Return to “Christmas Time Is Here Again”
I behave well with everyone who behaves well with me, it's something that is quite clear from the moment I don't go around looking for aggressive reactions or insulting someone and you can see from my first go-ahead reactions until now.
Funny fact, i consider myself average.
Yup.
If I calmly read myself in the third person tomorrow and see that I have gone too far, I will do so privately by specifying what I have done wrong.
Nonono, If you are going to prove that I am a wolf then you will totally ruin the numbers that we handle in the P.O.E and it is no longer a 100% effective victory.Syn wrote: ↑Sat Dec 26, 2020 11:25 pmI exist in multitudes
If Samusamu isn't a woof, then Sloonei's POE is kinda proven right simply by virtue of limited choices available
But I think Samusamu outed themselves, so Sloonei's POE no longer concerns me. If the condition for others to have a gander at Samusamu is a GS chop, then that is acceptable, since this is not LYLO.
Cause kyle clearly didnt read the game and i have been an avocado and i have been in the poe list being town of a town strat to win the game and i had the same thoughts and said something pretty similar to that.
I support gs lynch and shooting kyle if u have put your mind in that statement.

Still waiting for an argument of me being wolf in this game. Still insulting me, still trolling still everything.
Stop laughing on me im really angry.
You have been and are blatantly disrespectful to the players throughout the game and yet above all you pretend to troll the game.
What judgments should I make of you, tell me? I had this debate in my community some time ago and it was agreed that it was preferable to have fewer players and fewer games as long as they were of quality and there were no players who with their actions so blatantly insulted the essence of this game and therefore spoiled the dynamics of it.
It seems to me that no one has ever stopped to tell you this to your face, but it's about time you realized your actions.
I tolerate that you simply don't show up or ignore players when asked and I have tolerated that and managed to read town to you during the game despite all the obstacles you have put in the way.
But I cannot tolerate that at a time like this you want to insult me to my face and think that I cannot reproach you for your attitude.
I'm comfortable with my play style and my personality. You can say whatever you like to my face; indeed, you have! You've expressed that I'm stupid, that I lack common sense, that I'm apparently ignorant born of evil (lmao), a troll, and yada yada yada. It's all very nice. That the only case you'll accept against you is one that matches you wall-for-wall is cool, but not something I'm going to spend my time doing... and I have been explicitly clear about that unwillingness since D1. I have offered the information that I'm willing to invest in providing. Whether others follow me or not is immaterial, and your hostility changes nothing about this.
I haven't even insulted you. I voted you and said that I think you're outed. If that's a grievous, unforgivable sin against you, what on earth is the absolute vile stuff you're spewing at me? C'mon, dude. I'm not engaging with you anymore on this or anything related to personality. If you'd like to talk about my case, as much as it may disappoint your standards, cool, but that's gonna be it for me.

I want all of your gift targets from this game. Please list them out from every night. If you forgot to submit and it was randomized, please find out what that random target was.
N2: Marmot
N3: Marmot
My purpose of this is to try to get more specifics and narrow down who did the gifting each night. Mafia already knows this, since they're the one who picks the target each night. How does this discussion hurt town?

Do you really think I am that stupid?
If I'm like that with you it's because I precessively want to prevent this from happening and I'm taking over from Slooney to finish the game and not let you or Wilgy spoil it with absurd ideas.

Say that part of my agenda, my posts or my intentions are mafia.
But to come and make a trolling/yolo vote when you promised to follow the Poe of Sloonei, when you've been afk more than half a game and making it difficult to read it is to insult me to my face, of course I'm hostile to this. I don't let this kind of situation happen in the forum where I come from or anywhere else, for me it's fine if you don't take the game seriously but to put on the silver paper hat and say that I have unmasked myself for reproaching you for not following the plan that had been agreed and the only logical one if the game is read is insulting.
Of course I have the coal both yesterday and today, because I am the strongest town reading left, because I have followed and supported very clearly the lynchings of Sig and Made and because my vote would be 100% sure in the right direction of lynching the Poe.
I am not going to give an inch to these statements, if you have a bit of shame you will simply do what you promised and you will not get in the way of the game.
My vote stays. The rest are free to choose as they will. From my perspective you've outed yourself, and I have no intention on having a battle of the walls to try and convince the rest.
"neat, what about the people still alive"
Not only pushing for a wolf, i put a lot of the reads from interactions that sloonei did.
For this post and the nexts interactions that i support and continue by myself, we had lynched made and sig. Not scum agenda.Samusamu wrote: ↑Fri Dec 18, 2020 11:43 amÑñññ.sig wrote: ↑Fri Dec 18, 2020 11:03 am I guess everyone is to busy adulting or something.
But. I do have a few ideas regarding gifts, so from the rules it sounds like mafia give them out, but we don't know who got it.. This is gonna further muddy the waters paired with coal.
I don't think hero shooting is necessarily the best way to approach it until mid game, before mid game and once we get closer to end game it would probably make the most sense if everyone targeted the same person. That would insure town has more control over the game and we're not just hitting random people.
I'd also say for n1 we just target people who haven't shown up yet. I'm never really a fan of lynching non posters I think its a good way for mafia to blend and not have responsibility, but given that these are kills i think it may make the most sense to trim the fat early
Too early to talk about lynching non poster.
I was thinking about the hero shooting thing.
I conclude that i dont care meanwhile that person can explain the shot and that explanation sound legit to me in day 1/2.
Saying hey i have a shot lets talk to decide who should we shot its a good and easy way for deepwolfing.
This post sounds to me like preparing the ground for the scenario where a scum is given the shot and can easily spend half a day just talking about the shot and not giving an opinion.
You post like a mafia.
Alison townread.
