Brainbomb what do you make of Yavuzovic?

[DemonRHK]

Why?

It keeps me following the game. It might be something that could be useful. It helps me not tunnel when I'm forced to try to approach from a neutral perspective rather than try to make people's post fit my narrative. Would you have been as questioning about all of this if your name hadn't came up in it, out of curiosity?

Brainbomb what do you make of Yavuzovic?

Looks alot like his previous scumgame. However hes a null for me for a few reasons. Namely hes pretty much claimed mason

Yes I believe I would.

You said your system was similar to Krellin's scum notch system, now you're saying it's not. I'm really not sure what you're up to.

I do not believe he did. He claimed *you* were a Mason.

■he asked to be converted
■you freaked out when I voted him p1
■I said Jamie freaking out could mean yav is mason w/ Jamie
■yav says I have nothing to worry about
■yav starts claiming im a mason

I think this could all easily be yav trying to bait a conversion thatll fail.

This is where im at Jamie

This answered 0 of my 3 questions Yav. You just defended yourself and reversed your vote after being criticized. If everyone you have talked about so far it's town, do you have any scumreads yet?

Umm, why are you accusing me for not revealing real mason‽ Why are you shading me.
If you want my scumreads, lurkers + bozo + very little you (after this post)

[Squigs44]

Squiggs seems more perturbed so far than most people.

I had to go look up what perturbed meant. Google said it means anxious or unsettled. Of course I'm anxious, several players haven't posted yet, and most of those that have haven't posted real content. I've given my thoughts on what has been posted, and now you have construed those thoughts as scum Squigs throwing shade on townies? My playstyle is to point out scummy things, and after those accumulate, build a case. So yes, I am "shading" people, that's part of the game.
I thought I have been clear about where I stand:
Bozo is the most suspect of the posting players, based off of the way his posts have been worded to garner town points.
ChippeRock is also suspect for laying low.
Yav is showing signs of scum, but is hard to tell.
Jamie, Brain, Dr are all playing townie.
There is likely one (possibly both) scum who has not posted or has posted very little.

[brainbomb]

Hmmmmmmm

I do like that post

You had already "revealed" BB as Mason. I wanted to know why you would reveal him.

[brainbomb]

Squiggs why is neph not on your radar? Whats he done?

[brainbomb]

Nephthys, how do you feel about some of the more controversial D1 topics?

How do you feel about a D1 no lynch?
How do you feel about the Lynch the Lurker strategy?
Do you prefer to have two large wagons at the end of day 1, or several smaller ones?

As always, provide reasoning in everything you do or say in Mafia or else you're scum. Unless you're Brainbomb - then you just call it a reaction test when you forget to provide reasoning.

1. I don't see what we gain? We are working effectively against the clock, if we never lynch then the cult win. With that logic any no lynch is inherently flawed. I will say that there may be reason to not lynch but I would consider them exceptional.

2. It depends on reads, in the absence of viable reads I think it could work but I'd prefer to go on positive findings than negative findings where possible.

3. Not sure, honestly I think I'll develop a sense of this as the game goes on but my initial thought is that fewer wagons give less places for cult to hide? Unsure though.

Our only chance of ever getting cult lynches is by lynch. We have no reason to ever no lynch.

The point that was weird about nephs vote was I wasnt even top poster when he complained. Yavuz was. And jamie also had more posts than me at the time.

I think he just heard I talk alot and listened to people like bo who think 100 posts a phase somehow hurts someone.

Wow I didn't expect people to take a vote in the first hour so seriously...
Although, 4/6 posts before mine were you just sayin

Read the bolded.

Why is he expecting us to not take his votes seriously again??

[brainbomb]

Hes also still voting me. Which would seem to imply his vote on me was just to rvs reactions. Hes not participated since.

Whatcha think squiggs?

##Vote Neph

Brainbomb what do you make of Yavuzovic?

I do not believe he did. He claimed *you* were a Mason.

I don't believe I did too. I also didn't claimed BB was mason too. I masonread him.

@RHK - Not sure why Jamie is (and BB to an extent) are so negative on the scoring system you are trying out. As I believe you have said, you don't know yet what the scores really will mean... but I think it could present an interesting stat (albeit full of WIFOM). In particular, the idea that some scum often try not to raise a lot of suspicion so they may throw less shade and may also receive less shade. It may also be useful in numerically identifying scum who have bussed or distanced themselves. I hope you are able to keep accurate stats and perhaps we can look them over at game end.

Although I am happy to see a wagon(s) form in the first 24hrs, I do not agree with the claim that Bozo's posts have been geared towards garnering town cred... if the first person to mention no lynch was always scum then Ezio would always be lynched D1.

Thus far I lean scum as follows
Nephthys - admittedly new, but the only post i remember was an anti-BB that seemed like blending in;
Squigs - Seems like he is trying to garner town cred while throwing shade on garnering town cred;
Lurkers that have posted one liners (Damo, Chippe); and
other lurkers (Worcej, yoyo)

Couple issues
■squiggs was first to suggest no lynch to nephy

##vote Squigs
I hope I am right here. But if we lynch Squigs here it will be either second-ND or second-teacher . I really scumread him at this point just for what he said in this post.

[brainbomb]

Issue 2

Yer voting bozo currently but saying hes not scum in any of your top scumreads.

Again problematic
