DFS Mafia [ENDGAME]

[JaggedJimmyJay]

I feel little pressure in this game. I doubt I was a hot commodity in the fantasy market. I am just too expensive.

I need to deflate your ego a bit before it gets out of control, don't I?

Let's hope all of the prideful players out there will push a little harder to shut me up.

Some early thoughts

M Plus 7 - i can feel the wind from his tail wagging so hard the way over here, eee. While i think he'd be excitable as scum, too, i think the direction that's gone in this particular game is just oozing with how happy he is to get to be playing for the first time with certain people, and in that, the emphasis is clearly on him being excited that those certain people could actually be town like he clearly wants them to be. Serious read, and unexpected--i thought i was gonna be terrified in a but oh god what if he's scum sorta way coming in, but damn if i don't feel like he's probably just town already, AND i'm comfortable with the feeling

JaggedJimmyJay - came in equally comfortable with joking around and with getting down to brass tacks solving (and doing both concurrently), not a bit of it feels forced, i feel like he's seeking out potential paths to sniff his way down without it feeling like he's reaching for minutiae

Kylemii - i do like the way he engaged me, i would've liked it better if he'd actually told me something about himself in his reply (tho i laughed), i'm most interested right now in seeing what he does or doesn't do with the replies he recieves there

Yay, you are town, aren't you?

[Tsaiah]

I swear to god if anyscum even thinks about nking M Plus 7 n1 i will bore a hole through the screen and murder them with my soul

are you Voldemort

Only if he's got a horcrux shaped like a fluffy fox :3

[JaggedJimmyJay]

[mention]Tsaiah[/mention], do you have any suspicions of note yet?

[Tangrowth]

Eventually i'll figure out why the mention dropdown triggers sometimes and sometimes not x3

It can be a bit finicky.

My advice is... whenever you want to tag someone, just hit the @ symbol, then the first few letters of their username, then pause a second, and then it will pop up. Then just either select it or hit enter. Then it should appear with [ mention ] [ / mention ] without the spaces, and then you'll know it will work.

You are my favorite person.

[Tangrowth]

That will certainly do, thanks. @MP

By all means, feel free to add re: Colin, Kyle, etc. You might have more to say than me.

Spoiler: show

MP, in your wild card game you and abyssum seemed to connect as civilian reads quickly (perhaps more in the case of your read of abyssum than the reverse). Can you briefly describe what inspired that -- no need to get deep into matters only relevant to that game. Things that can be applied to this new game are preferred, if they exist.

Yeah, sure. I'll try to explain it but apparently it was very difficult to effectively do so during the WC1 game, lol.

Basically... my read of aby in that game is one of the strongest soul/gut reads I've ever had. It was like they just BLED town spark consistently to me, via displaying:

- a genuine lack of information as noticeable by unconventional lines of interrogation and reassessment of players against thread consensus (as well as interactions with dead scum which seemed to indicate a lack of agenda to me anyway)

- a very loose sense of posting, like whether it was off-topic humor (which was fucking hilarious), an on-topic observational read, whatever, I felt like aby just very organically came up with posts in real time when I was interacting with them in a manner that just struck me as very difficult to fake so consistently

- genuine mindmelding at various points throughout the game, and it was almost like either I could literally steal the thoughts from their brain or they were stealing them from mine, and it definitely went both ways

There was probably more that I'm not effectively communicating, but hopefully that gives an idea.

Hue, i think you may get the "creepily" soulreading town!aby as town thing as well as i do

I just might, haha. Guess time will tell!

She was one of the easiest reads I've ever made, and I was constantly paranoid and reassessing like every post too, but she just kept SCREAMING town to me. I'm not even sure I can fully explain it.

[JaggedJimmyJay]

That will certainly do, thanks. @MP

By all means, feel free to add re: Colin, Kyle, etc. You might have more to say than me.

I was referring to your response to my query re: abyssum. For now I'd prefer to have no meta grasp of the newcomers. I tend to be more successful judging folks I don't know at face value.

No, not really. You know how I am. I'll get there though.

Right now I got:

JaggedJimmyJay
Tsaiah

Kylemii

And that's it I think. I'm still trying to sort through the other posters... and we have a decent amount of players who (understandably) haven't posted yet.

Oh! Got it, misunderstood then. Makes sense to me.

[Tangrowth]

Tsaiah, why don't you seem more concerned that I could be pocketing you right now?

[Tsaiah]

@ Tsaiah, do you have any suspicions of note yet?

Nope. Just some people that I'm trying to get to know, and some people that I'm watching to see what they do next, with some overlap between the two.

