DEFCON Mafia 5.0: GAME OVER - NEW AMERICA FORMED

[Merlot]

WOOOOOO LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Merlot]

i read the setup like 3 days ago and then i saw samantha decided to say fuck it and do her own thing and that’s all i’ve seen so far

[Merlot]

skitter does pooky ever lolnuke you of all people?

[Merlot]

skitter can you explain why you think pooky scum other than building up to killing you bc you can just... kill him back with him acting like this if you wanted (which is what he said lmao but they’re my words now)

like what’s the motivation when you can retaliate, that seems like a meh trade for scum pooky to make

[Merlot]

okay i don’t remember if mastina updated her list this much when i played with her but calling the thing the hectic-ydrasse effect has made me laugh harder than it should

[Merlot]

also i’m not reading like half of what she’s posting but that’s a towny way to engage w that sort of dynamic and it’s not like she’s flipped over on it this game to her benefit so that’s a lil towny for her imo

[Merlot]

yeehaw

[Merlot]

joqiza is fairly repping marry’s meta

[Merlot]

also how do i draft a missile silo do i need to pm the mod

i don’t want anything else

[Merlot]

okay so on a skim of marry: +town because i think that she is more likely to be this comfortable as town rather than scum and would more likely be unwilling to be so buddy buddy especially knowing joqiza is in the game, he was like the only one here who knew her meta before i joined and he’s well aware she is a very charismatic/social player so doing something like she is in the absence of friends is more beneficial to her then in this game where i feel she’s just vibing

[Merlot]

also i think joqiza is +town for his reps of marry obvi

[Merlot]

oh also i’m not being subtle w identity this game so i’m ydrasse

[Merlot]

okay i want to kill et al LMAO

they’re so frustrated with pooky but i see no reason for them to be that way like rp gimmicks are annoying but i can actually see them malding over him right now and idgi when they can just missile silo him, like in this setup you are guaranteed a way to kill off someone

let me check something

[Merlot]

okay

so i’m reading reverse and am only on like page 27 or something but if et al thinks pooky is scummy why are they engaging so much with pooky over it? like repeatedly going back and forth instead of trying to get exactly 1 other person to agree with them so they can both nuke pooky tomorrow and nullify the abm on the chance he picks that

[Merlot]

it just seems like they know they can’t convince anyone else atm..? but why not at least try

i guess by confronting him ~directly~ it sows paranoia

[Merlot]

bells town btw

the best answer i can give to this is reasons but i’m locking this in and not looking back

[Merlot]

719 is good, i like the angle shoot theory (someone once told me that town are more likely to angle shoot than mafia are bc they’re trying to use anything they can to win and i’ve found it’s held up over time) and also the fact that it’s not kill all lurkers but pressure them which i’m fine w so far because i’m townreading most of the active people right now

[Merlot]

I am having trouble getting into this game.

I may just lol nuke when nukes are a thing.

god what a mood

[Merlot]

A lot of this has felt like just waiting for nukes and stuff.

I have reads I guess but nothing that I feel passionate about rn and there’s sort of this feeling that it doesn’t really matter yet

THIS IS NOT THE DEASVAIL I KNOW

GO GET EM TIGER

[Merlot]

i actually do feel like this stuff matters tho bc beyond the setup and who gets what like we’re clearly able to scrape some stuff out of all this or at least i feel i have + i have a high opinion of you currently deas from team maf so i really would like to vibe a bit if you’re around later

[Merlot]

okay i need to go now but i’ll be back LATER

[Merlot]

also pooky ASSIGN ME A ROLE

[Merlot]

[Merlot]

joqiza is fairly repping marry’s meta

Appreciate the note of confidence, but a tiny bit surprised just cuz I know you've played with us, but wasn't aware that you'd played much with marry in particular

I think you did articulate what I was trying to say better than I was able to though.

