##vote: ritoky

I know its post-game, but I still think he's mafia with the crap he was pulling earlier tbh. Horrible reasoning.

Which specific association case, out of interest? Linky, I'll feed your ego if I can read it and its good.


y0su you just got really unlucky tbh. Especially with prpl who did pretty much literally nothing for you. Nice try though; I'd definitely try again because I don't think its normal to have someone so totally inactive that doesn't actually get replaced. >_>

Celestial gets an award for the craziest tunnel: scumreading ritoky post-game.


If I am ever in a game with him again I am literally 100% voting him day 1 for lynch and every subsequent day until he dies. His townplay here just resulted in confusion. >_>

Also note that I had red reads on two of three mafia Night 1 and helped force through a correct lynch D2.

But sure, I'm terrible at this. Oh lol.

It didn't help that BH (coach) had a very different schedule (time zones). I came into d1 completely cold (hence so many "how does this work? What's going on? questions)


That's pretty unfortunate. :-\

Worked out not too bad though. Look at it this way: you managed to be the last surviving mafia on your team in your first game. That definitely counts for something.

Never once insulted you. I will maintain this until the end of time. No mod contacted me about my play. Everything I stated was a direct relation to your play and nothing about you.


I'm not surprised. I didn't end up actually complaining to anyone about it.

You did insult me. It was a direct insult. And its amusing you have a go at my play when you did absolutely nothing to help town this game.

Lmao @ Cel. But I won't lie, ritoky and yosu went back and forth like 50x in my mind. And it's nothing special but this one here

I wanted feedback on it so badly cuz I rarely do full blown posts like that and I want to know what to work on.


Your link is broken, but I found it anyway, heh.

Was a good case. Personally I hadn't liked the way he split up his reads across two posts either. Especially given the way one half of them was pretty town and the other half pretty scum.


As for how to improve it...personally for me I'd have preferred to see it formatted a bit differently. Each quote with a comment specific to that quote underneath so it was easier to follow. As it was it was kinda "Bleh, wall of quotes" "Bleh wall of texts" and honestly the very first time I saw it I just skimmed before going back later when I was firming up my PoE list.

It's honestly something you (and even I to an extent) need to work on. Even as town, you're not going to be perfect overnight.



Not sure what you're getting at here.

Put bluntly if I'm actively casing someone and THEIR response to that (not somebody else's response, note) is to throw insults at me you can be damned sure I'm scumming them hard for it. I value logical arguments against the points I'm making; I'm a qualified scientist after all, using evidence and logic to refute something is kinda the entirety of the job (and being unable to refute something makes it a result, rather like mafia in that respect, hence how I played this game).

Throwing insults simply looks like a temper-tantrum attempt to undermine the points without actually addressing them, which is a scum move. Hence my gigantic post on ritoky's entire filter to beat him over the head with it and try and actually get some logical argument out of him instead of the "lol, but I'm town" thing. Which he never did. Note that nobody else was actually questioning my read on him, only he was, and that questioning amounted to nothing more than insults and "lol I'm town, srsly". Which is why I'm somewhat sarcastically still scumreading him post-game.

Anything he would have claimed would have been CCd. Unless you mean something else?

lol

you'll find that being rational is not a requirement to play mafia or to be town ^^ i had trouble with it too when i first started playing


One would hope that in a game of logic that rationality would be a thing. But I guess maybe I'm expecting a bit much. X-D

Yeah gb meant why didnt he claim cop or vet, since they knew we had a doc/vig



I mean I GUESS they might have been able to sneak it by an inattentive blue player? Dunno. *shrug*

Was still a desperate play on prpl's part.

lol rationality is a thing, but irrational responses = mafia is generally not a thing if that makes any sense

or even irrational reasons for reads -_- unfortunately


Ye gods why do people have to make this harder than it is. X-D

I GUESS the Vig claim might have helped him there?

Because I mean...no way can Vig claim before he's made his shot there or they just RB him all game. So he might have gotten a mislynch off on D2? Of course he's 100% dead unless they guess that they got the RB right because Vig probably just shoots him then.

I guess the question then comes down to whether you better value an extra mislynch and a sort-of wasted Vig shot (that is to say a Vig shot on a guy who is 100% dead either way) or a guaranteed doc kill.

Although by the gods you were a stubborn bugger with your read on prp. Haha.

I like writing posts analysing everything so it didn't bother me too much, sicklucker. That one took...two and a half hours to do I think. Maybe three. Pretty much going through every single post in ritoky's filter.

Expect more in future games. Although probably with a bit more analysis. For that one as a test I kinda went "stream of consciousness" on it and I'm not as happy with the result as I would like. Was busy that day so I didn't have time to sit down properly and go through it and pull it together cleanly (which would have taken another two hours or so).

Just be thankful I wasn't still on Superbia because his filter was massive this game, about 50% longer again than ritoky's. So it'd have been an even BIGGER post.


@Tictock: You were fine honestly. Like HtS said you did a good job at demonstrating you were town which made it easier to nail down the scummy players. You were pretty far down my list of "most lynchables" at the end and I think most other people felt the same; which is a good talent to have when you play.
