Hi I am here! Intro post! I know some of you already, but always nice to play in a different context!
I don't think flavor spec is that sketchy given there's a bunch of weird stuff this game... noting that the elements aren't divided evenly between characters is a handy thing to be aware of.
I believe Alison's claim as towny for now, I'm having difficulty picturing a universe where mafia votes are hindered in a way that actually makes sense, since mafia's actions tend to be more deliberate. Like, what's the point of having some kind of weird role that's negative-utility for the mafia side? Seems very strange. So I'm inclined to trust Alison's claim at least for now.

Re: Avatar The Last Airbender Mafia
Sorry, yeah, I think I misread your original post and thought you were proposing the role as a potential disadvantageous role for mafia. I now see that doesn't make any sense in context, but to be fair, I hadn't had any caffeine yet. :p
At this point I still think Alison's claim is more likely to come from town than scum, tho.

Re: Avatar The Last Airbender Mafia
It's kind of like policy chop in that it's making an ingame action not really based on evidence but just based on ... 'principle,' if that makes sense? Like, policy chop is 'I don't actually think this person is mafia, but we should get rid of them on principle' and this is like 'I don't actually think she's lying, but I'm going to be skeptical on principle'Carotenoid wrote: ↑Tue Sep 01, 2020 6:09 pmI don't think it's like policy chops though, because policy chops are more like: x is making this game harder because blabla so we should chop them (immediate impacts, short/medium term impact), when this is more like assuming things and how they can affect long long term stuff
What's the coffee tell? I feel like there's a story behind that.
p-edit:
I don't really get this from your original post either, tbh, it seemed like you were just objecting bc it set a bad precedent rather than anything specific to the situation.

I kind of agree here tbh and it feels like he's later trying to massage the post into something less overtly principle-y, which seems weird to me.Carotenoid wrote: ↑Tue Sep 01, 2020 6:58 pmI think the big difference is that policy chops are meant to have immediate impact while in this case it's to have a looong term including post-game impact which is much more global/something you think with a certain detachment
Being skeptical on principle is exactly what I find scummy, feels fabricated

PSI's convictions on cayvie seemed to fold very quickly under pressure. Or, not even pressure, but just other people having different reads. Feels a little bit like trying not to stand out too much. Maybe a slight scumlean.
Neutron has really only made one substantive post, want to reserve judgment until I see more.
I'm feeling you and cayvie as town mostly for gut reasons right now.

I do think reading too much into psi's tone is ill-advised though. That wasn't my intent with my callout of her. I can confirm as well that she always writes like this. But also, I feel like she was good at using her posting style to her advantage when she was mafia before, so I feel wary of TRing her based on this as you seem to be?
Still, I'm not sure she's my prime suspect atm. Going to go back and read over the thread more carefully.

Re: Avatar The Last Airbender Mafia
Uh, sort of? Carotte asked me specifically for reads on the people I already did have meta experience with, but most of them hadn't really made any posts, and I wanted to have something rather than just saying 'they're all null!' This was kinda my strongest feeling at the time based on the, like, 3 posts the people I already knew had made. But to be honest I'm not super attached to this read so... ehh.Dragon D.

I followed your first post about her, but I don't have meta experience with PSI. The other guy who does have it defended her after I made that case. But now that people are calling the case in question, you decide to remind us that you know her meta and change your read to a more null one?
The read wasn't based on tone/writing style, bc I do know she always writes like this. I understand people who don't know her reading her tone as suspicious, but my read was based more on the fact that she seemed to not be trying to have her reads stand out. I feel like chardonnay may have confused my post and your post on PSI and thought that I was calling out PSI's tone, which I was not, even if I was pointing at the same post. But at the same time I disagree with chardonnay here that the tone is a meta reason to townread her either, because she's good at maintaining that tone regardless of alignment ime.
[mention]chardonnay[/mention] you didn't really specify why you're feeling psi as town beyond 'she often comes across as appeasing' -- could you go into more detail? For me, meta experience would seem to imply she should be floating somewhere around the middle, I'm not sure where you're getting town from.

Re the other stuff going on:
Count me in as not a fan of Jiwon's posting this game either. "inactivity is NAI" doesn't apply when the person is posting but just choosing not to engage.
I don't really see the suspicion of cayvie, or at least I don't see myself voting for Cayvie today when there are better options on the table.
I can also get behind the LC wagon. I don't feel like he's contributed a whole lot of original stuff beyond mechanical speculation and agreeing with other people's reads.
I'll do [VOTE: long con] aubergine for now.
also why does it say aubergine whenever people vote lol

This is a post that wants us to narrow our eyes at UG, but without making us think "Cassowary wants us to vote UG". That's scummy.