I'm a townhunter, on d1 I'm primarily looking for other town (while simultaneously trying to not put any scum in my townreads). My end-of-first day reads have been historically pretty accurate (like if i have ~6 or 7 decently strong townreads, there may be that one inevitable scum hiding among them. Occasionally none, and then that one game that i'm still pissed about, there were two xD)

[JaggedJimmyJay]

I am primarily a town hunter at this stage as well. A few accusations might go a long way toward inciting outrage and fire among those who haven't earned that read though.

[Tangrowth]

Guyssss I have almost 100 posts aghhhh why do I do this to myself... I was supposed to play this casually LOL

The WIM is taking overrrrr

But yeah, incidentally, I will be really busy this coming week, so... don't expect me to play like this pretty much due to lack of time, certainly not due to lack of desire.

[JaggedJimmyJay]

MP: I do not want you to respond to this post. You are forbidden from responding.

Spoiler: show

[Tsaiah]

Tsaiah, why don't you seem more concerned that I could be pocketing you right now?

1) read my "some early thots" post re:you again ;3

2) if you are, you're doing a damn good job of not looking like you're trying to

3) my read on you isn't based on your read on me

4) that giant meta-thoughts post was made in an environment where multiple people could most likely call you out if it was misleading, and thus boxes in everyone on it into a tighter, potentially more difficult to play in as scum space, including your scummates if you had them

5) i have a pretty good degree of confidence in my stronger first-day reads

6) i'm pretty sure you're just town xD

[JaggedJimmyJay]

I have two strong civilian reads. I want more than that. We have a 48-hour Day 0, to be followed by a 48-hour Day 1. We could very conceivably eliminate half the pool before the first lynch is finalized if folks bring the fury.

Agree. I hope everyone can really step it up. This is basically a 96-hour Day 1 if we play our cards right.

And people don't have to post like me or even you by any means. Just do everything that you can!

[Tangrowth]

Well, that's it from me; I'm out of steam for mafia. For tonight anyway. Lol.

I'll do everything I can later in D0 and going into D1, but most likely you all will be getting a significant breather from me to at least some extent. No way can I keep this up by any means, especially now in CA and with new job looming over me, which was partially why I wanted to commit time to it tonight (and I was/am soooo excited!). Anyway, again despite the fact that I'll be gone due to lack of time and not lack of desire, I believe it's probably better anyway to let the thread simmer and give you all a chance to do your thing.

Thanks for interacting with me so far, folks, especially Jay and Tsaiah. I really want to continue doing so with aby, and I need to substantively with Colin, DH, Kyle, and Mac for sure. As for everyone else... I would apologize for such a dense thread already, but fuck that, because I would never apologize for advancing the game forward. Lol. Seriously, I look forward to hearing from and interacting with everyone else as well.

We will destroy this game. I will do everything in my power to ensure it. But we can only do that if all of you that are town do the same. I know we all have our own restrictions, but just do literally anything you can with what time you have. You all rock. I've seen it myself. This is a solid player list. We can and will bury the scum via hard work and aggressive reassessment. I wish you all the best of luck in your early game endeavors.

Until another time!

[Turnip Head]

[mention]Epignosis[/mention] I need my role resent to me cuz I can't open my PM lol

Hello game I'm sure I'm town

[MacDougall]

I feel little pressure in this game. I doubt I was a hot commodity in the fantasy market. I am just too expensive.

You angling to take up another place in my sig?

[MacDougall]

Hello, newcomers. I am JaggedJimmyJay. I'm sure you've heard of me. During Day 0 I will be available for autographs, but please do not ask once the lynchings have begun.

Oh wait it's a posting gimmick.

In my experience Jay + posting gimmick = null read.

Jay is null read.

More meta at 11.

[MacDougall]

what if the only sport i like watching is gymnastics?

Town

Fake

The good news is I'm here.

DharmaHelper is scum

Fake

Let’s lynch MP

Colin is town

Fake

You got me. Wrap it up folks.

[MacDougall]

Lol, what timing.

What makes you assess his poo flinging so far as fake? As you and I both know, it's in character as either alignment. What should I be looking for re: Mac this early? Give me all of your thoughts, Jay.

Poo flinging is great. We should all do it. It should also bear some kind of capacity for response, or at least be traceable to some tangible inspiration. Mac's poo is randomized. I have no idea why those posts he highlighted suggested the alignments he tacked onto them.

Sorry Jay I was unaware that you had evolved your requirements of my basic day 1 101 gameplay to introduce this new attribute that now gives you justification to make meta reads that you never have before. Allow me to update my core programming to give no fucks.

