I'll be around soon. I just woke up but can play a bit from work when I get there.

So far from reading the thread I don't have anything new to contribute really. Everything's been a bit uneventful.

Trfel is behaving a bit strangely, flailing around for reads very early, but its NAI.

Morning Everyone,

Liked the discussion between rayn and trefl regarding eywa's reads. That's bumped trefl up. The scum reads seem off to me and need more explanation. I don't like ES particularly, but pandain is just one low content poster in a game of low content posters. ShapeLog town read also needs more explanation.

I don't like Jocks entrance. His first comment is he has nothing to add and things are uneventful. But as soon as HF throws out a name he jumps on it trying to bury Grack.


I didn't try to bury grack at all. In fact that seems like a deliberately hyperbolic way to describe what I just did!
I just reminded everyone that he said he's going to have alot of content.
The post where he said that was probably the thing that jumped out at me most from the first pages because its a promise that we can check up on later. That's exactly the kind of thing we should be looking for on day one, yeah?

you didn't mention him until HF called him mafia and then you piled on.


I didn't pile on though did i?
I didn't even suggest that he's mafia.

Why are you being so hyperbolic about this? This wasn't a pile-on or an attempt to bury someone, it was just a single sentence reminder that he said he was going to post more.

That might make sense, although I wish you hadn't answered for him to be honest :p

If that's the case, Kelsier, I very often bold and big stuff, its just my style (go look at my previous filters, this does happen often).

I don't have any really.
No-one looks particuarly town to me. Maybe trfel. Every read I have seen so far is a shot in the dark so I'm not going to join in on that action because its pointless right now.
Eywa's quicklynch post makes very little sense tbh, but not in a way that makes me think scum. I'd like some kind of explanation though because that's just weird.

Been reading Trfel's filter, its super weird already.
Like, the intention behind the posts seems townie, kinda flailing around loking for bits to grab a hold of, but the wording is suspicious. Lots of maybes and questions like 'do you guys agree?' and also the 'We can talk about something else if you want' thing.

Does anyone find Eversince's reaction interesting?

This is a particularly mafia-esque way of phrasing a suspicion, for example.

If I recall correctly, I was suspicious of Trfel last game I played with him for the exact same reason. He ended up being town. I think it's just how he posts


Yes I suspected as much. I think I remember something about that from End Of the World Mafia.
I agree about Kelsier. He disappeared at a strange time too and left a big question mark hanging over his head in my opinion. I didn't want to push too hard on it until someone else said something.

Ahh fair enough. I'm not really going for that kind of speculation early on myself since the rayn thing in the last game totally ruined my life for a day or so.

Voting keslier until he comes back and does something better or answers my question about why he over-exaggerated his reaction to my grack post.

What happens between here that your mind changes twice?


I read his filter.
I didn't really change my mind twice.
My initial impression was that he seemed townie because the intention behind his posts seemed townie and he seemed to be looking for mafia.
When I looked through his filter a bit more closely and noticed the wording I then found it strange.

Someone do something interesting please?

Does anyone find Eversince's reaction interesting? From posting fairly often and being active, once she started being under suspicion she changed her play and hasn't been present as much, didn't even respond to Shapelog or try and start a discussion with the new posters.

I really don't like this post from trfel at all. Everything in the bold is just wrong.

Eversince did respond to me about my post (see French pirate post), and also responded afterwards when I asked her on opinions on people in the game at that time. Eversince also was still active after that time and spoke to a new poster (saying hey to Pandain). Then right afterwards when Eversince responds he admits that the "sample size was extremely small", but does not formally drop the read at that point. He fires another bullet at eversince then later about the town lean on me before he back away from Eversince.

I find it odd how technical and misconstruing he was towards Eversince. I dont get how you someone can read the thread at that time and genuinely post the quoted post above from trfel.

Thoughts?



I don't like the wording of the post.
The content... it seems like he's making a stretch but its not something I would put beyond a townie trying to get some traction out of a boring day 1.

I agree with him that your post about grack after holyflare looked like what he said originally said. Well i wouldn't say you tried to "bury" him but it sure looked like a scumread and that you're just hopping on board with HF. Not so much when you continued talking about it with him, but first for sure.


OK yeah. I can kind of see where you're coming from, and I can understand why someone would think that.
The issue I have with Kels is that I explained it, in a way that makes more sense than the scumread angle, and then he doubled down and when asked to explain why he had doubled down on it he disappeared.

