i love postgame analyses
Likewise. My case on you was based on real things. You wasted a lot of time and effort on wagonomics and then dropped it an cleared jump for bad reasons, even if you were right. But you were on to me so I had to adapt my strategy and I'm glad that it worked even if it didn't matter in the end.
Is there a link to the gy?
Where do you think you went wrong?
This game wouldn't have been the same without an amazing sub game. Subs should never be underestimated, mark my words.
You did a great job of finding subs. Thank you for hosting the game
I think I did a good job emulating my town game, so don't feel bad.
@Psycho666Soldier
@jumpluff
You had me on the run and I thought I was losing this game. You guys deserve a raise.
@Athena_57 even
Biggest thanks to @Athena for being the perfect D1 wagon. We couldn't have done it without you.
I want to give a shout-out to everyone who played and subbed into this game. I would like to play more with you guys, hopefully as town next time. The subs played an amazing game. Thank you for playing.

Good game.
It's probably just chelsea psycho
I would put Psycho/Logic above Psycho/jumpluff as tinfoils go
@jumpluff did you get to read
P#2069
Just read it there
why did supa have to break his quotes in those isos
you get the point
I have done the same thing, notice how she is consistently not confident and giving off the impression she is meek.
Here's another post by her EoD D1, but this time this is in response to someone accusing her
In this post I did the opposite, highlighting her seeming confidence towards someone she is in contention with.
Aria's post follow a pretty strict pattern:
If she isn't being accused: Meek, Unassuming, Lack of confidence
If she is being accused: Confrontational, Defensive, Accusatory
Now ask yourself if she made such strong statements towards Mak why she did not bother to push him, moreover, why is this somehow annulled or not really brought up again. The only thing she's been able to latch onto (and this is because it has remained a relevant topic) is Claire, and this all bodes with the fact I think she's just trying to seem consistent with that scumread, but generally speaking that's all she has. It's not that townies can't be confrontational or defensive or whatever. It's the way she uses those things, or even the way she doesn't. I don't know aria like you do but I think if you're going to throw down something has got to come out of it, but instead it leads to nothing. Her behavior is purely reactionary when it comes to interactions and then when she is left alone she doesn't really have much to say. It doesn't seem like she's really thinking about the people she confronts either, which is not a good look. Her presence is dictated all on emotion and even then she uses it to appeal to others.[/QUOTE]
quoted my summary from eod bc it probably does better than all of my words here
Upon rereading Psycho I tried to find reasons why I was wrong, and there is actually a lot of content where his arguments make sense. The problem is that his thoughts when he's reacting to content and his conclusions do not make sense. I'm still getting pings from him coming in and calling woopons a misyeet and then voting Chelsea right off the bat. His first PoE at the time consisted of supa, Logic and Chelsea, and but when I challenged him he asked me to prove that they weren't. When I did he dropped both of them, and then changed his tactic from widening the PoE with wagonomics to casing me for my current argument in the thread, ignoring everything he said up to that point and distracting from my questions. I asked him repeatedly who he thought worked with supa and PB and he never answered, but instead found reasons to tunnel me and moved to woopons. supa and PB weren't revisited except for after thoughts, and he said he didn't think Chelsea could happen that day. Even after he did that, there were some conspicuous gaps in his reasoning like when he said he would have thought it town for Chelsea to provide doc cover, but didn't mention it for woopons who actually did it until I called him out. This looks worse now that woopons flipped town.
I noted how his read of woopons jumped all over the place in my case in P#2778, but his read of me does the same thing in several places.
The last post is the most important.
Outside of his entrance he has good tone at some times but there are times when he appeals to AtE and makes assumptions like this ping in P#2973. I think that this kind of tactic is >rand to be scum because it appeals to the fear of being wrong and is not an argument for why I am wrong. Almost this exact wording was used on me in my first game on MU and I got steamrolled into doubting my gutreads at LYLO.
I do not think town him makes this many different types of arguments just to end up at the most convenient lims without while leaving big gaps in his thought process.
Looking back at supa, Psycho's change in tactics follows a similar reasoning to what supa said about ariadne.

I'm out of time
I think Psycho is scummy for PoE and content reasons
I give up
And then when her wagon died she just learned into it* sorry
Tinfoil: If I'm right about Psycho then Chelsea votes for every scum on D1. What if Chelsea wanted to get bussed for town cred from the start of the game and that's why she was so annoyed about switching from Dunn to Athena and then when her wagon she just learned it by only voting Psycho and deciding that whoever gets survives should ride it to endgame.
Nope they were correct, just very weird.
P#3219 is the vote count every time that Psycho/ariadne voted for Chelsea.
P#3220 is every time that Chelsea voted for Psycho/ariadne.
At first glance Chelsea's vote never put ariadne in any danger until D5, but I don't think that counts that as putting her in danger since Chelsea parked and her slot was tied because I voted and not because Chelsea pushed the wagon.