[MacDougall]

Yeah, I don't disagree. I await further content from him.

I am weirded out that he hasn't come after me though and tried to be my friend immediately, lol. Not sure what to make of that. I almost miss the aggressive Mac fucking with me.

I already explained why.

[MacDougall]

You're in full King of Fuck Mountain mode right now, and I'm just loving it.

Let's solve this game, Jay. We can win.

I've had a long break, and I am sick of you taking all the glory.

With you and I as town and in full solving mode, we can crush this game. I'm fucking stoked.

I thought you wanted me to help you crush it. You can't have both of us. Jay and I are highlanders. There can be only one.

You ain't posted yet, shit

I forgot that you actually suck at Mafia now. Sucks to be you.

[MacDougall]

Spoiler: show

Lucky for you all, I'm town.

Let's do this.

Me too lets be friends.

Trying to pocket me? SCUMDOUGALL.

I tried to be nice MP. I tried to be a good guy. I tried to take Golden's advice for a change and not just take up adversarial stances.

And this is the thanks I get.

It's like the other game, I tried to just chill. I tried not to go out hard. I got mis lynched day 1.

I am town.

Well hey man, I appreciate you changing your approach if you feel it's warranted! I do love your aggressiveness too, but for sure I love however you decide to play. Don't sweat it. I'm just throwing out my takes in real time whether they're poo or gold or somewhere in between.

Do you mind explaining your reads right now?

A gift from the universe's greater higher consciousness.

[MacDougall]

I am primarily a town hunter at this stage as well. A few accusations might go a long way toward inciting outrage and fire among those who haven't earned that read though.

Counterpoint I will find the scum on day 0 every time.

[MacDougall]

DharmaHelper and Colin are probs bad. Jay is bad at Mafia. The rest of you have a hall pass for now. Those who haven't checked in should be lynched randomly and consecutively starting right now and we probably win the game really easily. But instead we will probably lynch those that are posting as is the weakness of the civilians in every game.

[MacDougall]

Everyone get back here god damn it I've got time and fucks to give

[ColinIsCool]

Let’s lynch MP

No u Colin

Townread MP for now

I hereby declare this to be a stankbutt post. Utter stankbutt.

Lynch Colin D1?

Perhaps, pending his handling of such a scathing accusation.

Go right ahead

[MacDougall]

It's day 0 so we can't mate.

[ColinIsCool]

Everything MP does makes me think he’s town, but if he just wrote a 6-page MLA double spaced essay where he buddied every single player, he is a MADMAN.

Can I get people with experience to comment on the following players as scum in similar style to MP:

JaggedJimmyJay
Mac
MP
RobotNerd
Tsaiah
Russtifinko
DharmaHelper
Turnip Head
Anyone else for whom this is their first game here

[Lunalee]

Aby, why did you ignore my question? Are you scum? Lol.

nope, just multitasking with x-files

how are you feeling about your team this game?

By team I assume you mean my alignment rand.

Relieved.

So basically what just happened is that abyssum accidentally revealed that you and he are teammates?

And to think you had convinced me you were town with your first post. My radar sucks.

Some early thoughts

M Plus 7 - i can feel the wind from his tail wagging so hard the way over here, eee. While i think he'd be excitable as scum, too, i think the direction that's gone in this particular game is just oozing with how happy he is to get to be playing for the first time with certain people, and in that, the emphasis is clearly on him being excited that those certain people could actually be town like he clearly wants them to be. Serious read, and unexpected--i thought i was gonna be terrified in a but oh god what if he's scum sorta way coming in, but damn if i don't feel like he's probably just town already, AND i'm comfortable with the feeling

JaggedJimmyJay - came in equally comfortable with joking around and with getting down to brass tacks solving (and doing both concurrently), not a bit of it feels forced, i feel like he's seeking out potential paths to sniff his way down without it feeling like he's reaching for minutiae

Kylemii - i do like the way he engaged me, i would've liked it better if he'd actually told me something about himself in his reply (tho i laughed), i'm most interested right now in seeing what he does or doesn't do with the replies he recieves there

Haha, that is so like MP in person I'm laughing.

MP7 meta thoughts on every player in this game

Spoiler: show

abyssum -- (homesite: Flight Rising) -- Played with them in the recently completed WC1 Champs game; we were both town. Based on my experience with aby, they're incredibly adept at insightful and sometimes unconventional lines of interrogation when town, especially as the game progresses. Definitely cares about thread health. Not afraid to go against consensus. In our game they consistently reassessed and engaged with me in a manner that really displayed a genuine town spark that I think would be very difficult to fake. Very good sense of humor. An absolute pleasure regardless.

