We were kind of hoping to make a lot of posts of questionable utility. To make up for this, I'd like to request that everyone

Confirm whether or not scum have daytalk without looking at the page one rules

then tell us you aren't lying about having done this. Hopefully we'll get enough townslips here that we don't have to townhunt for the rest of the game and can just make as many jokes as we want while still counting as heroes.

Where's your hydra account Battle Mage.

I almost liked Battle Mage as a person when I thought he wasn't in a hydra. Now I'm sad at the betrayal. You're starting of on my naughty list (personality ranking list not reads list).
I'll post my personality ranking list sometime later in the day when I've confirmed everyone here have actually got personalities.

norwegian why didn't you place an rvs vote

Because i want to just be cute this game.

VOTE: skitter

Just because you opted to spectate rather than play doesn't mean I can't poke you in the nose all the same.

Next up: I think I spotted 5 players who might nor be familiar wih me, but one is in a hydra with 2 players who know me well enough. So, let me introduce myself to the other 4 so we won't misunderstand each other down the road:

I have a bit of an eccentric playstyle, mixing seriousness with stinging sarcasm and sometimes trolling. I also like to meme and post music videos often. Oh, well.. let me kick things off with a song about me (not exactly, as I certainly am not a mother, but you get the idea)

Spoiler:

He also self hammered for ego/bad reasons last time we played with him, but he's not in a hydra so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt here.

daykill:A50

No need to resort to violence

Spoiler:

I mean I've been telling Buttercup this for years, but haven't had any luck. Gl with your try though, but if the

~Buttercup

i dont even know who buttercup is, so signing as that doesnt tell me much anyway

Here's a helpful guide that I put together earlier:

/in as hydra of Hectic, Hopkirk, and Flopz

Confirming Hopkirk.

Now I know what you're all wondering. On our avatar which one is which powerpuff girl? We spent a few hours vigorously debating this. We had to kick EgdufEkac out of the hydra in the end because she insisted that she get to be her overpowered self insert powerpuff girl from her powerpuff girls fanfic. This worked out pretty well in the end since we realized there was a maximum of three heads anyway.

Blossom - The pink/red smart one and the leader of the group. I wanted to go with Bubbles until Flopz started sending me photoshopped fanart of me dressed as Bubbles. Obviously it didn't look anything like me and was super weird, but I really didn't want him to keep sending me more pictures so in the end I just agreed to make him stop. Spoilers - he didn't.

Bubbles - The blue airhead. I'm blonde and have blue eyes so obviously Flopz insisted on being this one. Not a smart move picking the airhead Flopz, feels like the kind of move Bubbles would make tbh.

Buttercup - The green angry tomboy. Flopz wanted to be this one at the start so Hectic knocked most of his teeth out and that pretty much decided things. Hectic broke both of Flopz's kneecaps anyway just to be on the safe side. I for one support this move, mostly because I love my kneecaps.

disappointed by low posting by Ban Hydras so far - 3 ppl but not top poster?

I reckon we could have gotten nine if not for the silly 3 headed hydra rule

im also calling a 200 page day 1.

We managed to haggle for a secret win condition of a 250 page day one with at least 10 replace outs, so you might have a bit more reading to do than you're hoping for.

ugh, i hope not. i miss the days of games which only spanned 20 pages in their entirety.

I assume this is meant to be some kind of joke given you've got twice as many posts as everyone else? If so you should try and make it more obvious that you're joking. Otherwise if you ever make a scumslip as a joke people are going to exile you for it rather than laughing at it like they should.

~Buttercup

-Blossom

No idea if Buttercup was serious, I'd say probably based on the read I have of the player behind the alt, but not 100%. I don't personally have a read on the exchange and just wanted to say the reverse of what Buttercup said because it was so hilarious for me to do that.

dayvig: just blossom, not the hydra

?

Serious post?

sorta? She was calling a nonexistant post scummy so I was just curious why she did it. It seemed more silly than scummy. I'm not sure why you and Mage are up in my grill about it though.

It feels like an odd response to jump onto an obvious joke post as though they were being serious. OP would have known those posts hadn't been written yet (evidence - they're smart enough to type, and it's much more likely someone would make that joke than somehow seriously make the comment despite having the baseline level of intelligence that forming coherent sentences requires purple chainsaw chipmunk). It feels like the kind of busy work attack. Did you think she was serious at the time?

On the other hand, if you don't normally like hectic then a super serious joke hating mindset is understandable, yet I'm still curious where it came from.

-Blossom

[Ban Hydras]

Can I be a hectic alt and play in the same game as a hectic hydra

Look, the mods have been trying to hide this fact, but there's only actual 20 players left who regularly play on mafiascum. The rest of the players in most games are just Hectic alts. Don't worry though, he makes sure to forget each role pm in between posting so it's not unfair or anything.

No i mean from a PT related to this game. While it's ongoing.

Are you claiming yo have a PT

in this game

?

Hold on he has to check with his PT before answering this

We were planning to use a discord voice chat rather than a PT, we're not savages.

