MAFIA 63: THE SCOURGE [HIDDEN]

[damo666]

Also I was a bit harsh but I’m sus of Jamie and emc for trying to vote damo there.

I think we can ignore those as joke or protest votes. They were never gonna stay there.

[Fluminator]

Hahaha. Ez game ez life

[bozotheclown]

On the contrary, I think HB was also bussed.

I agree with aarodactyl, I doubt the remaining scum would risk defending Hamilton.

Do you think both scum bussed or would they be split up?

For you and aaro, anyone in particular you suspect of bussing?

There could be one on both wagons, but those I suspect as possible bussers are worcej, Donny, HR, and damo.

Jamie is obvtown for getting ghug out

There was so much bussing D2.

[Fluminator]

I thought HB was scum. I am happy he was my first real sus i gave.
I still think EMC is scum (although I haven't read eod yet) and wish he was killed though so I'd have got juicy town cred.

Yeah Bozo. I bussed ghug and brain and HB. I'm so good as scum I don't need teammates.

[celaph]

@celaph nice to see you pop out at right after EOD

I was on a walk. :)

The more honest answer is that I was just lurking as aaro mentioned. To be honest I was a little surprised to see both aaro and Jamie flip sides after their earlier posts, though aaro more than Jamie who I suspect flipped to avoid a tie. @aaro, want to share what made you change your mind?

As to why I was on you, but not pushing you I'm honestly not really sure. I was just kinda happy with what was being said.

[President Eden]

@PE

Solvey enough for you now?

And I don't think you get the credit for brainbomb, given that you completely forgot about him after ghug flipped scum and it required me to point out that that EoD made no sense whatsoever unless brain was scum.

You should just take my worrying about you as respect for your mafia game.

I still caused the entire sequence of events that led us to catch brainbomb and Brian...

It don't matta at this point anyway--

because at this point there's been a total of absence of him being correct about just about anything, and trying to claim he nailed two scum when he failed to vote one and failed to connect the one he did briefly vote to the one who got daykilled is looking pretty shite now.

Rude and also wrong! I voted Brian and we spelled out the case for Brian at basically the same time. Just thought emc was also pretty suspicious and knew that Brian had gotten himself into this type of trouble before as town.

Correct.

Of the potential EoD Scenarios there I see:

Scenario A) One scum bussed HB, one scum did not. Feels like the "right" strategic move, get as much distance between them as possible, and hopefully therefore make them unlikely cop targets. Still gives them the chance of influencing the vote and possibly of avoiding HB dying. Myriad of potential scum in the final HB voters, for the other one my prime focus would remain on Fluminator with the outside possibility of Bonatogether.

Scenario B) Scum wanted to avoid bussing as much as possible. Not an awful strategy in a game where they have such vulnerability to copping. In such a scenario I'd expect one of them to be a lateshifter when the game was basically up for HB (Eden or Aaro therefore come into prime focus), alongside the suspects from scenario A. Best scenario for town if this is the case.

Scenario C) Both scum bussed HB early and hard. Really struggle to believe there'd be any reason whatsoever for scum to do this given their cop vulnerabilities and the fact that HB's ability to fish a PR was completely fucked from the moment he failed to give any reports at EoN3. This would also completely remove the one ability scum still have in this game: The ability to shape the wagons/votes. I'm pretty happy to basically rule this out as a result.

Scenario D) EMC is also scum and therefore all bussing questions go out of the window. Possible, but I'm not convinced by the cases that people came up with, and the fact that EMC was a plausible counterwagon for so long doesn't really lean me toward this either - I'd expect EMC & HB to have gone at each other much more aggressively so that whichever one died would make the other look good.

I voted for EMC early because I scumleaned them and townread flum. Then I stayed on because I liked who was on it. However, HB kept looking scummier and scummier and EMC started looking better.

I mentioned to HR with like 45 minutes in the day that I'd be willing to swap, but I wanted to wait until the announcement. Near the end of the day, I decided to swap because HB didn't look anything like how he did last game when he was getting DKed (not even an attempt to post notes). Also HB was in the lead and ties are anti-town.

