Title: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Game Over!)
Post by: Dormio Ergo Sum on April 13, 2020, 09:42:20 AM

After having been through nine potentially world ending calamaties in seven years, the entire populace of Ys was quite sick and tired of watching the world around them collapse before their eyes. Even the multitude of villains who had nearly succeeded in ending civilizations came to the unanimous decision that taking over and/or destroying the world was getting kind of old.
And so people from all over the world gathered in the temple of the Goddesses, trying to figure out a new way to pass the time without having to kill or maim each other. It was then that they were greeted by a vision of the Goddesses, who brought down with them a heavenly game.
Welcome to Ys Mafia.

Quote from: Sample Role PM
Welcome, Dormio, to Ys Mafia!
You are Yunica Tovah, the Holy Knight of Ys
(https://i.imgur.com/7mQBurc.jpg)
Yunica Tovah, reporting for duty! Not that there's much to do in heaven. Apparently, the world is at peace now. This is great, now you can spend more time with the Goddesses, since they don't have to descend from the heavens to sav... Wait! What do you mean they've gone down to Ys again?!

In addition to your ability to post in thread and vote, you have the following abilities:
  • Reckless Charge: Your tendency to act first and think later has gotten you into trouble on more than one occasion. What this means for you, however, is that your actions will always resolve first.
  • Magically Oblivious: You have absolutely no aptitude for magic. None. Not even a little bit. As a result of this, you've spent much of your life developing strategies to counter any magic users. That is to say, you've grown strong enough that nobody is able to stop you from performing any action with (or without) magic once you've set your mind on it.
  • Feena's Friend: As somebody who has befriended the Goddesses, you naturally know who they are and what they are doing at all times.
  • Reah's Friend: As somebody who has befriended the Goddesses, you naturally know who they are and what they are doing at all times.
  • Guardian of the Goddesses: As the Holy Knight of Ys, it is your duty to ensure that no harm ever befalls either of the Goddesses. Every night, you may strike down a target of your choice to remove them from the game.

You win as long as the Goddesses remain alive when the game ends. Best of luck!

Quote from: Sample Role PM
Welcome, Conqueror, to Ys Mafia!
You are White Cat, the Thief of Balduq
(https://i.imgur.com/T44HNzK.png)
You're glad that life is improving for all, you no longer have to rely on their theiving skills to make ends meet for the poor and can instead focus on improving your performances. Yep. That's all you're doing. You're definitely not interested in this meeting of people from all around the world. And you're definitely not planning to sneak a glance at the Goddesses, who have supposedly shown up at this meeting. Curiousity killed the cat, after all...

In addition to your ability to post in thread and vote, you have the following abilities:
  • Superstar: Your performances are always the center of attention. Your performances are always spectacular. Your performances are always an excellent distraction. Every night, you will prevent SIX people from performing any actions. You may target up to TWO people with this ability, and the remainder of the players will be randomly selected.
  • Master Thief: You have a tendency to always be in the right place at the right time and nobody else can ever quite manage to pinpoint where you are. As a result of this, every investigative action performed on you will fail and every other action performed on you has a FIFTY percent chance of failing.

You win as long as you remain alive when any faction achieves their win condition. Best of luck!

New to mafia, why are we lynching on day 1?  Like we don't know anything about anyone and no night kills have happened?
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day One)
Post by: BigBangMeteor on April 14, 2020, 02:48:19 AM
Well if we don't lynch on D1 we essentially just grant the mafia a free kill tonight and aren't in that much of a better position for our D2 lynch unless we get an investigative result. The odds of hitting scum on D1 are generally not good but if we do we have a very good chance of winning, and even if we don't, the interactions from lynching someone improve our chances of hitting scum on D2 by a lot.

Post by: Tom on April 14, 2020, 03:15:52 AM
Like we're going to be down a vote anyways because of the unavoidable nightkill, so why be down 2?  Guessing at random we're pretty much guaranteed to miss, judging from the last Mafia game as there's way less mafia than town.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day One)
Post by: Fabloo on April 14, 2020, 03:16:32 AM
It's too early to assume motives. Thinking in terms of majority numbers this early isn't that useful really. When you talked about I had a more broad definition of it. To me influence is defined by who is determining the lynches as well. Your hesitance seems to be based on the fact you don't want to take a chance on thinning our numbers.

I see what you mean by influencing the votes, mafia will pretty much *always* try and convince us to mislynch.  Ill probably still sit the first day out because the odds are bad but I'll be watching for any signs of mafia.  Since mafia knows who the other members are anyone trying to protect another specific individual should be suspicious since only they'd know who's on their side.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day One)
Post by: Fabloo on April 14, 2020, 03:36:59 AM
Your input matters. You said it yourself actually: mafia will try and make us make the wrong decision. By being proactive we can determine who is trying to do that and who is on our side. To me it is clear that you're not mafia however.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day One)
Post by: NekoNekoRex on April 14, 2020, 03:37:03 AM
Like town will lose influence if we mislynch.
Myslynch is always better than no lynch. As the day progresses (and the game as a whole) the motives of each player will become more clear. While the content of posts is important to this process, moreso is the actual votes lied down. A lynch flipped townie still provides valuable insight, as the scum need to vote townies to win, and almost always a town flip contains scum votes.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day One)

Voting is always better than not voting as well. A vote is often your most powerful tool, even in the face of power roles. Voting is the most reliable method to remove scum from the game, and voting is the best way to express your intent and motive.

Post by: BigBangMeteor on April 14, 2020, 04:28:49 AM
Again the main thing is not really whether we lynch scum today (though obviously that's preferable), but how our chances of hitting scum evolve as the game progresses. Even if we mislynch today, as NNR said, we get a lot more information for tomorrow. We know who voted for them, we know what their reasons were, and we can judge whether those reasons were good or bad. Whereas if we don't lynch anyone, we're basically just waiting for a guilty. And what if we get unlucky and our investigative role dies, or we don't even have an investigative role capable of giving hard guilties?

Also, the more we talk and engage with each other in the thread, the more burden we place on the scum to fake good posts that seem like they're trying to help town. If they just gang up and all vote the same person to try and push a mislynch then it'll become pretty obvious quickly who the scum are. We'll be able to see that they gave some BS reason for wagoning that person and lynch them the next day.

No words of wisdom for Tom, PX?

Also yes you want to still (painfully, awfully) attempt to find scum D1 because within the total mess, mafia have to pretend to scumhunt as well, while also if town just happens to pile decently onto a scummember, even if we lynch town in the end, we can later come back and look at how the scumteam discouraged a certain lynch from occurring and gain loads of delicious information off it

##Vote: zwerdjib

everyone who hasn't posted yet is more likely to be scum than everyone who has posted so far, so i arbitrarily picked one of them :)

(note for newbies: "scum" is what people use to colloquially refer to the mafia, i don't know where this tradition came from but i think it's punchy so i will continue it)
not a fan of this mindset. i'd rather go for someone who's actually around to defend themselves than ppl who've never posted. makes it too easy for scum to mislynch.

Well, er, of course, I have one. After reading the sign-ups list twenty times, it struck out to me. "Tom." That's so short, it can only have been chosen with the express purpose of flying under the radar because it's such a mundane, forgettable, and mostly short name! Clearly, it was scummy.

Also, it's in my role PM.

that's fair, i suppose. was warned about the activity here prior to joining, so it's something i'll have to take into consideration more often. i still don't believe that going for an inactive would be the best move right now, however. on the off-chance that we hit a lazy townie, there's next to no information to gain from it. especially with a mandatory majority ugh

i'll have to see how things go for now. if there's a decent enough case on someone who's present, we'll probably still be at odds. think i feel a bit better about you, though. your reasoning seems genuine.

re:Polly, idk somehow I feel like even a newbie mafia member would know to at least be SLIGHTLY careful as opposed to instant roleclaiming but, I mean, newbies could do anything? but I'm definitely not interesting in voting them for getting pumped on role shenanigans during rvs

Also yes we don't lynch lurkers on day 1. Even at the end of D1 it hasn't been long enough to tell if they're legitimately lurking it out or they were just busy for a day. End of D2 maybe if they're being overly intense about it and we don't have a scummy person (I can definitely recall a game I wanted to hard lynch a lurker d2 and they did turn out to be scum) but i feel like lurker lynches goes into full force on like, d3

nucleus is...strange, to say the least. the pr he's claiming sounds outlandish to me, but fabloo didn't seem too phased by it. do the roles here tend to be more experimental?

overall, it seems more like an inane gambit (he did call it a gambit himself, right? it's not helping his coherence) than a genuine claim to me. whether or not it says anything about his alignment, idfk. usually see this kind of stuff coming from "ambitious" townies, so that's my knee-jerk read. need to hear more from him, but i also don't advise making him the main focus atm. tends to derail things way too quickly.

We're definitely not going to roleclaim but I don't see the harm in gender claiming? I think it would be somewhat lame if there were multiple roles relying heavily on character flavour and there was a scum counterpart to Nucleus's role.

re: gender claiming - wouldn't it be better not to claim if scum has some sort of role relating to this? i suppose (under this assumption) the trade off is we get more informed town power role decisions for more informed scum power role decisions, and i feel like i'd personally rather sacrifice town power role decision-making in order to make scum less useful at night

Lets be more careful of pushing lurker lynches...  I get that the mafia wants to lay low and is likely to lurk but they'd also want to lynch lazy townies since they wouldn't put up much resistance.

Also wouldn't the mafia go after town power roles for their first nightkill?  So better not claim roles unless we have some way of protecting from night actions?

How do I use a quicktopic effectively? How much do I balance what to type in the quicktopic and what to type in thread?
It depends heavily on the role, but generally the amount of time you want to spend in the quicktopic is "as needed".

The best time to use it is during the night phase when you can't actually post in the main thread. You can continue sharing your thoughts and will have something to potentially leave behind if you are nightkilled.

A townie (masons) or neighbor quicktopic doesn't and shouldn't require much upkeep, your thoughts are largely better made in the main thread.
If you read my recent one I mostly spend it doing banter with Dormio or reinforcing my reads. It's useful if you feel your neighbor(s) have stubborn, bad reads and you can try to push them otherwise.

If you are a Non-Town faction and have a quicktopic (like mafia, obviously), the upkeep becomes much higher. Scum requires a lot of collaboration to push their goals, which obviously they can't discuss openly, so the quicktopic will be heavily in use to make plans and work with teammates. The scum's discord log had a pretty large amount of content, somewhat rivaling the main thread, so take that as a good indicator as well.

I agree his behavior is strange. I know nothing about what gender could entail in this setup but his way of pronouncing a bit of his role makes me believe it's important. I don't know what he meant by gambit but part of me believes he was just saving face. It depends whether or not you believe that alone is scummy.

Yes, I wanted to slap Serela around with a smelly fish for that dumb remark. If anything, Day 1 is one of the best days for lynching a lurker because you assert dominance send a strong message to Townies that they better get their butts in the game, and to scum that if they try to coast, we're giving them a one-way ticket to Graveyard Town.

Although my joke on Tom was initially a joke, I am now consolidating it to a more serious vote.

##unvote
##vote: Tom


I get that he's a novice, but I don't quite like the circular reasoning presented just now. "Let's not lynch lurkers because sure, scum might lurk, but they might also push lynches on lurkers", what? That's the kind of reasoning that supports this nonsense MOTK meta where scum just shuts up and waits things out, while the townies fall over themselves. We should definitely lynch all lurkers, and townies should take care not to be lurkers.


I disagree with BBM. We shouldn't claim genders if that helps power someone's role because there's no guarantee that role supports the town. Besides, this is 2020, I identify as cloudgender, thanks very much, stop pushing me into a binary!11!!1!


Serela has once again mastered the art of posting words, stringing them into coherent sentences, and yet saying nothing at all. Waffle iron going hot again! Please be charmingly useless on your own time, this is Mafia time and I want all the townies to put their heads together and work with us here. If your next post is going to be waffles and useless, I'm going to be Very Cross With You. ♡ ( ̄З ̄)

Suggesting we leave lurkscum alone until D3 is like... mrghfh? I'll lynch a lurker Day 1 & Day 2 if I have to, DON'T. LURK.


I think talking about the role is just chewing the fat. It's pointless to speculate at this stage, let's not devolve into playing the role game on Day Freakin' One.

Not a lot of content so far otherwise (thank fire truck, 300 post early d1 hell never again). Pretty strong early town read on Daiya. Tom seems pretty innocent for a newbie so far as well. No comment on Nuke, chalking up his posts to being a total newbie.

Gut is telling me to keep an eye on you, Fabloo, so there's that. Not enough to warrant a vote, however.

Nothing has actually jumped out at me so far though, but it's still early game so that's expected.

Overall I'm still happy to keep my vote on PX, both for metagrudge reasons and that I'm not a fan of his posts anyway.

on lurker lynches, I think our tagline "The scum are scummy and the town stopped playing" is enough of a reason to not completely disregard good lynch bait and only go for lurkers, so in that sense Tom would be wise to be cautious about it on the first day, at least.

I just read that voting lurkers is an easy way to fake scumhunt and avoid suspicion without lurking according to this Mafia Scum (http://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Mini%27s_Scumhunting_Kit#.22Look_at_me.2C_I.27m_so_town.21.22_.28.2B1.0.29)

Early as it may be, the presence represented by some people is striking. You have the clearly experienced end of players latching onto the newcomers and building their own interpretations upon them. I would be unsettled if I were in Tom's position and maybe even Nucleus. This is just how the game has progressed so far. Right now I think both are town.  Sometimes this isn't the case. Bardiche believes Tom's behavior is off due to the way he's concerned about lurkers but to me based on what's been said he would've been provided a bit of coaching by now. Tom's post about going on Mafia Scum about lurking shows a genuine curiosity and interest. His first posts also shown to me he is willing to be engaged. It doesn't seem like there's a figure over him.

What I'm trying to say is that Tom/Nucleus haven't done anything to be scummy and I think that the hypothetical experienced end of the game realizes this. Do you disagree? I also believe there is a stronger likelihood to contain scum in there. Not all. Just some. If Tom/Nucleus were making mistakes or even doing newbscummy things then perhaps things would be different. But they're not. The only content they can make is latching onto these players in ways that seem productive. What I'm trying to understand is who is just genuinely out for Tom/Nucleus' best interest and how is just taking this opportunity to seem "townie."

sorry bard, I've been into bed/out of bed/into bed/out of bed and I'm still half asleep, I don't have the mental capacity to stare at someone and go "well, I think the way you reacted to this completely random vote was slightly weird". ED1 absolutely sucks etc. But I do want to post to clarify active lurking/lurky lurking is different, when you're actually posting and saying nothing that's obviously pretty scummy (e.g. abu and shadoweh d1/2 of the previous game) but what I meant was you don't lynch people who literally aren't present d1 because

A.it's absolutely useless, if they were just distracted IRL for one day you qualify for this d1 and this happens to anyone
B.it's absolutely useless, you get next to zero information for it and go into d2 like "day one, but again"

like if you lynched actiondan d1 last game because he got a prod d1. lmao. you're basically shooting yourself in the foot. (please completely ignore the fact that he flipped scum that is beside the point)

I just read that voting lurkers is an easy way to fake scumhunt and avoid suspicion without lurking according to this Mafia Scum (http://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Mini%27s_Scumhunting_Kit#.22Look_at_me.2C_I.27m_so_town.21.22_.28.2B1.0.29)

But if you insist that MotK mafia behaves differently and that the odds of finding scum are higher I'm willing to vote for lurkers
This is completely true when town lurks. Town should be trying to make an effort to not lurk. Scum lurking, however, is a little more 'tried and true' motk mafia strategy than you might think >_> Plus, I can say this from experience, sometimes as mafia it's exceedingly difficult to try to think of a good post so you give up and just don't make one instead and hope no one notices until at least the NEXT day phase.

i don't think it's actually that bad of a thing to do, but it's weird if there's a person that someone finds scummy but that person is not voting them.

i'm a bit conflicted on fabloo right now. their tone is shady as hell, but i've seen difficult townies like them before. their point about tunneling tom/nucleus makes enough sense, although i don't think it's as extreme as they make it sound considering the infancy of the thread.

idfk why you're being so slippery about dropping names, though. anyone could follow your line of reasoning and pick a couple of people who fit that description, but at the end of the day it only makes you look scummy for sitting back and dropping breadcrumbs instead of giving your genuine reads. just. say them.

Making my vote on Bard serious. Not that new players should be given a free pass but it just seems like a silly reason to vote for a new player. Tom's logic wasn't circular it was just pretty classic newb waffling of "this could be scum but also it could be town". It feels like Bard was trying to make it a bigger deal than it was.

Fabloo, your reasoning for not voting sucks. By that logic there's no point to ever voting anyone until the end of the phase.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day One)
Post by: Yaersulf on April 14, 2020, 11:46:01 PM
Hah, someone agreed with me on Bard, now I feel vindicated! Fwiw it does kind of seem like he's trying to deflect heat off himself onto lurkers, though his point is still pretty valid.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day One)
Post by: Polaris on April 14, 2020, 11:49:08 PM
no yaersulf, i think you're doing fine. bard's posted a couple more times since then, so what do you think about those posts? or anyone else's? if you're not sure how to support your claims, even "i have a gut feeling about x" is fine. what helps is keeping people updated on who you think is suspicious (preferably using your vote), because that's the hardest thing to fake as scum.

cut by bbm and yaersulf, which makes this post mildly outdated, but bbm isn't really "agreeing" with you per se because you voted bard before bard voted tom, and bbm is voting bard for voting tom. :thinking: i guess it sort of applies as an update to your case
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day One)
Post by: BigBangMeteor on April 14, 2020, 11:56:30 PM
Bards point about lynching lurkers is correct but you don't have to be town to talk about general mafia theory. It's not related to his reason for voting Tom.

Btw the correct answer on when to use a solo qt as newbtown is never. It's kind of useful if you're more experienced to get out all your thoughts prior to condensing them into something more streamlined and direct. But I think it's actually better for new players to put everything in the thread so more experienced players know that they're legitimately trying to think through things and not use being new as an excuse to not analyze anything. Plus then more experienced players can give feedback.

I do kind of worry though that I'm going to say something stupid if I throw around accusations and get myself lynched despite being town. My level of experience here is like 5 games of Town of Salem ages ago, and pissing off my extended family when we played mafia a few times by claiming scum day 1 repeatedly.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day One)
Post by: BigBangMeteor on April 15, 2020, 12:38:50 AM
I think as long as you don't claim scum as town you're doing ok. Its also ok to claim scum if you actually are scum

It's just a game don't worry about it that much.

What is turbolynching?
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day One)
Post by: Polaris on April 15, 2020, 01:06:32 AM
turbolynching (aka quicklynching, though turbolynching is like the stronger version) is when people vote someone to majority very quickly, resulting in a lynch without discussion. most often you'll see quicklynches done by scum in lylo in order to secure the win, but there are town quicklynches like in the previous game (where it was obvious that the people being lynched were scum and discussion wasn't really necessary). you might also see it in the context of, like, "oh no we're nearing deadline and there are no wagons, let's quicklynch [scummy person X] guys!!!"

some games have a hammer, but not this one apparently.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day One)
Post by: Polaris on April 15, 2020, 01:20:24 AM
it's usually the case that reaching majority ends the day (but it doesn't seem to be in the rules? if dormio is paying attention he can clarify, but it might just be that it's such an obvious rule that it was overlooked)

an option to end the day prematurely is usually not a part of base mafia rules, but it could be done via some sort of unique role (usually given to scum, since ending the day prematurely means stifling discussion which is generally anti-town)

someone else should discuss, like, what it means to hammer and what the shakedown should be near the end of deadline, teaching mafia is too hard
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day One)
Post by: Tom on April 15, 2020, 01:23:36 AM
In the rules it mentions "Twilight is the time between the hammer and the moderator's flip." so there should be a hammer?
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day One)
Post by: Serela on April 15, 2020, 01:25:35 AM
Nothing is explicitly stated but since nothing says OTHERWISE and there's a rule about post-hammer time, it seems pretty safe to assume the day immediately ends when someone is voted to majority.

you could argue 'game state didn't budge because you guys turbolynched, smothering discussion'

No, not really, I highly doubt there was anything meaningful to say and that's why people were fine with turbolynching. D4 was over as soon as SB posted and indicated he was done playing (not like that was the sole reason it was done, but everything else had happened by then) and nothing of any worth occurred after despite people dragging it out to deadline.

I was looking through the previous mafia game for scum tells when I saw a post by Serela and while I've been able to look up most terms on MafiaScum there was no entry on turbolynching, which is why I asked here

The only question I can see you directing to me is why I thought I was bored by RVS and others werent. I forgot about that question tbh so fair enough although I didn't think it was that serious. My answer to that question is idk, some people can tolerate RVS better than others. I try to ask people questions that at least sound serious so that I can get some kind of vibes or to increase the minuscule odds of someone saying or doing something dumb and getting us going.

I can't see any questions directed to Serela that they ignored, can you point me to that?

@smartbomb ok I thought you were experienced but wanted to confirm
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day One)
Post by: zwerdjib on April 15, 2020, 03:30:26 AM
We're definitely not going to roleclaim but I don't see the harm in gender claiming? I think it would be somewhat lame if there were multiple roles relying heavily on character flavour and there was a scum counterpart to Nucleus's role.

flipped the other way around: if theres no drawback to gender claims, this makes a pr's usage unstoppable, which can be seen as just as lame for a scum team

Yes, I wanted to slap Serela around with a smelly fish for that dumb remark. If anything, Day 1 is one of the best days for lynching a lurker because you assert dominance send a strong message to Townies that they better get their butts in the game, and to scum that if they try to coast, we're giving them a one-way ticket to Graveyard Town.

Although my joke on Tom was initially a joke, I am now consolidating it to a more serious vote.

##unvote
##vote: Tom


I get that he's a novice, but I don't quite like the circular reasoning presented just now. "Let's not lynch lurkers because sure, scum might lurk, but they might also push lynches on lurkers", what? That's the kind of reasoning that supports this nonsense MOTK meta where scum just shuts up and waits things out, while the townies fall over themselves. We should definitely lynch all lurkers, and townies should take care not to be lurkers.


I disagree with BBM. We shouldn't claim genders if that helps power someone's role because there's no guarantee that role supports the town. Besides, this is 2020, I identify as cloudgender, thanks very much, stop pushing me into a binary!11!!1!


Serela has once again mastered the art of posting words, stringing them into coherent sentences, and yet saying nothing at all. Waffle iron going hot again! Please be charmingly useless on your own time, this is Mafia time and I want all the townies to put their heads together and work with us here. If your next post is going to be waffles and useless, I'm going to be Very Cross With You. ♡ ( ̄З ̄)

Suggesting we leave lurkscum alone until D3 is like... mrghfh? I'll lynch a lurker Day 1 & Day 2 if I have to, DON'T. LURK.


I think talking about the role is just chewing the fat. It's pointless to speculate at this stage, let's not devolve into playing the role game on Day Freakin' One.

going to note bards seeming enthusiasm here that then somewhat trails off into a ramble and culminates onto a tom vote, who is not lurking

interesting, to say the least

nucleus is...strange, to say the least. the pr he's claiming sounds outlandish to me, but fabloo didn't seem too phased by it. do the roles here tend to be more experimental?

overall, it seems more like an inane gambit (he did call it a gambit himself, right? it's not helping his coherence) than a genuine claim to me. whether or not it says anything about his alignment, idfk. usually see this kind of stuff coming from "ambitious" townies, so that's my knee-jerk read. need to hear more from him, but i also don't advise making him the main focus atm. tends to derail things way too quickly.
I agree his behavior is strange. I know nothing about what gender could entail in this setup but his way of pronouncing a bit of his role makes me believe it's important. I don't know what he meant by gambit but part of me believes he was just saving face. It depends whether or not you believe that alone is scummy.

the general attitude we have on my homesite is "gambits are 100% town plays that fail 99% of the time" so im going to stick to my guns and assume this is true for this case as well

I just read that voting lurkers is an easy way to fake scumhunt and avoid suspicion without lurking according to this Mafia Scum (http://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Mini%27s_Scumhunting_Kit#.22Look_at_me.2C_I.27m_so_town.21.22_.28.2B1.0.29)

But if you insist that MotK mafia behaves differently and that the odds of finding scum are higher I'm willing to vote for lurkers

i like toms posting so far tbh. hes hedging, but its in a natural way.

Early as it may be, the presence represented by some people is striking. You have the clearly experienced end of players latching onto the newcomers and building their own interpretations upon them. I would be unsettled if I were in Tom's position and maybe even Nucleus. This is just how the game has progressed so far. Right now I think both are town.  Sometimes this isn't the case. Bardiche believes Tom's behavior is off due to the way he's concerned about lurkers but to me based on what's been said he would've been provided a bit of coaching by now. Tom's post about going on Mafia Scum about lurking shows a genuine curiosity and interest. His first posts also shown to me he is willing to be engaged. It doesn't seem like there's a figure over him.

personally, i didnt necessarily like fabloo until this post. why can i only townread people fire truck help

okay i have a gun to my head to go to sleep HELP ME

i will read more tomorrow

see you later

Alright.

were you the person who skipped out on mafia to play mystery dungeon, because if so this is not totally out of the blue i guess *squints eyes* if you really did just not know the game started (as the activity log would tend to suggest) then i won't call you scum for it :v

also smh i was gonna make a post about how i was re-re-thinking tom's posts but now that fabloo posted about it, it would just seem like i'm doing it because of him. smh i thought of it organically, ok??

So given that you know that zwerdjib was scum last game, this statement doesn't really track. Cause I feel like a defining part of zwerdjib's gameplay was him not just being in the thread and instead playing videogames and was why he ended up being scum at the end. So you could probably call it a scum indicator. Whether zwerdjib will agree on that being his meta is a different matter but I'm not sure why you would consider this in particular not alignment indicative.

as I write this I realise there's a really easy answer to this, but, my funeral I guess.

i mean to me it seems obvious that dropping mafia to play video games is something that would be just a general (and extremely relatable) character trait overall regardless of alignment (like i literally just ignored the thread just now to do a boss run in a game). plus if zwj is pumped and raring to go after being prodded like it looks (i haven't read his post yet since i wanted to respond to you first), then that's not really a classic lurker trait.

I agree with Tom, we should no-lynch now and wait better for the abilities to do their thing.

Thanks NNR for answering me about quicktopic upkeep.

I don't understand why there is pressure on Bardiche, and why, conversely, has there not been pressure on meow56, zwerdijib, and disquieted.

These persons have been lurking, and disquieted only contributed by saying 'I am chewing' which is well, not helpful in the lightest sense of the word.

I also don't like how much zwerdijib is swearing, although the new filter is much better.

Meow56 how fast do you type? I personally am quite fast on the keyboard but not exactly too eager because I don't like to make mistakes here. Do you like the Bardiche lynch?

I don't like the Bardiche lynch, I also read the mafiascum wiki but lynching lurkers should not be a policy in games with strong meta tells. We have a player base where many persons know each other and a well-documented player meta history. Therefore it is incorrect to lynch lurkers unless they are actively making the game harmful.

In addition, the mafiascum guide states its only helpful to lynch lurkers when there's a sufficiently large pool of inactive lurkers for scum to hide.
Right now, our only pool of inactives are zwerdijib, meow56, and disquieted.

This should not be a lynch-all-lurkers policy today, it won't exactly be helpful.

Post by: NucleusWaffles on April 15, 2020, 04:20:54 AM
Okay, I have decided.

I am upgrading my vote tentatively from PX to Fabloo.

##Unvote
##Vote Fabloo

My reasoning being, I would like to see Fabloo being more content-posting rather than trying to reset our progress.

I get Fabloo is a very active player who plays by the rulebooks, often correcting us on our misplays.

However, correcting misplays is all he does. He himself, aside from leading a vote on me, only used quite ambiguous means of expressing his discontent including ("I dislike you and I dislike Serela") without actually following up on those leads.



On the subject of leads, I am looking not to lynch lurkers today, which would include zwerdijib, meow56, PX, and disquieted.
However, I am up for lynching the persons who are more active today but seems to be bent on driving attention away from themselves, this seems to include Fabloo, Daiya.

I don't know about these players because they post similarly they sound like the same person, Bardiche, BigBangMeteor

I tentatively read town these people; Polaris and NekoNekoRex

Hi Fabloo, I see you are online. Lets chat?
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day One)
Post by: Polaris on April 15, 2020, 04:52:26 AM
i am amused that nucleus is calling out lurkers even more than i am, even though he's not looking to lynch them. i dunno if i would label them lurkers just yet but i definitely do want to see more posts from meow56 and PX, and also from raikaria (just because it's nice to get fresh opinions, but he said it'll be a while before he can post again, so no pressure yet), and also disqbomb again (are you still there >:( do you have another post lined up)

for now i'll update my fabloo case since i've sort of just been sitting on it (and nucleus voting means we have a proper wagon! wow) i agree with nucleus that fabloo is not actually being proactive on his so called scumreads (if BBM and serela are even his scumreads rather than just "not liking them"). if he was really waiting for a response for his questions then i think it would've been as simple as just asking them "hey please answer this question" (although i agree with BBM that the question that was asked to BBM did not really even seem worth answering) instead of just waiting? fabloo is my #1 for now. vote stays.

i guess i'll put disqbomb somewhere up there because i was really expecting some sort of actual case behind the random vote (like even i could probably make a case on myself if i tried), so it just reads as a poor attempt at a gotcha game (pun on gacha game) that went nowhere.  may as well mention tom here because although he's gotten better, it's mostly from the initial gut feeling i had in addition to his weird insistence on "sitting out the first day". all three of these people share the common theme of "posting without scumhunting", i guess?

that's a good wrap-up post i guess! time to go to bed
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day One)
Post by: Polaris on April 15, 2020, 04:59:52 AM
oh i guess i should touch on bard's wagon. it's also technically a proper wagon now (aside from tom) even though the votes haven't changed, since BBM and yaersulf updated their votes into serious ones :v

well.... i guess i'm not seeing it? i don't think that one post of bard looks too vote-worthy for me, although it's true that this wagon is suffering from the fact that bard hasn't really posted since then. i'll just wait for bard to post. (this should be pretty obvious, but i should note that i've played with bard before, so there is a possibility of bias towards familiarity here.)

ok, going to bed for real

I don't have a case to make. It's just what I was trying to describe earlier. BBM just happened to fit the description to me. There is nothing necessarily wrong with what BBM is doing. Talk to the newbies. Explain mechanics. Change vote and explain why. I think it lacks though. I'm not sure how to put it. A lot of people have been trying to do the same but he's surprisingly stiff. When we tried to conversation earlier he was quick to say something along the lines of "you haven't been trying to interact with me or Serela" despite it not being true. Just seems like he's making it up as he goes along.

When it comes to Serela it's basically like I said. He's excessive. He was like this last game as well but it's different here. His personality comes with a catch this time. It feels like he is relying on too much as a crutch. Doesn't seem natural.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day One)
Post by: BigBangMeteor on April 15, 2020, 05:39:08 AM
I don't like/agree with Fabloo's style of play but he seems too present to be active lurkscum? I just feel like scum wouldn't draw so much attention to the fact that they're not being proactive by posting as often as he is. That's why I'm trying to ask him a bunch of questions to open him up.

Also I hold Bard to a higher standard than Fabloo.

Nucleus what happened between you not liking the Bard lynch to not being able to distinguish between me and him?

~ long-winded mafia theory~

lynching all lurkers is a bad policy but it can be a good idea to default to a lurker lynch if the top lynch candidate claims a role the town doesn't want to lynch. the problem with lynching lurkers is that it's basically a random lynch that gives few interactions to help on further days, particularly if it's done as a policy rather than some kind of late turbowagon. also, holding off on lynching lurkers lets the mod sub them out if possible. however, if you don't lynch lurkers and they don't get replaced you end up having a slot with nothing to go on later in the game that obfuscates things at a point when each lynch is very important.

personally I prefer to let the mod try and sort it out before lynching them. midgame town subs can be pretty useful because they read the thread with a fresh set of eyes but with flips in mind. it's also better to use vigshots on lurkers vs lynches, if they exist.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day One)
Post by: BigBangMeteor on April 15, 2020, 05:47:07 AM
flipped the other way around: if theres no drawback to gender claims, this makes a pr's usage unstoppable, which can be seen as just as lame for a scum team

nah because town roles tend to be weaker than scum roles. also scum can just kill/hook the town role now once they've identified themselves.

I don't have a case to make. It's just what I was trying to describe earlier. BBM just happened to fit the description to me. There is nothing necessarily wrong with what BBM is doing.

I mean, I didn't even realize you were scumreading me and Serela until I specifically asked you.  ??? when I'm scumreading someone I talk about whether their posts changed my read on them, how good the content was, etc.

My biggest question to you is what these interjections matter to you personally. Like in your last post, you spend a good paragraph explaining your take on lynching lurkers, but what does that provide exactly? Having word salad theories are nice talking points but I'm more tuned into how you're taking your own theories into account. Right now there isn't anyone I would consider a lurker nor do I have some comment about it either.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day One)
Post by: Bardiche on April 15, 2020, 06:13:16 AM
Whoo, I wake up and... ugh, there's nowhere near as much content as I'd hoped.

Disagree with Fabloo's reasoning re: coaching. Not that a Scum!Tom wouldn't receive some, but there's only so much "don't say stupid things" can do when newbies to the game haven't a grasp on "what's a stupid thing to say in a Mafia game?" Basically, I don't think coaching would apply to any of his current posts, except maybe "lay low and ignore it."

I think BBM's complaint of "making it a bigger deal than it was" implies there was a plethora of content at the time. So here's a question for BBM: What would a Town!Bard have voted instead? I get the sense you're voting me because I tried to get the game started, and now you're happy sitting on that.

Think NNR is exceedingly lazy for voting me based on me obfuscating the 'tone' of my posts. That's literally not voting based on actual content. I'd done things at the time, why did you not hit on those points? The complaint of "no content from PX" is also baffling considering at the time, PX engaged with one of two pieces of content: discussion on the gender-role. The other piece, of course, was arguing if we should lynch lurkers. Saying he had no content, while simultaneously having no content himself makes NNR look pretty suspicious.

"Bard is suss, thoughts?" is a classic scum way of throwing strawberries on someone but then letting others make the case for lynching. Yaerself, if you want to contribute but don't know what to do, try posting your opinions. It doesn't matter if they're wrong, because Something >>>> Nothing.

I think Tom's been more concerned with game mechanics so far while spectacularly commenting not-at-all on the game itself. Welcome to Active Lurking while arguing we shouldn't lynch lurkers.

Serela has also been useless and lazy. Why single out Fabloo if "everyone" is empty-unvoting, Serela? If you don't need a good reason to vote people, then why did you not comment on BBM's vote, considering he is literally accusing me of needing a good reason to vote at the time I did? If you really believed "any reason is a good reason", I feel it's weird you ignored that.

Leaving my vote on Tom because I'd like for him to quit asking about game mechanics and actually weigh in with his opinion on things. Who do you think is scum, and why do you think that?
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day One)
Post by: Tom on April 15, 2020, 06:29:30 AM
I think you are scum because you lied in your initial accusation claiming to know roles, and while it might have been a joke lies hurt the town.  Secondly you've been homing on to me more than a Hakurei Amulet, instead of going after better targets.  By your own theory you should be lynching lurkers and zwerdjib was a far better candidate even getting prodded by the mod!  Most likely pushing for a mislynch because I'm new.

I wasn't going to vote for anyone on day one because I don't like the odds but as long as your vote is on me, mine will be on you.

The mod prodded zwerdjib a few hours after I posted. How should I know of this in advance? I don't think you know how "lynch all lurkers" works. For one, more than 24 hours need to have passed to really qualify someone as a "lurker".

But what I'm really interested in is this line:

Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day One)
Post by: Bardiche on April 15, 2020, 07:21:35 AM
So... are you agreeing there's no better targets than you? Just... trying to get this one straight, here.

And that's not picky at all. "Lynch all lurkers" isn't a game of hot potato, where you vote whoever's been gone the longest. That's not even remotely trying to catch scum. I'd be happy to discuss the strategy at length, but in the middle of the game is simply not the appropriate time. Afterwards, yes? For now, the abbreviated version is:

"Lynch all lurkers" doesn't mean "exclusively lynch people who lurk", and it doesn't mean "exclusively vote people who say very little". It does mean that given the choice of lynching someone "who's slightly scummy" and someone "who does nothing", I'd prefer to go with the latter, as the former's future behaviour can inform whether they are just slightly scummy, or hella scummy. Just piling onto one without even attempting to find scum will just lead into going Night 1 as if only 14 players signed up, which doesn't help. The reasoning people use to vote right now (whether on me, or someone else) can be useful later on. Slightly suspect reasons for voting now could, combined with suspect reasons every vote, lead into finding the scum on Day 3.

I read the past games thoroughly, or maybe not that thorough, but I realise that despite so many persons being online now too much activity is not necessarily good.

In fact, based on my reread of the old games and quicktopics most players can't be bothered to read too many pages of text.

So um, basically I want to talk to you directly. About your reads and things.

Because I think we are caught in a funny situation now;

Our last game was too long on D1, but it was effective in terms of winning that game.

However, the commitment is scaring people off playing the next game, as shown by how much longer the recruitment for this game took.

But for some people like myself, the appeal of this kind of game is exactly because it is not like Discord or Reddit or 4chan, the kind of forum-ish, 2000-esque aesthetic that takes time to read.

Basically, I want to talk to the experienced old people about how they feel they are getting a hang on the reads and games. Because clearly Bardiche you played many years ago, and you was a better player than a mod, so I want to know what you think of things now.

As an aside I don't get where the "Bard is a good player" fantasy comes from because I am almost always at risk of being lynched, in fact, I expire more from being (mis)lynched than being NK'd.

However, that being said Bardiche you are a very valid wagon on D1, so why should we not lynch you?

At least, maybe we can have some fun chatting about other wagons, then an in-depth explanation would convince us to switch and lynch the lurkers?

Who's scummy?  Well you since you've nitpicked through my posts for single phrases I didn't give much thought into writing like "instead of going after better targets."  These are actions fitting of someone desperate to drive the blame away from themselves and are willing to throw newer players under the bus to do so.

Disquieted raised an eyebrow because they haven't posted much and only initiated the conversation with something along the lines of "I am chewing" and were likely to leave it at that if no one pressed them further.  Nothing personal against them, just that out of context post seemed very much like an attempt to reset the prod timer.

Polaris and Fabloo are town in my opinion, they're driving the investigation and generally willing to put themselves out there, something mafia wouldn't do as the more they post the more quotable evidence they leave for later to be recalled upon.

I really recommend not relying on Mafiascum game theory for your play / thoughts.

I also will insist that we are lynching today. Lynching is the town's factional kill and wasting it gives the scum basically a free kill.

They also have two week long game days compared to our three, and we all know how that pans out...

Okay, so lemme get this straight. You say there are two reasons you vote me:

1) I lied about my role PM.

2) I went after you instead of better targets.

And now you're complaining I "nitpick" for pressing you on that second point? Is this correct? And you "didn't give much thought to it" despite it being 50% of your case on me?

And...

Bard is getting pretty defensive and I'm not sure how I should judge that? Especially since he seems to be getting way more pissed off then needed at a newbie calling him smug.

I don't agree with his interpretation of my vote either. The post seemed to be filled with un-serious fluff to hide the serious content, but now his content is just... as above. It doesn't feel genuine to me.

I still have kind of bad gut on Fabloo, for Gut Reasons, but it's hard to say for sure since my only experience was in the the midgame part of the last game.

Meow stands out as someone who hasn't put out much content. I'd say the same with Yaer but he has kind of put out a few effort posts.

There's still no PX, but it's hard to say anything about him since I'm blatantly biased.

Uh, is it scummy to be miffed when the first thing someone writes to you is, "You're smug"? I'm not angry, it's just ironic, considering I suck at this game.

Am I genuinely the only one who sees Tom go, "Secondly, you go after me instead of better targets", followed by, "Hey hold up, it's nitpicking to hold me to account on that"? Look, if he's going to say there are two reasons to vote me, and one of them is I "go after him instead of better targets", I think it's pretty scummy to say holding him to account over claims is nitpicking.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day One)
Post by: raikaria on April 15, 2020, 08:34:01 AM
I'm here, I'm awake.

Going to address a few main points I've seen:

1: 'Lynch all lurkers'

MotK Scum have a very strong habit of lurking and coasting. What happens quite often, especially on Day 1 is two active townies end up caseing each other, or having cases form on them, simply because they're the only content to scumhunt on. Day 1 ends in Town v Town wagons.

I'm saying this fully aware that I probably qualify as lurking right now; but I'm also giving people updates about my shifts and such. I work in healthcare; so things are a little zany right now at work.

2: The Bard wagon.

And this seems to be a perfect example of what I've said above. Bard seems to be the first person to try and make an actual case, and as a result; several people who don't agree with his case and the fact he's stuck his neck out to try and end RVS, have jumped on him.

Rule of thumb: Generally the person willing to draw attention to themselves and move town onto actual useful discussion is town. Or a least it's a towntell. Even if the case is weak/bad. It's not like much else can be made to end RVS.

3: I wouldn't lean on mafiascum as gospel. It dosen't take into account habits of groups.

4:
I'd still like to no lynch the first day, I'm only voting you because you voted for me.

I agree with Tom, we should no-lynch now and wait better for the abilities to do their thing.

In addition, the mafiascum guide states its only helpful to lynch lurkers when there's a sufficiently large pool of inactive lurkers for scum to hide.
Right now, our only pool of inactives are zwerdijib, meow56, and disquieted.

This should not be a lynch-all-lurkers policy today, it won't exactly be helpful.

No-Lynch is an awful idea. It's a town-controlled kill. It gives us information about relations and such, even if it flips town. Lynching town obviously is not ideal, but it's much better to lynch town and get information now than to make that mistake later in the game. Town have mislynches for a reason. Furthermore; it lowers the pool for town-aligned power roles to target, such as Cops; or a Doc to get a lucky killblock.

Also not quite sure why Waffles excludes me from the 'inactives' list.

Now; onto my vote:

I'd still like to no lynch the first day, I'm only voting you because you voted for me.

Who's scummy?  Well you're in first place Bard since you relentlessly attack me with posts watered down with prose like you're trying to hide behind your own words.  Your first posts seemed very artificial like you didn't know how to word them properly without seeming suspicious and opted to drown out the suspicion in white noise by means of word count.  You nitpick through my posts, latching onto single phrases I didn't give much thought into writing like "instead of going after better targets."  These are actions fitting of someone desperate to drive the blame away from themselves and are willing to throw newer players under the bus to do so.

Disquieted raised an eyebrow because they haven't posted much and only initiated the conversation with something along the lines of "I am chewing" and were likely to leave it at that if no one pressed them further.  Nothing personal against them, just that out of context post seemed very much like an attempt to reset the prod timer.

Polaris and Fabloo are town in my opinion, they're driving the investigation and generally willing to put themselves out there, something mafia wouldn't do as the more they post the more quotable evidence they leave for later to be recalled upon.
I'll be off for today, happy scumhunting~

There's so much in this post I do not like at all:

1: Pushes for NL. I explained why I do not like that above. NL is denying Town information and giving mafia a free kill.

2: Outright admits his vote on Bard is pure OMGUS. 'I'm only voting you because you voted me'. Also; in mafia you're supposed to nitpick through posts. To find things that may be indicators of scum, or inconsistancies, and so on.

This isn't strictly a scumtell; but a personal dislike of mine is giving out hard townreads. This paints a target on the backs of these players for mafia to kill.

3: But what I do find scummy here is the reason. Polaris and Fabloo are town for trying to drive the investigation, but Bardiche isn't town for trying to drive the investigation [He was the first to try and get us out of RVS and make an actual case] because his case is on Tom and therefor; he must be scum.

4: He says scum wouldn't post much to leave evidence that can be used later. This conflicts with his push for NL [Surely this opinion is congruent with a Lynch all Lurkers policy?] and it also conflicts with his Bard vote; as Bard *is* sticking his neck out. Which he says scum wouldn't be doing. This is an inconsistancy.

Thy Goddess blesses thee with her presence.

The child known as Tom seems as a lost lamb to Us, thus We will allow their transgressions to pass while he learns to stand on his feet. The confrontation with Bardiche looks as misguided infighting to Us.

Thy Goddess blessed all with their proper roles, it is for them to to discern their purpose and no others to learn of and misguide them.

The child known as Serela has said many words without saying much. I look forward to seeing more to discern if thy words are Our teachings or blasphemy against the Goddesses.

Thy Goddess shalt turn Our condemnation towards the being NNR. Thy words contain naught but emptiness and Sloth. Thy vote on Bardiche contains no substance nor reason to stand upon. As such, We bring Our power upon thee.

All these new players are looking for pointers and/or tips. Look, here's what's going to happen:

We're going to lynch someone, probably someone in the perceived lower half of skill level of the players in the game that had the most uninspired d1 by tone and/or volume; hopefully we're right.

The mafia are going to kill someone, probably BBM if he's a villager and/or has something that could be minimally construed as a powerful role, and then some other stuff may or may not happen and we'll have NK/mechanical stuff to talk about

It's hard to gin up enthusiasm when the real game isn't actually going to start for the better part of 48 hours, and having Bardiche act like he's all clever for voting Tom because there's a 25% chance he could be right and have gotten in on the ground floor is tiring.

Alright, that makes me feel better. Apologies to Bardiche. Lemme see what I can write.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day One)
Post by: Disquieted on April 15, 2020, 10:41:15 AM
Here's some real thoughts.

What I pushed on with Polaris is a gotcha moment. My point is that, well, you make a point. I just don't know why it exists. And that's very problematic.

The point is "right, you were the one who skipped out to play mystery dungeon" (and what I ended up alluding to, spoiled, was me realising that Polaris was getting zwerdjib confused with Nuxl. But he didn't pick up on that, so I digress, let's continue on.) I think in most circumstances - and especially regarding zwerdjib - is that zwerdjib kinda just doesn't want to show up and play as mafia. And that's what Polaris is implying, right?

Quote
were you the person who skipped out on mafia to play mystery dungeon, because if so this is not totally out of the blue i guess *squints eyes* if you really did just not know the game started (as the activity log would tend to suggest) then i won't call you scum for it :v

Yeah. He's saying that doing that sort of thing is normally scummy, but cause he didn't actually know the game started, he's giving him a free pass.

It feels... empty. Throwaway, if you will. If I was reading zwerdjib the number one thing I would be thinking of is how interested he would be playing this game, right? The fact that zwerdjib didn't show up is, hm, how do I put this, I don't end on a "ehh zwerdjib isn't really scummy" here. Just feels kind of not very deep in considering zwerdjib's alignment.

And that's kind of a pattern really. I don't really think he believes his case on Fabloo, which is a thing I guess. Like I'm reading through what he's saying and he's not really sure how to start Day 1 but this isn't really how... I... would fabricate a case on Day 1 even if I'm really struggling to get into this game. Like he's really thinking about this game, but I'm trying to track his progression on Fabloo and I'm not really seeing how he feels so comfortable on his read. I can't even explain his read on Fabloo cause quite frankly, I can't even tell you what his logical read on Fabloo is in terms of -> this is definitively scum because...

Like in my opinion it's literally a case to be a case. It's not really indicative of any sort of genuine scumhunting and I'm not very comfortable with it. I'm also marginally not comfortable with his treatment of myself, right? I'm not being very genuine up until now and his expression is of... disappointment? Like what stops me from being just a very dumb mafia member? I guess nothing really, but the disappointment kind of doesn't track sitting from an alignment neutral standpoint.

In general Polaris has a very showboaty, perfunctory tone. And that's fine. Maybe I'm not used to it. But it niggles at me, and I hope that's fine.

Anyways. That's that. I don't really want it to be a proper case even though I wrote a lot of words on it and I don't really want Polaris lynched today. You can see my actual thoughts on that matter above. But it's definitely thoughts that I should convey.

Post by: Disquieted on April 15, 2020, 10:54:00 AM
As I alluded to, I'm not really paying attention to anything between Bardiche and Tom. It's an unfortunate habit I've picked up and I should be paying attention but I don't have the effort to do so, cause what I'm skimming from it is that it's getting kind of, um, not very conducive to alignment solving. To be polite. I think, anyways. I don't really want to look further into it.

I kind of think like, ignoring whatever I'm trying to ignore, that Tom is really really townie, I'd be surprised if he's pushing these moves as scum. Hard to really say what I'm really thinking here but there's some sort of energy that I'm seeing that really makes him feel townie, let's leave it at that. Bardiche was kind of shifty, sure, and the votes on him are warranted, but he's doing something right now and I don't really think it's scummy but it's something that that's probably going to get him mislynched on Day 1. I don't even know how to express how I find it towny, it's just really a self-centred view and if I'm plotting what he wants it's a very "I have a vote, tell me to move it" and that's, honestly, not fantastic on a logical bent, but he's definitely searching for something here and that is towny of him. I don't know, I don't really want to explain this read because it feels like nonsense that you shouldn't be reading from me. But there it is.

I feel uncomfortable in particular that meow came in, offered a comment that was kind of insightful really from my memory, and just... left. Cause it means he can do better, and it feels like he's underplaying on purpose for that reason, and that doesn't feel... good. Yaersulf is I suppose a character, but the people I'm not familiar with like Tom and NucleusWaffles I at least feel some sort of a vibe from and that's something I can easily do with people that are town that I'm familiar with. Yaersulf, I don't really have anything to say. I guess something can happen eventually.

I could talk about theory but every time I see it I don't really feel like I would be contributing anything less than is necessary to the conversation. You guys have the general gist covered, I suppose.

I don't understand why there is pressure on Bardiche, and why, conversely, has there not been pressure on meow56, zwerdijib, and disquieted.

I don't like the Bardiche lynch, I also read the mafiascum wiki but lynching lurkers should not be a policy in games with strong meta tells. We have a player base where many persons know each other and a well-documented player meta history. Therefore it is incorrect to lynch lurkers unless they are actively making the game harmful.



However, that being said Bardiche you are a very valid wagon on D1, so why should we not lynch you?


That said this looks like a weird pivot. Mind explaining your thoughts Nucleus?

Post by: zwerdjib on April 15, 2020, 12:45:32 PM
Alright.

So given that you know that zwerdjib was scum last game, this statement doesn't really track. Cause I feel like a defining part of zwerdjib's gameplay was him not just being in the thread and instead playing videogames and was why he ended up being scum at the end. So you could probably call it a scum indicator. Whether zwerdjib will agree on that being his meta is a different matter but I'm not sure why you would consider this in particular not alignment indicative.

as I write this I realise there's a really easy answer to this, but, my funeral I guess.

no

while i was demotivated to play that game off the merit that i rolled scum for the 4th time in a row, its also not like i had any free time to do so

and yes i am going to justify my actions postgame because i think you need the full picture to actually attempt to metaread me (which is not happening this time, either)

I woke up a bit late and am running out of time to actually make a post after catching up. My problem with the Tom wagon isn't that he's playing well and that there aren't holes in his play to poke at. It just feels really easy and doesn't feel like there's actual scum intent behind Tom's play so much as a new guy flailing around and not knowing what to do.

Raikaria basing his Tom vote primarily on him OMGUSing Bard (which he definitely did do) falls into that category imo.

Bard's vote bothered me because it felt like he was using a buzzword (circular logic) that wasn't even applicable to make the vote. Granted that there wasn't that much else going on at the time. I thought his other posts were generally ok though. Also if he's subbing out this is a dead vote until someone subs in. Sigh.

##Unvote

I don't like empty unvoting but I need to read the thread again prior to voting. My first impression of the Raikaria wallpost was negative, but might be basing it too much off who he chose to vote rather than why. Need to read NNR again. Can someone link to the one post Meow made? I totally missed that.

If people could elaborate on this example of Tom playing well, I would appreciate it, because as far as I am aware, making a case [which contradicts your own other points] and outright admitting it's mostly OMGUS isn't playing well.

Quote
I..really don't know why you would say this when the thread is already so bare that a quick relook could show that I have asked something of both of you only to be ignored.
wait did you
Look, I'm reading you back and you asked me a question which, not only did I respond to, but you also responded to my response. I don't know what you're talking about.
Do you mean when you asked if I was suggesting we don't lynch a lurker d1??? I can't imagine you mean this though :S Because
A.I talked plenty about lurker semantics after that since everyone kept bringing it up
B.There's no way someone could seriously expect that on Page 2 I'm trying to line out solid criteria over what should and shouldn't be the d1 lynch to the point where it could be indicative of my alignment

although yes it would be stupid to lynch someone d1 because of, for example, what happened with zwerdjib, which is basically the only thing I was ever trying to say. anyway I'm not diving back into semantics, APPARENTLY, I HAVE FOUR MORE PAGES OF MAFIA TO READ SINCE AFTER I WENT TO BED??? how

ok starting page 6. First, no, no-lynch is basically never a good idea. (some people might argue in mylo it's a good idea, which is a gamestate where "if you lynch town, scum wins, if you no-lynch the game continues" but scum are just gonna nk someone beneficial to themselves...) ...the entire rest of the post is lurker semantics and I only just woke up after my first night's sleep in 4 days, I can't dive back into this, i hope someone else answered

I feel like disquieted is barking up a very strange tree here with his Polly questioning, and I mean that in the kind of "i don't see why town would find this a valid point worth pursuing". However he hasn't voted polly or posted in awhile after this so I'll have to see what occurs later

Fabloo never answered BBM about the supposed question I was ignoring that can't be found? :C Considering he's using this as a reason I'm apparently scummy this is Unfortunate?

Quote from: Bardiche
Serela has also been useless and lazy. Why single out Fabloo if "everyone" is empty-unvoting, Serela? If you don't need a good reason to vote people, then why did you not comment on BBM's vote, considering he is literally accusing me of needing a good reason to vote at the time I did? If you really believed "any reason is a good reason", I feel it's weird you ignored that.
Fabloo did it most recently, and it was still early enough in the game (barely not RVS) I didn't care to delve harder than that. Fabloo himself then legitimized the vote for me with his next post which I proceeded to respond to with more criticism. At this point I'd say my vote on Fabloo is about as serious as one can expect an ED1 vote to be, because he's still being... weird? I'm suspicious because I'm 'extra' for voting his empty unvote? Oh noooo serela used caps in a post barely out of rvs. He's also still (at this point of my reread) not voting anyone, saying me and BBM are suspicious for ignoring questions I can't find and he won't point out himself, and are probably just unimportant noise that got half-answered passively?

tom/bard's slapfight makes me groan because it's more lurker semantics which honestly the topic is MASSIVELY over-obsessed with right now, why are we still talking about this so much, why does it matter, can it just be left until we, you know, maybe someone is ACTUALLY suggesting a lurker who truly exists should maybe get lynched. talking about semantics at game start when there's no better topics is cool and all but now it's just semantics slapfights with a bunch of newbies who don't even understand what they're talking about and it's a waste of threadspace

entering page 7:ok we have multiple newbies who still want to no-lynch, and again, no, lynches are very important for town to improve their future scumhunting ability through info and analyzable wagons and etc

Quote from: px
The child known as Tom seems as a lost lamb to Us, thus We will allow their transgressions to pass while he learns to stand on his feet. The confrontation with Bardiche looks as misguided infighting to Us.
basically full agree here
i also have zero interest in the bard wagon, I think it holds no water

OH HEY disquieted is returning to the Polly thing! and... wait... he types a huge thing and I'd probably be voting him (well, no, I like my fabloo vote, but I'd be interested in voting him too at least) if he voted Polly at the end but instead he just... deflates and says 'eh this isn't that big but I guess I should say it, not really a case, don't really want to lynch polly', and while on one hand I guess that's arguably better than voting Polly because I actually agree with his end conclusion like this more than if he did say it was pretty scummy, he also uh

spent all of his game effort up to now to say that, he still has no opinion about anything...??? ...this is basically scummy active lurking at this point??

bard replacing out :'(

ok disquieted posts again immediately after this with a lot more opinions on stuff so this ISN'T scummy active lurking, I still don't like that he seems to have literally no actual vote preferences though which isn't good, and then... oh now he's depressed and leaving aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa why is the game already falling apart normally it takes a few more days for everyone to get upset at everyone else

Quote from: BBM
I woke up a bit late and am running out of time to actually make a post after catching up. My problem with the Tom wagon isn't that he's playing well and that there aren't holes in his play to poke at. It just feels really easy and doesn't feel like there's actual scum intent behind Tom's play so much as a new guy flailing around and not knowing what to do.
another perfect match of how i feel about things re:Tom right now

wait is there an actual tom wagon, ok here's a votecount and; ok bard's angry omgus and rai being rai, eh, both neutral then

no Rai, it's not tom playing "well", it's tom being a newbie being new and coming to incorrect conclusions, which is pretty neutral, it would be a pretty lame d1 lynch. I don't actually think he's TOWN off any of these but I don't see any reason to think he's scum either.

OK! I've made it to the end of the thread. The people I have lynch interest in after this:Fabloo, Disquieted. Definitely moreso Fabloo tho'. Yes there's other stuff going on that might be worth mentioning but 5 pages of mafia at once has successfully tired out my brain and I don't have any terribly interesting opinions right now about the other bits anyway, if you have a question about anything in particular you can ask and then I can make a focused response about one individual thing, much easier zzzzzzzzzzzz

Welp. I was half convinced that Nucleus and Bardiche were both scum engaged in some kind of theatrical misdirection, now I have no idea what to think.

##Unvote

That said this looks like a weird pivot. Mind explaining your thoughts Nucleus?

One thing is that I'll scratch my head looking at these posts in quick succession.

I, uh.

They're certainly posts.

Made.

In this thread.

I don't know what else to say. When someone says they don't know what to think and then proceeds to go onto a new thought immediately I kind of have to uh, lose the plot for a bit.

Oh you were ALREADY voting Polaris. Sorry. I was mostly only thinking about new posts. I never really noticed you voting him in the past.

Anyway I'm still more interesting in voting Fabloo and also I LITERALLY feel hungover from processing 5 pages of mafia after waking up

I wish I could talk about Fabloo but I'm kind of squinting at your response and not really getting it and I don't really want to think about Fabloo as mafia today in the same way that I either don't want to really lynch Polaris, it takes too much effort and I don't really feel like Fabloo is a problem. You want some lip-service, I'm not completely content to lock Fabloo in as town, so, uh, go off I guess. :V I am not content to lock anyone in as anything. I have no idea who's getting lynched today and whether I should be OK with it.

I should go.

im disappointed. you show hints of actual aggression but you use none of them to supplement your reads. or you have no idea whats happening, and at this point i should ask you to reread thread and get some insight on others... but if i had to assume, based on how our previous game went, this is very dissimilar to how you played as town. granted, this is early d1, and you didnt start until mid d4 ish (?), but i still think its worth noting that i do, in fact, think youre not town, by a reasonable margin.

this isnt active denial; i just dont see why youre jumping onto fabloo like this. feels kind of omgusy, but in a bad way. like youre hoping someone will fill in the blanks for you while you try to case fab.

missed latter half of this. doesnt entirely change my read, though, just acknowledging this post was made.

"feels like effort" ok so this is the setup for when you want to use the fallback option of "lynch all lurkers"

Meow56 how fast do you type? I personally am quite fast on the keyboard but not exactly too eager because I don't like to make mistakes here. Do you like the Bardiche lynch?
I... don't know what typing speed has to do with anything. But regarding the Bardiche wagon, I'm not exactly sure where it came from? I don't think Tom nor Yaersulf had exceptional reasons for voting him: Tom voted him as OMGUS, and Yaersulf voted him for "being quick to point fingers" which doesn't make a whole lot of sense considering the two posts he had made at the time were "Random Vote" and "Defend Random Vote".

BBM: https://shrinemaiden.com/index.php?topic=123.msg4441#msg4441

Gonna assemble a TTS list, be back soonish.

(also, I personally prefer "meow56" even at the start of a sentence. "Meow56" just looks kinda weird to me.)

BBM. This is the second time I've directly responded to you and been ignored. Yes I do pay attention to what others say.

Serela. I just don't believe in your conviction. You're using a predisposed personality to extend your thoughts right now. Your problem with me empty unvoting felt tacked on and when I called you out on this you argued semantics. You're still doing that now. I really don't know if you believe in me being number one scum over empty unvoting because the rest of your wall isn't much.

Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day One)
Post by: Serela on April 15, 2020, 04:09:38 PM
i thought i'd be better after a night of sleep but i'm still pretty tired and out of it, i'll remember my fabloo stance and go back to bed

fabloo's scummy-reads (as in i mean less than scumreads but anyway moving on) had to be pulled out of him, and he says we're scummy because we were... being nice to newbies and ignoring fabloo's questions? Apparently we must be 'faking' being nice to new players which I can't really fathom, and even when BBM asks Fabloo what he meant by the latter Fabloo doesn't actually answer, even though it should be simple as pointing out what we didn't answer. The only possibilities seem to be vague rvs unimportantance that already got half-answered anyway (at least in my case).

I guess this doesn't explicitly explain why it's SCUMMY but like, the point here is I think his reasoning doesn't make sense, he isn't trying to work with us (being very unclear about the ignored questions, and not answering when asked what it is), he's self-distancing from his suspicion by not actually voting either of them even though it's not only fine but expected to vote your weak suspicions in ED1- by the way, can I note it's pretty weird that a third of the game is not voting still? That's not like, a usual thing that happens in day 1.

he hasn't posted in several pages so I don't think I can say much more about it than this
oh I just got cut by fabloo
"number one scum"??? i'm not implying i have a slam dunk case here, we're a day out of rvs, but I'm voting what I have, unlike you. Empty unvoting is not good, but then your response was defending empty unvoting even though you apparently had suspicions that you were refusing to elaborate on. That's a pretty decent out-of-rvs vote for me imo. Now you've elaborated, and I think it's bad, so I'm still voting you. What does "using a predisposed personality to extend thoughts" even MEAN, I literally do not know how to parse this sentence

I think what you're seeing and what I'm seeing is not matching up. This is a problem. I could hold you accountable for this but poking you with certain words seems to be giving a negative effect. I wasn't sure if you were just always like this and that may just be the case. I'm not making strong statements either you know. I only know so much. I only know what's in front of me. Is it wrong of me to make assumptions and see what others think? That's been my agenda so far but it doesn't work if nobody picks up on it.

