Hey pals, it's me- FACEBONES
I wish I was high, but alas I have to go to work and deal with people shortly, eugh.
In any case, I figured it'd be rude if I didn't drop in and say hello while I'm on my break

So uh, yeah, hello and stuff. Hope everyone's having a good day/night

[Facebones]

And your posts in our hood are pretty scummy.

Can you please elaborate more on this?

[Facebones]

I can paraphrase the whole hood but its already 4 pages, 3 of which are me

Sounds about right, haha. Thank you for your input.
Would like to also hear from Molly also, getting to learn different perspectives is helpful.

There seems to be a concerted effort to dodge and deflect from mollie and IV and while that's usually too easy to be the solution I'm taking the occams razor approach of that mollie is trying to defend a teammate.

I kinda get it? I mean I have no idea what 48 was about either. What is there to like about this reaction from IV? It doesn't add anything of value and comes across more as dazed and confused. I just assumed Molly was joking

People do do weird shit on D1 to garner reactions, it gets the people going

[Facebones]

Maybe I am having a ridiculous expectation of your townplay, but it seems to me right about now

town!you would be worried about town!eliminations at this point

Worried about town!eliminations at this point?
This point is still VERY early on D1.
They should be trying to class people as either town or mafia

How can they be worried about town!elims if they don't know who's town?

[Facebones]

I have a thought

I don't quite understand how you got from

Wright and Justice vs FM feels like SvS ironically to me

to

Obviously if their hood claim is true, which seems a given, then it can really only be TvS

Can you explain again being less verbose this time please?

[Facebones]

When you say FM you do mean pirate molly and not the crafty flea magician, right?
Otherwise I have grossly misunderstood what you were saying and would have to assume you've indulged in some serious drugs of the psychadelic nature and

beg

hope

insist you send some to my PO box

[Facebones]

Thank you for clearing that up.
I have the same feeling- something is the matter with that hood
Would love for Molly to elaborate

[Facebones]

Hmm

FaceBone I have two requests for when you catch up:

1) What's your read on T3 (if you got one)
2) What's your take on Mollie trying to branch out from the interactions with Wright?

Bonus) Does it hurt your soul knowing your name abbreviated is FB such as Facebook? Do you ever stuff your voodoo head in a textbook to get along with that accursed social platform?

1) I don't know what to make of 373 from T3 exactly, for me Kobas point about a high post count being their town meta could also come from scum!koba. Those self-obvservations (look at me, I'm town because I'm doing this, which I've done in previous games where I was town) from a player of Koba's calibre could easily be fabricated. Why is unprovoked self-meta a towny trait? I might be wrong, but to me it feels more like a paranoid scum trait

I do like how T3 was putting pressure on IV and asking him questions with regards to the vote on WJ in order to help understand IV's thought process to better categorise him, and I agree with his sentiments that people should probably ignore the WJ/Molly for a bit.
He's already slightly touched on Alice, but am curious to hear why he thinks Andre/Flea is possible scum?

My read on him is a slight townlean for now


2) I think Molly trying to branch out from their Wright interactions is the right move for them to make, it's so easy to get caught up in trivial shit and it absolutely alters your perspective of the game going forwards, especially this early. Granted, it might not be trivial - only they know what's happening in their hood - but there are 7 other players to worry about, and if you spend all your time and effort focussing on only one slot you're liable to miss certain things others may have done/said


Bonus) I break down in tears every time I realise the similarities between my name and Facebook. In order to help me forget I hit the bottle hard and pray to the dark lord and saviour which seems to be working alright for now bar the shocking hangover I'm left to suffer through the next day. Inevitably down the line someone always notices and points it out again. It's a vicious cycle. Thanks for bringing that up

[Facebones]

FB why are you not talking to IV in your hood?

Facebones - you were already asked before, but why havent you used your hood to communicate with IV?

I've been communicating with him, albeit rather cautiously. It's not like I've been flat out ignoring him or anything. The opening few posts of the hood was a straight up scumfession from IV who had been allegedly suffering from a guilty conscience and it made me mad paranoid. I felt like I had to pick my words carefully/not get into detail because it might make it's way into the maf PT which would only aid their cause

Then I think we talked about Thanksgiving for a coupla posts, I jotted down about how I was townreading GoldenHolden and had a sook about how T3's reputation for being a player of few words and quite vague makes him unhelpful as town in my view (both of which IV had nothing to say about, just encouraged me to keep posting so he could get a better read on me)

Then some maths about why the likelihood of me being mafia increases if Wright v Molly is TvT followed by an apology

[Facebones]

Thoughts from Boneyface:
This too and fro between W&J/Molly is starting to become tedious. It's distracting me now and would be greatly appreciated if they stopped talking to each other/about each other for ~48 hours

GoldenHolden is probably my highest townread, he's answered every question asked of him, is making logical reads while explaining them and dumbs it down for simpletons like myself to understand without being snarky. Does seem to be showing intent to solve

I'm pretty sure IV was just either just taking the piss or doing a reaction test thing in our hood when he admitted to being mafia and junk in the first 3 posts. That plus putting himself on E-1 on D1 and the frustration has him in the town pile for now

My thoughts on T3 hasn't really changed much since 466

Very curious to hear Alice and Andres thoughts, they're both at null for me

[Facebones]

i'm prob not going to post much anyways for the next 24 hours anyways.

