MAFIA 66: The Battle for Olympus - Game Thread [hidden]

[Bonatogether]

See I read this more as tongue in cheek fakeness.

Macca makes these kinds of posts. It's nai

Can you verify this with some previous examples where macca made NAI posts with enthusiasm?

It's not so much the enthusiasm as the general tone/message of the posts - "Hi guys, woohoo, mafia"

Alright, looking in for a good game.

...

Best of luck to my team! (i.e. Town Team)

Let us begin.

Excited to try this game with you all again, I just have one request.

Please don't make me D1 kill again. I'm not scum this time, and I still don't understand how the last one happened so I might wander into it again.

Lastly. At first glance, the one who seems the most scummy is ghug (sorry).

##VOTE ghug

no exclamation but there is immediacy

I'll be playing in between paying attention in class, so expect more reading than posting (not that I post a lot anyway).

I would like to start with 2 remainders. You can check my earlier games if you would like to verify these.

1. I will not be on at EOD, probably ever. Do not read into this, I have just arrived to school at that time (or if it's the weekend, I'm probably asleep).

2. My reads are about as good as chance and almost always based on vibes. You can try to ask for more detail on one, it may or may not come.

Best of luck to my team! (i.e. Town Team)

As scum macca was a bit less upfront enthuised to be there and even polished off opening post encouraging best of luck to what was the scumteam

Disagree

Scum macca is a tad more restrained but it's only possible to definitively tell in hindsight (ie, when you already know their alignment)

[Bonatogether]

Fine. I am comfortable. Is it bad?

rdr, you are surprisingly defensive so early in the game when brainbomb merely called you "comfortable." Why do you think you need to fight this so hard? I don't think brain has even said you are scummy.

What is defensive about his response and how on earth do you think he's fighting hard?

I feel like you're just jumping off of brain's comment that he no longer seems comfortable (which I disagreed with) and that makes *me* uncomfortable.

It's a sulky message: "fine - I am comfortable ", which is quite out of character and defensive for rdr

Immediacy is one of the easiest things to fake in a game. It's totally if they're like that this game

[brainbomb]

I see why you say its NAI. but it isnt. Macca fake excitement is fairly noticeable. they didnt front load the post with excitement. it was an afterthought for macca they needed to be happy to be town. which town macca doesnt need to pepper into a post late in a paragraph.

To be clear, this is when macca was scum 2 games ago. this game macca is town

[Chaqa]

chaqa coming in with his usual confusion on when the game begins. Im never convinced he isnt actually aware. the rest of his entry feels scattered.

damo has made a few posts so far which did very little for me. which is normal

I'd explain why I didn't know, but time and time again ya'll think me having a life is suspicious, and I don't have Eden or EMC here to confirm what I say lol

yea but again go look at the post where macca was scum. adding in excitement was at the end of the post.

like oh shoot i know I need to also seem excited like usual

[Chaqa]

I'm noticing foodcoats keeps asking a lot of "would X player do this?" or "does Y player play like this as scum?" type questions, which to me seems like an easy way to make yourself look like you're hunting that pushes the work from you to others. I find it is a pretty common scum tactic.

[Hamilton Brian]

Interesting deep dive into the meta. While ya'll are doing that I need to go back and re-read the set-up.

[brainbomb]

Oh, phase shift is at 5P in my local time instead of usual 6.

I'm sure that won't fuck me up at all. /s

S/o to the GM for the heads up I got drafted. Let's get this bread.

Lets get this bread.
here is a player excited to scumhunt

People can edit their words once they're typed brain. I don't buy this.

[brainbomb]

In honor of being a game regarding gods I'mma play PoE and murder the shit outta some gods, maybe even polay some Hades and see if I can actually get a run all the way through as well.

Here is a player really excited to play something else.

This assumes that a scum player (macca) was self aware during a stream of consciousness post that they were being their ordinary self and went and self edited. Im not even sure how this refutes my point that they added faked enthuisiasm at the end to look towny. again this post was from M64 and not this game.

[brainbomb]

what are you arguing at this point bona?

Scum players are always (or should always be) self-aware of what their posts look like.

[brainbomb]

do you resent the idea macca might have subtle tells?

But I disagree that your evidence shows anything