Re: Avatar The Last Airbender Mafia
I concur with Neutron on the futility of tone-reading PSI. (Pedit: but I disagree w/ him on U-G's posts coming from town)
I don't really know how to respond to the description of my playstyle as "reactive" or "trying to blend in." I mean, yes, I am reacting to stuff in the thread and giving my thoughts on it. And if I'm trying to blend, I'm apparently doing a terrible job at it.
Truth be told, I'm generally pretty bad at d1 stuff -- I usually don't really know what to say early on, I tend to do better with solving-type stuff in the later game. And I'm definitely feeling that hard right now.
I guess here's thoughts:
I feel like chardonnay and carotenoid in particular have been pushing me hard into "consensus scumread" territory based on mostly "I just feel like cassowary's posts have a weird tone"-type stuff, which I don't really know how to defend against, but it feels kind of like something you can say without much to back it up.
I stand by my LC vote at the time, and I still find his... aggressive response to suspicions of him a little strange, but also I don't know him and maybe this is just how he is always? The people who know him don't seem concerned, at least.
U-G continues to seem nervous. That paranoid response to the post that wasn't about him was very strange, and this isn't really the kind of tone I normally see from him. I can definitely see these posts coming from a U-G who's nervous at rolling scum on a new site with a bunch of people he doesn't know.
Regarding Jiwon, it's unfortunate that he hasn't contributed literally anything, but in my recent experience that doesn't really mean anything as regards alignment. (It's just Cave of the Past all over again...) So I'm wary of casting a vote based purely on shitpostiness because I've led that charge in the past and been horribly wrong.
I am going to sleep but will be back tomorrow morning before EOD. I'm going to move my vote onto U-G so I'm at least putting it to slightly more productive use??

Re: Avatar The Last Airbender Mafia
Excuse double post here, I'm on my phone so quoting is annoying, but this is not why I voted LC. Perhaps I should have made my case using more quotes of LC at the time, but his ISO at the time was like mostly mechanical speculation (elements and hypothetical vote-restricted mafia role) and a couple off topic posts, then he sort of vaguely agreed with the psi case, then suddenly jumped back in with a vote on Cayvie. It kind of read to me as all over the place, like he wasn't really paying attention to the thread very much.DJ Neutron Star wrote: ↑Thu Sep 03, 2020 2:05 am it reads like cassowary just sort of choosing someone who was being voted and naming some generic scumtell that could apply to them at the time
He's had more to say now though, but that was my reasoning at the time. Just want to clear that up.

What makes you so confident about this?
---
To be real here, this is going to sound kind of silly, but I think part of the reason people who played with me before are reading me badly on tone is because we just (like, last week) finished a game that lasted like 3 months, where it was only my second time playing mafia, and I survived almost to the end of the game, so I think I had to adjust the way I usually reason about the game to make that work. I think I'm still having a bit of trouble getting back into the town mindset, like, I have to actually put effort into thinking about the game state and not throw shade at random people just to try to get them killed?? Lame!! I hope that makes sense. Like, I've still got to change gears in my brain a little bit, so I might be coming across different than usual. But maybe for example I should cut chardonnay etc some slack on reading me as vaguely suspicious. Sorry guys.

Your argument also doesn't really mesh with the reason you gave for your vote? Like you justified it based off of agreeing to much and mechanics talk and generally being too passive it seems like you're arguing the opposite right now. There's a weird mindset thing, shouldn't people saying lc tends to be an agressive player make you more suspicious of a slow start, not less?cassowary wrote: ↑Thu Sep 03, 2020 7:19 pmReally?

cass's original vote for reference:Spoiler: show
I don't think I'm undermining my own arguments here. It's sort of, tone vs content? Like, I wouldn't say my initial vote was based on him seeming "passive" -- even as he wasn't really engaging with a lot of what was going on, his tone was still very blunt, and his actual writing doesn't come across as passive at all. That combination of tone and content seems dangerous to me because posting with an aggressive tone can make people not want to call you out even if you haven't had a lot to say at all. That's a very advantageous position for a mafia to be in. People saying LC always tends to be aggressive makes me less confident that he's specifically cultivating this to give him an advantage as mafia, at least, but I still want to keep an eye on him over content level.
Compare, say, PSINE, who does always tend to post in a very "hedge-y" way, which might come across as kind of passive, but she's obviously paying attention to what's going on in the game and forming opinions on it. (also she always writes like that so the tone is pretty nai)
I'll do some catching up on the rest of the thread now.

