Micro 857: Burden of Proficiency Mafia

[Aubrey]

Hot damn. 5 pages in already. Hi u2! Hi shoshin!

[Aubrey]

If you're actually town, I'm replacing out of this RC.

Town ping.

[Aubrey]

If you're actually town, I'm replacing out of this RC.

Town ping.

interesting, why?

Still catching up.

I don’t see scum getting pissy and saying that personally. Seems more likely to come from town anger to me.

[Aubrey]

i dearly hope town wins and paragons lose

Part of me wants to town ping this silly remark.

[Aubrey]

I’m tired of reading this idea that Paragons are going to just pick RC because he has a history. I’m not going to do that. If he does scummy shit, yea I’ll be nominating him. But voting someone because they solely have a rep is poor judgment.

[Aubrey]

Hot damn. 5 pages in already. Hi u2! Hi shoshin!

yoooooo

I like you more when you can't be scum ;P

[Aubrey]

Of the three active posters I've played with before, I trust Urap over either of you.

Based on the games I've had with U2, my reads are more trustworthy than his. Aubrey can back this up.

You kicked ass in our last game...but this is a whole new ball game. Let’s focus here.

[Aubrey]

If I hadn't lost internet, we win the geriatric game 100% of the time.

but it did and victory was ours. Lmao.

[Aubrey]

U2 where do you stand so far? I’ve glossed over the past pages so apologies if I missed anything that would answer my question.

[Aubrey]

Oh. I thought he dismissively said it could be a possibility. K.

-

Thanks.

[Aubrey]

Coke and whiskey baby.

-

I’m going to laugh my ass off if you’re scumming faking a dumbtell U2 after our last bout.

[Aubrey]

Give’m more than a few hours after initial game launch.

[Aubrey]

You don’t recall me fighting against the constant slips from Brass? My heart is broken.

[Aubrey]

Lol.

[Aubrey]

I hope we appear in your nightmares.

[Aubrey]

Yikes 13 pages behind already....

[Aubrey]

Page 17, shoshin and RC are the only two slots I’d feel safe guessing town on.

Didn’t like MS’s entrance, and just talking about potential teams. Seems like he isn’t really reading people and trying to figure out alignment.

Uraperson2 I’m leery on.

Saude....eh. Like the fact he straight up doesn’t give a rats ass about perception though.

[Aubrey]

Is that still a PoE or do you find any of my content scummy? If so what?

saudade is scummy af. your questions were after you were done catching up, but indicated that you hadn't actually read the game, and that's also scummy.

Refusal to get caught up is not In itself scummy. Is it optimal play, no. But not scummy imo.

[Aubrey]

Maybe i misread that interaction....thought you were talking about Saude. Speed reading. Apologies.

[Aubrey]

I think paragons can't be trusted anymore by the way. They're trying to get me or RC lynched to make their life easier.

Chill.

[Aubrey]

Pause on my speed read.

For what it’s worth, I tend to come into games with the perception that if something sounds like a grand master plan that scum cooked up, I tend to believe it not the case. RC and Shoshin scum theatering it up kinda falls into that world a bit for me.

Back to reading.

[Aubrey]

But when I have no experience with someone, I judge them against what feels to me like a generic scum/town range

So instead of verifying with meta, you just Lynch every scummy looking player even if it's just their normal style?

Lol. Raises hand*

I hate reading people’s past games That I didn’t play with them in. I like to experience people first hand.

[Aubrey]

Eh. If you’re right, then I’m wrong and apologize.

[Aubrey]

It feels like paragons want RC lynched so they don't have to sort him. I don't see Enter's analysis coming from a genuine attempt to sort the game.

Paragons are not working that hand in hand. We are coming at the game from our own perspectives it seems. If you are against one paragons ideas, deal with him/her. This is getting old reading.

[Aubrey]

I mean it's just too easy for it to be both the lurkers. Right?

A number of games have lost to this mindset. Just a comment. Nothing related to this game. Still speed reading.

[Aubrey]

Page 25. Shoshin flip flopping on RC. I like.

[Aubrey]

If I mislead someone who turns out to be right, a sad Aubrey I become.

[Aubrey]

No, I'm asking how you end up with the strongest scum player on the site as stronger town than me.

You’re scared paragons would lynch RC on rep alone, then turn around and ask this question?

[Aubrey]

RC. Go. To. Bed.

