WORLD TOUR MAFIA II: JAPAN [DAY FIVE]

[Epignosis]

epi who do you think we should kill today?

Me. At least then I can take a nice Yasumu. I'm already planning to donate my body to a REAL scientist, Elon Tusk!

[Duelist Mirage]

[VOTE: leetic] aubergine

Alright

Spurs does sound like town

[VOTE: nicole] aubergine

I mean, he was the second to last voter on the Nicole wagon after my wagon had long dissipated. Neither vote is explained well (nor is there much of a "progression" to speak of between those posts). Definitely a good opportunity to throw in a bus vote

The time gap there is exactly the timeframe when gims is typically sleeping, obviously he'd already gone oyasumi before the wagon got re-started. He'd expressed plenty of skepticism of Nicole earlier, this joining in on a wagon with townreads is totally typical of his townplay. I suppose he could be 3p but I'd be surprised if he's mafia.

[Epignosis]

I think there's some kind of bias at play where people that were on leetic and then got the hit on nicole suddenly feel like that makes leetic less interesting as mafia.

I think this is fair. To me, I'm a little more sus of Epig than leetic just because Nicole did bother to drop a vote on leetic (theoretically) and avoided Epig, and I'm not sure it makes sense for her to bus when she's in no apparent danger at that point. And I feel like leetic's contributions have on the whole been more towny. But they're not clear (and it could just be both, which would of course be amazing work)

Leetic just barely avoided being the yeet and should have more information than others knowing his own alignment but he's lacking in impulse to solve instead.
It's like the motivating factor just passed by him. It's scummy.
Didn't even find him particularly scummy before this day. And he's been around, clearly.
In my opinion, anyway.

Do you have an opinion on Epig? or if you've talked about him could you point me in that direction?

Again, I agree with the fundamental premise that leetic isn't clear, I'm just saying based on what I've seen Epig looks like a higher priority

A lot about epig looks like refuge in audacity so he's kinda attracting a lot of controversy to himself which...Might or might not be mafia.
Don't really see why he'd straight up use that as an opener though so that leans more towards it being town.
He really wants to look like he doesn't give a fuck I guess. Might be a not town aligned force but not necessarily mafia either.

Sorry this cross-posted as I was typing.

I could see this opinion. Personally, I am still a pretty loud wolf so "attracting attention" doesn't automatically mean town to me.

It's just not even the audacity, but ever since the nicole flip there's been a total lack of engagement. I guess there was a cover in that they would be in the lab this weekend, but still, there's just nothing there helping me find him.

He doesn't want you to find him. You'll have to flip him for that. All that lab crap isn't even meaningful. I could dump a chunk of dough into a bowl and call it a lab.

Anyway. Don't read too much into it but it's just a random thought aka shitposting crossing my mind atm that I still feel like posting.

Spoiler: show

My date of (un)death shall be marked as 8_9_2021. At the hands of killers posing as meatgrinders.

What?! All that...?!

All that lab crap won me first prize! A beautiful prize I gleefully used for my completely innocent purposes last night! AHHahahahahahahaha!

[RondoDimBuckle]

Well its time for me to go into the tea ceremony and be quiet. DOMO ARIGATO for your patience





if you want me to talk more, see you tomorrow. Keep in mind how much you guys got done while I did nothing. Thats a feature not a bug


SUZUKI

[Epignosis]

Oh well. I'm sure "AHHahahahahahahaha" is a Japanese word.

[Porscha]

idk what to do at all with the pool of pyxy/epi/rondo. does anyone have a strong read on any of them that i can sheep?

rondo is kinda towny

[jess]

idk what to do at all with the pool of pyxy/epi/rondo. does anyone have a strong read on any of them that i can sheep?

rondo is kinda towny

i kinda think so too after the exchange we just had lol

[jess]

are u mafia porscha. be honest with me

[Epignosis]

on reflection i don't think that i consider nicole's vote on leetic as an argument for epi being mafia within itself

because if we live in a world where epi/leetic are both town then it seems plausible to me that nicole could have perceived leetic as the player who was more likely to get miselimed than epi, since most ppl were suspicious of leetic basically all day, and the epi wagon was a little more sudden (in my perception at least)

so if epi is mafia then i actually dont really think the wagonomics are why

My own research (over the years) leads me to believe the NicoleandDimed was not enthused about her lot and was okay being shuttled from the beginning into the great white daimyo.