From what I see you're convinced that my words about people being overly courteous to newbies was a direct shot at you and BBM. At this point I don't know what you're thinking. Can you summarize your problems with me like I have tried to do so with mine?
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day One)
Post by: Fabloo on April 15, 2020, 04:21:51 PM
It's just strange to me that because I said I disliked you/BBM that your instant response is that everything that lead up to that very moment was just subtext to accuse you/BBM. This isn't true at all. They were just comments I threw out to see what others would think. It turns out not so much. I actually disliked you for more individual reasons yet you seem to be associating yourself with BBM for some reason.

i think i'm pretty comfortable with voting tom, atm. his arguments on their own aren't particularly scummy, but i also feel that he isn't really approaching this game with a scumhunting mindset, which i find odd considering that he's been doing his homework. as far as newbies go, yaersulf's approach feels more genuine to me, for juxtaposition's sake

but yeah, ##vote: tom

Man I feel bad cuz I keep missing fabloos questions

My biggest question to you is what these interjections matter to you personally. Like in your last post, you spend a good paragraph explaining your take on lynching lurkers, but what does that provide exactly? Having word salad theories are nice talking points but I'm more tuned into how you're taking your own theories into account. Right now there isn't anyone I would consider a lurker nor do I have some comment about it either.

It doesn't provide anything really. That's why I put it at the end to signify that it was separate from actual content

Post by: BigBangMeteor on April 15, 2020, 06:10:39 PM
Looking at Raikaria's vote again it's ok actually though I don't agree with it there's more effort than I thought originally.

I think smartbombs point about meow is pretty good. His posts so far are competent but like... Overly focused on small parts of the game? I think I'll wait for the Post That Was Promised before voting him.

I'm not super worried about smartbomb atm but we'll see how his posts progress as the day/game progresses. I can kind of empathize with his general malaise at this stage of the game and I haven't played with him before so can't tell if it's out of the ordinary this early in the game.

Smartbomb can you summarize how you feel about Polaris? I think you said you don't feel good about it but you're still voting him?

Can someone remind me how to ISO on this forum? Phoneposting is a struggle

if you click on their username to go to their profile and hit "show posts", it usually works as an ISO (although they might be posting in other threads, which can be a bit distracting)

to be honest i keep thinking that it's almost deadline so i keep wanting to post about consolidating, but we still have plenty of time so i'm getting my wires crossed :/ like i finished catching up and was about to post with an interest check for the fabloo wagon (afaict it seems like a lot of people are giving him a pass for now?) but i guess it's not really time for that yet.

fabloo's status hasn't really changed from his recent posts. if anything has changed, it's that i had a night of sleep (though it wasn't very restful) and i'm taking into account BBM's opinion that it could be unlikely for scum to keep drawing attention to the fact that they aren't being proactive. (i would totally sheep BBM's vote here btw... IF HE HAD ONE.) coupled with the latest conversation with serela, i would judge fabloo's style of communication as not actually matching up with my style of communication, which could be a source of bias.

i thought fabloo would have actually done something related to disqus (this is my new nickname for disquietedakasmartbomb now) within the past hour since he posted about it? one thing that stands out to me is that he seemed to read disqus as town (unless "better halves" means something else) but he seems to change his stance for no apparent reason following the zwj vote, which i don't understand. i'll wait for more on that.

the other big thing that happened is bard vs. tom which... i don't really want to touch and also bard replacing out leaves a bad taste in my mouth. if people want my opinions on it i can post them, but i think it might just distract me.

i think i'm taking way too much time on this post so i'll call it here for now. one final note is that PX looks a little suspicious to me. HMMMMMM.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day One)
Post by: Polaris on April 15, 2020, 06:54:14 PM
ok i just looked at PX's, like, three posts and i guess the really only suspicious thing is low content and falling under the radar really. NNR vote is "fine" per se but i want to keep it in mind for future vote analyses (i.e. after a flip)

Really now?  I've been pointing at Scum!Bard the entire first day how can you even *think* of claiming I'm not hunting scum?
His low quality posts, filled with a lot of words that obscure the point and his renentless attack on me started over some technicality of the game concerning lurkers.  He is using me as a scapegoat for his low quality posts and avoid actually scumhunting anyone else.

As for my opinions on others, PX raises a little concern with some low quality posts and raikaria has been quite passive and semi lurking.

no offense tom but you didn't do anything the entire first day. bard had an entirely serious vote on you here (https://shrinemaiden.com/index.php?topic=123.msg4412#msg4412) and none of your posts relate to bard until he posted again right before here (https://shrinemaiden.com/index.php?topic=123.msg4524#msg4524) where you retcon your rvs jokevote into being serious all along?

this is why posting reads and opinions is important, otherwise you get stuff like this which is impossible to follow from an onlooker standpoint. it's, like, almost textbook scummy?

The "better halves" comment is a joke made about last game where people thought I was disquieted before he replaced in. I hate to say this but I think your scumread on me is largely based on the fact you don't know how to read my playstyle therefore if you prod me enough maybe some understanding will come from it.

One thing is that I'll scratch my head looking at these posts in quick succession.

I, uh.

They're certainly posts.

Made.

In this thread.

I don't know what else to say. When someone says they don't know what to think and then proceeds to go onto a new thought immediately I kind of have to uh, lose the plot for a bit.

I guess it's scummy. I. Guess.

To clarify, the second post (bringing up the idea that Nucleus was covering for Bardiche) was the kind of thing I was thinking of posting before Bard dipped. I wasn't going to post it after that but then I changed my mind because I wanted to at least bring it to light and maybe get some information out of Nucleus. I can totally see why it seemed weird to you though lol.

Post by: Tom on April 15, 2020, 09:35:18 PM
Whose vote?  Well Bardiche's isn't that obvious from what the post is responding to?  As for who hes direction attention away from?  Himself obviously.

Now this post was a complete waste of my time as you could have easily inferred every bit of this from my original post...
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day One)

Also, with Bardiche subbing out it makes most of that pointless so without further ado:

Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day One)
Post by: meow56 on April 15, 2020, 09:59:54 PM
Perhaps I should've been more clear: I'm not asking who he's directing attention away from, but rather why he's even directing attention away from himself in the first place. To be frank, I think Scum!Bardiche would've been able to handle what little heat he was getting without having to resort to redirection.

Not at all, Bardiche's actions can still give us useful insight into his (and thus his replacement's) alignment.

Quote from: Fabloo
Is it wrong of me to make assumptions and see what others think? That's been my agenda so far but it doesn't work if nobody picks up on it.
I parsed this sentence as "is it wrong of me to have opinions of others that I keep to myself while asking for other people to get their opinions on them? this has been my agenda so far but it doesn't work if no one understands and feeds me their cases on my ideal suspects"

but looking back I might have misparsed something
reading this thread more is making the headache come back every time ._. I feel ok when I'm away from mafia and then I come back and become immediately exhausted

Quote from: Fabloo
It's just strange to me that because I said I disliked you/BBM that your instant response is that everything that lead up to that very moment was just subtext to accuse you/BBM. This isn't true at all. They were just comments I threw out to see what others would think. It turns out not so much. I actually disliked you for more individual reasons yet you seem to be associating yourself with BBM for some reason.
this was read as "What, no, I made a comment about disliking something and then shortly after said the people I disliked were Serela/BBM, but these were actually unrelated statements even though I barely gave any reason I didn't actually like Serela/BBM despite apparently having them"

also you didn't really differentiate things the stuff yourself of suspecting us with, you accused us both of ignoring questions and then really never followed up until trying to defend yourself now

Okay I see, well here's my reasoning:
We didn't have any watertight evidence against each other so my strategy was just to keep pressing him until he messed up and did something outright scummy.

I think people caught on to his low quality, infrequent posts and making a big deal out of nothing in my posts here, here and here which is why he brought up my posts again to redirect attention.

ok I'm feeling fairly good about this ##Vote: Meow56

not only is the read list pretty empty and useless with no explanation for any of the reads, the other couple posts he made after that were regarding the Bard/Tom argument and asking Tom a bunch of questions. Although that's a major discussion point of the day so far, it's also, according to his list, a town v town fight. I think it's suspicious for that to be the core of his content vs actually pushing people he thinks are scum. Fabloo is one of his main suspicions and is very active and present and he basically hasn't said anything about or to Fabloo.

Also this is minor but it bugs me a bit that he's prioritizing responding to other people over producing his own content.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day One)
Post by: BigBangMeteor on April 15, 2020, 10:55:34 PM
I could go for NNR too actually. I wasn't really a fan of his Bard vote because it felt very barebones and kinda weird- no idea what he meant by Bard trying to obfuscate his tone. But given that I agreed with the target of the vote if not the reason I thought it was silly to pressure him at the same time as I was pressuring Bard. In his last wave of posts there was really just the one with content and it was kind of unimpressive. Didn't really like the bit about not being sure how to judge Bard for getting pissed.

NNR, when you said that Bard's post was filled with un-serious fluff, were you referring to his vote on Tom or his post about your vote on him?
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day One)
Post by: NucleusWaffles on April 15, 2020, 11:06:29 PM
I genuinely feel Tom may not play by the meta, but he has a rational chain of thought which I can follow so I disagree with his lynch.

Recent activity from other zwerdijib changed my opinion substantially, I still feel town-lean for now for raikaria, NNR.

I just really don't like Fabloo's posting style, when Bard v Tom happened, he remainined in stasis.

Now that Bard has subbed out, Fabloo continues to active lurk.

Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day One)
Post by: NucleusWaffles on April 15, 2020, 11:56:35 PM
Tom I don't think you look scum.

However, we have a tendency to lynch someone anyone really at the end of the day to provide a 'flip'.

'Flips' generate collective knowledge, in addition to the scum 'nightkill'. Two 'flips' will justify or break some town mentalities and make a good massclaim envrionment where maximum impact is shared with town but not scum.

Problem is, according to the wiki plays breaking a setup is often assumed for on modding.
Follow the Cop, as stated on the mafiascum wiki, is a effective way for a true cop and hidden doctor to break the game.


Therefore, as far as I know, even if I don't want to lynch you specifically Tom, unless you plan to claim as a doctor/cop like now since you are online. I think it is otherwise hard to convince town to swing votes entirely to another wagon.

---

To phrase that more mathematically, we as town know the probability is low for hitting scum D1.

However, in spirit of self-preservation and inducing certainty within uncertainty. Because we are what we make of ourselves, scumhunt efforts are generally rewarded, and consistency is scrutinised fiercely upon.

This is the logic of mafia, its not very mathematic, but rather a bunch of monkeys like us just competing to survive, winning comes next after we live.

So Tom, what I want to get across is try fighting for another wagon

Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day One)
Post by: Polaris on April 15, 2020, 11:57:41 PM
Really now?  I've been pointing at Scum!Bard the entire first day how can you even *think* of claiming I'm not hunting scum?

Here's a timeline of Tom's posts with relevant posts from Bard's also included in chronological order.

##Vote: Bardiche

I'm sorry but we don't accept lies at this town, only credit, debit, foreign currency and local currency~

Lets be more careful of pushing lurker lynches...  I get that the mafia wants to lay low and is likely to lurk but they'd also want to lynch lazy townies since they wouldn't put up much resistance.

Also wouldn't the mafia go after town power roles for their first nightkill?  So better not claim roles unless we have some way of protecting from night actions?

Although my joke on Tom was initially a joke, I am now consolidating it to a more serious vote.

##unvote
##vote: Tom


(quote cut for space)

I just read that voting lurkers is an easy way to fake scumhunt and avoid suspicion without lurking according to this Mafia Scum (http://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Mini%27s_Scumhunting_Kit#.22Look_at_me.2C_I.27m_so_town.21.22_.28.2B1.0.29)

But if you insist that MotK mafia behaves differently and that the odds of finding scum are higher I'm willing to vote for lurkers

What is turbolynching?

Is there a way to end day prematurely?  Like 3/4 majority?

In the rules it mentions "Twilight is the time between the hammer and the moderator's flip." so there should be a hammer?

(this is the end of the first day, marked by the prod on zwj)

Hmm, their profile page has their "last active" time as April 13, 2020, 08:21:42 PM and Day One began April 13, 2020, 09:55:26 PM which means they haven't been on at all since the game began

Nevermind, they *just* came online, likely due to the e-mail notification a PM generates

I was looking through the previous mafia game for scum tells when I saw a post by Serela and while I've been able to look up most terms on MafiaScum there was no entry on turbolynching, which is why I asked here

(quote cut for space)
Leaving my vote on Tom because I'd like for him to quit asking about game mechanics and actually weigh in with his opinion on things. Who do you think is scum, and why do you think that?

I think you are scum because you lied in your initial accusation claiming to know roles, and while it might have been a joke lies hurt the town.  Secondly you've been homing on to me more than a Hakurei Amulet, instead of going after better targets.  By your own theory you should be lynching lurkers and zwerdjib was a far better candidate even getting prodded by the mod!  Scum!Bard likely thinks I can't defend myself against his accusations because I'm new and is pushing for a mislynch.

I wasn't going to vote for anyone on day one because I don't like the odds but as long as your vote is on me, mine will be on you.

this is the first time tom ever mentions thinking that bard is scum, and it's after bard posts to restate his vote on tom.

now, the lies:

Really now?  I've been pointing at Scum!Bard the entire first day how can you even *think* of claiming I'm not hunting scum?

as i've stated previously, tom literally did not mention a single scumread during the entire first day, unless you count the initial joke vote, which i do not.

You call that serious?  I was just voicing a genuine concern besides Scum!Bard was the only one who decided to latch onto it and drive it into the ground.  It's clear as day, he saw an opening and a chance to divert attention and start a witch hunt basing its entirety on that circumstantial post.  I've read him as scum and am just pushing his buttons until he slips up and does something openly scummy

i would also use this as evidence to back up the claim that tom is not scumhunting. if tom really was "pointing at Scum!Bard the entire first day" then why did he not make any effort to respond to bard's initial serious vote? if it was "clear as day" from that post that bard was scum, why not mention it at all? the claim that "i was scumhunting all along" is patently false and your insistence on systematically attacking the people who are voting you seems almost pitiful. i am struggling to see how any of this comes from a town mindset.

Post by: NucleusWaffles on April 16, 2020, 12:05:29 AM
In addition, despite the day phase being as long as it is town is highly influenced by the number of posts and activity.

Concluded arguments with someone, today specifically referring to Bard v everyone, will lead to a hurriedness to hammer.

I am not immune to this apathy, but I hope pointing it out will dismiss some of this fake urgency and we can function better under pressure.

Alright, so I've figured out the best way to survive day one is to just lurk since without data everything is meaningless.  Everyone who's said a lot of things has gotten votes and those who've said the least have not.  I should have figured this out sooner and shut up but I wanted to be active considering this is my first game.

##Vote: Fabloo
Nothing against you mate, I'm just joining your wagon like Nucleus suggested so I can at least get to the next stage where we can actually start finding who's scum using our power roles, and its pointless to claim doc, vig or cop since mafia will just nightkill you first and put everyone at a disadvantage.

In response to Polaris' reply its day freaking one, you're right I don't care about scumhunting without data since as its just speculation.  I'd rather base any claims I made on real data like our power roles findings, who the night kill was and votes.  I should have just shut up and lurked as saying anything just makes everyone attack you

Tom, are you perchance better with numbers or graphs?

Noting your technological proficiency perhaps you can leverage a strong argument using online times and posting frequencies.

Words are frustrating, don't lose faith.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day One)
Post by: Tom on April 16, 2020, 12:27:52 AM
Indeed I only like to make strong claims backed by evidence such as numbers, and especially power role information.
But its too early since we have no data, post frequencies are circumstantial as people do other things than play mafia.  Which is why I'm just counterattacking whoever attacks me in case they slip up and do something outright scummy.  Anyways I'm not going to dig my own grave anymore and will just lurk for the remainder of the day, if I make it great you'll have someone who will analyze the votes and try to find correlations on your side, if I don't well I've learned the MotK Meta for next time.

I'm still trying to work out what I think about Tom, the reason I haven't talked about it yet is because I've just not been sure what to say. I see where he's coming from as a new player myself and there's a certain threshold of innocent blunders that I'd be tempted to give him. But at the same time you're right that if he claims to have been scumhunting when he wasn't, there's not really much room for that to have been an innocent blunder.

initial impressions:

bard: Well played. ##Unvote

Raikaria: I wanna call you out on you just having terrible opinions, but after the entirety of last game I really don't know how to read that. I somehow get the feeling scum raikaria would actually be better at hunting scum than town raikaria

zwerd: Actual fire trucking scumhunting????? reads????????????? A VOTE???? I literally cannot believe this.

Fabloo: I still vaguely don't like his posts. It might just be that I agree with Serela that I don't like how he's holding his cards close to his chest this early on. I get the vague feeling he's looking more for gotchas then scumhunting?

Yaer:

this made me laugh because the first thing that came to mind is "So literally anything?" but then I reread it and got it.

Yaer and Nucleus: It feels like they're just kinda... here. Like enough here to exist but not quite enough to be useful. Maybe I haven't read into them enough despite their relatively sparse posts, but it's enough to make me suspicious.

...my head hurts i think i need to go back to bed again x_x

The more we talk about the more you've convinced yourself that you and BBM are the only people I'm focusing on. This isn't true. I offered a scenario earlier and now we're three or four pages past that. It's clear nobody feels the same way. This is fine. In hindsight, I like BBM's recently vote on meow. Back to you. Your initial impression of what I said is mostly correct. Should I suspect you harder? There was a paragraph or two left for both of you but this again happened three pages ago without much input from anyone else. I'm not stubborn to the point where people are suggesting to vote me for not being on the same wavelength.

Let's drop it here. Further confusion will probably just make it worse for both of us.

Actually. I don't wanna vote Disquieted.

The game situation is weird. There is nobody playing fundamentally bad. The only person who has had that thrown at them replaced out and the other is a newbie. The direction of this thread thus far is polarizing. I think it would take a lot of pep talk to ever vote Tom. There was a moment in time where I believed Tom/Nucleus were clearly town and nobody would vote him. I thought people were talking around them and I put it in my head that there were some people getting ready to butter them up. We are now here and Tom seems to be a very likely candidate to be lynched. What happened? The arguments made towards him aren't convincing. Even if he has his vote parked me I just don't see it. If Tom is scum then I would suspect that the more experienced players in a hypothetical team would just be leaving him out to dry.

I don't think this is happening. I'm having a hard time figuring out the details.

Reframing my mindset. Not thinking two steps ahead trying to outmaneuver people.

Post by: Serela on April 16, 2020, 03:34:43 AM
My head doesn't hurt now and it's about time to go to bed but it's definitely a point where I need to establish better opinions on people who aren't Fabloo, stuff has actually happened at this point. Based on his last response my impressions of what he was saying were not incorrect, so my opinion there hasn't really changed.

I reread your posts to make SURE that your hop onto disquieted is actually as squint-worthy as I think it is. You DID poke them a couple times earlier in the day, but... it was... basically just you trying to chat with them a little?? You never actually said they did something that was scummy/suspicious/etc??? Zwerd said "hey let's try voting somewhere else" and plopped on disquieted and you went, oh yes, I agree, and that's uh... it

yeah uh
yeah i'm gonna keep voting fabloo.

OK BUT RIGHT, OTHER PEOPLE. Honestly Tom could go either way but I really don't want to vote off a newbie who isn't entirely sure what they're doing on d1. I feel like we're gonna go into d2 with very little info gained if he doesn't flip scum, and I feel like the lynch is a coinflip. (the other newbies:also being new, just gonna plant down that blanket statement because there's SO many of them and worry about it later, i don't consider these as readable slots until we get info to work with)


*NNR lookin' good after that last batch of post
*BBM seems pretty ok too
*Daiya is in the newbie pool technically but I do have a comment, they were pretty present at the start of the game but after the game legitimately got rolling, all they did was drop in a Tom vote and disappear, which does look like a red flag to me
*Polly:I feel like I -should- be able to have an opinion on polly but I reread their posts several times and I just kinda don't :shrug:

Cut, the meow vote doesn't really make me feel better either :U Meow is another person playing their first game, I don't like their empty posts but again I'm really not interested in d1 lynching someone on their first game over that, it's a coinflip and if it doesn't flip scum we probably get very little information either

it occurs to me we have so many people playing on their first game that if we lynched all of them and only one flipped scum, we'd be in 5p lylo (unless there was any extra nks, then we'd have lost already :U) and I don't know how to feel about that

they're incredibly easy noise for scum to just point at both d1 and likely on future days and i don't know how to feel about that either because there's also way too many to just give them passes for very long at all

What is it about my posts that makes you think I have grand ideas. What do you think about them regardless?

You were initially pretty quiet about about what you actually thought. Which made me think that you were holding onto something, but then I realised that this is day 1 so you can't be. So maybe you are just worth voting for.

what do you even do in this situation ;_; should I go ahead and say yes, let's just lynch them and hope the veteran scums are easy to pick out over time? but it's so easy for them to hide if we're just stabbing all the newbies. but also the usual 'hope the situation resolves itself later' won't work because they're a third of the game, and actually if we did 2 days of mislynching veterans and veterans probably being nightkilled, then now... half the living players are on their first game and scum is placed in a very good position

i never thought about the numbers here because I knew it was bad and I didn't want to admit the cruel reality we are in *sobs*

And if he was telling the truth about his role then he wouldn't be calling me scum.
also, scum gambits where they're probably being lynched, and they claim whatever they think will let them survive one more night, are not unusual

It means instead of town lynching scum, town mislynches another townie! This would occur in cases where the scum is pretty sure they're going to be lynched otherwise. Delaying their own death by one day is a pretty good outcome

Post by: BigBangMeteor on April 16, 2020, 03:59:31 AM
my first draft of this post was cut by 22 posts

anyways I don't want to lynch Fabloo. I've given my reasons for it before. He's too active in a hostile way to be active lurking. The point of active lurking is to post a bunch of stuff that doesn't really draw any attention so that people just put you in their head as "trying" but without really reading your posts carefully.

I would much rather lynch meow or NNR over Fabloo or Tom. NNR's latest couple posts don't do much. It's generally a scumtell for me when someone prioritizes their time towards unimportant content (calling a bunch of people town or saying they're vaguely suspicious but he needs to read more) vs pushing cases or talking about primary scumreads. None of the people except maybe meow is even a general topic of discussion.

If I have to lynch between Fabloo and Tom I would rather do Tom just because I think Tom's posts are going to be a pain for people to deal with all game but people should sheep my meow or NNR cases instead.

i'm trying to evaluate how likely it is that scum would fakeclaim masons together d1

i mean, it's pretty likely to steer town ten miles away from them, but if the other scum(s? is 4 scum in 15p realistic? I'm not used to games over 13p) are lynched before them the game is pretty much lost. if 2 masons were still alive in lylo after claiming d1 I would be suspicious. See:Previous game, where I copped the masons :U

ok could there be 4 scum, lets run numbers
that's 11 v 4, assuming no third party, which 4 scum would probably mean no third party in this player size
3 mislynches/nks later, we enter Day 4 at.. 5v4, which is lylo. Hmm. Day 4 isn't bad. It's a possibility I think, do other people have better experience with large player count games

i think a 15p game is too small to have a 2p third party scumteam. if anything at that point it may as well be multi-ball but claiming masons in multi-ball is basically telling the other team that you're the other scumteam.

a d1 mason claim is way too dangerous for scum to make, especially for what, to stop a d1 newbscum lynch? at that point you might as well lean in and hardbus for the towncred. it'll be suspicious enough if they both survive an extended period anyways.

I unvoted because Bard and haven't gotten to read everyone enough to put a vote down again. I was tempted to vote PX or Fabloo again (I still am) but the last hour has sort of thrown everything up in the air

NNR, when you said that Bard's post was filled with un-serious fluff, were you referring to his vote on Tom or his post about your vote on him?
I never caught this (I am still rereading). I was referring to him questioning my vote, and maintaining the reason why I voted him originally.

I am very confused by the role spec and I have just took some pills for a cold in self-isolation.

I agree with the third party lovers theory, and I see no reason why we should not eliminate them.

##Confirm Vote Fabloo


In addition, I didn't like how Fabloo sat out the main meat of Bard vs Tom, which I must mention again.

The claim sounds real enough in that its ambigious, but I am not converted immediately.

In addition, I have read a high number of motk games where last minute switches usually do more harm than good.

I await persons to discourse and talk with otherwise. Sorry if I wasn't reading much after Fabloo claim survivor lovers

I have a logical side that agrees with NNR's idea of punishing bad play.
However, my empathetic side disagrees with bullying newbies, and want to facilitate inclusion. I don't want a second Bard being so unhappy to leave this game.

Moreover, Tom has promised to be making better cases with numbers once his mood recovers.
I think that its defnitely hard, but noble to consider fellow townies in their shoes and give Tom some further run time as his first game.

I understand the Tom v Bard slapfight is likely genuinely frustrating on both sides, but I hope now that Fabloo claimed lovers survivors we can consolidate on a more useful goal.

polaris I really don't like this post on principle even if I agree with the fabloo vote following it

also am I seriously the only one who sees the insightful posts behind meow

daiya exists and it's sometimes hard to remember that. They said they're associated with zwerd though so I'm automatically suspicious.

There's just a *lot* of people I don't like so far this game and it's hard to really decide between any of them. Un-hilariously zwerd and meow are the only players I feel strongly town vibes from.

I'm gonna ##Vote: BBM. I really don't like the basis of his meow vote and feels like he's just kind of overlooked the basis of his posts or the insight of them and called them scummy for addressing the major content of the game that had come out so far? Like, I also said I had my eye on fabloo but I couldn't think of a concrete enough reason to actually vote him.

His shade on me also just seems kind of there with some kind of shady (intended) reasoning but it's hard to accurately judge an opinion of myself (given the obvious bias) to be fair. It also feels like he's vaguely sheeping (or covering for?) smartbomb who has the same opinions but also threw a vote out on me for literally nothing

WHY DID YOU NOT VOTE ANY OF YOUR SCUM READS?????????????

Because they were never set in stone. Because I put something out there to be looked with feedback. Reads change all the time. I was waiting to develop them and wanted to bring my perspective to see what others would think. Games like these require people to build upon each other. Scum enjoy moments like this when town is in disarray. The only good thing that could possibly happen now if you lynch me is that there was a clear wrong consensus and others can parse what to do about it.

You have my attention right now. The most you've given me is that I'm not scumhunting. Why. Your reasoning becomes like a repeating record. I confused serela. I didn't vote this person. I didn't do that. I'm here right now. I want to develop mine with you. The things I've done in the past cannot continued to be explained. I will accept you have a problem with it but now it is time to move on from them.

I'll figure this out later. Have some takes while I keep sleeping, real words can come later.

Lynching claimed masons is stupid. Stop it. Stop saying third party as well. If you want to talk about third party, wait a night. Probably a joke. Probably scum motivated. Good meme either way. Appreciate it.

Daiya's vote on Tom is really strange and I don't get it.

Yaersulf isn't really doing himself any favours still.

Meow is a good vote and I'd vote except I just really want breathing room for him to come back.

Also, with Bardiche subbing out it makes most of that pointless so without further ado:

##Vote: Raikaria

Semilurking through the beginning of the day and has been quite vague about their intentions and alignments

Please back up your claims with hard evidence, I included 3 links in my last post.  Everything else is just words

##Unvote
##Vote Polaris

Throwing out two OMGUS votes after I'm already voting you largely for doing that dosen't help my opinion of you; Tom. I'm aware you swapped voetes to someone who actually wasn't voting you shortly after, but that vote had little~no reasoning.

And saying I've been unclear about my opinions isn't really true. I've explained why I voted for you quite thoroughly I believe. I've stated I dislike giving out townreads due to the fact they paint targets on people's backs for scum to target. I've not been too active, but I've explained why. I'm working late shifts. I leave to go to work. I come back and it's time for sleep.

---

I'm not really sure where this Fabloo wagon is coming from? In fact I'm finding it rather concerning when there's posts like this:

Welp, Fabloo is confirmed scum, or at least certainly not town.

Cut by 3

AND THEN PX AND FABLOO CLAIM MASONS. ALRIGHT

And to be honest, pretty much everything after that claim makes me want to bash my head against the edge of my desk repeatedly and hard.

I simultaneously want to lynch everyone who's still voting the claimed masons because that's a stupidly anti-town stance to be taking. Throwing out theories such as x2 3rd party in a 15p game is rather extreme too.

Although simultaneously; bringing up role flavors [which cannot be proved in any way, shape or form and rely on people having knowledge of the flavor in the first place] is a little silly. If that was the case, we should all claim our flavor and whoever the villains in Ys are are the scum! Good chance that would work, seeing as I'd wager the majority of us have no clue about Ys. I know I don't.

The posts I highlighted in my previous post; and the above, as well as this one:

Also looks like the Fabloo wagon lost its speed~
##Unvote
##Vote meow56

[A wagonhop to the 2nd largest wagon; absolutely no reasoning given] make me want to continue pushing Tom. The newbie card only gets one so far.

And man Page 16 in it's entirety is basically drivel. Except there are a few things I think are worth pointing out:

My mouth literally went agape reading this. Are you tone deaf? I'm not hunting scum? Are you blind? I've put out the most content and I shouldn't have three pages ago. Meanwhile you've sat on me all indignant telling me all the things I'm not doing. I've done too much in my opinion. I've never been so unsettled in my life. Nor disrespected.

But Polaris isn't sitting on you. He's voting meow.

And then there's this post NNR quotes:

I'm down with the idea of lynching Fabloo if that's what we're doing, but personally I'd prefer to wait day or two and see if he's actually just full of hot air or actually has been formulating some grand idea. As rude as it'd be I wouldn't mind a Banana lynch because I still feel like that could give us some possible info on nucleus (and a bunch of other people seeing as nearly everyone weighed in on Bardiche.)

I find this stance strange. It comes across to me like 'I'm fine riding this wagon! But I don't really want this wagon!'. It comes across as him trying to clean his hands of a mislynch before it actually happens. There's more than enough time if he actually wants to not lynch Fabloo for him to make up a new case and actually try and push it.

In fact in general I don't like Yaersulf's pushing on Fabloo. While I also don't like Fabloo's blatent OMGUS switch onto him, I don't really like Yaersulf's reasons for voting Fabloo, or the fact he was the 5th person on the wagon this early, combined with the above.

I still really don't like Tom's content. But I feel this is more topical and quite bad too.

Oh yeah I should probably mention that while I'm not impressed by Fabloo [especially in regards to his last showing] I still think unless proven otherwise by a power role we should avoid lynching the mason claims tonight.

I've little to no idea how to play so I've just counterattacked those who voted me and trusted wagons led by more experienced players.  The majority of strategy I've found involves analyzing votes so I'm just trying to survive the first day so I can get to that stage.  I switched off Fabloo since he claimed mason and even a newb like me knows that masons are some of our town PRs (though won't claiming mason get you NK'd instead of lynched?).  If they turn out not to be masons then I'd me more than happy to switch my vote back.

To clarify the whole Fabloo thing as I saw it. I agreed that Fabloo being cagey was suspicious, then Fabloo claimed a role that meant he knew my role (not necessarily true that that's what he claimed? but it's what I read it to mean at the time) then immediately voted me. Thinking what I did I saw that as him lying about being pro-town. Now I'm not sure exactly what it means, I've been having to look up some these terms like masons and strawberries.

As far as I can tell it means that they're both town and know for a fact that each other are town? Except from what they've said there's something extra on top of that? Which Fabloo still hasn't really explained at all.

Anyway, I'ma sleep now.

So, let's talk so we get kind of away from the mess. Maybe a bit more general than normal, get away from the dumb topics at hand. Let's talk very general and what I should've started with at the very beginning, take a breather, move away from actually playing the game. I should've started with this cause this is very much a mafia primer, and clearly we have a lot of new players in this game, so let's talk about playing mafia.

Scumhunting's a very messy affair. When you're trying to find mafia in a game, you need to think about who or what is mafia indicative. That's pretty hard because you're working with human beings. Humans are dumb. Humans aren't efficient. Humans are silly.

Probably the biggest misconception about mafia is to be mafia, you have to trip up. As mafia, the general thought is that you're mafia, so you have to be wild, be sneaky, change your positions, and be very naughty and not play to the town's win condition a lot of the time. In fact, that's not what a very traditional mafia player does. The people who trip up the most, for no reason at all, are town members.

Someone who plays mafia doesn't get fancy unless they're battle-hardened. The main concept of mafia is that you're trying to emulate your town game as best you can to flow under suspicion, and then make those percentage moments to manipulate people. And the quite frank point of mafia is that you don't have to find those percentage moments necessarily and it's more trouble than it's worth, cause finding the difference between town and mafia tripping up is not about that they trip up, 

No, the better thing to do is to find the human weakness. Which is that most people don't know how to emulate their town game. Cause break it down. Out of 100% of people, 20% of them don't have a concept of self. A further 20% of them have a concept of self and know how they play as town, but they don't really know how to reach that level when they read their role PM and see red. The rest of those people think they know themselves and try to reach that area, but they fall short. That's all you need to do.

Mafia isn't a game about debating points over a table. This isn't a debate forum. Mafia is a game about good faith and intentions, not debating the finer points of the sky. That inherently makes it easier, cause some facts can be changed, like the price of gold, the world revolving around the sun, and the Black Death. But what you can't change is a person's alignment and what they see on their role PM, and once you see that, you know you're wrong. And that's a good puzzle answer.

You know what belongs in a debate? How to play mafia. Defining how to play mafia well is a matter of opinion. A human being and the faith of a human being can't be described by a subset of internal rules. You can't say how someone who sees their role PM should always act in a certain way, you can't be prescriptive about the matter. For every person that you find a correct way to read them on, you'll apply to another person and find it doesn't really work out. This is why some very vaunted players will talk about "player meta" and "how to read particular people" but even individual people can surprise other individual people. So you play mafia for a long time and you realise that anything you learn about reading someone in a game doesn't really work cause trying to figure out good faith depends on the human condition. And that is malleable and ever-changing. It's also why mafia is never a solved game.

So when you want to start from square one in a game, your first question should not be "Is this person playing mafia well"? Your first question should be "Does this person want to be here, and are they interested in helping me in good faith?"

When you formulate a read, the number one thing you need to do is examine the logical view you have. Cause here's the thing, the problem with people is that they play very prescriptively and it doesn't necessarily lead them well. In fact they play very prescriptively, assume other people play using the same prescriptions, and not only does that hamper their own scumgame, it also hampers the way they read other people. What you kind of need to do is talk over your logic to yourself and make sure that logical gap at least feels good to you, and remember that everything is relative. Cause people have their own internal rules about mafia and how it works but they never really check their own assumptions and that's the best way to think about mafia.

Let's talk about the simplest scumread that you could make that works all the time, and that's somebody claiming scum. This probably sounds very bland, but given that it's one of the only truisms in mafia (and may not even be if people are getting really fancy!) it's probably the best place to start.

The line of thought goes like this.

This person claimed scum. Why did this person claim scum? He claimed scum because he is scum. Why would we he do that? I don't know, but town have no reason to lie about this, so he is scum.

Smooth. Simple. Easy.

Let's take a simple rule of thumb that people get hung up on a lot. People say that the third person on a wagon is scum a lot of the time. Why? Let's go with the current third vote on the wagon, which is Yaersulf.

Why is Yaersulf scum because of this? Because.... from experience there's scum on the third person on a wagon. Logically as well, scum try to give credence to a wagon, they don't drive it cause they want to remain out of the spotlight and they don't hammer it because people look that way when they want to find someone to blame. Is there any reason a town member ends up being the third town on a wagon? Well, why not? Is there a rule that all town members must avoid being the third vote on a wagon? Is there some sort of prescriptive concept that town must avoid being on the third vote?

That's the sort of thing I think about. It generally involves something that's interesting -> is that a scummy action -> is that a towny action -> which one is more likely? And the big thing is, there isn't a 100% answer to a single read, cause reads can be flawed, and town don't have all the answers and can make mistakes - that might not even be mistakes unless you've actually pulled in someone else's alignment into it.

Obviously this is a lot of words and I don't have a read that Yaersulf is scum because he's the third vote on Fabloo, that would be ridiculous by my standards and given what I've written you definitely expect better of me. But I'm human and stupid.

The best part of mafia I think is this though. Doing this sort of thing means you help everyone else to read you. And the best part of this is that if even if you do something stupid and wrong, if you're "out there" and you look like a fool, at least you're genuine, and as it turns out, being genuine helps in this game.

Anyways. I hope that helped and maybe gets some people's minds off things. I didn't want this to be a callout and if you thought it was I apologise. It just felt like a good idea to talk about given what's been going on, something that doesn't talk about people in this game. Cause I haven't given an actual read on this post and I'm not as good as Niektory and this is my definition of fluff.

Anyways. This is my traditional trying to find a lead-in to get myself comfortable in the thread, let me find my reads.

I keep waking up later and later every day and having less time for morning mafia gg

@NNR: Talking about the topic du jour is okay if you think there's actually scum there or if you're simultaneously talking about other stuff. It's not ok if you're doing that instead of talking to or about your scumreads. It's easy to make competent posts questioning the play of the most inexperienced player in the game. But if meow doesn't think they're scum why is that the only thing he's doing?

Sadly I don't think you would be ballsy enough to hard defend meow and hail mary vote me as scum if you're his buddy. And if you're scum but meow isn't I also don't think it makes sense for you to hard defend meow since it would be advantageous to push a lynch on someone who's clearly a better player than like fabloo or Tom.

Frustrating that meow is still not around. Out of time to read yaersulf atm, will have to wait for lunch. I guess I will also read Polaris? He's solidly in the "posting frequently and well but has not made any specific towntells" area for me. I don't really understand the votes against him so I guess I have to read those too.

it all went downhill when he changed his avatar from the chad red (cute, confident, approachable, actual harem protagonist) to the virgin ruby (a super loser, does pokemon contests, probably can't even get a date)
:'( he doesn't need a harem he already has a badass girlfriend

Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day One)
Post by: Disquieted on April 16, 2020, 02:06:18 PM
Here's a rough view of where I'm at.

PX
Fabloo

I don't want to deal with this currently, they're both masons, they're behaving like they're masons - Fabloo's attitude isn't uncommon at all for masons even if they didn't want it to be like that. Probably don't want to deal with this ever.

Tom

I'm not sure why this is an issue. If someone that's new to mafia can replicate this exact newbie-speaking pattern and actually genuinely expressing interest in the game, I'd be surprised. Like you can argue about the tenets of how he's playing mafia but you're not really helping him play... mafia? And trying to expect that he knows how to play mafia and applying that assumption seems kind of weak.

When I talk about good faith, I sit in Tom's shoes, and ask, is it believable that as town he doesn't know what to do so he'll sit and reactively hit every vote that goes at him? And I say, yes, and it's less believable if he's scum because he's writing these posts from the basis that he has a town role PM. Maybe he already has that mindset in mind as scum, but we're making a lot of assumptions here that may not be necessary for Day 1.

BigBangMeteor

I don't really have a problem with BBM this game, I don't think anyone short of NNR does, and like I said, the mafia are going to nightkill him tonight cause of it and we don't really need to have this conversation. It takes a lot of effort to describe why I feel OK about BBM instead of giving him the free volume pass, that requires me to read his posts and actually comment on them, so I'll just leave the very vague "he feels genuine" and know nobody will really care to argue with me on this point, except NNR. I guess I'll cut my losses here and see if he wants to fight me over it, and I'll grumble if he does and see if I can hit something in BBM's posting that I exactly like.

Zwerdjib
Serela
raikaria

I don't really know how to rank these people. Raikaria gets a severe bump-up for talking about his own role flavour so candidly, and zwerdjib gets a bump-up for supposedly actually caring about mafia this time and showing it, though I'm very prepared to drop it in the next few days cause I don't really think he can keep it up if he's scum.

All three players are very unique, I don't know how how they're going to play as scum (in zwerdjib's case I don't know how to differentiate his town and scum game really), and on balance I'm very tempted to read them town just for being themselves and not awkward. That's probably wrong, and we'll deal with it eventually. But shrug.

NucleusWaffles

I don't really know how to feel about NucleusWaffles. The claim is good I guess, not out of the range of being coached to say, but that just means it's a possibility, not the most likely one. Nucleus is, um, surprisingly perceptive, to put it in a way, and kind of exists in the thread and has interesting opinions. I am gently leaning town on um, him? But I didn't actually like his opening a lot and while his posts so far have left me mild, it just makes me think of this overactive trying to be townie sort. Maybe that's just true and he's townie. Who knows.

Daiya

I have mild concerns about Daiya insofar in that I haven't deeply read many of his posts cause I thought they sounded good, and he suddenly ends on Tom for some reason. I don't really want to go into depth as to why I feel like this is a problem, but what I'm considering of Daiya is that I don't really see this vote coming from him and it's mildly convenient. But who knows. He should've been higher and I wanted to low effort him into Day 2 and let him have fun.

NekoNekoRex

I'm not dropping him any lower than this cause he's been kind. I don't think he's very towny, but I'm certainly not going to press this today and let this thread devolve into more than it is. Ask me later, it's just a mild feeling given his position in the game and it's not important right now.

Banana Spritzee

I refuse to read this until Banana Spritzee comes in and posts again. You might remember my opinion on Bardiche, but I refuse to let power flaker Banana Spritzee off with a free town pass. Get in the thread.

Yaersulf

Yaersulf is playing, so I don't want to stress any more than I have to. But Yaersulf hasn't been overall great or easily townreadable. The only reason I could even like Yaersulf right now is cause of what's going on with his thoughts with regards to Fabloo and I don't really... buy that internally.

Who knows, kind of undecided and this is more of a endsort than anything else.

meow56

The good points about meow56: he's got good thoughts and questions.

The bad points about meow56: he doesn't follow them up. I don't know what he's getting from his questions, I don't know who he wants or who he's pushing. All I get are these questions, and a TTS list, but I'm finding it hard to correlate the two together? Like let's talk a bit and see if I'm not barking up the wrong tree here.

I... don't know what typing speed has to do with anything. But regarding the Bardiche wagon, I'm not exactly sure where it came from? I don't think Tom nor Yaersulf had exceptional reasons for voting him: Tom voted him as OMGUS, and Yaersulf voted him for "being quick to point fingers" which doesn't make a whole lot of sense considering the two posts he had made at the time were "Random Vote" and "Defend Random Vote".

BBM: https://shrinemaiden.com/index.php?topic=123.msg4441#msg4441

Gonna assemble a TTS list, be back soonish.

(also, I personally prefer "meow56" even at the start of a sentence. "Meow56" just looks kinda weird to me.)

re: Disquieted, I think I just liked the fact he wrote a TTS list.

Tom, whose vote are calling "not serious"? And what exactly was Bardiche diverting attention from? If I recall correctly, he wasn't under any pressure until he serious voted you.

And one more thing. You've given us two extra scumreads, but do you have any townreads?

Cause like maybe I'm being nitpicky but meow56 here is asking about Tom. Yes?

OK, I should just post the list.

Bardiche
Daiya
raikaria
Polaris
BigBangMeteor
Tom
Disquieted

Yaersulf
zwerdjib
NucleusWaffles
NekoNekoRex
Serela

Fabloo
PX

But why is he in a townlist? I don't know how to express this but it's a strange way to treat a townread. You know?

Maybe this is an easy Day 1 lynch, but Day 1 is always a bit wack anyways, sorry.

Polaris

I've stated my thoughts. They haven't changed. I'm not sure how I'm supposed to budge on this read, we'll talk about this later cause if Polaris is town he's genuinely tilted about something stupid right now and he doesn't need to come back a stupid restating of a case and dredging up how I feel about how he treated that whole mess. Formulate your own opinions nerds.

Really now?  I've been pointing at Scum!Bard the entire first day how can you even *think* of claiming I'm not hunting scum?
His low quality posts, filled with a lot of words that obscure the point and his renentless attack on me started over some technicality of the game concerning lurkers.  He is using me as a scapegoat for his low quality posts and avoid actually scumhunting anyone else.

As for my opinions on others, PX raises a little concern with some low quality posts and raikaria has been quite passive and semi lurking.
you mean...the blatant. and that's not even an isolated incident, you're still doing it. your mindset of "fire truck speculation, i'll just analyze later" irks me because it directly contrasts the image of a newbie who's open to learning the game that you had early on. it doesn't feel consistent and i don't understand why you're doubling down so hard

still writing, but can you elaborate on that? i do believe that his reactions to things feel oddly theatrical, but i'm still having a hard time getting a proper read on him

well, not to be rude, but you could totally just scroll up

but in general, its strawberries

actually hear me out.... dormio was talking up a storm for this setup right??? it would be really lame if we lynched the third party lovers in d1 before they even get to do anything overnight, so we may as well lynch someone else and let the third party self-resurrecting serial killer lovers do their thing

I'm going to sleep. I suppose I should apologise for both walls, one of them really wasn't necessary and is going to spark a debate which I'm sure is going to be fun and not clog up the thread with non alignment indicative conversation. This is why I didn't want to do it in the first place.

Mafia's a game that involves negative behaviour and is generally widely considered a mistake. Don't talk to me, I am the clown.

though i cant agree with your tom read. not especially because you yourself admit that its based on the assumptions we have to make d1. but hmm, feels like hard committing to a debate like this will go nowhere. so tbh im willing to give tom a pass for today. definitely curious about him tomorrow bc it seems like his slot will be moderately difficult to sort out as long as he has the newbie pass

OK. My turn to part you with knowledge.

There is this very annoying dynamic that I've seen present in two games now. This precautionary idea of good play and bad play. The reality is that it doesn't exist. When I said Yearsulf's content sucked, I said it to get his attention. Too often to do things get personal or do people get offended. Going back a further step, a lot of my early behavior was cautious. Some of you might remember last game but I wanted to prevent another Conqueror situation from going on. Someone who skirted the line all the way up to D6 on the merits of being a good player. And then I see people being on Tom just because he's a newcomer therefore not likely to be a good player. This is frustrating. I have a feeling this idea plagues this website far too often and there are many mislynches that happened based on preconceived notion of who's playing good or bad.

It truly doesn't matter. Good play to me has no translation. Bad play is just a poor man's excuse. Both ends. Social games have caveats in them but it's not like there is any technical proficiency put into them. Can you speak english? Can you use a keyboard? You probably can play Mafia. The caveats I'm talking about come from the instinctual purpose behind words. Forming your thoughts through interaction with others. Dormio last game spoke through C++ and I still could understand him pretty well.

So why did I not like BBM/Serela? I don't know. It just came to me. I personally believe. And you can argue with me about it. The biggest thing you can do is to let people know what you're thinking. This of course requires some restraint. You don't want to be too passive but not filling a whole page with your thoughts. I don't like posting often but I also feel slightly gutted when it's clear I'm not being understood.

This has a bigger point. I discussed caveats. I think most players are only separated by experience. You can only get "better" and more aware over time. You get into situations that you can recall and maybe even relate to in future games. This has happened with me many times. This is what seperates and makes people dangerous. It's clear to me that BBM has been around a good amount of time and knows how to function as a townie. This is dangerous if he's scum. Is he scum? That was something I asked myself. The answer I'm reaching right now is that it'd be impossible to condemn him at this point of the game. This is the same thing that happened with Conqueror as I replaced in. This is all perspective. A lot of people are. Conqueror and BBM likely aren't the same people. The only thing similar is their experience. This is likely why people give experience a pass. This isn't the easiest game to get into but it is also victim to confirmation bias. We want to be right and we want our opinions to be correct. You can break this down into psychology. It's actual human nature.

That's what makes it difficult though. Which experience comes with the ability to deceive. It's why I'm not willing to instantly see things as they are. People are too clever. This isn't a crash course but scum's only job is to avoid lynches and kill townies and look good while doing it. They don't have the same pressure of a townie who has to convince everyone else that their thoughts are valid. Or that they aren't secretly Mafia. Town often accuses town because of this allotted pressure. I'm saying this now but I think my spat with Polaris was largely conceived on this basis. It's not like scum can't have a range or even fake emotions. I just believe his stubbornness in that moment attests to this ideal I represented. Nobody wants to play bad. If someone is hard to read. If someone is not being understandable. They're bad not me. It's very selfish and kind of vain. Most townies are.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day One)
Post by: Fabloo on April 16, 2020, 03:35:32 PM
When it comes to Serela I had an idea. I presented it. Serela took that idea and made it confusing for me. That's probably his nature. Certain people require certain approaches. I doubt I can win an argument with Serela not because he's in mensa but because his way of arguing is kind of abstract. Now that I've played a game with him I can say that I have some experience with him. A vague understanding. Last game he was largely emotional and very eccentric in his words. Now. When I think of myself and I think of what I would do as scum? I would try to play up my best traits. It was taught to me pretty early that you want to emulate your play as town as scum. This is where I thought Serela was exaggerating his best traits to create content. His response to me about empty unvoting felt exaggerated. Excessive. As I mentioned many times. This didn't need a deeper thought or even a case.

Let me go further on this. You don't need a case on someone often. I'm not excusing myself here I'm just. Going through the motions. When you suspect someone you are not driving an investigation and this is not a court. I'd like to believe we play in a democracy however. Innocent until proven Guilty. Not the other way around. Anyways.

I never need some six page essay on someone. Your reasoning can be as shallow as you want. As long as it comes with something. That something determines playstyles. I have met players who essentially spoke in one sentence and I've met players who have spoken like me and Disquieted does. Playstyle is another thing to keep in mind. Let me ask this openly to people who are aware of Polaris. What's his playstyle like? Serela? BBM? Tell me how their playstyles effect your ability to read them or even their alignment. I don't know Yearsulf's playstyle because this is my first game with him. I can say though toting my own experience and watching behavior for eons given that I'm a god. His reaction wasn't good. That idea of good doesn't come from a place where that makes him bad. I think of good like behavior. His vote was malicious. Scum are the antagonists of the game and I don't think I've met many where negativity has gotten them very far. His thought patterns don't make sense either. The biggest thing I look for in town is their intent. Yaersulf suddenly convinced him in the right moment that I was scum and gambiting despite there being nothing leading up to it. It doesn't follow a noticeable pattern. It doesn't even make sense for his behavior leading up until that point. Go look at his previous posts and tell me if such conviction and strong words were ever present previously. This is where in my opinion scum are found. You put them in situations they can't prepare for or even reveal their true nature to speak. I think Yearsulf's true nature was revealed in that moment and it took my claim to do it. I am not taking credit or even presenting this like a gotcha moment as NNR explained. I just ask you to look at the game and come to conclusions yourself.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day One)
Post by: Polaris on April 16, 2020, 03:43:55 PM
here is the absolute last post i will ever make on fabloo, because i understand that nobody cares, the same way nobody cares about tom basically doing the exact same thing. spoilered for lack of relevancy

I can confidently say I have tried extremely hard to present my arguments and who I think town should be looking at.

There are two players I'm considering right now. I think Bardiche's vote on Tom is bold but slightly ineffective.

Yeah. Two players I'm considering scummy. No established townreads beyond Tom/Nucleus.

I'm selfish sometimes. That's why. To me voting them would do nothing. I want others to look at what I'm saying and make their own judgment before moving on.

fabloo did the exact opposite of "trying [his] best to present [his] arguments and who [he thinks] town should be looking at" when he literally said "i will not mention my scumreads, make your own opinions"

I think we've become overly courteous to the newbies now. Some of you are faking it as scum. This is the problem I was trying to point out. This isn't something extreme like Daiya said.

be specific. who do you think might be faking it? who do you think is being overly courteous?

I dislike you and I dislike Serela right now.

From what I see you're convinced that my words about people being overly courteous to newbies was a direct shot at you and BBM. At this point I don't know what you're thinking. Can you summarize your problems with me like I have tried to do so with mine?

again, fabloo doesn't mention any names or suspicious in the initial "faking it" post, and needs to be questioned by BBM before even bringing up names. of course, both BBM and serela come up as names directly in response to the post "who is faking it, who is being overly courteous" (the original post quotes BBM) but then later serela is bad for assuming he was being suspected for that? this is something i would label as incoherent.

The more we talk about the more you've convinced yourself that you and BBM are the only people I'm focusing on. This isn't true. I offered a scenario earlier and now we're three or four pages past that. It's clear nobody feels the same way. This is fine.

this post is so passive. assuming this is a coherent line of thought, i believe it's saying "i am focusing on others beside serela and bbm, but that's not true, i offered a scenario [for how i see another person as scum]". the problem is that i only see his "i don't townread disquieted" as a "scenario" (which i definitely would say was "offered" by zwj, not fabloo, if anything) and so if he's going "oh, nobody cares? that's fine", i would not consider that "trying [his] best to present [his] arguments and who [he thinks] town should be looking at"

the only reason i can think of that fabloo would unironically say "i tried my best to tell town who to look at" is that somehow he legitimately believed "ok, as long as i mention something, i'm sure people will read it and come to their own conclusions about it", so it could be just a subjective issue of what "trying my best" means, but if you ask me, this is the equivalent of a teacher who gives students a textbook, tells them to learn on their own, and then pats themselves on the back saying "wow i really taught them :)"

I don't want to vote you. I'm not sure what Disquieted sees but if I were compare you to Yearsulf here in terms of his read on me in comparison to yours.

He has a willing ignorance. His words were hollow. You must have a strong range as scum as I tried to explained before if you were faking your frustration. If you were doing it now. To me it seems like you are a very passionate person. This can be dangerous for yourself and others. Good and bad. Passion is hard to stamp out. I think your passion is a defining trait that sometimes you might even ashamed about. Perhaps it's made you make bad decisions. You mentioned how you were going to delete your account and didn't care anymore of the consequences. Certainly you could be faking it. I just don't know if you'd let yourself sink this deep over one read though? Nothing you've done suggests to me you are incapable.

the latter? fine. you did. i re-read and missed that part.

the former? no. i can read isos.

im going to assume you meant to post something along those lines and didnt. you never made a reads post like that though. assuming you meant to in case something like this happened so you could have a fallback post. not necessarily ai behavior but rationalization is my playstyle so im trying to find out what you meant to say in place of "no dude i had those reads and stated them in 1 post loud and clear". or maybe you did mean to say that and you totally forgot to post.

tell me where youre at right now, actually. im not even convinced your tunnel on fabloo is genuine. seems empty sometimes. its also either really, really bad timing to give up as a townie or i can assume youve just given up on trying to push a pr vote as scum. either way, i want to understand your progression here

I woke up like half an hour ago but the subject of half the threads posts since last night aren't even about the ongoing mafia game. I don't know why zwerd is voting me either ._.

I should probably start trying to consolidate somewhere though? I talked about Daiya before and the opinion hasn't changed. I'm still not sure where I stand on Polly (since some people are voting there now) and no I don't really know Polly's meta, but Daiya was going strong at first and after like the first 24 hours they've posted twice with little blips on Tom who they've been voteparking.

I don't exactly like this?? The wagons are Fabloo (lol) NNR (no) Polly (??) and four of the five newbies. Also apparently me??? I might need to review Polly. I dunno, I just woke up and haven't even gotten out of bed yet. I have work in a bit but I'll be around for most of end of day probably

Read Polaris, not interested in this. I think he reads like town getting hung up over small things rather than the big picture and getting frustrated that his biggest scumreads are confirmed town (fabloo) or playing badly but he can't convince people they're scum (Tom). Scum doesn't get mad about not being able to push a Tom lynch at this stage because a player like Tom will always  be a mislynch candidate. He can return to that later in the game because eventually even people who townread him will acquiesce to his lynch just to get it out of the way.

I could go for daiya just because my pool of scum is down to meow/Bard/yaersulf/daiya/raikaria and maaaybe serela (but too far down to lunch today)

I basically think that daiyas posts have been ok but the timing of the Tom vote isn't great given he wasn't really contributing a new reason to vote therr. He also feels too disengaged for a competent player and like serela said he's basically parking on Tom at this point. I'm talking myself into it as I write this but would still prefer meow.

How large was the game with the SK Mason's? The smallest game I've seen with 2p ITP is 16p. When did the scum Mason claim come up? I've claimed Masons as scum myself in the past but it was the day before LYLO.

The worst thing about the show posts on motk is reading someone's posts and being like "wow this is useless fluff I don't remember" and then realizing it's a post in another thread

Yeah so that is multi-ball. That's a terrible strat because the other scumteam is aware it's multi-ball, know you're scum faking it, and can pick one of you off whenever it's most advantageous, and then the other one gets lynched the next day. Not that everyone plays optimally all the time but if that's the case the strat will fail on its own eventually.

I'm still a big shrug on Yaersulf tbh. His posts are very non-committal and waffly but he's new so it's like eh. I thought his real-time reaction to the sequence where fabloo claimed felt genuine. I'm not exactly townreading him but don't feel good about lynching him right now.

Meow > daiya > yaersulf and against lynching anyone else

Anyways gotta go now will be back before phase end.

I
What?

I woke up like half an hour ago but the subject of half the threads posts since last night aren't even about the ongoing mafia game. I don't know why zwerd is voting me either ._.

I should probably start trying to consolidate somewhere though? I talked about Daiya before and the opinion hasn't changed. I'm still not sure where I stand on Polly (since some people are voting there now) and no I don't really know Polly's meta, but Daiya was going strong at first and after like the first 24 hours they've posted twice with little blips on Tom who they've been voteparking.

##Vote:Daiya

I don't exactly like this?? The wagons are Fabloo (lol) NNR (no) Polly (??) and four of the five newbies. Also apparently me??? I might need to review Polly. I dunno, I just woke up and haven't even gotten out of bed yet. I have work in a bit but I'll be around for most of end of day probably

history done

smh this isn't looking good, we're never gonna get a lynch at this rate
i'm sure maybe up to, like, 3 people from the "don't lynch polaris" section will be fine with voting for the sake of majority despite not being interested, but that still needs like 3 more people from the "everyone else" pile

I feel like players are giving Polaris too much credit now (and his buddies are covering his ass), he doesn't look right to me.

Im willing to consolidate on daiya and banana since they are the weakest players in my book content wise

sorry. dry out of thoughts right now. polaris is right in that we should consolidate somewhere but tbh not entirely sure where. serela is a fine lynch, polaris too, yaer is... i havent read his posts, honestly. unsure why we are lynching meow atp. tom slot gets solved later when we can actually differentiate genuine newbieness from acting... hmmm

oh, i guess bbm is also okay to not lynch? i dont take issue with his posts... which worries me, somewhat. agreeableness isnt something i wanna base my trs off.

God this is a terrible wagon situation

Meow > daiya > BANANA TURBOWAGON > yaersulf > nnr > Tom > polaris

Honestly nobias other than NNR it seems like everyone is kind of ok with meow and daiya? They seem like targets that are better to consolidate on than Polaris where a couple people are strongly against the lynch.

Cant believe Mason claims and NNR sussing me randomly are going to stop my bid to play the perfect amount of mafia (1 day phase per year)

I'm not gonna lie NNR at this stage I disagree with all of your reads to enough of an extent that hearing you say that makes me more confident he's town

Seriously speaking, no, a couple people disliking the Polaris lynch doesn't automatically make it a no-go but given how far we are from getting anyone at all lynched it seems like a poor decision to focus on someone that less people are satisfied with.

I'm also ??? At the notion that the lynches are "easy" when nobody other than super new people has gotten to like 4 votes at all the whole day phase. Pretty sure there are people going "yeah this guy could be scum" but not actually voting, who could be decent candidates for buddies depending on who flips scum

I'm like 50% joking about the banana turbolynch but I think it's more likely to hit scum than like, polaris

I could argue that his goal of lynching himself for town info is obstnately a town motivated goal but its also the most anti town thing anyone could possibly do. I'd rather see him actually lynched, or modkilled at this point.

In fact, let me go harass Dormio because Polaris is consistently ignoring rule 2
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day One)
Post by: Polaris on April 16, 2020, 09:45:35 PM
this was an answer to that btw, i'm just trying to get people to consolidate now. imo the best scumhunting info comes from who picks what wagon when it gets down to deadline, so i am genuinely fine with lynching myself if it means there is a wagon. going by the rules i'm still playing to win even if it means my own death

i've already come to the conclusion that me being lynched is more beneficial to town than a no lynch, therefore i'm still playing to win. there's nothing that specifically states that i lose when i die.

Oh for crying out loud. I guess at this point it isn't so much 'lynch the person you think is scummiest' [which is still Yaersulf and Tom for me; I'm not giving newbie passes] as 'try and find the lynch that enough people find acceptable.'

I would recommend the following:

1: Everyone ranks the people with 2 or more votes in preference, you can include other people

2: Anyone voting someone with less than 2 votes currently heavily considers changeing to a 2+ wagon, these lynches are probobly going to be a lot less likly to happen.

For myself; my preference is Yaesulf > Tom [Mentioning as a benchmarker] > meow [I don't really have much of an opinion on this slot but I'll lynch it if I have to] > Daiya > Polaris >>> No Lynch >>> Fabloo

I'm just a boring old townie with no special powers. I'd be no big loss. I'd tell you my role gender too but well, I'ma have to put it down as "androgynous anime" without visiting the Ys wiki.

So hold up. Why were you so scared of Fabloo's "secret mechanics" if you have no abilities and it would likely not apply to you?

Nah I misread what Fabloo was saying as him claiming to know my role, then calling me scum. I.e, if I know I'm town, and he's lying and saying that I'm not town, then he must be scum. But of course I think I just misunderstood, and that's not quite the case.

