Mafia 86: Accidents Happen... - Game Thread

[foodcoats]

Ghug- I can’t say whether or not Bunny is doing this, but personally I haven’t noticed it.

Jamie- I am null on Jamie. I don’t understand why Bunny thinks he is so town. He has markedly less participation than two games ago (I didn’t pay attention to last game cuz I got murked), but that may be because no one has argued with him

Food- I think food is town. He seems to be playing a similar way to his last (town) game, but not in a way that feels intentional, like Frog

Hamilton- I have seen Hamilton around, but he hasn’t given me much to go on. Idk what this means, but I want to remember it

Froggggg- Am not certain of his mafia-ness. Could be completely wrong. Heard it here first, I am probably going to switch my vote.

Chaqa- Chaqa is null. He has done town things and scum things that cancel each other out.

Sweet- as Bunny said, his scumtell: “If I want to throttle sweet through the screen, he’s town”

Heart- no opinion on heart. Barely even noticed he was here. Maybe lurking? (I think i’m using that term right)

It’s interesting that bunny and will both totally read sweets soul. It’s not well quoted here but i assume will is referring to one of bunny’s first posts where he says sweets bad attitude makes him town. Crazy. Well done. I also noticed Sweet was way easier to get along with this game but i chalked that up to us understanding each other better after bashing heads a bit last game.

Why are you noting that Bunny and Will did this but not ghug?

I said it later, along with great pity for sweet.

[foodcoats]

I need to go for a run so I need to vote now. I kind of sheep brain to the point that I'd vote along one of his lines even if he didn't stick with it.

##Vote Bunny

Plus sweet is on that wagon and I kind of vibe sweet too.

First time I picked sweet up for Ham too, EOD anchor from ham.

Hey ham what made you feel good about sweet at the time? Has your feeling about brain and/or Bunny changed?

See my post above regarding Bunny. Regarding sweet, I just didn't get a icky feeling from them. Regarding Brain, I need to dig into it more but my logic was: kind of get where Brain is working from, and without much more information to go on, drop the vote on Bunny vs Sweet. Does it change my feeling on Brain? I don't know; I'd say I am a bit more suspect, but then they didn't go with their initial statements of scum, so... Consider me a bit conflicted.

So you are saying you felt you had to decide between Bunny and Sweet and townreading brain led you onto Bunny?

[heartthrob24909]

I'll be on for a bit as I catch up. Sorry for the absence, tonight's city council meeting was a long one.

They elected YOU to the City Council?

Haha no but I'm involved with urbanist and cycling advocacy. I might run in 2026 or 2028 to unseat one of the two more obstructive councilors, but who knows.

hate to come back on a not game related post but this is sick

For the record, that was last game I said that. I also said I intended to find at least a better way to say it. I don't like that as a tell. It leads to things like Jamie being performative angry. I don't want that, and I don't intend to use it going forward.

Okay I thought he was paraphrasing this, but whatevs.

Sweet continues sucking at this game. But good news! His bad attitude from life makes me want to punch him! Town!sweet for now.

Yeah...not me at my best. I'm trying to be a better Bunny though. The only things I edited from my GT posts were where I thought I was being too big a jerk.

As in this exchange is sickening or its sick that chaqa is into riding his bike everywhere?

Our city is getting the first protected bike lanes in the region. It's a really big win and probably going to be a watershed moment. I'll be really glad to be able to safely ride my bike to the downtown and grocery store or maybe let my kid ride with me someday

[Chaqa]

My girlfriend felt the baby move or possibly kick for the first time today

[heartthrob24909]

I can. A judge has to weigh both sides of an argument. I want to judge as accurately as possible.

Some of Bunny's posts can be excused as satire. Some look suspiciously fake.

When did you decide to start scum reading bunny, sweet?

eh, but I could also see the reverse where bb was quick to see the purity of hearththrob....

While I could also see this frog stuff all being very easy questions at a rather close-to-the-surface level.

I've tended to be impressed by Frog's line of questioning.

Since "sickening" is actually high praise in the modern lgbt vernacular I'll go with the former

protected with a physical barrier, or protected as in there's a line and some space?

We have almost none of the former here, but quite a lot of the latter.

