Open 837: Cop Killer - Endgame

“I see” a red door and I want it painted black.

Oh, God. Please don't let me be misunderstood.

Dead man walking, reporting.

Obligatory

[Almost50]

Good morning!

Good morning miss
Can I help you son?
Sixteen today
And up for fun
I'm a big boy now
Or so they say
So if you'll serve
I'll be on my way

[Almost50]

VOTE: Salsa

I'll get you this time.

Don't think so but best of luck

Does this count?

[Almost50]

Now taking bets on how long A50 lasts.

I'm gonna get crazy and say he survives two nights.

[Almost50]

Are y'all having fun yet?

[Almost50]

A50 how does it feel to be unvotable today? What a treat it must be

Who says (I'm unvotable)? Don't you know it's a scumtell of mine to shitpost and meme?? *Smirk* (Or are you INFORMED?)

[Almost50]

Actually, I am shocked nobody typed "clodpoles" and/or "fecal matter" yet.

[Almost50]

Now let'sd get our act straight. No more filler. This thread is now under marshal laws and absolutely no shitposting is allowed.

That said, I hard claim BP Miller.

[Almost50]

Almsat?? You think I'm a satellite?

[Almost50]

ive only ever seen the self-vote reaction test used by town. i could guess at reasons for this (mafia not wanting to draw attention to themself, mafia not wanting to do something daft that gets them policy-eliminated, the fact that moving the game out of rvs benefits town), but the theory behind it is far less relevant to me (because i think it's bad and shouldnt happen regardless) than what ive tended to observe.

I hate to shoot your theory down, but I have witnessed scum self-voting in RVS, and it was to avoid alienating others early. IIRC they said it was because they "didn't know whom to vote".

So far I have but only one TR, and it's not even that strong, so I'll let you all play it out a little and see where it gets us

[Almost50]

Suss that A50 isn't shitposting as much as he should be.

You're approaching LAL territory with this statement. I am the top poster of this game as we speak, and I have yet to say one meaningful word.

[Almost50]

This is A50 in his pure town form.

One done with. Eleven more to pocket

[Almost50]

mc I didn't mean to suggest that it wasn't

Also..

A BIG HI

[Almost50]

Kinda bummed you're IC A50, would've been fun sorting you.

Age

Role is just a

number

title, my friend

[Almost50]

I demand that A50 cop check himself. I’ve gotten a mislim on a cop cleared A50 while the cop was still alive. But I’ve never gotten a mislim on A50 while he was a cop that was cleared and also an IC. Winning the game is nowhere near as important.

Keep on bragging you weasel.

[Almost50]

Going on 54 years now, we’re doubtful it’ll ever happen.

there you go.. and we're not even mid-way past D1.

[Almost50]

It’s a little premature to be townreading me. We should wait until day 3 or four to fakeclaiming masons.

You should've let me know about your grandiose plan in the PT beforehand.

[Almost50]

Billy Joel

How befitting..

[Almost50]

Who doesn’t play mafia any more.

PLAAAY you say?

[Almost50]

A50 gets all hammers

The only hammer I'd consider having is Antonio, and he hasn't been racking up many points of late.

P.S. Dear reader: If you are not familiar with English soccer, this post wasn't meant for you.

[Almost50]

Don’t say that. I didn’t fully read the player list and thought I accidentally posted in a game I shouldn’t be in.

I demand that you sing "Wishing Well" every other post.

[Almost50]

You need to read the CPR Doctor role, I think

[Almost50]

As someone mentioned before; CPR Doc is essentially a VIG. The IC in this game is meant to be a "male bee" (or ant). Just do it once and DIE.

[Almost50]

Corredction: Bingle says what's considred "best mechanical play" regardless of alignment. He knows his stuff. It up to others (on this case: myself) to decide whether they agree or not. I haven't decided yet, but I do see the pros (and cons) of it.

[Almost50]

LQ is being fined a grand total of $0.99 for being late to the party. Further delay may result in stripping him off his

clothes

title as moon & sea joiner.

