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

Re-reading D1,

Probably the most solid thing I can glean from the interactions with Demon D1 is that Demon spent a chunk of his effort to scumread bona - but this was in a context where Bona was already being scumread. I would strongly townread Bona on this basis, that he was scumread by town and so an actual scum tried to push him.

I also saw that Chaqa's progression on Demon seems natural, even though it was at the periphery of his iso. I think Chaqa picked up on the same thing a few others did, that RHK was in a groove that resembled his other scum play. kgray reacted similarly. I think Chaqa and kgray look solidly town in the way they evolved to RHK.

Scumwise, I don't feel nearly so sure, but I feel like there's something off with the way Hamilton Brian and Celaph interact with and were interacted with by Demon. Those two look suspicious to me, although I can't peg it down very well. HB has a sort of lapping-at-the-edges with Demon, discussing Demon via intermediaries, and celaph is a target of a scumread by Demon when Demon says that celaph would be scum if Bona is. Celaph reacts sulkily to Demon and says he's "tempted" to join the Demon wagon, even though celaph doesn't seem like a bitter-type.

Both celaph and HB would be good wagons, and I see celaph already has two votes, so let's see!

##VOTE celaph

[damo666]

So being 'wrong' is being 'scum?'

eh?

Are you saying that those three, because they are voting someone else (and by your definition, 'wrong,') are therefor scum?

More likely to be scum, yes.

This post is so bad.

Bad like wrong or bad like scummy?

So scum celaph voted for scumDemon when scumDemon and townBona were 3-3. Why would he do that?

[worcej]

Waking up and checking to see who got shot and I see I have 2 OMGUS votes and BB on me because I am lacking energy.

Great scum hunting skills lol...

[kgray]

if you want me to shut up I will shut up. but dont fucking sit here when people are creating gun deadlines and tell me 11 non voters is activity

I dunno about other people but I'm waiting for right before gun EoD to park a vote.

How in the world could you possibly think that is helpful.

Bona has a strange attitude to voting. A bit like emc.

[ghug]

Everyone who peer pressured darg into revealing his scan suck

lol
I was hoping that ghug would indicate whether he approved of a reveal. I could not think of a way to ask him outright. When he indicated that he thought i should reveal, i assumed he considered whether the reveal might be him.

I am now waiting to see if kak will shoot.

I'm not sure I buy this. I told you much earlier in the day that I thought you should reveal.

[kgray]

shooting at mid day today and declaring it

Wait, brain... can *you* see into the future?? lmao

He just confused you with me.

Oh, understandable. I am you.

At least wrong. I don't think it's especially alignment indicative for Jamie, but the hammering is a bad look.

[worcej]

@Brain - stop trying to be a damn pump man for a kpop boy band.

This phase is literally dominated by mechanics and it won’t go away until they are dealt with.

@Kak - fire the gun. Do it at me for all I care if it will make town actually try. These damn ‘hey everyone I got a gun, let me dominate the narrative of the game’ plays are dumb. Your scum points are rather high if you ask me.

HB is just being bad. He is using OMGUS as a method to participate, which I personally think is him cloaking the fact he is meh scum.

[worcej]

##vote Kak

I’m going back to sleep before I have to be at work in 4 hours.

[kgray]

If I'm scum, why do I join a second tiny wagon with RHK in the lead instead of bussing or trying to push one of the bigger counterwagons?

Well I know you don't like bussing. And maybe you thought that we'd be able to stir up enough momentum, and brain was convenient because you'd been shading him? It's technically possible kak and Hamilton are both scum but I really doubt it. You hadn't been scumreading them, so maybe you thought it would look too sketchy to join one of their wagons? Maybe you just thought you could imitate your town game by trying to get the brain wagon going?

[kgray]

Wht do you mean false? And have I implied that all of brain's takes on scum are 100% Not sure what you're getting at here.

Oh, I think I see what you meant. I read the line that I highlighted as saying that you thought that all his scum takes were correct takes.

Right, and I re-read it and thought that I was unclear. Right...the only group who's takes are 100% are scum.

No scum is ever going to list perfect reads though lol

[Chaqa]

Kakarot, you around?

Why don't you give us a short list of who you'd be willing to shoot, and then we can all vote accordingly?

[kgray]

##VOTE celaph

Why?

[kgray]

I am still scumreading Damo and HB and added Maniac to this pack. I am starting to get scum vibes from Ghug too.

Jesus, I don't know if I have ever been more unimpressed with your contributions. If your metric for any scum-leans is as strong on your Damo!scum lean, then that's not good. Your mention of Damo's scumminess is coming from hopping on other's reads and best they are, "Damo has had some weird posts."

I think you're trying to coast here, and my NULL on you has shitted to Scum.

Edited for double negative.

I love that *that's* what you decided to edit

[worcej]

Will somebody talk to me about worcej? I think he's contributed nothing to this game besides starting drama and I think he's scum, but I also am suspicious that my emotions are getting in the way.

I think Hamilton is remarkably nonchalant about kak's gun and I can't decide whether that's townie or if there's something more behind it.

I legitimately think ghug is scum.

I had a gross feeling that food's been trying to set me up, but he's not harping on it as much as I originally thought he would be.

Do me a favor - work 95 hours a week for two weeks straight with no days off and in the middle of it have to rotate to graveyards and tell me how much effort you would put into a fucking forum game.

I am fucking over your ‘all you did was start drama’ because I asked you why you are being overly deflective on a certain topic. Your damn right your emotions are in the way.

Also - if you think I would be scum and hide behind RL shit to ‘survive’ longer, then please just simplify it be saying ‘worcej is bad’ and lets move on.

Yep, you did. And i responded positively very soon. Since then, I've thought, and you have continued to push (politely.) it was your +1 that moved me over the edge.

[kgray]

Now I am thinking that three of the remaining scum team formed my wagon on D1. I know someone will convince me otherwise with some sound logic but...

I think you and kak are town, so I think Demon voting kak over you does make the people on your wagon look worse. But it could also just be that Demon thought brain would stir up more kak voters, and that he'd be a more likely miskill than you.