Aw man, not the doc. :'(
For posterity, here's the reads post I was working on before the thread got locked:
(I know there's a lot in here that's based on people's opinions of me, but like... everyone's talking about me, so)
Nutella -- unless nutella's playing some kind of long game and trying hard to pocket me instead of just going for the easy misyeet for some reason, I think nutella's soul townread on me looks very good.
DDL -- I like DDL's, style, I guess? He's putting pressure on people and seems to be thinking through what's happening in the game. Also I think I just agree with a lot of his reads? And his sudden push near eod away from me onto Neutron looks v good fmpov
PSI -- I'm mostly putting PSI high bc I like her energy and I agree with a lot of her reads
Cayvie -- similar to DDL, I just like her posts, and her reasoning feels legit
Alison -- still trust her on the NU claim
DrWilgy -- hasn't had a lot to say, honestly, and I'm not a huge fan of this type of gamestate-speculation(?) reasoning as someone's main contribution
Fatmo/Dov -- keeping these two somewhere around the middle bc I don't really remember much of what they've done tbh
U-G -- as U-G has posted more he's kinda floated back up in my reads, my initial SR was mostly tone-based anyway so ehh reconsidering
Neutron -- I feel like Neutron has come across this way before when he's playing as town, like, we flipped neutron d1 for very similar reasons in this deeply stupid mafiascum game. I'm kinda sus on Neutron but not my biggest suspicion right now, kind of a meta read.
Jack -- looking through jack's ISO he has actually posted a fair amount but has said very little. Not a huge fan of "someone sell me on a wagon" -- looks like he's looking for an excuse to jump on someone
Carotenoid -- maybe this is just because she keeps pushing me . But I just don't really feel like I trust her at this point in time. She kind of voted me w/ little explanation and then all her reads list afterwards had on me was like the psi thing and 'reshuffling ideas' (??) and i'm the top suspicion for like half the roster? hmm
Chardonnay -- I feel like chardonnay and carotenoid have been kinda playing the same game here tbh. I mean this is basically the same vague stuff carotte was throwing at me. and i don't know what to do with this. also, if you think I'm scum why are you worried about carot setting up a mutually exclusive relationship between me and you. . . hmm
LC -- he still kinda seems like he's not super engaged. and what was up w/ that vote eod1. bad look [p-edit @ alison: yeah, openwolfing, that's the thing he's doing. the gif is a tell, a tell i say

Like in this situation, I'd just kill cayvie and watch her shout from dvc as I pull off the exact same trick all over again. Guaranteed Town/Wolf wagons are an absolute godsend in this scenario because it lets you know exactly what's gonna happen the next day. As a wolf team, this is the time when your advantage of tmi is strongest. You basically get a stranglehold on the game, you know exactly what you need to do to maximize cred, and as the wolf taking the fall you just catch onto any townies starting to be wrong and just make sure that they are punished hard for not having tmi and that the next days well be suffering and solveless as town starts killing itself.

On the other hand, would a wolf immediately jump out and go 'oh see I'm cleared!'? Seems a bit on the nose. And so on around in circles. WIFOM.

Re: Avatar The Last Airbender Mafia D2
Perhaps a miswording, didn't mean to imply that post was your only contribution or whatever
But it kind of seems like you've posted reads but not really justified them beyond like speculation about general factors? like this is the other post where you discussed reads on people but you're kind of just agreeing with carot and listing suspicions without much reasoning there imo
and the other post i linked which is ">=1 of these 4 is a wolf based on gamestate" which... ok sure but that's true 80% of the time of four random people (assuming 2:1 town:mafia ratio)
Idk, I'm willing to chalk it up to difference in play style but I'm curious if you have opinions about the actual events that have gone down, beyond 'one of the wagons was probably mafia'?

Re: Avatar The Last Airbender Mafia D2
I actually noticed that as well cayvie. I'm wondering if I'm interpreting that correctly. I messaged nanook about it to ask for clarification just a bit ago but no response yet.
But like... what if the poisoner and the doc who heals poison were on the same team...
Also maybe this means we shouldn't trust alison so much just on the basis of 'role seems unlikely to be assigned to mafia' lol

Re: Avatar The Last Airbender Mafia D2
Update: nanook replied to me and apparently it's correct that the doctor (eg) could have been mafia had the rolls worked out differently.
So this changes how we should think about roleclaims for sure I think. Roles and flavor might match up (given Katara's powers in the show this seems likely) but that won't tell us anything about alignment.