i spectated a lot of games on em before i played the few i did. i didn’t join them for personal reasons nor the spec chats but i kept up with them as they’re a lot of the reason why i’m here playing now

[Merlot]

and while i think marry is exceptionally hard to catch when they is scum their like, overall approach to playing mafia is one that i find very easy to get because we hit a lot of the same chords, so i vibe with how they does it all

when i was reading over i thought “i wonder if people would mistake marry for me tonally” for their fluff and mastina pegged it

[Merlot]

idk if that makes sense but basically i’m holding marrys hand because they’re the only one who ever believed me in and was there for little merlot when no one else believed in my game breaking plan

[Merlot]

ok i’m done waxing my poetic on that i have 10 mins left on my break

[Merlot]

i’m p sure pooky always flips town this game which is a relief because i rarely feel like i can say that and i’m sick of being paranoid about my homies every game

[Merlot]

i’m p sure pooky always flips town this game which is a relief because i rarely feel like i can say that and i’m sick of being paranoid about my homies every game

aka pooky vs et all is never svs for obvious reasons and i scumread et al so swag

[Merlot]

huh

i guess this setup means bussing kinda sucks

[Merlot]

like if you try to bus but there’s a conspicuous lack of nukes mutually when you’re most likely gonna die from it it’s gonna be a ? moment

[Merlot]

so i guess it’s like whoever is taking the power roles are more likely to be bussing and then the people who take missiles are going to be buddying defending more id assume?

i haven’t gotten to the part where people talk about taking roles so this is grain of salt etc but this is a self reminder to look into that stuff when i’m actually on a computer

[Merlot]

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

[Merlot]

i bbl back to work

fuck

[Merlot]

i’m p sure pooky always flips town this game which is a relief because i rarely feel like i can say that and i’m sick of being paranoid about my homies every game

To be clear, this is an independent read, and not based on the fact that you scumread us and don't think we are S/S with him, right?

Can you give us the tl;dr?

-S

it’s both; when i’m home i’ll quote the post that i thought was logically sound from pooky, but in general i don’t think he points out some of the things he does as scum because it backs him into a corner

and your interactions regarding him feel just... i don’t get how they happen if you’re town and pookys scum.

i want to ask, to clarify: how exactly is pooky setting up your slot to get lolnuked? i think that if pooky is scum he’s probably going to go abm after this just to meme you guys tbh and that doesn’t seem connected to what he’s been saying

[Merlot]

I AM

cephrir town

[Merlot]

okay i have to clock back in now goodbye

[Merlot]

the real question is who do you t hi nk is scum vfp!!!!

[Merlot]

Merlot has an icon that is the manifestation of what I have been actively searching for since I first made this account and I am upset

I'm assuming this slot is town for the amount/depth of content at my own peril

okay so i don’t think that we’ve played together that much but when i saw this icon and picked it i actually did think it had your sort of vibe LMAO

[Merlot]

marry you get to direct my vote (1) time this game no questions asked in exchange for circle of trust

[Merlot]

real ones remember when i owned sandbox

p-edit: i love u mastina

[Merlot]

@prism i know ur pride is strong but you can have this icon if u want, it’s actually akali w evelynns glasses, and this is just an alt even if this icon is cool as shit

i can switch off to the MATCHING icon

Spoiler:

[Merlot]

one day you’ll find the promised land

[Merlot]

okay i think caffeine makes me sick but absolutely fucking cracked at solving so do i buy an energy drink after work and see if i die from a heart attack before i nail everyone’s alignments

[Merlot]

is the implication that she’s scum from that orrrr

[Merlot]

I am having trouble getting into this game.

I may just lol nuke when nukes are a thing.

when i saw this i felt it was towny despite the lack of engagement

like ya she’s not participating

do you think titus cops out as scum this way from doing anything?

[Merlot]

i’m peabrain which viewpoint

[Merlot]

yall just out here posting peoples whole lives huh

[Merlot]

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

[Merlot]

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

[Merlot]

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