Pyre Mafia [ENDGAME]

[Marcher Jovian]

Oh I guess MR gave Bronana a sapling or something and that's why he was not votable

I'm learning

night banish = mafia factional kill
day banish = yeet

They were doctors

[Marcher Jovian]

I just realized that both saps had plant-themed user names lol

[nutella]

I just realized that both saps had plant-themed user names lol

yeah I thought that was p funny

[MacDougall]

So what's the deal with the anointing dealio

[Carotenoid]

argh
DrWilgy not voting for Turnip Head looks good-ish for them?
Was the no-quickness thing of DrWilgy only D1?

[Carotenoid]

I feel like I shouldn't keep ignoring mechanics but I don't know what I can do with this at all

Are we supposed to have currency right now?

[DrWilgy]

I've been ignoring mechanics this entire time. Too complicated.

[Long Con]

Who's this minstrel and why is he anoiting me

Ti'Zo or Big Bertrude?

[KZA]

Oh I guess MR gave Bronana a sapling or something and that's why he was not votable

I'm learning

wrong

the saplings are night protections i'm p sure

i already claimed the bronana thing

What did you claim

Who's this minstrel and why is he anoiting me

Ti'Zo or Big Bertrude?

The little imp thing

[DrWilgy]

what if I abitrarily cleared nutella and carot and decided sloonei was a wolf

Do you currently think this is the case?

[bronana]

This game has been super frustrating for me.

[Epignosis]

cayvie has replaced Soneji. Carry on with the Rites, Exiles.

[nutella]

wooo sup cayvie!

[MacDougall]

oh man cayvie, can you solve the game for us plz thx

[NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME]

[mention]cayvie[/mention] which is better unicorns or merpeople, go

[bronana]

Still need to think over what to make of dunya 180’ing her read on my slot. It feels so brazen it wraps all the way from wolfy opportunism to townie

sorry, but your contrary behavior towards lissa on not having definite reads and then hitting us with that weird null pile is just super wolfy to me.

There’s a reason why I didn’t ask another question when Lissa after bluntly stated that sloonei null and nutella lean town. “I don’t want to decide” isn’t a read. “null” is.

i don't understand your sentence, sorry.

let me ask something though, why do you have a null read on sloonei who has like 300 posts? and they're all game heavy. what more are you waiting to see of him before deciding where you want to play him? don't you think you can assign your null pile either scum or town leans at least?

Because I wouldn’t bet the game on sloonei being town. null reads are the curse of being a good player, he’s still in both townrange and scumrange. Like sure I could say “sloonei’s been making good posts this game, he’s probs town”, except it turns out wolves are allowed to make posts too.

Posting a lot and doing “game things” is insufficient to be proven town.

I want sloonei to do a thing that makes me go “yep, this post is impossible for sloonei to make as a wolf, sloonei must be town” before I pass judgement. Acting before that is premature

town
carotenoid-just mindmelding multiple times and being on the exact same page, grace and continued solviness even under pressure, just the clear lack of tmi

townlean
bronana-literally went to another site and iso’d me to look at my meta. What kind of wolf does that?
kza-sheeping dead MR and just trying to see world from a perspective of KZA town
moth-blatant meta differences, out of scumrange
nanook-enough people have said “yeah this is par for the course for Nanook meta, lock town” that I don’t think it’s a mafia ploy
nutella-masonry thing
tedxtr-showed that second gear of thinking about the game that’s pretty much impossible for scum to reach, cuz they already have all the answers

how does anyone think marcher is a villager? it's truly baffling to me

me looking at a couple games marcher played on my homesite is impossible for a wolf to do? what?

i'm sorry but someone saying i'm a villager because i looked at their past games and found them wolfy from it is just straight up a wolfy pov

i'm really annoyed you guys killed another villager and keep letting wolves skate by. play better.

[KZA]

I wonder what changed to make Marcher think I'm town

[cayvie]

Oh shit there's night posting

[cayvie]

cayvie has replaced Soneji. Carry on with the Rites, Exiles.

@cayvie which is better unicorns or merpeople, go

Unicorns were my high school mascot so them

Uni pride!

[cayvie]

oh man cayvie, can you solve the game for us plz thx

Probably not tbh

I'll try tho

I'm at work rn, gonna be home in an hour or so and do some reading.

oh damn you're mafia that sux

[cayvie]

I've only played with Mac before, I think. Soneji too, but.

Any mechanical tricks to playing on the syndicate? I figured out trick #1, night posting.

I guess we vote in a poll?

[moth]

im assuming I die tonight.Ill make my dead readz

Wut

That’s a kickass mascot, I’m pretty jealous I got stuck with the semi-racist “Indian head” that’s pretty common in the us.

[cayvie]

oh moth is in the game!!! i borrowed a chariot from you and then i forgot to bring it. just a sec

[cayvie]

I arrive on a rented chariot drawn by birbs

[cayvie]

moth is def aggressive and paranoid here lol. Based on my very limited meta knowledge of him I want to say he's more likely town than not here but idk

Tsp is fine

Essence sounds cool I'm gonna join essence. @Long Con it reminds me of your worldbuilding aesthetic so maybe you'll join me

....ping.....

I have some reads so far.

