Anyway, I do feel that Palmar is very likely to be town because of meta. As mafia, Palmar doesn't push people in this way. And yes, I still feel comfortable with this read even before seeing the reasons or the followup. This is a really towny post IMO. Trfel is throwing out an odd townread on someone who is kinda playing like lynchbait (and even backs up the meta-read fairly well in a followup post) while questioning their reads and trying to get further reaction from Bre. Cool, that's like 4 townreads right there. Ezy Game. | ||

Who do you think is trying to build themselves towncred? You and Shape were just on a mafia team together, do you have any insights into his alignment? Maybe you could try to talk about stuff like that rather than complain that the day is boring. | ||

Tictock, what do you think of Trfel and Eden arguing? Well I was thinking they were both town before they got into it, so I kinda just skimmed some of their exchange. The only thing that felt a little odd to me about the whole thing was I thought Trfel's case on Eden was a touch... premature? Like I see what he was getting at but it was also super early in the game to try and make a case like that. It might be a bit odd, but I think if Trfel had tabled that thought until today and saw Eden still being disengaged or w/e then the case would carry a lot more weight. I still think that other post from Trfel I quoted earlier is evidence of towny thinking, though I'm realizing today I didn't really account for the possibility of a Trfel/Palmar team. Not going to indulge that tinfoil today though. My read on Eden isn't that strong but my gut is telling me he is probably town as well. | ||

He also was like a gopher on groundhog day, he pop his head out, answer points about him being scum, then leave about 60% of the time. Other 40% was him pushing his scum reads. IF he was scum, he would have a scum read and take advantage of the situation between Eden and Trofl. + Show Spoiler [Or Tinfoil] + Slight chance that he is scum and someone like trofl or Etc. is a scum partner.

Though tbh I'm not sure a slight change in posting style from one game to another means much about alignment. | ||

Not only do I think he is approaching things from a very neutral viewpoint (he is looking at both town and mafia modivations) but I'm actually just enjoying his style of posting. It's really clear and easy for me to follow his lines of thinking. | ||

It's so amusing that you do not see the massive irony of making this post when you've done so little this game. Like you've only commented on Trfel and Eden being likely town kus you don't think mafia are willing to fight and then keep complaining about the game being dull. | ||

I was thinking on the bus back from tutoring that Tumble and GB might actually be town. For GB it's really only based on his recent town meta of being pretty disconnected and inactive (See his filters in Pick Your Power and Haunted Mansion, do note that in HM he was far more active D1 than any of the following days). Compared to his last scum game Outlaw where he put much more effort into being active to support his team and be disruptive. I wouldn't give him a pass for this, but I think I'm leaning town on GB for now. I'd still like to see him actually post something relevant to the game though. Tumble made this post which I'm not sure mafia would make. On February 17 2016 02:14 Tumblewood wrote: Shapelog, why are you trying so hard to make reads based off of little evidence? Like your meta-read on me based off of one game Pretty ballsy move to attack someone who just played with you as mafia, and is town reading you for it, if you are mafia. Both of these are pretty weak, but I'm not seeing any mafia motivation in what they are doing. | ||

I've played with him a couple of times recently, and have been able to read him as town fairly easily in both of them (maybe that's not true, I forgot when I made up my mind that he was town in PyP). This game I'm scratching my head a bit more. I was leaning scum on him a little based on the early game, but I'm a bit less sure now. Like the dear diary stuff didn't go anywhere but lead to a few dumbtells about him thinking Jat was in the game and such. I'll need to glance at his filter (would do it now but about to do stuff with roommates) and I'll try and get a better read on him. Sorry, that's probably not a very good answer, but it's what I got atm. | ||

This makes me think that he has obviously thought about what eden is saying and realised millers are self aware. then the second post he suddenly backtracks and says a bunch of words about not much. I know dumbtells almost always come from town and mafia hardly ever fake them but this isn't really a dumbtell because it isnt about the mafia roles. Like I don't get how the same person wrote these two posts. Scum lean on Shape This is actually a really good point. I thought that tinfoil was off, but I was thinking more because it was silly to keep talking about the miller stuff when nobody claimed. Also if Eden was mafia I'd imagine he would have just claimed Miller himself and let us sort out that they are in fact aware. + Show Spoiler + ok actually I have no idea if Eden would do that as scum (never played with the guy/gal before), but I'm pretty sure I would have Ugh, I didn't want to have to go look at Shapes mafia filter, but I'm getting the feeling I may need to. | ||

The town!Bre that I know is never on the frontlines directing town and pushing the game forward, he's more the quite thoughtful guy in the corner who catches stuff that gets overlooked. His activity and the fact that he tends to post small snippets rather than huge cases and reads often makes it hard for people to read him. Every post I've seen from Bre this game looks like town!Bre to me. Asking questions with purpose, pointing out stuff that others miss (like the last post of his I quoted), and he's showing efforts at solving the game. | ||

Well for me personally I find I tend to play better when I'm not trying to drop a vote with the first decent looking case that is brought up and instead focus a little more on my reads. Again, this is moreso in regards to D1-2. Later in the game it's easier and probably better to get the ball rolling with votes since there is already plenty to go on.

Some solid reads in there, I'll prob reread this later on tonight as I run through filters. Both you and Palmar seem to forget that that in PyP it wasn't until D3 that I really started to push my scumreads (or reads in general). D1 I don't think I voted till ~3 hours left in the day and only had a scumread on Dis. I get where you are coming from about townreads being easier for scum, but I've been finding that getting even just one or two pretty solid townreads early on can be really useful. Kinda inspired by Damdred's play actually. | ||

5) Breshke 6)nooniansoong 8) The Shining 9) Scott 11) Rsoultin 12GlowingBear 13) sicklucker Ok this was where I was at earlier, Shining's recent posts make me fairly convinced he is town, Bre and Tumble are also townleans for me. So that leaves me with.... 6)nooniansoong 9) Scott 11) Rsoultin 12GlowingBear 13) sicklucker Rsoul is pretty null to me, I see her mostly playing peacekeeper and her posting style makes it a bit hard to read her. Overall though she is pretty engaged and has been pretty open with sharing her thoughts so she's probably not a great lynch today. SL is kinda in the same boat for me, and I'm tempted to just put him on a back burner but I promised to filter dive him. So here I go... + Show Spoiler [FilterDive] + First 3 posts still feel off to me, but Rsoul pointed out that his early posts were probably in response to Trfel's open so that might explain the odd feels I'm getting. I'm actually not a fan at all of the vote on Eden. It looks really opportunistic to me, and the followup reasoning is pretty shit.

I'm kinda thinking this was just an excuse to leave his vote on Eden. This is kinda backed up by the fact that SL is now saying he was voting for information but got none since nobody else voted Eden. I do sorta agree with SL about the setup speculation point. It's more beneficial to mafia than town imo, least in a semi-open setup like this. This read progression looks odd to me as well.

