how about you now answer?

I already saw that post, I maintain my point is valid.

There's a lot of information around Eversince that has not yet translated into associative reads.

My focus right now is on reading people, not being a conveyor of information to you and everyone else in the game. I'm not solid enough on my reads for people on this site yet, so it's a work in progress, but I think Eversince is the correct lynch today and I have a current list of untouchables.

I'm really not sure what else I'm supposed to provide or how it'll be valuable.

You must have a reason for it and afaik it's the reasoning you are voting for her (as you haven't said anythig else on why she is mafia).

You know I didn't like the way you come in, throw the easy vote on me. I had this same problem with Conv already this game. Now you want to say I'm just a RNG right after you say I'm mafia? I'm waffling again.

No, my read on you is mafia. You obtained that role via RNG. I apologize for the confusion.

Honestly I'm not scum reading any of those guys. They are all townreads for me right now, i just don't see the ES stuff.

OK, since you're town, I'll bite. What are you seeing?

Actual to elaborate a little more on my Ewya point.

She will fight tooth and nail and still say nothing with Rayn. But there is like 15 pg of content and I'm the easy vote, so just kill ES, dump everything else, and try to appear like your doing something.

I don't think you're the only good lynch, but I think you're the most likely to get lynched of the narrow pool of acceptable lynches. The difference is negligible, so we can say you're the best lynch... or tied for the slot at least.

No, I've always said you're mafia, a role which you obtained via RNG.

Idk, feels like you've slipped a bunch and you're reluctant to just tell people they're wrong when reading you. You on multiple occasions tiptoed around that either indicating you don't like the way you're being read or that you felt a read on you was justified (despite it being a mafia read)

You also haven't provided much substance imo despite aggressively posting (I know, I'm the one talking...)

Overall, I'm failing to see any reason to not lynch you. Hopefully this falls into the category of sufficient justification, because I won't be going into any of the scum theater, that's discussion for another day.

Throw your vote down and stop saying how much you don't like my position, if you don't like it, put your vote where your mouth is.

Yes maby I am to nice to people. Starting a game how is that bad? To me it seems like your taking easy town lynch because I CAN'T play the same every game. So just kill her.

Maby I think about this wrong. Maby I just need to be assholes to everyone. But that is not who I am so I can't do it!!

Nah, your start to this game (basically your entire first page of game (not including pre-game) filter is:
1) trying to pocket Pandain
2) random town read on first player to post
3) trying to pocket Pandain
4) AtE

There's some random comment about how you don't mind conversion (that was contradicted like 2-3 posts later - and then later escalated again).



Overall, here's a summary...

You're all over that AtE this game

You're always coming back to Pandain mafia and claiming that his read on you is wrong... Well, if he's mafia... He's not wrong is he? He's just... Well, Mafia.

You went through a phase of trying to name drop every player in the game, which lead to some reads escalating rather... Strangely.

You seem to be displaying a complete lack of understanding for why anyone is being read in certain ways rather than seeing things from their (town) perspective.



I'm voting ES now, I'll be voting ES at end of day as well.

Now I'm be ignored. Just fucking great.

As a general note:

Don't engage scum. In the event that I'm wrong (which I doubt), if you seriously think I'm scum, you're going hard and far out of your way to get my opinion on things. Which is really just not good and which is why I'm mostly trying to not communicate with you... but you're very very very very insistent. It's not to be rude, it's just you typically don't ask your opponent for their take on the game.

You allow them to slip naturally.

Personal preference, I'm pro-hammer, but if there isn't going to be a hammer, I firmly believe that deep south is a better format, since you kind of save yourself the night phase and the game can progress smoother.

I don't know that I would read much into it, because I also deviated from my standard gameplay to write to you because you seemed distressed.



I'll wager it's not gameplay tactics from Pandain.

ok trfel

I tried to explain my thought process in the posts, but I can explain further.

I don't like deciding who to vote for immediately and just sticking to it no matter what else happens. The post I was replying to there was like "We need to figure out who to vote for". I was pointing out that we don't, its still the first half of day 1 so there's no need at that point.

Then pandain makes some dodgy looking posts and vote with basically no reasoning behind it, so I questioned him but he disappeared so I voted for him. When I asked him to come back and be more townie its because I want him to come back and be more townie, then I will remove my vote from him (which I will also do if someone else starts being very mafia).

