MAFIA 64 - The Z Files - Game Thread [HIDDEN]

[Bonatogether]

I'm quipping at how both of you have significantly changed tones of aggression this game, especially after fact that last interaction you had with me was specifically asking after Bungo's similar shift - combined with how both of you have...more surface posts than what I remember.

I'm pretty frustrated this game because of HR's antics. I am actually enjoying myself quite a lot, but his bs is getting to me.

tbh I cannot handle you accusing me of having surface-level posts right now. I've put FAR too much time into trying to solve this game for you to come in and throw those accusations around without having read it lol

Surface level =/= low effort. You can have tons of effort and still surface post, or have little effort and still be insightful.

The thing about it is stating not the obvious, and (at least to what I've seen) the majority of the chatter in-thread have been hashing and rehashing the same few points, mostly ego or theatre induced.

Although, it doesn't necessarily say anything about you - just as possible that it's who you are talking to that skews the impression.

How much of the thread have you lurked through?

So kind of like ghug, but due to rules change, can't tell if his being blandly inoffensive is AI or not. Previously, he's scum if he's sharper in his wit, but now we are all gently rubbed blunt and soft by Jamie's loving hands.

I'm inoffensive?

What the fuck?

So gentle that I still have an audible voice ;p

I've seen ancient vases back home more subtle than you...

Yeah I have some problems with this, emc, but I guess I'm not going to get into in now. Glad you're playing, at least.

[e.m.c^42]

Y'all are pushing at each other but there's no motive to the pushing; if that makes sense? I dunno, I feel like there hasn't been evolution in questioning, so it comes off as mainly feel-good patting compared to usually, eviscerating surgery.

What're the problems with it?

[e.m.c^42]

I guess main problem is that I can't find the line of reasoning behind things.

Certainly part of it is myself being violently brain-massaged IRL, and likewise attributable to setup having multiple scum teams, but motivation-wise there's normally a clear line of intent whereas here it's all been bouncing around.

How much of the thread have you lurked through?

Hmm. Approx ±15 pages from each EOD? Backread I think all of the night. Powerskimmed D2 a few hours ago.

Mainly what I'm missing is everything of D1 after first ten or so pages.

Never claimed to have any subtle parts of me :D

Oh my god bona I said I'm not going to get into it

Basically emc is missing an incredible amount of context and it's hard for me to engage with it because I don't know what he's read, but I also don't want to shut him down now that he's here and contributing.

It all seemed so repetitive - like that time xorxes and I got into some sort of bicep-massage fest when he was VT and didn't believe I was town PR, and we went on and on and on about the same few points it bored everyone else in thread half to death - so bringing it back to topic horrified me. Maybe

I did get townread on you out of it though, now that you mention. HB prolly town. jasnah either lurked mafia games previously or has QT access. Maniac even more out of it than I am, which is saying a lot.

*Maybe later I shall venture back but at this point seemed more productive to move on.

But I just got him to say what he's read, so now you can engage with him =D

That's cool, but why didn't you say it at the time?

What's leading you to this jasnah read?

[e.m.c^42]

RHK is something lovely in his turn-of-phrase. Don't think I've ever actually played a game where he's been active like this; last that I recall, he half-assed his way through as town PR and then died.

Because I was off the computer doing awful things to myself lol. Although, I'm sure the fact that I read it all in one sitting contributes to the repetition, since posted live it would have been spaced out and less...blended together.
