Echo Bay Grits SEO [game over]

[Vaxkiller]

although, he WAS a traitor, so unfortunately we can't clear anyone for this.

Speak for yourself, I'm claiming ALL of the town cred.

as a reminder, "bah" posts are not allowed in this game.

[Davsto]

Could someone shoot Mom please? I don't have strongman so I can't really. I'll explain how I figured that they're bp and how it links with them being scum in a bit when I have a little more time.

Actually scratch that. Strongmans will be targeted by scum because they're the biggest risk for any BP so don't out yourself.

Anyone want to join me in shooting Mom by shooting them after me? Ty in advance

im down

oh that's a shame i hope you feel better soon

[Davsto]

Anyway here we go random yay

shoot Mom

Hey guys, just posting in and saying that I'm still paying attention to this game. I've been mentally drained lately and not as intensely interested in Mafia but this is situational, and not because of this game.

It's finals week for me, and after next week my brother who has been stationed in South Korea for 6 months now will be coming home. Coupling this with a few other things that have divided my attention, I'll still be posting at least 1-2 times daily, but I may go VLA within the next few days for a stretch of time. When I mean VLA, that doesn't mean I've completely disappeared unless I specify that I have, but that I'm busy and will have less content in my posts.

In the same breath, I'm pretty aggravated with the game state. I feel like there's only a margin of people going with the voting idea, and I'm getting tired of being written off as

"too helpful"

or anything along the lines of being suspected because I'm putting in

EFFORT

.

Also, someone flipping scum is not a fucking surprise. If you actually read the signup thread you'd see this:

Echo Bay Grits SEO is a game where the primary mechanic is daykilling other players. each day, each living player will have access to one kill, and the day will end when no one has a kill remaining. there will be one or more non-town factions, and at least one of those factions will have at least two players who know each others' identities. each non-town faction may have one or more traitors, here used to refer to a player who knows what faction they're a member of but not who else is a member of their faction. the non-traitor members of the non-town factions will know how many traitors their faction has. each night, each non-town faction will receive a kill to be performed by one of the non-traitor members; if they target one of their own traitors with this, that player will instead be converted to a non-traitor member. during the day, kills happen one at a time (meaning that if someone else has submitted a kill, you can't submit another one until the first role flips).

Hey

Screenplay

, now that your excuse to do nothing is no longer valid

((Even though it never was if you read the game.))

What are your reads and stances? What do you think about the people in the townbloc?

At the moment, I do see the possibility of scum having been townblocc'ed, but I generally townread the group that's in there and I don't see the huge point behind looking into the group right now when half of the living playerlist haven't really stated their positions on it.

P-Edit

Anyway here we go random yay

shoot Mom

...So you randomly shoot the person scumreading you? OK.

At least engage with the person -_- Ugh.

Mom

; are there any stronger reads you have alongside

Dav

? Or is that your most notable thought given the gamestate?

[Not_Mafia]

22 pages fuck me

shoot: momrangal

your shot wont go through until the first one is resolved.

[Taly]

Soon, I'm going to reread the thread and give an in depth readslist while stating the people I think is town and should not be shot. I'll also reevaluate the group of people I've listed previously.

However, I will say my strongest townreads right now are

Creature

for his activity and him looking at discussion points to gamesolve, and

Sando

, because he stuck with his protection circle idea and above him orchestrating a sense of order into the town, he used up his shot to defend his ideas.

Almost50

: You haven't been as vocal in this game from what I've remembered. Could you elaborate on your stance of

Sando

and I?

randomidget

: What do you think about

TW

being BP?

[Momrangal]

Ohh hey!

When when it's resolved do that again and when I'm shown as town shoot Dav

[Momrangal]

Dav and Vax are also scum.

Also I guess I get to see what this creature person is all about

Add Brie as scum this game

Still.

The way Sando is playing cheerleader is not something I'm incredibly fond of. I don't know if that's just personality or otherwise

[Momrangal]

Im still not really seeing it with Creature

[Taly]

What makes you second guess him?