I don't think its insane that he would make the connection to begin with, but the way he followed it up was just poor. Whether that makes him mafia... I guess he needs to come and tell us why it doesn't.

I may have to downgrade my ES townread to null. Nothing useful so far, not really pushing for answers to questions or making any reads just posting alot.
Its still early though but for some reason I had ES as town and looking again I think that might just be the friendliness getting to me.

Kelsier I didn't say I was just joking.
I said I wanted to remind everyone, including myself, that he promised to post more later.

That's very different, and is a much more natural explanation than either i was joking or i was scumreading him in a pile on.

Actually if you are mafia it's not. If you are mafia it's definitely possible you are throwing more fuel onto the fire without sticking your neck out.


OK, so just to indulge this for a short time more, please go through the following post and see if you can point out:

a) Where I am throwing fuel on a fire
b) Where I suggest that grack is scum, town, or anything else or give any kind of read.
c) Where I am being opportunistic.

I don't think I was being unclear though rayn. Maybe I was, but I clearly said the words 'by the end of the day' in that post, which makes my intention obvious if you think about it, because the implication of that is that if he hasn't posted alot by the end of the day then he was lying, but before the end of the day it tells us nothing.

In some circumstances, its impossible to be clear, because people will ignore what you post and attribute motivations to you that aren't there regardless of the content of the post.

Rayn just to be sure what I'm looking at, you're saying that shapelog has shown the ability to discern when a post definitely isn't mafia motivated and didn't apply that here for whatever reason?

I don't think its a slam dunk but its definitely an interesting case. I can see a situation where someone doesn't apply a way of thinking that they are capable of, without having mafia motivations.

That said, I don't really like shapelog's posting in general. Sort of pressured ES a little bit then dropped it, made that post about trfel and then went back on it later while still leaving room to go back to the suspicion if needed.

Jockmcplop, why were you reading my filter, of all people's (post #196)? Just before (post #191), you kinda said that I was your strongest townread. I'm just not sure I follow.

Kinda feels like he's keeping his reads open, lots of soft pushes. Like his soft suspicion on Shapelog (not gonna vote him now but I could vote for him later), and his read on me (Trfel) (post 198). Admittedly the latter is one of my habits, but along with the lack of townreads, it just feels like he is really, really keeping his options open.


I was reading your filter because this is mafia dude. That's kind of a thing you can do to look at someone's posting. Why yours specifically? I have looked at most people's filter at some point so far.
Honestly I don't really have strong reads at all right now. I suck at day 1. Always have. In a way, I guess I am keeping my options open. Literally anyone except myself and hf could be mafia right now, and no-one's done a particularly great job of confirming themselves as town.

I am starting to think that grack's a good lynch though.

His reads so far have followed thread sentiment exactly to the letter and the fact that you could easily interpret his last interaction with hf as trying to discredit the innocent child - which has clear mafia motivation.

Eversince I don't think you're going to be able to win people over to a Pandain vote today.
We don't have long until deadline so I think we should organize something maybe and try to consolidate votes.

I think grack is a good option but I would definitely go for either slam or kels also.
I think only one of grack or kels is likely to be mafia so it would make sense in my opinion to go for one of those.

With Grack its not just his claim, its the way he followed everyone into scumreading kels and then followed everyone into scumreading shapelog.

Kels is worse though. I'm looking back at his filter now and there's just nothing there. Lots of posts and an argument with myself, but no real reads except two posts that he didn't like, one of which he immediately went back on.

I might not have much more time in the thread before deadline so I'm changing my vote to kelsier again. Grack is at least trying, and the stuff that makes me think he's scum isn't definite. Keslier has been really lame, just half a read s'all we've had from him. Also I don't think there's any support for a grack lynch and I don't think there will be.
Kelsier if you come back later when I'm not here and wow everyone with your reads, sorry dude. Otherwise, die scum.

I'm just not convinced enough rayn. I thought kelsier was going to give us more than he did but no, all he has done was argue a bit and point out two posts that he didn't like. That's rubbish.
Shapelog doesn't look good but doesn't look bad enough for a day 1 lynch imo, just kinda meh.

I know he would vote grack


I'm here now.
I'll be reading along with this until probably an hour before deadline then I've got band practice.
I'm leaving my vote where it is right now. Let's see where everything's at in a couple of hours.

