Mafia 85: Return from Lockdown

[brainbomb]

Jesus, I only need two posts to be the games top poster.

Are you surprised by this? I think I've seen you top more games than not

I thought the game began sat at 9 ET, I spent the evening at the hospital with my wife as we are expecting our son to come into the world any day now. instead we were told everything is fine, but he isnt coming today, maybe next week. So when I logged into webdip I was quite surprised to see that 9ET on the game page is actually friday at whatever time this started lol. so yes, a dozen pages in, I am surprised I am top poster after missing the first 7 pages

[brainbomb]

Okay, I go to sleep now,
if you are scum, keep talking and leaving evidence of the scummy-ness. please do that.

this game is unique in that the town PR who are important dont know that they are even important, which is why I would be more sus of someone like Jamie here, or someone like Chaqa here who knows their role, and if it is town they know there really is a slim chance they are someone important. I dont think either of them played normally with that possibility in mind. I think they have both played as if they need to "do" some posts to look active as opposed to really getting invested.
And really why in gods name would any of us get a normal role PM, and do anything other than get curious? invested? compelled?

Is that a fair criticism? I dont know that Jamie entry and vote come from a place of curiousity about who could be scum. I dont know that town chaqa takes this route where he has no idea what his role is, whereas scum chaqa maybe sees this as a chance to attempt a joke and messes it up.

or scum jamie just latches onto something because its easy

Does scum Jamiet latch onto easy things any more than town Jamiet? I feel like I'd have done something by now that would be easy pickings.

I think Jamiet was just here for launch of game. Lack of activity since then is not indicative of anything.

Over the last 3 games, I’ve noticed that usually people who are scummy right out of the gate tend to just be unlucky and also victims of mafia manipulation. I don’t feel that lfishl should be suspicious just because of that.

I feel like these guys couldn't be scum together, this is waaay to blatant if Ifishl flips scum

Although.. if he flips town This would turn v scummy

So he was just here for the launch of the game - is better than just null? or what?

So you see it as town filler?

I could easily see Chaqa posting that as either alignment, it doesn't necessarily read as scum post-count ballooning to me.

why would town chaqa do that?

Because he's bad at making jokes.

[brainbomb]

way too many people want to behave like day 1 scumreads are something better than just sophist guesswork. if you wanna say my mafia reads are guessing games ill be fine to agree that im just leveraging ideas

[brainbomb]

if your best response is I dont think this means anything

they dont want anyone to think it means anything so youre already not thinking like the evil version of them

Okay, you caught me, I'm hedging again.

I dont even see where there is a joke there - or a a botched one. all I saw was a string of nervous energy posts that seemed like filling post
quota

The joke he appeared to be trying to make was the "everything I say is a joke" paradox. I agree it was not his strongest "Hi I'm Chaqa and I don't care about D1" ever, but to me it came off as poorly written, not nervous. Maybe he was trying to make it less aggressive to avoid it standing out as much. It clearly didn't work though, we've spent like 10 posts talking about it now.

[BobMcBob]

I think sweetandcool seems reasonably towny for now. The jokes seemed relatively carefree, and his last post was a pretty good shift to actually being serious.

I don’t know, my role PM was redacted who?

Uhhh... Vanilla town.

##vote Bob

Could that actually be a slip?

Nobody has a Vanilla Town role.

[Jamiet99uk]

Ignore the second post in this group.

Look at this guy trying to pad out his post count to make it look like he's been active in the game.

Jamie, how on earth is anything there a slip?