Polaris
Seems competent and he's given some good advice that I've been following. Seems pretty trustworthy to me?

Tom
My thoughts haven't really changed too much on him, especially seeing as he hasn't posted much recently. Seems suss but idk if that's just because he's new like me.

meow56
I don't have much of an opinion on him but he's been pretty quiet, which is something that's suspicious in and of itself apparently?

Fabloo
My brain hurts trying to work out what's going on here

raikaria
Honestly pretty unsure, haven't formed too much of an opinion.

banana spritzee
Bard seemed really suss, but we all know how that turned out.

zwerd
Showed up late but seems to have been contributing since then.

Serela
Like Raikaria, not sure on this one either

Yaersulf
fire truck this guy amirite

Disquieted
Been contributing but also something about them strikes me as less trustworthy than some of the others, not sure why.

Nucleuswaffles
Not sure, partially because of the whole Bard thing

BigBangMeteor
Has been pretty present and seems to be contributing constructively, seems trustworthy.

Daiya
No idea, haven't seen much from him

NekoNekoRex
Seems trustworthy like BigBangMeteor and Polaris.

PX
I thought something was up with him from the start, and apparently it was?

i'll switch to meow though since somehow he (and daiya) still haven't posted after all these years

Defensive vote just in case. ##Vote: Yaersulf Looks like it's me, though.

Here's a semi-rushed reads list! Now with reasoning!

Town
BigBangMeteor -- His insistence on my lynch has been a thing for a while now, so he seems good.
Disquieted -- Though a little disengaged early on, he's posted reads and he's been pushing them.
Yaersulf -- His reaction to Fabloo's roleclaim just felt townie to me.

Lean Town
raikaria -- Made good posts, I guess? Votes are piling up on me so apologies if this is lax.
Bardiche/banana spritzee -- Bardiche seemed town, but banana spritzee's lurking is dropping him.
Serela -- He just seems genuine, maybe it's just lack of meta knowledge though.
zwerdjib -- From what I recall he seems to be looking through things well enough.

Neutral
Fabloo/PX -- Not going to deal with these guys.
Tom -- Don't like the admission of lurking, especially don't like the sheeping during his "lurk period" but meh.
NucleusWaffles -- Should post more :(
Daiya -- Awaiting the promised post.
NekoNekoRex -- Felt like he wasn't posting much? Also missed BBM's point about me, I think. (It wasn't that I wasn't playing well, but rather my plays didn't line up with my previous readslist)
Polaris -- I don't really know where to put him, but he's been moving his vote like crazy. I ran out of colors to represent him!

no, jokes aside, this is a total 180 from his previous stance on lynching a lurker. unless you genuinely have an issue with daiyas content (of which there is not much of), serela, im going to hold you to your own words that "randlynching someone who provides little info on death unless they miraculously flip scum is bad"

Have you considered voting with your scumreads? It's Day 1, they're probably wrong anyways, and maybe this way you get more info by giving your scumreads what they want and seeing their alignment.

The meow wagon feels purer to me. At worst neutral on everyone voting there. Don't feel the same way about the yaersulf wagon with daiya and raikaria there and NNR who is probably town at this point but I've disagreed with his reads almost all game

Cut by daiya switching but could be a late bus at this point so that's fine

NNR literally hampering himself twice cause of his probably small feeling about me being scum feels less like a genuine feeling and more like an excuse.

I'll enjoy picking through that later.
Your entire list of reads is a big "maybe" on everyone (while giving BBM a pretty murky town pass) and all of your votes have been completely devoid of context or with abysmal context, not to mention the reason you stated voting me.

I could use that as reason alone to vote you and I probably plan to push you D2, should I live to see it.

But half the players feel like they're griefing so it's really just a strawberries hand to be dealt.

I don't think we're going to turbo anyone in the last 30 minutes when we've barely managed to get a large wagon the vast majority of the day so far.

Post by: Serela on April 17, 2020, 01:36:48 AM
daiya's existing content is scummy because of the fact that there's nothing else in it but slight dips on his votepark tom, and whatever voteswap he did in his last post for end-day consolidation

i mean yes that's sort of a 'lack thereof' but the way i said it isn't wrong >:T

I literally clearly explained at the start of the day that active lurking is scummy and what I meant was 'don't lynch someone for not being present d1' aka zwerd and banana spritzee's prods

it's not my fault you misunderstand my very clearly worded and specific points!!

Yeah I did consider the daiya lynch but ultimately felt like not enough time and my brain was already too fried for me to know if I was thinking rationally or just being too indecisive

I would strongly look at daiya tomorrow I think especially if meow flips scum this is a pairing that makes sense because daiya voted a counterwagon and only switched last min after the lynch was locked in

Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Night One)
Post by: Fabloo on April 17, 2020, 06:08:11 PM
An unfortunate turn of events. I wish to give my interpretation on such, along with those involved.

NekoNekoRex

I don't know what to think about Neko. His words are seemingly less strong than what I remember. Perhaps something needs to be stirred inside to get a call to action. His entrance into this game from what I remember was mostly formalities, and he kept a lot of his reads at arm's length. Cautiousness for someone like this doesn't sit right with me. His stubborness from what I observe is his most defining trait. I think it would be preemptive of me to judge him entirely on this, but right now I cannot townread him in good conscience. I think he is being too careful.

BigBangMeteor

I have talked a great deal about this slot. It takes a lot to lead a mislynch. I don't think this was calculated on his part. Nothing suggests that scum's agenda was to vote meow56. The way votes laid bare I have a feeling that it just ended up being a good vote. Given it wasn't on them. How does this tie into BBM? I was concerned about him. I think in some aspect I still am. I don't think he is a ringleader though. At best a goon. I can't trust myself to be correct on this read until something is apparent to me. Right now if I had to make an absolute decision I would give BBM benefit of the doubt though. That's slightly contradicting. It's all processed in my previous thoughts about him. I think what BBM does next after this mislynch determine where the pendulum swings for me.

Yearsulf

I don't like this slot. I don't like what happened yesterday. For someone who was apparently willing to be be the mislynch he showed no care for who got lynched besides him. This doesn't require complexity. He switched his vote about three times during end of deadline. These are common things to look out for. Not caring who dies as long as it isn't him. Someone said that him thinking I had a cop claim on him and his response to it was townie but I fail to see it. In the face of adversity it's scum best interest to deny. deny. deny. Even if it seems silly. This is a very common thing to do. Go look at any instance of a scum being caught out by something. There is nobody. Not even the most inexperienced scum that will just admit they're caught. The only option he had was to feign ignorance and double down on his read on me. His semi-claim gave no info as well and he didn't even state his gender. I'm not going to keep this a secret anymore. Gender is a mechanic in this game. I was hush about it but maybe another one of my reads will make sense. That unwillingness to reveal his gender for his role means that he has information that regular townies would not. I strongly suggest others reconsider their thoughts on him with this information.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Night One)
Post by: Fabloo on April 17, 2020, 06:20:41 PM
Raikara

Par for the course. Not worried about their content too much. Not really keeping an eye on him either. I think his vote on Tom was probably the most inoffensive but also felt the most thoughtful. I like this from people. I think scum are capable of pretending to be that way but something about Rai just seems. Earnest. Earnest is a good way to describe his presence. That was how I felt last game too. I would need more information or a better understanding of his behavior differs when he is scum. Right now I feel just fine with him.

Tom

Tom is. Tom is different. I made a strong stance about Tom and said he had to be town because of what he's done. I explained this already in detail so I won't go over it again. Tom does things that show his inexperience. Tom does things that are somewhat scummy. His vote onto me and his vote onto the meow56 wagon really didn't have much conscious thought beyond thinking about the game mechanically. Inexperienced players tend to look at this game as just that. A game. A game to be learned. A game to be processed and to develop strategies. They don't see that this game has more to it and social interaction strongly determines outcomes. People who are experienced may take offense to this because it doesn't seem like things make sense. I instead saw it as a townie who was cautious. Tom surprised me though. I think I read one of his posts and was shocked it came from someone inexperienced. It's true that as scum he could probably look up things on Mafia Scum. Suggest no lynches. Make the posts he makes. To most people his inexperience is not an excuse. I get this. I just don't think it's the right call. Not now at least. Tom will likely stick around for a long time. He doesn't impose any threat. I would be willing to listen to those who were determined to lynch Tom or why they believe they're scum. So long as they're willing to listen to me.

NucleusWaffles

Referring back to what I said about Gender being a mechanic. Nucleus claimed that his role pertains to Gender in order for it to work. I read this as townie because I don't know if a scum openly claims their abilities so early. There was townie intent to say he wanted to know everyone's gender by N2 for..something. That's about as far as my thoughts go on Nucleus. I'm reading him as town purely on mechanics and his claim of them.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Night One)
Post by: Fabloo on April 17, 2020, 07:55:38 PM
Right. Continuing further.

Disquieted

Disquieted to me is someone that is attuned to themselves. Kind of like Serela but with more method through the madness. His walldrop was surface level good. I had no problem with it. The underlying factor to me though that everything inbetween doesn't seem too convincing. If I were to gauge Disquieted at a player level, I think someone who understand themselves can provide enough range to belt out a few meandering walls and call it a day as scum. The claims presented by those walls however. A bit empty. Saying a lot but not really saying anything. When Disquieted dropped a huge thesis onto the thread it had purpose. His posts here seem directionless. On top of this strange deprecation throughout his posts. Mafia sucks. I should go. I don't know what to do. Maybe he should change his name to Dispirited for this game. The trick here for me to read him is trying to understand what is ailing him. Right now I'm led to believe it's being used somewhat similar to the way Serela has used it. Self-aware players are especially prone to this. I have a feeling Disquieted is someone that knows himself so well that he may mistakingly exaggerate finer points of his personality without realizing it. Those small cracks are what concern me. I don't know why he gave up Polaris so easily if he believes in his own ability to convince. It doesn't sit right.

Serela

Speaking of. Both me and my sister agree something is wrong. Emotional players lead with their emotions. The problem is that when you're scum you rely on them to make yourself seem more convincing. His emotions led so far just seem like placeholder for empty thought. Not really thinking about anything. If Disquieted is directionless then Serela seems to have no purpose beyond shouting into the void. If I were to break it down simply. He's not really scumhunting. Disquieted at the least has made an attempt but Serela seems content getting by. Trying not to just repeat what I said about him earlier. Keep an eye on him. Please.

Daiya

He's here and then he's not here. He has posts and yeah they exist. He exists. He does a lot of existing. I wouldn't say full passiveness but just sort of. The quietest voice in the room. Is that intentional on his part as scum? I don't really know. I would probably like to hear from people who know him about this. I don't think Daiya is being careful. I think he's being humble. His presence doesn't seem too foreboding. He lightly gestured to Tom and then sat on him for the majority of the thread. Right now not my priority, but if the behavior keeps up that might have to change.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Night One)
Post by: Fabloo on April 17, 2020, 08:07:03 PM
Zwerdjib

I like him. I have no strong feelings other than. He can keep doing what he's doing. His vote onto Disquieted was very bold. It doesn't feel like last game where he was purely reactionary. It's possible that players can pick up on their mistakes but. Maybe he is really just excited to be town. Not much else to say.

Bardiche/Banana Spritzee

What a strange replace out. I..didn't really have much to say about him before he left. I still don't. Spritzee said one thing about being town and then never posted again. Null as null can be.

Polaris

This is. This is a big one. You'd think I'd have a ton to say but I think Polaris says it himself. For the sake of argument, I think that anxious scum is definitely something that can exist. Scum who flood threads or cause confusion. Chaos. I don't remember entirely what Disquieted thought about Polaris or what it really meant but the only thing I can see possible by Polaris if he's scum is that he is reveling in this chaos. However? I don't see it. Meow died and said he suspected Tom & Polaris. I had to reel it back in and think about how I felt. There's just. It's like there's too many mistakes to be made to be scum. That's what I tell myself. Flailing? Perhaps. I don't think he was pushed that far though. If anything. He pushed himself. You create your own madness. I looked back about what Polaris said where he doesn't care about what happened ot me and he was gonna delete his account. That didn't seem like an appeal. I think that was absolving his own guilt if he was wrong. He seemed very prideful. He doesn't want to go against something when he feels strongly.  Despite that. He let it go. It shows he's not unreasonable. At least not stupid. He's taken such a strong role in terms of how the day progressed and how it ended. I don't think he's the ringleader I was talking about either. He'd be playing a fantastic scum game otherwise. Is that within his capability?
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Night One)
Post by: Fabloo on April 17, 2020, 08:13:44 PM
I think that's everyone.

I think tommorow we should lynch Yearsulf. We should look in Serela, Disquieted, Daiya and Neko. These are not definitive. As in I don't think this comprises the scumteam. Looking into them suggests that we should put them in a position that will cause them to open up and perhaps show more of their intentions. I think I could be wrong about Tom. Maybe even Polaris. I won't worry about it yet.

I townread Zwerdjib, Polaris, Raikara, Tom, PX, Nucleus.

I am null on BigBangMeteor, banana spritzee.

If I die, then I've left everything I could.

In addition to your ability to post in thread and vote, you have the following abilities:

You win when all threats to your faction have been eliminated. Best of luck.

I'm just a boring old townie with no special powers. I'd be no big loss. I'd tell you my role gender too but well, I'ma have to put it down as "androgynous anime" without visiting the Ys wiki.

meh I was planning on opening with a daiya vote but after thinking it over I just don't feel like doing it after meow flipped town. not a huge fan of their tom vote but I feel like it just doesn't really make sense to swap for scum daiya to swap from yaersulf to meow unless yaersulf is also scum. at the point when daiya switched, meow was already edging out yaersulf for the lynch so there was no reason to tie himself (herself?) to the wagon.

the daiya-yaersulf scumbuddy theory has merit to it because daiya softdefended yaersulf earlier in the phase as part of his vote on tom, but chose to place his consolidation vote on yaersulf over meow when meow was up like 7-1 in votes. then he switched to meow after meow was up only 6-5 in votes. this pattern of events is easily explained by daiya voting yaersulf cuz he didnt want to be part of a mislynch, but then flipping when it seemed like yaersulf might actually be lynched.

BUT I don't see the point of voting daiya if imo them being scum is conditional on yaersulf being scum, and I don't currently think yaersulf is scum.

i didnt realize ys was a fire trucking harem game

I feel like a proud parent, although I definitely was not the only person arguing against your lynch, I am so glad you are here.

Also, props to Disquieted for the motivating wall in D1, I liked it alot and got super town vibes from it.
 
However, I still don't think Fabloo is on the right track entirely, although his wall is indeed well written.

 Mafia is, as you said, social strategy plus layers of deception, while your analysis are valid like reading from a horoscope. It becomes difficult to digest all your content once I try to memorise the 12 zodiacs and their luck for the day.

Basically, my gut doesn't trust Fabloo's wall.

And Yaersulf's as well, but I can't exactly pinpoint why

Your entire list of reads is a big "maybe" on everyone (while giving BBM a pretty murky town pass) and all of your votes have been completely devoid of context or with abysmal context, not to mention the reason you stated voting me.

I could use that as reason alone to vote you and I probably plan to push you D2, should I live to see it.
NOTHING

THERES ACTUALLY TIME TO PUSH LYNCHES THAT ARE NOT strawberries

another point in daiya's favour: early in the game after nucleus dropped some info about his role and tried to get a massclaim or something going, daiya had a good analysis on it that concluded on nucleus being tryhard town. not only was it analysis i agree with it showed a lack of scum intent because daiya could have plausibly pushed a vote here on nucleus. it was pretty early so maybe daiya didnt want to draw attention to himself, but even then there's no reason to state a townread instead of just ignoring it. minor but still something that tips the scales towards town daiya.

i'm not a big fan of raikaria's vote on yaersulf. it just feels weird. half of it is basically for vote timing on the fabloo wagon. it's unclear why he finds yaersulf worse than tom. He says the vote is more "topical" but it's not really the point in the game where consolidation is necessary yet (still 18 hours left). i also just... don't like that the only people he's pushed all game are newbies. He specifically says he doesn't want to give a newbie pass but surely uh you dont think dormio is going to make 2 people newbscum together? gonna read some more ppl but I think he's in the lead for me right now. bit frustrating he's out BATTLING CORONAVIRUS rather than PLAYING MAFIA

@tom- ok but so? how does this help us determine who's scum? whose votes on those wagons are scummiest? do you think it's the people on the middle of the wagons? the end?

I'd support a Serela lynch, if I have to. He wasn't memorable D1, and I usually can gut serela Town pretty easily.

I also still don't like Yeur, I don't like his trolly posts, and I still hate we lynched meow over him.

I still don't like a LOT of players this game, but this game is making me ANGRY very early, and I am upset.

I'm not good at this game so take my interpretation with a grain of salt, I'm just putting the raw data out there so the pros can start a meaningful conversation.

If you still want to hear my opinion Serela seems most suspicious since they were present on all 3 out of the 4 wagons and dropped the hammer on meow.  In my newb opinion the mafia would want to hammer a L-1 with the timer running out since they knew meow was town and doing so would take out 2 townies going into day 2 whereas a no-lynch would only leave us down 1 vote.

STOP VOTING BASELESSLY

After finishing Strike Witches, I was stuck on the way that, when performing magic, the girls developed cat ears and tails for no apparent reason. The Strike Witches producers knew what decades of anime has already confirmed: cat ears on women are cute.

For the past two weeks, I have been trying to dig a little deeper. We already know that catgirls (and catboys) are adorable, but why do we feel that way? And why are they so prevalent in anime? So far, I have a theory:

Cat ears resonate with ancient human mythologies. There were the cat gods, worshipped by the ancient Egyptians, including the fierce and beautiful Bastet. More closely tied to anime was the Japanese bakeneko, a cat demon who could disguise itself as an alluring woman. According to the Catgirl Research Foundation, there are also more catgirl myths from Britain, Ireland, and South Africa.

However, I haven’t yet been able to find much to support or disprove my claims. I’ve tried the forums of the Catgirl Research Foundation, contacted Kittenplay.org, posted a call for suggestions on the Livejournal kitty_ears community, even reached out to a few anime academics.

why is being on a major wagon suspicious? we only know that 1/4 of those wagons was town for sure. can assume 2 if you add fabloo in there. and he stated that both yaersulf and meow were for consolidation purposes.

why did you vote meow last phase btw?

also I don't particularly want to go into another diatribe about why a mislynch is preferable to a no lynch but it would have been scummier if serela had NOT hammered after promising he would to consolidate on a lynch.

BBM, you talk about how you worry about Serela then convince yourself halfway that there could be something misunderstood. Are you worried about making a preemptive decision after mislynching meow?

It's not about immediacy really. Covering options and considering them is fine. I did the same thing overnight. I just would like to see people's faith I guess. Faith meaning who they think is scum or where to go next.

You have NNR right now whose faith is that you knew something about his role. I personally think he's blowing this out of porportion. I don't even feel like it's actual anger. The frustration he had last game from memory was based on someone more potent. This is just speculation and I don't know if he gets all pissed about it this easily.

I'm going to double down on this. After voting me, and keeping his vote on me (while hinting at my role flavor), he unvotes me, but gives a cryptic read of me in his reads post that vaguely implies he knows more.

NekoNekoRex

I'm not dropping him any lower than this cause he's been kind. I don't think he's very towny, but I'm certainly not going to press this today and let this thread devolve into more than it is. Ask me later, it's just a mild feeling given his position in the game and it's not important right now.

He also admits that meow is a likely easy D1 lynch
Quote
meow56
[snip]
Maybe this is an easy Day 1 lynch, but Day 1 is always a bit wack anyways, sorry.
but ends up doubling down on it at the end of the day regardless

he has been switching his vote constantly, which I think is either deliberate to make chaos or to hide the fact he can't actually come up with a tactful case to push a lynch, because he's scum.

BBM come vote serela with me, i wanna see him crack under pressure

got it boss ##Vote: Serela

seriously speaking i'm a bit unsure here. my gut is that serela is town but i read his d1 and uh it's a lot fluffier than i thought it was. he's actually kinda parking on fabloo from RVS until the mason claim. the vote starts off as just a step up from RVS cuz fabloo empty unvotes. i'm fine with that at that stage but then he kind of just gets into a slapfight with fabloo because fabloo calls me and him suspicious and draws that into a serious vote. after he unvotes fabloo he votes daiya for a little bit but switches pretty quickly to consolidate. nothing is super scummy but it's just kind of eh.

serela, what are your reads on daiya and yaersulf currently? would you still lynch yaersulf or was it all for consolidation? do you think daiya is still the scummiest? what do you think of my logic for daiya being town?

lastly, if you're scum and your buddies are within raikaria/banana/smartbomb/nucleus I suggest you give up. I'm a 5-shot vig who can use all my shots in one phase and I'm planning on killing all of you tonight because that's what my PoE is down to.

Post by: Disquieted on April 18, 2020, 03:47:05 AM
Ok. I usually need time and effort to consider what I want to do and that's usually not right now. But I'll try.

I don't mind Serela going under the microscope. Banana spritzee goes under the microscope cause whatever Bardiche has done won't matter if we have someone who doesn't care about the game, in the game, so even if I think he's town he should probably get pressure anyways.

I think Daiya is my number one option for lynch right now and I'd have to reorganise and reason why I'd want to go that way, but, yes, number one option.

I have very, very mild concerns about NucleusWaffles. And I suppose also raikaria, but much less. I also want to double-check Tom for a bit, maybe I'll get there, maybe I won't.

Polaris and BBM exist in a similar headspace for me right now, and I don't really have any comments on anyone else.

NNR gets to live because he has cute ears, as I've made very clear. That's my reasoning.

(He might be faking it. Who knows. It's an assumption. But if he's doing something like this, the reasons I would be suspicious of him in the first place no longer exist, which means I'd be dealing with paranoia instead.)

speaking of votecount analysis i want to believe that one of the reasons it's been hard to do (hopefully you agree with me and you found it hard to do) is that zeenana literally did not exist, and zeenana is scum

this is mostly just speculation though

bbm please vote, it's almost like you don't have a scumread and you're scaring me

yeah well what happens when you play too much mafia is that you realize 99% of scummy things are actually just town fire trucking up so you stop being able to scumread anyone who's posting actively

i do think there's a strong chance that like half the scum or more are lurkers though.

I added nucleus back to the pool of potential scum because in hindsight i've been giving him too much of a pass for the early day 1 stuff. (yeah i know i said like ten minutes ago that i agreed with daiya's ed1 tryhard town analysis of nucleus). he's at the bottom of my prio list but shouldn't be completely out of it probably

It is baseless speculation and I should be focusing on the fact that I think he's actually scummy and have reasons to push such.

But it's also weirdly convenient that he mentions my ears when that happens to be a stated point of my role flavor?

I don't know. I'm mostly angry about meow.

@nucleus what happened between these two posts?

I agree with Tom, we should no-lynch now and wait better for the abilities to do their thing.

Thanks NNR for answering me about quicktopic upkeep.

I don't understand why there is pressure on Bardiche, and why, conversely, has there not been pressure on meow56, zwerdijib, and disquieted.

These persons have been lurking, and disquieted only contributed by saying 'I am chewing' which is well, not helpful in the lightest sense of the word.

I also don't like how much zwerdijib is swearing, although the new filter is much better.

Meow56 how fast do you type? I personally am quite fast on the keyboard but not exactly too eager because I don't like to make mistakes here. Do you like the Bardiche lynch?

I don't like the Bardiche lynch, I also read the mafiascum wiki but lynching lurkers should not be a policy in games with strong meta tells. We have a player base where many persons know each other and a well-documented player meta history. Therefore it is incorrect to lynch lurkers unless they are actively making the game harmful.

In addition, the mafiascum guide states its only helpful to lynch lurkers when there's a sufficiently large pool of inactive lurkers for scum to hide.
Right now, our only pool of inactives are zwerdijib, meow56, and disquieted.

This should not be a lynch-all-lurkers policy today, it won't exactly be helpful.

Thank you for your kind gesture.

I hope we can kickstart something now, dwelling on this the longer the worse I feel.

I-----

Don't agree with the Tom wagon, I think he raises quite reasonable points from a statistical angle.

I like the raikaria wall.

I would rather lynch lurkers now. I want to see some activity.

I feel for Disquieted, it seems all effort has been voided.

nucleus doesn't have any content basically other than fabloo vote but ??? new player idk.

Mafia is, as you said, social strategy plus layers of deception, while your analysis are valid like reading from a horoscope. It becomes difficult to digest all your content once I try to memorise the 12 zodiacs and their luck for the day.

Post by: BigBangMeteor on April 18, 2020, 04:13:27 AM
ok, so speculation on nucleus's role that is probably dumb, but

according to him his role can't work on male characters. there are, according to the votals today, 2 male players alive. meow was also a male character, so basically there are 3 male characters total in the setup. now, nucleus claimed that his role is also a male character. so basically, his role condition prevents him from targeting exactly 2/14 of the other players in the game. does that strike anyone as a really useless limit in terms of role balancing? and one of those players is vanilla so like who cares if they are targeted? now, it's clear that flavour is more important to this game than I previously thought so maybe nucleus's character is just like sylvain in 3 houses and only talks to women or some strawberries and that's why dormio put it in. it's also pretty unlikely that nucleus would just make up the gender thing on the spot even as scum but idk something seems off

why is being on a major wagon suspicious? we only know that 1/4 of those wagons was town for sure. can assume 2 if you add fabloo in there. and he stated that both yaersulf and meow were for consolidation purposes.
Like I said take my interpretation with a grain of salt and I already explained my reasoning (that they'd get 2 kills and reduce our power by 2 votes, so they'd jump on any wagon that lands them a free kill)

why did you vote meow last phase btw?

Fabloo, unrelated, but this is why I deliberately pull my punches a lot of the time.

I vote someone once and someone tries to take it to its conclusion. Imagine if I made a case.

They might even be town and I might be wrong. I go into every thought like that and writing many words makes is sound like I'm convinced when I'm not. My problem is that doesn't show unless I blatantly say it. And I don't want that on my conscience.

I write words to be clear. I don't write words cause I unabashedly think someone is scum.

yeah so the real wagon is like 5/3 (meow doesn't count since it's not me over me too) i put serela back on yaersulf since he only switched to meow to hammer.

yeah imo serela's waffle looks the worst here. daiya's swing vote onto meow actually looks relatively good in comparison, so maybe the scum is smartbomb? i'm actually ok with that. still think zeenana is scum which is why it's so hard to analyze

was about to go to bed but i just remembered that smartbomb was actually an early vote on the wagon, not a late vote (forgot he unvoted and revoted a bunch of people so he got pushed back to the end), so i don't think i can use VCA as evidence to doubt him, it's ultimately null.

I am paranoid if just saying 'male' was too much information, it is very accurate how much appears to be intuited based on what little information I provided.


I am currently quite weak role-wise to amount to anything, so I would prefer if we do the tried-and-true method of voting pattern analysis now that we are in D2 and we should not be derailed by role speculations.

^Liked his logic and powerful intuition

NekoNekoRex (1): Disquieted

banana spritzee (1): Yaersulf
^Leaves hardly an impression

NucleusWaffles (0):
^Paranoid, I did my fair share of reading in Ys lore and mafia meta

Polaris (0):
^Active and quick to switch votes

Tom (0):
^Data man, does not vote easily

Fabloo (0):
^I don't like his attitude. I read him as third party survivor lovers team in a 15P game, but he seemed glad to pick up on the masons claim and roll with it.

I don't mind his powers which are benign now, but both PX and Fabloo I want lynched before MyLo 

raikaria (0):
^Has a medical job which is very ethical, probably a good lynch just for the sake of his mental wellbeing

Yaersulf (0):
^All actions with abstract train of thought, I would vote

BigBangMeteor (0):
^Highly respected by Disquieted, also produces well articulated walls and very likable.
Was also in old MoTK games, buddying with Disquieted

Daiya (0):
^I forgot about him as of typing this sentence

PX (0):
^Team with Fabloo, power lurker who definitely seems less honest and upfront, how active are you in the 'masons' chat? Fabloo, really you should consider if PX is shaping your opinions. Of course, the argument wouldn't apply if both of you 'are' survivors

Sorry, I lost my post.

In summary, I made a long Finger of Suspicion noting how except meow (who was being lynched) had tons of vote activity, Yaesulf, you voted very actively during the last stages,  I see you use your vote as a weapon of pressure very liberally, but that is not very consistent.

Conversely, I am curious about the grouping of Serela with myself. I find Serela more similar to Daiya, both in terms of voting patterns and the posting pharsing and style and intervals.

I think in terms of personality and use of votes I am closer in personality to Disquieted and BBM, and vote usage I align much nearer to Tom.

I don't see how that would be a power that would benefit them for anything except passing themselves off as masons, which seems a bit unreasonable.

I find Neko very dramatic and seems town in how he draws attention to himself but avoids substantial logic, this is a survival-focused strategy, and does not seem scum.

He also applies his vote quite strategically, so despite his prose he clearly has a fair head on his shoulders

I honestly have suspicions about the masons claim. Masons, according to mafiascum, can be in some situations more powerful or equivalent to a cop.

However, if its true that by D2 our tracker is gone and mason lovers are outed now (if true), other town power roles really need to step up their game now and vanilla towns should draw the nightkill attention as much as they can because power-wise we are urgently at a big disadvantage.

Third parties are jesters of mafia, according to mafiascum.

Lovers with nighttalk and such control over information (greatest asset in mafia, every vote is lethal) is not town-sided at all.

Town functions best as a communist faction, scum functions best as a capitalist faction. To end this interrogation, I surmise power roles are an evil impurity and we should seek to reject it as pure Lunarians.

Hmh.

i think i'm pretty comfortable with voting tom, atm. his arguments on their own aren't particularly scummy, but i also feel that he isn't really approaching this game with a scumhunting mindset, which i find odd considering that he's been doing his homework. as far as newbies go, yaersulf's approach feels more genuine to me, for juxtaposition's sake

but yeah, ##vote: tom

i'm a little irked that meow's been pretty much uncontested. correct me if i'm wrong, but i don't think i've really seen anyone defend them. it doesn't feel like we'd get much info from this wagon if they were to flip town.

##unvote
##vote: Yaersulf

i feel more a bit more comfortable with this. his interactions have been diverse enough to help us learn a thing or two if this goes wrong.

apologies for flipping like this. i'm not too convinced on yaer anymore and i don't think the meow train can be stopped atp

 ##vote: meow56

this is exactly what happened to me, so i'm really sorry if you flip town

Daiya, your yaer progression is problematic, to put it lightly.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Two)
Post by: Disquieted on April 18, 2020, 11:08:33 AM
Like let me walk through it from your perspective, cause that's a serious problem of what's happening right now with reads in this thread. Yeah?

Daiya, you say Yaersulf's approach feels genuine, yes? That implies you think he's townie, or at least townier than most newbies (as you say, Nucleus is probably your highest townread both as a newbie and as a player in this game total).

You then move to Yaersulf as a vote. Now let me see if I remember the context of this vote off the top of my head, but it's a choice between Yaersulf, meow, with maybe Serela or Fabloo left in the dust. So, yeah, if you put this down to a binary choice between Yaersulf or meow this is fine. But the reasoning doesn't really fit.

First off, meow's wagon being uncontested shouldn't outweigh a townread you already have - and in fact it's the only other townread you have aside from nucleus and if you squint at it a bit, me. So I get the problem with meow having a large wagon but you're not really putting much stock in Yaersulf's towniness that you just stated, except that they're your second most confident townread.

I have a severe problem with this cause in a vacuum? Your second post is fine and if you just read it in the moment, fine. But as is, this doesn't really gel with your perception of the gamestate.

The third post is really questionable here cause, well I called this out as being insincere and when I look at it now, it kind of is. I think the biggest issue I see here apart from a very generic toneread is that you "weren't too convinced on yaersulf anymore" but if I'm reading through your posts, you shouldn't have been convinced on your yaersulf vote or against meow (given the only problem you have with meow is how big his wagon is, which in the whole scheme of things shouldn't be a huge problem for you to avoid yourself).

So. Daiya?

Uh, hi, I'm sure you used your ability last night? Do you have any comment on your usage last night, and the fact that your ability blanks on most of the game or the restriction you have doesn't matter?

My powers are aligned with the universe. Thus, I cannot comment on the matter at this moment.

Nucleus the way I see it is:

1)You have a special town role, the scum already basically know this at this point. Therefore you may as well reveal what it actually does because that's not going to make you any more of a target. (Certainly not more of a target than Fabloo/PX)

2)The reason you want to know people's gender is for some scummy purpose, which you would still have a reason to obfuscate. Therefore, hiding your role makes you seem more scummy.

So come clean already.

Special powers are not performed in the night, Yaersulf.

Our special powers are unique to each person's standing, pattern and choice of words, voting habits, etcetera.

I gave an answer to Disquieted which only him, or players similar to himself, would likely understand.

My special power is my words, I am able to speak in the public, but even if I am to speak in an anagram it would become obfuscated for all but myself. Such sort of breadcrumbing is useless until pointed out. I am not leaving such sort of breadcrumbs which only serve to make a scene at the hanging.

Nonetheless, I am dropping ideas, I see our standoff as a big idea which is happening now.

For my questions, what are your opinions on Serela and PX and Fabloo?

Post by: Daiya on April 18, 2020, 02:23:25 PM
Like let me walk through it from your perspective, cause that's a serious problem of what's happening right now with reads in this thread. Yeah?

Daiya, you say Yaersulf's approach feels genuine, yes? That implies you think he's townie, or at least townier than most newbies (as you say, Nucleus is probably your highest townread both as a newbie and as a player in this game total).

You then move to Yaersulf as a vote. Now let me see if I remember the context of this vote off the top of my head, but it's a choice between Yaersulf, meow, with maybe Serela or Fabloo left in the dust. So, yeah, if you put this down to a binary choice between Yaersulf or meow this is fine. But the reasoning doesn't really fit.

First off, meow's wagon being uncontested shouldn't outweigh a townread you already have - and in fact it's the only other townread you have aside from nucleus and if you squint at it a bit, me. So I get the problem with meow having a large wagon but you're not really putting much stock in Yaersulf's towniness that you just stated, except that they're your second most confident townread.

I have a severe problem with this cause in a vacuum? Your second post is fine and if you just read it in the moment, fine. But as is, this doesn't really gel with your perception of the gamestate.

The third post is really questionable here cause, well I called this out as being insincere and when I look at it now, it kind of is. I think the biggest issue I see here apart from a very generic toneread is that you "weren't too convinced on yaersulf anymore" but if I'm reading through your posts, you shouldn't have been convinced on your yaersulf vote or against meow (given the only problem you have with meow is how big his wagon is, which in the whole scheme of things shouldn't be a huge problem for you to avoid yourself).

So. Daiya?
Yeah. Compared to Tom, I felt that Yaer was more genuine in his approach to scumhunting. In my early scum games, I would often hide behind probability and data, because it was far easier than attempting to bs reads on people. Whenever anyone questioned my act, I'd simply double down on it. That's something I saw in Tom, so I hope that makes my feelings on him a bit more clear. Anyone can hide behind data, and he's just making it all the more harder to read him properly.

When it came to the EoD votes, I admittedly ended up forcing myself into a false dichotomy in order to come to a consensus. It was a combination of really not wanting to lynch meow and finding yaer's joke votes kind of weird because I didn't...think they were jokes at first. It seemed like he was okay with lynching himself, but wasn't actually committed to it and switched the moment someone protested. Hence why it was ultimately the neko post I quoted that helped turn me around. You bringing up Yaer's interactions with Fabloo also had some influence there. Serela was an option and probably my preferred lynch in hindsight, but I'll get into that after this.

All-in-all, this is mostly on me for never documenting my entire line of reasoning. I think a lot of things and reconsider my reads constantly, so it's difficult for me to articulate posts in a concise manner at times. Please take that into consideration.

Post by: Serela on April 18, 2020, 02:39:31 PM
OK I did glance over the thread when I got home from work before bed (zzzzzzzzz) but let's start from the beginning of d2 again

I do still think Daiya is scummy but BBM's argument otherwise (based on the yaersult/meow wagon interactions lateday) is decent. I'm still kind of interested in voting them because I think an newbie scum is still likely to flop around where they think is best? And yaersulf seemed to be straight up trolling enough yesterday even while they were the biggest wagon that I wouldn't be surprised if they're scum either so "well this makes the most sense if daiya/yaersulf are scumbuddies" is an argument that wouldn't deter me with neither flipped. (later he says daiya's town for not trying to push a waffle vote at the start of d1:I think this is trying a bit hard to find clear reasons, voting nucleus over that is I think a generally bad idea for any alignment because it's simply not scummy, especially from someone on their first game)

nnr flips out over smartbomb saying he has cute ears... which... catgirls... uhm lmao. I don't think scum would have weird random info like this on d1 before they could even use a rolecop or something, nor would they make a case about it (it's cat ears, plz), so I'm PRETTY SURE he's just talking about YOU PRESENTING AS A CATGIRL. that being said this just kind of solidifies my nnr townread. i don't think he'd do this random freakout as a publicity stunt as scum or even conceive of it :U

Quote from: Tom
If you still want to hear my opinion Serela seems most suspicious since they were present on all 3 out of the 4 wagons and dropped the hammer on meow.
Fabloo was my scumread for most of the day and the other two wagons my vote was literally being held hostage by the need to consolidate. Mislynching is better than no-lynching as most people here are saying, when the end of the day comes up you decide which of the actual possible lynches are best even if you don't like them.

I would have rather lynched Daiya but meow and yaersulf were presented as the only realistic options. I TRIED to push Daiya over them a second time when like 3 people said "hmm or we could lynch daiya instead tho" but it didn't work :C Yaersulf doesn't look GREAT and I wouldn't have entirely minded but Daiya looked like, actually kind of scummy which is a lot better? I hopped off Meow because they came back with a comparatively pretty good post while Yaersulf flopped around trolling.

RE:BBM about my play, yeah, I didn't really have any strong priorities after Fabloo turned out to be a mason @_@ Daiya was my only other thing and lots of people TALKED about lynching Daiya but for some reason no want wanted to like, legitimately actually vote them? Then at the end of the day we had the meow lynch coming up and a bunch of people are like, "aww maybe we really should have lynched daiya instead, oh well too late" and I'm like, aghghghghghghhhhhhhh. Yeah I still think Daiya is scummy, yaersulf could go either way. The vote started for consolidation only, but then I didn't really like the way he reacted to being wagoned (trolling thread, selfvoting, flopping vote all over the place), but it's still all "throwing my hands up on the air having no idea because players on their first game". I definitely don't townread them, their end-of-day shenanigans has me on a scum lean

Quote from: bbm
lastly, if you're scum and your buddies are within raikaria/banana/smartbomb/nucleus I suggest you give up. I'm a 5-shot vig who can use all my shots in one phase and I'm planning on killing all of you tonight because that's what my PoE is down to.
BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD

Quote from: bbm
ok, so speculation on nucleus's role that is probably dumb, but

according to him his role can't work on male characters. there are, according to the votals today, 2 male players alive. meow was also a male character, so basically there are 3 male characters total in the setup. now, nucleus claimed that his role is also a male character. so basically, his role condition prevents him from targeting exactly 2/14 of the other players in the game. does that strike anyone as a really useless limit in terms of role balancing?
Honestly this makes more sense than if he couldn't target 30~50% of the players. Imagine a situation where there's like one random VT who's immune but the other person is the scumteam's obligatory immune-to-town-pr member? Not too interested in delving deeper into this right now (and I don't like that disquieted is trying to push the newbie into fullclaiming for basically no reason, there is absolutely good reasons for them to NOT be claiming in this gamestate) but honestly I could potentially be interested in the implications of this lategame if it pans out. E.G. later nucleus is more solidly town (altho I already think they're town), only 1 male person is left, other male flipped town, it'd legit make me suspicious of the remaining one. maybe not "voting you purely off this" but a good supporting reason

Quote from: Disquieted
Fabloo, unrelated, but this is why I deliberately pull my punches a lot of the time.

I vote someone once and someone tries to take it to its conclusion. Imagine if I made a case.
This seems overly cautious. "If I vote someone, people might actually lynch them. What if I was wrong? Imagine if I actually had made a case about it!" I don't understand how anyone would be able to actually play the game if we all thought like this XD Also, the cases you make are pretty important for everyone else reading you, too, so... anyway the second part of this post ("I write words to be clear, not because I think someone is unabashedly scum") is pretty logical.

That being said, I think disquieted has like... no real scumhunting stance? Their exclusive scumread is still Daiya. I mean, I AGREE with Daiya looking scummy, but also, calling daiya scummy takes no actual thread analysis or effort and that's pretty much where the content ends- ontop of being a waffley non-presence on D1 who'd write up things and then never take them anywhere or come up with actual significant opinions.

Polly:I was voting meow for consolidation purposes when they came back and made a good post and I'm like "yeah, no, I don't even want to vote this for consolidation anymore, yaer meanwhile is here trolling and looks way worse, I'm going over to THAT wagon again please. Also Daiya is still the only person I legit think is scummy can we do that wagon that everyone keeps mentioning interest in???" I don't even think this looks like a waffle.

Still waiting on Banana to make their grand appearance. It just occurred to me I can't remember anything Rai's done all game, which isn't a great sign. BBM/NNR/Waffle all probably town. PX/Fabloo masons. Tom is null. Polly I still can't read tbh because I feel like they declare a lot of stuff scummy that I'm like "yeah but actually, no, why are you even pushing this" which doesn't give me a good vibe, but they're also the most active player probably and that effort doesn't look like scum. Yaersulf somewhat of a scum lean. Daiya/Disquieted scummy oh yes I meant to do this in my earlier paragraph about them

##Vote:Disquieted

d1 non-commital waffley non-presence talking about things but going nowhere, entering d2 their only significant opinion is daiya, looks like scum going nowhere and sitting on the easy newbie vote

Ok I think that's everyone @.@ oh cut by daiya. Oh, Daiya does have mafia experience? I didn't know that, sorry whoops been calling you one of the first-game-newbies :U IIRC this is Daiya's first post today, do you have opinions about people yo :U

I'm back. Not much to read that got posted while I was gone. Gotta wonder how Serela doesn't remember me pushing on Tom and my stance that I don't agree with Newbie Passes, but other than that I guess I haven't really done much. Also Serela talking about other people waffleing? What universe is this?

Re-reading, specifically around certain topical players [Serela; Meow; Disquieted and a few others in particular]. This might take me a little while; especially as there's a good chance food will be ready at some point while I'm doing this, or at least writing up my thoughts.

But I WILL get something that is hopefully useful and coherent out in the next few hours. Promise.

In summary, I made a long Finger of Suspicion noting how except meow (who was being lynched) had tons of vote activity, Yaesulf, you voted very actively during the last stages,  I see you use your vote as a weapon of pressure very liberally, but that is not very consistent.

oh my god this is just wrong, that heatmap isn't showing a person's "voting activity", it's showing how many others were voting the person

After finishing Strike Witches, I was stuck on the way that, when performing magic, the girls developed cat ears and tails for no apparent reason. The Strike Witches producers knew what decades of anime has already confirmed: cat ears on women are cute.

For the past two weeks, I have been trying to dig a little deeper. We already know that catgirls (and catboys) are adorable, but why do we feel that way? And why are they so prevalent in anime? So far, I have a theory:

Cat ears resonate with ancient human mythologies. There were the cat gods, worshipped by the ancient Egyptians, including the fierce and beautiful Bastet. More closely tied to anime was the Japanese bakeneko, a cat demon who could disguise itself as an alluring woman. According to the Catgirl Research Foundation, there are also more catgirl myths from Britain, Ireland, and South Africa.

However, I haven’t yet been able to find much to support or disprove my claims. I’ve tried the forums of the Catgirl Research Foundation, contacted Kittenplay.org, posted a call for suggestions on the Livejournal kitty_ears community, even reached out to a few anime academics.

##Unvote
##Vote: NekoNekoRex


I'm just quickly gonna say I don't get this vote. It seems almost like an RVS vote since it's just all fluff and I don't actually see a real reason for it.

ok well that's a big :thonking:

anyway

##Vote: Serela

serela has been sheeping my vote all game and basically imploded when he couldn't sheep my vote onto himself so i wanna see it happen again :)

got it boss ##Vote: Serela

seriously speaking i'm a bit unsure here. my gut is that serela is town but i read his d1 and uh it's a lot fluffier than i thought it was. he's actually kinda parking on fabloo from RVS until the mason claim. the vote starts off as just a step up from RVS cuz fabloo empty unvotes. i'm fine with that at that stage but then he kind of just gets into a slapfight with fabloo because fabloo calls me and him suspicious and draws that into a serious vote. after he unvotes fabloo he votes daiya for a little bit but switches pretty quickly to consolidate. nothing is super scummy but it's just kind of eh.

serela, what are your reads on daiya and yaersulf currently? would you still lynch yaersulf or was it all for consolidation? do you think daiya is still the scummiest? what do you think of my logic for daiya being town?

lastly, if you're scum and your buddies are within raikaria/banana/smartbomb/nucleus I suggest you give up. I'm a 5-shot vig who can use all my shots in one phase and I'm planning on killing all of you tonight because that's what my PoE is down to.

So uh... you're voting for someone who your guts says is Town... because Polaris asked you to?

You have my blessings and assistance in your pressure tactic on Serela

##Vote: Serela


Am I the only one not liking any of the three quoted votes and their [lack of] actual caseing? BBM is the best, but he also seems to say he at least gutreads Serela as town.

Post by: Daiya on April 18, 2020, 05:03:03 PM
I mostly want to look into Pol/Serela/Disquieted today. See which pushes on me feel the most authentic, because I find it hard to believe that all three of you are town. Conversely, that should also mean that at least one of you is innocent...which is the hard part.

Starting with Serela, I'm having a hard time reading him. Most of his actions, including his push on me, feels like it had an authentic logical flow to it. "Daiya seems like an active lurker, and that's scummy" -> "I don't trust the current wagons" -> "This doesn't seem like it'll happen, so I'll go ahead with the hammer". I want to see how his reads on other players develop for now, but atm I trust him more than polaris and disq.

On a side note, Neko's okay, but I don't trust him very much. His flavor reasoning for tunneling disquieted seems grossly inauthentic to me considering that it takes less than a minute of thought to realize "hey this is probably impossible for him to know. why would he even crumb it in the first place"? it feels more like neko trying to emulate his own meta than actual concern. he did state that it wasn't his main reason though (which is his non-commiment to reads iirc), which i can get behind, but i fail to see why he isn't sussing polaris for the same kind of thing. Not too satisfied with my read on him atm, so I want to iso him again later.

Speaking of which, I think it'd be a lot easier to read pol pol if he wasn't acting cute all the time. He was one of the major driving forces behind Day 1, and that resulted in his scumhunting strategy seems to be pressuring people, setting up wagons, and going for whatever's the most convenient. Couple that with the fact that he still thinks turboing an actual inactive is a good idea, and yeah. i don't like him very much. There doesn't seem to be any real substance to him. He did feel strongly about Fabloo and lingerered on him for a bit, and he's basically conf town and I wasn't too sold on his reasoning. Seems to feel strongly about me too I guess, so for the first time in his life, his feelings are requited.

banana spritzee's new nickname is zeenana, like from neopets
(https://i.imgur.com/8i0a3jq.png)
would absolutely lynch zeenana

because of course not voting a person and not telling anyone else to vote that person is the best way to "turbo" them

Am I the only one not liking any of the three quoted votes and their [lack of] actual caseing? BBM is the best, but he also seems to say he at least gutreads Serela as town.

Can I just point out my apparent inability to count to four? This is what work then mafia does to a man. Brings him to his mental knees.

Is it bad that my opinions on people range from 'Null' to 'Looks pretty bad' and like half the game falls into the latter for me?

I mostly like Serela's recent post, except for his blooming vote reasoning. He literally says his reason for the vote could apply to half the game. So why does this make Disquieted worse than everyone else?

---

Does anyone else get a weird feeling that Zerdjib was the nightkill? I know quite a few people were saying he looks more town than last game [where he was scum, by the way THIS IS WHY WE DON'T GIVE TOWNREADS DAY 1, YOU GET YOUR TOWNREADS KILLED] but I don't think he was particularly a leading townie; particular threat to scum; or you know, even that active.

So then, set 1 of my investigation:

End of Day Votecount
meow56 (8): BigBangMeteor, Polaris, Yaersulf, Tom, PX, Disquieted, Daiya, Serela (Lynched!)
Yaersulf (3): raikaria, NekoNekoRex, meow56
Serela (1): zwerdjib
Fabloo (1): NucleusWaffles
Daiya (0):
Tom (0):
Polaris (0):
NekoNekoRex (0):
Disquieted (0):
BigBangMeteor (0):
banana spritzee (0):
raikaria (0):
PX (0):
NucleusWaffles (0):
zwerdjib (0):

Not voting: banana spritzee, Fabloo

Meow and Zwerdjib are CONFIRMED TOWN Unless this is a game where flips can lie. Which it probobly isn't.

Blue is Masons; they're not confirmed Town, but they are pretty much assumed to share alignment.

Banana is yellow for not existing

I am Orange because while I know I am CONFIRMED TOWN you guys don't know this for sure.

The lynch on meow56 was a rather easy lurker lynch that basically only just got over the line. What does this mean? It's very likly that scum were heavily involved in getting the mislynch over the line. We should totally be looking quite heavily at the meow wagon.

But the second aspect is looking at which people would target zwerdjib.

This is kinda like something I did during Day 3 last game. And I ended up being mostly correct about who was scum.

So then, I'm going into Part 2 of my investigation: Looking back at the votes and cases on Meow. And looking back at interactions with my prime suspects and Zwerdjib to try and find who on the Meow Wagon not only looks scummy doing so; but also seems to have reason to kill Zwerdjib.

if polaris is scum my scumdar is very badly busted and I should probably quit mafia forever. of course I should probably quit mafia forever regardless

@raikaria- tbqh like I admitted to polaris afterwards I'm not strongly scumreading anyone but I'm townreading like 8 people more strongly than serela so I decided to vote them to see how serela would react, like polaris suggested. On D1 when there was a flashwagon on Serela for a short amount of time he got panicky. I think that was fair given there really was like no reason why most of the ppl switched to him and it was close enough to day end that he would probably panic regardless of alignment. I wanted to see if he would still get panicky today under different circumstances and he didn't. I think his response was overall pretty good. sigh.

##Unvote

@smartbomb- what do you think of my reason for daiya not being scum? what incentive does scum daiya have to have that read progression on daiya unless yaersulf is their buddy? do you think yaersulf is scum?

I think my biggest issue with smartbomb is that despite the fact that he's made some good points he hasn't ever really had a lot of conviction in anything and the things he has pushed have been really weird. i can't figure out the town or scum intent for the nucleus vote. I feel like either alignment, if they're having trouble generating content, would pounce and push on what they can find.

I wouldn't say panicky (I didn't think the wagon was going anywhere) but I was definitely like "SCREAMING IN MAFIA ANGST" because there was literally no stated reasons why and yet the wagon was like 3~4 people >:U

anyway i'm running to work the main reason I posted anyway was-

I meant to say, "what incentive does scum daiya have to have that read progression on yaersulf unless yaersulf is their buddy?"

Given the still-lingering suspicion that PX/Fabloo might be third party + them being likely doc targets I think it makes sense for them not to be targeted with the nightkill. Of the most experienced players in the game, mostly everyone else had varying degrees of suspicion on them, and I was also the main leader of a mislynch. I was only slightly townreading zwerdjib but i don't believe anyone was scumreading him at all. when it first happened i did think it was weird but after thinking about it more it's not a bad kill. unlucky for us that he ended up being the tracker.

ftr I don't think lurker mislynches tend to be heavily scum-led. of course odds are someone on there is scum, but town ends up consolidating by themselves without much scum influence on lurkers because nobody is really townreading them strongly (other than NNR) so there ends up being little opposition. in comparison getting active players mislynched requires more effort from scum cuz there's more of a chance that there will be townies defending them.

i could just be projecting serela onto daiya because they're occupying the same headspace on me, but i called out serela for having reads that other people already conveniently had, and then daiya listed serela/smartbomb/me as his picks and then decided to vote for me, as if the motive was to vote independently of the current wagons (or wagon-and-a-half, considering smartbomb is only 2 votes) rather than to legitimately push me. combine that with a very surface level understanding of my posts (what i called him out for previously) and you get a case that doesn't seem like it was trying very hard. the recent post of "push me like smartbomb is doing" seems unusual if he thinks smartbomb is scummy, though it's more like he just hasn't posted about smartbomb so i can't really follow his read anyway.

Post by: raikaria on April 18, 2020, 06:44:00 PM
I'm kinda working backwards here, so bear with me:

Disquieted and BBM are setting up for pushing Daiya D2 at ED1 in #729/730.

Zwed seems to be somewhat pressureing Serela in #722; he's also notably voting Serela ED1 despite being around so near hammer.

BBM seems rather buddy-buddy with Smartbomb in #720

Zwed's vote on Serela seems to be 'no we're not voting Smartbomb'. Not the most useful interaction.

Disquieted votes on meow in #698 without any explanation. The lack of explanation is quite telling, since at this time; Fabloo and Yaersulf's wagons are both on 5.

BBM in #699 echos the 'not turboing Smartbomb' thing. More buddy-buddy. They have a habit of posting right after each other too.

#712; Daiya shows up and basically just wagonhops with the sentiment 'This can't be stopped *shrug*'. Not great.

The meow wagon feels purer to me. At worst neutral on everyone voting there. Don't feel the same way about the yaersulf wagon with daiya and raikaria there and NNR who is probably town at this point but I've disagreed with his reads almost all game

Cut by daiya switching but could be a late bus at this point so that's fine

Either BBM's reads are wrong, everyone on the Townie wagon was wrong, or BBM is scum.

Also; I don't particularly recall BBM previously expressing a bad read on me, but maybe I'll come across it.

NNR have you considered that I might be town

I don't like posts like this.


##Unvote:
##Vote: meow56


##Unvote
##Vote meow56


AAAARGHGHHH! Votes with no reasons! Are so unhelpful! Especially enmasse!

i'm a little irked that meow's been pretty much uncontested. correct me if i'm wrong, but i don't think i've really seen anyone defend them. it doesn't feel like we'd get much info from this wagon if they were to flip town.

##unvote
##vote: Yaersulf

i feel more a bit more comfortable with this. his interactions have been diverse enough to help us learn a thing or two if this goes wrong.

This post from Daiya makes their eventual wagonhop look more like a legitimate 'I'm consolidating'. Also; the 'no-one is defending them' seems like a legitimate concern and a good point.

Defensive vote just in case. ##Vote: Yaersulf Looks like it's me, though.

Here's a semi-rushed reads list! Now with reasoning!

Town
BigBangMeteor -- His insistence on my lynch has been a thing for a while now, so he seems good.
Disquieted -- Though a little disengaged early on, he's posted reads and he's been pushing them.
Yaersulf -- His reaction to Fabloo's roleclaim just felt townie to me.

Lean Town
raikaria -- Made good posts, I guess? Votes are piling up on me so apologies if this is lax.
Bardiche/banana spritzee -- Bardiche seemed town, but banana spritzee's lurking is dropping him.
Serela -- He just seems genuine, maybe it's just lack of meta knowledge though.
zwerdjib -- From what I recall he seems to be looking through things well enough.

Neutral
Fabloo/PX -- Not going to deal with these guys.
Tom -- Don't like the admission of lurking, especially don't like the sheeping during his "lurk period" but meh.
NucleusWaffles -- Should post more :(
Daiya -- Awaiting the promised post.
NekoNekoRex -- Felt like he wasn't posting much? Also missed BBM's point about me, I think. (It wasn't that I wasn't playing well, but rather my plays didn't line up with my previous readslist)
Polaris -- I don't really know where to put him, but he's been moving his vote like crazy. I ran out of colors to represent him!

Scumreads would have been helpful, but I guess 'null reads' are his 'scumreads'.

BBM in #683 a least is pushing on Meow on who he thinks is most likly to be scum, and Meow responds Polaris and Tom.

I strongly think Yaersulf is town, it's hard to see mafia reacting the way he did to Fabloo's claim, especially with the misunderstanding that he thought it was essentially a fake copclaim on him.

Dosen't this opinion conflict with the 'new player pass' attitude however? You can't attribute bad play to 'new player' and then say 'I can't see new player who is playing badly acting this way'.

im not feeling the yaersulf lynch. dont see the point of him lying down with a vanilla claim. seems too new to try WIFOM. his buddies would tell him to claim a PR to get a counterclaim

i'll consolidate if i have to obviously but meow is better. dont get serela wagon

And where is this sentiment when Meow lays down with a VT claim?

This post is raiseing alarm bells due to inconsistency; especially with his Smartbomb buddying.

God why are you voting meow over serela when you have meow as more suspicious

Also this post looks like a uge slip.

If meow is more suspicious than Serela... then you should be voting meow? Also why is this even a problem to BBM when BBM is voting Meow himself? Why would he be against this?

Also worth noting at this point:

Votecount
Yaersulf (3): Fabloo, raikaria, Tom
Serela (3): zwerdjib, PX, Polaris
Fabloo (2): NucleusWaffles, Yaersulf
meow56 (2): BigBangMeteor, Disquieted

Hmm. BBM and Smartbomb back to back again.

I actually really dislike BBM's end of day...

Also on my earlier point of hsi bad read on me:

i'm not a big fan of raikaria's vote on yaersulf. it just feels weird. half of it is basically for vote timing on the fabloo wagon. it's unclear why he finds yaersulf worse than tom. He says the vote is more "topical" but it's not really the point in the game where consolidation is necessary yet (still 18 hours left). i also just... don't like that the only people he's pushed all game are newbies. He specifically says he doesn't want to give a newbie pass but surely uh you dont think dormio is going to make 2 people newbscum together? gonna read some more ppl but I think he's in the lead for me right now. bit frustrating he's out BATTLING CORONAVIRUS rather than PLAYING MAFIA

'Raikaria is refusing to give out newbie passes and is pushing for people he states he thinks are making scummy play. This is bad'. - That's what I read here.

Aka: Raikaria is scumhunting newbies so he is scummy and the worst-looking player imo right now.

How does this logic work?

Also I'm under the impression that Roles are rolled for? The scumteam isn't curated by the GM as far as I'm aware. Dormio and other GM's don't manically laugh as they try and create the most hilarious scumteam.

All the newbies could be scum. Or none of them.

---

I think I've read enough. BBM has been buddying Smartbomb hard, has some really weird statements [Why are you voting Meow over Serela if you think Meow is more suspicious? How does this opinion make ANY sense?] and his read on me also makes no sense [Although this could be OMGUS talking. If someone else disagrees with my read of BBM's opinion on me, feel free to correct me].

But right now I'm happy doing this. I'm also not particularly impressed with Smartbomb's ED1 and those two come across as buddying to me.

##Vote: BigBangMeteor

Ok I think that's everyone @.@
oh cut by daiya. Oh, Daiya does have mafia experience? I didn't know that, sorry whoops been calling you one of the first-game-newbies :U IIRC this is Daiya's first post today, do you have opinions about people yo :U

I might be misinterpreting this but it feels like you're saying your Smartbomb vote could apply to everyone. On re-read I think I might be misinterpreting it. As I said, my brain is kinda melted down.

Post by: BigBangMeteor on April 18, 2020, 07:31:11 PM
ok this is sort of where i'm at on everyone right now.

strong townreads: fabloo, PX, polaris, NNR

Honestly I just can't see myself voting for polaris without some kind of role results or unless it's like, 3p lylo with me, him, and a mason left or something. his way of approaching the game has generally been good and even his non-content posts have a townie vibe to them.

if Fabloo/PX are survivor lovers I'm ok for blaming the loss on bad game design. 2p survivor lovers in a 15p game means that we're essentially in LYLO tomorrow and fire truck that.

I think serela summarized my feelings on NNR pretty well. i probably don't townread him quite as strongly as polaris but I don't want to have 10 tiers and it's close enough. also the stronger i townread him the more likely it is that he will be nightkilled, which is a plus because the gigantic all caps posts are annoying.

people not playing particularly well but who have done something I think is specifically townie: yaersulf, daiya, tom, nucleus

honestly my reads here are weakening a little because in the case of tom especially, the townie things they've done have been pretty long ago. after an ed1 where he was really active and his non-content came in a manner that seemed too hostile to be newbscum (sort of like Fabloo) he's sort of receded into coasting more and having a playstyle that I associate more with newbscum. the charts and stuff are nice and the effort is good, but content like that is relatively easy for scum to fake because it's factual and doesn't require faking a townie mindset. reading new players is Hard

I'm also weakening a bit on yaersulf but I still think d1 vanilla claims from people about to be lynched are town 90% of the time. scum just doesn't have an incentive to claim vanilla there, especially in a medium-sized game. odds are that whatever power role you make up won't be present in the game, and if it is, you force a counter-claim and then you have a new person to hook/kill. Also, something that's relatively easy to fake but only if he has a smart scumbuddy to tell him to do it, is him asking why PX/Fabloo weren't killed on N1.

I've spoken about daiya today. I will say that if yaersulf does flip scum, I would then strongly suspect daiya because the reason for townreading them is linked to yaersulf also being town.

also spoken about nucleus today. after thinking about it and reading their posts I put them back in this tier. there just isn't really anything specifically scummy they've done other than kind of coast a bunch.

you might notice that everyone in this tier is new. if i'm wrong on someone here it's probably either tom or nucleus.

gut townreads who have not done anything specifically townie: Serela

just spoke about this

lol inactive: Banana

imo Dormio should cajole a Banana who is more Serious to sub in here. if this slot doesn't start producing today, the vig should shoot them tonight. i really don't want to use a lynch on this slot given the extreme lack of interactions but honestly based on how few people I suspect I think there's a very strong chance this slot is scum. if this slot doesn't start producing and isn't vigged we should probably assume there either isn't a vig or the vig isn't listening to me (you fire trucker) and we should strongly consider lynching them tomorrow to get them out of the game. either that or dormio should modkill them for inactivity given that's in the rules (though inactivity modkills suck)

slight scumreads: raikaria, smartbomb

yeah I don't have any strong scumreads deal with it. also I got cut by raikaria voting me which I will address in a later post to prevent this post from being the Longest Post Ever

honestly a large part of this is just what's left over. one nice thing is that I think this works as a buddy pairing since I think smartbomb hasn't said much about raikaria and raikaria. raikaria has been vaguely suspicious of smartbomb but then also chainsaw defending him by attacking serela's vote on him?