....ping.....

im pretty sure outed, tony and bronan are all scum.

nutella is turning on jets in a towny way

i cant tell if you are going for TWTBAW here deliberately or what

cause it kinda feels like you're aiming for it

so this is the first time youve called me wolfy. and now not only am I wolfy, im OUTLANDISHLY wolfy.

sounds desperate

you seem intent on interpreting outed wolf's posts in the harshest light possible

.....ping.....

Why Are You All So Obsessed With Me?

PINGPINGPINGPING

ok Why Are You So Obsessed With Me? is actually a tell tho, double points when you actually explicitly reference mean girls.

[cayvie]

I think all of the new-to-the-syndicate folks should introduce themselves and tell us all a little about themselves as mafia players.

hi im cayvie! i've been playing mafia a long time on forums, since 2005 at least. i abruptly quit in 2012, came back this year and jumped in the deep end and was nominated for champs. i am finding out stuff about myself as a mafia player i never knew!

i've played most on the dominion strategy forums, where i am a highposter in a lowpost world.

i like emotion a lot. please express yourselves around me!

[Sloonei]

are those good pings or bad pings?

[cayvie]

oh so page 8 is where the game starts

This is the part where I declare that one of the weak wolf leans was actually you, and given that you happen to immediately point out a "gotcha.gif" that was clearly nothing scummy, you're not arguing in good faith and I have no interest in talking to a wolf read of mine.

this is a pretty disproportionate response to some very mild prodding lol

ok? what does that say about my alignment.

shrug.jpg

i'd say ted came out of this exchange lookin awful townie

nutella's concerns about me felt inauthentic:

/S/N/I/P/

It stems from me casting a silent vote in the poll (I didn't give it much thought or realize at the time that people were calling their votes. I just plopped a vote down on an empty option with a fun name), and then becomes an observation that I'm not "projecting town", which is a thing that I'm allegedly good at. Theoretically, then, I'm good at faking a town projection as well, so if I'm failing to do that here then it doesn't really need to be a concern. At this point I decided to lean into the perception that I wasn't projecting town to see what kind of response I'd get. Nutella responded with trepidation and confusion ("I really don't know what to make of this behavior from Sloonei"). The connoisseur of spice should be doing more to apply direct pressure if she has concerns. This looks like she's trying to challenge me for thread credit, but is at the same time worried about the potential backlash.

and that's why I was being deliberately combative.

oh hell yeah you got a faust and an efhw here too, nice.

[cayvie]

are those good pings or bad pings?

not sure. they're the dots that need connecting, but i don't know what the picture looks like yet.

[Sloonei]

Pidgey town

[Sloonei]

But I don't know what a faust or an efhw are. Nouns, I suppose.

[cayvie]

But I don't know what a faust or an efhw are. Nouns, I suppose.

sry, they're players from my homesite that you and nutella remind me of, respectively.

i see.

[cayvie]

this just feels way too much like mafiascum. Im not sure im enjoying it yet. I need some angst

What can I do to help?

love this from radishes

juliet seemed excited for me to play
tonystark too, and hes barely said a word to me
soneji at least showed the enthuisiasm I expected but he kinda just anchored and left

whoa, real emotion, in my mafia game? or just moth memeing?

aight i think moth is town come at me

do you tho? i guess we'll see if they come at you. on the edge of my seat.

ok d0 reads

town: sloon, moth, radishes, ted
scummish: nutella, carotenoid

nutella: well if EFHW made those posts, she'd be scum, so that's the read
carotenoid: posted a lotta nothin

[cayvie]

ok bedtime. i depart in a...

dude where's my chariot

birbs come back

[tedxtr]

We have Wilgy and Marcher as options

we flash wagon TH

Marcher - only defended himself while not exploring past reads and hunting

Wilgy - only pops at EoD to evade the cuddle

just cuddle these people already, we aren't progressing the game at all

[NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME]

Progress is the enemy of the lead footed.

[TonyStarkPrime]

Okay as soon as day 3 starts I gain enough experience points to evolve into MegaTonyStarkPrime. I'll solve it from there.

[moth]

I awaken on a barge covered in barnacles

[moth]

so turnip thinks I am scum. he died voting me. so clearly I have work to do.

[moth]

he had nutella and caro as strong town. so maybe im just on the wrong track here.

[moth]

tony stark really needs to die.

[Long Con]

i've played most on the dominion strategy forums, where i am a highposter in a lowpost world.

Interesting.... I have made extensive use of that wiki since covid started, didn't realize there was Mafia afoot in those forums!

[DrWilgy]

Wilgy - only pops at EoD to evade the cuddle

This is bullshit.

Interact with what I put out instead of crying "Well he's only here sometimes." It's obviously not a time constraint or anything keeping me from playing when I do.

[DrWilgy]

he had nutella and caro as strong town. so maybe im just on the wrong track here.

In spite of the following?

scum is fluffing post counts late at night and using distancing to look mad or disconnected. last night it was caro and nutella and I called it out and caro hid from the thread because I called out exactly what was going on

[moth]

not in spite of anything. Maybe its zack after all

[DrWilgy]

not in spite of anything. Maybe its zack after all

Hold on, can you break down your view on Caro and Nutella then? Because what you are saying now doesn't align with where I thought your head was.
