Mafia The Battle of the Nobles- Endgame

To clarify, I would allow votes in the thread but I would not necessary lynch based off the results. I'm not trying to vouch for myself as King here, because I honestly do not care, but having someone more or less confirmed is better than choosing a scum who would "listen" to town, at least in my opinion. Also, if you don't want me as King because you are afraid I would lynch you, you are mistaken. I do not think you are worthy of lynch for D2.

No I only said I don't want you because you wouldn't follow maj, not because I thought you would lynch me

WTF why me as King?

The consensus is that you are clear as town because Jacob went after you first

Also I want Punchy dead regardless of alignment so we can talk about something else lol

toads voting Jacob here looks like mafia switching onto mafia, but it is hard to say. I think if Punchy/Jacbob is S/S, there is a good chance that toads could also be scum. If Punchy is not scum, I don't see the situation the same way. Mafia could have easily swayed the vote over to Punchy with a small amount of convincing. If all three of them were scum, they could have switched the vote over to Bianca if they tried hard, but that would have looked incredibly bad on the three of them.

I am still unsure about toads. Again, Dolby raises some really good points, but I want to look through his posts on my own later today before I decide my actual stance. Also, night kills will help with this.

I will post my personal full reads list before end of night in case I am killed.
 
Dolby said:
Personally, I think that Toads is visually struggling here. The Chele read I'm struggling to wrap my head around why he's reading her, moreover, why included the one quote. The Punchy read is purely emotional, lacking anything I would call good logic

Or, more importantly, why he's even taking the time to make a nullread on Vanessa. No other people in important nulls. It feels like he's acknowledging her presence for his own purposes
Again, low-key shade thrown at me, I don't know why you are making this read on me so personal, present your evidence and feel its strength in that. I don't know why you have to put in a phrase like "visually struggling" when it biases people before you even make a point.

I think thats a pretty good description of chele, she was good at interrogating at the start and I liked her content. It seemed genuinely scum-hunting. Is that gonna stand up on day 2, probably not because I hate that she just counted votes and gave an excuse for not participating in EoD.

I nulled vanessa because some people had already said that she was being town leaned, when there was reason to believe that at the time.

Dolby said:
However, changing ones playstyle from 1 year prior is NOT something that should be scumleaned for, and actively dislike that choose to use that. His Temptations read... idk I wouldn't even call it a scumread I'd call it a null

You have said on two accounts now that using meta from over a year ago shouldn't scum lean people. yet to strengthen your argument you have made the comparison to SU2.

Dolby said:
Pot
Kettle
Black

I straight up asked vanessa what should we do about the lynch and she went on to say she would be ok with a bianca lynch in the face of jacob and punchy at this point having majority of the votes. I stayed on bianca because she was the only one I had legit evidence on, you just said my case was fine on bianca. I didn't see anything wrong with jacob, I town read punchy. I stayed with my reads rather than flop around like everyone else was doing.

Dolby said:
It was demonstrated time and time again to you that Punchy was actually differing from normal play

We've also said that Punchy's normal play is the freaking same whether he is town or scum punchy is always scummy. The reason he got town locked and was able to win those two games as scum is because he made a vote and we PoE locked him into town. He hasn't done that and we have a bunch of new players in the game, so everyone is falling back on "punchy is scum" which is what happened in all his early games. His "read me" posts and his content showed effort reminiscent of town punchy, his mental breakdowns remind me of early bad town punchy, but none of it says scum punchy to me. He is weak town lean, but in the face of jacob who I had no read on, yeah I'm gonna push for my town lean to live over a null.

Dolby said:
It?s weird, but I think jacob thought it made him look better to not vote punchy. His last push was almost for trundle which makes me put trundle high in my town reads. It leaves open the possibility, but I don?t think it?s absolutley convincing like you think it is
You asked me my answer for it and I gave you my idea. idk how or why a mafia does something, yes it looks shady now, but there's also a lot of reasons why someone does or does not do something.

I logged on yesterday, I saw we were voting punchy and jacob I asked what was the case on jacob was and it was he put unravel/mog/trundle in a scum possibility together. Which doing so early in the game, doesn't pique my interest... saying that isn't compatible so early makes no sense to me because as we've seen using that logic gets you into trouble. So I wasn't impressed with it no. Jacob's later posts did sound defeated and grasping, which ultimately convinced me to swap off bianca and onto him especially because I didn't want punchy lynched.

So when I read unravel's post it just seemed like she randomly chose jacob out of the three to suspect, cleared mog for being genuine which its mog thats just her demeanor, and seemingly looked past that we had spent a whole day prior talking about trundle and how scummy he was. It seemed really weird and thats what I was getting at with it.

I by no means was "defending" jacob, but I didn't feel as strongly about his lynch as bianca's and felt better about punchy.

Now looking back on all of this, I see Dolby's point that does make me look like I was supporting jacob and trying to save him, but my intentions and everything I said was indifferent to him more than anything and at the end of day, when I had plenty of time to turncoat on Punchy for an easier lynch if I was scum to save myself rather than jacob, I did vote jacob when I could've stayed on bianca and rode it out.

Dolby uses a lot of nice emotional words and exaggerations to really lock in that he wants me dead and paints a nice picture

And on a side note:
[quotes=Dolby]Your local arrogant ass signing off[/quote]

Your words not mine. I asked you to rescind your statement about "drunk filler posts" because it was hurtful, especially when I have gotten it in the past, but an apology would've been nice too. There was no need for that comment and had nothing to do with your argument and it was a lie. You treated it so disingenuinely. I've been on your case about this in several games about how you seemingly take personal digs at me outside of the scope of the game and every time you don't acknowledge it and think you can just keep doing it. This example pretty much sums it up. That's what led me to blow up at you in that one game that you reported me. I'm willing to accept that I went to far and have said so already, but you need to at some point acknowledge your part in it.