[Momrangal]

I'm not strong town reading him and from what I hear I am supposed to

[Taly]

My biggest thing is that I'd picture

Creature

being less involved or listening to the events in the game as scum.

He's noted stances on how he believes shots would most likely be used, and he also goes as far as to grant reads. He's minimizing the field of people he believes should be shot through PoE.

He's not voting or using the townbloc, but he's preventing the randomness of kills, and adding perception to the game.

Yeah, I'm gonna hold my shot.

I will say, I'd like to see him add more to his reads. But with what I stated and this quote, I don't see the point in suspecting him at the moment.

How do you feel about

the worst

,

Mom

?

[Davsto]

...So you randomly shoot the person scumreading you? OK.

No lmao I was talking to randomidget (the user) who'd agreed to shoot Mom after me dw

[Taly]

So, was shooting

Mom

solely to test the BP claim?

I don't even know your read regarding this.

[light_ganski]

Agh sorry I didn't get here earlier, spent all yesterday/this afternoon working on an essay. Still catching up (not at page 22 yet) but approve of this PRICKS idea and would like to join.

[StefanB]

Hello to the 2 new players.
Screen is the one who pushed that we are all town.
I think we can be happy that at last one scum finally died.

[Ausuka]

We now know that not everyone is town, which was probably always the overwhelmingly likely thing (yes, the post I made where I said we were all VTs was a joke) so, that means we have quite a few scum left. Generally, around a quarter of players are scum, so it makes sense that we may have 5 players on each scumteam; and yes, I am saying this is 2-sided multiball. Firstly, the flip of SnarkySnowman as "Echo Bay Grits" rather than just "Mafia" (which was the team name in Mafia Month) implies there is more than one mafia team. Secondly, the flavour implies this too; we have the bit where the munitions company sent people out, and they probably have agents among us, and are the second game. Obviously, Toby Determined and his Echo Bay Grits company are the second team.

How many scum are there? Without knowing all the roles, it's hard to guess, but I think it's likely to be 5 on each team. Around 25% of players being scum-aligned in any given game is normal. This isn't relevant now, but as we kill more and more scum, it's likely to become relevant. I'd also like to note here that since Echo Bay Grits have a traitor, the Ammunitions company probably does too.

So- who's scum? {Taly, Ausuka, Sando, Creature, Vaxkiller} probably aren't, {Bins, the worst, BBMolla} I kinda think are probably town. Literally everyone else are very possible scum and I think those players should probably do more things. In particular, I'm looking at the PRICKS bloc for remaining scum. They can join a bloc that prevents town from shooting them at no cost- what kind of scum wouldn't take the offer? {Wingedcatgirl, hebichan, TheBrie, Theta Alpine} are all COMPLETELY legitimate slots and I see absolutely no reason why shooting any of them should ever be a scumclaim- in fact, I think that if you shoot someone for shooting one of them, that's likely to make you scum trying to shoot a townie. We shouldn't be protecting scum from being dayvigged because some players wanted to have a shootout later than everyone else.
There are almost certainly scum in low-activity players, too, and that goes for ANY game, but ESPECIALLY this one. I reccomend looking in {Not_Mafia, light_ganski, hebichan, TheBrie (who is a borderline case w/ activity but I like her for scum anyway), Theta Alpine, katokashi, wingedcatgirl} because IMO they're great candidates for scum players.
But right now, if I want anyone dead, it'd be Srceenplay. The gimmick where he insists we're all town just feels like a fake scum thing to me. It's overdone and he has far more conviction in it than what I think any townie should realistically have to the point where it's totally unnatural. Like, is 398 a real thought? It's basically Srceenplay engaging with the game normally except he adds "OH YEAH BTW WE'RE ALL TOWNIES LOL" at the end. Like, why write this as town who legitimately believes that we're all echo bay citizens? It'd be interesting to see what he does when he realises that he was wrong about us all being townies, in any case.

[StefanB]

I completly agree with the shot of Srccenplay, please someone do it!!!!

[Bins]

hey we did it