ColinIsCool -- (homesite: RateYourMusic) -- This old-time RYMer relatively recently has made a comeback here on TS and he's fucking awesome. My most memorable moment with Colin is him as scum in Easter when I was town. I think in that game he did a very good job of fake scumhunting, but his tone always seemed off to me, and he also seemed a bit hedgey and consensus-y. I don't really have much experience with him otherwise yet but I hope to!

DharmaHelper -- (homesite: Lostpedia/The Piano/SpoilerTV) -- Oh great, this fucking guy. Sarcastic, hates rainbow lists, what's to like about him? He even started playing before me. But seriously, DH is one of my all-time favorite people. He's hilarious and a really great guy. In terms of his play, he can really chug out the WIM when he wants to, especially as town, and I've seen him really clamp down and solve the fuck out of games. I've also seen him roll over town as scum as well, so watch out. Unfortunately he doesn't play that often anymore (which I give him shit for because why not) and I'm not sure how hardcore to expect him to play anymore. I think the way to catch this guy in town v. scum is an agenda. When he's town he will relentlessly pursue someone. When he's scum maybe he's a bit more cautious. I am beyond excited to finally be playing with him again.

Infected_alien8_ -- (homesite: Escape Restart) -- Played with Alien during my qualifier Champs game; we were both town. Played with him again in the recently completed WC1 Champs game; I was town but he was scum. I love this guy. Very pleasant regardless of alignment. Asks A TON of questions. I think... having played with him in recent memory as both alignments, he had a harder time replicating very insightful, relentless interrogations as scum that he was just so good at when town. He definitely tried though. Tone can be faked quite well (he fooled me with it off and on). I think the key to solving him is really engaging him as much as possible on his lines of interrogation and trying to parse out what's really going on there. He's fucking good either way though.

JaggedJimmyJay -- (homesite: RateYourMusic) -- The King of Fuck Mountain. Needs no introduction. Jay is... a fucking machine. He's a robot. Probably the quickest ISO maker I've ever seen too. Relentlessly analytical. Likes to use POE, rainbow lists, and all the other fun techniques that I love as well. Hands down one of the most talented players I've ever had the pleasure of playing with, I think he's taught me a lot over the last few years, and I'd hope he's at least learned something from me. I expect to work with him when he's town. Can cheerlead well, but also can rip through players when he thinks he's onto something. He's fearless. He can be difficult to catch as scum. Look for an agenda. Look for posts that may not be attempts to solve the game, and/or if he even gets slightly complacent or consensusy/agenday... then he's probably scum.

Kylemii -- (homesite: Lostpedia/RevolutionMafia) -- Kyle! He's an old-timer from Lostpedia and related sites, and I didn't have the pleasure of interacting with him too much way back when, so it's been great to interact with him early on here at TS and then again in the past year or so. I think Kyle is one of the players that most oozes genuine tone as town, but what do I know, lol. He's good at like... stream-of-consciousness unconventional lines of interrogation when town that I'm not convinced he can fake when scum. I think he's concerned with thread health, but I'm not sure that's AI. I'd say he definitely gets pretty good in the mid-to-late stage of the game, and before then he can be a bit turbulent as town. I haven't even probably played with him enough, so maybe I don't have as much to say here unfortunately. Either way, Kyle is always pleasant and hilarious.

Lunalee -- (homesite: The Syndicate) -- Luna is without a doubt one of the sweetest people ever; it's a wonder she even likes this game. I think when she's town she actually has some low-hanging fruit potential, because she comes across as... loose, for lack of a better term. Usually her opinions stand out and it can be tough for me to get inside of her head; I think we just think differently. Personally I always think she looks scummier when she's town and townier when she's scum. Lol.

MacDougall -- (homesite: RateYourMusic) -- One of the most aggressive players I've ever known generally, but his range is immense. I've seen him post a ton, barely any, and everywhere in between, and his tone can exhibit the range as well. When he's town, his early game gut is INSANE. When he's scum, master of manipulation. I always fear going up against him when either alignment, but he's a really really great player to team with if you're both town.

Marmot -- (homesite: The Syndicate) -- The harbinger of chaos! Lol. Just kidding, sort of. Marmot is a really great guy. He's a very intriguing combination of styles -- Jekyll and Hyde almost. On the one hand, he can be super WIFOMy, random, chaotic, pokey, etc. On the other, he can be an analytical dynamite. And anywhere in between. Better at the game than he thinks he is, especially late in the game he can become clutch once he has data to analyze. Good sense of humor as well.

