Fargo Mafia [Game Ends]

[fingersplints]

I’m beginning to realise I’m going to have a hard time keeping up with this game with this kind of posting. I missed some day 0 pages that I planned on going back to today but I’m going to try these ones first as I’m guessing they will be more important

[tutuu]

Reads are for nerds.

Oh it's page 2 now. Alison is mafia.

Nice

what do you think of that

Sloonei is starting to ping me as scum

For the thing you just quoted, along with the setup speculation?

@tutuu you never responded when I first addressed you over this.

How is the above over elaborating? I'm pretty obviously just asking Falcon for clarification on his Sloonei read

You run in to thread yelling about how excited you are to be playing Mafia but this is your top scum read and basis for it? Really? I don't believe you.

I dont remember u askimg me before; i know that ur asking falcon that

[tutuu]

why big game over other people though?

Why do you think?

you want to test her accuracy? That's the only goal of the chop? Meh

No. I want the best deepwolf candidate in the POE resolved first before they get a foothold in the thread and start mowing down their adversaries and building the gamestate to favour themselves.

eh

Lmaoooo

[tutuu]

Wolf: Mac is town
Mac: Thank you wolf, who do you think is mafia?
Wolf: Tutuu is mafia
Mac: Thank you for clearing Tutuu for me, who is mafia now?
Wolf: Ted is mafia
Mac: Thank you for spewing Ted your teammate

The frustrating thing about getting better at Mafia in a competitive environment is that everyone else is also getting better at the same time. It's like level scaling in a bad video game.

[tutuu]

Yeah I mean I thought you were Ted so it's me who's having a stroke not you.

are you alright fella

actually no I have had the most stressful day and here I am now playing mafia at the end of it which is one of my primary vices and a strong precursor to heavy drinking

awhhhh huggie huggie huggie it's okay

Drinking sucks anyway it makes you feel like shit!!!! play stardew valley it's calming and listen to folk music I can send you some

Lmaoooo

JJJ probably has the horse armour dlc

[fingersplints]

- Fingersplints is doing all the townie stuff that she usually does in other games, but she isn't as obvious town to me as she has been in both other games I've seen her town. I would like to understand why. This is the primary reason for reading her only lightly town and why I have her as a slot to look into.

The other games I played were smaller. This is my first larger game since my break and it has a lot more posts. I’m struggling to stay up to speed. Hopefully soon I will be able to contribute more in the way you are used to.

[VOTE: Oddmerta ] aubergine

Why do you think that?

[Esooa]

I've not reread oddmerta but I don't think people with a strong town read on him are correct

[Esooa]

I thought he was towny at first when he did his weird shit then he kept up nothing but it

that's all I remember

nothing substantive

only gimmick

Why do you think that?

Why do I think that they will be more important? It’s just how I read the thread. More current first as that’s where the current discussion will be and some of the old page stuff will probably be reiterated on them. So I’m reading last nights pages, while trying to stay on the current page to discuss, then if I get time later today I’ll go back to the Day 0 pages.

[fingersplints]

For instance if someone had a suspicion during Day 0 that really stuck it’ll probably still be being talked about.

[fingersplints]

Up to page 24 now, I don’t agree with the suspicion of Jay (from TonyStarkPrime) and Alison (from staypositivefriend).
Both seem pretty townie to me right now.
TonyStarkPrime’s seems more flimsy out of the two, but I still have more to go. We’ll see

What was flimsy about it?

[Alison]

An expanded Oddmerta read from @Alison would be neat here.

I don't have an expanded Oddmerta read, I just think he's town based on tone.

[Alison]

The thing about Sloonei is not a single post he has made yet do I have to squint too hard to attribute to him in his scum meta.

Everyone clear out, Mac is farting.

lol

[Alison]

after thinking about it more, i actually feel that alison's approach to reading my slot may be town indicative for her. i would need to re-read her to know for sure, but she could just be town

Elaborate on this?

[Alison]

Town: JJJ, MacDougall, Nanook, Oddmerta, Sloonei, Strawhenge, falcon45ca

Light town: Esooa, fingersplints, BoKnows

Null: Dom, Michelle, Long Con, Marmot

Mixed: tutuu, staypositivefriedn

POE: AL_sama, JPIC, KZA, TonyStarkPrime, tedxtr

Here's where I'm at.

@JaggedJimmyJay @Sloonei @tutuu @Esooa @Michelle

You guys are on Alison duty. Here's the rules.

Alison's current readslist is >rand accurate regardless of alignment. Her reads must remain good and she must remain day in and day out responsible for the pelting of wolves to remain above the line.

The idea is that we force her into the light, or force her to kill her teammates.

If at any stage of the game after I am dead there are more than two consecutive town mislynches and if Alison is still alive, instantly kill her.

As it stands I believe she is town and expect she will self resolve early, but these are the runes. Use them wisely.

Why these five people pinged?

[Alison]

I think we go for the big game today. If Alison is town and her readslist is as accurate as I feel that it is we should flip TSP straight away.

I think I have pushed TSP literally the least out of everyone in my POE.

