Told you so.
I like this game. I feel like I'm going to know who the scum is soon - reads are happening faster than is usual for me in a forum mafia game. That's a nice feeling.In post 86, Porochaz wrote:
The vote feels opportunistic to the extreme. Especially following on from what is a line of enquiry, surely an explanation is warranted before placing the vote down.
This pings for reasons I can't really articulate very well. one part defensive, one part nitpicky, one part vagueish accusation. Not feeling it.
I'm not actually 100% sure why the two are voting each other. Nexus is doing it because he didn't like the pressure vote (boo) and also cause he didnt like the feel of prozac's posts in terms of content (yay). Prozac is voting nexus because... he thinks nexus vote is opportunistic (boo) and he thinks he voted too quickly (boo).
I actually like this wagon more, I think.Unvote Vote Prozac. I have no particular read on Inspie, so yeah. Actually kinda curious what ampersand thinks is scummy about him. (ok, checked back - 69 seems fake. I guess so?)
I like Ampersand, CDB and nexus this game so far.(10:50:24 PM) xcaykex: GODDAMNIT I DONT WANNA GET RID OF MY TENTACLE RAPE PORN

Hrm.
I mean, I agree in a sense, it's page 5 - my first reads are only just solidifying. And yet, something about that post strikes me as incongruous - I mean, you were pushing somewhat hard on nexus, iirc?
I'm not thrilled with AV's vote, it's just feels very AVish to come in to a game where you've posted like 3 times and l-1 someone so I'm reticent to draw conclusions as a result.
This post was an experiment in seeing how many long words I could make look natural in one small post.(10:50:24 PM) xcaykex: GODDAMNIT I DONT WANNA GET RID OF MY TENTACLE RAPE PORN

I think I prefer prozac to Avox still, but I am not against an AVox lynch.
I'm not really feeling the inspie votes. Don't get any pings from his posts, felt his interaction with prozac was whatever. He hasn't done anything this game.
Game slowing down really just robbed it of the rhythm, I feel well out of it again ;_;
Observation: I like the hydra cause I like hearing the input of the other person. I don't know if this is just me being silly, but its those comments that are giving me strong town vibes.(10:50:24 PM) xcaykex: GODDAMNIT I DONT WANNA GET RID OF MY TENTACLE RAPE PORN

Hello hito
have we ever actually played mafia together? That is a seriously strange thing to consider but I sort of suspect the answer is no.
Elmo, the comment you made was what prompted me to go look at his posts (also he was under pressure, but that was the direct trigger). Like you said, it's thin. Idk, I can't really picture the scum thought process that leads to the behaviour you're suggesting. OTOH, it makes sense as a coherent thought process in the post - he doesn't really have a reason to be voting poro, so he's just wagoning for the sake of wagoning, and wonders why when the wagon might be going somewhere the guy moves off.
I guess maybe the implication is that it makes sense that he's more focused on interactions involving himself as scum? Rather than any kind of suggestion of shifting suspicion?
Actually i'm gonna leave this here because now I'm even guessing at interpreting whatyouwere trying to say, let alone him. And he can't clarify any more.
Although that said I guess I've convinced myself that it's very slightly scummy?
I still like both other wagons more.(10:50:24 PM) xcaykex: GODDAMNIT I DONT WANNA GET RID OF MY TENTACLE RAPE PORN

Not hammering AV. Some interesting stuff though - weird that he should claim and not reveal what the coded post was about? If he says he can't, then whatever, can't force him. 169 is a clear breadcrumb, the clearest of the bunch - the rest are nowhere near as clear - but agreed with whoever mentioned that there's no particular reason masons can't be scum in this setup. (I do think it's very likely that he is an actual mason.) Regardless, I'm not happy hammering him. Still think prozac's a better lynch.
I'm afraid I'm not going to be around tomorrow, so this vote is final.
Like hito's entry into the game quite a bit. (I had forgotten about that hydra game!) The nexus case is kinda interesting I guess but really the "Swagger tell" thing just reads like nexus being nexus.
I think CDB is slipping into the pattern that happens just before he gives up on a game and has to be replaced.(10:50:24 PM) xcaykex: GODDAMNIT I DONT WANNA GET RID OF MY TENTACLE RAPE PORN

To belatedly reply to hito's shit - the read is accurate. I didn't feel a strong preference. It would not shock me if prozac flipped town too, though I still think he's the most likely scum.
Ok, need to reread I think. Let me get to this properly tomorrow evening.(10:50:24 PM) xcaykex: GODDAMNIT I DONT WANNA GET RID OF MY TENTACLE RAPE PORN