For this interaction i think all the names here are town, thats why marmot and gs are the poe
This two post tell me that prob that names are town.
This is me not supporting a alison lynch.
And this is me, moments after not letting an alison lynch, trying to lynch sig. (Btw you vote in the last second if you werent trolling and talk to me we could prob lynch sig d1)
Marmot agenda trying to lynch kyle or wilgy similar with the agenda of sig and mas.
SLOONEI SUMMARIZE INTERACTIONS WITH MADE, INCLUDES ME AND MY INTERACTIONS NOT SAME AGENDA.Sloonei wrote: ↑Mon Dec 21, 2020 2:56 pm I did not like Made's initial progression on Samu:I informed him that a language barrier was standing between samu and the rest of us. Made acknowledged this fact but explicitly gave it no weight in his read:Spoiler: show
I think this makes his samu suspicion appear very flimsy. "Big words scary" amounts to nothing at all, and is not quite the same as the initial "word salad" accusation. The goalposts have been moved.Spoiler: show
The goalposts are moved again. We started out with "word salad." Then it became "big words scary." Now he throws out the linguistic aspect of it entirely to say "your take is sus." Made has offered no opinion on any particular takes of samu's other than to generalize that his posts are confusing. When he was made aware of the language gap, he nodded at it as if it made a difference in his read, but instead of actually applying the new information and adjusting accordingly, Made just slid around it and voiced a new and unrelated reason to suspect Samu in stride. This is a Bad Look.Spoiler: show
Moving along, I do not know what the point of Made asking Samu for a read on me here was. I had previously told Made to his face that I suspected him in response to a direct question, but he did not acknowledge me at all. Instead, he asked samu for a read on me several hours later. I wanted him to answer his own question, and he slapped a town read on me, which is interesting because the extent of our interaction in the game prior to this was a generic prod question from Made, a juicy answer from Sloonei, and zero follow-up from Made.Spoiler: show
I thought Made's responses to my interrogation afterward felt a bit flat, like he was trying to project confidence against my pressure:I have trouble understanding the progression of these thoughts. Made says that he believes I am simply testing him for reactions, which means my suspicion is false, which is "scummy but has utility", but then he distinctly doesn't think I'm reaction testing, but that I'm "testing his loyalty" (???). None of this computes over here, and each response feels like it's meant more to appease me than to actually progress the dialogue to a place of understanding. Sometimes (not all the time) when I start digging deep into somebody like this, our back-and-forth will take the shape of an organic dialogue, and ideas will grow/expand out of it, and that's usually a sign of a good townie.Spoiler: show
With Made, I ask a question and his answers are short, definitive, closed off. They go nowhere. They feel like obstacles, and he doesn't want there to be any more follow-up questions.

Sloonei second try of pushing made because only i see the evidence and read enough to see the scumness from made.Sloonei wrote: ↑Tue Dec 22, 2020 2:57 pm Made continues to be Mafia - Day 2 Edition:
I provided a big and fairly comprehensive argument for Made As Mafia yesterday afternoon. I am an experienced player. I have written a lot of cases in my mafia life. I know when I feel like they make sense, or at least when they're viable and easy to follow. This one on Made felt very self-evident. I talked about what he did and why his actions made me feel the way that I did. There was nothing, I felt, difficult or opaque about it. Everything you need to know about my read on Made is right there on the surface of my words.
Then when Made returned to the thread, this was his impassioned response:![]()
Why does my read on Syn matter here? Why does Syn's read on me matter? The latter thought is what prompted me to point out that I am universalliy town-read (sans Made). Made asking Syn for a read on the player everybody has decided to read as town felt hollow. Made asking Syn for a readon the player everybody has decided to read as town when said player has just posted a big comprehensive case explaining why he reads Made as mafia, and Made has not touched it with a thirty-nine and a half foot pole, looks weak and almost impossible from an honest civilian mindset.
But then we get to Made's reads list, which has me and Syn both at the bottom. So maybe he feels there is a connection between us. His syn suspicion seems to hinge on wilgy being bad. I think the Wilgy suspicion is empty. I am not saying I read Wilgy's posts as town definitively. But I definitely don't read them as suspicious. I read them as posts coming from DrWilgy, and I challenge anyone here to make an argument for why those posts are bad. I'm willing to listen, but there is nothing out of the ordinary about this game's version of Wilgy, and Wilgy is everyone's favorite mischop bait. It's almost transparently bad.
Let's get tot he reasons Made lists for scum reading each of us:
"wilgy's talk looked bad yesterday, EOD vote around him look bad, silence today looks bad. iunnlikeem"
What "talk" looked bad? What votes looked bad and why? Why is his silence bad? Why can't his absence simply be absence? This is not the least bit uncommon for DrWilgy. So why is any of it bad?
"syn's end of day looks AWFUL. if wilgy is bad then syn is the teammate."
Why did Syn's end of day look AWFUL? Evidently because he switched a joke vote from Wilgy onto Sig at the last moment, which is apparently what the mafia team would want because it would create a tie... when we already had a civilian being chopped in cat. And no mafia member in their right mind would go out of their way to cast such a brazen and reckless vote at the last minute when people are on high alert about tie-creation. Why on all of Santa's wonderful Earth would a Mafia Syn leap to cast a vote on Town Sig to tie him up with Town Cat in the poll at the last second? No. That makes no sense. That is not an argument.
"sloonei insist that samu is obv town becauseand then argues i'm bad because
and then argues mewtini is bad because
all of it feels forced"
Okay, remember up above when Made's full arguments against Wilgy and Syn were "looked bad" and "looks AWFUL"? It's not even like those are summaries of previous reads he'd stated. If you search his ISO for mentions of either of those two, he never elaborates beyond similar observations of frank "badness".
