Re: Coronavirus Mafia [Night 1]
I quickly caught up, some thoughts:
Wary of Jack. I don't have any idea what to make of him, and I've not really seen him post like this before. The balance of content and jokes and post number is just way off. I know that sounds weird but it'sameta.
It occurred to me reading around the EOD that LC had a bunch of random votes and wagon pushers early... which was exactly the strategy I used with him in a scumgame that just ended. The mafia planned out a bunch of initial busses to look unaligned, and we (Read: LC) won thanks to that. LC is definitely someone to look into tomorrow, as well as anyone who pushed him early.
Even in that case, I think there was scum vote manipulation around the EOD. It would be good if people stated the reasons for their votes and (if they weren't on sig) whether they still believe in their wagons.

Re: Coronavirus Mafia [Night 1]
I don't think we should assume affiliations are tied to roleplaying in any way.

Idk. There should be some sort of theme to the scum team, I'd imagine.

Re: Coronavirus Mafia [Night 1]
[mention]speedchuck[/mention], regarding my reason for voting sig, the first thing was I didn't like sig's last two posts about MP7 and nutella
In the first post about MP he says:
Then he follows that post up with this one about nutella:
All in all the Mp7/nutella posts weighed more heavily in my decision but they weren't the only thing I saw that I didn't like.
I'm afk for awhile, be back this afternoon.
In the first post about MP he says:
Now I don't have a perfect memory of MP's style but one thing that's hard to forget is he is highly emotional. I'm not saying he is definitely not scum this game but this reason for being scummy to me is nonsense.sig wrote: ↑Mon Apr 20, 2020 7:43 pm Though I'm really not feeling MP this game, his reaction to a few votes/some pressure and his AtE seems scummy. He's also falling back on a meta argument rather fast given the circumstances.
I could easily see this as a Mafia MP who's shaking off the scum rust and mad he got caught so fast.
Then he follows that post up with this one about nutella:
I just didn't get this at all. Town makes mistakes about who's scum all the time. Speed said it best:
I also reviewed sig's ISO and noticed something I had not noticed before. Earlier in the game he came in with his first reads list and I initially liked that he did that. He thought speed seemed ok, LC was a bit off which probably meant he was civ, and I seemed like my normal self. Then, without any progression, he posted this later in response to Hyena:speedchuck wrote: ↑Mon Apr 20, 2020 7:55 pmNo.
MP's alignment has no bearing on nutella's. It's like you saying 'If Nutella's town she should know better' at the same time sussing MP in the previous post. If nutella's town then she doesn't know what MP is, and it doesn't make any sense to draw the conclusion you just drew.
Which, incidentally, set up a 2-lynch false dichotomy with a lot of shade and then a shrug to distance yourself from it.
Bad.
He had not commented on any of the three of us between the two posts. I was especially surprised by LC who he had read as civ and now was number 1 most likely to be bad in Hyena's list. I did not like that he offered nothing as to how he got there from his earlier read list.sig wrote: ↑Mon Apr 20, 2020 7:40 pmOut of these most likely to be bad are in order
LC
Speed
Juliet
All in all the Mp7/nutella posts weighed more heavily in my decision but they weren't the only thing I saw that I didn't like.
I'm afk for awhile, be back this afternoon.

Re: Coronavirus Mafia [Night 1]
Probably if you say so.

Re: Coronavirus Mafia [Night 1]
I fully agree with this post--so much that it makes me sort of wary of you.speedchuck wrote: ↑Tue Apr 21, 2020 9:47 am I quickly caught up, some thoughts:

If MP is highly emotional regardless of his affiliation, I rescind my last evening's clearing of him and refer back to tonal impurities I've noticed in his talk at points; he's still on the table. I have a very hard time, again, thinking that a wolf would become so upset in a not-highly-competitive game like this one, but he is gearing up for a Champs run, so that may explain it if he is actually wolfing.
It wouldn't be a bad strategy for him to pick out a bunch of people who he knows are TP and mention them as being towncored with him--along with mentioning maybe one person (if that) who are actually wolfing and try to bring them through with him.
Scum manipulation last night makes sense, but it could be that all our wagons were TP and they let us screw ourselves over into any lynch we wanted at the time because they weren't particularly worried about appearances at that point.

Re: Coronavirus Mafia [Night 1]
Nook is not w/w with either Nutella or MP7. If they were scumbuddies they wouldn't tie the vote - they'd just keep the status quo or find an excuse to join my wagon. There's no more than one wolf in that grouping, and maybe none. (I'm also assuming MP7 and Nute aren't wolfing together in that last minute vote switch situation.)Master Radishes wrote: ↑Tue Apr 21, 2020 8:31 am And just before that moment:

Re: Coronavirus Mafia [Night 1]
Ok, but kill them before me, because no, I didn't try to immediately implement an identical plan. PLUS, those early pushers were weaksauce. Nobody really believed M plus 7 intended to lynch me Day 1 for revenge. When it worked for us, it stood up to Detective Sloonei going back over it with a fine-toothed comb, coming up with the conclusion that the planned suspicion looked more real than the Tony suspicion. This is not that.speedchuck wrote: ↑Tue Apr 21, 2020 9:47 am I quickly caught up, some thoughts:

Re: Coronavirus Mafia [Night 1]
My own role is one that I would immediately assume is an evil role, but I'm a civilian.