Drinking and mafiaing is a legal crime.

[Aubrey]

Woo caught up, and speed read like a demon.

Shotgun to the head, I’d go after MS.

[Aubrey]

I refuse

......I can’t fucking resist his profile picture.

[Aubrey]

......I can’t fucking resist his profile picture.

once you recognize the cold, black abyss that is behind his eyes, it stops being cute forever.

......but those whiskers keep me drawn.

[Aubrey]

Shuddup you cute box of pixels.

[Aubrey]

STOP REYINF TO SEDUCE ME AUBREY IT WONT WORK

<3 may Cupid’s arrow sink in.

And on that note. Goodnight. Try not to be at 70 pages tomorrow

[Aubrey]

[Aubrey]

rc may very well be scum here too
I actually have no solid townreads at all surprisingly

Lmao. I just told paragons that the one thing I liked about you was that it didn’t seem like you were keeping options open and had a locked mentality. Then you say this.

[Aubrey]

Saude, regardless if you played with her or not. Is there validity in what she is saying about your tendencies based on alignment?

[Aubrey]

You've a very similar name to my irl name

Oh?

[Aubrey]

i think whatever the argument over this meta read, it's clear shoshin believes it. It's too easily debunked a set of claims at this point

True.

I don’t understand saude’s counter argument against shoshin. I have an idea of people’s play style who I first played with years ago. I’m not a person who plays 20 games a year though.

[Aubrey]

RC. Are you not troubled how Saude has reacted to Shoshins accusation? If I were in his shoes (and town) I’d be attempting to dispel the accusation a bit more than he is. He is just using it as a script to paint Shoshin red.

[Aubrey]

Does scum shoshin make up a lie regarding meta that can easy be found false and used against her? I think not. Does scum shonshin use someone’s existing meta to her advantage, yes.

There is no point in really checking.

[Aubrey]

Maybe so. I don’t feel like checking though, and if you were reeeeally over exaggerating Saude should have called you out on that.

Instead he just says you shouldn’t be able to remember his play from 4 months ago, which I think is a poor counter argument.

[Aubrey]

Then You should check yourself

[Aubrey]

You said you’d prove you were right, not double check your memory.

But whatever. Just let us know

[Aubrey]

Whise your other guess shoshin? Again apologies if this has already been mentioned

[Aubrey]

@Aubrey I'm not going over peoples game nor my own ever in my life to win a game of mafia

that shit's so fucking boring I'd rather slit my wrists

Then don’t! but don’t expect me to change my opinion either! It’s not exactly my job to check all the corners in regards to accusations being thrown at you.

[Aubrey]

I’m fine if Saude gets the chop from a paragon perspective.....can’t speak for my mates though.

[Aubrey]

Lol I pray town lands it right so we don’t have to be the last resort.

[Aubrey]

With all due respect, enter is going to have a strong control over paragons if the game goes down that direction. Singleton and I can barely keep up. If your town, you better be able to work with him since he has taken the mount as figure head.

Take that for what you will.

[Aubrey]

I could care less if Enter loses.

That’s fine. I’m just giving a heads up is all.

[Aubrey]

:-/

Be a lot more interesting if you weren’t wishy washy with that statement my cute little fluff ball.

[Aubrey]

Saude flips town, what then? Hypothetical question RC.

[Aubrey]

For what it’s worth I wouldn’t hammer until our sleeping friend had a chance to speak.

[Aubrey]

Was just a generel statement.

[Aubrey]

That’s actually a stupid question. You’ll say your a person with shoshin.

[Aubrey]

Straight up, why is shoshin bad again?

I’m stuck trying to figure out my feelings with Ur a person, MS, and Saude.

At this time, if I were town I’d probably go after Saude. But I’m also in that F it mood where I’m not really over thinking things and would do something on a whim.

[Aubrey]

Hmmm. If Saude did flip town, maybe shoshin is a partner as the ms and U2 debate felt genuine annoyance at one another to me I think...I’ll need to reread that encounter.

-

Totally unrelated. Saude, why did you join this game exactly? Your style of play doesn’t seem the best suited for this set up. Genuinely curious, and not judging.

-

RC ignore my questions. I’m pretty sure you were planning on ignoring them anywho, but I’ll just voice it so I don’t keep wondering if you are or not.

[Aubrey]

I'll answer but I have other priorities right now. Tomorrow evening?

Oh apologies, I misjudged then. Totally fine.

