M60 - Duck Season? (Director's Cut) - Game Thread

[Maniac]

Can we proclaim MoscowFleet the King of Toytown? I would normally endorse a monarchy, but Moscow is now soooo town I’m sure all his offspring will be also.

I’m aware this is a 180, but come on his is so town that I’ll forgive him completely for saying ‘honestly’.

[Maniac]

^wouldn’t

[summit_fever]

Yeh I was town so I was more focused whereas now I’m scum so I just wanna have a good time

I really didn't expect to see you again, but you're town as fuck.

Why do you think that?

His iso is just a clean "why did I sign up to a second game of webdip mafia?" Maybe he would pull this shit as scum as well, but it's very reminiscent of M57.

[Maniac]

On another separate note are you from the UK @Summit?

I'm not from the UK but I do enjoy reading Private Eye.

That explains it. I’d really struggle to vote for you now.

Not game related but if you could all play my game it would be
Whilst waiting for Squiggs to post the results of the latest Game Theory Game, I've been conducting some detailed, methodical and entirely made up research in to which country is favourite to win when diplomacy gets down to the business end and only two countries remain. My results are posted below:

Italy:
Beats: Turkey Germany Austria
Loses to: England france Russia

Turkey
Beats: Germany Austria Russia
Loses to: Italy England France

Germany
Beats: Autria Russia France
Loses to: Turkey Italy England

Austria
Beats: Russia England France
Loses to: Germany Turkey Italy

Russia
Beats: France England Italy
Loses to: Austria Germany Turkey

France
Beats: England Italy Turkey
Loses to: Russia Austria Germany

England
Beats: Italy Turkey Germany
Loses to: Russia Austria France

Your challenge is simply to select a country or countries that will represent you in SEVEN rounds of business end diplomacy. Your selections will be pitched against every other player who enters. If you select the same country as another player, you draw and score zero points. If your country beats your opponent's country you will score one point. If your country loses to your opponent's country you will score minus one point.

At the end of Round 1 all the players who selected the country that scored the fewest points will be eliminated. If two or more countries tie for last place, no country and players are eliminated.

Countries and players will continue to be eliminated until there is a winner. If two or more players survive after round seven, there will be a playoff - to be announced.

My selection is as follows: England, Russia, England, Germany, Austria, France, Turkey.

If I happen to draw with other players, then I will be awarded one extra point.

You must PM me ONCE with a list of SEVEN countries.

Entries close Midnight (GMT) on 30th Sept 2020.

Between the 1st October 2020 and 14th October 2020 you must also post you entry in the Game Theory Games thread for it to be valid. The group can then work out who has won.

The results of my 'research' is not up for discussion.

Good luck...

Maniac are you drunk right now?

[bozotheclown]

Guys you can kill me for saying this but I pulled up all the posts mentioning summit and from summit through the bot and I just don't get it. Saying he feels "uncomfortable" was a pretty weird claim because I just don't get that vibe from his posts.
kgray, can you explain that? Please cite him specifically being "uncomfortable"
Flum I think was being just a bit silly and thinks he's being smarter than he is.

But what the fuck was ghug's post about summit being invisible and therefore scum is a "good point" from Flum? No, it was a bad point and you should know better. It reads as trying to flip summit but put the onus of the flip on someone else. I voted ghug as a joke but I'm comfortable keeping it where it is

The summit wagon has 3.5 voters currently. What's your take on the other 3 person wagons Donny and Maniac

4 votes and someone else pushing the wagon. The other wagons didn't have eyecatchingly bad posts justifying the push. The Donny wagon is a joke vote a pressure vote and an unexplained vote. The Maniac wagon is a joke vote and 2 people upset that Maniac is being Maniac.

What vote for Maniac at the time you posted this did you think was a joke?

His iso is just a clean "why did I sign up to a second game of webdip mafia?" Maybe he would pull this shit as scum as well, but it's very reminiscent of M57.

He was actually doing stuff in m57. Just a lot of it was on the ship thread.

Encouraging day 1 hammers is doing something no? You seemed to agree.

What about that reminds you of M57? I was out of that game N1, but what I remember was that Nanook was a professional mafia player.

Saying he didn't want to put effort in the game rubbed me the wrong way. Either he's lame or scum and I'm hoping it's scum.

[Maniac]

Maniac are you drunk right now?

It’s 8:18am here. As it happens I can’t remember the last time I had a drink but I had planned to meet up with a few friends on tonight for a catch up beer. Lucky Boris was aware of mafia EOD timings and will be kicking us all out of the pubs at 10pm.

I died early as well, but I did follow the game. Dude's obnoxious but he isn't going against his town meta. He must understand pushing hammers on day 1 around here is going to be controversial on a good day.

[Maniac]

“.... Nanook was a professional mafia player.”

You can play this game professionally. Where do I apply?

[Fluminator]

There's quite a few players who seem different this game.

Is that because of day 1 fatigue? (Considering a lot of players already put effort into a different day 1 not long ago.)
Is it because they're now scum?

##voteDamo666

Come on Damo you’re making it too easy for people to vote for you. Step up to the mark and provide a detailed reads list. A good towny would without question.

If Damo complies my vote will shift to MoscowFleet. People who say things like ‘to be perfectly honest’ are usually lying and we should daykill all liars.

On an entirely unrelated note is there any statistical evidence to suggest female players are better then men at mafia?

On another separate note are you from the UK @Summit?

damo high-posted in the last two games.. was a top wagon in both and murdered in one. weird his output is so low though.

I'm not from the UK but I do enjoy reading Private Eye.

Ok to be fair, like 3 out of 4 people on damo were scum last game.

I don't know, but Nanook said something about winning some money on some online sites.

[Vecna]

Vecna, is Kgray a serious scum read, or are you just throwing paranoia on that slot?

yes, I think her progression so far this game has felt a lot less natural and much more "observe and see whatll float nicely along with public opinion"

[Vecna]

Donny my Dude, did you even read the post?

Impressions after P5:

Everyone posting enough appears town, except Worcej and Kgray (and maybe bunny)

Why do you think worcej seems not town?

I stated I did not see any reasons to think he was town in those first few fluff posts. they just felt weird. Not a scumread but just looking left behind compared to the other stuff that happened

[Vecna]

##VOTE summit

Join us, Moscow.

This feels like a mistake. The easier way to read summit is to just leave him alone and push content naturally and judge that.

Itll be hella easy very quickly.

Do you have a read on summit now?

loads of questions suddenly eh

summit has not done anything. we all know it. being less active on the first day of day1 is not how I read that slot though.
