if you are vanilla town, then getting nightkilled means you're protecting a town role
this *should* be your goal
mafia is a team game
@Pigjr1 how did you choose your protection target? Were you trying to clear Lendunistus?
(I investigated catgode, on the thought that if I survived, he'd need clearing the most - and that mafia would never NK him.)
Good job, everyone! This was fun!
This.
To be clear, there are embarrassing players in champs. One kind writes five posts at the start of D1, never to be heard of again. (If they don't notify the host, doubly embarrassing.) The other kind is aggressive, insults other players, and spreads generally bad vibes. These are the only types of players it is not fun to play with. None of our nominees fall into that category, not now, not in the past.
you can confirm we're entering
it kinda makes sense to not vote on candidates while our game is ongoing, but I think that runs out of time in 3 days and a bit? so well in time for the deadline

First Description:
The words I chose are blue, the words Manatee chose are black. We opted to do every other word and found it a lot of fun, but feel free to divide it evenly however you'd like among you and your partner. Add punctuation as you see fit, but remember! Only 10 words.

thinking about copping Leg
I have always had lots of energy
you need to really burn me out (e.g. with toxicity) to change that
i just don’t want a nolimthere won't be a nolim
if esooa loses a voteyou only get eliminated if I lose a vote or you gain one
I'm thinking of that as "my wagon" because I am pushing it
you only get eliminated if I lose a vote or you gain one
because you never really explained your vote on catgode in the first placebecause catgode is the person I want voted the most so I was voting him, but I was the only voter on him, so I moved to make a bigger wagon to actually do something with vote on leg, then you moved up catgode so I could go backi mean when you switch from catgode to legathar back to catgode so rapidly you better have a reason to back it up
even if i can infer why town!esooa might vote for either of catgode or legathar
idk why I need to explain this lol
and when asked about this, you said it was just to make him talk
he talked, why are you still voting
looks like flailing from here
I think you might be w/w because of the way you eased off the pressure on each other
and because you're already sus
You rarely have hard evidence in this kind of mafia game. The investigation is more psychological:
- is this something this player would not be thinking if they were mafia?
- is this something this player would only be thinking if they were mafia?
- or is something that this player would be saying both as town and as mafia masquerading as town?
which is why it is important for townplayers to reveal their thoughts, so their team-mates can recognize them and clear them of suspicion
the vote is the town's only weapon
if we don't eliminate someone each day, the mafia gets to call all the shots, and to give them control of the game is not good for us
it also forces mafia to reveal themselves in a way, because they have to vote to protect their own people and get townies lynched
that's why it is also important for townies to make their vote count, or mafia cansimply hide among the joke-/non-voters.
referring to this prediction:
... and there is the other one
fine enough to actually vote?
D1 performance looked to me as if he had a role (scum or doc)
... which means spamming the thread with ISOs is a good idea?
Ah well, at least it's two hours to go, Apoc used to do it at -30 minutes
again, there is no daychat for scum
I forgot how much I didn't like what @lendunistus was doing
in the catgode/Esooa scumiverse, catgode's job is pocketing me and Esooa's job is pocketing lendunistus
and they're having a problem setting up another wagon off their distancing ploy
otoh I don't think Esooa/catgode would really have a problem with that if they were scum
and we have no other wagons so we ought to assume that scum are fine with lynching either of them
*sigh*
I mean that's a pretty good activity level for a FGF mafia, with 48 hour days no less
lacks walls though
it really isn't the same without @Precarious or @back900
so why did you park your vote there on D1, then?
MU site requirement is 1 post per phase, but I don't think that applies to us.
BTW you haven't placed a vote yet yourself.
actually "solid 6/10"2 brief sentences would've been fine
1 sentence would've been ok
you left it at "6/10"

I prefer Ganthro to be our main rep. I've not seen Koba play. (And why is the link to " vdli w/ no miller" game broken?

late entrance but the reads are on point (alabaster and ignaromus were mafia)
kept reasonably calm when dealing with BATMAN (btw this is the game he finally caught a 1-year ban for)
what a mafiascum thing to sayyeah i never want to play a game with u again if this is how u playOh u come here and tell me $%#! u and call me dumb and I have not reciprocated against you and I soured you’re first game? Please....
I’m playing the game, play the game. There’s not one way game. If you play with me then there’s always ways and plays u never seen. Keeps you on your toes
was going to say something about tunneling batman, but then postgamepolicy is transcendent it exists in all planes of the mafia universe. in chat mafia, in forum mafia, in video mafia, and in irl mafia.
the policy does not allow gamethrowing play it only punishes it until it ceases to exist.
for as we allow it to fester the more it grows and do we want it to be acceptable? no.
winning a single game by letting it slide is not worth allowing the behavior to continue throughout games.
No.forgot about a post
I never implied it wasn't. But making reads based off questions like "are you town" or "how you feel randing scum again" is borderline psychiatric ward treatable, everyone with half a brain will put minimum effort into making these questions alignment neutral for them.
As for the rest, it's just your paranoia because you don't want to be pocketed by me again. Understandable, but personal and not very... dependable, I'd say.
Asking you that question implies that I think your entrance looked scummy. It's not much to go on, but it's all we have at the start of the game, and sometimes it works. So I call you out on that and see if I can unbalance you, and I expected your reaction to be not as curt if town.
It's just one data point, not really that meaningful by itself.
And yes, I already wrote that I'm aware I don't quite trust myself on the pocketing thing. But I'm not going to let the thought go unmentioned either.
I know you want to talk these suspicions down. But going the "mendel doesn't know what he's doing" route is not ok.
That's what I was going after when I asked her to comment.
You basically said "Esooa was sheeping mendel", and if that had been me in her shoes, I'd have protested, because I hate it when people say I did something that I didn't do. But Esooa doesn't care.
Obviously that's not necessarily a scum tell.
But it could be if the vote wasn't based on any actual town thought, but placed strategically as scum.
[I also want to say something else that will have to wait until the game is over.]
I still think it was a poor use of a vote, if it was no more than a joke.
that's actually something I have done before, just not on Kong
and it's because of the vote history linked at the top and bottom of the thread; in bigger games it's very helpful to quickly see who did what over the course of a day (the votes are linked to the posts).
That's why it is
a) helpful to accompany major suspicions with a vote
b) put reasoning in the same post as the vote
If scum wants to start a lunch wagon on some townie, for example, they'll talk up suspicion, but not vote, so it doesn't look like they started it.
And that's why I use my votes, kind of as bookmarks for everyone.
I think this looks like hamuka was suspicious of lendunistus
@lendunistus , are catgode and Esooa a scum team?
##Vote Esooa
tea-leaf reading time:
why was hamuka chosen as night kill?
I hadn't pegged him for a role, so I don't expect it was role hunting
sure was
how do you know he doesnt hate it
@Legathar not posting his thoughts is irresponsible if town
thinking about that actually, would PigJr read a partner like that?
the suspicion he's throwing on Esooa today is A+ distancing if they're buddies
I want to think level 1 and believe they're not scum together
Looking at Esooa, besides the obvious fact of voting me, and P#206
TMI?
why vote there##Vote [NSM] Mikey TMI
I'd love to wrap this up with an Esooa/Lendunistus scum team
problem is, real mafias don't often have Hollywood endings
what was that about?
