M73 - Fowl Play - Game Thread [HIDDEN]

[President Eden]

To The JOAT:

I’m not big on twisting PRs’ arms to make them do things, but the JOAT, whoever it is, really badly needs to shoot tonight to confirm that damo was not the JOAT. Whoever you are, if you’re not roleblocked we will get guaranteed confirmation that you were alive as of the end of D3. It’s exceedingly unlikely that you will be.

This is crucial to help work through N2 and D3, which has more than faint signs of the mafia cashing in all their information-disrupting powers to make a play to shake up the direction of the game and prevent us from tightening the noose.

Presumably from the lack of a kill thus far, you have used your investigative and protective power. Time to let us know you’re still there.

Late flavour!

There are about 19 billion chickens in the world. A few roam free whilst most are kept in cramped, squalid conditions. They would be forgiven for just giving up and counting the days until they are served up as a McNugget. But they don’t. They are such clever animals who rationalise that an object that is hidden still exists. They feel emotional pain and grief when one of their number dies. It’s not known if they can love, but perhaps they know beauty. If they do they would no doubt recognise how beautiful one of their brood was. Some would say handsome. As well as being handsome, she was also just a little crazy; in a good way.

But perhaps she was too handsome and too crazy. Chickens can be jealous and cruel and when the mood takes them, bloodthirsty.

And so it was that the plot was hatched to gang up on this crazy, handsome chicken and end her life early.

MANIAC WAS A VANILLA CHICKEN

Flavor is good

this is what you get for being a SIMP

lol how long has it been? 20 minutes?

"20 minutes" sorry I misread this:

i have thoughts about that day but i'm keeping my mouth shut

that's why catchup is small

i think our essential situation is basically the same as it was coming into the day. game plan doesn't change for tomorrow

as you planning to go afk for the rest of N3.

Funny no one's called you a SIMP despite being right next to me in your own SIMP rankings...maybe we're not so different after all, Bona

specifically this part

Mmmm so people think I killed the TFB wagon, so they are voting for me over TFB…

I didn’t kill the TFB wagon. When I first voted for them, I put them in the lead. 3 minutes to go they were in third place so I had to pick between the top two wagons and choose Kak. There is nothing suspicious there.

Quiz has finished. We came 2nd, but I’m staying in pub so not really engaged.

If I die, kill TFB, Jamie and Pyxxy

Rdriveria, Chaqa, Bona, Ghug look good.

this is posted after a 2 hour dip from d2, and right before EoD. He was aware enough of the vote count despite being 'not really engaged' to post end of day reads. he puts the NFT man (already likely town), jamie (town), and the pyx as scum. i think he might have put a scum in there, which makes the pxy look worse? not willing to go far out on that. As for list 2, I think he definitely puts a scum in there. I believe that is most likely to be ghuginator, in line with the rest of the stuff so far.

i've definitely become more confident in this read with how things have gone.

Ah okay so you believe that Maniac was the Flipper and chose VT, which means [redacted what I had here in my draft, I can always post it after night ends].

That's probably why I didn't understand your scumread on me at first, because I honestly just want to see N3 go through and hopefully [more redacted from my draft] and then that helps sort things out on D4. As it stands I'm really not sure who to believe, which means I feel sucked in by the most influential posters Brainbomb and Eden. But that's not good for town. I should be thinking through things on my own. I swear I'm trying.

If you do currently believe that Maniac was Flipper scum, then I don't see an argument (before D4) that would change you reading me as scum, if your entire feeling is based off Maniac's list.

Which I don't think is the case? It feels like you're withholding some thoughts for D4, which is totally reasonable. I'm just responding to what you kindly highlighted for me.

It would be much easier if you thought Maniac was VT and that he had a real scum read on me. To that I would just say, his entire scum read on me by EOD D2 was...because I was a low poster on D1? Which, I mean, that's why I voted Kak on D1
http://mafia.peterlund.se/e/web/msgs?us ... 7Cpyx&g=73

Maniac doesn't mention me ever again after D2. Probably because he was too busy defending himself? And theoretically as Flipper he wouldn't want to draw attention to any scum (i.e. me) that he tried to slip past you previously with his own scum read. Right?

I do scum read chaqa for already vocalising that if I flip miller I must be the flipper.

Brainbomb, Demon and Chaqa are your scum

In which case this quote seals the deal on your argument, Bona. Brainbomb has done great work for town. Chaqa was town on Maniac's first list, scum now that Flipper Maniac knows he's gonna die. Demon is just another person interacting with Maniac on D3, so Maniac throws him in for shits and giggles.

You do agree that "Brainbomb, Demon and Chaqa" are all town, yeah? I think I currently believe this to be true.

Meta-comment, let me know if this was a good response. The word "response" seems like slang for a specific kind of reply, in a way that I don't quite understand yet.

[pyxxy]

Unrelated did the bot end D3 when Bob said end day thingy and so the posts between Durga saying day over + the Maniac flip and Bob's post are wrongly labeled in the bot as D3 when they were really the beginning of N3?

[rdrivera2005]

If the JOAT is able, I think it now makes sense to shoot either Flum or rivera.

I think I am a bad target because I am town (but this is obviously something you can't know unless someone scan me, which is unlikely) and because I give less info when I flip VC. It's probably better to kill other people in the POE first.

[pyxxy]

Last thought for now, as I'm clogging the game thread. Let me know if I'm completely off base here.

I doubt that mafia is ever going to NK me, because as a newbie, I've got no experience with end game situations so I'm undoubtably going to be a weaker than average player for late-game town.

[Fluminator]

If the JOAT is able, I think it now makes sense to shoot either Flum or rivera.

I vote rdr

The bulk of the ghug "not voting scum" case collapses with Maniac as scum.
Jamiet lying when not under pressure to take out Maniac makes no sense as the alternative.

Rdr's reaction look like defeated scum who've lost 2 of their partners.

ok but hypothetically what do you think is the base case for shooting flum?

is JOAT pronounced joe-at or joat, rhymes with moat?

Hello.

I missed your hammer because I was in Leeds at a Napalm Death concert.

In case you're interested, they were quite good, but the support band, Raging Speedhorn, were the real stars of the show. Great band.

No reaction to the fact Maniac was VT? Hm

That's why I corrected you.

I am disappointed.

Unless he was the flipper.

If he wasn't, sorry Maniac.

I'll comment further later.