And PSI is correct here, but this logic actually applies to all roles.PSINightmareEmpower wrote: ↑Fri Sep 04, 2020 11:56 pm Worth noting that Gladiator works on both factions (in fact, on Starmen we had a mafia-aligned Gladiator who claimed to be town) so even if Marcher proves their ability it doesn't clear them.

wait, "neutron is scum -> MJ is scum" implies "MJ is town -> neutron is town," because you're ruling out the world where Neutron is scum but MJ is town. it's the contrapositive

Re: Avatar The Last Airbender Mafia
Ok, yeah, I think given the information asymmetry between scum and town this reasoning does check out.Alison wrote: ↑Sat Sep 05, 2020 4:47 pm Ah, I see the issue. I am falsely representing a non-absolute inference as an absolute one. That is, suppose we flip Neutron scum. Then we have to assume that MJ is scum who is defending him. The possibility of MJ being town who was thunderdomed by nutella and defending a wolf is just too low for us to do anything but execute her. But this is technically a supposition or judgement of probabilities, and not a strict logical inference, which I wrongly phrased it as.
So it's better to say that I don't think that Neutron is scum logically implies MJ is scum. Rather, I think that the revelation of Neutron being scum would make MJ the correct execute in almost all worlds. But, the same doesn't apply the other way around, because if we know that MJ is town, we are more obliged to seriously consider the coincidence where MJ really was just a townie who had some extreme bad luck in terms of reads and pushes. And the reason we have to consider that coincidence more in scenario 2 than in scenario 1, is because in scenario 2 we already know that MJ is a townie!
Sorry chardonnay -- question was "what are your thoughts on eod1" and I thought my reads list kinda answered this but my thoughts on eod1 are basically:chardonnay wrote: ↑Sat Sep 05, 2020 1:41 amI did notice you ignored the question below, so thanks for that.
- I like DDL a lot for pushing away from me onto Neutron. I think scum DDL would just let the misyeet go through on me.
- Tbh not sure how I feel about Neutron. Not as suspicious of Neutron as others seem to be, kind of meta read that I've had similar feelings about him d1 before and worry about acting on them too soon.
- Not totally sure what to make of this dov thing either. I'm not sure I buy the coaching argument since he seems like he legit wasn't sure what's going on (and ToS/other short mafia games have very different norms around discussion iirc so the silent vote doesn't seem too weird in that light I don't think?)
- I'm kind of giving the side-eye to Jack's no-vote and LC's vanity-vote, not super scummy on their own but kinda weird.
- Really don't like Jovian coming in with the push on me like they did.

Not-hammerable is when you want to unvote -- you just want to take your vote off. The poll doesn't let you select no option, so that's the option you pick if you want to not have a vote after you already voted.
Hammerable is voting to end the day with a no-kill. If that's the leading vote at eod (I think), no one will be killed that day.
I mean, you could read up on the thread and give your thoughts on the people you think are acting suspicious... and maybe even cast a vote yourself? :Odov wrote: ↑Sun Sep 06, 2020 10:03 pm Also, if you guys truly think I'm scum, please just vote for me already. I didn't have a good start in the game because I wasn't sure what was happening but if you want to get rid of some suspicion, may as well vote me off because I'm sure as time goes on, you will only think I'm scum. I don't think there's any other way I can persuade otherwise, do what you must do.

Me, I'm still not really seeing any compelling non-wifomy evidence not to vote Jovian. So I'm gonna vote for Jovian. That stuff they said on why nutella's death clears them is too weird to ignore. And they kinda ghosted a bunch of D2 when it looked like they were going to die that day, which is exactly the kind of behavior I'd expect from cornered mafia.

(I also think LC and Wilgy seem like likely investigation candidates, and PSI just blatantly TRing Wilgy with no explanation when a bunch of other people were putting him in their PoE mafia club definitely gives credibility to the idea that Wilgy was green-checked)

I could be wrong but I'm really not feeling dov as scum
I mean, what is there on dov even? The silent vote? If he comes from a context of playing faster mafia games where voting is handled more casually then I think it's not too suspicious.
Idk it just feels like dov is being set up as a really easy misflip where mafia can go 'oh, well, he was actually suspicious though! we all make mistakes!'
It's possible dov really is scum but I'd really much rather flip someone else today.

I haven't really been that suspicious of Dov ever though. I haven't voted him at all iirc and I mentioned these thoughts on him a while ago and nothing's really changed there. He was mostly there before because I haven't had much of a read on him all game and I trusted other people more.
But as is I really don't see myself voting outside {Carotte, Cayvie, DDL, Fatmo} today.

I really think Carotte's interactions w/ confirmed maf look not great tbh. Like what Carotte says about U-G in these few posts strikes me as very possible w/w. And Carotte voted MJ d2, but didn't have much to say on it tbh, looks kinda like bussing for town cred when it was obvious Jovian was going down (i mean Jovian already had 3 votes at this point and already had attracted substantial suspicion).chardonnay wrote: ↑Sun Sep 13, 2020 2:13 am @cassowary were you able to reread the game?