Even if it wasn't from the signup thread then I'd post a long jokey rant post in quote tags to keep it distinct, although 99% it'd be in it's own post like my anti-hydra soapbox I thought I'd have time to write pregame but apparently didn't.

Nah put that vote right back on im a pats fan
^I think that answers your question too

i thought we were gonna be fucking friends too god damnit

Woah, let's cool down. It's only page 9. We can all still be friends. Obviously we'll kill all those goddamn scumfucks, but the rest of us can be nice to each other until then.

I agree that Nero comes off worse at a glance, but the whole anti-Hectic mindset means it isn't necessarily scum. Could be town who either doesn't like or get humor.

Whoa, let's not be all aggressive about what people are saying to us old buddy. I'll have you know we've got a lot of wonderful people in this game who attempted the Flopz school for sensitivity training and graduated with top marks. Personally I've been involved in secret birthday parties for my friends, and have over 300 images of happy surprised faces that I can recall to make me feel better whenever I start to feel sad. I'm one of the better huggers in the whole mafiascum community. You mean a lot to me and are a good friend and I will hope you feel happy to an extent Nero's never been on this website, mark my words. You think you can say mean things to people online? Think again friend, I've got hundreds of buddies who'll be really sad if you don't feel really good really soon. You're great and alive and experienced in the art of being a nice person and a friend. I can be anywhere, anytime, and know over seven hundred forms of hug, and that's just with my bear arms. I'm extensively training in complimenting people, and have Flopz here to bring you up if you're feeling down. I'm really glad you made that super 'clever' comment because it signaled to us just how bad you were feeling and I'm really glad we're going to be able to cheer you up in response. Make sure you let all your friends know if you're ever going through a tough time, because if you didn't you might pay the price you goddamn great guy. I will send my best wishes and drown you in kindness. You're fucking dead kiddo.

If you ever need anyone to identify Hectic i'm your guy.

Whoa, I'm taking this as a personal attack (and it's making me almost tear up, wow). I'm great at Hectic identification. Back when he had two alts instead of twenty to thirty I managed to narrow it down to three possible candidates form a pool of two hundredish (not sure why I spent so long on that, but it's still evidence of my good Hectic-hunting skills).

There’s nothing on page 3.

Nowehere, I would have commented on it if I saw a scumslip. Although come to think of it I've seen more 'scumslips' from town than from scum so maybe scumslips are actually town indicative.

[Ban Hydras]

Making fifty posts in an hour is harder than it sounds. Phew.

Maybe Morning meant a fifty page irl day one. We're shooting for it, yay.

-Blossom

[Ban Hydras]

We are all actually just chatbots to make Hectic feel less lonely.

It's a little late in the day for existential dread, please hold off until the mornings, that's when I like it most

~Buttercup

[Ban Hydras]

It felt like it kind of yeah. Jumping on doesn't have to necessarily be an attack so much as a 'look at me I'm doing stuff'. Not that that's inherently bad to answer your likely follow up of 'oh, so you don't think there's other stuff I could be saying in thread, pls Hop'.

So what are your thoughts on humor and Hectic and Taylor in general.

Firstly I think your take is super bad. What should I have been talking about on p4 that was so important that I shouldn't have pointed out a wierd post from Taylor? From my pov the only thing of substance was the mini wagon on Mage and his scum read on DS.. And I commented on that in 27 . I wasn't a fan of Vecna calling that "try hard" and throwing shade when I'm *gasp*

PLAYING THE GAME!

Its like he's trying to shut down content and wanted me to be a fluffy little troll. So yes, I don't think there was anything worth commenting on from p2 and 3.

Well, Taylor is clearly a gimmick alt. nothing they've said has been particularly great or bad so im null here. I don't

get

45 wich is why I asked about it. Hectic is a troll. Anyone that says he's is a big fat liar. I mean, he may believe that trolling and doing some kind of slayers gambit might be good play or something but my opinion is that he's a troll and doesn't particularly add much to a game. Humor is fine to an extent. I like seeing more posting and its generally good for town but getting this 150-200 page d1 that are mostly fluff and devoid of much content is both bad for the town and not as funny as ppl think they are. Although I'm a hypocrite b/c when I joke I think its dunny but think most others are just annoying.

It's fine to comment on it, but your response read as 'I don't realize this is a joke' since you were taking it super seriously. Again, as I said in the post you quoted, I don't care about the content of the post or your response to it, more how/whether you took it seriously. Taking it seriously indicates a

weird

headspace in how you're approaching the game and I'm not going to understand any of your perspectives until I understand that viewpoint that I currently can't get.

Hectic has a very good win rate and is a great player based on the hundreds of irl game I've seen him play. I think you're letting your dislike for joking around cloud you on his amazingness.

You uh... you think my joking around is funny... right?

-Blossom

Nero's attack on Hectic feels weird and based on bad grounding. Has he made this at you or played with you much in previous games @Buttercup?