What gives me pause is that Psycho's votes put Chelsea in danger multiple times during D2, and she never voted YOLO, which seems weird. But now that I think about it, it makes sense if Chelsea just wanted to eat the lim and she has acted like that since the start of D3 with things like "Why am I not a wagon today".
I'm way over my 15, be back at around 5, sorry
I think something broke with that votecount, going to try again.
I'm on my break, going to do a quick summary of my thoughts on Psycho and Chelsea.
@Logic What do you think of the vote order that jumpluff proposed?
Goddamn voice correct lol
Ashley that might not make sense but I'll have to think about it
Nas long as you can lie about who you decide to vote for I'm not voting before you.
I still couldn't trust it unless you explain why I'm wrong one of my town reads.
The simple answer is: Yes, it is AI, because scum!you only needs one ML to win the game, and the only way to know if your claim is serious is if after you've voted.
The thing is that if you are aware of what you would and wouldn't do as mafia then you are able to do those things as mafia to deliberately point to them later, so it's NAI or scummy to point to those arguments 9/10.
Another way to look at it is to find the towns until you eliminate who his partner is.
Sorry I realized I forgot to answer. With regards to your NK question the short answer is I was tunneling on Psycho and his widening the PoE requirement.
At the time I was convinced it was Psycho and woopons and he had to get a mislim on one of me, supa or Logic, and the way he pushed on me and then dropped it, I felt like he decided to nk me instead. I'm not counting you because he had already cleared you for no reason, so he had to keep you in his pocket or he'd be losing the game regardless. Keep in mind I was the only one scumreading Psycho, and that Psycho is not an idiot, so if it I was woopons then I was on 3 scum lims and would be tunneling him D6 and making it harder for Psycho to mislim. Psycho would consider the options and if he couldn't mislim me and I was already tunneling him then I had to go in spite of the WIFOM. Conventional logic would say that the only ones who would NK me there would be some world with supa or Logic, but Psycho could present that and go back to relying on wagonomics to case supa and PB. Since no one was considering I was right about Psycho I thought he would go for confusion after the orange kill and rely on WIFOM and case anyone who flipped on him and appeal to the other to mislim. Based on the way you're reacting to the idea it would have been the right choice.
This logic works even better for Chelsea because it would fuel her case on Psycho and make you look at Logic and PB as the same time, and you and Psycho would tin foil about PB and supa without her doing anything.
All of this logic depended on scum!woopons, but hopefully that helps explain my thinking.
In retrospect this would have been a worse strategy than killing Logic or supa and relying on you and the other to believe that it was between me and Chelsea, but I was in a tunnel and assumed that he was trying to ensure his survival which meant he had to get rid of at least one of the tunnels on him. I think that without me to challenge him he would have been able win you over on at least Chelsea if not supa or Logic, but then he would probably lose to you and whoever survived to F3, but it was still a possibility, or so I thought at the time.
I tend to think like this every phase and assume I am right until I am not, but it's hard to argue with kills like supa after the fact even if I think I am the best option the night before.
I made a snap decision that whatever his reasons, woopons was scummy, and there was no way I'd go for 1/3 chance of town when I could get 100% chance of woopons instead. I thought that there was no way town would do that, at least not with minutes to eod. Apparently I was right because I turned out to be right because woopons didn't realize he was putting it three ways. I would probably have voted him earlier if it wouldn't have put him at L-1 because I thought it was him no matter who else it was and he was the smarter play to keep us out of lylo.
I am okay with that priority but want to hear what Logic has to say before anything is decided
the biggest problem with serenes is the bs search engine. even if you could search by thread with author (you can't), and even if it did show full posts in results (it doesn't), it requires you to enter a search term. so you can't get posts without that term
I made an extension to do this for you, but in that specific game, it's going to be... very slow.
better than nothing though

since ive decided to commit suicide by fatigue may as well answer this
i had 15 minutes starting around 7:40 and already had some quotes pulled up that cut off on lunch, i thought i had time to respond to and leave a legacy but i underestimated the time
i didn't change my vote earlier because the way i saw it was either going to be psycho or woopons and if I voted it would put woopons at L-1
i don't place much value in living in the thread when im for both wagons but as soon as i finished my post i refreshed and woopons had made a 3 way tie so there wasn't anything to reply to do but vote lol
just noticed that both of them said they'd vote 24 hours in, but one said 1 day left and one said 24 hours in
what does it mean
This logic probably better than sheeping
holy $%#! it is 6am
goodnight
I may not be coherent today
back to this
Probably have the scummiest person vote first to avoid sniping
A part of me wants to unironically sheep Logic since we town read him
I'm more sure about him than you anyway
I lied I can't sleep
Thought: If I'm right, then from a logic standpoint I think there's a strategic element behind Chelsea tunneling Psycho and not expanding on his partners. What makes this work Psycho has made an argument that we should save Chelsea for the final phase and lim me instead, so that all of the reasons she is suspicious should be transferred to me instead of Chelsea, since I'm the only who works with her (in his argument).
