You're dreaming Master Radishes subbed into a mafia game you're playing.

That sound you hear? That's your alarm going off.

Wake up Thunal.

A couple nights ago I actually dreamed you flipped town.

Lol.

Dreams do come true.

Thunal33 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 02, 2020 4:08 pm I think wagoning NIK over someone else just because the slot needs to be resolved isn't good logic. I don't really like either the NIK or Poly wagons but I can't say I dislike them or object to them either. That's the problem when a large portion of the game doesn't give many takes.

Do you plan to land your vote somewhere or are you just gonna keep shrugging at all the options and grumble about not being happy with them?

If the wagons look like this later I'll probably vote NIK. I feel like I'm not comfortable/prepared to vote rn since I haven't had the time to ISO people and I don't have really strong suspects. I suspect you/NIK/Mac/Nova/maybe KZA somewhat.

I mean, I don't really think this is the gamestate where isoing is worth it. It's still pretty early in the game and we have exactly one known parameter (Jack) to work with. The thread is still mainly filled with villagers. We don't even know if the mafia will be making associations with each other.

There's nothing new to suddenly discover that will change the game right now. We need more flips first. Just toss your vote around however you want.

Well as far as I know not everyone here is doing a lot and Tutuu is in multiple games.

And I know for sure that I myself am contributing less than (at least I think) I normally do.

So I can't really find that to be a scummy AI.

Regardless of that though, I find her towny.

That's fair in a vacuum, but tutuu's flavour of inactivity has been to start active, drop off after pressure, and basically only pop in now and then to say 'lmao haven't read anything yet'.

I think I respect tutuu too much to consider it wolfy, though.

sig wrote: ↑Wed Dec 02, 2020 3:56 pm And can we really judge wagon size as an issue when Jack wagon was packed with people?

But I agree with this too. I don't see anything worrying about NIK's wagon and how/when it formed this Day.

In fact, wait, who said that...

sig wrote: ↑Wed Dec 02, 2020 3:56 pm I think the question for the NIK wagon is will they be a recurring thing? Like can the game move forward effectively if they're unflipped. Since if not now would be the time to do it when civs are ahead by this much. I'm back and forth on NIK I voted for them last phase partly to tie it just because and partly since I thought they were worse than Jack.

It still bugs me that NIK and Jack took so long to vote for each other and just gut wise.

We're clever people. I think we can handle it if we get to late-game with NIK unresolved.

Random take I haven't taken the time to elocute properly: something about sig's pop ins feels like they come without agenda or due to discomfort. Town lean.

@MrRadishes: Please explain to me your Falcon = town read to me. My day 0 snap-read was that he’s a wolf and comments like #2170 that throw subtle shade on people don’t make me feel any better.

Meta. I'm not locking it in because on the surface his scum game is similar, but his constant borderline tinfoily questioning of everything big and small combined with breezy banter is likely just town falc. The fact others who know him say the same is encouraging.

I see they're playing. Their iso is just awful, doesn't read like towny Ned-Nova at all.

Wasn't Kyle in Simpsons and also pretty deadly?

I think we still have a pretty wide PoE here tbh.

Yes, this is the 'Mafia' content you subscribe for.

In my opinion, it feels like it's Mafia's turn. With such a positive Day 1/Night 1 result it's hard to argue against doing anything other than continue in the direction we're currently heading in and reevaluate once we have more information (lynch results, Night 2, etc)

Yes, also this.

Thundercat wrote: ↑Wed Dec 02, 2020 2:17 am Either we're right or we're wrong. Got it

Exactly. We're on the same page.





To expand, I guess what I was ineloquently trying to say is that most conventional early rounds of Mafia see more debate, more wagon swings, etc as town tries to coalesce and find a consensus landing spot or two. This round feels like no one is trying very hard to explore all options. In my experience that should be a red flag that a portion of players are content with how things are going (i.e. scum are happy), but in this case it might just be the opposite, because if we're more or less collectively correct about the PoE (NIK, polypies, etc) then they don't strike me as the type of players capable of shaking up a towncore and will just be going with the flow for now. (And/or the scum don't know each other and don't know who they should be trying to protect.)

So basically I'm going to use this gamestate as an opportunity to also not fully engage, because I think we probably have a hit between NIK and Polypies, just as we did between SloonJack and NIK.

This game feels stale. It's either because we're barking up the right trees and the scum don't feel confident enough to stop us, or because we're barking up the wrong trees and the scum aren't stopping us.

Nah, Kaz posted 50 times in D1. That's not scum Kaz.

Bo was like 'I dunno what to do, who is Mac, sorry guys gonna sub out'.

I was null on BK, slight town lean if anything.

His iso reads like an insecure wolf trying to blend in amongst a engaged townie base.

But I'm willing to give Myo a chance to settle in. Not all sub-outs are wolves after all (*cough*).

I thought he might actually be town when Jack flipped red, but I'm pretty sure those were w/w wagons.
Town NIK would've made an attempt to clear himself by now.

Yeah, I was really hoping NIK may just be lost town, but this is not a good look.

Maybe. I think 112 still fits under the "I could create a reasonable narrative" section of my reads mush.

Hmm. I don't have a read on Thunal. I feel like I should. She's posted a lot.

Ponderous proclivities:

Falc and Flanders are town for meta reasons. Kaz too probably, though I think he's gone a bit quiet so far D2 so maybe he slips down a bit.

Nutella is town because she's getting little bites and gnawing at them, but without overdoing it or anything.

Mac is town because he insisted he'd slank and then couldn't help himself and is throwing around reads like he's super confident when he obviously is just throwing shit at a wall.

Alison is probably town, but I reserve a bit of hesitation because I've not seen anything that locks that in for me.

I just sort of like the sound of Made and Martin. I don't know why. They seem comfortable. These are vague impressions but ones I feel better about than others.



I don't think there's anyone else I feel ready to place firmly above the line. Some are pure null, others I could create a reasonable narrative where they're mafia if I wanted to.
