Hi everyone! Just popping in, my preferred pronouns are she/her btw!

/in please

@Zeniba I didn't want you playing under the impression that I didn't know who you were as it could lead to me catching you as scum due to insider meta-knowledge you weren't aware that I had. For example, in your intro post you immediately claimed before catching up, which I didn't think an experien...

I originally wanted to address two points but Madge ninjad me and was much more eloquent about it than I ever could be. So that leaves only one: The host outing me with their waypoints did not feel fun. It was advertised from the beginning that cult-numbers would be published daily. One 'easy' way ...

Just want to address the criticism that you leveled at me personally: You sent me a PM saying nothing but "GG" and then didn't post for several hours after that? In my experience, "GG" is said by the loser of a game immediately before logging off/abandoning/forfeiting. Maybe I s...

This was a game. I didn't remember how the snide sniper had split up their investigate results. I never really caught up outside of a little bit of ISO skims of a couple players. I also was thinking that Seven was mafia. (Unrecruitable + scummy play). Negatives: Seven's coded message towards whoever...

This seems more like a video game thread but I recently played the board game Silver Amulet for the first time and it was very fun. I might try to find the board game series.

Even vaccinated, it's been weird to walk down the street and worry about people not wearing masks in addition to them not respecting personal boundaries.

I have thoughts for a certain someone but I'll save it for post-game.

This gamestate feels ridiculous in a number of ways.

Okay, according to the host I just get "scum" if it targets any Non-Town role, just like when it targets mafia. I think tss might have just not understood that. The role PM was not exactly clear. Ftr, I claimed immediately since I wanted to make sure that the results were all out there. Fr...

Snide Sniper- This read is based off the knowledge that snide sniper has experience playing mafia but not forum mafia. I interpret snide sniper's asking why Jimbob was being read as town as a townie sincerely trying to understand how things work here. The meta of town of Salem is so fast paced that...

Honestly I think Seven has sorta TMI'd me as unaligned with him.

Some of the above weirdness has me wondering if Seven/TSS is a thing. I could see a world where Seven puts TSS/Zenni up to claiming faction cop with a mafia result and then they're bussing each other. Seven doesn't usually bus but maybe he felt his position was sufficiently hopeless that he'd go fo...

I did ask, though. I'll see when I get a response.

My ability reports the faction (i.e. town, mafia, cult, or survivor) of the targeted player, I'm guessing with some exceptions like a godfather or a framer. Your predecessor interpreted your role quite differently. @Zenni I just know what I got. To paraphrase: First night result of somi town, secon...

My reads looks something like this:

Zenni
Suzaku
LaserGuy

jimbob

{somitomi
moody
Wam
Seven}

Seven seems like obviously not town.
The other three I think contain cult leader plus another mafia. My guess is that mafia have a tailor?

Jimbob and Boomfrog were both killed overnight. Also doesn't that exclude the possibility that there's just some amount of kill power floating around between the various neutrals and mafia? Like, when a town flips, and jimbob has also been relatively townie, my inclination is to believe that it's d...
