The Polka Heist [GAME OVER]

[Long Con]

It's fine. Sorry for being a bit dramatic too.

I mean, what is a mafia game without some drama? =p

---

My difficulty with the game right now is that I see no real way of reading Mac, Sorsha or LC. I cry evertim.

I'm sorry about that. I'll try to try to get better caught up and involved.

[TonyStarkPrime]

Tony, why are you going specifically after the Fearsome Four? Do you agree with Epi that there's likely a baddie among them?

I don't really want to go after them. They all came together to lynch a baddie Day 1, in hot-potato fashion. That's good enough for me to want to look elsewhere for the next lynch.

red= this question tells me what I'm doing. I don't like that considering I don't think it's a fair assumption to make.
orange= this question answers the previous question. Why ask both questions?
green= this is telling me why my answer to the questions are insufficient.

The questions are what's throwing me off here. Word choice analysis of the second half throws me off, particularly the "really" and the "for me", but word choice analysis is notably bad so no guarantees. Overall, I just don't like it.

[Dragon D. Luffy]

Never mind that lynching inactives is never entirely bad and the fact we are winning the game means we have some spare days to test things like that.

[Dragon D. Luffy]

Yeah I agree LC sounds manipulative in that post.

[Long Con]

Yeah I agree LC sounds manipulative in that post.

I don't see it.

so WIFOM me this... does scum Mac ever make a drive by attack on Dom without any support?

Sure, I don't see why not.

[TonyStarkPrime]

If I recall he did that in Fallout after being converted.

[Epignosis]

Yes, I know I'm on page 7. Leave me a lone.

Page numbers just a construct.

Does anyone have any reads? I don't.

I do.

Spoiler: show

2020 is the last year of the second decade of this century.

staking my claim here that epi is a 3p that increases in power the more people he can get to start talking about the end/start of the decade

There was a role very similar to this in the first Game of Champions. insertnamehere had it. He was an independent who increased in ability every time someone said his name.

I said his name 25 times in a row and he got everything in his arsenal.

Good times.

[Epignosis]

Pausing at page 11. I agree on the surface Sloonei, Dyslexicon, Quin, and timmer look like genuine civilians.

You wanna try or nah?

[TonyStarkPrime]

If I say that the Lions have a better record than the Pats this decade will Epi come yell at me?

[Epignosis]

No.

My issue is more nuanced than that. It has more to do with the way people can't count and then make a big to do about their collective mathematical errors.

[Michelle]

catching up with a speed of a tortoise sorry for that...

@bimbo won't you play mafia with me?

I like this ping for my slot. Looks good. But why wasn't the other inactive pinged too? just asking

I dont think it's weird I'm talking about who I won't lynch and i said I'd not lynch inactive players. If we didn't have subs I'd be considering it right now since I've got no strong reads.

Sigh

Is this a possible reaction for a team mate?

Do we really need strong reads?

I'd say no because this next post it's obvious antitown and contradicts Sig

Looking good for Sloonei and Sig until now.

btw Sig i saw your answer I thought you played in the last year, my first game was in january 2019 at MU and I don't know you :-)

[Michelle]

Sloonei, you wanna throw down or be bffs this game? I'm good for either as long as you rub my inner thigh with a fish corpse.

b u d d y i n g

shading?

Yeah, it's a good idea to make players not play the game

when are you going to start playing the game?

this belongs to the scum chat isn't it?

Fos for Quinn based on these 2 posts

No.

My issue is more nuanced than that. It has more to do with the way people can't count and then make a big to do about their collective mathematical errors.

we have any definitions of numerical values. What we often think of as a decade, yes, is only 9 years because there was no year zero. A cultural decade, yes, lasts 9 years. And pedantry on the subject only serves to entrench those opinions further.

I wish the emoji could roll.

Geez...i forgot to read the Eod/Sod

[Epignosis]

I'm looking forward to arguing about this again in ten years.

Or is it nine?

And is it a sandwich?

