Mafia XL - A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum

##vote Bo_sox

[Vecna]

My preferred lynchpool is pretty much:

Bo_sox
Bozo
Balki (probably give him the xorxes treatment and let him be a lightning rod or a d3/d4 lynch)

Apparently the mod randomed a scumteam with all the names starting with a B! If only Jamiet was still around to attack me for daring to question the randomize integrity.

Theres also a bunch of lurkers other meh players that have failed to leave a real impression:
Peter
DemonRHK
Worcej

Sigh.

I have withdrawn my request to sub out. Having slept on it, actually, why should I let Brainbomb's fuckery and stupidity deprive me of the ability to enjoy Mafia?

I will not post again until Foxcastle confirms I'm allowed to do so.

3) I think the style of that post was anti-town. The problem with this game is that everyone has a habit or style that is anti-town so it gets ridiculously hard to sort out what is a habit/playstyle and what is anti-town because you are scum. In this case, I don't think being lacking in detail drives a scum agenda in anyway, so I think it is probably more a thing of your playstyle that I dislike.

I appreciate this admission from Squigs, and I read him as town for it. I feel like a scum player pushes a scum read here; this feels more authentic.

Squigs is town, or crafty scum. Likely town.

Unless both are scum. I have done it before as scum, you push your teammate so you can either bus if needed or just let the pressure die. Just saying.

[Vecna]

What pressure?

[rdrivera2005]

What pressure?

Vecna, you are officially the new BB, you have a page only of yours, congrats.

The pressure on Ghug after that mix of bad jokes and obvious things. Squigs pointed it, did not vote Ghug and dismissed it with "it could be I dislike your style". Balki pointed it as towny and I don't agree as both can be scum. I agree it's highly unlikely Squigs is scum if Ghug is town.

[damo666]

Damo is incredibly defensive, I don't know why

Just a reaction to getting voted. I'm also pissed off with ghug's arrogance.

[damo666]

Your reading too much into it ND.

I don't like his intimation that I am 'terrible' and the reason (or lack of one) for voting for me. So naturally I point out the hole in his 'reasoning' and react to your post praising his.

Elaborate more on the hole you pointed out in the reasoning? That was about your Yav vote, correct? I also felt what you did with that vote was scum indicative hence part of the reason for my initial vote. Just because you unvoted doesn't make the initial action any less scum indicative in my opinion. Where's the hole? Because you unvoted it doesn't make it scum indicative? Am I understanding that right?

Yep

[damo666]

That’s quite a lot of townreads damo. Please flesh that out.

Based on flavour of posts. I haven't the time right now to quote relevant post(s) for each of townreads. I just read through and made a note of whose posts were possibly AI

While I'm not sure I agree that damo is being very defensive, this post of his worries me. He is being intentionally vague here. Also, the bolded part is hedgy.

At this stage of the game of course it's vague and if the word 'possibly' makes it hedgy then yes it's hedgy. I could hardly say defintely AI at this early stage could I? Come on Squigs, you know my game pattern all it a bit guessy before there's any meat to analyse. Further into the game I can be more analytical (if I'm allowed to get there).

Oh dear. I'm being defensive again I fear.

[damo666]

I townread the following (in no particular order):

Xorxes
thdfrance
worcej
Balki
R ike
rdrivera

Bo yet to post.

Yav may have scumslipped so ##vote Yav

Please explain your townreads on:
Bozo
Demon
Xorxes
worcej
Balki
R ike

Will do. Separately. In due course.

[damo666]

Vecna - why you voting Bo? Sorry if I missed your reasoning somewhere.

[brainbomb]

I will not post again until Foxcastle confirms I'm allowed to do so.

GM NOTE - I apologize for any misunderstanding. Im going through a very crazy time at my job and legitimately thought id missed a phase shift. I forgot the game began wed. I hope youll continue playing as long as fox is okay with that.

I really wasnt joking.

[xorxes]

No way. They're going to fearkill me. You're small potatoes, and only effective with an OP equalizer, in my experience.

I've been fearkilled early in all of my recent games as town. You haven't played for a while and people have forgotten they ever feared you.

People brag about the wrong things. The true art is in surviving and pushing through your reads to get that win for town. So like, can you fuckers scumread me a little more already?

You are being very towny this game.

[xorxes]

What pressure?

Vecna, you are officially the new BB, you have a page only of yours, congrats.

Towny post.

[damo666]

No real scumreads yet but gotta vote so will go with a light poster.

Of these peter is the biggest wagon so ##vote peter

[damo666]

Vecna- my townread of Bozo was based on the boxclaim discussion. His turnaround of viewpoint sounded pretty genuine to me.

[damo666]

Vecna - re my demon townread. I thought his initial post (252) was towny but on a reread of his yav vote it seems a tad forced. Downgrade demon to null.
