Just anecdotally you seem more on point with these calls this game. Could be a well we just lost a game due to this result punk tho so I'll not say it means anything about him more you though.

I like you better this game.

Ahh I think dp only would respect a rule if it works in his favour aka if he was mafia. Otherwise he'll find any logic possible to bend it to his will.

So DP/ttt not posting to respect the rules is a potential mafia tell for him and that iamperfections post is making that read?

This reads to me like a busser‘s opinion purely off gut.
Any own reasons for this read ?

Have I played with you before?

No I don‘t think that.
But I think that if you both were, that‘s how you‘d react.

Liked this answer though. Not going to keep you on the hook.

More likely town given last attempt of this game hence why I was wanting to give him more time.

Part 1 which got canceled due to irl stuff happened that was alignment revealing hence why we are at Part 2.

I noticed it.
Also the not trying to solve the game at all around the townslips.
Also the not denieing your own townslip and even somewhat pointing it out you did it.

But I saw TTT was also caught so ezgame ezlife.

Last game he did something similar as town that why I think it's alignment indicative.

Hmmmm on point is not the word I would use. Maybe confrontational. It's different not sure better. Pressuring Chez is 100% pointless.

He voted me last game for info here he is voting Marv to get rid of one of 3 difficult to read people. Although not exactly the same but you get the point.

No. Each day just start your vote on Chez and only remove it if you find mafia.

We can agree to disagree then.

I asked DMB.

I'm probably the best friend you have rn and the fact you're missing this as well confirms to me that you have no handle on what's going on.

If you are around, would be interested to see where your thoughts are at this point.

If you had to lynch someone that is not Chezinu right now who would it be?

Any thoughts on Koshi?

Thanks for the post :D

Does anyone know if Rayn was going to be absent for this long for IRL reasons?

I saw he was moving house but not sure if that is still the case?

Well, I actually don’t have much to say. Vivax’s posts felt obtuse and I thought I recognised misdirection there from when we were scum together. But he argued about it so damn much this time which is a different look and more classically ‘vivax’

I think it's solid too, I'm not fully caught up but I think Chez Rule wins this day.

YMMV

I have no excuse that's valid for inactivity, I've just got a lot of heavy shit going on right now.

May I edit out this post from the vote thread?

On August 28 2023 02:50 VisceraEyes wrote:

Generally speaking I agree with you and didn't follow the rule as a matter of course.

It's also true that there isn't much in Chez filter in the way of actionable content and from my perspective he's AS untrustworthy as you are, perhaps more so because he 'knows better' or whatever.

If you're town and this is wrong, I hope that I get another decent read before deadline. However, I'm also hoping that you're mafia and the Rule wins the day so there's a fair amount of conf-bias that I'm fighting against - not enough to make me check out of the game, but enough to color my reads until I know one way or the other.

Long story short, my vote isn't cemented to you, but it's not there with no reason either. I'm still playing.

Yo it's frustrating but I gotta say, you being here pushing against it is literally the best thing you can do.

On August 28 2023 03:01 VisceraEyes wrote:

Precisely that. If you are town and think it's nonsense then treat it as nonsense and ignore me. But be warned that others in this game, not many but some, don't think it's nonsense.

mathenalin your not new to mafia in general correct?

mathenalin, around 10 hours ago you said you were prioritizing getting a read on iamp and Jacob. I see you formed a read on iamp but there is no mention in your filter about Jacob (even after you talked with DP about your reads -- so it doesn't fall under "if anyone has questions for me" anymore i guess).

Did you ever form a read on Jacob?

Are you calling him mafia or bad

On August 28 2023 03:34 raynpelikoneet wrote:

I find it quite weird you treat this as anti-town behavior for some reasons:
1) Every vote particularly during D1 is "pressure", since noone has a good clue who is mafia (especially seems to be true this game since nobody really seems to have a even remotely good case they trust.
2) You said yourself, before voting for Chezinu, at twice, that pressure on Chezinu is good and should be kept up.

Why did you say that while simultaneously claiming if you announce pressure it loses power over the target?

i dont know about that.

she barely posted in the game when excited to be mafia for the record.

Repost for visibility:


Posts from last game:

+ Show Spoiler +

These posts last game really stood out to me in regard to Math's alignment. They were agentic, they showed him attempting to solve the game and to be aggressive in doing so, particularly he shared without being prometed which showed proactivity.

That is something that was really lacking at the start of this game, at some point I had to ask him for his reads because I had no idea about them

That was the first red flag.

HIs filter start of day one was a lot of meaingless one liners and the chez vote which i felt was way too easy compared to targets like me on day one.

and his posts lacked the bite and curiosity of the previous game, resulting in saying Icky, to a post that vivax had already pointed out was scummy previously.




This is why I asked him for reads, I was not happy with how his play was developing this game

but his reads seem forced, it's like he can't say 'i don't know' or something, too much summarizing of what happened in the thread without adding analysis or a real conclusion to it.




What does he mean hasn't really tried to form thoughts on Koshi and VE?

do you not just 'have' thoughts or not? most townies are in a constant state of trying to find out WTF is going on, thoughts are constant, not something that you need to labor over it seems like he is generating reads, rather than forming reads naturally.



Same again, summary on Koshi.

But how the hell does he not have a read on Imperfection? He was one of the biggest presences in the thread day 1.

But here is the killer:

You ready.




He says he thinks Chez is mafia.



Then he says that chez is crumbling.



Later you would think that he would have a progression on the read, still be calling Chez mafia, but he actually backtracks when VE pushes him and says that its a policy or health of the town lynch.

BUT HE ALREADY CALLED HIM MAFIA THE DAY BEFORE.


And more:



Again generating a read, doesn't know what it means, being disconnected from your reads is not a town trait. I don't care if he named it up and acted like it wasn't sus. I can't see thoughts and ideas from him, and I could in the first game.



Asking the thread for permission to vote VE. Townies just fucking vote dude, they don't need to gauge the temperature of the room first. It's just too self-aware for someone who was unapologetic in their pushes in the previous iteration of the game.



Marv you say you like this, I still hate it for the simple fact that only mafia pretend to have reasons to read people a particulary way, for town it is natural, it is a result of your state of being "town".

I actually don;t understand what is to like about this.



Hate this, again, over explained, trying to find validity as being part of the group.

Whatever. Too much sheeping, almost zero actual content, this is from a player who actually challenged things in half a cycle previously

He is the prime example of old school, fly under the radar, but not too much, post, but say nothing, mafia.

Uh huh.

I’m mostly very relieved as that would have meant trouble if he’d been town somehow xD

TTT next?

Barely skimmed so far, hopefully catch up today
