M1020 — Speed Run Mafia GAME THREAD [HIDDEN]

[Squigs44]

Squigs any reason you shifted focus from Bona to snowy now?

This post explains it I think:

As for my thoughts on Bona now, I certainly haven't seen anything that convinces me Bona is town, but with input from Ghug and Sabi I might have to accept that my feelings towards Bona are mostly NAI and I'm gonna have to start looking at other players as well to get a better picture

In general tunneling too much is just bad play, I like to interact with at least half the player base in a dayphase if I can

[BesharamSabi]

How many teammates do you have Sabi?

@Sabi you haven't answered this.

I have 8-9 teammates : )

Noted. His discomfort and inability to give an answer is odd and sus.

Thank you for doing this. Helps my analysis.

Okay, essay question for you Sabi:

In 3 pages or less, please compare and contrast the many posts containing naked votes and the many reactions to those naked votes. Consider why certain players haven't provided reasoning with their votes, why some naked votes have received more attention to others, and what these interactions tell us about player alignment.

Okay, please don't actually write an essay because I'll probably be the only one to enjoy it, but a tldr version of this could be interesting if you are looking to kill time

Other questions you could answer:
Who in the game do you think is most deserving of the title "useless town". Someone who isn't really helping but is probably not mafia.

How should we deal with the lurkers?

If you had to flip one person right now purely for info and not alignment, whose flip do you think gives the most info?

[BesharamSabi]

Does the Peter bot direct you instantly to the comment where people voted? Will need to know that for my essay otherwise I'm combing through 30 pages.

It does! Click the vote hyperlink in blue

[ghug]

How is this 28 pages long already?

Because Sabi is asking lots of silly hypothetical questions. It's either tryharding or cover for having drawn scum for the first time.

Which do you think is more likely?

[ghug]

From M69:

Ghug saying scum Bona knows people like him [ghug] will defend him [bona].
Bona using a quote from ghug to try to defend himself this game.

Isn't this actually celaph using a ghug quote to illuminate Bona's question?

Bona invoked the quote.

[ghug]

Looked like a crosspost between them to me

^. There are 4 seconds between their posts. Very likely crosspost.

How do you tell post seconds?

They have unix timestamps. It gets populated when you go to quote, but there's probably a nicer way too.

[ghug]

Snowy you're great at asking questions but you're terrible at answering them

Welcome to snowy.

[snowy801]

How dare you I'm great at answering questions
When I want to

Actually I was curious about this, so I found a setting that I added a custom format to just now and now I can see seconds.

For those that also want this, click on your name to get to your forum profile, then click the Edit Profile link. Go to board preferences and change your Date Format to custom. Then put this in the box "D M d, Y g:i:s a", or change it to whatever you want and make sure you have the s for seconds.

Amazing

(also took the time to actually fix my time zone)

For Squigs essay question found here (viewtopic.php?p=273473#p273473)

I will analyze each players votes one by one to help compare and contrast why. This will go in alphabetical order because peterbot so please don't analyze my order. Going to split this into 4 parts (3 players each) so that it's not a giant wall of text.

PART ONE OF FOUR

BONA

My sweet reactionary adopt cat boy son, you have only recorded two votes at the time of me writing this. Let's look into these two votes shall we.

##VOTE celaph

##vote ghug

First vote was on the first page. Obviously this is a joke vote and there isn't much to analyze so far with this one vote. I do want to know why vote ghug when he was just joke voting for celaph? Why not join the wagon?

celaph is officially not on the same team as me

Choo choo #VOTE celaph

choo choo

##vote celaph

This is your second vote on page 13. It seems odd that you now join the celaph wagon when Bo started it but not when Ghug did. Any reason why? I guess I could count this under joke vote as well. Bona sometimes it's hard to analyze yiu because you're a kid.

Bozotheclown

You have barely posted/mainly lurked and I have been compared to you already so let's see your votes. Only two votes so far at the time of me writing this.

forst

This post is a strong indication that Bonatogether is mafia.


##VOTE Bonatogether

This is an obvious joke vote since it was on the first page. Going to disregard analyzing this because it's the cotton candy of votes.

##VOTE Squigs

This is your second vote on page 27. There was no post before this that gave an indication on why you think Squigs is scum besides this comment on page 26:

My early prediction of the scum team is celaph/damo/Squigs (and ghug if there are 4 scum).

You didn't explain the logic or reasoning behind this conclusion. You only have four post so it's rather difficult to read you. If you could stop lurking and expand on your vote on Squigs and not voting for the other two people you suspect and the reasoning behind all of this it would be greatly appreciated.

bo_sox48

Howdy, you only have one valid vote at the time of me writing this. Not much to analyze about you as person besides you inability and stubbornness to directly answer questions.

hi

yo

##VOTE Bonatogether

This is his first and only vote. It was on page 11. Obviously a joke vote which makes no sense. Doesn't expand on why he did this and said voting for bona isn't cringe on page 12.

What is odd tho that when I was combing through his posts he had an invalid vote on celaph on page 13 noted here:

celaph is officially not on the same team as me

Choo choo #VOTE celaph

As you remember from above that Bona used this post to vote for celaph. Was this on purpose invalid vote or an accident? Bo could you please let us know because this seems awfully suspect to do this.

I have a stinking cold and work today was hard. I am now trying to catch up. Thoughts as I have them.

[Jamiet99uk]

Wait, what? Isn't there going to be a new thread? Ok well here I am.

Here I was.

Goodnight.

It appears for some reason I thought the game had started in the sign-up thread. I am not sure what caused me to think that. Never mind.

[Jamiet99uk]

Wait, what? Isn't there going to be a new thread? Ok well here I am.

Here I was.

Goodnight.

Jamie respond if you are town.

Hello, I'm town.

[Jamiet99uk]

wait ##callgm how many mafia are there? setup just says 3 or 4

3-4

That's minus one. Hooray, we've already won. GG.

[Jamiet99uk]

Good night.

Respond if you're town.

What's the point of these "do xx if you're town" posts?

Not actually useful.

[Jamiet99uk]

Bona how do you feel about your role? Was it something you wanted?

This is a 100% vanilla game. This question is not useful.