~Buttercup

[Ban Hydras]

It's certainly better than the "Giggling" one. That one gives me nightmares.

Guys, anyone that uses THAT "thing" as an emoji regurarly cannot be human. Nor a good member from town.

"guys" to appeal to majority? whoops, a scumslip this early mon ami?

Is it time for the first inter-hydra toxic 1v1?

Blossom and I were planning to have one tomorrow, so can you wait for us so we can have them parallel

~Buttercup

[Ban Hydras]

Oh, just you wait until Flopz "the guy who waits at the bus stopz" gets here. He's probably the most prolific hyperposter this site has ever seen. I fear for everyone here

~Buttercup

[Ban Hydras]

but Vecna knows that I play the game so Vecna calling my post try hard doesn't seem to make sense from a town Vecna mindset. I'm not saying that I made 27 with the intention of halting RJVS but me throwing out actual game content and Vecna going "GAME CONTENT BAD!" does seems to serve the purpose of wanting us to stay in a fluff contenless game, no?

I like your idea here-- yeah, you were giving out game content and I can follow that Vecna might be trying to punish that. I don't think Vecna is scum for it yet but I do think you're arguing this from a good place

if taylor is a gimmick alt they've been using it a lot.
I'm gently leaning towards a town!nero atm. If he was scum I think he'd have ducked and hid from the early SR's on him. He's also going against the grain/gamestate a bit imo with the anti-hectic feels.

She's not an alt. i'm like 90% sure

definitely a gimmick though. I've figured out the pattern and she's really easy to read now for me.

Please refrain from using the giggling emoji

~Buttercup

[Ban Hydras]

Nero not getting jokes and pushing them definitely isn't town-indicative, or do you have other reasoning for calling him town, Morning?

~Buttercup

[Ban Hydras]

I was considering advancing the gamestate but realized I had homework can I just get my townpoints anyways

Townbinning this

~Buttercup

[Ban Hydras]

@Plus: What did you mean he was going against the grain on me? No one had said they liked me alignment-wise. Based on the very brief meta I've done on Nero in past games, he's a little less combative and mad in general as scum. I know town!him hates fluff and jokes so it might be TI, I can see that. I haven't liked any of his reasoning so far though, like the questioning on Tayl0r

~Buttercup

[Ban Hydras]

taylor isn't a gimmick alt.
I do think nero is just making themselves LHF, probably not on purpose. The "stop with the fluff and you guys arent funny D:<" isn't something that seems like it'd come from scum. When you make people upset at you they're probably more likely to vote you.

@Hectic, you said you've played with nero. Do you think my thinking on nero has any merit or does nero play like that as either alignment?

I'm not sure you're right on Taylor.

On the more important question of Nero - I'm wondering whether he normally plays so serious at the start? His vibe just felt a little outta step ya know? nothing tangible though

I am sure PlusJOYED is right on Tayl0r

~Buttercup

oi, i was putting you over earlier as being generally nice!

She's solely joked around so far, which is NAI

i am in favour of using an avatar

I don't buy this story one bit. Plot is good and I can see potential for a movie adaptation, but it demands far too much suspension of disbelief in its current state.

~Buttercup

[Ban Hydras]

Nero not getting jokes and pushing them definitely isn't town-indicative, or do you have other reasoning for calling him town, Morning?

I was never ever pushing taylor

Oh, you only questioned her once. For some reason it was inflated in my mind

~Buttercup

[Ban Hydras]

what do you want to see from her to help sort her slot?

She'll give reads eventually, I'll sort her on those

~Buttercup

I think this is unlikely. She'll just tunnel me without giving a reason until she flips, as that's her gimmick.

Assuming I'm right, how do you propose to sort her?

She's not a gimmick account. Could you explain your history together? It seems relevant to understanding what you're talking about here. She's had multiple reads and not solely tunneled on one person in the games I've played with her.

~Buttercup

[Ban Hydras]

I also wasn't even pushing hectic. I mean I do think they are a little scummy since one of the heads is lying about me pushing taylor and I think their "but u asked Taylor why they made a post. so it looks like u were being busy." is a hilariously bad take.

322 is not saying that. no misreps please

~Buttercup

i thought everyone liked you (not alignment wise). At least I do

I like you too

I have been effectively pocketed and forgotten what we were talking about

~Buttercup

[Ban Hydras]

I think it's sufficient to talk hypothetically - if I'm proven wrong, I'll be pleasantly surprised and you'll have been mildly inconvenienced. If I'm right, it'll be helpful to me in sorting you, to see if you stay true to your proposed plan to evaluate her slot.

My proposed plan to evaluating her slot is to let her post and then read her just like any other slot in the game. She's not the only one 100% joking around in RVS

~Buttercup

[Ban Hydras]

big fat ol' pile of dead-null (I realize this pool is too big, I want help in sorting that area)

I gotchu Im town so you can move me up there instead of the player with 0 posts

Why are you claiming so early and unprompted?