Grack is in my top 2 for sure.

Despite the fact that he's been nearly universally read as mafia/null, I'd perfectly well accept that no-one wants to vote for Kiesler if someone could point me at a townie post of his.
He's been here, so its not like he hasn't had the opportunity.
I also find it a bit concerning when at least 4 people scumread a guy and no-one votes for them. It means they can't lose.

There was all kinds of agreement with Rayn's post on Shapelog and no traction for his lynch.


There was a bit. Not actually a huge amount. iirc only 1 person actually scumread shapelog off the back of that case/said it was a good case.

You/Eversince/Trfel.


This is not any kind of agreement:

I don't think its a slam dunk but its definitely an interesting case. I can see a situation where someone doesn't apply a way of thinking that they are capable of, without having mafia motivations.

That said, I don't really like shapelog's posting in general. Sort of pressured ES a little bit then dropped it, made that post about trfel and then went back on it later while still leaving room to go back to the suspicion if needed.

That's not me agreeing with his case. Its also not me saying i wouldn't vote for shapelog, its not even a hard scumread on shapelog, just a suspicion.

I can see your point though.

Interestingly neither shapelog nor KSC have defended themselves because they don't have to because they aren't in danger despite being scumread.
Don't you find that suspicious?

Yeah but other things have changed in the game. KSC stopped posting, for one. Do you only look at one single player before you decide who to vote for or are you being annoying for the sake of it?

Pandain def looks bad for the last couple of hours but I don't think anything has changed too much about my reads. I still like at least one of Grack and KSC for mafia.

Fair. I'm a really slow English reader myself. How long before you can make thoughts?


Is there something specific you wanted my thoughts on? Right now my thoughts are "I can't believe slam was mafia." I'll be here a while chatting though so anything you think I should look at just let me know and I'll try and summon an opinion.

Just a general pile of reads. I think your town I just want your thoughts on everything here since you're here.
Don't bother formatting if you don't feel like doing it.


This is a good point I haven't made any kind of comprehensive reads list yet at all. I'll get on it now,give me 20 minutes.

Town:
ES - I've gone back and forth on this but the slam lynch wins you conftown, gratz
HF - Town
Trfel - Killed slam

Town lean
Rayn - I completely disagree with the motivation hf has attributed to his posting, although I think he's wrong about some reads.
Pandain - He's pushing for the same lynches as me and surely no-one would be stupid enough to overtly try and stop a slam lynch right near end of day as mafia.... surely, right?

Null

Shapelog - Could well be mafia.I haven't seen anything that specifically suggests scum though.

Scum lean

Eywa - Has improved lately but still an annoying of throwing reads out randomly and leaving them unexplained which distracts people, so anti-town or mafia.

Scum:ONE OR MORE OF
KSC: No good posts at all. The posts he has made he either immediately goes back on (the trfel thing early on) or doubles down on a stupid misreading and then does nothing else but argue about that. Make some reads dude.

Grack: Stupid time to claim, don't like his read progression (it seems forced/unnatural).

I think I'm going to try and write a case next.

This argument that I'm following thread sentiment is pretty suspicious to me. I've given my own reasons for whatever push I've made and I don't think that's an accurate description of my filter.

My reads have been changing fluidly. I don't believe Jock's have so far.


They haven't been changing fluidly though, more like suddenly and often...

Which ones do you mean?

You say that I've been following thread sentiment, but I contributed my own ideas on Shapelog after I saw Rayn talking about him.

The other 3 people I mentioned just said they agreed with what Rayn wrote, which was just a convoluted meta-reason of how Rayn expects Shapelog to read a post, which I don't see how anyone who isn't Rayn can agree with without their own reasons.

Really the more that I think about it the more bullshit I think your push is. There were lots of people that "followed thread sentiment" on Kelsier/Shapelog. Kelsier was probably right about you just wanting to jump in with HF from the start of the game.


The part where you scumread ES stuck out to me specifically. Something about the timing of it. Its kinda hard to explain but it feels wrong.

What isn't helping right now also is that I'm sure that KSC is scum, slam was definitely scum, and you voted on the only other wagon going.


Rayn also did, but although none of his logic appeals to me but I think he's town.

