Hello Dyslexicon,

How are you doing and how motivated are you for this game?

Belzy! I’m happy that you’re playing.

And I’m not very motivated for this game, at least not until at least half of us has died. Hope we all die soon.

But also there’s a lot of pretty hot and cute people in this game, so that helps.

I have one read and that is Guillo town. I’ll explain if that is controversial, but I don’t expect it to be.

What does GB stand for?

Spoiler: show

Did I do it? Did I make a brexit joke?

I saw exactly one post from guillo last night and my gut was leaning towards town as well. I don't remember what that post was

He said he was gonna destroy wolves and gets things done on his own. And I kind of buy it, seems unnecessary flowery as a mafia lie.

Where does the lack of motivation come from?

And thank you, I am happy too!

Too many words I don’t want to read, too many players to keep track of, knowing that it probably won’t matter what I do in the end cause I’m just one cog and lol role madness, plus I’m writing on my phone right now and I hate that lol

Doesn’t mean I can’t have fun though. SO MUCH FUN

That's how I feel about Belzy.
I searched my own name to fill my ego, and you are the only one who mentioned just me in a post before I started posting. And also thank @Marmot for the signing up appreciating that I am playing. I have not played Mafia in a while, but I do remember enjoying both of you two.

One of my weaknesses is playing a 20+ people game, let alone 33 people, though I only counted 32 players showing up in the Discord server, but it feels like an honour to participate in a yearly champ game. If anyone has good advice how to play day 1 in such big game... i wanna play a good town game finally again, and solve and lynch the scummies.
I agree keeping up with a game this huge is hard at first sometimes. I'm a bit out of practice as well but trying to get back into having another good game for once. I'm pretty sure no one ever would have picked me for a scum team because I haven't had a good game in a long time. Hoping to change that though.
Scum pick their own teammates this game? Is this for real?

Lolwat

See this is why I can’t take this game seriously

No offense

Worship the demons tbh

Scum can pick roles or players. If I had to pick, I’d definitely pick roles. Seems way more powerful, and picking people just seems like a ehhhh kind of mechanic. But that’s just me.

Picking the mafia team was done once at PerC in a game where the IC was mafia. Yeah. Think about that lol

Master Radishes wrote: ↑Sat Jan 29, 2022 6:53 am Also, as someone who never reads the OP...did no one read the OP?

Like the first lines from Nanook demand and plead with you to read it. It has clearly stated from the beginning the whole 'choose mates or choose roles' thing.

No one is allowed to be derpcleared from this.

I actually did read the “please read” part, and then I thought “I’ll do it later” lol. Sorryyy.

I am writing on my phone too. I don't play Mafia that much on computer/laptop anymore. Fun always come first.

So what can we expect from you this game? Because I do think it matters what you do, and you don't come across townly this way.

I don’t know what you can expect from me, and I don’t think having an expectation is a great way to approach me read wise.

At least I think you are town cause I don’t see you intentionally fake derp like this. Unless you just didn’t know as mafia as well, which is possible ig. But also who cares. Please join the town core.

I've only played one game with Guillo, he was scum, and what you bring up feels entirely NAI for him.

That said, if I had to compare one game of scum meta to this game so far, I'd lean him being Town too. He was a bit...more shouty/aggro in his exaggerations in the scum game (Spiderverse I think), whereas here he is just sorta firmly stating his takes.

Maybe. But of the few posts I looked at that is the one I remember as hitting as genuine rather than fake. I could be wrong, but I’m also often not wrong in early impressions. I just talk myself out if them later and crumble.

Jpic is probably ok too if I had to guess.

Belzy, you can at least call me Dizzy lol

Marmot wrote: ↑Fri Jan 28, 2022 11:49 pm Dear wolves,

Let’s make this clear so you don’t waste your time: I will not be one of your miselims this game.

