MAFIA 77: RETURN TO THE WEST [GAME THREAD] - [HIDDEN]

[Hamilton Brian]

Pardon my formatting; I did this on a google doc so it might not be seamless. I'll try to make sure the post is clear.

Voting Tracker Day 1
At 4:56 remaining, Bunny moves from Chaqa to Pyxxy

At 4:47 pyxxy moves to Bunny as first vote making it tied:
2 lfischl, 2 worcej, 2 bunny, 1 hamilton

Worcej to ghug, still 2, 2, 2, 1

3:13, bozo moves from Koala to pyxxy
2 pyxxy, 2 lfischl, 2 worcej, 2 bunny (4 tied wagons) (Bozo effectively brings pyxxy along)

3:02 Chaqa moves to ghug from worcej to then make it
2 pyxxy, 2 lfischl, 2ghug, 2 bunny (static votes, no real movement)

2:22 Rivera votes for first time for Damo

2:10 Yav votes from Hamilton to Damo
2 Damo, 2 pyxxy, 2 lfischl, 2 ghug, 2 Bunny

1:44 Chaqa moves from ghug to worcej
2 Damo, 2 pyxxy, 2 ilfischl, 2 worcej (ease up on ghug, worcej now in the mix)

1:21 I move from ilfischl to pyxxy (this really looks bad on me because it puts pyxxy in the lead)
3 pyxxy, 2 damo, 2 worcej, 2 bunny

0:37 ilfischl votes first vote for worcej (There’s the vaunted FIRST VOTE Chaqa alluded to)
3 pyxxy, 3 worcej, 2 damo, 2 bunny (How big of a tie is this? Is this now TvM or still TvT)

0:20 bo moves from lfischl to pyxxy (Bo kills the tie, but still 20 minutes left)
4 pyxxy, 3 worcej, 2 damo, 2 bunny

0:02 yav moves from damo to pyxxy (but this doesn’t alter outcome)
5 pyxxy, 3 worcej, 2 bunny, 1 ghug (makes worcej out of reach)

[Hamilton Brian]

And with that, I am stepping away. My wife doesn't get home until Sunday/Monday and I have been living my best bachelor life for the past week. Shit has got to get done around here before she walks through the door.

[ghug]

Well fuck, work got busy.

Told y'all pyxxy was town

[ghug]

Who wants to flash wagon Bo for fun

Aw man

[ghug]

Damo was pretty active early and hasn't been on in several hours after saying he had "pub poker tonight" and wouldn't be on for EON. I don't know why you consider him "checked out" when he told you a long time ago he wasn't going to be here tonight.

Worcej and Bunny are both active, which is a plus on Day 1 even if I don't think either of them are amazingly townie at this point. Given how dead this EOD is I'm really against killing active people.

Pyxxy is a lurker that has done nothing to my eye other than briefly shitpost with me and try, without really trying that hard, to place a scumread on Chaqa. And then vote for Bunny. It's lackadaisical and kinda scummy, and he's a lurker. A+ day 1 kill.

Super lame post from bo.

[ghug]

Kill me if you want. I'm not gonna tie to save myself.

Ok I forgive you all for killing him.

[ghug]

Can I make the jump in logic that...all participants on the pyxxy wagon were town? Without going back over the vote movement, pyxxy wagon formed rather earlyish(?) and others developed around it.

There wasn't really another wagon that was in danger, making it easier for mafia to just hang out and watch it all happen?

And mafia couldn't have been some of those early movers?

That's quite a bold conclusion to draw from a pretty lackluster EoD.

[ghug]

I still think ghug's assessment on pyxxy was flawed but more about that later.

I just now caught the "Chaqa J has been consistently..."

In the forum, with my failing eyes it really looked like the letter I. And someone else used one of those letters. Just caught it on the bot.

You can think my analysis was flawed, but it was a weak gut read and it turned out to be correct, so you're either going to have to live with my unparalleled awesomeness or tell us why I was intentionally giving a flawed townread on a townie as scum.

What do you make of the J?

##VOTE KoalaAttack

You did not answer one of my questions, and I was wondering if it was deliberate.

Which questions?


##VOTE bozotheclown

For being a koala-killer – see above post, Google photos of koalas, look at them, now imagine somoene killing one... whoever kills one has no soul, and therefore is Mafia

Also for a super vague reference to "one of the questions" without a link to confirm it exists and give me a chance to rectify. Suspicious.

I only asked 2 questions, you answered the first, here was the second:

Nope, starting with a blank slate.

Did you have any trouble finding the game thread?

Ah, I see! Apologies, the answer is "no" and I though it was implied by the rest. Thanks for asking though.

To elaborate, how the game goes is clear to me now – but I do have trouble keeping up with myriads of posts throughout the day (working, meetings, etc) ... and when I come back to a dozen pages of posts, I end up skimming quickly and might miss things. I love the http://mafia.peterlund.se page it helps a ton to catch up on key actions. But I wish there was like "a summary of quotes of your posts or mentions of your name" :) ... Either way, thank you to whomever coded that thing up!

I'm also not sure what's best to do in the situation where the day ends while I'm in meetings. For instance, you addressed my suspicion and I would have changed the vote away from you, but I wasn't here.

So I guess here is a PSA on myself: I catch up maybe a couple times a day, so if I don't respond for a while it's simply NAI for real life reasons.

Being here for EoD could be especially important once we get to small numbers and narrow margins, even if it's just reading the current page and dropping a vote, but I'd advise just prioritizing keeping up with the thread and interacting with people wherever you can for now.

[Chaqa]

I feel like we should revisit worcej in the future

Is this simply because I am making fun of you for last game? Because your participation in this game has almost exclusively been to just kill me.

You've made fun of me?

[Chaqa]

Is the J, like the I left on Balki earlier, not just a bad copy/paste from ghug's list earlier?

[KoalaAttack]

I find this more off-putting than probably anyone else here - but this just seems too over the top for my liking.

Don't kill the new guy D1...I don't care if he asks "what does it mean when my PM tells me who all my teammates are, doesn't that make the game easy?"

Everyone assumes I am saying we should kill someone when I point at something negative from a player...

Just saying it was a little much and makes me go

Haha, I have two thoughts:

(1) You actually read the koala guilt-trip post as serious? Even after I explicitly announced I'll be role-playing a koala? Suspicious.

(2) I appreciate the sentiment to now kill the newbie on day 1. But holy crap, there are a lot of posts to go through. I don't mind if y'all kill me early, there is a small chance I might have bitten off more than I can chew given the sheer volume of posts on here coupled with the seeming expectaion of folks to stay really on top of them all!

PS: But if you do, you will still live the rest of your life knowing you are a koala-killer.

Why not let Brian answer?

Fewer excuses and apologies, more thoughts!

(I know it's hard, we're all insane.)

I'm trying re more thoughts. I thought that (1) was a thought, pun intended – someone reading an obvious joke post seriously is suspicious. I stand by that.

And there were no apologies. Not sure there is anything to apologize for?

I dunno

I found out I qualify for Italian dual citizenship, so I'm gonna try to get that and my gf and I might go visit to see if we want to expat lol

I've got the Irish connection and I've played with that idea on occasion.

You'd make way less money and nobody would speak English, though.