The more that I think about it, the longer that Chelsea doesn't just vote Psycho, the stronger the suspicion of her grows. If he can convince at least one person that I'm the better option, then that suspicion of her gets turned into a vote on me instead of her. All he needs to do is wait for a single vote from you or Logic, and Chelsea can hammer. I might be giving them too much credit though.
On that note, I can't see why town!Psycho is so opposed to waiting. He seems more worried that other people's minds will change than that that his will, which is a scummy sentiment. If someone says to another player "I think you are town but I want to make lock in a decision before we can change our minds", I don't see that isn't at least manipulative if not outright scummy. If he knows my work schedule (which I've said a couple of times) then I think it's possible he is trying to rush town's decision while I'm not around.
I feel like most of your problems with me can be chalked up to I'm weird
drive by post before sleep but that me voting one place and casing another is classic me and I discussed this with magnificence in d1. ive improved on that since the game i linked because when the person i case is already the main wagon i'm making it easier for others to fly under the radar by only talking one person per day phase. the strategy is that i want to push lim pressure on one scum read but put argument pressure on another, i do not think this is bad and it works in general because the goal is to generate content on others not to make myself look good. you can see that in the game i posted too, though i actually got some of my lims that game
Let me preface this by saying that I am aware of how insane my logic can get to those who don't know me, but this really is just how I play. I lean into my confidence to create content, and the best way to see if I am wrong is to pretend that I am right and see what happens instead of waffling. I firmly believe that there isn't a reason for public waffling except to show my process, which I don't think matters except in situations where content is irrelevant, such as lylo. I take the same tactic in life, where evaluate my chances and then pick the best option no matter how bad it is and assume it will win, because my chances aren't better for doubting myself and I would prefer to adapt or find out immediately instead of stagnate in indecision. What this means is I really am just this confident, and I'd much rather push my current world as 100% and be wrong than accept the reality of 30% and be manipulated. If I find out I'm wrong then I can be just as confident in my next idea, until I win or lose, and get better each time.
I am not proud of this on some occasions because it has lost me some games, but I've been able to fix some problems with it by shocking myself out of it, like when I tunneled Shinori and Sully because it reminded me of how I lost a game by tunneling for pretty much the exact same things.
If you read https://forums.serenesforest.net/ind...all-game-over/ you'll see what I mean, and I'm confident you'll see that I'm town if you do.
It's now 2AM and I am having trouble thinking, but I ran into a problem, where something just doesn't add up, and I'm having to re-evaluate my options. I went into this thinking that the only team it couldn't be was Chelsea/Psycho, which meant it was either one of Chelsea/jumpluff, Psycho/jumpluff, Psycho/Logic, Chelsea/Logic, or jumpluff/Logic. By the math it was jumpluff just from the options, and Logic isn't scum unless my whole game is wrong, and I can't consider that. So I read jumpluff.
I expected to see the same thing I saw with Psycho, which was an unwarranted town read on the other that was mostly implied, and I searched ria/psycho, but I found out the opposite. I have to give jumpluff some praise because I have not my confbias broken quite this hard. Either jumpluff is the best player at faking tone and progression I have ever seen, or she is just town, and is mindmelding but at the same time actually considering Psycho.
I can't even imagine a more ridiculous tone changing than going from Sully in P#1578 and P#1584 to what jumpluff is now. I am floored. I still have some questions about why Sully would lie about trying to scumhunt when he actually wanted to self-pres, and I think that is legitimately scummy, but I'm willing to take my lesson from the game that I linked and trust my jump read.
Both jumpluff/Chelsea and jumpluff/Logic seemed less possible, although they're not ruled out.
After being shocked out of my tunnel vision I decided that instead of finding mafia I should be trying to find the town, so I reread PB.
He did town read both ari and Chelsea on D1, and doesn't revisit ariadne except in passing. He started scumreading Chelsea on D2 because of her still believing that Dunn was scum despite an un-CC'd doc claim (not counting woopons) and then he pretty dropped it D3. So there's an argument of him/Chelsea, but I think you could also explain that from him not being around like most of his content. The main thing is that even after I was looking for tonal pings I still don't get the same weird feeling I got from him in Champs Season 2, and I don't get a bad feeling from Logic either. I still think he's town, especially for PB.
That leaves me with Psycho/Chelsea hard bussing the whole game. I am going to feel very stupid if I am wrong, but I'm beginning to see some logic behind the entire scum team bussing D1 and it explaining why her wim was so low, why it was so hard to lim Chelsea, and why I felt like Psycho was deliberately avoiding her lim for most of yesterday.
@jumpluff Can you read my arguments from eod again? I still think that Psycho cleared you too early and for a bad reason and that you mindmelded because he got into your head instead of an actual mindmeld. I'll write more on this but I'd like to see if you can consider what I've already written if possible.
I might have gotten the order wrong or missed something obvious but it's 4AM, so I'll start properly casing and responding tomorrow.
I wasn't going to bring him to L-1 but that is different
