Re: Mortal Kombat Mafia [Day 1]
I'm 8 pages behind. I honestly won't catch up but...from what I have read and posted....I am going with a made vote. I'm not sure why people are going for Mac so if anyone wants to share, that would be cool.
Banners are cool, but a pain to scroll through so...
I've won a lot of games. I've hosted some games. The end.

Re: Mortal Kombat Mafia [Day 1]
in fact i did see it as a red flag, until you and Jay reassured me that this was just part of his meta, is it a part of mac meta in all alignments?

Re: Mortal Kombat Mafia [Day 1]
How many games have you played with Mac?
Why are you the one trying to defend him with his supposed meta? This bothers me.

Re: Mortal Kombat Mafia [Day 1]
To go further, the guy who reassured you with that is voting for Mac. And you're using that argument with no personal basis, just based on what one of the guys voting for Mac said. Why are you keen to defend Mac using someone else's argument that you can't verify?
Am I the only one seeing this?

Re: Mortal Kombat Mafia [Day 1]
I am not defending him, it's just a question. Mac gave me bad vibes last night with the way he came at me, the reason I felt okay about him was because I was told that his behavior was not out of the ordinary for him. I want to understand Mac's meta so I know how to treat him.speedchuck wrote: ↑Sun Jan 14, 2018 4:48 pmHow many games have you played with Mac?

Re: Mortal Kombat Mafia [Day 1]
I have no reason to believe that quin or Jay would lie about Mac's meta, and actually the fact that they both verified it says to me that it's probably a true fact about him.speedchuck wrote: ↑Sun Jan 14, 2018 4:50 pmTo go further, the guy who reassured you with that is voting for Mac.

also, again I am not defending him. I am asking questions to better understand his meta so I can decide things on him for myself with greater context.

Re: Mortal Kombat Mafia [Day 1]
Mac is highly aggressive and abrasive as a civilian and as a mafioso. I don't like to judge Mac by meta, because he is one of the better manipulators of that method I know (both as a hunter-by-meta and a deceiver-by-meta). His content is best assessed at face value.

Re: Mortal Kombat Mafia [Day 1]
Yeah...
Approach the game however you want. There are some players that don't have all that many posts. In the first page of the topic (or under the player avatars), there are links to an isolated list of just that player's posts. You could isolate a low poster and provide an opinion on just that player.
You could look and gutread people in the moment, based on the current couple of pages.
This is all D1 stuff. I imagine it'll lose some of its relevance once we have some flips.

Re: Mortal Kombat Mafia [Day 1]
I'm sorry I honstly did not pay much attention to him, I've missed a large chunk of this whole Made accusations part & that's on me. thinking to reread the whole thread in order to follow up.Quin wrote: ↑Sat Jan 13, 2018 6:10 pm I want to hear more from @lapluie. Most of her responses are in a back and forth with Sloonei, which is understandable given its her first game here and she's sticking to who she knows. I'd still like to see her mingle a bit. She brings a good perspective to games when she gets settled.
lapluie:
1. What do you think about Made?
2. Why is Marmot's vote for nova more likely to come from scum than town?
3. Tell me something new.
not sure, hes still not explained his vote (?) Correct me if I'm wrong, if it is just a random vote for a town newbie in order to get reactions then that's understandable, he's just been avoiding questioning regarding that matter though which is dodgy & again correct me if I'm wrong if he had already appealed to answering then I'll look into it.
May (not) vote tonight, will check in again once I've followed up this thread & have made a decision

Re: Mortal Kombat Mafia [Day 1]
I’ll come back to my town read on Mac, but let’s start with JOH. From what I can tell my gut read is usually right but here I’m inclined to keep him alive because I know him better.
I read through some of his Maf games and he doesn’t seem to be following that pattern, but he also isn’t playing what I would consider to be typical JOH town behavior day 1. So a null meta read, which is unfortunate. I’ll post on substance in just a second.

Olay yeah seems fair. game would pick up more once the ball really rolls.
I think people are just shyed away from posting from not being involved in topic.