[Aubrey]

Shoshin, who is town?

[Aubrey]

Still catching up

--

This whole paragon vs player win con debate is so
We're all on the same team at the end of the day. Let's just be semi kind to one another. LOL.

--

@RC, it seems nobody but Shoshin is really questioning your slot. She isn't even bickening to people to question your slot, so it seems more like a internal struggle than one with hidden motives motives to me. Take it for what you will.

[Aubrey]

It occurred to me a short while ago that I really had no reason to scumread Shoshin this game

LMAO, my opinion was wasted then. Shoulda read all the way down.

[Aubrey]

Oka, me amor. <3

[Aubrey]

Raises hand*

[Aubrey]

....think I missed something.

Thought U2 was heavily leaning towards a Saude and MS team. Now it's Shoshin and MS?

[Aubrey]

the sole reason i'm doing this is to help the paragons

awwh you do care

[Aubrey]

I've been going about this game very passively and haven't been able to keep up with the greater fine details, so take this with a grain of salt, but in my lil tiny brain scum is in the trio of MS, U2, and Saude.

Has been since most this game.

[Aubrey]

I've been thinking for the longest it was MS and Saude, but I have seen zero distancing between the duo....I'd expect some distance between buddies in a game like this.

Correct me if i'm wrong here.

[Aubrey]

oh, you're right. LMAO i forgot about those events. serves me right for catching up late at night.

[Aubrey]

I think I took a mental note of that before all that stuff went down, and was just thinking about what few notes I jotted down

[Aubrey]

<3<3

I have a question for you. Not really trying to discern your alignment either, just curious.

You'r mentality seems to have changed a bit from basically

(and I'm over-exaggerating)

"My job is only to find one scum, and fuck the paragons should we miss."

to

"I'm going to spoon feed ya'll the game and help the paragons"

. What changed your outlook?

[Aubrey]

Cool. Gives me a better perspective on why you're now looking for the partner. Thank you.

[Aubrey]

Eats popcorn*

[Aubrey]

Dumb question to interject, but is MS and Saude stil scummier in your eyes over U2?

[Aubrey]

Yes or no friend shoshin

I see I didn’t say who that was directed towards.

[Aubrey]

Just don’t forget please!

[Aubrey]

Do it.

[Aubrey]

My crystal ball is clouded and I don’t have windex. Help a wizard out.

[Aubrey]

i dunno i think we should take this game all the way to the deadline

Why do you want to see the world burn.

[Aubrey]

Chews bubblegum*

[Aubrey]

:/

[Aubrey]

i'm sorry i failed you

I still love you. Always and forever. But if you've strung me along all game thinking you're town I'll turn you into a damn coat and live my cruella de vil fantasy. You don't want me to put spots on your coat do ya?

[Aubrey]

disregarding the partner. Is MS still your biggest lead RC?

[Aubrey]

if i was scum i would have ended the game a long time ago.

I'm joking. You're my top TR dude. LOL.

[Aubrey]

it's a really strange world when i'm the universal townread

....rep hurt you that much huh?

[Aubrey]

Saudade is hard TR for Enter. I'm saying you're town Shoshin for reasons I can't put words into. Don't make me look like a fool for believing in you!

[Aubrey]

My question is also forgotten. double sad emoji.

[Aubrey]

Shoshin. Enter means well, and is having a tough time with your sharp tongue. Please ease up on the dude. You're getting mad because you're being suspected, but you're playing a game based on paranoia. Just because you know you're town doesn't mean others should know that. Work with him some instead of trying to bite him. If his mindset doesn't change, shrug your shoulders and move on. But lashing out of annoyance isn't helping, nor is it correct IMO. RC is going back and forth, yet you're not lashing out at him. I know you two are buddies, and Enter isn't close to you in that regard, but try and give him some of the same respect as RC.

[Aubrey]

LOL. seems like it's word choice then. Hopefully now the two of you can engage one another better. And like RC, you better not stringing me along thinking you're town

[Aubrey]

......

[Aubrey]

Well least this brings the game that more drama

[Aubrey]

RC doesn’t interest me personally.

[Aubrey]

Think y’all need to chill some. This is the point in the game I expect scum to theater it up....town shouldn’t confuse us any more than necessary.

[Aubrey]

enter/aubrey/etc i consider you part of my team. ms checked out because he has nothing left to do. shoshin/urap are still posting because it's to their wincon. i don't like losing and it would make me less bitter about it if you took the win.

that's why i'm trying to help.

