M62: PEOPLE'S DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF REVOLUTIONARY MAFIA GAME THREAD!

[Nephthys]

@Town,

Just an observation: we’re on page 26, and so much of the thread is garbage. Just makes it very hard to read and very easy to blend in if you are pretending to solve problems because your role pm gave you all the answers.

If you haven’t read this Mafia Guide, I hope you will. I think it has some useful advice. It will help all of us (a) make sense of the thread, and (b) sort people who are trying to solve a puzzle from those who know the answers, if we edit ourselves a bit more and post with a purpose, I think the game will be more fun.

Also, less toxic Internet forum insults. It’s not funny and it’s not brave. Let’s be nice and have fun.

While I agree with what is being said I have a few concerns
1. This is exquisitely crafted, laid out and hyperlinked
2. The points made are general

To expand on (2), his points don't say how or why or even things to focus on. Its verbose and waffle

Also as a meta side I don't really see too many laid out walls from Balki in previous games in the entry phase and this really isn't the worst D1 we've opened with

Would you please elaborate on why those are “concerns”? Are you saying those things are scum-indicative? If so, why?

[President Eden]

ATTENTION MORTALS.

I recognize Mafia is a heated game, doubly so when you're playing with a familiar group with idiosyncracies that rub you the wrong way. Accordingly, I'm trying not to be overbearing about policing tone or rhetoric.

That said, we have new players in the game, and this thread is not hidden. We're aiming for "fun" heated, not "toxic" heated. Please try to tone the attacks and language down a notch. This isn't targeted at any one player as there are several people who fit the bill.

THANK YOU FOR KEEPING WEBDIP MAFIA GREAT!

Bruh you think we have legit reads that are anywhere near accurate?

So, you play a reading game and don't make reads? Are you a mentally impaired (sorry if you are, but just asking)???

Jeez, who rained on your parade? I'm still figuring out the personalities - I have no point of reference here.

I think your statement about reads was a little daft. Even in Town of Salem D1 isn't a total meme.

That said, speaking from the perspective of the third new player, I think we place pressure on ourselves to fit in and act like everyone else even we that really is not us. @bona, just play your game.

[Nephthys]

As the new players entrances, I like Bon

Celaph I have very little thoughts on.

Aaro makes me a little uncomfortable, especially as someone who has played before, he's been trying to jump in to a lot of general banter. Seems like someone going hard on the whole "charisma will carry any scum through D1" vibe

[ND]

And,

1) Any post I labeled as "fake" is because it is. That person/entity (I know we have to be careful because we can't assume gender) has stated something so obnoxiously obvious an unimpressive oxen like Ghug could point it out.

a) These fake posts make them appear to be blending in. It is a scum tier/trash tier post.

2) Drugna was my joke vote, but her reaction is about what I expected. She is a trash player and her response was expected.

3) I got a few good reads out of all of that. A few of the newbs Flum pointed out. Interesting how two of them immediately jumped on Flum. And where there is some smoke there may be fire.

3a) This Kgray guy trying to sheep a vote on me. Just because Ghuggles mentioned me, that guy tried to start a sheep train on me like flies on dung. That's scum tier.

3a) SERIOUSLY NO ONE IS EVEN GOING TO QUESTION VASHTA? BALKI??? BIG HEAD HR? BO for being awful as usual. They just get to skate through D1? Nah.

4) Ghug is obviously trash. Drugna obviously the same. NAI could go either way. Brainbomb for his playing all angles and diarrhea postings. Vecna strangely not so much and whenever I town read him he turns out to be scum got to keep that in mind.

These are my current thoughts on the game. Doesn't mean they are all scum. But these people have to ALL be questioned.

I'll start ##VASHTA
(No one buy's that you don't know what the bot is)

[Balki Bartokomous]

Also as a meta side I don't really see too many laid out walls from Balki in previous games in the entry phase and this really isn't the worst D1 we've opened with

(1) What is the point you are trying to make about my meta? Are you saying that “laid out walls” are alignment indicative for me? Are you comparing to my Town games, Scum games, or just generally all games?

(2) When you say “I don’t really see too many laid out walls from Balki,” do you mean you don’t remember me doing that kind of thing? Or did you just go back and do some research?

Not necessarily, it's just things that make me mildly uncomfortable about the motive behind it.

Could have just gone with a classic
"chill guys lets all try cut the BS and make sure we're posting with focus" or something akin.

But anyway, its no secret that my (little) talent lies in townhunting rather than scumhunting

...

Then who do you scumread?

(1) - Havent actually checked if you were town or scum in the game I was comparing to, just something that struck me as odd and held up when I checked.

(2) I checked the bot for every full mafia game back to 46 (sadly you've only played 1) to compare, I have no motivation to go further

[ND]

Yeah, Balki's post was obviously fake. He is just trying to appear useful by posting something without having to directly interact with anyone.

[ND]

Nice try Balki, but no one bought it man.

[Nephthys]

@ND

You've been posting consistently since all of those posts were made but you waited to question them? Why the hesitation?

[Nephthys]

Yuck

Like you I can't tell scum from shitposter yet so I don't have much to say on that front. My initial town reads are bunny, durga, and ND. Their posts seem to at least be advancing the conversation in a productive fashion.

I agree about bunny, I can see your point about durga, but I think ND is a shitposter who wants to look like a productive town member.

@ND

No hesitation at all Neph. You see, I started playing the game about an hour and a half ago and started on something, called, page 1. I know this may seem complicated, but try to stay with me okay? When you make a post it goes to the last or some people would call it, current, page.

Now, I have been posting for an hour as I read the game and those posts go to the , last, or current page Neph. Do you understand yet, little guy? I know it's hard to understand.

The Bunny read I find surprising. Bunny has offered nothing to this game solving wise. He's asked some general limp philosophy questions that don't help at all.

His stuff is phrased like he's hunting though...

Do you like eating spicy food, by any chance? Lol, pick the aggressive players, surprising taste for someone new :D (NAI, but usually people newer townread the more calm personalities)

You see his point about.. Drugna. An individual who hasn't read the game start post and literally has produced not a sliver of value to the game. Okay dude.

She literally has acknowledged she hasn't read the game start post and you think she is contributing to the conversation. You aren't serious are you?
