Ah, Boomfrog pretending not to hold a grudge so I won't go after him like in Animal Kingdom, very sus.
But glad to see a more assertive side of you returning, with some points I have also contemplated.
Unvote

Hey, you can't blame me, Madge was the one making those decisions. And you can't blame her either as she is perfect.

As far as I can tell in terms of metareads, I'm the newest member here correct? It makes sense in my head to prod the biggest unknown in game, which happens to be me lol

Scummy is bad enough but self conscious I won't abide. Not bc I say that I'm not taking a starter gun vote seriously yet in my first post. It's like common procedure maybe but I gotta post something.
I was recently looking back so it's half bad memory and half what I've seen but I remember you from some games, some we played, one I modded, and you've had to replace me for inactivity at least once (just saw that in wizardry baby! my bad!). Moody for sure, ahippo for sure, I believe wam as well-
Honestly, same! It's been a long time so hard to know. I'm sure I'm missing some people that I'd feel dumb once reminded. I had an on and off lurking issue.
And yeah I more read "claiming not to vote until later in the day" from Teh Bubblez as a neutral behavior that's easy to read as scummy when you're actively looking for it(which to be fair is I guess the exact point of mafia as either faction) but I don't think it's sus all on its own.
I mean a few of us count as the same amount of new, I don't think you're getting prodded for being new.TehBubblez wrote: ↑Tue Jan 14, 2025 6:59 pm

Just FYI, since I did say the game was flavorful, I encourage everyone to make sure they've read at least the game summery and character summery for the character they've rolled. I linked character summaries from either the talesapedia or anselia wiki, both of which cover all games from the series in all your role PMs.
That said I know it's dense, this is a series with a long history, so feel free to ask me lore questions, either in thread or in your role PMs. I can't guarantee I'll answer all questions though (and please don't try "does this claim make sense for this character" questions, figuring out if something is a fake claim or building a fake claim is for you guys alone, including lore based rationales).
And I know at least one of the players is a series fan.

An elim I spearheaded because I had a strong scumread on a slot that was more gut read than my ego wanted to admit and I got into big thunderdomes with my target and thought I had them dead to rights as scum and I really wanted the dopamine hit of "winning" the 1v1 with them flipping scum

Nah I just wanted the reasoning since you said nothing to go with it. Randoming someone you haven't played with before is fine.

True wam, winning that game did prevent me from entering a death spiral, but that wasnt an egoflip on your elim, that was just me practicing what I preach and listening to dead townies who solved the game for me
If anything bessie was my desired egoflip in that game and I was wrong on her too LOL

Okay, just based on context clues, to "fry" is to vote for a player, upping the heat and seeing how they respond, yes? Makes sense, but I'll walk beside the wagon for now. I'm not jumping on yet.
