Multiple things I picked up through half-skim/half-reading. ((I'm going to reread later, though))


1)
I've seen everyone here before :D
{Almost50, Brassherald, Ausuka}
the most.
{Lalendra, Ircher, Mathdino, Lovebird, the worst, Iconeum}
to a lower degree.
I've seen the rest of the playerlist once or twice:
{mutant, Beefster, Simyk, The Janitor}


2)
Math
, can you explain to me your analysis of the draft in depth? It's NAI for someone to try and get a PR because it helps the alignment of the person it's under. I mostly play games where I'm more likely to get a PR than not. This is a preference, not an AI thing, unless I'm misinterpreting your post.

Honestly, I pre-planned the number I was going to send to the Mod BEFORE the full playerlist even signed up.

-
I didn't think to send a number higher than 10 because I had no clue what other people would do.
-
I figured since
{1, 2, 3}
were more likely to be repeated, and
{8, 9, 10}
were a bit too high, I went with the lowest in
{
4
, 5, 6, 7}


I'm actively working to be NKed due to loud AF gamesolving, so that's how that went... :igmeou:

3)
:lol: I don't see this coming from scum, pretty bold, and I see
the worst
is asking questions and making assessments.
Early townlean


4)
Lovebird
, you stated that the people on page 1 are town, can you provide some reasoning, and has that changed for you?

5)
Can people explain their reads to me on
Beefster
? Honestly, I like of him, I don't see much benefit in discussing setup extremely early, I think that's likely to cause WIFOM later and this post tells me he's aware of too much information being spewed would end up hurting the town later.

6)
Mathdino wrote:i have 5 reads already
- Talk to me about them, it hasn't been a full 24 hours yet so the quick 9 pages are fuzzy to me.

7)
I'm not fond of this post, you quoted
the worst
several times and then didn't really elaborate on your thoughts or engage with questions, I don't see your thought process.

VOTE: Iconeum

I may be unresponsive for the most, if not the rest of the day; I don't know yet. In either case, if I'm unavailable now, I'll be more active later. If I remain active, then I'll be keeping a medium standard.

I'm not in a good frame of mind for Mafia. X_X

Also, some of you already know this, but detailing your thoughts with questions and organizing them when you're posing them to me is the best way for me to get my thoughts out there and for worthwhile engagement. :)
#1: I like the formatting
2) I like the questions and angle being taken here
3) I like the fairly clear presentation of reads
4) A lot of thought was put into this post
5) It just registers a town vibe for me.

ircher, your scumread on me is not my fault

you're literally saying "it's hard to follow math's reads, therefore he's scum"

in what goddamn universe is "hard to follow" a scumtell

it sounds like you just want to remove me to make it easier for you to play the game the way you want to

You’ve apparently posted much more than I remembered originally. A very quick glance at the iso (as I had a Null read 2 minutes ago) says you are lean town because of what you’ve posted about.
Pedit: I mean, scum do gain from being hard to follow because then they can be more width-washy about their reads. But in a way, you are right; I need to re-evaluate my read on you but it’s late right now, so I don’t have time atm.
UNVOTE: for now.

Pedit2: I mean tbh, it probably does play some role.

Ircher I only think 2 and 5 are even ALIGNMENT indicative (o_o ;;)

And even then the stance given is pretty MINOR - his argument is basically just that Ico voting his townread is BAD

The vote itself is FINE but I think townreading it is a bit PREMATURE? I do not know it is very Null to me but that is just me! (´−`) ンー . I was hoping to see his FOLLOW up soon aswell o^_^o

i really don't understand why people catch up the way they do nowadays

where they're like "oh boy i missed 5 pages, guess i'll fill ANOTHER page ripping apart every 5th post"
and then another person comes along like "oh boy looks like i missed 6 pages, i'll fill YET ANOTHER page ripping apart the last 6 pages!"
and then another person comes along...

and on top of that, the majority of the catchups are just like "lol people aren't posting good content, stop making it harder for me to catch up"

hypocrites
:facepalm:

chronological catchups are bad and demotivational both for the player and for everyone else to have to watch, people should stop trying to be mastina

I do it because of the medium I play on; did I ever tell you all my posts so far were made on a phone? Anyway, I think I’m going to sleep soon.

just read the game, post your reads, and then go back and quote the posts that support where you want to go with the game

it doesn't help anyone to just quote posts and say "yo this sucks" when those posts were made 12 pages ago and aren't relevant anymore

like in the span of your catchup you went from voting me because you didn't like my setup spec (without doing the research to find that i do that literally every game (although i haven't done it as scum yet i don't think?))

to backing off completely after being criticised for it

like what was the
point
of all of that

at least fluffposters are honest about their posts contributing nothing

I literally just woke up here and I haven't really read the thread properly yet but

you, mutant, simyk, tw, taly seem towny enough.
a50, brass, janitor, lovebird, iconeum are meh.
this is probably ircher's scumgame but I still have to verify that.
lalendra and beef are scummy.
No matter what happens, I'll be right there with you.

OMG! I've just realized something!!

Look at the first post.. it's #7!

Both are actual post number +6. Coincidence? I think NOT!

Did these 2 games actually happen? If so, I'd appreciate being linked to them.
tell me you're not serious
Math's title genuinely sounds like something that could have been run during the marathon games and the worst's sounded like he had a stupid moment in a game of that title.

It's unlikely that these games happened but still plausible so I still asked because if they do exist then I don't want to miss out on the data from them.

Hey! I'm not always bad reads and confusion! Sometimes I'm lucky reads and sexy.

Seriously though, I'm providing facts here because I have them. This is my favourite open setup since the draft mechanic gives us so much information, then top that with night kills, then consider what faction is likely to pick what role, and you have a setup that can be partially solved with logic rather than just reads and lucky night actions. I get so much more fun and satisfaction by working out who is scum and being right than reading who is scum and being right (probably because I'm not the best at the latter).
