M62: PEOPLE'S DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF REVOLUTIONARY MAFIA GAME THREAD!

[ghug]

Then who do you scumread?

Like you I can't tell scum from shitposter yet so I don't have much to say on that front. My initial town reads are bunny, durga, and ND. Their posts seem to at least be advancing the conversation in a productive fashion.

Do you like eating spicy food, by any chance? Lol, pick the aggressive players, surprising taste for someone new :D (NAI, but usually people newer townread the more calm personalities)

Durga and Bunny haven't been especially aggressive this game. Especially compared to like me or worcej.

[ND]

I know reading is hard in a reading game. I mean, if you don't like to read why play this game and ruin it for other people. Jesus Christ.

[ghug]

I'm literally dumbfounded anyone could town read someone who doesn't actually contribute or read the game. It is only NAI with Drugna because she never reads the game start post or actually interacts with anyone in the game. She just votes for people she personally, out of game reasons, doesn't like. If this was a mature and frankly intelligent community we would automatically vote people like that out of the game because they produce nothing of intellectual value to the conversation.

I'm sorry for the broader commentary about the community at large, but seriously that statement bothered me and I had to elaborate on my thought process about it because that newb just posted a smiley face above in my query to him.

ND playing like Jamie is town-indicative.

[ND]

Jamie is a nutcase. Don't compare me to him.

[ghug]

While I agree with what is being said I have a few concerns
1. This is exquisitely crafted, laid out and hyperlinked
2. The points made are general

To expand on (2), his points don't say how or why or even things to focus on. Its verbose and waffle

Balki carefully thinking through his posts isn't alignment indicative.

It could be when they offer nothing

Sure, but I think being annoyed at the level of garbage here is something I would do if I weren't busy being the garbage, so I don't agree that it offers nothing.

[e.m.c^42]

I will come in defense of Nephs and say that it certainly is very easy to skim direct ISO and forget to check alignment if forgotten. Can't say I particularly liked your entrance, since there's certainly more than enough friendly faces for you to banter with lmao.

But hm. Don't know you well enough.

Neph does not need your defense. I haven’t accused him of anything.

What don’t you like about my entrance? You think Town!Balki is more likely to joke around for a bit? Talk about why you think this has anything to say about alignments.

Tbh, I had something else typed out but then realised 1) I really haven't played with you, and 2) Don't have the time to learn you back reading old games lol.

But naturally it swings both ways - it was choice of, are you player who is more likely to banter and buddy, or player who is more likely to come in an establish serious tone (because former is harder to do for some, while non-emotive logic posts are easy as any alignment.)

Was leaning towards second on gut, but corrected and deleted lmao

[ND]

I'm out. i've wasted enough brain cells already tonight with you morose simpletons.

[ghug]

Jamie is a nutcase. Don't compare me to him.

Don't be a nutcase and maybe I'll consider it.

Jamie showed a desire to change last game, which is more than I've seen from you.

[President Eden]

ATTENTION MORTALS.

I recognize Mafia is a heated game, doubly so when you're playing with a familiar group with idiosyncracies that rub you the wrong way. Accordingly, I'm trying not to be overbearing about policing tone or rhetoric.

That said, we have new players in the game, and this thread is not hidden. We're aiming for "fun" heated, not "toxic" heated. Please try to tone the attacks and language down a notch. This isn't targeted at any one player as there are several people who fit the bill.

THANK YOU FOR KEEPING WEBDIP MAFIA GREAT!

Can we actually just hide it? I'm not going to be able to not swear.

Look, personally I hate being in a position where I have to agree with this werido.

I'm glad I held off on replying until you did, for this exact reason

I'll talk to darg about it and follow up tomorrow.

More tonal than content. You guys are more, yes, but it's in a softer approach.

How many of these words do you know the meanings of?

Are you calling me soft?

[celaph]

Can you please expand on these initial town reads? I don’t really understand why you have noticed those three specifically? How are they advancing the conversation? What do you see them doing that seems more likely to be a sincere scum hunt than a pretend one?

Sure.
Bunny made an effort early to incorporate us newer players in a non-antagonistic fashion. Asked aaro about his approach to the game to learn more about a player he didn't know. Shared a nice tracker bot that I had never heard of before.

No single message sticks out to me from Durga. Looking back at chat history lines like "Fuck I actually hate this. You're both dumb please move on." and "Flum has done something to compare him to anyone yet? What has he done?" seem to indicate a desire to push through a mess for actual info.

ND strikes me as a particularly antagonistic town. Someone who ultimately wants the truth though goes about it in a way that I find particularly poor. At least so far I don't feel that his tendency to be caustic to use emc's term comes from being scum.

;)

Well, I certainly won't mind you being harder for me.

[e.m.c^42]

But that asides, it is like this analogy:

Toasted marshmallow, slightly flaming and burnt on outside but edible and sweet after biting into it, compared to flaming marshmallow that you bite into and find bitterly crunchy. Who is who is clear enough to not need listing names.

[e.m.c^42]

Actually, that is shit analogy that makes not much sense lol

Reasonable.

[e.m.c^42]

They cuss more and are less jocular about it in framing, therefore giving off a "less soft" demeanour.

[e.m.c^42]

Wonder where damo and rdr are at. They don't have holiday.

##CALLGM can I +1 posts?
