MAFIA 52: You Can't Take The Sky From Me [HIDDEN]

[Kitsune]

I am sure this has been asked, would we have found out if Flavius was a backup?

This is a worthwhile question.

##CALL GM - if Flavius was a backup, would this have been declared when he flipped VT?

Yes.

[Jamiet99uk]

Thanks GM.

Well that's a small mercy, at least you muppets didn't lynch one of our backups.

[Temasek22]

##FollowupCall: Are the different levels of violation in reference to which instance of infraction it is, or are there multiple different levels of possible violations? i.e.:

could a level 1 be a small error, and a level 2 a large one?

or

is level 1 - first time
level 2 - second time

etc.

This information about the Reaver Communication Restrictions is part of the closed area of this semi-open setup.

Huh, that's interesting.

[Temasek22]

Sorry guys I cant keep up and I have no idea what 80% of the verbiage you guys are using. I dont even know what scum is, nonetheless vt massclaim etc. I'm used to just the basics in person so this might all be too advanced for me. It's a bad feeling to read for 30 minutes and still be lost. Kitsune is gonna look for a sub. I'll struggle through the best I can.

That stinks. I'm curious what your F2F experience is like, for me it's always been:

"I heard them making noise during the night"

"They were giggling!"

"They're too loud/quiet/etc"

Honestly F2F mafia has never been that fun to me.

Same-same. Although my play group policy lynches Hosu every time we play because of how often he rolls scum.

Scum survey (pick 4):
Chaqa
emc
bozo
Temasek
ND
peterlund
Superstition
Foxcastle

bozo: ND, peterlund, Superstition, Foxcastle
goldfinger: peterlund, Superstition, emc, bozo
ND: Superstition, Chaqa, ?, ?
Temasek: emc, peterlund, Superstition, Foxcastle
Chaqa: ND, peterlund, Temasek, Superstition
dargorygel: peterlund, emc, Superstition, bozo
worcej: bozo, peterlund, Superstition, Foxcastle
rdrivera: peterlund, ND, Temasek, bozo

Thinking out loud: Chaqa scarily horrible this game. I truly can't conceive of him being town and playing this way. The only thing that comes to mind is he's so on tilt from ND, but I just don't get it.

EMC: has seemed off all game. Maybe voting early triggered something?

Bozo: Seems like everything he does is scummy. Sadly for him it's run of the mill. That said, pretty scummy.

Temasek: Has he posted? There's been so much noise this game, I've barely noticed. Thanks xorxes!

ND: An ass, but an ass with purpose. Could be anything, but nothing scummy yet.

Peterlund: Like ND but not an ass.

Superstition: A noob. But hard to say anything much about.

Foxcastle (Vecna slot): Hi! Welcome to the game. I have no read.

So if I must pick 4 from those gut reactions, I guess it'll be Boso, EMC, Chaqa, and...who knows, could be any of the others.

"Has he posted?"

I had 35 posts averaging 30 words each...

[Jamiet99uk]

@BunnyGo: Using specifics, can you explain why you scumread Chaqa so strongly?

[peterlund]

OK! I have a hypothesis about the reavers with a confirmed hit on a candidate. Could everyone who has claimed PR please post an @ symbol?

Thank you!

And yes...maybe you'll find my reaver candidate too...he's posted it just once, shortly before the announcement, and by accident as it was in a quote.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

@BunnyGo - I can post any character you want, but I really don't think this will be the press restriction. And it's really hard to discover with the info we have But if you have time, go ahead.

[peterlund]

Mainly out of curiosity, what have I done that makes you think I'm not town? I feel like every thing I've done has been pretty straightforward.

You jumped onto the mass-claim to fast and eagorly, despite initially being hesitant, but was fast to change your mind...

[peterlund]

I was looking forward to a nice holiday mafia game, but that wish was destroyed by "nitwits" (as ND puts it so elegantly) like Xorxes, Bozo, Tom, turning it all into a fools game.

I would like to "checkout" by continue as a lurk until I die, but I do have a responsibility to town not to, since I have a powerful role, so I participate a while longer.

I am JAYNE COBB, the HERO OF MUDTOWN. (the town vig)

I will select the first target myself. And if I am lucky hitting anyone out of town, I will get another shot. I will not shoot ND who seems to be one of the few sane people around here.

Now when Xorxes has been GM confirmed Captain, I am shooting Tom in order to confirm my role. The order has been PMed to the GM to be executed 7 hours before this current deadline (today 11 am EDT (NY time)).

I selected Tom because he was so eager on the mass-claim idea. That surprised me. And then he was hard on sheeping and budding Xorx when he claimed Captain. He is a low poster and he did not even bother to explain stuff and did not try to make sence to me or anyone else. No energy to do anything much. I was expecting a lot more from town Tom. Scum play it seems to me.

I was selecting between Bozo and Tom. Bozo really behaves like scum, but I concluded that the likelyhood of hitting scum was even higher with Tom. If the Captain asks me, I would contemplate to change the order to kill Bozo instead.

[xorxes]

Chaqa, e.m.c, Peterlund, Bozo (potentially replaced by Super, but giving him townpoints for actually wanting to leave... I had a rough first 1-4 games myself).

Wouldn't BH or RP be much more stressful for a new player, having to play against everyone, with no teammates? Or being part of a small Mafia team and not knowing what to do with a massclaim? How is being an expendable VT something that would make you want to leave? If you base your read on him wanting to leave, it seems that your conclusion is the least likely.

Hell @anyone else too. I wanna test this.

But mostly @youKnowWhoYouAre...

You want to test if I'm the Reaver?

[Tom Bombadil]

Like I don’t know how to combat town players shooting PRs after a mass claim. peter - the mass claim is good for town. That is why people were worried about a mass claim breaking the game. I don’t know what else to tell you

[BunnyGo]

@BunnyGo: I am h@ppy to confirm my @bility to use the @ symbol.

Other symbols on my keyboard include ' # ~ / ? \ | + = - _ ` ¬ ¦ ! " £ $ % ^ & * ( and ).

Excellent. But can you quote them? I realized that I added to the hypothesis more than what I saw. I saw an issue posting a quote with an @ symbol. As to your question about chaqa: I do t strongly scum read him. I strongly scum read anyone because the whole day was about xorxes and I’ve been hunting reavers. But since bozo wanted my reads on those people, I did them just free flow gut reaction.

Are you insane? Don’t shoot in the PR list, that’s at best a 2/11 chance. Shoot in the VT/non-claimants!

Do you WANT to throw this game to the mafias?

Was just getting people’s attention. After sleeping I think I should modify the hypothesis to be “quote an @“

It’s almost like *gasp* sometimes PRs want to fly under the radar!