Its a pressure vote. It sucks that I have to explain this to you and you can't read between the lines.

I'm sorry I just don't quite get this answer. First, the bolded portion isn't true. The bolded portion happened before the events in the previous paragraph, not after. I would understand if the progression happened as you describe, but that is NOT what actually happened.

And the red, about it being a pressure vote... Does this:

Lynching lurkers isn't always trash.
I personally don't see the rush to figure out a vote right now. I guess we all play differently but I'd rather wait until near the deadline to gather as much as possible first.


Usually I do too. Which might happen again but I'll need to go back to sleep sometime tonight. I don't want to wake up tomorrow with 10-15 extra pages to try to read with 15 minutes, decide and make a vote. I'd rather talk while people are about.


Fair enough.
What do you think of Pandain?
Immediately reversing his only read is a little suspicious and 'I changed my perspective' is a very opaque answer as to what happened. It kinda it makes it impossible to progress a conversation about what exactly pandain is thinking. Not being open about your thought process is mafia motivated at this point, especially when something like his trfel read debacle sticks out so obviously in the thread.

His vote on you also seems like he's forcing something, trying to be first to vote for some reason.
I can see mafia motivation everywhere with this guy already.

Look like a pressure vote? You even call it a strong scumread. Maybe we have different definitions of a pressure vote, maybe I am wrong, but regardless it appears to me to be a legitimate scumread of Pandain and that seems to be clearly what you are saying here.

Also, pressure votes do not work.

Jockmcplop, have you abandoned your confidence approach from last game?

There was an early interaction between HF and Rayn that struck me as off, but I kind of came out of it thinking that Rayn was scum... Because they kind of amicably came to the same idea despite seemingly starting from different view points (this is when Rayn switches his vote off of ES, then back on.

I don't agree with Pandain, I think ES being willing to only lynch me shows a lack of understanding of what town players are seeing in the game right now and I'm a pretty safe resting spot right now.

Why does mafia ES refuse to lynch a viable counterwagon on someone she has said she would be willing to lynch?

If you can't explain this, you can't vote her.

1) Grack could be mafia
2) She could think I'm a more viable lynch
3) She's under a lot of pressure and people under pressure do a lot of crazy things they wouldn't do otherwise.
4) She's afraid of giving more associations, so she's locking in all of her reads (this actually is pretty well in line with her play since I joined the wagon)


The issue here is, I don't think anything a player does under pressure or after a slip matters

Do you really think this? Anything a player does under pressure is irrelevant?

I believe there are studies on this with real world applications (investigations and so on), but typically... Yes.

Most people don't handle pressure well, sometimes they are super scummy , you apply a bit of pressure and they post a bunch without thinking. Oh... Must be town?.. Sometimes the opposite will happen, it's unpredictable and pretty useless for reading a game.

1. Then vote Grack
2. Objectively not true.
3. The vote count was 3-4 Grack-ES. It's not a difficult choice to make as mafia to join the counterlynch. You can't cite pressure.
4. If ES gets lynched, we still know nothing on Grack regardless.


What slip have you seen?

1) No
2) It is if he decides to jump in and play
3) what?

Definitely not very sensible. Then you couldn't count anything a person up for lynch does ever.

In that logic, once you decide you want to lynch someone, you ignore absolutely everything they say/do because they're "Under pressure"


Exactly. Shit like 90% of what happens in the thread happens because of pressure on someone.

I disagree with what's optimal, but that does seem to be the case here.

Why would ES think you are a more viable lynch? There were no votes on you. There were 3 votes on Grack. Only Jock has had some suspicions of you.

Answer me this.

If you can't answer it yourself then you are admitting that ES is playing against her win condition as either alignment... Why would she do that?

I only think ES is scum and therefore won't vote anyone other than ES even if that means I die as a counter wagon.

What about Grackaroni?

Hmm, well, grackaroni MIGHT be town, but then again, he may not be. We've already defended each other, so I'm going to stick to my original plan and you can lynch me if you don't like it.

My God! Eywa is so town guys, he's playing against his win condition. Why on earth would he do that as scum?

