LGBT+ Mafia [END - Mafia Win]

[Hyena]

hyena, jic you missed it, i asked what your actual reads are if you have any

Oh, I haven't started generating any reads yet. I'm still, like, figuring out people. I like you and Mist though. Probably you a little more since Mist hasn't really done anything AI yet from my perspective (sorry, Mist ;-;).

I feel like I want to call Cayvie town, too, because I really do think she was posting genuine thoughts, but I don't think I know how she ticks yet, at least not well enough for me to say whether it's alignment indicative or not. I remember liking her because I remember her posting in G2 of MU Champs this year saying she was pro-chaos in games, and in my head, that means she might be capable of having genuine thoughts like that as either alignment.

Also, I'll be back in an hour or so!

i’m confused. why do you want to call cayvie town if you don’t think what shes posted is AI? what in this explanation makes you want to say she’s town?

Because I feel like she's posting genuine thoughts.

hi ran!!!

[Hally]

also this game still exists. is hyena actually scum? should i be tr’ing mp just for giving me warm fuzzies? all will be revealed

[Hally]

what if hyena is town and mp is scum pocketing me over my incorrect hyena sus?

[Mistyx]

RAN!!

[Hally]

RAN!!

hey mist how are you reading hyena rn?

[Hally]

tbh it’s really hard to get into this game when the activity is so low. i feel like i have to force stuff just to keep the thread moving

I seem to remember you getting to action more quickly before. Why are you taking it slowly here?

Also, I think you're right, it must have been that game! Hahaha that's the only game I've been wolf here since my return and it wasn't even my original rand because of the zombie sub-in. Gosh that feels like ages ago, doesn't it?

Yeah, I usually try to get to action as quickly as I can, but a couple of factors in game are stopping me from doing so at the moment. The two main ones are 1. I haven't had a chance to interact with everyone yet, which means I don't have a complete picture of the game yet, and 2. the small size of this game, which is making me feel like I have to be more accurate with my reads early on since we could be in LYLO as soon as tomorrow.

For #1, I feel like the only people I really have thorough interactions with is Hally (who I've had the most interaction with), Cayvie (who I haven't directly interacted with yet), and Mist (who I don't need as much interaction with since I've got a lot of experience with her). Outside my interactions, the only heavy interacting between two people that I know that's happening without rereading the thread is between you and Hally. What I'd like to see is more interactions between people I haven't seen interact yet. Of the people I named above, I'd really like to see you and Mist interact right now, because I don't know how you two as a pair fit into this whole game just yet.

Even if those interactions did occur though, that still leaves Tony, Scirrus, and Sabie, who I've got pretty much nothing on? Wanna know why I'm fencesitting on the people I've made genuine reads on so far? Because I don't know how Tony, Scirrus, and Sabie are going to fit into the whole equation yet. Everyone outside of those three could be town for all I know. Thus, based on the incomplete picture that I've got right now, I'm just taking guesses right now.

How #2 plays into this though is that because of the low number of players and the number of yeets/night kills/vig shots that we all potentially have this game, I feel more nervous about sticking to my guns because I don't think I can afford to be wrong as often as I usually can. In a normal 9+ player game, we at least have two days where we can miss on hitting scum without losing. That's not the case here. I feel like we have to make sure we hit mafia either today, tonight (with a vig shot), or tomorrow. If anything, I think the low number of players makes me more nervous about the game than the flipless mechanic.

this post actually isn’t bad tbh

[Hally]

aaaand nobody is here again. welp

[Ranmilia]

hi, i'm gay

[Hally]

hi gay, i’m dad

[Ranmilia]

Hi dad, I'm one of the five JoaTs!

[Hally]

j o a t c o u n c i l

[Hally]

do you you have any reads ran? or pokemon fan art?

[Ranmilia]

Somewhat more on topic, We Know The Devil, and it's 72/24 hammerless flipless.

