Re: MAFIA 78: Random Facts [GAME THREAD] - [HIDDEN]
we can go back and look at all the interactions and reread them with the knowledge that it's town jimmy. a fair amount of it is jamie complaining about shitposting which doesn't tell us anything, but for a few interactions, that'll actually be useful.
also provides us with info on how other people were interpreting jamie

I haven't trolled at all this game yet. I found a contradiction in Jamiet's posting and his response was to gaslight me that I was bad and a bad person and I didn't feel like dealing with it.
Like I said I should have just replaced out in hindsight, and it appears I am actually just genuinely bad at this game.

I don't even get what it is you think you saw, but arguing with you about it also isn't going to do any good.Fluminator wrote: ↑Wed Feb 15, 2023 12:56 amI haven't trolled at all this game yet.

based on what exactly? I think in past games I've proven to be a pretty damn good hunter as town. Shitposting early, as dumb as it may seem to you, does generate actual useful tells that help create a town core and catch scum.
this post is scummyyyyy
Re: MAFIA 78: Random Facts [GAME THREAD] - [HIDDEN]
At the end of the day, the only thing differentiating scum from town is knowledge. Nobody but Jamie knew he was cop. Nobody but Jamie and scum knew he was town. Jamie knew nothing but that he was cop.Bonatogether wrote: ↑Wed Feb 15, 2023 12:56 amwe can go back and look at all the interactions and reread them with the knowledge that it's town jimmy. a fair amount of it is jamie complaining about shitposting which doesn't tell us anything, but for a few interactions, that'll actually be useful.

Interesting that I have made no impression on you.
I am a charismatic and memorable individual noted for my sense of humour and occasionally short temper.
Feel free to ask me a question.
I would interpret "tricky" in the context of this game as "tricky to read". Someone who is tricky to read is harder to sort as town or scum. This tends to give them an advantage as scum (since people may misread them as town), and conversely a slight disadvantage when they are town (since they are more likely to be wrongly scumread).
People who fall into this category, in the present game, would include:
Me, Jamiet99uk: I am often mis-read, whatever my alignment. I can often get people to consider me obv-town when I am in fact Mafia, and quite often when I am town, I am mis-accused of being scummy. In particular I am relatively often accused of "faking" my town behaviour when, in fact, I am perfectly sincere. This is because the sincerity of a lot of my statements does not vary depending on alignment (only my motivation does).
Fluminator: Flum spends so much of his time trolling and being disingenuous that when he suffers from an occasional burst of honest sincerity, nobody can tell. He's a smart guy but he's hard to read. Certainly "tricky" as scum.
Ghug: Ghug, likewise, is difficult to read and tends not to have a terrifically different meta as town or scum, although I believe there are differences. Ghug can be very insightful as town, especially if he gets to the late game. As a result, Town!Ghug very rarely gets to the late game.
Bozotheclown: Playing against Scum!Bozo is like playing poker with a refrigerator.
And an honourable mention:
TheFlyingBoat: Poor old TFB suffers from what I might describe as "reverse trickyness", in the sense that a lot of people apparently find it almost impossible to consider that he might be town, even when he is town. People like Bona always scream that he is scummy even when he exhibits very mild scummy characteristics. This game is already a potentially good example of this with various people apparently strongly scumreading him for what appear to be very minor things. Now watch him get killed early, flip scum, and everyone pile on to me for "protecting my team mate".
Note that I am not saying I scumread any of these people in the current game.
I was merely answering the question.

Jamie isn't cop or doc, so you can shoot him.

I would have loved to, it took all my willpower not to lol. Which is probably why I had none left when talking to Jamiet.
But I also have a slight town read on you unfortunately annoyingly enough