If she's town, her play makes complete sense. She does not think Grack is scum. She thinks you are scum. Yes, no one really thinks you are scum, but maybe she can convince people. She is not interested in "just surviving" per se, she is interested in lynching scum.

If she's mafia. Her play makes no sense. She is trying to push someone who almost no one thinks is scum when she's up for lynch and there's another viable counterwagon. In fact, there's only one viable counterwagon.

Honestly, both are ok plays as either alignment. You can gambit on yourself or you can counter wagon.

It has nothing to do with alignment, it's just about playstyle.

How is this incorrect????

If ES fails to switch to grack, then flips red, we immediately kill grack because basic logic says so. If they are both mafia, mafia loses.

I can't see how on earth you can possibly think otherwise.

It would be incorrect to do so. That's not an associative, what happened before is the associative. All I'm saying is that her optimal play as mafia is always the same as her optimal play for town. She can counter wagon or she can gambit, both are valid plays and are NOT associative.

Like, based on this logic, you should always counter wagon as scum because they'll think the player you switched onto is your buddy, which would be incorrect.

Eh...

What?

Sigh....

I'm just saying you have option A and option B and neither is "correct". If you select option A as town, you must select it as scum.

Claiming "oh, this player chose to gambit rather than counter wagon" means nothing.

You might as well base your read on the time ES went to sleep.

At least HF thinks both are scum, so he has some leeway. You do not.

Like I said, if they are both scum this logic proves even more that ES wouldn't take this action. Its literally a loss for mafia as soon as she flips.

This is incorrect, but probably the perception.

Honestly, both are ok plays as either alignment. You can gambit on yourself or you can counter wagon.

It has nothing to do with alignment, it's just about playstyle.

We shouldn't all lose our minds because someone chose gambit on themselves...


How is this incorrect????

If ES fails to switch to grack, then flips red, we immediately kill grack because basic logic says so. If they are both mafia, mafia loses.

I can't see how on earth you can possibly think otherwise.

It would be incorrect to do so. That's not an associative, what happened before is the associative. All I'm saying is that her optimal play as mafia is always the same as her optimal play for town. She can counter wagon or she can gambit, both are valid plays and are NOT associative.

This applies regardless of either player's alignment.

I don't think your idea that "The optimal town play is the optimal scum play" is true. Or even close to true.

For instance, ES will almost certainly get lynched if she tries to continue pushing for you. As town, it makes sense if she truly believes you are scum. As scum, it doesn't make sense, becuase she will almost certainly get lynched.


Let me give you a counter example.

Let's say we are playing a massive game, with 20 players and 5 scum. If one scum member buses and lynches all the 4 other scum, that's optimal town play. Is that optimal scum play? Of course not.

No it doesn't.

Oh my god.

As town the optimal play is to not get lynched. If all town are slippery enough to not get lynched, then who wins? Town. Without fail.

Not getting lynched is hands down the most valuable skill in Mafia as either alignment. That is a fact.

Saying "oh they don't mind the consequences of" NOOOOOOO.

That is NAI and it's bad town play if that's the case.

I'm sorry, I'm 100% town, the cases where self lynch is a good play are minimal to none. I would have to be sure of my contribution AND to have maybe 85%+ hit rate on my confident reads in-order to make a sacrifice play even remotely close to being optimal.

Pro tip guys: Don't white knight people as town

1) It makes the game impossible to read
2) Scum can just cruise by once they get town read
3) Your reads just aren't good enough

I'm not trying to be overly negative, I think very few people fit into the category where this becomes an acceptable play... But it clearly didn't work here.

I'm more talking about Jock & Pandain jumping in to defend you. Now, especially if you are actually town, our situation is MUCH worse than before. And I don't believe you are town (which is part of the predicament we find ourselves in when you are helped out of a situation by other people rather than by your own argument.

If you're mafia, well, this is a minor set back.

How is any of this really? m!Jock makes no sense defending m!ES. m!Pandain makes no sense.
Either one couldn't move the vote anyway. If anything it means Truffles/ES team.

There's usually a lot of benefit in mafia white knighting... So... I guess refer to the exhibit where I explained that it's bad for town to do it.

Accuracy is important as well... But more so than that, if you don't defend people who you think are town (which is white knighting), it leaves less space for scum to help each other and take over the game.