I spoke about smartbomb recently and don't have anything more to add atm.

i've also analyzed raikaria's posts before the recent wall (whole post dedicated to that after this) something that pings me with raikaria is how many people he finds suspicious or not playing well? he says he finds almost everyone null to worse. that's a) obviously wrong, b) very different from how I'm reading people c) not exactly scummy but a trait scum often have because they want to leave as many people open for mislynches as possible.

also, despite him finding half the game suspicious he pretty much just votes newbs and then me. this case sure looks like "make sure BBM remains a viable lynch candidate" once NNR stopped actively suspecting me. i know this sounds arrogant of me (and tbh it is).

feeling about as good about this as i do about anything ##Vote: Raikaria THUNDERDOME LET'S GO BABY

Can I just point out that I have a very notable history of avoiding giving out my townreads and often chastise people for doing so.

And let's be entirely fair; half the game hasn't even done too much to make a read on.

I guess I should specify aside from BBM my scumreads are Tom, Yaersulf and to a lesser extent Smartbomb [Which is why I'm voting BBM over him].

Also while the accusation that I have 'only voted newbies' is a fair one, there's also newbies I haven't voted. I never voted Meow or Waffles; and I'd say Fabloo [Played 1 day phase] counts as a newbie too. It's not like I'm relentlessly hunting down newbie's heads.

And you're no newbie.

Post by: Polaris on April 18, 2020, 07:48:35 PM
i don't remember who said this but i remember reading this and i agree with it: i think giving out townreads is fine because that's just more opinions that scum have to make up, and it leaves a paper trail that could corner their mislynch options as the game progresses. it's also a great tool for process of elimination and (this might just be me) i see it as an indirect way to manipulate the scum NK as town (but maybe i just like having predictable NKs)

NNR would you lynch BBM with raikaria? i remember you not liking him before but give us an update

raikaria do you still think i'm town? you already said i was in d1 so right now is pretty much the only time i'll allow you to take it back. after that, no takebacks >:(
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Two)
Post by: BigBangMeteor on April 18, 2020, 07:48:57 PM
well I did separate myself out from newbie

want to state a couple things separately from my post responding to your vote on me because they're mostly theory

i think the idea to not post your townreads is outdated and wrong. yes, it slightly helps mafia know who to kill. but realistically unless they're dumb they can generally feel out who's town anyways by way of who's not being cased or who's being cased the least. however, if scum have to state their townreads it becomes harder for them to flip on those townreads later and push mislynches. it's not impossible but it requires scum to give good reasons for doing so. this makes it much harder for them to opportunistically wagon onto people. and flipping from a townread to a scumread at the same time as general opinion shifts a bit is imo one of the scummier things you can do (i say as i flip smartbomb from town to scum)

also, yes, you shouldn't give newbies passes. but newbies learn just from playing more and seeing for themselves the different ways in which scum and town act vs being mislynched for making mistakes. you can poke/prod/question them without just voting them for not playing well. that's why i keep pushing tom and asking him a bunch of questions about what the point of the charts was for example, and what he's trying to glean from making them, even though I think he's probably not scum. if you just vote newbs for not playing well you're a) probably going to be wrong b) reduce their exposure to lategame situations and c) probably going to dissuade them from playing more and getting better.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Two)
Post by: raikaria on April 18, 2020, 07:53:57 PM
If you give newbies that are playing badly free passes, and write off newbies as scum because they are newbies; that only helps scum.

We write them off as lynches, and if they're scum and not just playing badly, they get a free pass.

If they're town, and we're mislynching players who contribute more, we're weakening town. Scum won't kill the newbies who are hurting town either. So we're far more likly to lose in lategame as well.

Newbies should be treated the exact same way as anyone else. Bad and scummy play by newbies should be treated the same as bad and scummy play from anyone else.

Treating them any other way is actively anti-town. It inherently weakens town to give players who are playing scummy and badly free passes.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Two)
Post by: raikaria on April 18, 2020, 07:55:39 PM
Also it's not like newbies can't learn from observation, graveyard discussion, and such.

We learn from our mistakes. Everyone should be judged equally. I would judge a newbie's scummy play as harshly as anyone else's scummy play, and in my opinion it only hurts towns to do anything else.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Two)
Post by: raikaria on April 18, 2020, 07:59:17 PM
Also this is why being against lynching lurkers in early days when there's little~nothing else to go on is generally anti-town as well. A lurker isn't contributeing to town, and therefor isn't a target for the scum kill.

Worst-case scenario in a lurker lynch is we remove deadwood rather than an active townie. Best-case is we hit lurking scum trying to avoid the searchlight.

Priority #1 for Town is lynching scum.

Priority #2 for Town is minimising the damage a mislynch does to town.

Giving newbies a free pass for bad and scummy play inherently goes against both priorities; which is why I say that attitude is anti-town.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Two)
Post by: BigBangMeteor on April 18, 2020, 08:06:33 PM
but bad play is not inherently scummy play. it's extremely extremely wrong (imo) to keep saying "bad and scummy play" when the correlation between "bad play" and "scummy play" is not anywhere near as strong as you're making it out to be. and newbs are much more likely to play badly than experienced players (a hopefully non-controversial statement) regardless of their alignment. if you don't make that distinction, you're just going to be wrong.

the truth is, all of fabloo/daiya/tom/nucleus/yaersulf are not playing well, and are playing worse than you and smartbomb. i could lynch every single one of them (except fabloo cuz claim) and there's like a 95% chance I would lose the game.

in addition to that, not every mod does this (although I definitely do) but many mods are less likely to make new players scum because it's hard to be scum without having been town a couple times. in a game like this where half hte playerlist is new it's almost impossible for there to not be at least one newbscum, but it's generally a fair assumption that the scum will be (maybe only slightly) disproportionately distributed towards the more experienced players.

i kinda don't want to just talk about theory anymore but I suppose I can at least understand your mindset more on this.

I'm going to respond to Raikaria's vote on me but I've been reading/posting for like 3 hours now and need to take a bit of a break. i'll be back later in the day (though I imagine Raikaria will be asleep prolly rip)

for the record, for the smartbomb vote i was thinking like, "ok everyone seems to be weirdly down for a smartbomb wagon but it's getting no action, who's the scum bussing smartbomb" but i realized that for scum to bus smartbomb, smartbomb has to be scum :V would probably vote again but that would take it to like l-2 and it just doesn't seem like a good use of my vote atm

was your townclear on daiya about the flip onto meow in eod1? i said it looked relatively good (compared to serela) in an earlier post but i don't think it's enough to be 100%. i'm posting this on the fly but i'll actually go back and reread what you wrote about it and see if i agree

i think i'm more annoyed that people are ignoring daiya. i thought there was enough interest in a daiya lynch to set up a wagon and hopefully force people to take a stance on him (like i tried with myself d1) but i think it's less that people don't care about daiya but that people are just being incredibly passive overall.

##Unvote
##Vote: Serela


smartbomb is a wagon now so people better have loads to say about him

NNR would you lynch BBM with raikaria? i remember you not liking him before but give us an update
I would have to reread them in depth and I'm at work. However skimming my gut is slightly improved on Raikaria FWIW

Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Two)
Post by: BigBangMeteor on April 18, 2020, 09:23:49 PM
hahaha jk no mafia break for me

a general theme of Raikaria's vote against me is a lot of buddying between me and smartbomb. I think there probably has been some of that because for a good portion of d1 smartbomb was one of my stronger townreads on a play basis because he had a general demeanor I empathized with, such as a general malaise with the traditional stages in a mafia game that you get after playing A Lot of Mafia. He also made several points that I thought were really good and unique and I think because I've been having some trouble with scumreads this game I probably took some cues from smartbomb's posts as to where to focus my attention next, if not always my vote. i'm pretty sure that by the end of d1 I put smartbomb back into my PoE pool though I wasn't really scumreading him until today.

however, two things about this.

1) there's very little actual analysis of mine and smartbomb's votes/posts, just when they happened in relation to each other. this is pretty circumstantial and more related to the fact that we seem to be in similar timezones. eg raikaria could be my buddy but we would never post at the same time since we're like 6 hours apart other than weekends.

2) it's not actually scummy unless smartbomb and I are buddies. now, raikaria does think we're both scum. but although he has some separate reasons for finding me scummy he doesn't really have many reasons for finding smartbomb scummy other than his buddying with me. pretty much the only one is that smartbomb voted meow without much reasoning. i will have to go back and look at that but smartbomb had posted reasoning against meow before i believe.

3) i don't like this interaction with smartbomb because it's a way of indicating suspicion towards smartbomb without actually contributing to smartbomb's lynch, which is a common way for scum to distance themselves from their buddies.

Another reason is inconsistency between how I treated meow and yaersulf's vanilla claims. this is actually a fair point because reading back I don't think I was super clear. couple reasons:

1) I thought meow was more experienced than yaersulf based on the fact that his posts were more competent. I think I was mistaken here. plus meow did it after i had already outed this logic after yaersulf did it. Essentially I thought meow would be more likely to wifom* than yaersulf.

2) I did actually waffle a bit on meow once he made that claim, but meow didn't claim until the wagons were already super consolidated. I believe daiya was at 0 votes at that point so we would have had to scrounge up like 8 votes in an hour with like only half the players present.

3) given I just found meow scummier than yaersulf and he was my main push on d1 when push came to shove I preferred it to yaersulf

We're not turboing smartbomb

I could go for daiya but ugh do we even have enough ppl/time

Meow's defeatist attitude is kinda weird so I'm waffling a bit but I would still rather do it than yaersulf

Either BBM's reads are wrong, everyone on the Townie wagon was wrong, or BBM is scum.

Also; I don't particularly recall BBM previously expressing a bad read on me, but maybe I'll come across it.

I believe I was nullish leaning scum for PoE reasons on you at the time. i hadn't really reread your posts since halfway through the day I think.

Also, yes, those are literally all the possible options given that meow flipped town.

Quote
I don't like posts like this.

lol I was making a joke

Quote
Also this post looks like a uge slip.

If meow is more suspicious than Serela... then you should be voting meow? Also why is this even a problem to BBM when BBM is voting Meow himself? Why would he be against this?
I really don't understand your point here. at the time I was really frustrated because I found meow scummy and a lot of people were like "yeah he could be scum" but nobody was voting him with me other than smartbomb (like you point out literally right after). i was trying to get meow lynched over other options I didn't agree with such as a literal mason claim, so I was annoyed that despite yaersulf finding meow scummier than serela, he voted serela (someone I was gut townreading).

Quote
Also on my earlier point of hsi bad read on me:

'Raikaria is refusing to give out newbie passes and is pushing for people he states he thinks are making scummy play. This is bad'. - That's what I read here.

Aka: Raikaria is scumhunting newbies so he is scummy and the worst-looking player imo right now.

How does this logic work?

I'm going to back off on this point because clearly we have different opinions here regardless of your alignment. but I don't think most of the things you were actually pushing were scummy play. you were just pushing bad play. is it really that scummy for a new player to be waffling and unsure of whether it's worth lynching someone? (your reason for voting yaersulf). a large part of your tom vote is him OMGUSing bard and like, the negative gut reaction to someone voting you is something everyone has and new players aren't always able to suppress.

Quote
Also I'm under the impression that Roles are rolled for? The scumteam isn't curated by the GM as far as I'm aware. Dormio and other GM's don't manically laugh as they try and create the most hilarious scumteam.

All the newbies could be scum. Or none of them.

Personally, I don't handpick anyone (maybe if someone specifically requests to be scum, but that's very rare) but if I roll alignments and there's a scumteam that I know is going to be bad because it's comprised of all new/poor players, or if a new player rolls SK, I re-roll until there's a balance in player experience that I'm relatively sure is fair. Creating a setup requires a lot of time, thought, and effort, and hosts are very invested in the game being fun and going well. Imagine putting tens of hours into making and balancing a setup that you're really excited about and waiting weeks/months for your turn in the queue to come up, and to get enough signups to even run the game, and then the entire scumteam is new players and they get waxed and the game is over D3 (I saw that happen once).

my understanding is that smartbomb voted nucleus because he thought nucleus should have some sort of info for the town given that he semi-claimed. nucleus just responded that no he has no info and actually his role isnt that good (ps never say this unless your role is great)

And now this has been cleared up and there's been some more posts and development and such, I feel content to

##Unvote

While I absolutely do not agree with BBM's opinions on some topics; disagreeing with opinions and stances does not inherently make scum. Having a differing opinion and playstyle is not inherently scummy.

yeah I'll try to cut down on the walls, my bad. i don't really like doing it too much but it's hard to response in-depth to a wall without making your own wall. looking back at my wall it's not very focused but essentially tl dr:

a) i think his reasoning about my end of day actions are fair b) his focus on buddying between me/smartbomb is kind of lame and a suspicious reason for a vote, c) him/smartbomb make sense as buddies to me

my main worry about smartbomb is that i don't know if smartbomb's apathy is because he's scum or just his personality and general playstyle given i haven't played with him before. but i think i'm feeling good about it. his nucleus push felt like he was purposely being kind of hipster rather than pushing stuff from before or engaging with others?

wow, don't tell me, is it burakku-kun

I don't agree. I think he adapted to the situation. It's nothing I townread because of this however. Right now I'm sitting between voting off Serela/Disquieted if I'm being honest. It seems nobody cares about Year does so I won't care either. That isn't spiteful I promise.

Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Two)
Post by: Fabloo on April 18, 2020, 10:26:09 PM
but bad play is not inherently scummy play. it's extremely extremely wrong (imo) to keep saying "bad and scummy play" when the correlation between "bad play" and "scummy play" is not anywhere near as strong as you're making it out to be. and newbs are much more likely to play badly than experienced players (a hopefully non-controversial statement) regardless of their alignment. if you don't make that distinction, you're just going to be wrong.

the truth is, all of fabloo/daiya/tom/nucleus/yaersulf are not playing well, and are playing worse than you and smartbomb. i could lynch every single one of them (except fabloo cuz claim) and there's like a 95% chance I would lose the game.

in addition to that, not every mod does this (although I definitely do) but many mods are less likely to make new players scum because it's hard to be scum without having been town a couple times. in a game like this where half hte playerlist is new it's almost impossible for there to not be at least one newbscum, but it's generally a fair assumption that the scum will be (maybe only slightly) disproportionately distributed towards the more experienced players.

i kinda don't want to just talk about theory anymore but I suppose I can at least understand your mindset more on this.

I truly don't understand how smartbomb is playing well. His Polaris suspicion was all hot air and now it hasn't even carried over to the next day. I combed over this idea of who's playing well and who isn't but I don't know why it continues to plague this game. It doesn't matter honestly. Playing well is subjective. Anyone who has scumread me when I'm town isn't playing well. Anyone who has townread me when I'm scum to the same effect.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Two)
Post by: Fabloo on April 18, 2020, 10:35:49 PM
So I'm gonna drop the hugest truth bomb.

A lot of you are good players. I have seen bad games and seen bad play. Not once did I think I was surrounded by idiots who didn't know how to play Mafia. Rather what I see is people being so critical about themselves to a point that it feels like many of you are defeating yourself. And in turn defeating others. Bardiche already left this game and I didn't think he was playing bad either.

Truly. Absolutely bad play comes from an unwillingness. I don't see that here. Everyone is trying very hard. It's almost tense and I think it's fire trucking up my reads.

Post by: Fabloo on April 18, 2020, 10:37:55 PM
Sorry. I think Smartbomb is being scummy. Not bad. Scummy. It's scummy for him to create long stories about people with a ton of symbolism only for his preaching to mean nothing. Townies have conviction. Some sort of purpose. Even if I absolutely disagree with it. I see none of that with Smartbomb Disquieted Disbomb tired of double naming.

##Vote NucleusWaffle

This is where I want to put my vote on for today.

However, if its true that by D2 our tracker is gone and mason lovers are outed now (if true), other town power roles really need to step up their game now and vanilla towns should draw the nightkill attention as much as they can because power-wise we are urgently at a big disadvantage.
This I feel definitely doesn't sound like it comes from a town mindset. All town should have the same focus: Find scum and get them dead. This is saying to do otherwise, and suggesting a way to line up targets for the scum.

Third parties are jesters of mafia, according to mafiascum.

Lovers with nighttalk and such control over information (greatest asset in mafia, every vote is lethal) is not town-sided at all.

Town functions best as a communist faction, scum functions best as a capitalist faction. To end this interrogation, I surmise power roles are an evil impurity and we should seek to reject it as pure Lunarians.

I identify as a fairy though
This immediately speaks of the opposite of what he just said. Or it's all just pure fluff to look like he's saying something. Either way, does not sound right.

As for the rest of his posts for the day, it's all been pure set up speculation and not much looking for scum, to the point where he doesn't even have a vote down for anyone.

Nucleus the way I see it is:

1)You have a special town role, the scum already basically know this at this point. Therefore you may as well reveal what it actually does because that's not going to make you any more of a target. (Certainly not more of a target than Fabloo/PX)

2)The reason you want to know people's gender is for some scummy purpose, which you would still have a reason to obfuscate. Therefore, hiding your role makes you seem more scummy.

So come clean already.
This post rings out, since after trying to get information by claiming a role, he immediately backs away from it when questioned and discourages it. I see no real purpose to hide his information as town, so I think he's scum.

Disquieted as others have said also looks sus right now, but I feel like he has a connection to Nucleus and a flip from either will help determine the other, and Nucleus I feel is more likely for now.

Post by: Polaris on April 19, 2020, 12:16:51 AM
well nothing happened worth reacting to so i guess i'll just make a reads post

serela (the person i'm voting) - his vote on smartbomb, in a vacuum, would be okay IF NOT FOR the fact that it fell exactly into the pattern of awkwardly being the second person to vote someone to the point that it almost doesn't look like his own independent read, which would imo still could go either way (maybe he could be just unlucky town) IF NOT FOR the fact that near the end of day 1 he asked me to vote daiya first before him because for some reason he couldn't just do it on his own, which really puts everything into context. also, he keeps refusing to commit to a stance on me but is otherwise treating me as if i'm town, which reads to me as if he's just scum who already knows i'm town and dancing around me on the off chance that people suddenly want to lynch me, at which point he'd probably go "ok i finally got around to reading polly and my conclusion is that he's totally scum!" would still lynch

daiya - might back off on him for now. it's entirely possible that he is just bad at posting (which he has claimed to be) so i might just have to drop my standards and put him on the same level as, like, nnr and raikaria. i still think his case on me is more of a weak push, and he still needs to update with a read on smartbomb (it's actually really unfortunate that he didn't get that in before the wagon on smartbomb actually spiked up, that would have been super useful). i'm mostly going along with the idea that bbm is right that daiya's flip from yaersulf to meow in eod1 does seem like something scum wouldn't have done in the moment (assuming town/town wagons), so i guess it's ultimately a "we'll see from here"

smartbomb - what has smartbomb actually done? all i remember is his push on me d1 which went nowhere and his push on daiya d2 which wasn't even accompanied by a vote (at least part of my daiya vote was to see if smartbomb would show up and fix it, but like i said, he's a cryptid) so if anything i feel like i should be the one to accuse him of being "perfunctory". this is a decent lynch and one i would definitely go for if not for serela who i think is a great lynch. i actually thought the smartbomb wagon wouldn't be popular but it ended up being so, which is why i think scum could just be bussing (esp. if they also thought that the smartbomb wagon wouldn't be popular)

zeenana - has still done nothing except vote me (i can't even tell if he voted me after reading the thread or if he just voted me because i just happened to be there at the time) and then vote smartbomb, which is arguably not a tell for anything but i can't help but project myself onto it because we happened to perform the same action at the same time :v i'm weirdly ok with not lynching him though.

i have no idea how you're portraying me as somehow scummily attempting to cheerlead a daiya wagon without being on it myself

no comment on how you feel about my smartbomb vote because if it's so scummy to not be the first person who finds smartbomb scummy idk what to say to you i guess almost the entire game is scummy then????

Post by: Serela on April 19, 2020, 12:36:34 AM
and polly

in case you forgot

smartbomb was my second lynch priority d1 after daiya???

I didn't try to push it at the end of the day because people were talking about lynching daiya (Even though the wagon strangely never materialized for real) but like, it's not as though I came into d2 with a new opinion on him, i was interested in lnyching smartbomb halfway into d1

I feel like disquieted is barking up a very strange tree here with his Polly questioning, and I mean that in the kind of "i don't see why town would find this a valid point worth pursuing". However he hasn't voted polly or posted in awhile after this so I'll have to see what occurs later
[snip]
OH HEY disquieted is returning to the Polly thing! and... wait... he types a huge thing and I'd probably be voting him (well, no, I like my fabloo vote, but I'd be interested in voting him too at least) if he voted Polly at the end but instead he just... deflates and says 'eh this isn't that big but I guess I should say it, not really a case, don't really want to lynch polly', and while on one hand I guess that's arguably better than voting Polly because I actually agree with his end conclusion like this more than if he did say it was pretty scummy, he also uh

spent all of his game effort up to now to say that, he still has no opinion about anything...??? ...this is basically scummy active lurking at this point??

ok disquieted posts again immediately after this with a lot more opinions on stuff so this ISN'T scummy active lurking, I still don't like that he seems to have literally no actual vote preferences though which isn't good, and then... oh now he's depressed and leaving aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa why is the game already falling apart normally it takes a few more days for everyone to get upset at everyone else
[snip]
OK! I've made it to the end of the thread. The people I have lynch interest in after this:Fabloo, Disquieted. Definitely moreso Fabloo tho'. Yes there's other stuff going on that might be worth mentioning but 5 pages of mafia at once has successfully tired out my brain and I don't have any terribly interesting opinions right now about the other bits anyway, if you have a question about anything in particular you can ask and then I can make a focused response about one individual thing, much easier zzzzzzzzzzzz

it's just frustrating when your points are like

*serela asked me to vote daiya with him! the person he's been talking about being scummy and has been voting for awhile! and who I've been voting recently!
*serela didn't vote smartbomb first so his opinion looks fake! (even though this was the same opinion he had day one)
*serela doesn't have a rock solid read on every single living player, only five sixths of them! [and the people missing solid opinions are... not really persons of interest right now anyway?]

my read on you is the same one I had earlier

i think you have the worst case in the world which makes me want to think you might be scum
but you're also consistently the most active player here and putting in a lot of effort and that suggests you're just town with misguided ideas

these are two conflicting feelings so SORRY POLLY THAT'S JUST HOW IT IS

something about Polaris's tone leaves me unconvinced he's town tbh (might just be TT, which I usually end up being wrong)

celery is just fine atm. idk why people were pointing him out before probably because I've only read like the last 5 pages (I should probably read more). Also are people just ignoring the mason claims rn? I think I saw something about that while skimming.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Two)
Post by: Serela on April 19, 2020, 01:02:19 AM
we talked about the mason claims day one, and now we're done talking about them pretty much

which is both disappointing and a relief because i'd run px off a cliff for lurking, it's not the prods so much as when he does post he makes like, one point, drops a vote, and leaves again, but since PX's meta is lurking as either alignment if I remember right, i guess in the end it's just for the best he's a mason instead of a mislynch

w/e neither of us really matter in this anyway, mafia is a team game anyway so it's up to them to decide (which was my initial point saying that i was talking to everyone else, there's really no point to arguing my case with the person i'm voting)

Post by: Disquieted on April 19, 2020, 01:35:15 AM
Oh right, BBM. Here’s the deal;

- There is nothing in the scumbook that says they can’t give townreads or townshields. Even if NucleusWaffle is town - which I’m kind of squinting at given the conversation we had last night - Daiya has given one strong townread in the entire game. From a scum!Daiya perspective, he has approximately 10 or so Town people to try and lynch, maybe he just doesn’t want to lynch the claimed PR.

- Take it from any sort of perspective. You’re at the end of the day and you have town town wagons. You know this cause you’re mafia. What’s the correct play to do here?

Trick question. There isn’t one. You can do whatever you want. Nobody cares. In fact the correct play from all alignments is to consolidate on meow, cause why wouldn’t you? Like walk through what Daiya gains from staying on Yaersulf.

To be clear, none of this means he’s scum cause of it. But you asked me to respond to the reasons you townread him.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Two)
Post by: BigBangMeteor on April 19, 2020, 01:41:17 AM
what daiya gains from staying on yaersulf is that he doesn't end up on a wagon that's a mislynch and doesnt draw attention to himself for no reason. if the wagons are town/town, scum!daiya a) probably picks meow given earlier comments about yaersulf and b) if he does pick yaersulf he just stays on yaersulf unless people are really yelling at him to switch to consolidate. it's much more likely that town!daiya waffled cuz he was unsure than that scum!daiya waffled for no reason.

but isn't part of your case that the voteswitch felt forced and not genuine? why would scum!daiya force himself to switch votes from one town to another?

A bit. I kind of run on process of elimination, so Daiya is already in a tough spot in that whatever hole I’ve made for him in my mind is always relative to everyone else. Short of playing like Yaersulf today it’s gonna be tough, which is how it is.

I’ve been more paying attention to his response to me of course. I think I briefly looked over his other responses and not really feeling it, but, whatever. Still trying to think about his response to me though.

Bit of a word salad.

@BBM, are you aware that lynches don’t happen unless there’s a majority? From all perspectives, is a no lynch good?
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Two)
Post by: BigBangMeteor on April 19, 2020, 01:48:12 AM

also i think serela's recent interaction here where he pretty much defends against himself with no update on the scumhunting front is at least "bad", and i would even say scummy

You think it's that easy? To start off with, he did say that and then added a bit on.

Theoretical question. Daiya hasn't played here, so he doesn't know the """""meta"""". Is it normal for people to get called out for flipping their votes? How is Daiya supposed to explain that he voted someone he liked over someone that he currently has his vote on?

These are all standard questions and what you said... you're saying that just cause he didn't say that exact phrasing, with that exact structure, means he's more townie for it. Which is ridiculous, no?

Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Two)
Post by: BigBangMeteor on April 19, 2020, 01:55:15 AM
it's possible that i'm assuming too much that daiya is playing optimally given he's new. but given that any given person is more likely to be town than scum anyways I'm more willing to err on this side. i think most new players commit errors of inaction rather than errors of action anyways

sigh. i will read daiya / the daiya cases again.

fair point on serela's recent posts.

scum!serela meta which i personally have identified as lurking, trying to look like he's keeping up with the thread by commenting on a lot of things but it's mostly just fluff, seemingly not having any original opinion of his own (but apparently it's not actually happening in this game so w/e), and i guess his general tone, which probably worthless to anyone but me

Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Two)
Post by: Polaris on April 19, 2020, 02:01:37 AM
this is an observation i'm just making now but i feel like town serela posts usually have him feel more "present" in the game, whereas serela's activity in this game feels like a lot of downtime, and then massive wallposts where he tries to "catch up" with everything and a lot of his posts feel really isolated as a result (which i suppose could be a side effect of lurking)

i guess fabloo already mentioned how a lot of posts seem "isolated" so it might not even just be serela, ugggh what is going on with this game
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Two)
Post by: NucleusWaffles on April 19, 2020, 02:04:26 AM
I can't read the content now so I will just summarise what I managed to skim since I last argued with Yaersulf.

Serela is the prime wagon now for not being same as past games.

Fabloo/PX whom I was concerned with are still not here.

Some arguments between Disquieted and BBM

Very long walls, again, I need some time to read, but my prime suggestion for everyone involved is please chill, remember the length of your arguments are only as good as the number of people in it, or something.

This argument right now seems so excessively long with so few number of participants, its going to be tedious for everyone to go back and check every point being made.

Post by: BigBangMeteor on April 19, 2020, 02:10:57 AM
ok it turns out daiya actually has played multiple games on SF. somehow i have not played a game with him, although it's also possible i just forgot.

now that I think about it I actually have no idea why I thought daiya was a new player. that means i definitely need to reread daiya's posts but i don't think it actually changes my reason for thinking he's town. it does make me think less favourably of the rest of his posts though

Daiya's post by now just seems like an island. I think for me personally that the biggest problem right now is if there is a lot of subtle undermining being done. I don't know if this is because others want their opinions to seem greater or if scum is in a position where the townies are not really putting in the legwork but they still feel compelled to post anyways.

I've had this feeling this whole phase.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Two)

In this regard as well.

I'm with you. I would like definitive stances instead of walking people through an opinion of someone as if everyone lacks observational skills. Perhaps this is where the idea of bad play is happening. And others feel compelled to make it clear that they aren't the ones that are.

So far this continues to repeat. I don't think it's helpful anymore.

ok I'm fairly sure what happened was when I was making my tier list earlier today I grouped daiya in a similar tier as a bunch of actual new players and then started just thinking he was also a new player with barely any posts for some reason. it's abundantly clear that uh daiya is not new and also that i have terrible memory because I read all his posts like last night and definitely did not think he was new then.

i suppose it's true that daiya could have just switched his vote for consolidation purposes (though it's an awkward way of going about it) so I'll grant the point that there's a world where scum daiya switches his vote from town to town players. unfortunately i have to go and dont have time to re-assess everything rn

Fabloo, you know how to answer this question with the correct amount of disquiet. NucleusWaffles has a role that targets players of a particular gender. It's, according to Nucleus, weak, but it's pretty clear Nucleus may not be the best judge of character on mafia mechanics.

Please take note of my first sentence and perhaps consider this a rhetorical question. What could this role possibly be?

I've already alluded to my opinion further on this. Yes I am just dropping the role it correlates to. I don't do role spec often but it's clear to me that there is an important male character likely in this game. He has red hair.

Post by: Disquieted on April 19, 2020, 03:34:02 AM
I don't know what to think about him, to be honest. Take the claim out of the way and you have a player like Serela or raikaria, which isn't damning at all, it's just a statement of playstyle. Every single word I'm reading from him isn't very alignment indicative, and he's dodging questions about his role cause he can and nobody's going to raise an eyebrow.

The game seems to be full of traditionalists that like finding what is traditionally scummy. It's Day 2 and his only interesting read is that he's scumreading two masons and his conversation with Yaersulf is pretty intractable. He's posting nothing that contributes to the thread or really tries to.

Obviously this sounds like a scumread, doesn't it.

I assume you're here for conversation.

I am actually here for a conservation, I read up a bit and may have missed a few details, but I am sure we can work it out.

I don't like Fabloo and your masons claim, your D1 defense was that you are an omnipotent god in terms of town power level, which is definitely to be respected.
However, I dislike how you also constantly try to delve into role shenanigans along with Disquieted, especially when  town investigation roles need time to accumulate evidence and present reads in a way that can convince the majority.

You don't sound like someone who's got dirt on another person but is equally unsure if that dirt is just imagination, which is where I am coming from.

Frankly, I cant seem to empathise with you being in a position of power too myself. I would think, "If I were this role with access to this plus that restriction plus that flavour which I can use, I definitely would not draw attention to these very useful last resort tools at the start of the game"

Therefore, I agree with Disquieted to an extent I have a traditionalist mindset, but that's about all.

I'm here. What do you think of my previous musings? The ones on this page? Something's wrong if You/Serela/Daiya are all scum.

I mean. You seem to be asking the wrong person by definition. But I'll try.

This game is hard. Write down the fact that people can't string together coherent teams and are just opting for their top scumread and not thinking about reevaluation and that's the harsh truth people are avoiding. Game's hard.

The game is significantly harder because... I don't know if this is the norm or not but you say Daiya's on an island? Everyone's on an island. I could go into how this is a problem but I don't really want to, I'm just going to state the problem and that it exists.

It just so happens that 

a) Serela is a traditional punching bag as far as I can tell regardless of his alignment
b) people just really don't like how I post and maybe NNR is helping out with that.

The top wagons are not cause you all agree we're scum, but you all think we exhibit the same scum characteristics. There's no conversation. The most amount of conversation people have had involve NucleusWaffles and Yaersulf which is... it's NucleusWaffles. And me and BBM, which is a conversation about a very inconsequential point, and I had to actually care for five whole minutes.

And that's how mafia works, I suppose.

Nine times out of ten this is what happens. Day 1, we lynch a lurker cause that's all anyone's going to agree on. Day 2, NNR is going to flip strawberriess and Serela goes under pressure cause it's Day 2 and he's posting like Serela.

My point is that regardless of the alignment of the people involved, this was always going to happen and trying to write this as "yes, scum are definitely are in these slots" is lazy. But I don't think anyone really cares or thinks about it. Out of everyone else, BBM is struggling and nobody else really cares.

I don't know where I'm going with this. Hm.

Do you understand the concept of information instead of analysis? Scum generally have problems forming reads, so they instead restate what happened in the thread and don't actually formulate read logic. They just state what happened. I don't actually know who you're talking about and if you're talking about me, that's funny I guess. but maybe consider that.

I'll figure out where I want to go with this. Cause right now I am very aware I don't have a real scumteam right now and I'm thinking about it. Just some thoughts, since you wanted thoughts.

Like, who do people want to push?

Yaersulf and Tom's newbies. You don't push newbies, the first lynch was a newbie.

The claimed PR, NucleusWaffles?

The guy who just got replaced in, Banana Spritzee?

NNR? The last person who did that is getting strawberries on.

Polaris? BBM? They post fifty words a post and are clearly invested in the game regardless of their alignment, so they're clearly town, right?

Or do you push the person who refuses to play in status quo, and Serela, for being Serela?

I dunno. It's not a matter of whether we're scum or not, but instead a matter of the easiest pushes. And this is why I don't push Polaris, because what's the point if I write 300 words and nobody follows me (a concept that I hate in the first place anyways)?

Conqueror, sb and zwerdjib weren't easy lynches, but they were the scumteam. And I didn't get purchase pushing on the first two despite me being many times more confident they were scum than anything else in this game, because they posted words. So tell me, why should I care about pushing my scumreads, if everyone is on an island?

You can go back to your wagons now. I added nothing to the conversation.

In terms of being an easy lynch, or IIOA? I have to review Daiya in a bit. Maybe the second might be a thing, I'd have to reread, but from my memory I don't remember it being a thing.

The first is obviously yes. Hah.

Post by: Fabloo on April 19, 2020, 04:47:27 AM
Actually that represents Raikara to a pretty big extent too.

When it comes to my problem with you it's unfinished honestly. Serela being the punching bag is a good observation. However from what I read a lot of people are hesitant about him.

This is my personal opinion about scum behavior also related to how I usually play. Scum usually don't scumread their partners unless they're making a move. Whether it be distancing or going for a bus. Nothing so far suggests to me bussing is happening. This is my 100% hubris looking at the game. Very often scum are perfectly fine with calling their mates townies and giving them false credibility so town look elsewhere.

What's happening right however is that everyone is accusing everyone. If I look at this thread right now it goes something like this.

Serela accuses You (Disquieted) who accuses Daiya a bit as well.
Daiya accuses Polaris. Says he wants to look in You/Serela.
Polaris accuses You and also accuses Daiya a bit as well. Also doesn't like banana I guess.
Raikara
You accuse..who again? Fill this in.
Raikara accuses BBM, Tom, Yearsulf and you a bit as well.

I just realized that everyone has dipped in their fingers in the Daiya suspicion while doing this. Something is off.

That's an accurate observation. I scumread Daiya.

Yes, it also represents raikaria. I believe the excuse for not voting raikaria is "I hope he doesn't die of coronavirus." If you're talking about how raikaria reads people, I'm pretty sure he's like this regardless of alignment.

Right now I think going in You/Serela/Daiya is the best option only because if we don't then this will probably continue. I don't think the team comprises of you 3 anymore. I think at best one of them is just making the best out of a somewhat bad situation. I just remember last game where Conqueror was able to sit on his reads for a very long time because we kept pushing circular logic. Then we finally got rid of problem players and scum revealed themselves as there was no longer anything to do.

I'm not gonna pretend the game isn't going kinda awkwardly, it totally is

We have several people who are nearly nonexistent (at least one is a mason, but still), and no one knows what to do relating to the new players I think, including the new players, adding several more ???? slots. This adds up into like... what, 7 slots in these areas?

When half of the game falls into these parameters, I think the cohesion of the game takes a big hit, but what can you do? :S

Since I know someone (POLLY) will probably ask how this factors into my smartbomb read, I think being frustrated with the gamestate is alignment neutral, especially considering it's with a huge wagon on himself.

Quote from: disquieted
This game is hard. Write down the fact that people can't string together coherent teams and are just opting for their top scumread and not thinking about reevaluation and that's the harsh truth people are avoiding. Game's hard.
Although, I will say, like... where you play mafia do people actually try to scumhunt with the entire scumteam in mind before any of them have actually flipped???? Because even when motk mafia was more generally cohesive, the general mindset is definitely to just go with top scumreads until you actually get far enough to be able to worry about entire scumteams. You might post a musing or two about a potential pairing as you argue one of them is scum, but it's really not important until someone's flipped red.

oh wow 5 more cuts
eh, scum bus too. Some people have meta for bussing more aggressively than others but I can't remember who, it's been like seven years. Affinity, but he's not playing right now :U Trying to pick out what is and isn't a bus is an art. Scum do totally like to give buddies town passes when they don't think their buddies will be lynched anytime soon tho. But when you think a buddy -is- liable to be lynched, delicious town cred!!

I mean, that's correct, yes. That's a unfortunate conclusion of this phase. The problem is that the only people who define a problem are the other people outside of what you've just said, and because people don't really care, the problem has really just been defined. It's a feedback loop.

Is Daiya a black sheep? Let me ask you a question. A few people wanted Daiya dead at the end of Day 1. Why is it that I'm the one at L-2 24 hours in the game, and Daiya has one vote, and as far as I can tell, not mentioned? Is it just cause BBM is townshielding him?

I could give you a biased answer based on what I think Daiya's alignment likely is, but you can fill in the gap yourself by just reading this sentence.

That's not what I meant. Team analysis sucks no matter what time of the game you're in.

You usually don't tunnel on a single person and evaluate your options. Except I don't know the readlist of anyone off the top of my head.

It's still there actually. I still think he's scum, I have serious concerns he's scum but I couldn't write it down why any more except in esoterics ("feelings") and it's really not necessary to do that in the possible outcome that he's just town and trying to play the game. You state concerns. You don't say you want to lynch someone, when you can compromise on a better lynch.

I could expend energy, probably about 3-4 hours as to why I still feel Polaris is scum, but I refuse to do that any more and as is it's not necessary to deal with in this stage of the game because like you say, lynching outside of Serela/Daiya/Disquieted is a silly proposal.

i hate this game almost everyone sounds town on tone to me but then I've literally only played with raikaria, serela, and NNR, and polly like once.

a lot of what smartbomb said in this last post is good and correct and posts like that were why I was inclined to think of him as town earlier but also nothing in it is alignment-dependent.

i hope newer players realize that we're very unlikely to have a strong investigative role left in the game. masons are themselves very strong (two town clears!) + tracker is pretty good as well. this is why you can't rely on power roles to solve the game for you.

i didn't think i would but i think i preferred tom yelling at everyone early day 1 rather than his play d2 where he just comes in and sheeps the biggest wagon. sigh.

BBM, you should look at what both me and Disquieted were saying. It's fine if you praise his conclusions but I just noticed that. Almost everyone has said something about Daiya or suspected him that is active. I would again pose the same question to you about whether he's just a black sheep. This is especially relevant given you townread him.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Two)
Post by: BigBangMeteor on April 19, 2020, 05:08:09 AM
after taking a look at daiya again I took him out of my townreads. i'm not really sure how to weigh different parts of his play together. i still feel that the voteswitch if not a town guarantee is the single most likely town indicator on any of the people i think are possible scum. but i think his general tone has probably been the least townie, to me.

i think i'm probably looking at daiya/smartbomb/raikaria/banana > serela/tom > nucleus right now.

i don't feel that daiya makes sense as a buddy with smartbomb or serela. daiya/raikaria is possible. smartbomb/raikaria is possible. tom is probably not buddies with raikaria. i think it's possible if he's scum his buddies have told him to vote them at this point so it's possible he's buddies with smartbomb or serela. banana is possible buddies with anyone cuz no posts lol; i dont take a vote on smartbomb with no words very seriously.

ftr i generally agree that team-level analysis isn't great. but i'm at the point where i have a bunch of ppl at roughly the same 30-40% likelihood to be scum and this helps me think things through a little more and edge one person over the other.

This is especially relevant given you townread him.

hmm. i generally don't agree with the "if everyone thinks they're scum then they probably arent cuz their buddies would be defending them" logic.

firstly, scum don't really want to defend their buddies that much. scum want to talk about their buddies as little as possible. but if their buddy becomes a big wagon and/or enough time passes that it just looks weird that they've never talked about that person, they want to have a non-committal read or a light scumread that they don't really push that much.

secondly, around d2-d3 is the optimal time for bussing. d1 is kinda too early because there are so many ppl necessary to lynch someone at that stage that it results in too many townreads from a successful lynch, so you have to like, bus really really hard so that you stand out among those townreads as a super townread. past d3 you've either already lost someone and so you don't want to bus too much more, or you haven't lost someone and you're probably just like one or two lynches away from winning the game so it's smarter to push really hard for those lynches rather than let the game drag out, particularly if strong town roles are still alive.

it was pretty uncharitable of me to say you were playing bad. sorry about that. but I think of playing "bad" or "well" more in terms of process than results. you've also played a lot better today and are engaging with people and asking questions and trying to read people a lot more than you did on d1 where you were kind of hostile and randomly refusing to vote and stuff.

BBM, if Daiya is being suspected by many people, why isn't he getting votes?

yeah it's making me think he's scum. but this was also partially why i doubled down on my meow read like 2/3rds of the way through day 1 because everyone other than NNR was like "yeah this person could be scum" but nobody wanted to vote him until there were a few hours left in the phase.

I honestly think Disquieted is going too fast because nervousness at L-2, so I understand him emotionally but I am physically incapable of keeping up because I am not interested in his lynch nor do I think he is logically flawed.

I don't have a scumteam, by extension, I think its too early to formulate scumteams because our premier D1 lynch (Bardiche) made a confusion replace out with a non-lurker. So despite the additional mod-confirmed information (loss of tracker and outing of masons, bad news), in terms of buddying analysis we are essentially back at D1 square one from scratch.

And this perspective is making me horribly apathetic, or at least apathetic enough I trust myself in taking matters into my own hands. I think we should, however, for clarity's sake lynch banana spritzee.


I disagree with Tom not being helpful with graphs, the graphs are very helpful, and this is honestly a mess of words I regret digging myself into, but I am doing so anyway because we don't seem to be being very rational by lynching Disquieted, one of the more rational and town-lean players, based on scum team speculations.

maybe. i like to have that concept in my head though because it helps me try to discern actual scum intent.

i guess i'm at a point where i'm inclined to vote daiya? but I feel like i've been thinking about the game so much today that I'm just looping through every possibility at hyper-speed and I probably need to sleep on it before going from hard defending daiya to voting him in the span of a few hours lol. i'm pretty unsure this game if nobody has realized so i think i'm letting myself be influenced by other ppl too much.

I scumread Yaesulf, because he seems to be coasting.

I don't like using my vote so liberally because I know specifically a player (Tom) is good at tallying votes and onlines and logins.

In the meta of this game, and the meta is defined by its players, I need to break out of the exact mould if I am to remain useful and alive.

If I have to vote someone, I want to vote Yaesulf, because he seems quite active start D2, then is coasting now that theres a big fight for survival over Disquieted, Fabloo, BBM.

Also, in defense of Serela, Serela seems serene and a genuinely nice person despite being screamed at by everyone for being useless. Why must you all bully him so?

I want to lynch banana spritzee, because him flipping provides vital information over whether a) Bard is scum, jetpacked to protect his slot and game from a D1 lynch b) banana spirtzee is town, coasting is entirely due to incompetence c) banana spirtzee is town pr, which is coasting deliberately and we need him to win us the game where tracker was gunned D1 and masons (if true, self-claimed)

In fact banana spritzee dying would simplify so many threads of possibilities I just need him dead to actually make use of D1 interactions, at least from my perspective. However, having him dead is the worst thing if he is in fact what we need to win this power game which we are on a disadvantage of, so I would rather talk about lynching him and develop new points and hopefully the game state changes enough so we can do so without lynching him

However talking about things waste time energy and other players' attention and ultimately we need votes to do anything so I am being careful with my words but Disquited you are on L-2 and I do emphathise with your pressure so I hope this will be the first and last time I need to spill my guts okay press send

Also, I am bringing my loudspeaker to everyone present, 36 pages to play at D2 is unreasonably long.

Especially when the converstion is carried by 1/3 of the playerlist. Like, involve everyone else, unless developing a sense of exclusion is what you are trying to do.

Namedrop, namedrop, namedrop, please. And not just the same few people, make it broad and about everyone. And hopefully also with data and statistics to back it up.

Tom, as a fan of statistics, can you give us some juicy numbers on the times when each person is mentioning another person? Like the Facebook tagging algorithm/ Twitter mentions analysis.

My hot take? I don't know if it's worth much but I'll give it a shot.

If we're talking about you wanting to lynch me, I'm not going to bother defending myself. At this point I've basically accepted that I'm eventually going to get myself mislynched so I'm just trying to get information out of people before then.

If we're talking about Banana Spritzee then I'm actually fine with lynching him, I agree that Bard was very suspicious. What I'm not sure I agree on is how much information we'd get out of that? Probably not as much as if we lynched my top (and maybe only) scumread, you, NucleusWaffles.

Also you seem to be in the same post praising for Tom for his graphing and statistics, while also at the same time saying you'd rather not vote because it'll be tracked by those same statistics?

Polaris I know you've given up on logic but, what made you pick Daiya over Disquieted, Serela, or NucleusWaffles? What caused you to change your mind on him, because I remember you saying you were going to ease up on him?
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Two)
Post by: Disquieted on April 19, 2020, 11:40:13 AM
So let's talk about a few pieces of confidence that I have so we can get things in perspective.

NNR is town. I'm going to ignore everything he's doing and focusing on the fact that he really thinks I'm pushing him because of his character. It means he cares about his character in a towny manner, and I don't want to spend more than the necessary time on this.

Raikaria is probably town for a similar virtue that he doesn't actually know how alignments are going to be set in this game. Honestly, I don't know either, and maybe the good guys are town or whatever. Who knows. But Rai doesn't really know. So let's stop here before going into the mess that is people's posts and reads.

Then we have people who have posted stuff. I'm still getting townvibes off BBM right now, how he's talking sounds like he's being genuine and he is struggling and if I'm being snowed, that's on me. I'll sort this out later.

Then we have Tom. Now I can plot what he's doing but he's really taken a very lazy seat in this game and I can plot it out from a town perspective but it is significantly worse than yesterday, he's posted graphs and naked voted people and that's it. This may be because he got basically made fun of on Day 1 as town, instead of being mafia and phoning it in. He needs to improve.

There's also this post:
Alright, so I've figured out the best way to survive day one is to just lurk since without data everything is meaningless.  Everyone who's said a lot of things has gotten votes and those who've said the least have not.  I should have figured this out sooner and shut up but I wanted to be active considering this is my first game.

Which is, uh incredibly problematic. How this is problematic is best left up as an exercise to the reader.

We have Banana Spritzee who I don't really trust with his entrance, not going to lie. Bardiche was very very town, but Banana Spritzee is playing the AWOL card and not caring what's going on and I refuse to let that sort of behaviour fly, especially since that's also what he does as scum. It's nonsense. He's also got some weird balance of knowing what's going on but trying to pretend he doesn't care? It's hard to describe, call tomorrow.

Neither player has lost enough towncred to be a consideration for me right now. I will lynch Banana Spritzee cause if he doesn't play games I can be more than irritable regardless of how I feel about Bardiche. But let's move on, this is me complaining, either they do something or they won't and I'll complain regardless.

Yaersulf is someone I'm surprised isn't getting more attention right now and it's really adding to this strange state that Fabloo is talking about. Like, I'm not against it, cause Yaersulf's reaction to Fabloo's secret stuff is very townie and makes sense cause you don't get upset at a supposed cop claiming you yourself are guilty unless you're town, right? That's how that ended up. But that's just been accepted as kosher. And I guess I'll just use this as a thought about how scum don't really feel like taking initiative this game. It's a very out there read that involves a lot of the circumstances in this game but yeah. I don't think a mislynch is being pushed by scum, they're just letting town push other town and not even trying to open up other options. Whether that's sheeping other cases or just not having the thread presence, who knows. Maybe that might be a good observation for other people.

I don't feel like Serela is scum, but I can't exactly say Serela is town. If Polaris is assessing Serela's scum meta properly, well... meh. This is kind of a locked door for me and I really don't know how to judge him, and quite honestly I'm running out of scumreads, so he'll reside here until I think more about either Banana Spritzee or Tom.

We have Polaris, who I will leave in this category because this is the Polaris category. That is all.

And so that leaves a few people left. I feel like properly examining Daiya makes sense once everyone's given more than lipservice to him, so that'll wait. I have further comments on him that I need to nail down looking at him again though.

And I still don't know what to make of NucleusWaffles. It's not the "man this guy is weird" category. It's something else. When someone doesn't consider himself a town PR (assumedly cause he says he's weak, but how does he even have a judge of that? This is his first game!), when someone doesn't die on N1 - like say the mafia is dodging a doc. Zwerdjib's a pretty natural doc dodge for a multitude of reasons, but why wouldn't you hit the weakest town PR? If zwerdjib wasn't the tracker the night would've been questionable.

Every post he makes is word salad yes, but if you actually try and read his posts... nothing of consequence is really said. I don't need a summary of the game, I need thoughts on the game. Maybe that's just his thing. I have doubts.

This isn't even getting into the role part of him. That's something I don't want to push too much on my own for obvious reasons. But I have problems with that as well. If he's a flavourcop, why doesn't he just say what his results are? That's only one of the many questions that I'd like to ask but won't.

That's an accurate observation. I scumread Daiya.

Yes, it also represents raikaria. I believe the excuse for not voting raikaria is "I hope he doesn't die of coronavirus." If you're talking about how raikaria reads people, I'm pretty sure he's like this regardless of alignment.

I'm back. Reading stuff.

Just gonna say there really isn't much 'Raikaria scum meta' because I roll scum super infrequently. This dosen't rule me out as scum.

However I'd like to think my prattleing and atempts at casemaking, as well as my arguments and viewpoints on why newbie passes are imo bad, at least seem like they are coming from a town position.

Anyway I'll be around for most of the next uuuh... 7ish hours. Except for food. Which is soon. Probobly won't get much out before food because I need to read and I need to think.

Also; I saw before I went to work; I know Polaris; you don't like empty unvotes. I don't like them either. But it was that or I go back to a vote from D1 on Tom/Yasulf that hasn't really got anything new since D1 to add to it [at that time] and people are accuseing me of just parking on newbies because easy lynches and such as it is; so unvoting and just going back to a newbie lynch to sit on for like 16 hours isn't great either.

1. wagons baybee
2. preempting bbm's switch because unlike him, i don't care if my vote makes me look like a dumbass
3. i started day 2 with a scumread on daiya and it's bbm's fault i overthought it anyway
4. after careful consideration (of which i mean not thinking about mafia at all for a couple hours) the actual constituents of the smartbomb wagon is pretty poor
5. i just want to get this day over with T_T

clearly the sub-conclusion is that i need to get rid of bbm

Oh, we got like 1 day 8 hours left, so I actually have a day off where I can mafia.

That relives a lot of pressure.

I'm actually not on board with the Smartbomb wagon. It kinda feels like a Day 1 lynch at this point, Smartbomb seems to be one of the people trying to make discussion but everyone's turning on him. My improved read of BBM has also softened my opinion on Smartbomb based on their D1 interactions somewhat.

I'm also not particually fond of the Daiya wagon. Daiya hasn't been the most active player, but I've townread most of what they've said comparatively more than I've townread most other low-activity players. And this includes PX who is a claimed mason.

So I'm in this weird position where I think neither major wagon is any good.

Tom and Yaersulf continue to not really impress me, but Tom basically just showed up and voted Smartbomb and it seems like Yaersulf; while he looks wholly unimpressive to me, is at least making the barest amount of effort.

I think I'm going to do this for now, sort of following my process I laid out when talking to BBM. Most of the posts seem to happen while I'm sleeping anyway, and I can look at stuff tomorrow with a clear not-work addled head and maybe I'll see something there.

I think Tom is scummy due to low~no effort posts and not really doing anything that even looks like a pro-town effort.

I think Tom is a low-risk lynch for town because he's not really contributeing to town at all anyway.

It's a really; really baseline scum case. I know. But sometimes that's what you need, and my head really isn't in the state to think too much deeper than that and process 30+ pages of re-reading mafia right now.

##Vote: Tom

Also, in defense of Serela, Serela seems serene and a genuinely nice person despite being screamed at by everyone for being useless. Why must you all bully him so?

these are the posts I'm looking for (not actually). seriously speaking, most people are nice and we're mostly all friends here so whether someone is nice isn't a good way to read them.

statistics can be useful on a bigger game sample size (it's way too much effort to collect such statistics in a concrete numerical way but that's essentially what meta is). they're not really very useful inside of a single game because there's too many factors. if you want you can go through every player's posts individually and ctrl+f every other player and write down how many times they mention that player. what would that really tell you?

bard wouldn't have subbed out just because he was under some attention. bard is an experienced enough player that he wouldn't be put off by a few ED1 votes. i think he was legitimately just upset.

everything sucks. thinking of going back to raikaria but I don't sense other people are on board with that and don't feel confident enough in it to be able to convince other people anyways. want to see what raikaria posts today.

feels like a lot of the new players react in townish ways under pressure but are kind of coasting otherwise? nucleus i don't think is coasting exactly but takes a lot of words to say not a lot of stuff.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Two)
Post by: BigBangMeteor on April 19, 2020, 06:11:33 PM
ugh. i can't really develop a good reason to not lynch tom that isn't based off like ED1 stuff at this point. but it feels very much like a classic "consolidate on a newb" lynch because it's the lowest risk.

the risk is that we probably have two mislynches left and our main info roles are dead/depleted.

if there is something i want to commend raikaria for, it's that (despite having a low post frequency) he's at least been consistent on letting us know "here is approximately when i will be able to post again" and then actually delivering, as far as i can tell

The only reason I don't think we should lynch the newbies is beacuse if it's not a bingo then. We go back to zero. Kinda like how the meow56 lynch gave us essentially nothing. Players who are active or at least have represented themselves to some degree will be easier to read off their flips. It's possible that some newbies are lurkscum but I personally believe this will be made evident as time goes on.

Tom is kinda scummy yes. His D2 he essentially said he's gonna park and do nothing. Anti-town even. What if he's just that though? Anti-town that is. We've given scum another freebie. I don't believe the team is all in the background right now. They are definitely being talked about. Even talking.

May I ask where you are getting this from?

This is a 15p game. We're currently on 13.

Mislynch -> 11 -> 9. Assumeing no saves.

It could be a 3 scum game, we had 4 in 16p. So I guess it's not an unreasonable assumption, but it is also not a certainty.

But then there's the question of how you know all Town PR's are dead/depleted after only N1.

I think that's a very important point I should re-iterate.

I do not look at people based on their experience.

I do not think we should or should not lynch someone based on if they are or are not a newbie.

I think such arguments are pointless. Lynch who looks scummy. Experience is not a factor.

So what do you think happens if Tom isn't scum rai?
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Two)
Post by: BigBangMeteor on April 19, 2020, 08:02:59 PM
15p games are generally either 11/4 or 11/3/1. Given that we have no evidence to suggest a third party exists atm it's probably 11/4. So that means we're probably at 9/4 right now and 2 more mislynches brings us to 5/4. It's possible it's 12/3 but that seems a bit too town-sided.

i don't think all of town's PRs are dead but I think given masons + tracker I would be highly surprised if we have a cop. certainly nothing that we can rely on to tell us who's scum. i'm surprised this is a controversial take.

I don't feel like reiterating myself with Tom more. I don't like how Tom has played D2, evidenced by me steadily putting him higher and higher on my list of preferred lynches. But I don't feel strongly that his play is out of the boundaries of what a new player might do as town.

I also don't feel that anyone's play is strongly out of the boundaries of what they might do as town! But Tom is basically the path of least resistance. meh. the question is, is Tom actually the scummiest or the easiest person to lynch given that he's posting/trying the least (outside of banana)?
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Two)
Post by: raikaria on April 19, 2020, 08:14:09 PM
So what do you think happens if Tom isn't scum rai?

If Tom isn't scum it's not a major loss for Town.

It looks fairly bad for me of course, seeing as I'm one of the people most on the 'Tom should be lynched' wagon. I still need to re-read a fair bit to make up my mind but as I've said before; Yurself isn't exactly a shining beacon of towniness. Going with my current opinions; he's my 2nd priority. He does look slightly better Day 2, while I think Day2 Tom looks worse than Day1 Tom. Hence why my lynch priority has swapped.

I also want to specifically re-read Polaris' interaction and Serela's. But as I've said; I'm waiting for tomorrow for this.

When it comes to Daiya if we're wrong then there was a good amount of people who were wrong as well. There is something to track in terms of how people have read him too. It just makes the most sense to me. This is not lynching on the basis of a formulative what-if too. I generally just think Daiya sticks out the most to me and I think his behavior is scummy.

OK so like, I'm still working full time even though pandemic lockdown, but my job is basically 100% dead with almost nothing to do
so it's not much different from sitting at home all day, which I also do

so basically I'm drunk.

Let'S MAKE A PST BEFORE I GET DRUNKER

Smartbomb's posting has definitely -improved-. He provided a reads wall. This still doesn't make up for being underwhelming until looking like the de facto lynch of the day, but it's still better. I do want to lynch still, but I'm open to other options. Tom is... hmm. It's awkward. Tom's activity today is looking supremely scummy to be quite fair. He's... been obscenely lurky, and when he posts it's tiny votepark blips, or a vote chart with no actual conclusions drawn AKA scum can provide info with no analysis pretty easily. There's really no way to say this doesn't look very scummy. I'd be up for lynching this. It's unfortunate though because if it doesn't flip scum (and, being his first game, anything is possible) it doesn't help us a lot? But, Raikaria is still right, this is scummy and anti-town behavior and giving it a pass really isn't a helpful thing. The slot does need lynching and it's pretty liable to flip scum at this point

i thought they were improving comign into today when they started posting but it hasn't continued

this is also pretty lynchable

i'd probably rather do this than tom for likelihood of flipping scum compared to first-game-tom but they do both need to be lynche honestly

i still think not having a stance on me is a scumtell, it seems a lot more likely for scum (who knows i'm town) to go "oh no he's so hard to read" so that they can later justify trying to lynch me without having made any commitment before

Hate that this is actually a talking point, but yes I am "new" to mafia.  The few games I played a couple of years ago in which my most notable town contribution was herovigging scum N1 hardly counts as experience, but take from that what you will.

consider me new as well, /in
This is what I said. I said it for a reason. I in no way meant to imply that this was my first game. Regardless, I agree with Raikaria in that I'd rather not have the newbie card be a major factor in reads on me. Moving on.

Post by: NekoNekoRex on April 19, 2020, 10:55:27 PM

Do you understand the concept of information instead of analysis? Scum generally have problems forming reads, so they instead restate what happened in the thread and don't actually formulate read logic. They just state what happened. I don't actually know who you're talking about and if you're talking about me, that's funny I guess. but maybe consider that.
aaaaaääää

The great part about this post is how painful it is to read because it describes Disquieted so well

Half of his reads are STILL complete bunk and all his scum reads are just easy targets

You're a hypocrite, NNR.

You know why I suspected you in the first place? Cause you weren't doing anything on Day 1.

At least I give a read on the entire game. You have contributed NOTHING for the entire game except to rage some more when I flip town.

It's easy to rag on someone for trying to solve more than one person when you don't fire trucking do it yourself, and maybe you could realise that you scumread the entire game which means you're no better than BBM or I at playing this game, which according to you is scummy. I just actually say things other than "lynch Daiya" in the thread.

Put up or shut up. Vote Polaris if you care so much. Or are you just going to be a coward and sit on the biggest wagon in the thread and have one read in the whole game?

If you think its that easy to light my fuse, you'll be sorely dissapointed.

You act like I'm "sitting on the biggest wagon" but its my wagon on a player I think is scum

I got mad about d1 because the lynch went on someone I was fully expecting to flip town, over another player I thought was much less likely.

What would me switching prove? That I'm not dedicated to the wagon I've been steamrolling all day? That I think Polaris is more likely scum? That all it takes to get me to switch is gaslighting me?

Hell no.

For someone who seems so confident that I'm scum you have read exactly none of my posts.

Thanks for proving you have no reads. A regular person gives their unabashed thoughts about players in the game and don't have to think about having to paint them as particular alignments. You get to do it easy and not do anything but point at people doing stuff and call it scummy while doing absolutely nothing of your own.

You're telling me I'm pushing the weakest players in the game. Yes, I'm certainly pushing a player literally nobody else wants to push for some ODD REASON and a claimed power role.

I mean it's not like you're the paragon of pushes either, you're literally pushing someone who was at L-2 and literally Serela. By definition of everyone else in the game, we're the weakest players in the game.

