Nat'l Lampoon's Christmas Vacation - Game End

[MacDougall]

The whole point is to make a POE that has enough fur in it that it makes day 1 retrospectively readable by forcing the wolves outside it to play around it on a way town don't have to, making life very difficult for the mafia.

I would never insist upon my poe being blindly followed past d1 but in this gamestate there's only mafia utility to bothering outside of it prior to the end of d1.

i didn't know that, i thought a poe was supposed to be pure fur and eject all townies out of it

good to know, i'll keep the tinfoiling inside my head

in a perfect world it is but given it never happens finding a solid enough poe and then narrowing the game harshly into solving through that POE is painful for the mafia inside and outside of it if town play properly...

a pure d1 poe is like as rare as hell and generally the outcome is the same anyway... the point is that as long as it's reasonable and likely to have at least 33% mafia in it then you have enough runway for it to be game winning if the town continue to solve through it and the town within it at least try to project towniness

[MacDougall]

Let's say the relatively consensus poe here is something like pyxxy/abigail/scotty. I personally don't have Scotty as mafia but let's say we arrive at a position where he's the third most sussed slot for arguments sake (which he might be).

If we as a town are content to say it's unlikely that there are 0 mafia in this group, which I am due to how many townreads I have outside of it.

We limit the amount of dialogue speculating outside of it and focus our energy on figuring out who to chop from within it, we serve a few purposes.

1. The town miselim is given enough opportunity to project themselves to avoid a shrug chop.
2. The Mafia are forced to pick a side in a way that can result in them bussing, or outing themselves choosing not to bus.
3. The town outside of it reveal themselves via solid teamwork and progressing the game state along a town agenda.
4. The Mafia get boxed out.
5. It prevents a lot of town on town posturing/ego warfare.

I try to force this paradigm in every town game I play and it's why my town winrate over the past couple of years is not just high but so so many of the wins are rapid.

In the games in which I am proven to have 0 wolves in the POE I end up operating within, mafia usually make the mistake of keeping me alive and I'm capable of being able to reevaluate eventually once it's discovered that the d1 poe was pure.

The caveat is the town wintate and the "rapidness" directly correlates with how hard the town try as a group and how committed they are to simply being townie. The more bad townplay. Low efforting. Tinfoiling. Open wolfing as town, that town exhibit, the longer the wolves survive and closer to parity they end up.

So it's important for poe clamped town to keep their neck above the water and keep trying to be town. It's also important that the day 1 poe gets resolved quickly so town PR play is very important ie. vigs need to shoot d1 cws and investigatives need to get green checks on possible miselims etc.

When towns come together in this manner town generally just absolutely steamrolls almost any mafia team except pure "we lost the game at rand" level mafia teams.

[Long Con]

Does anyone else see what LCs been saying about porscha?

Feels like a mountain of a molehill, but perhaps I'm missing something

There's some confusion, and some frustration involved. My initial vote... Porscha said everyone except DM and maybe Mac, had "howled". I asked Porscha how I had howled, and I considered the answer "you generally just sound performative to me, but it was also more of a comment on the general threadstate" to be handwavy and weak, and felt wolfy.

As for "what I've been saying", here's my perspective on what I'm dealing with:

Spoiler: show

There are two points that I'm frustrated with.

The first is this progression:

if I dont wifom rondo back then that's no fun lol, I'm surprised you took it as a legitimate answer to his illegitimate comment

Don't be surprised, because I didn't, and it's weird that you'd frame the conversation that way. You said I overreacted to Rondo's post, when your reaction was WHA and mine was considerably less "over" and quite less reactionary. This is the reason these answers are being discussed, you are the first one to bring up the idea of either of us taking Rondo seriously. What's going on here?

I didn't take rondo's post seriously, I didn't respond seriously, it's weird that you took his and my posts seriously (guess we can't all have the same sense of humor but rondo is clearly just shit posting)

...so that frustrates me, because Porscha obviously didn't read my post. It diminishes my likelihood of putting effort into further interaction.

The other thing is this:

is there like, a quick guide to not think long con is scummy 24/7

You already claimed I "howled" and now you can't tell me why you said it?

yeah, you generally just sound performative to me, but it was also more of a comment on the general threadstate

Sounds fake.

[VOTE: porscha] aubergine

lmao I see what you did there

Yes, I voted you, and you saw it.

no, with the whole "people wanting you dead thing"

it's like an over reaction hidden behind a joke

Porscha corrects me when I thought the "I see what you did there" was about my vote, and tells me that they were talking about the "people wanting you dead" thing, which is about the reactions to Rondo's post involving us. So that's why my posts following have that perspective.

Then Porscha posts this:

my accusation that you over reacted was that you over reacted *to me* and *my read* ... had nothing to do with rondo

So yeah... frustrating.

I hope this helps you understand.

[MacDougall]

Generally speaking Porscha has a reasonably reliable effort tell and she has exceeded the min expected already dramatically even if her actual posting is a bit weird.

She won't be able to maintain this level of wim as mafia if she is indeed mafia, and if she is mafia I think she has already been forced to fight pushes on her teammates (accusing my poe of being lhf for instance) so she's a good example of what a wolf might look like who is outside the POE that has mafia within it.

But she still is marginally more likely to be town than mafia simply because of the reliability of that effort read. I heavily caveat the strength of it because she usually as town is a lot more obvious, a lot more heated and she feels a lot like the one wolf game where she actually did break that effort meta and fool me for a long time.

