Trfel not voting Kelsier is probably the most suspicious thing in the game. Agrees with my wall of text, piles on with more reasons and doesn't vote. I also agree with Palmar that Shockeyy looks more and more like mafia. At least his reaction to Palmar saying something looked pretty bad and not in line with what I'd expect from him.

I think the reasoning that there's mafia between Trfel/Palmar/HF from Shockeyy doesn't make the slightest bit of sense. He's saying that two people agree with the case but also that I might be mafia. There aren't three mafia, it was pointed out to him and instead of re-evaluating his stance he doubled down on this false line of narrative.

Regarding Trfel I just reread his filter and his stuff about the case on KSC is actually a lot worse than I remembered. Regarding shockeyy I'll maybe have to reread the thread about the three mafia part to see what you talking about.

I didn't really see what you were talking about at least from shockeyy's filter unless I didn't ctrl f the right key words.

Perhaps because the only reason both you and LightningStrike have for town reading Kelsier is that you agreed with him that you all disliked my Sentinel "case" which was two sentences of pressure made to make Sentinel actually post content rather than a concrete solid "I've got mafia" "case". It's designed to be shit, it's designed to be called out and it's the most low hanging fruit a mafia player can criticise under the guise of content.



That's not the reason I'm town reading Kelsier.

Also, if your case is shit, it will be called out by town. Especially when they don't see your actual vote.


It's not shit, it's been agreed upon by three separate people that aren't me. Trfel, Rels and Palmar - all respectfully good people. If you disagree with the case, you don't simply get to call it shit since you are now going against the grain of 4 separate people that can't all be mafia. You need to give reasons and explain what parts are shit and why. Let's also not conflate that that wasn't my original point. You NEVER addressed the actual case in the post I quoted. The first post after the fact is ignoring the entirety of the posts and simply concluding "HF didn't actually vote at the end of it, that's so bad!". Firstly, why on earth would that ever make me mafia in any way, shape or form in another game? Am I usually inconsistent like that as mafia? Secondly, you never addressed the post there at all.

KelsierSC
Had the same reaction I had on Holyflare's case. I can get behind his logic, even if he is overreacting.


??????


You're right. I thought I fleshed my read on Kelsier more somewhere.

I said it was bad that you were pushing Kelsier while still voting Sentinel. It doesn't make sense as town and I believe you understand why. But then I realized you WERE voting Kelsier and dropped my read.
I'm adorable.

The first paragraph, that you described as noncomittal, is actually the best point against KelsierSC that has been brought up by someone other than Holyflare. See the quotes in question:

LS because the interaction felt ok and if I recall he is a fan of outrageous reads.

I agree with the read is there anything else you want to talk about?


Guess you could fill me in on why GB is town and why Rels is town?


GB is town because of his attitude which I don't think he can fake as mafia. Rels is town because he responded well to GB's push I thought at least.


Feels like it is way to early to make reads like that, GB posted some random stuff and GIFS in the first page, it's not exactly a hard mimic. There is no way the Rels push was anything real at all, you should know that tbh so his reponse is pretty null aswell.

Bad reads.
These don't line up. I get that agreeing with someone's reads and reading them as town are different things, but in this case KelsierSC didn't like LightningStrike's logic or read results and never mentioned a positive thing. Just read the posts yourself, I still don't understand AT ALL how KelsierSC decided to townread LightningStrike there. There was nothing about the conversation that "felt ok."



I believe this is actually very townie of Kelsier. He came to the thread, posted his impressions in a very objective manner. Having bad reads isn't alignment indicative, or it is, at least, town lean. I had the same impression Kelsier had with LS. The interaction feels natural.

Who would you vote for now?


Ok I said it here. I was sure I said it somewhere else.

I don't like voting early on Day 1, I'd rather wait for more information to come out. My vote will be there by the deadline, don't worry about it.

I never know what to think of Holyflare.

I don't really care much about [UoN]Sentinel at the moment. He hasn't posted much and the little he has posted contains a forced-feeling self-vote. I'm holding back judgement for now though, he may have some sort of explanation. I'd much rather kill KelsierSC than [UoN]Sentinel at this point, especially if KelsierSC isn't coming back. There are actual reasons to scumread KelsierSC, I greatly prefer that to [UoN]Sentinel, who is largely a question mark.

