Well that was a fast readthrough

Early reads

Thor is town
A50's push on the obviously fake vig claim is so bad it almost has to come from a mime.
Sesq hasn't done anything yet except claim her vote on lane was real in without reasoning
I like GL's catchup posts
Lady Angel isn't a mime
A lot of other null reads from there.

VOTE: Sesq

Not really interested in either of the other "wagons" right now.

IV, it looks like I agree with you on some iteration of scum Almost, but I'm much more sold on mime at this point. Could I interest you in a fancy sesq wagon to generate some content from that slot?

You're right, I could be just overconfident with the read. But the cases that he's pushing are mediocre at best... the fake reaction to the vig "claim", saying he's not going to move his vote on you because he didn't like the way you entered the thread on page 6, the way he tries to emphasize how bad his jester game is in feels like he's distancing himself from the role... don't get me wrong, I want the slot dead as well, but I'd much rather a vig shot at this point.

Thor, I'm a bit confused. You've been pushing lane pretty hard recently, but your vote is still on DT*, and there isn't a whole lot save for a few passing comments about in your ISO to explain that read.

*Who by the way is apparently V/LA until deadline? Come on...

Sorry if I was unclear - I was actually looking for you to explain your DT read in more detail. You've kept your vote on him since page 2 but aside from I hadn't seen much in your ISO to explain the read, and you've been much more focused on lane in your last few posts, which is where my inquiry initially came from. That being said, you ended up clarifying at the end of that post anyways, so thanks for reading my mind :lol:

On that note though, I do disagree that you haven't been pushing Lane. was a response to Lion's townread, but you make comments like "I am honestly left with no idea why anyone would see Lane as town." in and "But then I don't think you're likely to convince me you're scumhunting anytime soon either, so... :lol: " in , and you even just referred to it as your case on him in . It read as more aggressive than you're indicating, but that may just be a play style difference?

To answer your other question:
In post 177, Thor665 wrote:Also, would you vote either Lane or DT over Sesq? I would happily argue that the extent of the case on Sesq could be applied to either of them by simply changing the names, and then I've presented other aspects against both of them in addition to the Sesq case - so wouldn't that make my push on both of them superior to the Sesq one?
I agree that Lane/DT/Sesq are all pretty interchangeable for me right now. Sesq gets more scumpoints for this imo:
In post 90, Sesq wrote:not changing my vote [on lane] because its real this time
In post 166, Sesq wrote:no idea why i kept my vote on lane. this is why i should keep a notes document. dont really see any reason to move it though and no other scum

I don't know how much I see town with this level of apathy towards the game - this is about as empty of a vote as possible.

I'm a little conflicted about a DT wagon at the moment considering he's V/LA for the rest of the day phase according to the Activity Overview page. This bugs me for a few reasons. If he's town, then he's an inactive and scummy looking townie at best, meaning that if he survives the day he would be an easy mislynch wagon to push Day 2. Buuuuuut I also don't want to give him a free pass just because he's not around. At the very least, there are other people around here that would actually be able to respond to pressure votes and I think that would be a much better use of our time considering the slower gamestate right now.

I wouldn't be opposed to a lane vote - looking through his past games he usually seems much more involved and gamesolve-y than I'm seeing at the moment and I am getting some slight buddying vibes from . Buuuuuut I see even less content out of sesq right now, so I'd rather stick here until she gives me a reason to switch.

How do you compare that from Sesq with, for example the nearly identical behavior of Lane who voted me for reasons he can't describe, attacked me for reasons he couldn't support, went back to the non-describable reasons, then hard moved to Sesq in support of your basically unexplained case there?
Are you seriously considering that not even similar to your expressed Sesq issue here?
I don't know where you're getting that from. I specifically said that I was okay with a lane vote because of his lack of activity, and even mentioned that I saw him potentially buddying me with his sesq vote. I just think my vote is better positioned as is at the moment.

Do you have an issue with my vote being on sesq instead of lane right now?

