Oddly enough, even though I still want to see some more explanations of your reads, I sorta gut-townread this post for some unknown reason.
It is and it isn't.
Dunya already explained in signups who NAA was.
Post 54's comment on NAA is a statement that implies that it means something while actually saying very little.
This comes across as "I'm jealous because the cool girl is more popular than me." I don't think that's your intention, but just saying...MacDougall wrote: ↑Tue Feb 22, 2022 10:14 pmscum dunya's things is doing whatever she wants with confidence and getting away with it because she's dunya and everyone who plays mafia with her is a simpJackofhearts2005 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 22, 2022 10:13 pmI kinda agree except like…is that scum Dunya’s thing?

Re: The Rings of Power - Day One
It's kinda like being a nice person and not succumbing to internet culture are good things for any game. But I actually firmly believe that this is not alignment specific, tbh.MacDougall wrote: ↑Tue Feb 22, 2022 10:44 pm I just think you get away with a lot of obviously scummy shit when you're mafia because people enjoy you (and are afraid of mischopping you cuz if you're town you can solo win games) and if it makes you feel better I feel the same way about myself a lot of the time. There are many players (yourself included) who are very good at reading me and often see me for who i am when I am mafia and find it endlessly frustrating convincing people to throw me off the bus. It's a similar dynamic I feel with you. Certainly me saying that people simp for you isn't a slight against you at all so not sure why you'd feel that it is.

does it really? that's a weird thing for you to think given it's clearly a self explanatory point that has fuck all to do with me making a statement about her popularity and everything to do with me simply scumreading her in a game of mafia.

Re: The Rings of Power - Day One
Do you know what I hate most? Anyone being considered "good enough to solo carry games"
Literally, I've solved plenty of games by myself, and nobody considers me able to do so, or cares about my ability to do so.
My point, any mafia player who understands the basics to a solid extent can solve a game by themselves. It's so stupid to ever hear the term "good mafia player."
Just from my experience, the absolute best spot to be in is a good player who puts no fear into any other player. I often get to live to endgames and just solve/enjoy the game. Fucking hate egos tbh.
p.s. Although I do sometimes get annoyed at jokes thrown my way like recently on MU was someone saying "Benji could never be that person, he would never be able to do that well." Even though I hate egos, people who mock my ability and deadname/misgender me in one comment, good god I wanted to slap said player.

I semi-encouraged it, admittedly.

With Scotty, I used him indirectly to try to poke at Axehole/StarV, and Scotty reacted to it with a vote. In my experience, when the people I use to test other players react negatively to my shenanigans, it's completely NAI.
With Mac, I'm pretty sure it's mostly poking around as usual? I'm letting him do his thing to see if people follow.
Omega is the only person who I think had a push on me that I could read into, but I already had a townread on her from earlier when it seemed like she got annoyed with me for misunderstanding what she was trying to say about Pokemon and Yugioh. Of course, I could be have been reading the whole situation wrong, but that's what I'm sticking to until I'm told otherwise.
Also, hi, Marmot. <3
When doesn't Mac feel forceful? I can't count the number of times I've gotten into arguments with town!Mac when I wanted to do things (i.e. kill certain people) my way but he, instead, forced things to go his way.srceenplay wrote: ↑Tue Feb 22, 2022 11:30 pmjust paranoid.Marmot wrote: ↑Tue Feb 22, 2022 11:28 pmsrceenplay wrote: ↑Tue Feb 22, 2022 11:27 pm other news,

