Mafiastuck (GAME OVER TOWN WINS!)

[Epic]

'firm

[Epic]

Welp, Strider rolled vanilla townie.

why would you post this
I would vote for you right now if 1) it weren't the pregame and 2) I weren't planning on voting for the Mod and the Co-Mod to see if they are in any way participants in the game (e.g. Gorrad is Andrew Hussie/Lord English/whatever)

strength of outing a townread outweighs damage of role spec

ps you're dumb

[Epic]

also the replace probably isn't game-related so any speculation into it is worthless hth

[Epic]

I don't see much benefits to town reads at this point of the game.

that's because you're dumb

[Epic]

I don't mind it so much since the replace out early = VT is terrible and inaccurate and only works because most people usually are VTs, but it's still stupid to call people VTs in thread.

yeah but i'm not going to shed a fountain of tears over it and get outraged about it and threaten to vote a guy because OMG SO ANTI TOWN but wait first i have to vote the mod, trololo, im 5, epic mind screw ftw, i love lulz and random zaniness

[Epic]

maybe if you quit saying dumb things i'll quit mocking you (but probably not)

[Epic]

Epic, I don't know what you are doing or why you are doing it but it would be mighty fine if you could not do it.

it would be mighty fine if you could not post

[Epic]

if i really wanted to be an ass i could reach out and talk about how alduskkel not actually wanting to vote the guy means he's just trying to seem protown but isn't interested in lynching a scumread but that would be idiotic and contrived and i'm town

[Epic]

Wait, is that written in purple text or am I actually hallucinating?

[Epic]

Wait, is that written in purple text or am I actually hallucinating?

you're high dude

[Epic]

Oh, epic is a hydra.

Carry on.

Nah, I just really love talking to myself.

[Epic]

We don't need the game to officially begin to actually start discussing things like Strider's replacement, Alsark's comment on it, and people's reactions.

[Epic]

personally i just want to touch my winer

[Epic]

Hey can we not do the thing where we post ten pages before the game starts.
Thanks.

i'll stop posting if you read me as town

[Epic]

i actually for real already hate myself

i also feel this way, every day, irl.

[Epic]

Titan, you have it in reverse.

VOTE: Phillammon

[Epic]

Why Phill is scum:

His #116 confirmation post feels incredibly awkward and his #126 is a lame attempt to slide onto the burgeoning Alsark FoS wagon that was based on hollow logic.

Now vote him please.

[Epic]

Don't look at me, it was petapan's idea.

(PS: Your vote sucks. Vote Phill instead.)

[Epic]

Sorry, I misread.

Point still stands though.

[Epic]

Dude, Mods aren't dumb.

If titan honestly believes that this game can be broken by mod distribution then he is a total idiot.

Seriously, if Gorrad has been around long enough to Mod a large theme and can't properly distribute roles, then I will eat my hat.

this sounded kinda townish nikanor. what don't you like?

that post can safely be made by either alignment wtf are you smoking

[Epic]

VOTE: combinatorialEnigma

truthfully i wanted to do this before the game started but luckily for me he actually drew scum so it's a vote i can make with a clear conscience

[Epic]

i thought the thread started on the last page hoo boy i'm dumb (HYDRAS ARE HILARIOUS YALL)

[Epic]

both of them, they both suck ass

[Epic]

let's be honest here phill is just spouting wikitells right now

[Epic]

Not sure how I'm supposed to use my power of converting people into vanilla townies during confirmation phase if we can't talk during confirmation phase.

This is what stood out to me the most. A roleclaim before the game had even started? And an extremely town-aligned role to claim. Sounds fishy to me.

Vote: Alsark

lmfao

[Epic]

he's (probably) town and your post is stretching

[Epic]

see what you see as "way too serious and pointlessly returning the question" i see as just being nonchalant (which is not why i think he's town it's that i think there's an implicit thought process to his vote that i like. not that i like the vote itself)

[Epic]

i answered that in that post please read it carefully

[Epic]

xtopher is scum, also.