Palmar

While I like where Palmar has placed his vote (KelsierSC), I don't like the rest of his play at all. And that's the main thing that has me concerned currently.

Palmar typically has strong Day 1 play. He's very good at finding mafia on Day 1, and I believe he has one of the best Day 1 push mafia percentages on the site. However, that isn't seen in this game at all. Palmar has been almost entirely absent, despite having no excuse and nothing else to do (yay coronavirus). And it's not even a weekend. Furthermore, in the little time Palmar has been here, his presence has been extremely lacking. He sheeped Holyflare to vote onto KelsierSC (by itself not a bad choice), however the rest of his posts lack reasoning entirely:

But the incriminating part here is that Palmar has no direction. He doesn't care who gets lynched, he's not pushing his targets, he's content to do nothing. I could potentially understand if he (somehow) had four targets he felt were about equally scummy, but he even says he rates ShoCkeyy as definitely mafia (in contrast to the rest of his lynch pool).

Palmar doesn't care about who gets lynched. From town perspective this makes no sense. To me it feels like he's just interested in surviving and is disinterested otherwise, or that KelsierSC is town and Palmar is trying to set up extra mislynches.

But I don't know what to think, because I don't like KelsierSC either. I don't like unflipped association reads but while I do think they could be mafia together, it's probably less likely. So I'm a bit confused right now.

Thoughts?

I've evolved as a player. I see far beyond what normal players see and I can extrapolate things from a meta-analysis of this game.

Mafia have three main objectives:
  • Blend
  • Sew discontent
  • Survive


The game relies on mafia making mistakes and outing themselves through having perfect knowledge and being unable to think and type with the naivety that a townie has. This leads to the following main problems:

1.They know that fundamentally all cases against townies are bad.
2.They know that all cases against mafia are good (or poorly explained but correct) but they need to discredit them or downplay them.
3.They have to jump on cases on townies that they know are fundamentally bad.


Kelsier is textbook mafia in this situation, regardless of Sentinel's townieness or mafia-ness. Kelsier's last posts are the hallmark of every mafia player with perfect information. It hits point 2 and 3 to a tee.

Good point but GB is usually more jokey as town than scum especially doesn't do these type of pushes this early as scum like in Battle of the Drams. Rels I can see your argument but I been liking his responses so far just want to see him push the game more.


The only thing i'd give Rels credit for is he seemed to make an effort to understand all the nonsense chez posted and the resulting discussion. I just ignored all of that tbh. Rest of his play has been weak.

We can agree to disagree on the last part only. Is there anything else you want to talk about?


I think the push on sentinel blows a fat cock but I want to see who else jumps on it and pretends its a good case.

no one else has been impressive, would lynch chez because he gives me a headache.
the push on sentinel is bleh however he hasn't done shit so I would lynch him anyway , but I don't like listening to HF about anything. I operate in a no bully zone.


There is a fundamental disconnect between the information presented to Kelsier in the thread and his logical assumptions and progressions. In Kelsier's opinion, the case on Sentinel is bad but the case is majoritively based on the assumption that while being present in the thread and having the ability to post for the first 6 hours he has contributed nothing and his entries were unfunny.

Kelsier's current mindset if town: I have seen a case based on Sentinel doing nothing and I think it is terrible.

Then he follows up with a goodnight post (bolded for brevity) that he outlines "Sentinel hasn't done shit so I would lynch him anyway".

Kelsier's current mindset if town: ??????
Kelsier's mindset as mafia: The case on Sentinel is the only one in the thread so far, I need to find a reason to hop on it and he's doing nothing so he's easy to get rid of and put a vote on.




These points are irrespective of the rest of his filter. Remember the mafia tenets I mentioned earlier? Mafia has perfect information, they know that all cases on townies are bad and have to "reason" out their reads. His filter is full of discrediting people's opinions for almost no reasons.

Mafia has perfect information and it's a beginner mafia mistake to town read people freely for bad reasons and also out yourself by arguing against OK-ish points (remember mafia tenet number 1?). Again, Kelsier's filter is littered with these.

Says absolutely nothing about Rels again. Says he'd give him credit but also contradicts the credit right at the end of the point. The post amounts to nothing.




To surmise, Kelsier is following all tenets of playing as mafia. He is playing destructively, rather than constructively with his perfect information (he discredits town reads people are giving frequently). He discredits the Sentinel push while meekly saying he'd join it right after. Kelsier has perfect information and is mafia.