Neither Kush nor Scott have done much to warrant any townreads, but I also don't see much mafia motivation in their posts either. Kush is not as active as I've seen him in recent games, but that's not necessarily indicative of much. Been a long time since i played with Scott and his posts could come from either alignment. I don't know what to do about GB. On the one hand I think he could actually be town, but on the other I'm very unimpressed with what he has posted thus far. Policy lynch is an option. + Show Spoiler + Just to be clear I'm suggesting this because GB is clearly not making an effort to make himself readable this game, and if he is town I doubt he is going to be terribly helpful anyways So I think this all leaves me wanting to lynch SL, and possibly policy lynch GB. ##Vote: Sicklucker | ||

GB and Shining both trying to start shenannigans makes them more likely to be town kus mafia would prob be much happier to just pile onto the mislynch on Palmar. It's really hard for me to draw any conclusions about scott though. Like there was several pretty last min votes on Palmar, but I know I'm town and I'm pretty sure Eden is as well so that would only leave Tumble as possible scum trying to save his buddy. Idk the votes were all over the place, which might actually mean it was a town v town. | ||

Tumblewood is town because his posting style is much more carefree and conversational than his mafia game, and because he's putting in a lot of effort, as shown by his written notes. Breshke is town because he didn't kill Palmar, despite Palmar having a strong suspicion of him, and he's been sharing sensible thoughts. Nooniansoong is maybe mafia because of his lack of caring about the lynch (being willing to lynch Palmar while townreading him), and his GlowingBear read doesn't feel genuine. The Shining is maybe mafia because he can't possibly think that Tumblewood is mafia after those pictures that Tumblewood posted. Eden1892 is town because he got angry early on in a really towny way. Rsoultin is town because she didn't lynch Palmar, despite having plenty of justification to do so, and for a relatively large post count, despite saying she'd be lazy. Any comments are more than welcome. I'm fairly confident in the town reads, not so confident on the scum reads, largely no opinion on people not on the list. Setting Aside that I love this idea. Also GB's light-saber pic is making me giggle. I don't use that term lightly... | ||

He started the game off with about five jokes and no content. Given that this is day 1, that's not too important. I'm not sure how to feel on the weird read toward nooniansong, because it doesn't necessarily feel scummy or townie, just poorly informed. But the posts that really strike me are: and In both of them, he mentions something about not being scum. Why would a townie ever do that? Why would anyone ever do that? "Unless your scum team kills me," and, "Yet to roll mafia sadly," are things normal townies don't just drop. It just screams to me, "Oh boy, what a shame I'm not mafia!" Also, "I am always Sus. on my D1's" doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me, but I haven't played with Shapelog before.

Looking through his filter, though, there's not much to put him on one side or the other. If I had to redo that list, I'd swap Onegu and Trfel. On January 28 2016 01:31 Tumblewood wrote: I had a big long post halfway written, but then I went to sleep and everything has changed. So, again, I'm going to make one big long post. First, about our three main suspects: Onegu, PepperMintTea and Shapelog Onegu hasn't really done anything aside from his one big post and his arguments defending that post. Everything else is just Onegu being the Newbie Police. I won't quote that post since it's gigantic, but the read on Trfel is good and the rest doesn't say very much. It's hard to townread him for anything he's done this game, so he's a slight scumread. PepperMintTea hasn't done anything to give me an opinion of him. It looks to me as if people saw one post with sort of flawed logic and then went entirely off of that. Shapelog's early play (say, pre page 16) was scummy as hell. You guys are all townreading him for reasons that are mostly "Too scummy to be scum", like Eden's post (cropped) The bolded section, the main reason for townreading, makes no sense. It's basically, "It doesn't make him look like town, and scum wants to look like town, so he must not be scum." I'd appreciate if you'd explain that point to me. Next, about the other consistently active players: darthfoley, _MexicanAlien, and Trfel Onegu, regardless of whether he's scum, made a good point on Trfel. Trfel's been asking so many questions but hasn't said much of anything himself. That reads scum to me, because it allows him to advance mafia's agenda without doing anything himself, if that makes sense. Anything I say on darthfoley will be a weak point. He hasn't done much of anything this game to give me a strong opinion on him, so I'm going to call this one a null read. MexicanAlien looks like a complete townread if you ignore his first ten posts. He started the game off with things like, "We need to figure out a strategy" and "We need information", which would be a sure scumread if he weren't a complete newbie or if he continued like that. Those first few posts set off alarm bells in my head, but I think I was wrong on that one, because he's been a normal contributing member of the town since then. And everyone else I have nothing to say about Kuramari and Ikidomari because of how little they've posted and how little they've said. Opinions pending. JesusIncarnate is weird to me because he was away for the first 15 hours of the game then came back and said half good points and half "sick meme". I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, but it's definitely suspicious in my mind if he doesn't do anything more for the next several hours. Eden and Alur read town for me, because they seem to be the ones with the most desire to hunt scum in the town. Alur went quiet for a while, but my opinion on him hasn't changed yet. Eden is the more town-leaning of the two. Nooniansoong (kush?) is a sliiiight scum read for me because he's gotten by doing very little so far. There's definitely not enough, though, there to base a lynch off of. TL;DR I was gone for a while and now I'm trying to catch up. Shapelog still reads scum to me, Onegu and Trfel also look scum to me, Eden, Alur, MexicanAlien look town. I need to read through this again and see what everyone else did because it's sort of lame having null / very weak reads on 6/12 other players. Very different approach then from here. Ok wow that is a big difference... actually huge. But...If Tumble was scum in both games, do you think he would play the same way? Given how EoD went, the notes, etc... what is your current read on Tumble? | ||

I feel that the correct read on Tumblewood is clearly town because of post length. You look at his mafia game, and he provided fairly long posts. This game, his posts are short and conversational, more directly involved. This is a very distinct playstyle change, and gives a near 100% townread. I'm extremely confident in it. Shapelog said this, but wasn't very confident in it, and then switched this to a scum lean / could lynch because he completely misinterpreted Tumblewood's post, while sharing exactly the same problem (a bit lost with regards to reads) as Tumblewood did, that he was picking on in the first place. In addition, rsoultin feels that Shapelog's happiness is faked. And Shapelog is defending himself differently at different times. He went from "I can't be lynched Day 1, I have a streak of endgames going and I don't want to be mislynched on Day 1" to "if I get mislynched today, it's all my fault". This is still off to me, even with the backup explanation. This strong of a TR on Tumble based off meta Shape provided is really weird. If shape is mafia trying to setup a ML on Tumble, why would he bring up the discrepancy in Tumbles posting between the two games? - On February 18 2016 03:19 nooniansoong wrote: um shape why are you voting trfel for a joke...?