Are you feeling okay? :^P

[Facebones]

Flea, you truly are a king among us mere peasants.

Can both of you just shut the fuck up about each other? One of you says something, the other feels the need to reply, the first feels the need to reply to that
Just imagine like the other person doesn't exist. Don't compare what you've done to what the others done in order to try and incriminate.
The game needs some room to breathe

I'd suggest not even looking at the hood PT, you guys obviously don't get along and it'd be exhausting for all parties involved

[Facebones]

T3, going back a coupla hundred posts to

Not anymore. Koba’s point about how they are only high post count when town is true and even if that is untrue, that kind of observation often comes from town.

Then may I ask who are your suspects right now?

I think you said IV long ago but my reading comprehension is shut rn

I may pass out soo

Just IV. I think the other scum is in Alice/Flea and maybe Andres if I'm wrong.

Why did you view Flea otherwise possibly Andre as the second scum?
Is this still the case?

POE.
No.

Mollie
Wj
Holden
Facebones
Flea
IV/Andres
Alice

I'm assuming this means Flea is no longer a part of your POE then?
What changed your mind on faer slot?
Also, what was the thought process behind unvoting IV and placing it on Alice instead?
IV seems to be the only person you've had reasons for thinking is scummy besides "POE"

[Facebones]

IV is pushed to the brink, reveals who their Neighbor is, and then all of a sudden you back away (despite the detailed, rather compelling case from GH I might add that you never up to that point actually went back over, and after you confidently declare them Scum based on meta and their self-sabotage) to push on a slot that could clearly reveal who the last Neighbor potentially is (and since you’ve already revealed who your Neighbor is in piratemollie, there’s really not that many choices left).

Now I’m going to go finish reading, so maybe I’ll change my mind. And yeah, I can’t say that I think Holden is Scummy individually actually. They have a straightforward way of looking at the game and again, seem mighty competent. But it’s miraculous that IV got so close to the brink, revealed who their Neighbor was, and all of a sudden the votes there disappear as does the case. I need to read through the progression obviously, but I’m intrigued. This game is a very interesting read actually. I have a feeling the Scum Team is playing at a high level.

Thank you for bringing that up. It is sorta strange how quickly everything disipated after IV revealed his hood with me. The wagon which grew and suddenly disappeared on IV consisted of WJ, T3 and GoldenHolden, right?
And now T3 is voting Alice due to POE and agreeing with WJ's read?
It seems a bit sheepy and I'm not sure what to make of it.

Do you think it's possible that IV is scum here?
If IV was town, would scum let them off the hook so quickly after getting them to turn suicidal and being one vote away from hammer?

You might've been asked before, I dunno- what do you think about IV claiming to be in a hood with you? Do you think he was trying to fish for the FN?

[Facebones]

I really would like to be Town just once, I’ve forgotten what it’s like

People who have played with IV before-
When he is town, does he often make strange jokes about being scummy like this one?

[Facebones]

Eery similarities to that mini normal game we played when I was being wagoned alongside Geraintm

@Facebones did you say anything in hood chat before IV claimed a hood with andres?

I did not. However I hadn't been online for a while and didn't know the game was underway, I think I got to the hood chat ~12 hours late?

[Facebones]

I had the early night off at work, have the next 2 days off and am partially intoxicated. I only read half the question, apologies. I thought it asked "Did you say anything in your hood before IV claimed to be mafia?"

The answer is still no. IV asked Andre to check the hood before I had said anything.

[Facebones]

FLEA WAS IN THAT GAME TOO
HOLY SHIT
Hope you feel better soon, pal

P.S. you're the coolest faery I know

[Facebones]

...goddamn it, Molly.

[Facebones]

If Molly was scum, would they really be willing to put themselves in the headlights so blatantly?
It does come across to me as a genuinely frustrated towny, but she might just be a good actress

Another possibility is IV hammered his team mate for the towny cred once Alice got to E-1 and he realised my elim wasn't happening

[Facebones]

Good point, I'll shut up

[Facebones]

Flea, who are you thinking about as the possible second scum?

[Facebones]

Why does no one ever think I'm towny?
This is a bunch of bullshit, yo

[Facebones]

Alice, Molly, Mx. Slick and I were the people who were off the Alice wagon.
At this point in time I believe WJ and Molly's slot are town
Which leaves Mx. Slick and myself
POE says it has to be Mx. Slick

IF SCUM DID BUS
I'm suspicious of T3 (I've asked him a couple of questions and he's given me nothing answers and I'm not a fan of the "best to try to solve around him" logic), although he was the second to vote Alice, he just hasn't been willing to cooperate I guess? Everyone else seems to think he's town though, and being second on the wagon is kind of hard to ignore so I'll say he's town for now

I'm about 80% sure IV is town at this point, but I keep getting a weird naggling feeling about how both him and Alice felt the need to treat the hood PT as a confessional. Town for now

Which leaves Flea. I've only played with faem twice, maybe three times? Both times fae were town, and I've no idea how fae play as scum. I don't like how late fae were on the Alice wagon.

