Mac is quite capable of accusing two others of being opposite-team mafiosos while being on one of the mafia teams himself. Assuming he's Indy because of that doesn't strike me as a slam-dunk observation; I think it's more likely that he's mafia. Doesn't totally strike me as Civ, but Mac is an aggressive player, so maybe.Ultra wrote: ↑Sat May 18, 2019 12:10 pmI'll keep this in mind but I also put very little stake in someone else's meta knowledge on another playerSloonei wrote: ↑Sat May 18, 2019 12:04 pmI once again do not want to dismiss your read off hand, but I feel the need to add context: this is all standard Mac behavior.

But in addition the "You're mafia, he's mafia", comes off as a mindset slip. Because he's not mafia.
Because 90% of the time with meta, players are making blanket observations anyway and not catching potential anomalies, and characterizing average play. So if there was a slip it wouldn't make a difference.

Mac is probably my second most confident town read at this point. I say this as someone who can never read macdougall.

I thought he was saying that she actually slipped there, wasn't thinking tone read but thanks for the clear up.Long Con wrote: ↑Sat May 18, 2019 1:16 pmThis is suspicious stuff from Dragomir. First of all, just because Sloon said that a phony tone could "slip into her posts", that's a far cry from her actually slipping in some way. It's a tone read, not a slip. Is this a cultural misunderstanding of the ways to use the word "slip"? Comes off as hamfisted deliberate misunderstanding, and, coupled with a possible TMI defense of nutella, it's suspicious.Dragomir wrote: ↑Sat May 18, 2019 12:40 pmDon't buy her subconsciously slipping like that.

There is no motivation here. The accusation here is that her tone could have been false. That’s not something she would consciously plot out, it’s just something that would slip into her posts by accident.
Sometimes mafia make mistakes. Sometimes they are not authentic. I try to catch them being not authentic. That is what I accused nutella of.

Re: Arrowverse Mafia - Day 0
Enh, your recent Civ-read of her to Sloon, which is pretty unsupported... that opinion was bolstered by your part in Slipgate, but if you truly misunderstood Sloonei's post then I can back-burner it for now.Dragomir wrote: ↑Sat May 18, 2019 1:25 pmI thought he was saying that she actually slipped there, wasn't thinking tone read but thanks for the clear up.Long Con wrote: ↑Sat May 18, 2019 1:16 pmThis is suspicious stuff from Dragomir.

Re: Arrowverse Mafia - Day 0
I am trying to move beyond the surface level with these questions. I'm asking so that we can establish more solid ground on which to read these players. You obviously don't need to care about what I'm doing, but I'm hoping that we can draw out real substantiated reasons for reading players. The earlier we accomplish that, the better off we'll be later.Dragomir wrote: ↑Sat May 18, 2019 1:27 pmThey sound good and I can see how they're thinking which I'm also liking. I don't really have a more in-depth reason for it mate. It's only surface level here my dude.

Let's start with the players you know best: what do you think of Epi, nutella, juliets, and me so far?sabie12 wrote: ↑Sat May 18, 2019 7:21 am I can see both sides of the argument on gth reads. I always end up not being around when they happen so I always miss it. This early I kinda struggle to have any good reads on anyone so it's hard to decide that quickly. At the same time I also get slooneis point that it gets a conversation going and moves things in a direction. From what I've seen slooneis usual goal is to try to post a lot and get people talking in the beginning of the game.

I believe he would say such a thing, as mafia, in order to get the reaction that you had, that he had a "mindset slip". That is the level of craftiness I expect from Mac.

Re: Arrowverse Mafia - Day 0
I’m going to be in and out this afternoon, but I’ll be making a few posts throughout the day. I now have something to say.
I’m going to start with talking about the old school set-up. No, we can’t claim, we can’t info dump. But we can do the use-to-be obligatory town statement.
There are no visible lie detectors in the roles, but we do have Harrison. He has a secret, which could be a lie detector. He also sends out inventions to players, maybe one of the inventions is a polygraph machine. Only Harrison would know this for certain, but I’m not going to overlook the possibility. So this is my townie statement. I am town.
People are not obligated to do this. But since we goin old school here, I thought maybe some of the players who haven’t played a game like this, might be interested in knowing it used to be a thing.
I’m leaving for awhile, but when I get back, I’ll discuss a few pings.

Re: Arrowverse Mafia - Day 0
For the record, I’m fairly certain I remember Mac doing exactly what LC and nutella are suggesting in A World Asunder. That was another multiball game, Mac was scum, LC was co-host. So there’s precedent and substance to his suspicion here.
I still would lean town on Mac here.

Assuming he's Indy because of that doesn't strike me as a slam-dunk observation; I think it's more likely that he's mafia. Doesn't totally strike me as Civ, but Mac is an aggressive player, so maybe.Ultra wrote: ↑Sat May 18, 2019 12:10 pmI'll keep this in mind but I also put very little stake in someone else's meta knowledge on another playerSloonei wrote: ↑Sat May 18, 2019 12:04 pmI once again do not want to dismiss your read off hand, but I feel the need to add context: this is all standard Mac behavior. If I was going to accuse him of anything, it’s that he’s following his usual meta too closely.Ultra wrote: ↑Sat May 18, 2019 12:02 pm
Mac's characteristic lack of restraint in accusing everyone as scum fits with the perspective of an Indi, since he could be on the mark but can afford collateral damage. SK's aggressively hunting early is somewhat of a tell in normal set ups, and I think that would be moreso the case here.
But in addition the "You're mafia, he's mafia", comes off as a mindset slip. Because he's not mafia.
Because 90% of the time with meta, players are making blanket observations anyway and not catching potential anomalies, and characterizing average play. So if there was a slip it wouldn't make a difference.But I'm Long Con.
I believe he would say such a thing, as mafia, in order to get the reaction that you had, that he had a "mindset slip". That is the level of craftiness I expect from Mac.

I know you explained it's your style but your posts like this give me such strong vibes of aloofness/detachment from the thread or feigned ignorance or just like.... turning suspicions back as "why" questions without putting in any effort to contribute content that might actually be productive, like you're avoiding accountability but also avoiding doing anything else.Matahari wrote: ↑Sat May 18, 2019 1:57 amI don’t know why I’m your top suspect.

Are you trying to say that because the suggestion makes no sense and I thought your iso made no sense?

Re: Arrowverse Mafia - Day 0
No.
Part of your accusation against me was that I accused nutella to try to impress others/make myself look good/potentially establish myself as "deepwolf", if I am understanding you correctly. These are your words.
Then MafiaMenace suggests the possibility of another player being "deepwolf", and these are your words:
You seemed to be accusing me of deepwolfing on Day 0, but then you cast doubt on MafiaMenace for suggesting the possibility of the same characteristics in a different player.
