Re: Ancient Greece Mafia [Day 1]
I'm getting more MK vibes from Dunya's posts than FE. She seems more genuine and less sly.

Re: Ancient Greece Mafia [Day 1]
This is the first and only thing that made me raise my eyebrow to in regards to Golden.Golden wrote: ↑Mon Apr 23, 2018 8:41 amYou don’t get it. I’m not defending myself. I’m trying to help you read me better.MacDougall wrote: ↑Mon Apr 23, 2018 8:37 amNo man. That's not how this works. I made accusations of you and you tried to discredit me by claiming I misread you all the time. You have failed to show evidence of that. Evidence of me previously reading you well is not required here as I have a good amount of your own posts right here that speak for themselves so I don't need to point at any mystical ability to read you. This is not me making random gut reads on people and pointing at mystic Mac powers. This is you making posts, me finding them suspect, and me finding your reactions as supporting my perspective.Golden wrote: ↑Mon Apr 23, 2018 8:31 amHa, well I didn’t remember that bit.MacDougall wrote: ↑Mon Apr 23, 2018 8:27 amBro, I was scum in Talking Heads. Try again. If you're going to try to discredit my points because you feel there is a pattern to me incorrectly scum reading you as town so far you've only pointed at a game I was scum and a game you were indie.
Look, if you can name a time you’ve ever read me as bad and been right I’ll hand it to you. I don’t believe it exists. This is the reason I’m saying throw out your tellson me - but again you can only do what you’re comfortable doing.
I wouldn't ask of anyone to show evidence that they've caught you before to prove that they make good cases on you. Besides, and I will say it again, even if you HAVE evidence that I read you poorly consistently:
a) It's outdated, it's old
b) I put it to you, that the vast majority of anybody's reads are wrong
c) It's such a small sample size that the two immediate games that sprung to your mind, you were indie in one and I was scum in the other
Moving on. I've made my points. I hope people read them and comment. It would be a shame if they were skimmed.
Anyone who knows me well will probably be reading me as hard town by now. This playstyle does not exist on my baddie spectrum at all.
You can choose to do with it what you will but... if you don’t listen this time, please don’t forget. Remember next time.
One size fits all models are going to end with you losing this game.MacDougall wrote: ↑Mon Apr 23, 2018 8:45 am Playing as Mafia 101
Professor Mac:
"Here are 5 common scum tropes that somehow always work on people:
Do you really think I would do X if I was bad?
Fuck this, I'm out
You never read me correctly
Would I have really bussed Steve in that situation?
This isn't my scum meta
Thanks for attending. You all get a c because I am a shit professor."

Give it time.
It read to me as Dunya looking for something to say rather than having something to say.MacDougall wrote: ↑Mon Apr 23, 2018 8:49 amThis is a good point.
Dunno about Dunia's point. I thought it was pretty obvious what Dom was getting at. Really weak from Master Town Dunya tbh.
The former and the latter are the same in this paragraph.M Plus 7 wrote: ↑Mon Apr 23, 2018 8:57 am His defense posts are what smell like town Golden to me. They've got that super vindictive Golden is a town lawyer arguing his case in front of all of town feel to them. When Golden is bad and he's making a case or defending, he's more measured, like an incredibly rational evil lawyer that constantly makes sense. When he's town, he just passionately spews. The latter is what I'm seeing here.

So, question for you...MacDougall wrote: ↑Mon Apr 23, 2018 9:09 am
In case you didn't believe me about the Pingometer. I was even so excited about it I decided to all caps the title.
Why hasn't it been updated since your original posting it? Or is this just a stunt?

Feel like actually addressing my original post or ignoring it?sig wrote: ↑Mon Apr 23, 2018 11:13 amDom wrote: ↑Mon Apr 23, 2018 11:06 amlol
I'm supposed to derive meaning from a post that I pointed out had no meaning in the first place?
That's exactly my point. Sig had a nice way of saying absolutely nothing in multiple paragraphs. Shady.
How do you mean it?MacDougall wrote: ↑Mon Apr 23, 2018 7:22 amYou are a good player and I feel like you are playing with this post.Golden wrote: ↑Mon Apr 23, 2018 6:25 amBoom! I win!
I have a long history of taking votes on day one when town. You're finding out why right now. My day one record when not town is substantially cleaner.
Oops, there I go talking about my own meta. I ping myself!![]()
In all seriousness though, why are you voting on such basic grounds? Don't you think it would be incredibly easy for me to have played a much cleaner game to date? My behaviour so far has been virtually asking for votes. Kyle even independent read me. Don't I strike you as an 'easy vote' right now?
I mean that in a bad way.
You can't criticize sig for being vague and then do the same. Just because you're using less words than he is doesn't mean it's any better.
I think it's generous to say that it's full of opinions or anything besides fluff.MacDougall wrote: ↑Mon Apr 23, 2018 7:31 amSig's post is full of opinions qualified by wishy washy nothing comments and consistently crafted to remain relatively non committal.
My posts are amazing and filled with great things, amazing things, the best things!![]()
Also I'll keep using words like odd or weird, things can be out of place and out of character, but that doesn't mean the person making the weird posts is more likely to be good or bad.
In regards to Turnip head, I found his random vote for MM weird, there's literally nothing else to add to that. It was a strange thing to do, but it seems NAI.

