Yeah I intentionally put jjh at E-1 last night to clear gob and he acknowledged the vote.

[Ydrasse]

ahhh

[Ydrasse]

im just glad this is over

[gob]

Are we still allowed to talk even though it is hammer?

[T3]

Lol. Honestly, I just need to focus on the game more. I spend random 5 minutes spurts looking at the game before something else catches my attention and throughout the day it adds up to an hour but I never think about the game outside of those 5 minutes spurts, I never actually sit down for an hour and just look at the game.

Yes

[Prism]

VOTE: jjh

This is E-1 and as scum you can blitz. Please either blitz or confirm you are not blitzing and I will unvote immediately.

Confirm you see 4464.

I see it.

Again if he slowrolled us we band together and mail gob

a pipe bomb

some pretty flowers

[T3]

'in Minecraft' of course

[T3]

gob was my top townread so I'm pretty shocked. Oh well.

[Prism]

I literally spent probably ~15 hours of the last 24 reading this game or metaing players in some capacity. I will be so salty if he didn't realize he could blitz lmfao

[imaginality]

Surely someone with gob's wealth of insight into mafia strategy would not overlook that opportunity if scum

[Prism]

I actually read something like 12 T3 games, 8 or 9 Dragons games, I think 5 jjh games, and did some specific keyword searches for imaginality so I will so SO SALTY if the game should have ended last night

[T3]

camel was pretty obvious but he could easily have played like that as town too. For Fire I thought "hmmm, which players am I ignoring that are in my null pile" and then I saw a cool quote from RadiantCowbells that said "statistically, average players' null reads are more likely to be scum than their town or scum reads" so I voted Firebringer

[imaginality]

It would be poetic if StD is scum and had the chance to hammer back then but missed it due to absence

[Prism]

I'm going to take this as you being town and not trolling us.

I'll be really happy for jjh if this is a scumgame but I think and hope he's town.

THE ONLY QUESTION IS DID GOB FUCKIN' SLOWROLL US AND NOT REALIZE HE COULD HAVE WON YESTERDAY

[Ydrasse]

get gobbed

[T3]

keyword searches

Wait, keyword searches to find scum??

I only ever use them when I'm althunting, I've found like 3 alts this way lol

Yeah I do a lot of phrasematching, but I don't put a ton of stock in the mere existence. I like to use it to find contextually similar situations. That's actually how I found the Dragons quote with searching variants of "not confident", for you I did a few different ones but the first that I remember is "put a finger on it", imaginality I had some theories around gamestate, pattern, and his initial assertion that I was trying to control the game.

[gob]

Well if its a confirmed win then yea, I'm the mafia.

I wasn't trying to slow roll or anything. I was at work when the blitz happened and was checking on my phone to make sure nobody unvoted after I posted. Then Prism unvoted in the meantime.

First, for my own play: I wolfed well early on (classic combo of being scumread early into getting hardcleard), and I played the strategy well (becoming people's top/hard town). However later on in the game my play stalled a bit pretty clearly. I feel like I should've had a stronger push on JJH/imaginality/Ydrasse at the end.

I was really impressed with Prism, imaginality and JJH. Prism even read me like a book today, seeing I unvoted to prevent anyone else from getting cleared.

[Ydrasse]

zzzzzzzzz
gg

[gob]

I am interested in why people thought me leaving over Fire would've made the game 100% scum victory.

I saw Prism and I think JJH say that

[Prism]

Well played, I think you had some early meta stuff. I'm really annoyed but I'm willing to forgive since it looks like you didn't know better.

The issue with the slow roll is that I told you I would unvote immediately. I set it up specifically so that you could confirm exactly what was happening and blitz.

I don't think I ever got that far: I erroneously cleared you off of interactions and never got into leave speculation with your slot.

Well I harbored a small fear that you were gonna flip on me or were testing me. So I had to play it safe.

In a vacuum, you TRing me actually pinned me in a way. Since it forced me to TR you, but I was susceptible to having that flipped on me.

[imaginality]

Well played gob (and Fire and camel). Yeah I had strong suspicions on you D3 gob, but today I let others' townreads shift my focus away. Which is partly on me, if I'd had more capacity to effort more today I might not have done that.
