MAFIA 48 -The Gladiator- GAME THREAD [HIDDEN]

@ItsHosuke

You have scumread Temasek and yuuki.

Who do you town read?

[damo666]

When is EOD?

[Jamiet99uk]

Also, @Ike:

In the game start thread, I openly encouraged you to join the game. I know this was not long after Brainbomb dropped out, but just to make myself clear, I wasn't specifically asking you to fill in for Brainbomb. There's no need to shitpost and throw your vote around quite as much as you are doing. One game without a Brainbomb is quite relaxing, we don't need you taking over his duties.

I'll quiet down then, but in return you gotta start looking at everyone, deal?

I'm still currently looking at you, and I purport that you look rather suspicious.

[DemonRHK]

When is EOD?

Just under 3 hours

Not quite sure how that's possible, but Ight

You missed it, we lynched Chaqa, he was the Mafia Judge.

Read my ISO of you, then, and respond to anything in it that you think is not accurate. I'd like you to do that.

I get a bad vibe from Nephthys and TrPrado. I'll post my full reads before EOD.

[TrPrado]

I CLEARLY can't drink the OMGUS in front of me

[worcej]

Yeah but if your team wins, you get glory, girls, and a $50 gift certificate valid for spending at Toys 'R' Us, Radio Shack, BlockBuster Video or Waldenbooks.

I'll take the Toys 'R' Us one, that shit is coming back and I have a baby almost done in the oven. Do you have any idea how expensive Barbie Dolls are?!

You’re pregnant?

No, wife is 33.5 weeks into baking our first kid. My life is about to go TU.

[RagingIke297]

Let's talk about RAGING IKE - he wanted me to talk about him, so I'm going to talk about him. I've done an ISO and here's what I've observed:

RagingIke is the most prolific poster in the entire game, if we're going by post count rather than quality - because a great deal of his posting has been garbage.

20 of his posts are about his Role PM and whether or not he has read it. Twenty fucking posts! What a way to fill the thread with irrelevant noise.

On page 5 he hops his vote around the newbies to apparently pressure them, then moves to Chaqa.

Also on page 5 he openly asks me what my role is. That seems quite scummy given my P2 post about claiming, as if he's trying to goad me into actually doing it.

On page 8 he thinks that Xorxes' claim is a lie, but he only makes this comment in response to me questioning why nobody has noticed the claim. He clogs the rest of that page up cock-sparring with TrPrado to see who can type the most periods. Unappealing.

Page 15 he votes Rdrivera for about two minutes, for no declared reason, and then moves to Percy, which he does explain, as yet another pressure vote.

Page 16 he reacts with dismay to Carambola's LG claim, which is strangely at odds with his reaction to Xorxes making a claim on page 8.

Page 17 declares "I'm driving the lynch today!" (note that as it stands, he is failing to do that).

Page 22 he takes a break from talking about reading his own role PM to ask the GM about Percy's role PM. Annoying.

Page 25 calls Xorxes a "crap wagon" and encourages movement.

Page 34: "I want to rally a wagon" - talking again about how desperate he is to lead a wagon.


SUMMARY

Ike is being very annoying so far in this game.

He prattles endlessly about whether he has or has not read his role PM.
He flops his vote around all over the place (seriously he's changed his vote 10 times, more than any other player so far). Many of these votes are unexplained, such as his two-minute Rdrivera vote.
He claims to be really keen to drive the lynch, but votes without conviction and isn't making any strong arguments for his vote targets, so that sounds totally insincere.
He also appears keen to take pressure and attention away from Xorxes and the one time he did really try to "drive" the lynch voting, it was directly aimed at taking votes off Xorxes. If Xorxes flips scum later, take a look at this.

My gut reaction is that Ike is the noisy scum running interference for his team mates. Ike is a clever guy and as town I think he'd be trying a lot harder. All he's doing is making a whole lot of noise.

Lets talk about me for a second, yeah. Most of my posts have been garbage, yes, I've had a couple that I'm proud of like trying to make sure we consolidate as much as possible at the end of the day. I did say that I was going to try a new meta and I don't know about any of you guys but I'm having fun.

Page 5, yes I'm trying unsuccessfully to get you to tell me your scum so i can be a hero

Page 8, I still don't beleive the Xorxes thing, like I said if I'm Proximo then I basically consider myself mafia because of how often they win, can't do that if you out yourself

Page 15, I voted rdr because I didn't like a reads list he put out, he said 2 people were doing weird things and one was all over the place, those are observations not reads

Page 16, Carambolas claim is probably true, unlike Xorxes

All the rest, yes again I was going to break meta and lead a lynch, i don't think I've ever really driven a wagon, espcially this early in the game and I'm trying to see if i can do it, obviously I'm not very good.

Better?

Not very much better, no. You haven't made cases on your targets, you haven't seriously campaigned for a particular wagon, you've flipflopped your vote around all over the place, often without explanation. How are you actually trying to lead the lynch, beyond saying "I'm trying to lead the lynch"?

You say that's what you're been doing, but I see no evidence of you actually trying.

If I watch a dog howling at the moon I don't conclude "oh look, that dog is attempting to travel into space".

[Nephthys]

Master Ceaser, you're back! How can I serve you?

This obsequiousness is beginning to seem scummy. Why not make useful posts?

I'm sorry. I'm back from analyzing

##Vote ItsHosuke

Despite him being my RL friend, we need to do what has to be done. Most of his posts are pokes at me rather than trying to help town solve the game and frankly, it's getting annoying. Demon and worcej are definitely onto somehing here

Pretty sure you've thrown more barbs at him that he has at you...

I honestly don't know what it takes to lead a lynch, it seems like we get down to 2 or 3 people and then EOD happens and those that weren't on the main wagons get to decide. I was kinda just hoping if I said it enough people would beleive it. I don't like Vaporwave and I don't like Foodcoats, but the cases I could build on them or anyone aren't strong enough to justify a lynch in my opinion. Guess that's why I don't drive wagons and I'm just a follower

[Nephthys]

It occurs to me that Vapor would be very dangerous as Mafia, because he can rely on the "village idiot" defence.

Can we take a step back towards wholesomeness? I'e enjoyed the last few games being (moderately) pleasant

[Nephthys]

SCENE: Inside a church, decorated for a wedding. A bride and groom stand at the altar with the priest. Many guests are in attendance, the men in their finest suits, the women in formal dresses or smart trouser-suits. Yukki sits in the back row wearing a neon shell-suit and chewing bubble-gum noisily.

PRIEST: "Before I complete the ceremony, if anyone present knows of any reason why this happy couple should not be joined in holy matrimony, let him speak now or forever hold his peace!"

YUKKI: "Hey, hey! I got something to say!"

The assembled crowd gasped and turned to look at the scruffy youth, wondering what accusation or revelation regarding the bride, or perhaps the groom, he was about to blurt out.

YUKKI: "I just want to let you all know that I'm here at the wedding ceremony. I hope everyone's having a nice time. Gee, I sure do like the flavour of raspberry bubblegum."

PRIEST: "Is that all? We might have assumed you were going to declare some reason why this happy couple should not be joined in holy matrimony...?"

YUKKI: "What? Why on earth would you think that? Just a coincidence, man!"

Please stop these, you're making me miss brain and his mafia chat insights </3
