Mafia of Revelations ~ Game Over!

[farside22]

I find myself agreeing more with Blair

VOTE: iamausername

[VP Baltar]

UNVOTE: MT
VOTE: iamausername

I just spent a game as scum fighting against Blair's instincts to save my team. No one in that game would really follow her and she screamed into the void for many pages. She ended up copping two of them.

Blatant sheep here. Come at me if you don't like it.

[Hoopla]

battle to the death!

green crayons vs iamausername

exciting times. i must say, what a treat for mafia enthusiasts watching along witnessing such a high level of play

[AGar]

AGar no

Reck misspelled iamausername. You sheeped the wrong vote. I understand, these mistakes can happen to anyone.

[Llamarble]

but this is even better

VOTE: Untrod Tripod

Once upon a time that might have been townish, but people learned to fake insufferable long ago, and are particularly likely to at the beginning.

I think that evaluating a single meme (joke) post as "insufferable" is unfair and inaccurate, even for a player who may have never seen such a thing. I also do not see how you can identify that CLAP's posts are natural whereas MT's aren't to arrive at those conclusions that quickly.

VOTE: Llamarble


Green Crayons, can you put into words why that post from Untrod Tripod was scummy?

Spoiler: i dont like any of it

Okay, Noob-ish players, tell me about you!

What brought you to MS?
What's been your favorite *finished* game that you played so far?
What's your favorite role and why?
Who are your top 3 to 5 favorite Scummers and why?

Wouldn't really call myself a noob, lol, but:

1. Played Mafia IRL at college, googled online, came here.
2. I honestly like most games I play - but perhaps the most entertaining one was one where I was a jester among two others (and both town and mafia would lose if all the jesters got out, and we don't know each other) and we all managed to get lynched to a perfect win.
3. Vanilla Town, it perfectly suits my dayplay style: I don't need to worry about "surviving" and I don't need the overhead of who to target.
4. I have way too many at this point one name you guys may recognize would be Thor

not scum together but this call and response isn't great for either

I am not a giggler, but I giggled a little bit.

[Blair]

Llamarble no

You misspelled iamausername

[Llamarble]

He isn't a bad choice either but I would like more data. Maybe they are both scum.

[Llamarble]

I think ABR still has solid scum odds but I vaguely remember finding a similar version of him falsely scummy long ago.

Yeah no kidding

[Green Crayons]

ABR is always falsely scummy until he isn't.


Life comes at you fast.

[Green Crayons]

oh no i can't spell

[Green Crayons]

hoopla, can you tell me what play from MT you're referring to here?

opening games tend to fragment into themes - jokers/questionnairers/wagoners etc. alliance crafting/cuteness riffing seemed like the dominant theme on page 1. i expect that scum upon observing the main narrative, tend to play along with it, as its the safest entry into the game. the continued adherence to the established running joke being an exercise in avoidance. a shield, if you will.

Because idgi.

have you ever had an experience where a word just sounds

off

? so you repeat the word out loud, over and over, each iteration sounding more and more absurd, until its lost all its meaning.

i feel like that's what's happening with this whole cuteness introspection.

my attempt to filter an intuitive response through the ugly kaleidoscope of words was an olive-branch. a compromise of sorts, to show my reasoning, when it didn't really come from a place of reasoning in the first place.

the focus on this specific event almost seems like another version of what pinged me about morning tweet to begin with: an easy narrative to look busy participating in.

you know this is completely obtuse, right?

no, sorry. i'm going to have to assert that cuteness was my intellectual property, as evidenced by my opening post. it was such a charming post, you simply couldn't help yourself in tagging along.

I don't even *know* if this is AI, but since i'm one foot down the rabbit hole anyway--so did you intend for the cuteness thing to catch on as A Thing or are you saying MT was suspicious because she just happened to pick it up and run with it?

[Green Crayons]

you know this is completely

obtuse

opaque

, right?

fixed. i've been working all day and my brain's fried. o words are all the same.

[Green Crayons]

Also:

i've enjoyed llamarble's fervent insistence on cutting through the dense layers of jokes and naval-gazing theorycrafting permeating our early-game. actual attempts at analysis? how refreshing!

llamarble's post 90 was an earnest attempt at dissecting the early game - the first person to really do so in any meaningful way. that, and his handful of subsequent posts (when he wasn't being lured into theory-chat with auro) were perhaps the catalyst for transitioning us into a more serious discourse.

if you can't notice the difference in the tone of the game from page 1-3 compared to ~post 90 onward, i don't know what to say.

It's simple enough. Hoopla had a gut read or a "this matches a scum pattern in my brain" moment.
Then she ended up having to try and explain in words what gave rise to it when her brain didn't use words when deducing the player was scum to begin with.

I've been effectively buddied by Hoopla before; I had a moment earlier where I thought "Maybe Hoopla told Auro to buddy me in the scum QT" but that pairing seems unlikely now.
Hoopla is excellent as scum and I regard her and Reck as the biggest potential threats to a town win.
That said, the same-wavelength towntell is a hard one to intentionally fake. Usually where we have disagreed and I looked back, I found there was good reason for it.

Its not whether I see a tonal shift. Im trying to figure out if you’re genuine or buddying.

So far you’ve given me one post.

[Porkens]

This game kicks ass. I have almost no reads whatsoever.

What do you think about my infinitesimally small iso, Porkens?