Re: Ancient Greece Mafia [Day 1]
Here's a quick little list I've put together, most of my reads are shaky and I've got alot of Nulls, but for day 1 I'm feeling pretty good about my thoughts.
Civ Reads: I wouldn't lynch anyone here, but I'm not super sure of their alignment.
lapluie: She hasn't thrown out much content yet, but that's her meta so I'm not concerned. Gut civ read
Civ Leans: This is basically a foundation of a read, so slightly above a Null read.
Choutas: I liked his first few posts, but I don't have a meta for Choutas and he hasn't done enough to get a civ read. Civ lean
Sloonei: I'm liking his content so far. Civ lean
dunya: She hasn't been as active as she was in FE/MK, but that's NAI. I like her tone and content so far even though I think she's wrong on Scotty. : Civ lean.
Kites: I'm not good with reading Kites, but they seem to be playing the same as they did in FE. So slight civ lean
Golden: He's active and providing content and I'm not really seeing the criticism of his posts. Civ lean
MacDougall: Civ lean like his posts and content seems very Maclike
Scotty: I've already talked about Scotty, I'd put him down as a civ lean.
Null: No real read on them.
novaselinenever: Null read, but playing within their civ meta, which is a slight bump
Kylemii: Null, can't recall any of his posts.
wolbre04: Annoying GIFS are annoying, but one of them was of daddy trump so I'm conflicted.
Null read
Long Con: Null, he's posted a few times, but haven't said anything that sticks out without me doing an ISO.
Lunalee: Null
Marmot: Null
ColinIsCool: Null
Epignosis: Seems very inactive for Epi, but it's day 1 and he's a real adult who does adulting things so I'm not to concerned. Null
Jackofhearts2005: No posts yet so super Null
Spacedaisy: Null
Mafia Lean
Dom: Hasn't posted much yet, but his current posts are gut reading bad to me: Mafia lean
speedchuck: I like that he's done a rainbow list, but my gut is pinged by him. Mafia lean
Turnip Head: His posts are weird and he hasn't given much content yet. Mafia lean.
M Plus 7: I've already explained this in game. However, I do agree he's posting alot so that's usually a civ indicator, but I've seen MP be the top poster as mafia. Mafia Lean

Re: Ancient Greece Mafia [Day 1]
What does "NAI" mean?
Re: Ancient Greece Mafia [Day 1]
These are the only two on topic posts from Kyle. The first one is NAI, but I don't like the second post. It seems like he's trying to contribute and ask questions while also hanging back.
Though just to throw out my opinion of the Spartan vs Athena thing, I think we should ignore it and just act as if we're one team.
LC hasn't posted much yet, but after a quick ISO I like what he's posted. I'd move him over to a civ lean. I'd also caution against anyone taking my LC read seriously since I can't read him at all.

Nonalignment Indicator, so the player would do it as a civ or baddie.

Re: Ancient Greece Mafia [Day 1]
I'm gonna [VOTE: ColinIsCool] aubergine because he dropped this post and then left. The thread wasn't bustling with activity at the time, but there was enough going on that he could have offered a comment or two on something. I want Colin to say things when he has a chance.ColinIsCool wrote: ↑Sun Apr 22, 2018 7:44 pm I should let you all know that I just started a new job so I have less time overall right now, and if it seems like I'm lurking, I more than likely just haven't seen the thread yet.
I woke up to ~300 new posts and I have some grown up things to take care of before I go to work today. I sense that I'll be playing from behind early in this game.

Re: Ancient Greece Mafia [Day 1]
I agree in general, but that won't apply to Day 1. I have found through trial and error, the more questions you ask, the more content you produce, and the more difficult it is for scum to hide. Honestly, sometimes I don't care who is arguing about what even if I see it as two townies going at each other. Content is generated, people will leave trails, some may slip even if we can't see it immediately. The priority early on in the game is to get as many people talking as possible. That's how I play mafia, and that's why I can end up with a few hundred posts in one early phase.

