Team Mafia 2018: Inventions Mafia Day 4

[chesskid3]

(3) We still need to decide whom should Reckoner target.

The answer is RC

[Aneninen]

This is the readlist. I only added thoughts where major changes had happened.

Town

BigYoshiFan
Katyusha
ErrantParabola (His catch-up looks okay for me)

Lean town

GuiltyLion
Reckoner (In his latests I found genuine interest towards the game. Or how can I say it.)
Singersinger (Townish catchup, she did a lot if we consider the sheer size of the game too.)
RadiantCowbells (I'd never call him town on Day1, but his gameplay looks pro-town quite much.)

Null / Ambivalent

Mastin (See my catch-up, her posts gave me strong town and scum feelings. I mean, both.)
Creature
Something_Smart
Chesskid (Actually he still looks like an over-confident townie, but what if the whole push he's making is fake? It's unnaturally strong.)
CheekyTeeky (I don't know what to think. But there have been so many players telling me that my read is wrong... and her latests are not that scummy at all.)

Lean scum

(No names here right now)

Scum

Srceenplay
Hinduragi

Unsorted

(No names here right now)

________

You need not point out that I have too few scumreads. That concerns mee too.

Also, I'd be happier if Reckoner targetted Mastina.

[chesskid3]

Nobody is targetting Mastina with the hider my townflip already confirms her as scum.

How to Post: A Town's Guide

Step 1 -- Have a Game Propelling Point

Does your post:

• address a question by another player?
  
• defend yourself from another player's accusations?
  
• outline why we should listen to you?
  
• online why we shouldn't listen to someone else?
  
• have original content?

If you answer yes to any of those questions, great! You should probably post it.

Examples of times you should NOT be posting:

• you've already repeated this information within the last 5 pages
  
• you are posting a single word
  
• you can't sum up a singular point in less than three sentences
  
• you're being needlessly pedantic
  
• you've made more than 3 posts in a row
  
• etc

Step 2-- Make It Easy To Read

Do...

• make bullet points
  
• provide links to posts
  
• quote where applicable

Do NOT...

• write a novel
  
• have a singular run-on paragraph that hides the point of your post
  
• repeat yourself unnecessarily in the same post
  
• get into turf wars and quote walls
  
• think what you have to say is more important than people who haven't posted in while

Step 3 -- Listen to Singer

She makes good points about this game being >100 pages and difficult to keep up with. You should listen to her. It will make the game a lot more manageable for everyone, especially for town who need to sift through everything to find scum. You know who doesn't need to worry about finding scum? Scum. That's why they don't care that the game is a BAJILLION pages long. They like it this way. They should be punished.

That is all.
Game-related thoughts incoming.

[Aneninen]

She makes good points about

this game being >100 pages and difficult to keep up with.

I may have expressed poorly above, but the highlighted part makes me worried on many levels, eg. lynching Mastina without getting reads on quite a lot of players by many of us.
If there is/are scum among the players posted a lot and (especially) long contents, hurray – but it will be very hard to catch them using

real

and

concise

arguments.
However, if

not

, we'll have

very hard time

catching them. There are too many players under the radar now, but not esentially because they want to do so. They (actually, including me) don't have

this

much time to read and examine everything.

I hope it's clear what I meant by this.

[singersigner]

A couple of things you will notice about me.
1. I don't post reads lists -- especially in a game like this, the last thing I want scum to be able to do is have a directed night kill by myself simply from seeing exactly where I stand on each person in one post. If you can't get a good idea on how I feel about people, ask. Or assume that anyone I haven't explicitly commented on is null and hasn't been flushed out yet so asking my opinion is only telling me you want me to flush them out sooner. Their time will come.
2. I won't engage in a flight -- you can repeat things in my face all you want (chesskid I'm looking at you because every time someone vocalizes a discerning opinion from your own, you impulsively post to the contrary as if we don't already know how you feel)
3. I ask a lot of questions to parse through things. If it's been answered before that is my one exception to my guide on posting where you can simply quote my question and link to a post.

This is the readlist. I only added thoughts where major changes had happened.

I'm sorry...what??

Townish catchup??

