Battle of the Bands Mafia [ENDGAME]

[Porscha]

I wonder if wolves can just stack the guy they want to win who gets a bonus and make the nk there literally every time to avoid a townie with a bonus from existing the next day. like inherently there is risk you could go wrong but if in thread we discuss who are voting for then I dont see why wolves dont just off the guy who they think wins every time

[Porscha]

oh robyn didnt actually submit a song. huge lolz

[falcon45ca]

i'm actually really sad you guys wont ever hear any of my songs

Just show us after the game's done

[Porscha]

do we submit a new song each day or will the first one be in place so long as it doesnt get used @Epignosis

[Porscha]

like if pyxxy is town here I think if I"m a wolf I just off him. no bonus power. problem solved

[Long Con]

You're all crappy cowards for not voting me, if I'm a wolf, you vote for me, that's how the game works, do we all need a remedial course?

Get it right tomorrow, show your dazzling skills.

ok I expect an essay on why I'm the best mafia player for voting a wolf

[nutella]

Like, further, there's a thing we PROBABLY should've discussed before EoD and it's how to handle the battle and who gets bonuses.

Like, is it better to send someone who we think Is town and someone who we think is wolf and hope that the townie player has a better musical taste?

Like, I think Pyxxy was a good submission because they wolfy, but now they are wolfy AND will have some unknown bonus

mm yeah i didn't really think about this (read: i missed the prize thing entirely until after eod)

Why Porscha Is The Best Mafia Player

Porscha is amazing at Mafia. She's very skilled because she votes for the people everyone says is Mafia, and she does so fearlessly, without equivocation. The way she places a vote like that is an absolute shining beacon of towniness, especially when contrasted with others who speak out one side of their mouths. The object of the game is to win, and Porscha has shown great WIM and confidence, in a way that will get the Townies there, if they can just get with it.

When players call out a player as suspicious, or wolfy, but then don't vote there, it's often a sign that they don't really know what they're saying, or, commonly, they are just Wolves who are trying to see what they are allowed to say. Porscha exhibits none of those qualities. Instead, she makes a clear-headed, straightforward statement in the thread, and in the poll: This is the player that I suspect, and it's not about what everyone else thinks, it's about what I think! Undeniably towny, and more likely to finish the game in the Win column.

Many players have been seen talking about certain suspicions, and yet not casting a vote to follow up with them. Even when a suspicion seems to be nigh-universal, players are seen to ask others if they should be voting for their suspicion. This indicates a concern with how they are seen by other players, as though they know that the fake suspicion they are peddling will come back on them if they push it too hard. These players come across as wishy-washy, indecisive, and pandering. Not so with Porscha! A fearless vote for a shameless suspicion, and those sad-handed pleasers be damned. Strong, and respectable.

The ultimate goal is to win, and to eliminate players not on your team. A player like Porscha exhibits the better qualities of such a winner, and, as actions become results, so too is Porscha more likely to become a winner. Self-doubt, second-guessing, and pandering to the masses, are things that Porscha leaves behind, unwanted and unneeded. With a laser-focus on a victorious endgame, Porscha sets an example for us all, to be better winners, and by extension, better players.

In conclusion, Porscha is probably the number one townread in the game at this time, due to her skillful voting, confident suspicions, and winning clarity and acumen. This player deserves everybody's respect and admiration, and, if they are able, emulation.

[Long Con]

Wilgy, nutella, and a few others are on the scumreads for not sticking to their supposed guns.

[Long Con]

Oh, lol, I didn't realize we had lost the game already. Silly LC. GG!

[LoRab]

Hey, y'all!! Sorry I missed the very beginning. I totally missed that it started--need to figure out why my notifications stopped working.

Thanks to Epi for sending a minion to let me know.

Going to catch up now!!!

[Long Con]

Trying to find a pyxxy vote that has any credibility.

[DrWilgy]

Wilgy, nutella, and a few others are on the scumreads for not sticking to their supposed guns.

When did I not stick to my guns?

Pyx joined the game did a lotta squatta and was very wolfy in the sense that they were here but effectively did little to no solving. I'm used to Pyx chaos posting and getting lost in their own solve and that just wasn't present.

