sweetandcool, how would you describe the way you play mafia?

I don't want to spoil it for you (:

Clearly my endvotes are jokes at Kak's expense. Enjoying the thread so far. Don't misread brainbomb, he's probably pretty busy right now.

is your throat a little dry
is your brain a little fuzzy

you were a busy bee
but now youve lost your buzzy

you buzz and buzz and buzz
until your all red in the face

its your body trying to tell you
you need a break
a break
a break
a break
a break

meant not really instead of probably not for the first question sorry if it was confusing

Nah you're good, I understood. I asked you specifically those Qs because you pinged me as scummy in your first few posts and I wanted to give you a chance. I no longer think you are scummy.

if you don't mind me asking, how experienced with mafia are you?

I can't tell if you're asking me about my scum range or how experienced I am with the game in general. My scum range isn't impressive, I don't like lying to people, I'm good at cop hunting though. I played live chat mafia a lot, maybe like a thousand hours or so, way too much and mostly in high school. I've played a bunch of forum mafia games too but not to the same magnitude as live chat.

Frogster, why haven't you asked me anything yet?

Do you have any scumreads yet?

I feel like I have played with players similar to you before and I think you are +town here. I don't expect you to say anything really telling in response to being questioned. I'm a little curious though about who you have experience with in the player list and if you have any solid meta reads other than lfishl.

I wish I had a good scum read but I haven't locked onto anyone yet.

What motivated you to add this part of the post?

I don't like ignoring people, but I didn't want to answer his question. So I threw in my most salient thoughts at that moment, just to sweeten my response.

Aside from new players, I haven't played with BK3K, heartthrob, will or sweet before.

I feel like Jamie and Kak are both acting pretty normal for them so far. Nephthys "picking a fight" with fisch so early seems pretty standard for him. Brain and Bunny are also normal but not in a way that I think makes them more likely to be town. I've got nothing from worcej. (Yes I'd already said most of that).

It's okay, I won't get mad.

I feel like sweet is trying too hard. I'm also feeling left out of the gimmick club.

You are the only serious player. That is the gimmick.

not anymore. i have a gimmick now

This is probably a bad take but maybe it will lead to something better:

They are a lack of and combination of all colors. So no, I do not think so

If you asked a random sample of 100 people the question "What colours are the two sides in a game of chess?" I think that the majority of people would give an answer mentioning white and black. Don't you?

Neeeed to meet someone who would answer this with "all of them and none of them"

This setup is interesting in terms of D1 because nobody knows anything except:

i) Their alignment, and
ii) IF their alignment is Mafia, the identities of their team-mates.

So it's essentially a pure vanilla D1.

Should we ask sweet if he has any vanilla pudding left over from D1 last game to share?

I kind of feel scum!heart trying to pocket town!jamie in these posts.

This may be helpful for us to work who we are eventually

Scan returns
Success/Failure
- Doctor
- Curfew Enforcer
- HR
- Lobbyist
- ANYONE if RB etc

Town/Mafia
- Detective
- Internal affairs (Town only)
- ECO

Role
- PI

Delivered/Undelivered
- PDB
- Door darter

Targets target
- Ruber Driver
- Middle manager

Specific person
- Pollster

Anything
- Mail man

Pointing out that this list appears to only include town roles. Also, I'd argue that there isn't really a distinction between "targets target" and "specific person" since I think in both cases you just get a name back. My list is a little different from yours in at least one place but I'll hold off from posting it if people are gonna frown at a mechanics discussion this early

I thought this was a classic TvT thing at first until I considered the bolded part.

I could argue scum!heart had like an adrenaline rush when the game started and that carried them through the early banter and then they kind of ran out of steam.

Makes sense, thank you

[Frogsterking]

Let's talk about something else.

I believe we have three brand new players. Welcome to them.

I think this is +town

After posting this you then decide heart was defending jamie. and provided the reasons as to why; which is fine and I can see what you mean on that. However my concern is that you became self aware that all youve done up to now is townread a bunch of people: neph, and others

and to be honest I think you townread people off of total nothingburgers, many of those takes you didnt really quantify why.

then suddenly you say you havent scumread anyone so far, and you go back and just conjure up the first associative read you can put forward:

which one did you find scummy first?
Jamie or Heart?
