Mini Normal 2076: Game Over

[ChannelDelibird]

Correction: he was scumhunting in rvs to make himself look good.

This whole 'case' on Gamma from Redemption circa page 14 and the subsequent 'it's PP too for objecting to this!' are obviously nonsense but, eh, sure, I'll take it for town. Just slightly I'mma-ignore-all-this town.

Also, jesus christ, if a vig wanted to shoot Not_Mafia, I wouldn't get in their way.

You're like 4 pages late with that commentary

Quick rundown of players on whom I have any kind of opinion so far:

Redemption - I like the conviction, if not the reasoning. Believes in his vote.

Performer - I am slightly weirded out by the strength of his reaction to PP's asking about who his townreads were. I obviously understand the notion of reading people you know well (I get a lot of similar reads with the other UK players) but, man, there's so little there. It just reads so quick for such a nothing post. I wouldn't vote Performer over this, because it's so hard for me to judge the meta-sense between two players with whom I haven't spent much time, but it's in the back of my mind.

Detective Pikachu - Says he thinks the game has stalled but isn't really doing very much to pick it up again.

Lucky Otter - Seems pretty legit so far, but I'm not a big fan of the 'any takers?' when voting LUV. Diplomacy isn't really a thing that town need to do at this stage of Day 1.

Vorkuta - I got a bit of a townread off the self-voting stuff. The timing of when he stopped doing it felt like town who was trying to make things happen but realised it wasn't helping and got on with better work, whereas scum would probably have held onto it for a bit longer.

MaryJoLisa - Feel like I'm gonna have trouble reading this one. The more she posts, the more I suspect that the initial basis for my vote does not fit very well.

UNVOTE: MJL, VOTE: Detective Pikachu

I was catching up, didn't know if I'd have the time to put together my full 'here is the state of my reads' post before I entered prod range, so decided to just post some thoughts as I went instead

You know what’s cool? Not talking about rep outs.

That’s cool. Also cool is discussing things relevant to the game.

this post confuses me on so many levels

[PenguinPower]

I'm not sure what's confusing about that post, but I find it intriguing that that was the post that you chose to comment on after reading the thread.

[Psyche]

first replace-outs are plainly relevant to practically every game they happen in and second i can't really see how discussing replace-outs isn't almost always cool-neutral

[Not_Mafia]

Never play on MU

[Psyche]

as it seems like he has site flaked.

Now dance for us

you've gotta know that this kind of voteprod stuff never works when it's this transparent
but i suppose maybe you don't really gotta

Slot repped out. We don't know why. Sure makes sense to discuss that!

CBD 130 comes off as a usable towntell. Redemption broke an important new rule about replacements on page 8 but his whole iso is a pretty easy town tell and honestly people not seeing that at this point come off as consequentially more suspicious to me, as they could easily be scum trying to keep the lynch as a live option. Vorkuta's 346 comes off as confident in a way I don't think scum would tend to deliberately convey, so I lean town him too, even though some of his posts suggest a degree of vanity.

A few users' isos hint at active lurking but I need to digest a little longer before I start throwing stones.

I generally don't like throwing around townreads instead of pointing at scum but that's where my head is atm and I understand that you guys are starving for content atm.

There's uncertainty in everything someone does in this thread. That's what mafia is all about...

[Psyche]

should've said ambiguity instead of uncertainty

but yeah - game is literally 100% all about generating and discussing interpretations ambiguous behaviors to make sense of the mental state of their actors

[schadd_]

hi psyche : ) how do you feel about playing non-town

[PenguinPower]

You're advocating that speculating on an NAI action that offers no path to further understanding of said action as beneficial. It's not.

I'm done talking about it at this point though, and there's plenty else to discuss.

[Psyche]

whether it's NAI is purely a matter of your own opinion though and is exactly what such speculation would serve to clarify
