Things I Like - The Mafia Game - Game Over

[Malakandra]

I'm not understanding where you're seeing synergy, walk me through that

also, you should be able to say your words for D1 and D2 correct? I'm not sure why you're saying you can claim the 2nd word without saying it directly, why not just say it now?

Basically if I'm pikin up what they are puttin down, if Im on my deathbed day, I can say their word so we don't have to end early and then we know they are what she says she is.

 

[#HBC | FrozeηFlame]

also fontisian who to claim next?

 

[Malakandra]

Because I would still have my vote, so if I was unable to use it after saying the word they tell me to say, we would know they had that ability.

 

[#HBC | FrozeηFlame]

whoa I feel very small brain rn ty mala and sorry fonti if you left it ambiguous on purpose

 

[fontisian]

The synergy is that with odd players, we could have theoretically used my role to remove a scum's vote on a Day after Mala died and then Mala could vote to help get a hammer in the first 48 hours.

Also that.

 

[Malakandra]

ooop didn't think it might have been supposed to be ambiguous lol. I am smol brain too. Ima grab dinner because my exam ran late and I'm hungry

 

[fontisian]

also fontisian who to claim next?

Right, ****.

I was going to ask HeuryAlone to claim, but there's no way he'll actually do that.

Uh. BoomFrog . Claim.

oh, thats better lol. You thinking about killing scum I'm thinking about them spicy clears lol

 

[fontisian]

There was no Day 1 word, it's only something I do at Night. There are some other restrictions (like no names), but I'm not going to get into all of them unless I need to.

 

[Malakandra]

Vote: Wam

I kinda want to and to check if I can still vote

 

[Malakandra]

do you know what happens when someone says the word? Like is it a mod announcement or do their votes just not show up?

 

[Pythag]

snowing other backroomers is also illegal, I will leverage my connections in internet court to prosecute you if you're betraying me

I don't know what snowing is tbh

 

[Malakandra]

crap now I'm getting worried everytime I say a word with more than three syllables, I need to go caveman mode.

Me no like Wam. Me think Wam claim bad.

 

[#HBC | FrozeηFlame]

I don't know what snowing is tbh

outplaying as scum generally, but I think the implication is it's outplaying thru masterful pocketing

Gotcha.

What do you make of Wam's claim?
Also, what's the % you think Kary might be scum?

 

[Malakandra]

me/Fonti claim weird, Wam claim not

Wam scum

 

[fontisian]

do you know what happens when someone says the word? Like is it a mod announcement or do their votes just not show up?

Mod announcement.

It's a dnd 5e related word that starts with the letter p and is a cantrip. You're not going to say it accidentally.

 

[Malakandra]

wait, Sabrar claim not weird. Wam claim less hmmm that way, still hmmm other way.

 

[#HBC | FrozeηFlame]

Gotcha.

What do you make of Wam's claim?
Also, what's the % you think Kary might be scum?

re: Wams claim

you need to provide rationale for choosing these two slots ASAP, and the fact that didn't in this post already comes off extremely scummy

why would you ever not use this power? what do you mean by "causing issues?" be specific

ngl this feels like a claim designed to get out in front of and mollify a potential watcher sitting with incriminating info, especially given the info given by Sabrars flip as a tracker

also, why didn't you ever think to claim this D1 when you were on the brink of elimination? this is a very low impact and yet also CONFIRMABLE power. You didn't think it might be a good idea to say "hey guys instead of misyeeting me today, why dont yall just direct my power to confirm it?" Even if it put a target on your back and scum NK you to avoid the clear, it's better than "being an easy misyeet", in your own terms, for D3. So yeah, why didn't you make this claim sooner given the relative weakness but confirmability of your power?

re: % Kary is scum, I really cant justify a deviation from 50/50 atm, you hit me right in the feels when you labeled him the wildcard. Most afraid of a kary snow of all my town reads

 

[fontisian]

Sabrar's role wasn't weird though.