A few things have thrown me off from the beginning but his current vote for Marmot is something that inclines me to think that way as well. I also just don't think his iso is carrying the proper tone and I'm wondering if his read on sloonei was developed improperly. He also also seems hesistant to say things that I wouldn't usually think he'd be hesitant to say. I did like the post he made where he talked about sloonei/jay mutual TRs and how seriously they're taken or something though idk

this is probably just the usual day 1 jay tinfoil but that's where I'm at

The talk of jay’s tone and being hesitant both of which I’m not really seeing. Not really sure I understand the Sloonei comparison as a negative. They’ve always played kind of similar to me so it’s not really something I find suspicious.
I’m also not really sure I understand the Marmot vote comment. It reads to me that it’s making him also suspect marmot while simultaneously suspecting jay.

[Alison]

No. I want the best deepwolf candidate in the POE resolved first before they get a foothold in the thread and start mowing down their adversaries and building the gamestate to favour themselves.

I believe the best deepwolf candidate in that POE is ted.

[Alison]

I don't expect you to. I just wish that you would hurry up and get to the point where you realise that being town is easier when you just find other town and work with them instead of questioning your townreads reasons for townreading you for no apparent reason lol.

Getting townread is great for you as either alignment. Catching a wolf for townreading you is fun but it's also not something you should slap a wolf for. The more you force a wolf to be correct the harder it is for them to find a winning miselim. Got someone like SPF who appears to be mafia townreading you? Don't ask them why, just let them and then nope them when they push onto your godreads lol.

That's how we do it in the old folks home anyway.

That's my philosophy as well. I'll still call it out if someone makes a read on me that's really questionable but as far as I'm concerned hard sheeping me is rarely going to be a winning strategy for wolves so I'm usually fine just ignoring sheepers and let them self resolve.

also worth mentioning no one is gonna sheep me just cause they town read me

[Alison]

I have caught up.

Esooa and Mac are both obvious town. I would sheep Mac, but Mac wants to sheep me. We have the same reads anyway so it probably doesn't matter.

Oddmerta is town. Do not vote him. Trust me on this.

SPF has been pretty townie since my last criticism of her.

Al_Sama dropping off the face of the earth is very concerning and him and KZA might have the highest % of flipping scum right now.

[Alison]

I'm going to go to bed, good night.

why am I obvious town



you can answer in the morning

[Alison]

Because you've spent more time arguing fruitlessly about mafia theory than trying to put your hand in to influence the game.

[Esooa]

do nothing = obvious town

easy game

[Alison]

Not quite.

You're reasonably present in the thread, and actively engaging in the game. You aren't hiding from the rest of the game and trying to slip under the radar. At the same time you aren't trying to hard push miselims or pocket/buddy up with anyone. I can't think of any slot which would make sense as a pocket victim for you. I think in this player list especially you would be eager to influence the game strongly and try to tilt things in a favorable direction if you were mafia. As it is you are concerned with making sure your voice is heard but you aren't overtly trying to steer the game. That's pretty townie.

[MacDougall]

Esooa's insistence of questioning her townclears is entering twilight zone territory tho. So if you're trying to give yourself NK cover by getting suspected or something keep going.

damn if u keep reading me like that I won't be able to be obviously wolfy as wolf

it's simply the easiest point of discussion for me with other players

Try doing something mildly scummy and then omgussing anyone who goes after you for it. Much more fun imo.

Just claim town cop

[Esooa]

funny you mention that, I actually am the town cop

I don't think that theory makes sense, if Esooa is mafia here she has lots of nightkills she could make that wouldn't raise an eyebrow (Sloonei, you, Jay, me, etc.) which would provide more than enough explanation why she's still alive.

Sorry I didn't mean that. I meant town Esooa trying to look scummy and attract sus by tilting those townreading her. It was a joke tho.

Everyone who towns read me will go through hell. Thus I won't be town read any more. It's called classical conditioning, look it up

[Esooa]

I probably laugh at my posts more than anyone else does

[MacDougall]

I don't usually laugh at your posts but when I do I choke on my spit and die.

[Esooa]

[Long Con]

I am interested in investigating the following people more:
- Marmot
- SPF
- Dom
- Long Con
- Fingersplints

what about @Michelle

I usually don't have a huge amount of trouble reading Michelle, and she's the type whose alignment becomes more and more clear over the course of the game. So I don't see a huge need to investigate her right now.

Strangely enough, this post gives me the closest thing to a town read on Alison that I've had all game.

Strangely enough, I feel like this is a carbon copy of what she says about Michelle every game, and rather NAI. I didn't research that, but it just seems very familiar to me.

[MacDougall]

Michelle is town tho.

[Long Con]

actual read: some of your posts this game have given me the impression that you're doing a sloonei impersonation

Stuff like this is what concerns me. I don't have to do a Sloonei "impression". There's a reason he and I are memed together so often. It's been this way as long as you've been here.

you are not the same person

You're right that I am not Jay, but he and I still share enough similarities that players routinely confuse me for being him.

Er, I meant to say you're right that I am not Sloonei. Sorry, typo.

[Long Con]

Michelle is town tho.

OK, maybe. That's not what I was discussing.

That makes more sense. I was confused why they would want to follow someone they suspected. I still don’t really like the vague suspicion of Jay, and I’ll need to see more about his later comments about Marmot that you mentioned, because I’m still not sure why if you don’t have a read on someone a vote against them would be a factor. But I’ll see how it’s explained as the thread progresses
