I've seen a few things directed my way; I may or may not have time this morning to get to responding to them before work.

I'm a bit taken aback no one is seeing EoD as I did. With under 10 mins to go there was a sudden push of votes that nearly prevented Drago (the Godfather) from being lynched. The three votes that essentially nearly prevented a scum being lynched were Nova, Eva, and TSP. I don't understand how there's not a scum in there.

What you want me to be performatively pro-town so that I can gain your favour to avoid being lynched?

I'm gonna hate this game until we're allowed to play again, and maybe even still then, but still.

If you don't mind me flipping town you're welcome to excise me from this game

oh wait, it's hard to call for the votes for that when you can't even say who you want to lunch.

Here, have an anime gif to reflect this agony

I would like to remind everyone that if you ever have frustrations you’d like to air beyond the scope of standard Mafia play, especially with the hosting, you may send a PM to our Moderator on Duty: [mention]speedchuck[/mention]. We said this would be an unorthodox game. I have never run and will never run a bastard game. For those who do not understand or otherwise are bothered by the unique rules of this thread, please at least know that both Sloonei and I are experienced hosts. We care deeply about balance and fairness, and do not make decisions about rules willy nilly for our own amusement. These are the circumstances for a reason! If you have any questions or concerns, you should always feel free to ask us privately. :)

Please don’t interact with this post. I would prefer to let the game develop entirely without me!

Okay but my dude that would involve me reading the game.

Something I literally cannot do because the entire day 1 thread has been removed from my access.

Unless you think something alignment relevant has been said in these 9 pages of torture.

Pretty sure you're allowed to say if someone is town.

In fact, I'm pretty sure you're allowed to say 'I think Epi is suspicious because of x, y, z' - as long as you don't say anything along the lines of '...and I am likely to vote for him.'

Anyway Epi's posts are performative, not informative and they're designed to seep into the nature of people's want for content.

It's IIoA. They say many words, but not much in the end.

More than that, they're doing the Bullets for Bullets tactic I outlined in my scum guide. It feels like the goal of the posts is to be unreadably long and make you skim and say generally "agreeable" things people can't exactly contest without strictly committing anywhere.

Voted many hours before EoD – only reason I could see was in a later readslist: “Eh. Would lynch. (Great start, right?)”
Was around at EoD and barely engaged with the Drago/112 wagons – didn’t even vote Drago to self-preserve when he was briefly the counter-wagon to Drago

Conclusion: Suspicious
As far as I remember, my vote went there for no real reason at all. Reasons developed later. One big one for me was that 112 voted for me based on something he said- not something I said- and framed it as though it made me guilty. That's trash. That's trying to keep his hands clean voting for someone nobody was really talking about. Don't believe me? 112 ended up on Trustworthy Liberal- someone nobody was really talking about.

Bear in mind that if I'm bad, I am not letting my godfather get lynched Day 1. I know that might not mean anything to you since you do not know me, but when I am on a mafia team, I try to make optimal, coordinated decisions and not drop the ball. Letting your godfather get lynched Day 1 is arguably the most sub-optimal thing you can do.

If 112 is Dragomir's teammate, it makes all the sense in the world to let himself (112) get lynched. That would preserve the godfather. 112 didn't have the thread presence to push anybody else, couldn't vote for himself (and maintain any credibility), and if he voted for Dragomir late, he would be surrendering his godfather with less hope that he could be spared. I wonder if 112's hands were tied.
Thank you for the response, and I'm fine with your reasoning for voting 112. And obviously I agree with the rationale around preventing a Godfather lynch - hence why I'm so concerned about the last minute votes for 112 that smell like an attempt to save Drago. (Evenstar and Nova, that is.)

Re: third paragraph - I don't recall 112 being around at EoD, and their own wagon sprung up relatively quickly towards the end (it was floating around 2-3 votes, iirc, but only became a serious counter-wagon in the final, eh, 20-30 minutes or so). So I don't think there's much we can read into someone simply not being present.

radishes my main issue with your EOD analysis is that you seem to be taking it for granted that scum thought saving dragomir would be a longterm good plan and worth conspicuously saving despite his apparently horrible standing which would imply he wouldnt last more than 2 more phases imo

seems like an agendaed assumption

I don't disagree. And as for the content of them, I haven't read each of Epi's posts, but of the ones I did, I agreed with a couple of his conclusions, but not strongly so; and I disagreed with a couple and wasn't sure how he arrived at his conclusions.