~Buttercup

[Ban Hydras]

i asked why you made that post. Its not harpng. Its only a think b/c ppl keep asking me about it so it keeps getting brought up. I've never once called you scum.

Nero, it's not cool that you pushed and called Tayl0r scum. You're still going on about it now, even.

There is no way Titus writes this and doesn't think "Everyone is going to want to kill me after this." she's practically asking to be voted! i'm confused how to interpret it, other than noting this must just be how she tends to talk i suppose. Really confident even if it sounds super bad

Pretty sure she's joking since she had no posts when mastina locktowned her

~Buttercup

[Ban Hydras]

Why, isn’t it little ol me, back from perry. Why you all look like a feathered whisper of a crew, a real hoot and a half.

this is probably scum tbh

I’d be posting way more if I were scum here, Menalque. Go check Animal U pick. I’ve read like nothing of this game. Bad time for me to have it start. I’m tryin to catch up.

You hard lurk and then post later as scum too, and we both know it, Aprilino. it's NAI

~Buttercup

[Ban Hydras]

go on then. deathtunneling you if it isn't good

~Buttercup

[Ban Hydras]

I thought she was saying we shouldn't kill her because mastina/her were destined to solve each other in a couple of days, therefore we should take her as town for now. Which to be fair, I am not opposed to strategies like that especially when it's d1/d2 of a huge game. But the delivery ("I'm town. Deal with it.") just looked bad

you are correct, I glossed over the context. I can get behind it being slightly towny for how brazen and sus it looks.

Although me thinking he’s town does probably increase the odds of him really being scum so

I liked these takes, old chum. Slightly harder to fake as scum.

Otherwise, I want to say your openwolfing is town-indicative, because in the 2 scumgames I've seen you in, I haven't seen it done (although those were alts so maybe different playstyle etcetc)

NorwegianboyEE, what are your thoughts on Gamma and Menalque?

Mena's push on Gamma doesn't seem like buddy/buddy but it's aggressive. I'm townleaning Mena's aggressiveness as that's more their town style. Gamma looks nullscum to me, and it's a growing wagon so i'm interested to see where it will be going.

Why not hop on? There's an open seat.

Hop(kirk) already is on. He's a part of this hydra (Ban Hydras), and we voted Gamma ages ago.

Hmm

I'm not sure my new lazy playstyle is gonna work so well with large themes

I think I'm gonna need to parse everyone at the weekend

HOWEVER
VOTE: Menalque

You see, I came here from the ToS Forum Mafia section. For about a year I played Mafia on that forum, and by the end I was without a doubt the most skilled active player there. Eventually the disparity was so vast that I had to be banned to keep things fair for the rest of the players (officially it was for abrasiveness, as many of their players suffer from SSS and my personality conflicted with that).

Anyway, I always claim day one (and yes it was serious, for those that didn't understand that), and press others for their claims. I do this for the purpose of analyzing the behavior of others to determine if they are scum or town. Already I'm picking apart your posts and those of others for a level of analysis that is probably higher than you could comprehend.

If you don't have a solve by the time I've reached page 40 then you go down in my estimate from 'probably a good' to 'all smoke & ego - not worth listening to'. This is going to be interesting to see.

i feel like copypasta is the sort of low-grade shitposting that mostly comes from scum. uncluttered town minds do not require plagiarism to shitpost at the highest levels.

I'm sorry Norway but I agree it wasn't your best copypasta.

I have such a hard time with Norwee.

These two posts so close together show he's really thinking about the game I think or at least Mastina. But he hasn't omgussed yet, which worries me.

Great post.
Pickaxe Pete town.

This doesn't strike me as enough to justify a good townread.

Making fifty posts in an hour is harder than it sounds. Phew.

~Butterup

We all care about you Diamond. Please

wake up

.

Fun fact: readslists are something that people think I do as either alignment but which I actually have a strong tendency to, in general, not actually make them as scum.

If there's one thing I can't stand on this site it's people metaing themselves

Actually add to that the "self-indulgent valueless meta dive" on other players filled with names of ppl I don't know and game info I don't care about

Can I get some thoughts from you on your own meta?

motifs of the series:
assignment of roles to town by mafia; heavy information to mafia; night actions being determined by events (e.g., two players are assigned to collaboratively use a doctor ability); normal roles or otherwise non-flashy roles; uncertain guilties vs. certain innocents; setup fake-outs; vanilla by any other name tastes just as sweet.

Why are you even asking for more info Bell? Surely this is as much as we're going to get? This strikes me as LAMISTy, like either you'd assume that the comment about mafia assigning roles isn't serious if you hadn't already read the setup, or you'd have read the setup and know we're not just going to get extra info by asking for it?

Locktown, locktown-candidates (not quite locktown but very very strong townreads I'm considering bumping up to locktown), strong town, weak town, nulltown (with heavy ambivalence), dead-null, nullscum, ambivalent-nullscum (this might take some explaining, it's basically a category where when I think of them in one side they'd be above the nullscum as either null or even nulltown, but when I think of them on the other side they're below nullscum in lean scum and they do go between those extremes), and scum.

