Mini 1316 - Last Will Mafia IV (Over)

[funkybike1]

VOTE: Malee - right below me in the player list. I randomized the order of my last will, and Alicewondering was last.

Do you know anyone in the player list?

Only Rhinox and 4nxi3ty.

If Malee flips scum, LS becomes scummier.

Why do you think it would make LS scummier?

[funkybike1]

The wonders of Comcast being useless over a weekend... Here's a few of my reads.

To me, it looks like this wagon on

Malee

is sort of forced; there is no relevant reason for her to be scum more than anyone else. LS's argument is based on pandering, which I find not to be a valid scumtell Day 1. However, I respect other people's opinions, and if this behavior continues from Malee, it will be very hard to dig out of the hole she created for herself.

Vincent

, seems to be acting overly townish. I think he's vanilla town (at least for right now).

LS

is leaning town, definitely. I simply don't believe scum would post like that.

4nxi3ty

,... active lurking. No information as of yet.

Hiplop

has contributed to the town's discussion, but I can't get a read of his posts.

Kortul

, I can say, is safely town until proven otherwise.

Rhinox

has changed his behavior from previous games quite a bit, he's played here like a decent townie.

Nachomamma

is scum. I can't see any other possibility.


Nacho, how about you answer your own question?
Post 110: "When you're defending yourself, what other objectives should you have?"

[funkybike1]

Nacho managed to provide a decent explanation for his behavior; I find it believable.

[funkybike1]

Agreed. Also, sloppy play is NOT a scumtell on day 1 when you have no adequate way to defend yourself.

I did not vote Nacho because I was waiting for him to respond to my question.

[funkybike1]

yay funky posted things.

Funky, do you agree with the proposed meta about you (by Rhinox I think) that you enjoy playing more as scum?

Also, why is pandering not legitimate on D1? I think trying to flatter your aggressor would work no matter when it happens during the game. And flattery is definitely a popular scum tactic. People think twice about who they're fighting against if that person calls them townies, compliments their arguments etc.'

Also, Funky, you left out a few people in your reads list. Was that intentional? What are your thoughts on Sleepless Assassin?

In order:

I disagree with that meta entirely; I dislike being scum.

I see pandering as too "obvious" a tell, I think you can't read someone as scum just for pandering.

Yes, it was intentional to leave people out. Sleepless Assassin's last post moves him more towards the town end of the scale.

[funkybike1]

Hip, I find the "yep" a little weird. You basically got called a misguided townie and jumped all over agreeing with it.

Eh, the phrase dream up can have some negative connotation, I don't agree with this, however. Dreamers are what keep the world great.

DDD and Rhinox are scum, imo. Maybe even Nachomama instead of DDD. Nacho is doing what every player who has been "Scum-meta'd" does, "CHANGE THEIR PLAYSTYLE" in heavy air quotes (its more fashionable that way). And quite bluntly, I see a connection between rhinox and nacho. DDD feels independently scummy, some for his lurking, some for his actual posts.

I agree with this, players identified as scum are more likely to make a mistake in dramatically changing their playstyle.

[funkybike1]

Prod dodge.

[funkybike1]

This is a prod dodge.
Being sick sucks.

[funkybike1]

VOTE: Alicewondering - You're giving horrible, inconsistent reads.

[funkybike1]

I am back, hammering if no reply in 12 hours.