It's an objectively bad play for town, due to the implications it has on scum team. If you never do it as town, scum team are more isolated from their partners.

This goes back to what I was saying yesterday, the #1 most important skill for town is staying alive, so that they don't need people to defend them.

Or you can I guess, be useful, contribute.

Contributing my reads does nothing to progress the game state if everyone thinks I'm town. Unless they think my reads have a higher accuracy than their own, which... They don't. So I'm not sure what you're getting at.

I think #116 & #117 is a hard slip to be honest, when trfl asks about ES' reads, she makes up a read on Conversion which contradicts what she said about conversions in #104.

That's a quick conversion from conversion is fine to conversion is bleh.

I actually agree with most of the case against HolyFlare by the way, I just can't get past the fact that we dodged an ES lynch to hammer our PR. I was kind of leaning ES (if town) -> HF...

But obviously the counter wagon screwed that plan. Now, I'm in a rough spot, because the element of "what do I allow people to get away with" comes into it. I think if Jock is scum for instance, he needs to be lynched... So I might weigh a little bit less purely on reads and a bit more on "what if" and who deserves death.

You do you eywa, but I can't see you managing to convince anyone to vote with you on a townread because you feel like they deserve to die.

Obviously the Grack and HF flips proved that the town among you were all wrong and mafia was on the counter wagon to ES.

You should probably all reconsider what you think you understand about this game.

Seems likely.

Grack NK is interesting. It suggests someone who doesn't know Holy Flare is about to die is happy with the current balance of the game...

Which would have been 4-3 in favor of the group on the counter wagon. HF flipping town confirms that there is at least 1 mafia on the counter wagon (and my guess given the strength of the wagon - probably 2).

So guaranteed 1 mafia among

Jock
Truffle
Eversince

And 1 mafia among

Jock
Truffle
Eversince
Rayn

Everyone has AT worst a 50% chance of hitting today by shooting inside Jock/truffle/eversince.

I think all three of them should throw their votes before we decide.

So, let's just tally up reactions to the flips so far:

Rayn: you're all wrong.
Pandain: we're all wrong
Eywa: you're all wrong

Jockmcplop: why are you jumping to conclusions?

Eversince : Vanish (it looks like her post was intended to be delivered before flip)

Idk, obviously the only thing that's bothering me is the hammer from yesterday because it prevented a lynch on eversince which is equally likely to be dumb town or scum taking advantage of dumb town.

Guys, read my god damn filter and come back with a straight face saying I could be mafia. It's not going to happen.

If you don't think I'm mafia, take your vote off of Rayn, we only vote on this side of the wagons if you think both of us are mafia.

Wait... I have a great idea. Guys, hear me out. You were all 3 wrong about 3 players. Let's keep the band together and keep voting as a block! Absolutely brilliant.

So, truffles is only ever scum with ES, so he is never the target today. If Rayn is scum, there is still 1 scum among Jock / ES.

So we're always voting either Jock or ES today.

So, if ES is town (which is doubtful), she knows that it's between me, Rayn and jockmcplop... She doesn't believe both scum targetted her d1 (wow... You're correct!).

Answer my question above and you will see that this is wrong

Oh, I don't think that you and Rayn is a likely combo. But then think about it...

The hammer clears truffle unless he's saving m!es.

Me and Rayn are extremely unlikely as a combo... And my filter in no way indicates that I have the slightest chance of flipping scum.

So... Eversince should be voting you.

Yeah but with me rayn and pand on ES unless one of them changes its the end of the game unless ES is mafia.

Who do you think is the scum combo?

Me and trfel?
Me and ES?

Why do you think I'm mafia all of a sudden? None of what you're saying makes any sense at all.

I'm not accusing anyone, I'm trying to get you to see that you being on a vote with ES makes no sense.

Let's say ES and you are both town.

The only possible mafia combo is me and Rayn.

Do you firmly believe that to be the case?

If not?

Change your vote.

NO

Its its either you/rayn or trfel/ES

Like I said before I'm about 75% in favour of it being you/rayn

Truffle is not scum with anyone other than ES, the day 1 hammer indicates that.

That's exactly what I said

scumteam possibility 1:

Rayn/Eywa -75%

Scumteam possibility 2

trfel/ES - 25%

Why can't it be Rayn + ES?