[Vivax]

baka, link broke

Too much raw hate isn‘t good for its survival, though that appears to have been its origin.

[Duelist Mirage]

i think gims is a pretty large part of the reason nicole got any early pressure started on her in thread at all

zettai unmei mokushiroku!

Sekai wo kakumei suru tame ni!

[pyxxy]

Man, I'm deeply disappointed by the contributions today from the people in the POE other than dubz.

Which is not to say I find dubz especially towny, just that nobody else has really even bothered to help me find them, and that's unfortunate

I'm really sorry.jpg

Flying Squirrel was a good man huh.jpg

カルタゴ滅ぶべし

[Porscha]

i think the shade on porscha especially just feels a little inorganic to me? like mac had barely talked about porscha up until that point, why is he saying that she is "surely not town", esp when i dont rly think she's been all that wolfy

I could theoretically see mac saying that about me PRIOR to a nicole flip just based on if he like, iso'd me and saw that I had kinda phoned it in day 1 lol

really, where would I be if I hadn't happened to mention that little detail about nicole? i'd be in the damn trenches lol

but if it happened after the nicole flip, then my brain still thinks he could just not really be reading and he saw I had like less than 15 posts and

mac usually enjoys ruffling my feathers as a test to see how I react, if he isnt able to tell i'm super towny right away / tinfoils me later


but. yes I did think about this and you could be accurate, however also

i'm pretty sure he just admitted to being 3p earlier when he was going on about trekkie or somebody calling mac a 3p

cuz he says "the person who called me 3p had the benefit of KNOWING" (as to why they are a wolf) so

[Duelist Mirage]

Also I think peeps are forgetting that a priest shot could be a random prize win if ya think about it

No it can't

Stop running with the gakidomo, Rondo

[VOTE: Vivax] aubergine

Could you explain your vote rationale a bit?
Switching from the one I was scumreading (Tranq) to me seems contextually a bit odd.
Would you define your votes as meaningful?

[VOTE: Nicole] aubergine

foglands nom nom nom.
Certified silly drunk post (checkmarked)

Taking into account that you could have been conf biasing is me playing advocatus diaboli for you. As for the validity of your initial argument, I keep not seeing it.

I'm done with this for now. I'm not currently voting for you, and if you're town I suggest you find a wolf.

Might just end up voting with people I currently think are town (jess, nut, gims). Michelle to a weak extent.

Reconsidering if I should keep my TR on pyxxy.
NicoleAD kinda nothingburger to me.

A few townreads, stuff I think makes you votable. But there‘s lots of nothingburger apart from that.

Anyone wanna bring back the nicole wagon

Could do that since she didn't vote in the poll.

[VOTE: NicoleAndDime] aubergine

BullshitReader9000 shows there's plenty of teammate compatibility in these four posts. The enlarged "NicoleAD kinda nothingburger to me" is a key way to distance from the results one way or the other (the other being the politician power coming into play).

BullshitReader9000 shows Tranq has even fewer meaningful interactions:

Spoiler: show

No

What makes this mafia

What makes it not mafia?

This Miltank did not answer the question at hand though.
Or do you mean the Miltank represents your own “No” post being a shitpost?

Here’s an origami Miltank:

Is not mafia? Seems simple enough.

This feels like an oddly serious reading of obvious screwing around.
Especially I'm pretty sure that miltank is papermache not origami. [VOTE: tranq] aubergine

You're right to push back. It does look like papermache.

Miltanks aside, the quotes made it look like Vivax asked you a direct question. Looking back, he was actually using your posts as a response to Spurs' question here: https://www.mafiathesyndicate.com/viewt ... 1#p1193401

So disregard my post. On paper it looked like you were avoiding a direct question, but i made a wrong mental fold.

"Hontōni mōshiwake arimasen."

[VOTE: NicoleandDime] aubergine

This vote came at the very end and was the final one for NAD. Given the lack of anything between them, there is nothing here to indicate Tranq isn't on TEAM NAD.

Epi is a whole other thing tho, and I think he deserves some definite scrutiny

agreed

Aye. Specifically when Nicole starting getting votes, Epi voted DM and then tried to recruit Wilgy into swinging the votes.

Based on vote timing, he is suspicious.
Based on posting though, i don't think as mafia Epi would be this obvious? He strikes me more of a teammate bussing kind of player.
No mention of Rondo is also weird. At that time DM-Nicole-Rondo were tied 3 votes each.

