I actually considered most of my posts and reads many times before posting them. While not being wordy i didn't end up being Glowingbear (no offence).


None taken, I've already admitted I put every kind of thought in the thread, even when I always recommend coachees to take a step back before posting it's just that I have more fun this way

You probably shouldn't.

There is a chance you distract people from solving the game, or the lesser bad outcome is you just get ignored for the rest of the game (which at least i kinda started doing at some point). While yes, in this game it made you obvious town that's not really the most effective way of playing mafia as if everyone played that way the thread would be a total chaos. Also you are not really helping when you don't think things through.

Like look at Damdred's read on you. He ignored your (obivous) town tells because the pretty much all the other stuff you posted he considered nonsense.


I get it. I understand the problems of doing what I do. It's just I have too much fun doing this shit

My ability to read haven't developed enough. I can read townies with more accuracy but not Mafia. Although if I call a townie Mafia, it means my ability to read townies isn't that accurate.

In the other hand, I won't be playing again anytime soon. I'll use that time to reevaluate what I'm doing wrong and I'll be around discussing things, hosting themed games, but certainly, CERTAINLY not playing.

As marv said and also as I said before, very impressive play Rayn. I think you deserve to be nominated

Although I still don't understand entirely how you found out Kelsier is Mafia.

It looked just semantics to me.

As in Damdred's thing. I was willing to give him leeway because it felt like his slip were only semantics

Hm.

Don't you think his read on Kelsier was superb, and that his insta town reads were too accurate?

Like i could get what he said from towbn perspective in case he is considering possibilities. But one of his reasons was "VE is trying to pocket rayn - that's why VE is mafia". That's what he said in his case.

He can't possibly think VE is mafia for pocketing me if he does not think i am town, because then there is no pocketing.


The problem is: what if he simply thought you were actually town?

Anyway, the problem I had here is that he defended me and went against VE, strong and vocal player. Sounded like too suicidal to be Mafia.

On the other hand, filters like tormented, mm1 and a little of Soren sounded more plausible

It is not the problem because i asked him if he has a town read on me and the answer was "no".
Then i voted for him.


Oh!!!

Got it.

Why? I love VE dearly but he's not known for relentlessly getting his targets lynched.


I've seen VE locking on targets before. I believe he was very vocal on... Avogadro's Mafia?

Anyway, it sounded more plausible to me that scum Kelsier would come to the thread and try to form a second wagon on a player that could be ML, like mm1, Soren, etc.

I see, but my point is: if Rayn hadn't caught him on his slip, I think he would have better chances on staying alive than MM1 or Tormented.

I found those filters worse than Kelsier's for this sole thing.

By going against VE he drew his attention. If he went WITH VE against MM1, it would fit better the Mafia perspective.

You've just gotta be really careful about this heuristic. Mafia do things so they don't look like they're doing mafia things.

I still never forgot a game years ago where a trolly/weird player went *really hard* against me at start of d2 after I caught him in some sort of slip. I ended up rationalising that he was town because it was absolutely suicidal for him to go against someone who couldn't possibly be lynched, and he was just signing his own death warrant (as i was pushing him already).

Alas...


And he ended up being Mafia I suppose.

But you at least caught his slip. Discrediting you fits scum perspective. Here, Kelsier joins the thread without ever being mentioned.

Anyway, I understand what you're saying. Gonna take care next time.

Also, Rayn, the thing about calling VE Mafia but not showing a better understanding of VE's filter is completely understandable and that should have been more explicit to me.

Awesome. Very good post-game discussion. Thank you guys.
I'm adorable.

Yeh he shouldn't have read you town for the reason he did.

How does this make sense given these are the facts:
- VE townreads me
- You townread me
- VE thinks my case is good
- You think my case is good

how?

Now he has two things to do. I intentionally didn't speak about the other part ("VE pocketing me" - argument), so:
1) Kelsier says "i don't read you as town" -> he is mafia
2) Kelsier says "while you can be wrong on your read and VE agreeing with you is scummy because [insert some reasons]" -> if the reasons are okay(ish) he is probably town.

He took the easy, no-need-to-think-way out.



Also, this is great

There was really no need to breadcrumb the check though.
But yes, he played very well. He voted for mafia on D1 despite coming from different environment and looked really town all game long (at least to me).


O.o I liked the guy but saying he played very well is kind of... awkward
