he started actually trying and it felt more like town TFB to me. I think that was about the time I mentioned 'receipts' from him searching up damo's past games, but I'll have to go back through his posts to point out exactly what resonated. I just remember some genuine excitement over his theory in an exchange with I think Bunny
this was going to be a vca but it turned into a case.
damo's progression is mystifying to me.
this is at t-10h, roughly
this is only a few hours later, at t-6:17.
if you're going to be around at EOD, why on Earth would you vote someone you just got through saying you were unwilling to vote today, in order to "save" somebody else with six hours to go?
damo switches to lfischl around the 4hr mark, which is fair enough. but around the same time he's involved in some back-and-forth with TFB, who has become a lead wagon and is in his scum pool, yet he never votes TFB. TFB remained a viable wagon until the Bunny dogpile in the final minutes. damo instead ends the day on Bunny, someone he would not kill, having switched there to break a tie on Bona, someone else he would not kill, while TFB, someone in his scum pool, is viable the whole way down.
there have been other issues too:
- damo holds onto this "vote among the Bs" bit despite suggesting in multiple replies that it's a joke/not otherwise to be taken seriously. the reasoning is arbitrary as others (brain, I think TFB as well) pointed out.
- damo seemingly lock towns Chaqa based off of Chaqa riffing in an easily exploitable way off of an easily exploited "tell," committing himself for the final several hours of the day to saving Chaqa at the expense of consistency with his actual suspects.
- I've been reticent to mention this out of fear of it being sour grapes, but scumming me for expressing awe at our bad luck d1 struck me as an arbitrary grasp for a scumread less overtly nonserious than "vote among the Bs."
his whole game feels like he's just here to be here. I think it was the game I hosted recently where I noticed that when he's mafia he tends to construct arbitrary premises that allow him to reach superficially logical conclusions within those premises which advance scum's current agenda. obviously, I can't spell out for you exactly how he's doing it here, but his method here is indistinguishable (for me anyway) from his scum method.

And of course I couldn't resist one more "find on page" while waiting for the server to restart... sigh...
This is why Bona subtly moved to suspect #1 in lieu of Chaqa on my 2.0 list.
Arrogance in general, nothing. Bona proudly pointing out how excellent-point-filled their posts are after a gazillion of obvious shitposts sounds like Squealer from Animal Farm. Especially coupled with the whole "buddying" of newbies (myself included).ghug wrote: ↑Thu Feb 16, 2023 8:26 amWhat's scummy about arrogance?KoalaAttack wrote: ↑Thu Feb 16, 2023 1:27 amFirst Bona earns Townie points in my book for making an excellent points.Bonatogether wrote: ↑Thu Feb 16, 2023 1:16 am

I feel more grounded with the damo case for sure. The pieces fit together in my head pretty well.
My conclusions with ghug feel a bit surface level, but I can't figure out what he was trying to do.
They should both consider those open invitations to fill me in lol.
So he acted in pure self-preservation and went on lfischl thinking he was an easy kill. After seeing no vote gets on it for 3 hours (I am assuming given the timing of it he didn't see Flum's as he was writing his post) he decided to explicitly note that he wanted to join a popular wagon to save Chaqa.
Then he jumped to Bona, despite Bona being on his unwilling to vote list because he was the wagon with the most real steam behind it.
Then after seeing Bona's wagon lose two votes and a Bunny wagon rise quickly, picking up 4 votes in 3 minutes, Damo hops on a few minutes after and votes Bunny in an attempt to ensure he doesn't become the largest counterwagon as Bona's seems destined to fall apart momentum wise. In doing so he votes for yet another person he was unwilling to vote for and does so at EOD.
Being flexible and doing what you think is best when given shit options is good town play, but if I am to believe that was what Damo was doing I'd expect him to TRY to do something before resigning himself to making that tradeoff. But he didn't.
He shades Eden for something that to me seems NAI and then posts his contrived reads list which he then promptly ignores. At no point does he ever push a serious case or wagon on Eden despite tossing a vote on him. And yes he shades me as well, but he doesn't bother ever pushing it either with even a vote. To me that's indicative that Damo is scum scared to go to war head to head and lose not that he's on a scum team with the reads he made but never pushed.
Can't fault his read because it clearly worked to burn one miskill, but it's a shame we let it happen.

