MAFIA LVIII (58) - WITCHFINDER GENERAL - GAME THREAD

[Vecna]

I am fine to continue voting for Durga. I think too-cool-for-school Durga (e.g., not reading the setup, not reading the thread, etc) is somewhat scum indicative.

We should not be policy killing SarahK at this point. Day 1 is too important for that, we need a referendum on an actual player who might be scum.

I would potentially vote for Worcej or Ghug over Durga at this point, though. I think Worcej is playing too nicely. Bozo is obviously town to me—he's focusing way too much on small inconsistencies, so he will probably end up tunneling on a townie.

Sort of surprised by this read as well. Did you play with Durga in the more recent games? It seemed a lot more active and involved in this game so far actually. The too cool for school isnt really AI, but theres a lot more buddying going on and she feels more committed so far.

I did not play in the most recent game with her, no. I think it's been a good while since she's played before that?

Durga is also looking townier to me as things go on. I would still vote for her over more null reads, but I don't think I'd push her wagon at this point.

When you say a lot more buddying going on, do you mean her buddying or do you mean others trying to buddy her? (I've seen her push back against the latter, but one thing I do remember from prior games is that she's always worried about being buddied.)

Her buddying

lol ##VOTE damo

This I like though. A little bit. Its also a bit gotcha-y. Do I actually like it?

gotcha for what?

Gotcha because "oh look, this guy doesnt dare to vote for his actual scumreads but is hiding behind his mechanic-demands-gimmick".

It could cut both ways. The two of you have these weird little connections & interactions going on that feel very much on the edge of natural/forced.

[ghug]

I don’t. But I don’t know what he’s thinking. Why not place his vote and leave?

Because I'm not leaving, I'm reading.

Even after all this time, in my mind, Bo, Chaqa and Ghug are all the same player.

What the fuck Vecna

[Vecna]

Still waiting on Vecna to reflect on the Durga quote I brought forward.

I hope that post isn't lost in the waters.

I mean, just because she's aware of her scum-meta doesnt mean she wouldnt just become more active as town if more time is presented, right?

If A leads to B it does not mean that we can automatically conclude A if B is observed.

(yes, this is my convoluted way of saying im unsure, but dont really wanna push there)

[Vecna]

Vecna suddenly oozing town

Also, you always do this as scum. You always end up scumreading me if im having a slightly sub-par day1 and then instantly back-off hard if I have as much as a critical post on your slot.

[Vecna]

Damo was just as mech-focused as this last game, so I see no reason whatsoever to scumread him for it

Its not like he doesnt do that as scum

I didn't say I townread him for it. I said I dislike that people are scumreading him for doing something he does every game.

Which is a fair point, I guess.

Youre just going to have to excuse my ankle-biting. Youre firmly in the scum-untill-proven-otherwise category for me.

What the fuck Vecna

Sorry man. My brain has the same thing with Foxcastle/TrPrado/Darg/Ezio

[Durga]

My effort thing means I make effort to understand the game as scum, obviously here I'm making more of an effort to actually find scum, but don't talk to me about mechanics right now

[Durga]

How did yoyo literally do nothing but shade me d1 and then just disappear. I hate it.

[Vecna]

cool, everyone can townread me now so I can get nk'd

[ghug]

Even after all this time, in my mind, Bo, Chaqa and Ghug are all the same player.

What the fuck Vecna

You're dead to me

[Vecna]

See, thats such a thing that bo or chaqa would say as well

Just went back and saw bunny was the first to vote Bismarck on page 2.. not sure how I feel about that.. ##Unvote

This is quite the peculiar reason to unvote someone at a crucial moment. If Bismarck slot does end up flipping red at some point, this is a thing to remember.

Yes I realize now that my decision didn’t probably make sense at all. I just want to say again that I was getting overwhelmed and feeling the pressure at the end of the phase and was trying to read at the start of the thread and thought I had some sort of great find when I saw bunny had voted Bismarck without listing much reason on page 3. To me that looked suspicious and I thought bunny was still on the Bismarck wagon (I don’t think he even was) and was just to trying to save himself so I didn’t know what to do. I was hoping there would be more activity at the end of the phase that would help me decide what to do and then I just went with my gut and voted bunny which obviously was stupid.

Who here thinks Seth looks scummy?

[worcej]

Who here thinks Seth looks scummy?

I am on that side of the fence. I don’t like his D1 voting.

[Chaqa]

I don’t. But I don’t know what he’s thinking. Why not place his vote and leave?

I resent this. I'm clearly different from then in my obsession with Chipotle.

[seth24c]

I definitely agree that there were scum on the bunny wagon but I know it wasn’t me. I think we need to go back through and see who was pushing his wagon and also who was pushing against the bismarck wagon.

What don't you like about his voting?