Can you please point out where I caught up and how you thought that was particular town? Talk to me about what you consider "a lot" considering I admitted I wasn't reading the whole game and literally only responded to like 3 posts that were within the last page or two of my response.

But I made a promise and I intend to not break it. No going "fuck this" and just skipping ahead. No cheating. No looking. No nothing. I could be at L-1 and people be demanding a claim for me for fucking days and I wouldn't even know, nor would I give a damn, because that'd be your fucking fault for knowing all of this about me and then making the active choice to make it worse by continuing to spam.

But once more to reiterate since it's apparently a message you need to hear every fucking day:
I am reading as much as I can, as fast as I can. If you want me up to date. If you want my feedback fast. If you want me to respond quicker than I have been. If you want live interactions with me. If you want my feedback on CURRENT events rather than on events that are in the past. Then slow the fuck down and let me fucking read the thread because I am trying.

It weirds me out that in 2303 I asked mastina if she could catch up and interact in real time, and that she needs to catch up quickly; to see that she's put this in her first catch up post since makes me think the first snippet is just posturing and she is actually reading current + catching up.

This is the exact same thought I had when I saw this and this post.

Omfg I had to ask my team what "pocketing" was. Wtf is this meta now??

I asked my team on thoughts. Boon is the only one to answer.
He said chess town
Mastina is scum

This also is suspicious as fuck. UnaBombaH and Dunkerdoodles both are the town players I'd expect to be invested in this game and reading it.

Boonskiies is a player who is better as scum, more or less. He would be more invested in a scumgame as a result--to provide coaching. In essence, the players who if Screenplay were town would be helping him...didn't; the player who if Screenplay were scum would be helping him...did.

How much is your team following this game, mastina? Can you provide their insight, and why haven't you been using it to supplement your catch-up?

(I understand the irony of asking her questions she clearly refuses to acknowledge at this stage)

prime ate

no, it's singersigner now.

And with that godly shitpost out of the way, time to do some actual stuff.

You're clearly following along with the game if you can pick this shit out of a lineup, but it looks like you're incapable of providing real time interaction/opinions? I don't like that everything you've provided so far seems to be in retrospect with a chance to marinate and form an opinion after you've had a chance to read everyone else's. Same point about mastina that I made about fitting the narrative.

[Aneninen]

Singersinger

:

2727 is a summary of the whole RC/Chesskid wallpaper
2776 was about a couple of answers (I don't remember the exact situation but I remember nodding when reading it, even if I don't know why)
2788, 2810, 2815 was mostly about Mastina (and a bit of RC).

1. This is a great stalling tactic. This means that mastina can take the time to mold her narrative of events knowing full well the game has moved on without her.
2. This means mastina has no accountability for what happens "without her" because she's refusing to keep up with current events at our expense.

I was thinking about the same thing but I'm not entirely sure whether it's happening, see above my posts.

As I told my team, I'm comfortable with a mastina or RC lynch today,

while I continue to try and find the lurking scum

My reads about Mastina and RC are above. The highlighted part suggested me that you were (are?) trying to examine the others too. Or am I wrong?

Plus, two more things.
(1) Primate was null, your posts were

some

content compared to his ones.
(2) I saw players replacing in long games before like this and most of them cared

much less about the previous pages

(even if there were much less). A smaller amount (including me) posted long walls with detailed reactions. These were, on the other hand, too long to read in most cases (and I doubt I was an exception).

That above is enough for a lean town read. At least, on Day1.

[xRECKONERx]

I've got hider, it's going on RC and we are lynching mastina.

[xRECKONERx]

End of story. Let's go. Don't drag this out.

[chesskid3]

love you reck

[BigYoshiFan]

Assuming RC is town, are you sure you want to

confirm

him as town?

[chesskid3]

he's not town

[chesskid3]

but hes resilient to lynching so this is best.

then bing bang boom clean sweep clean game

[BigYoshiFan]

Nevermind. Whatever then.

[BigYoshiFan]

I can already sense this will be a town loss.

[BigYoshiFan]

If they both flip scum I will sheep you for the rest of the game.
If neither of them flip scum I will ignore you for the rest of the game, if you aren't insta-lynched before I get the opportunity to.