 

[Malakandra]

ends in ation? I was about to say what I thought it was holy crap I need to come back with an intact brain

I really want to find Kary sus because of his push on Synch for so long, but Synch was doing some...scummy stuff. It's hard for me to feel justified in my reads and yet claim that Kary is grimey for doing the same thing

 

[fontisian]

ends in ation? I was about to say what I thought it was holy crap I need to come back with an intact brain

That's the one. Do not say, tell your brain no.

Mala is staring into the void with this voting word thing

 

[Malakandra]

Mala is staring into the void with this voting word thing

I only scream into the void sir.

 

[Malakandra]

but yes I've never felt so tempted in my life. I've got a little devil on my shoulder saying "come on buddy, say it. It would be so funny. It would be helpful to confirm Fonti too. Its not like you are gonna vote scum today, you haven't ever before."

 

[fontisian]

Calm down, bro. We'll confirm it before eod.

 

[BoomFrog]

Everyone needs to chime in on this

Wtf is there to chime in on? You are quoting Chaco saying they think Sync is scum.

No, I remember Mala saying he knew he was going to end up as the deciding vote before it happened, scum!mala didn't just get caught in a weird spot.

For the record, this was at the point that it was tied votes right before the cross voting, so things were already locked and Mala was indeed surprised by fast forming wagons.

Uh. BoomFrog BoomFrog . Claim.

VT.

#HBC | Kary Claim

 

[#HBC | FrozeηFlame]

Wtf is there to chime in on? You are quoting Chaco saying they think Sync is scum.

did you miss the bolded? my point was to draw focus to Chaco's strong feeling that synch v. kary was TvS, which now implies kary scum if his read on that interaction is to be given any weight

 

[fontisian]

Chaco also thought me/Syn was TvS, because he was just reading Syn as scum.

 

[#HBC | FrozeηFlame]

oh I know trust me I'm well aware his syn read could have tainted his overall read of the interactions

 

[BoomFrog]

did you miss the bolded? my point was to draw focus to Chaco's strong feeling that synch v. kary was TvS, which now implies kary scum if his read on that interaction is to be given any weight

He clarified later it was purely thinking sync was scummy. It worries me when you cherry pick stuff like this man...

 

[#HBC | FrozeηFlame]

its not cherry picking I'm literally ISOing cleared slots and reposting what I think is worth talking about, but I do sometimes miss context because I'm jumping around then game a lot and not always re-reading in chronological order

 

[BoomFrog]

fontisian When Kary posted his reads dump near EoD2 why did you only pick apart the read on you instead of analysing the entire read list?

 

[#HBC | FrozeηFlame]

Reflecting on this I understand why it feels reckless or grasping and therefore scummy

 

[fontisian]

Kary dumped his reads at eod?

I'm looking, give me a min.

 

[fontisian]

Mala
jokes around about many things including own alignment, seems relax
Day 1 paranoia about being high on people's town reads feels real
dread and indecision over end of day 1 vote feels real
I find it hard to believe the waggons run up to 6-6 and the player left not voting is mafia. everything happened so fast I feel like its so much more likely that a townie got left behind.
confidence and eagerness going into Day 2 feels real
routinely makes points I agree with and I feel like im on the same wavelength

Chaco
hard defending wam when i pushed him, felt like a genuine read
saying he couldve got laser yeeted if he wanted to, feels real, not some multilayer scum play
tone towards boom and laser on day 1 was weird, seemed to be treating people as town when his reads didnt reflect that
initial reaction to laser's case seemed super townie
later reaction posts like 'just give me 24hrs' seemed scummy
sync notes slip seems like a weird thing to fake as mafia, think he genuinely believes it

Frozen
throws out ideas when he has them rather than with any particular agenda
feels more happy and relaxed about things, joking, posting memes
anger and confidence when people attack him feels legit
generally when I read his interactions / arguments I feel like he comes off as townie (e.g. dark horse, wam, boom)
reads seem to be very biased towards his own slot e.g. scumreading mala for vote on him
dislike how trusting he is of fonti and willingness to sheep their vote
starting to slip into background / become less relevant during Day 2