I'm fairly confident.

I'm not 100% townreading ES..

This is exactly what I've been saying for a few pages.

That's why I was saying to truffles that 1 of rayn/ES is mafia. We need to work out which one, then the game is solved.


But we agree the game is solved from ES PoV?

Jock seems to understand his town perspective better than anyone in the game, so I assume he's town. So...

Possible mafia combinations are truffle + ES, ES + rayn or Rayn + truffle.

Since none of those align with the possible combinations of t!es, ES has to be mafia.

I'm pretty much ruling it out because of how the game has gone so far.

It could be, but I'm putting that down as being extremely unlikely.

This remote possibility is why we should vote into whichever of rayn/ES we decide is mafia.

The issue with ruling that out is... If ES is mafia, you, pandain and truffle have acted as her scum team... Therefore Rayn would not have had to do anything.

They weren't town reads, just outside of my interest to lynch day 1.

Combination of factors

1) ES was super scummy and would be the first and only lynch from the jock/truffles/pandain wagon.

2) I felt like Conversion's entrance was OK and then people's reactions to him made him more likely town than HF and Rayn who at this point were in agreement and didn't argue at all.

I still think Truffle is the more likely scum buddy, but I can't definitively say that.

i don't think that's the case, i just posted about jock. trfel at least is trying to be reasonable, jock just decided who to call mafia and is making the evidence to fit his case even when the evidence clearly suggest otherwise.

Jock understands his town position, Truffle has demonstrated no such understanding.

Truffle hammered D1, but somehow was AFK at both flips, waited to get the vibe before posting.

If jock really forgot about eywa and is telling the truth in his first post then BOTH of Trfel and ES are ALWAYS 100% mafia. So jock is lying 100% of the time here. Al-fucking-ways.

This is correct. So is ES though, so let's just lynch her.

I think jock's case is terrible, but that's to be expected as the town among them has not done well this game.

Trfel's game overall just looks like someone who's not trying to get into trouble. The hammer with less than a minute day 1 is really bad. 1) it saves mafia 2) there was comment on it.

I would expect a townie who comes back for a last minute check to hesitate long enough to carry them over deadline or to at least comment on how close it came because they came to the thread, decided and hammered with less than a minute left.

Basically, misguided is NAI... Confidently misguided is a weird approach to take as either alignment. I think, if you're going to open wolf, you are going to try to simulate your town ability and I don't believe this game is how he views his own town performance overall.

Mostly confidently misguided is town because you need to either read poorly as town or play with people who don't know your ability in order to wolf that way...

So strong players don't really do it as wolf (though they may have occasional lemons in their town games that play this way).

Weak players dont typically do it due to lack of confidence as scum.

You want the real answer?

I lied. I didn't think she had a strong scum game. But I wasn't going to call her out or say like "everyone but Eversince has a strong scum game," that's insulting. You can clearly see through the rest of my posts, especially the early ones, that I characterized Eversince's mafia game as forced, dry, formulaic, aka not that great. But I try to be nice and non-insulting.

Obviously I was wrong, and her play this game was incredibly improved. But that's why I said what I said, I basically just omitted an exception for Eversince to avoid being insulting. If that makes me mafia I'd do it again anyway.

The irony of this post if you flip town.

1. My initial townread on Eversince. The reason I posted it was to start conversation. If you look at every town game I've played in years, I've started with an early read of some type to try and get the game going. Yes I know it's a stretch, but it effectively got the game started, so I consider it a success. Look at any if my games where I was present early on and you will see this trend.

2. Voting for Conversion. Again, I wasn't trying to hide my presence in the thread, I posted 10 minutes before the deadline. I wasn't trying to hide my vote either, but I was on a phone and I was rushing to read as much of Conversion's filter as possible. I thought my time was better spent trying to read Conversion's filter and deciding what to do than posting in the thread. Maybe that was wrong but that's what I did.

The fact that he only later explains that he voted conversion because of a scum read is awful... In this post he basically just says he read his filter, but doesn't explicitly state his EOD reads which is kind of what I'd be looking for town to do if they were justifying a fuck up.

I read what you wrote Rayn... The issue I have with it is, Pandain, Grack and trfel also randomly pushed Conversion at end of day...