[DrWilgy]

Actually @Long Con I just reviewed Nut around the time they voted Robyn and I'm fairly confused where they "didn't stick to their gun" too lol

[Long Con]

You all were extremely agreeable that Long Con was a Wolf, and yet your vote ended up snuggled up with the others on pyxxy. Cool universal Wolf read, guys, really looks almost real, but you didn't stick the landing. BLNT

Are you able to quote this Universal Wolf Read?






And if you feel you're being pushed wrongly, and that those responsible were quite quick to push pyxxy, then that would make them more likely to be Town than Maf, no?

They shade me mercilessly, and then are too afraid for their Town status to vote me because they know it'll end up Town? Nah, that's super-wolfy. They want someone else to "catch on" to the buzz they're creating, so that player can be held accountable.

Spoiler: show

I forgot how to vote people besides in the poll so uh
imagine i'm voting princess abagail or long con

here cape, you're contractually obligated to townread me after this post

long con wolf
abbi town
wilgy wolf

Long con oh yeah thats a mafia for sure

yeah long con is a wolf

[VOTE: robyn] aubergine for that interaction with porscha lol

lc wolf if theyre not though maybe

well i don't not wolfread long con


i think most likely he and robyn aren't both wolves

[VOTE: robyn] aubergine for that interaction with porscha lol

lc wolf if theyre not though maybe

What makes LC wolf rather than wrong?

just vibes

already didn't have the best feelings from his entrance and then the way he phrased his vote on robyn could be predatory but also could be not idk

TSP no
Falc no
LC yes

tsp {ERROR: NO DATA FOUND}
falc no
lc yes

Let's play a game of would you vote.

I give names, y'all say if you'd vote or not.

TSP
Falc
LC

Yes.
No.
Yes.

LoRab
Nut
Sheep

no
yes
yes??

Let's play a game of would you vote.

TSP

no
no
yes

I would have preferred long con in over robyn tbh

until I am told otherwise I will be talking about how long con is a wolf

until I am told otherwise I will be talking about how long con is a wolf

I am in agreement.

Agreement with talking that is.

Not necessarily sold on LC but I do agree that LC/Pyx being top two would've been more optimal.

[Long Con]

Going through nutella's posts for Day 1 and it's going to be pretty hard to find a candidate that I'm MORE likely to vote for. It's practically openwolfing.

[DrWilgy]

You all were extremely agreeable that Long Con was a Wolf, and yet your vote ended up snuggled up with the others on pyxxy. Cool universal Wolf read, guys, really looks almost real, but you didn't stick the landing. BLNT

So, if I have multiple wolf reads, or even better a PoE (as I don't think you're inherently wolfy, I do think you've not shown town like the removed players), do you expect me to not advocate where my PoE lies while still voting the person I find scummiest?

I suppose my confusion is where do you think to find my alignment in this? What of me doing this points me to either wolfy or townie?

[DrWilgy]

And I guess what's even weirder to me, why Nutella and I specifically, when players like Cape, Abi or Sheep also advocated negative reads on your slot?

[Long Con]

Don't try to lawyer your way out of it now.

[DrWilgy]

Don't try to lawyer your way out of it now.

I see.

Alright well if you don't desire for me to actually solve you, I'll move on.

[staypositivefriend]

hi friends

uh i absolutely did not realize that this game started until now lol and i am getting my bearings and will read through the thread shortly

looks like i didnt miss too much but is there anything pressing i need to know?

[staypositivefriend]

oh did d1 already end?

[Long Con]

oh did d1 already end?

Yes it did, with Robyn and pyxxy getting the most votes. Unfortunately, Robyn neglected to choose a song, and so she's gonna be the one gone.

[Epignosis]

I have deleted a post.

Do not post when I have asked you not to post.

[LoRab]

Hello, all!

Thanks again to Epi for having SVS (who knows how to get in touch with me outside of syndicate) let me know the game had started.

Finished reading.

A few thoughts:

I agree we should strategize for next day, and can't believe that no one thought of that before this evening (US Eastern). Especially with low conversation (and sorry for my part in that--I truly didn't know the game had started).

Also, I'm not sure why everyone is treating this like a normal mafia game in terms of how to think through suspicion and who to put up to the battle. It's not a normal set up, and I think it doesn't make sense to play it that way. But that's just me.

I had other thoughts, but I'm super tired, and 1. can't remember what I wanted to say and 2. I need to finish some work stuff and go to bed.

More in the morning.

