Deep breaths.

Trolling and insulting, even jokingly, and chaos posting will provoke irrational responses from townies. Calm lines of questioning, an open mind and kindness in all things.

This is the way.

Namaste.

Please don't approach me with anything but warmth and love or I will deny you access to my being.

mac's still probably town though. in fact I think this makes him more likely town

I sense your attempt to influence a negative perception towards me and I am sorry I made you feel so much hate towards me that you would do this. I have nil but love for you in my heart and your hurt makes me feel sorrow. I wish you all the very best.

His coming into the game discussing hypotheticals not related to the game seem chillax and the sort of content I think wolf Aro would avoid. In other words, he'd be more in try hard mode and thus be sticking to game content. I also really like his insta town read on Wisp when Wisp is someone scum!Aro could have just waited to see how reads on him shaped out to be. And I think this post has signs of a town perspective:

You are leaning town on the person who made what you described as a wolfy dichotomy?

Let me clarify, I mean the dichotomy is "wolf-siding" because I know I am town and I have a light tr on Wisp.

I have Illario lightly town for some of his earlier interjections with u and how he came into the game to start trying to understand your town reads. Demonstrates to me he is already focused on forming that "town core."

Making a "wolfy" dichotamy != player is scummy if that makes sense lol

Mainly because it remains objective about Illario. I think scum who initially made the post about Illario making a wolfy dichotomy would probably continue to push that Illario-wolf narrative.

Bow before me mortal. I am the mafia god now.

I welcome new deities into my pantheon. I just hope you are more God of Truth, Love and Justice than God of Mischief and Confusion.

Alison wrote: ↑Mon Nov 07, 2022 8:22 pm So is this a new meta Mac?

I suppose it is a response to a recent game devolving into dystopia and a concern of this one doing the same.

Our departed friend Arogame only left us a request to not lose our minds and to stay the course. It is a beautiful last will to leave. Stoicism while looking upon one's own demise is honourable indeed.

MacDougall wrote: ↑Mon Nov 07, 2022 10:37 pm The game was progressing lovely, patiently and productively under the benevelont gaze of Dalai Dougall. Let Ilario return to poring over books about teeth and return to our extremely townie state of bliss.

MacDougall wrote: ↑Mon Nov 07, 2022 11:47 pm Actually I'm gonna spend the next half hour ranting about all the things bad town do in games that piss me off. Enjoy.

MacDougall wrote: ↑Mon Nov 07, 2022 11:53 pm First most frustrating thing bad town do in games. Argue with strong players who have strong reads on other strong players.

Unless you are some sort of Einstein level fuck, you need to let this shit run it's course. Strong players do not need you to be defending them from other strong players. Make them do it themselves. If you think that Strong player A is trying to run roughshod on the thread by hard tunneling strong player B you're almost always mistaken because strong players tend to try to pocket other strong players. The likelihood of two s-tier players going at each other goes:

t v w
t v t
w v w
w v t

In that order.

It is strictly on the surface less likely that the person with the aggressive read is mafia. And the chances of the person on the other end being mafia are around rand. Let it occur. You are not going to do anything but annoy the fuck out of a good player who may have a mafia player cornered. You are doing nothing of value even if you are right because it is important to the process of the player to actually make the push and figure shit out for themselves. When other people jump in and defend the person for shit house reasons it often exaggerates their tunnel because they feel like the person has minions defending them. Or even worse you can get accused of having TMI and have the hosebeast turn their gaze on you instead.

Just let the bulls hit each other. It is stupid to do otherwise unless you have mech.

MacDougall wrote: ↑Mon Nov 07, 2022 11:57 pm Second, related thing bad town do that pisses me off, rep "godreads" on slots that could fool them in a heartbeat.

So you read Ilario right two times in the last cpl months. You do not have a godread. Not even if you caught Ilario a mafia.

See, the thing is that Ilario (or insert any competent player) does not play games to fool you, Mr or Mrs. Shit Town, they play games to win for their wincon. But eventually comes a time in a game where pocketing you, actually helps their wincon, and you are shit at the game, and they are exceedingly self aware (the trait that makes the biggest difference between good and bad mafia players) so they know exactly why you read them the way they do. You think they're town because they use fullstops, or some dumb shit. So they use fullstops. Now you, Dumb Fuck, are out here townreading the deepwolf and yelling at people who are suspicious of them for hard wolfsiding correctly. You are THE moron.

MacDougall wrote: ↑Tue Nov 08, 2022 12:00 am Third thing bad town do. Have no fucking idea what is alignment indicative in a game.

In order to actually truly understand what is and is not alignment indicative in a mafia game you have to have played so many mafia games that you have a stored internal database of varied games that allows you to understand probability in an innate way because what is alignment indicative is never perfectly one way or the other, it is only less or more probably alignment indicative GENERALLY.

Unless I can ask you "name three things that are more of alignment indication as wolf than town" your reads are rand except for true actual meta reads. Which brings me to...

MacDougall wrote: ↑Tue Nov 08, 2022 12:01 am Fourth thing bad town do... rep meta based on FUCK ALL GAMES

You do not have a meta read on me if you have played mafia with me 2 times. You do not understand the range of a player until you have seen them as both alignments multiple MULTIPLE times. Your meta read is bogus. DOn't argue with me.

MacDougall wrote: ↑Tue Nov 08, 2022 12:04 am Fifth thing bad town do...

Single player mafia.

Look around you. You've played 5 games of mafia in your life. Oh yay you played champs and know the English language and passed high school literature enough to be able to articulate your thoughts to perform better than the mouthbreather that got sent from "Dicktopia Mafia" and made the finals. Look at you, finals level player, you made it.

You do not have the best reads in this lobby. You are a passenger. Other people in this lobby have better reads on you, more experience with the playerlist and in general. Sit down, shut up, listen and learn, and get better at the game.

MacDougall wrote: ↑Tue Nov 08, 2022 12:07 am Next... OMGUS

Ho-lee fuck

Okay so OMGUS is like ... back in the day it was a WOLF TELL. Can you believe that? I'm so old that was the meta when I started. These days OMGUS is actually a "oh yay it's a bad town" tell. So don't fucken do it.

If a good player who sounds town is suspecting you, take a fucking look in the mirror and make sure you aren't playing the role of extra wolf first. Ask yourself "am I playing the way this person is used to perceiving me play, is it fair for them to think I am mafia?" Am I shielding all their scumreads? Am I pushing hard into their town? Do they have basic logical reasons to think I might be a fucking mafia.

If the answer is yes, then DONT READ THEM SCUM JUST CUZ THEY READ YOU SCUM YOURE A DUMB FUCK.

MacDougall wrote: ↑Tue Nov 08, 2022 12:08 am If you are someone who consistently omgusses you are actually contributing some really bad shit to the general meta because wolves that like to openwolf can just hard omgus town correct on them and people will townread them because of morons like you.

MacDougall wrote: ↑Tue Nov 08, 2022 12:10 am The archetypal bad town.

Step 1 - Find all the better players than me and townread them immediately because they did not alignment indicative things that you think are town for them.
Step 2 - Scream at everyone who suspects them. Omgus on their behalf.
Step 3 - Go into a blind rage tunnel when someone suspects you for playing the game like a pre-schooler.
Step 4 - Blame them when they decide you have to die for playing like an idiot.
