Paint Mafia! - Game Over!

[T S O]

I got here before the catch-up became untenable.

[T S O]

Someone talk to me about the mechanics of this game for a while. I have some questions I need to clear up about it.

[T S O]

How many colours are there, or is it a binary choice between blue and red, presumably?

[T S O]

Is the revealing of Colours essentially a democratic daycop? Is it possible for roles to exist that can flip blue in this phase, but still be scum?

[T S O]

There's likely at least one third party, and either they or the scumteam have a Godfather-type role.

Delightful. I know all I need to. I'll catch up in a bit.

[T S O]

I kinda feel it's wasted on me? I know other people would like to see me flip blue, but I'd rather just verify myself by lynching scum.

[T S O]

I'm fairly accurate as town - I can't remember my last completed town game where I was particularly off.

[T S O]

When have I been off in the last year or so? I guess maybe Inorganic Chemistry, but that's it, and I pegged both mastin and vezok in LyLo in that game anyway.

[T S O]

I just think that once I flip blue (and it's blue, yes) someone will say "he probably got that gf role tho" and then I still won't really be clear in anyone's minds because of silly paranoia.

[T S O]

I would be playing this a lot better if I was scum. I don't really mind if you flip me, I just think it's unneeded, but if it soothes your paranoia, I'm all for it.

[T S O]

Have we played together excluding Masquerade, DGB?

[T S O]

Just at reading you, dear. Just you.

[T S O]

I'll catch up today. Apologies for my recent absence.

[T S O]

on second thought I'll be doing no catch-up tonight.

[T S O]

I'll catch up tonight, I just didn't feel it last night.

[T S O]

sorry about my activity, irl's hard rn

[T S O]

I will try to catch up - I'm a historically slow starter.

[T S O]

I feel like my colour flip is just going to be pushed day after day until it happens, so it's probably best to get it out of the way now. I have to say, I would be angry with this mechanic if I was scum.

[T S O]

Skybird's entrance wasn't great, didn't really think SW's was either, but basically everyone commented on the former, so that's fine.

[T S O]

Aero could also be scum? My radar feels a bit off here, I guess. It'll solidify later.

[T S O]

If we 100% think someone is scum, don't bother wasting a colour flip on them.

Colour flips are for people we're unsure of.

Think of it as a public Cop - if everyone knows X is scum, is there really any point in inspecting them? Because if you're right, you've basically just wasted it.

Aero looks a bit better, but now Davsto doesn't look great. I could do with getting some townreads.

[T S O]

I don't agree with the post I quoted, by the way. I'm firmly for cflipping people we think are scum.

[T S O]

Well, I'm town.

[T S O]

Alright, so I've decided to actually play this game.

[T S O]

This is the part where I ask you a bunch of questions that seem useless to you. That's because they probably are, but one of them won't be. To me, at least.

[T S O]

Hiplop - sell me on Dav-scum? I'm not particularly townreading him, but a cursory examination of his ISO doesn't scream scum to me either.

[T S O]

TSO I need you where r u

I'm here! But I should be reading this game more than I am currently.

[T S O]

I'm conftown!

[T S O]

goddamn apathy is killlling my desire to play Mafia.

[T S O]

Marquis I will be angry if you are scum this game.

[T S O]

Mainly because you'll probably get such an easy ride. I'm not feeling this game.

[T S O]

I think I'll replace out. Sorry, Cheet. I just don't enjoy Mafia like I used to. When a game can legitimately cause you distress irl, there's kinda a problem.

[T S O]

Bah, I'll stay. Yesterday night wasn't the best time for me.

Acknowledged! Thanks for staying!

VOTE: Awesome

[T S O]

BBT always looks like scum to me, but I don't like this as our lynch. I'd prefer to make this thing die.

[T S O]

It feels like everyone's lurking - town due to apathy, scum because they're happy with this lynch going through.

[T S O]

There's plenty of time to build an Awesome wagon, and I prefer it.

[T S O]

Then vote.

[T S O]

We have a real-life day to do this. Don't dither, just decide.

[T S O]

If BBT is scum, then why has the game been so incredibly dead around the time of his lynch? Why hasn't there been any resistance whatsoever to his impending death?

[T S O]

Also - how exactly do we have two days when the deadline is the 23rd? It's the 23rd in 5 mins here in GMT.

[T S O]

Davsto's vote on BBT is the dirtiest thing I've seen in ages. Why are you aligning yourself with someone who's fairly likely to be scum?

[T S O]

The BBT wagon was started by RC with some really hilarious reasoning. "I've always caught BBT as scum but I've also mislynched him at least once." You lynch BBT a lot, good for you, but I don't see why you would consider yourself particularly accurate.

[T S O]

VOTE: BBT

100% consistent read on BBT. He's scum this game.

lynch please.

Oh boy a 2-shot daycop

VOTE: BBT

Speaking of trash votes, this is another quality example.

[T S O]

BBT could be scum. His play is kinda weak and I could see why people are scumreading him. But literally nobody has objected once to the BBT wagon. There has been no counterwagon or pushback, and this isn't the sort of game where everyone looks town so pushing a cw is too suspicious. Scum were just letting this wagon drift into the noose. There is notably more resistance to the Awesome wagon - this again doesn't make Awesome scum, but it makes them a lot more likely to be than BBT, in my eyes.

[T S O]

Pop that votecount out, Cheet.

[T S O]

I agree that DGB is quite suspect indeed.

[T S O]

Dav, Aristo. Even someone like you. You're questioning the Awesome wagon, and in effect championing the BBT wagon.

[T S O]

Point out to me where someone questioned the BBT wagon once it grew legs.

[T S O]

#936 - Gives the weakest possible townread, weak reason, never backs it up, then produces a double-edged statement that hurts BBT as much as it helps. Votes BBT about 4 pages later. Basically non-existent pressure.

Pisskop - true, pisskop was the one person who disliked the BBT wagon, I'll give you that. But pisskop's main reason for disliking the wagon is actually its lack of resistance. I don't really agree that you can take someone citing the lack of resistance of a wagon as relevant resistance of that wagon.

#1058 - DGB maintained her vote while she said that, so it was completely irrelevant.

[T S O]

Like, those are the only three sets of posts you could find in 10 pages. Two of them are basically irrelevant, one of them I don't feel is fair to use.

In comparison, you have produced more resistance to the Awesome wagon than the rest of the game has to the BBT wagon.

[T S O]

gl guys.