[Almost50]

I feel dizzy.

OH! I've just realized my new title has been implemented. I don't know how long it's been there but I didn't see it until NOW!

Also I don’t like 146 from Roden.

“People” are not voting the IC. One person (me) is voting the IC. Conflating an issue bigger than it is under pressure is not a good look.

Thanks for completely missing the point of my post!

Why are you so defensive?

I'm not, I'm just annoyed that every time I try to have fun as town I get dog piled, and when I try hard as town I essentially get called toxic.

In other words, because of pressure?

Nope.

I mean, I kinda expect you to just own it if you are Town here. This is a weird look. You're clearly concerned about getting votes.

Is there any particular reason you're ignoring the reasons I gave

Not much to look into there. You're just saying, "I'm Town," in that post.

What does that have to do with anything?

You're annoyed you are getting voted because you are Town. That's what I'm getting from why you are so defensive. You say you're not being defensive but you express being annoyed based on being voted. Your explanation is that you are annoyed because your are Town, but I have no reason to just believe that you are Town because you say so.

I dunno why I'm quoting this. I didn't even read the exchange, but I was afraid it might be something I need to put my name on (like a petition to save little white monkeys, maybe?)

Oh, shit! I can't embed more than 10 quotes within each other? Fine.. plan B.. remove one at random..

[Almost50]

Ended up thinking of a better solution (PPlan C) which what I did above

[Almost50]

All this discussion because I misclicked the Q+ button huh

*Sigh*

As I said, I didn't even read the exchange, but if you caused this then I think I'd have to ground you.

VOTE: T3

[Almost50]

By the property of Monkey See, Monkey Do does that mean you're going to start a company now?

Only if you have enough money you

desperately

want to lose

[Almost50]

I would also like to say I want both LQ & Roden executed TODAY because they're trying to prevent me from proving my supremacy in the field of quality shitposting (that's a new one) and finishing D1 as the top poster (for the first time ever, I believe)

[Almost50]

I promise that I'll either catch up tomorrow. Maybe.

Is their an "or" missing, OR am I missing the point?

[Almost50]

I'm going to reread because my head is completely empty

<Insert cheeky and totally inappropriate comment here>

[Almost50]

when I'm in a better mafia headspace

Is that red or blue?

[Almost50]

I would also like to say I want both LQ & Roden executed TODAY because they're trying to prevent me from proving my supremacy in the field of quality shitposting (that's a new one) and finishing D1 as the top poster (for the first time ever, I believe)

Just make like Salsa and spam eight or nine posts to gank a few pagetops

If you believe it, you can achieve it

If Bingle ever provides the money for me new business; you are on the board.

[Almost50]

OK.. I'll reduce your sentence to a couple of slaps on your behind.

But seriously, did you get any "real" impressions out of this, or are you voting because "gut"?

[Almost50]

Oh, I forgot...

UNVOTE:

[Almost50]

Not deliberately dodging, just unable to do deep reading right now. I will say that I tend to see such conflicts early on as TvT, though I dont think it's particularly towny to be as defensive as they seem.

As for the intervening comments, I will cop to skimming/skipping them and will review later today.

This game went from memery to dead fookin serious faster than I was prepared for.

As promised I re-read. It wasn't much better. Have some terrible reads instead:

GL feels town.
Auro feels town.
T3 could be town.
Mc might be town.
Roden and LQ are prob TvT here but if I had to vote one it's probably Roden. I've seen town LQ look like this before.

UNVOTE:

And I'll place a new one after I see the latest VC (not on the pagetop yet)

I would prefer if you gave afull readlist if you're not voting on the spot.

[Almost50]

Do I detect a certain stiffness

You sure it's not brittleness? Or maybe it's rigidity?

[Almost50]

Basically, yeah. This game I want to focus on who I town read the least {target pending}.

[Almost50]

I only feel good about GL so far...

Is broken colour tags a towntell or a scumtell of yours? Please remind me..

