Good morning my lovelies, time for another wonderful game of mafia!
If there was 7 buttons, each one a different colour of the rainbow, and you knew 1 blew up the world but didn't know which, but you had to click one, which would you click?
What sort of question is this? If I had to I would say red because ita my favorite colour
How much mafia experience do you have?
Several games, 1 game as mafia, the rest as town.
What's your preferred alignment?
100% town. Hated being mafia and I was terrible at it.
Who's in the mafia team?
Possibly Dolby and Punchy. The former wouldnt suprise me and I dont like the latter's behaviour. Unsure about the last one/two mafia.
What's your preferred pronoun?
He/Him, male pronouns

Also dunno if this is significant, but Chele skipped a question on the RQS and stated no reason why unlike Ness
Ftr, this has already been commented on extensively, but dropped after a period. The issue here is that it should have been clear at that point that myself and Punchy were not on the same team. The logic for going after me is honestly pretty bad, but I'd accept that since people have said that about me in their past RQS's, but pairing me with Punchy is just no. Chele skipping an RQS question is kinda meh to point, but non-AI
Also came back to this and Sensai was bizarrely confident in saying that it was me/Punchy in comparison to the rest of the game. Don't know how to take that
I didnt notice Farobi missing questions, just Chele. It doesnt concern me, its just something that ought to be brought up.

The fact that Farobi did miss those questions is telling though. Wether it was on purpose or not.
Overall just meh. I do find the second part of the merge weird to say after saying that it doesn't concern him, but I'm not going to take anything out of it
IRONY
In all honestly, I have so far cobsidering Ive just woke up. I hope that isnt an issue.
Meh
How can you say you didn't OMGUS when you're the only person Dolby suspects and yet you suspect him in return?
I actually like this post because I really agree with it, even though Punchy ended up being town
I don't see anything but a town alignment from Zendel. Nitpicking at grammar is a bad reason to suspect someone, especially if you don't know any rl circumstances.
This is just bad.
Zendal corrects grammer=lock town. I'd also like to note that it came literally four minutes after this
As far as I can remember Zendel does correct grammar mistakes frequently, that in itself is not alignment indicative.
Which I do agree with
Notable, this post was the first townread (third read overall) that Sensai has given out. Saying that Zendal is lock-town for trying to avoid grammer mistakes is just ugh. Like, it's so flawed that I don't even know how to explain how flawed it is.
Gonna treat Sensai's next post (#285) as two separate ones
@Ness @Dolby @Artzokhan
May I remind you I responded to the RQS at 7am, half asleep and skim read the thread. After reading again and seeing Punchy's actions, I dont see them as a compatable team in any way. Im more incluned to believe Dolby is town and Punchy is scum.
Apologies, on mobile but should be on my laptop within an hour.
There really isn't anything wrong with it. He caves, which I honestly don't view as alignment indicative, as anyone should recognize that the Punchy/me team was flawed in the first place. Though I do feel he should have recognized it at the time.
Its more of knowing and understanding Zendel's tone. Zendel stated in his RQS that he hates being scum and that he hates lying about his alignment. I dont see anything fake about the way about Zendel is playing this game. Thats a major factor for me.
One townread still. At least he has reasons now, but it's changed significantly. This is a significant departure from Sensai's previous reasoning (based on the grammer thing). While I can understand and probably agree that Znedal doesn't seem fake, why not just state it in your first read.
Moreover, the fact that Sensai has only one townread actually bothers me because in Kingmaker, Sensai started the game with a larger focus on who he thinks is town. So far (when I'm writing this), I believe that Sensai has only had one full on townlean (the one on me was dependent on Punchy being scum). While in Kingmaker, even before his inspection on Tom, Sensai was working harder to isolate town from scum, rather than just trying to point out who was scum (which largely seems to be agreeing with the direction the thread is going).
It was more of a first name that popped into my head thing as welll as based on previous games like Gwneroc Mafia. Probably sound like i'm bluffing but theres nothing else I can add that can justify why I thought of Dolby.
Also this punchy bs is beginning to piss me off. He's sounding more and more like Bianca and i'm not liking that.