This is a perhaps better illustration of the readslist--Morning Mage and Ban Hydras in their townier moments are up there, Morning Mage and Ban Hydras in their less-townie moments are down there, and the read is highly ambivalent between the two extremes. (There's no middle ground. Just one, or the other.)

What are those townier/less towny moments, I thought you said it was just all null?

Interesting Maneuver.

Buttercup is Hectic.

Yes

disappointed by low posting by Ban Hydras so far - 3 ppl but not top poster?

jfc I hate all you top posters for egging each other on to create this abomination of a game
I will have words with the vig if they do not shoot primarily in the top posters

@Nero I'm just now starting to read, I've put this game off until now in dread of the massive size.

You should compete with us for top poster

Hi, Hello, Howdy, Hollah, Hey, How's it hanging, howdy-doo. Heyah. Sorry I could only think of eight greetings, the other fourteen of you will have to go ungreeted. If you want to fight amongst yourselves to work out who each h based greeting was for then I won't stop you.

-Blossom

well this head is obv hopkirk
way easier to sort than the last PPG hydra I played with

Hey

Woah, let's cool down. It's only page 9. We can all still be friends. Obviously we'll kill all those goddamn scumfucks, but the rest of us can be nice to each other until then.

Be nice to the scumfucks too. Just because they're criminal scum doesn't make them actual horrible people #notallscum

What?!!
Only good scum is a dead scum.
#No-Compassion

Ouch post.

made me want to lynch him so....IT DID!

Has Hopkirk been on? He was busy light pushing me and then seemed to stop? or maybe he hasn't been on. Admittingly I am skimming ban hydras posts.

It's ok to admit you don't understand nuance Nero.

can i get away with not reading the last ten pages?

You're town so yeah, that's fine. Just coast to endgame if you want.

-Blossom

[Ban Hydras]

I'm still down to lynch the hydras

Can you please stop reminding people's there's goshdang hydras in the game. It just makes me ill whenever I think about their existence.

Tempted to say we should unironically quicklaunch Gamma. Him ignoring my vote or Nero's declaration that he's scum while catching up is also scum-indicative.

Also, don't get scared by how quickly the wagon is growing. Scum are gonna want the sweet sweet buscred for this.

This is very reasonable.

Okay, I'm bringing him in now

See what I mean?

can someone walk me through the gamma wagon? it seems half meme and half VCA around early wagons... i dont understand.

Why are you not just reading Buttercup's posts on the matter?

I see this is the coolkid wagon.

I don't highly scumread Gamma, but they haven't really towntold.

@PPG arguing with Nero is like arguing with a brick wall - he will debatelord you over technicalities in what was/wasn't said and not really address the main substance/sentiment, then you will get bogged down in those technicalities and end up with 8 pages of uselessness. If you don't think he's scum I wouldn't bother

Don't worry, I've sorted him so I don't need to read his posts anymore.

12 pages overnight
remeber when someone said this day will be around 50 pages? lol

Who said that? That's not how large themes work

This is particularly awful though. There are still people shitposting or just posting quotes with no actual content in it (or repeating themselves 5 or 10 times). 1k posts in 3 irl days is fucking ridiculous.

Oh, actual content, too. I really don't see Gamma!scum this game. At least not right now. Ban Hydras is my biggest scumread, followed closely by April and Echo, with SuperBowl being a decently solid null!scum.

Rage about postcounts being high feels scummy and this doesn't even feel like real rage. Bad reads too.

Fuck it. VOTE: Echo

This ISO is pissing me off.

[Ban Hydras]

Can I get some thoughts from you on your own meta?

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand my meta. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical WIFOM most of the jokes will go over a typical reader's head. There's also my scumgame's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into its characterisation- my personal philosophy draws heavily from Isis's literature, for instance. The mods understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these reads, to realise that they're not just accurate- they say something deep about MAFIA. As a consequence people who dislike my meta truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in my existential catchphrase "I hate VCA" which itself is a cryptic reference to Hectic's Russian epic "Cops and Fruit Vendors". I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as my genius wit unfolds itself on their mafblack themes. What fools.. how I pity them.

And yes, by the way, i DO have a self-meta tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that their postcount is within 5 of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid

Actually can I get your thoughts on who's town first Superbowl? Happy to have some super happy fun afterwards.

I shouldn't have to ask people to make content.

I make plenty of content. I would challenge you to show me how you've helped move this game forward more than I have. If you don't understand why I'm taking a certain approach I'm happy to explain it to you unless doing so would hurt town. But saying that I don't explain why I do what I do is different from saying I'm not doing anything at all.

Never said I have. But the fact remains that you have over 6x my posts and yet I've contributed almost as much as you have.

Can you make like a 500 word rage post expressing why you're mad with us? That will help me read you.