I didn't agree with Rayn's shapelog post but I had other reasons for not liking shapelog.
Read the following again from that point of view and see that it makes more sense than whatever you are trying to make up about me liking rayn's post.

The thing about the timings is basically that you did follow thread sentiment straight away with ksc and then shapelog, which is fine, and if i was mafia i would definitely want to make my own case instead of just sheeping rayn's weird logic, but then i pointed it out and then all of a sudden you're scumreading ES out of nowhere with no prior explanation.

Just to clear this up one more time this is the sentence i am talking about:

I can see a situation where someone doesn't apply a way of thinking that they are capable of, without having mafia motivations.


That is saying to rayn that his case on shapelog doesn't make shapelog mafia.

My problem with Eversince was that she was very chatty early game and then when she was actually talking about reads there was no explanation for why Pandain was the best lynch 2019, when I felt that Pandain was a pretty unusual person for her to single out with that read especially when she said Pandain's meta was to lurk.

I first got into that idea here

Maybe this is true. I'm an irrational beast. But I'm trying grackaroni, I'm trying damn hard to be rational.

I'm happy to drop it and keep scumreading you until something changes my mind. I'm not tunnelled so that could happen especially if you are town.

Honestly there's more going on that just the timing of your reads, the voting thing I mentioned does matter at this point, given that I'm scumreading ksc and you voted on the only other wagon.

I think the whole argument is silly.Grack claimed doc. I he doesn't die tonight we lynch him. What mafia is going to let a town run loose with conf doc? This is what I meant before when I said I didn't care about his claim unless it caused chaos. It's a problem that will sort itself out short order.


Fair point. Let's see who's here tomorrow night. There was little point in posting a reads list right now anyway but ES asked me to. Better to see what info we get tomorrow and work from that.

I'm looking back at that talk I had with grack yesterday and reading it in the cold light of day it looks like I'm being a bit stupid.
I'm still suspicious based on voting alone but i'm upgrading him from scum to scum lean.
The way he carried himself during that argument does seem more townie than mafia.

I still think we should kill shapelog because of what rayn said. Going off my personal reads list, if shapelog flips mafia we're in a great spot (in this case my reads might be wrong and I would probably just sheep from this point) and if he flips town I'm looking at ksc and one of grack/eywa (mayyyyyyyyyyyyybe Pandain) and that's game over.

Like I said, its not particularly relevant in the next day or so. I'll be going for a shapelog lynch regardless at this point, so grack only becomes relevant if shapelog flips town and even then ksc must die first before grack becomes a factor.

I am not sold on trfel being town. The post about not knowing who to vote seemed honest which I liked but it always seems to be a struggle for him to post a read like he has to fabricate it. I don't know, just a gut feeling. Don't write him off just because he voted afk slam. I'll need to have a reread but don't expect much I'll be in handover meetings all day.


I just can't see him flat out killing a teammate with two other wagons available. Its not the correct play at all imo. Its vaguely possible but.... no.
If trfel and slam are both mafia, then at least one of kels/shapelog isn't and that gives him an out.

Hf can we talk about trfel please?

Him being town is pretty important if I'm going to go along with a shapelog vote tomorrow.

I can't see any way that trfel isn't town. He had the choice of 3 wagons, if trfel is mafia then at least one of those 3 is town and he can safely vote for them. He hadn't town read either KSC or shapelog at any point during day 1 so wouldn't have been contradicting himself. Both ksc and shapelog were being scumread by alot of players so no-one would raise any eyebrows at trfel voting for either of them.

I know you said its a just a gut feeling right now but can you see that the logic of the situation pretty much means he has to be town?

Nothing logical works in mafia, ever. That's a lesson you'll have to learn. I agree it's quite unlikely but I can't shake the gut feeling.


I'm not sure that this is true, more like you can't trust logic over everything else. I'll keep an open mind but continue to presume that trfel is town unless I see something extremely convincing.

So I'm using this general strategy to solve the game (using lynchings if there's no vigi), but it relies on two assumptions being true. I'd like help to identify any weaknesses in this plan.

1: We're assuming that trfel and ES are town for killing slam.
I rate this at +90% chance of both being town. I'm happy to proceed under this assumption

2: If shapelog is town then ksc is mafia and vica versa.
Is it possible that neither are mafia --- how likely is this? This to me is the biggest weakness of this plan. I'm fairly certain on ksc but there's always the possibility of reads being wrong and I don't want to pursue a strategy that screws everything up based on whether one of my reads is right or not.
^^ Sorry if its already been explained why one of ksc and shapelog must be mafia but I can't remember that conversation.

