I’m still in the mafia honeymoon period I think therefore p hyped for the game
VOTE: froggodoggo did you get the role of your dreams?
nopeIn post 14, Lucian wrote: By the way, Aisa and froggo, do you have experience playing mafia with each other?
why can't I just be friendly for the sake of being friendly?In post 17, Lucian wrote:Welp. I thought the banter in 12 was between friends or acquaintances, but if not, then it gives a weird pockety, overly-friendly vibe.
froggo is hitting a lot of "awkward scum in the early game" pings.
why vote the IC? seems like a throwaway vote
not a fan of giving locktowns on page 1, is this more of a jokey read? if not can I get reasoning behind the locktowns.In post 16, Aisa wrote:CSF and froggo locktown tbf
i couldn't give you a number but like, a lot. i think all of these "scum pings" just come from me not being used to forum and not knowing anyone here. lemme breatheIn post 32, Lucian wrote:"Taking obvious jokey seriously" now, too.
froggo, how much mafia experience do you have?
I think it's risky and/or careless for a townie to remove people from their POE so early on, I think it's better to keep an open mind until there's at least one flip. obviously this doesn't apply to every circumstance but I don't see a single post here that couldn't possibly be said by scum.In post 33, Klick wrote:Why's that?In post 31, froggodoggo wrote:not a fan of giving locktowns on page 1
not gonna do the exact statistics but it's looking like the most likely ratio is 10/3, then 9/3/1, then 10/2/1, and then 11/2In post 50, furtiveglance wrote:What's the likeliest ratios in the setup? 10/3 and 10/2/1?

IMO the "they seem fine" seems defensive of furtive putting pressure on infinity -- which is contradictory to a 4-vote wagon being normalIn post 59, Cat Scratch Fever wrote:I don't really have a read on you yet.

i dunno. vote infinity with me?In post 64, Cat Scratch Fever wrote:oh yea, furtive's Infinity vote seemed non-random
but if that's the case, then why not say why you're voting them to start a Serious Wagon (TM)?
i don't know what you mean by that. doesn't have to be an RVS vote. i think infinity is sus for saying they want info out of RVS yet they vote a conf townie (no reason to pressure someone who is confirmed) and then put a vote on me without reason (how do you get info out of someone you're not actively interacting with?)In post 66, Cat Scratch Fever wrote:making one RVS vote for another seems like a lateral move tbh
very much so
idk if i can recall them all but here:In post 72, BlueBloodedToffee wrote:Can I ask which games you have read?
I looked at it initially as possibly being paired but I guess you're right that it would be way too obvious of a partner interaction to make so early on.In post 79, furtiveglance wrote: VOTE: Cat Scratch Fever
"They seem fine" on Infinity. That ain't paired. It's T/T or imo, S/T.
My bad. Thoughts on Klick and Infinity?In post 94, Lucian wrote:Just a heads up, you shouldn't be linking this.In post 91, froggodoggo wrote:(ongoing but a fun read)
In post 96, Lucian wrote: Infinity is slightly Townie to me, I think 22 seems like a real thought. Everything else from their ISO seems pretty NAI to me.
I have no opinion on Klick. His position of "well you're the one being awkward!" is one that can come from Town but that also isn't difficult to fake. Nothing in his ISO is difficult to fake, and I'm kind of intrigued by Aisa calling any part of it "analysis".
Aisa, what of Klick's analysis did you like? I'm assuming the post wasn't framed as a joke since it doesn't give such a vibe.
could be coincidence but they also got off my wagon only after others did/started calling me townIn post 67, froggodoggo wrote:i think infinity is sus for saying they want info out of RVS yet they vote a conf townie (no reason to pressure someone who is confirmed) and then put a vote on me without reason (how do you get info out of someone you're not actively interacting with?)

