MAfIA 84 - A VERY TENDER THANKSGIVING GAME THREAD

[worcej]

What would motivate mafia to jump on that wagon with 5 minutes to go? Wouldn't they move or keep a vote planted?

Kind of dispels my "jamie as mafia" theory.

This feels like the exact WIFOM that any bus tries to accomplish

[worcej]

Ah...I hadn't meant to be that harsh. I was definitely frustrated a couple days ago when I couldn't understand him, and couldn't even discuss how team strategy games are different than diplomacy or the like.

I thought I had an epiphany about him and was understanding him better.

I'll step back if that's how I'm coming off. Sorry @Just. Feel better and have a happy thanksgiving.

Please don’t go away. I am a bad player, but I try to play a team game. I felt kind of attacked by your comment and I got defensive, and I unfairly criticized you. I am sorry @BunnyGo, please play the game, don’t feel pressured to change your vote because of this.

Happy thanksgiving. Again I am sorry for how I came off.

Nono. Bozo said I was being an a$$hole.

He was referencing a game where as scum I was quite cruel to a new player as a way to keep her off base and constantly keep her around till the end as a possible miskill.

It was not a good way to play. For many reasons. But not least of which it fosters an unhealthy community and doesn’t invite people in.

I do not want to do that. Nor was it my intention.

You’re fine. Keep being you.

The amount of coaching posts this game is making my head hurt…

[worcej]

Happy “we fucking murdered the indigenous for their land” day Americans!

Wait now, what theory?

I'm town.

##Vote Temasek

Temasek's iso is a poorly-stocked stationery cupboard of low-impact one-sentence posts.

That's something. Did they sufficiently change their posting style for you after this post?

A bit, yes.

[Chaqa]

I say 3

I like this new Chaqa who believes in bussing.

I'm going to say 1.7

I just saw that i was supposed to answer between 1 and 2, so I said 3.

[Chaqa]

I think it's a bit odd few people are throwing suspicion my way given how I've pretty much been a non-factor. I think there's probably some reading into who hasn't said much vs. the few who have, but maybe the thrill of catching mafia on Day 1 has stymied that.

[Chaqa]

I feel like D1 was SvS with BoNDatogether and Sweet, personally.

Maybe you have been trying to be a non-factor on purpose.

[Bonatogether]

voting for self-pres as i stated i would

##vote sweetandcool

Why did you not vote for Macca to put them in the lead if you were voting to avoid getting DKed?

Its's cause bona and I are s̶c̶u̶m̶buddies

new variations on contraction theory?

[Bonatogether]

You base this on my preference of board games and video games. Why do think I’m on this website? I like strategy games.

##VOTE BUNNY

Pulling shit out your ass for no reason.

You like strategy games. Most of us do.

But this is a team game. And I've been trying to understand how you play with others.

The answer has been...interesting. Depressing, but interesting.

Didn't he say this was his 2nd time playing? Give him some time to feel it out. Now that you have a theory about his thought process you can work better with him.

I haven't seen Bunny play as scum before so can't comment on his metas too much but this conversation generally feels townly? The repeated desire to understand how one person is working. Idk. Might spin more later i was tricked into doing a turkey trot

psychoanalysis that adds nothing to scumanalysis is not an inherently townie move.

also bongo only townreads me when he's scum

[Bonatogether]

ok chaqa has a cringe take

Or when you're scum...

We've yet to both correctly townread each other.

Someday our Thanksgiving timing will work out and we'll see each other for who we really are.

[ghug]

Happy Thanksgiving all.

This small town has come together in the spirit of Diwali, and we'll stay together all the way to the spirit of Channukah!

May God Bless us, each and every one.

And ##vote Hamilton

I would like to see where a Hamilton wagon will go ##Vote Hamilton Brian

I am sure you would. You and Bunny tied at the hip this game, or what?

This is certainly a response.

[ghug]

Thank you Jamie.

So far Jamie's answer is unique. Anyone want to say why?

Everyone else thinks the majority of the remaining scum didn't vote with them.

Correct

I blew it though.

[ghug]

What? 1.43?

It's quite interesting. If it's none or one we want to concentrate on non-sweet voters 2m (Tem/Macca). If it's 2 or 3 we want to stick to sweet voters (Will, you, ghug).

We don't know. I think the key thing I don't like doing in these cases is eliminating half the game from consideration in either direction. Look at the individual sweet voters to see who's more/less likely to bus. Look at the non-sweet voters to see who might have been trying to protect him. If there are two, it's plausible that one is a late voter like Jamie or Will who isn't getting much credit to begin with.

Out of curiosity, what makes worcej and Spirit towncore but not me or Bona?

You because of your possible deflection by the bussing post. Bona because I need something more to towncore him.

So I went from towncore to scummy in your mind by suggesting there was bussing, something the majority of the game agrees with?

I would argue that "a$$hole" isn't even censoring, it's just 1337$p34k.

I just do it to make sure I’m consciously swearing. Otherwise I’d be using such language an excessive amount.
