DEFCON Mafia 5.0: GAME OVER - NEW AMERICA FORMED

[Vaxkiller]

I light town read titus, but I was pretty wrong on VFP, and I was town reading them more than Titus.

I was very right about T3 tho, and had him as a strong town. You dont just get your Bachelors to get that slot, you gotta get a PhD.

[Toogeloo]

we were bouncing sound waves off each other or whatever

Like a radar...?

[Vaxkiller]

I still might nuke IV, but I want to see how nexus flipps.

[Toogeloo]

Yea, toogs as radioactive slag might look good!

Oh, you!

[Toogeloo]

Why do you scumread me?

Wrong side of the VC.

[joqiza]

Vaxkiller- I don't believe vaxkiller asking for robert's role was performative, there's also something else I noticed but I forget what it was lol, I'd have to reread

Time to figure out what the other thing you noticed was @samantha, you mention it multiple times but never actually clarify.

[Vaxkiller]

I could prolly fill you in, lol. But maybe your looking for something from them so I'll be sorta quiet, except for this.

[joqiza]

Ya let's wait to hear what sam had. However Vax can you update me on your current stance w.r.t. IV/Mognet/Prism slot?

[innocentvillager]

fuck

[Titus]

God you're so fucking smug.

If it's smug to flip someone who I townread their entire wagon and would give info if I am wrong is smug, then guilty as charged

[Save The Dragons]

Titus, joqiza, DeasVail, and Cephrir should all eat a nuke imo.

can you flesh out these reads?

[samantha97]

Time to figure out what the other thing you noticed was @samantha, you mention it multiple times but never actually clarify.

that's cause I noticed something when I read his posts and then forgot it even by when I first mentioned it

I've been right about everyone except koto though who was the weakest townread anyway, and I maintain that makes equinox more likely to be mafia

[joqiza]

I believe it's been discussed already, but I have a really, really hard time seeing Equinox paired with the Merlot slot.

Spoiler: Merlot response to Entity

okay holy fuck my hands are shaking and idk why i keep trying to drink caffeine but i feel like i’m dying

Holy fuck shut the fuck up why do you have to fucking post 900 fucking times in a row fucking stop holy fuck

1) why did you quote this post specifically? it’s sandwiched between two “content” posts sans a small like, got to go sort of one because whether or not you think my content is meaningful when you pick out something like that i think that you’re trying to frame /all/ of it as useless when i was catching up — and even then while posting a lot in a row it takes up like, what, one page of posts in a row, two? it doesn’t even bring me close to meeting the people who have the most posts

2) why not just ask me to post less instead of jumping to the conclusion that you’re going to kill me? do you think i’m that unwilling to change how i play?

3) this feels like a bit like team mafia at the start when you were getting annoyed over posting style and throwing it out there to like... be cantankerous and in character, maybe is the way to put it? i don’t know if you feel a need to always project that in games but that’s where my head went

that or it feels mildly like some sort of grudge which like, shrug can’t do much about

i’ll try to post less in the future, sorry

[samantha97]

it's entirely possible they aren't but I think it bled into mafia chat since abandoning your team over an offensive 1 liner from town doesn't seem normal to me (there were 6 hours in between those posts)

[joqiza]

1058 doesn't read like something a mafia member writes to a partner. I read that as her actually trying to figure out the intent behind his post. Aka, why is he picking her out specifically, does he actually SR her, or is it a personal thing. As mafia to his town that's something she needs to decipher in order to play to her win condition.

As much as I dislike hyperposting meta (Ironic for people who know me) if your response to someone having fun is to tell them to shut the fuck up and launch into this condescending tirade about how much worse everything is for it, perhaps you are the one with the unhealthy mindset towards the game. There is not liking a style and finding it detrimental to your experience and there is being a gigantic prick about it.

i miss the days when shitposting wasn't someone's entire personality trait tbh

She writes 1118 and subs out after the above post.

I guess I can see the view that it could all be a case of scum dissonance/infighting, but I don't think it's the more likely explanation, and I think the Entity slot is town, anyway.

[Cephrir]

When I flip town, I hope you turn down your smug bullshit at least one iota.

No one ever does this unfortunately

[Cephrir]

The VCA gods aren't real so I guess nexus has nothing to worry about

It works for Titus and I've seen Titus destroy scumteams (me) a lot with how she approaches the game if she's able to do it. I think if Titus does whats good for Titus that's ultimately good for town. To be honest I don't remember a game where she got everything she wanted and still lost.

I'm not going to get into this

[Cephrir]

Nexus and IV can be

SvS
SvT
TvS

but not TvT

No

[Titus]

Fwiw, my play based nuke would have been samantha97. No strong reason but I feel strong townpings or getting pushback (Entity/Equinox)

[Cephrir]

Dont worry, samantha is not out of the woods on this game day yet

[joqiza]

For transparency, my current pool is Vax/titus/samantha/Toogeloo. Based on PoE, I think that pool + maybe Nexus (who will be resolved) contains both remaining Russians. Hopefully. If there's one outside it's a harder game--if both are outside it's a

much

harder game.

I'm not sure what the time pressure looks like to launch my own missile--I'm fine with going next, but ideally I'd like to wait for Nexus to be resolved. At minimum, if I fire at Titus, I'll be waiting enough time that I can recall if Nexus flips scum.

I think my most controversial read on there is DeasVail (?) Don't think he's a Russian and frankly I think he's just town, as well. I can get into that in a bit. I have some time today so going to write up some other things I've noticed about different slots.

Bell proposed a towncore of himself/gorilla/Church, and I think that seems healthy atm, at least as a not-russian core. So I'd also like to get some feedback from them before I launch.

[Cephrir]

Samantha do you have a real reason for your DV scumread that you've been harping on since page 1 yet?

I have just finished rereading your iso and I am really not impressed

[Titus]

Nexus, what do you think of Samantha?

[Vaxkiller]

I think Vax might be scum.

You don't mention me much except this. What's your current thoughts?