I mean, trfel also said today that it wasn't due to a town read on ES, but a mafia read on Conversion? So... He didn't have a solid town read on ES, and he had not discussed anything negative about Conversion at all that day. So... Instead of posting something like "why not grack?" or point to someone he actually talked about, he re-read Conversion's filter (note: he didn't re-read ES who he claims he was not town reading to the point of saving). And he comes to the conclusion with 0 discussion that Conversion is definitely scummy.

Well, that doesn't make much sense. There are even points during Day 1 where trfel liked Conversion I think... But I'd have to go back and check.

Actually, #122 is the only post about Conversion from Trfel on day 1. #915 is a hilarious turn from #122 (though distant from each other).

Trfel scum reads me all of day 1, never pushes my lynch over Conversion... Me, being town, the last 10 minutes of day 1 from Trfel position would be pushing a scum read, not checking to see if I have a scum read.

Also, remember #915? Well, who did Trfel push day 2? Rayn... Why? Because Rayn makes more sense for town!jockmcplop to push than Eywa.

Also I didn't try to save Eversince, I tried to lynch mafia. To me there is a difference. With Conversion that was a random lynch to save Eversince; with you I thought you were mafia.

I did look at Eversince's filter D2 to re-evaluate and found some suspicious things, I really really regret not paying them more attention But it is a lie to say I did not re-evaluate Eversince D2 because I spent a significant amount of time in her filter and my thoughts are clearly posted.

Ah wait, I see... So you saved ES day 1 and day 2 you were just coincidentally following along with her again, but unrelated?

I'm not mafia and I refuse to be lynched, better try something else.

Judging purely by gamestate here it makes sense to me that raynpelikoneet is mafia, it feels like mafia has a decent amount of thread pull and influence. Honestly it makes me think of raynpelikoneet/Eywa- or raynpelikoneet/jockmcplop. I have no other real reason for why raynpelikoneet is mafia though

Jockmcplop, can I ask you why I should be towreading you? (not a challenge, honest question)

This post is terrible, it seems like preparation for when Eversince dies, because that clears me and Rayn... He has to maintain a scum read on Jockmcplop.

Day 1 vs Day 2...

Day 1 saved Eversince
Day 2 tried to vote for mafia (still thought Eversince was town, stupidly)

You were on a wagon with people who had mafia reads on 3 townies...

How did you come to the decision that you were not re-reading their filters?

Trfel says on D1 he didn't vote to save ES. He voted Conv because he thought ES is town and with Conv he would have at least a chance to lynch mafia. On D2 he says he wasn't gonna save ES and the situation is anyways different from D1 because he had a scumread (rayn).

Day 2, he also voted you because he thought ES was town.

Would you think it ends up in a scum lynch when you vote with your 2 scumreads in a game where there is 2 scum?

really eywa, read this please.

I read this.

Funny thing about this: Grackaroni and Jockmcplop had nearly identical reads D1 and committed to the same end result. What would you say Grackaroni's alignment is?

The other thing is:
jockmcplop's play is objectively bad this game (sorry man), and he's been wrong.

Trfel's play has been anything but noteworthy, he doesn't seem to be having a particularly bad game, but when you look at the results... Woah, it's a horrible game.

There's a 0% chance of me moving my vote, I think Trfel's play has too much AtE going on (his opening statement today), a lot of apologies (specifically with jockmcplop who he's pocketing), he keeps trying to scum read jockmcplop day 1 and backs right up again after presented with an answer to his questions.

I read this.

I know he is town but i would still lynch him if he was in the game or did the same stuff. I don't really remember what Grack did and what was his reasoning, i stopped caring about that when he got shot, but here's something i know:

For me mafia isn't really about finding contradictions and shit like that, you know like "fake posts" and shit. I hate when people get called out purely based on something superficial. For me mafia is about trying to find out why people post what they did and even if you did the most awful stupid shit it doesn't necessarily mean you're mafia. What i think ALWAYS makes people mafia is when people go against their own logic, one that they clearly say or imply is the case and then they do something else. Like when ES makes like 10 posts hard defending Grack for meta, just to say that "grack could do that as either alignment". That's always going to be a lie, and that's always a lie mafia makes. Always. Jock had reads. I don't believe Jock believes his assumed town read will flip mafia over his assumed scum read when he votes with two of his his assumed scum reads. I just don't believe it. The only reasonable explanation i can come up with that he went all in saving ES. I literally can't even think of a townie thought process for what he did based on what he said in thread in his D1 filter.