I bring all of this up because I would like to direct your attention, dear reader, to Made's summary of my own cases against him and Mewtini. Made summarizes each of them via a confused2 emoji. That is to say, Made alleges that my cases against him and Mewtini are either insubstantial or make no sense. I remind you that the entirety of his top two cases are "looks bad" and "looks awful."
I direct your attention, once again, to my cases: Made & Mewtini.
Those are definitely not insubstantial. If they make no sense, I have not had anyone engage with me on them yet to determine what is lacking. I feel as though they both make very clear sense. That is not to say they're both correct. But they should definitely be readable. Made denies that they are and tosses a blanket of suspicion on me in the process. If that is a genuine read, I'm flabbergasted! Vexed! Dumbfounded!
I pressed him to expound on his stances a bit more and he, once again, failed to do so in a satisfying manner. This is the most we got:He touches briefly on one point (RE: samu) from his own case, and just hand waves at the entire case against Mewtini. The specific reference to "13 minutes" even suggests to me that the case resonated with Made, or else he wouldn't be as likely to specify the exact right number that I used in my analysis. I do not know if this points to Made + Mewtini as teammates (for what it's worth, Made lists mew as his top townread in his reads list), or if it's just Made working extra hard to discredit me. But I simply do not believe Made when he says that my arguments do not make sense to him.Made wrote: ↑Mon Dec 21, 2020 8:22 pm nah, i saw them, they just don't really make sense to me. my issue with samu was the delivery, yes, but also the core message that sounded like a "no you, but also let's distract thread!". and mew showing up 13 minutes before deadline, and then throwing a new name in the mix i feel like would of been scummy af. reads like a team player imo

Sloonei wrote: ↑Thu Dec 24, 2020 3:28 am Made ISO
I'm inclined to go ahead and lock Samu in as town for the way Made pushed him all of Day 1. It starts here. It continues. Samu is town and I'm not gonna bother spending time and energy on it unless there are important developments.Spoiler: show
Made picks up Long Scheme's couplets but doesn't really say anything about Grand Con, just uses it to prod Wilgy without much weight or direction. I'd call this a good look for wilgy, or the start of one at least. Made wanted very much to push Wilgy and Syn together, and this is the first step in that direction.Spoiler: show
Made is displeased with Samu's vote for Sig. Noted.Spoiler: show
Made says what amounts to nothing about Wilgy, this post seems to exist solely for the purpose of making sure we don't all town-read the good Doctor. Wilgy town.Spoiler: show
Wilgy responds to Made's vague prod with some direct reads: samu is town, sig and syn are not. Made disagrees with the reads on sig and samu. He ignores the Syn read altogether.Spoiler: show
Samu is still town. Sig has now appeared twice in Made's ISO, both times Made has been disapproving of suspicion against him. Noted.
Just noting this for Made's treatment of the confirmed-town feline. Joke suspicion that seems to justify positioning himself on board with the Cat bandwagon, as indicated by his next post.Spoiler: show
Kyle makes an appearance. It is nothing.Spoiler: show
Noting Made's treatment of mewtini. I'd still be suspicious of her if she was alive, so meh. He gives her a very generic prod.Spoiler: show
I've deduced that wilgy is good. Like really really good. (also i've got Sherlock on in the background as I type this up and Martin Freeman just said the word "deduce" at the exact moment I typed it. It's a Christmas miracle.)Spoiler: show
If this is how Made treated his teammate on Day 1 I will be very surprised.Spoiler: show
Day 1 reads. Alison was town and I am inclined to say that each of the other two in the bottom tier are as well. Grand Scheme is the only living player left in the middle tier. I'm not sure how Made would be inclined to classify his teammates here, but I think it's evident he's not trying to bus. He may have been inclined to at least separate his teammates, in which case the Schemer is the obvious odd man out.
If Made wanted to list both of his teammates in the top tier, then we're probably looking at a sig + kyle team. It ain't me and I'm fairly sure after yesterday that it ain't Syn either. (More on that later in this ISO, I'm getting ahead of myself!)
Oh his very next post points out that Falcon/Marmot is absent both from the list and the game at this point. I cannot read much into their absence from the list: on the one hand, Made probably would be less likely to forget to include his absentee teammate in a list of reads, but on the other his acknowledgment that he forgot could also be indicative of a partnership, or the omission could be intentional. Gun to my head, I'll read Marmot as town by omission, but I'm not taking that to the bank or anywhere else, even.
Made ISOs Alison and bumps her up to the middle tier. But he makes the weird point that "alison sig interactions look bad." This means absolutely nothing since Alison is town and Made knows it. This is the first time in the game that Made has suggested any sort of negative stance adjacent to sig.Spoiler: show
He asks him a follow-up question to a point he raised about Alison. It tells me nothing.
Made went to some length to try to shade both Syn and I. Later on there was an implication that we could be partnered, but he also emphasized that we were independently suspicious. If he pushed harder on the angle of us being partners then I would read this less in syn's favor. But instead Made tried to push Syn and I both in the same vein that he pushed Wilgy. I highly highly doubt that Made prioritized pushing me along with his two teammates. I also think it would be a bit silly if he pushed two civilians and one teammate in the same exact manner, especially since there was relatively little prompting to suspect either of Syn or Wilgy on Day 2. He did that on his own, and I think his intentions were uncomplicated: get one of us mischopped. Just look at his more detailed Day 2 reads list:Spoiler: showThe three "bad" reads were a major part of my case against Made. The bad reads are bad. Syn is town. Wilgy is town. I am comfortable moving forward with each of these reads. Samu is also town. There's three. Yay.Spoiler: show
Made has sig in the "ehhh" category, but his read struggles to actually commit to anything unfavorable ("kinda irrelevant, but in a civvie way" [What?] "alison vote looked weird, but im vibing with him"). This reads like a town read that is arbitrarily placed outside of the section for town reads. Not a good look for sig.