Re: Coronavirus Mafia [Night 1]
Sorry- you're right that it's not an open setup. I've confused my terminology. I just mean that roles are claimable whereas in my past experience on this site there was no claiming, which I thought to be typical of the game culture here.NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME wrote: ↑Tue Apr 21, 2020 12:18 pm Why do you keep calling this an open setup, is there a role or character list somewhere that I’m missing?

Re: Coronavirus Mafia [Day 1]
This was a huge moment, and not just because I was high lol. This was an awful look on Hyena, and made me think I had misplaced my trust in him. I think it's possible he's teammates with Nanook and was looking for a reason to justify joining the MR train to save his teammate. Why did he suddenly decide to trust DDL of all people? It made no sense. Hyena explain yourself.nutella wrote: ↑Mon Apr 20, 2020 9:17 pmUh ohhhhhHyena wrote: ↑Mon Apr 20, 2020 8:47 pmOkay, cool.

Re: Coronavirus Mafia [Day 1]
This is right before the above quotes. Would be say this about a scum buddy? Idk *wifom emoji* maybe he has tmi on town!nanook instead. Maybe DDL is his partner, though that would also be a weird interaction. I just get bad feelings about Hyena from those few posts, independently of nanook's alignment. He could have known MR and Nanook would both flip town. There are various possible interpretations but mostly Hyena looks icky around that part of the phase.

I'll ISO Hyena later in the night. I was sussing him a bit to myself but didn't say anything yesterday as I was focused on other people. It does read like a tmi on town!nook now that I'm looking back at it.

Re: Coronavirus Mafia [Day 1]
I also wouldn't put it above Hyena to be bringing up my 'Hyena is tricky' remark as some kind of foundation to fall back on the whole round. It's like he picked it up early and stored it in his head intentionally so that he could use it against me rather than having genuine paranoia around one simple remark.112 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 21, 2020 12:58 pmWhether or not nute is right, I'd clear her for this.

Tied votes are more often than not v/v, although I don't know how a 3-way tie factors into that. (I know it wasn't an actual tied vote, but Nook's final vote to self-pres was an obvious enough switch.) I'm not going to argue with anyone about that assertion about tied votes - disagree if you want, but that's an observation from many games of experience.
If Nook is scum, his scum buddies are more likely on me and Sig, as it would be quite risky to vote for a teammate in such a close vote (and most of these votes occured in the final hours, when it was clear enough that Nook was a potential wagon). I'm looking at TSP and Jack on Sig, and DDL and Hyena on me. The others had some signs of progression or, in MP7's case, was bouncing around like a rubber ball already. If anyone is a wolf on scumNook's wagon, I guess it'd be LC or 112, but that doesn't jive with my reads on them.
If Nook is town, the scum may be more evenly spread (although I won't forget that last game they piled up on me when I was mislynched, so that's not a hard and fast rule). Regardless, I haven't changed my mind on LC or 112, so that would mean Nutella would be the scum voter in this case, particularly since she didn't mind following MP7's directions to vote there. I see no reason that doesn't fit. But I'd still look at TSP/Jack and DDL/Hyena as sig was clearly a safe landing spot for a scum vote, and I am as well.
tl;dr regardless of Nook's alignment, I plan to ISO TSP, Jack, DDL, and Hyena first and foremost. The other votes felt natural or were clearly built up to.

Re: Coronavirus Mafia [Day 1]
Lol yeah speed wasn't convincing and ddl hardly said anything relevant, Hyena just decided to townread him somewhere in there without explaining why.
It really makes no sense.

[VOTE: Master Radish] aubergine
DDL, welcome to my towncore. You're taking MR's spot.
Nutella no likey
Im high btw
Looking at my own voters, DDL's was a stale vote (and poorly justified IMO), Hyena's lacks conviction, Nook's was self-pres which is NAI...the only vote I find to come from a genuine place is Speedchuck's.
Normally I try to avoid the OMGUS look because it can make one biased, but I don't like the make-up of my wagon very much.

Re: Coronavirus Mafia [Night 1]
That reminds me, I think someone - MP7? - asked me to expand on my distaste of DDL's vote on me. I'll get around to that at some point; consider this a reminder to myself. IRL things to do first.

There are various possible interpretations but mostly Hyena looks icky around that part of the phase.
That might make Nook scum. Hmm.

