also i just read the wiki article on the book that the flavor is based on

bh have you read "wasteland of flint" by thomas harlan? from the description of "a fire upon the deep" it sounds like you would like wasteland if you like it.

I would lynch:

- snickers, for srs this time.
(1) complains about getting hit with rvs, seems to care way too much about one or two votes. Not necessarily scum but a yellow flag at least.
(2) more importantly - I want to lynch him for this post, and the ones that follow it:

Chairman, I'm curious what you think about MysteryMeat (MM)'s list. Specifically his town read on you


Similar impressions as me. He didn't include Snickers, who is the most active player so far. I would personally slot Snickers under slightly scummy just because he's taking some little things a bit too serious.


I think you should be more concerned with that he kept me off his list. It seems like you were but then you got distracted.

Meh look at my meta, I am the most misunderstood mafia player on tl after Bh. I do not go crazy like some people (2 people in this game want to mislead), My "seriousness" is that I am playing to keep stuff organized and clear.

Someone wanted to know my read on Slam.

Slam-bad town (throwing quick votes around and Some post above this one was weird)
StrongNBig-bad town (Throwing quick votes around and only having one post to look at)
Et-bad town (already is super confused with my posts so he hinks he is right and I am wrong)

Do not get offended if you are on that list. I have a small sample size of posts. This is also why I do not read anyone as scum yet. Way too few posts and usually you need to link posts to prior posts.


This and the follow-ups read to me like he's trying too hard to fit an image of what "TL townies play like". The emotion doesn't read as genuine to me, there's no reason for it. Instead it feels like he's trying to force an image.

A meat lynch would be okay with me atm, or at least preferable to no lynch. There's the thing et pointed out, plus I don't like that he called robik his "top town read" at a point when robik had made two posts - one a joke and one saying he was not reading the thread. I want to hear from meat - what motivated you to put robik as top?

But right now I'd rather lynch snickers.

I do not know what srs means or rvs. I do not understand your post. "Tl townies play like" you mean I am playing how i think Tl townies play like? I do not see the emotion in it either. Look at my meta if you want to know my style. It is different than people on here.

How has no one asked ET yet why he asked Chairman about MM's reads and no one else? That was what I thought was scummy. His question seems forced and not genuine. Even if I did not have "genuine" emotion that is not as bad as questions that are not "genuine". It seems like he just picked it out of the air.

"srs" serious
"rvs" random voting stage

what I mean is that when you complain about "bad townies", how you have to "trick people into listening to you", and how specific players in this game are "bad townies", I see it as emotional complaining about town. It seems like you are grinding a particular axe, but there's no reason for that yet in this game. So yeah, it seems to me that you're trying to play like you think tl townies play, because there's no good reason for you to be upset yet.

why have you not read the game? I literally refuse to believe you can be here posting but don't have time to read 3 pages, especially if you're posting "i'm here and have nothing to add". Here's something you can add - read snicker's filter and tell me whether you agree with my argument

I'm not sure on snickers at the moment. My initial read on him was classic angsty town but I see what you're getting at when you say that his emotion seems forced. However, I suspect that he is trying to bait people into getting mad at him? He talked about how he is trying to "trick" people into agreeing with him.

Overall I find it to be distracting, but I think it is foolish to lynch a talkative person D1 rather than a lurky person D1. At LYLO, I would rather have a chatty Snickers alive to judge a whole filter against, as opposed to someone who has just a few one-liners the whole game. I don't support a lynch of Snickers atm.


I thought it was odd that Chairman Ray had no problems with MM calling him town despite Chairman at the time having very little activity. At the time, Chairman had made 4 posts, in order being:

Show nested quote +
Let's not follow BH's advice this game ><


All of which is just null (esp. since it was 24h in the game).

The problem I'm having thinking through this is I'm not sure if MM looks bad for randomly calling Chairman town, or if Chairman looks bad for blindly accepting it. The reason why I'm fixating on this pair is because usually if you're playing with people you know, you focus on them since you know how they usually act/talk and have history to base your reads on. I find it very odd that they are hardly interacting despite Chairman saying that this would be "interesting" playing TL mafia with him/her for the first time.

It's possible they are scum together; some classic traits are here. Not much interaction between each other, some support shown for each other, but not taking firm, hardline stands. It seems a bit too obvious though; would MM just up and call his scumbuddy town, if they were scum? That seems too nooby to be scum move, but it's possible if he is new.

Overall, their whole exchange just seems off; it doesn't sound like two townies with a history to me. I was leaning for MM because of his last post and his high lurkiness, but I would be ok with lynching CR as well.


I like this post. I think in general the "blindly calling someone town" is worse than "blindly accepting a townread", every townie knows they're town and sometimes they might not think too critically about how they look to an outside observer.

also im not a fan of mm's most recent reason for calling cr town

ok so there's like 9 hours left. given time zone disparities it makes sense imo to start actually trying to consolidate on a lynch now.

I will lynch the following people, in order of preference:

1. Snickers
2. Chairman Ray
2. mysterymeat
3. Sinani
3. Poofter

I will not lynch the other four people in this game, even at the cost of a no-lynch.

Everyone should express multiple people they would be willing to consolidate on, so we can make sure we actually get a lynch today.

Robik, you said you are okay lynching anybody besides yourself today, and you also just said that lynching someone is better than nobody. Why don't you vote on the sinani or mm wagon? There isn't enough people on to start a wagon on tehpoofter.

Qft

Robik you are voting no lynch right now. If you don't get on an actual lynch I will make it my mission to destroy you

As for you ray there is only you voting sinani. It's not a "wagon".

Swap over to meat. No lynch is not a good outcome.

Hey slam sup

Ok so here's where I'm at

Robik being killed over et is a little weird, since et was much more active and organizey.

Why would robik die? IMO either cause he was pushing a scum lynch, or because someone thought the same as poof and tried to bluesnipe him. Either way, this points to poof. Keep it simple points at poof.

I still have the same read on snickers' emotions as I did yesterday. I'd still be okay with lynching him. But I think robick's case on poof needs much attention