Makes me feel that there is scum in people that are more familiar to me and are resigned to not lynching me. Is this a bad assumption?

His main scumread is no longer a valid lynch, and now he's questioning his TR on Trfel for wanting to lynch someone he has no read on? Then Tumble ends up lynching Palmar, a "Bad Lynch" over Scott. On the one hand I agree that Palmar was the better lynch between the two, I checked both their filters before I voted Palmar and scott was easily the better looking filter. On the other that doesn't line up with the reads Tumble was putting out before EoD. In fact I'm kinda thinking the reads post I quoted above was mostly to justify the vote on Shape. Which was the read he put the most effort into explaining, yet it's also based on the same meta based reasoning he admonished Shape for using on him.

Conclusions: Breshke is town, idk what Palmar was on about. Tumble is probably mafia, read progressions suggest an agenda because his main reads/poe list went out the window when his preferred lynch claimed blue. If Tumble flips red it's much more likely that scott is mafia, but not necessarily true. Trfel's strong TR on Tumble seems off to me, and it's also possible him being so sure Palmar was town was TMI like palmar suggested. Overall I'm still thinking Trfel is town because he seems to genuinely want to solve the game, but a lot of his reads just don't make sense to me. Kush is probably also Scum. Team of Tumble/Scott/Kush actually makes a lot of sense. I'm thinking Tumble is who we start with. Caution: This is a hidden WoT. What started as a tinfoil theory merged with my catching up with the pages I missed before EoD. This also took a lot out of me, may not do much more till next phase and see where we are at then. | ||

So it's like "here's my list, but it's prob bad so just ignore me!" Kush if you don't start giving us your thinking there is no chance I can believe you have real reads this game. | ||

On February 19 2016 06:31 Trfel wrote: I think that the point about claiming, while it is a contradiction, is secondary to the overall picture of Tumblewood's play. I do find the read switch on Palmar quite suspicious, but here's the thing. If you look at most people's play as mafia, Tumblewood's included (at least, those people who actually try), their filter is largely consistent. They'll scumread someone and keep scumreading that person, and if they start pushing someone else, they'll say why. The way that Tumblewood goes about that read switch in such a careless manner makes me hesitate to scumread him for it, give how deliberate he was with his votes last game. This makes the Palmar switch feel less relevant given Tumblewood's play as a whole. You pointed out yourself that scum would have preferred to lynch town!Palmar over town!Scott. Also I think the dynamics of the D1 lynch are wildly different if Scott is in fact not town. Most of my current read on Tumble is in that weird Tinfoil post I did earlier, since you asked about people who were scum reading him. I should probably make a cleaned up version of that since it was one of my train of thought posts. I'm also of the opinion that the notes tumble took pics of is actually the same sorta effort Shape was showing he made in his last scum game. It looks a lot different but it's basically a couple of mega posts with reads that look good. It's less impressive when you notice that he doesn't come to many conclusions and then his EoD voting suggested that he wasn't terribly concerned with his earlier PoE and reads. | ||

He basically said what I just told you to shape about trying to read him, then said Shape was playing a lot like he did as scum in the last game and voted him. I also thought his vote onto Palmar was pretty suspect since Palmar had been a "Bad lynch" in an earlier post. When the wagon on Shape fell apart he just settled with Palmar, or more accurately he denounced all the other wagons.

Hosts need to stop giving me nk power. I don't understand why scum GB wouldn't fake claim there btw. It goes like this: GB has no useful contribution this game. GB posts pics. GB tunnels one person. GB goes under suspicion. GB claims vig. At best, he gets read as unCCd town vig if I don't cc him and rides that credit. At worst, he draws out the vig and goes 1-1. The reason scum would do this is if they can also confirm Shapes blue role, which happened. One scum for confirmation on two blue roles when that scum is already under suspicion is quite likely. As for GB drawing a shot, Shape was pretty much confirmed town after his claim. I started tinfoiling because I was under the assumption rbs were notified and he should've either known he was rbd or actually saw me shoot Eden. Blue Shape being rbd and living makes complete sense now. But once Shape claimed watcher, there was no reason for a townGB to think a vig who alrdy shot was going to soak a bullet as opposed to the watcher who arguably becomes stronger the longer he's alive. Especially since scum has no way of guaranteeing their rber doesn't get lynched today. Tldr why would GB think a vig who is basically named vt now would soak a shot over basically confirmed watcher Shape? He wouldn't. The fakeclaim is scummy. Can you elaborate on this part Shining? Kus Shape had already claimed, and it was pretty obv that one of the shots was a Vig. So wouldn't scum already have all the info they need? I agree his fakeclaim was pretty bad but I really don't see any gain for scum to make that play. Town makes pretty stupid fake claims sometimes, like Damdred fake CC'd my claim as GS in Outlaw kus he was convinced I was lying and was scum (I was in fact the GS). | ||

"Do not Lynch" speaks for itself, so why did Palmar become lynchable in Tumble's mind? After Shape claimed blue, what happened to his read on SL? Scott was down as a "wait and see" and hadn't done anything else since that post.

Ok apparently I forgot GB was in the Nutcraker game, starting with that one kus it's pretty recent and I was in that game (albeit as scum). + Show Spoiler + I'm seeing a lot of similarities in GB's play between the 2 games. One thing that jumps out is that GB made a very similar push on Kush in both games.

I mean that as either alignment it makes very little sense. If this is a fakeclaim from town!GB then why does he flip out and vote(fakevote?) Shining? He knows he's fakeclaiming and a CC is almost for sure going to be the real Vig, so either GB doesn't think Shining is a vig or he's flailing hard. If this is scum!GB why does he even bother to claim? Getting the real vig to claim means nothing for scum and Shape has already claimed his role. If he does claim, why backoff so fast? Like it was clear that Breshke and I were instantly more suspect of The Shining than GB so a scum!GB would have kept his claim and gone for the 1v1 right? Bah this is why I wanted to ignore this, kus it legit just doesn't make sense as either alignment. I guess I can almost believe GB was going to move to eat a bullet, especially kus if he was scum he would have known that SL was not the Vig shot. Now we have GB's more recent burst of activity and his anger over being scumread for his lackluster play. Overall I see that easily coming from either alignment, the anger does seem fake though as I think GB understands that being lynched is part of the game ans can self-evaluate his own play enough to understand why he is being scumread here. His reads list wasn't terrible though. On February 21 2016 02:35 GlowingBear wrote: I've already gave my reads, the strongest read I had once was Eden being town and sicklucker and Kush being Mafia. I think Truffle is townie although his push on me is weird I think Tictock is townie for the way he is engaging the game. Shapelog is town. Shining is town. I don't know about Breshke, he sounds townish but he doesn't look very engaged to the thread. Sometimes he comes, comment things and disappears. I thought Kush was Mafia but I'm not sure anymore after reading his filter. He seems very engaged in finding scum especially on how he faces Tictock, so he might be town after all. I think Tumblewood could be Mafia out of PoE. Not really strong reasons against him because nothing stands out from his filter but his images, that can be easily done to get towncred. He has done nothing with those "lots of information" after he posted them, and some of them are distorted interpretation of what people say in thread. I think Rsoultin is Mafia because she can read me well and her flip on me doesn't make sense and is very opportunistic considering she is following thread sentiment. I have no idea about scott but I also don't understand his scum read on me which also feels very opportunistic considering I'm his counter wagon and he hasn't commented a single post from my filter Honestly the only problem I have with this post was that GB wasn't just freely sharing these reads, it was like he churned them out upon request. Conclusions: Fuck if I know, but GB has a pretty good chance of flipping red here, probably goon or shadow, or w/e. I only had the one scum game to look at so idk if he does bouts of fake emotion as scum, but there was a clear similarity in how GB is asking "Why am I scum" both in Outlaw and here, whereas in his town games he is more focused on his reads or is trying to convince people he is town. Maybe GB has just been playing this game with the idea of being too scummy to be scum and then decides to put in the effort for a few hours before EoD to try and wiggle the wagon off him. Seems like a pretty shit play as scum though... but I suppose it's even worse as town... Sigh, I swear GB if you are town here I will highly consider doing the unspeakable things I almost typed here. ##Vote: GlowingBear | ||