If no-one else was voting I would go for ksc.
If the plan above seems sound then I'm happy to go with shapelog just so that we're all on te same page and we can have a nice, smooth, easy day 2.

Yeah this a problem.

I guess I'll have to try and figure grack out before tomorrow. Grack/eywa seems somewhat possible to me right now.

BTW that first sentence doesn't make sense to me, do you mean this:

Yeah I meant to say town.

Honestly the slam post on Eywa puts me against thinking he's scum, which is why I'm pretty certain there's at least one (if not both) scum between Kelsier and Shape.

What did you think about that post?


I think its more than likely that you are right, but just based off that one short post I wouldn't want to gamble on it. I had forgotten about that tbh. That does make it more likey that there is one mafia in ksc/shape.

Everything is pointing towards that anyway. I still think killing shapelog is a good idea, even though I'm still null on him. It looks to me like this although this plan could feasibly go very badly wrong, the chances of that happening given what we know are kinda low.

To be honest Holyflare is right, there is a small chance I could do what I did as mafia and it's not worth ignoring. Yes it would be a suboptimal play, but sometimes mafia messes up. You can judge the likelihood and look at my play as a whole, but I would never recommend treating someone as 100% confirmed town for that alone.

That said if you lynch me first while Shapelog/KelsierSC/Pandain/Eywa- are all alive, I think I'd (rightfully) be a bit annoyed


Oh I'm not saying 100% town, I'm saying +90% that both you and ES are. Given the balance of probability of mafia sacrificing one of their own unnecessarily I think that's fair.

We're pretty much all working on the assumption that there's mafia between shapelog and kelsier so surely that's a good plan, no?

I disagree, you need to understand why there's a good chance of Rayn flipping mafia


So try and convince me. I've seen nothing so far to suggest that he is, hf's case doesn't even remotely convince me. You haven't really explained it to me other than its based off your own PoE list, but I don't really believe in that list, because you've hardly explained anything that you've said so far.

Grack: Stupid time to claim, don't like his read progression (it seems forced/unnatural).

This argument that I'm following thread sentiment is pretty suspicious to me. I've given my own reasons for whatever push I've made and I don't think that's an accurate description of my filter.

My reads have been changing fluidly. I don't believe Jock's have so far.

Your reads are too confident. I don't see enough doubt in any of your play. I don't think that's your town play.

The biggest shift I can see over the night is you upgrading me from scum to *scum lean* (I can really see the doubt creeping into your mind!) and then you assuring HF that Trfel cannot be mafia because of his vote.


Yep. In the last game I didn't follow up with my leads, I acted unsure, and all of the mafia that i suspected of being mafia didn't get lynched in part because of that - then we lost the game...

THis is exactly what i posted after that game (bolded for emphasis). I'm making a concerted effort not to make the same mistakes as I did last time which played a part in costing town the game.

I feel like I should have got artanis on day 2 but I kinda gave up a bit. I could've had conversion day 1 also but didn't really go for it. Covnersion you shut that down pretty nicely well played.

Bugs we should definitely hydra on the next game where mods allow it.

Just to follow up on that, and you can ask hf about this, someone has tried to meta read in each of my last 4 games. I have only ever played 5 games on here, and each time the meta read has been wrong, and each time I have said at the time that meta reading me probably won't work because I'm deliberately changing my game and I've played too few games to get a good meta.

Each time I'm ignored.

Hopefully this time, given that I've been able to demonstrate exactly when I said I would change my play (before this game started) and exactly how I was going to change my play, and its exactly that change that you hae pointed out - i'm hoping you'll listen.

Ooooh.

Is that different from the norm or same? Are you standing firm on all of your reads?


Is what different? Not getting anything useful from me? I guess that depends on your perspective

Am I standing firm? Fairly.
I'm interested to see what happens with koshi.
The more time that goes past without shapelog posting the more i want to lynch him.
Rayn still seems town to me.

Pandain/grack I'm not entirely sure about.

Grack is looking less and less mafia to me as the days go by but i'm still somewhat suspicious of him.
Pandain is hard to read this game.

ES/trfel i'm still townreading based off the last vote, that ain't changing.