M Plus 7 -- Yours truly, the master of WIM, the Sockian slayer of scum, the relentless chearleader. Yeah. I'm town this game. That's all you need to know. We will win this game.

RobotNerd277 -- (homesite: MIT Mafia) -- Played with Robot during my qualifier Champs game; we were both town. They were really great! I think in that game Robot seemed both analytical but also very willing to consider new avenues of suspicion or reasons to town read players with ease in a way that initially struck me as rather organic. It was like... reassessy and against thread consensus often in a way that I think many other players can't quite capture. I'm not exactly sure how they would play as scum.

Russtifinko -- (homesite: The Syndicate) -- IRL friend of mine from high school! I sadly haven't played online mafia with him in forever, but as such I am sooo excited to be playing with him again here! Just played IRL mafia with him recently though! He is definitely insightful and analytical, but not in the sense that someone like Jay is methodically chugging out ISOs. Instead Russtifinko probably tends to be a lower post-count player, but in no means does it mean he won't bring some high-quality reads if he is town and engaged. Rather he tends to throw in the occasional wall sort of post with some unconventional reads on as many players as possible. I think... man, it's just been so long, but as town v. scum... I would say the main difference in his alignment is his tone combined with voting patterns maybe. Again look for an agenda here too. A very nice guy regardless of alignment, but maybe even nicer as scum!

sprityo -- (homesite: Chocolate Pi) -- I love this guy. I'd say he's unfortunately the most low-hanging fruit potential out of anyone here if he's town, because he has such a unique way of thinking, can be a lower poster depending on how much available time he has, and it can take him a little while to get grounded. But his contributions are definitely solid. Similarly to Luna, maybe apply a 'if they seem scummy they just might be LHF town' perspective here. I expect him to be more loose and reassessy as town, while he's more analytical as scum maybe.

Tsaiah -- (homesite: Flight Rising) -- This is you! (Since I'm making this post at your request.) I'll still say stuff though so other people can read it! Lol. Funnily enough, despite how well I feel I know Tsaiah, we technically haven't played a full game together; the hydra game and the game on DLP both came at a bad time for both of us, but especially her. She and I have talked a ton about game strategy; she relentlessly spectated both of my qualifier and WC1 Champs games. Our minds work very similarly. I expect to mindmeld with her and be able to genuinely understand where she's coming from as town. A good mix of light-hearted and fluffy, insightful/analytical, and gut-based reader I would say. If she's scum, she might more so struggle to genuinely scumhunt and become too fluffy, so watch out for that.

Turnip Head -- (homesite: Lostpedia/The Piano) -- This guy started at Lostpedia about a year before me, and he was whether he knows or not, actually my first like "mafia idol". I just loved the way this guy plays the game. He's smart, funny, and insightful. He has a really incredible range as well; I'd actually say I've seen this guy play a larger range of playstyles than... maybe anyone I've ever known. Back then when I first started playing mafia he tended to play more analytically and was generally a thread leader of content. Nowadays he plays a lot more loose and gut-based with more shitposting, but still will throw out questions and observations when he feels they're warranted. I think sometimes he plays his cards really close to his chest; I'm tempted to say this is a slight towntell but I really am not sure. If he's town, he's really good at finding other town in his soul that everyone else is scumreading, I feel. Definitely a candidate for best sense of humor among this playerlist, which says a lot. Watch out, aby.

@Tsaiah, this is for you. Anyone else who wants it too can gladly have it. But take it as the random musings of a madman. Madsock. Whatever.

I hope none of you get offended at what I did or didn't say. This also by no means is intended to be comprehensive. Rather I tried to keep it rather succinct! Lol. I really do love you guys, and I could not be more excited to be playing this game with every one of you.

Thanks MP! This is pretty helpful to know!

[sprityo]

I don’t care if it’s the not playing option. I’m picking ESports

Also baseball is ok I guess

[Lunalee]

Looking forward to playing this game and getting to know the newer folks better! Also, does anyone care to explain what "WIM" stands for?

[sprityo]

So forewarning as I read these first 5 pages. I have no clue how to play, the rules don’t reslly make sense to me, and I hope this isn’t like The Genius where I get fucked over by [mention]DharmaHelper[/mention]

[sprityo]

Yeah, Alien and aby just played in the Champs wild card game with me.

Robot and Alien played my Champs qualifier game.

Tsaiah stalked us all.

MP is town cause he won’t shut up

Ever
