I thought about that as a potential option I do remember seeing that happen before.

Poor seanzie that happened to him last game too. Where did that wagon even come from and why?

Everything is all happening so fast I don't know what to do. Gahhhh

Ugh I was in a DnD game and everything went crazy while i was gone.

If alexa and guillo are both town. And alexa shoots guillo and guillo dies and confirms alexa town. Then we have one dead town and alexa role outed that could be souped. Then we have 1 to 2 less town. How would that help us? We've already lost townies to vig shots and it's only day 1 so I'm not seeing how that makes sense. If alexa chooses not to shoot guillo that doesn't tell us anything either because I wouldn't trust that if someone said that to me.

I was wondering about all the guillo votes and I just looked through gullio's iso and he claimed night vig not day vig. Saying he doesn't care about the soup kill. Perhaps a false claim to get someone to counterclaim? He does seem to be trying to figure out other people's roles. Did that kind of with the alexa/nutella situation.

I’ve read only snippets so if she renegaded oops I’m not aware, chances are extremely low honestly, statistically, but like why not believe her?

If we say it’s accurate it isn’t a role I want around and we know it’s not town so won’t hurt our numbers.

Usually I’m not a big 3P hunter still not, but right now seems like a smart move

I guess I was kind of thinking that and that it's an easy place to throw a vote. I mean it was not a real claim so that's not a reason to vote alison. Unless you have other reasons to suspect alison, sig?

I mean I guess I can agree that when wilgy is town and participating he does at least have reads. This game so far he has said he planned to find townies to join and his only read was everyone should vote sig when sig hasn't participated. Also marmot did the joke with wilgys intro thing. I would be interested to hear if wilgy has any other thoughts on the game or just continues to not be involved.

Wilg only got 10 posts basicly not doing anything. Anyone played with Wilg before? Because I would not know how to give a confident read here.

For some reason Porscha could be town to me. Porscha did not shy away from the c4 convo, and showed some personality if I may add.

Wilgy is a notorious low poster. He's been mischopped a lot because of it. I don't know how to read him. Last game he played in he didn't even type actual words because he was meme role-playing a character.

Justplayingitcool wrote: ↑Sun Jan 30, 2022 8:30 am Anyone checked for marmot spew?

He voted creature but then changed his vote to alison for her case on creature. So seems like that looks better for Alison and maybe not as great for creature

So in staring at the thread here's some of my random thoughts. I've seen sloonei start off slow as town before so I feel like maybe give him a chance and if he doesn't improve then probably scummy. Mac gets overly aggressive and defensive when scum and I feel like there was a tinge of that but it's subsided a bit so we'll see. Dizzy was being suspected for the scotty vote and defending marmot but they provided an explanation that was plausible and made sense. Ender is blindly following nutella votes for some reason? Not really helping the case against him. MR is okay I guess I don't know how to feel about them as of yet. Seems like they're trying to figure things out. Bo has pretty much just said vote marmot and that's about it so meh.

alexa wrote: ↑Sat Jan 29, 2022 11:30 pm why are people considering dizzy scummy? i'm still in process of rring but i do not see this at all and historically i have a very good read on them, if that matters

I'm thinking because they were defending marmot who flipped mafia. I don't know if that's a norm for them though to defend a teammate like that.

I'm just wondering why dyslexicon MR and creature are still voting for scotty who has been flipped town.

There are way better votes? Probably
But I'm confident sabie will flip scum

What happens when I flip town? What does that say about you?

Why does it have to say anything? Can villagers not have bad reads?

Sure they can. Just weird he chose me to say confident is scum out of all the people in this game when I haven't had a chance to even be here and participate much. I guess I see now why Alexa felt weird about his post about her earlier on the game when he doesnt know her. I think it's easy to go after low posting people and be like oh well she wasn't involved anyway so no loss if we kill her off and she's town. I don't blame him for suspecting me just weird that he is so adamant about me in particular.

do you think it's lamist then when he says "if sabie flips town I'll get wolf read but I'll take that trade"

I don't know maybe? Like feigning confidence in a read because there's nothing to go off of. I mean my initial response was me being snarky to see where that focus on me was coming from.

It's a scum tell on my part.
I highly think some people here are only town reading you due to meta reasons

Master Radishes wrote: ↑Fri Jan 28, 2022 7:36 pm my plan is pretty clearly laid out to give me a free win while also helping the town out. I fully intend to have "auto" from post 1 and will be putting in close to 0 effort to solve or influence the game from this point on. It doesn't make much strategical sense for me to do that if I'm mafia, especially since it will become too obvious that I'm lying about being 3P as the game goes on.

How would you know anything about people meta reading me if you aren't familiar with my meta and don't agree with meta reads? Unless I missed the part where anyone said that. I guess maybe I'm overthinking just seems like you're talking to someone who knows my meta. I was thinking you were just town trying to navigate a different environment with players you're not familiar with. Perhaps we got off on the wrong foot. If you have questions about where I stand on things you could just ask.

Thanks everyone who came to the sockys! I missed quite a bit while working on those and I'm still going to be out and about for a bit.
In just my breif catch up I see someone shot kza out of nowhere but hasn't fessed up to it. C4 is trying to figure out who to use their shot on. There was some thing with porscha being given a hard time about saying they need to catch up. And now marmot died which at least that was a mafia hit.

Sorry I've been working on prepping for the socky awards which I hope people are able to tune into!

In the OP it explains that mafia either chose their team or their roles. Plus there has been a lot of discussion as to which option is the better play. Some people were trying to speculate who they would choose for a team if they could. I think choosing roles sounds more advantageous.

I think once we have a couple outed wolves we would have more info on whether they seem like chosen teammates vs chosen roles. In catching up I see Alexa was involved in two of the more notable interactions. The nutella thing I don't know that someone would have role info day 1 but if they did I guess it's plausible they didn't know if the role was town or mafia. The paopan thing to me sounded like Alexa was legit confused about why paopan said what he did. Paopans post was weird and confusing and he didnt explain why he said it but it seems like maybe he chose players he kinda remembered to see what thr response would be.

That's how I feel about Belzy.

I searched my own name to fill my ego, and you are the only one who mentioned just me in a post before I started posting. And also thank @Marmot for the signing up appreciating that I am playing. I have not played Mafia in a while, but I do remember enjoying both of you two.

One of my weaknesses is playing a 20+ people game, let alone 33 people, though I only counted 32 players showing up in the Discord server, but it feels like an honour to participate in a yearly champ game. If anyone has good advice how to play day 1 in such big game... i wanna play a good town game finally again, and solve and lynch the scummies.

I agree keeping up with a game this huge is hard at first sometimes. I'm a bit out of practice as well but trying to get back into having another good game for once. I'm pretty sure no one ever would have picked me for a scum team because I haven't had a good game in a long time. Hoping to change that though.

Why so focused on paopan? My phone keeps wanting that to be propane. I don't even remember if I've ever played with them. Trying to keep up. I don't remember ever seeing a role that can get a check on someone day 1 is that a thing even? I know people like to randomly say that for funzies

Sabie had an odd opener but i haven't read any additional posts from her

That's my secret cap. I'm always odd.

it made me laugh, gave my mafia playing parts a tingle, and no, I have no gorram clue who that is. But I like the post.

Isn't it Mac and spirityo? It sounds like a Mac post. That should be a fun combo.

Oh man sleep is an option? I definitely need that

Oh this game we get special events that should be fun! I always enjoy a game with unique elements.
