Re: The Wire Mafia
I do not love this post and I'm not sure I follow it either. The bulk of it seems to be focused on why the Root Vegetable is suspicious of boo, but this is all framed around a suspicion against DDL. TH's focus from this post on is DDL. I strongly disagree with that vote.Turnip Head wrote: ↑Mon Dec 16, 2019 10:33 am Okay but now I suspect DDL for having such an in-depth take on it. I still don't like that boo's "deal" looks so much like trying to get Rej out of a tight spot in a double lynch. The double lynch aspect of it contributes to what irks me. Why would a townie boo be so invested in who someone else voted for when two people are going to be lynched? Boo already had his man with TSP, but he got greedy and wanted to keep rej safe too.
[mention]Turnip Head[/mention] could you clarify your reads on boo and DDL here? What are the points against each of them, and why is DDL a better lynch than boo?

Re: The Wire Mafia
i feel like speedchuck's attack was more genuine than i remember feeling about it at the time of his question. i just hated how he asked him is that sarcasm? then said "because it feels like sarcasm to me"Sloonei wrote: ↑Mon Dec 16, 2019 7:07 pmI do not follow.

Re: The Wire Mafia
Admittedly, it was not a trap for Rej. I was only trying to figure out if he was townreading or scumreading, because the post was in a grey area.dunya wrote: ↑Mon Dec 16, 2019 7:11 pmi feel like speedchuck's attack was more genuine than i remember feeling about it at the time of his question. i just hated how he asked him is that sarcasm? then said "because it feels like sarcasm to me"Sloonei wrote: ↑Mon Dec 16, 2019 7:07 pmI do not follow.

Re: The Wire Mafia
I suppose so. But rej didn't say it was sarcasm, so the conversation didn't end and we got what we got out of it.

Re: The Wire Mafia
i'm just saying for someone who has a long history of asking questions and hating anyone who answers the question for the person or asks him why he asked that question (see speed history), i found it peculiar that speed asked a question and semi answered it himself in one post if he was trying to get a scum lean on someone.Sloonei wrote: ↑Mon Dec 16, 2019 7:14 pmI suppose so.

Re: The Wire Mafia
Oh well, I townread sigh anywaySloonei wrote: ↑Mon Dec 16, 2019 5:40 pmSoft shade thrown at sig. Gut instinct is to say this is a good look for sig, but not enough here to get a strong read. I could see it as distancing as well. The exchange continue in a similar manner. It definitely looks manufactured, but I am not able to gauge whether or not sig is part of the manufacturing process as well. His response is a literal shrug.Rej wrote: ↑Sun Dec 08, 2019 7:53 pmthe way you imply he third parties being survivorish is worrying mesig wrote: ↑Sun Dec 08, 2019 4:21 pmI could see that, I don't recall ever playing a Nova game though which does make it a bit more murky.
I'd say 3-4 mafia and two third parties probably with survivorish roles, I don't think the game could support a SK given how small it is and there being role reveals. It's also possible one of the third parties is a mechanism against role claiming, if they're not I'd be wary of the mafia having a role that could punish a player for revealing info/claiming.
I note it down

So like. Players in this game are probably wolves?sig wrote: ↑Mon Dec 16, 2019 6:49 pm Based off of Rej alone: Sloonie, Jack and Speed would be 3 to pursue.
Ignoring Rej: Creature, LC, Speed, and Collins. I don't remember why I voted for him, but since I did I'll throw that down.
Combo of both in order of whom I'd lynch: Creature, Speed, LC then Sloonie.
DDL is probably my tin foil mafia read right now.

Why were we even celebrating Rej's role death?Dragon D. Luffy wrote: ↑Mon Dec 16, 2019 5:42 pm I also have some heavy doubts on whether Rej's role was actually the strongest.
I mean, this is nova we are talking about. He wasn't raised on Mafia Scum. He was raised on sites where roles with 10+ abilities are common. I don't know if he likes writing games with powerful roles, but he certainly is used to them.

I've figured it out.
There is a post from you in the staff forum saying you think Creature is Cooler, whom you had just played with.
Later on you learn CReature is not actually Cooler.

Re: The Wire Mafia
sig and jack are probably the two i'm having the most trouble reading this game, all things considered. The other players I lack definitive reads on are that way for other reasons: nanook is new to me and was goofy for two days. Creature is Creature. TH's player slot was empty for a long time. But sig and jack have posted regularly from the beginning and I lack a firm read on each of them.