It’s too quiet

[TonyStarkPrime]

6 hours til EOD, everyone with 1 vote, thread hasn’t developed at all day 2

[TonyStarkPrime]

Let’s get this thing moving.


Epi: have you finished reading?
Sloonei: do you think a reasonable POE exists at this stage?
Dys: ditto Sloonei
Timmer: who do you think is scum?
Dom: Why is Mac voting for you?
LC: why shouldn’t I vote for you?
Wilgy: why can I not remember anything you’ve said this game?
DDL: convince me to vote for Mac
Mac: say hi
Sig: give me a narrative about who’s bad and why it makes sense.

[TonyStarkPrime]

If I missed you answer Sig’s question

[Sloonei]

Let’s get this thing moving.


Epi: have you finished reading?
Sloonei: do you think a reasonable POE exists at this stage?
Dys: ditto Sloonei
Timmer: who do you think is scum?
Dom: Why is Mac voting for you?
LC: why shouldn’t I vote for you?
Wilgy: why can I not remember anything you’ve said this game?
DDL: convince me to vote for Mac
Mac: say hi
Sig: give me a narrative about who’s bad and why it makes sense.

Sig and timmer would be the first people I’d remove from my POE. Dizzy wouldn’t be far behind. After that I’d probably me most inclined to remove Epi. I don’t think you or LC are scum at this point, but that’s not a strong enough feeling to remove you from the list.

So I guess my POE is you, LC, wilgy, DDL, Mac, Dom, Sorsha, and Michelle. For two bad spots (I assume) that’s a big list.

I’ll note that I liked Michelle’s entry into the game well enough. I also feel mildly good about wilgy. Add you and LC to the list of feel-goodies and I’m looking mostly at DDL, Dom, Mac, and Sorsha. If that’s the POE, we’re in good shape. But that list is not locked in place.

This seems like a better question for Mac.

[Dyslexicon]

Ohai. I'm like super sick right now. I'll be catching up slowly.

[Dyslexicon]

I am confused why Sloonei thinks DDL is scum. I disagree witht his read.

Why is Tony voting Wilgy? I thought he had points against LC, that LC shrugged at.
Why is Dom voting LC? Is it because of said points?

I get next to no impression from Mac, Dom and LC. No reason not to lynch them.

I still think Tony is scum. At least he's trying to move things along.
You know what I really want. A link or reference to Tony's last scum game. Tony or anyone?

Where did Wilgy go?

And Sig, you can create that narrative yourself or read in the thread for those who already exists.

Timmer, Epi, who should we lynch?

I'm ok with Michelle.

Because literally why not.

sloonei please care
about me

You couldn't stop me if you tried.

Dom, I've been wrong about you in a few games recently, I think. Have I been right about you in any?

I struggle to see a civ LC writing this lol

Then give me another case.

I'm so confused by this. Like, in a meta game way. Is scum hunting not normal here? I know I've seen it before. I'm so obvious town that it's laughable. I feel I'm in a video game and suddenly the controller turns into one of those go right when press left kind of thing.

I don't feel that way about you at all.
I see you as a manipulative person in this game.

Ok.

I literally had the same question about that post on D1 and you scalded me for it implying I was scum for questioning it.

W T F.

Apart from that, I agree. That post from LC stood out to me too.

[Sloonei]

What makes Dyslexicon manipulative here, and why is that manipulation bad?

[Dyslexicon]

Reading over Tony's previous scum games, it's hard for me to see a lot of difference from how I remember his town play. Except maybe volume. I think he posts more as town? Or that's what I remember. But this game most players have low volume. He didn't shy away from acting with his teammates. Other than that I didn't really get much out of it but oh well.

Question: Does scum generally put in more effort than town on this site? Cause Tony said that in one of those games.

It depends on who is one what side.

I wouldn’t say there’s a site-wide meta for effort levels by alignment. It varies from game to game and player to player, but in general I think it’s even. Tony also comes from another site and hasn’t played a ton of games here yet.
