Mafia June 2020 Mafia Game Thread [DAY 2 ENDS AT 6/20 5PM PST]

I think there's an interesting shift in tone from ness.

He's made both the claim that "if I'm mafia it'll look good for X people (not named)." While also making the claim that "no one should be giving me a free pass."

I think this might actually be a leap in logic that ness didn't post here, so I'll look into it.
How it is a leap in logic to state that if you're scum then Toads is town lol.
 
I don't see the motivation to be doing this from a pro-town mindset. It's like... why bother? What do you stand to gain from screwing around? I don't think the idea of Shawo joke voting Ace Marvel wouldn't be that bad if he did it just to mess around and hopefully stand to get a reaction out it, but he admitted that he had no reason for it. From my perspective it looks so unnecessarily defensive if it really wasn't meant to be that big of a deal, like he is conscious about how others are perceiving him.

this paragraph is structured weirdly, especially because your claim in the beginning states you don't see a motivation to vote ace... but then you mention that he'd "hopefully incite reaction"

i also think you took what shawo said out of context. in his wallpost he said that he was stirring for reactions
 
I believe we are in the same route with me, no one reads, I say something silly, they scum read me, I never become top wagon, eventually I will get kill and that's it. So this time I will be trying to steal the spotlight to see who wants to give it, or worse take it away from me.

I don't like Shawo wagon, but I don't have anything else.

@glow I will vote for you, because I feel like it. :)

is this the part where i omgus-vote you
 
I will reiterate that my specific complaint was with the scale of your read on me. It seemed a bit assured to say that anyone who didn't share your read was "giving me a free pass."
 
/sigh

what about my townread on you or bianca's townread on you is weak?

i swear i will tunnel the next person that says "shucks, well, it's d1, what can we do,,,,,"

it is definitely not impossible to have reads d1, town should stop undermining reads bc it allows mafia to shuffle in all the voices that think "it's too early to tell"

fair enough, you said you liked my reservation of judgment

bianca's townread on me is apparently bc it is statistically unlikely for me to rand scum twice in a row, so i'm gonna maintain that that's weak

i agree that it's not impossible to have reads d1 but i think today has gotten off to a very underwhelming and soggy start. feels like 22 pages of nothing
 
So the fact that ness is sticking with the claim that "anyone who doesn't want to lynch me is """"""""giving me a free pass"""""""" means that either there was some thought process that you haven't shared or that you've made a logical leap...

Want to share?
 
People that don't want to lynch him. Frankly I don't see why it matters, I have many thoughts to share and they're coming soon.
i don't know who doesn't want to vote him on the top of my head, but I don't equate a free pass with someone townreading him. a free pass would be me town reading a new player since they're new
 
I think the few things of value here are the reactions to me, and the reactions to ace.

I think I've dug the most genuine reads out of people and right now, and it's easy to see how people have been thinking about the game in reference to that.

Although, I will admit, I did not intend on doing it like this.

Read my post and agree that ness made a huge logical jump between those two posts.

Regardless of how scummy you may think my ten or so posts are, it would be too much to be complaining about anyone who doesn't share that read. Agree?
 
did this really require such a long exposé? you basically repeated the same thing throughout the majority of the wall post. why is nobody questioning this???

i actually have u as townlocked, AMA

also i KNOW i'm getting quotes from replies to me right now, FYI i am / still / reading and i'm on page 16 (well about to be 17)

Well then I concede I worded it incorrectly, I'm only human and I don't always make the most eloquent points. The fact that he's running with me saying "giving him a free pass" as an attempt to turn things on me, as well as state that I think he is "100 mafia" (never said that, haven't even made the post yet) just oozes opportunistic to me. All I ever said was that if he's scum, Toads is probably town; that's not a leap in logic anyway.

I'll leave this much for the time being: Scum needs to appeal to the masses in order to survive, and they have to feign others existence in order to get them on their good side. Shawo is doing this with Ace right now rather than make any definite claim, and it rubs me completely the wrong way. His change in stance on Toadsworthy is mildly interesting and I'm not sure how to interpret it currently, but he's refused to answer these questions I've directed to him several times and I don't know why he dodged them.
 