The read on Kyle is distinctly more negative than the read on sig. It is jarring to see them placed in the order they are. I'll call that a good look for Kyle.
Made has Grand Scheme as his third highest town read. That does not compute. That doesn't even come close to computing. Damn. I shouldn't have focused so much on the bad reads. The "civvie" reads are even worse. I would have liked to make Made expand on this read, because... like, what on earth has Grand Scheme done to earn any sort of town read, let alone this third from the top placement?
Oh by the way, did I mention that the top two town reads are mewtini and Marmot? Granted, mewtini is now confirmed town, but I struggle to see what she did in her time here to earn Top Town Read status (and this point is why I was confident she was partnered with Made, mistakenly). Marmot as the second top town read is not as outrageous, but still something that seems far-fetched, especially given that Made was lamenting the slot's absence the previous day.
I think the absence of convincing top town reads is more to do with Made's insistence on keeping Samu and I (the two most obvious townies in the game, if I may say so) down low on the list. Grand Scheme and Sig are the two names that stand out most: sig because he is placed lower on the list than he should be based on Made's own words, and Grand Scheme because Made has no words to say about him.
Based purely on this list, I'd name Marmot as a more likely suspect than Kyle. I think if Made wants to town-read his partner Kyle here, he can do so without this level of shade.
Re-reading the next section of posts where Made and I argue about his reads, I'm realizing he actually has a lot more to say about Wilgy than Syn. He has relatively little say about Syn, and most of it actually is in conjunction with mentions of my name. So maybe this is an effort on Made's part to tie me to his partner in the event that Syn goes down. But doing that would require Syn to be in the line of fire, which he is not. I'm still inclined to call Syn town.
The aggression of his push on wilgy is way too much to be bussing.
Sig starts acknowledging that Made is a suspect. Made asks sig a generic question. beep boop. This tells me nothing.Spoiler: show

"Made may be trying to pocket me" which is an alleged ping. Keeps the door open to arbitrary Wilgy suspicion. Sloonei and Samu are not partners. Cool. How does this Made read progress?Spoiler: show
Made looks good. Okay. Why? Made's most recent posts before this one were pushes on cat and samu. I think neither looked good.Spoiler: show
Sig responds to Made's generic prod RE: Alison with a decidedly negative stance. Okay.Spoiler: show
Made is a "town lean" with Samu and Syn. Noting that Long Scheme is a top town read for sig as well. What is happening here?Spoiler: show
"Scum leans" are Kyle, wilgy, and cat. That wilgy read is dubious, as always. I don't know why the Kyle read exists.
I was pleading with everyone to acknowledge my Made case and it finally started to gain traction. Sig didn't seem to like that, but he can't bring himself to outright defend Made. I have no idea why he thinks Made would be better suited for a shot-in-the-dark nightkill than a chop.Spoiler: show
Made is distinctly not Sig's priority. Noted.Spoiler: show
I disliked this post and it was where I really started to suspect a sig/made pairing. Sig's hesitance is right there on his face, and the point he chooses to emphasize ("the mew/made connection") was hardly a primary piece of my argument against Made and, as we now know, it is one that obviously would have given him a nice easy scapegoat today in the aftermath of Made's flip.Spoiler: show
I was also skeptical of sig's citation of Made's meta. It's been a while since Made played. I have a hard time buying that sig has a distinct working memory of the differences between Made's town/mafia metas.
First, sig continues to push Syn while all of this is happening.Spoiler: show
Second, Sig has reluctantly come along to offer the most tentative possible support of the Made case on the basis of my confidence in the read. No mention of specific points (such as the mew/made connection, for instance), just citation of my read. But then, after that, he says he'll go and read the case. Which... if he hasn't done that yet then why's he agreeing with aspects of it? Bad post from sig.
Sig continues to drag his feet toward Made's inevitable chop. But he won't let go of Syn.Spoiler: show
His "biggest issue" with Made has changed now to his treatment of Samu. The connection to mewtini is not mentioned. This feels like a false progression.
Made's chop is inevitable at this point. Sig says so himself. This feels a bit more strained than it should: I don't really buy it at all when Sig says that his Syn suspicion is as strong or stronger than the argument against Made. By his own admission, the Syn case is flawed, but he refuses to let go of it for no particular reason.Spoiler: show
He votes for Made ~30 minutes before EoD. I still feel like he's straining here. This is not the vote he wants to cast (he spends too much time justifying the vote in ways that don't actually involve Made), but he has no other choice.Spoiler: show
At this point I will be surprised if sig is town.

The most substantial point RE: Made is difficult to follow:It is unclear from this which of us (me or Made) Marmot says he feels "weird" about. The first line gives no indication what the source of the weirdness is. The second line would indicate Made is the weird one. The third directly states that I am the weird one.Marmot wrote: ↑Sun Dec 20, 2020 5:58 pm I've generally felt good about Sloonei and null on Made, but the end of this interaction is weird.
If Made doesn't believe Sloonei, normally that would mean he scumreads Sloonei.
I get that townies are far less likely to lie than wolves, but the question Sloonei asked in response is still weird. I can't put my finger on why.
Could you explain this response in more detail, O Christmas Marmot?
Marmot has Made in the middle tier of his reads list, shared with Mewtini and Syn. Kyle and Wilgy are at the bottom.Spoiler: show
Why is everyone listing Grand Scheme as a town read in all these lists?
Incidental mention of Made in a discussion with Syn about Wilgy.
