Open 520: Stacking the Deck Part II - Game Over...Mafia Win!

[Maestro]

also when I say "my thoughts so far" I mean "my thoughts on the game" because I'm done reading up and stuff

but yeah seriously it's worth it, IMO, to talk about how (at the very least) extremely antiTown or (at worst) actively shitScummy TGO's hesitation on claiming his Night action was. you fucking claimed, you got Scum lynched, you somehow survived the Night (probably only because qwerty was on you like a fly on a lightbulb) and then you just sit there while some dude who you essentially brought down to a 50/50 chance of being Scum was run up to L-1 and was almost quicklynched?

bad play at best, shape up SON

[Maestro]

lolok well it really helps that my predecessor was kindof a lurksack for a Day and a half, but hey whatever man

a vote for Jason and a vote for Mutt do not an assertive IC make - SO LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE

[Sakura Hana]

Not only he was being a lurksack i found most of what he did like interfering with the scumhunting we were doing while he didnt do any himself, but I'm glad you're on that slot now, however we cant be sure scum didnt target him last night, a bodyguard died and i dont see why scum would have killed that person. Looks to me he probably died protecting someone, which could pretty much have been the RB.

Anyway roleblock on SoM doesnt help much until there's 1 scum left, yes he could be either the traitor, or the scum used a power to recruit the traitor, in either case having a NK and a RB doesnt exactly clear them.

don't repeat what I say, only groveling will net you brownie points with me, sir

[Sakura Hana]

I just realized that i skipped over #600 and read #601 and replied to that, and then posted my own thoughts towards TGO

SO LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE

this was an open invitation to post gaiz, js

[Sakura Hana]

Maestro, what are your reads so far and why?

[Maestro]

reads are silly, and no I'm not trolling. tbqh I have literally no reason to contribute if others are not willing to do the same - I refuse to put more effort into the success of this Town than its unconfirmed members are willing to. (to be clear: why do you need to ask that question? mindset-clarification, answer plz, since you're the only one talking right now)

[Sakura Hana]

If scum night kills you, your reads were most probably correct based on what you mentioned earlier, if they dont then they might have been wrong. Now that i said this it's probably useless to analyze it that way but hey!

Why are reads useless tho? Is it in general or just for this game, and why?

[Maestro]

just for this game, just for me, and just right now, mainly because nobody's engaging with the game at this very moment. NK is an obvious circumstance that is both feasible and likely and yeah, I'll be talking enough today for everybody to get a feel for what I'm thinking, but right now, no, no silly reads lists.

SCUM -----------------------------------> TOWN

???????????????????????????????? ---> ME

[SoundsofMusic]

I'm the Tracker

TGO you fuck

I was obviously a PR

[SoundsofMusic]

I did because he defended the scum and took a dive into setup speculation saying that scum didnt take any powers and stuff.

you know this is terrible logic

VOTE: Sakura

[SoundsofMusic]

I would like to do a mass-claim

see if I can root out a liar

[JasonWazza]

Then why the fuck did you call fuzzy town?

What are your tracking results?

Don't be called scum claim tracker and then ask for a mass claim.

[Sakura Hana]

UNVOTE:
So miss "I doubt scum took any powers" if what you say is true then scum took 2 powers, what then.

Don't think you should blame TGO, from his PoV you were calling him scum for claiming roleblocker and voting fuzzy, what else is he supposed to think about you?

Is anyone else finding SoM's claim hard to believe

[Sakura Hana]

Is anyone else finding SoM's claim hard to believe

I am, but I normally believe claims unless CC'd.

[Maestro]

@Tammy: the phrases "the Mafia may elect to receive up to three" and "for each additional power the Mafia choose" have confused me. Does this mean that for every power the Mafia chose AT ALL, the Town received 1 extra power, or for every power the Mafia chose past 3?

[JasonWazza]

Here's how it works

Mafia PR's = 0
Town PR's = 2

Mafia PR's = 1
Town PR's = 3

Mafia PR's = 2
Town PR's = 4

Mafia PR's = 3
Town PR's = 5

[Maestro]

that's...slightly silly, but ok

[Maestro]

yeah no, I don't believe the claim - it was badly timed and VERY rolefishy. SoM is not at L-1 AFAIK, and he came off his aggression not voting the person he was yelling at for "outing" him, but somebody else for "bad logic". naaaaah, I don't buy it. but I'll give reads before we quicklynch, basically I'm convinced Scum is lurking out this game
