Re: Persona 5 Mafia [Day 1]
I'm looking at TSP's play in Fallout (he was mafia and played well -- he was only lynched with behind-the-scenes Sloonei heroics) and comparing it to this one, exclusively for pre-Night 1 content.
Fallout
Persona 5
First look: general activity level by post rate.
Fallout - 28 posts in 48 hours - avg 0.59 posts per hour
Persona 5 - 99 posts in 78.5 hours - avg 1.26 posts per hour
His activity rate in this game is better than double that of Fallout. Cool.
Second look: response to suspicion/criticism
Fallout
Persona 5
Not dramatic
Not dramatic
Could be called dramatic, but I don't really feel that
Not dramatic
It's a small sample size. For whatever it's worth though, I think it's to Tony's credit.
Third look: reads
Fallout
Throws out blank town read on Epi
Generic prod of Long Con with vote
Generic prod of BWT with vote
Descriptive but also non-concrete suspicion of teammate sabie
Hops on Epi's suspicion of sabie / vague gripe with LC
Synopsis: Tony's reads were empty throughout the early game here except when he was talking about his teammate.
Persona 5
Avoidant of nutella/JJJ spat, gut town on both
Orange on Drago and Jack for heaping on early suspicion of me
GTH scum on Epi
Said Rej willfully misinterpreted him
More complete reads list
Reiterated suspicion of nutella and Dragomir
Accuses nutella of parroting Mac's sprityo suspicion
GTH reads -- only change I note from previous reads is Rej (slight town to scum)
Synopsis: Tony casts a considerably wider net in this early game. His reads are still a bit blank at times, but they aren't token prods. It isn't hard to find a concrete reason for most of it.
I think these differences are important and work in Tony's favor.
~~~
Net positive for Tony. I welcome feedback. I grant that much of this is circumstantial and two different games cannot be compared with perfect congruency. We do our best.

Re: Persona 5 Mafia [Day 1]
It is. And meta isn't the most reliable method in the world anyway.
I just don't feel right with a TSP lynch right now, and I'm struggling to reconcile it. I have suspicion and I think it's "logical", but my gut isn't agreeing with that logic.

Re: Persona 5 Mafia [Day 1]
I'll take this opportunity to soapbox another Strategy Talk that nobody cares about. This is not relevant to reads in this game, so people can skip if they don't care.
Meta reads are valuable. They are one of many tools in the toolbelt of a civilian, and civilians are best advised to use the tools in their toolbelts. However, there are two primary ways in which meta reads typically appear. I think one of them is much preferable to the other.
1. People develop general perceptions of each other across multiple games. They make general reads on the basis of those general perceptions.
2. People draw direct comparisons between games with respect to some specific prompt, idea, or investigation. They make specific reads on the basis of those comparisons.
2 > 1
1 can work sometimes, sure, but I think it's usually crap. We (the general We) just aren't very good at developing accurate perceptions of each other, even with a great deal of experience. We pigeon hole one another into relatively tiny behavioral spaces, and anything outside that space then becomes cause for concern. It's wrong often enough that it may not be any better than rolling the dice. I believe 1's best applications are exploratory -- they can help to develop a read, but if they drive a final vote then it's probably a bad idea. 2 provides a much more precise notion of what a behavior may look like under some specific circumstance, and it is informed in a substantive, visible way.
Okay soapbox over.

Re: Persona 5 Mafia [Day 1]
Hmm. I like that. Thanks for the soapbox.
Re: Persona 5 Mafia [Day 1]
just woke up damn
so hunching back to the first wagon:
Mac got voted by Epignosis, followed by Sprityo and JJJ
Here is the tinfoil to it:
Scum wants to get Sprityo mislynched based on Macs agression towards them and the weak townreads they received.
Epignosis is the wolf who votes his wolfmate Mac in order to see if Sprityo or others go alongside it. This only works because Mac received some townreads from "towncore"-side.
JJJ makes the wagon stronger which allows Epig the freedome to have another wagon going on and increase the chances of mislynches.
Because ideally for scum they can get Sprityo mislynched for a weak D0 or keep their options open to mislynch JJJ or potentially me, Drago, TSP.
This works also if Mac is town, but it works better when Mac is Epigs wolf partner, because Mac voted Sprityo and thus they kept the option open for mislynching Sprityo.
So every mislynch candidate here receives townreads from me for now, based on the wagon analysis. JJJ can also be a proactive town. Epignosis has the most suspicious wagon, that profits scum the most in the small setup. Just some deep insights, combined with the point that Epignosis has a hard time receiving town reads from others.
let me catch up, but my vote will be on Epignosis.
I am still at page 13, but I think not much will change from my POV.

Re: Persona 5 Mafia [Day 1]
But I think my thoughts are original, so this is a conflict of interests my man.