Guttown so far. Like his Nero read + his weird Bell read looks fake but the kind of feeling he's picking up on is harder to pick up (or fabricate picking up as scum), since you're just gonna assume Bell is genuine about it as scum.

Anyway, I'm tired. Calling it a very early night tonight. Tell Pickaxe Pete and Diamond I love them.

We shouldn't use mean language that makes people feel bad because then we're the

meanies

and being a meanie is nasty and might make people feel sad.

-Blossom

I’ll start by defining mean:
“ the value obtained by dividing the sum of several quantities by their number; an average.”

Diamond is going to hate us for this, but hopefully he warms up and becomes a more fun loving, chill person and forgives us eventually.

Webster's dictionary defines 'mean' as: 'to have in the mind as a purpose'.

As I said before, we shouldn't use language which has in the mind as a purpose that makes people feel bad because then we're the people who have in the mind as a purpose to be the people who have in a mind as a purpose and that might make people feel sad.

The entomology of the word is interesting, but from the absolute mess of a sentence that creates from replacing the word 'mean' with it's true definition we can start to see why the word 'mean' took on negative connotations over time - it makes things messy and bad and generally just less fun to engage with. Let's review what I said earlier but just taking 'mean' to be defined as

BAD

. I'm going to use this shade of pink/purple instead of the actual word because I think it gets the message across better.

We shouldn't use

language

that makes people feel bad because then we're

the

and being a

(sentiment)

is nasty and might make people feel sad.

That's looking a bit better, but I think we can simplify this a bit. Let's change anything negative that's negative because of being objectively a bad concept rather than just being

messy and confusing

like the other word we were talking about. We'll use

this

here.

We shouldn't use

language

that makes people

feel

because then

we're the

and th

at's

and might

make people feel

.

Let's trim that down a bit because atm it's a bit too personal with the we

and instead get something more objective

. We'll also remove the words

that come across as

due to redactions (i.e. ') That leaves us with:

Preface

Concept A

-->

(emotional output (base))

>

(concept B)

->

(emotion output B)

why would you not just post this in your pt

If you do mean the first bit, because I wanted the whole thread to get my reads, not just the hydra. I feel like if I never posted my reads then people would complain I'm not posting reads so don't see an issue here.

If you mean the second part I just like talking it out in thread (and Hectic wants to sleep now). If you look care enough to check then look for @Hectic posted by me in Hoptic 's post history you'll see I do it as town so it's NAI at worst.

What do you mean?

Drunk Hopkirk getting angry with townies with bad reads is a good towntell on Hopkirk. Anything like that on drunk Titus?

-Blossom

[Ban Hydras]

@Blossom: Thoughts on night killing Nero? Most have established him as town because of meta, and he's probably gonna continue to stubbornly dislike us.

I could be convinced to go Flopz instead.

~Buttercup

[Ban Hydras]

Nero seems fairly townie and we can paint him as a bad person if we keep being nice to him instead of doing meanie things like night killing him. If we don't kill him in the night and stop the other townies killing him in the day then he'll have to play what, eight days with us? At that point we'll have easily cleared 1000 posts and by then I'm sure we'll have converted him with the power of hugs and niceness

Flopz isn't posting but he's a great guy and I'm sure he's just busy. Really looking forward to you posting pal

Which players in the game are you saying are bad enough at mafia to think 'oh, Ban Hydras posted some of their reads, they must be town huh huh'.

I believe you I just think here it means your scum. There are some other small things about your play too but its hard to explain.
At any rate I think this is bearing fruit even if you flip town. I strongly suspect scum will hop on this too

Just like... literally any wagon we could do? Pretty lazy. You also pivoted away from 'specific reason' to 'general unspecified reasons' when called out on your justification which is fairly common from scum (basing this on irl exp because haven't played a lot of forum lately tbh)

Gamma's a TOWN lean based on page 37.
*Scratching chin in confusion*

Can I get a bit more on this.

at least with power puff elim that's 3 less posters to have to sort

Imagine just straight up admitting to being bad at the game like this.

Says the guy posting during the twenty somethingth page of RVS.

Did I claim I was NOT a masochist??

Feel better about Gamma being scum since we're being picked as the designated counterwagon. Also, all the people who're voting us are doing so because "BLOATING THE THREAD" or "HYDRAS BAD" - agree with this one tbh, but yeah reasons are garbage so a few of the votes are probably scum motivated.

Town or scum fake claiming in your opinion?

I've seen town!Almost do this sort of thing, but never scum!Almost, so it's slightly town-indicative. If he's actually a Miller Mason, he should've claimed the Miller part on its own at the start of the game, and I think scum!him would know fakeclaiming Miller could look scummy, even as a joke. Slightly towny.

~Buttercup

[Ban Hydras]

VOTE: ban hydras

this slot is making it difficult to play and it feels like they're doing this deliberately. can you block one player's posts and read the thread? kinda like an opposite iso?

Skimming over our posts would work, but I'd like to hear what about us is making it difficult to play? There's plenty of single account players who'd have more posts than us by this point, and only about 1/3 of what I'm posting is outright jokes. Even if you just skimmed our posts then let your other townreads read us then you'd have a fairly easy solution.

