Embrace the hate. Let it flow through you.

Im getting it a little. At least The Torch hasnt come rushing in to Murder me because of my name

 

[Tevish Szat]

Like a game threat or a heavy hitter? Because i can think of a few people who should probably be taken care of before they monopolize and steer the game in theor favor. Im more an agent of chaos. Im not here for some master Plan

Game-state threat, the kind you confirmed you were when I asked. Town wincon needs that gone so unless you can ditch the status somehow that makes our endgames presently incompatible.

you assume the game will ever end? this is our lives. our children will take over our Roles.

Right now, if it helps, I feel that Tevish is a key role in either the town or mafia camp (I'm leaning more towards mafia to be honest). Why? Because of how he approaches his posts when talking about the game-state wrt to me mostly (and his most recent post towards you).

I don't care what the bystanders say. I may be taking an opposing stance, but that is only because everyone made it clear from the get go how they were going to treat me even after the fact of "confirming my name" (Tevish's stance and subsequent back-peddle of how I'm speaking as justification for how I'm being treated only highlights exactly the self-fulfilling prophecy issue I put forth to begin with).

At best, Tevish is town and dogmatic in his approach here. At worst, he's mafia and is subversive in his approach to me and you given his language use.

Give us some names, then, and offer us a specific proposal as to how those names are trying to steer the game and why we ought to care that they're doing so. It's your head on the block, and as much as you're trying to talk around it, your proposal here is akin to "Sure, I'm mafia, but shouldn't we go after cult first?" in a more traditional game. You need to at least off up an alternative. (I mean, doubt we buy it, but you can try.)

In semi-related news, although I can't actually vote, I've decided to vote nominally so that my positions are available for posterity. Thus, Vote: Storm

"They" treated you as a threat because your role is Wilson Fisk and Wilson Fisk is canonically a threat in-spiderverse. If you start reading people on the basis that they are (illogically) attempting to persecute you rather than pursuing their win conditions, all of your reads are going to be out to lunch.

I mean i have a reads list. You can look at that. And i will help you decipher it if you need help with that.

And since we're not gonna lynch Abs, i should probably Unvote so when day end comes i dont have my vote on a Bugle member.

those who are checking Freduardo's role PM everyday, did it change any? Or is it still the same?

nah this isn't the tea party, i'm sure we'll get pared down faster than that

Doubt it. I thought that too, but in SMM3 the Jackal was immortal

Despite the turmoil of Electro gripping the citizens of New York in fear, people still turned out in droves at the Ed Sullivan Theater to see this "Amazing Spider-Man" for themselves. Even those who couldn't make it out to the theater themselves tuned in on their TVs (provided they weren't unfortunate enough to be living in the areas without power). It's safe to say that this spectacular character who appeared more spider than man--without the aid of special effects, no less--was an instant sensation!

People just couldn't get enough of SPIDER-MAN!

As his first spectacular Live Recording TV special drew to a close, many of the people in attendance--from fans in the audience to newspaper reporters looking for a scoop and maybe even the odd mobster lurker around for the sake of curiosity--ambushed the colorful performer on his way from the stage to his dressing room...

And although he was in a hurry to get out of the spotlight so he could change and escape home (even telling them to see his agent), a few cries of "we love you" from the crowd got the better of him, and he couldn't help but stick around a little bit to answer some questions...



Spider-Man has entered the chat!

From now until the end of the Day, y'all may talk to the wall-crawling performer here in the Game Thread. Say what you like! Ask questions, make comments, whatever. He may even answer some of you if it suits him to do so...

[Spider-Man]

Hey everyone. Nice to meet you! Thanks for the warm welcome. I really am busy and have to get going soon though, so I'll only answer a couple of questions and then for the rest you'll have to reach out to my agent.

I appreciate all of you!
