M1023: Mafarmia [GAME THREAD] [HIDDEN]

[bozotheclown]

N1 dog checks:

bozo: ghug
Chaqa: bozo
Bonatogether: no check
heartthrob: damo
lfischl: Kakarroto
Kakarroto: refuses to participate
bo_sox: rdrivera
celaph: no check
worcej: Chaqa
rdrivera: refuses to participate
damo: refuses to participate

N2 dog checks:

worcej: bozo
Bonatogether: no check
lfischl: worcej
Chaqa: rdrivera
bozo: worcej

My initial reaction D2 was that heartthrob and lfischl seemed likely to be town for responding quickly (Chaqa responded quickly also, but I was already suspecting him for other reasons). Also, bo_sox and worcej seemed likely to be town for defending the survey, because I doubt either would do that to try to pocket me when I had a good chance of being the DK. With celaph and rdrivera no longer in the game, Bonatogether, Kakarroto, and damo are the only remaining dissenters.

I still suspect Chaqa, so that leaves Bonatogether, Kakarroto, damo, and Chaqa as my scum pool.

First off, I petted rivera last night. Bummed he died.

But I want to give a brief glimpse into my thought process just now as I began posting, so you can understand just how my playstyle happens:

*checks PM* oooh Rivera isn't the sheepdog cool. Oh, he died. hmm... I'm gonna claim someone random is the sheepdog. That should be fun. Wait no that's dumb. Okay I'm gonna say 'I'll protect your secret, my furry friend'... wait no why am I like this, that's not gonna do anything good. Okay, I'll just say I would prefer not to say and maybe that will make mafia kill me... or maybe it'll make town kill me. Okay fine I'll be boring and tell the truth.

This all happens in about 15 seconds. Most of the time, my better thoughts don't win out and I go with one of the first stupid ideas I get. So, for those who wonder why I do the things I do, this is why.

Did you not believe rdrivera's VT claim?

I always assume it's a joke at this point

If my calculations are correct, there is a 27% to 30% random chance the mafia know the identity of the dog, depending on whether their N1 check survived to D3, and a 19% random chance for each (non-dog) town player to know the identity of the dog, assuming they used their scans.

Apparently the mafia think that also.

[Chaqa]

I think there’s 3 mafia in Bozo, worcej, bo, Damo.

[Chaqa]

Heartthrob I guess too but he’s got new player fog

I want to vote Bozo today. I’m actually quite firm on not voting Damo our first if that group

[bo_sox48]

I pet damo in my search for floof

[bo_sox48]

The scumteam killing rdr indicates they are PR hunting which bodes well for us imo, it means participation is not very likely to be punished by a nightkill. It also means that killing lurkers by day is a very valid strategy because our PRs should see that kill and feel like their best defense is to play hard, so they probably won’t be hiding that way anymore.

N1 dog checks:

bozo: ghug
Chaqa: bozo
Bonatogether: no check
heartthrob: damo
lfischl: Kakarroto
Kakarroto: refuses to participate
bo_sox: rdrivera
celaph: no check
worcej: Chaqa
rdrivera: refuses to participate
damo: refuses to participate

N2 dog checks:

worcej: bozo
Bonatogether: no check
lfischl: worcej
Chaqa: rdrivera
bozo: worcej
bo_sox: damo

[bozotheclown]

I think we should DK Chaqa today while damo is committed to voting for him.

##VOTE Chaqa

I think the most likely scum teams are:
Chaqa, damo, Bonatogether
Chaqa, damo, Kakarroto
Chaqa, Bonatogether, Kakarroto

I was not participating in the survey out of deference to the dissenters who may have seen a negative impact I fail to see. However two of them are now dead and I can't work out a downside. If there is one most of town are guilty of compliance anyway so I see no further reason to dissent.

N1 I pet worcej
N2 I pet Bozo

[damo666]

Given Bo pet rdr N1 (per claim) and rdr N2k I am adding Bo to my townpool

damo: bozo

[bozotheclown]

With only one mis-kill left, I think it would be a good idea to have everyone go on record with their scum pool, up to 4:

bozo: Bonatogether, Chaqa, damo, Kakarroto
Chaqa: bo_sox, bozo, damo, worcej

[Chaqa]

I think we should DK Chaqa today while damo is committed to voting for him.

##VOTE Chaqa

I think the most likely scum teams are:
Chaqa, damo, Bonatogether
Chaqa, damo, Kakarroto
Chaqa, Bonatogether, Kakarroto

Have you ever given a single explanation for scumming me?

Even Damo doesn’t think I’m scum, he just wants an info flip.

[Chaqa]

Given Bo pet rdr N1 (per claim) and rdr N2k I am adding Bo to my townpool

WIFOM moment

[Chaqa]

Given Bo pet rdr N1 (per claim) and rdr N2k I am adding Bo to my townpool

Like why does he get any town cred

If he’s mafia he lied about who he petted
If he’s town mafia wouldn’t care who pets who anyway

And by your logic me petting rivera on the night he’s killed should be important

There’s no consistency or logic to your game at all

[Chaqa]

So probably if you’re scum so is Bo

[bozotheclown]

I think we should DK Chaqa today while damo is committed to voting for him.

##VOTE Chaqa

I think the most likely scum teams are:
Chaqa, damo, Bonatogether
Chaqa, damo, Kakarroto
Chaqa, Bonatogether, Kakarroto

Have you ever given a single explanation for scumming me?

Even Damo doesn’t think I’m scum, he just wants an info flip.

Yes:
1. your first post where you said you forgot about the game and were OK getting DKed D1
2. your D1 vote for damo
3. your unexplained strong town read of lfischl, which could be an attempt to set him up for a mis-kill
4. moving off my wagon D2 when I was in the lead, then moving back at EOD

[bozotheclown]

So probably if you’re scum so is Bo

If damo is mafia, that seems more like a pocketing attempt than trying to help a teammate.
