Mafia round 93: hot potato! (game thread)

[bo_sox48]

Sorry for literally not being here until now I shoulda tried harder to time travel

All good, you can test your theory now if you like

What is your read on Food?

Feels a little off and I’d be willing to vote for him

[DiplomacyandWarfare]

also @Dip Bunny and Jamie were both part of your solve and both have 1 vote other than you, why did you switch from Jamie to Bunny even though Jamie is voting you? Just curious about the reasoning.

because if I didn't, bo_sox, who was accusing me of being scum with bunny, was going to end up voting me, and like half the players here are coasting and will bandwagon on the biggest wagon. If I'm the biggest wagon 12 hours from EoD, I am probably going to end up dead between coasting town and coasting scum, therefore I cannot afford to be the biggest wagon, therefore I cannot afford to be voted by bo_sox at this time

TLDR: What are you at the TLDR for? Go read the info dump above, you asked for it

##VOTE bunny

Put your money where your mouth is

on a 1-vote wagon that gives bunny an excuse to join the wagon against me?
go convince will or damo or someone first, then I'm in

I should clarify that I consider 1 vote a 'vote', not a 'wagon'
that is where 'my mouth is' and therefore where my 'money' is going

How are you so bad at this game that I go from openly defending you to me actually thinking you’re just an idiot who happened to roll mafia with Bunny in like 10 posts

What is your read on Food?

will is trying to determine whether or not to scumread you in defense of food

That’s fine, he asked a fair question even if it was a bit of a redirect. You don’t have to get so worked up about people scumreading you when you’re town!

I have been defending you and I am for the record still defending you, knowing that if Bunny flips scum I'll look like an idiot for it specifically because of this exchange. You're clearly town in my eyes regardless.

You have a very sharp temperament and you're not going to die today. I suggest you step back and relax and stop spending so much energy on perceived slights against you. You very likely did not solve the game within 12 hours on day 1, so maybe try evolving your beliefs instead of playing angrily and fearfully.

I'm not actually an admin and haven't been for years. Kestas drove the entire admin team and his former co-owner out in one dramatic evening way back when. Not the first time a regrettable power struggle in the back rooms of webDiplomacy marred what was otherwise a good thing for the site, one of which was my fault. Regardless, he never removed my forum label, and I cannot ban or punish any of you, nor would I have ever done so.

Given you have since introduced at least three more scumreads no, I did not lol

[miminena]

hmm ok here's where i'm at rn

dw/jamie feels t/t, maaaaybe s/s but unlikely. i doubt scum would be this aggressive with a town, and this sort of argument fits both of them in such a way i doubt it's otherwise ai. potentially it could be theater (unlikely imo), but i doubt they're on different teams

i think will is acting weird towards dw. #367 directed to bo is rather snarky, whereas #380 for example referencing his conversation w/ dw potentially is attempting to make it look like they're not at odds while still shading him in the conversation. obv this doesn't mean much but it's d1 so it's still enough for me to ##vote justaguynamedwill

bunny isn't a bad vote either imo but not really preferred. the rest of the people with votes i actively town read atm

[miminena]

i'll have to look more into bo a bit idk abt them yet

haven't you played with jamie before?

no i have not

i've interacted with him on the forums before and this fits well within his character

[bo_sox48]

The trend toward only looking into and voting for high volume posters and ignoring lurkers even when half the roster is barely contributing if they are even meeting minimum requirements has me just about ready to townread everyone who is actually trying

sry for not contributing much so far

i'm active atm so maybe i'll make reads on other low posters

ok then here's background for you:
jamie is the most aggressive mafia player on the site (unless there's someone even more so in the forgotten days of yore).

this is something that regularly happens
but do we wagon the player who lurked the entire day, then showed up to tie at eod?
no, we do not.
why?
I have no idea.

hmm ok ig i'll have to rethink him

still think will reasonably could be scum

Most players still need to vote.

rdrivera2005, Chaqa, Red Neurax, Control V, and worcej all need to stop being couch potatoes and meet posting requirements.

Currently no one is on the chopping block.

Just under 24 hours remain in the day.

I don't care who you make reads on so long as they come with some conviction and aren't just walls of text talking about NAI this and that, but your list of people you have given any thought to whatsoever is just a list of the top 5 posters on the day thus far in terms of post count