Also, the passive agreesive garbage here doesn't help. If you aren't specific about what you don't like then it's literally just you complaining and doesn't help anyone or change anything. If you have a problem then hey, tell us what the actual problem you have with us is and be specific.

ok i got through page 10 but I don't want to read anymore

people posting updates on what page(s) they have read is the most suspicious thing to me

it clogs threads with incomplete/useless information and creates an illusion of productivity

See now this is the kind of think you could meta someone for if you want to know whether or not it's scum or town indicative for the player. Like, you can get objective evidence either way of this so why not give it a go?

ban hydra could be scum that is bloating up the thread (I agree with GP and feel better about them now)

Can you define the bloat part- is this something different to half of our stuff being jokes? We have more serious content than most people in this thread and you clearly know Hectic is going to meme post as either alignment so I don't get how you reach the conclusion of 'lots of posts > scum' here. I don't scumread you for it, I want to understand it because your approach doesn't feel like it's leading to good reads for you.

The mod allowed the hydras if you didn’t want to play with them. Why did you join?

cause I can

Are u just fake crapping on the hydra because it gives scum you something to do

I'm real crapping on them for spamming 50 pages

I honestly can't understand how

you

think you have the positiion to criticise anyone's playstyle. I'll try and write a long piece later, if i have time, about why Christopher is a hypocrite/not a good person to play with.

-Blossom

[Ban Hydras]

^You could argue this is scummy

I think it's townie. Nero was the first to start complaining and 'I don't like it when people post jokes and I'm going to rail on this forever' is a hill I don't think scum picks to die on.

im null on norwee atm. My attention has been kinda focused elsewhere; I'm not even gonna try to pay attention to every single slot. that's the problem with a huge plist.
I prefer a power puff elim over battle mage elim. I actually want a hydra elim today though.

(This does add fuel to my fire in thinking that Plus-Gamma-Bell-Norwegian-MorningMage has a reasonably high chance of containing at least 3, probably at least four, scum. Maybe not all five are scum, heck maybe two are town, but I do think that those five names contain a minimum of 3 scum, probably more, right now.)

This is a very good POE.

I didn't want to have to do this, but Nero didn't leave me much choice tbh. Here's the game where NERO made over

1700

posts. Honestly complaining about other people posting a lot after that is just embarrassing, I feel kind of sorry for your absolute lack of self awareness. : viewtopic.php?f=56&t=70415&user_select[]=12589

-Blossom

[Ban Hydras]

The odds of that happenening are 1 in / 23 -2 (outed "3p masons") -1 (cop won't check themselves).

it's less than that because of the lynch too, and cops wouldn't operate in a vacuum where each person has an equal chance of being investigated

it also leaves room for an errant vigilante if there is one of those as well

The easy solution to this is for vigs/cops to work in the public masons POE.

Menalaque should know their take is terrible.

err, why?

Unless you're VERY confident on them being scum then eliminating them is objectivly dumb. If we vote one off then the next dies at night (and the last is possibly left unconfirmed depending on whether the hammer is a quickhammer or not) we used our vote to lose 2 confirmed town (and a 3 person masonary is likely going to be a material part of our prs).

If you are very confident on them being scum then hard push for them to reveal the third, then factor it in looking for interactions between the three of them to decide if they are all groupscum that claimed it rather than going 'I want to kill one now'. Sure, you didn't outright say you wanted to kill one right now so this could be your intention anyway, but it'd like you to spell out your thought process on it whether it is this or something else.

-Blossom

[Ban Hydras]

To clarify objectively bad, I mean weighing up the benefit of them if town vs the likelihood of them being town/scum.

-Blossom

[Ban Hydras]

I should probably get back to excel now.

Can you define the bloat part- is this something different to half of our stuff being jokes?

but yeah, no different. Being fluff always has and always will be seen as scummy. I'm far from the only one on this site that's going to find fluffiness scummy. Its kinda silly and fake sounding that someone would think your slot is scummy.

Can you rephrase the second sentence, it currently reads as 'it's fake sounding for someone to think BH is scummy' which I'm fairly sure isn't your view.

-Blossom

Can you confirm once more your strong disagreement with this course of action

Absolutely.
If you voted Titus I wouldn't instavote you because you're enough of a troll to vote locktown reads of mine even as town.

But if there were a gladiate between you and Titus, I would lynch you 200% of the time here. I wouldn't be happy doing it because I believe you're town--but in a contest between the townitude of you and Titus, Titus wins by a landslide. She's never getting lynched as long as I live.

Aloha all

I've seen a lot of mean words being used and would like to explain to people about the problem with using these words, with special focus on one particular word which has been, rightly so, recognised by all as being incredibly problematic. Due to the sensitive nature of this post, I would like to prefix that I am a person of colour and this post is being written in reference to my own lived experiences.