See.. Grack wasn't even on my radar day 1 due to how people were talking to/about him. So we disagree about whether or not he would have been a good lynch.

The rest is valid, but Trfel hasn't given me anything either.

When this game finishes i want you to remember this post in relation to my future games.

I thought that I tended to think things through clearly until you got a hold of my filter this last couple of days. Now youre just exposing the fact that I play this game like an idiot.
Live and learn I guess.

If you're scum: Well played (though I don't think this is the outcome)

If you're town, I think the amount of reads you posted as you had them turned out to be very confusing (rather than clearly mapping out your thought process). It's better to keep some of that closer to the chest because people will be less confused.

I hard disagree with this.

My goal is always to find mafia, I don't give out my thoughts so much because when people go back to look at my filter, they can very quickly understand who I'm scum reading at various points without putting their own spin on whether they think it's valid or not. I want people to read me off of what I'm thinking and not whether they agree with why I'm thinking that.

It all depends on how much you respect my reads.

I scum read you every game, it's pretty much my default since I haven't figured out how to get a read on you... I find it very difficult to come to mutual ground with you on pretty much everything.

We townread each other in the stupid multi-faction game. Although that should not really be used as an example because i didn't really care shit about town in that game when i figured out i can make a deal with mafia and win N1. I don't think you have seen me playing as scum though?

No, I haven't. But, yeah... Moral of the story I don't know how to read you yet.

I will go back to what I said day 1, I think the game was easy to solve if we lynched EverSince day 1, when I said this, I actually thought Rayn and ES were scum team (it's in my filter) due to how Rayn and HF didn't disagree at all on this one thing that came up.

I think saving players as town is really really counter productive...

Very well played though, I think Eversince had a really strong power wolf game. Rayn just the right amount of not being around. And town just self-destructed.

Maybe you had won, maybe i would have done some different things and we would see who gets lynched when it was sure bussing had occurred. idk. You were "right" there, i say "right" because it was some specific point and i have even no idea where that came from. But maybe yeah.

I think if ES gets lynched day 1, you actually have to play. As it was, it kind of dictated how D2+ would go.

I think Jock was super obviously town tbh.

I see where you're coming from on that point though.

I really enjoyed this game, even though it's kind of broken if you fuck up D1/N1... I mean, if you fuck up D1/N1 with a vig, you should always lose though.

yeah you played really really well. i didnt even have to lie or twist the facts when you got lynched for no reason at all. i was literally never prepared in you getting lynched so i didnt think i needed to do anything (if i did i would have yelled to lynch ES since i thought HF will figure me out in 1 sec if i change my mind), on that front trfel's case D2 was not so good. I think i would have had that read on Grack if i was town, i cant say for sure but i think i would have done it early on.

I told you all no lynch was optimal. Always no lynch after rayn's day 2.

Why? I heavily disagree with no-lynching here, mafiajsut kills Pandain and then what?


Well because your day 2 was essentially opening up the entire game by calling the 2 townier people in the game mafia opportunistically and Eversince was known to have to afk after Friday so bussing was optimal. You played very well though either way.

Gives you a whole lot more time to make errors too and search for more mafia but I guess the two people up for lynch didn't really give that great of a defence and seemed to just give up (even though they did try I guess).

Obviously it's super different being in obs compared to in the game.

I honestly never accounted ES' "possibly afking" into anything. I would never do that. I told her if she needs to go and cant play ask for a replacement. Idk who townier people i called mafia? I only called jock mafia i think and that was after when he made that case on me which i honestly thought was soooo bad (granted idk if it was "soooo bad" since i misread one of his posts).

Idk about the last paragraph? Are you talking about D3 here earlier too or?

I think you're being critical of your play though, you never come out looking worse than Trfel tbh.

Also, I don't think it's always TERRIBLE to hard defend someone... But you have to understand that when you do, you're betting the game on it... Because when it comes down to it, you're either successful and lose to them if they're scum... Or you're unsuccessful in which case you get lynched along with them in most cases.