Re: Mortal Kombat Mafia [Day 0]
I decided to iso Mac after reading Jay's thing, since most of my personal impression of Mac came directly from his interactions with me.
Some things stuck out to me. In general there is a strong feeling of mudfling in many of his posts, a lot of which he doesn't follow up on. he seems like he's generally on a hunt to find posts that look bad rather than players who seem bad at least for about the first 1/3 of his posts.
he was really cage-y about answering my 'getting-to-know-you' questions, but when he did he answered it with an enormous list detailing his experiences with every single player in the game. it stuck out to me at the time because like..... well.... low-key any time I ask those sort of getting to know you things there's a part of me that makes note of players who are exceptionally eager or exceptionally non-eager to respond to it. mafia will sometimes subconsciously jump through hoops to vibe as acquiescent/cooperative and "who are you?" questions are an easy way to do that for a mafiosa without actually doing or saying anything. Mac's response to my question was simultaneously both of the things that I look out for as well as neither of them.
In his interactions with me, I still think there's a possibility that his refusal to respond to my questions during that time was performative. The idea that you shouldn't respond to a player you suspect's questions about who you suspect is so backwards to me, and the fact that he accused me of pulling a no u on him when he was acting the way he was.... Idk. Mac and I go about the game so differently. He seems to scum hunt by assuming guilty first and then going on the aggressive about it, while I treat everyone with a cautious neutral glove until I have a significant reason to believe they're one thing or another.
If there's something I see as being a point towards him being civ, it's his list of things he thought I was doing that are things that are, according to him, mafia tells for his playstyle...

assuming this is a true description of Mac's scum meta, this basically reads as a list of things that are the exact opposite of what this Mac is doing and saying. this Mac is to the point, has only 2 civ reads, and has done nothing but escalate things, and he has been running around smacking everyone with his battle axe.MacDougall wrote: ↑Sun Jan 14, 2018 6:14 ama lot of tactics I employ when mafia.

Re: Mortal Kombat Mafia [Day 0]
Mac's game is more diverse than that. I can believe that he has employed some of those tactics before as a mafia player, but those don't exclusively describe his mafia play. He wasn't like that in the 2015 Game of Champions or Talking Heads.Kylemii wrote: ↑Sun Jan 14, 2018 6:42 pm If there's something I see as being a point towards him being civ, it's his list of things he thought I was doing that are things that are, according to him, mafia tells for his playstyle...

This is your second consecutive post where you’ve used sound sentence construction, proper use of punctuation and near-perfect spelling. Just who are you and what have you done with our Sig?sig wrote: ↑Sun Jan 14, 2018 1:41 pmWell hello there, looks like I've kinda caught up. So I'm going to post a few thoughts when they're still fresh from my catch up then I've gotta go for a run and will be back to ISO and reread some things later. What I'm seeing right now is we have a major three way smack down going on between Jay, Sloonie and Jack which I still don't really get. Mac is prodding, but as someone pointed out he's acting much more mellow which is odd, quin/kyle have both been under some suspicion which I'm not sure is justified based on there game play/what people are accusing them of and we have a fair amount of new players.
I'm reading Glorf as solid town and a few other players as lean towns who I've already listed. The main issue I'm having right now is that I don't see anyone being scummy.
Kyle had some odd early game posts, but I think has come back from it.
Made and nutella both look okay to me, but I'm curious why she placed me so far down on her list.
I'd like to see some more posts by Wilgy, Eloh, MM, and the newer players I feel like a few posters have the vast majority of posts/content which could let scum wallflower and not be noticed. I also find it odd that Wilgy isn't being as active/odd as he usually is. This could point to him being scum and trying to live longer, but seeing how often he's mislynched I don't think I'd vote for him.
LC is looking good I'd rather not lynch him.
Speed pinged me a bit, but I can't remember why so I'll need to go back and check.![]()

I was paying some attention when I was posting, I'll go back to my normal shitty posting style now. :P
(before someone says "Sig is paying attention since he's mafia and checking for errors!" No i'm not checking for errors since I'm mafia I'm just pretending not to be illiterate for once.) :P
linki: On a serious note, Mac is very good at switching his mafia styles around and with his absence I feel like he could've come up with new strategies.

Re: Mortal Kombat Mafia [Day 1]
It would be very limited, my friend. You and Jay would top it. There’d be a handful of people who would appear in the next tier down like our friend MacDougall then a whole bunch of people about whom I have reservations like Quin and Kyle. Then there’s Chuckles and Jack (whilst reading him Town earlier) seems to be in free-fall, Made who confuses the hell out of me. Then there’s a bunch of people like Wilgy, Sig & Co that I haven’t seen enough of to make any kind of judgement yet.