Eywa, you are also starting to look more townlike, although I don't feel like I'm getting anything useful or interesting from you because I can't figure out how you're coming to your conclusions about anything.

Well, that's fair, I'm not really trying to build any cases. Somehow my POE matches everyone else though to some degree. Which... IDK, is it normal here for people to share the same POE as everyone in the game and to act on it? I would expect people to be suspect of that... OR maybe it is as simple as 3 lurkers?


Every game I've played in has felt different here tbh. This game is remarkably calm and everyone is basically on the same page which is a bit of a weird feeling but I like it.

I get where you coming from. I've not seen a game this serene on tl.net and my number one theory is that its because mafia is afk. I guess it could be that they somehow have this entire situation exactly where they want it to be but they haven't killed anyone and our only lynch was a hit so I would expect more movement from mafia to try and disturb things.

From my memory people showed more interest in lynching Kelsier than Shapelog, right? I dont remember what happened there.


You had a conversation with pandain yesterday where the idea to lynch shapelog and then PoE our way to victory came around and I think it was agreed that that is a good way to go.

I have maintained all along that ksc (koshi) is my number one lynch/mafia read. I liked your plan of lynching shapelog first though, it makes sense to me and seems like a decent move.

I'm also hoping that koshi shows up and does something, which makes me slightly more hesitant to throw my vote that way before he's had a chance.

OK you're right you wanted a vigi to kill shapelog. I get the difference, but for me that idea works just as well using a lynch on shapelog (given that we have mucho time now to do what we want and get a nice solid PoE going).

I don't think there's a guaranteed victory here at all, but its close to that. I think treating ES and trfel as 'probably town' and putting them on the back end of the lynch list and then just working our way through it, although simple and kinda boring, gives town the best odds of winning here (unless something changes with ES or trfel that gives us a good solid reason to suspect one of them).

So the lynch list is (in order of how likely we are to be able to lynch people):

Shapelog/koshi
Eywa/Pandain/me
rayn/grack
ES/trfel

obvs hf isn't in there.

We have to get more than half way down this list with only mislynches before we can lose, and that's with successful mafia kp each time. The only possible issue there is a grack/rayn scum team and that looks incredibly unlikely to me.

Alright then if we're never lynching grack put him with hf and we have an even bigger chance of winning.

I'm shit at figuring out roleclaims and what they mean, mostly they just confuse me, so in every game I play I have a similar conversation to this at some point. If y'all are sure grack is absolutely confirmed town then yeah I'll go along with it just out of ignorance.

We know there are three blues. HF is one. That means if everyone who has a blue claims and we have three total, those three people are confirmed. Because the host has confirmed there are three. Does that make sense?

Grack is not confirmed "yet" per se. But once the last blue is revealed (it always happens sooner rather than later) we will be able to know he is either telling the truth (3 claims total) or someone is lying (more than 3 blue claims)
That's also why if you or kelsier or shape or eywa are blue you should claim. Because you will be the last confirmed town and there's no way we will lose.


This does make sense actually yeah. So the last blue needs to claim to confirm grack really, but he's most likely town just on the back of his claim(s). OK.
I don't know why I have this feeling about grack. I think its irrational paranoia, but the gut feeling is still there even though it really looks like he's town.

Of course, if we do end up just lynching our way through that list it doesn't matter one bit either way cos we're probably gonna win anyway.

In my opinion, Eversince is practically confirmed town. Jock, Rayn, and Trefel are 98% town.

Grack and Ewya are null to slightly town.

Keslier and Shape are likely mafia.

why is jock on your list of mafia candidates?


He's not my first pick at all. He's just a possibility. I'm saying if we lynch through these 4 we will never lose.

Okay which of those other three can he be mafia with and why?


If Jock is mafia Eywa probably is.
Almost certainly not with Kelsier. Also unlikely with shape, though I won't rule it out. I would rather lynch Trfel than believe a Jock-Kelsier team.


I don't know how anyone could even entertain the possibility of me being mafia with either shapelog or kelsier to be honest. I null read shapelog for a while but I've been pushing hard to lynch him since yesterday.

You clearly have never read any of my mafia games.

It's not about Town cred, it's about logic, aggression, and bandwagoning town.

I dont think people change, at least people dont change what's working, and that has been working for pandain as mafia.