Dragomir wrote: ↑Sat Sep 14, 2019 11:37 pmIn a way, yes. I don't recall his scum play very well, only his town play and him being a politician fits the meta.

Again I am trying to be original, weren't I the first one here to go after Epignosis without pre conflict? xD but yeah as uninformed, I tend to interact with those that town/scum read me and observe those that are out of interaction.
With this and combined with my previous reads I feel like creature is town and not mislynch or lynch worthy. Guy tries to fiddle back into game.

I go back to the theory that Epignosis is scum and trying to make me look bad should rather be an inside job by scum. Atleast I maintained to be discussion topic for some parts of the previous pages and that is good, because it shows that my previous posts had effect.
Glad I can vote Epignosis without it to account as OMGUS vote, all my suspiciouns since D0 can be proven in this single vote:

Re: Persona 5 Mafia [Day 1]
I’m not clear on precisely what makes Epignosis your suspect. You speak broadly of the game state and how a mafia Epi might apply in that game state. That doesn’t tell me much though about why “mafia Epi” is your focus instead of something else (like “town Epi” or “mafia JJJ”). Why is he specifically the one that you associate with this theoretical world of generating multiple possible wagons to work with? Why am I not?

I look a bit ahead and try to see how scum could abuse the D0 situation for their advantages and currently epignosis is fitting in the pattern
mafia epignosis is more possible imho, just gonna look out for the second one, if certain dynamics were reflected etc

1 can work sometimes, sure, but I think it's usually crap. We (the general We) just aren't very good at developing accurate perceptions of each other, even with a great deal of experience. We pigeon hole one another into relatively tiny behavioral spaces, and anything outside that space then becomes cause for concern. It's wrong often enough that it may not be any better than rolling the dice. I believe 1's best applications are exploratory -- they can help to develop a read, but if they drive a final vote then it's probably a bad idea. 2 provides a much more precise notion of what a behavior may look like under some specific circumstance, and it is informed in a substantive, visible way.
Okay soapbox over.

Re: Persona 5 Mafia [Day 1]
This wasn’t it but I found this too:
This doesn’t fit when the next piece of your narrative is Epi/Mac w/w
I admit I might also be conflating you with Drago somewhat
Re: Persona 5 Mafia [Day 1]
Why it doesn't fit? The wagon is the most suspicious thing I just said^^TonyStarkPrime wrote: ↑Sun Sep 15, 2019 11:45 amThis wasn’t it but I found this too:

btw going to family dinner now, will reply afterwards
all in all the current wagon on epi is deserved, so we can observe what happens next




Re: Persona 5 Mafia [Day 1]
Not saying ya ain't original, just thought politician is a good fit for you.Rej wrote: ↑Sun Sep 15, 2019 9:45 amBut I think my thoughts are original, so this is a conflict of interests my man.
Dragomir wrote: ↑Sat Sep 14, 2019 11:37 pmIn a way, yes. I don't recall his scum play very well, only his town play and him being a politician fits the meta.![]()
Again I am trying to be original, weren't I the first one here to go after Epignosis without pre conflict? xD but yeah as uninformed, I tend to interact with those that town/scum read me and observe those that are out of interaction.
With this and combined with my previous reads I feel like creature is town and not mislynch or lynch worthy. Guy tries to fiddle back into game.

Re: Persona 5 Mafia [Day 1]
Rej wrote: ↑Sun Sep 15, 2019 9:28 am just woke up damn
so hunching back to the first wagon:
Mac got voted by Epignosis, followed by Sprityo and JJJ
Here is the tinfoil to it:
Scum wants to get Sprityo mislynched based on Macs agression towards them and the weak townreads they received.
Epignosis is the wolf who votes his wolfmate Mac in order to see if Sprityo or others go alongside it. This only works because Mac received some townreads from "towncore"-side.
JJJ makes the wagon stronger which allows Epig the freedome to have another wagon going on and increase the chances of mislynches.
Because ideally for scum they can get Sprityo mislynched for a weak D0 or keep their options open to mislynch JJJ or potentially me, Drago, TSP.
This works also if Mac is town, but it works better when Mac is Epigs wolf partner, because Mac voted Sprityo and thus they kept the option open for mislynching Sprityo.
So every mislynch candidate here receives townreads from me for now, based on the wagon analysis. JJJ can also be a proactive town. Epignosis has the most suspicious wagon, that profits scum the most in the small setup. Just some deep insights, combined with the point that Epignosis has a hard time receiving town reads from others.
let me catch up, but my vote will be on Epignosis.
I am still at page 13, but I think not much will change from my POV.

I don’t know what Nutella is trying to say there.
I’d vote either Tony or Epi over Rej. Easily.
Why do like 6 people suspect Jay but I’m the only one voting him?

I don't like that Epi and Jay are voting for him. I can't decide which of them is bad. Probably not both.
[VOTE: epignosis] aubergine for now.