In post 202, Almost50 wrote:Well, you said "scum" this time and ,ost players (including yourself in #167) use that to describe MAFIA and not 3P (Mimes are basically Jesters as you yourself had pointed out), so I had to ask.
Eh, fair point I guess. I was referring to scum in the general sense, just to be clear.
In post 204, Thor665 wrote:I'll note that I just got dinged by Rocky for not describing a case when literally no one had asked me to yet.
I never said that I dinged you. I've been townreading you from the beginning, as I said. My question was originally only meant to dialogue a bit and see why you were still voting DT when it appeared your read on lane was stronger, and it appears that the conversation has spiraled a bit from there so I'm going to try to clear this all up for you.
In post 204, Thor665 wrote:I was being fairly clear I thought - I quoted you describing your primary Sesq suspicion and made a direct compare/contrast of it to Lane's play and asked why one was a primary suspect and the other was kind of a "meh" read by your own words.
It's great that you suspect him, I think you *should* suspect him. What I want to know is why I can't get your vote on him when the case is basically identical to your other case - and the extent of your answer is "my current vote is better positioned" which is nonsense because the best you've argued for that is "pressure to get content" and, frankly, Lane could do with that just as much as Sesq could, so again - what's the point in not moving if asked?
Well, you haven't asked yet. You asked if I would vote lane or DT over sesq, and I said that I would. I then followed up by clarifying why I'm currently voting for sesq, but that didn't mean I was unwilling to vote for lane. All it meant was that at the time of that post I had a stronger read on sesq.
In post 204, Thor665 wrote:
In post 183, RockyHorror wrote:Do you have an issue with my vote being on sesq instead of lane right now?
Clearly I do, I've expressed a case on Lane, have called Lane one of my prime scumreads, and have suggested that the case on Sesq could be applied to Lane (or DT) whole hog.
Do you have an issue that locks you to Sesq so hard that can actually be described?
Again, nothing is "locking me" to sesq. I had her above lane in my scumreads because she had a total of 6 game posts at the time of this post.

Spoiler: every sesq post prior to my 183

aww thanks :) bad thing im not good town

wrt doubting thomas: just because someone makes a joke post does not mean they want to be lynched. maybe they just want to post music lyrics. nobody is that stupidly obvious with their moves... right? i dont know.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, my Bets are on Thaey are just shit Posting

in general there's a problem where people assume people are so much more stupider than they are. nobody is that stupid .... except for me ;P

idk maybe its just me.... i dont think people are inherently logical! maybe im projecting too much again...(×_×)

dt isnt scum. hes just not thinking very hard

not changing my vote because its real this time

why is almost mime not goon

IOW tell me why is goon!A50 significantly less plausible than mime!A50

like i don't think i can believe tells confidently distinguishing between mime and goon. I honestly think those reads are either delusional, heavily exaggerated or scum but I haven't much experience with third party games so prove me wrong i guess?
the sophistry feels intentional instead of unintentional derived from a knowingly faulty premise

it doesnt feel like theres necessarily any presupposition behind it as much as it is just a really dumb thing someone would do to look "scummy" but also is not overblown enough that people would know it was mime
Can you really blame me for wanting to keep a vote on this slot? Lane had at least given the illusion of engaging with the game and trying. Given that sesq specifically said wagons force her to generate content, I can't say that I'm unhappy with the decision.

Look... FMPOV this is a tvt back and forth, Thor. Unless you're townreading sesq (at which point I would really need to know why), there shouldn't be an issue with me pressuring her. We still have over 4 days to deadline - I should be on and fairly active for at least 3 of those days. *Just to clarify again - I don't disagree with your lane read and I'm not against his vote/lynch, but Sesq is a top wagon right now, and I'm okay keeping my vote here.*

Sesq is at L-2. Given the existence of mimes in the setup should we be careful about putting someone at L-1 that could potentially self hammer and end day early?*

*I'm still perfectly fine with the sesq wagon (obviously), I think this is something we should just talk about as a group to reach a consensus.