[Long Con]

Good thoughts, LoRab! Welcome to the game.

What kind of strategy were you thinking? Someone suggested putting up one (town) player to try and boost their power, and one (wolf) player to eliminate... but that plan has an obvious downside, were we to pick the wrong song. Who suggested that? Suspicious.

[Sheep]

I fear for my life choosing songs tbh. gonna have to like, pick some of the most popular ones of the musicians I like to appeal to the masses here I think lol

or maybe I go independent. I dunno

Is the simple action of talking about this, providing hint at what you pick? This is the real speculation. (porscha w btw)

no it is showcasing my indecision (wilgy w btw)

i like this post (there's a thunderdome between wilgy & porscha now btw)

are you trying to force a thunderdome...

that was not serious mostly bc i was bored bc nothing was happening
i don't like this post from cape which means he's in town meta (for having a odd read on me specifically)

[Sheep]

ok i have no motivation to make reads besides a "wilgy feels weird both in general and from what i remember of playstyle but idk it's probably a thing, porscha's towny but i also have no confidence in that, long con pings is probably just a player thing"
but based on page 3 looks like rest of pl doesn't have a lot of interest in solving either so i can absolve myself of guilt to some extent

[Sheep]

I voted robyn btw

I actually think robyn is town lol

ew how? lol

How do I put this...uh...vibes ig I just don't think this is how robyn enters thread as wolf here am I off base maybe cause its a light read and one I'm hardly committed to

i thought robyn was towny too though this explanation is slightly different
(oops i'm back)

[Sheep]

Just out post the town and win ggez

i feel like something should be clicking for me with this slot but i just can't ... it's something adjacent to LAMIST except that term is bad and can go die

[Sheep]

gonna veto the sheep wagon, he will make his alignment obvious, especially because he's polarized. d2 he'll be a free pelt or obv town and i'd like you two to wait until then @pyxxy @Cape90

i'm also a fairly easy read on the music front but yeah i really have not done anything on the polarized front
uh might be a bad strategy because i probs won't post as much d2 but d3 i will trust

[Sheep]

yeah long con is a wolf

i just realized robyn died lol that took too long to connect
why did that happen
ugh i feel like porscha's stock is dropping but i can't explain why

[Sheep]

Abi
SPF
Wilgy

No
No
Yes

i like how wilgy does gth reads on the playerlist but slowly
(these are like utterly useless to me which makes me wolfread wilgy but i've reached the "i can't make reads" point of the night so hf)

[DrWilgy]

Abi
SPF
Wilgy

No
No
Yes

(these are like utterly useless to me which makes me wolfread wilgy but i've reached the "i can't make reads" point of the night so hf)

ew, a wr based on the timing of a player rather than the content. Kinda gross.

Further, by all means attempt to run these yourself if you'd like.

I know I could've gone down the list and put yes no in one post next to everyone where you have no context of the time I spent thinking on it, but I'm pretty sure gth to the group is more about the responses you get.

[Porscha]

okay great sheep is also a wolf

[DrWilgy]

okay great sheep is also a wolf

Aye seems so.

I think it was Robyn that advised they were polarized. Unfortunate they wont be here to chime in.

If it's 3 wolves (4 misyeeter I think in a 13 man setup), could just be Pyxxy, Sheep and one of the more AFK players if not Nut or LC.

PoE and order feels like Pyxxy > Sheep > AFK slots > LC > Nut

[☆Princess Abigail☆]

oh did d1 already end?

Yes but hello spf save me pls

Of robyn that is

[☆Princess Abigail☆]

I'm just the wolfiest town you ever did see

[☆Princess Abigail☆]

okay great sheep is also a wolf

I highly disagree

[☆Princess Abigail☆]

I'm feeling wilgy + Porscha is a distinct possibility but I still town read them more than I tinfoil them so meh

[Porscha]

You're all crappy cowards for not voting me, if I'm a wolf, you vote for me, that's how the game works, do we all need a remedial course?

it would be rude to not acknowledge it soooooooooooooooooooo it's acknowledged but you're probably still a wolf, sorry

[Porscha]

okay great sheep is also a wolf

I highly disagree

how do you disagree? pick a single post that was towny

[staypositivefriend]

i looked at the first few pages earlier and thought porscha and cape were both town but then i got distracted lol

ill get fully caught up tomorrow