I don't want any such credit though – and I am not sure this is a townslip. You read rdr's "all 3 scum" to mean all 3 Mafia in the game, which I agree would be a Townie slip. But the reason I never saw it was I read it as "all 3 of the exactly 3 people he just called Mafia in the sentence before, red below"

Yes, it is D1. No, that isn't an excuse to do fuck all. Like yes there is a shitposting and RVS phase to it, but given that mafia have complete info about alignments and their own objective, you can eventually piece together a map of who is what on D1 with some level of accuracy.
You'll be wrong plenty, but like I said, that's not an excuse, because it's better for townies to do things that way than self-pres and punt on the day.

On my POV D1 is more of a popularity contest and anyone that is out of the usual way to play like Bona or Bunny or Chaqa usually end being a wagon.

Voted you based on admittedly flimsy case. A post of yours soon after made me rethink so decided to move vote. My priority was to avoid a Chaqa kill (I'm convinced he's town) and he seemed in grave danger. Chose Bunny to maintain the B theme (and he had gone quiet). Bit later decided to switch to fish to put pressure on and he's always a good vote.
Voted Bona to save Chaqa.
Switched back to Bunny as I thought him a better flip than Bona.
There's was no point voting TFB as he was voting me and could switch to Bona/Bunny to self save.
As for your last para I keep referring back to the obvious that it was day 1. The only good thing was the bad thing! That is Flum killing Jamie and the reaction to it gave us some meat.

damo switches to lfischl around the 4hr mark, which is fair enough. but around the same time he's involved in some back-and-forth with TFB, who has become a lead wagon and is in his scum pool, yet he never votes TFB. TFB remained a viable wagon until the Bunny dogpile in the final minutes. damo instead ends the day on Bunny, someone he would not kill, having switched there to break a tie on Bona, someone else he would not kill, while TFB, someone in his scum pool, is viable the whole way down.
there have been other issues too:
- damo holds onto this "vote among the Bs" bit despite suggesting in multiple replies that it's a joke/not otherwise to be taken seriously. the reasoning is arbitrary as others (brain, I think TFB as well) pointed out.
- damo seemingly lock towns Chaqa based off of Chaqa riffing in an easily exploitable way off of an easily exploited "tell," committing himself for the final several hours of the day to saving Chaqa at the expense of consistency with his actual suspects.
- I've been reticent to mention this out of fear of it being sour grapes, but scumming me for expressing awe at our bad luck d1 struck me as an arbitrary grasp for a scumread less overtly nonserious than "vote among the Bs."
his whole game feels like he's just here to be here. I think it was the game I hosted recently where I noticed that when he's mafia he tends to construct arbitrary premises that allow him to reach superficially logical conclusions within those premises which advance scum's current agenda. obviously, I can't spell out for you exactly how he's doing it here, but his method here is indistinguishable (for me anyway) from his scum method.
Voted you based on admittedly flimsy case. A post of yours soon after made me rethink so decided to move vote. My priority was to avoid a Chaqa kill (I'm convinced he's town) and he seemed in grave danger. Chose Bunny to maintain the B theme (and he had gone quiet). Bit later decided to switch to fish to put pressure on and he's always a good vote.
Voted Bona to save Chaqa.
Switched back to Bunny as I thought him a better flip than Bona.
There's was no point voting TFB as he was voting me and could switch to Bona/Bunny to self save.
As for your last para I keep referring back to the obvious that it was day 1. The only good thing was the bad thing! That is Flum killing Jamie and the reaction to it gave us some meat.

