It’s cool.

Return to “Avatar The Last Airbender Mafia postgame”
Yes but it's not just "oh Jack is hard to flip." It's like "Jack lives on the null to scumlean range and is somehow hard to flip in spite of being widely suspected." So I always look choppable. So I tend to not get NKed (except recently after a few good towngames). It's perfectly possible, though.chardonnay wrote: ↑Tue Sep 08, 2020 10:35 amYou are normally hard to flip right?Jackofhearts2005 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 08, 2020 10:07 amI know Wilgy, DDL and LC very well and I've played with Cayvie once.

Who on the roster do you have a lot of experience with? who here have you had no/little experience with?
Never played with anyone else here.
Im thinking the burn is from a mafia aligned player with experience on you who is aware that you're a hard flip to make. And know their lock-burning you since theres a healer left somewhere, and don't want to healer saving more soft-clears.
I think you're both pretty close to reality.chardonnay wrote: ↑Tue Sep 08, 2020 2:22 am WE could all post a list of the scummiest to least scum, and average it out. Or post Alison's list and tweak it until we're all sadisfied

Does it matter? At this point, credit for a correct or incorrect chop on Marcher is basically locked in and the votes are just a formality, right?PSINightmareEmpower wrote: ↑Tue Sep 08, 2020 1:05 am All righty, that works I guess. How do we want to do this? Popcorn style like Alison suggested before her death? Or everybody votes whoever? Popcorn style is harder when the votes don't reset, but if we think that's a good idea, everyone who's already voted can just move their vote to No Vote temporarily.
I can also make a list of scummiest to least scummiest players if need be.
This is all such soltball, it doesn't do much for me, especially given Noot already flipped.Ultimate-Gamer wrote: ↑Wed Sep 02, 2020 5:23 pm PSINE calling Cayvie out feels.... Odd? Like, not scummy odd but more like "I'm out of my element and kinda making things up as I go and things are escalating because of it"??? It's hard to explain.
What I DO think is scum PSINE would have dropped the issue sooner if she were scum imo. Like I don't think it'd be wise to call so much attention to herself wheen she didn't have to, and I think she knows that.
I CAN see scum neutron SEEING that interaction and seeing an opportunity to cast shade.
That's all from just an iso of Nooter. so, like, SLIGHT scum reads here? But I wanna iso PSINE as well and get a bigger picture here

Yeah I didn't want my FIRST iso to be a null read so I kinda put a gun to my head and said "Nooter slightly scummy" even though it's closer to null.
Im not sure what to make of you lamp shading your own actions so quickly UG haha. You seem pretty ill at ease rn.
So I'm kinda, just talking. I'm just gonna kinda say whatever comes to me and then judge people based on how they react to that.
That's worked for me before so even if I can't fall back on familiar metas, there's always That.
And sorry if people were trying to address me before this, I'm still at work, I'll try to find time later.
Yeah, Chard is probably just town here.Ultimate-Gamer wrote: ↑Thu Sep 03, 2020 3:50 amI… Suppose… I guess I never saw it that way.