[heartthrob24909]

To the GT:

I'm gonna cut brainbomb some slack since he's definitely busy and point him to post number 54.

he's so proud he remembered to cross-reference it

I consider this a break of character for Bunny who said he would not talk to the players while doing his GT thing. I think this is cheating and am bringing it up again mostly as a reminder to myself to look at why this of all posts he'd seen so far caused him to do this

[foodcoats]

In the matter of Chaqa v sweetandcool the court presents Chaqa’s entire bibliography with respect to the godfather.

here's where I'm at

I think I've explained the non-null reads in my postings, but I can elaborate if needed.

I will not vote Bunny, food, or sweet today.

I'm not really seeing any reason to vote Hamilton either.

##Vote sweet

Good catch from food.

[brainbomb]

meanwhile at the X games:

Tony Hawk: were here today with bozotheclown who is about to start his second run. bozo is a guy, were not sure where from. He declined to be interviewed and when asked what he plans to do if he wins this ultimate cycling contest he mentioned that the other contestants seemed suspicious.

tony hawk: Okay well it looks like bozo is off on his run. And wait a second theres a fellow competitor running out onto the track.

heartthrob: this is sick. not to be a distraction but wow, a bike. i had a bike once. It had training wheels and then I got really sick.

(Interrupting and grabbing the mic)
Chaqa: I was once an advocate of all things cycling. I once attempted a triple 360 jacknife with my pregnant girlfriend sitting on the handlebars. i even landed it.

Heartthrob: sick man. This is some sick stuff.

Tony Hawk: Okay and bozo has completed his run. But he appears to have left the stadium and has continued riding off into the city. He seems to just be gone folks.

Heartthrob: Sick as fuck. Totally balls.

(The walls explode and Justaguynamed will enters with a bazooka)
will: OH YEEAAAH WHOS READY TO FEEL SOME EXTREME BMX BIKING

Chaqa: me. im literally an advocate for it.

I was gonna finish catching up first but if you want to say something then by all means do so

As much as he said not to give him a crutch or slack...he's dealing with a toddler, a newborn, and the NICU. I needed to save him some brain space.

Essentially, yes.

[brainbomb]

Holy shit will out posted me day 1.

[heartthrob24909]

I've actually started off looking at bunny again (I am going to look at ghug, Will, brainbomb, and Food, hopefully I have the time).

I thought maybe my scumreading him and voting him based on his first post was harsh, but the more I look at him the more he looks bad.

Bunny's first post seemed insincere because he threw in an obligatory degradation of Will and sweetandcool, when we hadn't done anything yet to warrant it.

His first post of page 3 he decides to townread me, because I mentioned I'm grumpy about life. I still couldn't have possibly done something to make him frustrated with me, and he even references that he needs a better way to read me. Again, this is clearly Bunny saying things he has said in past games, but he has no reason to make those comments.

Third post of page 3 is interesting if Bunny is scum. Could he be teammates with brainbomb?

First post of page 4, maybe it's a casual post or maybe it's a way to spread some stink on me. Bunny seems to want to town me and scum me at the same time.

Last post of page 8 actually makes me mad now that I'm rereading it. Is scum Bunny trying to make us look like teammates?! I'm really not liking his interactions with me (I wasn't planning on cherrypicking his posts that refer to me, but those are the ones that keep pinging me the most).

2nd post of page 9, he agrees with brainbomb and continues to negatively comment on Food. There have been a few posts about Food that don't ping me, but it's interesting how he seems to be buddying brainbomb. Is brainbomb town or are they being obvious partners to the point that we can't think they are partners? Or is it a bus on Food? I haven't felt bad about Food but I do worry about potential pocketing. Food's been too easygoing with me, and it makes me wary.

Several posts later: Jeeze, Bunny become fixated on brainbomb. Not towning or scumming brainbomb really, just mentioning the hell out of him.

Okay, at this point I've concluded Bunny is probably scum. He is currently gunning for Food. Bus or MK?

I was planning on saving Food for last, but I think I'll look at him next. Then onto my accusers.

This has prob been resurfaced between its time of posting and now, but reading it with the hindsight of knowing sweet is scum and without knowing the circumstances that caused him to be voted out -- but knowing he wasnt in much danger at this moment -- does make Bunny look better to me I think? I feel like this is the kind of post you make planting the seed for a feud you expect to last several rounds.

Will be curious to read on and see if sweet also started a Food fight.