Re: Ancient Greece Mafia [Day 1]
I mean, I see what you're doing, but I'm not sure it's the best strategy. the top 3 posters at the time pinged you the most (Golden, MP and me). The more posts people have, the more pings you will naturally feel. that will leave lower posters in the safe zone.MacDougall wrote: ↑Mon Apr 23, 2018 7:39 am I have been making a tally of my strong pings both positive and negative.
Golden is 2/6. (Positives left and negatives right)
Scotty is 1/0.
MP is 4/4.
Sig is 1/1.
Sloonei is 2/0.
Dunya is 1/2.
Speedchuck is 1/1.
Nova is 0/1.
Kyle is 0/1.
Dom is 1/0.
Choutas is 1/0.

I did, I guess you hadn't caught up yet, but Scotty's explanation of how he felt left out when he joined sig's forum and was NK'd N1 was a personal experience that he didn't have to share and I believe he is talking from a genuine place when he says he does not want to vote any newcomers now.M Plus 7 wrote: ↑Mon Apr 23, 2018 8:26 amYou prodded me for info on Scotty, but it doesn't seem to me you've given it any thoughtful consideration.dunya wrote: ↑Mon Apr 23, 2018 4:01 amI dunno.

Yeah that's pretty accurate. My first game of mafia ever on a forum was about five months ago, so I'm still learning steadily. I have never gotten mafia before but I won my second game ever as Serial Killer. I don't know if I can make a joke about the last sentence as it might be against the rules and I don't want to get killed immediately haha. But I don't really have a meta because I'm all over the placedunya wrote: ↑Mon Apr 23, 2018 5:27 am @wolbre04, I look forward to seeing your reads!
also, do you think sig represented you accurately in the blurb below?

I don't believe he's ever been mafia and is still new to mafia as a whole compared to all of us, he's also deadily as an independent and in my opinion if he's one of those three trading guys he'll side with mafia for the lolz.

Re: Ancient Greece Mafia [Day 1]
It's a bit of an inside joke. When me and Kyle first started playing, I scumread him the first two games we played together (1 game I got him lynched I think) because I thought he was building content with the player inquisitions and game mechanic questions. But that's just Kyle. (he also does it as scum to blend in naturally

Yeah that's pretty accurate. My first game of mafia ever on a forum was about five months ago, so I'm still learning steadily. I have never gotten mafia before but I won my second game ever as Serial Killer. I don't know if I can make a joke about the last sentence as it might be against the rules and I don't want to get killed immediately haha.

I don't believe he's ever been mafia and is still new to mafia as a whole compared to all of us, he's also deadily as an independent and in my opinion if he's one of those three trading guys he'll side with mafia for the lolz.

So, the question is... to those that know dunya, is this our lack of knowledge of her? Dunya's questions *feel* hollow to me, is this me trying to project dunya onto sloonei or something?
Sloonei, actually, it's possible you are best placed to answer this. Interested in Choutas' view too.
Interesting - I think we meant two different things here.
I meant that I had a solid townread when you were going at me as though I was painting him bad.
I think you meant you'd legitimately not made a read on him.

Re: Ancient Greece Mafia [Day 1]
D1 is purely conjecture on my part until someone does something overly messy to me, but Golden and Mac seem to be interested in leading the pack and being outspoken
This is fine of course, but the later the game goes, the more I consider whether they are just leading us right into the fire
Dunya was really helpful, but basically a neutral leaning town
MP seems towny-ish, his interactions have been generally NAI with others with an exception or two
For the most part the thread is a half dozen people talking and the others might not be here when the phase ends.
Also, I feel like if anyone wants to ask me a question they can because I want to clear myself as town right off the bat

how does my elaboration make you feel about me?M Plus 7 wrote: ↑Mon Apr 23, 2018 8:31 am I finally got it now when you just elaborated a bit to Scotty too, sorry.![]()
This all makes sense, thanks.
And re: calling me out, I was just getting confused between prodding and genuinely suspecting, but I have a better idea of what you mean now given your posts as well.
maybe I'm using the wrong words to explain what I'm doing. On Day 1, I prod everyone I can and then see what info I have gathered and decide where they fall in alignments in my opinion. I'll have a rainbow list soon for ya'll to show you where my head is at.

To be honest I seriously wasn't sure if I could say "He'll yeah, I'm always indie of course" because it's essentially a softclaim, and a fake one at that. I'm not a wolf I swear

I did what?Golden wrote: ↑Mon Apr 23, 2018 6:25 amBoom! I win!
I have a long history of taking votes on day one when town. You're finding out why right now. My day one record when not town is substantially cleaner.
Oops, there I go talking about my own meta. I ping myself!![]()
In all seriousness though, why are you voting on such basic grounds? Don't you think it would be incredibly easy for me to have played a much cleaner game to date? My behaviour so far has been virtually asking for votes. Kyle even independent read me. Don't I strike you as an 'easy vote' right now?