So. I signed up as a sub expecting/hoping to go in a little later than day 1, so I could just go into the tank solo, read through the game, and tell y'all who the mafia are. That didn't happen. I'm going to be tightly managing mental health this game and not threadsitting, because 72/24. Or trying not to anyhow. Some of you who have met me in spec chats and games already have an idea of what to expect from me. For others, we are meeting for the first time, hello!

I am an out of place object in the Syndicate/MU forum mafia world, a Samurai Jack-esque castaway out of time who learned the game over a decade ago, took a long break from it and only recently returned to the field. I don't put wolves in boxes. I plinko board my thoughts. I think the phrase "process of elimination" is anathema to town success. I think a low number of large contentful posts is better than a flood of one liners. I find playing town much more stressful than playing scum and am geared to catch wily wolves rather than potato wolves. My process is very different, in many ways the exact opposite, of what seems to have become the norm in this strange new world. Some of you will probably not understand me, and that's fine. Some of you may be tempted to scumread me solely on playstyle, that's a little less fine. Keep an open mind, and we can work together and benefit from our different perspectives.

Fortunately, I'm the innocent child, so we won't really have to worry about that too much.

Also and most importantly, I love you all and am thrilled to be playing with you fine folks. My sense of humor is largely inclined towards dry absurdity; please keep in mind that everything I say is a joke, unless it isn't, but also it is. <3

Now I'm gonna read the game. Here's some pokemon fanart!

[Hally]

wait tony claimed inno child too. are we forming an inno child council? because i’m also inno child

[Hally]

also cute drawing

[Ranmilia]

Well that came out bigger than I hoped it would, sorry scrolling people. (Artist is Mistyx, won it in spec chat bets!)

I posted previously reading nothing, now I have read page 1. I accept TSP on the Council of Innocence. ... maybe we need a different name for it this game, idk.

[Hally]

oh cute drawing mist!

[Mistyx]

RAN!!

hey mist how are you reading hyena rn?

kinda town? i think his thoughts are forced but in a "i need to have something to progress the game" way instead of an "i need to have something to look towny" one

oh cute drawing mist!

:D

[Hally]

yea i actually liked hyenas longish post i just quoted. i can buy that as a genuine thought process

[Hally]

[VOTE: cayvie] aubergine

back to this?

[Hally]

someone tell me how i should be reading mp. im nervous im being pocketed

[Ranmilia]

When actually is deadline btw? That's not like THIS EVENING is it?

[Hally]

When actually is deadline btw? That's not like THIS EVENING is it?

tomorrow evening 8pm est

[Mistyx]

When actually is deadline btw? That's not like THIS EVENING is it?

tomorrow i believe

[sabie12]

Sorry work has been crazy I should be more available now that it's the weekend. Day 1 reads are tough. So wait I thought end of day was today at 8pm but its tomorrow at 8 pm?
I'm glad this game isn't a million pages per day though at least so catching up isn't bad. I will read through again to see about reads.

I'm not sure if Tony legit claimed innocent child or just like said it randomly. I was under the impression there's only one so if there's two claims one isn't legit.

[Mistyx]

why are you considering that tony's is a joke but not ran's?

[Ranmilia]

awww you're all so cute <3

my favs on the top of my head are uhhhh umbreon, dewgong, yanma, medicham, mienshao, pancham, dragonite, gallade, frosslass, drifloon in no particular order!

@sabie love the art and the couple!