[Epic]

Robocopter please stop

[Epic]

No, I mean, can you elaborate? Why do you like somebody randomly voting somebody who he supposedly knew he would vote who hadn't even posted yet? What sort of "thought processes" there seem town?

the "i know who i'm voting" post was

probably

him getting hella mad at me trolling the scrubs, but regardless it then became unimportant, numberq's post was kind of bad so he decided to vote for it

really i'm not going to go into a wall of words on a d1 gutread because it makes my conviction seem stronger than it is

[Epic]

that would be fine except it's missing the central point which is that he's focusing on things which are meaningless - he is overanalyzing stuff that's easy to talk about instead of looking for something meaningful, and his vote on you is crappy. "He seems to just post thoughts and passing remarks about anything he decides to, and I don't think that's helpful to the Town." - first off, how is posting thoughts and remarks about anything you decide to a bad thing? and "not helpful to the town" is a turd man scum way of trying to excuse lynching someone without thinking they're scum.

[Epic]

Combatenigma and nacho voting for Noir and calling each other scum is pretty scummy. Noir hasn't even started the game, so I dont know how they expect him to step up his game.

vote cE then

[Epic]

no i'm not going to tell you how to look town

[Epic]

Actually I see xtoph's 284 coming more from town than scum.

Though I don't really like the overanalyzing recently so I'm not sure now.

well empire agrees with you so w/e it's not a big deal atm

[Epic]

Wait epic is a deas alt? Really don't like epic's 269 of defending deas before he actually defended himself. Rubs me the wrong way regardless of the fact he was asked why he thinks deas is town. There is a clear diff between someone sharing his thoughts about a player and practically writing someone's defend for them.

sorry for explaining my gut reads when asked to

[Epic]

dont do this stream of consciousness bullshit it's not helpful

[Epic]

Hi Tammy.

Peta has indeed done most of the posting. A large part of the reason I personally have been holding back is that my reads are still coagulating and I've been going back and forth with petapan about them but I'm still meh. This game's been frankly a pain in the ass to read.

I don't think Vifam is scum though.

(I want to go on the record and say that torgonitoh's gimmick sucks ass and is the worst.)

[Epic]

I liked the way he approached his Nacho vote early on (#193/216) - even if I disagreed with it, I could see where he was coming from. I also liked how he backed off Phill in #238 and his read on xtoph in #297 as they pretty much tracked my own thoughts while reading the thread. Plus, tonally, he comes across as pretty genuine and laid back. I'm not sure how you're seeing him as scum at all personally.

[Epic]

I think the reason the reads aren't coming easy for me this game is because it's basically filled with either ultra serious posters that come off as contrived in their reasoning tonally, players who behave in a relatively scripted fashion, gimmick accounts, or all of the above at once.

[Epic]

The avatar makes me chuckle.

I wish I could have a deeper conversation with you about Vifam but it seems like your read on him (like mine) is based more on gut and tone rather than like super defined logic so I don't think that's going to get us anywhere.

Meh, I think I'm gonna try rereading the entire thread again tomorrow more closely and see if I have some sort of epiphany because right now I'm coming up empty.

[Epic]

snipe

which of these categories am i?

p sure it's none of the above for you but why do you care

People I'm going to spend the entire game being paranoid of because you're Faraday.

[Epic]

cheery dog is p bad right now but it could just be shell shock from the game size? also get a sense that he's a guy who doesn't put much stock in early game stuff from reading the game referenced, so.

[Epic]

Combat is a bad wagon everyone on DeasVail

explain why you think it's bad. i won't agree with you because i don't actually care about your opinion on things but i want to understand where you're coming from

[Epic]

his early posting was bad according to the other guy but i'll wait for him to explain that. but "I'd just like to see Noir make a content-ful post." just feels fake and the moment nacho prodded at his suspicion he backed down like a mewling little kitten because he realized FOSing nacho was more trouble than it's worth

[Epic]

what are you doing

[Epic]

oh god i'm so confused

i haven't read most of this game

why did i do this to myself

hurry, someone give me a quick and dirty rundown

quoting for when this guy is never relevant

[Epic]

You're saying some pretty good wordthings now though so I guess it's just your posting style.

like what. what changed you're mind.

[Epic]

Phillammon is town and everyone should vote the Rubik's cube instead.

[Epic]

Yeah, the way Nikanor reversed his stance on Vifam sucks.

[Epic]

Also, Porfervor, you should be happy your other head is posting. He's already got me townreading your slot.

[Epic]

Wow, didn't thinnk there would be this many pages...

Anyway, from what I read, DeasVail really sticks out to me. The quick vote hop without explanation seems bad

Vote:DeasVail

scum post

[Epic]

Titan, your other head already gave up the ghost for you guys.

[Epic]

Oh come on, Arthur, you're not dense. You know exactly what I mean.

