mini 2048: mafia mafia (BOMPLETE)

[Lapsa]

then again - no...

triv's flip won't change much

[Lapsa]

trying to buddy up xwing and nikk

think will eventually state that I'm:
- townreading xwing (we can do some ol' fashioned good cop, bad cop action here )
- scumreading egx
- confused on nikk/mastina, giving slight town preference on nikk. or straight bussing if need be

whole idea depends on how hard egx's gonna fail today

I do see some potential pulling this through

think nikk is actually kinda close to be pushed over the edge.
just need to delicately feed him my "advanced scumhunting methodology".
he doesn't even need to agree to it. seeing myself convinced would be enough

[Lapsa]

#966 hits nicely

also provides reason to lynch egx first in my narrative

[mastina]

For the record: assuming that the vt claims are truthful, I actually find the setup notably scumsided. 2/4 of Informed/Ascetic/Multitasking/Roleblocker would be balanced. 3/4, a little scumsided still, but I'd still pass it albeit noting its scumsidedness.

All four?

Just overwhelmingly strong.
We knew what the central town power was, and had TWO methods of countering it. Methods with zero drawback.

That is WAY more powerful than the reviewer for this gave credit for. I'd place scum odds of winning at 62.5%--not MUCH over the margin of error (which is 60%), but enough to BE there.

Of course, this changes if we have a lying vt that's actually a PR, in which case I'd automatically call the setup balanced. But as-is, at face value? Scumsided unambiguously. Shame, since that'll detract from the win.

[Lapsa]

well... I'm too dumb to dissect that

[Lapsa]

scratch #176. that would just trigger lynch

[Lapsa]

think the only way to appear sort of town requires zero interaction with you and xwing

+ unlikely event of them fighting each other

[Lapsa]

hey! the cheese is moving!

xwing going aggro!

[Lapsa]

I wonder if we can pull strings on egx...

[Lapsa]

oh man... am I dreaming? is it really happening?

#971

[Lapsa]

oh yeah... while I'm still here

nikk seems to be optimal NK

[Lapsa]

#978 wasn't good

[Lapsa]

I think...

[Lapsa]

nah... those fuckers ain't half bad. underrated them

nikk + xwing combo is quite annoying

perhaps you should back down a bit

anyhow - it's fun!

[Lapsa]

let's vote lapsa first..
if not, then anyone convince me why not..

no hard feelings if you do

although that might be trap

[Lapsa]

we need to know what egx is thinkin

[Lapsa]

at the very least - xwing's panic has been worth the hassle

[Lapsa]

#978 wasn't good

oh crap... meant yours #976

and I'm wrong. it's actually quite nice

[Lapsa]

could be important later on:

89 - Good look for xwing IF Lapsa is scum.

[Lapsa]

#994 egx probably bluffing

which is fine

xwing seems to be susceptible having an issue with that

[mastina]

Btw sorry for calling you a she; it was a subtle distancing move to imply that I don't have the familiarity with you to know better. (The theory being, scumbuddies would obviously be more conscious of each others' genders due to their private chat.)

[Lapsa]

don't really care. although I doubt effectiveness

current situation isn't half-bad

it's enough with single xwing's unwillingness to vote you
(I find it kinda genuine)

for me - think nikk's my best friend

they all have shown some reluctance yet are prone to vote me

our job (obviously) is to keep em guessing so they don't converge on me

need to model vote sequence scenarios - who's gonna think what and how they are most likely to react

that's after I'm done impressing them with my "superb" scum hunting skills

[mastina]

Hoh boy I feel bad for drawing this out.

If I could, organically, figure out a way to vote Egix immediately, here, I would, as to end the pain/suffering immediately.

But unfortunately, that doesn't fit the narrative I've been selling of taking time and being cautious so I need to slow-roll it.

Sorreh, xwing. <3

[Lapsa]

well... my rage was legit in case anyone wonders

in fact - it would be tenfold if I were town

[Lapsa]

.8

xwing

+ nikk

^ by the looks - this one has changed

one scenario could be pushing xwing+nikk whenever egx shows reluctance to vote me.