Direct defense of Made when I prompted the thread for pro-Made arguments. Not the best look in the world, but he was just answering my question. But Marmot was the only one to really step up to the plate here, and I can't not give that some weight here. I'll also note that this is a different point than the one Marmot raised to give Made town credit earlier, if that means anything.Spoiler: show
Implicit support of the Made wagon. This is more direct than sig's implicit support. I still don't love the way it looks, but if I'm comparing those two then Marmot is better. But not by a lot.Spoiler: show
This is not a comprehensive Marmot ISO, obviously, and I don't have much of a feel for his game as a whole right now. But the Made interactions are Not So Great.
Sloonei wrote: ↑Thu Dec 24, 2020 3:31 pm Kyle & MadeAuthenticators have confirmed that this exchange exists.
This one too. I do not read this as Kyle trying to "change the subject" from Made or anything like that. I think he just showed up late and wanted to know what was happening.
That's it. There is nothing here. I can't really award Kyle any townie points for the content, though the lack of content might be worth something: If Made is his partner then I expect Kyle to show some nervousness or effort to save him at EoD2. He did not end up voting at all. The anti-Kyle argument is that he didn't have a way to comfortably justify a vote on a counterwagon, if one even existed by the time he arrived (i forget. was working and didn't have an eye on the poll, but it seemed made was comfortably in the lead so i wasn't worried). But I think Kyle's nonchalance is a slightly good look here. Light town read.
Nobody talks here, i support that reads.Sloonei wrote: ↑Thu Dec 24, 2020 3:37 pmThe ordering of this list is unchanged after individual ISOs (I'm not bothering with Samu. He's town). I might separate Kyle and Marmot into separate green tiers if I want to get meticulous, but it's Christmas. Eve. I think the team could be exactly Sig + Grand Scheme, but if it's not then Marmot is my other guess.
I believe we have one mischop left by POE numbers, but things are wonky in this setup. At any rate, clearing 4 players should secure the win. If anyone objects to Samu, Wilgy, Syn, or Kyle being cleared, speak now.
Sloonei wrote: ↑Thu Dec 24, 2020 3:50 pm Scanning Marmot's ISO in full, my critique is this: his posts fit perfectly into the agenda Made was pushing. The small size of this game would prompt the Mafia team to be aggressive (they don't need to survive for a long time. Just a couple of day phases, so I think we're more likely to see coordinated pushes in this setup than in a ~15 player game, for instance). He defends Made, he pushes hard on Wilgy and Syn with a some smaller nudges toward Kyle and Alison. I think the suspicions against Wilgy in this game have been bad, and we now know that in at least one case, they were dishonest as well. I do not think Wilgy has done anything outside of the very ordinary for him, and I actually disagree completely with Marmot's assessment of Wilgy's entrance now that I've read it. Wilgy was the victim of the most direct and widespread bandwagon of the game until Made's name was dragged up. And Made was at the forefront of the Wilgy push. So was Marmot.

But. I do have a few ideas regarding gifts, so from the rules it sounds like mafia give them out, but we don't know who got it.. This is gonna further muddy the waters paired with coal.
I don't think hero shooting is necessarily the best way to approach it until mid game, before mid game and once we get closer to end game it would probably make the most sense if everyone targeted the same person. That would insure town has more control over the game and we're not just hitting random people.
I'd also say for n1 we just target people who haven't shown up yet. I'm never really a fan of lynching non posters I think its a good way for mafia to blend and not have responsibility, but given that these are kills i think it may make the most sense to trim the fat early
Too early to talk about lynching non poster.
I was thinking about the hero shooting thing.
I conclude that i dont care meanwhile that person can explain the shot and that explanation sound legit to me in day 1/2.
Saying hey i have a shot lets talk to decide who should we shot its a good and easy way for deepwolfing.
This post sounds to me like preparing the ground for the scenario where a scum is given the shot and can easily spend half a day just talking about the shot and not giving an opinion.

SLOONEI SUMMARIZE INTERACTIONS WITH MADE, INCLUDES ME AND MY INTERACTIONS NOT SAME AGENDA.Sloonei wrote: ↑Mon Dec 21, 2020 2:56 pm I did not like Made's initial progression on Samu:I informed him that a language barrier was standing between samu and the rest of us. Made acknowledged this fact but explicitly gave it no weight in his read:Spoiler: show
I think this makes his samu suspicion appear very flimsy. "Big words scary" amounts to nothing at all, and is not quite the same as the initial "word salad" accusation. The goalposts have been moved.Spoiler: show
The goalposts are moved again. We started out with "word salad." Then it became "big words scary." Now he throws out the linguistic aspect of it entirely to say "your take is sus." Made has offered no opinion on any particular takes of samu's other than to generalize that his posts are confusing. When he was made aware of the language gap, he nodded at it as if it made a difference in his read, but instead of actually applying the new information and adjusting accordingly, Made just slid around it and voiced a new and unrelated reason to suspect Samu in stride. This is a Bad Look.Spoiler: show
Moving along, I do not know what the point of Made asking Samu for a read on me here was. I had previously told Made to his face that I suspected him in response to a direct question, but he did not acknowledge me at all. Instead, he asked samu for a read on me several hours later. I wanted him to answer his own question, and he slapped a town read on me, which is interesting because the extent of our interaction in the game prior to this was a generic prod question from Made, a juicy answer from Sloonei, and zero follow-up from Made.Spoiler: show
I thought Made's responses to my interrogation afterward felt a bit flat, like he was trying to project confidence against my pressure:I have trouble understanding the progression of these thoughts. Made says that he believes I am simply testing him for reactions, which means my suspicion is false, which is "scummy but has utility", but then he distinctly doesn't think I'm reaction testing, but that I'm "testing his loyalty" (???). None of this computes over here, and each response feels like it's meant more to appease me than to actually progress the dialogue to a place of understanding. Sometimes (not all the time) when I start digging deep into somebody like this, our back-and-forth will take the shape of an organic dialogue, and ideas will grow/expand out of it, and that's usually a sign of a good townie.Spoiler: show
With Made, I ask a question and his answers are short, definitive, closed off. They go nowhere. They feel like obstacles, and he doesn't want there to be any more follow-up questions.