But it's ok for you cause you believe I'm scum?

i'll just share where i'm at on serela right now.

serela has been the butt of so many jokes about his "sereliness" (which i use to encapsulate e.g. flailing, making stupid decisions without thinking things through, etc.) that i honestly find it hard to believe that scum!serela would drink and then post drunk, unless A. he is a criminal mastermind who is confident to post while drunk as scum and did this for the gambit or B. he is a criminal mastermind who pulled a fast one on me by faking being drunk

(btw i have experienced serela drink at like 5 pm before so him drinking is not a new concept for me)

Yes well you've made several things very clear in this post, Polaris. In order of worry;

1. You think I'm trying to push NNR. That's not the case, but let's get over that, cause it doesn't pertain to your alignment.

2. You're trying to read NNR scum. Now given that I don't think anyone has said NNR as an option I'm not exactly sure why you're considering that as an option. I think I'm actually overrating this as an issue, but do you just like sidelining conversation and hope a mislynch comes out of it?

3. By even acknowledging that my """push""" on NNR is trying to make NNR look scum, you think that I'm town. Cause scum don't push scum.

Now tell me, am I going to look into any of your past posts and find any sort of issues with any of these statements? Cause this is quite a fair question and I don't know the answer to this myself.

oh, no i think i correctly understood that your intention wasn't to actually push NNR as a scum, but i thought it was an "oh snap" moment and did make me rethink NNR really quick in the beginning, but like i said the whole interaction made him look town which is kind of disappointing because it would have been a really well-timed twist

my read on you has changed at least to a point where i would prefer not to lynch you at the moment (i think i've said that before, or have i? i remember saying i didn't like the votes on the smartbomb wagon), which would mean, under a different phrasing, i think of you as relatively less scummy as i did before
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Two)
Post by: NekoNekoRex on April 20, 2020, 12:41:55 AM
I see the rest of d2 going one of three ways

-Daiya gets to be the token mislynch just based on them being the weak semilurker that probably isn't scum (like meow)
-Disquieted gets lynched though it will probably peter out in favor of Daiya because Disquieted posts more
-I lynch Serela completely on a whim based on d1

What sort of townsmember considers alignments not as something to solve but as a convenient plot twist?

"oh wow NNR is scum! a shocking development!"

"I never expected my townread to be scum! oh wow! but I'm gonna predict it cause it would mean I was right all alon-"

There is no way you read me as less scummy than before now, you don't give any sort of credence to what I'm doing unless you legitimately think I'm town and what I was doing comes from a town centred alignment, and if that's the case why are you fine with this fire trucking L-2 wagon on me? What you just wrote for my read is unabashed word salad that literally says nothing about my alignment and is short form leaving the option in I get lynched.

Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Two)
Post by: Polaris on April 20, 2020, 01:05:42 AM
ok, so let me see if i understand what you're saying.

- polaris is thinking that smartbomb was pushing nnr
- smartbomb can only push nnr if smartbomb is town
- polaris must be scum because he's acting like smartbomb is town, although he has not indicated anything of the sort prior

is this how you're seeing it?

my point of view was that i couldn't care less what smartbomb was doing, but i hadn't actively considered nnr's alignment for a while since i filed him away as town, so i thought i'd gauge his reaction to see if there would be any interesting developments. but i concluded that nnr's alignment was town in the end.

i think it's fine to say "i was hoping nnr was scum" in the same way that i could say "i was hoping serela would scumslip while drunk" because that would make things easier for me
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Two)
Post by: Polaris on April 20, 2020, 01:08:28 AM
also tbh smartbomb your wagon has already fallen apart, i don't think i need to really do anything further to dismantle it (note: serela and bbm have already expressed intentions to switch barring any new developments, so nnr was really the last serious vote on the wagon)

i guess this is my fault for not being clear about my reads as i was before :/ after bbm announced his intention to switch off smartbomb, the nnr-serela-zeenana-tom wagon did not exactly inspire me with confidence, so when i expressed that i would rather vote daiya over smartbomb i figured it was obvious the wagon was done for? like you didn't particularly act like you thought the wagon actually held any weight since then, so it surprises me now that you were actually that worried about it

To be honest as much as I was seeing Polaris as town D1, I'm not seeing it so much any more. If Nucleus is scum, Polaris' refusal to actually talk about him despite having (at least as far as I see it) pretty clear opinions on Nucleus' contemporaries for possible lynching.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Two)
Post by: NucleusWaffles on April 20, 2020, 01:41:29 AM
I think Big Bang Meteor/Raikaria/Yaesulf is the scum team.

I mean no offense to Tom but he is busy with other obligations and is likely joining this game because forum mafia is the biggest hit and the last remaining community spirit MoTK has got going for it.

Taking Tom out because he is not posting, when he has a strong alibi is not helpful.

Daiya was taking a similar stance, but the choice of words when he was riled up and immediately clammed makes me think we are not on the right track.

Similarly, NNR had absolutely no reason whatsoever to join in the firefight which Polaris, Disquieted, Big Bang Meteor were starting, this seems very town with me.

Going with Serela too, I think Polaris vs Serela was very genuine frustration at a stagnant game.

Disquieted was annoyed at the casualness which this game is being approached, and retailiated from not being taken seriously and relief from voting pressure being off by starting another wagon, I think this is a scummy move but comes from a reasonable place.

I also think Disquieted's role speculation is really off coming from a town place, like I literally remember someone saying Masons/Tracker dead town has no power roles. That sounds like gloating, and who do we have here that's repeatedly drilling this logic in our heads?

I refer you to #1085 and #1097, both on page 37, masons mentioned by raikaria, then BBM.

Literally, nobody else talked about power roles in pages 37 to 40 since I last checked in.

I feel our roles are being fished out by a scum team that thinks they are winning, and are now content to let us play the traditionalist game while they speculate on the power roles

Yeah I'd say I'm less suspicious of Disquieted than I was. I'd be happy to join a Tom, Daiya, Zeenana, or maybe a Serela lynch. Maaaybe a Raikara one too but that'd be a bit of a stretch.

BBM is at this point is probably my highest townread. After my initial suspicion on D1 I'm warming to Fabloo, the more he leverages his privileged position the better in my opinion, which is also why I wish PX would post more.

sorry, i guess i should also count your latest post about me as an opinion. i forgot at first because it was about me

cut: ok these seem like weirdly reasonable opinions, the problem is that scum can also easily fake these sorts of opinions so i think (if you're town) you should start posting your thoughts without having to be prompted so we can get a better idea of if they're happening genuinely or if you're trying to fake it.

My powers are aligned with the universe. Thus, I cannot comment on the matter at this moment.

I am a universal backup. Each night, I may target a player, if they die, I receive their powers.

I targeted Daiya on N1, I got nothing.

I have other conditions to my powers but I would like to not fully divulge at the moment.

he has to target the person on the night they're killed

Tfw Nucleus's post has some decent points about daiya and smartbomb but then susses me

Of all the ways to suspect me, only rolespeccing instead of trying to scumhunt is a very weird one. The entire point of me talking about the dead roles is to show how we actually cannot rely on roles.

I just don't understand the Polaris votes. I feel like his mindset is really townie. He's really trying to engage with his scumreads, even reading past games. Having trouble imagining someone going back to reread an old game to push a mislynch on serela of all people. That feels very unnecessary (sorry serela), though I suppose polaris could just be making stuff up.

##Unvote, ##Vote: Daiya

Was mulling this over for a while but I think this is the most likely to hit scum. There have been some points they've made but I've consistently felt that daiya has come in to post under pressure? I can't explain every part of their play from a scum mindset but several times I feel like they're either piling onto other wagons or unvoting once sentiment changes. The smartbomb vote and unvote for example felt like this. I don't see connectivity between their D1 and D2. I don't believe they talked much about smartbomb on D1 and I don't believe they've talked much about their D1 suspects on D2. (Phoneposting unfortunately so I can't verify this)

Daiya, who do you think is scum? I feel like you haven't really pushed the stuff you did in D1. What do you still think about Tom? Yaersulf?

Don't feel super well so this is probably it for me tonight.

Wait, to clarify, does the person have to die specifically on the night you target them or can they die at any time after you target them? Can you only target one person ever?

Post by: BigBangMeteor on April 20, 2020, 02:48:16 AM
If they have to die on the night you target them (how I interpreted it), town!Daiya was never going to be killed N1 because D1 ended with several ppl talking about how they wanted to lynch daiya on D2.

ok after examining the flipped role PMs it seems like there's a pattern of not having standardized role names, so i think it's possible that nucleus tried to look up his role and came up with "universal backup" as the name even though universal backups (at least the way i understand it) work differently from that.

re: BBM, as far as i remember, dormio does not give fakeclaims (as far as i remember, motk games generally do not give fakeclaims other than a "here's what a vanilla townie role pm looks like")

I have nothing else to offer, the game stagnated, we had one day left which is reasonably long enough for a shift in opinions and short enough to deny a scum coordinated response.

I hate do this but now that it's out in the open.

I am a very special flavour character, I just need to know everyone's genders in-game for my powers to work.

I am a male character.

Quote from: NucleusWaffles
If I have the gender of the characters I can know which targets will fail.

These are two big hints in itself. What is likely to be showcased here is that Nucleus can only target Male characters. I think what he was saying here is if he targets a female character, his action will fail. This likely means that Daiya is a female. Thus why the action failed.

and one of them already flipped vanilla townie.

Yeah. This is a fail-safe role used in tandem with another role that is very likely Male and some form of PR. I think the limiting factor revolves around balance. I don't think Nucleus is lying.

It very well could. I do think however that another thing has been revealed in this process.. There is a role in here that has no gender. Look at the votecount 10 female and 2 male. 13 people alive. This role is very likely third-party.

No. I'm just adding onto setup speculation with what's going on. Nucleus is probably not third-party. Third-party exists though. Who knows what would happen if Nucleus were to target this third-party however.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Two)
Post by: Disquieted on April 20, 2020, 05:03:18 AM
I know I just said that but some sort of third party role (not necessarily exactly what he's claimed, but close to) would make a whole lot of sense to this.

Honestly just get every person in the game to claim whether they are male/female or not. Not what gender, just that they are male/female. If nobody owns up to it, you're probably right that there's a third party.

I strongly advise against claiming gender at all anymore. Scum are likely going to fish for the other male character that is a PR and works with Nucleus in some way.

Third party is likely just going to say they're female at this point. It's not worth even saying if they have a gender or not.

given that nucleus doesn't seem to be following up, i will state that i believe i understand the mechanics of his role and i would like to believe it's a town role.

i think everyone claiming genders might be a bad idea if my speculation about the setup is correct, but if we agree to do so then i won't mind (i just won't mention my speculations)

Since we're in weird flavourtown land already, is there even a set scum team flavourwise in this game? Or are we just guessing who's what in terms of characters and scum alignments?

Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Two)
Post by: Fabloo on April 20, 2020, 05:32:26 AM
I think Dormio isn't a fool and won't have the scumteam be instinctively villains in a traditional sense. I was saving it for later but that red haired character I kept talking about? That's Adol Christin. The main character of the whole series. That role itself could be scum for silly reasons. I'm starting to think it's not however but.

Gender was only put in place to facilitate mechanics and have them work with roles. I think this benefits scum as well. Hence we should no longer claim our genders. You can even go back further to Zwerdjib dying. A person who claimed their gender.

Your approach to Nucleus is "he is unreadable, I will not attempt to read him, oh look, he claimed a role, time to ignore him again".

Literally nothing you have said makes it sound like you care about his alignment. Given that I can't really see you having a confident approach to this game, rolling your eyes seems to be the incorrect reaction. You should be crossing your eyes looking at this, not attempting to not give a care.

*Wakes up*

*Reads Serela drunkposting, Nucleus suggesting that the scumteam involves me/BBM/Yasulf somehow despite our interactions based purely on rolespec; more FLAVOUR SPEC; and Polaris seemingly deleting their account because I can't click their username to look back on their post history to re-read them specifically*

You see, things like this is why I wanted to sleep before re-reading this nonsense.

Also why on earth would Waffles actually claim Universal Backup in this situation?

And he says his scumteam read is clear but it's entirely based on me and BBM mentioning the masons before... and then he goes and claims his PR when his case is based on PR speculation and thinking we're fishing for PR info?

And Polaris tells him to fullclaim and he does with no resistance or suspicion of Polaris despite his case being about PR fishing.

Does that chain of events make absolutely no sense to anyone else?

I understand the scumteam is reasonably confused, which is the effect I had hoped to achieve

##Unvote
##Vote raikaria

At this point I believe its hunting for which scum on my team list BBM/Raikaria/Yaesulf has the most powerful role which can finally help swing things back in our favour.

I think Raikaria's/Yaesulf strategic posting activity implies a stronger role, BBM is likely the weaker link so can put himself out there more.


To accelerate things, here's a tl;dr of what happened, give or take Raikaria, as I respect your occupation in saving lives;

Disquieted lynch was disputed by me. Alternative lynch target Daiya also disputed by me.

Polaris vs Serela vs BBM vs Me. I was asked to fullclaim, I partially claimed.

Fabloo, Polaris, BBM, NNR, and I somewhat agreed on shaky grounds, so we now should have no immediate further need to pursue Daiya (I think and hope this remains true).

I also backed my PR claim with my scumteam read of BBM/Yaesulf/Raikaria, my main argument being the power role speculations seem to be a scum slip after outing our strong investigational roles.

End of briefing.


In summary, we have little time left and I strong discourage against lynching Daiya specifically. I am heavily townreading NNR, Disquieted so I doubt they would help.

The Fabloo situation is too complex to handle as too much information is missing from my side, I hope that now that I have claimed we can progress while keeping Fabloo alive for now, because other than the role which seems especially weird. I see Fabloo agreeing to my role mechanics very accurately which makes me townread him.

The only way you're accomplishing this at this point is by making people want to lynch you. How does what you've said exonerate Daiya?

Sorry I think I need to talk about this chain of events more because it is really; really bugging me:

Waffles makes a scumteam case which is largely based off other people lightly speculateing on roles. The proposed scumteam is me and 2 people I've tried to lynch as well which is really odd.

I also want to draw attention to this statement:

I mean no offense to Tom but he is busy with other obligations and is likely joining this game because forum mafia is the biggest hit and the last remaining community spirit MoTK has got going for it.

Thing is; this is the only mention before Nucleus' mention of Tom being busy before Nucleus says this:

Okay, a lot happened while I was away, been a busy day.
Been reading up to this point and my interest has indeed moved from Serela to Disquieted.  I still read Serela as possible-scum but I'm going to help pressure Disquieted.

## Unvote
## Vote Disquieted


And he gives Tom a pass for being busy when I've been saying this all game. I dunno this feels a little bit off. Especially since this is the first thing he says after claiming his scumteam theory instead of explaining his scumteam theory.

Waffles has 2 votes out of 7 required to lynch at this point, and at the point Polaris tells him to Fullclaim.

And then, despite him saying me and BBM are scum for 'rolefishing' he full outs with no seeming suspicion or hesitation. At 2/7. Because Polaris said so. There's not even much real time between these two posts.

I mean seriously. This. Makes. No. Sense.

And then there's the fact BBM brought up about him claiming to have targeted Daiya. Except:

1: BBM quotes his claim that he forgot Daiya ws even playing, making a Daiya target strange

2: I highly doubt scum would have targeted Daiya too. His last mention of Daiya during Day 1 is #188 (https://www.shrinemaiden.com/index.php?topic=123.msg4508#msg4508) where he states he would be happy to lynch Daiya. Why would he Universal Backup someone he is happy to lynch, and a lot of the game has expressed at the very best a null read on? Surely; there's no way they'd be the scumkill target in that case?

His case makes no sense. His claim makes no sense and the timing is suspicious, not to mention the fact he fullclaimed at all conflicts with his case. His claim of targeting Daiya makes no sense.

And now I really need to re-read Polaris because he's the one who suggested the fullclaim. Except I can't go check Polaris' post history AAAAAAAAA.

It's annoying because I actually leaned town on Waffles until the events while I slept. But this whole situation looks really; really; really suspicious and makes absolutely no sense, and I'm not the first one to say so.

##Unvote
##Vote: NucleusWaffles

Cut by Waffles actually mentioning me saying I'm busy. And then throwing in that me/Yaesulf are 'strategically posting'. What? How? Are you missing the fact he's been my #1 or #2 scumread most of the game? And I was actively wagoning him D1 as a counterwagon to Meow? Who was town?

He openly outed his role when he was in no position of danger, after Polaris suggested to; just after complaining about people rolefishing.

So I 100% do not believe him. Especially combined with his claim that Daiya was his N1 target.

People can fakeclaim.

Don't get me wrong, I'll move and consilidate if need be, but if you're not gonna vote everyone who claims a PR [And TELL EVERYONE THIS] everyone could just claim a PR to switch your vote. Then what happens at deadline?

He did say he'd delete his account after the mafia.

He just finished playing the mafia.

This makes re-reading him quite difficult and labourous, especially after the concerns raised by him telling Waffles to out and him outing.

People can absolutely fakeclaim. Why not let results when we have more time on our hands determine what happens to him instead of using our lynch on someone that could seeingly benefit us. If he's telling the truth.

Again. It's D2. If this were a little farther into the game when scum start making moves and creating stronger claims I would consider the position if I had to. This is not me clearing him of all suspicion. This is me wanting a consensus.

Who else do you want to lynch?
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Two)
Post by: Disquieted on April 20, 2020, 07:44:48 AM
Few things.

It's really, really hard to continue playing this game in earnest when people are subbing out cause mafia sucks. I know that they both subbed out for appropriate reasons but it's really demoralizing and it really doesn't help that there's probably some people going to push for an accounting after this game. Solid stuff.

I suspect NucleusWaffles a lot, probably more than the rest of the game, but let's be honest, this is going to resolve itself. We see what the protagonist flips or whatever, we deal with it in time, cause currently we don't have all the information that we should and that's problematic; we deal with this when more information is presented to us in time. There's no rush, it's Day 2.

Every second that passes I want to lynch NucleusWaffles more and more cause I'm not lynching an empty slot, and if the alternative is Daiya who NucleusWaffles may have just rolecopped, this game could descend into really dumb stuff. Even after what I just said.

Probably getting way too frustrated at Polaris's sub. Talk to me after the game ends, not extremely necessary to get into right now.

I have a very weak and silly reason, but if I can calm your nerves I will spill it out.

In D1, not with the list thing, I asked Daiya's opinion on his comments about the set-up, and here I quote;
?
it's a closed setup, so i don't believe there's much to say in that regard.

This was the reason why I chose Daiya.

Also, Disquieted, please.

You are one of my favourite voice for being rational and analysing threads, conversely, I heavily townread you.

Your presence was part of the reason I felt confident enough to partial claim despite BBM being here, whom I believe is a team with Yaesulf/Raikaria, both of whom swooped in immediately to attack my claim.

I hope Disquieted, please stay calm and analyse, we still have time.

I don't think a Rai lynch is something that will happen. Not that I'm entirely against it. We just have a ton of unwillingness.

Nucleus. I understand what you're doing a bit. In some retrospect I actually agree with your points despite everyone trying to write you off. I just think that even if you were one hundred percent correct and scum were doing exactly as you predicted. They'd probably keep doing it.

Mostly because not many people are listening to you. If you could summarize your opinion on Daiya and why you don't want him lynched I'll hear it. I also originally wanted to vote Yearsulf myself but it was shut down. I don't know if this gains traction in 24 hours though. I look at what's happened between then and now and I see most of it being prep.

Sorry Dearest Sister but We disagree. We see a malevolent being in front of us caught in a lie, as they're claims make no sense. If they're role worked on targeting people dying at night, the obvious kill targets would be the ideal ones, and I doubt Daiya was high on anybody's list. We shall not be getting off this train as We believe this one is true. Otherwise, all that will be lost if they are telling the truth is a almost vanilla role that works at best on 4 targets, 1 of which it doesn't even work on.

I look at what's happened between then and now and I see most of it being prep.

I do not want to lynch Daiya from a very personal space; I townread him and see him as a power role.

Before my claim, if Daiya was nightkilled, I would get his abilities, then on N3 I can use my abilities and some other investigative role may confirm my results had I claimed D2 like right now.

On D1, I heavily suspected Fabloo/PX is a surivor third party, which also drove my decision to Backup Daiya, who responded favourably to my probe.

Moreover, circumstances have changed since because our Tracker was killed.
According to BBM, who was a highly experienced player, this setup is therefore unlikely to have more investigative roles.

I was demotivated and had to reconsider my options to find out how to fit all the puzzle pieces together. Because back a few hours ago, before my claim, I already had the groundwork laid for a rough mimicry of a Follow the Cop strategem, with myself as a superman.

I heavily townread Disquieted, hence I kept arguing against his lynch. I heavily townread Daiya based on the D1 probe and have invested stakes because I believe he has an inheritable ability.

I could not really figure out the right way to break the game without factoring in that, ultimately, someone has to be lying. Based on the robustness of the role description I received, I am most drawn to the BBM statement 'most town investigative roles are dead', I checked the mafiascum wiki, and 15 players is considered a large game.

Therefore, I started to suspect BBM not being honest, and did a Ctrl+F on the role discussions, especially ones that are reinforcing the idea 'mason' rather than 'third party'.

Then I had a stroke of inspiration that since page 37, only the BBM/Yaesulf/Raikaria team was mentioning roles under the assumption the masons are hard-confirmed. When there has been no such confirmation coming from a power role outside of the PX/Fabloo duo.

I think raikaria is very brilliant as part of the scumteam for coming in and reacting promptly to my claim, pressing hard on the pedal reiterating that things just don't make sense.

Which, is followed by countervoting me. This effectively has become a duel between us, and neutering the flow which I had breadcrumbed since D1 start.

I thought I was subbing into a scum slot for a while, thank god.

I haven't read much (I skimmed some stuff at D2 start and then skipped to see what happened with the sub) and am kinda confused by Nucleus being wagoned because they seemed like insane town. I feel less sure about Fabloo town than I did last game because they feel more like a background presence, but then again working with no info vs knowing they are town probably makes a difference. Need to read them though. I had a weird feeling about TBZ too in ED2. The only current "wagon" ig I could get behind is Daiya but I don't have anything solid there yet beyond "their posting feels different" to the last game I played with them. Kinda wary because they got mislynched there too though.

This stuff is all about what I thought pre-sub so I need to actually read strawberries and see if any of these holds up or not.

I am staunchly against baseing any of my reads on flavour.

Furthermore; I would think it is a reasonable assumption to say there is a minimum of 3 Mafia. If there are two 3rd parties; this can mean that non-town can force a No-Lynch as early as 10 players alive.

I do not believe this would ever be a possibility.

Right after pushing people for 'hunting for PRs' at that?

That's what really irks me. Well; that and the claim of targeting Daiya. In fact, with him claiming he is confident Daiya is a PR; he could be a Scum Rolecop. It would explain his 'targeting' of Daiya, seeing if he was a Power Role.

I need a drink.

Daiya is the super-easy world. It means I've thought of everything and nothing is wrong. If I feel so confident on it I can put pen to paper and actually case him. I don't cause he is easy.

Nucleus is a really dumb world.

Both Daiya and Nucleus aren't scum together. Daiya might be scum, but I'm trying to come up with other directions right now and it's falling short. So something isn't right, and I should at least explore other options even if he is. Nucleus could be scum but I don't really give a strawberries about that given what I've said, and the flavourgaming and rolegaming Fabloo is doing is really nice to listen to. There's just too many doubts.

I think the main issue I would have is that my direct PoE then becomes Banana spritzee and Tom. And like that would be cool I suppose, but if Daiya is hardbussing his partner on Day 1, that doesn't really make any sense. So what am I missing?

Scumteam is away from computer.

Scumteam can be away from computer because scumteam hasn't been pressured yet.

If it's just TBZ raikaria Tom this game was unnecessarily stupid. But I'd throw my hands up at that.

Lynch TBZ for being bad and call it a day.

If you want a better idea I would assume it had something to do with "he's smart, nobody wants to argue he's scum, he's got good thought patterns that I enjoy and I have a rule not to look too closely at people who are good at mafia on Day 1."

Tbh the “nobody wants to argue he’s scum” on D1 makes me look at certain players more.

I don’t actually scumread BBM here (I don’t read him either way yet) but ED1 feels like scum would be very comfortable with not much going on, which makes me a little nervous.

Also Serela’s Fabloo vote kinda sucked.

Stupid because of Bard and Tom D1?

I get the feeling that they shouldn’t realistically be scum here together but I remember feeling like Tom was only scum with Bard if he was scum with anyone at one point.

This game is weird.

No it's stupid because people were fighting at each other when the scumteam are doing literally nothing.

Post by: NucleusWaffles on April 20, 2020, 11:53:26 AM
So let's talk about a few pieces of confidence that I have so we can get things in perspective.

NNR is town. I'm going to ignore everything he's doing and focusing on the fact that he really thinks I'm pushing him because of his character. It means he cares about his character in a towny manner, and I don't want to spend more than the necessary time on this.

Raikaria is probably town for a similar virtue that he doesn't actually know how alignments are going to be set in this game. Honestly, I don't know either, and maybe the good guys are town or whatever. Who knows. But Rai doesn't really know. So let's stop here before going into the mess that is people's posts and reads.

Then we have people who have posted stuff. I'm still getting townvibes off BBM right now, how he's talking sounds like he's being genuine and he is struggling and if I'm being snowed, that's on me. I'll sort this out later.

Then we have Tom. Now I can plot what he's doing but he's really taken a very lazy seat in this game and I can plot it out from a town perspective but it is significantly worse than yesterday, he's posted graphs and naked voted people and that's it. This may be because he got basically made fun of on Day 1 as town, instead of being mafia and phoning it in. He needs to improve.

There's also this post:
Which is, uh incredibly problematic. How this is problematic is best left up as an exercise to the reader.

We have Banana Spritzee who I don't really trust with his entrance, not going to lie. Bardiche was very very town, but Banana Spritzee is playing the AWOL card and not caring what's going on and I refuse to let that sort of behaviour fly, especially since that's also what he does as scum. It's nonsense. He's also got some weird balance of knowing what's going on but trying to pretend he doesn't care? It's hard to describe, call tomorrow.

Neither player has lost enough towncred to be a consideration for me right now. I will lynch Banana Spritzee cause if he doesn't play games I can be more than irritable regardless of how I feel about Bardiche. But let's move on, this is me complaining, either they do something or they won't and I'll complain regardless.

Yaersulf is someone I'm surprised isn't getting more attention right now and it's really adding to this strange state that Fabloo is talking about. Like, I'm not against it, cause Yaersulf's reaction to Fabloo's secret stuff is very townie and makes sense cause you don't get upset at a supposed cop claiming you yourself are guilty unless you're town, right? That's how that ended up. But that's just been accepted as kosher. And I guess I'll just use this as a thought about how scum don't really feel like taking initiative this game. It's a very out there read that involves a lot of the circumstances in this game but yeah. I don't think a mislynch is being pushed by scum, they're just letting town push other town and not even trying to open up other options. Whether that's sheeping other cases or just not having the thread presence, who knows. Maybe that might be a good observation for other people.

I don't feel like Serela is scum, but I can't exactly say Serela is town. If Polaris is assessing Serela's scum meta properly, well... meh. This is kind of a locked door for me and I really don't know how to judge him, and quite honestly I'm running out of scumreads, so he'll reside here until I think more about either Banana Spritzee or Tom.

We have Polaris, who I will leave in this category because this is the Polaris category. That is all.

And so that leaves a few people left. I feel like properly examining Daiya makes sense once everyone's given more than lipservice to him, so that'll wait. I have further comments on him that I need to nail down looking at him again though.

And I still don't know what to make of NucleusWaffles. It's not the "man this guy is weird" category. It's something else. When someone doesn't consider himself a town PR (assumedly cause he says he's weak, but how does he even have a judge of that? This is his first game!), when someone doesn't die on N1 - like say the mafia is dodging a doc. Zwerdjib's a pretty natural doc dodge for a multitude of reasons, but why wouldn't you hit the weakest town PR? If zwerdjib wasn't the tracker the night would've been questionable.

Every post he makes is word salad yes, but if you actually try and read his posts... nothing of consequence is really said. I don't need a summary of the game, I need thoughts on the game. Maybe that's just his thing. I have doubts.

This isn't even getting into the role part of him. That's something I don't want to push too much on my own for obvious reasons. But I have problems with that as well. If he's a flavourcop, why doesn't he just say what his results are? That's only one of the many questions that I'd like to ask but won't.

This post solidifies my townread on Disquieted. I am pretty sure off memory, I won't be able to find something for Yaesulf, but I am rereading raikaria and BBM, it should be fairly quick.

Post by: NucleusWaffles on April 20, 2020, 12:05:41 PM
I'm kinda working backwards here, so bear with me:

Disquieted and BBM are setting up for pushing Daiya D2 at ED1 in #729/730.

Zwed seems to be somewhat pressureing Serela in #722; he's also notably voting Serela ED1 despite being around so near hammer.

BBM seems rather buddy-buddy with Smartbomb in #720

Zwed's vote on Serela seems to be 'no we're not voting Smartbomb'. Not the most useful interaction.

Disquieted votes on meow in #698 without any explanation. The lack of explanation is quite telling, since at this time; Fabloo and Yaersulf's wagons are both on 5.

BBM in #699 echos the 'not turboing Smartbomb' thing. More buddy-buddy. They have a habit of posting right after each other too.

#712; Daiya shows up and basically just wagonhops with the sentiment 'This can't be stopped *shrug*'. Not great.

Either BBM's reads are wrong, everyone on the Townie wagon was wrong, or BBM is scum.

Also; I don't particularly recall BBM previously expressing a bad read on me, but maybe I'll come across it.

I don't like posts like this.

AAAARGHGHHH! Votes with no reasons! Are so unhelpful! Especially enmasse!

This post from Daiya makes their eventual wagonhop look more like a legitimate 'I'm consolidating'. Also; the 'no-one is defending them' seems like a legitimate concern and a good point.

Scumreads would have been helpful, but I guess 'null reads' are his 'scumreads'.

BBM in #683 a least is pushing on Meow on who he thinks is most likly to be scum, and Meow responds Polaris and Tom.

Dosen't this opinion conflict with the 'new player pass' attitude however? You can't attribute bad play to 'new player' and then say 'I can't see new player who is playing badly acting this way'.

And where is this sentiment when Meow lays down with a VT claim?

This post is raiseing alarm bells due to inconsistency; especially with his Smartbomb buddying.

Also this post looks like a uge slip.

If meow is more suspicious than Serela... then you should be voting meow? Also why is this even a problem to BBM when BBM is voting Meow himself? Why would he be against this?

Also worth noting at this point:

Hmm. BBM and Smartbomb back to back again.

I actually really dislike BBM's end of day...

Also on my earlier point of hsi bad read on me:

'Raikaria is refusing to give out newbie passes and is pushing for people he states he thinks are making scummy play. This is bad'. - That's what I read here.

Aka: Raikaria is scumhunting newbies so he is scummy and the worst-looking player imo right now.

How does this logic work?

Also I'm under the impression that Roles are rolled for? The scumteam isn't curated by the GM as far as I'm aware. Dormio and other GM's don't manically laugh as they try and create the most hilarious scumteam.

All the newbies could be scum. Or none of them.

---

I think I've read enough. BBM has been buddying Smartbomb hard, has some really weird statements [Why are you voting Meow over Serela if you think Meow is more suspicious? How does this opinion make ANY sense?] and his read on me also makes no sense [Although this could be OMGUS talking. If someone else disagrees with my read of BBM's opinion on me, feel free to correct me].

But right now I'm happy doing this. I'm also not particularly impressed with Smartbomb's ED1 and those two come across as buddying to me.

##Vote: BigBangMeteor

---

cut:

I might be misinterpreting this but it feels like you're saying your Smartbomb vote could apply to everyone. On re-read I think I might be misinterpreting it. As I said, my brain is kinda melted down.

I reread and I found I disliked this post the most.

I don't think this is solid evidence for a BBM-raikaria scumteam, but I think its surprisingly covers a very short timeframe despite being a high effort post and raikaria was not under much pressure at the stage.

I disliked it because, I think coupled with the lack of votes and the sentiment shared about a possible scum!raikaria, I think this post can be evidence for or against my opinions. Which makes this a bit hard.

In summary, despite my problems with how long this post is versus how infrequent raikaria comes online, this case is structure quite soundly which makes me doubt BBM-raikaria can both be scum especially with such a determined vote from raikaria.

Yaesulf is next.

Short quips, not walls, but generally reasonable opinions that are not too offensive and reads quite null.

Nothing too remarkable like starting/derailing a wagon, nor hard buddying a player, just easygoing and relaxed.

Post by: sb on April 20, 2020, 12:50:32 PM
My gut 20 pages in is that we should be looking into a Serela lynch rn. My read is that most of the people involved in the ugly fights are probably town and scum were uninvolved, with the exception of possibly Bard. So generally I feel like scum are getting off easy and nothing Serela has one so far has made me particularly comfortable, but his initial Fabloo vote felt like it ignored the context around their unvote, and Zwer was gunning for them later on and they were the nightkill instead of the Mason slots, or even BBM or something. You could argue “it was a doc dodge” but it looks like scum were super comfy with how the gamestate was or else I think they would’ve killed a Mason or someone with more influence. Idk if I’m overthinking this one though.

Still reading.

Post by: BigBangMeteor on April 20, 2020, 12:50:46 PM
Sb thank God pls tell me who's scum. Are you gonna be awake for deadline?

@nucleus- Well the one thing that hints at me and raikaria bring possible buddies is that we had a slapfight where we posted big walls and then unvoted each other within a few hours. But uh I'm not buddies with raikaria.

I still just don't understand why you targeted daiya n1. You keep tiptoeing around the question. People have quoted posts showing you were suspicious of daiya D1. How did you go from that to him being your strongest townread just because you suspected px/fabloo of being third party? Grr.

Regardless, please target NNR on N2 Nucleus. Fairly sure this is the non-mason slot with the least suspicion atm. Yes, I know it gives a signal to the mafia to not kill NNR but that's fine, it makes them make a less optimal kill.

I don't really see the point of having everyone say "I have a gender". Obviously the person without a gender will just... Lie. I have a gender though!

Also I believe nucleus said he could only target females, not males. A backup for a specific role is a thing but in that case the backup is triggered automatically, they don't have to also target the dead person on that night. That would just be lame and almost impossible to hit correctly.

Also my bad in my vote against daiya I think I said their vote/unvote of smartbomb didn't seem genuine but what I meant was their vote/unvote against polaris.

Backup for females only (if that’s what it is?) could easily just be a balancing mechanism for preventing specific roles from being copied.

I am not sure if I like smartbomb saying that they thought Yaersulf was town when the votes were 6: meow/5: Yaersulf and then unvoting meow to sit alone on the Daiya wagon without really trying to get a lynch there.

I guess he came back soon after but this really rubbed me the wrong way.

smartbomb's come back now but it hasn't really gone anywhere yet so i don't see much need to revisit it (Summary of the case on you in one sentence:Waffley rambling that doesn't go anywhere for all of D1, underwhelming scumhunting in general)

also daiya literally said in one of their last few posts that they've played several games of mafia before

Serela, hasn’t this case been used against you for like, years? With you often flipping town?

I’m kinda baffled that you of all people would bring this up.

Post by: sb on April 20, 2020, 02:25:49 PM
Wow. You knew what I was thinking, huh.

Since we're in weird flavourtown land already, is there even a set scum team flavourwise in this game? Or are we just guessing who's what in terms of characters and scum alignments?

I assume this theoretical gender lacking person has a win condition that is, what, harmful? Evil? Or just joking around?

Dormio is willing to flavour the scumteam as more or less anything, as far as I can tell. Angel Beats had the scumteams basically be the main characters vs other main characters vs everything else.

I did, however, manage to claim the mighty post 1337.

##Vote: Serela

I don't feel like Serela has really done much this game. They've posted, yeah, but I've been missing the manic townie energy from their posts, which was present in the last game and I think their cases haven't been particularly solid. They feel really uh, in-the-moment instead of looking at the big picture of the game so it feels more like they're trying to look good instead of look at scum. Their early Fabloo vote and their Nucleus vote recently are both "aha, gotcha" votes that don't feel like they have any kind of townie fervor behind them... which is sort of the point of gotcha votes.

I think the gamestate is pretty clearly stagnant because scum aren't in trouble right now, but at the first sign of danger, zwerd got nightkilled over the claimed masons and other likely townreads, when they were the only person seriously pushing Serela. You can claim that scum were trying to dodge a doc, sure, but also they could've just shot PX lol who would've actually docced PX when they were probably on a single-digit number of posts. Everything feels like scum!Serela to me.

Also, as someone who has drunkposted as scum on many occasions: it really doesn't mean anything.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Two)
Post by: sb on April 20, 2020, 02:45:31 PM
The Nucleus wagon is kind of ugly, especially with the vote timings coming after they claimed. I already touched on Serela's being bad, but rai is also voting Nucleus because their claim didn't "make sense", but they are also playing their first game ever. This is a huuuuge turnaround on someone they supposedly townread before?

I can't say that I hate the Daiya scumreads but him empty unvoting smartbomb when the wagons were 5: smartbomb/3: Daiya read like a town move, I don't think Daiya expected to look any better from the unvote so unless he was very afraid of thunderdoming smartbomb later in the day and wanted to squeeze out of it I think it comes from town.

It was a *minor* townread, and I think that Nucleus' claim and the situation surrounding it are that bad. Belive it or not people can say and do things which change your opinion of them.

To me, it seems nonsensical and such an obvious fakeclaim due to that. Really; main main doubt is that the claim is *so* bad and obviously fake I have some reservations as to if there's anyone in a scum QT helping him. It's like the one way he's town is because his claim is that bad.

I don't know how much you've read since then sb but when you get back can you tell me about the sudden scramble that has happened in D2 afterward? There was this moment in time where Daiya/Disquieted/Serela were all trading blows and then after talking to Disquieted I told him that I felt that they were working overtime if that were the scumteam.

First, I don't think trying to rolespec someone as a sole reason to suspect them based on a setup which was made 6 years ago or something is a line of questioning that is likely to be successful.

Second, do you remember Medaka Box? In that game Dormio included 2 backup roles for different portions of the playerlist.

Does this affect your read on Nucleus?

I've read all but the last few pages, aside from stuff where I subbed in after so I guess there's a little hole but I've read most things.

I'll be honest, it's kind of a blur to me. There have been so many uh, interesting posts this game that after a while my brain felt like it was turning to mush while reading but I thought the fact the Disquieted hit L-2 was a little wack. The problem with looking into it is that I think BBM/NNR are town, Tom *should* be town but he's doing whatever the heck he's doing D2. So it's not like an entirely bad wagon but it has Serela and TBZ on it so that's still a scary looking wagon.

Right now my main thing is that I want a consensus lynch and not something that is scrambled together the very last minute of deadline. I've been suggesting Daiya for the longest time. I actually don't townread Serela either but you'd have to get others to agree. Daiya just seems to be standing in place. His unvote was seemingly conscious but his vote on Tom didn't seem to have any relevance in the first place. Just felt like something he carried over from D1 without thinking about what it meant D2.

As the thread has developed. Daiya seems pretty lost. Maybe unsure. Intimidated maybe? This intidimation could come from him being scum where his Tom vote and lead eventually crumbled and he needed some support from others in the thread in order to validate it. Or something else. The strongest indicator of everything when it comes to Daiya what I'm describing though. This air of indecision. That practically comes from nowhere. I don't like it.

If Daiya were to just come in here. Be honest and say something along the lines of "sorry. My read wasn't that strong after all. I don't know what to do with all this noise around me. The amount of posting has intimidated me." I would be willing to accept that.

There's the underlying factor. Daiya isn't really doing that. He's avoiding confrontation. Is this something he'd do as town?

There was a game within the last... two weeks? Maybe three? Where Daiya played pretty similarly and got lynched without defending himself as town, so I'm hesitant. I wouldn't say that I'm comfortably townreading the slot (I'm not townreading him in general, really) but I think unvoting smartbomb when he did makes him look much better. I don't think Daiya had a well thought out backup case to push or uh, he would've used it. I think he looks lost for sure but it could be town too. This game is hard.

I got the name wrong. He actually moved over to Polaris. I think what I said is still relevant however. Polaris (your slot) has been here long enough and frequent enough to confront him further. Then he just unvoted.

Post by: sb on April 20, 2020, 04:59:35 PM
Okay yeah I somehow misread votals first time through. Hm. Disregard previous point, but I kinda think he's looking a bit better now, for different reasons.

I think Daiya is still approaching the game in the way I'd expect them to do as town based on previous experience (the game I just mentioned):
-Voting Polly for going after a slot they saw as an easy inactive when that was what I did to him last game (I was scum)
-Thinking gambits are more likely to come from town, because a townie fakeclaimed PR at the start of that game as VT
-He even overly brings up "this is what happened to me" with the meow lynch after failing to push the counterwagon

None of this pushes Daiya into firm-town territory but it's like... I can see town!Daiya saying all of these things, especially with how fresh the game would be in his mind.

The weirdest part of his ISO is that I'm not sure why he unvoted my slot (he said Disquieted looked better and then unvoted, which is where my confusion came from) and I'd kinda like an explanation there.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Two)
Post by: BigBangMeteor on April 20, 2020, 05:29:01 PM
Yeah Daiya was voting Polaris not Smartbomb, so I don't feel that the unvote is particularly relevant from like a survival perspective. The unvote kind of feeds into my feeling that his votes/unvotes seem more in line with town consensus than his genuine feelings? Maybe he forgot who he was even voting? Idk why he would unvote polaris but speak about smartbomb.

It also seems fake to me that after a D1 where he spent most of the time voting Tom and then picking consolidation votes that he came in D2 saying "ok I want to look at Serela/Disquieted/Polaris" today. Like... Why?

I agree with the analysis of his ed1 yaersulf townread but don't feel like him apologizing to meow is very relevant.

The point about serela seeming very in the moment is good I guess. I did think the nucleus vote felt weird and very reactionary. But also seems like... too obvious to be scum?

Ftr @fabloo a consensus lynch is unlikely, unnecessary, and kinda unhelpful too.

A lynch that ISN'T consensus is actually more useful than a consensus lynch. If a lynch is consensus that means it's either a mislynch or scum bussed and though the latter is still good it's not super helpful wrt interactions. A non-consensus lynch is more useful because it tells you who argued for it/against it though ofc that doesn't correlate exactly to scum/town either.

Post by: Fabloo on April 20, 2020, 05:47:53 PM

I think Waffles is scum, but it's incredibly difficult to form a case on this because even when I seriously try to read and reread posts like #1268 , my brain just starts melting. It's hard to parse what half of these sentences even mean, I don't just mean the logic within them. Still, his scum cases seem to be based purely off light role speculation, which is... kind of ridiculous. Instead of trying to pay attention to whether someone's acting town or scummy or anything like that, he's just declaring power role discussion as a "scumslip" and voting over it.

The most powerful point against waffles is easily that he says he targetted Daiya with his role on n1, yet he had proceeded to make an early D2 reads post saying he forget Daiya exists. This doesn't make sense, and not in the newbie flailing kind of way, but in the "this night action sounds like a flat-out lie" kind of way with evidence to support as much.

I think he started requesting genders at D1 start in reckless newbie fashion because the scumteam probably has some kind of role that interacts with genders. God knows what his actual role is. Universal Backup is fine, not working on certain characters isn't weird, but he has to target them on the night that they're nightkilled? This is the swingiest backup ever and almost only works if they're forced to claim while run up for a lynch and get nk'd the next night. It also feels bad on balance level because in the other organic situation, where they get a result worth claiming and claim their scum guilty/town clear/etc, scum nks the claimed PR as revenge but it's still alive, which is... cruel? At least with a normal univ. backup this kind of stuff is expected, this backup only reliably works in cases where the scum is clearly nightkilling a publically outted town PR which is probably the least fair place for a backup to exist.

OK, that got overly into rolespec, but my point is, this is a weird restriction on a normally standard role that makes it so weak and swingy that I don't even, not to mention it already doesn't work on the town prs that have currently flipped ontop of that. This is still rolespec, but I'm using it to SUPPORT the far more slam-dunk reason like the Daiya night action seems to be a lie and how he doesn't seem to be scumhunting, just finding excuses to vote people for being scum. Vote waffles for lynchesident 2020

[about serela's disquietedbomb case]
Serela, hasn’t this case been used against you for like, years? With you often flipping town?
Look, explaining the intricacies of your complicated opinions about people is fine, but the problem is smartbomb literally never went -anywhere- all of day one. He just kind of flailed around and then laid on the floor uselessly with absolutely no priorities or desired targets!!

I don't really know how to respond to most of the rest, it's 'serela doesn't feel as much like serela this game' which is, uhm :S I'm accused of gotcha votes but I don't feel like that's what fabloo was (I mean, sure, maybe the initial empty unvote, but it developed from there!!) and I was trying to vote daiya/disquietedbomb inbetween there too ok!!

Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Two)
Post by: Daiya on April 20, 2020, 07:55:09 PM
So let's talk about a few pieces of confidence that I have so we can get things in perspective.

NNR is town. I'm going to ignore everything he's doing and focusing on the fact that he really thinks I'm pushing him because of his character. It means he cares about his character in a towny manner, and I don't want to spend more than the necessary time on this.

Raikaria is probably town for a similar virtue that he doesn't actually know how alignments are going to be set in this game. Honestly, I don't know either, and maybe the good guys are town or whatever. Who knows. But Rai doesn't really know. So let's stop here before going into the mess that is people's posts and reads.

Then we have people who have posted stuff. I'm still getting townvibes off BBM right now, how he's talking sounds like he's being genuine and he is struggling and if I'm being snowed, that's on me. I'll sort this out later.

Then we have Tom. Now I can plot what he's doing but he's really taken a very lazy seat in this game and I can plot it out from a town perspective but it is significantly worse than yesterday, he's posted graphs and naked voted people and that's it. This may be because he got basically made fun of on Day 1 as town, instead of being mafia and phoning it in. He needs to improve.

There's also this post:
Which is, uh incredibly problematic. How this is problematic is best left up as an exercise to the reader.

We have Banana Spritzee who I don't really trust with his entrance, not going to lie. Bardiche was very very town, but Banana Spritzee is playing the AWOL card and not caring what's going on and I refuse to let that sort of behaviour fly, especially since that's also what he does as scum. It's nonsense. He's also got some weird balance of knowing what's going on but trying to pretend he doesn't care? It's hard to describe, call tomorrow.

Neither player has lost enough towncred to be a consideration for me right now. I will lynch Banana Spritzee cause if he doesn't play games I can be more than irritable regardless of how I feel about Bardiche. But let's move on, this is me complaining, either they do something or they won't and I'll complain regardless.

Yaersulf is someone I'm surprised isn't getting more attention right now and it's really adding to this strange state that Fabloo is talking about. Like, I'm not against it, cause Yaersulf's reaction to Fabloo's secret stuff is very townie and makes sense cause you don't get upset at a supposed cop claiming you yourself are guilty unless you're town, right? That's how that ended up. But that's just been accepted as kosher. And I guess I'll just use this as a thought about how scum don't really feel like taking initiative this game. It's a very out there read that involves a lot of the circumstances in this game but yeah. I don't think a mislynch is being pushed by scum, they're just letting town push other town and not even trying to open up other options. Whether that's sheeping other cases or just not having the thread presence, who knows. Maybe that might be a good observation for other people.

I don't feel like Serela is scum, but I can't exactly say Serela is town. If Polaris is assessing Serela's scum meta properly, well... meh. This is kind of a locked door for me and I really don't know how to judge him, and quite honestly I'm running out of scumreads, so he'll reside here until I think more about either Banana Spritzee or Tom.

We have Polaris, who I will leave in this category because this is the Polaris category. That is all.

And so that leaves a few people left. I feel like properly examining Daiya makes sense once everyone's given more than lipservice to him, so that'll wait. I have further comments on him that I need to nail down looking at him again though.

And I still don't know what to make of NucleusWaffles. It's not the "man this guy is weird" category. It's something else. When someone doesn't consider himself a town PR (assumedly cause he says he's weak, but how does he even have a judge of that? This is his first game!), when someone doesn't die on N1 - like say the mafia is dodging a doc. Zwerdjib's a pretty natural doc dodge for a multitude of reasons, but why wouldn't you hit the weakest town PR? If zwerdjib wasn't the tracker the night would've been questionable.

Every post he makes is word salad yes, but if you actually try and read his posts... nothing of consequence is really said. I don't need a summary of the game, I need thoughts on the game. Maybe that's just his thing. I have doubts.

This isn't even getting into the role part of him. That's something I don't want to push too much on my own for obvious reasons. But I have problems with that as well. If he's a flavourcop, why doesn't he just say what his results are? That's only one of the many questions that I'd like to ask but won't.
this was the reason i unvoted pol pol (rip). it made me consider want to try reconsidering his perceived lack of substance from a confused town angle, because i this gamestate really is about as strange as he says. i was stuck in analysis paralysis about it for a good while, but at the end of the day i don't think he shapes up as well as, say BBM or raik (yes, i believe that they are most likely town), who are probably just as confused, but still seem to have a more active scumhunting approach than him. however, with sb subbing in this isn't an avenue i want to go down anymore. need to prioritize other reads and approach his slot with a fresh mind next phase if it isn't my turn to die.

as for why this made me feel better about disq, my main issue with him was that he seemed a little too focused on me, tying into the reason i singled out pol/serela/disq in the first place. 

my line of thinking was that if d1's meow yaer wagons really were town/town as i suspect, then the failed vote attempts on me puts the scum team at an advantage, essentially setting up a low-hanging fruit to draw discussion and hide behind for the next phase, while also avoiding responsibility for settling on either of the wsgons. hence why i wanted to examine which pushes on me felt the least authentic. so seeing a more comprehensive read list from disq reminded me that "hey, he does care about other people".

ok now I need to uh, look harder at the fact that I have a wagon on me suddenly POLLY WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME WITH THIS MONSTER

Okay I did you a solid and tried to read the post. It's a bit wack, yeah, but it's consistent with their earlier vote on raikaria and the other members of their suspected scumteam. I can't say I truly hate it because that post just made me think the guy was insane town, or maybe third party at worst. Do you think this guy is being coached? I can't see it, personally, but there's also a method to his madness because his reads seem consistent. I think he actually believes in them and that doesn't feel like scum to me?

I do agree with your point on not noticing Daiya being weird, but I can also see it as "they decided to target Daiya, then forgot because Daiya didn't post much D2". I feel like it's a small thing to latch onto and the kinda "slip" that misses more often than it hits. If I'm wrong sorry but I don't see it atm.

The rest of the case feels more like "hey what if he did this" but if we're really basing cases around the scumteam asking townies for their asl idk what to say. What stops him from having this role regardless of alignment? Dormio is a fire trucking weird host dude. He gave Skypal a VT in a role madness game. Self-Reviving Serial Killer Lovers. I'm not brave enough to say "haha yeah this definitely couldn't exist" because I don't have the confidence in that at all.

If someone wants to tl;dr the case on Serela; since it's kinda scattered and I'm not too sure on it. A lot of it from what I've gathered is Serela being waffley which is normal for Serela.

I get the main Waffle wagon reasons, I'm one of the ones pushing it after all. But it's nearing consolidation time. Serela wagoners, I simply ask for you to convince me why I should vote Serela over Waffle. I've explained my Waffle case as much as I think I can in my prior posts, I can't really throw much else to convince you guys of that; but I think in general there should be some actual discussion both ways on the Serela wagon.

We are not lynching a claimed PR on D2. We have so much time on our side. If he's lying then it will catch up to him. So far the people who have wanted waffle have only focused on his claim and it's leaving a sour impression onto me. It's not that I am absolving him of all possible guilt. It's that if we lynch him and he happens to be the role he claims to be we've dug a further hole.

I've heard you say it to me in almost a really snooty way. Am I just going to give all PR claims a free pass? Absolutely not. I would love if scum continued to claim PRs because then they have to prove their results. It makes them liable. Tell me what Nucleus gains asserting his role this early as scum. What's the move here? He wasn't exactly a dominating presence and he wasn't even being pressured that hard. From what I remember Nucleus had about one vote. I'm starting to think the people who are on him are actually scum trying to validate getting rid of someone for shallow reasons.

Yeah meow was the biggest wagon and he was town too. He was also a newbie. I want to hear your other thoughts on other people.

The case on you (Serela) has been pretty scattered throughout. I just think you're being fake. I could try and put this together in a paragraph if you want but sb has done a decent job of doing so already.

The case on Nuclear, from what I can see, seems to revolve heavily around "he said he targeted Daiya, but then said he forgot about Daiya". In this case, his action (as town) would've done nothing, and Daiya was lowposting in a game that's moving pretty damn quickly. I think this is a plausible explanation.

Are there Nuclear votes that actually delve into why his content is scummy? I don't mean "difficult to parse", I want someone to tell me what the scum motive for his actions are because he's definitely messy and I don't feel comfortable with him, but I don't see a reason to consider him crazy scum instead of crazy town right now.

To make this clearer since I kinda forgot to conclude, the Daiya point isn't bad, but I'd never want to drive an entire lynch based on it.

Sister. Please heed my words.

Quote
We are not lynching a claimed PR on D2. We have so much time on our side. If he's lying then it will catch up to him. So far the people who have wanted waffle have only focused on his claim and it's leaving a sour impression onto me. It's not that I am absolving him of all possible guilt. It's that if we lynch him and he happens to be the role he claims to be we've dug a further hole.

I've heard you say it to me in almost a really snooty way. Am I just going to give all PR claims a free pass? Absolutely not. I would love if scum continued to claim PRs because then they have to prove their results. It makes them liable. Tell me what Nucleus gains asserting his role this early as scum. What's the move here? He wasn't exactly a dominating presence and he wasn't even being pressured that hard. From what I remember Nucleus had about one vote. I'm starting to think the people who are on him are actually scum trying to validate getting rid of someone for shallow reasons.

Post by: raikaria on April 20, 2020, 10:33:35 PM
Rai and Serela pick a different target or I will remove you from this game.

1: Why is this only directed at us and not PX/Yaersulf

2: I've just asked for people to convince me otherwise, particularly on the Serela wagon which is the secondary one. I am actively trying to look elsewhere at this point, aware that despite my efforts it seems not enough people think as badly of the circumstances [The lack of SENSE it makes; the situation he claimed in, and the fact he did so when pushing people for what he views as rolefishing] around Waffle's claim to lynch it.

If you want me to change my vote; convince me. I heavily base my lynches off chance the person is scum v risk to Town. I do not belive Waffle's claim however.

So you'll either need to convince me:

1: Waffle's claim is legitimate or at least is more likly to be legitimate than I think

2: Some other wagon has a higher chance of hitting scum.

I don't care if you're "tired" of hearing about the person I think is scum. I think they need to be lynched and currently a majority seems to agree!

4 votes is not a majority; Serela. As it stands a majority disagree.

Yeah meow was the biggest wagon and he was town too. He was also a newbie. I want to hear your other thoughts on other people.

The case on you (Serela) has been pretty scattered throughout. I just think you're being fake. I could try and put this together in a paragraph if you want but sb has done a decent job of doing so already.

My thoughts on Tom are that he is scummy for hyperlurking, bringing little to Town and the same reasons I brought up during Day 1 [Heavy OMGUS based voting, little~no effort to actually make cases; a few inconsistancies]

My opinion on Yaersulf has improved slightly during Day 2, but I still hold a weak scumread on him for Day 1 events that he's not fully shaken off.

I've pretty much changed my opinion from ED2 on Smartbomb/BBM based on events and posts since.

I have a slight suspicion of the Polaris/SB slot; that mostly comes from the Waffle case and the fact Waffle happily outed when asked by Polaris.

The case on Nuclear, from what I can see, seems to revolve heavily around "he said he targeted Daiya, but then said he forgot about Daiya". In this case, his action (as town) would've done nothing, and Daiya was lowposting in a game that's moving pretty damn quickly. I think this is a plausible explanation.

Are there Nuclear votes that actually delve into why his content is scummy? I don't mean "difficult to parse", I want someone to tell me what the scum motive for his actions are because he's definitely messy and I don't feel comfortable with him, but I don't see a reason to consider him crazy scum instead of crazy town right now.

My reason for voting Nuclear has more points than that; SB:

1: I think the circumstances around him claiming are incredibly suspicious; not just his claim of targeting Daiya. He claimed right after making a scumteam case that was largely rooted in people seeming to fish for Power Roles; when asked to fullclaim out of the blue by Polaris; at 2/7. This is very, very suspicious, and very very inconsistant with his Scumteam case. Surely Polaris outright asking for a fullclaim is far more 'Rolefishing' than anything in the exchange between me/BBM he says is rolefishing?

2: I think his 'case' on a Yaersulf/me/BBM scumteam is really desperate. Especially given Yaersulf/BBM are two people out of three I have actively tried to lynch and disagreed with. For this to be the case both my Mid Day 2 and Late Day 1 would have to be heavy bussing attempts. It indicates either he's just making up reads or flat-out not reading interactions.

3: There's the whole fact that targeting Daiya with his role N1 makes absolutely no sense. Not just from the 'he forgot he existed' perspective, but because pretty much no-one had expressed a particular townread on Daiya N1, and many were actually saying they'd vote him D2. This dosen't come across as a scumkill target; meaning:

a - Waffles is telling the truth and just chose perhaps the worst possible target to backup; and then forgot said pllayer existed D2
b - Waffles did target Daiya; but with some other role. This supports him claiming he knows Daiya is highly likly a PR. [By the way; why is he even giving out this info when he's accusing me/BBM of rolefishing?]
c - Is outright lying

As you can see, my scumread on Waffles comes from more than simply his targeting of Daiya. It's the combination of 1,2 and 3 which is making my 'fakeclaim' and 'scumclaim' alarms wail like mad.

Post by: Fabloo on April 20, 2020, 10:39:48 PM
I'm pretty sure Nucleus' intention was not to see who to backup rather what would happen if they did so. His early D1 claims were that he was looking for specific individuals and could only target them based on gender. He also asked for claims in that same department.

Do you really think that a brand new player as scum devises all this by D1? Let's not forget if we're under the assumption of some form of coaching that his posting would be as chaotic as they are already.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Two)
Post by: BigBangMeteor on April 20, 2020, 10:42:14 PM
I actually think Nucleus's role works better as like, a soft protective role now that it's outed, if he's town. If he's scum then they have to either avoid killing outed roles or Nucleus will be outed bc he won't be able to fake it. also, the scummiest thing about nucleus is that it felt like he was coasting. i no longer feel like this is the case even if i don't agree with the points he's making. like fabloo said, i'm skeptical of his ability to devise the case as scum.

Nucleus I know you don't think I'm town but please target NNR or at least tell us a couple people who you're thinking of targeting so we can tell you not to target people who are obviously not going to be nightkilled like Daiya ;_;

And I am of the opinion that this whole gender thing is pointless and a diversion. Having in-game stuff based on role fluff seems... really silly.

And as I said before; my one hangup is the fact that Waffle's case and claim are so bad it makes me think 'does he have anyone in his ear?'

But I need to be convinced that someone else is a better lynch. For example; I need to see an actual case on Serela to convince me of that, because I myself haven't seen anything glareing bad with Serela. And I'm highly reluctant to switch to Tom/Yasulf because they're not wagons atm.

Raikaria can you expand on your feelings about Daiya? This is basically all you've said about him on D2 outside of Nucleus's decision to target him N1, which is more about nucleus than daiya.

I'm also not particually fond of the Daiya wagon. Daiya hasn't been the most active player, but I've townread most of what they've said comparatively more than I've townread most other low-activity players. And this includes PX who is a claimed mason.

I really don't have too much to say on Daiya because Daiya themselves hasn't been saying too much.

I did kind of like what content they posted during Day 1, but Day 2 is extremely content-light and basically boils down to 'I like Smartbomb' and 'I'm new too'.

So I would say my slightly positive read on Daiya has deteriorated over Day 2.

if Serela flips red I'm voting Raikara immediately after.

If he flips green then I'll have to rethink these events.

I'm actively asking for people to summarize the case on Serela and to try and convince me that Serela has a higher chance of flipping scum than Waffles...

How does this make me red if Serela is red? I'm open to the idea of lynching Serela; I just want the case elaborated on and for people to actually try and convince me that Serela is a better lynch than Waffles is.

So the case is also that they have a weird case on you/BBM/Yaersulf? That case actually made me like him more because like... it's not solid by any means, but he was pushing it consistently and it seems too bizarre for scum to concoct. It feels like he actually has belief in his case which I wouldn't expect to find from scum. I could definitely see him as crazy third party, but I think that if he planned to claim ever (he wasn't under pressure) he surely would've talked to his scumteam about it first? Where is the scum benefit in claiming to have targeted Daiya? We had a pseudo-tracker flip already and I believe masons had claimed by that time, I don't see why he would just... not talk to his buddies and pick out a target that makes more sense.

@rai, on Serela:

I think Serela is scum because his pushes haven't felt solid to me. They've felt like gut-jerk reactions to recent events (at the time of making the vote) which makes him feel aimless to me, like he doesn't really care about his suspicions. Last game, Serela tried really hard even when the gamestate frankly sucked and I'm not feeling that same kind of commitment or want to find the scumteam here. It also doesn't help that Zwerd was effectively the only one suspecting Serela to my knowledge, and he got bopped N1 instead of the claimed Masons, or even BBM.

There isn't a big slam-dunk post to latch onto, he just doesn't feel like town.

It's also the timing of his claim.

Waffles makes a case with the point of 'Rolefishing'

Polaris asks for him to claim at 2/7

He does so with no resistance.

Do you see the problem here? It is the definition of inconsistency.

Is there something in particular which makes the pushes seem not solid? If you could highlight an example or two? Because as I said; I've not picked this up.

I really don't like bringing up meta.