So I would call her a very light townread personally but under consideration in a major way if my POE turns out to have been even remotely pure (ie. Abi/Pyxxy have 1-2 mafia). She also can be teamed with Scotty and Rondo based on a couple of skewiff interacts there as well.

I have a similar read on Robyn but Robyn is less towny as town generally and a bit more cryptic to read generally so Robyn is probably even closer to true null.

Neither are in my POE though. They are both above the null line barely and I'd like to see them keep solving and posting so I can get a better feel for what they're trying to achieve.

this is like lhf central is it not ? lol
I have abbi lower cuz she will get herself out of that spot if she is town me thinks but hasn't

How is it lhf central?

When you made that post im pretty sure they had hardky contributed, only person missing would have been falcon lol

[Porscha]

I dont know how anybody is reading rondo with any seriousness right now

He is absolutely obvious town to me but I also recognise that he's essentially a Rubik's Cube to most people.

are you able to elaborate why he is obv town?

Nah it is.

how? he's just been posting wifom for 2 days, how do you see it as a townclaim, especially for rondo

Porscha here already asking the tough questions

I forgot to get a wreath. What kind of Christmas is it without a wreath?

@Porscha thanks for baiting a wolf into voting me unintentionally but there are more efficient isn't ways to catch them lol.

um, I dont know how I've been strung into this lol, it was really rondo who baited scotty's vote onto you, no?

I haven’t even really got anything from your posts, so I’m not even sure what Mac’s going on.

Which is why his extrapolation as such rings unnecessarily defensive and OMGUS

Can I just point out that Scotty said this and it this very quote chain is him saying "Porscha here already asking the tough questions".

Yeah idk id expect more of a read on me than "havent really got anything" since his comment that i was asking hars questions like... implies he thought it was towny of me lol

Serhal and sig so lhf i forgot they were in the game lol

[Porscha]

I do be talking out of my ass a little

[Porscha]

Porscha calling my solve of Pyxxy/Scotty/Abigail LHF feels like a pretty bad defense and they feel a bit unusual to me so I could definitely have been wrong earlier on that townread.

Porscha/Abigail/Pyxxy or something could be the solve maybe.

I think as an entire poe it didnt seem to have a lot of thought behind it... scotty at that time had hardly posted, youve pushed him (fair argument), already was on pyxxy. And then just threw abbi in there. Idk, maybe youre right and its easy like that, but if scotty is their loudest wolf and he immediately fucked it up, idk how abbi/pyxxy plan on pulling the game out of their asses and it doesnt seem like they care!

1) No. You said "porscha you over reacted" to which i said no i didnt, because i assumed you meant over reacted to our conversation. *then* you said it was about rondo, to which i said, i didnt over react to rondo and i dont know why youd think i was talking about rondo there. And then i followed it up again and made it very clear i was always operating under the assumption you had meant *our* conversation, not over reaction to rondo, and thats what i was referring to. So unless i missed you specifically accusing me of over reacting to rondo earlier, im almost certain you vaguely accused me of general "over reaction" and i dont know why you think I would assume you meant in regards to rondo when we were already going back and forth with each other. And yet after clarifying this issue, youre still harping on about it, which is why:

2) it is getting harder for me to believe this has been a good faith misunderstanding that town long con just so happens to have so few other thoughts about the game, only focusing on me, and still trying to weaponize a misunderstanding to shade me. Im really trying to let you cook cuz i have witnessed and been privy to the "god i feel like long con is so scummy" early issue and seen you town up later. So if that world is possible this game, then please let me try and find it, this has been monopolizing for both of us (more for you than me)

@Porscha I would love for this ridiculous argument to be over, but I honestly can't until you understand.

YOU are the one who accused ME of overreacting. I didn't bring up the idea.

You literally said that I overreacted to Rondo's post. Please read the spoilered response I gave to falcon, and then read it again even more slowly, because I can't handle this.

Let's say the relatively consensus poe here is something like pyxxy/abigail/scotty. I personally don't have Scotty as mafia but let's say we arrive at a position where he's the third most sussed slot for arguments sake (which he might be).

If we as a town are content to say it's unlikely that there are 0 mafia in this group, which I am due to how many townreads I have outside of it.

We limit the amount of dialogue speculating outside of it and focus our energy on figuring out who to chop from within it, we serve a few purposes.

1. The town miselim is given enough opportunity to project themselves to avoid a shrug chop.
2. The Mafia are forced to pick a side in a way that can result in them bussing, or outing themselves choosing not to bus.
3. The town outside of it reveal themselves via solid teamwork and progressing the game state along a town agenda.
4. The Mafia get boxed out.
5. It prevents a lot of town on town posturing/ego warfare.

I try to force this paradigm in every town game I play and it's why my town winrate over the past couple of years is not just high but so so many of the wins are rapid.

In the games in which I am proven to have 0 wolves in the POE I end up operating within, mafia usually make the mistake of keeping me alive and I'm capable of being able to reevaluate eventually once it's discovered that the d1 poe was pure.

The caveat is the town wintate and the "rapidness" directly correlates with how hard the town try as a group and how committed they are to simply being townie. The more bad townplay. Low efforting. Tinfoiling. Open wolfing as town, that town exhibit, the longer the wolves survive and closer to parity they end up.

So it's important for poe clamped town to keep their neck above the water and keep trying to be town. It's also important that the day 1 poe gets resolved quickly so town PR play is very important ie. vigs need to shoot d1 cws and investigatives need to get green checks on possible miselims etc.

When towns come together in this manner town generally just absolutely steamrolls almost any mafia team except pure "we lost the game at rand" level mafia teams.

Look at you go
