Re: Mafia Championship Scrimmage
Yes. It felt like his whole thing (even the drunk posting) was a tactical grab for town cred, to me. That's how I was reading him by end of day. And I feel like I may actually have had that right, that it was a tactical cred grab, and thats why I think maybe my misread was cultural.a2thezebra wrote:And you suspected him for that turn around?Golden wrote:Whenever I made the post that I was tinfoiling him as bad.

I'll be completely honest, though, and say I was probably influenced by his tone more than his content. I felt like he was trying to be a town leader while spouting echanics that could be easily defeated. Culture Clash may account for the aspects I didnt' like about him.
I do feel his style changed over the day. Early on it felt like he was explaining what he was up to clearly, so I could understand what he was putting in the thread. But, the second half of the day was more like 'x is true, you all suck and are not town unless you take my word for it', which was a complete turn around.

Re: Mafia Championship Scrimmage
The first time that Golden's reads felt fabricated to me was regarding his read of me, being the narcissist that I am. Like I said, my baddie read of Golden is primarily gut-based, so I don't have any elaborate theories on the motive behind any of these posts I'm going to pull up here, my only qualm with them is that they don't seem like the genuine town Golden that I have observed to have much more conviction than I'm seeing here. This was the first post that raised an eyebrow.
Let's go back in time a bit to look at Golden's rainbow list. Given how different it is from whichever hypothetical rainbow list he would have at the end of the first day and the beginning of the current day phase, it makes sense that a baddie Golden would feel pressured to not alter his reads without covering enough back-and-forth territory with other players to make those changes of mind feel justified and natural.
Thinking through scenarios? To me it feels more like Golden didn't want to civ read me too suddenly after voicing initial suspicion, and as a baddie his interest in making sure his reads don't seem unnatural is more of a priority than as a civ. The irony of this is that, if Golden is in fact a baddie, caring more about changing his reads of others is the greatest evidence that they are in fact fabricated reads, because I don't think civ Golden would be "thinking through scenarios" by suggesting that I'm a mafia goon that wants to take out MP tomorrow. That's too specific and at the same time too absurd of a scenario to consider and propose in-thread for a genuine read. Civ Golden, as I understand him, would either tunnel me more without feeling the need to bring up bizarre theories to justify his suspicion of me, or he would be swayed to town-read me more fluidly and less vaguely.Golden wrote:Lol. Nah, sigs right. It's a stupid idea. Oh well, I was just thinking through scenarios.a2thezebra wrote:Ooooh that's a clever idea. I should try it sometime.Golden wrote:Have you considered the possibility she is mafia goon and wants to take you out behind her tomorrow.MovingPictures07 wrote:I appreciate the confidence and that someone actually seems content in helping avoid a mislynch, but let's try and redirect this towards another individual. I'm town reading you enough to not want you lynched either.a2thezebra wrote:I'm town and I'd like to keep playing, but keeping MP alive takes the top priority right now.
VOTE A2THEZEBRA
This could be testing me given that my self-vote was directly linked to a confident civ read of MP, or (and this is what I think) it could be baddie Golden maneuvering his way to what he perceives as a believable change of opinion regarding my alignment.Golden wrote:I do feel god about zebras responses to me and I'd like to shift my vote but I won't if it leads to an mp lynch.
I also find this post somewhat hard to believe given that even at my most vocal I am known for not having a very wide focus (unless I'm just shit-flinging everywhere) both as civilian and mafia, but that might just be me.Golden wrote:Oh, no, I never thought you were playing specifically to a mafia meta. But, I do think that a lack of reads and connections (no matter how many posts you've got) is somewhat of a mafia meta on you, at least thats how I feel.a2thezebra wrote:just that I'm not automatically mafia for being quiet.![]()

Sure there was a lot of time left in the day, but look at his bottom two. Me, who he ended up town-reading before the lynch, and DrWilgy, who he didn't talk about that much, at least relative to other players. Then you've got Frog, his eventual vote, at the top of his Mild Town list. Mild, sure, but I don't buy the reasoning he gave today for what convinced him that Frog was bad. Trying to seem like a town leader? That was pretty obvious, but why was it alignment-indicative? Why was the comment about night-killing (that Golden claims to have swayed him to an extent) alignment-indicative? I'm just not convinced that Golden's reads in this game are legitimate, but I'd like to see his response to these suspicions first before I make any move.Golden wrote:Rainbow time - decided to treat it like gth and have no null reads.

I'm not sure how well I know MM, because the more I know him the less confident I become about reading him. With him it could go either way regarding his town slip. He may have even fake town-slipped despite being town, I don't know. My suspicion of you is because your suspicion of me seems (seemed?) disingenuous.

The hurricane of self-assurance is a guaranteed town setting for me. You won't see it when I'm bad.
But the inverse is not true. I have many different ways of playing as town. It's just that the 'hurricane of self-assurance' is an easy read. It's a style I developed and became known for on RM when I got a few roles that were hard to NK in short order. I didn't play that way in champs either. I did in Dune... why? Because my role allowed me to figure out other players roles. I did in Turf Wars... why? Because I didn't really have time to play and wanted to have a big impact and be nked early.
I'm trying to simulate how I'll play in the champs game here, as closely as I can. I'm thinking about what I'll do stylistically etc. I certainly doubt I'll be playing hurricane of self assurance in that game. Especialyl because I want to set up a meta I can maintain in the finals if, say, I'm town in heats and mafia in finals. If I'm a town power role, I won't want to stand out. If I'm a vanilla town, I'll want to provide cover for town power roles. If I'm mafia, well, I'll want to blend in.