Yay I'm being scum read by everyone! great job me. I should let you kill to prove that this is my town play style, but that is against the rules of trying to win, so I'll just be quite for a while, will be lurking but quiet. the devil within.

townlock #2, hello

im not so sure on that. ness in one posts says if you’re maf than it looks good on toads. then he says people shouldn’t be giving you a free pass. i don’t know who these people are, but i don’t see the leap. if he thinks you’re maf, it seems fine to me that he’d be sus of players who are avoiding reading you/town reading you

i was told to pick 3
i was sure about the other two but didn't really want to come down on either side of you or bianca. the 'or' doesn't have any further significance

fwiw i'm also rescinding my previous comments on you now that you've posted more, so revise that to just read bianca
 
I’ve been noticing that Aerious’s posts just come off as really cautious and unsure. i would expect her to be very bold and assertive in making claims/interactions but when she questions people she kinda just backs away when people don’t agree. i’m getting the vibe she’s playing to not be controversial and draw attention. but does she have TMI hmmmmm
i have to say, you keep holding a standard over my head despite the fact that i'm starting to get back into the jive of things. i'm admittedly rusty. i haven't backed away when people don't agree, i'm asking because i want reactions to compare statements to. saying that i'm non-confrontational because i'm trying to lay a foundation is hasty. you also have to keep in mind that thus far, it feels like not much has been accomplished, so it feels like i have to brute force reactions. teddy threw the one thing that could've provided info on shawo/toads. what about the non-committal noobs who've parroted what everyone else has said? i've been trying to put together my own judgments thus far. inc my list just to clear the air

Using a low post player, to get reactions, but it was ruined by two situations, Bianca's eenie meenie miney moe joke, and Shawo pointing out, I was looking at glow, just using the wagon to see, who will cause me of mafia, who would jump, and who would try to reason it.
i'm not fully buying this excuse. the easy wagoning target would've been toads or shawo. why try to start another? also, you completely halted the conversation between the two of them by shifting the topic. i wanted to see more about what they had to say

inc my list (copied from toads, i'm lazy):
  1. Lothitine - null/scum lean Loth is too new for me to tell if it's ignorance or AI. I want to see their play in the upcoming days, because the contribution to town has been meaningless and parroting imo. Leaning on ignorance due to mixing up Epona and Punchy.
  2. Ness - town lean/null For reasons I stated earlier. The 2KP misunderstanding leans away from mafia.
  3. Teddy345 - null/scum lean Faux bandwagon could've thrown town off. Best case: Shawo and Toads are town. Worst case: Shawo and Toads are mafia. Why did he immediately back off and get defensive instead of justifying his reasoning, especially if this was to benefit town? Why throw an easy wagon just because not enough attention was on him?
  4. Feferily - null
  5. Toads - null - Has been aiding town, but also overly explained ATE to Epona. Toads can go either way for me at this point.
  6. Shawo - null - Somewhat aided town, haven't seen enough to definitively lean either way.
  7. glow - null
  8. Sensei - scum lean Not a huge fan of people avoiding the topic at hand. Sensei responds without adding much else beyond parroting. Time zone and not wanting to isn't an excuse if you can type two lines about people.
  9. Heyden - null
  10. Aerious - town
  11. Daniel - town/maf By the way Daniel's taken the lead and seems self-assured, I'm thinking he has PR regardless. Either he's 100% town preparing to take the lead, or 100% mafia preparing to deceive town.
  12. Pinkshade - null
  13. Mayor Leaf - town lean/null Mayor Leaf's been contributing and confident. The sole reason it isn't fully town is because someone mentioned this not being on par with a past game. Could be overcompensating, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
  14. Frogslime - null/scum lean Frogslime hasn't contributed enough for me to tell if it's AI.
  15. Bianca - null
  16. Punchy - null/scum lean Punchy contributed something and is double dipping in games. Potential excuse?
  17. Epona - null Objective player, no way to tell which way she'll go. Leaning town because of gut, but that's not enough of a reason to fully be town-leaning.
