Mafia 47 - The Sixth Mass Extinction - GAME THREAD [HIDDEN]

[e.m.c^42]

I dont think emc has handled this well at all tho.

You are absolutely correct.

[bo_sox48]

I have a theory about the usefulness or even the possibility of a D1 bus, but I need to get in touch with the GMs first and see what they say. I will report back when I hear, or maybe one of the GMs will post the answer in here if they feel like it is useful.

[e.m.c^42]

so far:

I don't feel Fox is scum, just slightly misguided town, if only because it's a stupid reason to start a serious vote like he did, for policy lynch. Don't like how he's spent so much time upon it though - unless this is some type of reaction-let's-watch-bandwagon-baiting.

(EP, in response to the question you asked awhile back, day 3 onwards)

I have no clue what damo is doing with his vote reasoning, except that my tone is less depressively-paranoid?

[bo_sox48]

You'll find this multiple times in your catch-up on the thread, but it's a policy lynch to change his play style—i.e., landing a last-minute vote and leaving no vote record to analyze—which is very anti-town no matter if it's innocent or calculated.

Oh you support policy lynches now?

Then AS USUAL I see that MOSCOWFLEET has posted ONCE.

Moscow lurks EVERY game and has a much longer criminal record than anything EMC has ever done.

You like policy lynches??

##VOTE MOSCOWFLEET with me then.

Put your policy lynch where your big mouth is.

I was about to make a similar (but much less aggressive) post after I caught up, But Jamiet beat me to it.
##Vote Moscowfleet

Why much less aggressive? You might not be able to bring it like Jamie brings it but I don't see why you would want to be less aggressive.

[bo_sox48]

Im still unimpressed by chaqa, and espresso. those can be cfd options.

What is cfd?

[e.m.c^42]

to further iterate: most of you started the damn policy thing before there were any half-assed votes for scumreads from the majority of the players.
I refused to vote then as I didn't have any clue, and bullshit from me would appease but not help.

##VOTE Jamie

Why?

I was voting for the player you replaced.

[bo_sox48]

The player he replaced never posted or even showed up, no?

[foodcoats]

I never feel like much happens in these games anymore. day 1 in a webdip mafia game used to be this marathon of nonstop excitement that built to a pulse rattling, jump out of your seat culmination.

What Bo said in his/her great wall of text above resonated with me, insofar as webdipmafia seems to be a massive meta circlejerk instead of more play-oriented (compared to the couple games I played on mafiascum anyway). rdr and xorxes debating whether xorxes is likely to be bussing emc if emc is scum based on xorxes' meta is an absolutely ridiculous example. This environment seems to encourage people to basically not even play, perhaps because they're afraid of being hounded for their meta in the future; damo's posts are absolutely horrendous and I can't understand how someone would want to play the game this way unless it is just a long con.

brain, earlier today you were suspicious of worcej. I've been staring at worcej's posts a lot because they are very different from the other game I played with him/her when they were town. They were much humbler and quieter there. Now I find worcej is almost playing like you: spastic and elusive. Irreverent. Bombastic.

So what made you suspicious of worcej?

[bozotheclown]

The player he replaced never posted or even showed up, no?

Correct.

[bo_sox48]

I keep hearing grumbles about damo and yet only Vecna is voting for him. Anyone want to hold that torch or is it too hot?

##VOTE Jamie

Why?

This is atrocious logic. You were voting a lurker, Jamiet posted more then half the other players.

[bo_sox48]

The player he replaced never posted or even showed up, no?

Correct.

Okay, so you're voting for the replacement of a guy who never posted or even showed up, and you're continuing to vote for him without explicating any rationale for doing so even though the replacement player is active.

Interesting strategy.

[bozotheclown]

I feel like I need to post something at least mildly useful, but am drawing a blank atm.

roleplaying my animal here is fun.

Are you claiming tree stump?

[bozotheclown]

Why?

I was voting for the player you replaced.

This is atrocious logic. You were voting a lurker, Jamiet posted more then half the other players.

I never said I was voting for Mike for lurking.

[EspressoPatronum]

My reads and thoughts so far:

Town (most to least)
BB - posts bleed town (claimed - apparently provable)
Fox - inquisitive, making good points. proactive.
bozo - I don't see sucm!bozo digging in his heels on the mass claim
Vecna - (claimed - provable)

Townlean
Jamiet - entrance seemed town to me.

Null (no order)
bosox - I liked his wall post.
rdrivera - I like the way he plays. Waiting on an excuse to put him in my town pile.
xorxes - his town gameplay in m1007 was night and day to his maf gameplay in m46. We'll know by D3.
Hosuke - (claimed?)
Vapor - I naturally gravitated to townreading Vapor in m1007 and am finding myself doing that here. I think I like his posting style, so I want to wait a bit to make sure my read on him is legit and not biased by his posting.
Flash - ?
Moscow (policy option)
Percy Williams - he's posted a fair bit, but nothing has stood out to me.

Scumlean
foodcoats - somebody raised a good point about foodcoats appearing active without adding substance. Good observation.
Chaqa - I recall disagreeing with a lot of what he's saying. Will have to go back to check this later.
Dargo - #560 is hedgy and he comes down on bozo for holding the massclaim belief. He also called out Percy for being hedgy in the first few pages of the game.

Scum (least to most)
damo - forced reasoning onto the EMC wagon.
Worcej - Nothing specific. Maybe I just don't like his post style.
emc - reactions to his wagon have been sus. Also a good policy option.

[bozotheclown]

The player he replaced never posted or even showed up, no?

Correct.

Okay, so you're voting for the replacement of a guy who never posted or even showed up, and you're continuing to vote for him without explicating any rationale for doing so even though the replacement player is active.

Interesting strategy.

Jamie remains in my lynch pool, not because he is inactive, but because of what he has posted.

[bo_sox48]

if mike gets subbed we get Jamie or ND?

##VOTE Mike213

[bo_sox48]

Can we talk about what your Mike vote was about if it had nothing to do with him having not posted or shown up?

[bo_sox48]

Honestly I don't care as much about the Jamie vote now as I do the Mike vote.