I REALLY feel like Grendel would know that? Like, how anxious I am in new situations and stuff... It feels REALLY weird that he'd throw that kind of shade and then keep on about it. Like, REALLY weird... This actually legit feels like a scummy Grendel play...
Im not sure where I "kept on about it" as I think the only other time before this I mentioned it was because Alison attributed it to Cassowary instead of me.
The remark was jab to see if I could elicit a response from you. It did. Im thinking its a town response. Im aware of your tendency to be wary of me means that as town you'd be prone to aggression me here, meanwhile scum you would pull back in this situation.
Anywho, that’s not what I’m here for. I got JUST enough time before I pass out on my keyboard to actually get some reads in and ISO some people.
I WAS gonna do people from my home site, Chardonnay, Cassowary, Nooter, Carot and PSINE.
And while I still wanna get those people sorted, ESPECIALLY Chardonnay who’s response is… Fine? I REALLY wanna get him sorted sooner rather than later.
But I think it’s MORE pressing that I analyze some of these mini wagons we got here. I feel like that would lend where I stand better to the town better than strictly home site group.
So so far we got:
Cassowary
Cayvie
DJ Neutron Star
Jiwon
Long Con
Let’s start with Cassowary.. I gotta admit their opening here feels… Disingenuous a bit? I’m getting vibes of “This is a first post that a townie makes” and it doesn’t feel quite… Real. Their read on PSINE feels this way too. I feel like they’re taking advantage of a good opportunity to paint someone as “wishywashy”. Especially when they themselves pull back after getting just a little pressure.
I DO like the game solving they do later on though with Jiwon and Cayvie. And then later when really pushed they just kinda throw their hands up and say “I don’t know what to tell ya bud” just sounds like a cornered townie who doesn’t know what to say. AND their vote on me feels legitimate. Like despite the behavior in the beginning THIS read feels like there was honest thought behind it and NOT someone trying to pretend. Even if that conclusion is wrong.
This… Might be a hot take but… I’m getting more of a townie lean from this.
Okay let’s move onto Cayvie
Starts of explaining the divisions in the elements and characters… Kinda gets into it with Alison about power roles… Gets really heated with Alison… I don’t Know Cayvie very well but from a scum perspective, what would be gained by this? Like, I’d like to imagine that if Cayvie was startin to but heads with Alison, what would they gain by keeping it up and standing their ground on this? 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.
Now for Nooter:
I stand by what I said before, Nooter’s read against PSINE was not the best. It feels like someone taking advantage of a situation and then does it again with Cassowary.... It’s still kinda nullish but I’m starting to feel better about a scum read on Nooter here…
I’m also starting to get VERY tired and can kinda feel my thoughts slipping a bit. I still wanna do Jiwon and Long Con.
But before I do I’d LIKE to get some people’s thoughts.
@chardonnay @PSINightmareEmpower
Mind lending me your thoughts about this Nooter here? Does it feel like "taking advantage" to you?
Of the players still alive, I think this is a good look for Chard and to a degree, for PSINE and kinda middling for Cayvie and Cass. It would generally not be hard to see one of Cayvie or Cass as scum off this and previous posts.Ultimate-Gamer wrote: ↑Fri Sep 04, 2020 11:57 amgood morning lovely people.
hey, full disclosure, im having some serious irl problems. I've not even been able to look at the game much. still. ive spoken with the gm, if i cant get my issues sorted out soon i might need to drop![]()
anywho, i figure the best thing i can do right NOW is give you what reads i do have so that y'all can better sort my slot. if i cant do anything super productive, at least ill get to help you out.
So! Let's get started with my reads so far based on what little I've ISO'd and read throughout the game:
Alison: Mega town energy here. Everything feels genuine, from what I've seen she's been active and trying to solve the game. Probably my biggest town read so far, I have a hard time seeing a universe where Alison is scum.
Carot: Similar energy to Alison but not as strong. We share similar reads on Nooter which makes me feel better in my asersion. Town
Cassowary: Town. Like I said before, this might be a hot take, but Cassowary's reactions to being pushed to NOT feel like panicked scum trying to play it cool. they feel like a frustrated townie who doesn't know what to say so they're trying to defend themselves while also simultaneously trying to solve the game. It's a good response and I like it a lot. I really REALLY feel like this was a good, easy yeet for potential scum to latch onto.
Cayvie: 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.
Chard: I'm... Hesistent still. He backed off me when I made a response which again felt fine... I still have a weird feeling about him. Especially posts like this:
feel like he's seeding doubt so he can have an excuse to scum read later ya know? but at the same time the rest of his posts feel pretty genuine. I'm getting FEELINGS about this slot but I can't tell what those feelings are one way or the other.chardonnay wrote: ↑Fri Sep 04, 2020 3:41 am Aww I guess DoV had to go.
Im partially concerned that his intsa trust in Carrot is b/c he randed mafia, and knew she was town from the start.
But I feel inclined to not jump on him, as he is probably easily sorted over time. A lot of new players are.
Nooter: I went into more detail in my last post but if there was a slot that I HAD to scum read it'd probably be this one. Granted I haven't taken a good look at a lot of the player roster, AND considering Nooter was basically the counter wagon to Jiwon... I think that says something but i'm not sure what. During my ISO several of his posts gave me uneasy vibes, and the more I think about this slot the better I feel about those. I'm actually gonna move this to a scum lean.
Nutella: One of the people who came after me prettty hard. And... I liked their reasoning. Their gut reads felt VERY genuine. Getting very similar vibes like I do with Alison and Carot. Their read was wrong, sure, but it feels better than a lot of the posts that I get from both Nooter and Chard. This is someone trying to solve the game for real. Strong town.
PSINE: I'm kinda wary about this. It's still a town lean, for sure, but y'all have never played with PSINE before, her MO between town and scum does not change a lot, her behavior FEELS genuine and townie, but I'm still very hesitent to sort her one way or the other.
If I didn't mention someone that means I dont' have anything to say because I haven't really read enough of their posts to make a call. Hopefully that helps. If you have any questions or anything feel free to ping me and I'll answer asap.
Yeah, both of these. That's what tends to happen when there's a consensus wolf who escapes chop.

I thought it was you because you’re the only one that’s been pressuring me, hence my “legacy is Char is town.” But I’ve been getting more and more the impression (especially after the second poison on me) that I’ve been incorrect in that assumption. To the point that I don’t mind saying it out loud.

Then again, I have only dealt with poisoning and healing in a handful of mashes so maybe I’m entirely ignorant on what the optimal strategic use of the power is.

That said, Marcher is more likely a baddie.
Hes been in my null reads for most the game.

Generally agreed.Alison wrote: ↑Fri Sep 04, 2020 8:07 pmAlso I want to point out that I don't actually believe this is true and it sounds like something you made up to support your narrative. On a purely mechanical level, it makes more sense to kill me and cayvie, because I'm being townread a lot more than cayvie and cayvie isn't particularly dangerous to your stated "what I'd do if I was scum here" plan.Marcher Jovian wrote: ↑Fri Sep 04, 2020 4:30 pm 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.
The other issue here, I think, is that if you were scum you'd have teammates. Your plan is long and detailed, but it's also very specific and based on your specific experience in Pyre Mafia. It is not out of the question, to me, that you may have proposed such a thing in mafia chat, and your teammates shot it down or outvoted you because they felt too threatened by nutella's ability to get you executed the next day, perhaps even telling you to bring that narrative up as a reason why you would never make the nutella kill.

Healing Hands: You can choose to either Protect a player at night (a doc save) or Heal a player during the day (a poison heal). You cannot use them in consecutive phases (i.e., if you use a Protect on N1, you cannot use the Heal D2, etc.). You are town, and you win when all the mafia are dead.

I'm just saying that if there are 4 wagons and 1 of them is a wolf, then any movement towards any other wagon could be defending a wolf.

This is the kind of post mafia makes to shade a townie. It's an indirect way of attacking them ("you seem pretty ill at ease") that is difficult to defend yourself against or pick apart (because the snap response is, "hey, that's just how I felt"), but is also couched in a hedgy way ("I'm not sure what to make of you...") that removes accountability for the read if UG flips town.
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.

Just a note as we are looking at tied votes between 4 people.
Often I think a gamestate like this is indicative of being on the right path and that wolves have attempted to open counter wagons.
There must most definitely be a wolf amongst Cayvie, Cass, Ji or LC.
