Mini 1601: B_E's Mind Mafia ABANDIFIED

[beastcharizard]

Elias now has me paranoid so knock them out of the town reads.

Aegor, why do you think it is playstyle?

[NicCage]

Mod: replace me

Sorry guys, I didn't think I'd be this busy.

[Riddleton]

I'm prettt confidebt Elais is town. Not as convinced with Ythill, though.

[beastcharizard]

I think Ythill is scum so I am not trying to say they are town.

[Albert B. Rampage]

Mod: please replace me too.

[beastcharizard]

Really? What the heck is going on? It is like no original person wants to play the game anymore.

[hephaestus]

Not going anywhere!

[T S O]

I'm back and I'll catch up soon.

Beast! It's been too long!

[Ythill]

I am also not going anywhere. This many replacements on D1 is bad for town. Sig/noise ratio is getting even worse.

I'd like to know what you saw in the "game state" that told you "a few other townies" should sheep kid.

I will explain as soon as it's no longer relevant. To address your suspicion, I often find that scum are cooperative rather than obstinate.

At this point, a wagon on me would be as fruitful as one on Riddle. Not going to self vote though, lulz.

@Aegor:

Ready to move that vote off ABR and put it to good use?

[Ythill]

@mod:

xRECKONERx seemed excited about playing a game with me, you might PM him and see if he wants to replace. I'd have done it myself, except for that pesky ongoing games rule.

Eh...I can see that falling into the WIFOM category. I think the idea of withholding info vs sharing info is just a bit more concrete. But my vote's already on you. Not gonna keep on this point for longer than necessary.

@Aegor: It seems to me that his playstyle is involved only insofar as he uses VC's to influence his tells more often than other players might. The choice to not share that information seems to me to be a decision made independent of his style. I have never seen a town benefit from less information, have you?

[Burning_Earth]

looking for replacements

[T S O]

I'm townreading both Riddleton and hephaestus.

[T S O]

If anything, Elias, I'm treating #110 as a towntell. Although I don't say it, when I see my name down under townreads, I get a happy little feeling. The only difference is that heph is just articulating it.

[Riddleton]

TSO

, thoughts on Ythill?

[T S O]

Initially, a strong townread, but he seems to be a mixed bag.

I'd love him to be town because he seems like the sort of player I'd love to work with, but I can't confidently say he -is- town right now.

[T S O]

What do you think of Elias so far, Riddleton?

[Ythill]

I know you weren't asking me but my read on Elias is getting even more townie.

[Riddleton]

I agree that Ythill seems a bit mixed. Some posts of his look very townie but others seem dubious. I don't like that he is holding information back either. Unless it's a top secret covert FBI-style plan, I think you should share. More knowledge is helpful for the town.

I townread Elias, by the way. I agree with a lot of his thoughts and insights in #196.

[T S O]

I, too, don't understand what you saw in Kid A's 3 posts which inspired devotion.

[Ythill]

Riddle wagon seems to be going nowhere, and the only other good option is on me. Sigh. On the bright side, I can answer Elias' questions once this situation dissolves.

Anyone want to pile on dybeck? Or a lurker? If not, fence sitters should feel free to vote me. We can still be friends.

[T S O]

I don't understand why you're so okay with being voted.

I'll admit it's not a scumtell because I cannot find -any- scum motivation in doing it - but I can't find town motivation either. What gives?

[Riddleton]

On the bright side, I can answer Elias' questions once this situation dissolves.

Could you not answer them now?

[Ythill]

Nope. Patience, grasshopper. Or, I suppose, start a wagon that changes the game state.

@TSO:

Vote movement and wagons help catch scum. Ideally, we spend most of the early game with 2-3 big wagons rather than a bunch of votes scattered around. Later, when we have flips to work with, voting patterns can reveal which players knew everyone's alignments.

I'd rather not be lynched, obv, but even if I am, I'd like my wagon to provide info for the rest of you.

Speaking of... would you be willing to vote

someone

?

[Ythill]

Also, TSO's question makes me love my avatar even more.