I am of course talking about "lynch", a word steeped in racism, sexism, homophobia and transphobia. Etymologically, the specific origins of lynch is not 100% known but it is commonly believed that it originated during the American Revolution through the phrase "Lynch Law", a term for a punishment without trial. The most likely source of the word is from a Charles Lynch, a Virginia Quaker, planter and American Revolutionary who headed a county court in Virginia which imprisoned Loyalist supporters of the British for up to a year during the war. As he lacked the proper legal right to detain these people, he asked his friends in the Congress of the Confederation to pass a law that exonerated him and his associates from wrongdoing. Surprisingly enough, Charles wasn't criticised at being racist against people of colour but the Welsh.

Literally every single society in the universe has had forms of extrajudicial punishments, which included murder, but of course it makes perfect sense to view things solely through an America-centric lens as, according to the esteemed president of the United States who has said so on many occasions, "America is the greatest country on Earth". Following this fundamental belief, we should of course only base our usage of words in the context of America and nowhere else in the world.

In all seriousness, lynching has a very serious history in the Unites States, really ramping up in 1892, after white Southern Democrats had regained control of state legislatures and after slavery had been abolished and freed black men gained the right to vote. With nearly 3500 African Americans, including at least 159 black women, and 1300 White Americans being lynched in the United States between 1882 and 1968.

Lynchings took place in the United States both before and after the American Civil War, most commonly in Southern states and most frequently in the late 19th century. In the American South, those who were opposed to slavery were often victims of extremely horrible mob violence. The largest lynching during the war and possibly the largest lynching in the United States' entire history, was the lynching of 41 men in the Great Hanging at Gainesville, Texas in October 1862. Most of the victims were hanged after fake "trials" but at least fourteen of them did not even receive that formality. These men were accused of insurrection or treason for daring to speak out against the barbarism of slavery.

After the war, disgusting groups such as the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) instigated extrajudicial assaults and killings in order to keep whites in power and discourage freed black men from voting, working and getting educated. With the KKK being involved with over 400 lynches between 1868 to 1871.

Through attacks of fraud, intimidation and violence at the polls, including the threat of lynching, by the end of Reconstruction in 1877, White Democrats regained nearly total control of the state legislatures across the South. They passed laws to make voter registration more complicated to block African Americans from being able to vote. From 1890 to 1908, ten of eleven Southern legislatures ratified new constitutions and amendments to effectively disenfranchise most African Americans through as poll taxes, property and residency requirements and literacy tests. Since they could not vote, African Americans could also not serve on juries and were effectively without official political voice. The ideology behind lynching was directly connected with the denial of political and social equality and was used to shut out African Americans from political discourse.

Due to the culmination of lynching, racism, and a lack of political and economic opportunities in the South, many African American southerners fled to the North but were also met with ample racism and discrimination. Many whites "defended" "their" areas with violence, intimidation, or skewed legal tactics toward African Americans. Overall, African Americans in Northern cities still experienced systemical and methodical discrimination throughout all aspects of their life. Throughout this period, racial tensions ramped up, most violently in Chicago and lynchings increased dramatically in the 1920s. It started to decrease after that point but spiked during both The Great Depression and World War 2, signifying to African Americans that they were never truly safe and that a bad day for America is the difference between life and death at the hands of brutal racists.

By the 1950s, the Civil Rights Movement was gaining new momentum. It was spurred by the lynching of Emmett Till, a 14-year-old African American

child

from Chicago who committed the "crime" of speaking to the 21-year-old white married owner of a small grocery store while visiting an uncle in Mississippi. For this "offence", he was abducted, beaten and mutilated before getting shot in the head and sunk in the Tallahatchie River where his body lay for 3 days till it was discovered. In September 1955, an all-white jury found the killer to be not guilty of Till's kidnapping and murder showing that the law did not care about black lives and that the ideology of White Supremacy ran rampant throughout all American institutions.

Most, but certainly not all, lynchings ceased by the 1960s but the fear that it brought did not ever dissipate. Even in 2011, the murder of James Craig Anderson in Mississippi was recorded to have been fatally lynched. Jasmine Richards was convicted of "lynching" in 2016 but her conviction was for "taking by means of a riot of any person from the lawful custody of a peace officer" and not for her crime of killing.

While I only briefly touched on the horrors of that word, I felt that it was important for people to realise and understand just how terrible and tragic its connotations are.

If it's fake, the three of them will never be nightkilled and nightkills will show casting doubt on their claim. It's best to townbin for today.

I got pedited but consider BH's townread going down for that pedit.

I like the take in the first half of this. Why was the PEdit not towny?

An essay on the history of lynching is pure spam, iioa and utterly useless.

And yet people like Samantha are still using it so apparently I fucking do need to post it.

but see you didn't actually ask us to stop using it or say anything relating to the game, just "this is what the word lynch means and the history behind it"

If you can't make the basic fucking logical leap that someone who wrote two thousand words about why he finds a word deeply uncomfortable doesn't think people should use the fucking word then you should probably quit mafia
