Re: M1010 Mini-Mafia
I do not particularly like playing scum. I like to solve and engage with people and banter, and—as I have been trying to impart—playing scum demands too much care and concern for your appearance.
However, I find scum games less frustrating, because I can be lazy, whereas if I want to actually try to play games as town, it backfires and I end up looking scummy.
Re: M1010 Mini-Mafia
It's not too philosophical. You are obviously not enjoying yourself right now, so if you are like me it suggests you are scum.

I read it nearly the exact opposite, as having refuted the point you made when your post showed up after mine.xorxes wrote: ↑Mon Apr 13, 2020 8:28 pmAlmost an implicit confession, instead of the meaningless explicit one.Foxcastle wrote: ↑Mon Apr 13, 2020 8:23 pmInteresting crosspost...Foxcastle wrote: ↑Mon Apr 13, 2020 8:22 pm

Re: M1010 Mini-Mafia
You never addressed how you thought I could be misreading the game and be scum. Have you incorrect reads of rdrivera and Jamie not caused you to reassess your read of me?worcej wrote: ↑Sat Apr 11, 2020 6:14 amYeah, your scum ass.bozotheclown wrote: ↑Sat Apr 11, 2020 6:12 amIf you are town, one of us is significantly misreading the game.worcej wrote: ↑Sat Apr 11, 2020 6:09 amGoing to bed, in case I don’t live - look at rdr and bozo. I have been preaching this from the moon and back, maybe someone might listen.
Damo seems off as well. I didn’t like the comment that bo was pushing for a mislynch. I feel like I am seeing more words in his posts than I am used to.
Not sure on Brain - I think he falls into frustrated town but if he is scum, we really all suck for giving him a pass this long after his weird claims.
Jamie / xorxes / Fox are my towncore atm. Emc and sarah need to do more, cannot really place them well and their contributions are lackluster.
Re: M1010 Mini-Mafia
So you're saying you don't like playing as scum but you enjoy it more, and you like playing as town but you don't enjoy it?
I'm slightly confused. Some variety of masochism?
Re: M1010 Mini-Mafia
More like misplaced hope.
I do not like playing as scum as much, but it is less frustrating.
I enjoy playing as town, but it is more frustrating.
I am frustrated. Ergo.
Re: M1010 Mini-Mafia
Using your own words a little bit: If he turns out to be town this game, why do you think he has played a bad game?bozotheclown wrote: ↑Mon Apr 13, 2020 8:07 pmCan you be more specific?worcej wrote: ↑Mon Apr 13, 2020 8:07 pmWhy?bozotheclown wrote: ↑Mon Apr 13, 2020 8:05 pm
I do not believe he thinks he was bad as town in M54, and I do not think he was bad at town. The only reason he was a lynch target by D5 was that he had bad luck ending on emc instead of Bob D3. If he turns out to be town this game, I will agree he has not played a good town game.
Re: M1010 Mini-Mafia

Re: M1010 Mini-Mafia
OK. Can you continue reducing your scum pairs? That seems like a more productive thing to do if you are town.Foxcastle wrote: ↑Mon Apr 13, 2020 8:37 pmMore like misplaced hope.

JAMIE P6

Conclusion here is that Jamie was abnormally concerned about Sarah not showing up. This strikes me as wolf worried about a fellow wolf. whereas jamies treatment of me was demonstrably looking for a way to piggy back off of damos read on me.
■Why cant Jamie just genuinely be concerned Sarah may not show up, meaning Sarah was town and Jamie really just wants a fair game?
This is certainly possible.
he then asks if fox is drunk
it would appear jamie is attempting to slander or discredit fox to give sarahs push some validity. if anyone has a different interpretation im all ears.
Pages 7-11 the only ppl who speak are emc, myself, xorxes, bunnygo. xorxes spends 3 pages arguing with bunny about why bunny is acting too disciplined.I'm going to go to sleep.
I hope our newbie shows up. I'm slightly concerned that "Sarah" only joined the site a couple of weeks ago and just signed up to Mafia at the last moment. After Pjandy last time, I hope we don't get another newb absentee. Not sure if people reaching out to the newb with "oh here's some super helpful advice" before they even post for the first time are earnestly helpful or trying to earn townie brownie points.
Oh well hopefully by the time I wake up and check back here there will be something more interesting to talk about.
JAMIE P11
JAMIE P11Hello friends.
I have caught up since my last post and I have a few observations to make.
First of all, it appears we have town Xorxes on our side. Rejoice! I hope he catches some scum while he lives.
Jamie decides he is okay with my vengeful questionare and volunteers me to die first.What is the point of this question?
The Vengeful is town. His/her only power is to be able to hit a revenge kill. That benefits town if it hits scum. If it hits town, on the same night there is a successful NK, then three townies have died in exchange for zero Mafia deaths.
If you are town, why on Earth would you be happy with that happening?
Is this some kind of WIFOM scum double-bluff logic, "if I say I want the Vengeful to target me, then he will assume I am a VT so he won't kill me"??
Suicide pact? Sure! You go first.
Jamie agrees with damo that my questionare poll was to out catch vt claims and out PRs. Jamie shades me publicly.
Vanilla Townies are more likely to be comfortable with dying if their death might be informative, or if their death prevents the death of a town PR. It's often said that VTs should not be afraid to die (which I'm not sure I always agree with).
My initial instinct was that Brainbomb was fishing for VT claims which is a very scummy thing to do.
Anyone want to give a town justification for Brainbomb's little poll?
Jamie is back to keen concern sarah may not show up.
CALL GM
I am concerned that our brand new player may not show up.
Do you have any subs available, and can you check if SarahK has read the role PM? (I don't expect a public answer to the second question).
And back to wanting a reason to lynch me.##VOTE BRAINBOMB
Let's find out what his alignment is.
He is apparently happy to die.
Conclusion here is that Jamie was abnormally concerned about Sarah not showing up. This strikes me as wolf worried about a fellow wolf. whereas jamies treatment of me was demonstrably looking for a way to piggy back off of damos read on me.
■Why cant Jamie just genuinely be concerned Sarah may not show up, meaning Sarah was town and Jamie really just wants a fair game?

