MAFIA 71: "PAPERS PLEASE" - GAME THREAD [Hidden]

[damo666]

If we can get >50% of the players in the alliance, it would become safe for mafia players in it to claim because we won't kill them. We might be able to work with one team to eliminate the other actually.

What abject nonsense

I suppose Flum could have been trying t trick scum but if they are that thick they will lose regardless.

hello I have read up to page 6 and am posting this to remind myself that I've read up to page 6 when I wake up in the morning

assuming I can find this post

anyway anyone want to join my alliance? I'm accepting applications

the easiest way to find your most recent post is to search for yourself as author. I'm surprised you didn't know this.

[Foxcastle]

Well, whatever is going on, Sabi's reaction is reading pretty townie to me

I think it's NAI at best.

[Foxcastle]

I caught up and I'm impressed we've already had some real drama by page 12

ghug has this unique gift of triggering people just by existing

Unfortunately, this can be true. Unfortunately, I think it doesn't actually tell us anything about Ghug's alignment and anything he might have elicited from Eden is going to be swamped by speculation about whether town-Eden or scum-Eden is more likely to sub out.

What a read.

He’s playing scared.

I think it’s certainly NAI for ghug, but I think PE was quite towny all through the day. People jumping on him for his post about writing posts and then not posting being scummy, I think just don’t realize this is totally the strange way that PE talks in these games. A lot of his posts come across as forced (like his post with “tips” for Sabi) but it’s just genuinely how he types and thinks imo.

[damo666]

PE Sabi and Tom all Town.

This is gonna be easy.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I never played with Eden, but I guess I will get another shot to read that slot.

damo trying to buddy me because I always end up scumreading him…

His plan has backfired. I’m now scumreading him.







Joking.




Sorta….

Good morning everyone,

I hope everyone feels better or at least calmer compared to yesterday. It's a new day which means back to not shit posting. I will just @ people in this post so please read when searching.

@CaptainMeme

Why have you not answered my questions?

Why is bozo curious about how we know each other?

***

@foxcastle

I need to understand you.

How do you describe your play style?

Do you scum hunt and if so what is that style?

What do you want to know about me because you are clearly giving me some sort of attention?

***

OK those are my standalone thoughts. Sorry not sorry I will post long posts. Yall can survive.

[Tom Bombadil]

Sabi - what do you hope to gain by asking folks what their play style is?

Sabi - what do you hope to gain by asking folks what their play style is?

Thank you for asking.

I am honestly asking to get an idea on how players think they play. I rather they tell me than hear a third party meta opinion on how they play. Like I want to know if I should be annoyed all their game play is shit posting or do they put in genuine effort in the game.

I am sure if someone is being completely off based in their answer that people will jump in to correct.

Honestly tho last game everyone answer matched how they played the game.

I don't see a useful reason for anyone to not give a genuine honest answer to it but maybe I will be proven wrong.

@foxcastle

I need to understand you.

1. How do you describe your play style?

2. Do you scum hunt and if so what is that style?

3. What do you want to know about me because you are clearly giving me some sort of attention?

0. You do not need to understand me. You do not need to "understand" anyone. You need to map everyone's connection to everyone else until you identify the two sets of people who are connected to each other (including being connected by how assiduously they they try to remain disconnected).

1. I don't see much use in that question. Asking people to navel-gaze about their inner workings isn't going to tell you much in a game that's about relationships and limited, unprovable information.

2. I use my patent-pending mafia solver, code named POEM, which is a spreadsheet.

3. I do not want to know anything about you that you would tell me. I want you to pick 9 players at random and tell me which of them you think are on the same team.

Actually, Sabi, I do want to know something you can tell me about yourself. What games have you played in so far, and what was your alignment/role?

I mean that's a strategy. Is this any similar to how damo does his calculations/formula thing on who is in a scum team together or isn't possible to be on a scum team together?

The part in parentheses, could you please expand on that for me?

Asking people to navel-gaze about their inner workings isn't going to tell you much in a game

It does make it easier for me to read them because I get a feel if they are shit poster or a serious player. I rather not waste my energy trying to get a known shit poster to be serious with me. Like I learned that brain bomb pr hunts both as town and scum.

I want you to pick 9 players at random and tell me which of them you think are on the same team.

I am not avoiding this, will answer in a couple of hours when I get on my laptop. Don't want you to think I'm avoiding it.

Actually, Sabi, I do want to know something you can tell me about yourself. What games have you played in so far, and what was your alignment/role?

I have played only 4 forum mafia games so far and here are the results:

M70: I was vanilla town and survived to the end of the game

M1019: I was vanilla town and day killed day 5 because I stopped caring about the game and putting in an effort.

M1020: I was vanilla town and scum won because town never day killed scum. I got buddied by one of the scum players which caused town to lose.

And this is my fourth game. You can verify all of this info by anyone who were in those games with me. Hope that clears things up.

[brainbomb]

Sabi - what do you hope to gain by asking folks what their play style is?

Tom is town

[brainbomb]

Wow I come back and the game dies.

When can I stop shit posting and go back to serious posting mode? Asking for a friend.

Friend is me.

Sabi talks alot, but is trying really hard to prove to a certain group of players that they can be just like them. Its barely working. It is just laden with enough effort that sabi is town.

[brainbomb]

the people who strike me as scum so far is durga, bona, chris, flyingboat

I feel pretty good about kgray, tom bomb, foxcastle, ghug, and eden