This isn’t going to be exact because it’s hard to describe meta and also Jack plays very similarly in all of his games.JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Sun Jan 14, 2018 6:42 pmPlease describe the civilian and mafia meta expectations you have for Jack.TonyStarkPrime wrote: ↑Sun Jan 14, 2018 6:32 pm I’ll come back to my town read on Mac, but let’s start with JOH.

Civillian Jack hunts sporadically, especially early. He’s almost always right in half his games, but in the other half it’s as if he’s picking random. He’s very skilled but it often seems like he hedges his playstyle so he has a better meta for his scum games.
Maf Jack is more focused and more right, and can dominate later days. He also has a distinct mafia feel the first two/ three days where he either gets lynched or survives and wins out.
This game he’s been a little sporadic, but he’s sticking to his early leads and hasn’t been hunting much in the way I’d expect.
This game: A lot more of his stuff seems fluff than I’d expect from town or Maf Jack, but it’s hard to get a good read on what kind of stuff is having an impact when you’re skimming it 12 hours later. Generally good questions, interesting ideas. Probably a slight town lean.

Re: Mortal Kombat Mafia [Day 1]
She isn't playing the game, I don't usually jump on funny/joke posts since I do them so often, but the way he said it was strange. Also I'd say strange is like somewhere between suspicious and null, like I should look into it more since it pinged me, but I probably won't.
I don't have many reads to give honestly nobody looks that bad to me yet I've had some minor pings, but nothing more. I feel like I'd get good information out of the few big post arguments, but that's alot of work.JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Sun Jan 14, 2018 3:07 pm I suspect sig. He gave a bunch of town reads including a dubious pass for Long Con, and the only suspicion he didn't in some way retract was "speedchuck saying he'd vote dunya is strange" -- the weakest of sauce. He was vaguely critical of Kyle and Sloonei, but didn't stick to either.
Someone said he was mellow, or maybe he said it? In reference to being old/having another kid.

He's missing the opportunistic nature that scum LC usually has, where he's active, tries to lead lynches, and is a mega poster. He could be trying another strategy as scum true, but I doubt that.
I did like Kyle's last post on Mac, so I'll take another look at the case on him and see what I see.
I believe Eloh is genuinely frustrated and doesn't like the votes flying around/post count for a few reasons. The main one being changeable votes is still very new to TS and she's a vet of the site when you could only vote once a phase. For the level of posting it can be frustrating/intimidating to have so much to read so early on. So I don't think what she said was off or scummy.

Though Made having me as his big scum read and not explaining it at all is annoying as fuck. When I asked he did exactly what you did and just asked me to explain something with no explanation as to why. Jack would be a civ read if not for other people's opinion having me questioning myself.Kylemii wrote: ↑Sun Jan 14, 2018 7:53 am I want to be clear, I don't necessarily think you're even bad, Mac. I believe Jay and Quin's testimony that this is just how you are usually but I also dont think that going about suspicion like that is particularly pro-town.
but maybe I only view things the way i do because I have a generally careful and calm-minded playstyle. your playstyle seems wildly different from mine and if it works for you then who am I to tell you it's not effective?
I asked for your reads on those 4 players because my knee jerk reaction to seeing a player go about about pursuing a sudden and new suspicion in an overly strong way is to figure out asap who they might be deflecting attention away from someone, the four players I thought of who might be in need of deflection were the four I mentioned, Jake, Made, Sloonei, and LC.

Re: Mortal Kombat Mafia [Day 1]
EoD takes place in under an hour. I still have substantial content to review in this thread and as such, feel uncomfortable in casting a vote at this stage. I actively dislike the current wagons (i.e. Mac, even Kyle - I want to give him more time, and especially Sloonei). My involvement between now and EOD will be patchy at best. I’ll try to keep up to speed as best I can but that is going to be VERY limited (I am at work and getting smashed as I type this). I trust you all appreciate my predicament. Thank you.

I probably won't be around for the deadline. Sorry. I'm far from certain about Mac, but I have reasons to object to most of the other bandwagons I see and Mac is the closest thing I have to a stable suspect at this point, so I'm leaving my vote on him. I urge you all to keep on working on this thing until the very last second.

Re: Mortal Kombat Mafia [Day 1]
I think both Sloonei and Kyle would be terrible lynches. I can understand the case against Made. I am more moved by the case against Mac.

