[FoL] Forum of Lies 24 - Night 3 (11/16) - Completed - The Unseen and the Warlock Win!

[Arete]

Anyways, I might as well follow suit here:

1. Jgoesgaming - townlean
2. WazzaAzza - scumlean but we shouldn’t worry about the King at the moment
3. AlexejheroYTB - null
4. Frostwolf103 - null
5. Vulgard - townread
6. Shurian - townread
7. SirDerpsAlot - townlean
8. PoisonedSquid - slight townlean
9. Marshal - slight scumlean
10. Katze - slight townlean
11. Arete
12. Possessed - slight scumlean
13. JaketheWolfie - null
14. Sam17z - null
15. Kai_5 - scumread
16. Luxy - every time I try to put him in a slot it feels wrong, send help

Possessed is a scumlean while Jake is null because Jake is unhelpful regardless of alignment

[Marshal]

Im gonna make 2 sections. “pocketing” and “shading”

POCKETING

@Arete

Also, I know we have some ToL people here but just in case you guys aren’t aware, claiming early in FoL is generally anti-BD, it’s the opposite of ToL

random thing with no reason arete decided to say to katze

@Arete

Also if you’re an invest and have a lead on someone, including an outright redcheck, you generally shouldn’t out it right away, you should push them for other reasons and see how everyone else reacts

more of it.

@Arete

Alright

Random Questioning Stage time

if you have played a game of forum mafia before, discuss how you’re going to apply lessons from your most recent completed game to this one (this includes if you did something well in that game, to be clear!)

if you have not played a game of forum mafia before, talk about how you intend to approach this game

Hey guys, my name is arete and i’m being helpful!

@Jane

In both Grande Idea and WoW:BfA I got mislynched, so if I am suspeced, resist more to being lynched.

I might be being a little selfish here, sorry.

@Arete

If you’re BD this isn’t selfish at all

Getting mislynched hurts your team and fighting against it is +EV

It’s okay my little jgoes. Daddy arete supports you.

@Arete

@katze

Popcorning the RQS over to you

Ask a question for the thread to answer (ideally game-related)

Here! i’m being helpful. Even though this post doesnt actually help anyone i look helpful.

@Arete

@WazzaAzza

Do you think it’s a Cult game or an Unseen game?

Look mom! Im asking questions. Even though this one acheives nothing, who cares? I look useful!

@Arete

For the benefit of the new players this means Finger of Suspicion, i.e. ‘I think it’s kind of sus’

Don’t worry newbies! Captain arete will save you all!

@Arete

That’s actually an interesting idea, have some townpoints for suggesting it

good one, sweetie!

[At this point, arete has some weird shade on jake, and then goes with this post]

@Arete

I really liked the wallpost you wrote for us in Mafia Academy, could you do something like that again here? It was actually really helpful for sorting you.

SHADING

@Arete

It gives us content to discuss that isn’t just ‘lol Office memes’ and that sort of thing

Not shading just a jab at my playstyle which kinda stings.

@Arete

Katze is clearly thinking a lot about his posts

I’m not 100 percent sure what to make of it but I’m making note of that fact for later

shade on katze, with a hypocritical reason

@Arete

Shurian is second poster and has no meaningful content

FoS on him for now for meta reasons

yes I’m shading you but I also suspect I’m right

shade on shuri for… “meta reasons” and low content… 115 posts into the game.

@Arete

Watch Luxy shadethrow me for clarifying that

shading luxy for potential shading

@Arete

Not going to lie I lowkey think Wazza as EK is plausible

more than 35 percent certainly, not sure if more than 50 percent odds or no

I kind of don’t want to focus on that, though, King is less of a threat with no double-vote and it’s not like you can get useful associations from the King

“king could be scum. meaningless numbers. Just ignore this”

@Arete

Hello Kai

You haven’t been your normal confident self and that makes me nervous

Can you help change that if you are in fact town

@Ami

also i have 15 posts that are mostly fluff from when i was slightly drunk

@Ami

how is that enough to say “he isn’t confident”

@Arete

I’m not saying you’re scum I’m saying that I can’t yet find you as town and I’ve gotten pretty decent at doing so

Is this a…shadepocket? I mean arete goes from “hmm kai isn’t acting like townkai” to “kai is best FM player <3”

[I’ve already adresses arete’s abysmal ISO on me, so not doing that agian]

@Ami

anyways i really dont like arete

@kaights you know what to do

@Arete

Are you OMGUSing me Kai

Kai: I don’t like arete.
Arete: well i shaded you(and the whole court but ) earlier so OMGUS it is

[Marshal]

@Arete

WazzaAzza - scumlean but we shouldn’t worry about the King at the moment

allow me to translate

“Once I run out of town to myslynch we can go for wazza”

[Luxy]

Tbf I haven’t liked Waz either all he has done was one LAMIST post

[Luxy]

Thank you for doing what I cannot

[Marshal]

I am null on waz.

But what you just did is explain your read.

what arete did is.

King might be scum.
Erm… Numbers
But lets ignore this.

[Arete]

@Marshal

meaningless numbers .

Okay I realize this is pretty much the least relevant thing in the entire post but the numbers in question are ‘more than the EK spawnrate, might or might not be more likely than not’

This is not relevant to anything but they were super legitimate numbers

[Shurian]

I dont like waz he made one lamist post

Im null on waz because i never seen him

[Luxy]

@Wazza

Look, I would love to be EK, like no joke. I’ve never been EK.

But life hates me

This

[Shurian]

I dont see the pocketing as that much of a plan to get everyone on their side.
Could be wrong, I see the logic there tho.

[Marshal]

i noticed the EK spawrate.

But all you said is

“Id give king higher than 35 but maybe near 50 percent chance” which gives… really nothing to anybody anywhere.

You just said “king bad. But let’s focus on others. Just remember king bad”

[Luxy]

That’s what pocketing is, Shurian

[Shurian]

Thats just Azza tho

Again he will be hooked from 4 dimensions away

[Luxy]

Yes I know he’s made one Lamist post and done nothing else

[Shurian]

I note the pocketing, but then I do it too, so I’m kinda not that receptive? I dunno

[Arete]

Yep

I prefer to focus on solving the alignment of players other than the king, since Kings don’t give any useful associations, so even though Wazza is hardpinging me due to not making any attempt at solving the game, I’m shelving him so that I can focus on the rest of the players in the game

[Shurian]

@Arete

do I need to quote examples of me doing this as town or can we agree that this is NAI

Frustrated townie?

Weeew

[Shurian]

@Arete

Wazza is hardpinging me due to not making any attempt at solving the game,

How the fish
Did you come to that pinging part
I just brushed him off tbh

[SirDerpsAlot]

okay night bois

[Marshal]

also i wanna compile a post of every time arete has pinged some nerd and asked a question.
