Mafia 56: Scout Camp

[e.m.c^42]

I'm starting to think I waste way too much time on these things that no one gets lol

[e.m.c^42]

One of the newer players tingle me for some reason, but I can't pin down who. Something about that exchange is just eh.

Which ones? I had a fleeting feeling like that as well about Bob and Macca after brainbomb's mafia chat thing.

Yes, starting from Macca's first post that entire section came off as rather odd, but I don't quite know who or what yet.

[e.m.c^42]

bobmcbob and macca are both obvtown

and you too bby.

man this is 7 pages of almost nothing great.

where is jamiet? i want to vote for him

He is eagerly waiting for someone to drop out.

Heh, I ain't getting modkilled again Jamie, don't worry.

[e.m.c^42]

Should I be keeping track of who "reads" (that's the word right?) who as what?

It seems like you guy all just know this?

Probably wise! I kept notes all through my first few games, I found it helped me keep track of everything. A lot of cases can - and are - built upon who interacts with who and what they think of them. Voting plays into this as well but the bot takes care of it.

Alright EMC Thank you

"players"? Plural?

Who else is new, I need to know who to gang up on.

Sorry, "team up with".

Probably good to put this out for clarification and whatnot. When I say newer players it's you, RCotton, JB, Flyingboat (utterly new, no useable meta), plus more experienced but still "new"; Bob, Bismarck, and Donny.

[e.m.c^42]

I think damo is town, Chaqa is town. Feeling decent about xorx and Bob. A lil' bit questioning at worce and Vecna but more the former than latter and it'll probably be gone by tomorrow lol.

I'm told the meta here is to vote against EMC. Can you confirm the accuracy of that? Time to catch up on this thread...

[BismarckAlive]

I dont think you wanna use last games rules. there was +1s encouraged, and chaqa had a boner most of that game

I giggled at this lol

so did I! Bye, bye, love American Pie...

[e.m.c^42]

HR and Durga are both returning players that I haven't played with and don't really have meta on, so we shall see, anyways hi and welcome back :D

[BobMcBob]

These certainly appear to move faster than they used to; or I'm just getting old.

Most notable thing thus far seems to be how rapidly Donny backed off his early read of emc being town for plus oneing a lot (I mean sure, I'd rapidly back off that read too, that reasoning is awful). The reaction to the slightest hint of pressure was pretty poor though methinks.

Bob was also a tad touchy when brainbomb made the mafia chat joke to macca; seemed very quick to slap it down which jars out a bit compared to the rest of the tone of the game.

I will say this in defense of Bob - he's a lot more laid back as scum, and more twitchy as town.

I hadn't actually realised that, good to know. I thought I was relatively twitchy both ways, M51 I thought was pretty touchy, but I can't quite remember.

Will say that though, early few xorxes seemed more jocular than usual, our dearest damo has made me on sharp edge paranoia when it comes to shifts like this lol

So far one common thread had been the debate over mass claims which I think is a terrible idea. The double buddy NK means letting mafia figure out who the buddy pairs are very dangerous. Finding out who the buddyless people are through PR claims are an easy way for them to narrow the list down and get a couple double NKs which could be potentially lethal to our ability to win. I'm in favor of playing the game without a mass claim where we gain little useful info.

Hah! Well, that depends. Do you have any multis that play mafia here under a different name? ;p

[e.m.c^42]

Hm, wonder where bozo went, is he not usually posted at this point in game? Hope he's doing all right.

[BismarckAlive]

should the people in buddy chats claim they are or should we keep that on the DL

Are you suggesting a massclaim or more of a confidant type claim?
By confidant how would we get everyone to speak truthfully or at all to their buddies about their roles?

Donny Dude and Brainbomb high on my initial scum list based on this post.

Yeah, I'm actually every single other player in this game from Chaqa to Brain bomb. Unfortunately from what I can tell the previous pages is a ton of noise and very little signal. I'm curious to see what info people's powers turn up.

I'm new so I'm trying to understand. Why does this make you think this Bismark?

My guess is that he looks at it this way. If you assume the townfolk are truthful you'll have a lot of townspeople giving valuable information to the mafia which will pool it and a lot of unpooled misinformation going to individual townspeople which will prejudice their views and unlike a mass claim which is also stupid doesn't give the entire town a chance to "solve" the game. I tend to agree that it is scummy though if I had to guess one is scum and one is a useful idiot. Which is which I do not know.

[BismarckAlive]

Right, so forcing our PR's to expose themselves (minus a letter for some of them) is worth it for 8 clears and 12 unknowns?

If you're willing to do that, why don't we just no lynch and claim our buddies? Scum can slowly pick off two of us and narrow down the pool that way instead.

Are you serious? why would we prefer scum to kill two townies at a time and give up our shot at lynching scum?

Why not - let a few days run off and remove 3 town pairs. It'll be 8-5 at that point.

Really? Why would this be good for Town? Worcej scum-slipped by following this bait and burying himself with it.