Unreal Seal has made 2 posts, we're waiting on Lady Angel's replacement, DT hasn't posted since Wednesday - with so much still up in the air and so many contentless slots what's the benefit of ending the day early? We still have 3 days.

@Mod, can you please prod Unreal Seal?


Since you're obviously trying to be king of this town though, please educate me about time management in Mafia.

Why not?
I would lay dollars to doughnuts that at least two scum are in the bottom third least active posters.
That's a fair assessment to make for lurkers, sure. But I disagree that we can in any way sort those slots based on their combined 4 posts. In my opinion there are actually scummy slots in the game that deserve more attention.

Sesq's GL case looks like deflection right now, but neither slot looks great considering they're both basically saying "Well I just haven't tried until now".

More people need to be trying. There are 9 town roles in this game and we have about 5 people posting with any sort of regularity.

Really? Don't see much from Fink, who has spent most of the game doing setup spec and has kept his vote on a slot that has been out of the game for almost a week based on a first page mime claim. Lane has been completely MIA since the sesq wagon started up (RL circumstances withstanding, but even then his content wasn't great while he was here). And then there's you as well.

In post 287, Almost50 wrote:OK, I have yet another "one of those bright ideas" (seems I never run out of them). How about we NO LYNCH? We go into the night with a Vig and a Mafia factional kill and both sides should be shooting for the Mimes. Once a Mime has been shot the other is removed too and it becomes a normal game of Mafia.

The downside is if Mafia decide to hunt for TPRs instead, but that can be dealt with by assigning the kills, and if Mafia do not shoot the proposed target then I'd be alright siding by the Mimes over them (it's like "I came to you first and you refused to cooperate, so it was your choice").

OK, maybe that won't appeal to many of you, but it's a thought that crossed my mind and I had to voice it out just in case.
NGL I absolutely hated this idea when I first read this post.

viewtopic.php?p=3362184#p3362184

This was the last time this setup was run according to the Wiki, this is where they started the NL discussion. The only time town won, they no-lynched the first day to give the mimes a better chance of dying N1. With both of them alive, only one of them needs to be hit by one of the vig/mafia kills for the entire team to be taken from the game. From there they were able to have the vig claim (no fear of being roleblocked with mimes gone) and watcher target them to give town a clear.

I'm willing to entertain the idea at least.

In post 287, Almost50 wrote:OK, I have yet another "one of those bright ideas" (seems I never run out of them). How about we NO LYNCH? We go into the night with a Vig and a Mafia factional kill and both sides should be shooting for the Mimes. Once a Mime has been shot the other is removed too and it becomes a normal game of Mafia.

The downside is if Mafia decide to hunt for TPRs instead, but that can be dealt with by assigning the kills, and if Mafia do not shoot the proposed target then I'd be alright siding by the Mimes over them (it's like "I came to you first and you refused to cooperate, so it was your choice").

OK, maybe that won't appeal to many of you, but it's a thought that crossed my mind and I had to voice it out just in case.
NGL I absolutely hated this idea when I first read this post.

viewtopic.php?p=3362184#p3362184

This was the last time this setup was run according to the Wiki, this is where they started the NL discussion. The only time town won, they no-lynched the first day to give the mimes a better chance of dying N1. With both of them alive, only one of them needs to be hit by one of the vig/mafia kills for the entire team to be taken from the game. From there they were able to have the vig claim (no fear of being roleblocked with mimes gone) and watcher target them to give town a clear.

I'm willing to entertain the idea at least.
Thoughts on this? I'm terrible at running the math on these scenarios so if there's someone that can give the statistics on lynch v no lynch here I'd appreciate it, because just off the top of my head there's a lot of logic with how town played the game last time.

Oh sweet Jesus thank you Jingle for giving me a townread to work with.

