TL Mafia LXIII: Time to Die - Page 172

thrawn - BLAZINGHAND MUH NIGG WHAT'S UP

first things first... you town?

BH - I am an assassin and am intentionally playing as scummy as possible without getting lynched. The other assassin will be the one who never suspects me as scum.

BH - I am the tracker. That is a legitimate crumb. I am hoping not to get role blocked tonight. Got any ideas who I should target?

thrawn - @3 what? why would you tell me this?

thrawn - oh nvm just now started reading op. i've never experienced assassins before

the way it looks to me is that it's not necessarily anti town? or what?

thrawn - eh this is fucking weird lol... no clue how to process what your motivations should be

thrawn - OK two questions

1 why would you claim assassin to me

2 why are you intentionally acting scummy/trolly? isn't that sure to bring suspicion on you? why wouldn't you be trying to play townie?

thrawn - wtf bh are you scum?

if you're truly assassin I don't really know if I care about this qt any more, but what if i'm the assassin? why would you just claim it immediately like that? i'm having trouble wrapping my head around what should be your "assassin point of view" or whatever

BH - OK in a hypothetical world where I am the assassin there's no way you're also the assassin, since assassins can't mason, right?

So imagine I'm the assassin-- someone has masoned me. He's either town thrawn, looking for clues, or scum thrawn, trying to figure out if I should be NKed. If he's scum thrawn I want him to know I'm the assassin. This way he aims his shots elsewhere and makes it more likely that my DT check for the other assassin goes off properly. If he's town thrawn I won't be able to keep up the illusion of being the tracker in a 1-on-1 convo, so I will claim assassin to him and strike a bargain with him: I'll actually read and help him refine reads and give my honest opinion if he doesn't try to lynch me tomorrow.

The other alternative is that I'm really the tracker, and am worried thrawn might be scum, so I soft-claim assassin in an attempt not to be shot.

There's really no reason I wouldn't claim assassin, honestly.

BH - Let me put it this way, thrawn. Whether I am telling the truth or lying, let me know two people you want analyzed and I will analyze them with the full force of the best analysis I'm capable of. If you have cases or reads your want opinions on, I'll be glad to help you out. Let me know what you need and I'll do it.

thrawn - ight now i'm looking at panda grack and austin. if you only want two i'd say go for grack and austin

panda and grack are the scum reads I picked up while I was skimming the game right after it started. you can see what i think about austin in the thread. I don't remember what it was I was thinking about panda, and i'm probably most hesitant about that read because what he's posted since i've joined has all seemed pretty carefree. grack i remember being useless and going on about electing kush, and there were some things VE pointed out (like how it's odd what he chooses to be serious about) that i agreed with

lol at some point i will actually need to read pages 1-election page

BH - I'll take a look.

BH - sorry for the delay, had some IRL issues last night. looking now ;_;

BH - yeah grack probably scum. he's a slippery one though, I doubt we'll be able to pull off a lynch on him today unless people are pretty smart. got any track ideas?

thrawn - if i were tracker I might rng it between grack/austin. i still haven't read anything beyond what i mentioned earlier and all my other reads are town reads

who do you think I should mason next cycle? what do you think about super, I was thinking about either picking him (if he is town I would really like to be able to trust and work with him) or one of the people that haven't really jumped into discussion

and I take it that you disagree about austin and panda since you didn't mention them? btw I don't know what you meant when you said grack would be hard to lynch... i'm probably gonna put a placeholder vote down on him while i finish catching up

thrawn - oh what do you think about koshi? I tried to incite some kind of emotional response from him but what I got was pretty underwhelming. he's so much more reserved than he was in WCII. In wc2 I basically knew he was town right from the start and that feeling never went away, i'm not getting that here

BH - gonna check Austin. I think grack is slam dunk don't need a track on him.

sorry didnt actually have time to dive Austin.

koshi shows his colors over time

ss is fine but also consider Also yamato. his anger might be fake; a qt will show.

BH - OK sent in a track on Austin. I'll be back hopefully before flips.

thrawn - lol yeah yamato sounds interesting

if he immediately starts insulting me he's probably town

BH - basically yes.

thrawn - are you really tracker?

and wtf you claimed that to the thread back in D1? WHHY?

tbh i don't think i believe either the assassin or tracker claims... meh

BH - remember that a scum yam will seem to have a different mood than what hr has in thread

BH - honestly I didn't have much time day 1 since I'm starting at a new job on Monday. I figured claiming would buy me the time to price myself.I would never admit this to the thread tho lol. had to do a lot of phone post and read so far. I think I should be able to catch enough scum going forward to prove myself town.

really though be careful with yam. town yam will see scummy for his anger. scum yam will seem townie for his reasonableness. don't let him mess with your head.

BH - my panda read is based on his tunnel of me actually being an attempt by scum to opt out of the thread. if I die tonight see what his next target is. if he is involves i n the thread be is town.if he finds another way to opt out, push him. grack first tho imo