I suppose there is a possibility that Scott/Tumble are the last 2 mafia and GB stayed off the main wagons D1 kus he knew Tumble was going to vote Palmar, but it seems like a risky play. Something very similar happened D1 in Haunted Mansion so thats part of it too. But honestly the combination of the votes being so spread out and GB being off the main wagons really makes me think D1 was Town v Town. | ||

That's actually not a bad point, I forgot Scott was mafia in Huanted mansion, and to some extent his posts do look similar. I kinda feel like that's just how scott posts though as either alignment. He's also not making excuses for his abscense or making promises that he'll do something later on which was one of the scummier things he did in that game imo. My gut is pretty sure scott is town here though... | ||

Looking at the votes again it was 4 v 2 (Palmar v Scott) after I voted for Palmar. This was when GB put his vote on Kush. After that it was Rsoul swapping to Scott that tied the wagons 3v3 but Eden voted at like the same time so it was 4v3 5 min till EoD Tumble and SL voted at about the same time, with SL's switch to scott being what made the wagon's tied. So you are correct that GB's vote came at a time when scott was not really looking like one of the main wagons, but I still feel like it's weird that GB would have kept his vote off by itself if it was Scum v Town. | ||

Everything GB did was probably just pure WIFOM play but I'm sure he tried to go down in a way that would give his team a leg up. If GB/Scott/Tumble is the scumteam, and we lynched town!Palmar D1 and our vig shot town!Eden N1 then I'm submitting this game for worst town 2016. | ||

@Trfel my GB read was bad and has been the last few games I've played with him. I said he. MIGHT be town due to meta, but then realized he was doing nothing to make himself readable and was a decent plynch. D2 I have no idea what GB was playing at with the fakeclaim. That still makes no sense to me. | ||

This blows, now we are in MyLo right? If i have time tonight I'll try to be around and relook at stuff. Right now Kush/Tumble are still my 2 scumreads, I'm actually really fucking sure about Kush now kus he's been touting this GB/Scott/Me scumteam even before GB flipped. Seems to me like he bussed GB for cred and is hoping to use that to finish off the game. Kinda interesting Tumble didn't vote there though, maybe he didn't want to look bad when scott flipped but didn't have anything else to push? | ||

However, you didn't follow up by asking any questions for him or working on your read on him until the night before the deadline, where you finally looked at his filter. If his play was so interesting, why this delay? 2. What happened to your suspicion of Shapelog on Day 1? This post doesn't show it, despite you showing suspicions of Shapelog not long before. 3. I'm having a lot of trouble understanding the thought process behind your tinfoil post. Before this post, you were thinking that scott31337 was town because of the spread vote count. So, you went into the tinfoil post with the assumption that scott31337 is scum, right? And came out with the conclusion that scott31337, Tumblewood, and nooniansoong is a sensible scum team. So, what I don't get is, why do you go with this assumption and vote for Tumblewood, if you had reason to believe that scott31337 is town and never showed why this is wrong? And why vote for Tumblewood and not scott31337 to begin with? 1) If I recall right I was talking about his opening posts, the dear diary interesting? It was a style of posting I've never seen SL do, so I mentioned it to remind me to check his filter later. It was pg 1 post 2 though? it wasn't worth interrogating him for 2) I townread Shape early on for reacting to your Eden case with almost exactly my thinking. There was other stuff too like how he was messing around with me a little but staying fairly focused. I was guessing from his last scum game that he'd prob run with the chance to talk nonsense and spam, but he didn't. 3) Yea, so basically the first part of that tinfoil (before the silly intermission pic) I was talking out my ass before I'd really caught up with the game. You are correct that I was taking the opposite stance from my initial conclusion that D1 was probably TvT. I realized that it was ofc stupid to do that before actually catching up with the game, so I went back to reread and filled in that post with what I found relevant to how the Shape wagon built and then how the votes went after shape claimed blue. From that reading I came to my conclusions that Tumble was likely scum based on his voting and his reasons for doing so. I've avoided making any more tinfoil posts due to how terribly I flowered that one up. Though BTW, I do tinfoil as scum + Show Spoiler + ... but I also do it as town. | ||