Hi Sarah,
You have to actually name the person you are voting for.
Here, try typing "##Vote Brainbomb".
That's how it works.
It helps if you tell us why you are voting for a particular person.
What have you noticed about Foxcastle so far?
Jamie hand holds sarah. then seemingly is ecstatic fox is being scummy. but this may also be jamie mocking both sarah and fox.its hard to tell.HE IS PLANNING SOMETHING!
SARAH HAS CAUGHT HIM!
Jamie reacts to fox wanting to end hammerWhat the fuck is going on here?
No we should not end.
he then asks if fox is drunk
it would appear jamie is attempting to slander or discredit fox to give sarahs push some validity. if anyone has a different interpretation im all ears.
Re: M1010 Mini-Mafia
P43 Jamie gets angry when I surmise he is scum with Sarah.
he posts a wall of EMC posts and yells at me saying
he posts a wall of EMC posts and yells at me saying
Jamie shows here he isnt afraid to mock my reads and use full TMI.
So, according to your logic, EMC, Bunny, Kgray and Bo_Sox are also all 100% scum, isn't that correct
Re: M1010 Mini-Mafia
I'll remove Bozo and Damo. On D2, they both sat on Bo_Sox from the start and didn't move. I would think they would want to put more distance in between them. Less strong, but in the same vein, they both landed on Jamiet pretty close to eachother on D3, they voted within 35 minutes of eachother (with Xorxes voting Jamiet in between them).
Remaining
Bozo + Brain
Brain + SarahK
Brain + Worcej
Damo + SarahK
Damo + Worcej
Remaining
Bozo + Brain

Re: M1010 Mini-Mafia
This is where I am at the moment:
brain: town (Interactions with Jamiet, very hard to read as SvS)
damo: town (exchanges with Jamiet + votes)
That leaves:
bozo
Fox
Sarah
worcej
bozo can't be scum with worcej or Fox, so the only possibility left there is bozo-Sarah.
I used to believe worcej-Sarah was impossible because of the way worcej treated Sarah, and I think it still holds. I need to refresh that though.
Sarah-Fox seems unlikely as well because of Sarah's opening vote. Not ruling it out, but low likelihood.
And that gets us to Fox-worcej.
@Fox, @worcej: is there any reason you can give me that suggests you are not teammates? (or if anyone else has a good reason)
Also, for me to believe you are town, I have to believe that the team is bozo-Sarah.
I don't think I will be able to sort Sarah this game. I have tried and tried but she is not cooperating. I can't even scumread her for that (only valid for this game, if she flips scum she won't get away with it ever again).
So in order to decide if it is bozo-Sarah I need to sort bozo, which I haven't done yet. I'm leaning town, but I'm not all the way there like with brain and damo.
If I'm correct, game is solved for me anyway, because we have a mislynch, and my only two remaining pairs seem to be Fox-worcej or bozo-Sarah.
I will ##VOTE worcej to start with.
I could change to Fox though.
I'm open to hear a case on bozo and/or Sarah as well, but I feel more confident in worcej-Fox for now.

Re: M1010 Mini-Mafia
I fail to understand why he says this to a scum partner howeverHi Sarah,
I usually care very little about Brainbomb scumreading me, because Brainbomb has declared me to be his top scumread, at some point during the game, in every game we have ever been in together. I *respond* to Brainbomb scumreading me, and it sometimes *annoys* me, but I don't take it particularly seriously because he does it. Every. Bloody. Time.
You will learn to understand, and perhaps eventually tolerate, what Brainbomb is like, if you're here long enough. Oh, the joy.
Re: M1010 Mini-Mafia
jamie wants to lynch me multiple times but wants sarah to tolerate me. so the confusion lies herein.
