MAFIA LVIII (58) - WITCHFINDER GENERAL - GAME THREAD

[Vecna]

Durga, you said I was trying to look useful and still haven't explained how.

Persistence to the Ghug. Actual interest in sorting?

It is somewhat interesting how Ghug and Durga have been fascinated by eachother. But then again...

[Vecna]

No I dont really think so. As long as I dont lurk im unlynchable as long as im actually town, and my weird charm somehow always makes everyone just townread me.

Watch. People will think its adorable as fuck.

Agh, I was just about to post that I loved the comment and then I read this and now I feel so predictable. Damn it

Stop trying to pocket me, silly kangaroo

[Vecna]

Durga, you said I was trying to look useful and still haven't explained how.

Last game you did nothing but shit post and ask people luke warm questions and I feel like you actively attempted to contribute with that post

dont miss out on the opportunity to ask what post ghuggles

[Vecna]

Had you even read that post when you first said that?

hmm-hmm

[Vecna]

My only town read so far is Vecna. Let's go people!!!

Aww, my massive word wall didn't move the needle at all?

This post is cute. Worcej is being so cute.

Im just going to ignore the fact Worcej is normally not a cute player and TR him.

[Vecna]

My only town read so far is Vecna. Let's go people!!!

What makes you townread Venca?

This is the second or third time you ask people about me. Do I need to go outside and check my bushes?

Youre free to spit your own opinion. In fact, im rather curious now.

[Vecna]

He speaks sense and I like that.
+ him trying to get people to actually engage
+ his push on foxy knoxy

Ok thanks, I had the opposite feeling but couldn’t remember what it was that made me feel that way. I may need to read a couple pages again.

Once you figure it out lmk, I think I use rose coloured glasses with Vecna and I've never played a game with him as scum

Im a reverse Rdrivera. It just doesnt happen.

[damo666]

I believe we are. I dislike how you've been one of the drivers of the mechanics focus, but you're incredibly towny in the way you have been doing it.

So let me continue my content generation: Damo, who do you think is being scummy right now?

Nobody being particularly scummy but I have the following observations:

Bismarck needs to comply.

Bunny needs to explain his absence after the big entrance, also to a lesser extent summit.

Bo needs to turn up

Bozo, Durga, Flash, Fox, ghug, rdr, TrPrado and Vecna are all playing as per meta. Of these I townread Fox the most and Vecna/TrPrado the least but nothing major.

Seth, HB & HR seem Ok

Sarah absent thus far - no surprise there.

Yoyo I have the most doubts about. I sense a cageyness about the way he is posting.

Why is Sarah's absence no surprise? Is this their first game?

She's done it before. No.

Sarahk24, Flash2015, Hamilton Brian, BismarckAlive and Bo_Sox have yet to meet the posting requirements.

[damo666]

What the F**K is wrong with this group? I decide, "No, Bunny. Don't 'tryhard' again in public; tryhard on the inside. And don't filibuster the crowd by posting 20 pages on Day 1 by yourself. Just clear out the mech talk so they can be done with it and start playing. And then sit back and watch for a bit." And what happens?! YOU MORONS TALK MECH FOR A WHILE AND DON'T EVEN MANAGE TO DO THE MINIMUM OF TURNING A SHIT PR INTO A SLIGHTLY LESS SHIT PR.

Is this really any different to normal? Half of the last (full) game's D1 was mech-talk too, and that had far less wacky mechanics. And the one before was even worse with the massclaim.


This is all pretty par for the course. Nobody does anything til the last 12 hours finally begin to focus a few minds.

Well said.

[damo666]

Agree with Vecna here, both that it's NAI and that it highjacked the thread, but don't know what could have been done differently since it was suggested.

I think we need to move on.

Bozo idea isn't bad if everybody really post the hypos,but we need at least a good amount of people agreeing on it and also actually posting it close to EON for it work and not backfire. Not sure it's worth the risk

Definitely not worth the risk imo.

The Weak Doctor, if there is one, can basically get a cop scan in each night if he can make his reports available without giving himself away. I think the hypo claims would give him the best chance of sharing his reports without getting identified right away, maximizing the number of scans he can perform.

What level of participation would you say
a) is optimal
b) the minimum required
c) will actually happen?

Lets push Yoyo together. Why do HR/Seth/HB all seem ok though? How are they better than Bunny for example?

Ok as in unsatisfactory. Bunny had absence to explain.

While there are non compliers my vote will be there. Currently Bismarck and Bo with Sarah silent.

I reckon lots of those not having fulfilled posting requirements think it's 2 posts rather than 4. I hope this isn't gonna get derailed my mass mod kill.

This is why it is important to read the set up. I just don't understand why anyone would have the arrogance to assume they didn't need to.

So, some thoughts:

It's unlike Damo to play like this. I don't read him as bored!Damo (which is often scum!Damo) but I don't town read him yet.

Worcej is smarter than his first few posts. Usually he and I are on the same page right away. I don't know this worcej.

Durga? Make our shit lie detector less shit. You're a barrister, or solicitor, or some kinda legal person. Stop mucking about so we can move on.

Ghug. I dunno. He's not done much.

Vecna. What are you doing? This is not town!vecna.

Bozo. Hard to say, but hasn't done anything scummy yet. But his mech ideas are all lousy, so he's probably town from that.

##Vote Durga

this is all fake

##vote bunnygo

[BunnyGo]

See @Durga?

[Vecna]

But, Vecna as the crazed veteran on the island was all over the f**king place. Had a different half baked idea every other post, and didn't seem to know what to think.

The last time Vecna and I were the last 2 town at KiLo, he was demur and confused.

Vecna was the best town player on this website when I used to play here. I'm shocked he's been so useless the past 10 games.

Fixed your post.

2 games maybe. And it was my fault you got outplayed that badly by the last remaining scum that game? the entire playerlist scumread you and townread the other slot. introspection over blaming others is a thing.

[Vecna]

Today I saw a little worm wriggling on his belly
Perhaps he'd like to come inside and see what's on the telly

best post of the game

Umm, yes. I'd just subbed in. And your comment that game was something like "I don't care if Bunny is town, I'm not letting scum Bunny fool me again."

[Vecna]

Ghug are you voting me in an attempt to replicate your town game from last time or are you that obsessed with me

Doesn't he always vote for you D1?

I think Durga ignored this so I will follow up. Based on my review of past games, ghug almost always votes for Durga early D1, so Durga questioning why ghug voted for her seems odd. In M33, ghug and Durga were scum teammates, ghug voted for Durga, and Durga's reaction was somewhat similar.

yep, thats the one ghug (one of two?)

[Vecna]

Lol how nice of you to provide your scum buddy with an out to my questioning

Remember that time I was drunk and physically hit you? Yeah I don't feel bad about it anymore

I need to hear the full story to this at the next f2f thing
