Maf team - antonio, punchy, waffles

I kinda want to see what Punchy flips first though because it'll more easily connect Antonio and unrxvl's stances on him. I'm fine with Punchy/Antonio for lynch atm though.
 
I am supportive of lynching someone else but only if we can be reasonably sure they are scum. A Rune lynch isn't ideal, but is a good fallback.

I agree with Evan and Dolby on Antonio. Such passive play definitely looks scummy to me.

Antonio, we have to lynch someone. Who's it gonna be?

Agree fully with everything youve said here.
 
This is all going down way to easily for me to be comfortable with. Not saying that I neccessarily sus any of the people behind the latest Antonio push or Punchy push, but it feels like everytime that someones brought up who I find sus two or three people who I'm marginally uncomfortable jump out of the woodwork concurring with whatever is said

maybe it's just an ez game /s
 
Hey everybody, I think it'd be good if we all took a break from talking about antonio, punchy, and rune, and instead focused our attention on those of us who havent been very active so far. Right now, kammm and locket haven't made any substantial posts so far, and unravels been pretty reclusive in this game. Though, I understand in her intro she stated to not expect too much from her given her job. I find it odd that we've been debating about a select few for half of the day, yet not mentioned others even once.

who exactly are you marginally uncomfortable with? it couldn't possibly be little ol' me...
 
Maple, but a lot of it is that I suddently see 4 people agree that Antonio is sus in the span of 10 minutes

Nah for me it was actually Evan's summarized point that swayed me in my suspicion on Antonio. I would still pick Punchy over him though for lynch cause his scuminess is more noticeable.
 
Alright

Third Party
Rune-Seriously, the only conceivable situation in which Rune fakeclaims is as hostile TP. I wholeheartedly believe him to at least not be mafia

Townleans
Calamitybot
Farobi

Town-null
Evan
ILY

I feel that both Evan and ILY are distinctly not suspicious to me from my null pool
Null
Dedenne
Ghost
unravel
Byngo

Scumish
Punchy
Maple
Antonio

Haven't yet spoken spoken
Kammm
Locket-only posted RQS


This is not nearly as comprehensive as it normally would be, I feel that discussion this game is suffering due to a lack of skill of the people actually in the game sadly, and the only people who I particularly trust to be not mafia are the highest three on my list and I've been bouncing around on the placement of the other eleven players and the last three times I did it I ended up with these groupings.

Right now I'm most comfortable with a Rune lynch.

1. He's telling the truth, so his death is neutral to town.

2. He's lying and is scum, so his death is beneficial.

3. He's lying and he's town. Would a town player ever want to do that though?
Ok yeah, I found this from earlier, this is pretty much a CP of what Evan had wrote.
mafia can do the opposite, sure, but especially in the case of a surv claim, it becomes harder to maintain as time goes on

like I get what you're saying but I def think that surv claim situations are pretty clear-cut
- if rune is scum, we leave him alone for most of the game until lylo and lynch him, so his claim doesn't help him
- lol if rune is town, TP claims can't be town
- if rune is hostile TP, we track the kills each phase and we realize there's probably a SK so we vig shoot or lynch him, doesn't help him

Basically the only time it benefits rune to claim surv as scum is...never. It helps him live through the game to be sure, but he locks himself in to getting PoE'd really fast end of game

I am supportive of lynching someone else but only if we can be reasonably sure they are scum. A Rune lynch isn't ideal, but is a good fallback.

I agree with Evan and Dolby on Antonio. Such passive play definitely looks scummy to me.

Antonio, we have to lynch someone. Who's it gonna be?
I'm gonna get some pushback on this, but I'm going to say Antonio and Silver aren't a scumteam in my view. Silver is inexperienced, but scum want some new content on their partners if they're going to bus them, rather than simply concur with experienced players opinions halfway through the day. But more significantly, this is her first scumread outside Rune, who's lynch is clearly going to fail at this point, and the way she goes forward with it is simply to strong to be a reluctant bus from her.

Calamity: Nope, nothing at the moment.
Punchy: He's the person I'm reading more than Rune. I need him to post a lot more before I can state my reason why because it would mess things up.