LLD - if you get a chance can you read what Epi said about Eva? I felt that one particularly was lacking, but admittedly I'm beginning to hone in on Eva as a potential scum based on her last-minute vote that nearly saved Godfather-Drago from being lynched.

The 112 counterwagon was a valid one, though - if 112 ended up lynched and flipped town, no one would point the finger at any one voter. 112 has been a viable scum candidate and we'd all shrug and move on.

As for Drago, there are plenty of valuable scum roles in the game, but surely the Godfather would be one worth saving if there's a chance?

I just don't see a scum attempt to prevent Drago's lynch as a risky move - if it had worked. And it nearly did. It was literally the last two minutes that Hyena and Long Con (I think) voted to lynch Drago.

seems like an agendaed assumption
The 112 counterwagon was a valid one, though - if 112 ended up lynched and flipped town, no one would point the finger at any one voter. 112 has been a viable scum candidate and we'd all shrug and move on.

As for Drago, there are plenty of valuable scum roles in the game, but surely the Godfather would be one worth saving if there's a chance?

I just don't see a scum attempt to prevent Drago's lynch as a risky move - if it had worked. And it nearly did. It was literally the last two minutes that Hyena and Long Con (I think) voted to lynch Drago.
idk i dont consider godfather particularly strong, especially in a setup where investigatives cant claim. but even outside of that, ive always considered godfathers low avg utility but with high variance/swinginess

if theres scum KP thatd be more valuable; i could imagine some other scum actions being more valuable but idk what the roles look like in this game at all

but the main point stands that

if 112 is scum, they have better standing than drago, and itd be better to let drago die imo, regardless of roles

if 112 is town, people would look at drago immediately because people would resolve the cw

i dont see godfather being particularly worth saving there or any reason to conspicuously save drago at all

itd be a pretty noob move to want to throw evenstar, one of the tryhardest scum if scum, on 112 just to try to save drago like that

i mean ive seen it happen and i guess evenstar might be thinking on level 2 like looking bad looks good there because of people like me

but youre on level 1 and idk i dont rly buy level 1 evenstar saving drago and i think evenstar is town for other reasons

I'm a bit taken aback no one is seeing EoD as I did. With under 10 mins to go there was a sudden push of votes that nearly prevented Drago (the Godfather) from being lynched. The three votes that essentially nearly prevented a scum being lynched were Nova, Eva, and TSP. I don't understand how there's not a scum in there.
Oh there absolutely is, possibly even 2, I am just fairly certain that TSP is the guaranteed one. My ideal lynches today are (Nova, Dom, and probably Quin + the Rej replacement) with an heavy emphasis on one half of this group)

if we think at gidfather's role as not being so important like Iaafr says then he was maybe bussed, and so we have to tinfoil later in the game his wagon. I would go for agenda-y players before this.

Based on Drago voting Mac i don't know if we can clear him and put him as lock town.

Maybe the godfather has a back up as green peek so Drago played bad on purpose.

I would take more notes too if i knew we cannot see the day 1 anymore, my notes are all until post 900 and after i gave up from lack of time.

im replacing dom in my list with pawn maybe

because i feel like pawn shouldve reacted to that lld read of epi by now

and the lld read of epi is clearly counterfactual to me, there are a lot of individual thoughts that dont spell out the work but make sense

not much iioa, he has takes on almost everything and its clear when he hedges and the hedges feel natural too

none of his cases are unreadably long, if anything they're designed to be pretty readable

Well for starters I laugh at the idea that the posts were unreadably long and designed to skim when they barely break 2 paragraphs total for the longest ones.

Now the question here is if they actually fall under informative or not. And I know you're going to call me a fence sitter again but I'm conflicted for that aspect.

He has some genuinely good insights in some of the posts, but oftentimes he is posting one to two word answers on if he agree with a post or not without ever explaining why he thinks this. So leaves the thought process blank and let's people just think up a reason and let's our imagination do the work for him as to why he feels this way.

Some of this could absolutely be the clear laziness he felt in some of the later ones showing up, but it's honestly semi-consistent as I am reading through them all.

I town lean read him regardless of this analysis, but in regards to LLD's assertion I think one is flat out wrong and the other one is very much one that depends on perspective. Since it feels like very little to me but I am also a heavy wall poster when I am doing proper analysis so I have a self admitted bias on this front.

While the flat out wrong section is a small ding against LLD imo.

Sorry about the delay in writing the lld response and the MR one.

Got kinda distracted talking politics with a friend in texts for awhile and didn't really check the thread while I was doing so.