Have reread. Instant gut reactions -
Prozac is still scummy. Primate had a couple of posts that really pinged badly on reread. FenCes very town. CDB has a couple of very town pings on reread.
Details, I guess
CDB looking town:
The initial CDB wagon and his reaction have me a bit skeptical, and CDB deffo gets flustered when wagoned as scum, so I was kinda interested. So I pushed him -
Well, it's irrational, but here's the thought process, more or less:
1) So I say something awkward/recognise that people think I said something awkward
2) Aware that if I say something else awkward, maybe it'll snowball and I'll get lynched (as has happened before)
3) Aware that nothing else is happening in this game right now so people are going to be particularly keen to get things going, looks like that's going to be on me
4) Because nothing else is happening in this game right now, there's not a lot about which I can think other than how people are thinking about me
I mean, ultimately I'm reasonably confident that after a bit of pressure people should realise that I'm town, and of course the game has to start somewhere, but right now the game's set up for me to be very self-conscious, so here I am. I guess this is what early votes are for? It's just more helpful to me when they poke at people whose alignments I don't already know.
I just like this post, I think. The thought process in the last paragraph in particular feels townie - focus on how it helps town.
I also like the way he develops his read on nexus. Felt natural.
FenCes - again, like I said, I really just like the double header giving feedback on internal discussions. The scumhunting somehow looks more genuine that way? Also the part where Fen mentioned she almost did something scummy - I liked that discussion.
Prozac is the scumlord - he gets the initial wagon. I assume this is all jokey votey cause seriously he's being voted for stats.
The issue is that I can't argue with statistics. It also doesn't represent a single game. So it immediately took me out of this game. I can joke about it, but it's a pretty nasty (and unintentional, I presume) way to make me start on the back foot, regardless of alignment. Post 10 shows my feelings in regards to that. After that the game took off, I didn't have a place in those conversations (or that much of an interest). The baseless vote was to get me involved. Which it did.
Find it really off that this makes him flustered - its a joke vote, right? Like, those stats votes weren't serious. Compared to the CDB wagon where it's getting serious and thus the fluster makes a bit of sense. It's also worse because that's not his initial reaction - instead he's just joking around still with random votes n shit - so why would the early wagon make him flustered? It feels incongruous. Similar feeling to the point I raised yesterday. (push nexus, then complain he doesn't have a read on the game - which is it buddy?)
Elmo vote is super off too that demands an explanation. But no one has demanded it. Hey, prozac, I demand you explain!
Um, that leaves Primate -
In post 101, Primate wrote:post post post just need to post I am not loose now this is stressful for some reason
Ampersand is being helpful. I retract my earlier read on CDB as now he's acting self-concious in an honest way and that's good I guess. Nexus seems ballsy and happy so cdbs read is one i share a bit, though his is more grounded in realism.
I get the inspo thing, but I don't think he's been overly town, but then not overly scum either. He's pretty honest so I'd lean town if forced to it, but there's not much there.
re: poro the stats thing was obvious guff so eh, there's nothing in that unless I'm missing something. I think he's been mostly town but I don't have much faith in that read because I've put no time into it.
Amper asked for a vote sovote Shanba. He's probably scum.
I still feel like an observer bye.
I just hate this post. The first sentence is a massive ping for me because that describes basically any game I am scum - appreciate it may be different for different players.
No real read on elmo. I got a distinctly scummy vibe from inspie, was surprised to find myself disagreeing, then more surprised to realise he got repalaced died last night and was town, so that's a thing.
Is nexus actually readable legit question.(10:50:24 PM) xcaykex: GODDAMNIT I DONT WANNA GET RID OF MY TENTACLE RAPE PORN

You generally are the default vote, I think. It's made me hesitant a few times this game.
Still,
Vote: Prozac
I'm not sure what I'm waiting for any more, not voting certainly isn't helping the state of the game progress.(10:50:24 PM) xcaykex: GODDAMNIT I DONT WANNA GET RID OF MY TENTACLE RAPE PORN

Ok, well I guess CDB hasn't confirmed or unconfirmed the claim. Up to him I guess.
I mean, CDB is plenty plausible as a track target from the gleanings of prozac's mind we had yesterday - he's sorta wishy-washy on him a few times, which I think is a good person to target with an info role.
Mafia tracker is one of the cards, I think.
IDK.
Not feeling Elmo or Nexus, and I don't see much point parking my vote on either the claimed power role or the afk guy who's being replaced... I don't see a productive place to vote.(10:50:24 PM) xcaykex: GODDAMNIT I DONT WANNA GET RID OF MY TENTACLE RAPE PORN

