Fargo Mafia [Game Ends]

[Esooa]

You're a real hard read but I guess I am just really good.

you're soooo good mac, please teach me more please, I am honored to be your student

Also I think tbh my scum game is a bit behind my town game, I've been spending like an entire month playing town only almost and trying to get better and I think I've done it well

When you have a correct ez town read on Mac the correct course of action is usually to just sheep me til the mafia kill me not "eh" my ideas.

You've got a lot to learn kiddo.

you've questioned me not sheeping you before

Do you really expect me to do that? I only would if I'm feeling particularly lazy

[MacDougall]

You aren't even being rational so I am going to assume you are quite drunk right now.

I don't care about any proposed strategy beyond "eliminate the most likely mafioso every day until town wins". Picking and choosing suspects based upon thread posture rather than degree of suspicion is not a business I care to engage in with rare exception. Tony may end up being that player today. He's in my POE too. We'll see how the phase develops.

And I have seven best civilian awards across three websites, so .

Ted your fly is undone.

I don't expect you to. I just wish that you would hurry up and get to the point where you realise that being town is easier when you just find other town and work with them instead of questioning your townreads reasons for townreading you for no apparent reason lol.

Getting townread is great for you as either alignment. Catching a wolf for townreading you is fun but it's also not something you should slap a wolf for. The more you force a wolf to be correct the harder it is for them to find a winning miselim. Got someone like SPF who appears to be mafia townreading you? Don't ask them why, just let them and then nope them when they push onto your godreads lol.

That's how we do it in the old folks home anyway.

[JaggedJimmyJay]

Why does BoKnows, known passive participant in forum mafia, choose a random Jay vote on TSP to question? Does it make TSP town or his mafia teammate? One things for sure is it makes Bo mafia lol.

Valid question. I'll let Bo answer it before I expand.

Wolf: Mac is town
Mac: Thank you wolf, who do you think is mafia?
Wolf: Tutuu is mafia
Mac: Thank you for clearing Tutuu for me, who is mafia now?
Wolf: Ted is mafia
Mac: Thank you for spewing Ted your teammate

I'm not really playing the game to make it easy. I'm playing the game to figure stuff out, regarding everyone. Maybe if I get to a point where I'm like "I just wanna play some casual mafia" I'd do that but my goal with ~every game, ideally, is to get better so nah

I'm not trying to "slap" anyone into not town reading me though. I just question people about their reads on me cause I think evaluating peoples approach to me is a useful way to read them

I spent like 8 hours every day playing mafia. Or more. I have the time to make it hard and I do, lmfao

That's not casual mafia that's just realising that you don't have to hit the ball very hard to hit winners.

Look at me I'm making tennis analogies.

Town ted: God damn it Mac you are obvious town can you hurry up and read me town so we can fucking dominate together
Scum ted: Reeee your strategies are whack. I am the best and only I have the secrets of mafia.

Your fly is undone

[MacDougall]

I am not sure but I think I have gone to a new level of being obvious town in this game. I haven't seen a single person sus me yet. It's beautiful.

I'm using the term casual mafia as a contrast to playing with the intention of getting better. Do you think sheeping you does anything for me? I don't. So I don't really care. I'll maybe end my vote following yours if I think it's the best way to vote but I'm not going to take that process throughout the day phase. Idk this is too dense for me to care more atp

i'm out of the loop

i'm assuming you're scum reading me for not asking for your reads

lolu

[NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME]

Isn't the point of getting better at the game to make the game easier

[Esooa]

Isn't the point of getting better at the game to make the game easier

I suppose I'm playing the long game

[JaggedJimmyJay]

Town ted: God damn it Mac you are obvious town can you hurry up and read me town so we can fucking dominate together

I think we're well on our way. Just do what you do and synergize it with what I do and we'll be fine.

I am directing this at Ted why are you replying? Are you a Ted sock?

[JaggedJimmyJay]

The frustrating thing about getting better at Mafia in a competitive environment is that everyone else is also getting better at the same time. It's like level scaling in a bad video game.

[MacDougall]

When you townread people and they make you waste keystrokes on things when you can just sheep obvious god mode townies. Worst.

I enjoy the intricacies of a more higher level game regardless

You responded to my post about my best civilian awards and then said the thing about "I'm the best and have all the secrets". I thought you were talking to me and calling me Ted for some MacDougall reason analogous to me calling you Doug.

I thought it was a reference to the film Ted

[MacDougall]

see the thing about me is that I understand myself well enough to be able to see the signs and mildly remedy them with pre-emptive humour

[JaggedJimmyJay]

Weak, Australia. Do you normally like to fish around the ocean coast, or is there a smaller body of water near you?

[NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME]

I prefer sweeps

Oh I am a fisher of many bodies of water. My latest endeavours have been primarily beach fishing. My boss made me a beach fishing rod for Christmas and it's long as fuck. Like 12 feet maybe or more.

I do enjoy a fish in a river, or a fish in a boat, or even a deep sea fish. Never done an ice fish though. I hear the Ice Fishing is pretty good in Minnesota.

I think this is a nice place to take one of those brief hunting breathers that benefitted town in Bread Mafia, so I am chilling out and making some off-topic posts in white text.

I've very little experience with fishing. I suspect I would most enjoy beach fishing, since it'd likely come with a decent breeze and just feel generally relaxed in a way I'm not sure I'd get from a river or lake.

[NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME]

I feel like you have the right temperament for fly fishing, jay

[Oddmerta]

Well that's a hell of a way to start a new page! Yeehaw!

Tell me about Oddmerta, ted and Esooa.

i thought his first few posts were pretty wolfy when i was itt

afaict he has trouble finding an actual tunnel for genuine reasons and from his iso I can't glean that he's actually reading the thread and assessing stuff like a villager would

from the few games we've played, i don't expect him to talk about someone like sloonei being scum and then voting somebody random like jpic, he seems to me more like the theory conspiracy guy. doesn't seem like he's using his votes in order to gather INTEL from his scum reads (especially sloonei)

the LC read I believe was straight up stolen from spf's call on alison - and that was probably the only villagery thing that i was willing to call slightly villagery in his iso, but it's most likely nothing

i don't like to type a lot of words, hope this manages to sum it up decently

From the few games we played, which games were those?

[tedxtr]

Yeah I mean I thought you were Ted so it's me who's having a stroke not you.

Wikipedia suggests this involves no worms so that’s a nice start

Beach fishing can be pleasant but it can also be tiring and unpleasant. Sunburn, sand everywhere, saltwater everywhere. Sometimes insects. Sometimes jellyfish.

The most pleasant form of fishing for peace is definitely not beach. You're definitely looking for trout fishing in a mountain stream if you want peace.

[Oddmerta]

Did everybody literally go fishing right now?

[fingersplints]

I just woke up and have lots of pages to catch up on.