Re: The Rings of Power - Day One
You verbatim, out of context, are complaining about people being considered good at mafia.
Someone considering themselves being good at mafia, sure, lame, not that I have an issue with it or would care about it, but you didn't say that. You said verbatim, that "what you hate most" is people being considered good enough to solo carry games, subsequently elaborating that the term "good mafia player" is the stupidest thing ever.
Which I am ever so sorry but I entirely disagree with. People being impressed that others are good at a mafia game is perfectly fine and FUN and people should strive in games to get good at them cuz it's fun. People thinking they are good at mafia. Perfectly fine. The idea that some people are better than others at mafia, perfectly acceptable, normal and demonstrable by many metrics.
Furthermore, you clearly are taking a stab at me mentioning that Dunya is good enough as town to solo win games. I have seen it with my own eyes many times. So it's not stupid. Again, it's demonstrably factually a thing.
Have I seen you have game breaking reads for town. Yes. Would I readily suggest that. No. Why? Because I've been playing mafia with Dunya since 2011 and have seen it dozens of times. I've seen it from you maybe twice. Is it a consistent behaviour from you? I have no idea cuz we've played maybe 3 games together ever.
Now onto a more relevant point. In this game we have had similar pings from similar people. So I would presume your reads are >rand accurate in this particular game. Yet, you called me annoying and have now for some reason gone on a diatribe about me thinking Dunya is good at mafia. That's two examples of you negatively engaging me that have nothing to do with reading my alignment or solving the game and I'd appreciate if you wouldn't.

I'm curious, what in particular about mafia do you like/enjoy? I ask, because you've mentioned a number of things in this game that annoy you, or that you dislike or hate, but nothing that you enjoy about it. The answer could be nothing for all I know, but I am interested.

As the player with the 2nd most votes, I take issue with you not having a read on me, especially when you have your vote on HK, which I feel is a cop out. :< Have I not given enough content yet compared to HK? What is HK doing that I'm not that's grabbing your attention?srceenplay wrote: ↑Tue Feb 22, 2022 11:24 pm blah
Creature interacting is not how I remember them playing. From what I remember they always scum coasted. Maybe town coasted as well. They dont feel bad though.

Okay, for real, why haven't you given a read on me? It feels like you're paying attention to other going-ons, but when it comes to the people actually getting wagoned (I'm pretty sure I was the lead wagon at one point), you don't seem to have much interest in leading people to or away from certain wagons?srceenplay wrote: ↑Tue Feb 22, 2022 11:30 pmjust paranoid.Marmot wrote: ↑Tue Feb 22, 2022 11:28 pmsrceenplay wrote: ↑Tue Feb 22, 2022 11:27 pm other news,

HK has made a number of posts like this today, which offer little insight into his thought process or what he thinks about the game.
This does not include extended back-and-forths about complaining about reading posts in this game thread.
HK has offered a couple reads.
Spoiler: show
But the srceenplay one is, dare I say, hedgey, and the DOOM one is unexplained.
I'm putting HK in the scum pile for now.

I would like to think if we're going to flip moonwink it probably would be best at some point not this day phase.
I feel like maybe they would be solvable
whereas Jack I'm kinda just sheeping people bc despite my history of games with jack, I still don't know how to read that guy

whereas Jack I'm kinda just sheeping people bc despite my history of games with jack, I still don't know how to read that guy
Jack has an uncanny ability to diffuse suspicion of him when it arises (aka make himself look hella townie when he needs to). I honestly don't recall what town!jack looks like because he seemingly always rands mafia.

Re: The Rings of Power - Day One
This sounds like its a subtle yet tempting suggestion that I just make this game more fun by adding something absolutely arbitrary to it
that is, town-reading Moonwink a lot more than what my actual self normally would

