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

[ghug]

Partially because Vecna said teacon is town, and I townread Vecna and trust his reads somewhat. Partially because I think Bunny is scum and he was voting for teacon, and his "happy with where his vote is" post really bugged me. Partially because I thought that town!teacon was more likely to show his towniness to me later than town!ND was, and in the end I'd rather be wrong and have ND out of the game than be wrong and have teacon out of the game.

Why do you townread Vecna?

He seems normal to me. The only thing that bothered me was apparently a joke I misunderstood, and I've felt like a lot of his catchup posts have been saying things I also was thinking.

Actually I didn't get to this. It's a reaction I'd expect from town mini me.

[Durga]

Can we all please talk about me?

I love you too but it feels like it's unrequited. You only message me once every three months

[kgray]

This just hurts so much.

I want to be anything but "meh." Why "meh"?!

tbh you're kinda meh for me too.

I mean... damn. That’s just the meanest thing to say!

Define “meh” in this context. Does it mean scummy? Null? Ineffective? Boring? Unexceptional? Underwhelming?

What do you think my alignment is?

Also, I think I recall you not liking my EOD votes? Is that right? What didn’t you like about them? Have any questions for me?

(This is our special time of day, by the way)

Sorry

I think underwhelming. Last time we played together you were digging into everything and asking people to explain their reasoning, and I don't see too much of that in this game. You did question my reads, which seemed towny, but it's not a lot compared to what I would have expected you to engage in. Maybe some of that is Thanksgiving?

I don't know your alignment. I don't think you've done anything scummy, unless Neph turns out to be scum after all, but I'm still not seeing the inquiitive Balki I expected after last game.

Why did you move back to a vanity wagon at EOD? You knew Hamilton wasn't going to be daykilled. Sitting back and letting others decide the vote seems very un-Balki to me.

Why teacon over ND? What do you think of Maniac?

And don't try to buddy me

Weak

lmao okay cool. what's your read of vecna?

[ghug]

I've met four people in this game, but Balki was the handsomest.

I was going to meet brain but he got too stoned.

[kgray]

Agh I LOVE kgray

aww, love you too <3

I like kgray now because she negged me. Sorry.

Idk he seems fine but unremarkable

I took balki to a debate tournament and people just thought he was my arm candy

Are you calling me a teenage ghug again?

Was going to compliment your forearms but now I don't want to risk you not liking me anymore.

Do you expect his remarkableness to be dependent on his alignment?

[Bonatogether]

Also, while I recognize that not voting is a shit move, brainbomb, kgray, and hamilton *all* voting ND in rapid succession reeks.

Why?

There seemed to be a majority of people who agreed that he was town (albeit dislikeable), but a sudden rush of votes doesn't sit right with me - there didn't seem like a lot of discussion about it. Like, Hamilton said that his read was null on ND, and then he votes without saying anything??? Brainbomb had said that he thought ND was a PR and that he would never kill him (2141/108), and you, kgray, didn't say anything about ND in the immediate leadup to this. In fact, you voted bunny 8 minutes before you voted ND - why?

Okay but do you think the people who voted for him there were part of the majority who thought he was town?

There wasn't exactly time for a lot of discussion about it, since it was right at EOD.

Brain said he thought *Bunny* was a PR, not ND.

I thought ND was scummy but I think Bunny is too. I didn't like his post about him being happy with his vote and leaving, and I wanted to see if others would join me on him. It wasn't a viable wagon, so then I had to chose between ND and teacon.

I just think having a strong opinion on him is weird

Good. Let’s reset your expectations to what just happened Day 1, and I will now whelm the eff out of you.

Re wagons, a couple of thoughts I had:

(1) It felt to me like the wagons were pretty fluid actually. I was not totally caught up, but the wagons did not feel like they were backed with much conviction. I didn’t think that a late switch to Hamilton Brian (or someone else) was out of the question.

(2) I honestly didn’t even love the HB wagon, chalk full of Balkis though it may have been. But I felt best there.

(3) I like late vote switches. I think they can generate useful information and expose folks who have more information than the rest of us. And I like them even better when I feel like I have some control over them. I tried to get a bit of that going with the Bunny move to see what would happen, but it didn’t generate much intel except for your move there. Maybe that will prove useful later, maybe not.

(4) Null on Maniac. Such a big roster! I just haven’t spent much time on Maniac, and not much of note has happened with him that I’ve seen anyway. No idea.

(5) I’m honestly very Null on teacon on too. I just felt like we were lynching ND because people don’t like him, and his abrasive/confrontational nature runs so counter to my scum paradigm that I felt he was likely town.

Why?

Cause I don't. I asked and your reasoning was lackluster. Why does Vecna being normal make him town? He's a competent scum player.