@Hally you missed the pokemon game on MafC! I requested an eevee emoji for it and now we have some

Umbreon, Dewgong, Yanma, Dragonite, Frosslass, this slot is blessed.

yes eod is tomorrow!

i took tonys claim as serious but now ran just claimed too and that’s probably also serious. and i also claimed seriously since its my actual role

[Hally]

in short we are all ic

[Mistyx]

i'm a mostly-innocent child-at-heart does that count

[Hally]

yes

[Mistyx]

YAY

[Ranmilia]

[VOTE: Hally] aubergine

I feel like Hally is trying to drag this pokemon discussion further than is actually necessary. :P Also, OMGUS.

i will shamelessly talk about pokemon for the entire time im alive in this game and you can’t stop me

So much for shamelessly talking about pokemon the entire time, huh? :3 Are you feeling a little self-conscious after I suggested that you could be prolonging the pokemon discussion to delay talking about reads?

yes, it’s because i’m mafia

oh

[Ranmilia]

am i the only one who really dislikes the pokemon based on inaminate objects? like the keys one or the sword one (idr their names rip)

nvm hally not mafia

[Mistyx]

oh are we talking about pokemon again

has anyone here watched any pokemon movies

[Hally]

yes but i forgot them tbh

i remember i liked the celebi one because celebi is cute

[Mistyx]

acceptable

i've watched uh
mewtwo (1), lugia (2), entei (3), celebi (4) except it was like 10 years ago, latias & latios (5), maybe jirachi??? (6), the first part of lucario (8) twice but never finished it, manaphy (9), part of darkrai (10), shaymin (11), arceus (12), zorua (13)

oh wow that's like

almost all of the gen 1-4 ones

i own a disc with 4-7 on them so i've been thinking about watching one of those

[Ranmilia]

if we're talking pokemon i found a cool image that i will

somehow force to be relevant to the game



tag yourself, and give a bit of explanation into how that carries over into mafia!

i'll start, i'm grass, i'm consistently hard on myself over how i play but i don't get frustrated with others easily

I fit too many of these idk you tell me. Normal/Water/Poison/Ground/Ice/Ghost/Fairy/Steel.

Poison if you want one where they all fit. IDK though poison is pretty generic for mafia players. Yes I am uhh, good with words, sneaky and strong willed and a little chaotic, but definitely good, said everyone in a mafia game ever.

Actually I'll just list all the points I nodded to.

-easily made nervous
-perfectionist
-when do they sleep?
-cries a lot
-needs lots of reassurance
-strong-willed
-chaotic good
-daydreaming right now
-sneaky
-quotes old memes
-binge watches or doesn't watch
-fluent in sarcasm
-cold weather best weather!
-catch them in an oversized sweater
-into some weird music
-big fan of kitty-cat toe beans
-a lil withdrawn
-comfy style
-shy shy shy
-nobody ever rly knows what they're doing
-mia from time to time
-still wears footie pajamas or would
-intimidating but actually a big dork
-rambler!!
-either a strong sense of self or no sense of self
-overshares online
-very serious about their interests
-a new interest every week
-seems to be great at everything

It is relevant because understanding each other will help us understand each other. Probably.

[Mistyx]

i'm terrible with words, vaguely sneaky but usually weak-willed and only chaotic when there are no consequences

[Ranmilia]

like i dont think either of them actually expects the wagon for the other to get off the ground, or their reason for voting to be taken particularly seriously.

So, like, this thought and, in general, all the ones about me and Hally being scum together are, I think, genuine, even if I don't know if it's alignment indicative or not. :3 For a brief moment after I started accusing Hally the way I did, I was a little worried that it might be taken as two scum bussing since there are people I'd do that with if I were scum with them (Evenstar from last years MU Champs, for example).

This post is either very good or very bad.

[sabie12]

I mean whoever the innocent child is can be confirmed by the host if they so choose. So then is that a bad look for the liars or is everyone just going to say they were joking?

Tony's claim was followed by telling cayvie to claim cop as mafia so that's why I thought maybe it wasn't serious.

I think a lot of those little personality things are relatable

[Ranmilia]

(is mp pocketing me. asking for a friend)

no

[sabie12]

(is mp pocketing me. asking for a friend)

no

I think MP is just a genuine nice person and not trying to pocket anyone or anything.

I feel like sometimes in the past my kindness or trying to get along with people has been seen as passiveness or pocketing or interpreted to mean something when in reality I'm just trying to be nice and enjoy the game.