*Generic mafia
Responding to why he thought me/Punchy was initially compatible in the first place. Non-AI. Still going after Punchy.
(skipped 4 or 5 posts that had no value)
i mean the night phase. eod is 3am for me.
I'm debating between Punchy, Glow and Dad for vote
This is new, like very new. Not the suspicion on Punchy of course, but Sensai has never mentioned Glow or Dad up until this point, and ultimately failed to provide reasoning. Don't like it
Would it not be possible for them though to try and get on the good side of as many people as possible while trying not to sound shady?
Lowkey shade against Farobi. Don't particularly like, but given the wagon against him yesterday, I'm not gonna fault you for it
Voting Punchy as it seems like the safest vote, g'night
At this point in time, a vote on Punchy was essentially worthless. Nobody was voting for him, and the Kat, Dad, and Glow wagons had multiple people on them. Really, from Sensai's perspective, Punchy was the safest vote to avoid any blame if he was maf. His lynch was supremely unlikely to happen at that point. Moreover, voting for Dad or Glow would have kept the wagon off of Kat, who Sensai was null on. Voting for Dad or Glow would have been safer, as it would have kept the wagon on his scumleans.
In addition, Sensai's play in Kingmaker was pretty different. So far, he's been non-commital on a lot of people, and I honestly find it odd that he only townreads Zendal so far. For Kingmaker in example, he was willing to defend people from wagon's that came out of nowhere
People seem to be pushing way too hard on Tina. I understand how she is feeling because this is me literally every mafia game I play and yet I still get stick for it. Never played with Tina before so idk her playstyle but her frustration screams town.

I'm doing work while reading this so forgive the posting, I'll make some substancial posts later on but rn, I have important things to do.
Came in, 12 hours into D1, with a reads list, with reasoning
Just a quick read, don't take any of this too seriously.
Townlean
- Zendel - Posts freely and is not afraid to ask questions. This is very unlike how he played in the the SU2 game where he was mafia.
- Dolby - In Caxnival it was very clear to me while in obvs that Dolby was mafia, especially during the Bianca x Vanessa viligante debate.
- Tina - Genuine frustration, never played with her before so unsure of her playstyle though others say she uses AtE, most recently in BOWT where she was mafia. Will be taken into account however for the time being, she seems town to me.
Null
- F11
- Bianca - I'm scum leaning her in every game from now on
- jacob
- glow
- Panda
- Cleb
Scumlean
- Tom - Very lurky and posts spontaniously, Like Tina, never had played with Tom before so idk his play style, his posts seem a little off so I wouldn't be suprised if he flipped scum.
- Trundle - I can never read him, his arrogance makes it hard to tell, no offence but my gut feeling tells me he is scum.
TOAD
Skeptical of the early third party claim but willing to give the benefit of the doubt. Unless Toad has some sort of trick up his sleeve, I believe him.
Need to look into
Just ask me anything you want about this
Heck, even his reasoning for townreading Zendal in Kingmaker was far better
I should probably clarify myself a bit more, Zendel's posts are the opposite of what I remember scum Zendel to be like; in SU2 mafia, Zendel was careful with what he posted and when he did, was awfully fake with his act. I don't see that with this game. However, unlike him, as you've said yourself your arrogance and attitude is what makes me scum lean you by gut instinct. It is peliminary so don't take this read to heart
Sensai relates to Zendal's meta (which shows a willingness to go back to past games and evaluate stuff). Whereas this game he just sounds "genuine"
Whereas in Zendal's ill-fated game. Actually since Zendal locked the thread I can't quote anything from there. I could obviously if I was willing to go to the effort but gtg. But the similarities are striking, including a similar reaction to the Cleb/Karen fight that game to me/Punchy
