Fargo Mafia [Game Ends]

[Oddmerta]

[VOTE: Oddmerta] aubergine

What are you doing?

Playing Fargo Mafia... What are you doing?

I am also playing Fargo Mafia but better

LOL no you're not!

Bo is voting for a townie, I'm voting for a scum.

[Long Con]

I feel like Alison thinks she's right about Oddmerta.

What's your present read on Alison?

She always seems towny based on her approach to the game. I am not sure how to identify her scum game. That first-post roleclaim was bold, and I'm willing to see it as towny. Even though it could be a ploy.

[BoKnows]

Alison has hard-vouched for Oddmerta. Folks who have voted for him should speak about that.

What has Alison done to receive our vote of confidence to listen to her vote of confidence on odd?

That all depends upon your view of Alison. Do you view her as a suspect or as a town read or as something else?

Spoiler: show

Falcon, Odd, Sloonei, Strawhenge, Jay, Mac are the townreads I feel okay about.

Esooa, SPF, fingersplints are lesser townreads.

JPIC is my strongest scumread atm but that's not saying much.

Maybe Oddmerta got exactly what he wanted by opposing civilian Sloonei.

I'm dropping the shield on Oddmerta. He's probably my strongest townread right now.

I also town-read oddmerta, but I think he's being rather silly.

He is but in a townie way.

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

[VOTE: Oddmerta ] aubergine

no

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

@Long Con, @Esooa, @tedxtr, @BoKnows -- please tell me how you feel about the contents of the spoiler above. Thanks.

Alison's current game is resembling her bee mafia game (which she was town), but I'm also under the impression that she can play a good wolf game. With that said I do have her marked down as a slight town-lean. I am not willing to not vote someone because Alison said not to vote for that person.

[TonyStarkPrime]

Tony, do you think you have a propensity to be attracted to against-the-grain views of games? I don't mean this as an affront, because sometimes it's perfectly valid. I'm just wondering if you associate that kind of mindset with yourself.

I think I take that role as it comes to me. On the scale from least against the grain to most “fight the town core”, from like straight-poe’r to Tim or whatever I’m probably like a 6-7. I think I’m going to be more like that here because 1) I’m harboring some suspicion of you and Sloonei and 2) you and Sloonei are in this game to keep normal things chugging along.

[TonyStarkPrime]

The wolf of those three would be SPF I think, Sloonei

[JaggedJimmyJay]

Teamwork is a virtue. Sometimes when someone you think is town is giving confident support to someone else, it's prudent to honor that at least for a time in the absence of truly powerful suspicion. I don't think any point raised against Oddmerta the last couple pages is a convincing one. I don't share Alison's confidence, but for the time being I am willing to respect her read. It's also Sloonei's read and tutuu's read and Mac's read and perhaps Nanook's read I can't remember.

[TonyStarkPrime]

I think in general people playing the game how Odd is currently playing the game are >rand wolf but that’s not strictly relevant.

Yeah but do I strike you as a team player?

You strike me as someone who could be with but a simple choice. Maybe give it a try. I know it's not an easy thing to just look past your own read, but it can be super rewarding when it works out. There's a certain camaraderie in the game of Mafia that far too seldom is allowed to blossom. When it does blossom though, this game is such a fun and beautiful thing.

If you give it a try and it turns out later you had it right, then that's something you can rub in everyone's faces -- including mine. I know you'd enjoy that too!

Need to take a shower and read Kant and get lunch and a covid test in the next 80 minutes wish me luck

i dunno

[TonyStarkPrime]

I forget who we’re clearing from the n0 thing was it finger or straw

[tutuu]

Wait, was there no Night 0? Or did scum try and fail to kill someone? :o

Or am I getting senile and Night 0s aren't a thing?

this was the n0 thing

It was fun when Fallout 2 ended. Would have been more fun if people had joined MY team instead, because then we would have won.

[JaggedJimmyJay]

I forget who we’re clearing from the n0 thing was it finger or straw

That was Strawhenge, though that has little to do with my view of him. I just think he looks very civilian in general.

[tutuu]

was there n0s back in straw's time?

[JaggedJimmyJay]

was there n0s back in straw's time?

Not really on The Syndicate. I think RYM Mafia (that's where a few of us know Strawhenge from) had a few games start with a night 0 instead of a day 0.

[Long Con]

I've done Night 0 a few times here, but I'm the only one I can recall doing it. Mostly because it is weird to me to go from Day 0 to Day 1 with no Night. It's unnatural.

[Long Con]

By that I mean, no Day 0, just Night 0. And open night.

[Long Con]

So, functionally identical. Might have done some limited role usage if appropriate.

[JaggedJimmyJay]

Some of the earliest RYM games started with a Night 0 that included a night kill. People got killed before Day 1.

[JaggedJimmyJay]

I have too many posts. I'm going to let this game move without me for a while and maybe get some actual work finished.

[tutuu]

[TonyStarkPrime]

All of my real life mafia games growing up had night starts

[BoKnows]

looks like me

[falcon45ca]

Odd, you honestly think that scum like to vote together in a situation like this?

Why would that be a thing? What logic are you supposedly employing here? This is suspicious.

Why wouldn't mafia vote together in a situation like this? What kind of situation is this?

One reason mafia wouldn't vote together is that they don't want to be associated, but that's neither here nor there - your reverse question isn't pertinent.

The situation is voting for a player who has no other votes, in the first half of day 1.

In the last game we played, Bee Mafia, two mafia voted together for their third mafia member Day 1. This allowed them to win.

I’m not saying this is exactly the same situation, but I definitely am rethinking what “mafia wouldn’t do” after that game.

It's true. And LC saw it happen, so I'm not sure why he's acting like it's not a possibility

You've lost track of my point entirely.

Well then man of mystery, why don't you clarify for me?

[BoKnows]

@falcon45ca can I get your thoughts on the karst topography in Yunnan province of China?

[Sloonei]

Read a little and the two people on my wagon did not explain their vote on me. Little bit annoying but whatever.

Yes

Not if there isn’t a point to the exercise. If there is a credible reason then I will

[Sloonei]

@Sloonei what are your reads?

i'll publish them later. i worked last night and have several errands to run this afternoon, so I haven't sat down and ruminated on All Things Fargo yet. I prefer to leave things a mystery for the meantime because I feel like this game is generally going well, so there's no pressure on me to be Mr. Solving right away.
