I'm sorry I didn't think I was being rude there

[Firebringer]

And if he doesn't? Send the wagon over the cliff and don't even look back

in the future please refrain from asking bad questions for the sake of asking them, especially when the answer is already obvious to anyone paying a sliver of attention

bro wtf lol. People are going to ask bad questions. That's part of the game you're just gonna have to live with

okay, should i just go back to saying "read the thread"? I can do that

[osuka]

It's very clearly a scumslip as she responds to somebody sheeping her as "playing with fire" when the title of this game characterizes the mafia as fire.

The more serious reason is [yadda yadda yadda]

I was asking cuz I dunno what you're saying when Towwl says he's joking in this post. Like, yeah, if it was after someone called him out then sure it could be backpedaling but this is in the same post. Jeez the Wheeze

any sort of plausible deniability was immediately pulverized as soon as "am I dense? do I not get the joke?" came up on the thread. it was obviously meant seriously, at least partially, so really whether or not that's the whole post or not doesn't even matter - none of it makes any sense and the push was pretty bad even by rvs standards

[osuka]

for future reference: if you're ever in that situation and you get called out like towwl did, the correct thing to do is just say "whoops sorry i misinterpreted the post" instead of trying to put spin on it. i would've brushed it off if not for the fact that they're trying to present it in a way that obviously doesn't line up with reality, and for absolutely zero good reason either

@mod: is 131 a "prod dodge" as defined in the rules?

we could've avoided this entire conversation if you had taken 20 seconds to iso that slot and immediately realized there's literally nothing else i couldve been talking about because there's only 5 posts

[osuka]

but hey, glad we talked

[osuka]

who else wants to set some towwls on fire

[Umlaut]

To answer the "why Merlyn" questions:

I recognize everyone but Meuh and Cook

VOTE: Meuh no one recognizes them, must mean something

This isn't a big deal but for some reason I can't express it seemed more "forced" than the other random votes, and also a bit like picking on the player you perceived as least experienced.

she does not know laughing crying emoji

VOTE: invis gatekeeping knowledge

Really dumb reason for a vote and looks like going through the motions of voting for things you think you ought to find suspect instead of things that actually are.

These reasons feel super forced but I don't really think it's necessarily in a scummy way

[osuka]

are we seriously saying 83 isnt a joke?

[Black]

Seems like one to me

Towel and RR probably town, there's scum in invis/umlaut.

The "joke" I'm making in 84 is me noticing the

actual

joke Ausuka made in 60, thinking it was made accidentally, and explaining it as my own joke. Ausuka paraphrases me in 86 as saying that her post was a joke,

which I did not even consider

, and I said as much in 87. I thought "the joke" only existed in 84. When she explained her joke to me by pointing out that I already explained it in 88, I said feel like a total asshole because not only did I steal somebody's joke, I didn't even think that the person I stole the joke from made the joke in the first place. It's rude.

Because of how categorically dumb this is I'd really rather not continue to deliberate on my blunder here as it makes my teeth hurt. I just was stupid and you can push me for it, but I'm going to try not to engage on this line of inquiry as I don't like to dwell on stupid things I've done.

The more serious reason is it's an unneeded early posturing comment to position oneself as the reasonable one in response to something unreasonable (Cook's large early wagon & self-vote). It's fairly distinct from the rest of the early game tomfoolery.

I'll still go into a little more detail here though. I found 60 to be analogous to this post by scum!Invisibility in my newbie game, which pinged me a bit early in the game but I never brought it up and that slot won in F3. Both posts have that similar "settle down guys" flavor and I didn't want to make the same mistake of letting a small early ping get away from me, especially when the ping is for similar reasons.

[osuka]

that's a pretty sad response. setting aside the fact that it makes little sense, the dumbest part of all this is "that's dumb so i'm not gonna talk about it, but you can push me on it if you want". i'm fighting urges to deathtunnel you d1 and that doesnt help.

the post you linked has zero content and nothing you can actually read into - nice confbias though. that's playstyle, which is nai, so really even if you had understood the situation correctly it still would've been a bad push
