Mini Normal 2314 - The Mafia Have a Cop [END]

[JacksonVirgo]

Full disclosure, I'm having to prioritise my life for the moment. I shouldn't be longer than 24 hours so I don't feel I need to V/LA but just for your awareness I'll catch up and do my best when I come back, if you quote me I can respond specifically if it isn't like super duper in depth but otherwise wait thanks for understanding.

[JacksonVirgo]

Oh god the pagetop too, I'm so goated

[Hu Tao]

Sorry busy work day. I still think Gera is a fine vote today

"the complex nature of the game" doesn't make a neighbour any more likely to be town or scum

I'm kinda thinking there might be something pretty wild because if the scumteam is a cop, a neighbour, and a

traitor

. . . well

I honestly dislike this assumption and talk of traitors all over the place. Especially from jjh.
I know it would make more sense of the announced scum!cop, but since this is a complex setup I'm almost certain that a Traitor isn't a given.
I could come up with multiple reasons why not / alternative reasons for the Cop without it being a total red herring.

I'h at least hope we would stop talking about a Traitor as if it's confimed to exist.

[jjh927]

The mafia need a reason to use their cop

Therefore they need to be searching for a role that would come up guilty to their cop

Assuming the existence of a traitor is obvious and has no potential negative impact unlike the fringe scenario where it's something else

[jjh927]

Moving away from this, are you likely to be helpful on the eliminating scum front, una

[marcistar]

Ngl i havent read for a fat min (thats your guyses fault)

But if somebodies not helpful in eliminating scum shouldnt we just eliminate them since theyre likely scum?

[jjh927]

Nah it's more that Una is still voting hu tao rather than one of the three members of the scumteam consisting of Dannflor, The Bulge, and geraintm

[The Bulge]

atm i like roden, hu tao, drew for town

una im on the fence

jackson still leaning scum but i think xegarus is worse

10ish more pages but ive got nothing going on at work this morning

bulge why was my slot worse than JV in your estimation

I see a lot of words put towards your scum read on JV but I don't really know why you scum read me

there weren't a lot of xegarus posts to go off of, i haven't really gone and made any cases this game my catching up has been pretty linear. so more content = more comments, ie not proportional to the strength of my read


105 is really bad. it reads to me like scum who is having a hard time faking scumreads and so picks a fight over nonsense and goes all in too early.

[The Bulge]

I wanna ask sumn so let me know when youre caught up

But also a diff question i have is why do you tr jackson?

i thought jv's thought process around drew was pretty easy to follow and i think it was genuine

why did you ask about jackson specifically

are you referring to 573?

[The Bulge]

not sure what is warranting me all these scumreads

is it the low activity + a gamestate read? haven't seen another reason i dont think

[The Bulge]

i am a food tell believer. an enthusiast, even. nothing gets me going like limming the hungry.

[The Bulge]

Probably a good time now to say we are Neighbors, not of the friendly variety though.

Knew it. Was never going to be an IC or a Friendly Neighbor.

But such a silly thing to claim from them anyway.
Two-way neighbors, and not a neighborhood of more people?
Because to me that also makes a difference.

makes a difference in what sense? setup spec or claim believability or what

[The Bulge]

oh nvm

[The Bulge]

idk if i buy the confidence

i mean im not buying what you're selling because its not the solve but

a refined readslist d1 + scum role distribution, and with 2 inactives in your scumlist? that's a lot of very confident townreads

[The Bulge]

re:the neighbourhood claim

i once ran a large normal with two traitors who were in a hood alone together. i thought it was a fun idea but people were salty in postgame (it was a scum win)

i doubt that's a thing here or else i wouldn't be saying anything to tip the hoodies off but it crossed my mind as we have a confirmed hood + large possibility of a traitor

[The Bulge]

what is your opinion on the bulge individually

My calling the team was based on individual reads

I think the bulge has acted entirely based on gamestate, and unapologetically so. There is no attempt to place people, just a couple of popular takes at the point in the game bulge is posting it and a vote. Bulge is looking for an elimination, not for scum

like i said, my actions have been entirely linear, and transparently so. plus i'm not an opportunistic scum player. as town i tend to tunnel on my srs and i try to replicate that as scum, going with the grain for the sake of it is not my style. if i were coasting along on popular reads and just voting to get an elimination i wouldn't be doing the catchups im doing.


how are you reconciling your take that i'm "looking for an elimination" with the fact that i'm voting dann?

[The Bulge]

oh bc you think he is traitor

[The Bulge]

jjh have you read my iso? you certainly haven't asked me anything, nor did you directly answer my question to you about jackson. you said before that you wanted to speak to me "pointedly" but that hasn't happened. is your solve poe?

[Gamma Emerald]

Do you have thought on anything beyond the claim and jjh’s solve?

[UnaBombaH]

I think Hu Tao still has a good chance of flipping scum.
Just because some players seem to be adamant about not voting there doesn't mean my vote is not in the right place.

I'll jump into a wagon later in the day if need be to get a lim through.
But for now, I'm happy where I am.
Watching and reading.

[marcistar]

Wait is this the last day in deadline?!?!?

You've basically said the same thing 5 times. At this point you might just be scum.

[Hu Tao]