After the vote, Tranq gave this half-assed assessment of me!

The first underlined bit mischaracterizes my brief interaction with Wilgy.

The second underlined bit is demonstrably untrue across the span of 13+ years. But if Tranq believes this, then would I not have cast a vote on NicoleandDimed and called it a day?

I have no idea about the last comment. "No mention of Rondo is also weird." I haven't talked to or about most people.

But why not lump me in with Michelle in this gem?

No mention of Michelle in Nicole's ISO.
No mention of Nicole in Michelle's ISO.
Michelle says my post is a fake solve.
I could vote here.

This is statistical noise designed to look meaningful. Cross-reference most people and you won't find mentions of most people Day 1.

Nevertheless, Michelle isn't mafia, is she?

[Michelle]

I would need to know DMs alignment tbh

だってばよ Dattebayo!

Sumimasen, but my honorable nature is not a hard thing to discern should you actually read the game instead of looking at a few random bits and trying to generate suspicions based on that like you've done thus far. Your actions have been reckless and I am relieved that minimal harm was done so far. Not only have you threatened me, but your blade could easily have killed Tranq rather than simply stun him into silence. I would like to have a word with whomever your sensei was who taught you such techniques. Tranq was a valuable member of the band who chased down the dishonorable politician Nicole after spending the day intently searching for the enemy, and you went off on your own to launch a sneak attack on him for his efforts. Such lack of concern for where your blade is pointing is baffling to me.

You spent too much time scolding me.
I had to use the action, the other candidate would be you and I am releived it was not a kill.
When I saw no kills I said 素晴らしい
Subarashī!!!!!

Idk why is hard to read me but I am ok with being exposed to avoid a mischop who could happen

[Epignosis]

Yoi tsuitachi, Michelle.

I have ordered my robots to make you a lovely green tea and red bean ice cream for breakfast.

Please enjoy the solace of no longer being suspected as you freely work out the dangers among us.

[Michelle]

I think there's some kind of bias at play where people that were on leetic and then got the hit on nicole suddenly feel like that makes leetic less interesting as mafia.

Wakarimasu. I'm still considering whether Nicole intentionaly sham-voted leetic in thread but not in poll in order to look distancey but not actually contribute to the threat of leetic getting flipped.

However we should think about if leetic is mafia, that was actually a prior wagon that more people including mafia teammates could react to. That wagon fell apart but why? Michelle started the wagon on me so it wasn't scum starting it, Nicole probably felt unable to join there because she was expressing the strong townread on me. Long Con then joined for a bizarre reason then hasn't been heard from since so that could be mafia. Epi also voted me because... Uh... IDK self-preservation apparently? *raises eyebrow*

Your wagon was the second big one. If you are town how cone mafia didn't pile on you to save Nicole?

なぜ？
Naze? Why?

Yoi tsuitachi, Michelle.

Yummy! Thank you sir!
I am catching up with the day

[Trekkie99]

So are we definitely in a one scum team world?

Bakana koto...

Is there something stopping you from engaging more in this game? I don't really think you're a wolf but it's harder to keep in mind when you seem overwhelmed and uninterested like this.

I guess I just feel unneeded/not useful (for mech reasons as well )
Again large games are hard. And at any point in the game it’s felt like I’m trying to bake a cake with half the ingredients. I’ve only ever had milk and eggs, or flour and sugar.
Individual reads are okayish, (I could tell you who’s probably town and maybe scum) but I’ve never gotten a spark telling me “Ooh! maybe x AND y are scum together!”. There’s no growth.
That only sort of thing like that was you and Nicole but that was against and after my own judgment was proven wrong.

It just frustrates me because it's so alien to my mindset. I'm too much of a tryhard to get a role that could kill someone and not spend time digging in thinking on how to target it. The one time I've rolled vigilante was a game that I signed up for on my casual account just to help the game fill, intending to just play lightly and crack jokes about how I was the traitor. Then I got slapped with Responsibility and had to dig in and strategize. Oh and I guess there was the time I got what was basically an arsonist role and I dug in on researching my target so much that I found crumbs that led to outting a mod error that forced a game reset...

Your wagon was the second big one. If you are town how cone mafia didn't pile on you to save Nicole?

なぜ？
Naze? Why?

