I think that last quote in particular makes the strongest case.

marv, do you think Prom + austin makes sense? Or is toad still the other?

austin, do you think think Prom + marv is the best pair, under that assumption that Prom flips mafia 100% of the time?

I'd prefer if you read a full filter read of the other player with the thought that "Prom is no doubt mafia" before replying.

Kita you should have saved that for the resolution period.


I'd rather spend the extra time looking if a Prom pair makes sense. It's pretty likely that Prom was in the top two lynch list to begin with, so it's not like I'm introducing a new mafia suspect and opening myself up to a night kill. If you had to pair someone with Prom, where are you at? I suppose I'd understand if you wanted to wait to answer so mafia doesn't pick people off based on their response, but if you get shot based on your answer, I'll have more time so I'm not entirely concerned.

These 6PM deadlines are killing me because I hardly have any time to spend on the game while at work. I've put together thoughts on marv, however they only cover the first cycle. The case isn't very polished so if you agree with it, run with it. Otherwise, discuss why it is wrong. I'd be sad to get killed off and then have it ignored. Even if Foolishness and myself are suspicious of marv, don't ignore austin. Don't let austin's activity fool you. His mafia games have thick filters loaded with content. Take a look if he knows too much about the alignment of unflipped players and consider if his preference to lynch Prom today is a calculated move in an attempt to win in the endgame. Ideally, I'll still be alive and be able to check myself and evaluate the validity of the marv case.

Kinda curious that Fool has 4 ppl as likely mafia (Prome, holy, me, sand) but...willing to test him on sand for now.

##Vote: sandroba


I'll start off looking at marv's initial vote on sandroba. Does it sound like marv is really pushing hard to convince the threat that sandroba is the best lynch here? Instead, he argues that the vote is to test Foolishness, but I think it's pretty clear that this point that Prom is Fool's preferred lynch. Is it possible that he is trying to throw dirt on a town Foolishness for not switching over to a player that will eventually flip mafia? He argues that the sandroba lynch isn't going anywhere when he unvotes, but is there even any push here? Compare this to a town marv, where he is willing to call out specific individuals on why they are not voting with him. Earlier in the thread, marv mentions how town isn't going to ignore him when is vote is on Foolishness. Then why does he appear fine to have town ignore him when his vote is on sandroba?

So Fool and sand are both on Prome

i don't like that lynch very much.

There's two very smelly people on the Prome wagon and sandroba aint flying because mysteriously he's not a good lynch to fool
##unvote
##vote: Foolishness


Note how marv doesn't show a willingness to lynch Foolishness because he has a strong mafia read on him. He is voting to lynch Foolishness because he doesn't like the people that are on the Prom wagon. This is a really round-about way to justify a vote. The only issue that marv finds concerning with his play is his statement regarding sandroba. He attacks Fool for defending sandroba, a player whose alignment is unknown.

On January 25 2014 00:54 marvellosity wrote:
Why is everyone finding Fool scummy just as I'm finding him townie? It's like suddenly people are hyper aware of what he did on Day 1 now even though that was sometime ago, and no-one cares so much about anything since.


However, something strange happens when sandroba flips. marv drops the case against the player he wanted to lynch up to 10 minutes before the flip. If marv thinks Foolishness is mafia for defending a player of an unknown alignment, why is he suddenly feeling better about Foolishness defending a player of mafia alignment? Wouldn't this strengthen his original case? He mentioned that the vote analysis changed his mind, but you can throw together one of those as mafia in a heartbeat.

Furthermore, I sense little worry about the consequences of flipping a town Foolishness from marv.

Foolishness is a liar and quite possibly mafia but that will have to wait.


Take a look at how marv approaches the suspicious play of Foolishness and Ver in Personality Mafia 2 on day one. He is willing to take the wait and see approach knowing that Foolishness has the ability to bust the game open once there is enough to work with. I also brought up the comparison to the champions game, where he urged to thread to be patient with Foolishness as he is a "notoriously slow starter".

In this game, however, he immediately pushes him for content and is willing to flip foolishness off a single point, rather than a compelling case.

I want to discuss how marv handles Prom on day one, as he is the main alternative to the lynch.

In the part of Prome's filter where he attacked Fool and then voted kita which didn't make very much sense to me given he was apparently suspicious of Fool earlier, but now he's back voting Fool which makes more sense. Kinda confusing actually


On January 23 2014 07:56 marvellosity wrote:
right now i like a not-prome lynch


Earlier in the cycle, he had Prom in his top three and Foolishness was not. I asked marv twice to read my case against Prom on day one. He acknowledges that there are good points to my case, confirms that he displays some questionable play, and then concludes that he does not want a Prom lynch, without a clear explanation.

Here is how the lynch stands when the flip is starting to take place.

Foolishness (5): VisceraEyes, WaveofShadow, Promethelax, marvellosity, Hapahauli
Promethelax (3): Foolishness, Kitaman27, Sandroba
Sandroba (2): gonzaw, austin

marv has a choice here: stay firm on Foolishness and take a risk that a swing happens, leaving him out to dry or swap to sandroba. If he switches to sandroba, Hapa AND prom would need to join him for sandroba to flip. If sandroba flips, then VE, Wave, Foolishness, and myself all look bad, while he can ride the town cred up until this point. If Foolishness flips, then whoever remained on the town player would look terrible and he could say that he tried to flip to sandroba. It seems like a easy choice at this point.

Something that I happened to pick up on when reading through his filter was how extremely non-committal his views are of myself. Here are a group of posts that I picked out:

Count how many times marv calls me "odd" or "strange" without actually comitting to calling me mafia. Also, count how many times marv states that he is going to "look into kita" and then returns with an actual read. Yet, even in all this "confusion" I'm still appearing in most of his lynch lists even though he has never came to a mafia conclusion. Is my play such an enigma that he is incapable of presenting a single solid read? If everyone else seems to think it's pretty clear that I'm town, why is marv the last one to pick up on it?

WHY DO PEOPLE ALWAYS CALL ME GUN-SAW

ITS WEIRD AS FUCK


I found it kinda funny that when Foolishness said Kita (rhymes with Cheetah), he got it right, but whenever he refereed to me as kitaman, the pronunciation randomly changed.

Also, let it be known that one line posts mean I'm confirmed town. Foolishness has spoken.

The blatant anti-mafia database propaganda was concerning, but I'm willing to forgive him for his ignorance.

Overall, I thought the analysis was pretty spot on. I can think of certain games that could have led him to the exact opposite conclusion if he happened to read those filters, so I think the most important thing with a meta read is that you base it off a reliable sample, rather than draw conclusions based off a 1 game comparison.

It's too bad day three turned out to be Foolishness vs Prom, rather than Foolishness vs marv.

Heh you're the third person to say that recently. It's funny to see people that have been around for years and then realize that you haven't really actually played with them. I think it was iamp that brought up the fact that over my 40 games and his 20 games, we had overlapped liked twice. Apparently I only join the oddball games XD