So EoD1 was this: Vote Count - Day 1 Palmar (4): scott31337 (4): GlowingBear (2): Breshke(1): Palmar Tumblewood (1): The Shining, nooniansoong (1): GlowinBear Trfel (0): Eden1892 (0): Sicklucker(0): The Shining (0): Shapelog (0): D1 was Town v Town and mafia apparently felt really comfortable. I think the fact that GB was voting off-wagon is interesting since he actually was pretty close to being a serious wagon. Here was the voting at :50 (10 min till deadline) Vote Count - Day 1 Palmar (3): Sicklucker(2): Ticktock, GlowingBear(2): scott31337 (2): The Shining (1): Eden1892, Breshke(1): Palmar Shapelog (1): Tumblewood (1): The Shining, Trfel (0): Eden1892 (0): At this point it was anyone's guess who the lynch was going to be. Next votes are Me -> Palmar, GB -> Kush, Rsoul -> Scott My vote looks bad, but I think Rsoul has to be town for this swap because if she is scum with GB she just made it more likely he could be lynched literally minuets before deadline. After that it was Tumble and Eden onto Palmar that ended D1. Unless the last 2 mafia are Rsoul/Tumble(I'd need to look into this) I think Rsoul has to be town from this. D2: Vote Count - Day 2 TumbleWood(1): The Shining(0): Glowingbear(8): The Shining, nooniansoong, Trfel, Rsoultin, TickTock, scott31337, shapelog, tumblewood Scott31337(1): Rsoultin(0): GB's vote is a giant pile of WIFOM that I'm not sure I really want to go near. Breshke being off-wagon is interesting but a rather unlikely place to find mafia (+ Show Spoiler + or is it a genius place for mafia to hide! D3: Vote Count - Day 3 scott31337 (5): Trfel, Breshke, nooniansoong, rsoultin, The Shining Tumblewood (1): Tictock Breshke (1): scott31337 Not Voting (1): Tumblewood At this time, scott31337 is slated to be lynched. Day 2 ends in on 21:00 GMT (+00:00). The voting thread is here. Only votes there will be counted. Not sure if this tells us anything? Tumble not voting is weird, he mentioned that he forgot to check-in at deadline before is this like a weird going out of his way to prove it thing? He seemed to strongly support the scott lynch too... Well based on VCA I think Tumble is still the most likely mafia here. + Show Spoiler + I still think it would be amazing if Kush and GB did double bus and Kush is playing this like a champ. It is a bold move from a scum!Kush to push Shape to claim and then insta-vote his scummate when he does. The way Kush was pushing Shape to claim was pretty weird though. I honestly feel like GB's play makes no sense this game unless he basically wanted to be lynched, which highly suggests a big bus play like that to me. Atm I see no reason why a GB/Kush/Tumble team is impossible, but I haven't really looked into associations here. | ||

Kush: The Hierophant ![]() + Show Spoiler + The Hierophant is a symbol for a world of belief and confession, may it be a church, a sect or an occult society. He's the pope, the druid or the High Priest in a system of creeds and dogmas. He represents the religious and intellectual tradition of a person, and may be the one the person is born to it or possibly the one who has chosen it by himself. So he's like a man of god... a Godfather! There is also this connection to a sect, or occult society. Sounds a lot like a mafia team to me. Tumble: Ace of Cups ![]() + Show Spoiler + The Ace of Cups represents the beginning of love, fertility and creativity. It is a card to inspire confidence and happiness. When it turns up a reading of an everyday nature it can indicate the start of a loving relationship (of either the romantic or friendship variety); it can represent the beginning of a project in which a great deal of loving energy is invested (rather like the beginning of angelpaths); or sometimes it can reveal conception - the beginning of a new life. This actually suggests Tumble is town, his first game on this site was as scum so the "new beginning" here would suggest his first town game I think the proper play today is pretty clear... ##Vote: Kush | ||

If you are scum, you could be trying to push a mislynch on me. I do not know which of those two is correct. You and Breshke could be pushing for a final mislynch on me, or one or both of you could be town. I cannot tell which is true, hence the null read. After deadline, I was really confused what to think on everyone because I didn't know where everyone stood, so I sorted it on paper. Ok I can see the thing about me being null to you I guess, but I kinda don't like your answer about the notes. You are saying you made them to help "sort people out" but I don't really see any evidence of those notes going anywhere.

After you post those lists you made that post and this one: On February 19 2016 05:24 Tumblewood wrote: Wow I am regretting my Palmar vote more and more by the hour. The reason I voted was because there were three wagons sitting at two votes (Scott, Shining, and... GB, I think) and I thought they all sucked. They were all effectively p-lynches on people who hadn't been active, and those hit town more often than not. The bolded lines here stand out to me, kus the first one is fairly untrue given when you did place your vote (at that point (:58) it was 4v3v2) and then wasn't the lynch on Palmar largely policy too? Can you explain to me why Palmar was a different quality of lynch over the other 3? But getting back to the notes, you don't mention them again till these posts.

You don't react at all to GB's crazyness at the start of D2, but then make those posts about your read on him being bad but he still might be scum anyway, seems like you almost wanted to defend him but then realized that wasn't a good move.

So the Big things to me (before I've gotten caught up or reviewed things): - Lack of reasoning behind reads, Kush's reads sometimes seem to change on a whim and he really only explains them when pushed. I also don't like how often he downplays his own reads (calling them bad, tec) because it's like he's just excusing himself for them being wrong later on. - Based his main scumreads based on pre-flip associations with GB. This prob doesn't seem bad to the rest of you since it seems like I'm in everyones PoE list, but from my perspective it looks like Kush was pushing 2 town based on one scum flip. Guess how many lynches scum needed after GB flipped? - Pushing Shape to claim. I missed this when it first happened and didn't get back to it till much later (and I was half writting my tinfoil when I did read these pages so I think I was focused on other stuff), but the way that Kush voted for Shape, pushed Shape to claim, and then specify his claim all looks super scummy. Like his vote on Shape was shit, then he takes advantage of Shapes situation by pushing him to claim.

So when you went into that tinfoil post, before it you were thinking that scott31337 was town because the Day 1 votes suggested Town vs Town. Then you decided that making this conclusion was bad before you read more carefully, right? So, I'm assuming that by the end of the tinfoil post, you'd read everything? So, what was your conclusion about scott31337's alignment, and why? And how and why did your previous read on the Day 1 lynch being town vs town change? Here's the deal Trfel, I still thought TvT was most likely after my tinfoil, tinfoiling about scott being scum doesn't make him scum or influence my read, I just wanted to explore possibilities. At the end of my reading, checking into why people voted, what their read progression was, etc, I was pretty focused on Tumble. I thought even disregarding the tinfoil his vote and reads were the most sus. That read on him was also independent of anyone else's alignment so that's why it was the main read I pushed. | ||

Tinfoil post saying he wants to lynch Tumblewood, @4:36 EST [lots of commenting] [more commenting] [some reads but nothing pointed] Voting for who he thought was scum last night (Tumblewood), @22:02 EST So, a bit over 17 hours later, after a ton of commenting on things, he votes for the same person as he thought before, for the exact same reasons? Things to check: 1. How much did Tictock push Tumblewood relative to the wagon on GlowingBear? Did he throw out a read and not talk about it much while the GlowingBear wagon wasn't there, or was this after the GlowingBear wagon was already going? If the former, it's suspicious how his activity with regards to this push increased later. 2. Why didn't Tumblewood push any of the other lynches as much as he did the Tumblewood wagon? He seemed to be making a fuss over this, which I definitely don't remember him making Day 1 (would have thought he'd want to lynch sicklucker) or Day 3 (not lynching scott, lynching Tumble isntead). It's a bit hard for me to tell if he actually was trying to defend scott or not, but maybe comparing his push on Tumble D2 and the defense of scott D3 shows something.

He responded to townreads that I posted about Tumblewood and ways that his read was directly questioned. His tone towards the Tumblewood lynch and the force with which he pushes it changes here, once it starts feeling like GlowingBear will be lynched. And while his push on Tumblewood was of moderate involvement, his defense of scott and push onto Tumblewood on Day 3 seems almost nonexistant. This strongly suggests that Tictock is mafia. Thoughts?