Re: The Rings of Power - Day One
So, the former stuff is what I had thought people were taking issue with as far as HK was concerned. If that had been the case, I would have been "lol, doesn't HK, like, never play D1?", but I didn't see the latter stuff until now. I think I'm okay with the srceen read, but if HK is basing his read on Omega on just that post, I'm feeling meh.Marmot wrote: ↑Wed Feb 23, 2022 2:17 amSpoiler: show
HK has made a number of posts like this today, which offer little insight into his thought process or what he thinks about the game.
This does not include extended back-and-forths about complaining about reading posts in this game thread.
HK has offered a couple reads.
Spoiler: show
But the srceenplay one is, dare I say, hedgey, and the DOOM one is unexplained.
I'm putting HK in the scum pile for now.
With that said, I still feel worse about srceenplay. A bunch of stuff has been posted, and he's actively voting someone who hasn't given many reads, yet hasn't really defended or shown any interest in the people who ARE actually getting wagoned. It smells like an attempt to be seen as pushing as someone who's not a top wagon, so that when one of the top wagons gets chopped, he doesn't have to take any blame for it if they flip town. This is why I want srceenplay to give a read on me.
If he thinks I'm town, I want him to defend me and yell at the people who are wagoning on me. If he thinks I'm scum, I want him to join my wagon and yell to people that I'm scum. That's the least I'm going to ask for if I'm going to remain a top wagon for now. :P
But yeah, as far as my scum pile goes, I'd be okay with chopping any of srceen, Jack, and Axehole. I talked about Axehole earlier -- didn't really like their responses to me and Scotty while they were talking about me.

Re: The Rings of Power - Day One
I think I like the mechanics of the game, and the mystery/hunt that comes from playing town. I played a lot of mashes on Mu because mystery/hunt also happened for mafia. I'm also someone who didn't have a single friend in my life for 7+ years, so playing mafia was apart of my social life I required. There. Overall the groups who play, and the negative behaviors that are exacerbated, make mafia mostly not enjoyable to me.Marmot wrote: ↑Wed Feb 23, 2022 2:05 amDaughterOfOmega wrote: ↑Wed Feb 23, 2022 1:31 am Do you know what I hate most? Anyone being considered "good enough to solo carry games"
Literally, I've solved plenty of games by myself, and nobody considers me able to do so, or cares about my ability to do so.
My point, any mafia player who understands the basics to a solid extent can solve a game by themselves. It's so stupid to ever hear the term "good mafia player."
Just from my experience, the absolute best spot to be in is a good player who puts no fear into any other player. I often get to live to endgames and just solve/enjoy the game. Fucking hate egos tbh.
p.s. Although I do sometimes get annoyed at jokes thrown my way like recently on MU was someone saying "Benji could never be that person, he would never be able to do that well." Even though I hate egos, people who mock my ability and deadname/misgender me in one comment, good god I wanted to slap said player.
I'm curious, what in particular about mafia do you like/enjoy? I ask, because you've mentioned a number of things in this game that annoy you, or that you dislike or hate, but nothing that you enjoy about it. The answer could be nothing for all I know, but I am interested.

This isn’t an incorrect observation, RE: dancing. It is an incorrect conclusion.
Dunya and I are in a weird place in our relationship of late and powerwolfing and just posting high both kinda have similar looks (in that you don’t answer questions in a way that makes sense and you ignore questions). The former issue may also lead to me coming across as “cagey” @Moonwink

I don’t think it’s appropriate to talk about it here and I don’t feel like talking about it anyway. It’s just worth noting that it’s a factor in my play, here.

Creature interacting is not how I remember them playing. From what I remember they always scum coasted. Maybe town coasted as well. They dont feel bad though.
Dunya confident IDGAF what you think feels towny to me but what mac says makes me think twice about it.
Nanook can be voted off
Moonwink idk without going back and rereading.

Re: The Rings of Power - Day One
you are a null/scum position. Overly explaining your actions sounds like someone who scared of what people think about them. on the flip side it could be you just want people to understand you. IDK never played with you so, so i can sit back and observe and watch it play out more.Moonwink wrote: ↑Wed Feb 23, 2022 2:11 amOkay, for real, why haven't you given a read on me?

I feel like he's more concerned in justifying himself and his wishy washy stance than actually taking a stance because she a lot of content and interactions and reactions to judge. it's a stance that is positioning her as a possible yeet he can explain without having to look like a sore thumb
That's my take.

Re: The Rings of Power - Day One
Dunya has now stated a wolfread on me. Normally, when a player I suspect wolfreads me out of nowhere, I want to ask them about it to see if I can use their line of reasoning to determine if they are being truthful or not.
Because it’s Dunya, I don’t care. Dunya always scumreads me.
Just saying that the kneejerk reaction in there.