Criticizing the other wagons is not inconsistent with being mafia, it can be an effective scum ploy to get town read while pocketing the other players.TheFlyingBoat wrote: ↑Thu Feb 16, 2023 10:14 amI mean then find something on vibes and push it in a serious manner. I was the leading wagon and instead of hopping on the competing wagons at the time, I called them stupid like they were and pushed a wagon on someone I believed to be scum with an actual case.damo666 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 16, 2023 9:28 amFrom memory this is a pretty good summary of my town self pres vote r asoning.TheFlyingBoat wrote: ↑Thu Feb 16, 2023 8:35 am
I mean there is the alternative explanation, namely that damo did not care about his contrived read list when he was receiving a good amount of pressure entering EoD and just panicked and tried to ride momentum to get out and was afraid going head to head against me would get his head on a pike.
So he acted in pure self-preservation and went on lfischl thinking he was an easy kill. After seeing no vote gets on it for 3 hours (I am assuming given the timing of it he didn't see Flum's as he was writing his post) he decided to explicitly note that he wanted to join a popular wagon to save Chaqa.
Then he jumped to Bona, despite Bona being on his unwilling to vote list because he was the wagon with the most real steam behind it.
Then after seeing Bona's wagon lose two votes and a Bunny wagon rise quickly, picking up 4 votes in 3 minutes, Damo hops on a few minutes after and votes Bunny in an attempt to ensure he doesn't become the largest counterwagon as Bona's seems destined to fall apart momentum wise. In doing so he votes for yet another person he was unwilling to vote for and does so at EOD.
Being flexible and doing what you think is best when given shit options is good town play, but if I am to believe that was what Damo was doing I'd expect him to TRY to do something before resigning himself to making that tradeoff. But he didn't.
He shades Eden for something that to me seems NAI and then posts his contrived reads list which he then promptly ignores. At no point does he ever push a serious case or wagon on Eden despite tossing a vote on him. And yes he shades me as well, but he doesn't bother ever pushing it either with even a vote. To me that's indicative that Damo is scum scared to go to war head to head and lose not that he's on a scum team with the reads he made but never pushed.
Can't fault his read because it clearly worked to burn one miskill, but it's a shame we let it happen.
Re the weakness of the Eden or any other case it was day 1 before any flip! The only hard data we had was FLum vig and a dead cop
Yes, it is D1. No, that isn't an excuse to do fuck all. Like yes there is a shitposting and RVS phase to it, but given that mafia have complete info about alignments and their own objective, you can eventually piece together a map of who is what on D1 with some level of accuracy.
You'll be wrong plenty, but like I said, that's not an excuse, because it's better for townies to do things that way than self-pres and punt on the day.

That is not what I said.ghug wrote: ↑Thu Feb 16, 2023 8:34 amYou're accusing me of knowing that two specific people would switch back o once he already had several votes again, though. And it doesn't matter either way, because my intent was to keep the Bunny wagon alive and competitive even as I switched to Bona.bozotheclown wrote: ↑Thu Feb 16, 2023 4:12 amBunnyGo did not have any votes when ghug voted for him 13 minutes before EOD, but BunnyGo was a wagon 4 hours before EOD and had some players suspecting him, so I assume ghug was not randomly starting a new wagon and knew that there were likely players willing to switch back to BunnyGo.
I can see your EOD voting as trying to keep the wagons competitive, except that you seemed to only want it to be competitive between BunnyGo, Bonatogether, and damo, despite TFB being on your short list of players you would vote for.
Re: MAFIA 78: Random Facts [GAME THREAD] - [HIDDEN]
My principle objective was to save Chaqa who imv would have been a mk. Bona was already voting TFB but TFB was voting me and could switch to Bona making Bona the better bet from a Chaqa save pov. Also ofc Bona begins with B.bozotheclown wrote: ↑Thu Feb 16, 2023 12:15 pmWhy did you choose Bonatogether over TFB at the time you voted for Bonatogether?damo666 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 16, 2023 11:44 amOriginal vote anti BonaSpam and riding the B train
