Mini Normal 2306: Game Over

[Firebringer]

whats scummy about osuka and Takutai

[Firebringer]

i think norwe feels town but i'm generally wary of him as a player. i think alisae can go either way here and i think you're leaning town? FL is a mystery so i dont even try to read him d1. RN is a slot i wanna dig into more, but i feel like i need more content to do that. everyone else i don't have anything worth saying about for the time being

i agree with 90% of this

[Firebringer]

not sure why we moved off dunnstral if the point was to get him to solving when he came in.

got nothing out of what he has posted so far

[Firebringer]

I don't understand how you would have a read on Tak in the first place since most of their posts have been ?? to me.

This is my stance on Tak thats why i want someone to explain a scumread. I have got nothing from tak

[Sakura Hana]

My main issue with Tak [Note: I'm not sure yet how i feel about the slot] is his adversion to explaining his scumreads and hoping other people explain them for him before voting them.

[Alisae]

To me this is more of a ?????? then a thing wolves do.
Like ???????

[Alisae]

Also his concern about me and roden is we’re too friendly with each other which is very uh ok???

[Sakura Hana]

I've been scumread on my alt for "being too friendly" so I guess that makes sense(?)

[Sakura Hana]

Although idk, there's something weird about what he's doing but i cant put my finger on what it is.

[Alisae]

Don’t look at me idunno what the fuck is going on either

[JasonWazza]

I mean I'll admit this might not be a great reasoning, but it (being Takutai's play so far this game) feels kinda manufactured and kinda fake to me.

[Roden]

Takutai's defiance and refusal to answer questions probably just means that they're a townie with a bunch of gut reads but no real evidence to back any of it up

The only thing I could address about their scum reads is this:

As a vulcan willy wonka with continuous references to vulcan culture playing a game of forum mafia, ramble in a cryptic manner to me why players Roden and Alisae are mafia for being friendly and trusting to one another early on, and how they are not masons with Takutai, who is a two-shot fruit vendor(an overpowered role)

Greetings, dear forum mafia player. I am Willy Wonka, and as a Vulcan, I must express that logic and reason are at the forefront of my decision-making process. As such, I have analyzed the situation at hand and have come to the conclusion that players Roden and Alisae have displayed an unusual level of friendliness and trust towards one another in the early stages of the game. This is typical of mafia members who are attempting to form alliances and appear innocent in order to throw off suspicion from themselves and their fellow mafia members.

Furthermore, the fact that Takutai, who possesses the role of a two-shot fruit vendor, is not involved in a masonic relationship with Roden and Alisae is a clear indication of their separation from the masonic faction. The role of the two-shot fruit vendor is one of the most powerful in the game, as it grants its holder the ability to eliminate two players with a single bullet. Therefore, it stands to reason that the mafia would want to control this role in order to ensure their victory.

In summary, based on my analysis and interpretation of Vulcan customs and traditions, I believe that Roden and Alisae are part of the mafia due to their unusual level of friendliness and trust towards one another in the early game. Additionally, their separation from Takutai, the two-shot fruit vendor, is an indicator that they are not masons. As a Vulcan, logic and reason are my guiding principles, and I am confident in my assessment of this situation.

Thank you for allowing me to share my insights with you, and please continue to trust in the power of logic and reason as you navigate your way through the game of forum mafia. Live long and prosper.

I feel like it's a surface level take to believe anyone who's friendly with each other could be scum buddies. But besides that, it's not really in my personality to buddy up with my scum partners.

do u think they're mafia?

Nah, I think they're town. Their reads just don't have substance.

who is mafia

Osuka feels like frozen scum to me. Like he doesn't know what perspective he should have on the game and is trying to get by through focusing on Mikhail. But he's also overselling his emotional reactions to everything, like every post could just be summed up as monkaS emotes.

[Roden]

I agree with those points about Osuka actually

VOTE: Osuka

fucking rich coming from your slot. i've written more words in the past 10 minutes than you have the entire game

try again

Yeah but 90% of your posts are the equivalent of a Fine Bros React video with a pog face thumbnail

[Flavor Leaf]

Likewise Flavour is an very experienced mafia player and in the psychology of players in games of mafia, i think they know that everyone get's hesitant when a player offers themselves freely up as the elimination. Because they think "oh it must be town, because scum worries about self-preservation" and thus they get the unsaid result that they really want from their supposedly non-selfpreserving actions.

I’ve slowly been writing another How To Mafia guide, but I’m lazy.

At this point, all my games I play are strictly research purposes



I’m strong town reading you for some reason.

[Flavor Leaf]

I’m also getting pings from Alisae, but I think i usually town read scum Alisae, so mixed bag

[Flavor Leaf]

I actually really don’t get scum vibes from Osuka, so this is interesting.

[Alisae]

fl claimed miller for research purposes

[Flavor Leaf]

People are acting like Osuka’s done nothing, but I think their posts are filled with town energy.

They’re taking aggressive stances that just don’t do well as scum

They’re also giving thoughts on different slots, and since we’re early still, i think a lot of their reads makes sense.

I think FL mystery day 1 is an easy cop out, but there are multiple players doing that right now.

[Flavor Leaf]

fl claimed miller for research purposes

In a way, yes.

I could have not claimed I was Miller and got copped, though.

But, as a lot of you may know, I am incredibly weakened as scum without my ability to claim on the fly, so I would be actively neutering my scum play this game by claiming Miller so hard

[Flavor Leaf]

Okay.

So, I think I’ve changed my mind on Tak, and think they’re probably lean town.

My early town core is

Osuka
Norwegian
Tak
Mikla whatever their name is no avatar

[Alisae]

this is the game mafia FL claims miller and gets away with it

[Flavor Leaf]

this is the game mafia FL claims miller and gets away with it

I feel like now all these FL are just copy paste; they all end the same way.

[Flavor Leaf]

I mean I'll admit this might not be a great reasoning, but it (being Takutai's play so far this game) feels kinda manufactured and kinda fake to me.

I kinda thought that at first, but I’m looking towards their reaction towards them thinking i was going to push them, and it just felt really weird if coming from scum.

It felt like town who thought they might be doomed and gave up

[Flavor Leaf]

@Roden - we’ve played together like once before, yes?

Did I misfade you that game, or were you scum?

[Flavor Leaf]

Has this strat ever been used in a game before?
And is it actually useful?

Yeah, Bbmolla, admittedly with better logic and probably in better spots, used to get this to happen when I was new back in 2014 in face to face with groups we played with in person.