Why did you just stay parked on me? Because you weren't around to do anything. Just like a lot of others. The wagon went from 0-7 during what's night-time for most of us, even moderately attentive players may well not have been around, and lots of players were not meeting 'moderately attentive' standards. Even Nicole presumably didn't know Nicole was getting wagoned.

Also any/all of the other three people who were voting me could indeed be mafia trying to pile onto me to do that, it's too soon to decide that didn't happen.

leetic (5) - DM, Scotty, dubz, gims, Nicole

NicoleandDime
Voters: Vivax, nutella, GoSpursGo, gims, DrWilgy, Scotty, Tranq

gims and Scotty are the only leetic -> Nicole voters (at least during the times when the wagons mattered). As for the others, Duelist switched to Dubz, Nicole switched to Vivax, and Dubz vanitied. I believe Scotty said they no longer wolfread me when they returned to the thread but I'll look at gims's progression a bit more

I was thinking that people voting off wagon close to Eod have less scum equity and that i see that works for Duelist and Dubz . Please correct me if I am wrong, but poeple present at Eod and stayed off wagon maybe are uninformed.

Spoiler: show

One thing I particularly dislike is that leetic was in the position of being the precursor wagon to Nicole and he should have been able to produce a lot of information from his POV but instead all we got was this.

Nice hit, and good we got them out early given their role. Not sure how to read VCA, theoretically Nicole would have been more likely to survive if her wolf partners voted her but it seemed very unlikely that she would hit the required 11 votes, especially so late in the day. Dubz isn't a last-minute vote that would have given Duelist Mirage much advantage if they were paired with Nicole, so minor town points there I guess?

What???
Twice what???

I'm not sure exactly what you want me to have done here? My wagon was largely voted by people for poor/no reasons but that's a point that has been litigated a bunch already. Plus my post is looking at specifically EoD wagons, I don't really care about the person who didn't show up in time to move their vote off me

You mean dubz?

My issue isn't with your wagon. It's about the reasoning of your attempt to VCA here. Why would Nicole be more likely to survive with partners voting her?
Kinda somewhat understand your Dubz estimate but still feels like weird logic.

Because of her role, duh

Wow I just kinda gaf about her being mafia tbh. Respect for considering the details I guess.
Does that mean there's a doublevote on the CW? Because otherwise it would be a majority, would it not.

Plurality from what I'm used to means that the first person to reach the majority gets yeeted at equal vote amount.

Nicole was at seven, which is four (I believe) votes short of a majority. If you exclude nonvoters (Porscha and RDB) then she was three behind. Either case, it didn't look likely that she would hit the required number, though maybe her partners were in the background waiting for a couple other people to join the Nicole wagon before they would jump on it. Still, it didn't seem like there was a huge attempt to kickstart any other potential wagon; the Duelist wagon was static after I joined it and no one else was even close.

Another possibility now that I read this is that mafia didn't have much control of the thread, or some are so deep that they didn't want to expose themselves

You spent too much time scolding me.
I had to use the action, the other candidate would be you and I am releived it was not a kill.
When I saw no kills I said 素晴らしい
Subarashī!!!!!

Idk why is hard to read me but I am ok with being exposed to avoid a mischop who could happen

It just frustrates me because it's so alien to my mindset. I'm too much of a tryhard to get a role that could kill someone and not spend time digging in thinking on how to target it. The one time I've rolled vigilante was a game that I signed up for on my casual account just to help the game fill, intending to just play lightly and crack jokes about how I was the traitor. Then I got slapped with Responsibility and had to dig in and strategize. Oh and I guess there was the time I got what was basically an arsonist role and I dug in on researching my target so much that I found crumbs that led to outting a mod error that forced a game reset...

Your wagon was the second big one. If you are town how cone mafia didn't pile on you to save Nicole?

なぜ？
Naze? Why?

Why did you just stay parked on me? Because you weren't around to do anything. Just like a lot of others. The wagon went from 0-7 during what's night-time for most of us, even moderately attentive players may well not have been around, and lots of players were not meeting 'moderately attentive' standards. Even Nicole presumably didn't know Nicole was getting wagoned.

Also any/all of the other three people who were voting me could indeed be mafia trying to pile onto me to do that, it's too soon to decide that didn't happen.

So the sensors just exploded. Thank you for that.

What is the point of any of this?

Is it to help you figure out Michelle?

counterpoint: does arguing with and shading the one confirmed town make DM bad? I think it looks like frustrated, affronted town