Marmot is being deliberately misleading. His first case was shit. I prompted him to do extra work. The extra work was both unexpected to me, and fundamentally did shift my perspective on how good his case was. It was only AFTER he added to the case that I put sloonei on my list of 'players to lynch' (hardly a concession).
I was genuinely surprised to discover Sloonei had Frog as a top baddie read before that. It was persuasive. It still is, as you'll find out soon when I fully talk about my hunch. But, I'm doing my catch up first.

I don't buy it. Maybe I'm biased since my catch-up for the end of day made it all the more clear that Frog was town to me, but I don't see how anyone could honestly perceive Frog's actions at EoD to be mafia-motivated.

The only reason I'm having to vocalize the distinction is because MM is acting as though it isn't there. Based on simply reading the thread, it's quite obvious that it was there all along. Why would I need to vocalise it before MM implied that I had agreed with his case all along?a2thezebra wrote:This also sums up my thoughts on that particular part of MM's case on Sloonei quite nicely.Golden wrote:What MM fails to account for in his case on sloonei is the extent to which sloonei already town read or trusted ika vs frog.

Just go back and read the passage of the thread - I called him on his flaw in the initial case, he did more work, and THEN after he did it I agreed with his case. The two cannot be conflated, and I shouldn't have to point out the truth of it for it to be evidently true.

I was thinking these responses would make me less confident about my read, but they're actually making me much more confident in it.
linki - No, I agreed with you that the ENTIRE case was flawed. MM's suspicion of Sloonei didn't sway me before or after his "extra work" brought to light that Sloonei's read of Frog was mafia. I knew that when I ISO'd Sloonei before MM elaborated on his case to begin with. You're trying to change the focus of this back-and-forth. It's not about MM's case on Sloonei, it's about your reaction to it. Mine makes sense whether you agree with it or not, but yours does not. It's inconsistent. You're not going to win me over by bullshitting me about what I did.
I was thinking these responses would make me less confident about my read, but they're actually making me much more confident in it.
linki - No, I agreed with you that the ENTIRE case was flawed. MM's suspicion of Sloonei didn't sway me before or after his "extra work" brought to light that Sloonei's read of Frog was mafia. I knew that when I ISO'd Sloonei before MM elaborated on his case to begin with. You're trying to change the focus of this back-and-forth. It's not about MM's case on Sloonei, it's about your reaction to it. Mine makes sense whether you agree with it or not, but yours does not. It's inconsistent. You're not going to win me over by bullshitting me about what I did.

Re: Mafia Championship Scrimmage
OK, hunch time.
I'll elaborate on this more later, but I'm about to go into a whole lot of meetings.
Silverwolf and Epi kills were undertaken to frame me. Particularly the Epi kill, see sign up thread for why. The question is, who would know me well enough to make such choices?

Re: Mafia Championship Scrimmage
My answer - sloonei and marmot. I think they are on a team together, and I think marmot's case on sloonei was deliberate distancing.

Re: Mafia Championship Scrimmage
Your hunch looks more like a preemptive defense (to an accusation that I don't think has been made yet) than a genuine effort to scumhunt. Beautiful. If there's any distancing going on, it's not Sloonei and Marmot. It's you and Marmot.

PS - my hunch included a full expectation that there would be a push against me this morning. That's why I referenced 'the hunch' but never said what it was before now.

I think its more likely I'm wrong about Marmot than wrong about Sloonei.
I've thought he was bad since the moment he jumped off Frog at the last moment at EoD. That vote felt full of certainty that Frog was town.

I thought that you thought that he was bad since MM put in the "extra work" on his case?

Or were you just willing to lynch him despite being a null read, SIlverwolf style?

I think this is a deliberate call back from someone who knows all about it.

You have convinced me to add Sloonei to the list of people I will consider voting today.
He would not be my preferred vote, because I'd be interested to see his response to your case and I don't think we'll get that today.

Trying to remove all nuance and force me to term my thoughts on sloonei across the game as either 'good' or 'bad' and not shades of grey on a sliding scale don't sit well with me.

Re: Mafia Championship Scrimmage
I had a feeling you would use this tactic at some point. Does your read look a little bit fabricated folks? Claim it as "nuance" and make known your disapproval of such outdated terms as "good" or "bad" in regards to reading other players.Golden wrote: Trying to remove all nuance and force me to term my thoughts on sloonei across the game as either 'good' or 'bad' and not shades of grey on a sliding scale don't sit well with me.

Re: Mafia Championship Scrimmage
Recruitment Mafia was a game, in which I was not bad but Epi was convinced I was bad, so my by conduct in the thread I tried to induce the mafia to NK epi to frame me, just so I'd have him out of my hair. They did kill him. They also successfully framed me lol, I never really escaped from the suspicion for it.Dyslexicon wrote:Recruitment effort when you weren't mafia?Golden wrote:No, it wouldn't require someone to bring it up.

Let's just say... you couldn't pick two more perfect people to choose to frame me then the two who died. But, otherwise, I don't see great reasons for choosing the pair of them.