Sloonei second try of pushing made because only i see the evidence and read enough to see the scumness from made.Sloonei wrote: ↑Tue Dec 22, 2020 2:57 pm Made continues to be Mafia - Day 2 Edition:
I provided a big and fairly comprehensive argument for Made As Mafia yesterday afternoon. I am an experienced player. I have written a lot of cases in my mafia life. I know when I feel like they make sense, or at least when they're viable and easy to follow. This one on Made felt very self-evident. I talked about what he did and why his actions made me feel the way that I did. There was nothing, I felt, difficult or opaque about it. Everything you need to know about my read on Made is right there on the surface of my words.
Then when Made returned to the thread, this was his impassioned response:![]()
Why does my read on Syn matter here? Why does Syn's read on me matter? The latter thought is what prompted me to point out that I am universalliy town-read (sans Made). Made asking Syn for a read on the player everybody has decided to read as town felt hollow. Made asking Syn for a readon the player everybody has decided to read as town when said player has just posted a big comprehensive case explaining why he reads Made as mafia, and Made has not touched it with a thirty-nine and a half foot pole, looks weak and almost impossible from an honest civilian mindset.
But then we get to Made's reads list, which has me and Syn both at the bottom. So maybe he feels there is a connection between us. His syn suspicion seems to hinge on wilgy being bad. I think the Wilgy suspicion is empty. I am not saying I read Wilgy's posts as town definitively. But I definitely don't read them as suspicious. I read them as posts coming from DrWilgy, and I challenge anyone here to make an argument for why those posts are bad. I'm willing to listen, but there is nothing out of the ordinary about this game's version of Wilgy, and Wilgy is everyone's favorite mischop bait. It's almost transparently bad.
Let's get tot he reasons Made lists for scum reading each of us:
"wilgy's talk looked bad yesterday, EOD vote around him look bad, silence today looks bad. iunnlikeem"
What "talk" looked bad? What votes looked bad and why? Why is his silence bad? Why can't his absence simply be absence? This is not the least bit uncommon for DrWilgy. So why is any of it bad?
"syn's end of day looks AWFUL. if wilgy is bad then syn is the teammate."
Why did Syn's end of day look AWFUL? Evidently because he switched a joke vote from Wilgy onto Sig at the last moment, which is apparently what the mafia team would want because it would create a tie... when we already had a civilian being chopped in cat. And no mafia member in their right mind would go out of their way to cast such a brazen and reckless vote at the last minute when people are on high alert about tie-creation. Why on all of Santa's wonderful Earth would a Mafia Syn leap to cast a vote on Town Sig to tie him up with Town Cat in the poll at the last second? No. That makes no sense. That is not an argument.
"sloonei insist that samu is obv town becauseand then argues i'm bad because
and then argues mewtini is bad because
all of it feels forced"
Okay, remember up above when Made's full arguments against Wilgy and Syn were "looked bad" and "looks AWFUL"? It's not even like those are summaries of previous reads he'd stated. If you search his ISO for mentions of either of those two, he never elaborates beyond similar observations of frank "badness".
I bring all of this up because I would like to direct your attention, dear reader, to Made's summary of my own cases against him and Mewtini. Made summarizes each of them via a confused2 emoji. That is to say, Made alleges that my cases against him and Mewtini are either insubstantial or make no sense. I remind you that the entirety of his top two cases are "looks bad" and "looks awful."
I direct your attention, once again, to my cases: Made & Mewtini.
Those are definitely not insubstantial. If they make no sense, I have not had anyone engage with me on them yet to determine what is lacking. I feel as though they both make very clear sense. That is not to say they're both correct. But they should definitely be readable. Made denies that they are and tosses a blanket of suspicion on me in the process. If that is a genuine read, I'm flabbergasted! Vexed! Dumbfounded!
I pressed him to expound on his stances a bit more and he, once again, failed to do so in a satisfying manner. This is the most we got:He touches briefly on one point (RE: samu) from his own case, and just hand waves at the entire case against Mewtini. The specific reference to "13 minutes" even suggests to me that the case resonated with Made, or else he wouldn't be as likely to specify the exact right number that I used in my analysis. I do not know if this points to Made + Mewtini as teammates (for what it's worth, Made lists mew as his top townread in his reads list), or if it's just Made working extra hard to discredit me. But I simply do not believe Made when he says that my arguments do not make sense to him.Made wrote: ↑Mon Dec 21, 2020 8:22 pm nah, i saw them, they just don't really make sense to me. my issue with samu was the delivery, yes, but also the core message that sounded like a "no you, but also let's distract thread!". and mew showing up 13 minutes before deadline, and then throwing a new name in the mix i feel like would of been scummy af. reads like a team player imo

Made says what amounts to nothing about Wilgy, this post seems to exist solely for the purpose of making sure we don't all town-read the good Doctor. Wilgy town.Spoiler: show
Wilgy responds to Made's vague prod with some direct reads: samu is town, sig and syn are not. Made disagrees with the reads on sig and samu. He ignores the Syn read altogether.Spoiler: show
Samu is still town. Sig has now appeared twice in Made's ISO, both times Made has been disapproving of suspicion against him. Noted.