I agree with your points of how to analyze people as being Mafia. However, I don't believe Mafia, especially Kelsier, would play like this. I also believe his posts could come from a townie perspective.

I don't believe he was discrediting, I believe he was fleshing out opinions on what he thinks about peoples assumption. I do this all the time as town.

I don't believe that him disagreeing with your case but still willing to lynch Sentinel is alignment indicative. He can think your cause is bad while still wanting to lynch a lurker. Again, I do this all the time as town.

I think we should consider the reality of the thread. Town is very disorganized at this point. So Mafia don't really need to do anything. At this point, I would expect Mafia to just stay on the background just to see town destroying themselves. That means they won't make any commitments, they will not push anything, they will at most sheep people. In that sense, I find LS's sheep on me much more suspicious. When I dropped the push, he kept thinking you're scum. But he was sheeping me, so... ?

Trfel is the other one who isn't having strong stances at all. Why not?

Holyflare, especially in a game with two Mafia, I believe they will play a very safe game. That's not what Kelsier was doing.
I'm adorable.

Thoughts?

I wasn't digging Palmar's play for the same reason myself but idk if he is town or scum though because of it.

Palmar

While I like where Palmar has placed his vote (KelsierSC), I don't like the rest of his play at all. And that's the main thing that has me concerned currently.

Palmar typically has strong Day 1 play. He's very good at finding mafia on Day 1, and I believe he has one of the best Day 1 push mafia percentages on the site. However, that isn't seen in this game at all. Palmar has been almost entirely absent, despite having no excuse and nothing else to do (yay coronavirus). And it's not even a weekend. Furthermore, in the little time Palmar has been here, his presence has been extremely lacking. He sheeped Holyflare to vote onto KelsierSC (by itself not a bad choice), however the rest of his posts lack reasoning entirely:

Let's keep it simple? Sent's first post was a joke about the opening post, possibly a result of him staring at it not knowing what to write. Then he became uncooperative and generally didn't look like he was having fun, but rather resorting to mimicking a zero-fucks attitude to provoke too-scummy-to-be-scum theories.

I like the wagon. We don't have to bite our teeth out to convince Kelsier.

##Vote: Sent

This is a fine vote as well.

Honestly I'd kill any of the 4 I mentioned.

But the incriminating part here is that Palmar has no direction. He doesn't care who gets lynched, he's not pushing his targets, he's content to do nothing. I could potentially understand if he (somehow) had four targets he felt were about equally scummy, but he even says he rates ShoCkeyy as definitely mafia (in contrast to the rest of his lynch pool).

THIS is a very scummy post. And that's why I think your case is not good, HF. Because scum will play safe. Just as this guy.

My thought are that you're Mafia trying to confuse town by throwing suspicions at palmar while still scumreading Kelsier but not wanting to vote him at all.
I'm adorable.

I've evolved as a player. I see far beyond what normal players see and I can extrapolate things from a meta-analysis of this game.

Mafia have three main objectives:
  • Blend
  • Sew discontent
  • Survive


The game relies on mafia making mistakes and outing themselves through having perfect knowledge and being unable to think and type with the naivety that a townie has. This leads to the following main problems:

1.They know that fundamentally all cases against townies are bad.
2.They know that all cases against mafia are good (or poorly explained but correct) but they need to discredit them or downplay them.
3.They have to jump on cases on townies that they know are fundamentally bad.


Kelsier is textbook mafia in this situation, regardless of Sentinel's townieness or mafia-ness. Kelsier's last posts are the hallmark of every mafia player with perfect information. It hits point 2 and 3 to a tee.

GB is town because of his attitude which I don't think he can fake as mafia. Rels is town because he responded well to GB's push I thought at least.


Feels like it is way to early to make reads like that, GB posted some random stuff and GIFS in the first page, it's not exactly a hard mimic. There is no way the Rels push was anything real at all, you should know that tbh so his reponse is pretty null aswell.

Bad reads.

Good point but GB is usually more jokey as town than scum especially doesn't do these type of pushes this early as scum like in Battle of the Drams. Rels I can see your argument but I been liking his responses so far just want to see him push the game more.


The only thing i'd give Rels credit for is he seemed to make an effort to understand all the nonsense chez posted and the resulting discussion. I just ignored all of that tbh. Rest of his play has been weak.

