Mafia 91 - Battle for the Sunset Strip - GAME THREAD [Hidden]

[brainbomb]

I found the post

##VOTE Brain

I worship bunny and will imbibe his scrotum for how insightful and accurate he is.

The reason this thread is hidden becomes more clear by the hour

This seems to take a side in the me vs bunny stuff
Indirectly rather than addressing any of
My arguments you took the side that its my fualt the game is hidden for a very obvious sarcasm instance. Rather than addressing even a single
Iota of my talking points vs bunny

[brainbomb]

Something about the way brain speaks just feels like hes using big words just for teir own sake

Another shade on me to dismiss my posts and feed into the narrative that im making stuff up

[brainbomb]

Of the cases that have been produced so far what talking point do you find the most compelling?

[GlitterBomb]

1. Brainbomb

2. Ghug - has taken some stances, moved votes around to a few people. Nothing stands out as super scummy to me. Slight scumlean.

3. BunnyGo - has posted a good amount and seems extremely skeptical of me. Null but activity is more in par with his town meta. Has refused to engage with me and actively dismissed efforts to discuss the game with me. Was begging to talk to anyone but me and became very rude and shut down all efforts to talk.

4. Glitterbomb - null, I assume will play later.

5. Chaqa - has posted and pledged he will Shoot someone; worcej found that towny. Seems to think its stupid that anyone would scumread him. Scumlean

6. damo - no posts

7. Flavius no posts

8. JustAGuyNamedWill- has posted and seemed to imply he couldnt find the game thread. Has chirped up a bit more expressing skepticism of sparta and glitter. Made a comment implying glitter and I are low income and shop at dollar stores? Not sure why that was said but okay. Slight scum

9. Yoyoyozo - no posts but was browsing the thread earlier

10. SpiritoftheRadio - a flurry of activity overnight, formed some quick scumreads. Seems to find bunny suspicious. Spirit is probably not as awkward as he was in spy vs spy game. Hasnt done much; moving to null

11. Spartaculous - asking theoretical questions about the setup and gimmicks. Voted damo early same as prior game. could be a decent thing to ask about since he seems to wonder if gimmicks work; wondering if he considers voting damo a gimmick? Balki scumreads him but vecna likes him. Null

12. worcej - had alot to say. Had some reads. Finds me scummy and said I seem
Nervous; and that he thinks my posts are too wordy. Probably town.

13. Balki caught up and chastised me for asking the wrong types of questions. Seems to like worcej and distrusts sparta. Made a case on sparta and has mostly focused there. Null

14. Vecna dropped his gimmick and thinks sparta is town. Seems to townread me and glitter also. Maybe town

I didn’t mean for that comment to be taken badly, it was more just funny cuz ‘bomb family’ sounds like a violent version of the addams family

I was confused by it but not offended! The dollar store tie in was weird to me but I think I see what you meant with it. And I have no shame in admitting that I love the dollar store and do shop there from time to time, especially for holiday decor!

[GlitterBomb]

Will, I think the fastest way we can prove to brain we aren't scum partners, is for us to vote and hammer him so he can admire our innocence from the god thread

This is weird for me because of obvious reasons, but I’m trying to stay as objective as possible. Bunny threw out why he’s suspicious of Brain because of the way he’s posting. That was early early though. Doesn’t seem things got much better between the two of them. Fair - I’m not used to how he posts, you all are. But other than him, what/who else are we considering at this point? I’ve liked the “food for thought” questions Brain has been posting but few are answering them, including myself.

[GlitterBomb]

OK, getting into it and responding to what I missed since I’ve been working.
It was said that Glitter needs to explain how Glitter plays – agreed! And I thought I’ve been doing that. Will continue to do so. Here’s some points to get us going.

The Vecna/me thing identifying as a newbie has been massively overblown. I mentioned in one of my first posts not having played with several of the players that are in this game. And then Vecna came in as an all-caps robot (which I wasn’t expecting because their first post was a non-robotic “yay”) asking for me to identify myself, which is what I did. I also clarified this (myself) in post 91 first thing this morning.

Other Vecna observations… Post 36 raises concerns for me. Why is Vecna stating that Spartaculous’s probability of continued survival are low? It seemed like they were specifically calling out Spartaculous, but it may have been everyone that the comment was directed at despite tagging Sparta’s post? Intriguing to me.

Post 49 could be interpreted as me defending Vecna…. But I was just engaging in conversation with Sparta about Brain’s comment saying that gimmicks can be potential tools.

Post 55 – Spartaculous states that everyone survives D1 and we go into N1 as 14 – is that true? Aren’t we voting someone out during the day and subsequently going into N1 as 13? Am I missing something?