(Also, your #592 was arguably the scummiest post in the thread.)

[Epic]

Because your #592 reads like you're needlessly exaggerating Enigma's apparent towniness while simultaneously strawmanning the case behind him and putting down BT's logic in an attempt to discredit him/browbeat him into getting cold feet (as you can see, it worked).

[Epic]

Yeah, I'd like to third that GNR's post and vote there were awful.

[Epic]

Actually, the DeasVail wagon sucks ass (for evidence of this, look at Pasch and GNR on it).

[Epic]

from an iso with little-to-no context I'm leaning town on Sunshine and Rainbows

cool story bro

[Epic]

Great Sunshine, since you agree, you should vote cE with us.

Also agree that BT and Dan are likely town but that's neither here nor there.

[Epic]

Modkill?

...

[Epic]

Bah myultiquote failed, and now since I don't have the scum claim quoted won't use either of the quotes I tried to multiquote, and the second one will not even matter a out was going to be a pointless question anyway.
UNVOTE: VOTE: buldermar

you just earned yourself a permanent spot on the scumread list

[Epic]

idk r u

[Epic]

cheery dog just get out

[Epic]

Sunshine, it's because he's scum.

(Effort post from this head after Tuesday when I finish my obnoxious 30 pg paper.)

[Epic]

What the hell, people. Paschendale was an idiot. Get off my back, and preferably to someone who is voting for Paschendale.
I think torgonitoh's Wutlolski and posting are fake as hell, like a convenient post restriction; he says badman. B-A_D, and for the sake of "_ _ _"man-ism he can replace those with S-U-N and say SUNMAN, and you get Alduskel by that effort. Artificial as hell

VOTE: torgonitoh

And fuck hydras

why was he an idiot

[Epic]

Epic: Do you still want combinatorialEnigma lynched?

yeah i think we're both in agreement there but not much else has changed

truthfully i want like 1/3 of the game dead right away but i don't want to hop around for no reason

empire has some stuff he's kicking around but he's going to be MIA for a few days and he's better at this scumhunting thing than i am so i'm planning to sheep his reads once he starts efforting

[Epic]

tazaro is annoying but i don't think he's really ascum and that was my read on pasch, him getting frustrated was probably a towntell, i usually think scum don't make a stink when they replace out though really that's pretentious conjecture from me, i don't have serious data to back that up

[Epic]

i'd vote riggs for instance but see no reason to abandon the wagon i'm on atm

[Epic]

Finally done with an absurd paper assignment, going to read the thread more closely and effortpost from now on and stuff.

[Epic]

oh no what a loss

[Epic]

Okay, so nearly half the playerlist is voting for one of Tazaro and Cheery Dog.

If we wanted a lynch on anyone except them, we would need all of the other players to vote for one person. And with five people (probably) being replaced, it's not going to happen.

It's been a week. There have been 45 pages posted in that time. We've squeezed day one almost completely dry. We need a lynch.

And it's essentially now impossible for it to be anyone except for Tazaro. So far all the players voting for him have posted and not unvoted since the replace.

I don't think there's any other option.

VOTE: Tazaro

And that's still only L-5. If we want to continue the day then we can still continue the day. I just think it's getting ridiculous is all.

* The (

!

) means they've voted Taz, or definitively reaffirmed their vote on his slot, since then.

Woah, okay, ninja'd by a vote off Tazaro and onto... AurorusVox. Who now has two votes. You've got to be kidding me.

why does anyone read this guy as town

[Epic]

"guy i'm getting antsy please let's mislynch quicker"

[Epic]

"guy i'm getting antsy please let's mislynch quicker"

There's no other wagon remotely near the Taz one so why would he be getting antsy? I mean sure another wagon can form but eh seems like a stretch.

2 weeks from DL? the timing of it is super awkward

[Epic]

There are way too many posts. There are now up to 5 people being replaced out, and we know at least one of them has asked to be replaced due to the length of the thread.

Replacements aren't fun to deal with. I mean, for a start... they have to read through all of the thread in one go, and I know how hard and brain-frying even 17 pages was. And it's worse in this game than others, because there is such a terrible signal-to-noise ratio.

I think we just need to get into playing the game, and get over the one-liners and the pointlessness and the difficulty of reading. And I believe that that can start to be achieved by moving into N1. After some real stuff happens, then we can talk.

well i'm vigging you so good luck talking with anyone after that
