Role draft will start today.

Was the mafia all picked before role draft started?

Well the Dons an asshole, not recruiting me my wins as mafia is like 66.6%.

How much do we wanna meta the shit out of this recruitment thing?

notice 666 devil number perfect for being scum :P

WAIT NO GIVE IT TO ME WILGY!

Jerk, You ride me and don't take me out for dinner, don't give me a role, nothing.

sig is the Wyvren Rider. Go sig.

I'll take it. So um who will promise not to vote for me in exchange for a role.

Okay I'll just go with

@Rundontwalk is Cavalier

Epi trusts me since I'm awesome. OR a lot of other reasons.

1. He knows mafia wouldn't pick me
2. He's mafia and we're not on the same team
3. He assumes any mafia worth their salt wouldn't pick someone who always gets lynched. (Which is dumb since I'm an amazing scum I build bandwagons and make the civs pay for them!)
4. YOLO
5. I came in very civvie
6. Ask him.
7. Since I'm amazing.


linki: Dunya my dearest are you mafia?

Also sure I trust Epi, he gave me a wicked role, I feel like Scum Epi wouldn't be as likely to risk me being right even if I do tunnel.

And I trust Wilgy since he's amazing.

I just gave you like 2-7 reasons why they wouldn't.

Also for those who don't remember or know me. I'm Sigurd from Philadelphia, best city on the east coast, in school at Lexington. People here without fail always mislynch me. Break the cycle don't mislynch sig.

And it wasn't deflection, she's just taking control of the thread and tried to give you a kill role.

How would Epi know Mafia wouldn't pick you?

Deflection to Duyna noted. Igmeo.

no?

I said the exact opposite.

Exactly, but you didn't extend it to me for wanting to give rdw the same role. Explain?

Because it makes more sense that I wouldn't be mafia then rdw.

What? This exchange looks bad for both of you

tinfoil time

Dunya, Epi and I are all mafia members and we preplanned this to distance ourselves.



I think I'm going to target myself day 1 just in case I'm mafia that'll show me!

I didn't pick this role, guess you should hash it out with Epi.

In the meantime, I think I'll shoot Quin in a fit of rage and Wilgy in a fit of passion.

I've never seen you this sarcastic before...

Bring lethal does strange things to a person

lol, yeah I've been more composed in my last few games, usually i'm a sarcastic little shit.

and no reason to apologize.

@dunya

What extent do you think mafia will attempt to get good roles versus lay low and take whatever?
Do you think they'll coordinate with each other and how much?
This would include giving roles to each other over other players.

I don't think this is a good post day 0/day 1 thought process it would get to WIFOM and lead to easy lynches but for now I wouldn't mind getting the ball rolling.

JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Fri Feb 09, 2018 2:38 pm Supertown Jimmy shall make a meta-judgment of mafia team selection probabilities given the following assumptions:

~~~> If the don is a Syndicate regular, he or she will be unlikely to select players who are frequently lynched on The Syndicate or exposed in POE pools.

~~~> If the don is not a Syndicate regular, he or she is slightly less likely to select unfamiliar players.

If accepted together, these premises would favor sig, DrWilgy, and Marmot.

Favor use in which way?

Also i gotta say if I was the Don I'd recruit one or two big TS names and a few unknown RYM players, give it a nice mix of both sides.

I disagree with you Jay that high post count = civ dunya.

linki: Okay.

AAAA YES DDL! I knew I was forgetting a game.

I don't like this post. Who is to say mafia wouldn't pick you because nobody expects them to do that?

Because I always get lynched on TS and have only been a baddie three times so they don't remember my epic skills as mafia and just remember oh he's always lynched.

If you have some brilliant theory then by all means, speculate.

I don’t care to waste my time.

If people keep calling me brilliant I might start believing them.

I think it's bad to ignore draft mechanics I think it can be key to catching scum, even if it doesn't it allows players to talk and to gain insight from how they react. I'm not sure that I like you proclaiming that you're going to be playing a supetown game and your general posts since that proclamation, I think it's about a 60/40 chance right now that you're actually mafia.

If you said she was town because you "trust" her that would be horrifying​

When Epignosis expressed trust for sig, do you think he was pulling that out of his ass?

When is Epignosis not pulling things out of his ass?

That's like his MO.

I don't recall saying anything about the likelihood that X player would select me. All I said on the matter is that I wasn't picked. You said you're often the subject of scrutiny, which is more of a sig reason to civilian read you (Mac gets too much shit too often) than "Mac is too obvious". It's almost the opposite.

I'm not seeing a mafia mac right now.

Epi is amusing me so I don't think we should kill him.

Tell me what a mafia mac looks like.

I feel like his aggression and frustration is more genuine then when he's mafia. I think his reads being thrown out aren't all right, but that doesn't mean he's mafia I'm just not seeing it.

JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Mon Feb 12, 2018 1:27 pm Either LC isn't paying attention, which isn't ideal, or he is pretending not to pay attention, which isn't ideal. Perhaps a more agreeable suspicion would be that he is milking his recent meta for playing a detached Day 1.

I hate to say this since I always bus LC, but I think it's the second one. I also would disagree that LC is a bad player, I feel like he's trying to set up a meta so he can help mislynch people.


Wilgy hasn't been very zany yet which I find odd and I feel like we've got alot of players just coasting.

I also dislike how people aren't doing Epi's list. Normally I think for things like this scum is broken into two groups, one group will play along right away, while the other will argue and refuse to do it. So the fact Collins hasn't done anything yet is odd.

I also don't want to lynch Marmot today and I still think Jay's early posts were off.

Everyone's over here trying to be alpha male and I'm just putting around in the corner, trying to find a bro to play with and being ignored.

Epi and Collins is civ on civ

One of the supertown people is mafia no doubt

the other mafia are lurking

Rabbit's gone AWALL which is weird.

For my shots I'm tempting to start trimming off no posters thoughts?

tell me more, tell me more, was it lynch at first sight?

wait is that a vote or a vig? o.O

It's a vote that I was trying to make stand out better, my original site we voted in red the color was icky.

I mainly voted here since he came in got his role then went poof. So we knew he was active and I figure if he's lurking a vote would bring him out. Plus I wanted to vote in case I forget later on and not level up.

I see the point in Epi's exercise, but I don't think Collins not doing it is necessarily scummy, like maybe it's a good day 1 vote, but he's being active so I don't know.

I like that White is arguing with Jay, but if I'm being honest I've just kind off skimmed the argument.

RDW seems to have stopped posting as much as before, I think Mac was scum reading him? What happened with that (Or was that a read on Kyle)

I see that's interesting

linki: Jay is being very aggressive., moreso then I remember?

I fully intend on using that today. I am going to decide who gets lynched if I don't see a lynch poll that I like. Colin is probably going to die. dunya maybe. I am here to burn out like a firework on the fourth of July. And I am drunk. And I will be drunk tomorrow. And I do you know what drunks with fireworks do? It isn't pretty.

If you lynch switch to dunya I will use my lynch switch to switch to you

It you lynch switch Epi's switch away from Dunya using your lynch switch to switch Epi, I'll use my lynch switch to switch the lynch onto you.....oh wait I don't have a lynch switch

PSA: I'm rescinding my town read on Mac and I think we need to find new topics as of page 40 we have like four people dominating the thread and all discussion while everyone else just kind of spins around in circles and is ignored.