Dark Horse
immediate piggyback on my question in RVS, later just shrugs and owns it
stubbornness on Gorf in early game felt real
the way he prodded me and asked me questions during Day 1 felt like he was trying to keep me honest
when he argued with frozen, fonti etc I usually found myself townreading him
dont like his SvS read on Wam/Sync after they cross-vote Day 2. Seems kinda stuck in his reads.
seems kinda quiet and low impact overall

Laser
completely vibed with his Chaco case Day 1
stubbornness in the face of Chaco's rebuttal felt very cold / mechanical
vibe with his reads list Day 1
putting a lot of faith in meta reads i dont like at all
makes good points like about Boom Wam not being viable.
calls out fonti for feeling manipulative and for holding too many cards
feels like he's fence-sitting on certain slots Day 2
claim and solve seems more likely townie but feels weird, sudden.

Pythag
liked that he gave an early reads list, taking initiative there
dislike how he took a hard stance on sync 'muddying waters' in reads but then was singing their praises shortly after
pops in with one-liners that suggest he has his own train of thought
naked wam vote and no presence at end of day, kinda forget he's in the game sometimes
response to me about 'garbling words' could be trying to ingratiate himself
YEAH KARY kinda startling levels of enthusiasm from old man pythag

Wam
thin and wobbly reads D1
felt like some things were too obvious to be legit questions, playing the newb card
seemed more lucid when responding to criticism than when taking initiative
good reaction to the EOD waggon on them, no panic or shenanigans, shades sabrar
speaking up to defend their cross-vote
shows some original thought on synchro, frozen, etc.
reads list?

BoomFrog
putting chaco at top of town reads 'as a test' into instant townread on chaco feels fake
ambivalence on end of day waggon, only to take away decision from mala, sheeping sabrar only to not
end of day 'congrats' on day 1, later comes back to explain his reaction
"people should not be townreading me" re-framing his own sketchiness as good thing, justifies his reads based around it
shading me at end of day for 'not doing enough', then calls out my reads before he even sees my reasons ('shallow')
like his tone and back-and-forth posting style, seems straightforward and open
opting out of trying to read fonti/synch or hold them accountable

Gorf
scummy when town meta is accurate but him calling it out rubs me the wrong way
early game seemed pretty safe and by-the-numbers
fonti
felt like they were trying to pocket mala by giving advice, blatant buddying of frozen
calling people 'buddy' 'friend' feels skeevy, some kind of psychology 101 stuff
felt over-eager in breaking up me/Chaco before they could be confident it was TvT
feels kind of suicidal from mafia to antagonize me, no fear
throws out shade and doubt about things e.g. 'mala isnt a new player'
hard to follow their progression on reads and pushes
don't feel they have been chill whatsoever this game

Synchro
cryptic and distant through Day 1, reaction to call-out is to accuse others of overreaction
inflated case on me based around mis-representing my posts and criticizing by double standard
nitpicks at frozen and drags him without ever committing
spent more time doing extensive notes on early game than getting involved
seems very happy and comfy on somi waggon despite basic waggonomics and earlier scumreads
hypocrites themselves saying we should have killed frozen day 1
drops frozen and goes back to pushing weaker slots like wam / mala
no desire to explain themselves just handwave criticism and avoid responsibility
"somi waggon formed by coincidence" and other types of bull****
hasn't done a ****ty fake claim to try and save themselves

Ok, yeah.

Uh, didn't really care about the other reads when I was already townreading him, already knew he disagreed on Mala and Laser I wasn't going to convince him, thought the " hypocrites themselves saying we should have killed frozen day 1" was kind of weird as a positive thing but not worth questioning about when I was busy, and just, like, was sick of everyone scumreading me and wanted to point out how actively wrong every interpretation of me in this post was.

 

[fontisian]

I feel I'm in the wrong time zone for this game!

For Kary, chaco and malak are your boom votes serious?

Yo, if Wam is scum, his teammates are in different timezones.