If he is blue it should be his choice to claim or to do what Shape was doing and try to step up a little and push his reads, etc. Telling him he nees to claim, pushing him to do it when he seems like he doesn't want to, and pushing him to claim his specific role. All of that is definitely in line with scum motives more than town motives. So yea, it's scummy that I see you add pressure to his wagon with a silly vote then pressure a claim out of him. I don't see why town would do that. | ||

Kinda disappointing Bre hasn't posted, I prefer to see everyone's reactions... + Show Spoiler [ Truth Behind Truths] + Actually thats not 100% true, I actually do put some value in the tarot cards themselves... but I can't expect anyone else to buy that. It's kinda like a meta read to me, it gives me something interesting to look at, that can often be misinterpreted, but that might hold a fair bit of truth. I have only used tarot once before in mafia and the results were mixed, yet still valuable to me. Using them here was something I decided to do kinda for fun and kus I got interesting reactions the last time I put tarot cards in a mafia game. To be fair the Readings are hard to decipher. For example, I said Kush's card means he's the god father kus that's kinda the surface read of that card. However it also suggests deep understanding, a push to learn the truth, unwavering resolve, etc. So by no means does the card have to mean "Godfather" but I thought that was the relevant piece and it aligned with my read on him. Also it made my post look more trolly to go "Man of god... Clearly the Godfather!" ^.^ I was hinting at one thing though I think the proper play today is pretty clear... No-Lynch is clearly the best play today. I'm actually really surprised nobody but Kush has talked about it like a serious option. I felt like both you and Trfel brushed it off too easily. It's not a huge jump in odds for us, but I'd take it. 1/3 chance of getting mafia today -> 2/5 tomorrow. | ||

In an ongoing effort to be fair and partial though I intend to look at Bre's filter today. Also Rsouls's. Like I'm actually rethinking my read on you Kush based on your approach today, you are going about MyLo in a rather towny way. Trfel is also putting in work to try and figure out alignments. Tumble looks like obv scum the way he is doing today (but I'm still the only one who thinks so apparnetly). So I'm left wondering if my read on Rsoul was bad or if my read on Bre was off. Right now though I would say Tumble is my top lynch, after no-lynching. | ||

Tumble - Most likely scum, weak accusation against me for doing tarot, not doing anything to figuer out alignments Rsoul - Seems to be looking at the game fairly, kinda tagging along with townleaders though. D1 vote suggests she can only be scum with Tumble. Bre - Feels town, but hasn't done anything yet today. I know he is playing in another game but I'd expect him to put more focus on this game since we are in MyLo. Kush - Probably town since he is trying to solve the game today, still a bit uneasy kus of some of the stuff I was seeing Trfel - Has been trying to solve the game, questioning a lot and doing rereading, also feels natural and isn't pushing out cases to get his lynch. Easily town. I think that's pretty much where I am at. | ||

I know dumbtells almost always come from town and mafia hardly ever fake them but this isn't really a dumbtell because it isnt about the mafia roles. Like I don't get how the same person wrote these two posts. Scum lean on Shape I thought it was a decent point about Shape agreeing that millers should claim (knows they are aware) and then suddenly makes a tinfoil about them not being aware. I thought his(Shape's) tinfoil there was pretty weak since he could have easily checked the OP and seen Millers are aware. Looks legit to me still. | ||

But I'd still prefer to cut my losses. If you're fine with no-lynching, thus going into LYLO with me barely being present, then I guess that works, but I don't think it's smart, especially since rsoultin's schedule also works better with no-lynching. Ok, well assuming we HAVE to lynch today then. If I were suddenly mod-killed or whatever, who would you be voting for? | ||

Some people want to lynch shining. What is your opinion on that shape? This looks like town!Bre interacting with his scumread (this is right after that post I just quoted). Explains his position and what he meant, but asks Shape about an unrelated matter to remove potential bias and further the read.

Eh I'm tempted to say that's a disconnect between how he was treating Shape and SL but maybe it's just kus SL was softing blue and Bre picked up on it whereas Shape outright claimed. I could also see town!Bre just being caught up in all the blue talk at this point. Actually this leads me think Bre couldn't have been scum who killed SL.

I have problems with SL but it is better I talk about it D2 I have no idea who we lynch but im fairly sure it will be one of the less active players. Bre hinted multiple times that he was holding back a read on SL and then said D2 he was planning to push him hard for taking back the blue claim N1. If scum did kill SL N1 kus they thought he was blue then why would Bre be holding back his SL read like that? Gunna stop this kus I don't want to make a giant WoT (and this was all only one page on Bre's filter >.<). I'm seeing a lot of stuff to support Bre being town though... even just reading one page of his filter here. | ||

Votes Shining right off, asks about what people think GB's alignment is based off the claim (without coming to a conclusion himself), and then realizes Eden was the Vig shot?

First of all im fairly sure the lynches were never at 2 votes each especially not when tumble ended up voting for palmar and also in the first post he calls people good lynches and in the second he says the same people were bad wagons. I know there was a lynch inbetween so we got more information but i don't really see him using any of that information to make this change of reads. Ive pointed out other disconnects in his posts before and im not sure if it is just because he is a new player or not but he also doesn't feel very involved in the thread and when he is around i feel like he just takes pot shots at people. Still want to lynch scott first because cant risk bringing him to mylo Seems to have a scumread on Tumble, but wants to lynch Scott becasue "we can't bring him to mylo" which seems like a really weak reason to vote Scott over Tumble to me. I'm about out of time (have to get ready for work) but Bre's reactions around the fakeclaim were a little off and he seemed to drop off his posting a fair bit after that point. His reasoning for voting scott was also kinda weak, especially since he was one of the people who agreed N1 that the VCA suggested it was TvT. Maybe my read on Bre was influenced too strongly by his play D1, his reactions to the fakeclaim and drop off in play after that could suggest that he is scum and was worried about associations so started posting less. I'd still lynch Tumble first, and need to check Rsoul better but Bre could be scum here (even if my gut still says town). | ||

Apparently my townreads as scum are lethal... Kush played really well this game his scumreads were spot on for most of the game. Only mistake made was townreading Rsoul for the GB lynch. Also btw, my tarot was 100% legit... expect I pulled cards for everyone D1. I was originally going to share them with the whole game but I decided not too as the cards I drew for Rsoul and GB linked really well with their roles and I didn't want to throw that much spin on the interpretation. I even drew Death for Breshke... which hopefully doesn't indicate anything in regards to his RL situation. I'd be willing to share the cards I drew for people and their supposed meaning as well as my interpretation if people would like. I know it's a weird thing to do for Mafia but I've toyed around with Tarot for years and it's always interesting for me to use it for stuff like this. | ||