[Almost50]

I only feel good about GL so far...

Is broken colour tags a towntell or a scumtell of yours? Please remind me..

ARE.. duh!

[Almost50]

There’s less emotion and content.

Which one describes what you're talking about best?

[Almost50]

I'm not engaged

Translation:

[Almost50]

I feel bored, so I may decide to actually play this game seriously. (Sorry for those this may disappoint)

OK..

First "Dictatorian" Declaration:

I; King of thread and ruler of both Town & Mafia alike; have decided in all my mighty grace to

request

order all of my subjects and minions to each provide a 3-players list of their top TRs (NOT including self).

- You have 24 hours to comply.
- Once submitted you cannot alter your choices.

[Almost50]

A50, Pav and the next person to vote me. Only somewhat tongue in cheek.

Unacceptable for 3 reasons:

1- I am conf!Town, so it goes without saying I was asking for your reads on other players
2- The "nekst" player that votes you is an unknown quantity at this time
3- Although my post still looks like I'm shitposting I was/am dead serious. I've decided to actually play the game, so please no tongue in cheek lists

So...

[Almost50]

I'm still waiting on Roden, D'Arby, Galron, Enchant & T3 to submit their lists

[Almost50]

I mean that limming town!GL with Bingles points in mind would be scum indicative on Bingle, but if GL were NK'd I wouldn't assume Bingle was behind it.

Why would you engage in preemptive NKA in the first place though?

Like... This is just introducing so much WIFOM into the thread.

If GL gets shot here, did Bingle do it for towncred? Did scum do it trying to frame Bingle? Did the CPR doc do it trying to save GL from the scum shot that was trying to frame Bingle of either alignment?

Just posting that makes it completely useless.

I am actually surprised you didn't see what I did in there, despite the fact YOU did warn against this specifically.

Let me be explicit: What makes you think Pav isn't Scum signaling who their target might be? (Or maybe telling the other Scum team to shoot GL while they shoot someone else, like the IC?)

I am thus confirming my surprise that both you & Salsa had Pav as your TOP TR. I myself have him in my bottom 4 reads.

I am not going to share more about my reads for the time being (because I don't want to affect the reads of those who have yet to provide their top 3 reads), but I had to mark this down now for future reference

[Almost50]

This is the perfect example of the kind of weird I expect from Scum!Salsa.

For example, Salsa voted someone multiple times without actually voting someone else in the game I played with them where they were Scum. So this sort of counting posts to get to page top is right in line with the same kind of weirdness IMO.

I agree with this read

[Almost50]

Hence, I don't understand how the line of questioning actually helps you sort Pav, it feels like busywork at best and at worst potentially trying to stir up "issues" with Pav that you can then use to push him.

Explicitly, I agree that questioning on this aspect doesn't help sort Pav. I'm just trying to muddy the fuck out of any signaling attempts because for fuck's sake people, scum not being able to guess what each other are thinking is one of town's primary advantages in this setup.

So you did see at as signaling. GOOD. Now ACT upon it.

[Almost50]

Why even signal to other mafia if they need each other dead as well?

It's naturally "NK me pls"

Because they need to not both target the same person? And because they won't be cross-killing intentionally on N1?

[Almost50]

And since you are here, why haven't you provided your top 3 yet? @Enchant

[Almost50]

So you did see at as signaling. GOOD. Now ACT upon it.

Okay.

VOTE: Salsa

I can go with that too

VOTE: Salsa

[Almost50]

Salsabil Faria (3)-

T3, mc esther, Pavowski,

Bingle, Almost50, Galron

(E-1)

Edited by me...

I won’t be surprised if all 4 scums are voting me

I plea "guilty as charged"

[Almost50]

In each game with A50 of mine, they read me wrong every freaking time, so I don’t have high hope from them.

Not my fault that you only play MAFIA with me.

[Almost50]

[Almost50]

Just a recommendation and absolutely not binding

: CPR Doc could target Enchant