I did bring up that Zwejd suspected Serela a bit earlier when I was looking for people who might have a motive for killing him, if I recall. That is my main thing I have on Serela, but it's not so large right now I was thinking of heavily pushing it, I wanted to see what happened N2 before really pushing on that.

Mmm. So my read on that situation was that Bard felt attacked as a person rather than as a player and that's why he was so upset, and that part doesn't have anything to do with alignment. Ymmv though.

I will vote Serela if people actually convince me it is the better option, or it becomes absolutely clear that Waffles will not be lynched, because I would consider No Lynch a worse option than lynching Serela.

I am willing to lynch Serela, but honestly I'm a little unsure on the wagon due to the general lack of caseing on Serela; Fabloo's aggression towards me and Serela; and this sudden unexplained 'If Serela flips red Raikaria is red'; which people aren't elaborateing on even when I ask.

I mean, how is it going to convince me to vote Serela when you say 'If Serela is scum Raikaria gets lynched next'. That's a lose/lose for me.

fabloo, i am still confused. you are saying that nucleus is town, but you are also voting nucleus?

this was supposed to be a softball question, why are you making this so complicated :(
Force of habit. I was hoping you'd take away more of the things I was saying though.

##Unvote
##Unvote
##Vote Fabloo


WHY IS EVERYONE EMPTY UNVOTING
YOU DON'T EVEN NEED A GOOD REASON TO VOTE PEOPLE RIGHT NOW

Okay, so this is a string of posts from page 4. For context, Fabloo applies some pressure to a player and then starts to talk about townreading them (or at least, feeling better about them, I'm not grabbing all the quotes here). Polly asks Fabloo "hey, why are you still voting this person", to which Fabloo does a pretty reasonable thing and unvotes, without changing their vote because they don't have another player to pursue yet.

Serela votes for them in his very next post, ignoring all of the context around it. It's so short-sighted, and the sudden flip on Nucleus felt very similar to me. It feels like Serela isn't paying attention to the bigger picture and instead get fixated on what's right in front of them.

So yeah, there's this. And also I don't think the *meta* point on Serela is entirely meta, it's kind of just a scummy thing on its own made worse when placed in contrast with the previous game.

Also seriously it's 00:40 now. I'm going to do my teeth ect and come back. If there's not actually anything to convince me Serela is the better lynch I'm going to bed on Waffles because I still think he is the better lynch.

Not threats to change vote or die that ignore other people not voting Serela. Not people seemingly trying to convince me to lynch Serela by saying 'if he flips red you're next'. An actual case. Try and actually convince people of your lynch. That's how you lynch people.

I cannot in good conciousness lynch Serela when I don't see anything majorly scummy, and the people pushing the wagon can't even really explain it.

So what’s wrong with Fabloo’s aggressive behaviour, Rai?

What happens if Serela flips town? If you’re on the wagon and Serela flips town, you’re fine, right?

Sorry im just trying to unravel the logic of “if Serela flips scum, I’m next, so I don’t want to vote” and I can’t get over you avoiding a lynch so you want people to convince you that Serela is scum. It’s not the most genuine interpretation I could have.

But yeah @Disquieted, I probably shouldn't have placed TBZ in the same tier as Serela or rai. I do think their non-posting is a bad look and it feels like a good fit for the gamestate, since I don't feel like scum were particularly involved in most arguments or fights this game? Also even when TBZ was mostly absent in past games as town I felt like he at least had gut reads he'd feel fine with stating, but his ISO is like, barren. It's weird.

Post by: NekoNekoRex on April 20, 2020, 11:48:03 PM
Vote Serela because the Waffle case hinges on a poorly explained power role that isn't really scummy more than extremely poorly explained and possibly poorly understood by the player themselves.

Vote Serela because I don't like their reactions to posts, their mindset seems to be geared towards pushing players to vote with them rather than actually hunt scum.

Vote Serela because the Zwerd nightkill was painfully only beneficial to Serela

Same except I should move him down a lot more. Sounds like you want to move him up cause of being unsure.

You killed him once cause he started to tunnel you. Who would want to kill him in this game?  I feel like I should expect that from his town game.

I think that rai's turn on Nucleus with so much conviction looks scummy when they had a light townread on them before. I guess it's also like, I would expect town to feel kind of lost in this gamestate but rai doesn't really feel lost, it feels like he's secure in his cases and also I was kinda bothered by "can someone explain the Serela cases to me" when I voted Serela! With words! And they were mostly ignored and he seems to focus in on one part of the case he doesn't like and doesn't really handle the rest much.

The town, probably.

This isn't just from a sample size of one game, it's also from other games on smogon where he lurked out of D1 and just had like, three scumreads he posted and didn't really do anything with, but it felt different.

This is definitely not solid which is why I'd bump him up a little, but yeah.

I personally can't get over rai avoiding the wagon because if it flips scum he's the next one to get lynched.

Ignore the fact that was said by a claimed mason, so there's no scum manipulation involved.

Like maybe this is me not bothering to be forgiving to Rai right now  and it's a really unfair representation I'm sure. But it makes me tilt my head.

I think it would be more genuine if rai was adamant about refusing to budge instead of saying "convince me" while ignoring the whole thing against serela
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Two)
Post by: raikaria on April 20, 2020, 11:57:08 PM
So what’s wrong with Fabloo’s aggressive behaviour, Rai?

What happens if Serela flips town? If you’re on the wagon and Serela flips town, you’re fine, right?

Sorry im just trying to unravel the logic of “if Serela flips scum, I’m next, so I don’t want to vote” and I can’t get over you avoiding a lynch so you want people to convince you that Serela is scum. It’s not the most genuine interpretation I could have.

If Serela flips town then I'm likly going after Fabloo tomorrow for his highly aggressive behaviour in getting that mislynch.

If Serela flips red and I helped lynch it [Because they seem to want me to help lynch Serela still despite making these threats?]; great! Except Fabloo and SB have both stated they intend to lynch me [who's Town] if Serela flips red, and have both not explained why this is their intention when I have asked them.

There's also the fact the 'switch vote or die' thing was specificaly directed at me and Serela [Why would Serela switch from his counterwagon anyway btw; this threat was dumb] but ignored PX/Yaersulf. Which I've pointed out. And Fabloo has not responded to.

Well I would probably vote serela over nucleus since these seem to be the options for today, depending on serela's claim.

Im a bit unsure of what exactly youre looking for raikaria. People have posted the cases?

And the cases are very wishy-washy and seem to be based on 'Serela is reacting to what's happening now'. I don't see anything inherently scummy about reacting to recent developments?

I've spent the last few hours asking people to give me their cases and that's the best response I've gotten. It's really not very convincing. The best reason I've been given is one I've already acknowledged in that Zeep suspected Serela then died. But that could just as easily be a scum gambit to set up a Serela lynch.

I think that rai's turn on Nucleus with so much conviction looks scummy when they had a light townread on them before. I guess it's also like, I would expect town to feel kind of lost in this gamestate but rai doesn't really feel lost, it feels like he's secure in his cases and also I was kinda bothered by "can someone explain the Serela cases to me" when I voted Serela! With words! And they were mostly ignored and he seems to focus in on one part of the case he doesn't like and doesn't really handle the rest much.

Again, Nucleus's bad posts made up a significant amount of his overall content and I feel they were really; really bad.

I'm aware you voted Serela with words. Voting with words is such a rare thing right now it seems. But the case you made wasn't very convincing to me. I was asking for more; and for the other Serela voters to explain their stances more.

If you are that adamant about it Sister, then We shall relent for now and give them more time to out themselves. We still don't feel good about Serela being a part of our faction, so Our vote shall move there

##Unvote
##Vote Serela


Remember that third condition I stated?

1: I will chance vote if someone can convince me Serela has a good chance of flipping scum

2: I will change vote if people can change my mind on Waffles

and 3: I will change vote to avoid a NL if a Waffles vote becomes untenable and unrealistic.

PX's flip has made 3 be fufilled.

I do this reluctantly; and as much as I loathe setting up lynched the day before; if Serela flips Green, I'm coming for you Fabloo, Mason claim or not. Your stance and methords of trying to make people votechange is frankly completely unacceptable in my eyes and if this is a mislynch you are like 90% Red in my eyes.

##Unvote
##Vote: Serela


I think it would be more genuine if rai was adamant about refusing to budge instead of saying "convince me" while ignoring the whole thing against serela

I'm not refusing to budge. I'm asking for the people pushing the wagon to actually make a case that's better than 'Serela's focusing on current events a lot' which isn't inherently scummy to me and certainly isn't worse than Waffle's claim in my eyes.

I'm Town. My wincon is to lynch the scum. To do that I should lynch whoever I feel is scummiest. I simply do not think Serela is as scummy as Waffles. I fail to see how this is difficult to understand.

The rest of the case feels more like "hey what if he did this" but if we're really basing cases around the scumteam asking townies for their asl idk what to say. What stops him from having this role regardless of alignment? Dormio is a fire trucking weird host dude. He gave Skypal a VT in a role madness game. Self-Reviving Serial Killer Lovers. I'm not brave enough to say "haha yeah this definitely couldn't exist" because I don't have the confidence in that at all.
ok, i was starting to wonder why our claimed power roles are "game-altering masons with nighttalk" and "gender-specific targeting universal backup", while zeep flips "tracker". god this game's a headache.

i can't believe i'm not voting for someone so blatantly anti-town, but i legitimately can't see waffle's bs happening from a scum perspective. he put his life on the line with a dubious af claim in order to make a bunch of unconvincing scum reads that no one followed up on? i have trouble imagining what kind of scum team would allow this strawberries. the reasoning for his game-solving scumreads is definitely bad, but that's exactly what it seems like to me. bad, not scummy. his reasoning for targeting me is also bad, but it's an action that i could reasonably see waffles taking. won't be confirming or denying his theory that i'm a pr. you get the idea.

i'm ok with a serela lynch. light defended him earlier, so i do feel bad about switching. his logic for pushing me checks out, but it gets overshadowed by the fact that he hasn't really changed much. the most i've seen him do is case me and defend himself.

cut by serela's claim, but i figure i should post this anyway. obviously need to reevaluate.

I don't know what I'm saying either but my point is that Nucleus claimed backup first and then Serela hounded him for claiming backup.

It's not like they both independently decided to claim backup ignoring each other.

I don't know what I should do and who to trust.

Please give me some time to think. And read.

Just now I have been cut many times and lurkers have all come out online. This is very exciting and makes almost no sense to me.

I want to fullclaim, but I cannot until I succesfully back up someone, through them dying through a nightkill.
Then, I can safely fullclaim

I don't mind targeting NNR if this clears my doubt, but I cannot then, safely fullclaim.

I can only hope this message can get through clearly amidst all the tension.
We are all here, there's an hour and plenty of time.

I don't understand the Serela counterclaim, I need to actually think this out, but its quite hard to think under all this pressure

Nucleus has

- Crumbed his role D1. Talked about the mechanics specifying them. Wanted others to out their gender in order to help facilitate his role.
- Outed his role without no preemptive pressure and maybe like one vote on him. Claimed a role that likely a newbie wouldn't know about. Has alluded to restrictions and mechanics that clearly affect the game

Meanwhile Serela has

- Counterclaimed last minute, said he's pretty much the same but no restrictions.

Do we seriously believe Serela now? Seriously?

Changed my mind. You guys will shout down either one and it's best we rip the bandaid off. This is a counter-claim situation. We have scum either way and it will show who didn't wanna vote who. This is perfect.

Actually it is an important point that Nucleus was the first to bring up gender as a mechanic in the game, which was later confirmed by PX/Fabloo. So Nucleus definitely has some kind of power role, that's basically confirmed.

Wtf no serela's claim is way townier than nucleus.

Serela's immediate vote reads very much like someone trying to get someone lynched without having to CC. Nucleus's role with all the restrictions reads much more like a third party role. Backup is not traditionally a role with these restrictions.

Fabloo if you have some role reason related to your specific role that you think serela is lying then say that (you don't have to say why) and I'll lynch serela. But purely off the claims and the timing, serela's CC looks legit.

If serela is legit we're lynching our second tracker lol. Whereas if nucleus is legit we're lynching some iffy backup thing with restrictions that at best can backup our protective role but probably will achieve nothing.

Unless you guys think we have two town backups (nobody really seems to think this) were lynching in the 1v1 and we're lynching this slot. A third party role is much more likely to have weird flavour restrictions than a random town role.

Fabloo, your role is not random, clearly it's some sort of centerpiece. I don't see why a backup should be a centerpiece role.

I see the persons whom I suspect as scum hard-defending me, and some townreaded players whom I trusted are now seriously being flaky.

Let's step aside from the rolegaming for a second.

Who do we actually most heavily scumread, which, as the defendent, I have little ability to decipher.

I continue to heavily scumread Raikaria, based on how quickly he retreated from this firefight once the war is started.

I can do a Serela vote, off the impossibility of the counterclaimed role, its not a town move because he would otherwise be a Tracker now, which he should have otherwise defended all his life because he can hard confirm comes N2 on someone's results.

However, I think one significant possibility is the setup can be designed specifically to confuse role-gaming by introducing complex flavours and simple flavours.

In addition, scum can and may be driving the game as a duo from Fabloo/PX. I think Fabloo has a very strong voice that is driving the wagon, and Disquieted has given up on thinking, we really should take a breather and read the firefight from a non-role angle.

The claims have already been out sufficiently, as far as I can agree on, but I think the directions of the firefight are important.

 I still have not been convinced entirely we can break this game based on role-gaming alone, on D2, with only 1 flip.

This is an over-optimistic angle which is scum driven to rolefish because only scum has the hard confirmations which they must know my crumb is valid. I believe some of the claims, which may include that from Serela, Fabloo, Yaesulf, and the yet-unknown nongender player must be scum

i think nucleus's post is a non-town reaction. town in a 1v1 knows that the other slot is scum and has no compunctions of "if this slot is town...". delaying the 1v1 from coming to its conclusion is a desperate survival gambit because nucleus knows that if serela is lynched, he gets lynched next.

serela's nucleus progression going from a "probably town" read to an immediate vote and hard scumpush reads like town trying to get a false claim lynched. At hte point of serela's voteswitch, there was no real reason for serela to set up a future 1v1 with him and nucleus. Nucleus had 2 votes against him and serela had 1 and both Daiya and smartbomb had more votes against than Serela as well.

whichever of serela or nucleus you want to lynch, I strongly suggest you dont do it based off flavour. obviously either way either nucleus is lying or serela is lying and one of them was given a male as a character fake (poor decision by dormio imo cuz it pushes a likely 1v1 but whatever)

I can't say because I am a harem protagnoist who must visit a female each night.

I backup whoever dies allowing me to choose a new target, I fail and die if my target is non-town or male.

I lose my weak condition upon any one of my previously targeted females die, and I gain their powers.

Its a weak and useless role I must carefully tread, so after reading all the available materials this was the best way I could make use of it.

That's literally everything. I am now banking on Serela being actually male, so I am now risk-free unless I hit scum with my ability.

all third parties are harmful unless they explicitly cant scumside lol and you shouldnt trust them if they say that anyways. also harmless third party nucleus just claims he's a third party anyways. as a new player he probably wouldn't realize that harmless third party claims are likely to get lynched on principle

As tempting as turboing Banana is, we should finish off the third party in case his super harem powers actually allow him to kill someone and he's just some dumbass SK variant that fire trucked up. He's pretty clearly not town.

I didn't think too hard over the night. I did however think that this game might just be the scum not playing and the town accusing each other. Again.

Oh this started.

Let's talk about the votecount. Of the people off wagon, you have:

- Serela doing Serela things
- Disquieted doing Disquieted things and specifically wanted Nucleus lynched anyways
- raikaria, who wanted Nucleus lynched in the first place and had to be bullied on Serela
- Two idlers

I have no doubts the game is not this easy especially since Bardiche was specifically annoyed because Nucleus was being slightly rude to him and you probably aren't that offended with your partner in that way. But this wagon formation is pretty much an incredible goldmine on all ends even if there was a busser, so we should examine this a bit more.

@ work.

Post by: Disquieted on April 22, 2020, 01:38:15 AM
There is also a distinct possibility that given Nucleus's slip that PX first picked up that Nucleus genuinely targeted Daiya N1 and didn't lie about it. Since Nucleus is a rolecop, I want to table Daiya for a bit.

This may be wrong, but Daiya did ~fine yesterday anyways.

I did it, I caught my first scum! \o/

During the night I scimmed through D2 and took some notes on some of the stuff that happened early D2. Disclaimer I was mostly looking at stuff to do with Nucleus and also my priorities for what's important might be skewed by my newbishness. In the order they happened in the thread:

-Polaris was the first to point at Serela D2

-Nucleus defended Tom

-Disquieted voted Nucleus early (looks good for him)

-Tom was happy to pressure Serela with a vote

-In Nucleus reads thing he talked up BBM's towniness but later in the thread called him scum

-I made some notes here about how he seemed to be giving weird reasons why NNR isn't scum but, well :V

-Polaris refused to read Nucleus' posts, not sure how incriminating this is

-Nucleus claimed Serela is the "prime wagon" when that wasn't really true

-Nucleus' scumteam was BBM/Raikaria/Yaersulf

-Nucleus defended Tom again

-Nucleus pointed fingers at Disquieted

-Serela was rightfully confused

-Polaris claimed to believe Nucleus' claim, not long after Nucleus partially claimed prompted by Polaris

-Nucleus for some reason says there is "no immediate need to further pursue Daiya (I think and hope this remains true)."

-Tom reads enough of the thread assumedly to know that Polaris is dropping out, and posts as admin, but somehow still manages to lurk.

-Nucleus says Daiya is a townread

Also here's this for your viewing pleasure.

Okay, player impressions.
---
Serela (3): Polaris, BigBangMeteor, Tom
^Leaves hardly an impression

Disquieted (1): NekoNekoRex
^Liked his logic and powerful intuition

NekoNekoRex (1): Disquieted
^Too emotional to be scum

banana spritzee (1): Yaersulf
^Leaves hardly an impression

NucleusWaffles (0):
^Paranoid, I did my fair share of reading in Ys lore and mafia meta

Polaris (0):
^Active and quick to switch votes

Tom (0):
^Data man, does not vote easily

Fabloo (0):
^I don't like his attitude. I read him as third party survivor lovers team in a 15P game, but he seemed glad to pick up on the masons claim and roll with it.

I don't mind his powers which are benign now, but both PX and Fabloo I want lynched before MyLo 

raikaria (0):
^Has a medical job which is very ethical, probably a good lynch just for the sake of his mental wellbeing

Yaersulf (0):
^All actions with abstract train of thought, I would vote

BigBangMeteor (0):
^Highly respected by Disquieted, also produces well articulated walls and very likable.
Was also in old MoTK games, buddying with Disquieted

Daiya (0):
^I forgot about him as of typing this sentence

PX (0):
^Team with Fabloo, power lurker who definitely seems less honest and upfront, how active are you in the 'masons' chat? Fabloo, really you should consider if PX is shaping your opinions. Of course, the argument wouldn't apply if both of you 'are' survivors

I just realised, if Nucleus was scum, and his theoretical scumteam that he presented had three people, scum is likely to have been three people and is now down to two.

Nobody could almost swing a lynch away from a 1v1 like serela did last night

Serela, results?

Inclined to think that Daiya probably was the actual target of the rolecop.

I don't really understand the Tom lynch in terms of interactions to nucleus? Is it just cuz nucleus defended him?

Every night I put off reading the thread in hopes that scum kills me and I don't have to and every night I am disappointed. Need to reread nucleus and his read on everyone/their reads on him. The shift to the hard push on me/raikaria was pretty weird.

as much as i'd hate to ruin my perfect clear, are we sure that waffles didn't just cop serela? it's odd that he happened to claim universal backup of all things, so i'm tempted to believe that the whole point of his gambit was to draw out a counter-claim. other thing is that the push he made from that was never really followed up by anyone. it still ended up being serela v waffles.

Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Three)
Post by: BigBangMeteor on April 22, 2020, 02:31:48 AM
tbh I'm looking at the playerlist and it almost feels like Tom has to be scum by PoE. I kind of get the sense that this scumteam isn't very experienced so all my strawberries about player balance between the teams may be wrong!!! The "Weak" part of Nucleus's claim just seems like something that a more experienced player would have steered him away from. A pseudo-cop was never gonna exist with masons and a tracker.

I don't feel like Polaris/SB can be buddies with Nucleus here. Firstly, Polaris was the one who told Nucleus to claim in the first place and I have to feel that Polaris would have better prepped him if they were buddies. Plus, SB was one of the main voices making sure Nucleus was the lynch after Serela officially CCed. It could be a hard bus I guess but just seems very unnecessary? Also I can't imagine scum deliberately hardbussing their rolecop on D2 when they still don't know who the protective role is.

wondering if smartbomb would refuge in audacity not vote nucleus on a lynch he had to know was like 90% likely to go through.

need to examine interactions closely but I'm thinking Tom/banana > raikaria/smartbomb > daiya/yaersulf.

also, interesting note. our non-gendered player seems to have become a female.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Three)
Post by: Disquieted on April 22, 2020, 02:33:40 AM
If Waffles copped Serela, why would he claim?

You say to draw out the counterclaim, but by your logic, they already know the universal backup. They don't need to cop him and then claim backup to get info they already knew.

but if they had copped serela why would they need to draw out a CC? they would have just killed him n2. by drawing out the CC they actually made it harder to kill him because otherwise the protective role wouldnt know who to target.

The way I see it, Nucleus was intelligent and came up with a claim all by himself. He pushed it through or didn't tell his friends, and he just ran with it. It just also happened to be Serela's role.

As far as I can tell it was such a good claim flavourwise that Fabloo fell for it, so.

Post by: Yaersulf on April 22, 2020, 03:04:22 AM
Alright, so I've figured out the best way to survive day one is to just lurk since without data everything is meaningless.  Everyone who's said a lot of things has gotten votes and those who've said the least have not.  I should have figured this out sooner and shut up but I wanted to be active considering this is my first game.

##Unvote
##Vote: Fabloo
Nothing against you mate, I'm just joining your wagon like Nucleus suggested so I can at least get to the next stage where we can actually start finding who's scum using our power roles, and its pointless to claim doc, vig or cop since mafia will just nightkill you first and put everyone at a disadvantage.

In response to Polaris' reply its day freaking one, you're right I don't care about scumhunting without data since as its just speculation.  I'd rather base any claims I made on real data like our power roles findings, who the night kill was and votes.  I should have just shut up and lurked as saying anything just makes everyone attack you

Tom, are you perchance better with numbers or graphs?

Noting your technological proficiency perhaps you can leverage a strong argument using online times and posting frequencies.

Words are frustrating, don't lose faith.

Indeed I only like to make strong claims backed by evidence such as numbers, and especially power role information.
But its too early since we have no data, post frequencies are circumstantial as people do other things than play mafia.  Which is why I'm just counterattacking whoever attacks me in case they slip up and do something outright scummy.  Anyways I'm not going to dig my own grave anymore and will just lurk for the remainder of the day, if I make it great you'll have someone who will analyze the votes and try to find correlations on your side, if I don't well I've learned the MotK Meta for next time.

EoD yesterday was so insanely wild, I got roped into the 'harmless third party fabloo" as he claimed ridiciulous things like Weak and I'm always weak to turbowagons, oops. I do still want to lynch Banana tho', and Tom too. Tom's at least new but he's done like... absolutely nothing other than provide charts with no analysis of their data and drop votes since d2 started. Banana's also done almost literally nothing since replacing in beyond drop votes and promise reads that never happens, and Banana ISN'T on their first mafia game, so this is ridiculously lurkscummy.

##Vote Banana Spritzee

With scum fully aware of a tracker, I tried to target not the obvscum, but the possibly 'townier' scum who might be doing a nightkill in their place. So, I went after Raikaria, assuming scumteam probably isn't a mix of banana/tom/waffle/daiya because that just sounds like a bad hosting idea? And I don't think NNR(rip)/BBM/SB/Disquieted are super likely to be scum. Then again, that's every veteran player other than Rai and masons, so that could be wrong @_@

But predictably for me not turning up dead, I was roleblocked :C

I used a role action. trying to stay purposely vague at least until we can eliminate another town role possibly interfering.

possibilities:
1) the scum roleblocker has a second part to their role that allows them to bypass my role (seems lame)
2) scum used multiple roles to both roleblock you and bypass my role (seems unlikely and also I feel like they wouldn't know that they had to even do that)
3) raikaria is an ascetic or there is a town safeguard who targeted raikaria (if so they should also claim)
4) you're scum, probably the third party

Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Three)
Post by: BigBangMeteor on April 22, 2020, 04:52:06 AM
I remember thinking it was weird that none of us noticed until like halfway through D2 that the gender count didnt add up to the number of players alive. Impossible to know now and probably also nothing for us to do anyways but I wonder if they started off female and only became non-gendered partway through the day or something. Also possible we're all just blind.

I was rereading nucleus before I got distracted by this serela stuff and god I have no idea. the nucleus/bard interactions are very weird. if bard hadnt subbed out I could see it being a newbscum player talking to his more experienced buddy. nucleus/tom feels like a super obvious link with nucleus hard defending him for so long. idk.

as a side note i relaly dislike banana's posts cuz they're all like "i think X but since i'm way behind who knows maybe I'm wrong" and it just feels like every statement he makes comes with some kind of qualifier.

tbh when serela first claimed he was hooked I was like 99% sure he was the third but now I'm starting to doubt it and am thinking of all these random scum role permutations. i'm also wondering if this is an NOC manhunt game. feels kinda weird for the scum rolecop to have like 2 extra redacted abilities.

If you guys could have seen my face when I woke up Yesterday and saw after all the effort some players put into forceing my vote over to Serela; you ended up lynching Waffles anyway and I was right he was the scum.

Anyway I got to go to work in a short while [different shifts this week]. This is honestly mostly a prod dodge.

As for those who are voting me due to Nucleus' behavior all I have to say is I never defended them back

You were also MIA for like 95% of Day 2

With scum fully aware of a tracker, I tried to target not the obvscum, but the possibly 'townier' scum who might be doing a nightkill in their place. So, I went after Raikaria, assuming scumteam probably isn't a mix of banana/tom/waffle/daiya because that just sounds like a bad hosting idea? And I don't think NNR(rip)/BBM/SB/Disquieted are super likely to be scum. Then again, that's every veteran player other than Rai and masons, so that could be wrong @_@

But predictably for me not turning up dead, I was roleblocked :C

Wait; so after I hard pushed the Waffle wagon and had to be threatened and bullied off to switch to you, you class me as 'townie scum' and track me? I ultimately only switched because PX switched and I thought the Waffle Wagon was impossible. I

What is with this game and people claiming PR's and then claiming a nonsensical target? In what world is there a Waffle/Raikaria scumteam after D2?

Raikaria should claim whether he's an ascetic. but you weren't roleblocked last night barring some role fire truckery.

I am not an ascetic. I do not even know what that does.

Anyway, I'm not going to vote right now because I don't have time to re-read; but just gonna throw out some quick thoughts:

Tom - Still heavily suspect him, mostly due to not really contributing anything.

Polaris/SB - Waffles flipping scum makes Waffles obeying their request to fullclaim [which I thought was very suspicious] look really bad for SB's slot. SB was also one of the ones really trying to get me to lynch Serela.

Fabloo - ED2 behavior towards lynching Serela puts him in a bad light. In fact, the lack of giving me an actual reason/case when asked; perhaps it was more 'don't lynch Waffles'. In fact; his attitude was quite heavily 'We are not lynching a claimed power role D2'. AKA: 'We are not lynching Waffles'. Who flipped Red. If we'd lynched Serela and he'd flipped Green I'd be lynching him right now, but he didn ultimately swap to Waffles and Waffles flipped Red.

Yaersulf - He was on Waffles almost as long as me. Kinda makes me think he could be Town now, barring a major bus.

This is an irritating day cause Tom is probably the right lynch and is highly likely to be scum. I just don't know what happens after that.

The role clash doesn't help either cause Serela lying is slightly strange in this position. I also don't know what a reasonable answer to this interaction is that doesn't involve one person lying.

Sorry but you're going to have to explain this one, these words mean nothing to me.

A manhunt game is a game with multiple third parties (eg a cult and a serial killer, or two SKs) as opposed to having a traditional mafia team. Such games are usually OC (Outside Contact), as in all players are allowed to talk and coordinate privately outside the thread by default, because catching third parties without role use is pretty hard since it's much easier for them to fake being town and they have no interactions to tie them to other scum. But I was speculating whether this game was an NOC (No Outside Contact) manhunt game because of the parts to nucleus's role that were hidden. But smartbomb's explanation that those were just the nightkill and scum chat are probably more likely. I forgot that motk likes putting those in the role PM. Although I'm not sure why the nightkill needs to be redacted.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Three)
Post by: sb on April 22, 2020, 12:41:48 PM
Okay. I read Nucleus' ISO.

##Vote: Tom

There's a lot of small buddying there and letting Tom off for not solid reasons. I tried the same for TBZ (Bard) and their engagements there at least looked a little more genuine. I think there's definite scum between the two slots but I'm not sure if it's both. I do kinda think that one scum bussed Nucleus, but finding the busser comes second to finding the off-wagon scum.

@BBM it was probably redacted if it includes scumteam info (like you are scum with X and Y and share a kill).
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Three)
Post by: sb on April 22, 2020, 12:42:48 PM
I think the third ability Nucleus had though was probably not a factional thing and actually related to their role. It looks weird to drop rolecop just in the middle of two factional abilities imo.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Three)
Post by: sb on April 22, 2020, 12:47:01 PM
An alternative would be Disquieted as scum number three, but I feel like small things don't add up there.

Also wrt rolespec: I don't think scum would rand a Safeguard onto raikaria, when they could just be using it to kill a Mason, instead of NNR who was probably more lynchable today than yesterday? At least more than the masons.

Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Three)
Post by: BigBangMeteor on April 22, 2020, 12:51:13 PM
It's frustrating because I don't really want to claim fully because it will give scum info I don't really want to give them at the moment. I kind of feel like there's some other chicanery going on but also I'll feel really silly if my dumb role actually caught scum and I let it pass.

I targeted Serela with a Voyeur ability on N2. He wasn't targeted by any other role actions. So either we have a Ninja Roleblocker or a Roleblocker + Sneak or raikaria is lying or serela is lying.

It's fairly likely that scum do have some sort of Ninja/Sneak ability given Tracker and the possibility for Tracker to be backed up. But I would expect that to be attached to the nightkill, not the Roleblocker. Given motk meta is generally that scum cannot use their regular role and nightkill on the same night, it feels pretty weird for them to have used it to dodge a watcher/voyeur on serela when to their knowledge they wouldn't know to be afraid of anything except serela.

I don't think Ninja Roleblocker would be too weird, but neither would scum Ascetic raikaria.

I'm ngl I read zwerds role properly for the first time just now and only just now realized he doesn't even see who they visited. That's pretty strawberriesty lol. I still feel like it should say "your target didn't visit anybody" as opposed to just failing.

I just feel like scum ascetic raikaria claims town ascetic. Dunno. We can try the same thing again tonight to see if it was a one-shot ability for scum but now that I've claimed I'll probably get NKed gg.

Anyways bbl work

Post by: Disquieted on April 22, 2020, 02:00:12 PM
Considering that scum haven’t killed either mason or the universal backup -> tracker (reporter?! i noticed it didn’t specifically say zwerdjib would get results of who he’d visited earlier but I assumed that was a host mistake cause who puts a reporter in a game) you may have your work cut out for you yet, BBM.

Ugh this game is stupid. Maybe sb’s on the right track and serela misread his result as a “target didn’t go anywhere”? Other than that I can actually squint and consider a world where a ninja roleblocker goes out. Or not. fire truck lol this game took time to make.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Three)
Post by: Serela on April 22, 2020, 02:15:27 PM
MY BRAIN hello I just woke up.

No my result definitely was not just that Raikaria didn't go anywhere. Man, this role wouldn't be very good if you couldn't tell the difference between "went nowhere" and "failed". Well, I guess it would be, you can still catch people in lies pretty easily if they claim "doesn't go places" roles.

I actually think I kind of like this variant of watcher/tracker? It takes down the level of "GOT'CHA!" while still providing potentially pretty significant information. After hosting a couple games my favored setup to make became "role madness, but also most of the roles are very low power". Hmm. Maybe people really don't need to know the difference between "went nowhere" and "failed". B)

I'm liking the points so far for voting Tom over TBZ, by the way.

Post by: Disquieted on April 22, 2020, 02:18:42 PM
This would be the part where I summarise my reads right now but.

Fabloo and PX are masons.
Serela is pretty much always a universal backup -> tracker. Or reporter. Or whatever strawberries.
BBM is probably a voyeur, I can’t see any sort of scum reasoning for claiming voyeur (the specific voyeur action ahem) in this spot.

Yaersulf has too much extended interaction with NucleusWaffles.
Daiya is too towny today, if not yesterday, with how he’s handling his own clear.

Sb is probably town, eat me.

Banana spritzee has a very outside chance of being mafia here but I really don’t see it.

Raikaria may have fakeposted to push serel- hold up didn’t he like, hardpush Tom first. The fire truck is this.

Tom doesn’t have anything going for him in either direction, and actually has a bunch of incriminating stuff. Tom you didn’t mention Nucleus either way yesterday? It was either me or Serela the whole time.

If Tom doesn’t flip mafia I’m having a word with the manager, but also, if Tom flips mafia, what the fire truck is the endgame here, I’m having a word with the board of directors. I’m tired, I’m out.

Absolutely not. I have said the full capabilities of my role [much] earlier in the thread.

To elaborate on this; I did so all the way back on Page 1:

I confirm I have the fantastical ability to post in thread and vote.

Anyway I'm going back and re-reading some stuff.

Something I find quite interesting is the discord between PX/Fabloo on lynching Waffles yesterday. I'm wondering if they are actually both the same alignment. Like; PX is a Mason but Fabloo might not be. But this is me theorying stuff and simply taking Fabloo's anti-Waffles stance and attacks against me for pushing on someone who flipped red worse than most other people probably would.

I'm also going back and re-reading some stuff. Especially the last few hours of D2; and the events around the initial push on Waffles.

OK; first major thing: Serela isn't on his counterwagon.

we absolutely have the numbers to turbo lynch banana, right here and now

Let'S MAKE THIS HAPPEN

Then there's his attempt to make a Banana Turbolynch. This indicates that Serela dosen't want Waffles lynched. And Waffles is scum.

Then we have Serela's tracker claim; except:

1: Why target me with a Tracker anyway?

not the obvscum, but the possibly 'townier' scum who might be doing a nightkill in their place. So, I went after Raikaria,

But predictably for me not turning up dead, I was roleblocked :C

Firstly; after I was one of the people pushing the dude who flipped scum so hard D2; why on earth would I be targeted over someone like Banana; Tom and so on?

Secondly; isn't the roleblock rather convenient? Claim PR; then claim roleblocked.

---

Is it crazy to think that Serela+Waffles is a thing? Because Serela very quickly changes from 'don't lynch me' to 'don't lynch Waffles'. In fact; he never really pushes his own counterwagon.

I dunno maybe I'm going down the wrong path or misunderstand the ED2 Clustertruck.

But I feel like trying this to at least spawn discussion, rather than just jumping on the easy Tom/Banana wagons. [Also I think Tom's actually near hammer atm?]

I mean, just because they're Masons doesn't mean they have to have the exact same reads on everyone. Part of being a Mason is that the other Mason(s)' alignments are confirmed to you. Since this isn't a bastard game I'm going to assume they are of the same alignment.

Tom should claim imo. We're probably going to end up at this anyways so there's no reason to drag it out to a couple hours before phase end and then end up in a scramble.

Sb remember when we did drunk tracker? Good times. Not sure if that was better or worse than reporter.

I kinda feel like either raikaria or yaersulf is scum. Feel like it would be super basic for nucleus to just suddenly hardpush a whole scumteam with no other scum in there. That being said he was pushing yaersulf for most of the game and it feels somewhat unlikely that raikaria would protest so much to unvoting nucleus even if he was trying to bus there. So idk maybe it's just a bunch of lurkers lol
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Three)
Post by: Serela on April 22, 2020, 04:48:56 PM
I was really busy at EoD2, I wasn't supposed to be as present as I was during the last 30 minutes but it was getting too intense to not force RL out of the way for a bit.

Although of course I got a bit carried away wHOOPS. I would have hammered Waffles but he hammered himself before I even had the chance to swap back.

I think it's a little silly to suggest I didn't 'push my own counterwagon' (other than the end-of-day twilight zone where turboing banana sounded like a good idea for some reason). It's true I was pretty busy at the end of the day, but from the second waffles claimed I was pretty set on "dude what no lynch this".

I was already pretty clear on why I targetted you over the other options. I don't think a reasonable mod would allow a random scumteam roll of three people playing their first game of mafia to go through. Everyone else with mafia experience I have a townread on. I think the less obvious scum would be the one probably doing the nk. I also think Tom/Banana are probably going to be lynched regardless of what happens, so why would I even need to try to get a guilty on them? It's a waste of my night action.

Post by: Serela on April 22, 2020, 04:51:48 PM
Oh wait, banana isn't playing their first game of mafia (it's easy to forget when they NEVER POST ANYTHING BUT VOTE DROPS) and originally the slot was bard.

I guess that reason doesn't really fit there. But my latter reason of "why am I targetting someone who's probably just lurkscum and getting lynched regardless". It's not like a 'they didn't visit someone' result would clear them as town, I need to try to find helpful guilties.

tl;dr you use power roles to solve the people you can't get a solid read on. Cops shouldn't cop their strong scumreads (unless no one else believes you at all, maybe), no point getting a guilty on someone the town was about to lynch tomorrow anyway, etc
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Three)
Post by: BigBangMeteor on April 22, 2020, 05:08:08 PM
I would have targeted smartbomb but raikaria is an ok target.

But reporter sucks it basically just tells you if someone is lying about a vanilla claim lol. It's actually almost completely useless in a role madness game, even a low power one, because there are no vanillas.

In general, we will have to think twice if  you have a night action, so you should claim it if you have one. I wish I had the time right now to try and work with you but I don't. Hopefully someone does that.

Tom:We wouldn't want to lynch a town power role who might have gotten info off night results, without getting said info. It could potentially even change our minds! But yeah, you... kind of haven't done anything since day 1 other than post a couple vote charts. So there's nothing to suggest you're town instead of scum lurking the game out, and you have unfavorable interactions with the flipped scum.

It's customary to ask anyone about to be lynched to claim their role in case there's useful info or something that would make us reconsider the lynch.

Tom, it was very selfish you to take your life. Do you think others do not care about you? Your voice matters as to your presence if you are town. We will not allow such a selfish be done so easily. Even if your heart is truly twisted, we will let you be redeemed.

I'm going to go over what I want to happen this night with what the information we have in store. I will also be revealing a few things about me and my sister.

For starters. me and my sister share abilities. However. This is compulsive. We alternate who is controlling our each actions each day and night. If I do an ability in the day, then my sister cannot use hers at night. Vice-versa.

Last night, my sister flavor copped Tom. We know his identity. We don't know who it is but.

That's entirely aside the point.

BBM. I noticed you claimed Voyeur. Will you please voyeur my sister (PX)? This will ensure if scum target her that we can understand what was done to her. Even if she is lost. I should be able to recieve her results. Serela. I need you to track Tom. This will work as proving your innocence as well.

Tom? I want you to use your ability however you desire. If you have it. Claim your results immediately tommorow.

Raikara. I cannot find your claim. Hopefully this will ensure the best possible results for tommorow morning. I do not know which one of us will die tonight but I have always had faith in my people. So long as they have faith in me.

Out of the corner of her eye, Cruxie couldn't help but notice that there were some suspicious looking characters loitering outside the temple.
"Oh my, it seems as though we have some unwanted guests. Allow me to educate them about how rude it is to arrive unannounced."
The others simply carried on with their game as the sounds of a heavy hammer hitting stone and flesh indiscriminately resonated through the temple.

the only time it ever happened I think

They actually did try to nightkill me in Swordgirls Anonymafia, but on d2 I had hard hard scumreads on 2/3 mafia members AND was being called obvtown (Even though no one believed my cases for some reason; kaori was lurking stupid hard with completely empty posts and uesugi was hardcore tunneling and doing literally nothing else)

oh wait, we're playing mafia, aren't we.

oh you had a governor lol I thought Tom was a lynchproof. that may be why he got killed...? tbh I would have bought scum lynchproof and lynched him again though

I know you asked me to voyeur PX but I decided to wifom the scumteam and target serela again, also because i didn't think the scumteam would care much about flavour cop t b h. in hindsight I should have targeted tom to verify that serela wasn't just BSing being a backup reporter. bad choice by me ugh.

anyways serela wasn't targeted by any actions but given he was told to target a flipped vanilla we don't really know he didnt just make it up on the spot.

sigh. this game sucks. is this where we lynch banana? we have to get rid of this slot eventually sigh. i dont really know who to lynch at this point. starting to wonder if the masons really are third party and the game is like 12/2/1 or something dumb.

Fabloo, you know how to answer this question with the correct amount of disquiet. NucleusWaffles has a role that targets players of a particular gender. It's, according to Nucleus, weak, but it's pretty clear Nucleus may not be the best judge of character on mafia mechanics.

Please take note of my first sentence and perhaps consider this a rhetorical question. What could this role possibly be?
Flavor cop most likely.
I've already alluded to my opinion further on this. Yes I am just dropping the role it correlates to. I don't do role spec often but it's clear to me that there is an important male character likely in this game. He has red hair.

Tell me, Fabloo, why did you think Nucleus was a flavour cop when YOU ALREADY KNOW OF A FLAVOURCOP?

using it on Tom was a poor choice because if scum hadn't killed him we probably would have just lynched him again since everybody else thought he was scum and he had mostly stopped trying after he got suspicion for trying on day 1.

i don't think the ability is "most likely scum" but it's not an ability that only town would have either. i think you're probably not scum because there was no reason for you to stop tom's lynch as opposed to saving it for yourself as a last resort if necessary. but it's kinda fire trucked up that neither you nor PX have died yet.

i just stayed awake for the flip tbh I'm going to sleep now.

what were PX's flavour cop results?

Why did you actively go against the town mason who stopped a town lynch from happening. Why am I now being voted for preventing a town lynch.

cuz i didn't think it was a good idea. i targeted the same person because the way that mafia treated him could have potentially changed...? i wanted to see if the ninja roleblock thing was a one-time thing or not and wanted to see if serela would lie about being hooked again. like I said what I really should have done is targeted tom to verify serela's role though.

I thought the Tom governor was an incredibly weird choice until I saw the night action plan. Then it... sort of made sense? I could have targetted anyone else tho', we didn't even know if Tom had an action or not yet.

Literally the whole game wanted to lynch him and he hammered himself like 26 hours into the day without claiming. He did turn out to be town, but overall I'd rate it as... fairly poor judgment. Governor is mostly a pretty bad role tho' to be fair, there's extremely few decent situations in the first place. (Like... scum quicklynching someone in mylo, I guess...?)

I don't think Fabloo is actually scum but they've gone 3 nights without being nk'd after claiming weird PRs so I can't entirely blame disquieted, we probably shouldn't actually be doing that tho

it's also kind of fire trucked up that half the town is vanillas but you and PX are not only masons (already the most powerful town role that's shown up) but also have like day and night JoaT abilities including something as powerful as governor.

it may just be that like tom was some kind of lynch delay? who the hell knows. sb is better at rolespeccing than me so he will solve the game when he wakes up I'm sure so I have someone to sheep

serela does your role mention any kind of restrictions on who you could replace with UB? I don't feel it would make sense for you to replace one of these claimed mason roles if one of them died N1. Does it say that you can only replace town, or only replace not-mafia, or what?

it's terrible setup design to concentrate that much power into two roles. what if scum had just randed you n1 before you ever claimed and a protective role knew they had to target you? the more you talk about your roles the more you guys seem like third party to me.

I just don't know why you would use the governor on tom rather than save it for yourself. all I can think of is that it's actually just a way to delay the death of the lynch target until the night and you thought this would give you guys town cred or something.

Yeah there's a reason I don't really believe Serela either because there's no way he could UB a role like ours. It's way too strong. I really doubt everything that's going on in front of me. Banana isn't really playing but Tom wasn't playing either and he was town.

Something is wrong. Very wrong.

do you have some weird win condition on living a certain length since you apparently power up over time?

i would say fabloo is just not town but it's hard to see them as being scum with the role powers they've already displayed. maybe i shouldn't be outguessing our great lord dormio though, i know what kind of weird setups -I've- made, I should know this by now

I wholeheartedly promise I am not third party lover with PX. We are just town and I really want to solve this game because of this. I cannot do it alone either. We do indeed power up over time. In-fact it takes an extremely long time and I'm not sure if we'll get there. I finally get a daycop on D7. Lol.

Yeah. But I also really did think Tom was town.

Serela. What do you think of that lynch? It can certainly be analyzed. Was all town just tunneling Tom?

Post by: raikaria on April 24, 2020, 05:34:21 AM
Raikara. I cannot find your claim. Hopefully this will ensure the best possible results for tommorow morning.

As I quoted during Day 3 to give context to what I said were 'my only abilities', my only abilities are the ability to post in this thread and the ability to vote.

I'm Vanillia.

Tom nightkill is pure 100% unadulterated 'what'.

I hate rolespec. Also I'm growing ever more suspicious of the fact Fabloo and PX are both still alive. And that Tom was the nightkill is really; really odd. In fact, all the nightkills have seemed a little strange. For what it's worth, Governer is usually a Town ability from what I'm used to.

I can see a few explanations:

1: Scumteam is deathly afraid of Doctors or other town PR's

2: Scumteam dosen't want to 'confirm' the surviving mason

3: Scumteam is all inexperienced

4: Fabloo and PX are lying

Also; @Dormio/Conq: Did this lynch over-rule count as Town's one no-lynch?
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Four)

sorry, one-shot-doc*

I already commented on that yesterday. I don't think that was a situation where Tom's potential scumbuddy could possibly defend them. There's a point where attempting to defend your about-to-be-lynched buddy really only hurts yourself.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Four)
Post by: Fabloo on April 24, 2020, 05:37:06 AM
I honestly don't think the scumteam is inexperienced. I think maybe there's one experienced player in there not necessarily coaching rather being survivalist and hoping that he can use his fodder to propel himself further through the game.

As for why he kept us alive? I don't know. Dormio and NNR survived for a very very long time as masons in the last game. Perhaps he thought the same. We could've been horribly wrong and he didn't fear us. Also maybe not just one but two. I don't think this scumteam is stupid as we assume. They're just biding their time.

Venting.

I was a little peeved BBM didn't follow through because if scum had a rolecop we could confirm it if they tried to rolecop PX once I revealed we had more abilities beyond altering the day. Instead he picked you again and it's just. Slightly unnerving. Slightly.

his tom check idea actually sounded pretty solid but it's a bit late for that

we can have him try to confirm my role tonight instead!! but somehow I don't think this will go as planned. planning your night actions in broad daylight with scum staring at you tends to not work well. unless there's like 1 left so they're strained on night actions, or the blocker is already dead, or something.

then again. they did kill tom for us???? maybe it works great???????

I am assumeing then, since we did not no-lynch, we still have a no-lynch?

Because the ability to force a universal loss with an ability seems pretty silly.

And yeah; the more I think about the nightkills [Zwejb; NNR and Tom] the more I get concerned.

Even if you're trying to avoid the Doctor/Tracker ect, when the hell would you ever nightkill someone town just early-lynched?

NNR wasn't doing too much; but he really seemed convinced Smartbomb was scum.

Zwejb wasn't anyone's strongest townread, but he was sure pushing Serela.

Tom was pushing Banana

So there's not really a pattern there.

Instinct. Things I talked about at the end of D1 in my giant read wall. It hasn't changed too much. Also didn't feel right that a scum would just self-vote like that and the way he did as well. Looked like Tom was trying to prove a point the lynch was wrong and wanted us to suffer because of it.

I am of the opinion that Tom got vigged for being obvscum (what the fire truck he flipped town) and the nightkill was blocked, honestly.

This game is a mess but also I don’t really feel like we’re losing it. Shrug.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Four)
Post by: sb on April 24, 2020, 08:48:33 AM
To reply to BBM, I think Serela being Universal Backup makes the whole “Masons existing with the powers they do” thing more likely considering there’s a contingency if one of them chokes N1 or something.

I also don’t think we should massclaim yet. Protective role still exists and I don’t want to out them. I don’t think scum actually has a roleblocker since only Serela on N3 failed an action and that could be explained by other things, like rai being scum Ascetic or something. That’s where I’m kind of interested in looking next ftr, but I might take a bit to get to it.

Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Four)
Post by: Disquieted on April 24, 2020, 10:23:59 AM
Gonna be brief.

Everyone is town. I cannot find a reason for anyone to be scum short of TBZ and that's cause TBZ is easy. If I was to make a list I would be fitting square pegs in round holes, frankly.

Maybe the scum is TBZ + 1. This probably means we're lynching TBZ today and being complacent. But that's really annoying to deal with.

Let's talk about the masons.

Fabloo literally hard defended Nucleus over and over again. We don't need to go over this. It exists.

Fabloo cares way too much about living, to a ridiculous degree. They're masons, we lynch PX for the security and we still have a bunch of highly townie players and roles. How do we lose here? From Fabloo's perspective knowing that there are four claimed roles and one or two theoretical unclaimed roles (protective/killing) the game is locked. Fabloo is scared because he doesn't want to die. Why?

Fabloo literally dictated night actions in the middle of the night to be completely suboptimal. Forcing Serela to track Tom is useless all around and implies Fabloo has some significant TMI on Tom. If Tom is town it's useless. If Tom is scum, what the fire truck does that say? Forcing BBM to voyeur PX to get around a rolecop that is already dead is nonsense. Forcing a doc on anyone period is just poor. Why not force a doc on Serela? Why on Fabloo?

This couldn't have been done in the middle of the day?

Why does Fabloo block a lynch on Tom? Now that we have hindsight it's cause we know he's town. But we had no idea he was town, so this is rank, and even worse, we wouldn't know Tom was town if he DIDN'T DIE LAST NIGHT. Had Fabloo blocked a lynch and say Serela had died which was to be expected, we go back to lynching Tom again and quite frankly the lynch stop was completely scumsided cause it turned out Tom was really bad at defending himself. The only way Fabloo reads Tom as town here is just blatant TMI; even worse about this is that Fabloo doesn't actually have a direction today which means he SHOULDN'T BE SO CONVINCED TOM WAS TOWN, cause he has no relative scumread to push instead on. He should be reevaluating.

You know why no power roles have died? Cause all three claimed power roles on Day 1 were scum, and if you kill a power role, people start asking questions why the masons are still alive. Night 2 is questionable but could be chalked to a doc dodge. Night 3 was deliberately planned, or a vig, and the vig should out at this point if they exist.

Quite frankly I see this as a gambit and we will lose the game to this unless a spotlight is shined on it. So we can lynch TBZ and shut our brains off cause we're ahead, but I'm staying here cause if TBZ flips town you all are going to tinfoil on absolute garbage when the answer is right here.

It doesn't even have to be hard. Just lynch a mason at some point. You also can't backup a mason god-wise but that's beside the point and flavourgaming.

And if I'm wrong and TBZ flips scum, whatever. This doesn't detract from anything if he flips scum. It has to be said.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Four)
Post by: Yaersulf on April 24, 2020, 10:31:28 AM
Yeah Disquieted I've actually been tempted after that last night to say we should lynch Fabloo, have a theoretical doctor protect PX, and see what the hell Fabloo actually flips as. Mostly just because at that point I feel like we'd actually know what the hell is going on. :V

Post by: Yaersulf on April 24, 2020, 10:32:34 AM
I agree that it's super weird that they no-lynched Tom. I can understand supsecting he was town, but there's no way they should be so sure of it that they'd waste one of our lynches on not lynching him.

Post by: Yaersulf on April 24, 2020, 10:35:09 AM
Also again I know that this is kind of weird meta-information. But that first example role literally says "You win as long as the Goddesses remain alive when the game ends. Best of luck!"

@fabloo- the scum rolecop is already dead! Also you told the town protective role to target you so what was the point of also having PX doc you??? Aghhhhhhh

Your actions were suboptimal and if we were going to coordinate actions in public we should have done it in the day so that more people could have input. Imo serela and I should both target either smartbomb or daiya.

Tbh I just don't know how to deal with nucleus claiming he targeted daiya n1. It's such a weird person to pick that I don't know if it was just the super basic "say my buddy is confirmed town" move or he was trying to wifom us into thinking daiya was his buddy, or if it was just his actual target in which case daiya is also town.

banana should claim though

Oh yeah Disquieted i can break down your huge wall with one thing.

You didn't want to lynch Nucleus either. You said that you're not voting off the protagonist of the game. You're not even on the wagon when he flipped scum.

I can quote it if you want. Also, i defended him for paltry mechanical reasons. I admit that. I did come to see the error of my ways and stopped thinking he was town. He just happened to not be third party.

Yeah supoptimal is definitely what last day was. I want to defend myself here a little bit and my actions though. I did want to discuss it with others but Tom hammering himself shocked me. I was waiting for his claim and then I was going to basically do the whole speech I gave after I used my Governor.

I also think that
I am playing sloppy and not in the way I envisioned. To be honest. I'm quite stressed. It's taking a toll on me and just the other night PX told me something along the lines of 'I don't want to think anymore about this game' and I've been left to my own devices. The lack of Feedback from him has left me to again use this thread like it were my Quicktopic. It's a bit cluttering but I personally believe that if you look at my actions and how hard I'm trying to win it should be evident that I am what I say I am. Town. I did not read Disquieted's wall but I assume he spun it like I'm like I'm third party. It's going to sound a bit cocky but if I were third party I would be less critical of myself of my actions because I would've been doing a great job to survive. Instead. I have wanted to survive because of the fact our roles do contain a ton of power and I felt responsible in turn because of it. I don't know what else to say. I think I want to stop talking about myself however.

Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Four)
Post by: Serela on April 24, 2020, 03:54:44 PM
um

i didn't -think- fabloo was scum but I'm not sure how to react to the way he's defending himself actually

"I can tear down your whole wall with one thing!", proceeds to say something that only addresses the first sentence of a multi-paragraph case, ignores rest

later admits to not reading the case at all, assuming it argues he's third party, which it... doesn't

maybe this actually -is- where trying to keep up with a day one mason claim as scum breaks down?? you can't justify how you're possibly alive so you just flail in total confusion, get town to waste all their night actions following the mason, and then present as having a breakdown to excuse it?

But then Tom of all people got nightkilled and he was town. Surely if Fabloo was scum they'd have let town mislynch Tom the next day, or at least argue about it for a couple game days when my track result was negative? Although really, this applies to any scumteam I guess, the tom kill doesn't make sense any way you look at it щ(゚Д゚щ)

I wish I could look to PX for more help but he's being... PX. He's majorly lurky, as PX tends to be. He did have pretty good interaction with the waffles wagon tho'. Hey PX, can I ask for a confirmation that you're actually masons and not neighbors, just to like... make sure that's still a thing that's true, and not just you trying to prevent a d1 fabloo lynch of your big power role neighbor? I mean if one of them is scum they'd probably both be but I feel like I should at least cover the bases

You're right it's lazy. Is Disquieted really claiming that I'm scum with PX? That would be absurd. Also throwing. I don't think I've ever seen a single game where a scum-aligned pairing of two people thought let's both claim town masons. What happens if one of us flips? I've completely thrown the game. In the hypothetical scenario.

Part of me said what I did because I'm honestly tired. Game tired. I was hoping you would see this and understand this can't come from anyone but town who is acting out because he just wants to see the game won. I've told myself. Go look at this. Go look at that. But I'm like. Tired of hearing myself talk.

How many walls and how much have I written in this game? Too much. I didn't want to entertain another long battle of wits when we're stupidly lynching our own because they're newbies. No matter how you look at it. Tom was town. I actually really dislike people saying 'Oh, a Vig might've shot him' because how could not think he was town based on how he phrased that end of day. It's absurd. This is all really absurd and frustrating. I personally don't believe a vig will come and make that theory true but hey I've been wrong this game before.

How could people not think Tom was town when he... self-hammered 26 hours into the day without bothering to claim?

I guess technically scum in his place should have tried to claim cop or something and at least -see- how it went before self-hammering, but I don't really see how this is a town-indicative action.

Listen we can lynch Banana and maybe he'll flip scum but then I think the last one is gonna be way harder. Also what hppens if Banana just. Isn't scum?

I don't think either smartbomb or I think nucleus was a flavour cop...? We know he was a role cop.

Smartbomb is questioning why you thought nucleus was flavour cop when PX himself had a 1x flavour cop, honestly a pretty useless ability if character identity is divorced entirely from their alignment in this mafia game.

@serela/fabloo pointless discussion now but if Tom were scum who had given up, self-hammering to cut off the phase before we were fully ready is the right move. You be spiteful as scum because you think you're being lynched for stupid reasons even if the lynch is technically correct.

If banana isn't scum then I think I'm looking at smartbomb and daiya? Idk lol who knows what the numbers are in this game. I think there's like a pretty solid chance, esp if banana is town that this is some weird 11/2/2 multiball or 12/2/1 or 13/1/1 manhunt as opposed to a traditional 11/3/1 or 11/4 setup (10/3/2 would be really lame). I'm having a real hard time seeing nucleus act the way he did with experienced buddies.

Post by: Fabloo on April 24, 2020, 05:18:00 PM
I actually didn't think he was. I'm pretty sure my brain didn't even read his death and just saw the red flip alone. Therefore it shocked me and I didn't look at the game at all after that given. It's a completely my bad moment as with a lot of things.

Apologies. I am definitely frustrated that Tom did what he did because I never planned to be snarky or even stop the lynch and then reveal everything I had to say. I was thinking about just letting him die but I thought maybe I could use the night opportunity to catch someone in a lie. As I still wasn't fully trusting of Serela. Another reason I don't think it's a full newbie team is because their kills thus far don't line up with that ideal.

If you look at them in hindsight. It says a different picture. You have Zwerd and then NNR and now Tom. None of these players were instrumental to deciding lynches and they weren't even townread that much. Why not kill the most vocal players if you fear them so much? Even worrying about a doctor or some protective doesn't stop you from thinning out the front lies. I just don't understand why we're ignoring this. I would think newbies would be intimidated by the presence of the people leading and try to go there. This is why I'm still hesitant on Serela. I kinda feel decent about you however. You've been sensible.

I don't know Banana entirely but I think it was SB who said he plays lurky scum. I just don't see scum going. Yeah let's keep making them think they're wrong. Especially given that we were right on Nucleus eventually.

Fabloo what is PX's N4 ability? What is your d4 ability? Let's just coordinate the actions for the claimed ppl.

I think newb players are more likely to psych themselves out and make suboptimal kills than experienced players. I think the zwerd and NNR kills were not what I would have done exactly but justifiable. The tom kill though is pretty fire trucked up. I think the best explanation actually is that scum were fishing for the protective role and the non-claimed ppl were down to Tom/sb/smartbomb/daiya. But for them to kill Tom over the others probably implies one or more of those others is scum.

My D4 ability can give us +24 hours to the day if necessary. This is permanent.
PX's N4 ability is a one-shot vigilante. This is why I think a vigil doesn't exist.

I think Rolecop/Roleblocker and then Goon is pretty balanced. Not outguessing the mod though. Maybe Serela did get roleblocked.

Post by: Fabloo on April 24, 2020, 05:31:41 PM
Sorry I'm like. Posting a lot. Formatting and cohesion have long been gone.

Another reason I sort of subscribe to the idea of a roleblocker is that. By N6 PX's actions can no longer be stopped at night.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Four)
Post by: Fabloo on April 24, 2020, 05:48:05 PM
So yeah my idea was.

Bait roleblocker onto PX. Confirm existence of. You voyeur him and we can validate Serela in the same process. PX protects me and maybe we can get them to finally try to kill me. This didn't happen though.

I have returned.

God I'm reading about all these abilities different people have and here I am as a Vanillia Townie wondering how I got none of the pie. What the hell are these supermasons. It feels like the game just revolves around Fabloo and PX.

I'll be honest, if you look at a slot on Day 4 and cannot think of a single noteworthy thing it's done, it's probably lurking scum. I'm totally up for just lynching Banana, but Fabloo is also claiming there's a vig so it might just be better to vig Banana honestly.

Aside from Banana, pretty much everyone has pretty good reasons to assume they're town. But there's also various question marks over people at various points that I've mentioned before [Polaris->SB's interaction with Waffles; Serela's D2 turbowagon attempt; BBM not following the instructions of the Masons last night; the fact PX/Fabloo have not been interfered with or killed...] I really need to look over some stuff a few more times.

Game is hard.

Post by: Fabloo on April 24, 2020, 06:29:31 PM
Just saying that I'm pretty sure in my subtext it is defined that if one of us were to die the other would just be a lone mason and their powers would no longer. So I think it balances out.

PX's N4 ability is a one-shot vigilante. This is why I think a vigil doesn't exist.

I just feel like asking about this more.

Who do you and PX currently intend to vig, if any intention is around?

Do you think it's better to lynch not-Banana and Vig Banana?
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Four)
Post by: raikaria on April 24, 2020, 07:38:20 PM
Because I'm entirely happy to lynch Banana btw, I'm just of the opinion if we all agree we should discuss something else and just shoot Banana.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Four)
Post by: Fabloo on April 24, 2020, 07:56:01 PM
Ok in the shower I just had a revelation of events.

I think that Nucleus or perhaps his scumteam had an understanding of gender and somehow their powers played a little into it. I misread this as I've said thinking his role was town and that it was something to benefit us. Nucleus' behavior was likely fishing for info while trying to find good leads to rolecop. Nothing more nothing less. I am no longer of the opinion that an experienced team wouldn't let him do what he did. I actually believe it makes more sense for an experienced team to let him go awry. Along with the way the claim developed.