Just noting this for Made's treatment of the confirmed-town feline. Joke suspicion that seems to justify positioning himself on board with the Cat bandwagon, as indicated by his next post.Spoiler: show
Kyle makes an appearance. It is nothing.Spoiler: show
Noting Made's treatment of mewtini. I'd still be suspicious of her if she was alive, so meh. He gives her a very generic prod.Spoiler: show
I've deduced that wilgy is good. Like really really good. (also i've got Sherlock on in the background as I type this up and Martin Freeman just said the word "deduce" at the exact moment I typed it. It's a Christmas miracle.)Spoiler: show
If this is how Made treated his teammate on Day 1 I will be very surprised.Spoiler: show
Day 1 reads. Alison was town and I am inclined to say that each of the other two in the bottom tier are as well. Grand Scheme is the only living player left in the middle tier. I'm not sure how Made would be inclined to classify his teammates here, but I think it's evident he's not trying to bus. He may have been inclined to at least separate his teammates, in which case the Schemer is the obvious odd man out.
If Made wanted to list both of his teammates in the top tier, then we're probably looking at a sig + kyle team. It ain't me and I'm fairly sure after yesterday that it ain't Syn either. (More on that later in this ISO, I'm getting ahead of myself!)
Oh his very next post points out that Falcon/Marmot is absent both from the list and the game at this point. I cannot read much into their absence from the list: on the one hand, Made probably would be less likely to forget to include his absentee teammate in a list of reads, but on the other his acknowledgment that he forgot could also be indicative of a partnership, or the omission could be intentional. Gun to my head, I'll read Marmot as town by omission, but I'm not taking that to the bank or anywhere else, even.
Made ISOs Alison and bumps her up to the middle tier. But he makes the weird point that "alison sig interactions look bad." This means absolutely nothing since Alison is town and Made knows it. This is the first time in the game that Made has suggested any sort of negative stance adjacent to sig.Spoiler: show
He asks him a follow-up question to a point he raised about Alison. It tells me nothing.
Made went to some length to try to shade both Syn and I. Later on there was an implication that we could be partnered, but he also emphasized that we were independently suspicious. If he pushed harder on the angle of us being partners then I would read this less in syn's favor. But instead Made tried to push Syn and I both in the same vein that he pushed Wilgy. I highly highly doubt that Made prioritized pushing me along with his two teammates. I also think it would be a bit silly if he pushed two civilians and one teammate in the same exact manner, especially since there was relatively little prompting to suspect either of Syn or Wilgy on Day 2. He did that on his own, and I think his intentions were uncomplicated: get one of us mischopped. Just look at his more detailed Day 2 reads list:Spoiler: showThe three "bad" reads were a major part of my case against Made. The bad reads are bad. Syn is town. Wilgy is town. I am comfortable moving forward with each of these reads. Samu is also town. There's three. Yay.Spoiler: show
Made has sig in the "ehhh" category, but his read struggles to actually commit to anything unfavorable ("kinda irrelevant, but in a civvie way" [What?] "alison vote looked weird, but im vibing with him"). This reads like a town read that is arbitrarily placed outside of the section for town reads. Not a good look for sig.
The read on Kyle is distinctly more negative than the read on sig. It is jarring to see them placed in the order they are. I'll call that a good look for Kyle.
Made has Grand Scheme as his third highest town read. That does not compute. That doesn't even come close to computing. Damn. I shouldn't have focused so much on the bad reads. The "civvie" reads are even worse. I would have liked to make Made expand on this read, because... like, what on earth has Grand Scheme done to earn any sort of town read, let alone this third from the top placement?
Oh by the way, did I mention that the top two town reads are mewtini and Marmot? Granted, mewtini is now confirmed town, but I struggle to see what she did in her time here to earn Top Town Read status (and this point is why I was confident she was partnered with Made, mistakenly). Marmot as the second top town read is not as outrageous, but still something that seems far-fetched, especially given that Made was lamenting the slot's absence the previous day.
I think the absence of convincing top town reads is more to do with Made's insistence on keeping Samu and I (the two most obvious townies in the game, if I may say so) down low on the list. Grand Scheme and Sig are the two names that stand out most: sig because he is placed lower on the list than he should be based on Made's own words, and Grand Scheme because Made has no words to say about him.
Based purely on this list, I'd name Marmot as a more likely suspect than Kyle. I think if Made wants to town-read his partner Kyle here, he can do so without this level of shade.
Re-reading the next section of posts where Made and I argue about his reads, I'm realizing he actually has a lot more to say about Wilgy than Syn. He has relatively little say about Syn, and most of it actually is in conjunction with mentions of my name. So maybe this is an effort on Made's part to tie me to his partner in the event that Syn goes down. But doing that would require Syn to be in the line of fire, which he is not. I'm still inclined to call Syn town.
The aggression of his push on wilgy is way too much to be bussing.
Sig starts acknowledging that Made is a suspect. Made asks sig a generic question. beep boop. This tells me nothing.Spoiler: show
And that's the end of it.

"Made may be trying to pocket me" which is an alleged ping. Keeps the door open to arbitrary Wilgy suspicion. Sloonei and Samu are not partners. Cool. How does this Made read progress?Spoiler: show
Made looks good. Okay. Why? Made's most recent posts before this one were pushes on cat and samu. I think neither looked good.Spoiler: show
Sig responds to Made's generic prod RE: Alison with a decidedly negative stance. Okay.Spoiler: show
Made is a "town lean" with Samu and Syn. Noting that Long Scheme is a top town read for sig as well. What is happening here?Spoiler: show
"Scum leans" are Kyle, wilgy, and cat. That wilgy read is dubious, as always. I don't know why the Kyle read exists.