We can agree to disagree on the last part only. Is there anything else you want to talk about?


I think the push on sentinel blows a fat cock but I want to see who else jumps on it and pretends its a good case.

the push on sentinel is bleh however he hasn't done shit so I would lynch him anyway , but I don't like listening to HF about anything. I operate in a no bully zone.


There is a fundamental disconnect between the information presented to Kelsier in the thread and his logical assumptions and progressions. In Kelsier's opinion, the case on Sentinel is bad but the case is majoritively based on the assumption that while being present in the thread and having the ability to post for the first 6 hours he has contributed nothing and his entries were unfunny.

Kelsier's current mindset if town: I have seen a case based on Sentinel doing nothing and I think it is terrible.

Then he follows up with a goodnight post (bolded for brevity) that he outlines "Sentinel hasn't done shit so I would lynch him anyway".

Kelsier's current mindset if town: ??????
Kelsier's mindset as mafia: The case on Sentinel is the only one in the thread so far, I need to find a reason to hop on it and he's doing nothing so he's easy to get rid of and put a vote on.




These points are irrespective of the rest of his filter. Remember the mafia tenets I mentioned earlier? Mafia has perfect information, they know that all cases on townies are bad and have to "reason" out their reads. His filter is full of discrediting people's opinions for almost no reasons.

Mafia has perfect information and it's a beginner mafia mistake to town read people freely for bad reasons and also out yourself by arguing against OK-ish points (remember mafia tenet number 1?). Again, Kelsier's filter is littered with these.

Says absolutely nothing about Rels again. Says he'd give him credit but also contradicts the credit right at the end of the point. The post amounts to nothing.




To surmise, Kelsier is following all tenets of playing as mafia. He is playing destructively, rather than constructively with his perfect information (he discredits town reads people are giving frequently). He discredits the Sentinel push while meekly saying he'd join it right after. Kelsier has perfect information and is mafia.


I agree with your points of how to analyze people as being Mafia. However, I don't believe Mafia, especially Kelsier, would play like this. I also believe his posts could come from a townie perspective.

I don't believe he was discrediting, I believe he was fleshing out opinions on what he thinks about peoples assumption. I do this all the time as town.

I don't believe that him disagreeing with your case but still willing to lynch Sentinel is alignment indicative. He can think your cause is bad while still wanting to lynch a lurker. Again, I do this all the time as town.

I think we should consider the reality of the thread. Town is very disorganized at this point. So Mafia don't really need to do anything. At this point, I would expect Mafia to just stay on the background just to see town destroying themselves. That means they won't make any commitments, they will not push anything, they will at most sheep people. In that sense, I find LS's sheep on me much more suspicious. When I dropped the push, he kept thinking you're scum. But he was sheeping me, so... ?

Trfel is the other one who isn't having strong stances at all. Why not?

Holyflare, especially in a game with two Mafia, I believe they will play a very safe game. That's not what Kelsier was doing.

I wasn't exactly sheeping you I had the same reaction as you and you voting him I thought we could push him? I still thought he was scum until his first post on his return on DMA.

I think the push on sentinel blows a fat cock but I want to see who else jumps on it and pretends its a good case.

going to sleep now but I will probably be posting from my office with the door closed. I think LS and vivax are pretty town. vivax because he has posted.
LS because the interaction felt ok and if I recall he is a fan of outrageous reads.

no one else has been impressive, would lynch chez because he gives me a headache.
the push on sentinel is bleh however he hasn't done shit so I would lynch him anyway , but I don't like listening to HF about anything. I operate in a no bully zone.


There is a fundamental disconnect between the information presented to Kelsier in the thread and his logical assumptions and progressions. In Kelsier's opinion, the case on Sentinel is bad but the case is majoritively based on the assumption that while being present in the thread and having the ability to post for the first 6 hours he has contributed nothing and his entries were unfunny.

Kelsier's current mindset if town: I have seen a case based on Sentinel doing nothing and I think it is terrible.

Then he follows up with a goodnight post (bolded for brevity) that he outlines "Sentinel hasn't done shit so I would lynch him anyway".

Kelsier's current mindset if town: ??????
Kelsier's mindset as mafia: The case on Sentinel is the only one in the thread so far, I need to find a reason to hop on it and he's doing nothing so he's easy to get rid of and put a vote on.