Moving on. Nucleus likely rolecopped Serela which is why he claimed Universal Backup. Serela counters this as he should. Somehow we kill off Nucleus because his claim is so absurd at the time and scum probably didn't have the chance to walk him through it, therefore he strung together a fairly deceptive lie about his behavior D1. The good news is that scum only used their rolecop one night and if I'm lead to believe what I say is true then it was on Serela.

As for the following night, their roleblocker roleblocks Serela to cast doubt upon him. They kill off someone seemingly inconspicuous in the process. The next day we barrel onto Tom. I think that was largely town lynching town by the way. I stop the lynch.

Previous night. They feared my plan and decided to kill off Tom in hopes he was possibly PR. They no longer had a rolecop and maybe read into what he said and thought he was being intentionally vague about his role therefore having some sort of power. They don't go after us because Disquieted wants to string together a false narrative why we're alive because he believes in his merit to decieve. Oh yeah I forgot to mention the conclusion I had is that we should definitely lynch Disquieted.

Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Four)
Post by: Fabloo on April 24, 2020, 08:00:52 PM
So now we're here again.

Think about what Disquieted has really done. He's had a pocket read on Polaris since D1 he kept putting off and has never mentioned it again. He was suspected by a town member who is dead. I don't think Disquieted is stupid. I think he would definitely kill there to make people think that was a means of incriminating him. He wasn't even on the Nucleus lynch when it happened. Just saying that any willing town is going to look at that wagon and discern if there was bussing or not. Disquieted didn't want to be caught there and feigned ignorance. I think he also didn't want Tom's blood on his hands either. He's playing mostly for himself. He's become less vocal over time because he's trapped and afraid of contradicting himself. Sure there's any easy out. He could just say Polaris didn't matter anymore and sb is town. I honestly think he is just weary and this is a last ditch effort to get rid of us. I will stake my life on this to be dramatic and happily vote him back.

##Vote: Disquieted

As for Banana? Yeah let us shoot him. It will probably get roleblocked though so I'm hoping Disquieted is just roleblocker.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Four)
Post by: Fabloo on April 24, 2020, 08:01:43 PM
Again look at who died.

Zwerdjib suspected Disquieted. He's dead.
NNR suspected Disquieted. He's dead.
Tom? I'd have to look again.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Four)
Post by: Fabloo on April 24, 2020, 08:25:34 PM
Trying to comb through Nucleus' reads.

D1 he drops some readwalls. The first one is no of consequence.

D1 he thinks I'm mafia for the longest time I think.

#71 he talks a bit more about everyone>

Quote
I agree with Tom, we should no-lynch now and wait better for the abilities to do their thing.

Thanks NNR for answering me about quicktopic upkeep.

I don't understand why there is pressure on Bardiche, and why, conversely, has there not been pressure on meow56, zwerdijib, and disquieted.

These persons have been lurking, and disquieted only contributed by saying 'I am chewing' which is well, not helpful in the lightest sense of the word.

I also don't like how much zwerdijib is swearing, although the new filter is much better.

Meow56 how fast do you type? I personally am quite fast on the keyboard but not exactly too eager because I don't like to make mistakes here. Do you like the Bardiche lynch?

I don't like the Bardiche lynch, I also read the mafiascum wiki but lynching lurkers should not be a policy in games with strong meta tells. We have a player base where many persons know each other and a well-documented player meta history. Therefore it is incorrect to lynch lurkers unless they are actively making the game harmful.

In addition, the mafiascum guide states its only helpful to lynch lurkers when there's a sufficiently large pool of inactive lurkers for scum to hide.
Right now, our only pool of inactives are zwerdijib, meow56, and disquieted.

This should not be a lynch-all-lurkers policy today, it won't exactly be helpful.

cut by 2

Summary

Don't understand why Bardiche is pressured.
Don't like Zwerdjib (filler reason).
Puts shade on Disquieted says he is not being helpful and lurking.
In hindsight this posts doesn't really say anything about anyone. Just talking about topics and then this strange shade towards Disquieted.
He does mention something about lurkers though. He feels that there shouldn't be a lynch-all-lurkers policy but dislikes Disquieted for lurking. Odd.

Quote
Okay, I have decided.

I am upgrading my vote tentatively from PX to Fabloo.

##Unvote
##Vote Fabloo

My reasoning being, I would like to see Fabloo being more content-posting rather than trying to reset our progress.

I get Fabloo is a very active player who plays by the rulebooks, often correcting us on our misplays.

However, correcting misplays is all he does. He himself, aside from leading a vote on me, only used quite ambiguous means of expressing his discontent including ("I dislike you and I dislike Serela") without actually following up on those leads.


On the subject of leads, I am looking not to lynch lurkers today, which would include zwerdijib, meow56, PX, and disquieted.
However, I am up for lynching the persons who are more active today but seems to be bent on driving attention away from themselves, this seems to include Fabloo, Daiya.

I don't know about these players because they post similarly they sound like the same person, Bardiche, BigBangMeteor

I tentatively read town these people; Polaris and NekoNekoRex.

Summary

He scumreads me here. I don't think I claimed mason yet. Put two in two together if Me/Nucleus/PX all decide to do this and he just randomly votes me like this. People forget that Nucleus was the one and a few other who got me to preemptively claim. He has this really strange way of phrasing as well. He says he doesn't want to lynch in lurkers which would be Zwerdjib, meow56, PX and Disquieted. Where did his opinion change on Disquieted and why? He never processed this and I think if I were to go look at Disquieted he never acknowledged it much either.

Moving on again. His next few posts are just talking to Bardiche and talking to me. It's a real interesting interaction to say the least. Keep in mind Bardiche is banana here. #203-#229 is a real telling exchange. Don't want to quote it all. Go look at the snippet and come to conclusions yourself. Bardiche's replacement was left-field and I honestly believe that Bardiche does not replace out immediately after talking to his partner like that. If we assume Banana is Nucleus' partner.

As I go through his posts he is quite active and spends a good amount of time talking to people. Everyone besides Disquieted. Not once did he openly interact with him. It's true. Go look yourself. Yet..

Quote
Thank you for your kind gesture.

I hope we can kickstart something now, dwelling on this the longer the worse I feel.

I-----

Don't agree with the Tom wagon, I think he raises quite reasonable points from a statistical angle.

I like the raikaria wall.

I would rather lynch lurkers now. I want to see some activity.

I feel for Disquieted, it seems all effort has been voided.

He keeps defending him. Why? This is a pattern that continues on further. He does this. With. No. Other. Player. From what I understand he kept his vote on me and still disliking me then still happened with Yaersulf. Then he votes me here.


Quote
I am very confused by the role spec and I have just took some pills for a cold in self-isolation.

I agree with the third party lovers theory, and I see no reason why we should not eliminate them.

##Confirm Vote Fabloo


In addition, I didn't like how Fabloo sat out the main meat of Bard vs Tom, which I must mention again.

The claim sounds real enough in that its ambigious, but I am not converted immediately.

cut by 1

In addition, I have read a high number of motk games where last minute switches usually do more harm than good.

I await persons to discourse and talk with otherwise. Sorry if I wasn't reading much after Fabloo claim survivor lovers

Still tunneling me. Still voting me even after my claim. I'm not quoting everything from him because a ton falls into word jargon.

Quote
I feel like a proud parent, although I definitely was not the only person arguing against your lynch, I am so glad you are here.

Also, props to Disquieted for the motivating wall in D1, I liked it alot and got super town vibes from it.
 
However, I still don't think Fabloo is on the right track entirely, although his wall is indeed well written.

 Mafia is, as you said, social strategy plus layers of deception, while your analysis are valid like reading from a horoscope. It becomes difficult to digest all your content once I try to memorise the 12 zodiacs and their luck for the day.

Basically, my gut doesn't trust Fabloo's wall.

And Yaersulf's as well, but I can't exactly pinpoint why

cut by 4 wtf

Still praising Disquieted. Disquieted townread all the way. Coincidence maybe. Who knows. It doesn't sit right the way he never resolved his problem with Disquieted or even interacting with him and tried to. See that's the key difference as well. Nucleus was actively engaging people but I think he was avoiding his scummates because he was afraid he wouldn't be able to sell the lie due to his inexperience.

End of Day 1.

Serela (3): Polaris, BigBangMeteor, Tom

Polaris (0):
^Active and quick to switch votes

Tom (0):
^Data man, does not vote easily

Fabloo (0):
^I don't like his attitude. I read him as third party survivor lovers team in a 15P game, but he seemed glad to pick up on the masons claim and roll with it.

I don't mind his powers which are benign now, but both PX and Fabloo I want lynched before MyLo

^Has a medical job which is very ethical, probably a good lynch just for the sake of his mental wellbeing

Yaersulf (0):
^All actions with abstract train of thought, I would vote

BigBangMeteor (0):
^Highly respected by Disquieted, also produces well articulated walls and very likable.
Was also in old MoTK games, buddying with Disquieted


Daiya (0):
^I forgot about him as of typing this sentence

PX (0):
^Team with Fabloo, power lurker who definitely seems less honest and upfront, how active are you in the 'masons' chat? Fabloo, really you should consider if PX is shaping your opinions. Of course, the argument wouldn't apply if both of you 'are' survivors

Summary

Disquieted still town.
Serela who.
I'm still scum.
Yaersulf would vote him.
Wait huh. Disquieted town but BBM buddying with him? That's weird. Roll the tapes johnson.
Every other read says basically nothing.

OK so Nucleus spent a good time talking to Yaersulf I'm seeing now. That's kinda weird and is making me tilt my head. He's really friendly to him too.  #851-#860. Does this seem like scum interacting.

Quote
Here cometh the player I like the most so far, Disquieted!

Really now. I see.

He does talk to Disquieted a bit but it's. It's more mechanical. He just responds to a question about his ability and nothing more. It's really different from Yaersulf. He continues keeping an open conversation however. My personal opinion is that the vast differences kinda make me think Yaersulf could be town but. I'm not gonna fully commit to this yet.

Quote
I can't read the content now so I will just summarise what I managed to skim since I last argued with Yaersulf.

Serela is the prime wagon now for not being same as past games.

Fabloo/PX whom I was concerned with are still not here.

Some arguments between Disquieted and BBM

Very long walls, again, I need some time to read, but my prime suggestion for everyone involved is please chill, remember the length of your arguments are only as good as the number of people in it, or something.

This argument right now seems so excessively long with so few number of participants, its going to be tedious for everyone to go back and check every point being made.

Not much being said. Still doesn't like me and PX. Disquieted/BBM arguing. Hindsight is killer. He really was not really saying anything for a long time. If you keep reading further it's just more shading of me. We're definitely partners right? A newbie definitely hardbusses here. Yeah. He asks me where I should vote and everything too. Whatever.

Quote
I honestly think Disquieted is going too fast because nervousness at L-2, so I understand him emotionally but I am physically incapable of keeping up because I am not interested in his lynch nor do I think he is logically flawed.

I don't have a scumteam, by extension, I think its too early to formulate scumteams because our premier D1 lynch (Bardiche) made a confusion replace out with a non-lurker. So despite the additional mod-confirmed information (loss of tracker and outing of masons, bad news), in terms of buddying analysis we are essentially back at D1 square one from scratch.

And this perspective is making me horribly apathetic, or at least apathetic enough I trust myself in taking matters into my own hands. I think we should, however, for clarity's sake lynch banana spritzee.


I disagree with Tom not being helpful with graphs, the graphs are very helpful, and this is honestly a mess of words I regret digging myself into, but I am doing so anyway because we don't seem to be being very rational by lynching Disquieted, one of the more rational and town-lean players, based on scum team speculations.

cut many times

So he doesn't really have a scumteam after all. He's not glorifying Disquieted as much. But also doesn't scumread him. Says he can't keep up and he's not interested in his lynch. Just occured to me we had Disquieted at L-2 once. Need to look at that after his flip.

Quote
I scumread Yaesulf, because he seems to be coasting.

I don't like using my vote so liberally because I know specifically a player (Tom) is good at tallying votes and onlines and logins.

In the meta of this game, and the meta is defined by its players, I need to break out of the exact mould if I am to remain useful and alive.

If I have to vote someone, I want to vote Yaesulf, because he seems quite active start D2, then is coasting now that theres a big fight for survival over Disquieted, Fabloo, BBM.

Also, in defense of Serela, Serela seems serene and a genuinely nice person despite being screamed at by everyone for being useless. Why must you all bully him so?


Anyway, scumread, actually, why haven't I voted Yaesulf yet?

##Vote Yaesulf

Yaesulf, I want your hot takes on the matter.

A. Really strange pivot. He was quite friendly with Yearsulf but now think he's coasting. Alright.

Quote
I want to lynch banana spritzee, because him flipping provides vital information over whether a) Bard is scum, jetpacked to protect his slot and game from a D1 lynch b) banana spirtzee is town, coasting is entirely due to incompetence c) banana spirtzee is town pr, which is coasting deliberately and we need him to win us the game where tracker was gunned D1 and masons (if true, self-claimed)

In fact banana spritzee dying would simplify so many threads of possibilities I just need him dead to actually make use of D1 interactions, at least from my perspective. However, having him dead is the worst thing if he is in fact what we need to win this power game which we are on a disadvantage of, so I would rather talk about lynching him and develop new points and hopefully the game state changes enough so we can do so without lynching him

However talking about things waste time energy and other players' attention and ultimately we need votes to do anything so I am being careful with my words but Disquited you are on L-2 and I do emphathise with your pressure so I hope this will be the first and last time I need to spill my guts okay press send

Switching over to Banana. Still again. Defending disquieted. Do I really need to say something here? I should look at those votes on Banana earlier.

Cutting for his claim shenanigans.

Alright we're nearing the end of Day 2 with Nucleus.

Quote
I think Big Bang Meteor/Raikaria/Yaesulf is the scum team.

I mean no offense to Tom but he is busy with other obligations and is likely joining this game because forum mafia is the biggest hit and the last remaining community spirit MoTK has got going for it.

Taking Tom out because he is not posting, when he has a strong alibi is not helpful.

Daiya was taking a similar stance, but the choice of words when he was riled up and immediately clammed makes me think we are not on the right track.

Similarly, NNR had absolutely no reason whatsoever to join in the firefight which Polaris, Disquieted, Big Bang Meteor were starting, this seems very town with me.

Going with Serela too, I think Polaris vs Serela was very genuine frustration at a stagnant game.

Disquieted was annoyed at the casualness which this game is being approached, and retailiated from not being taken seriously and relief from voting pressure being off by starting another wagon, I think this is a scummy move but comes from a reasonable place.

I also think Disquieted's role speculation is really off coming from a town place, like I literally remember someone saying Masons/Tracker dead town has no power roles. That sounds like gloating, and who do we have here that's repeatedly drilling this logic in our heads?


I refer you to #1085 and #1097, both on page 37, masons mentioned by raikaria, then BBM.

Literally, nobody else talked about power roles in pages 37 to 40 since I last checked in.

I feel our roles are being fished out by a scum team that thinks they are winning, and are now content to let us play the traditionalist game while they speculate on the power roles

##Unvote
##Vote raikaria

I think explanations are in order.

This is where everyone is justifiably confused because his reads no sense. However. Look at this. He says Disquieted is scummy but somehow..reasonable? This compounds further and he starts leaning into Disquieted. Yet. YET. He is nowhere to be found on his scumlist. If you look at his past reads with me he was quick to make up his mind about me. Why is he being so sensitive about Disquieted? Ask yourself.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Four)
Post by: Fabloo on April 24, 2020, 08:58:55 PM
Alright. His claim. The big event.

Quote
am a universal backup. Each night, I may target a player, if they die, I receive their powers.

I targeted Daiya on N1, I got nothing.

I have other conditions to my powers but I would like to not fully divulge at the moment.

In the moment I'm thinking. Okay. So he did have mechanics that relied on his gender in order for it work. See my rationale was that by limiting his UB to only Male characters (You can go look at me talking about this) It made sense for him without making the role overpowered. Moving on again.

Quote
I have nothing else to offer, the game stagnated, we had one day left which is reasonably long enough for a shift in opinions and short enough to deny a scum coordinated response.

I really don't want a Disquieted and Daiya lynch, hence my decision to claim.

cut 1

Doesn't want Disquieted lynch still. Despite the fact his last post was him not liking Disquieted. Why. Why?

Next post same thing. I won't keep quoting it. My point has been made enough. He says he heavily townreads Disquieted despite all the contradiction inbetween.

OK. I need to cut in Disquieted a bit about what I was talking about earlier.

#1281 Disquieted puts his foot down on Nucleus.

Quote
NucleusWaffles. I know you're reading this post.

If you don't respond as to WHY you chose Daiya, a person you literally forgot was in the game on DAY 2, I am going to completely disregard what I just said and lynch you anyways.

Alright. Strong stance.

Nucleus responds with an appeal and says..

Quote
Also, Disquieted, please.

You are one of my favourite voice for being rational and analysing threads, conversely, I heavily townread you.

Your presence was part of the reason I felt confident enough to partial claim despite BBM being here, whom I believe is a team with Yaesulf/Raikaria, both of whom swooped in immediately to attack my claim.

I hope Disquieted, please stay calm and analyse, we still have time.

This seems fake to me. This strong townread of his isn't backed by interacting with him at all. Moreover. He tried to shade him earlier in his paragraph. This is when Disquieted I think was still being pressured as well. I think Nucleus was left to commit on this read so much and Disquieted likely got frustrated and told him to. Otherwise it'd be obvious.

Alright posts more posts posts. Let's move on to where Adol comes into the picture next.

##Vote WafflesNucleus

fire truck the 30 second actually scared me there

Then just self-votes. What the hell. Disquieted didn't even have a chance to move back. As for why he abstained I have no idea. I don't think Disquieted could entirely control Nucleus at this point. This is a summarization of the connections between the two but it is merely to provide context why Disquieted makes sense. It's not the most thorough observation but. Nucleus is a new player. He's going to have more flaws to pick up on and shoddy behavior that is more noticeable. Him clinging to his partner makes sense to me even in the face of adversity.

So yeah; Smartbomb is someone I haven't actually looked at too much through the game. I've been reading him as I go; and he's certainly raised some valid points at various times, but he's never really been in the forefront of my focus.

I'm gonna have to mull over these Fabloo quotes; and read him myself. While I am working tomorrow it's a shorter shift on Weekends. So I should have more time to do reads and look into things then.

I'm thinking we have two main options today:

1: Lynch Banana, but spend the day making plans, and finding a potential vig target

2: Lynch someone else; vig Banana [provided the lynch dosen't make Banana highly unlikly to be scum via interactions]

We could even hit two scum by doing this. But I think a Turbolynch is a bad idea tonight when the masons gain a vig shot.

Post by: BigBangMeteor on April 24, 2020, 09:51:34 PM
We went over this- it makes no sense for Nucleus to claim something he knows is going to get CCed. Serela didn't have a lot of suspicion on him at the time that Nucleus claimed, so the most likely scenario once Serela CCed was always going to be that Nucleus was lynched. The only reason it was so chaotic was because Serela didn't CC until an hour before phase end. And even if Serela had been lynched, Nucleus would still have been lynched the next day. I don't know who Nucleus rolecopped on N1 but I'm extremely confident it wasn't Serela.

If PX has a vig shot then we shouldn't lynch banana. We should use the vig shot on banana bc that forces us to talk more in the day and protracted periods of waiting for inactive ppl to do stuff sap energy from the game, which tbh has already happened to a big degree. reactions to a smartbomb or daiya lynch are more useful than reactions to a banana lynch where even his buddy wouldn't defend him at this point and there's nothing to say except that the slot has to die bc it's impossible to read.

also don't use the day extend thing unless we're like struggling to reach hammer. 96 hour day is unnecessary except for maybe D1.

Should we try to use it tonight? I'm just worried it gets lol roleblocked because I'm pretty sure scum have one.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Four)
Post by: BigBangMeteor on April 24, 2020, 10:11:36 PM
Mainly looking at Smartbomb and Daiya for the lynch. I think everyone else has better interactions with Nucleus. I'm assuming for now that there is a traditional scumteam but probably if we go another cycle without hitting scum we have to just throw interactions out. Just to summarize:

Raikaria: strongly pushed for the Nucleus lynch prior to Serela officially CCing and had to be forced into voting Serela before he went to sleep. Even if Raikaria was bussing Nucleus at this point, I feel like he would have just switched to Serela and continued the Nucleus bus the next day. I also feel like Nucleus seems like a bad person to bus given he had a role and a 3-4p scumteam almost certainly has a goon who would be better to bus?

SB: I think both Polaris and SB have been townie and I also think that Polaris pushed Nucleus to claim to begin with and SB also was key in pushing the lynch through the chaos leading up to the D2 deadline.

Yaersulf: I don't think it's impossible that Nucleus would bus but feels unlikely that basically the main person he would push for most of D1 and D2, until he suddenly started pushing me and Raikaria, would be a buddy.

PX/Fabloo: Not Fabloo so much but PX was pretty key in pushing the Nucleus wagon with his point that Nucleus had almost forgotten about Daiya despite him purportedly being the rolecop target.

Serela: 1v1 obviously. also I think there's a way to prove or disprove his role tonight, which we can discuss once banana claims.

if the vig gets roleblocked we lynch banana tomorrow whatever. also we can discuss getting around this once banana claims

CLAIM YOUR ROLE BANANA gonna just include this at the end of every post to increase the chances that banana sees this on his daily 5 minute skim of the thread

in all seriousness, i'll make the switch if that's the only consensus we can reach.

This is kind of a prod dodge, I have more time tomorrow fortunately. Haven't had time to read Daiya over properly again. I also don't really have the heart to read Falboo's posts too in depth, sorry.

I'm kinda coming around to the idea of scum!Disquieted just because I don't think that Daiya and TBZ coexist as scum here. Something has to break, but I need to actually read that. Meh. If it's not him, it's raikaria.

Serela targets in a pool of Daiya/TBZ/Disquieted/raikaria tonight probably. Whoever is left.

I'm not sure how I missed those defenses of Disquieted by Nucleus in D2, I guess I was just so sure at the time of Disquieted being town that I skimmed over them.

But, you're right they're definitely there, and so are weird defenses of Daiya like this:


Disquieted lynch was disputed by me. Alternative lynch target Daiya also disputed by me.

Fabloo, Polaris, BBM, NNR, and I somewhat agreed on shaky grounds, so we now should have no immediate further need to pursue Daiya (I think and hope this remains true).


Could it be Nucleus/Disquieted/Daiya?

Snap decision is that TBZ is not playing with any sort of town indicators and hasn't been all game. I can't find a team around him but I can't find a team for anyone aside from Fabloo/PX and I don't have any interest talking about that again. Even Fabloo has town indicators. Games hard.

Lynch the scummiest person, fire truck teambuilding. I have serious issues with Bardiche and Nucleus that make them not aligned but I'll come back later and examine it.

I'm out. Tired and tilted.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Four)
Post by: Disquieted on April 25, 2020, 01:18:40 AM
If we're talking about Nucleus defending me, it's out of sorts but there is no way I come out on Day 2, place a vote on Nucleus first and ask him to evaluate his role and still be suspicious of it later to the point where I'm forgoing mechanically correct choices to just want to personally lynch Nucleus anyways.

I also knew Serela was soft counterclaiming it and made sure to let Serela stay at L-2 so I could be certain of it instead of letting a quickhammer on him.

I'm not with Nucleus. This isn't really helping considering 3/4 of the game isn't with Nucleus but it exists.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Four)
Post by: Disquieted on April 25, 2020, 01:20:02 AM
If the game is just TBZ/Daiya and I'm messing around with a bad clear on Daiya this game is awkward but I suppose is the easiest correct fit at this point and only sucks cause it's the easiest team.

Which is funny, I guess.

Like why Fabloo is so desperate not to get lynched, and how for the most part they seem to be using their powers to help town, but also were willing to take a massive risk on no-lynching Tom.

Post by: Fabloo on April 25, 2020, 01:25:52 AM
I love your idea Yaersulf but we're just town and we would like to win as town members.

If we don't lynch you Disquieted then I'm probably gonna try to shoot you. Hate me later for it. I'm not trying to tilt you and either way you're playing this game just like me.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Four)
Post by: Fabloo on April 25, 2020, 01:29:27 AM
When it comes to what PX is doing. PX is strange. We haven't talked much in the chat. Believe it or not but I actually didn't get his abilities until about N2. I had to contact him through additional means. He did mention he had differing abilities but I ran with a lie that we altered the day and well. Other things.

I actually tried to convince him not to lynch Nucleus as well at the time because I thought his disengaged attitude was causing him to tunnel someone I thought was town based on mechanics. Turns out it made him able to see clearly. Why risk a no-lynch? Because if I can prevent a town from Kamikazing I'll do it.

I don't know Disquieted. You're gonna have to argue that somehow it makes sense for me to openly argue with PX and for him to hardtunnel Nucleus. I'm not that masterful to construe such an idea.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Four)
Post by: Yaersulf on April 25, 2020, 01:31:26 AM
It could even explain why PX is so apathetic! If they've managed to convince everyone that they're town it doesn't really matter either way because he can just coast and win either way. The only thing it doesn't explain is why Scum haven't shot them yet. Unless they've tried and failed somehow.

No. Even if I trusted you it'd be the completely incorrect decision, you were never dying.

There actually wasn't a correct jail and I was losing my mind in the middle of the night so I idled it on Yaersulf. Would've probably been better to jail TBZ or Daiya quite honestly, and that's my bad.

I jailed sb N2. Seemed to be the correct decision in all worlds, I can't jail Serela cause he needs his result.

Jailed you N1 before you ask. Correct decision even if you think PX was dying there, I'd rather you alive than PX.

By the way are we sure we don't want to vote to lynch Zeenana and vig shoot the other person we want offed? Seeing as we're pretty sure there's a scum roleblocker?

Of course this assumes that Zeenana is the person we most want gone. Which for me isn't necessarily true, I'd prefer we off Daiya.

Post by: Disquieted on April 25, 2020, 01:45:36 AM
This probably makes a whole of things make sense including the part where I didn't believe Nucleus and thought Serela was a PR, cause it was exactly my same reaction to the claim. Just felt out of place especially with a tracker flip and I could basically double as a investigative role sometimes, so a random flavour cop seemed odd.

This also gives a lot of credence to BBM for having an empowerer in the same game as a jailkeeper btw. And sb for being blocked when the scum have a roleblocker and kill be successful.

i think that leaves daiya, sb, and banana to claim.

daiya/banana make the most sense as scum, it's hard past that. ._. fabloo actually raised decent points on disquieted and he didn't exactly have a strong game start. he looked really good from how end of D2 went though. Yaersulf looks good from it as well. bbm is towny town town town. SB I haven't thought about very hard tbh, he subbed in, cased me, and the game's been a loony bin ever since so what do, but Polaris seemed to be town towards the end of their play. That just leaves raikaria who... i've kind of been too lazy to ever go back and properly evaluate which was why I tried to role shenanigans them instead ;_;

yeah I can verify that a jailkeeper targeted fabloo n1 and crumbed it in my first d2 post. I was trying to talk around it so that the JK wouldn't have to claim. sigh.

ok so what we're doing is using the jailkeeper offensively. we lynch banana today, smartbomb targets daiya, serela and I both target raikaria. if serela and my actions both fail again then we have raikaria as a scum ascetic since it's the only way both our actions will fail.

fabloo, please start telling the truth about your actions. you're making this vastly more complicated at this point and it would have been strawberriesty if PX hadnt told the truth and we'd let banana go through until tomorrow. What ability do you have tonight?

Yaersulf's correct, I put it on Yaersulf. Terrible play, roast me after the game.

I was actually planning to just claim immediately when coming back cause there aren't many spots left (If daiya is town he probably got copped so after we invariably lynch TBZ we're left with SB and I as not claimed) and I'm technically in that unresolvable spot where the game feels fairly nebulous if you didn't know my alignment, I purposely stuck myself in the PoE. It'd be easier for gamesolving purposes of you knew now.

Threatening to get vigged just put it over the top.

Ngl, I thought Disquieted had already claimed and so one of Daiya/TBZ had to be the protective. So really it could just be... Daiya/TBZ. Ha.

Jail on Yaersulf N3 heavily implies they’re town, right? Serela probably got roleblocked and another scum performed the kill. O guess this is making a few assumptions though.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Four)
Post by: Disquieted on April 25, 2020, 07:02:05 AM
We don't know who got blocked last night. Nobody might have. So Yaersulf could be exactly the scum roleblocker. I'd like to believe Yaersulf is town regardless, though.

You're the most clear for being jailed on a night where Serela said he was blocked. If a ninja roleblocker exists they didn't carry the kill, the other scum member did. If raikaria is mafia ascetic, it means he didn't carry the kill and you can't be the scum member who carried the kill. You could be scum with Serela or BBM, but we don't need to go over how unrealistic this is.

Making a few assumptions such as assuming there are only two scum left and the mafia meta on this site is that they have to idle their abilities to carry the kill, of course. Surely 11-4 is too big of a town/scum ratio? Where I come from that's super scumsided and they tend to lean to be much more scumsided than the regular game relative.

I just remembered why I didn't want to jail TBZ - I was considering he might be vigged, lol.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Four)
Post by: sb on April 25, 2020, 07:24:08 AM
Oh, it was N2 where Serela got blocked, nvm.

I suspect 12/3 because I don’t think we have enough firepower for 11/4. If it was 11/4 I would expect some big-time info role, instead we have a Reporter and fire trucking Voyeur. Masons obviously help but I don’t think we have rolepower to justify 4 scum atm.

I guess my big ??? with Ninja Roleblocker is that wtf is scum number 3? I don’t think they’re a goon in a setup like this and if scum had a Strongman or something they would be... not shooting potential vanillas I think at this point. This leads me to wonder more about rai again but hm.

BBM can you check to make sure your night results are all correct lol

Post by: sb on April 25, 2020, 07:27:03 AM
Honestly if we’re dealing with 3 scum or 4 scum it doesn’t really matter though. It just means one of the extra townies in our PoE just happens to be scum compared to the 3 scum setup.

Also there could still be a neutral I guess. Prepare yourselves for the Serela Arsonist victory everyone! :pikaknifedance:

idk if this is just tunneling but the way smartbomb is posting makes me very paranoid, it doesn’t really seem like he wants to make reads that aren’t safe

sorta feel the same about yaersulf, considering vote switching

Also I think someone asked me to claim but I’m (pretty sure) I’m just vanilla (if I’m not whoops I haven’t been submitting the past few nights)

At this point there's just too many town power roles, surely.

A big positive for Banana Spritzee is that he knows my flavour without me even claiming it. That's a huge plus for him. Sure, he could be scum backup jailkeeper or they could have rolecopped me on N1 or had a scum universal backup that took over rolecop. Lots of thoughts.

Now we have the complication of having a specific backup and a universal backup. Dormio what the fire truck is this setup.

Post by: Yaersulf on April 25, 2020, 11:07:28 AM
Your jail on me failed? If so that points to them having a role blocker being a likely possibility.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Four)
Post by: Disquieted on April 25, 2020, 11:12:24 AM
Here's my thoughts;

- TBZ is lying. This means he's either scum backup jailkeeper which is a really weird role especially when scum already have a roleblocker. He can't be rolecop or there are three mafia remaining, we have a confirmed scum roleblocker and the other scum has to do the kill. Or I was copped N1, and the mafia decided not to kill me for... what reason? That's exactly the world we have to live in and it's very wacky.

- BBM is lying. Voyeur sucks, but he put his neck out on both Serela and I and I assume crumbed his N1 result properly - not checking right now. It requires him to make many moves in advance and for him to set up his claim, and to act townsided for a significant time and don't even push a Serela mislynch when he could've managed it with no problem, which probably implies if he's ever scum he has to be exactly with Serela. As a note I keep thinking BBM's an empowerer, I'm an idiot.

- Serela is lying. This is the easiest option mechanically and the only sticking point here is that Serela CC'd NucleusWaffles, which means this is a long-term gambit.

- Masons are lying. You know the points for this, but Fabloo and PX feel real and are super detatched from each other especially with these recent events. If they're a scumteam they're doing a super poor job coordinating.

Cut by yes my jail failed on you. Mafia roleblocker's still acting, and there's a significantly lower chance it's raikaria's fault.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Four)
Post by: Disquieted on April 25, 2020, 11:15:24 AM
Mechanically speaking I can't see a world where Serela isn't outed here unfortunately, between the mystery roleblock and the fact that a backup jailkeeper showed up to soft counter-claim Serela is ouchie. Hopefully someone can double check me on this cause Serela's been pretty good this game lol.

Post by: Disquieted on April 25, 2020, 11:19:15 AM
I'm gonna go to work, I'm just. Literally reeling from the fact that TBZ managed to guess my role exactly and the fact that means we have ANOTHER power role in the game what the fire truck.

Why is this happening in the middle of the night. Are you seeing this strawberries.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Four)
Post by: Disquieted on April 25, 2020, 11:39:16 AM
banana spritzee - lock clear unless you can find a decent explanation to how he knows my literal role pm. fabloo as the resident lore nerd can probably explain better, I would guess
sb - jailed N2 and serela was blocked. the only world this can exist is if serela is lying, is scum, and sb is the scum roleblocker, who threw his roleblock in the middle of vtland and missed both me and BBM. a possibility, but basically we should always go through serela before going through sb.

BBM - has to take a lot of suboptimal paths to keep his claim afloat. is possible, theoretically. very, very difficult to see.

PX/Fabloo - covered this thoroughly with the negative bent, but probably unlikely at this point. should be lynched at/before lylo though for safety, but I don't think we reach that point given what's currently happening what the fire truck

yaersulf - towny VT 1
raikaria - towny VT 2 but less towny

Serela - his play doesn't make sense if he's scum but there are inconsistencies adding up with the claim. this is not a slam-dunk "lol serela is scum", this is just a ??? moment all around

Daiya - ?_? rolecopped??? maybe???? probably not???? I guess????? we shouldn't hinge this all of a single theory. did daiya post while I was away

Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Four)
Post by: Disquieted on April 25, 2020, 12:11:56 PM
From your perspective, you'd have to explain the jailkeep on Fabloo N1 that BBM saw. It would mean I'm a scum jailkeeper and there isn't a scum roleblocker in the game, and there's no doc role in the game apart from whatever the masons have in their bag of tricks.

It's theoretically possible, I suppose.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Four)
Post by: PX on April 25, 2020, 12:14:51 PM
Welp, that theory where zeenana and Disquieted are both scum is so absurd I'm tempted to throw it away, but considering what's happened in this game so far insane ideas are far from off the table. There's so many linked roles and claims right now it seems like the game is close to solved???
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Four)
Post by: Daiya on April 25, 2020, 12:20:25 PM
if disq were scum, i don't think he'd choose to coordinate their claims like this. if nana gets lynched and flips scum, then he could easily get hit for safety after that. his is the claim that i trust the most, followed by bbm's

Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Four)
Post by: PX on April 25, 2020, 12:30:17 PM
Alright, going to try and clarify what's happened so far:

My Dearest Sister/Me: We are the Goddesses of Ys. We are Town and do not lynch please <3

Disquieted: Jailkeeper. Jailed My Dearest Sister N1, sb N2, Yaerself N3. No failures so none of the 3 targets could have killed or been killed during those nights.

zeenana: Backup to Jailkeeper. If flips role confirms there is a Jailkeeper in game.

yaerself: VT

raikaria: VT

Serela: Universal Backup, currently Tracker. Blocked N2, targeting Raikaria, N3 Targeted Tom, no results

BBM: Voyeur, confirming a Jailkeeper action was performed on My Dearest Sister N1.

Daiya: ??? Just claimed VT.

sb: ???

Post by: PX on April 25, 2020, 12:34:26 PM
There is also always the option that Disquieted and zeenana are opposite alignments set so that one alignment can steal the power from the other. That could help explain some of the power balance in this game.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Four)
Post by: Disquieted on April 25, 2020, 12:38:11 PM
I got blocked N3. This means there's a scum roleblocker role in the game, even if we don't trust Serela. You may have missed that, I just noticed the message in my inbox. Sorry, wasn't really expecting it or any feedback really.

If the rest of the team makeup is scum roleblocker and scum backup jailkeeper + the dead scum rolecop I'll spit. Possibility scum wanted to hunt my exact flavour but it's a weird way to do so.

Oh right, I must have missed that. That doesn't change too much then. And yeah, there's always the possibility the scum were trying to hunt for that flavor, which could explain the night kills. Or the possibility that you're mafia and zeenana is town, but I don't think that's more likely than the opposite right now.

##Vote: Serela

So Serela is caught in two different 1v1s here: BBM didn't see Serela being roleblocked, and TBZ is another variant of backup.

I don't see a world where town specific backup and town universal backup coexist.

I also don't see a world where scum rolecop Disquieted N1, then never roleblock him until N4. Ways that scum could've figured out who Disquieted was ahead of time:
-Scum!Voyeur BBM (I don't think this is it)
-I get rolecopped N1 and scum are in the other unknowns, allowing them to PoE down the protective role. This is possible, but requires a specific team of Daiya/Banana Spiritzee to work. You could sub my name in here I guess if you wanted but fmpov this is the only way.
-Scum genuinely has a backup for their rolecop, which... wouldn't be weird based on Nucleus' claim, honestly. Like, y'know, Serela?

For Serela to be town, one of the following needs to be true:
-BBM is scum and lied
-Scum have a Ninja Roleblocker
-raikaria is ascetic/invest immune/whatever

I don't think it's the first, think the second is unlikely and the third is a crapshoot. Idk. Rolegames. It feels like this is scum Serela.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Four)
Post by: Disquieted on April 25, 2020, 01:05:39 PM
To be clear, TBZ knows my exact flavour. Knowing I'm a jailkeeper isn't enough.

Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Four)
Post by: Disquieted on April 25, 2020, 01:08:48 PM
Also if scum have a backup for their rolecop they haven't been able to use it. N2, they used roleblock and kill if Serela is telling the truth. N3, they did the same but this time I'm telling the truth.

If Serela's lying he's scum anyways by definition. Basic conclusion is that if scum have a backup for their rolecop, they haven't had the chance to use it or there's more than two scum or we have a bad assumption here. You understand better than I could explain.

do you take any stock in the redacted abilities, disq? based on nucleus' fakeclaim, the scumteam did somehow know that flavour was relevant in the game, so a flavour cop wouldn't be too out of left field. it'd be weird if they all just had standard roles when we've got fabloo/px

Scum already have rolecop. Having flavourcop would be quite strange. The most tenable solution for how TBZ knows my flavour apart from the obvious is that mafia have a condition to kill me that isn't obviously universal backup but I don't know why I'm so special when we have two literal gods in the game. Bit of an interesting design decision.

Sb, we don't know if scum can't act and kill but Nucleus couldn't act and kill. It's an assumption that the rest of the scumteam are the same, but I hope not a heavy one.

Problem Solver: Throughout your many years of adventuring, you've learned to keep an eye out for the small details that most others would miss. As a result of this, you may target ONE player every night and learn from their behaviours what their role in this particular game is. You may not use this ability in conjunction with any of your other abilities, unless that ability specifies otherwise.

To be clear.

I suppose this doesn't get target player's full role PM, and is just an ability cop as written. Depends on how Dormio resolves it. A mafia flavour cop can't be completely discarded I suppose but that flavourcop would have to target me N1. It's a very precise world.

cut by PX is technically right, I guess. I have an aversion to no lynching though, but we could theoretically go off.

Note that it says you may not use this ability in conjunction with any of your other abilities, wrt sb.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Four)
Post by: PX on April 25, 2020, 01:34:26 PM
That said we can definitely confirm that mafia do indeed have an ability to block actions, passive or active. Nucleus's flip has an interesting 2 redacted abilities. One can definitely be surmised to be the ability to communicate with his allies, but the rest of his PM also lacks an ability to kill at night. That is probably the other redacted line.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Four)
Post by: PX on April 25, 2020, 01:38:41 PM
The biggest link so far is the N2 circus between BBM, Serela, and Raikaria. It seems pretty likely there is at least one scum there since this doesn't add up without somebody lying or some really stupid stuff happening
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Two)
Post by: Daiya on April 25, 2020, 02:11:17 PM
this daiya post is interesting do you guys think scum!daiya says his buddy is a rolecop as a joke before anyone knows it's true?
ah. my line of reasoning for that was pretty clear, but i did play it off as a joke. could already hear circus music forming in my head as i typed it.

ok, i was starting to wonder why our claimed power roles are "game-altering masons with nighttalk" and "gender-specific targeting universal backup", while zeep flips "tracker". god this game's a headache.
for fabloo/px. it felt weird that the claimed prs were so outlandish, while the flipped one was just...basic. for clarity's sake, i do acknowledge it as a genuine possibility now, but i'm more in favour of the assumption that they're just town.

one thing that confuses me - if we assume that serela is lying and waffles is full of strawberries, then it's one hell of a coincidence that they both claimed backup. i'm tempted to stay on serela, tbh.
and for nucleus = rolecop. frankly, i'm surprised that i got something right for once. shouldn't have doubted it.

nucleus is...strange, to say the least. the pr he's claiming sounds outlandish to me, but fabloo didn't seem too phased by it. do the roles here tend to be more experimental?

overall, it seems more like an inane gambit (he did call it a gambit himself, right? it's not helping his coherence) than a genuine claim to me. whether or not it says anything about his alignment, idfk. usually see this kind of stuff coming from "ambitious" townies, so that's my knee-jerk read. need to hear more from him, but i also don't advise making him the main focus atm. tends to derail things way too quickly.

@sb, this was my stance on nucleus. never followed it up with a comprehensive tts list, but my end of day 2 post before serela claimed does support that. you can read up on it, i'm one of the easiest people here to iso. just don't think this line of reasoning really works here.

pretty jaded after tom's flip, so i'm starting to think that the majority of waffles' interactions are poisoned. considered the possibility of him just being a traitor, but s͎h͎i͎t͎, i haven't been drinking enough for that.

I think bananas buddy fed them a plan because he's obviously lynched soon here, (or he's just feigning incompetence, never played with banana before) and they somehow knew disquieted's flavor. Getting him to counterclaim me in the process is icing on their cake.

I'd vote banana but I already am, cool.

Real life backup role Banana should have been counterclaiming partway into day two, or at least voting me or waffle at some point since then. It's day four.

God this game

So a couple options. We could lynch serela since it seems at this point that he's lying. What would even happen if smartbomb was the first to die? Serela said he replaces anyone of his alignment, but how does that work with a specific backup for jailkeeper? If we lynch serela, if he flips scum, then I think smartbomb just targets daiya. If serela flips town smartbomb should probably rand between raikaria and daiya. Meanwhile I target smartbomb.

Alternatively we could play it safe and no lynch. Then smartbomb rands between raikaria and daiya while serela and I both target banana? That lets me prove if serela is telling the truth and also lets us check to see if banana goes anywhere, which they shouldn't if they're telling the truth. I don't really like this path tbh because there's too much room for scum to fire truck it up by hooking me and killing smartbomb, especially if serela is scum since he could just kill smartbomb and then fake a result on banana, given the only point of not lynching Serela is to be able to prove his role.

- Serela is lying. This is the easiest option mechanically and the only sticking point here is that Serela CC'd NucleusWaffles, which means this is a long-term gambit.

There's also the fact his action after his claim was quite suspicious; his choice of targeting me.

And then he targeted Tom.

Throw in once Serela wasn't a wagon, he tried to make a turbowagon to counter the Waffles lynch. It could be because the lynch was between the two of them, Serela tried to CC Waffles to try and get towncred for whichever one survived the lynch.

There's definitely no world you have a specific backup and a universal backup. I think Bananas claim has some glaring holes in it tho'. Like, again, you're a backup and you don't say anything about the multiple claims that can't coexist with you for like a realtime week?

Rai we've been over this, other people don't think me targeting you was strange last I remember. I think you've got some personal bias going on there.

Post by: BigBangMeteor on April 25, 2020, 04:26:17 PM
I can't really see a world where banana is scum unless he's buddies with smartbomb but that would involve us not having a protective role which seems dumb.

Also if scum had learned smartbombs flavour he would be dead by now.

I guess theres a world where they inspected him n1 but then decided to go for hooking him rather than killing him on n3? But then they let him free on N2 soooo

And there's still the n2 result of serela not being visibly hooked which requires the existence of a ninja Roleblocker.

Also I shoukd say that if we lynch serela and he's town smartbomb should rand between daiya and banana, not raikaria.

I still think 11/4 or 11/3/1 with serela being an arsonist or something is possible ftr. I think even though reporter and voyeur suck if the masons are legit that's two clears...

@fabloo I'm like 95% sure that one of serela and banana is not town.

There's also a world where banana is a third and has a separate rolecopping ability. Scum backup for scum roles only is also possible I guess and them rolecopping smartbomb n2 could explain the smartbomb hook on n3 + scum knowing the flavour. Grr

Post by: sb on April 25, 2020, 05:12:50 PM
Also I'm of the opinion there's 4 scum and 3 of you are talking much closer than expected. I was looking out for an independent but these amount of claims and power is ludicrous.

I don't know what role powers you and PX have, but most of the claimed roles suck ass. Reporter isn't very good aside from confirming VT claims (if we don't lynch Serela, this is their job now), Voyeur is only useful if it catches a random rolecop or for anti-rb insurance. Jailkeeper is good, sure. Then we have backups of dubious alignments.

If scum N1 the jailkeeper and rolecop a mason, we're just kinda fire trucked if there are 4 scum. I don't see it.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Four)
Post by: Serela on April 25, 2020, 05:16:39 PM
Glad we're on the same page!

Given banana's nearly non-player presence this game, I think the only thing propping up his claim as genuine is he knew Disquieted's flavor. However, relying on that as a clear is very shaky. BBM brought up a very strong point; if scum still has access to rolecopping through a backup scum or otherwise, they could have copped Disquieted N2, which is very very possible considering he was blocked on N3. Using this claim attempts to lynch town Serela who otherwise is pretty unlikely to get lynched, and Banana was already next on the chopping block. I can't think of any other claim Banana could make that would be liable to even keep him from being lynched, much less counterclaim a town PR to get lynched over him since BBM/Disquieted verified eachother's roles with results already.

This actually seems like the perfect scumclaim for Banana here and the Disquieted block last night supports it.

I think there's 3 scum because the flipped Scum waffles had been making scumteams along the lines of 3 scum. Also by looking at town's general power level. I could be wrong tho', I don't think knowing the number of scum here matters too much right now.

OK; so if I'm following the general thoughts, it's generally agreed that Banana and Serela contains at least 1 scum

##Vote: banana spritzee

Out of the two; I am of the opinion Banana is more likly to flip scum, simply because someone with such low acitivity and contribution at this point is... well... probably scum.

I mean, this also probobly applies somewhat to Yaersulf; but he has various interactions with other players that makes !scumYaer quite unlikely.

God I hate situations like this. I'm alright with earlygame but when rolespec and large amounts of interactions start piling up I just get overwhelmed.

eh I mean if we lynch scum d1 in 12/3, particularly the hooker or the rolecop, (higher chance than scum randing the jailkeeper n1) scum are also pretty screwed. I think 12/3 and 11/4 are both kinda wonky.

Also- me and BBM should target the same person. With a jailkeeper out the mafia will actually have their hands full (especially if banana flips roleblocker) so this is probably the best chance to confirm my role. I don't know if it'll be that important after a scumflip from banana here lmao, but, I'm not sure BBM's role type has any worthwhile use other than that right now anyway.

Probably target Daiya? Any scumflip means my role is nearly a cop, if you're the last remaining scum and you've claimed VT then you're basically forced to go out to kill, or idle, so

Well, seems like it's either Serela or Zeenana for the chopping block. In the one corner we have Zeenana, with what seems to be a better alibi, and in the other corner we have Serela who's actually been contributing to the thread. Wouldn't it be funny if Serela is scum and both of the backup claims D2 were BOTH false.

I targeted Daiya on N1, I got nothing.

I have other conditions to my powers but I would like to not fully divulge at the moment.

I do not want to lynch Daiya from a very personal space; I townread him and see him as a power role.

Before my claim, if Daiya was nightkilled, I would get his abilities, then on N3 I can use my abilities and some other investigative role may confirm my results had I claimed D2 like right now.

I really think that Bardiche replacing out because of his own scummate insulting him is not the move. That's just purely underhanded. If you go back and look at Nucleus/Bardiche's interaction he seems pretty tilted about it.

I know I've gone crazy about. Five different times. Other opinions would be nice about this. In what game does Bardiche set up Nucleus like that as mates? Replace out because of it? If they're interacting on a partner basis that's just more merit to distance each other. It couldn't have been orchestrated. If it was then then I'm stunned.

I was about to quote it but I think their interaction spans from #207-#229.

Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Four)
Post by: Yaersulf on April 26, 2020, 03:24:45 AM
The only explanation I can think of that would explain them being scum together, and I mean this as no insult to Bardiche, I just don't know him well enough to know if he'd do something like this. Would be if Bardiche thought that Nucleus through his newbishness was throwing the game for scum by fishing for genders and interacting with him like that. But again, I don't know Bardiche that well so I couldn't say.

Not that I think that is the case, you're helping me feel better about the idea of lynching Serela.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Four)
Post by: Fabloo on April 26, 2020, 03:29:32 AM
Well I know I am again losing it but.

It's just actually underhanded. It's really scummy. Not like scummy in terms of mafia but scummy in character. I wouldn't let Bardiche join my games scummy. Even if Nucleus was tilting him like that. Scum interact in-thread usually for a means of distance. Some sort of purpose.

Look at the timestamps. Bardiche takes about two hours to come back and replace out after talking to Nucleus. That's enough time in a quicktopic to diffuse the situation or even try to talk to him. That didn't happen though. Bardiche came back and saw someone else insulted him and replaced out.

If that was set up within two hours and Bardiche told Nucleus he was gonna do that. I'd be done.

That's... that's actually a pretty good point in favor of Bard's slot not being scum and I can't even blame the people voting me over banana with that reasoning. If it wasn't for the claim seeming like absolute 1v1 material I'd unvote banana off that myself.

I feel like I should be refuting it but I really just don't see a way to beyond "Maybe Bard just got frustrated and decided he really didn't want to play Mafia after all so it's best just replace when it's still ed1"? Banana hasn't existed all game so there's not anything to really case them with other than over their claim, which I've done. :S And of course, the nonexistence itself. I'm not sure where to go from here???

Can you go a bit further on this idea right now you have right now?
I'm not sure how to go further on it. BBM's role confirms actions on a target, so it confirms my backup as existing. Since scum should be pretty much forced to deal with a jailkeeper existing, especially as numbers dwindle, me and BBM might actually be able to both get our actions off; especially after a scum flip since a lone scum -really- won't have the time to stop us unless they let the JK keep doing their thing for additional nights instead. And, with all these VT claims and only one scum left, my tracking is suddenly copping-tier; lone scum HAS to be acting to have any hope of winning, and unless they're a ninja (which tbf we seem to have a ninja roleblocker but maybe it's banana!!) then a tracker is really all you need to catch'em.

Cut by... huh. Are you suggesting the scumteam is BBM/Disquieted? But where does Banana fit in? I guess if there's 4 scum that could make sense. BBM's claim seemed pretty fluid tho'. I guess theoretically if Banana was the jailkeeper backup but the jailkeeper is scum banana could be town, but town stealing the scum jk would be so swingy.

ok also I’m apparently not vanilla if the tower’s guide or something is absent from the meeting I take their place? or something like that, but the tower person is still in the game

Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Four)
Post by: Serela on April 26, 2020, 05:11:35 AM
Fabloo wouldn't be aware, but Bard has a history of getting the mafia frustration. I don't mean this in a bad way (especially because he doesn't usually express it via lashing out at fellow players offensively like tends to happen in mafia sometimes) but PX's explanation doesn't sound that unrealistic. Combined with a general feeling of not wanting to deal with mafia bs from anyone else either, ontop of Nucleus?

Honestly I feel bad having to make this argument b/c it feels rude but again, banana's claim can't coexist with mine outside of some situations that I feel are kind of fringe cases.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Four)
Post by: Fabloo on April 26, 2020, 05:12:12 AM
But PX you're not seeing the context.

Bardiche specifically left because he was being insulted. This started with Nucleus. I just want you to understand why this would be really scummy and almost like ruining the validity of the gamestate. When you replace out of a game it should be uniform to make sure that you somehow keep it under wraps. You don't reveal your alignment. Scum can indeed replace out. I've done it before too. This has context however. Bardiche had a clear response to Nucleus and like.

If you take Bardiche and Nucleus as scum together then Bardiche used a tactic that makes this game invalid. You cannot use a replacement as a means of distancing from your partner.

Post by: Serela on April 26, 2020, 05:20:36 AM
...yeah it's hard to argue with that honestly ._.

I guess it IS one of the weird fringe cases...? Scum JK disquieted with swingy town backup for a scum role? Or a third party backup type? Or the third party could be anything, I guess, they could have a rolecop or know flavors or legitimately absorb powers from roles they know that exist and have the flavor of. I guess it'd be a semi-genius play to just hard lurk the whole game and claim something they can self-prove for a town clear?

Post by: Fabloo on April 26, 2020, 05:24:51 AM
We just need Banana to come back here and then I can wrap this up quick.

I don't feel necessarily great about noticing something like this. I already feel like mentioning this alone makes this game unfair. It's really hard to not look at replacements and just. Not mention you didn't get a read out of it. We're human. At the end of this game we're all just people.

In that sense it's really hard not to let your emotions get to the best of you. Especially when it comes to leaving games. I'm not blaming Bardiche the way he handled or the reaction to it. This is a game first and foremost. However that game has set rules and we're all contracted once we recieve Role PMs to assume that role in the game. Fabloo in-game doesn't reflect Fabloo out of it. Bardiche. Nucleus. You get the point.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Four)
Post by: Disquieted on April 26, 2020, 05:28:08 AM
I mean ignore the fact Bardiche replaced out, the whole interaction is very unlikely to be m/m anyways. The fact that I accidentally touched on it and he reacted in that way (ignoring replacement) means that it's not something he forgot or managed to talk out in scumchat in between, probably.

I mean it's possible but very very unlikely. Easier answer is that the slot is town.

No my thought of you is independent.

Bardiche/Nucleus and whatever I discussed now have no barring of alignment in terms of thinking you're scum. This is me seeing Banana is at L-2. Thinking to myself. Is this right? Then going back and realizing this is probably a bad idea with the clock running down on us.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Four)
Post by: Fabloo on April 26, 2020, 05:41:37 AM
And right now the narrative being exchanged right now is that Serela and Banana are deadlocked counterclaims.

Again. Banana did not confirm his role. Didn't confirm what it does. Didn't even mention flavor. The only reason we are believing he's a backup is because you claimed he was a backup to you.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Four)
Post by: Serela on April 26, 2020, 05:43:29 AM
Banana claimed if X person stops showing up he takes their place.

Maybe he massively misread his rolepm but I don't really see how this can be construed as not a backup to the person whose flavor it apparently matches up with directly.

I told waffles DON'T CLAIM RIGHT NOW YOU DON'T NEED TO

I also said If you do need to claim sometime in the near-ish future just claim cop.

I SAID CLAIM COP, ALSO DON'T CLAIM RIGHT NOW

THEN HE -IMMEDIATELY- CLAIMS AND MAKES UP THIS PIECE OF WHAT THE HECK EVEN IS THAT

Did you know the original info he was not claiming yet about the role was supposed to be that it's Weak, so if he target's not-scum or not a girl he dies? Wait, did he actually claim that in the end anyway? Oh yeah, he did.

*Sobs hysterically* and then SB replaced polaris and made a wagon on me but everyone believed waffle's dumb claim so I thought if I make it a 1v1 then my lynch will at least bury waffles in town cred

but it looked too realistic that i cc'd him and he got lynched over me, I tried to wait so long and play subpar after that and make bad statements but itw as TOO REAL and HE GOT LYNCHED INSTEAD

BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER
BECAUSE BNAANA WAS SITTING IN THE BACK WITH THE COUNTERCLAIM THAT SHOULDN'T HAVE STILL EXISTED SO LONG AFTER WAFFLE'S BACKUP CLAIM
BUT BANANA NEVER READ THEIR ROLEPM???????

I thought if I gave waffles the town cred, his claimed role was so useless, and his posts so nonsensical, no one would ever question why he never got nightkilled. But it wouldn't have mattered because he'd have eventually been counterclaimed by banana the clueless nonpresence who replaced into the magical town slot. AT LEAST THIS WAY WE GOT TO ENJOY A MAGICAL CIRCUS FOR A FEW DAYS.

Also yes. Me attempting to last minute wagon banana? Man. That sure was a mistake. Everything was so crazy. It just looked like a good idea.

Imagine how funny. How funny it would have been. If the backups counterclaiming eachother. Had both gone unlynched.

Because town turboed the actual town backup who never read their rolepm, their death counterclaiming both of us?

Scum would have been throwing their own funeral in the quicktopic overnight!!!!

Don't lynch yet. There should be one scum remaining and I should be dying tonight, or attempting to die tonight.

I can get a clear. If I die whoever I target tonight should be cleared. Even if they aren't cleared there's at least one scum outside whoever I target more or less.

If nobody dies I'll explain what that means afterwards, since it means I won't be dead.

We should agree on a target though.

Alright, slightly here.

Serela, I'm sorry. You could have argued out of this situation realistically, what Fabloo has claimed isn't exactly a clear. Once I had my head in the game I think between Fabloo and I we probably would've just lynched you anyways. It wasn't impossible, just very unlikely. I don't begrudge you stopping though.

It's incredibly awkward when the backup jailkeeper just doesn't claim and is afk, but has been a long time coming I guess and should've happened on Day 3, Banana Spritzee is just not playing the game, and that sucks, but that's how mafia works.

Anyways, let's talk about the last bit of the game.

The clears are as follows:

Me
Fabloo
PX
Banana Spritzee (probably given how this day has gone LOL)

The rest of the players are:

raikaria
Yaersulf
BBM
Daiya
sb

We can just give lip service to BBM, it's highly unlikely he outs Serela on that on D3. That leaves the rest.

sb has been pretty towny all game and kind of dunked Serela D2. I get he could be bussing but it seems really out of sorts to bus the partner that isn't already under heavy suspicion and another, separate partner.

Yaersulf has been a pretty consistent towny presence in the thread; if he's scum I'd be surprised. Regardless of your alignment you're playing an extremely good first game by the way Yaersulf.

That leaves raikaria and Daiya. raikaria no longer has anything really tethering him given that he had to choose between two scum at the end of Day 2, so we're at a standstill and we probably have to argue on a hard reads/tells level or analyse the spew of Serela and Nucleus, which takes effort.

I feel pretty silly for not pushing for serela's lynch yesterday lol can't believe I almost talked myself into fire trucking ninja Roleblocker.

Ok we'll hammer serela once we get actions figured out. So I think unless scum are going for the biggest brain triple counterclaim play banana is town. So we've got daiya yaersulf raikaria and sb as non-clears. Given that the d2 wagons were scum/scum that makes the interactions surrounding the wagons significantly less telling. Yaersulf still feels like townie to me because he was being pushed by nucleus all game but raikaria and sb's end of day 2 actions are significantly less townie considering they were basically just deciding which of the scum was getting lynched.

I'm still leaning daiya but I could see raikaria as well. The sudden switch from nucleus to pushing me and raikaria felt unnatural and I could see that being a planned bus esp given we now know they were setting up a big bus between serela and nucleus as well for cred. It bothers me a bit that sb picked banana to vote for over serela today given that the role scenario requiring scum!banana was so much more wonky, but I think overall this slot has still been pretty town.

@fabloo- for future games, don't bother trying to convince someone they're scum lol. I was so confused while reading the new posts that you were arguing so earnestly to serela that banana had to be town. Argue that to other players, not the person in a 1v1 with banana.

Why raikaria over daiya? Do you just think raikaria is more likely to be scum? I can't see like a role justification for one over the other.

OK Keep not killing me can't wait for D7.

Realistically scum should have been killing Masons starting n1 and have more or less missed the boat at this point because the JKs are stronger roles now and also clear. I'm guessing they were hoping that with enough time that you and PX were left alive they could convince town you guys were third party but it was a long shot.

Just throwing into this; I've been asking about the possibilities that Day 2 was Scum v Scum for a while now; saying that Serela's attempt to turbowagon Banana when he was previously in a 1v1 was very suspect. As soon as Serela wasn't likly to get lynched, his focus seemed to change to 'anyone but Waffles now'.

I'd say that's something that tethers me to town pretty hard. Unless I've been bussing Serela since Day 3. I know I resisted lynching Serela over Waffles Day 2; but that was because I thought Waffles was more scummy than Serela.

What do you want him to confirm lol. He's a backup for the person with a specific flavour and that flavour belongs to smartbomb.

Rip raikaria not giving up.

I have nothing to give up. I'm a Vanillia Townie.

I'm actually a little bit surprised people are even considering me as scum considering how hard I pushed Waffles Day 2; and the fact I've been suggesting the possibility of Waffles/Serela Scum/Scum since Day 3, even if I've been largely ignored on that point, people mostly writing it off.

And it seems I was right.

Of course, I don't mind if I'm jailed or killed to help find the scum. Because if it helps find the scum, it's advancing my wincon. I win, dead or alive, if Town wins.

So I'm going to ask an open question to any town left who are thinking about these chain of events.

Why is that Serela just went and outed himself once I started to turn the heat up once again on Disquieted? It's because if Disquieted got lynched then they'd be fire trucked. Completely absolutely fire trucked.

Think about it. They can get away with lynching Banana. Oh guess he was just Backup after all it's fine we still have our jailkeeper. I just don't think Serela throws his life away that carelessly. I see through all this nonsense and distraction. Oh no you guys have a confirmed jailkeeper and a backup my stupid partner. Listen no scum is that stupid to outright fire trucking clear another role. There's no benefit to that at all.