Why should I take it as respect, though? On N3 you came up with the first of these 'theories' to make me scum when you said that I wasn't solving enough. Then you scumread me for being the complete opposite D3. It feels more like you're finding excuses to scumread me more than that you actually have any belief in it.

[Jamiet99uk]

Nice one guys!

EMC, you're not clear.

Damo, what the fuck was that?

Way to downplay your limited involvement in flipping HB.

You shaded others so much yet you did nothing really to make this flip happen.

I agree with you Worcej. My involvement in making HB the winning wagon was very limited. I strongly scumread EMC so that was the wagon, out of those two, that I wanted to win.

I did however increasingly scumread Hamilton as the day went on and he could produce no answers, and I said as much. But yeah I was going for EMC more than HB, I'll openly admit that. That's why I said "nice one guys", ie congratulating the others, rather than trying to claim any credit myself.

You can't call me a final HB voter when I haven't been voting HB since 32 hours before EOD.

If we get another mafia tomorrow we're in a perfect position to let someone 1v11 again.

Inb4 I'm scum and we wanted me to go for 2

I do not think brainbomb and Hamilton were worth scum defending after D2 EOD, so you only get "credit" for bussing ghug, and you did not return your vote to ghug until less than 2 minutes before D2 EOD when ghug was leading by one.

I am leaning towards option A and a flip of bona next phase.

@aaro

In the way of the bozo, I have pasted here all of his wonderfully rainbow texts. I'm sure that with the proper substances induced within one's body they shall reveal glorious truths, since (verbatim) "My color choices are not weird".

Proceed to suffer my awful decoding skills and despair at what I'm clearly not seeing.

As none of the picks are actually automatically provided in the text editor, it stands to note that our dear bozo carefully put 'em in.

How do you define "wasted their vote"?
D1 I think we should vote out whoever refers to "Among Us" the most.
Do you think PE was being serious in that post?
I think most players, scum or town, only end on a single vote wagon when they are not online at EOD, or they are emc.
College football reached a new low with the Mayonnaise Bowl.
What's with the weird color?
Maybe, but I do not think that is what Yoyoyozo and teacon were doing D1 in M62.
If you think PE's post was obviously sarcastic, why do you think it is unremarkable that BunnyGo's response did not show any signs of recognizing the sarcasm?
How do you define "wasted their vote"?

There are a total of nine posts like such. All the rest of his D1 posts do not have specific hex codes. If you take them out, you have the following in order:

Code: Select all

#C0DEBC
#C6E37A
#ECCAAC
#AFD8FD
#DAC9E6
#90F77B
#C6E37A
#E0E1BE
#000000

Converted to RGB in case this means something

Code: Select all

192, 222, 188
198, 227, 122
236, 202, 172
175, 216, 253
218, 201, 230
144, 247, 123
198, 227, 122
224, 225, 190
0, 0, 0

Despite the irregularity of his last post being black, unlike the other posts, it does stand to note that the starting and ending post are exactly the same. So maybe it's meaningful, but most likely not since it's highly unlikely anyone noticed it.

The post number of his posts is meaningless since he cannot control that due to other people posting. So what we're left with are the colours and his textual content.

Knowing bozo it's either some mathematical thing, or something completely unrelated lmao


What it is probably not:

• The RGB values referring to the first letter or word of the post that it corresponds to. If you do that, you get the following:
  

  Code: Select all

  192, I (dk)
  222, C (lear)
  188, I
  
  198, C (hange)

HOWEVER

AT THIS POINT IN TIME


(the original post was made on Jan 3rd; I figured it out as of loading the draft.)

I've finally figured out.

The colour of the person on peterbot that bozo is responding to, is the colour that he made his text. Lmao

Just got back. Glad we got another. This post just made me snarf. EMC, I’m gonna find as many other of your posts as I can and upvote them tonight.