You will soon think I could be, of course. Even with the postcap I will likely not be able to keep up with the tryhards on this roster, and I will inevitably be perceived as low-hanging fruit. ‘Marmot will be an easy chop’ you’ll think. ‘Probably a flash wagon candidate.’

But you will be mistaken. You simply won’t be able to mis-elim me. Not this time. I will pull out the WIM when I need to. I have tricks up my sleeves. In fact, save me the energy and just treat this post as an inno child claim. I am for all your intents and purposes untouchable. If you decide you want me out of this game, you will need to spend a kill on me.

It is not your fault you randed wolf, and I am nothing if not sympathetic to an unfortunate rand, so I give you this warning now to help you plan around it. Everyone deserves a fair shot.

In the words of Descartes, ‘I post therefore I am town’. Or, in the words of a more modern philosopher, ‘U Kant touch this’.

Good luck, wolves. Just don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Town

On page 16 or something

Town:
Alexa
Guillo
Sean
Marmot
Belzy
Ilario

This list could probably be longer, but these are the people I care more about.

Did the "LP slipped" thing ever get explained. Cause I didn't see anything. I don't think LP having weird/rigid logic is scummy for them. The way they called so many people scummy is kind of towny imo.

I don't really have any scum reads, but I would straight up yeet Sloonei here. He probably doesn't want to play because he's mafia.

So I guess I do have a scum read lol

We should not chop Marmot D1. He's probably town and in any case his alignment will show, and I'd rather have him around if he's town.

You wolfed with me and you know my wolf range is infinite.

Why cant i be a serial killer that slipped up? Why cant i be a performative wolf WIFOMing the heck out of the thread? Why townread me over something so weak that i can easily say as a wolf?

Yes.

I think she tried to fake a red check on her own partner and planned to retract it but i happened to ruin their little plan.

You're doing that thing again where you assume others would do pointless crazy shit just for the sake of it, but pretty sure Alexa and Nutella would never do that, because there would be no point to that. Everyone does not play as you do and this theory makes no sense. Alexa's peek is probably real and Nutella has a role that's somehow traditionally scummy, but that doesn't really have any bearing on her alignment. Except it might, cause mafia could pick roles.

Yup

Page 23.

Swap out Marmot with Nut in my town reads.

I've thought people outed themselves by calling me Dizzy before they knew me. Not exactly the same as the Alexa/Paopan situation, but I've never seen an actual slip like "you knew this from scum chat" before I think. Alexa very town for thinking this though. No read on Paopan.

Guillotine wrote: ↑Sat Jan 29, 2022 10:29 amIve seen it done by others as mafia and they rode on that towncred for the rext of the game to win. That was Arapocalyse and Apoc at Mafia Universe.

That's fine. I just don't at all think that's what Alexa and Nut would do if they were scum together here. Plus, I town read both for other reasons anyway, and I've been historically pretty ok at reading both. You do what you want, I'm just telling you my perspective.

Guillotine wrote: ↑Sat Jan 29, 2022 10:31 amDizzy…

I don't think you have an infinite scum range at all. I saw a post of yours that struck me as very genuine, and you've seemed consistent with both that intention and what I see as your town game after that too. So I think you're probably town. Sue me. It's really not that complicated. If you're not town, then great, we'll get there don't worry.

There is a non-zero chance I'm dying D1 because I decided to have fun on D1 in a casual champions game.

But I'mma do it for the vine.

I respect that 100 %. Good for you.

Did Guillo just listen to something I had to say? Un-ironically the least towny thing he's done so far lol

I've actually almost read the whole game, and it's D1. I'm proud of me, hope you are all proud of me.

I just had a thought. We should be really fucking careful with even hinting at roles this game. Mafia being able to pick roles would mean they would know what roles are in the game in the first place. Couple this with the soup mechanic of matching people to roles, and we could have impending doom waiting for us pretty fast if we're not careful. Which would be a really lame way for this game to go. So I strongly recommend just not outing roles this game.
