M55: The Last Party - Game Thread

[Jamiet99uk]

Can you not fuck with the thread title, please? It doesn't seem to have interrupted the Peterbot, but when mods were threatening to ad the [hidden] tag to the thread title several games ago, they stopped short because of concerns that it would screw up the bot's ability to read the game.

I know from extensive experience of doing it that it doesn't cause the Peterbot any problems. The Peterbot tracks the thread ID.

[Jamiet99uk]

Why thank you Jamiet, I was already wondering when you were gonna get involved in this discussion

I was just catching up.

[Vecna]

Feel bad for the little fella, he actually had me fooled he was just poor town, and I was gonna go the distance protecting him lol.

And then he gets caught because he couldnt have possibly know the secretary is usually named differently.

I'm still asking you not to fuck with the thread parameters. You'd be livid if someone did this to a game you were GM'ing.

##VOTE DONNY

Donny, care to weigh in?

No I wouldn't.

The design of the entire forum specifically permits you to change the "Re:" line of every reply. It's a standard feature of the forum.

Please keep your knickers on.

[Vecna]

Hmm, yeah that seems like something that should not be done.

I was even wondering how the f you do that, and then I saw the obvious answer

TIL

[Vecna]

anyways, whatever, boring discussion is boring

SCUMSLIP CAUGHT

SCUMSLIP CAUGHT

I think you're right.

If it's not a scumslip Donny is going to need to produce a pretty damn good explanation of how he just automatically understood a specific version of the "Secretary" role...

[Vecna]

This will make for an excellent edition of

CURRENTLY IN THE MAFIA PT

Where's brainbomb when you need him

(I can already imagine them little daychat critters buzzing really hard to come up with a believable explanation lol)

[Jamiet99uk]

Without going too far down a particular rabbit hole, are there any other unusual or non-standard roles that Worcej has invented or used in the past?

Worcej was my co-GM a few games back but all the roles were of my design (or were standard ones).

[Jamiet99uk]

What's a "PT", Vecna?

[rdrivera2005]

sadly, this means were probably gonna get very little information out of the rest of this day

Probably, if this is a true scumslip and there is a Secretary I am pretty sure he will be just bussed. But we gain the information scum have a day chat (I don't think Donny is the Secretary, he will probably be more cautious).

[Vecna]

It would be really awesome if we caught a real scum PR d1.

The secretary is whatever, I dont care about them having daychat at all

I am coming around on Sarah. I saw noobscum cornered this way in a game I played on Mafia Scum. Sarah seems to be spiralling on her accusers rather than paying attention to any other happenings in-game.

##VOTE Sarah

I really am not seeing what youre seeing. This feels like a typical new town agitation defence.

Im calling this a bad wagon for too surface level where people arent even trying to see how town would also respond in the exact same way.

To provide some context on my Fox-Sarah-Fox activity:

the more I read (past-tense) the thread, the more I saw that every single thing Sarah was posting was defensive. Obviously a newer player can fall into that when they are under scrutiny, but I think if you consider the perspective of the person at the keyboard playing the game, that town person is going to be taking in a lot more information and responding to it in a variety of ways. As scum, though, that person - especially when that person is new and does not understand the way the game and the votes flow and how to redirect scrutiny -may fall into a pattern of behaviour where the only information they can "recognize" is the stuff accusing them. Everything else falls away because they know everyone is town, they don't know how to blend in as town, and so they end up "cornered," fighting for their lives without being able to jump into the perspective of a town player.

I switched my vote back to Fox because Fox came out of nowhere and said I was "too scummy to be scum." I figured Fox was annoyed I already caught him and was trying to see if he could stick the general idea that I am scum, despite having no argument whatsoever as to how I am scum.

From the mafia discord:

Brainbomb: Ok, im gonna start with bussing donnie a bit for later credibility. Ill also buddy foxcastle since all these dumbasses are scumreading him.

Brainbomb: Donnie, if you say the following statements, you can appeal to Vecna and pocket him. He is a sucker for these things. Just say he's obvious town a lot of times.

Brainbomb: Just look at this idiot Vecna. He's scumreading bismarck for some silly reason. I bet he will tunnel him a lot. Let me change my reads and add him to my scum list so we can mislynch him lol.

Brainbomb: Ill just make up some shite wall on Marche to cover up my obvious change. Noone will notice. Town is bad

Donnie has entered the channel

Donnie: Brainbomb help, they caught me referring to our secretary. Apparently this is a scumslip? I dont understand. What do I say?

Brainbomb: Just say you read all the old peterbot entries to become the true mafia sensei that you obviously are.

Jamiet99UK: No, no! Tell them you play on MafiaAnimeHub where secretaries are skimpily dressed little girls that whisper sweet nothings in your ear all day.

Flash: This game is easy. Ill win this by lurking again, just you watch!

[Vecna]

ok, my mafia humor is cringeworthy at best

I think you misinterpreted what I meant, which is that I really didn't like what you were posting (I don't even remember what it was), but as bad as it looked to me, it still doesn't make you scum. I think the way you play and type just rubs me wrong, and I'm being cognizant of that so that I don't start scumreading you for it without actually having a reason.