Also, I'm not trying to be all about Rune. Usually when playing mafia, I don't intend to but I focus on a particular person (Fire, Punchy, etc in past games) because well...I'm not sure. Maybe because I have an opinion that I think they are this alignment that I strongly believe is credible therefore I state it often.
Honestly would've been better for you to say that you had no thoughts on the two here Antonio

Btw, I've seen a few people suggesting and talking about the connection between Waffles and Punchy and its kind of been sitting on the backburner for some of the people who sus Punchy, and I really disagree with the argument that they would be scum together. They've had three points where I would say that they somewhat naturally interacted with eachother directly or indirectly. First of all was when Punchy came in sussing Farobi for sussing me for sussing Waffles, even for counterproductive Punchy, I would see no reason to go after Farobi here with Waffles as his teammate. He's taking out the person who's taking out the person who's taking out his teammate. The another is the oft-cited "Punchy feels town" post from Waffles, and that's simply two obvious a connection.
Waffles later rebukes that here, but this really isn't something a scum teammate would do. Punchy just got some of the sus off of him (at least that from Kayla). Knowing Waffles, she'd run away with the chance to get sus off of her teammate, but no

Girl why do I feel like its scripted?


For now I feel like Rune lynch is much more safer but I rather save it in mid game in case we have a doubt who to lynch.

How about we settle the issue between me, farobi, dolby and punchy I do think one of us in the list is scum
 
oh hey, punchy is browsing the thread. punchy, tell us all about how you feel about being sussed out. my ears are wide open and eagerly waiting for you

Are you saying either me or Dolby could be scum?

Cause if you dont think Punchy is scummy enough to be lynched, then if you are town, then does that mean its either me or dolby in your eyes?
 
Honestly I have no idea how I would defend myself at the moment. Going ahead with the Antonio lynch, I'll see if anything has happened in the morning.

Who do you think is Mafia in the list then ?

That's exactly what popped into my mind. Waffles made it clear that out of you & Dolby, Punchy was most likely Town.

Out of you, Dolby & Punchy *

hi
so basically this happens every game (I've always been town except once in a nonserious game) I get sussed for just being Punchy
and then Town proceeds to lynch me. I partly blame myself for being weird this game, for not having dinner before the game. That's why I was a "robot". Also, I'm down for a Waffles (unravel) lynch, I'll reread the thread in the morning and post my thoughts about that.
 
Hey guys sorry for coming so late to the party, didn't have service where I was. I'm catching up on the thread now.

- - - Post Merge - - -

Okay so, thus far there's not too much to look into, so I'll address the two biggest concerns right now: Rune's claim and the way Punchy's been acting. I know everyone's been discussing these and I apologize for coming in late but I'll still put my two cents in so everyone can hear my opinion.

I personally am pretty confident that Rune is TP, however him saying he's going to help town anyway sounded really genuine and I DON'T think we should lynch him now, even if it wouldn't hurt us player-wise, it's still not the best option imo we should focus on people who are acting scummy and Rune is not. Like Dolby said, if the time comes where it's clearer that Rune could potentially be lying about his role, we can discuss it more then.
On Punchy, it's starting to seem like he somehow draws attention to himself every game LOL so I'm a bit on the fence about him, however I do think he's acting a bit differently than normal and the way he reacted to Rune's claim didn't sit well with me. This quote right here made me feel especially uneasy:
I want to lynch him because that obvious fake claim is just SO obvious. It technically won't hurt us if we lynch him, bc he's probably TP, and we won't be losing our numbers.

Of course, it could just be punchy being punchy lol but we should keep an eye on him for sure.
 
ok so i feel like we should just stop focusing on rune now that we've actually started thinking about whos scum. talking about him brings nothing new to the table and gets repetitive. im fine with an antonio/punchy lynch for reasons already stated
 
Just to share, here is my own read list:

Townleans/Non-prio
iloveyou
evan
calamitybot
gavin
runeraider

Null
Dolby
byngo
locket
dedenne2

Slight SL
kammmm
maplesilver
antonio
unrxvl

Scumlean
punchy

The thing about town Punchy is that he's less restricting of his words and while he slips up a lot as town it's due to nothing really that pulls him back. Punchy's tone now is more aggressive (similar to those non-serious mafia games where he was mafia), he's more careful with his words, and he doesn't seem as inquisitive as he would be as town.
 
Are you saying either me or Dolby could be scum?

Cause if you dont think Punchy is scummy enough to be lynched, then if you are town, then does that mean its either me or dolby in your eyes?

Not saying entirely either you or Dolby is scum what if I'm a scum after all or either punchy and if you guys are right about punchy all along then we can discuss about me simple
