Bellossom, Bubbles, and @Hally. doing a little flower dance. travel agent who doesn't work on commission. knows she's pretty but loves being reminded. tries to maintain a vegetable garden but isn't very good at it.
I'm going to apologize for this one in advance but I hope you'll all humor me for a little while. This is a champs level game after all and I can't help but try and post in a way to properly honor the occasion. Who knows when I'll be back in this situation again.
I don't think it's a secret for most of you that my track record in reading Hally has been rather … well … awful thus far in our games. I did have one specific game where I recognized Hally was a villager and confidently (and happily!) let the world know. They flipped wolf. After our Syndicate game together and then Anni (both of which saw me find Hally's eod wolfy and press there) I wanted to make a concentrated effort to finally read that slot correctly.
I spent some time today combing through recent-ish games this year of Hally's. The wolf game on the Org website, the Vig game over on the Syndicate one, and all sorts of mashes/smaller games through MU as well. Rocks fall, Anni, Homestuck, CoV, etc. You get the picture. All in all there were 16 different games I pulled isos from. I then went and ran through the isos extracting all the day one posts from the first half of the day, labeled them as W or V, and ran them through a bit of a homemade database that would do a few different things for me. One of the things was to make a word cloud which would count the number of times each word was used in these isos and make the word larger the more frequently it was used. For example:
Anyways, I separated the wolf isos from the villa isos and then removed things like articles (a, the, in, an, etc) as well as player names as those aren't really super relevant to our investigation and cross referenced them to see if anything word usage stood out as alignment indicative in the top 10 most common words. While there were small word choices favored it didn't seem super significant. What WAS significant were two other things:
One: While specific word choices weren't very telling I did notice a definitely trend of elegance in the wolf isos. The words may change but the idea remained the same. In wolf ISOs Hally had a habit of using larger, more elegant words whereas in the villa ISOs Hally just talked more casually. I'll call these Posts Exceedingly Elegant as we continue.
Two: Villager isos were much more full of observational posts rather than inquisitive ones. The wolf iso was full of open ended questions requesting elaboration. Not just directly to a specific player but also towards the thread at large asking if it saw what Hally was seeing. Meanwhile the villager iso was full of more pointed statement. It was telling the thread what Hally was seeing and making sure everyone understood. The village iso had a higher frequency – by a significant margin – of Posts Of Observation.
Again, I really want to get this right so I didn't stop there. Science isn't science until you write it down after all. I went ahead and charted the percentage of posts as a villager and as a wolf for both posts containing an elegant word and posts making observations. It's a bit crude but here's the quick jot down I made to visualize it:
So I wanted to see how this one was shaping up. Remember, these were all taken from the first half of day one isos which we've made it past here. I went ahead and ran through Hally's iso from this game, plotted the elegance and observational percentages on the chart, and ran the following equation to try and determine the exact percentage chance Hally has at being a wolf:
(Posts Exceedingly Elegant as a wolf)(Posts Exceedingly Elegant here) + (Posts of Observation as a villager)(Posts of Observation here) = the mathematical chance of Hally being a villager here (do 1-this for wolf obv).
Which looks something like this:
(Posts Exceedingly Elegant as a wolf)(Posts Exceedingly Elegant here) + (Posts of Observation as a villager)(Posts of Observation here)

Affirmative Action Sucks has been permanently banned for a history of severe offsite statements that don’t comport with MU’s values, particularly our zero tolerance for bigotry. It’s the assessment of the mod team that their chosen username, avatar, and few posts so far in combination with their history indicates intent to engage with our community in a harmful way.
Addendum: The above account was found to be an alt of the existing account GeneralWu. He and his associated accounts have also been permanently banned.
Generico AKA Wade Winston Wilson has been banned for one month for recurring rule-breaking behavior, most notably a pattern of toxicity and antagonistic behavior that has continued despite repeated warnings.

lucy has been sign-up banned for 1 month. She recently asked for a new mechanic to be added while a player in a game where the mechanic would benefit her. This was in spite of moderator instructions telling her this wouldn't happen.
A lot of people are confused about this, so here's some clarification.
At the start of the game (after receiving a wolf role PM, but before the start of D1) lucy asked Arapocalypse, the game host, if a factional fake poison could be added to the setup. Arapocalypse said no, and told lucy she would talk to Makaze later about it, but it still wouldn't be in the game in question.
lucy then asked Makaze to add factional fake poison to Modbot directly. Makaze implemented this, thinking that Lucy was a host of the ongoing game. Arapocalypse told the wolfteam to not submit fake poisons, but the changes broke some other elements of poison in Modbot - if the poison target was changed, all targets were still posted as poisoned at the start of the next day.
To sum it up, lucy asked for mechanical changes to be made that affected an ongoing game and that would benefit her team, and which were implemented and caused problems.

FrostburnPhoenix has been sign-up banned for 2 weeks for gamethrowing, as well as privately messaging another player to accuse them of engaging in OGI. If you believe another player is breaking our rules on OGI, or any of our rules for that matter, the best course of action is to report it to the moderation team.

robyn/lucy has been banned for 3 months for attempting to have a two-sided conversation about an ongoing game outside of the game thread! This is following many previous repeated and extensive instructions to cease dming people regarding other ongoing games; refraining from unsolicited contacting people regarding ongoing games is part of the social contract in playing mafia, which we do require people to adhere to on Mafia Universe!
Message a ghost at Arapocalypse#0834!
[9:07 AM] boq, bbt's boss: Be Boq

[9:08 AM] boq, bbt's boss: Grab a random mug. Enjoy your coffee. Notice that it says "principal's mug" on it
Alice Liddell has been banned from Mafia Universe for six months for a pattern of recurring toxic behavior despite repeated moderator intervention. It's not acceptable to be toxic toward other players even if you dislike what they are saying or they are toxic towards you; while context is considered when we assess the seriousness of behavior, having an issue with someone else's behavior isn't a free pass to cross the line yourself.
Rem has been banned for 1 month for mocking and antagonizing another user over their mental health issues in a recent game. While it is within bounds to accuse someone of faking emotional displays in a game, there’s no reason for that to cross into mocking the person and needling them further. That sort of behavior doesn’t belong on MU.

The game this occurred relating to is over, so here are some further details:
robyn messaged a moderator in a non-moderation-related capacity and asked if they were in any ongoing games. On receiving a response of "no", they asked for the moderator's thoughts on a block of text that they had posted in an ongoing game, without telling the moderator where the text was from. They proceeded to ask if it read like a lie.
Given the clearly and unambiguously unacceptable nature of this behavior, robyn's history of milder iterations of similar behavior and previous moderator intervention regarding it, and the importance of the social contract in mafia's fundamental ability to be played fairly, the modteam felt that a ban was appropriate here.
Wade Winston Wilson/Generico has been banned for 1 year for making an inappropriate joke alluding to sexual assault in a game. We have zero tolerance for making jokes out of rape. We want to be a community where people feel safe and we find these jokes aren't conducive to that.