Re: Coronavirus Mafia [Night 1]
There's not a lot of meat in Hyena's ISO. Short posts are his thing, but he usually adds more substance from what I gather of his towngame. It's by-and-large one-line posts this time around from him.

Re: Coronavirus Mafia [Night 1]
Epi has hosted a very wide variety of games, but they're always high quality and well-thought out, and I'd expect the same from Mac. Other than that, hard to say.112 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 21, 2020 11:35 amProbably if you say so. I'm not sure how open set-ups are usually run on this site, and Epi/Mac seem like funtime hosts, so I'll defer to a more experienced Syndicate player on this.Spoiler: show
I've adjusted to my meds quite a bit and should be more aware of my thread surroundings today.

Re: Coronavirus Mafia [Night 1]
Just a minor correction: I'm not representing us this year, and so I'm not really preparing for a run any time soon. That'd be JaggedJimmyJay, and Sloonei is our backup. I played in Season 5 (qualifier, wildcards, finale). I signed up for the first practice champs game on MU because other than Champs that year, I haven't really been around any sites to play much since then until very recently, IRL stuff. I would like another shot at it one of these days though, TBD, especially since IRL exploded during my finale and we got swept by scum.112 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 21, 2020 11:44 amI fully agree with this post--so much that it makes me sort of wary of you.Spoiler: show
If MP is highly emotional regardless of his affiliation, I rescind my last evening's clearing of him and refer back to tonal impurities I've noticed in his talk at points; he's still on the table. I have a very hard time, again, thinking that a wolf would become so upset in a not-highly-competitive game like this one, but he is gearing up for a Champs run, so that may explain it if he is actually wolfing.
It wouldn't be a bad strategy for him to pick out a bunch of people who he knows are TP and mention them as being towncored with him--along with mentioning maybe one person (if that) who are actually wolfing and try to bring them through with him.
Scum manipulation last night makes sense, but it could be that all our wagons were TP and they let us screw ourselves over into any lynch we wanted at the time because they weren't particularly worried about appearances at that point.
Per your last point, I think it's all speculative and hard to say at this time. I'm considering both possibilities myself.

Re: Coronavirus Mafia [Night 1]
This correction makes me feel mildly better about LC. I realize it's fakeable, but there's less reason for him to correct this if he's scum and wants us all guessing.Long Con wrote: ↑Tue Apr 21, 2020 12:20 pmOk, but kill them before me, because no, I didn't try to immediately implement an identical plan. PLUS, those early pushers were weaksauce. Nobody really believed M plus 7 intended to lynch me Day 1 for revenge. When it worked for us, it stood up to Detective Sloonei going back over it with a fine-toothed comb, coming up with the conclusion that the planned suspicion looked more real than the Tony suspicion. This is not that.speedchuck wrote: ↑Tue Apr 21, 2020 9:47 am I quickly caught up, some thoughts:
Wary of Jack. I don't have any idea what to make of him, and I've not really seen him post like this before. The balance of content and jokes and post number is just way off. I know that sounds weird but it'sameta.
It occurred to me reading around the EOD that LC had a bunch of random votes and wagon pushers early... which was exactly the strategy I used with him in a scumgame that just ended. The mafia planned out a bunch of initial busses to look unaligned, and we (Read: LC) won thanks to that. LC is definitely someone to look into tomorrow, as well as anyone who pushed him early.
Even in that case, I think there was scum vote manipulation around the EOD. It would be good if people stated the reasons for their votes and (if they weren't on sig) whether they still believe in their wagons.

Re: Coronavirus Mafia [Night 1]
It still is typical from what I know, although it's more mixed these days as our culture has developed over time. Open-setup role madness games with strict no claims were carried over heavily from prior to Syndicate days when I tried to resurrect mafia after Lostpedia and affiliated sites mafia started getting harder to fill after the show ended and various other things. Since we expanded due to Champs exposure in Season 2, it's been slowly becoming more mixed. With that said, I don't have as direct knowledge of the last couple of years' worth of games since I've been less involved around here.112 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 21, 2020 12:32 pmSorry- you're right that it's not an open setup. I've confused my terminology. I just mean that roles are claimable whereas in my past experience on this site there was no claiming, which I thought to be typical of the game culture here.NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME wrote: ↑Tue Apr 21, 2020 12:18 pm Why do you keep calling this an open setup, is there a role or character list somewhere that I’m missing?

Re: Coronavirus Mafia [Night 1]
I think this might be the only game outside the one I ran and Take Me Out with open claims that I’ve seen here. Not 100% sure about that but I think it’s true.

I was pretty okay with Hyena being town for Day 1, but I echo the calls for further examination there.112 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 21, 2020 12:58 pmWhether or not nute is right, I'd clear her for this.

I'll ISO Hyena later in the night. I was sussing him a bit to myself but didn't say anything yesterday as I was focused on other people. It does read like a tmi on town!nook now that I'm looking back at it.