I was pleading with everyone to acknowledge my Made case and it finally started to gain traction. Sig didn't seem to like that, but he can't bring himself to outright defend Made. I have no idea why he thinks Made would be better suited for a shot-in-the-dark nightkill than a chop.Spoiler: show
Made is distinctly not Sig's priority. Noted.Spoiler: show
I disliked this post and it was where I really started to suspect a sig/made pairing. Sig's hesitance is right there on his face, and the point he chooses to emphasize ("the mew/made connection") was hardly a primary piece of my argument against Made and, as we now know, it is one that obviously would have given him a nice easy scapegoat today in the aftermath of Made's flip.Spoiler: show
I was also skeptical of sig's citation of Made's meta. It's been a while since Made played. I have a hard time buying that sig has a distinct working memory of the differences between Made's town/mafia metas.
First, sig continues to push Syn while all of this is happening.Spoiler: show
Second, Sig has reluctantly come along to offer the most tentative possible support of the Made case on the basis of my confidence in the read. No mention of specific points (such as the mew/made connection, for instance), just citation of my read. But then, after that, he says he'll go and read the case. Which... if he hasn't done that yet then why's he agreeing with aspects of it? Bad post from sig.
Sig continues to drag his feet toward Made's inevitable chop. But he won't let go of Syn.Spoiler: show
His "biggest issue" with Made has changed now to his treatment of Samu. The connection to mewtini is not mentioned. This feels like a false progression.
Made's chop is inevitable at this point. Sig says so himself. This feels a bit more strained than it should: I don't really buy it at all when Sig says that his Syn suspicion is as strong or stronger than the argument against Made. By his own admission, the Syn case is flawed, but he refuses to let go of it for no particular reason.Spoiler: show
He votes for Made ~30 minutes before EoD. I still feel like he's straining here. This is not the vote he wants to cast (he spends too much time justifying the vote in ways that don't actually involve Made), but he has no other choice.Spoiler: show
At this point I will be surprised if sig is town.

The most substantial point RE: Made is difficult to follow:It is unclear from this which of us (me or Made) Marmot says he feels "weird" about. The first line gives no indication what the source of the weirdness is. The second line would indicate Made is the weird one. The third directly states that I am the weird one.Marmot wrote: ↑Sun Dec 20, 2020 5:58 pm I've generally felt good about Sloonei and null on Made, but the end of this interaction is weird.
If Made doesn't believe Sloonei, normally that would mean he scumreads Sloonei.
I get that townies are far less likely to lie than wolves, but the question Sloonei asked in response is still weird. I can't put my finger on why.
Could you explain this response in more detail, O Christmas Marmot?
Marmot has Made in the middle tier of his reads list, shared with Mewtini and Syn. Kyle and Wilgy are at the bottom.Spoiler: show
Why is everyone listing Grand Scheme as a town read in all these lists?
Incidental mention of Made in a discussion with Syn about Wilgy.
Direct defense of Made when I prompted the thread for pro-Made arguments. Not the best look in the world, but he was just answering my question. But Marmot was the only one to really step up to the plate here, and I can't not give that some weight here. I'll also note that this is a different point than the one Marmot raised to give Made town credit earlier, if that means anything.Spoiler: show
Implicit support of the Made wagon. This is more direct than sig's implicit support. I still don't love the way it looks, but if I'm comparing those two then Marmot is better. But not by a lot.Spoiler: show
This is not a comprehensive Marmot ISO, obviously, and I don't have much of a feel for his game as a whole right now. But the Made interactions are Not So Great.
Sloonei wrote: ↑Thu Dec 24, 2020 3:31 pm Kyle & MadeAuthenticators have confirmed that this exchange exists.
This one too. I do not read this as Kyle trying to "change the subject" from Made or anything like that. I think he just showed up late and wanted to know what was happening.
That's it. There is nothing here. I can't really award Kyle any townie points for the content, though the lack of content might be worth something: If Made is his partner then I expect Kyle to show some nervousness or effort to save him at EoD2. He did not end up voting at all. The anti-Kyle argument is that he didn't have a way to comfortably justify a vote on a counterwagon, if one even existed by the time he arrived (i forget. was working and didn't have an eye on the poll, but it seemed made was comfortably in the lead so i wasn't worried). But I think Kyle's nonchalance is a slightly good look here. Light town read.
Nobody talks here, i support that reads.Sloonei wrote: ↑Thu Dec 24, 2020 3:37 pmThe ordering of this list is unchanged after individual ISOs (I'm not bothering with Samu. He's town). I might separate Kyle and Marmot into separate green tiers if I want to get meticulous, but it's Christmas. Eve. I think the team could be exactly Sig + Grand Scheme, but if it's not then Marmot is my other guess.
I believe we have one mischop left by POE numbers, but things are wonky in this setup. At any rate, clearing 4 players should secure the win. If anyone objects to Samu, Wilgy, Syn, or Kyle being cleared, speak now.
Sloonei wrote: ↑Thu Dec 24, 2020 3:50 pm Scanning Marmot's ISO in full, my critique is this: his posts fit perfectly into the agenda Made was pushing. The small size of this game would prompt the Mafia team to be aggressive (they don't need to survive for a long time. Just a couple of day phases, so I think we're more likely to see coordinated pushes in this setup than in a ~15 player game, for instance). He defends Made, he pushes hard on Wilgy and Syn with a some smaller nudges toward Kyle and Alison. I think the suspicions against Wilgy in this game have been bad, and we now know that in at least one case, they were dishonest as well. I do not think Wilgy has done anything outside of the very ordinary for him, and I actually disagree completely with Marmot's assessment of Wilgy's entrance now that I've read it. Wilgy was the victim of the most direct and widespread bandwagon of the game until Made's name was dragged up. And Made was at the forefront of the Wilgy push. So was Marmot.
More.