wdym by this? any SRs btw?In post 111, Gamma Emerald wrote:BBT SRing Infinity is old news
It is in the back of my mind. I didn't like lucian calling Klick's page1 push on em boring. Was a weird way to react to pressure and I don't like their current reaction to pressure either -- comes off a lil too aggressive for a solving townie who I think would be more understanding of other people having suspicions, too.In post 128, BlueBloodedToffee wrote:Froggo, I would like you to reevaluate your town read on Lucian.
i have been doing this too. and im town. big town pov from klick. not sure if i want to officially TR them yet. but im getting there!In post 132, Klick wrote: That's a completely valid take; I actively didn't want to elaborate fully because I wanted to keep seeing the observations I was seeing without influencing them or letting Lucian choose to play around them. So yes, I was hesitant to engage heavily there.
PEdit: holy posts
This reads as genuine scum frustration. Frustrated because they took an action (not writing out obvious things) to look townier and it backfired.In post 137, Lucian wrote:I bet if I did write that out, I'd have Klick over here saying "look guys, awkward scum! Writing out things that are plainly obvious!"
phrases like "ok, and?" and "OF COURSE"In post 143, Lucian wrote:Not sure where you get the idea I'm feeling frustrated either
when do you usually differ in regards to your town play and your scum play?In post 143, Lucian wrote:Not to mention that my responses to it would be the same both as scum and as Town.
Ok but we don't know your playstyle, only you do. If ur gonna self meta i say you should go the full mile cuz I can't just take your word every time I think youre scummy and you just say it's NAI.In post 149, Lucian wrote:Probably at any point where you're not attacking me for a playstyle trait that I exhibit as both scum and Town.In post 147, froggodoggo wrote:when do you usually differ in regards to your town play and your scum play?In post 143, Lucian wrote:Not to mention that my responses to it would be the same both as scum and as Town.
not a fan of this. looks to me like an easy way to make Lucian look better without explicitly saying they are town.In post 163, Infinity 324 wrote:zz i used to do this exact same thing as townIn post 159, BlueBloodedToffee wrote:Even if I agree with that premise, I still think that throwing out that town read was scummy.
It was done in a LAMIST attempt. You did this with 2(?) further stating of town reads as well. I noticed a lack of scum reads, which is really where town shine through.

p-edit: aha I have perfect timing
unsure what this is referring to -- dunn can you expand on ur thoughts abt Lucian? I would also like to know what you think about BBT and Aisa.In post 223, Dunnstral wrote:I don't like the way Lucian has responded about their read on Aisa
could've swore I saw this mentioned already earlier but i can't find anything abt it. I also think this would give more info if you asked BBT instead of Lucian but thats probably NAI.In post 240, Cat Scratch Fever wrote: what do you think about the fact that BBT honed in on you for saying people were town on page 1, but not Aisa, who also said people were town on page 1?
we get extremely minimal info from all sheeping the IC. you should know better than to suggest thisIn post 248, furtiveglance wrote:Ok seeing as some people started getting a bit shady towards me I thought I'd lazily pocket the conftown, and suggest we all vote with Hiraki, use them as a Day Vig in a way.
nah that statement was separate. nothing you need to worry abtIn post 250, furtiveglance wrote:Also, froggo, if there are secret reasons you scumread me, I can't really refute those.
i would argue an elimination decided by multiple people bouncing ideas off of each other is far superior than one person choosingIn post 257, Klick wrote:Logically, an elimination decided by 100% town is on average better than an elimination decided by 10/13 or 11/13 town because the decision is entirely made by players with the town win condition. This becomes more obvious the closer to ELo you are, as evidenced by the Not Quite Normal Mtuball game that just finished
I would rather kill u first.
If we started the game only sheeping one person — noIn post 278, Klick wrote:We'd still get plenty of information to solve with tho
Enchant don’t you do it!!In post 290, Gamma Emerald wrote:be aware enchant will hammer if anyone gets to e-1
voting on the same wagon as you is not sheeping you. i would rather kill you than CSF. but i would also rather get a wagon going on a scummy player than on no one.In post 293, furtiveglance wrote:I set a new trend. Unsurprising.
What is surprising is that froggo is straddling scumreading me and sheeping me? Have you got any splinters there froggo, with all that fence sitting?
am I misinterpreting this or are you scumreading furtive for saying SK is purple? (which it totally isn't btw)In post 313, Gamma Emerald wrote:as for this, I'll let Dunn/Enchant (well, really just Dunn!) determine whether more is said.

2) We're both scummy then. Am I bussing, what's going on here?
can you rephrase this part a bit? i'm not understanding your thoughts on CSF. ty!!In post 318, Hiraki wrote:can you help me off of CSF? i didn't vote but i was pretty ready to do so tbh. don't think enchant is a bad idea
after reading, i think enchant is better than CSF. CSF just doesn't have a lot of good posts. BBT was an early game lean scum and has not improved either - it does not help that the sole vote on BBT is CSF but that is an early guess - not a read of both players.
If enchant were to flip right now what information do we get from each alignment? (excluding wagon analysis ofc)In post 330, Lucian wrote:Enchant seems like he has zero interest of playing this game, I think that's scummy. And the IC is also voting there. So why not.
Right but its still minimal info compared to other flipsIn post 332, Lucian wrote:Excluding wagon analysis? Uh, none, nobody has strong enough ties with him one way or another yet. Which is why I'm not advocating for him to "flip right now".