I had plenty of time to go in any other direction at the EoD, why do you and Dolby think I would choose to sit in between two scummates and hem and haw so obviously and try to push it onto another lynch.

one of those quotes is not from dolby.... idk what happened with my quotes
 
hello, i am back and from work and finally on my laptop and i would have rly loved to see what has happened since end of day however i am on the verge of death through lack of sleep and therefore i'm rly sry guys but expect to see me in 4 days, jk i will set an alarm for end of night. i thought it would be more useful i be around for end of day rather than night but rly in the end, all i did was panic and flip flop lol. i rly do plan on making sense of everything that has happened and to redo my reads (and post a full read list as i have not done that yet, or rly gone into much detail at all, i'm more of a useless live in the moment poster lol) but pls understand i may be away for a lil while!!!!

oh me as king that's a surprise after how badly i panicked yikes. i deffo wouldn't want me, i mean i can 100% pinky promise i would do maj vote (lbr i'm not lynching anyone on my own i suck) but since trundle is essentially town (unless a master play has been done) it might be better to pick him, i know he said he wouldn't automatically maj vote but i'm sure he just means in the case that he feels like mafia is pushing a vote on town, that's the problem with maj vote i guess (although i do agree with it i think since we did maj vote and it did work), maybe waffle would be a good pick if she is being town read this much, i actually forget why she is bc i'm so tired but something to do with jacob interaction so that works

sry i'm deffo asleep now bye
 
Just to answer Toads on why we think you sit betwrrrn your teammates, I think it’s reminiscent of what you did in Franchise, APM and SU2 with lynched that we’re on your teammates up until, surprise surprise, a goon was lynched

I will admit that your behavior looks...better if Punchy is town, but that’s exactly why I think you’re scum with Punchy and I want vig to shoot Lunchy.

I think Toads looks marginally better if Punchy is town, but his strange fixation on the pointlessness of the Jacob wagon is telling throughout the day

That’s also precisely why I believe Punchy/Jacob is s/s

That the Jacob lynch was going to easily I kean
 
I understand why toads looks bad because of wagons and advising against lynching Jacob but other than that he seems town to me, his tone seems like his town tone. If punchy flips scum my opinion may change, but Toads sticking up for punchy really seemed townish to me because Toad as town really thinks for himself and doesn't follow the general opinion. Just look at last game, despite all the evidence against Evan he believed Evan was town (and he was right). That seems to me like what he's doing here

The manner in which he advocated against Punchy and Jacob lynched looks insanely horrendous and is 100% why I’m pushing Punchy/Toads

And Punchy still needs to be vigshot

As for the fourth mafia, I’d still guess Evan

Just as an fyi, if Punchy is (somehow) town my read on Toads (and many others) changes majorly

Reading over certain ISOs, I'll say that this from Rune looks particularly. It substantiates her early top SL of Jacob and TLs Trundle at a point in time that he was a punching bag. I feel like she's different from normal in terms of tone in style, but also different from how she normally is as mafia

ye scum is for sure lurking at this point if trundle is town, which makes me kinda worried about the ppl who havent rly contributed to the ate thing when it was happening (jacob, evan, chele, vanessa kinda and me i guess but ik im not scum so i cant rly scumread myself lol)
thats by no means a comprehensive list and im sure im missing some ppl but id def say that at the top of my list of ppl who have been a little in the background and not saying much of substance is jacob, would def wanted him lynched if i had to choose rn but then again i havent put much effort into looking through ppl yet so its subject to change. would def lock him in as at least a scumread atm

also i tr trundle if u want a hot take

I hate their read on Punchy, but I don't think that scum!Rune commits to Jacob as their top pick this early

Similarly, Evan's still my third pick but he's kinda trending upward if only for post lynch effort and the fact that he actually looked back into the timing on Rune's vote, but I actually think that Rune/Evan/Punchy would be an interesting team anyway, while I still can't picture a world where Punchy is maf and Toads is town
 
i have like 20 pages to read now. pls shoot me. y?all did great though. lemme catch up and see what all went down holy heck.
 
I'm less sus of Rune now than I was yesterday when I was 1000000% convinced her and Bianca were teamed (which is the main reason I switched my vote to Bianca yesterday btw, it was mostly to make a statement that I believed they were teamed even if that wouldn't end up being the lynch.) She did sus Jacbob before his major lynch train started, and she had a valid reason for not being on at EoD. Her change of tone and effort could be due to overall lack of motivation rather than being scum.
 
I'm all caught up and I think a lot of questions will be answered after punchy gets shot. Jacbob (love the new meme) and Punchy opens a lot of possibilities (including myself, but I'm willing to take the fall if need be).
 
@everyone but @dolby especially

make a readslist for a world where I'm town (you'll thank me later)

I actually just tried to and I seriously can't come up with a group of three people who could be scum outside Heyden/Chele/Ness, with Tae and Bianca as well

If you're town than

Unravel
Trundle
Antonio
Rune
Mog
Toads
Vanessa
Evan

Everything below here wouldn't be an active TL
Ness (conflicted on placement of Ness here, could be put in TL in the Punchy!town world)
Heyden
Tae
Chele
Bianca

Working from that list is just...ugh. Ness feels like town, Heyden's first vote was Bianca, and I like Chele's content, while I dislike Toads jabs at her for doing vote counts at EoD. Creating a team of three would be an ordeal from this (especially given that the list is 40% lhf rn)

I'm more than comfortable keeping you as a SL and want vig to kill you tonight

Maybe do some solving of your own