My POE says it's between Mx. Slick and Flea
Them be my thoughts

Say they're shallow and don't come across as genuine if you must.

As for

Also, do you have an opinion of who it is? You haven't voted yet this phase. Which also goes along with how it feels like you're coasting and seeing what others think. ur read on..... i forget who

felt like "Hey this might be scummy it might not, what do you all think?" which i do all the time as scum

I just want to see the thought process of other people in order to try and read them a bit better because right now it's kinda difficult

[Facebones]

Bullshit, screw you guys
I'm not mafia

Mx. Slick is mafia.! Or Flea is mafia...
Otherwise maybe T3?

VOTE: Mx. Slick[/]

[Facebones]

EBWOP

VOTE: Mx. Slick

[Facebones]

Molly/MT isn't scum because if she was, she wouldn't try to incriminate Wright so much (I assume they've played together before?) so early. Even if they've not played before, she saw how it was going to go down and didn't shy away, but dug her heels in.
I don't think scum!Molly would've gone through all that effort and drawn that much attention to herself

I was a bit suspicious of WJ and thought it would be right in their nature as scum to bus their partner, but IV sort've touched on that and WJ's reaction to it made me change my mind

In hindsight, it makes no sense that scum WJ provided an alternate wagon to town!me yesterday and ultimately get her scum buddy elimmed, even more so seeing Alice wasn't on anyone elses radar
Why would WJ do that if scum with Alice?
That does not make sense
I might not agree with some of the ways they've gone about their game, but it did come across as genuine frustration including all the times WJ told Molly to look elsewhere

So that's one TvT hood done from my point of view

We all know how Andre/Alice turned out

IV I've been mad suspicious of ever since the claim, and questioned his alliance several times in our special room. Since that claim, he's been cool, calm, collected, is going into a lot of things with an open mind, trying to view all aspects of the game and see what pieces fit where and attempting to solve this puzzle
The mathematics says the chances of IV being mafia is 33%
Taking into consideration the ways he's gone about playing the game I'd say it's even less

Which leaves us with Flea, T3 and Mx. Slick as the last hood and the FN

On the first and second page, T3 and Mx. Slick's interactions were strange for me, and the way Mx. Slick was questioning WJ about T3 lead me to believe they were the final hood, meaning Flea was the FN

I asked Mx. Slick a couple of questions, he seemed to be more than willing to answer, explain and elaborate
I asked T3 a couple of questions, he did not seem to willing to explain and elaborate

Then the votes happened and Alice turned scum, and that's what's conflicting me the most right now

Mx. Slick, the person who I thought was the most towny out of the players remaining, was not voting for scum
T3, the person who I thought was the scummiest was 2nd in line to vote Alice
The person who I thought was FN (Flea) hopped on the wagon once it had started gaining momentum, and voted Alice with this

VOTE: AliceK

Get yo ass in here and give the promised content. Longer you wait the more I expect my mind to be blown.

Which is pinging the hell outta me

[Facebones]

There was no follow up to this post by FB.

There was no follow up because I don't think anyone answered my question?
I'm sure people read it, but they just left it sitting there, not touching it with a fifty foot pole.
In any case, have pretty much made up my mind on IV being town

Hmm

Facebones would you face me in a duel?

Pistols at dawn.
Pepper your angus, buckeroo.

[Facebones]

Hooray, pagetop for Facebones

[Facebones]

I do think it a bit suspicious how Mx. Slick hasn't even looked at any other slot post flip
He was convinced the scum team pre-flip was Alice and myself (towards the end of the day, after he figured out IV wasn't going to be as easily incriminated as he would've hoped and was finished with his WJ/Molly TvS bullshit)

I was saved by the skin of my teeth thanks to Koba (first round on me next time we're at the pub)

Then D2 started, and I was about to give up until IV convinced me to try and get my thoughts out in the game thread instead of admitting defeat and giving up, which I like to believe I did. I tried my best to explain myself so people can see where I'm coming from, and Mx. Slick was not willing to view anything I said from a towny perspective, instead trying to cast shade upon me and and share some rather ridiculous, skewed notions about some sort of plan I've concocted to win as mafia on the second game day?

It's inciting paranoia around my slot, and I don't think it's being done in good faith.

[Facebones]

They* were convinced

Sorry mate

[Facebones]

Fuck my arse and my mouth and my tits

[Facebones]

Hooray, happy ending for town
GG everyone, WP WP

[Facebones]

Sorry to bother you, boss
Any chance of releasing those PT's?
