Strybing Arboretum in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco

This is a spoiler-free zone for now!

Welcome, Merlyn!

[Merlyn]

What an entrance by OMI! I'm loving this, may steal someday.

Won't lie, he is reading very town to me

[fferyllt]

This is shaping up to be a good game, I think.

I'm going to have trouble not making the flavor California-centric!

The European Chestnut tree reminds me a lot of the California Buckeye, but I think the Buckeye is very well situated to handle a warmer, drier climate, while the European Chestnut is being squeezed by highly adaptive non-native trees.

[Merlyn]

Nothing wrong with California centric! I'm from Chicago, and I'm learning a lot of things I find neat. I love the idea of planting native grasses and flowers (but I don't have a lawn lol)

[Merlyn]

True. One piece avatar = auto town imo.

I'm a One Piece fan, this seems legit to me.

[Merlyn]

I don't know how delta can think that was really a slip, I really don't. Like, he genuinely thinks Patch...asked his fellow scum to come talk to him in the scum PT? I almost want to say it's scummy to be jumping this but it also seems very delta lol.

I have a yard with a fair bit of lawn that I want to make more drought tolerant and better adapted to serve native birds and other critters. So, big project coming up this year!

[Merlyn]

Oh i didnt know, I thought it was also against the rules to not be a dick but I guess I was wrong

It's actually not! You have have to have thick skin to play mafia. I feel bad he had a bad time, but maybe it's for the best to he subbed out.

[fferyllt]

This game does have some clashy personalities going on. It's not to the point where I should ask for people to tone it down a little, but it's close.

[Merlyn]

So far, I think Delta and Overseer are town. This reminds me a lot actually of the time I briefly played with Delta, where two players with aggressive styles are crashing into each other like two big stags in a fight.

I'm also leaning towards OMI as town- his play style is so strangely sincere. ('I propose we form a team...'), I wonder if I need to try and dig up an OMI scum game before I say that though.

I found spartans play NAI. I think I need to wait to see with Mala here.

What to think about Black? I've read quite a few of her games here now but never gotten the chance to play with her. I was only confident of her alignment once, when she was town- there was just something about it that screamed frustration that others weren't getting the right solution. She's still super smooth here, but then she hasn't been put into a situation where that feeling would come out. If I had to pick rn- ugh. Scummmm?

Yeah, I could see it getting there but at least as a spectator I haven't seen anything that's a personal attack so far. I have seen worse from people than what overseer said that set Spartan off if I'm honest lol

[Merlyn]

EBWOP: Well, actually I did from Spartan but hey, he's gone!

[fferyllt]

Welcome, Black!

[Merlyn]

Woof! What a bummer- I feel lucky my first game stopped getting so heated after that first clash. Hopefully things will cool down now what with your mod warning and a popular player leaving. Sorry I can't help with replacing in!

[Black]

Hey ~

Just wanted to apologize again for how this played out. I found myself getting upset and annoyed with things that I normally would just brush off. I think I overloaded myself with games/Team Mafia and it has been taking it's toll on my mental health. I need to work on controlling my emotions better in times of stress like this

Thanks again for your understanding and allowing me to still hang out here. I plan on apologizing to the players in post game as well

[fferyllt]

No worries, black.

Like I said, I've been there!

I'm currently on a playing mafia hiatus because I needed some decompression time.

[Merlyn]

Hi Black! I don't think you need to apologize for anything. You were in a position where something had to change and you made a change, that's all! Mental health is more important that finishing a game, that's all there is to it.

Soooo....any chance you're allowed to tell me what alignment your slot is?

[Merlyn]

spartan and delta, working together! Who would have thought it?? I'm really interested to see if this plan they cooked up is going to have benefit.

[Merlyn]

sigh, I mean overseer.

Thank you <3

Soooo....any chance you're allowed to tell me what alignment your slot is?

Sure. I was either Town or Mafia

excellent, those are my first and second choices!

UNVOTE: Inutile

Literally no reason for anyone that is town to be so adamant about someone's alignment D1.

Masons?

Exactly what a serial killer would say!