Yea, I honestly was not modivated at all to play scum again so soon after my last game >.< I was hoping for another fun game to sovle like PyP! But alas! I phoned in a lot of my effort and tried to sit back from the game as much as I felt comfortable. Prob why Kush and eventually Trfel sniffed me out without much doubt in their minds. Also the stuff with GB d2 was fairly bad imo. Though I actually think GB should have stuck with the claim, there was a real chance that Shining got lynched and given us one extra day with an RB. After he had reacted to Shining's CC with a vote there was no going back. I'll make a post with everyone's cards in a little bit. | ||

+ Show Spoiler [Method] + For those that care, I shuffle the cards while looking over that players filter. Since I wasn't very concerned about alignments I was moreso focused on roles and general reads on the player themselves. Therefor I'd say these cards reflect the personalities of the player that they put into their play for this game. It's not a read purely on your role, not a read on you personally, just what part of you that is being represented in the game. 1) Palmar + Show Spoiler [10 of Cups: Satiety] + ![]() This card represents the contradiction inherent in having too much happiness; eventually it will all seem fake, and having everything you want makes life boring, and will lead to unhappiness and discontent. This card represents the rich man (weather materially or spiritually) who has all he desires, and so feels as if an integral part of himself is missing. He has missed out on some part of life. This is also the stomachache one experiences after having eaten too much. One grows tired of having all that they want; their life is not truly complete. What someone thought they wanted more than anything in the world turns out to not be their true heart’s desire. And from this sense of incompletion can arise something new; a drive that can lead one to find what one is missing from their lives, and so return back to Kether and the Aces. In a reading, this card indicates that you might have too much; more than you know what to do with, and more than you are comfortable with. It asks you to re-examine your desire – are they really what you wanted? Are you truly content with what you have? Are you missing something? Kindof a weird card to me, maybe it makes more sense to Palmar? An attmept: Palmar was kinda playing separated from the game and handing his reads out without any attempt to put reason (explanation) behind them. Sorta like a King handing out his demands from an ivory tower. I kinda imagine Palmar sitting in his chair picking which reads he might share with the game secretly plotting his next steps, but exiled from the game before he got the change to really put forth all he knew. 2) Shapelog + Show Spoiler [The Emperor] + ![]() The Emperor himself is a bringer of justice, using his power to order the universe so that all get what they deserve, in a way paralleling the creative acts of God. The Emperor is also strong and confident, with a clear sense of identity that he expresses through his power and actions; he is the center of the universe. In a reading, this card asks you to examine the role of authority and the law in your life. Has the law been just to you? It also requests that you examine your own sense of identity and your power relationships with others, as well as what your legacy will be once you are gone. This card represents Law and Order... obv the Cop. I drew this card before Shape claimed, it along with the cards for GB and Rsoul are what made me think I didn't want to share these cards with the game. 3)Ticktock + Show Spoiler [5 of Wands: Strife] + ![]() Yep I drew a card for myself too, I needed to be impartial. Also why not see what the cards might hint at for my role in the game? In particular, the Five of Wands represents a form of chaos in the form of conflict and disagreement; the opposite in many ways of “order.” In a reading, the Five of Wands asks you to review your current situation with regards to opposing, negative relationships with others; are the causes of your frustrations the actions of others? Is there discord in your group of acquaintances or coworkers? How is competition playing a role in your life? The idea of competition here is the least negative; sometimes from competition and strife, stronger individuals emerge. But sometimes not. Fits pretty well imo. Both with my own modivation to push out what I needed to do to help my team win, and the fighting the eventual lynch that awaited me after GB's flip. I feel like I fought off the scumreads against me well enough, and even used it to my advantage in getting scott and Bre associated with me. 4) Tumblewood + Show Spoiler [Ace of Cups] + ![]() Just copying what I said in my last day. I actually told you all the legit meaning of the card and what my read of it was ^.^ The Ace of Cups represents the beginning of love, fertility and creativity. It is a card to inspire confidence and happiness. When it turns up a reading of an everyday nature it can indicate the start of a loving relationship (of either the romantic or friendship variety); it can represent the beginning of a project in which a great deal of loving energy is invested (rather like the beginning of angelpaths); or sometimes it can reveal conception - the beginning of a new life. This actually suggests Tumble is town, his first game on this site was as scum so the "new beginning" here would suggest his first town game 5) Breshke + Show Spoiler [Death] + ![]() Ah, everyone's fav Tarot card. It's not really about death though... In a reading, this card never (or at least, almost never) means actual, physical death. Rather, it asks you to examine transition or transformative stages in your life, and eras that might be ending. It asks you consider giving yourself a chance to be reborn, to examine imperfections in your life, and warns you of powerful forces out of your control headed your way Especially as the game drew close to an end it was clear that Bre's role was to end the game, it may also carry some significance to whatever caused him to dissapear. 6)nooniansoong + Show Spoiler [The Herophant] + ![]() The emphasis is very appropriate for the Hierophant, for he represents the bonds of the community that tie everyone together. He is responsible for the induction of others into society, and for the rituals that bind the community and make it one. He represents also the powerful force of formalized religion, such as the Catholic Church during the Middle Ages, with provided legitimacy, education, and unity. The Hierophant is also the gateway and key to acceptance; he is the spiritual leader who decides how a society should be, and controls all of the formalities, initiation, and education of others in the society. It's true that this card has a connection with God, but it's more to do with spiritual (divine/perfect) knowlege and the connotations with community. This is a really powerful and apt card for Kush. His play was very much so insightful beyond what was put into words and he helped bring town together for both of their successful lynches. 7) Trfel + Show Spoiler [8 of Cups: Indolence] + ![]() the Eight of Cups represents a more “grounded” aspect of the energy of cups, but instead of the degenerate weakness of Debauch, responds with a more intellectual weakness; a weakness of the mind as opposed to the spirit. In a reading, this card asks you to examine the role that surrender, loss of will, disrespect, and weariness have played in your life. It asks you to consider whether or not the time has come for you to move on and surrender; or maybe it encourages you not to do this. Have you been slothful? Lazy? Disrespectful? Are others looking down on you for this? Do you look down on others? No offense to Trfel, but I knew after seeing this card that we never needed to worry about him >.