Looking back I can see cayvie's posts coming from maf as well (though i'm feeling stronger about Carot atm) and I feel bad for weirding myself away from voting cayvie yesterday. But I'm not sure I really have anything concrete on Cayvie other than PoE? But if it's PoE it could be Fatmo or Dov as well... hm. I'm a little confused atm :/

CarotxDov is a bit left field, but more possible then other DoV teams. Only weird thing is DoV openly saying that he was sheeping Carotte N1. Almost seems like too uncomfortable a thing for mafia to confess doing to another mafia. Espeasly when DoV was already p nervous about how he was perceived.

Re: Avatar The Last Airbender Mafia
Gonna try and sell myself on the cayvie case too I guess
Looking at cayvie/UG interactions...
I believe the only time cayvie mentioned UG pre-flip was in this ordering:
I can see a mafia member putting one of their partners in the 'would vote but not that happy about it' category for sure.
It is a little weird though because the other scum we know in this list is KS (who was replaced by Jovian). If it's cayvie/dov and cayvie's only partner who's around is UG, does cayvie put UG under "would vote"? I don't know actually -- maybe, if she knew KS was getting replaced soon.
If it's cayvie/carotte (possible but maybe unlikely? Will look into the possibility of this team later I guess) then scum!cayvie puts one of her partners as top townread? Idk about this either tbh but I can see this working if it was Cayvie/Carotte/UG/KS and the goal was to get Cayvie and/or Carotte deep.
I guess cayvie not having anything to say on UG before UG flipped mafia is kind of sketch though. Afterwards she did all those analyses of interactions with UG (though leaving herself out of course)
Hmm ok starting to think maybe I should just vote cayvie get gravy lol

U-G casting kinda weird shade at psi for calling out cayvie? "You don't feel scummy but this is weird". PSI's post doesn't really read weird to me, it's asking for an elaboration on a vague post in response to something she said.

They could have easily said “oh shoot you’re right” and blended RIGHT back in. This doesn’t feel like someone with something to hide ya know?
Yeah the more I read the more I’m seeing a townie actively trying to solve the game to the best of their ability and not concerning themselves with trying to be not noticed. I’m feeling a better town read I think.
This like "well i think town read but hmm maybe could be mafia oh gee but probably not" strikes me as possible w/w stuffUltimate-Gamer wrote: ↑Fri Sep 04, 2020 11:57 amCayvie: ISO'd. Also town. Unlike Alison, I CAN see a universe where Cayvie is scum, but her actions make MORE sense as town. She's active, she's solving the game, she's putting herself out there in a way that would be counterintuitive as scum. Pretty good town lean.
Hmm ok starting to think maybe I should just vote cayvie get gravy lol

Re: Avatar The Last Airbender Mafia D4
So, you think there's mafia in { me, chardonnay, fatmo }?
Isn't it possible mafia just killed off one of the green-checked people because they didn't want to narrow the pool of unconfirmed town?

Going back over some early cayvie/carotte stuff rn
I said it was weird U-G gave thoughts on cayvie that were based on really old stuff and I do think it's interesting that U-G's logic there mirrors this Carot post from p1:
Carotte actually pretty heavily defends Cayvie against a lot of the people looking to vote her d1:Carotenoid wrote: ↑Tue Sep 01, 2020 1:18 pmI think cayvie is townie because in a t!Alison world a wolf would probs be more likely to believe the claim immediately rather than try to undermine it. (her reply to your post was like 2 minutes after) Her motivation seems to be heavily experience/~emotions based in a way that's more "townie being careful" than "scum trying to discredit".
Spoiler: show
This is a gutsy move if the team was carotte/cayvie/ug/jovian tbhCarotenoid wrote: ↑Thu Sep 03, 2020 7:38 am [VOTE: Jiwon] aubergine
Hmn I realized that I might not be able to be around for EoD :/
Anyway. I think my preferred flip is Jiwon. Would be okay with cassowary, DDL or DJ too. Don't want to flip cayvie or UG.
Idk, other people let me know your thoughts on a Carotte/Cayvie mafia pairing
dov/fatmo are PoE too, though

Re: Avatar The Last Airbender Mafia D4
To clarify here, had mafia killed off Fatmo, they'd essentially narrow the mafia pool down to you, Carot, and dov, where 2/3 of those were mafia. Bad odds. Fatmo isn't remotely cleared by this of course, but I don't think killing LC means as much as you're making it out to mean.
