yeah I'm pretty sure he doesn't have to do that each post. he's just fucking around, imo

why the indecisiveness Zippy?
I'm calling you Zippy because zippedpinhead is too long to type out

Could be coincidence, but those do border each other on the keypad.
I shouldn't have cursedthis is a fun game and it
zipped works too, if you care for variation
move: blue room
Godfather what do you think about the sister room idea? Do you think it's worth
and if you count them down, that would make for eight days with eight different rooms before it reverts back to the White room
Alrighty-righty, Zippy! Now as for the question.... I get that throwing around votes is fun but why are you doing it? Is it fun? or is it some kind of... Bait?
Is anybody bothered by the fact that the room colors are sitting next to a deceitful statue? And maybe even the hints are opposites?
Right now? It's Zipped and Stuart for how they've been doing the room stuff. I'm on Zipped for all his other odd posts though.
Somewhat, but if the fluff matters, and it does seem to, it would be pretty bastard to have it deliberately giving us the wrong info.
Did you also not read the OP?what statue?
An enormous Silver Statue welcomes the 24 invitees into the Mansion, sitting in the middle of the entrance hall.
The Statue is of a masked lady in a long dress, with her hands extended invitingly towards the front door. An inscription on its base reads "Apate, the personification of deceit."
i think that's just flavour and lampshading that mafia is a very decietful game. full of decietful people doing deceitey things with lots of decietinessness.
yeah yeah I found it. Read the fluff when the thread came up and haven't paid much attention to it since other than the room colors
of course, at this point in the game, all rabbit holes are valid, so dash down them and see what you find
I do lean that way, but I can't outright dismiss any fluff since the button descriptions seem to matter. That makes all fluff fair game, so there's merit to weemadarthur's observation.
I'm just going to assume the fluff is fluff. I see no reason to believe it's more until it shows itself as more.
If it's relevant my best guess is that even "good" rooms may have some other effect that isn't necessarily obvious. Like "the shield will rise" also means no lynch, but that seems...kind of a silly condition
I think there's a line we can draw to where fluff that relates to game mechanics is directly relevant but fluff that doesn't appear to have any direct correlation can be safetly ignored. But as I said, all rabbit holes are valid at this point of the game.
galaxy brain: there are no good choices in mafia
universe brain: even bad choices in mafia are good choices in mafia. depending on your point of view
Well duh, even if I don't want to lynch a townie on D1, chances are we will, and that gives us information. Still a somewhat positive outcome
Last time I played with bdubs I harassed him for like 2 days about making a readlist while he refused. Just supposed to be a meta joke since obviously this is a dumb time for them har har.
good I'm glad we agree that this D1 we don't have to argue over no lynching because that would just be tiring
...dammit i've named the beast now i've summoned it haven't i
Not gonna lie, would laugh so much.
We're not going to do that but man, that'd be some mafia for the history books.
Although i wasn't serious with that, i think there's something to Zipped's posts. Whether he's just scumming it up or if it has anything else behind it or not idk.
This makes some sense and i'm liking the idea of trying one of these possible sister rooms to see if we get any info out of it.
Anyway, i have no actual reads at all so far. Only a couple of things stand out. Stuart's col
I mentioned Orange before and i still like it. 'Muddying the voices' sounds bad. Unforeseen Consequences bad. It would also give us insight into what voices are, which would shed some light on a couple more rooms.

Mind mentioning what they are, for posterity's sake? Not expecting actual reads here, just basic commentary!
So purple warns against non-clear thinking, and orange will presumably flood the chat with some bullshit
Backs to a glass wall means that whoever's on the other side can see what you're doing in private, but if we're facing the glass wall then we can see what they do. Maybe there's a scum role that allows them to function behind the glass wall, and they have to
I'm guessing Blue can trigger a no lynch/ no night kill.
I'm more concerned about what rooms we'll be forced into come late-game than I am about what rooms are useful right this second. Grey might be useful later if someone's holding out on a role claim or something we need. Purple sounds like some kind of MyLo deal.
Mentioned it before but Dark would be good to get some people active or potentially get rid of inactive ones right away.
Green sounds like a max, and if Brazil is a crazy person, yellow could be some kind of "protected if your post count is this number"
Orange seems objectively bad for town, so the question is this: Should we move there and get rid of it now while mistakes can still happen, or hold off and just hope we don't end up in there?
On the room pairing deal, my guess is
Green Room - "The voices will be pacified." / Yellow Room - "The voices will also protect."
Pink Room - "All eyes will look across the glass wall." / Red Room - "Backs will be turned against the glass wall."
Dark Room - "Silence will be punished" / Orange Room - "Noise will muddle the voices."
Don't know about the others

Working on it. I'd prefer to keep Teal, Pink, and Red for mid game. If I had to hazard a guess, there's a role that causes someone to move to the other side of the glass wall and stay there. If we move to the pink room while they're there, we'll see what they're doing. If we move to red, they'll see any secret roles we have going on. So a game of box peek, I guess? And teal just seems too useful to waste now.

Sure. Was gonna mention that Stuart's initial push for rooms based on colors was not very helpful and that Zipped's posts are really weird and idk what to make of them.
Hmm, I hadn't thought about that. I just read it as the wall could shatter at any time.
That being said, it couldn't just be a scum role. It could be a Town role. Investigation rooms have those kind of windows.
That's a damn good point. There could be a secret room. A Neutral room?
I like how I didn't finish that sentence, then moved my point to the other part of my post and forgot that I never finished the first sentence, lmao.
I just sort of think if everyone's backs are pressed against the wall it's probably a good thing. Or at least an informative thing. I didn't really factor in the glass part of that riddle at all.
That's also true. If that's the case then eyes to wall would be beneficial to scum in that scenario.