Think about it. Why is a scum member confirming a jailkeeper suddenly? Why did BBM just suddenly confirm Disquieted's role and try to clear him? I've been getting shouted down by scum this whole game.

I'm sure BBM will come in here and say some sensible but detracting points that overall say nothing perhaps along the lines of but you were wrong about Nucleus. You're being crazy again. Yeah no Tom is definitely scum too. No you didn't governor him because you townread him. You can't do that.What's that you townread Zwerd as well? Why aren't you pushing the newbies this is an inexperienced newbie game the scum are all newbies trust the experienced players. Meanwhile not once this game did I think Serela was town outside of his claim and even then I began to saw through it.

Post by: Fabloo on April 26, 2020, 08:58:53 AM
You townread rai you can't townread him he hasn't done anything. Rip rai he's not giving up yet.  If there's one scum out there he either hasn't posted or he hasn't seen what happened. Let's talk hypothetical if it's just one. Let's see
2 scum down. Assuming 1 more. Worst case scenario.

Scum needs majority to win.

10 alive.
Serela dead. Nightkill. D5
8 alive.
Mislynch. Nightkill. D6
6 alive.
Mislynch. Nightkill. D7
4 alive.
Mislynch. Nightkill. D8
2 alive.
Mislynch. Scum wins. D9

That's about.. 5 more phases? And Serela goes ahead and fire trucking outs himself as scum with only one member left? I don't care how good you are. If there's one scum alive in this scenario then Disquieted has to die here. Because he said it himself.  It's just free clears.

So Disquieted. One scum left right? Serela just throws for his mate in a last ditch effort with a jailkeeper apparently around that just confirms clears?
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Four)
Post by: Disquieted on April 26, 2020, 09:08:26 AM
Ok but really.

If I'm alive when there are five people left I'll lynch myself. That's not going to happen because scum have to kill me tonight. So are we done or are you going to keep arguing into the ether over my dead body tomorrow, even after TBZ reaffirms exact backup to my role? You're clutching at straws just so you can feel like you're right and I'd be more sympathetic and less brutal if it wasn't about me.

It's getting really tiring having to be tunnelled by one person every single day. I put up with it so that I didn't die when NNR did it, but I'm literally the only protective role in the game that has a backup and you still want to tunnel me. Serela's going to flip scum roleblocker and you're still going to believe the scumteam have a jailkeeper as well when there is literally no reason for scum to protect from a kill, we don't have a vig except for the piddly one shot you have.

There's no reason for this. Literally none. The answer to your question is that Serela has had enough and is tilted out of his mind that someone who isn't even playing the game led to his downfall. Anything else you add is for your own agenda and your own agenda only.

Really irritated by this.

You know I could claim you're a third party that wants to prolong this game more and is why you're trying to aim for an extension by attacking for an extra mislynch. But I don't, cause this really isn't necessary, we can easily find the last scum after this and maybe we'll lynch one of you in f7 just in case. So are you done trying to stick a sword in someone who's about to die or are you just gonna spam the thread with nonsense?
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Four)
Post by: Fabloo on April 26, 2020, 09:14:02 AM

Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Four)
Post by: Disquieted on April 26, 2020, 09:16:17 AM
Holy strawberries dude.

Nucleus said 3 when he was guessing scumteams, it's likely going to be 3. It doesn't matter either way cause when we lynch Serela we can still keep looking for a fourth if the third doesn't end the game, all that matters is there's an extra mafia in the game. I still die cause I'm the scariest role in the game for the scumteam, and if I don't it doesn't matter cause if you believe there are four mafia there's one other besides me and again, if we lynch the third and I don't die immediately I'll kill myself first.

This is getting nowhere.

Look at him. Look what he said.

You literally pointed out that the inactive slot is probably town cause he got into a slapfight with one of the craziest scum members on this side of the planet and replaced out cause of it. You phrased it in such a way that TBZ was lock town.

The dude already is in a tough spot because someone literally cannot read his role pm. If I'm scum and I'm in Serela's position I'd be fire trucking pissed. I wouldn't out but I'd probably just leave and never come back to be honest.

There's nothing else to it. This isn't some elaborate scum gambit. He thinks he's toasted today.

I now feel bad and I shouldn't have said anything. Got caught up, I suppose.

Game's hard. I might go back and look over Serela and Nucleus "spew" later. Or just try and remember it off the top of my head.

Yaersulf doesn't call out the double backup gambit as mafia when it's actually happening. To me he's basically cleared, I think.

There's some weird votal analysis you could make, cause on Day 2 Daiya was a wagon, Nucleus was a wagon, Serela was a wagon, I was a wagon. Kind of thinking about the ups and downs of the wagons off the top of my head. I should take a look back at Tom's charts, honestly.

Mmm. Raikaria's super towny. As usual. I hate this. Daiya please tell me you have something that you can remember that you interacted with Nucleus or Serela in some way.

---

So what is up with these nightkills? They make a bit more sense now. N1, let's say the scum were scared of a doc dodge on the masons, and they had equity not killing a power role cause of Nucleus's claim. zwerdjib is fine. N2, they avoid all power roles cause Serela is claimed, so they hit NNR. N3, Serela has to kill Tom to know what he's doing in the night.

Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Four)
Post by: Fabloo on April 26, 2020, 11:51:15 PM
Serela had a weird leave to this game. This whole thing is slightly unsettled. There are some defined traits however. That Nucleus death in particular is quiet a bit telling. You had Nucleus at death's door and then Disquieted/Serela both decided to try and get a wagon going on him. Listen. I've been trying to bury Disquieted for a while but this won't be pt. 2 of that.

Serela made it clear that he gave up because Banana got confirmed town through Bardiche. Alright. Fine. I want to look at that Nucleus and his own lynch. In specific #1600-#1636.

Grabbing the final votecount again.

Quote
NucleusWaffles (8): Yaersulf, sb, BigBangMeteor, PX, Fabloo, Daiya, NekoNekoRex, NucleusWaffles (Hammer+1!)
banana spritzee (2): Disquieted, Serela
Disquieted (2): banana spritzee, Tom

Daiya is strange here. Though the votecount previously was about 15 minutes to deadline and Banana was starting to gain a bit of traction. What I see right now in this votecount is that if scum were on it? They were early. Think Yearsulf/SB/BBM. I'm also accounting to the idea that's it's two here. This can be wrong but again I cannot see Serela doing what he did with a single partner left. I mean. Bare in mind that the deadline was extended and there was plenty of time to keep talking. Disquieted looks even worse. Everytime I bring this up he pivots from it. BBM is right in that you can't convince scum you're scum. NOw that we've got Serela's flip it's going to take a bit of unraveling to truly understand what the fire truck was happening right here.

Does Yaersulf just park his vote on Nucleus despite all the noise going on? Be the first there as well? See what shocks me about all this is that somehow. Somehow? Both scum cc'd each other. This is so unprecedented and insane. Maybe Serela wanted the credit and the clear.

Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Four)
Post by: Fabloo on April 27, 2020, 12:03:51 AM
I'm now going to consider this in two routes:

1. The easy route. Disquieted and BBM are our other PRs. You lynch Daiya/Yearsulf/sb the game is won. Disquieted jails Daiya go off results. IThinking about it in terms of our numbers. a situation where there is two scum it looks like this.

9 alive now. Nightkill.
8 alive on D5. Mislynch (7) Nightkill (6).
6 alive on D6. This is now MYLO with two scum remaining. If there is a mislynch we lose.
4 alive. Scum ties for majority game over. Scum isn't losing as hard you people expect with this in mind. They have to push two bad lynches. That's it.

With this in mind? They have the ammunition. Serela posed the question why I'm not dead yet? What's the point in killing the masons. You need kills that aren't traceable and you need to targets to accuse. In the situation that I'm wrong this is still true. Dormio and NNR also survived for a very long time because two clears matter more as the game goes on.

2. The hard route. The PRs aren't what they seem and scum is way more clever than we're giving them credit. I'm just going to say that I strongly believe in the hard route. Yes I get it. Serela can indeed do what he did and not have it exactly line up with BBM/Disquieted. Everything he said isn't worth reading into the moment he claimed scum. Before that though? That's what I'm trying to figure out. I want you guys to look very closely at these numbers regardless.


Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Four)
Post by: Fabloo on April 27, 2020, 12:27:16 AM
So looking through Serela warrants half-results. I'm mixing up my words and my head kinda hurts. Trying to be coherent.

I don't think it's worth getting into a theory after mulling it over. I just hope that if things don't work out that the ideas that I have are imprinted onto this game before it's too late. If it's too late. It really.

It really fire trucks with my head that somehow scum double cc'd each other.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Four)
Post by: Fabloo on April 27, 2020, 12:34:37 AM
To reiterate.

Disquieted/BBM real? Lynch Daiya/Yaersulf/SB. I keep thinking both have to be real by the way. There's a very clear indication of BBM saying jail in his crumb d2. Then Disquieted confirmed it. Keep forgetting rai there but yeah. If that's real then I trust their ability to win. However.

If not? You get the point. I'm not going to say this is how it is and if you don't agree you're wrong.  The sinking feeling I've felt is like this alienable loneliness. Not many times did I feel like the active content was town trying to figure things out. I remember posing a question if scum is working overtime or not.

I have to say that scum did not play this well at all if it is just yknow. Easy. I swear I've said that so many times. Just sitting there thinking is it that easy? My hubris is trying to be prepared for situations that might not be true.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Four)
Post by: Fabloo on April 27, 2020, 01:05:09 AM
Ugh what frustrates me and what puts me in a loop is this.

BBM directly saw Disquieted jailing me. Alright. OK. Fine.

Here is why BBM/Disquieted cannot just have one scum. Here is why one of them can't be town and the other can be scum. They have direct links to one another by the information they've claimed and how it's been claimed.

1) BBM as a scum voyeur saw the jail and then used it to fakeclaim. This is unlikely because with a roleblocker and rolecop this would just but a very weak and almost useless variant.
2) Disquieted as a scum jailkeeper..jailed me N1? This is unlikely because it is again some strange variant of already flipped roles. Jailkeeper also protects and there's few times scum has their own protective and I mean. Roleblocking your own partner's actions. Not possible.

So we've ruled out that one of them could be scum and the other can't.

They have to both be real. If there is a direct contradiction the other cannot exist. We've established that a scum voyeur is stupid stacked with a Roleblocker/Rolecop. Also high unlikely. We've established Jailkeeper as a scum role is also stupid.

So. Let's just say BBM dies. He fliips scum. Not even voyeur. Why'd he confirm a town role and try to clear it?
Other situation. Disquieted dies. He flips scum. Why did BBM try to clear someone who was scum by claiming he was a jailkeeper?

Post by: Fabloo on April 27, 2020, 01:15:35 AM
So yeah. BBM/Disquieted are either your other PRs or they're not. Also a town flip of either confirms the existence of the other too.

Let's say they do kill Disquieted. BBM is a clear voyeur. Other way around? Same effect. Oh and let's not forget Disquieted is still rolling with the idea that Banana is his backup. They kill Disquieted we still have a "Jailkeeper." It's suicide. Complete suicide. They have to kill BBM here. I predict they're going to go after me and PX very soon however.

See and then you have Banana in this picture too. Disquieted/Banana/BBM all being scum together doesn't exist because that's 6 scum.

Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Four)
Post by: Fabloo on April 27, 2020, 01:46:36 AM
Rambling rambling.

BBM. You didn't listen to me last time and that kinda upset me but I'm going to write in this paragraph under the assumption you're real.

You shouldn't just voyeur Disquieted. I think that's a waste. If you're real you'll see he was there a kill on them and then we're nowhere.There's no roleblocker alive and there's no rolecop. I'm running under the assumption this is all we got in terms of PR. I mean yeah Yaersulf/Rai/Daiya all claimed vanilla remember? You should voyeur my sister. Actually do it this time.

Disquieted I think Daiya jailkeeper is fine in hindsight but I really think you should jail me. I know this comes around to protecting me and my sister but. I'll have a Daycop by D7. We still have a no lynch available to us as well if it comes to MYLO. We can basically checkmate scum. I don't think it will possible to block the kill and I think if Daiya was alone as scum after Serela did that he'd just give up too.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Four)
Post by: Fabloo on April 27, 2020, 05:59:46 AM
Had another thought. Keep going back here thinking about not leaving any page unturned.

I forget to mention an ability of mine. Actually it's more of a passive If I'm alive I can see if it's LYLO/MYLO. There's a catch to this however. I need to make it to D6. This is because by D6 all of my actions will still affect the game even if I die. I think this is crucial in determining if it's one scum left or two, which in turn will help us make a better decision.

Had some other thoughts.

OK So something just striked me right now. Serela kept his vote planted on Nucleus through the majority of the ending day on D2. This seems to me like Serela was clearly trying to get towncred but then things backfired and a counter-wagon was beginning to mount o him. I think Serela got to about L-1.

First of all. Serela I'm sorry to say and I'm not trying to bring you down by why would you cc your own partner there. Why not just let him take the fall and then reap the rewards of such. That still will continue to fire trucking confuse me. That D2 was so odd. To see that two scum members were both the leading wagons is. Actually absurd. Completely completely absurd.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Four)
Post by: Fabloo on April 27, 2020, 07:56:44 AM
If we're talking about Nucleus defending me, it's out of sorts but there is no way I come out on Day 2, place a vote on Nucleus first and ask him to evaluate his role and still be suspicious of it later to the point where I'm forgoing mechanically correct choices to just want to personally lynch Nucleus anyways.

I also knew Serela was soft counterclaiming it and made sure to let Serela stay at L-2 so I could be certain of it instead of letting a quickhammer on him.

I'm not with Nucleus. This isn't really helping considering 3/4 of the game isn't with Nucleus but it exists.

Why Disquieted why. Why are you so. Scummy. Why.

BBM. Disquieted. Why have you two been buddying each other and defending each other so much. Listen I get a position where you have a voyeur results on Disquieted being the jailkeeper. But it's just insane. The amount you two go to defend each other is just absurd. I can get some rationale from you BBM. I wouldn't think two scum would CC each other and then just start thinking things were fine.

Quote from: Disquieted
That's me to the letter, including my flavour. Interesting development.

Also I failed last night. Not familiar with the MOTK interface so I just noticed, sorry.

So you failed and got roleblocked by Serela? The flipped roleblocker? Wait but hold on.

Hold the fire truck. On.


BBM. Didn't you say that you targeted Serela again and you saw nothing?

Quote from: BBM
anyways serela wasn't targeted by any actions but given he was told to target a flipped vanilla we don't really know he didnt just make it up on the spot.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Four)
Post by: Fabloo on April 27, 2020, 08:05:11 AM
In case you viewers at home didn't notice.

BBM "voyeurs" Serela again. He has just claimed nothing affected him.
Disquieted says he failed. A jailkeeper generally protects and roleblocks someone.

Now look. Serela is Roleblocker. He just flipped it. The Roleblocker and supposed jailkeeper just went on each other and BBM sees nothing.

That. Can't. Make. Sense. Unless they nullified each other?

Disquieted says he tried to target Yaersulf. Fine. Fine. Says it failed. OK that means Serela directly targeted Disquieted? Don't see why else it fails.

BBM voyeurs Serela. Nothing shown. OK. Sure. This all matches up.

If both town? I think I'd thin it down to Yaersulf/Daiya here.

Post by: BigBangMeteor on April 28, 2020, 12:35:50 AM
Dormio confirmed to me that my action should have failed.

Fabloo I want to say this in the nicest way possible. Your investment and effort into this game is really commendable, especially for a newer player. That being said you're making the mistake of putting too much effort into the game. Yes, that's possible. There's a point of effort beyond which you're actually worsening your reads because you've thought about the game so much you start thinking about really implausible scenarios rather than what's obvious. I've done it before (SB probably remembers 100% OJ)

Short of being an innocent child, smartbomb is basically as confirmed town as it is possible to be. For him to be scum, town would have to have no protective role, banana would need to know the flavour of his role, and I would have to be lying. So basically the game would have to be 10/5 with town having no protective role. Writing posts on whether he's scum is a waste of your time that you could use to look at others or give yourself a break from the game, a waste of everyone else's time in that we have to read and respond to those posts, and quite honestly lowers your credibility because you're pushing him.

Disquieted is Leeza, the Disciple of Eldeel.

2)Scum tried to kill Daiya and was failed due to jailkeeper

3)Scum idled kill

it doesn't do anything lol. my role was already proven and the fact that you guys cant be targeted starting N4 does nothing to prove your alignment either. I don't currently think you're third party but might think that if daiya and raikaria both end up town.

And why would Daiya go ahead with the kill as scum anyways?

if he's the last scum left? it's possible scum idled the kill but unless you guys are third party that just isn't a recipe for success in the long-term even if we ML daiya.

I don't know. Look at what's going on right now. you have 5 hypothetical PRs  (Me, PX, You, Disquieted, Banana) and your kill didn't go through. Everyone suspects you and you were told that the jailkeeper was gonna jail you. If you're last scum you don't win this game. I understand what you're saying about me but I want you to understand something.

. You have directly confirmed Disquieted here by seeing his action. Serela just went and exploded and lynched himself because we weren't going to lynch Banana. The person who Disquieted says is his backup.

If this is true? Then yeah. What's a lone scum going to do to survive that? Is there some rule on being able to idle the kill? That should be clarified.

For one, if I was scum I'd get mad at Dormio and only privately. Although I suppose you would be right after Serela's antics yesterday, scum would just get super frustrated.

For two, if there's one scum left that's just big meme.

If you made that ability up as scum that's nigh incredible to fake btw.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Five)
Post by: Fabloo on April 28, 2020, 01:24:22 AM
Yeah the masons somehow just live forever and I get a free daycop that can't be blocked in two phases. PX gets a vigil by N7. Also I get to see if it's LYLO/MYLO so we'd learn if two scum were alive anyways.

It's alll really strange and I've felt like this weight on my shoulders thinking from a balance perspective we must be the sole power leading the game as town.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Five)
Post by: Fabloo on April 28, 2020, 01:26:36 AM
I've also noticed that some roles based on flavor just happened to be paired together. I literally just need Banana to say what his flavor is and then I'm pretty sure you two have to be town together. Or there's 3 scum which. No way.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Five)
Post by: Daiya on April 28, 2020, 01:30:55 AM
ah, guess that's an option too. i could see fabloo taking prio over sb given how his role's snowballing rn.

under the assumption that our PRs are town, that leaves the vanilla pool. push me if you want, idt we'd lose too much advantage from lynching me here. still prefer the other two taking prio, though. you know how it is.

i'm gonna read into yaer/rai, see which one i'm more comfortable with voting.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Five)
Post by: BigBangMeteor on April 28, 2020, 01:33:10 AM
Yeah I agree that if there was just one scum left they would probably give up. I think honestly it means there are either two scum or you guys are thirds lol.

Idk what you want me to say fabloo fmpov your roles are ridiculous. Although you probably shouldn't have survived this long off the top of my head these may be the strongest roles relative to the rest of the field that I've ever seen town have if you guys are legit.

I would lynch raikaria or daiya before yaersulf btw. Yaersulf was being pushed by nucleus for most of D1 and I feel like a player playing scum for the first time probably doesn't decide to start off by casing their buddy?

I think raikaria is more likely to be scum than daiya tbh there just isn't really anything that points to him being town if the d2 wagons were scum/scum. Daiya has just sounded a little townier to me with his attitude today.

Post by: Fabloo on April 28, 2020, 01:36:27 AM
We are legit and it's very dumb. And I mean this when I say you guys are probably legit too or did such incredible amount of prep in the way you claimed your role. There is a very clear "jail" in your post mentioning me and smartbomb in it on D2. It's now been confirmed that your action failed on me and you used something. I guess my thought would be scum having a strongman? Then Id' just think you'd just use it to kill Disquieted or something. I'd just be impressed. Now I just wanna see what's the entire truth.

I'm down with the idea of lynching Daiya, Raikaria, or myself. Less so with lynching myself than the other two obviously. Personally I'd lean towards Daiya tentatively, though that's without any re-reading. Can't remember Daiya doing anything that really leant credence to him being town? As far as I remember Raikaria had something meaning he was likely not scum, was it Disquieted or something that said that? I honestly can't remember.

I just woke up and Daiya's at L-1?

I suppose that makes some sense if Dayia was jailed. Assumeing this is a 3-scum game. If it's a 4-scum game then Scum!Daiya might not have needed to submit the nightkill and could have been the attempted nightkill target.

Also these masons are stupid OP to the point it feels like they're ruining this game.

I think raikaria is more likely to be scum than daiya tbh there just isn't really anything that points to him being town if the d2 wagons were scum/scum. Daiya has just sounded a little townier to me with his attitude today.

Except I really heavily pushed the Waffles wagon even before the wagons were Waffles v Serela.

And I was calling the Scum v Scum possibility from ED3.

Unless my strategy is to actively encourage Town to kill off my teammates, I think it's a little bit of a stretch to say I'm scum.

I mean you could just jail me tonight as well. Unless scum decides to idle or kill me despite my claim of Vanillia Townie and my public request for jail.

Actually wait a moment.

Just in the process of re-reading Daiya.

Daiya seemed very reluctant to lynch Waffles, but he was on the Serela wagon. And I would think given the choice, Scum!Daiya would rather lynch Waffles over Serela.

He also expressed wanting to look further into both Serela and Waffles during Day 1.

Based on interactions with the flipped scum on it's own, I'm actually not sold on Daiya being scum.

Thing is; I don't see the benefit of scum attacking a jailed Daiya, or idleing. OK; they get a mislynch... but they sacrificed their factional kill.

Except; Serela's frustration seems to suggest his scummates may not be the most logical. Or perhaps they called the bluff on the jail.

I don't think we should rush this Daiya lynch. The interactions don't seem to make much sense. If I was scum, I'd rather Waffles gets lynched in a Serela-Waffles scum v scum case. I know saying that looks bad for me, but then you account for me asking about the possibilities of Serela/Waffles being scum v scum [and being right!] and why would I bring that up as scum.

Here's a question:

Why are people saying Yaersulf cannot be scum? I'd say him being scum might explain Serela's meltdown somewhat if his scumteam are all newbies.

Post by: Disquieted on April 28, 2020, 07:00:42 AM
It still bothers me that we have a bevy of town roles.

I'm definitely not doubting the masons at this point, Fabloo in particular caused Serela to collapse. No matter how much I feel about how insane their roles are.

Even ignoring BBM as a power role (and we should regardless, voyeur sux) that's a lot of stuff. Two masons with stuff, a reporter and two jailkeepers is pretty good.

Just kinda ???. Is this the 4 scum world and if so, why did they deliberately shoot in the jail whether or not Daiya is scum. I guess they could've shoot PX or Fabloo though. If it's 3 scum what the hell does this final scum have lol.

Cut by what Rai just posted. I have thoughts about it, will post in an hour. I don't think it necessarily clears Daiya though, but thanks for putting in the legwork.

Jailed Daiya. Lol, is that it?

Is the factional kill mandatory?

Doesn’t matter, we’re on even numbers so I’m pretty sure this is optimal.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Five)
Post by: Disquieted on April 28, 2020, 08:15:48 AM
Alright, well, here’s my view on things having read nothing.

Yaersulf has significant interactions with Nucleus when he wasn’t even close to being lynched and when most of the thread was fine discrediting him being weird. Yaersulf has also just been a consistent presence and I’m not ready to go there yet if he has something that just feels right over other options.

Been reading what you said, rai. I couldn’t really say what determines the motives of the scumteam at D2. Like I could say Serela’s telling the truth but even if he is something’s gotta give cause he either spewed Daiya town or his actions are like, the only one that correletates with Serela’s chosen agenda? So.

Regardless the point is that your opinion of what scum should’ve done in that end of day doesn’t necessarily have to be the opinion of the scum at that end of day. We don’t exactly know what the agenda was; Serela claims he was trying to lynch himself to give Nucleus more towncred, but was it coordinated with the rest of scum, who knows. Honestly put I wouldn’t be surprised if the third (fourth?) had just run off to a nuclear bunker and taken a nap. There wasn’t much time left.

We could say the scum there were panicked and wishing to do anything but. That involves emotion, not much knowledge of their end goals though.

Does that make sense?

Taking a nap. When I wake up I might look through those day 1 interactions you mentioned, rai.

Oh, I guess Masons could’ve stopped it.

Mason JoaTs/Reporter/JK/Backup JK/Voyeur sounds like a lot but realistically we don’t have much night power going at the same time, especially if Masons die. Iirc Fabloo said that one Mason dying disables the other too? One of these roles being scum definitely isn’t enough power to handle 4 mafia so optimal play is to kill vanilla claims, realistically.

Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Five)
Post by: sb on April 28, 2020, 08:44:14 AM
Actually, I lied and we’re on odd numbers.

The other explanation for no kill is that scum is dead lol and the Masons are just the third party threats now.

I would like to think that me not claiming at this point would still be worthwhile but it seemed to tilt Serela, so I’ll claim the moral victory and just say I’m VT now.

Realistically all of the power roles are townie, even before taking balance into account. We have 5 alive so realistically our path to victory should just be lynching through the rest of the VT pool regardless, I think lynching a PR here is throwing.

I probably need to reread D2 to figure out what’s up there.

Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Five)
Post by: Disquieted on April 28, 2020, 11:26:51 AM
Gonna write a few notes here.

BBM takes note of two posts Nucleus made at different times on Day 1, where Nucleus says to avoid lynching lurkers then decides to want to lynch lurkers. Given that Yaersulf would've been considered a lurker and I believe his major push of Bardiche just got sympathy, this probably looks good for Yaersulf and Nucleus wanted to cut his losses. But idk, maybe reading too much into it.

Polaris thought Serela's vote changing is bad for strange reasons, which probably means he's town.

Nucleus mentioned Serela as hardly an impression. Nucleus mentions the masons in not a good light, I don't see this being aligned.

I'm reading Yaersulf's push on Nucleus, it really comes out of nowhere. I put a pressure vote and walked away. Yaersulf actually pushed hard on Nucleus for being fluffy. They have a conversation but Yaersulf keeps trying to push into Nucleus instead of having it be more of a very amicable reaction that would be very hard to fake.

I'm trying to think about Yaersulf forcing Nucleus to claim in that position. As we know, Polaris poked Nucleus once and he fell over after a while but he was very opaque early on. I feel like when Yaersulf (and I) asked, Nucleus just wasn't prepared at all and I feel like as scumbuddies Yaersulf wouldn't have poked there unless he asked Nucleus for preparation. It's very weak but it's a thought.

Quote
I do still think Daiya is scummy but BBM's argument otherwise (based on the yaersult/meow wagon interactions lateday) is decent. I'm still kind of interested in voting them because I think an newbie scum is still likely to flop around where they think is best? And yaersulf seemed to be straight up trolling enough yesterday even while they were the biggest wagon that I wouldn't be surprised if they're scum either so "well this makes the most sense if daiya/yaersulf are scumbuddies" is an argument that wouldn't deter me with neither flipped. (later he says daiya's town for not trying to push a waffle vote at the start of d1:I think this is trying a bit hard to find clear reasons, voting nucleus over that is I think a generally bad idea for any alignment because it's simply not scummy, especially from someone on their first game)

This is what Serela says about Daiya. Gonna squint at it for a while. The "yaersulf trolling" narrative seems to be taken straight from NNR, but I don't really think Yaersulf was trolling and I don't think Yaersulf thought he was trolling either. This is a fairly tortuous read on someone and doesn't rule them out being partners, most importantly we were considering back on Day 2 that scum were hiding behind BBM's read of Daiya and here it is, in proof.

Quote
I would have rather lynched Daiya but meow and yaersulf were presented as the only realistic options. I TRIED to push Daiya over them a second time when like 3 people said "hmm or we could lynch daiya instead tho" but it didn't work :C Yaersulf doesn't look GREAT and I wouldn't have entirely minded but Daiya looked like, actually kind of scummy which is a lot better? I hopped off Meow because they came back with a comparatively pretty good post while Yaersulf flopped around trolling.

I feel like I need to keep an eye on this, cause I don't believe Serela actually went to Daiya at any point or engaged him at all. But I must admit this feels good on a surface level.

Quote
That being said, I think disquieted has like... no real scumhunting stance? Their exclusive scumread is still Daiya. I mean, I AGREE with Daiya looking scummy, but also, calling daiya scummy takes no actual thread analysis or effort and that's pretty much where the content ends- ontop of being a waffley non-presence on D1 who'd write up things and then never take them anywhere or come up with actual significant opinions.

And I can't believe I didn't catch this earlier. Jesus christ what is this. Like I just basically ignore the meat of whoever calls me scum and that's probably to my detriment but way to stick to a scumread, Serela. It's like you didn't really care about it in the first place. I'm talking about Daiya of course.

Hrm. Still thinking, posting this for now.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Five)
Post by: Disquieted on April 28, 2020, 11:28:55 AM
As an extra point, in this post Serela just calls Nucleus flat town, no descriptors even after Yaersulf and I put a bit of shade on him. In context this is probably defendable cause Nucleus is a claimed PR. But it's I guess important to know how a player views their known teammates, it helps as control.

Anyways. Let me write more.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Five)
Post by: Disquieted on April 28, 2020, 11:41:19 AM
Raikaria just posted "why is zwerdjib the nightkill"? I feel like that's something scum don't really draw attention to. Yeah. Scum are just happy they shot a PR, they don't really question the underlying "why". It's a complexity thing, I think. Loose but. Raikaria does go off the path into who suspected zwerdjib but I feel like if I was scum!raikaria I'd just lead it back into ammunition for his scum!masons case. And like, raikaria is thinking that at the time. But he doesn't use it. You'd think as like, a coherent scumplayer with a distinct agenda he wouldn't drop it instead of using it to suspect the masons. Just a thought.

BBM is a bit hedgy on Serela, which is fine, I can't really point either way on it. But it's whatever, I think it's a believable thought process. Just gonna note it is hedge for those purists out there and move on. Hrm, I do like how Serela immediately responds to BBM though. You don't respond to your scumbuddies instantly like that...? You kind of ignore what your scumbuddies say to each other especially if it's so complex like what BBM writes. Mm.

Polaris I believe raises a very good point on Serela which means he would be flat bussing at this point, and I'm not sure what the strategical advantage to that would be.

raikaria raises out a post from Serela about how his vote on me could apply to basically everyone; I feel like scum/scum interaction like this isn't this clumsy. But I'm not exactly sold on it.

BBM's readswall is like, fine, I guess. It's off but I will say putting Serela in his own tier is a fairly bold move and I can reconcile it as scum/scum but it just feels more likely a town thing that happens rather than a scum thing that happens.

There's a lot of questions from Polaris about Serela's push on Daiya. Something seems off about it. Let me cut for a while and examine it, let's say Polly found something, hrm.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Two)
Post by: Disquieted on April 28, 2020, 11:43:47 AM
Oh right, BBM. Here’s the deal;

- There is nothing in the scumbook that says they can’t give townreads or townshields. Even if NucleusWaffle is town - which I’m kind of squinting at given the conversation we had last night - Daiya has given one strong townread in the entire game. From a scum!Daiya perspective, he has approximately 10 or so Town people to try and lynch, maybe he just doesn’t want to lynch the claimed PR.

- Take it from any sort of perspective. You’re at the end of the day and you have town town wagons. You know this cause you’re mafia. What’s the correct play to do here?

Trick question. There isn’t one. You can do whatever you want. Nobody cares. In fact the correct play from all alignments is to consolidate on meow, cause why wouldn’t you? Like walk through what Daiya gains from staying on Yaersulf.

To be clear, none of this means he’s scum cause of it. But you asked me to respond to the reasons you townread him.

So apparently what I'm looking at is a misunderstanding or something so I moved past and

fire truck I made this post.

BBMMMMMMMM

I'm going into deja vu oh my god I remember now Daiya made like three reads on D1 and one of them was a big fat NUCLEUS TOWN lol this game
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Two)
Post by: Disquieted on April 28, 2020, 11:49:54 AM
So let's talk about a few pieces of confidence that I have so we can get things in perspective.

NNR is town. I'm going to ignore everything he's doing and focusing on the fact that he really thinks I'm pushing him because of his character. It means he cares about his character in a towny manner, and I don't want to spend more than the necessary time on this.

Raikaria is probably town for a similar virtue that he doesn't actually know how alignments are going to be set in this game. Honestly, I don't know either, and maybe the good guys are town or whatever. Who knows. But Rai doesn't really know. So let's stop here before going into the mess that is people's posts and reads.

Then we have people who have posted stuff. I'm still getting townvibes off BBM right now, how he's talking sounds like he's being genuine and he is struggling and if I'm being snowed, that's on me. I'll sort this out later.

Then we have Tom. Now I can plot what he's doing but he's really taken a very lazy seat in this game and I can plot it out from a town perspective but it is significantly worse than yesterday, he's posted graphs and naked voted people and that's it. This may be because he got basically made fun of on Day 1 as town, instead of being mafia and phoning it in. He needs to improve.

There's also this post:
Which is, uh incredibly problematic. How this is problematic is best left up as an exercise to the reader.

We have Banana Spritzee who I don't really trust with his entrance, not going to lie. Bardiche was very very town, but Banana Spritzee is playing the AWOL card and not caring what's going on and I refuse to let that sort of behaviour fly, especially since that's also what he does as scum. It's nonsense. He's also got some weird balance of knowing what's going on but trying to pretend he doesn't care? It's hard to describe, call tomorrow.

Neither player has lost enough towncred to be a consideration for me right now. I will lynch Banana Spritzee cause if he doesn't play games I can be more than irritable regardless of how I feel about Bardiche. But let's move on, this is me complaining, either they do something or they won't and I'll complain regardless.

Yaersulf is someone I'm surprised isn't getting more attention right now and it's really adding to this strange state that Fabloo is talking about. Like, I'm not against it, cause Yaersulf's reaction to Fabloo's secret stuff is very townie and makes sense cause you don't get upset at a supposed cop claiming you yourself are guilty unless you're town, right? That's how that ended up. But that's just been accepted as kosher. And I guess I'll just use this as a thought about how scum don't really feel like taking initiative this game. It's a very out there read that involves a lot of the circumstances in this game but yeah. I don't think a mislynch is being pushed by scum, they're just letting town push other town and not even trying to open up other options. Whether that's sheeping other cases or just not having the thread presence, who knows. Maybe that might be a good observation for other people.

I don't feel like Serela is scum, but I can't exactly say Serela is town. If Polaris is assessing Serela's scum meta properly, well... meh. This is kind of a locked door for me and I really don't know how to judge him, and quite honestly I'm running out of scumreads, so he'll reside here until I think more about either Banana Spritzee or Tom.

We have Polaris, who I will leave in this category because this is the Polaris category. That is all.

And so that leaves a few people left. I feel like properly examining Daiya makes sense once everyone's given more than lipservice to him, so that'll wait. I have further comments on him that I need to nail down looking at him again though.

And I still don't know what to make of NucleusWaffles. It's not the "man this guy is weird" category. It's something else. When someone doesn't consider himself a town PR (assumedly cause he says he's weak, but how does he even have a judge of that? This is his first game!), when someone doesn't die on N1 - like say the mafia is dodging a doc. Zwerdjib's a pretty natural doc dodge for a multitude of reasons, but why wouldn't you hit the weakest town PR? If zwerdjib wasn't the tracker the night would've been questionable.

Every post he makes is word salad yes, but if you actually try and read his posts... nothing of consequence is really said. I don't need a summary of the game, I need thoughts on the game. Maybe that's just his thing. I have doubts.

This isn't even getting into the role part of him. That's something I don't want to push too much on my own for obvious reasons. But I have problems with that as well. If he's a flavourcop, why doesn't he just say what his results are? That's only one of the many questions that I'd like to ask but won't.

I like disqbomb's last post. Need to think about a few things.

Unvote, for now.

So Daiya what did you like about this post?
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Two)
Post by: Disquieted on April 28, 2020, 11:56:47 AM
Also, in defense of Serela, Serela seems serene and a genuinely nice person despite being screamed at by everyone for being useless. Why must you all bully him so?

these are the posts I'm looking for (not actually). seriously speaking, most people are nice and we're mostly all friends here so whether someone is nice isn't a good way to read them.

statistics can be useful on a bigger game sample size (it's way too much effort to collect such statistics in a concrete numerical way but that's essentially what meta is). they're not really very useful inside of a single game because there's too many factors. if you want you can go through every player's posts individually and ctrl+f every other player and write down how many times they mention that player. what would that really tell you?

bard wouldn't have subbed out just because he was under some attention. bard is an experienced enough player that he wouldn't be put off by a few ED1 votes. i think he was legitimately just upset.

everything sucks. thinking of going back to raikaria but I don't sense other people are on board with that and don't feel confident enough in it to be able to convince other people anyways. want to see what raikaria posts today.

feels like a lot of the new players react in townish ways under pressure but are kind of coasting otherwise? nucleus i don't think is coasting exactly but takes a lot of words to say not a lot of stuff.

This is kind of insane for BBM to quote as a scumbuddy. He's taking Nucleus obviously hard defending Serela here and directly responding to it saying the read is good. If you've ever played as scum I feel like this is the sort of thing you try and avoid. Like. Just think about it for a while.

You're BBM. You're scum. You've got Serela and Nucleus on your team. Both of them are pretty wacky in their own ways, you're trying to get them to play. Nucleus comes up with a read and he hard defends your buddy. Why do you bring attention to it?

Naturally the easiest thing is to drive the overall point in that Serela is more cute than anything. But in my experience, all people who play scum are cowards and if you're playing scum it's both not the thing you think of in the moment (it's such a small equity manipulation gain!) and you're too busy trying to play the game.

Also BBM, if he's mafia, isn't going to be directing the flow of the thread, he's not going to try and force his teammates as town. He's going to try and act town. That's my personal read of him. And this doesn't fit that characteristic.

Mm. Mafia's interesting.

ok while I remember

daiya being not-a-newbie (which honestly I only knew once they said it today) actually amkes the lurky scumminess worse

i thought they were improving comign into today when they started posting but it hasn't continued

this is also pretty lynchable

i'd probably rather do this than tom for likelihood of flipping scum compared to first-game-tom but they do both need to be lynche honestly

Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Five)
Post by: Disquieted on April 28, 2020, 12:08:25 PM
I'm staring at Nucleus's posts, trying to consider what his mind is at. He defends Serela so smoothly, I don't think he understands the concept of shade or bussing. He's really trying to defend Serela, and Serela's in an awkward spot. There's no ifs or buts with his statements. I... feel like he doesn't bus or shade.

I'm considering whether all of his pushes are town. I... think it's reasonably likely. Protecting Serela like that takes a distinct personality and that sort of personality probably just tries to keep his entire team alive.

That obviously points in one direction. Hrm. This is kinda bunk cause Daiya was his fakeclaim and he decided to add the weak modifier onto it which means he should've been townreading Daiya hard with his narrative, though who knows when he decided to make it up that it's weak. But it's a thing, and I feel like it clears enough people. Did he really push the entire game at some point except Daiya, myself, and the two masons? Kind of yikes. Hrm he didn't push Polaris but I don't think that's a big deal.

I think I'm done for the night, this is a lot of work and I'm tired. I don't want to lose sleep over this.

You generated a lot of ~content~ that deserves more attention than I have atm before I have to start working, but just a couple notes on what stood out to me. Sorry if this seems like cherry picking, I'll try to respond to these in more detail in the evening.

I don't think daiya being the first to point out nucleus town ed1 is super telling. Although there's obvious scum motivation in doing that I feel like I was thinking the same thing as town. That being said I guess daiya is the optimal lynch cuz he was jailed? But idk it feels wrong basing it just off the jail when PX and Fabloo were commuting as well.

I was also trying to think of whether any of the PRs are scum and tbh other than the masons being thirds it just doesn't make sense to me. Banana could maybe be third with a rolecop? But even so it feels very risky for him to basically CC someone as a claim though I guess he could be really out of it and inactive.

Also the thing with the masons being thirds is that our roles aren't that strong without them so it would need to be a really mediocre town in a 10/3/2 game? I thought of 11/2/2 with one team being scum with a traditional kill and the other team being thirds with gradually increasing powers. but on n3 the scumteam would have had to both hooked smartbomb and killed Tom, so that doesn't make sense since only serela was alive and motk generally doesn't let scum do both.

I think tbh dormio just didn't expect that both masons and JKs would survive to lategame and this game as it unfolded is pretty close to the best town scenario / this game is townsided.

Raikaria said that he started pushing nucleus before the wagons were scum/scum. This is true because serela wasn't much of a wagon at that point. But it was after nucleus claimed and serela soft-CCed so it was after the point where scum clearly made a choice to set up some roleclaim bussing so I feel like pushing nucleus at that point is not super telling. Raikaria's vote is also in response to a big post by nucleus pushing me and raikaria as buddies and voting raikaria, which reads very artificial in hindsight because he essentially hadn't spoken about me or raikaria being scum before at all and then comes out with this. It's also more in-depth than any case he'd made to that point.

Also if there are two scum left it's possible just both daiya and raikaria are scum lol.

I need to reread for serela interactions though I forgot to do that rip.

I think it's more telling than anything I picked out especially when if I remember Daiya had three reads Day 1, and his Nucleus read was the big one + the tom scumread. Sure, you might be thinking it as town, but your focus was not narrow in the slightest and you had to make a decision on Nucleus, as opposed to Daiya specifically choosing Nucleus. Nothing I write is strong though and I haven't done enough dilligence to consider where Daiya was. But it's certainly not a good look and if I was edgier I'd lock onto that hard.

I think some of the stuff that was awkward role-wise is that scum deliberately ignored both claimed masons and killed two vanilla town - in particular they aimed specifically at the one vanilla town that would've been an easy mislynch - so that's why this game seems easier. I guess zwerdjib's role wasn't really that and more of a named townie, if zwerdjib had claimed reporter it'd be a confusing claim overall. Same as yours probably BBM. That kind of leaves us with me as the hard investigative role tbfh and that's kind of ouch. And the masons whenever they feel like it or have the ability to do so. So, maybe if I squint this feels more fair.

Unrelatedly I think Fabloo or PX are fair kills last night and I wouldn't damn Daiya just based on the lack of kill, though what was Daiya's reaction to the lack of kill and my action claim?

cut by I don't know about Serela -> Daiya. I'm not going to let it weigh in too much, it's dangerous to, we should consider more evidence.

Yes I want you guys to understand my seated paranoia of the power roles knowing me and my sister combined have.

A one-shot Doctor.
A Flavor Cop.
A One-shot Vig.
All actions stop working on us by N4.
Our actions can't be stopped either.
A Governor.
The ability to silence all outside chats besides ours.
A daycop that publicly reveals someone's alignment.
An ability that gives everyone an extra vote and allows more lynches during that day as well.

This is out of order. Our powers snowballed. I want you guys to truly understand when you see how much power you have. You start to think from a balance perspective you have to be the sole power roles. This is the reason for my lunacy. This is why I sat there and told myself. Not to entirely accept the way things are. Trying to find the deeper meaning. Thinking there's no way so much could exist. Wondering how scum double cc'd each other.

It's not easy being a goddesss.

Post by: Fabloo on April 28, 2020, 04:49:43 PM
I hate to say this but I'm still leaving things out. A lot of them being our passives that just get better over time.

Zwerjdib was tracker though.

So town have

Voyeur (BBM)
Two supermasons (Fabloo, PX)
Jailkeeper (Disquieted)
Backup to Jailkeeper (Banana)
Tracker (Zwerdjib)

I also was thinking. Why does a Jailkeeper exist in tandem with us knowing by N4 we can't be targeted anymore. Why did the two flipped scum roles have direct correlation (Adol-Geis). Why do four town roles* have that some correlation as well (Feena-Reah. Leeza-Calilica.) Why was gender a mechanic? Why did scum double cc each other? Why. Why this game.

The only person who could really be scum here is BBM given he was the one who saw Disquieted jailing. I sat there and thought. Maybe they're pulling a fast one on me because again these roles but. Disquieted/Banana/BBM can't be a thing. BBM as town can't see Disquieted jailing as scum because a scum jailkeeper is a really bad role and would never exist.

My thought was BBM/Disquieted could've made something up and Banana was getting it confused who he was a backup for.  That's why I was pushing hard for his claim but lo and behold.

Maybe this is super wifom but I feel the mason claims have reached a point where if they were thirds they would be hiding more of the stuff lol

Besides worst case once the ability where we can MULTI LYNCH rolls around we just double lynch both of them pew pew

I don't really think of JK as a hard investigate role it doesn't really become one until lategame. Also hey voyeur might suck but technically I caught scum I just didn't follow my results.

I guess I'm leaning raikaria > daiya > yaersulf > sb?

After thinking about it more I feel like the Polaris/sb slot was just super instrumental towards the serela wagon d2 so I put them at the bottom.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Five)
Post by: BigBangMeteor on April 28, 2020, 05:08:18 PM
Tbf if scum hadn't been Galaxy braining themselves they kill the masons on n1 or n2 and we're just looking at some strawberriesty info roles and double jailkeepers.

Scum JK isn't bad but doesn't exist together with Hooker. I can't be scum because I've proven I knew a JK existed on D2. Scum wouldn't have both a voyeur and rolecop and if I were just BSing being a voyeur off rolecop results, we would have known smartbomb was the JK and killed him n2 over NNR. I guess it's plausible I could be third party?

I think it's kind of ??? that yesterday banana said he was just backup and it had something to do with a tower and today he knew specifically the person's name, after PX revealed the name. But again it doesn't really make sense unless banana is third party with a role/flavour cop.

We also don't really have anything that points to an extra kill so outside of the masons I'd be surprised if there was a third. ARSONIST is possible I suppose but arsonist sucks.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Five)
Post by: Fabloo on April 28, 2020, 05:22:24 PM
Yeah. I had a thought about Nucleus when it came to Yaersulf or even Yaersulf's behavior that I kept in the back of my mind. I just think that Yaersulf in general is self-aware in a way that shows his newbieness. Though he's used it as a position. I remember when Yaersulf stopped putting people at L-1 because he was told it's bad. I also remember early on how Yearsulf assumed he was bad and stupid yet was so keen on me being scum. This was the only push Yearsulf particularily made himself.

If you contrast how hard he was on my slot yet how. Passive? Maybe even friendly with Nucleus it doesn't make sense. Yearsulf was first on the wagon when Nucleus got lynched but there was no indication to me that Yearsulf even particularly cared what happened. Go look at Nucleus/Yaersulf talking around D2 and tell me if that isn't just new scum trying to distance each other awkwardly. It seems like Serela didn't even notice Yearsulf as time went on because if I'm Serela, I just don't talk about my partner if nobody else is. But in that same regard. Yearsulf wasn't really there to be pushed either. I know my vote is on Daiya but Serela had clear intent to want Daiya a good amount. Everyone did. You keep Daiya alive because he's always an option. You keep Yearsulf alive because he's an option.

But he never was an option. We all just stopped talking about him or even caring what he was doing. He was on the Tom wagoned that I governor'd also.

Here's what confuses me about D2. Serela is voting Nucleus and Yearsulf is there as well. Also just look at that D2 with Yearsulf basically hinting he understands what's going on admist the confusion. It's really concerning.

Fabloo, while I agree that Nucleus knowing about gender means something, I don't know if it means he's innocent.

Btw, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Serela being strangely quiet?

If you look at end of D2 Yearsulf does end up on Nucleus. I think what happened is that Serela instructed Yearsulf to vote off Nucleus instead and then Yearsulf was dropping hints he knew too much for a newbie. Like. Think about it now. Think about how we were all confused and Yearsulf can somehow see scum double cc'ing each other.

Just doesn't seem like there's much care or much thought into his vote. Then he just goes back to Nucleus as well. I'm not trying to guess what happened but. Serela probably saw town was mounting a kill on him. Their plans to bus Nucleus if needed fell through. Though I don't know if it was ever a bus rather just Yearsulf picking best option. If you notice that about Yearsulf as well is that he's always on the best wagon and option when needed. Nothing more nothing less. He lost all his individuality by D1 probably Serela needed a convenient claim and was worried about his lone survival and cc'd Nucleus as a means of distance. It all blew up in their face though.

It does have a restriction though, in that my vig is disabled in any Mislynch or Lose situation, even pseudo ones. So if we mislynch today, we'll go down to 6 people, NK makes it 5 and from there 2 kills and a mislynch will cause game over. Our Dearest Sister and We however do fall together, so even if we no lynch today and a kill happens we'll still be down to some weird pseudo-mylo situation if my kill were active so it'll also be disabled pretty much no matter what. Our Night ability does remove all restrictions over my abilities so We become an unlimited Doctoring Vigging Unstoppable Goddess. Blame the set up??

Sorry for not posting much recently, I'm feeling a little out of my depth. And you guys seem to have things mostly sorted out anyway.

For what it's worth I do remember Polaris tiptoeing around NucleusWaffles, so that could be something in favour of offing SB?

Post by: raikaria on April 30, 2020, 05:48:18 AM
OK I think everyone else has done this so I guess it's time for me to do so.

I am Lilia, the Descendant of Hadal; who is a female. Interestingly; my role PM flavour mentions Adol; who was scum.

Anyway, assumeing that Smartbomb is truthful about the jail, and that Yaersulf did not in some way immune/disrupt the jailkeep; that means it's between SB and me.

I know my own alignment, and there's also the aforementioned really strange D2 interaction between Polaris [who SB replaced into] and Waffles.

You know; that one where Waffles was ranting about rolefishing and tried to put Me/BBM as a scumteam [hey; remember? Waffles, who flipped scum, was trying to lynch me?] and then Polaris asked him to fullclaim at 2/7 and he did so with no qualms?

Also if I was the scum, I'd have happily just lynched Daiya instead of encourageing some discussion before it.

Oh yeah I was going to ask SB something. SB, why did you delay revealing your role citing that it would be better if you didn't when you were the last person to claim, then claim vanilla town?

I wanted to make scum freak out. Maybe it worked? Based on Serela's breakdown.

This is probably a bad attitude but I don't uh, super mind being lynched here if we're in auto but I am slightly nervous + think I'm pretty obvious town. Like, the nightkill was not the jailkeeper but the guy advocating that I was the towniest out of the nonclears. It smells like strawberries.

I will say that I think there can be unroleblockable scum in the game if there are only 3 in the game (we have 2 jailkeepers) but I guess that comes down to scum idling their kill instead of shooting the masons N4.

I'm really hoping I'm wrong though.

I again offer the alternative of just no lynching to be extra careful. We can afford one given Dormio's clarification. I'm not sure what's going on either and I worry there is still indeed 2 scum.

Just to confirm; your daycop is an alignment cop, yes? You'll find if someone is town or scum.

Does the math even work out that way? Aren't we at 7? If we no lynch, we lose a lynch anyways. I know daycop is good but we lose equity no lynching anyways.

Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Six)
Post by: PX on April 30, 2020, 08:30:52 AM
There's no reason to not use the jailkeeper, it could hit scum and stop them from killing or randomly block a kill. That said, Our vig is almost certainly going to be disabled N7 so there's no way to rely on that. Lynching is still our strongest ability and we should figure out who is the best target to lynch.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Six)
Post by: Disquieted on April 30, 2020, 08:52:29 AM
There's a distinct possibility that scum might idle a kill now that they know they have the ability to confuse and consume us both; in addition at this point they're going to refuse killing me off, they've made their bed and there's going to be a jailkeeper every night regardless if I die now or not.

I dunno, I have thoughts about these mechanics but am not sure how to describe it. I know I'm cursing myself given the results of last phase but raikaria's opening post is... off.

Giving a bit of thought to this game. Gonna sit from outside of my slot, make sure this game is hardlocked.

Fabloo is town, Serela just never collapses against him like that. Since Fabloo is town, PX is town.

I'm not mafia cause there's a confirmed jailkeeper in the game and mafia having both jailkeeper and roleblocker is silly. Banana Spritzee is town cause Serela never folds against him like that and other stuff, we don't have to go over it again for the sake of people that read why Serela conceded.

Scum end up in raik/Yaer/sb. I won't discount strongman as the last scum, it would make the most sense given gods and it would mean that mine and banana spritzee's roles are basically neutered for the entire time, which means the gods are our real source of power instead. That makes a lot more sense. Still though I don't see how we lose, no matter which way we divvy up nightkills and lynches we have at least 3 lynches and/or checks. Maybe four, I'm not really paying attention with how this daycop/vig business works.

And there aren't third party shenanigans cause I got blocked N3 and the scum still killed, and it's likely that scum can't carry the nightkill and use their ability at the same time. So there's definitely at least one scum left.

Y?
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Six)
Post by: sb on April 30, 2020, 12:04:35 PM
Hmm.

Is Lynch today -> Daycop and NL on a miss tomorrow optimal? Two chances for JK killstops and PX has their Vig N7 so we make up the no lynch? Fabloo, can you confirm if it would work like that? I’m not sure if NL in 4/1 would allow PX to vig or not.

P sure this is auto regardless.

Post by: raikaria on April 30, 2020, 06:04:47 PM
Hell; with the Public rolecop; if there's a kill with whichever of me/SB lives, we can pubcop Yaersulf. If he's red we've also found the scum by association with him.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Day Six)
Post by: Fabloo on April 30, 2020, 06:42:33 PM
PX keeps telling me the vig is disabled if we hit MYLO. It can probably become active again if we lynch correct in MYLO though. However.

7 alive. (6) Mislynch (5) NK
Next day is LYLO possibly.
7 alive (No lynch) (6) NK
Next day is MYLO possibly.

I guess it would make sense why MYLO/LYLO wasn't confirmed to me in that regard then. The biggest question we need to ask is if we have faith to make the correct decision now or we just want to play our hands at night. I personally prefer a no lynch because I want to see if there's one left. Doing so will clear some of the jails. This is pretty close to auto but I still think. There are ways we could screw up.

So BBM definitely saw a jail. I've never seen a scum jailkeeper nor do I feel like it'd make sense. I'm still comfortable with our odds. No lynch pretty much secures a win in my eyes.

My very, very brief understanding is that if we had no lynched today we would've got half a lynch extra. Which is exactly what we want now that SOMEBODY got modkilled.

Smh.

I really do think scum are just empowered and can shoot past a jailkeep somehow so we should probably have more than full reliance on the god's whims over my stuff. Don't get me wrong I'll still be jailing raikaria tonight (now broadcasting cause my backup is dead) but I don't think it's necessarily going to clear anyone.

We'll - or you'll - deal with what happens, we have way too much power at this point.

Fine with no lynch, brain's switched off.

Every night you may target a player of your choice and, assuming that their determination is not as great as yours, remove them from the game. You may use this ability in conjunction with up to ONE of your other abilities. You may not use this ability if Adol Christin or Feena are using their abilities to remove anyone from the game.

You win when all threats to your faction have been eliminated or nothing can stop this from happening. Best of luck.

"Fate Calibration: As one of the twin Goddesses of Ys, you possess the ability to influence the fates of mortals. During any night phase, you may alter the fate of a player of your choice and cause them to return anti-town results to any alignment based investigations. You may only use this ability ONCE. You may not use this ability in conjunction with any of your other abilities, unless that ability specifies otherwise. This ability becomes active at the start of Night 3."

OK. This is not a good ability to have.

Wait I'm SURE at one point I mentioned the 'masons' might not be of the same alignment due to their public disagreement. Throw in me saying the ED2 events indicated possible scum v scum and I feel like I was not crazy and actually onto things.

It's fine really. I'm not a huge fan of the roles being presented in front of me. A lot of this game feels lost due to failings of the mechanics on my end.

This is an aspect of the game however. One I never claimed to be good at.

So I already did most of my 'postgame talk about the mafia plays this game' when I did my rant, which was like 90% accurate to what occurred.

Also please don't ever claim masons when you're NOT masons. :U I mean, I'm scum so it means I won, but in the future! People would have lynched the heck out of you guys for very good reason if you weren't "masons". Your role was clearly town, but your partner's was all hot air.

Anyway I immensely enjoyed the massive clown circus this game became from mid d2 to the end of d4. Waffle's insanity was fun even if it also got me and him ubermurdered after SB replaced in and drug me into the clownpile with his very accurate case on me.

I feel a little bad for town after d4 tho', but again, don't claim masons as town if you're not masons!!

I didn't have much tools to figure it out. There was nothing that indicated to me we weren't. I would've vastly preferred some clarification about a few things.

Then my daycop just gets easily countered like that? Like. What is it even for?

Post by: Yaersulf on May 03, 2020, 06:55:00 AM
PX you sly dog. I even thought you were the more trustworthy of the two sisters with how happy you were to jump on the Nucleus wagon early and things. The thought that you were opposite alignment had crossed my mind, but only briefly and I put it down to paranoia.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Game Over!)
Post by: Dormio Ergo Sum on May 03, 2020, 06:55:17 AM
There was absolutely nothing in your role PM indicating to you that the other half of your role shared your alignment. You made the assumption and PX was more than happy to roll with it.
In fact, it even says that the two of you don't always agree on how you do things.

Like, you are never a mason unless your role PM explicitly confirms the other person's alignment.
Title: Re: Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Game Over!)
Post by: Fabloo on May 03, 2020, 06:56:59 AM
OK but I wasn't even given a chance through the powers I had which were incredibly weak in the first place in hindsight. This is why I compounded us together to make up the distinct powers in the game.

Perhaps that was shortsighted. But I really feel like I shouldn't have my daycop countered so easily like that.

Post by: Bardiche on May 03, 2020, 07:00:20 AM

Lesson learned, never assume you’re a Mason when your role doesn’t say you’re a Mason.

Anyway, now that we’re clear of the actual game, should also come out and have my brief say on why I decided to replace out.


See, the truth is, I don’t really mind being called smug. It’s a little annoying for someone to come in and insult you, but nowhere near enough to really set me off. At least one of you thought I was, which is whatever.


Then another decided it was a good idea to heap on another insult, by saying I “thought I was all clever” for trying to hunt scum early Day 1, and how it was tiresome to have to put up with.


“Apologies to Bard, I feel better now” tells me you knew it wasn’t very friendly, but chose to do it anyway because it made you feel good to ad hominem. This is made a bit worse when someone else already thinks I’m pissed off by that point, so... why do it? Why try to piss off someone who may already be pissed off?


At that point, I figured the mood for the game was already set for me. Let me be clear. Mafia is, indeed, a game where you aim to eliminate liars from your midst, and sometimes pissing people off makes them reveal lies.






I don’t play Mafia that way. I don’t think victory justifies all means, and I think we should play the game while being respectful towards eachother.


That means no ad hominem for the sake of it. Preferably no ad hominem at all, even if it’s a winner strategy.

Post by: Serela on May 03, 2020, 07:11:10 AM
Sometimes scum aren't allowed to no-kill, in which case it's explicitly stated in the rules. But it's fair to allow them to idle if they think it's best. We almost idled the kill straight up to d8 5p lylo until banana got modkilled.

This is because fabloo's d8 power was multiple lynches :VVV 3p D8 lylo could seriously be universal loss.

Dormio! Why are there 22 role PMs for a 15 player setup?!

When the Goddesses died, the world would fall into chaos. This would mean that (up to) 7 players receive a new role PM. There would, of course, be no alignment changing and most of the changes were VT -> VT. Overall, town would lose power and scum would gain power but it would still be a low power game.

I just re-read Night of the Vampire mafia, which I assume is the instance which you referred to UncertainKitten.

I want to reassure you, that, if I were a VT converted on D2 to become a mafia goon, I would also be furious and confused because I have been blessed with a traitor status, but also furious with joy because its so unique.

In summary, I think to avoid losing in any case with the Dormio fakeclaim as masons is a great play tactically, and I think you are a great player.

I actually sympathise a bit with being called out specifically on being 'Renko was probably sent to hell'. It was likely unexpectedly hurtful and clearly by being here (and as well as Dormio) we people here are just trying to have a good time.

I don't know but like, I would thank you for trying so hard and appreciate it.

fabloo don't fakeclaim as town unless you know what you're doing lol. when you fakeclaim as town the point is to mess up the mafia's plans, not just make up somebody else's alignment to save yourself from being lynched.

it's frustrating that you kept lying to town even after people caught you in your lies and gave you the benefit of the doubt that you weren't mafia. PX, literal scum, was more truthful than you about your roles!!!

people make mistakes but it's also extremely frustrating to see you talk in postgame about how there was no way for you to figure out that PX was scum. literally the whole town thought something was off with your roles and kept saying it didn't make sense for you guys to be town. If you'd been truthful about being lovers and not masons, to be quite honest you and PX would have been lynched and this game would have gone very differently.

Couple of thoughts:

I genuinely like Smartbomb's play style, he's very articulate and open.

I also, genuinely like Fabloo's commitment into the thread, there were a few *~PANIC~* moments when we thought it was going to happen with the "not actually masons" talk.

I was feeling super inadequate because I was outed so early.

Serela is a genuinely formidable scum, carries the game himself through sheer charisma. I will priority lynch this person every next time we play.

I am not even sure if that meltdown was genuine or just pure instinct powering through, but I really think I got a thing or two to learn from appealing to emotions, like DAMN WE WERE SO CLOSE TO NOLYNCHING DAY 2

It happens sometimes, but also if it wasn't for our ridiculous gambit SB would have absolutely gotten me lynched on D2 :V I wasn't most people's top priority but I definitely... didn't look very town until the counterclaim, and all it took was an actual GOOD case on me from SB to dig my grave pretty deep. Gambits don't usually play out THAT well, but scum counterclaiming scum is... welp, uh, you get a lot of time and control over setting up your fake situation. (It's also stupid risky, considering that we both got lynched for our claims in the end.)

No lynch actually wasn't very likely d2 at all despite how close it got to deadline. A large portion of the players were around and would have ensured it didn't happen. It's just that I counterclaimed literally like, an hour before deadline and threw everything into chaos so people had to start debating and moving votes.