With pandain:

Eywa/jock most likely. Jock's posts have been less and less impressive since slam flipped. I haven't really thought about it to be honest so don't want to rule anyone else out yet. Everything is open.

I can agree with jock being mafia with pandain. I will check if that makes sense thread-sentiment-wise after i have slept (still havent after night shift). I heavily disagree with Pandain+Eywa combo.


I can see where this line of thought comes from, although I genuinely had the feeling day 1 that Pandain was buddying me pretty hard, which would be massively unsubtle if we were both mafia, no?

I dont remember who was buddying who or if it even can considered as buddying. Idk why that would be unsubtle, people can agree with each other regardless of alignment.


iirc he townread me almost immediately. I'm going off memory though so check that if you think i'm wrong.

This game is a meta goldmine for hf.
This is what happens when he can't do all his usual stuff.

This game is fucking boring lol. I'm confirmed town and the 2 people everyone thinks are mafia are literally modkills and there was no night kill. I couldn't think of a more mundane scenario.

So I'll live in a world where there's a chance mafia grack made a play, however unlikely, just because it's more fun to. I don't currently think he's mafia but it's whatever. It's fun!


The thought of a grack/rayn mafia team here still amuses me greatly. I'm like, completely sure that it isn't the case but man that would be some extreme mafia play.

The problem I have with hfs line of thinking here is that the game isn't boring because town are doing boring stuff. The boring stuff is.most likely cos mafia are afk/lurking. If you try too hard to force an entertaining game town will lose because you're looking for things that probably aren't there and distracting from what is basically the most reasonable strategy for a town win.

It doesn't really matter what the most fun mafia pairing would be if its most likely just the afk players.

Its ok I can explain it to you.
When i said that to hf, its because he is refusing to go along with the idea that mafia is afk because that would be boring, hence he was pressuring you on day 1, and now pandain. His strategy for the game is to make it interesting by finding reasons to accuse people of being mafia instead of looking for the most likely mafia.

When I said it would amuse me if you and grack were mafia, I wasn't trying to pressure you and grack, I wasn't trying to convince anyone else that you guys are mafia, I just meant it would be kinda funny if it were true.

If you want you can try and convince me that those two things are the same, or you coudl admit that that isn't the case at all...

Like literally every single time I make a comment that isn't serious you come in and question me about it as if I jsut wrote a massive essay on why i think its the real truth.

It was a jokey fucking comment. No -one thinks you and grack are mafia, which is why I said that.

OK I'm changing how I play right now for the rest of the game.
No more jokes that can be misinterpreted.
.

WELCOME TO JOCKMCPLOPBOT v1.0


Current mafia reads:
Koshi 76% mafia probability
shapelog 60% mafia probability

Current strategy:
lynch shapelog, followed by:
koshi
pandain
eywa

I don't think there's a guaranteed victory here at all, but its close to that. I think treating ES and trfel as 'probably town' and putting them on the back end of the lynch list and then just working our way through it, although simple and kinda boring, gives town the best odds of winning here (unless something changes with ES or trfel that gives us a good solid reason to suspect one of them).

So the lynch list is (in order of how likely we are to be able to lynch people):

Shapelog/koshi
Eywa/Pandain/me
rayn/grack
ES/trfel

obvs hf isn't in there.

We have to get more than half way down this list with only mislynches before we can lose, and that's with successful mafia kp each time. The only possible issue there is a grack/rayn scum team and that looks incredibly unlikely to me.



Can somebody explain this post?

Bottom is mafia lynchers. Top is mafia reads I assume.

Grack blue
Rayn also blue?



So the lynch list is (in order of how likely we are to be able to lynch people):

Seems this one was beset by bad luck from the beginning. A couple of hours later on the deadline and it might have worked.

The mod will remove the modnote its ok (he wouldn't have been banned anyway probably just a warning but they can be removed easily).

Ok good, sorry I didn't know what to do and he posted again after posting in a couple other places. I didn't expect he would stay upset so long and then did something stupid.


Its cool. The mods here are normally really nice anyway and I would guess that they like the mafia subforum just for the amount of content that happens in here.

I understand why he was frustrated its a bit of a shitty situation getting back to a game when you've been waiting for ages to play as scum only to find the deadline was sooner than you thought and you're dead.

I really want to play vs mafia slam too I reckon that would be a fun experience.