Just popping in for a second to say I'm busy but reading and staying mostly caught up. I should be around most of tomorrow and Sunday with more.

oh i should've iso'd you first. but like this to me seems as plausible from goon as mime, like lion said there's too much interchangeable wifom.
Is it so bad is has to come from mime? Or so bad it has to come from scum trying to be like mime? That's where the wifom comes in and you just lynch who you think is not town.
I'm starting to get to this point myself with how much I've gone back and forth between mime and scumreads for some people.

I agree with this assessment tbh. People being afraid to lynch a mime has lead to a pretty generalized apathy among the town. The number of replacements hasn't helped either.

Reading this again this morning, I see that it has a different connotation than intended. I don't mean to imply that you're a sex crazed brainless creation of a mad scientist, only that your name is Rocky and thus you should have a picture of Rocky. :oops: I apologize for any unintended insult
I mean brainless may be a bit of a stretch, but the rest is pretty accurate tbh. No hard feelings :lol:

Okay cool so I'm caught up and feel fairly comfortable doing this.

VOTE: A50

I need to get away from the fear of lynching mimes day 1 mentality and vote my strongest scumread at this point. I'm getting drunk off of the WIFOM.

In post 117, Fink wrote:My argument the other way is that trying to look a bit mime-ish on the first post would seem like a clever move if your role is mafia because of that initial "but what if they are a mime!?!" wifom response, which could help later, while Mimes would be worried about getting that same response. A bit of "but what if MIME" read from early game is good for Mafia avoiding lynches, bad for Mimes wanting to get lynched. It's a small thing, but people go back and look at the first posts of the game all the time.

I think that being afraid of a mime lynch is what caused most of the game to stagnate early on - lane's comment about this being a "careful" game makes sense.

At this point, we only worry about the mimes if we lynch one. Until then, their win condition is just a distraction.

this feels like vig-fishing and empty shade - do you think Thor is lane's mime partner, yes or no?
The vig fishing wasn't intended, though I do see why the post pinged you that way. To answer your question, I'm thinking it's certainly a possibility, though I admit there's a fair bit of WIFOM as to whether a mime would bus as hard as Thor did.

vig being deduced with no guaranteed watch protect is pretty clearly worst case scenario, objectively. vig claiming with watcher protect is far better. so you can disagree with the utility of a vig claim but nothing I said is wrong at all
Yeah, but posting No. Is literally the least letters I have to type to convey the message: "This is an objectively terrible idea and the vig shouldn't claim until I have a chance to explain why."
I agree with this. Vig claim would be horrible right now.

I don't like hypoing right now. It gives way too much information to mafia for pretty little reward as an inno at this point only confirms someone as not being a mime.

That makes much more sense.

Looking off the wagon, I honestly forgot Aristophanes was in the game until now - is it normal for him to do nothing in a game like this?

Because I don't think there is, and would challenge you to prove me wrong.
From the moment I replaced in you were shading me for keeping my vote on sesq when you wanted it on lane instead. The simple explanation of "I find sesq scummier even if you don't" wasn't good enough.

This is the only time you attempted to get me to switch to DT (and even then you offered lane as another alternative), but after this you never actively pushed a lynch for the slot. You said later on he would be an "okay" lynch, but you spent most of the rest of the day tunneling on lane.

I was being fairly clear I thought - I quoted you describing your primary Sesq suspicion and made a direct compare/contrast of it to Lane's play and asked why one was a primary suspect and the other was kind of a "meh" read by your own words.
It's great that you suspect him, I think you *should* suspect him. What I want to know is why I can't get your vote on him when the case is basically identical to your other case - and the extent of your answer is "my current vote is better positioned" which is nonsense because the best you've argued for that is "pressure to get content" and, frankly, Lane could do with that just as much as Sesq could, so again - what's the point in not moving if asked?

You literally quoted me asking you to switch to DT.
You asked me once on page 8. You were trying to get everyone else on lane for the rest of the day.

If you think you were pressuring or pushing DT in any seriousness for a majority of your play yesterday, I don't know what to tell you.