Defending Brain? Maybe a bit, but I’m also usually always looking at every perspective. I agreed with Bunny that I noticed a lack of small talk and that I didn’t necessarily get a scum read out of that because if I did then I’d have to say that about a good chunk of the players in this game who go right into business. Vecna’s assertions that I’m protectively shielding Brain based on those minor comments I made are wild.

I never said people weren't friendly. If anything, just lots of personalities which is to be expected. What frustrates me is the number of inactive folks.

And as far as playing differently based on what I’ve learned in my other games, I’ve been trying to take it all in and adjust, yes. But I also do believe there’s something to be said for gut. My first game I suspected and voted for Eden because of massive amounts of posts and directives. I listened to others and turned my attentions elsewhere and turns out, I was right in the end. So that’s what made me paranoid about Bunny in my second game. He seemed to be posting similarly to how Eden did, so I was wary of it. I was wrong. Also in my second game, Worcej went all mechs heavy. I don’t know if that’s a common thing for folks to do in most games, but I don’t recall it really happening much in my first. The amount of analysis Worcej did made me totally let up my guard on him (for the tiny bit that was maybe remaining suspicious) and turns out he was scum. So I’m hesitant to say that Spartaculous is scum just because of the probability/mechs post. What I’ve been trying to do is group behaviors across players and that doesn’t necessarily seem to be applicable. So that’s what I’ve mainly learned and am using to adjust how I play.

Back to work I go!

im ditching the gimmick as its already tiresome.

This wall is a major towntell.

Why? Because Glitterbomb is scared of being associated with me. Looking bad for defending me.

Genuine fear of my slot potentially being scum and potentially smearing their reputation.

Scum would not act this way, unless we were both scum

Oh no! Didn’t break the robot?! Sorry! The dedication was admirable though!

I have eliminated worcej from my list of potential victims tonight.

I say victims because I assume I will hit town.

So you’re just complacently throwing out that you’re going to kill town - but what are you doing to try to avoid that? I’ve seen nothing from you in posts other than saying you’re definitely gonna shoot someone, you somehow seem worcej town and the robot and brain annoy you. Instead of actively trying to engage and determine who the correct folks could be you’re saying that you’re going to have a victim? Open wolfing? While posting the bare minimum?

Wondering on Balki, I know when he is mafia he picks a person to make a case against and then tries to sit on that. In M89 it was foxcastle and then he did it again in that beehive game against Eden. So it hasnt escaped me that Balki could be just using his scum playbook vs sparta here.

Still havent seen enough from Balki that tells me he wants to find more townreads and actually build a coalition

[brainbomb]

in all seriousness, this is a real read. I got got last time because you seemed SO town, but like... that's not you this game at all. Not sure if you did that because you were the only scum that game and it rode on you, because you normally fuck around and get scum read regardless of alignment. This doesn't seem like fucking around though, it seems a bit too reactive and it doesn't feel right. The bb I know would let worecj and the others scum reads roll of their back like water. But you're not. You're acting defensive and scum hunting at straws.

This sort of translates that when I flip town you want all of this to be blamed on worcej and not bunny

[brainbomb]

If you must know what im scumhunting is middling posters. It just so happens theyre all scumreading me. Surely it cant be an omgus if its all of them

[brainbomb]

This day is probably going to be me or you dying. Wanna talk?

I’m definitely gonna shoot someone because I took a N1 gun.

Who is the robot? Is bozo playing?

Brain doesn’t annoy me. He’s actively being destructive to town and it’s better if we just kill him if he doesn’t sort himself out.

Also you’re taking the “having a victim” thing so literally is odd to me when it’s clearly a self deprecating joke.

I don’t think we’ve played together before so I’ll give you a pass for it, but brain knows better.

I’ve actually been thinking about Sparta’s third-person story way more than is normal since he posted it. It’s just floating around in my brain.

##unvote

It makes sense to me. Especially the part where he focused on the mechanics before the game started, and he was eager to jump in and discuss that with others. Hence his Steve Buscemi comment. And hence his probability numbers post.

I could see that progression from either alignment.

I just totally don’t get this point of view, Chaqa.

[brainbomb]

Openly destructive to town in what way at all?

Robot was Vecna’s gimmick.

And I clearly don’t pick up on humor on here very well yet. Like even joke votes have been mostly lost on me (minus the initial Damo vote which Ibkaughed at bc I was in the last game with him…)

I feel like we are focusing too much on one person, kinda like I’ve seen dine many times in my other games and then when it’s wrong we start over. So why not have other options and suspects?

Also, I would argue that people who aren’t active at all or barely are just as “destructive” to town….

What other dialogue was happening that the bunny/brain drama took from?

I feel like this is a massive distraction.

[brainbomb]

Who is townreading ghug?

Who is townreading Bunny?

Who is townreading Spirit?

Wanna get more dialogue
