Mafia 85: Return from Lockdown

[worcej]

Explain this.

Because he’s figuring out player styles at an impressive level and is not possibly being coached at this point.

He’s firmly in my don’t kill D1 list due to the level of deeper reading I am seeing.

Interesting point about being coached. I don’t see that it was ever specified that there is daychat.

You get a scum point.

Is there a daychat?

That would change my read entirely.

[brainbomb]

worcej I dont know how you could read my posts and come away with that I am provoking Jamie. Im defending my reads and articulating them.

do you see my posts as instigating a conflict?

Well, what did you mean by Frog “not possibly being coached” into his statement on Chaqa?

[sweetandcool]

Okay, had a moment to do a teensy bit of work.

It is true that I did not make my own post as to why I scumread Frog. That is because it would have been redundant because brainbomb already made the post for me and I explicitly and emphatically agreed with him.

It is easy to see in my ISO, literally the first post I made before voting Frog seriously.

Okay, you are saying you are sheeping brain and BK3K onto Frog, because Frog reminds you of some player named Xcution from a different game of Mafia?

It's a poor way to put it, but close enough.

I think you misread that.

News Host

You are the News Host. You perform investigative journalism and then tell everyone your target's return on your breakfast news show. Responsible journalistic practices prevent you from revealing the name of your source. You return "success" or "failure", as appropriate.

##CALL GM

Does this mean that the GM will post “Your target’s return” at the start of day? If so does the GM post the name of the target? The name of the news host?

"Return" means the message the target recieved.

[foodcoats]

Also, I agree with the general idea that we should massclaim targets and results at start of Day 2. Obviously scum will try to manipulate the situation, but it’s effectively impossible for town to meaningfully use the results of our actions without mass claiming and trying to solve the puzzle. There is way too much ambiguity in the results you can get without getting input on all the moving parts. Not claiming is effectively throwing away all our powers.

Your continued presence on the surface of the Earth is a provocation by God.

(I'm joking).

I know. I’m wondering if it’s like…

Good morning! Success!
Good morning! Mailman!
Good morning! JamieT!

Or something more.

Unless something of note happens:

##VOTE FROGSTER

Sorry. I have confirmation that my suspicions of you are, in fact, valid, and I’m not being an idiot

Whoah...what confirmation?

I felt that Frogster was trying to direct the thread toward meaningless topics.

[JustAGuyNamedWill]

I think worcej is town

I think nepthys is town

Justaguy is town I think

Chaqa is town I think

Ifischl,

Can you two skim the thread and give any quick impressions you get? Sorry I don't actually know the answer to your question.

I don't like ignoring people, but I didn't want to answer his question. So I threw in my most salient thoughts at that moment, just to sweeten my response.

Okay this slot might be +town

Let's talk about something else.

I believe we have three brand new players. Welcome to them.

I think this is +town

Im not saying people dont play this way. I see it alot from town players on forums like mafiauniverse. But this is also a really easy thing to do to look like town. Iit requires no detail or explanations, and no one even asked him why on these

This is quite suspicious. I didn’t even realize he did it 5+ times.

Whoah...what confirmation?

Will loves to sheep. So when other players make a vote it confirms to him that there is a good reason to make that vote as well.

Usually I would take this as an insult, but I find many things about many players supicious, and I want others to feel the same way before I vote someone

It's not an insult, just something I've observed. Super frustrating when town and getting voted for by Will, but sheeping isn't necessarily bad by any means.

Correlation does not equal confirmation.

##CALL GM

Is the mafia Discord open for posting during day phase? (The link to the “standard rules” is broken and it is not mentioned anywhere in the write up.)

[JustAGuyNamedWill]

Okay for sure we should not kill Frog

Explain this.

Because he’s figuring out player styles at an impressive level and is not possibly being coached at this point.

He’s firmly in my don’t kill D1 list due to the level of deeper reading I am seeing.

To be fair, worcej, he has posted a LOT of reads that are unconfirmed

##CALL GM any word from babyspice? I saw her on the forum at one point but may not have found the game thread? Maybe she only saw the signups?

[JustAGuyNamedWill]

Girls have coooooties!

Worcej can you provide examples of the deeper level reading?