These points are irrespective of the rest of his filter. Remember the mafia tenets I mentioned earlier? Mafia has perfect information, they know that all cases on townies are bad and have to "reason" out their reads. His filter is full of discrediting people's opinions for almost no reasons.

Mafia has perfect information and it's a beginner mafia mistake to town read people freely for bad reasons and also out yourself by arguing against OK-ish points (remember mafia tenet number 1?). Again, Kelsier's filter is littered with these.

The exact roles in this game are as follows:

This is slightly scummy because after the game started he decided to read the setup before posting.

Made me laugh but I do agree with your logic at least.


you agree it's scummy to check the day post when a game starts?

lul x2


Discredits a read for no reason. Makes no conclusions.

last thing I remember is he is AFK as fuck as mafia, so not a bad read.


Jumps on giving a free town read to Vivax even though this is not his meta.

Guess you could fill me in on why GB is town and why Rels is town?


GB is town because of his attitude which I don't think he can fake as mafia. Rels is town because he responded well to GB's push I thought at least.


Feels like it is way to early to make reads like that, GB posted some random stuff and GIFS in the first page, it's not exactly a hard mimic. There is no way the Rels push was anything real at all, you should know that tbh so his reponse is pretty null aswell.

Bad reads.


Discredits read on GB. This is all discrediting reads.

Good point but GB is usually more jokey as town than scum especially doesn't do these type of pushes this early as scum like in Battle of the Drams. Rels I can see your argument but I been liking his responses so far just want to see him push the game more.


The only thing i'd give Rels credit for is he seemed to make an effort to understand all the nonsense chez posted and the resulting discussion. I just ignored all of that tbh. Rest of his play has been weak.


Says absolutely nothing about Rels again. Says he'd give him credit but also contradicts the credit right at the end of the point. The post amounts to nothing.




To surmise, Kelsier is following all tenets of playing as mafia. He is playing destructively, rather than constructively with his perfect information (he discredits town reads people are giving frequently). He discredits the Sentinel push while meekly saying he'd join it right after. Kelsier has perfect information and is mafia.


I agree with your points of how to analyze people as being Mafia. However, I don't believe Mafia, especially Kelsier, would play like this. I also believe his posts could come from a townie perspective.

I don't believe he was discrediting, I believe he was fleshing out opinions on what he thinks about peoples assumption. I do this all the time as town.

I don't believe that him disagreeing with your case but still willing to lynch Sentinel is alignment indicative. He can think your cause is bad while still wanting to lynch a lurker. Again, I do this all the time as town.

I think we should consider the reality of the thread. Town is very disorganized at this point. So Mafia don't really need to do anything. At this point, I would expect Mafia to just stay on the background just to see town destroying themselves. That means they won't make any commitments, they will not push anything, they will at most sheep people. In that sense, I find LS's sheep on me much more suspicious. When I dropped the push, he kept thinking you're scum. But he was sheeping me, so... ?

Trfel is the other one who isn't having strong stances at all. Why not?

Holyflare, especially in a game with two Mafia, I believe they will play a very safe game. That's not what Kelsier was doing.

I wasn't exactly sheeping you I had the same reaction as you and you voting him I thought we could push him? I still thought he was scum until his first post on his return on DMA.


My mind tells me this is bs
My heart wants to believe

Vote Trfel with me

Trfel not voting Kelsier is probably the most suspicious thing in the game. Agrees with my wall of text, piles on with more reasons and doesn't vote. I also agree with Palmar that Shockeyy looks more and more like mafia. At least his reaction to Palmar saying something looked pretty bad and not in line with what I'd expect from him.

I think the reasoning that there's mafia between Trfel/Palmar/HF from Shockeyy doesn't make the slightest bit of sense. He's saying that two people agree with the case but also that I might be mafia. There aren't three mafia, it was pointed out to him and instead of re-evaluating his stance he doubled down on this false line of narrative.


I never said there was three mafia? I know there's only two this game, I read the first post nah mean? I'm just saying that there's a possibility from those three people there's mafia.


Ok, why exactly do you think I am/was mafia to begin with? Please just explain it in 3 short bullet points or sentences.


1. You claim you made a case vs Sentinel, but it was barely a case, then instantly swap to KelsierSC for saying your case blows and him voting for you?

2. You're telling people how mafia should be played yet most of us here have played together already for quite some time.

3. I've played with you on the mafia team before, and that post screams end of game posting style from our game together.