Where are you at on this? The deadline is in 40 minutes.TonyStarkPrime wrote: ↑Sun Jan 14, 2018 4:08 pm I don’t think it’s really inaccurate. You did present yourself as trying to talk to Made but there wasn’t anything until after I posted that read. That said, I’m inclined to move my vote off you but not until I catch up.

Re: Mortal Kombat Mafia [Day 1]
Threw a vote on Kyle. Not sure I'll be here to discuss before EoD because I'm dealing with like three groups of people coming in to do house mods for dad. I direct you to look at the exchange I had with Kyle at the very beginning of the game. I've got an evaluation of it somewhere in my posts.

Re: Mortal Kombat Mafia [Day 1]
Out of the players who have more than one vote rn, I see myself most likely voting for MacDougall. I've seen more reasons to read Sloonei and Made as civ than I have for him, and I agree with Jay's thoughts on why some of his behavior feels bad.
I think Sloonei responded to the Made stuff against him and my questions adequately, and the fact that Made backed off of him makes me think I was wrong about what the implications of his hunt were. My suspicion of him was largely based on my theory that Made knew something extra somehow, without that Sloonei looks pretty okay.
Made has done some weird shit tbh but I think overall he seems genuine and i have trouble thinking of mafia motives for the way he went about things there.
I also.... really don't want to die.

Re: Mortal Kombat Mafia [Day 1]
Made and Kyle are two of my stronger town reads. Drwilgy is also firmly on the town side of my rainbow. I'm not scum and I don't think either of the people voting for me right now have substantial reasons for doing so. novaseline is a first time syndicat and a town read in his own right, so I won't vote for him under any circumstances today. Of the people receiving votes, that leaves birdwithteeth, Long Con, and Mac. bwt has said zero things. In the absence of true suspects, I don't object to lynching a no-show. I'd prefer to lynch somebody with a substantial case on them, and I think bwt is more likely to make an appearance in this game than some of the other no-shows. The only thing I have to say in LC's favor is that I feel like he'd be more of a presence in the thread if he was scum. That's my only real comment on him, so I don't have anything that I could label a solid read.
Mac is someone I am actively suspicious of. So he's getting my vote right now.

I think he might be a hiding baddie.

Re: Mortal Kombat Mafia [Day 1]
Someone should explain the case against Kyle to me quickly. Beyond "he talked about mechanics a lot" I really don't know what the gripes are.

Re: Mortal Kombat Mafia [Day 1]
are you talking about the exchange where you asked why I didn't suspect you? I thought it was a joke? how was I supposed to take it.Quin wrote: ↑Sun Jan 14, 2018 8:22 pm Threw a vote on Kyle.

Okay.

What if I told you that BWT hasn't visited the site at all in the last two months?

Re: Mortal Kombat Mafia [Day 0]
wait, is this seriously what it was about? page one was all prodding. I didn't have any reason to take any of it as serious reads or datapoints. why would you expect me to take a discussion where you claimed to be a mafia member with 17 teammates seriously.Quin wrote: ↑Sat Jan 13, 2018 1:09 amI'm talking more specifically about his first 10 posts (that's what he had when I made the initial post). He'd been littering posts here and there while I was getting drop kicked by you and MacDougall, but never really gave his two cents. I had the impression he was avoiding having an opinion.JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Sat Jan 13, 2018 1:03 amYou're probably town. Did you make any observations or draw conclusions apart from what you mentioned re: Kyle about how people handled me screaming at you?Quin wrote: ↑Sat Jan 13, 2018 12:56 am GTH town.
It's not that I wouldn't. I probably could have put you somewhere on the scale based on what I'd read, but I couldn't be bothered with the subsequent "why's" I should expect from you this early. Lazy and unforgivable, right?![]()
You pointed out my correction earlier saying it wasn't actually an impression on you. That's false, it's just not an impression directly reflective of your alignment. You also said it was likely I was trying to cause trouble for Kyle by throwing my reverse-read on him into the wind - that's what happens when the person you're trying to bounce ideas off of drops the conversation on you. I'd have talked about it with anyone if they'd said something about it. Do you have anything to say about it?
I would say that Kyle has spent more time discussing mechanics and the night poll than the average player. I think he has sounded quite genuine in that effort though and don't really view him as a premier suspect. I saw one instance of scum Kyle in the sc2 game he played with dunya, and so far I think he looks more like the town version we've seen on The Syndicate to me.
This is also how he responded to me bringing him up:
Never actually addresses what I say about him but in turn changes the topic entirely.
