Sample Role PM:

You win when all threats to the town are eliminated.


Scumhunt your heart this game out if you're town or towntell like none other if you're not, because the player that Jeff and I feel plays the best game will receive a 20 token prize!!!

tbh I'm fine with Dorzel or loner today, that or maybe gerry, just so shrub will shut up about lynching him, but I think in those 3 is best
over 8 years
I also don't like how Gerry softed pr again but still won't claim. If he claims anything but pr lynch him.

Mori says

Here's the thing: Gerry tried to get the lynch off both ThirdAug and imsohappy (imsohappy to a lesser extent, but if Gerry is mafia, that's understandable because imsohappy is the less important role):


Gerry says

What exactly do we learn if ThirdAug is lynched and town?



Gerry says

How did that go every other Forum Game we did that? I still think Dorzel is the better lynch.



Gerry says

ThirdAug is such a tryhard. If he was mafia he'd actually be participating. IMO.





but i ended up voting him?? lol


That's even more scummy. Its like you set up for them being lynched or not, and them flipping Mafia and you trying to keep them alive but also being one of the people voting them. GHD and I were clear that we did not want to lynch an AFK. Me because I already had scum reads on Arcbell and happy and GHD for whatever reason.

Ignore yoyo, he thinks I'm mafia cause he was scummy until now and I scumread him for it

Gerry, you wanted Dorzel most yesterday. What made you change your mind and want lonerism more?

Gerry says

I would not lynch the damn Mafia Role Cop. That's the best mafia role they prob had imo. Because you can find the PRs easy. I would just force NL. Like Shrub did :^)


i would like to point out that shrubs "forcing of the nl" never even mattered EVEN if shrub voted thirdaug we still would have needed another vote so shrub did not force nl his vote never mattered

Which is why I said what I said earlier today:


Mori says

Eh. It looked like you were reluctantly going along with it more than anything actually (@ Gerry)

over 8 years
Well you have to take into accout that ghd and I play very differently, I'm sure that's obvious, I mean I think most of his lines sucked, I know I cant undo everything he did, but we are town, I can assure you that lol, I want to know if yoyo still fosses Mori though, cause all Mori is doing is towntelling right now, it's a shame he's not here though.

Minecraftfangirlftw says

fyi if its in dorzel and third i'll be voting third



Minecraftfangirlftw says

let me just Vote: ThirdAug side note: i might make it home before the day ends so i might be able to change my vote (dont count on it)


Not like anyone's doubting Mine's status as town but I would like to bring this back in case you guys ever do lol

UltraAug says

If thirdaug flips mafia I think we will have a pretty easy time finding the rest with all these people saying "nah I don't really think I like that lynch but I have no valid reasoning not to vote them but I'll just not vote them anyway"



groundhogday says

why are you trying to scare me into voting him


This is one of the worst lines I read from GHD.

i don't wanna lynch thirdaug but i don't know why i don't wanna lynch thirdaug


You see. I think PonyLove is towny in the way she speaks but unfortunately she can't undo what GHD said and did so in the end of the day you have to take everything into account.

UltraAug says

id actually be okay with lynching yoyo today now if anyone else would follow

although i still prefer thirdaug


although some other people disagree with me i'm also good with a yoyo lynch. if not, a thirdaug or another isp'er lynch is good with me.

xSoniaNeverMindx says

Vote order pref goes like: imsohappy>Yoyo>Dorzel


how am i ahead of yoyo lmao


So you don't mind being lynched so long as it's after yoyo?


nah it means how am i'm more of a scumread than yoyo

even so, i think i've set my heart to yoyo flipping scum already


This is a very strange choice of words. It's too emotional to be a read on a partner, like she's attempting to appeal through her own scumread.

I'm perfectly fine in lynching lonerism > Dorzel = Shrub in that order.

But then there's this, which I think is bad interaction:


UltraAug says

shrub, whats your read on thirdaug





Shrub says

Happy is towntelling.

@Ultra I don't have a read on third he has had barely any lines but I want him alive because when he does start participating I know I can trust his reads if he is town, I'm pretty sure he will be able to townread me if he is town and I think I can read him correctly.



Shrub says

I would lynch Gerry over third


For this reason, so far, I'd put yoyo as townier than Shrub after my rereading.

Also Mori. imsohappy was nilla maf and 2 PRs are dead. Bussing nilla is not that hard. I'll keep going back to him not wanting to hammer ThirdAug the Mafia Role Cop.
over 8 years

imsohappy says

Shrub's sr on me is actually unnerving me a little considering the only times that he scumreads me is when A) i'm playing pretty badly as town or B) when he is mafia. however, since he claimed pr i'll hold off that thought for now.


More interactions that prove Shrub and imsohappy are most likely not partners.

Shrub says


Gerry says

Mori. What do you think of imsohappy tunneling yoyo all day yesterday?


Gerry. Why have you not claimed yet.


I'll claim tomorrow or the day after. Depending on if something happens. That's all I'll say.

That's all she had to say after catching up? It's really suspicious since ThirdAug flipped a really important mafia role.

Mori says


lonerism says

Hi i just finished catching up so im just wondering if we are letting thirdaug get a chance to claim before lynching him?


I really, really don't like this line. It's not what you said, but the way you said it. It sounds opportunistic.


Heads up about this.

I'll also be quoting imsohappy's reads in case anyone wants them as reference


imsohappy says

Okay after spending like 10 minutes skimming 15 pages all I've gathered is izzy as pretty solid town.

go me and my reads


:


imsohappy says


groundhogday says

i think most of the people talking a lot are town and there's mafia in the lurkers. so i want to lynch a lurker


i think i'll have to agree with you here, fairly certain one of the lurkers are scum.

Shrub says

Happy is more Mafia than town definately. She hasn't really interacted with anyone though.


Here's more on the interaction between these two.


imsohappy says

@Shrub I'm fairly certain that you null read me like a page ago, yet you scumread me now?



imsohappy says

Also i'm like actually surprised that you aren't reading me correctly like you usually do



Shrub says

I think I'm reading you correctly. Of my scum reads you are definately the one I would be least surprised to be town though and the one most likely to change.


@ people who scumread Shrub: Does this look like partner interaction to you? Why?

To me, if these two are partners, it was incredibly well staged and executed. In my opinion, it's extremely unlikely and it would certainly catch me off guard.


I don't think anyone actually scum reads me

Gerry tries to but it's not convincing whatsoever that he actually thinks I'm Mafia,
