We should not have given Barney or Kohai any mod powers.

Agreed, I think it was grand-fathered in. But to be fair it wasn't them that messaged me, it was savant, and he didn't force me to change it either, just said some of the mods were concerned, and said if I am keeping it they will have to have discussions debated on what to do with controversial profile pics.

Lunatic

Whelp, I am being dm'ed about changing my profile picture. I guess those not privy to the mafia game probably don't know my point was to make fun of thoth and demonstrate having an edgy pfp doesn't mean you believe and support nazi'ism, but whatever. Point still stands.

Lunatic
Of course I don't believe that, and I don't believe that I ever said that. It's just beyond what I think are the boundaries of acceptable profile pictures.

It's an extremely loose narrative to be that upset over a profile picture.


I would still support a policy lynch, but clearly you all think that trivializing Epstein's atrocities is just fine and dandy.

No one is trivializing anything, you jumped to insane conclusions about someone for a profile picture, the same way people villainize people for voting for presidents they don't like and attach all these wild narratives to people who support them. Again my profile picture is a literal serial killer. Do you think I support serial killers, or am trivializing serial killers?


Thank actual God no one is stupid enough to follow this policy lynch, I would genuinely lose faith in this community if they did.

Also I am not good at getting the ball rolling in these things. RVS is one of the main strategies I've used in the past, but it doesn't really work anymore because most people know what it is and what you are doing with it. I am a reactionary reader, look for something that stands out, once I am suspicious of something I explore it, and I will be a high poster as usual, but I don't want to make up some convoluted scum read either. I am here, I am keeping track of things, and I realized we are close to voting time. It might help me develop some scum reads seeing where the wagons go towards the end here. But for now, yeah not a ton to go off of.

Lunatic

Yea like im scrolling through the day phase again, skimming and just not seeing anything that stands out. a lot of the 6 pages has been intro posts, getting soft claims, fluff, etc. Not very substandard for dp1, but at the same time I don't pick up on anything major either. yet.

Lunatic
I have been trying to look for signs he was trolling here because of he is in think it's not affiliation indicative but feigned seriousness could be. I know a scum I often will do stuff like that so I can have an excuse to focus on a single individual and not have to provide in depth analysis. I might do that somewhat as town but as town I can catch myself and redirect my attention. So I was wondering if this is his way to appear active while coasting

I was kind of sus of it too, but not sure if he is just a snowflake, there are a lot of those these days so who knows

Lunatic

I don't have a lot of reads so far, its been kind of an inactive day phase. Mharman feels good, no red flags from pie yet, whiteflame is just inactive. Wylted seems okay, thoth I can't take seriously because of his wylted hate campaign, Banana feels very afk other than a few odd posts, but ive been inactive too, Rex hasn't said a ton, mago doesn't really stand out, yeah kind of a bad dp1 so far

Lunatic
 I guess we aren't ready to sanction someone for representing themselves with a guy who, among other deeds that don't make him a good role model, fucked underage girls and left a five-star review on a torture video.

There is no way you are actually spreading the narrative that wylted endorses rape and torture because of his pfp. You are acting crazy my guy.

RE: Softing talk

At some point someone should make a thread discussing the merits and results of that meta.

I've always thought the idea of softing was fine, its more of how much information we give away. It seems like there has been multiple games where people either soft too much or just full claim for no reason and under no pressure. It's kind of the execution we struggle on, not the meta itself.

Unvote
VTL Wylted

The only reason I didn't say this earlier is because I missed that wylted was playing.

I thought that profile picture was stupid enough before, but I am an edgy meme-lover, so I tolerated it. With the recent Epstein file drops, I can't put up with it anymore. I want to policy lynch wylted every day phase he is alive until he changes it. Hopefully his inability to play Mafia will out-incentivize the policy lynch being proof that we swallowed his ragebait.

I don't think he should be banned for that profile picture because I support free speech, but I also believe that we have the right to turn that free speech right back at people we don't like by, for instance, saying VTL wylted. As Voltaire never said, "I may not agree with your profile picture, but I will defend to the death my right to policy lynch you for it."

It's a cause for introspection that I never advocated policy lynching wylted for this when the worst thing I knew about Epstein is that he liked to fuck underage girls, but my point stands.


Wylted is a bit edgy, but he's harmless. He's a troll, but he's not a bad person, and far from toxic imo. There are ten times worse than wylted out there who actually endorse that stuff, wylted just likes to peoples goats. I would let this one go personally.


Here's some unforgivable sacrilege to your Nintendidols. I've never played a Legend of Zelda game from start to finish. I'm pretty sure that the only ones I've played are the first one and Ocarina of Time, both on emulators, and I don't think I got past the first sections. If that confession wasn't to a mortal enough sin, let me earn myself a latae sententiae excommunication from videogamedom: I didn't like either one.

I don't think I've played one all the way through either. Still enjoyed them for what they were though

I doubt that a cult would exist in a 9 player game personally. Those are OP in even the bigger games. Or at least if it did I don't think mikal would have given it his seal of approval. If there is a recruit ability its a 1x role like yakuza or something.

Lunatic

I am really hoping this game is balanced better than the last one. I have hope since mikal helped balance it a bit, but I remember the disaster that was the last game by kohai lol. I got town confirmed and subsequently killed np1 because of it. Among other balance issues, that was painful lol

Lunatic

Hello, played this a bunch on N64 back when I was kid, its a good game and series, but ill be honest, I haven't played a ton of the new ones. I bought the one for the switch and played like 2 hours of it tho.

Lunatic

Down to play and or host. If its the same time though, I will be driving to work again. Sat/sun/monday is better for me personally.

Lunatic
You really didn't need to go back and forth with him that much imo, his arguments on you were gaining no traction with anyone else and at a certain point it became repetitive.

I was never worried about him mislynching me, it was more that I wanted him on track and locked in to help us get lynches. He was the most active town player besides me, and he was wasting his vote on me each day phase.

Lunatic
But like the vibes in town were dumb. Why would you want to win there and not with scum, where we were partying

I was having a good time. Was slightly frustrating having a constant back and forth with mago but I had a pretty solid POE going.

Lunatic
We were fully prepared to quit after you initially said you would join us. We would’ve taken you down with us too, but you didn’t care about losing, which was like wtf to me. You can ask WF and REF. I was pissed.

Town definitely did not deserve to win this game after the poor performance everyone put in, but you were fine with taking the L if the rest of town won.

Like I said to whiteflame, you care about the win rate way more than I do. I used to care, now its just for the vibes.

Lunatic

Yeah there was some major lynch hesitation this whole game. What’s up with that? Is that something that recently started?
