Why the fuck isn't every mafia player in this game when there will be pictures like the above throughout?

Rayn was like Fuck yeah I am town. And then peace out. That is like the Anti-rayn. Perhaps it is the end of days. Perhaps Rayn is scum. Perhaps he is just busy. Find out next time in: 'Nothing much is happening Mafia'

@vivax so to you the first person to call someone else scum off something is typically more mafia sided so what do you think of rayn? now that we know coag's flip do you think that speaks more positively or negatively of rayn?

Mafia always got crazy much shit to do. Way more shit then town.

Fact.

Crap. Gotta love getting pulled away while writing up a case and then never delivering. Posting what I had, tacking on crappy conclusion, then catching up.


Step 1: Original posts on DP + Show Spoiler +
First bit is trolly. The last couple posts are either intending to draw a reaction from DP, start the game rolling, all that good jazz (townie), or are bad reasons to call someone mafia.

Asstons of people push RNG lynch and never do it. People talk policy and never do it. People say LAL and never do it. People call for policy lynches or not policy lynches of specific players all the time and never do either. Nobody, nobody is mafia for the specific reason that they think hydras are good as town and bad as scum but then votes to lynch them, in opposition to what is basically a one-liner in another game with a stupid policy comment.

So either he's trying to draw reactions or he's got really questionable logic.

Step 2: Flare pushes forward + Show Spoiler +
Flare still has DP mafia, and makes a good point about overdefensiveness after being called out. If he was fishing for reactions/trying to get game rolling, he hit something and ran with it. Keep that in mind.

However, the hopeless bit here is poop soup. In response to hopeless not jumping to vote DP and noting that Flare bussed a teammates in Cultured, Flare argues that hopeless is also mafia because, essentially, if Flare was town he's had good reads in the past and therefore must be right on DP, and if Flare is scum then he's got to be bussing DP. Either way, DP is scum, and so Hopeless should be agreeing with Flare, or at least voting DP - it's a good read or a bus.

The poop soupy part is that this statement is based on that idea that bussing one guy in one game = always bus never not bus. I have never seen anyone do that. Seriously look at this. Flare calls hopeless mafia based on reasoning that says "you said I bussed a guy one time, therefore you should be thinking I always and only bus teammates, and so my target has to be scum."

Again, either Flare is doubling down and really trying to draw out reactions from more people now or he's got really really really really really questionable logic.

Step 3: Followup

I'm not, ya big dingus. I asked Flare for his current thoughts about DP because, again, I don't know what Flare's agenda is early. That's why I wanted a current read. I expect either:

(1) I was fishing for a reaction. I got a scummy one. Therefore, DP is scum. He's done some stuff since, but I don't care, original reasons stand. (See this post, which is why I marked it - + Show Spoiler +

(2) I thought he was scummy at the start, then he's done x and y, so now I've altered my read a little bit. Shows Flare thinking about the thread, actually updating his read with whatever DP does, generally trying to figure out someone's alignment without knowing it.

(3) Tunnel city without going back and discussing fishing/whatever.



Think of Flare's suspicion of DP as a building that Flare is constructing. Flare built one good story of the building up high, noting that DP never followed up the hopeless questions.

But the bottom of the building was constructed poorly, it doesn't bear the weight of the top. His initial DP suspicion is for a strange policy/hydra reason that I don't think has anything to do with alignments. He added a suspicion of hopeless based off the idea that hopeless should be thinking that Flare busses everyone always. He built his early game out of bad suspicions.

When Flare returned to thread with nothing but more reasons why DP is mafia and only mafia, it showed me that he was just piling on and on, building off this very early suspicion that shouldn't have been legitimate. The fact that I think the bit about DP never following on hopeless questions is immaterial to a read on Flare. Whether Flare is town or mafia, he needs to be finding things that DP has done that are scummy to push his read. It's not like mafia Flare would only be presenting crappy reasons, he has to find something decent to push.

Y U no give reasoning on Giggle being mafia Vivax?

vivax

when i'm asking hopeless questions and he suddenly decides he must leave right then, there is nothing else I can do except wait for him to come back. it's not "losing interest" like you're suggesting. he came back while I was away from the thread, i read the thread which included some people interrogating him, and I decided he was town based off those interactions

I don't think there's anyone else that I'd feel confident as labeling a "top" town read. I think both dp and hf are town but I can't get over this nagging doubt that one of them is full of crap.

Also why is everyone and their grandmother calling thrawn mafia?
Unless both of me and DarthPunk are mafia it's almost guaranteed the thrawn "wagon" is mafia influenced. So thrawn, me and DarthPunk know the truth which is out there. thrawn is town.

Koshi gets town for being the first on that "shut up about rayn and coag" train. Trying to get other reads going.


Thrawn comes in with the vote on coag and doesnt say anything else but one little post which I believe coag pointed out which moved him from scummy to more fence.


Coag vs Rayn the fight of the century: I think Rayn looks more town for bitching out and afk voting seems like a poor mafia play. Coag tried to defend himself really early super hard but seemed town the further it got into the day he actually stopped tunneling but his initial reaction just read scummy to me.


Palmer I'm null on what he said he kinda ducked out of the whole early game thing and didnt add enough for me to gain alignment from.


I liked Holyflare's case on DP it at least seemed like he took the time to read between the lines a bit. DP seems to discredit this as being a shit read but if it was shitty I'm buying the shit at least for now so sign me up!!!

Yeah I don't have a real read on VE. I said that in the post it was a bullshit read cause I don't have any scum. ITs a ping. VE is why I'm even in this game. I wanted to see him in the game doing things cause he is the one who wanted me to play its not like I voted for him. Cool your jets DP I'm town.

What questions did I miss? I'm assuming its the one about my thoughts on GT/Hopeless and why they weren't in my original reads.

At the time I didn't read GT cause he was in that limbo of "content to come brb" so I was waiting on that. The Hopeless information had a lot to do with other games and meta like the 'scooby doo' game. I don't know what that is and am far too lazy to read another game on a day 1 early read so I abstained from it.

That was at the time. More on this subject to come.

My read on VE has changed since he talked I like him as town he seemed objective on me and I think brought up a good case on GT. To explain again for rayn cause he is reading way more town through the re-read than yesterday, I wanted to hear him talk cause i have reads on him from other types of mafia and if I read him I can base my reads around that getting the alignment of one can give me more and thats how I play mafia.

@DP Suffice it to say I was reading HF town because he wasnt talking about Rayn Coag in the first 3 hours that is also why I have a town read on Koshi (early town read) That was basically all I was saying I phrased it poorly so I understand your confusion.

Coag vs Rayn the fight of the century: I think Rayn looks more town for bitching out and afk voting seems like a poor mafia play. Coag tried to defend himself really early super hard but seemed town the further it got into the day he actually stopped tunneling but his initial reaction just read scummy to me.

are you talking about hopeless jumping on giggles? i don't remember what you are talking about

" ie sheeping a guy on another guy whose posts you didn't read previously despite having declared an interest into doing so."

are you talking about hopeless sheeping VE's reason to lynch giggle?

No vivax, that doesn't strike me as something outside the realm of all possible town play.