< I'd kinda rather let Trfel read into this however he wants to, I thought he played well overall but this card def fits with his play. It was good, but something was missing. Like I even thought for a min that maybe he would put things together on the final day when he voted no-lynch. Kinda like you just need to believe in yourself a bit more Trfel... idk something like that. 8) The Shining + Show Spoiler [Knight of Disks] + ![]() This is the outspoken, stubborn individual concerned with succeeding in the world. In the traditional “breadwinning” family, this card represents the breadwinner and Father Figure, who provides for his family and sustains it. In a reading, this card asks you to examine the roles that people with personality may play in your life. Do you know anyone who works hard, plans out their every move carefully, and only takes carefully-calculated risks? This card feels a little off to me and I'm still not really sure how to read it properly. I suppose the "stubborn individual concerned with succeeding in the world" fits well with the shot TS took, but other than that I'm not sure what significance there is here. Didn't suggest a role to me when I first got it, was quite surprised when I realized he was the Vig (which was when he was questioning shape d2) 9) Scott31337 + Show Spoiler [Queen of Swords] + ![]() The Queen of Swords is Perceptive, able to see to the heart of the matter quickly, and is Just. She is Swift and she is also Independent and an Individualist. She is Confident and Balanced, as well asGraceful and Concerned over the treatment of others. She is Beautiful and people are drawn to her for that as well as her Wisdom. She is Articulate and to the point, able to come up with Clever and Fair solutions to any problem put before her. She is the perfect Diplomat, and one of the vehicles through which the ideals of the Suit of Swords will be brought to Earth. She is very Knowledgeable in the ways of the the human mind. She can be Cruel and Superficial sometimes, as well as Unreliable and sometimes outright Deceitful. She is Focused and will do whatever it takes to bring Peace, Truth, Order, and Justice to the world. King Solomon of Judean fame was a Queen of Swords; an empath whose feelings for others were driven by inspiration from a higher plane; in his case, God. In a reading, this card asks you to examine the role that this personality may play in your life. Do you know anyone who acts as an intermediary between others? Who always comes up with compromises and fair solutions to conflict? Do you know any individualists who others gather around to admire both their beauty and intellect? Do you know anyone who seems to just be good at everything? I have no clue, Scott you get anything from this? I thought you were the Vig kus of this at first >.< 10) Eden1892 + Show Spoiler [6 of Disks: Success] + ![]() This card represents also a sort of Quiet Triumph; success can certainly be considered a triumph, but is rarely celebrated like a military victory would be. The kind of triumph this card represents is the more common form of triumph in the real world; that of living comfortably after hard work. In a reading, this card suggests that you examine the role of success, respect, justly earned reward, power, knowledge, and wealth in your life. It asks you to look at your life and think about why you have been successful (or not successful). It advises you to work hard to obtain your reward; lounging around won’t get you anywhere. Are you respected? Do you have any power? Knowledge? Another one I'm not really sure of. Makes me pretty glad Eden got Vig'd N1 though kus he might have been a force to be reckoned with based on his play D1 and what this card suggests. 11) Rsoultin + Show Spoiler [The Magus] + ![]() Aka The Magician Honestly I wonder if you guys need this one explained in detail, the magician is the master of his art. He knows all the tricks and will make you gap at his skill while he preforms them. In Tarot he represents one who has mastered everything. Definitly a fitting card for Rsoul and her ability to blend in (also fits perfectly with her role as Lucifer, lol, and the GF) + Show Spoiler + The Magus is an active manipulator, using his intelligence and knowledge to actively manipulate the world around him. The Magus’ chosen tool is the Wand, associating him with Fire – yet at the same time, he is also the epitome of the intellectual, and so is associated also with Air. In his function as the representative of the divine on Earth, he also represents the grounding of divine logic, and so is associated with Earth. In a reading, this card asks you to examine the role that activity, conscious manipulation, and words of wisdom play in your life. It suggests that you think about how messengers have influenced your life, and of how you influence the world around you and project an external image of yourself. Reversed, this card’s energies are blocked, hidden, or twisted somehow; the Magus in your life is hidden, or you do not hear their magic. Maybe you are unconsciously changing the world around you to a far greater extent than you mean to. 12GlowingBear + Show Spoiler [Art] + ![]() More Commonly known as Temperance In the Rider-Waite tradition, this idea of moderation comes to the forefront, as the card is called Temperance. The card shows an angel, one foot in and one foot out of the water, pouring liquid in between two vessels, balancing it out. The idea of balance then comes into play, but on a different level than seen in Adjustment; this is not the divine balance of the universe, but rather the need to have a stable equilibrium in one’s own being and existence. The Thoth art shows a two-headed figure – representing two parts of a personality in balance (reinforced by the lion and eagle) – mixing an alchemical brew. Alchemy is the perfect example of the kind of personal balance this card alludes to, and also has an element of crafting something, and of art – the very name of the card! In a reading, this card asks you to examine the role of self-regulation and inner balance in your life. It asks you to think about your relationship to the rest of the world, and to those you care about most. Is your life full? Are your relationships full? Pretty fitting for GB's RB role. It also represents his play pretty well this game. He was both chaotic and ordered in his posting somehow trying to balance out the chaos near EoD enough to get the lynch off him. It kinda worked once... 13) sicklucker + Show Spoiler [Queen of Disks] + ![]() This card represents the personality that arises from the Watery part of Earth; the passive, intuitive, emotional part of the practical and down-to-earth individual. She is a people-person, who enjoys life and the company of others. She is pleasant to be around, and works hard to get what she needs, and then does not hesitate in enjoying what she has. She has a great knowledge of the practical side of human emotions and feelings, and is able to and often willing to help people with their problems. In a reading, this card asks you to examine the role that people with this personality play in your life. Do you know anybody who seems stuck in his or her life, but does all they can to help others move forward? Anyone who longs of doing better things but seems stuck in a rut? Who others ignore and count as part of the background, yet depend on him or her absolutely? Another not easy to read card. I kinda feel it's fitting for SL though. He's kinda around to hang out, is usually pretty laid back in his approach to games. He'll make good points and do useful things, but on his own time when he feels like it. | ||

I enjoy it as a method of self-reflection. It's not so much what the cards predict/mean that's important, it's what I get out of the cards and it's reflection of my own thinking... if that makes sense. I feel like it should match up with my mafia playstyle pretty well since I tend to like my gut/intuitive reads and sometimes struggle to find ways to articulate what I'm reading. I feel like doing Tarot reads like this is actually somewhat helpful for doing that. However it is of course not very reliable and my own bias is super likely to influence the read, such as how I said your card suggested you were GF. It wasn't really a lie, but I was leaving out all the positives and deeper meaning behind it. And while I enjoy Tarot, I think I-ching is my favorite method of fortune telling/divination w/e. I-ching is more focused on changing one state into another which is both more true to life than the static Tarot card and also tends to suggests solutions. Like Tarot might suggest you are stuck in a poor state of mind with a card, I-ching would tell you your mind is lost/confused and is changing into a new outlook. The trade off is that I-ching is not very approachable. You throw coins (or sticks if your old school), make hexgrams, consult poetry, construct the hexagram change, review more poetry. Compared to Tarot with fancily drawn cards that are usually fully of symbology and meaning themselves so anyone can look at one and get some semblance of meaning. | ||