MS's time zone is opposite of ours.

[Aubrey]

I don't get Shoshin's recent emotional rant from either alignment earlier. Care to talk to me about it shoshin?

[Aubrey]

If you’re scum RC, you have me hella pocketed and I hope your face gets tired from an over exergertion of devilishly grinning.

[Aubrey]

....I’d hope there would be more to that if that’s the case.

[Aubrey]

Shoshin/URAP, Saudade, RC.

Scummy to towny from my perspective. If you're Scum you're winning anyway thanks to Shosh/URAP.

Ignore. For my personal notes.

[Aubrey]

I don't get Shoshin's recent emotional rant from either alignment earlier. Care to talk to me about it shoshin?

I was pretty upset I didn't get a chance to vote. This is the second game I lose in a LYLO-type situation where this happens to me.

I thought you were against Saude anyway though?

Apologies if I missed something.

[Aubrey]

In a brief one or two lines why did you change to U2 from Saude.

Again, deep apologies if you spelled it out already. Feel free to quote it if you did.

I’m doing multiple things at once.

[Aubrey]

That will probably be my last question as well.

[Aubrey]

Regarding your slot.

[Aubrey]

No

[Aubrey]

We’ll probably be making our choice tomorrow. In our books if we win so does the town. If we get it wrong, don’t be to hard on us, and congrats to the mafia victors. Enter and I are rather indecisive so good job all around mafia team. You suck for being decent or better.

[Aubrey]

Only time will tell you irresistible 120 by 100 rectangle of pure cute pixels.

[Aubrey]

Fuck those wouldn’t be the correct Demintions....

[Aubrey]

God bless Aubrey the guy probably havent read half the game

[Aubrey]

I’m far better suited for geriatrics now. Games that only escalate 2 or 3 pages a day. I shoulda replaced out Day 3. Okay we’re locked in!

[Aubrey]

God dammit enter I just realized we should have faked claimed a lock in.

[Aubrey]

Noooooooo. Lol oh well. Gg.

Who da rats?

[Aubrey]

this is going to sound shitty, but the way you played heavily reminds me of my scumgame. You felt a hair linear to me, had a robotic voice, etc etc. That was initial game.

End game I just wrote out RC and was looking at the trio. It appeared you and shoshin distanced, but there was never a threat of the lynch landing on your heads for me personally.

[Aubrey]

Could have possibly! Apologies. As I’ve said, my understanding of this game is rather foggy. Everything I gathered was from speed reads and quick notes I took.

Felt like a lot of the game on player side was between lynching Saude or U2.

[Aubrey]

Apologies shoshin if your town and RC scum!

[Aubrey]

Holy shit we did it enter!

[Aubrey]

Glad to have Urged you from going after RC. You were a fun pal to work with.

[Aubrey]

Well I’m glad I was accurate on MS. From the get go my eyes were squinted in your direction.

[Aubrey]

Shoshin’s constant referral to meta peaked my interest but I dismissed it for the most part of the game. It wasn’t until the end with the RC stuff I really became paranoid against post Saude flip.

U2 I went back and forth on, but didn’t really think U2 and MS was a stroooong possibility.

[Aubrey]

Ed was town so it was just coming to a decision on who to partner with shoshin. Granted I’d enter really and I mean really felt his RC pair I was have gone with it out of respect for him being here more than myself.

[Aubrey]

RC was town*

[Aubrey]

Again fun game! Twists and turns! Enter you were a great paragon buddy and a trooper. Glad we pulled a victory, especially with your post-game concerns!

[Aubrey]

10 thousand percent.

[Aubrey]

U2 I went back and forth on, but didn’t really think U2 and MS was a stroooong possibility.

This would've been absolutely funny though, like URAP and me "goading" each other into voting Saudade constantly.

It fucked with me for a minute, but didn’t feel like a natural scum theater moment to me for some reason.

[Aubrey]

I look forward to reading scum thread. Got to get back to work though!

[Aubrey]

Matter of viewpoint. What you’re describing RC is how enter and I viewed it.

[Aubrey]

Shoshin and U2 nearly broke my scum streak in our last game.

[Aubrey]

So now for the big big question RC. Were you really drunk?

[Aubrey]

I may join as a paragon in the next round depending on player list and how quickly the game increases in activity.
