MAFIA 48 -The Gladiator- GAME THREAD [HIDDEN]

[damo666]

damo's posting so far is actually kind of crap. I really thought damo was great as town last game and I think I was feeling good about them so far just because of that. The ItsHosuke vote looks like a park.

RL a bit of a pain at mo.

[yuuki]

I just don't get a scum vibe from EMC. Maybe I'm biased like last game because he's my Coalition game buddy but he seems normal to me.

Doesn't this bother anybody else?

Everything Chaqa says bothers me

[yuuki]

I don't understand why Vapor was not stabbed. He is a cleared townie now.

No, he isn't.

Why not? Why would scum jail themselves on N1 without knowing that using the jailor would prevent someone from posting?

@Vapor: can you just confirm if you did not post during the night because you were unable to do so?

I don't think it's a scumslip per se, but I do think Chaqa is faking his reactions.

How is faking reactions not a scumslip?

[yuuki]

Feelings to comment on:

1. I don't like how yuuki ignores WIFOM and goes all-in with statements without considering the other options. There is no guarantees this game and people should be suspicious of everything.
2. I'm not finding a strong reason why Vapor was jailed. An ISO shows a lot of interaction (standard for him) and him stating reads spread into it. I don't see any smoking guns of soft claims to warrant the possibility of a jail/stab.
3. Via POE, if Vapor is scum, I would be inclined to think rdr is as well only because faking the jail would require a little bit of communication and coordination and he may have been gone and the team wanted to ensure this sticks. I don't really scum rdr for anything, but that seems to be a logical thing that would need to happen to ensure the faking the jail was pulled off.
4. I still don't like Hosuke's play. N1 continued this feeling by focusing on Tem and Jamie without any attention to food's vote - I think this was a distancing considering the post was 5 hours into N1 and that is enough time for scum to flesh out who they kill (based on re-reads of prior games, the targets are usually fleshed out early). Also not sure why Ike and yuuki look better on EOD1 versus other people either.
5. Jamie screams town to me based on his tunneling and anger. That is normal rage Jamie.
6. I think Vecna is getting the sympathy "let him live longer to enjoy the game" but if both him and xorxes are alive by D4 then something is up and there is a scum in one of them.
7. It's 11-5-1 atm, so I would advise our PRs to hold any challenges because we are not in an alarm state yet.

Going with my strongest read for now - ##vote Hosuke

It's D2. If there is a 1% chance of Vapor being scum, that means there is a 99% chance of him being town. That is as sure as you can get of anything on D2. He is as good as cleared town for now. If he survives a few more nights that may change as there is no legit reason why scum would leave a cleared townie alive for long (other than his reads being absolute crap).

[yuuki]

PS I'm travelling for the next two days, will do what I can although nothing guaranteed

##VOTE Nephthys

[yuuki]

I kinda feel like Vapor is scum.

I kinda feel like you are playacting dumb

[yuuki]

Sorry, miles behind. Quick summary?

Stop lurking

[yuuki]

I will vote in D2 for any of:

damo
carambola
nephthys
temasek
xorxes

[Jamiet99uk]

##Vote Damo666 for anchoring and contributing nothing. Pathetic.

[Jamiet99uk]

Why am I not on your list? Wasn't I your biggest scumread?

I can add you if you keep asking for it. Can't I change my mind?

What do you think of Nephthys anchor post?

[Vaporwave]

Also, sorry for not posting for a long time, Hosuke and I were at a mutual friend's birthday party (he failed badly trying to talk to the girls lmao) I'll try to get a reread done now hopefully.

This just feels antagonistic for no reason. Almost like theyre putting up an act together.

this ^ great point, I feel like the Hosu vs Tema banter has continued for far too long. I only care what they say about each other in regards to alignments and when it comes to that, they're hedgey

[Vaporwave]

Will say that Temasek looks better in terms of content

thus if there's a town in this, my money is on Temasek rather than Hosuke

Will review them later

[Jamiet99uk]

I'm interested about why you've changed your mind. You had a serious boner for me yesterday. What changed?

[Vecna]

guys, we need to lynch Damo

I make it a point whenever I'm town to approach D2 with a different approach to D1. I'll revisit you in D3 to see if I still think you are scum (if I'm still around). But I do not intend to spend D2 focused on the same people I focused on D1. The way I see it there are 5 scum to be caught out there. Even if my D1 reads are right and you are one of them, there are still 4 more out there that will need to be caught.

I’ve spent the evening alternating between sleeping and being sick. I’ll check back in tomorrow

Oh look, another RL excuse from Chaqa.

[Chaqa]

Well some of us have IRL stuff, Rivera.