I'm not sure what to make of this. On the one hand I hate that he? has nexus as a town read in one post and not even a minute later expresses paranoia on nexus with absolutely no indication why. On the other hand, I know how contradictory I can be when my head and gut are fighting, but I'm not seeing an indication of this fight here, so I don't know why there's a turn around in less than a minute.
If you like CDB, do you not trust his read on nexus?
For point 1, that was deliberate - I thought read him as town, but didn't trust my own read.
And on CDB - no, not espcially. Filtering cdb's read through my own read on cdb doesn't leave an awful lot of certainty. Like, first I have to think cdb is town, then I have to weight that he could be town and wrong, then I have to triangulate his own certainty (which seems high but, you never really know what's going on in someone's head) and only then can you convert that into a read strength for yourself.
Unvote
There was some insightful stuff here, and I always like when someone has the same reaction I did to posts - in particular, the Fenchurch "scummy" post thing.
My strongest scumread now is probably prozac again. Hrm.(10:50:24 PM) xcaykex: GODDAMNIT I DONT WANNA GET RID OF MY TENTACLE RAPE PORN

Well, let's do this properly, I guess
Elmo, what's your current read on me? What's your read on prozac?
Ctrl F my name in nexus' iso found 0 mentions of me
Nexus, what's your current read on me?
Answers by tomorrow would be appreciated, I'd like to have time to claim/lay out final thoughts if necessary. The pace of this game has been pretty bad, but I sorta expected that I guess.(10:50:24 PM) xcaykex: GODDAMNIT I DONT WANNA GET RID OF MY TENTACLE RAPE PORN

I don't think the things you think are contradictory are actually contradictory. I already addressed the only thing you've mentioned?
I'm going to strangle hito after this game, I swear.

Prozac is my strongest scumread, ampersand. I woulda voted Tammy based on primate but I really like the entrance to the game from tammy, it feels really town.
I mean, I guess I could vote one of my nullreads on elmo or nexus. Would you prefer that? I wouldn't, but I'll do it if I must(10:50:24 PM) xcaykex: GODDAMNIT I DONT WANNA GET RID OF MY TENTACLE RAPE PORN

In post 329, Nexus wrote:It's obvious they want to mislynch me. So go ahead and get it done.
I've been reading the game in the sense of keeping up with it, but I've not been engaged. At all. I keep trying, but I can't get in the right mindset. I shouldn't have signed up.
Strange thing to say when they're leading a wagon on me.
Need to think about this.
Full disclosure seems relevant when I'm the most likely lynch, but I had some ampersand pings earlier today that I kept to myself because I still have a fairly strong townread on them from day 1. I don't think I want to lynch them, sorry nex.
I do like the psuh from nex, though, I don't think it makes any sense if he's scum.

That said, you're prolly right

I'm not actually sure enough people are around to secure a lynch on, well, anyone atm.
Shanba hasn't given much by way of case for why Poro is scum.
Sure, fair. I've made a couple posts about it, but it's not a super strong read by any stretch, still.
I don't really value the tracker claim at all and I'm a bit surprised it's shifted you from null to prozac is pro-town (and now you seem to think he's scummy again, so what's up with that?)(10:50:24 PM) xcaykex: GODDAMNIT I DONT WANNA GET RID OF MY TENTACLE RAPE PORN

Whoever we end up lynching today is going to be a horrible lynch lacking in justification with a lot of last minute votes piled on, if indeed we manage to lynch someone.
I prefer to lynch {Prozac}. Though I like his recent posts.
I would be willing to lynch if pushed in the group {Elmo, Ampersand} Maaaaybe tammy on residual primate suspicion and maybe I read him better than I'm reading tammy?
OFC I would hammer anyone to secure a lynch before deadline. Except myself.
P-edit: If Nexus is actually around that would make things easier.
PLEASE READ TOMORROW IF I'M DEAD
If someone avoids getting lynched somehow and we lynch a townie instead there's a chance that we failed to get enough townies online to secure a scumlynch
I wonder if that actually works.
Fuck me my reads are bad this game.(10:50:24 PM) xcaykex: GODDAMNIT I DONT WANNA GET RID OF MY TENTACLE RAPE PORN

In post 378, Nexus wrote:Nexus quite obviously would vote Ampersand, given that who is who he was voting.
Elmo seems like a poor compromise - his inactivity is totally not alignment indicative.
I kinda like lynching lurkers when I don't have strong scumreads. At least you're not losing a VALUABLE player, right? And if you have a lot of townreads and a lot of nullreads chances are the nullreads are scum, so the lurkers as good a lynch as any.
That was the thinking behind the vote.