Re: Ancient Greece Mafia [Day 1]
Full stop the trireme.Golden wrote: ↑Mon Apr 23, 2018 6:31 amNo to both. These are weak-ass reasons for any vote. This is basically the definition of confusing 'weird' with 'bad'. This is like a list of reasons for all the mislynches on sig, marmot and wilgy over the years.
I'm being 'sloppy' because I'm having fun, and my vote wasn't in the slightest bit random but was in fact very carefully considered. It just wasn't because I suspect sloonei.
Through it all, I challenge you to accuse me of lack of meaningful content, because I think you'll find I've already got more than most everyone else in the thread.
You're being sloppy because you're having fun, AND your vote was carefully crafted? I goin full Geppetto here and calling Pinnochio on your ass. To say that you are thinking through your actions while also acting like you're operating from the seat of your pants is bollox, my golden child. You can defend and explain away your merits/metas/reasoning/what-have-you but how can you carefully consider your vote? That sounds unlikely and maybe a bit flippant.

Re: Ancient Greece Mafia [Day 1]
OK you fence sitters- I'ma make a bold statement that I think sig is TOWN.
Tell me why I'm wrong without using previous metas.

Re: Ancient Greece Mafia [Day 1]
obvious that it was snarky, because I understood sig's post. I'm not saying it wasn't wordy or could have used some tightening up here and there, but we're not all wizards with our words.MacDougall wrote: ↑Mon Apr 23, 2018 8:49 am Dunno about Dunia's point. I thought it was pretty obvious what Dom was getting at. Really weak from Master Town Dunya tbh.

Re: Ancient Greece Mafia [Day 1]
Give me a ping in the negative please. If you can't think of something, take this copy of USA Today, read it on the pot, think a bit, and come back to me. There's gotta be something.MacDougall wrote: ↑Mon Apr 23, 2018 7:39 am I have been making a tally of my strong pings both positive and negative.
Golden is 2/6. (Positives left and negatives right)
Scotty is 1/0.
MP is 4/4.
Sig is 1/1.
Sloonei is 2/0.
Dunya is 1/2.
Speedchuck is 1/1.
Nova is 0/1.
Kyle is 0/1.
Dom is 1/0.
Choutas is 1/0.
No real pings from anyone else.
I like Mac's leanings so far.
Matter of fact, for the shit I'm giving Golden, I don't feel like voting him today in any case cause he's adding to discussion. Whether or not he's adding chili peppers to the birthday cake is fodder for another day.

Re: Ancient Greece Mafia [Day 1]
While true, sig is willing to get dirty there. I don't feel like it's safe at all. Are there any posts he has made in this thread that make you feel he might not be a wolf in sheep's clothing?Golden wrote: ↑Mon Apr 23, 2018 8:18 am I agree on nova. But he’s also a newbie to me.
The difference of opinion I have is that I actually agree with nova. Sigs post was just a big no u and I don’t think it was a great post from sig either. But what’s the value in calling out the no u in question form? To me it’s like the old lawyer tenet ‘never ask a question you don’t know the answer to’. They’re probably amongst the safest questions asked in the thread.

"Everyone starts independent until given a reason to align with a particular platform"Golden wrote: ↑Mon Apr 23, 2018 8:23 am Why? I was independently benign with no anti-town intent or conduct and playing the game with a particular angle which in that case was my win con. You were taken with aspects of my behaviour that I think could better be described as weird. You misread my angle. I don’t see the comparison as strange in the least.
I’m not saying I’m independent here - I’m town... what I’m saying is you get pinged by the behaviour of how you think I should act, but there’s history showing I don’t fit in a box.

Re: Ancient Greece Mafia [Day 1]
sorry, I haven't really had time beyond addressing points directed towards me. This is a huge game and like I said, I'm travelling tomorrow till the 4th of May and today has been busy at work and getting ready for that trip. I haven't even finished catching up the last 5 pages yet (but close), but I have promised a rainbow list after I'm done.M Plus 7 wrote: ↑Mon Apr 23, 2018 9:28 am I was starting to feel a bit better about dunya, but as I continued to catch up, I realized that her question to content ratio is pretty lacking. Like, how does she even feel about anyone other than Scotty or Dom right now? And both of those seemed a bit forced to me.

Re: Ancient Greece Mafia [Day 1]
that's not what i asked :/
in the context of this game does neutralize mean get rid of all of? in order to achieve the secret special bonus victory does that require 100% death of the alternative town faction or does it just require a numerical majority.
