[katze]

@Marshal

okay so here’s where im at.

i have the worlds stupidest tinfoil and it might just be right. it all has to do with this

:^)

Now katze has used :^) 3 times.

/vote Marshal

most posts so most interactions :^)

Im not sold on your lynch and believe katze’s hits scum and fullclears me

and when i flip town whats your excuse gonna be :^)

lets see if im tonights nightkill :^)

Now from what i can tell katze hasn’t used “:^)” in past games.
So the question begs. what does it mean and where did they learn it.

Let’s begin with the latter.

:^) has only been used once this game by someone who is a non-katze. This person? Mist1422 . Did katze start using this from scumchat?

Now for what :^) means. I think :^) is a subconcious signal for being disingenuine. Their first post containing it is NAI but gives insight into the meaning. It is used in the context of a joke vote based of something someone said. Im going to conflate it with a light chuckle.

/vote marshal
more posts more interactions. hehe

Now lets fit in the other posts with :^).

and when i flip town what’s your excuse gonna be. hehe.

lets see if im tonight’s nightkill. hehe.

Those are obvious suspicios statments when you plug in the true meaning.

Is this bullshit or genius? that is up for interpertation

it has brought us this

[katze]

this is like half of why i use :^) now

[Marshal]

same here :^)

[Vulgard]

@Chloe

Tbh, I kind of wish a lot of people here would cut with their non-game-related posts. It just clogs the thread and makes it harder to read.

one day i will have a game where people don’t try to defend themselves by claiming self-resolving or other bullshit “MAFIA CANT HAVE!!!”
it’s so exhausting to argue the same point every time
your claim doesn’t clear you
unless you’re literally an IC

yes sentence

In Mountainous 15er (I wasn’t in this one, but I was hosting this one), the village didn’t get off to a great start early, basically just mislynching LHFy players D1 and D2, but on D3 (I think? could be D4) they correctly reevaluated noticed that Mist just literally wasn’t doing anything and managed to correctly lynch him, and shortly afterwards noticed that Italy was likewise not doing anything. They correctly cleared a few villagers based on their pushes on and interactions with the flipped wolves, and, while they miscleared Tan initially based on her acting in a solvey manner which people viewed as villagery, once they reached LyLo Dat and katze were able to find each other as villagers (Dat was already a strong village read for many players as he had replaced in for an obvious newbtown player) and correctly lynch the wolf. It did help that the wolf team included 2/3 wolves who effectively weren’t playing, and the wolves made several suboptimal kills such as nightkilling the person who was harddefending both of them and unlikely to reevaluate in order to create WifoM.

In the Cop13er (I was a player in this one) we … also got off to a bad start with two early mislynches and the N1 nightkill hitting the Cop, on D3 we managed to have W/V wagons that randed to a wolf more out of apathy then out of anything else, and after the first wolf lynch we were able to clear a bunch of players based on his spew, create a correct 3 person PoE that contained both remaining wolves, and identify two players in said PoE as never W/W which allowed us to guarantee a wolf lynch rather than risking sending it to 5p LyLo at which point one of the villagers less convinced of the PoE would likely have snapvoted.

[Vulgard]

also the “i didn’t have time / i wasn’t in the thread” defense
just try to use something else pls

[Jane]

What if you’re a confirmed neutral fruit vendor but people still think you’re scum?

[Arete]

no Mist also self-hammered but he was a wolf

[Marshal]

@Arete

n D3 we managed to have W/V wagons that randed to a wolf more out of apathy then out of anything else

well no

this was a deliberate strategy that would have worked if wolves submitted a NK
