Newbie 1951 (Day 4)

[teacher]

I guess our game experiences have been very different.

Who's genuinely scumreading me though?

This was a serious question though.

I’m v unsure. The thread greeting and early game strikes me as illogical, but I don’t see the scum motivation for continuing the “hiding” discussion. I can see paranoid town at points, including in some of the random shade throwing, and some of the words you’ve been using as not being fully aware of the insinuations thy carry. I haven’t voted you for a reason.

[emps]

Choo choo

VOTE: farkran

VOTE: farkran

L-1

me idk who else. in the past it was sushi (i think), mena and i.

[emps]

ah shit i was multiquoting for it then i got distracted midway through by the new posts

[emps]

all i see is weird and backwards logic and shade throwing

[emps]

oh yeah and the blatant misreps but like whatever

[emps]

Now i look like a good girl from an anime i like. Also hello to all the newly arrived.

My readings so far:

Selynee - town 70% very proactive
Menalque - town 50% mafia 50% trollish
teacher - mafia 60% too serious to be town PR
notmyspam - town 70% plays like expert town
sushi - town 50% mafia 50% trollish
emps - town 65% aggressive play

Other two have yet to speak, 80% at least one mafia hiding in there

UNVOTE:

VOTE: teacher

why is being serious scummy? what changed between theese posts that turned Selynee & I into SRs? why on earth is nmsa 70% town rn? what part of his play felt "expert" to you?

[teacher]

all i see is weird and backwards logic and shade throwing

This is often town indicative. Scum has to be able to actually sell. Town, esp newb town, is truly paranoid and often jumps down the rabbit hole to twisted logic. I suppose hike Menalque has been trending down on fark, I’ve been trending the other way into building a consistent - if different - worldview.

[Menalque]

I’m scumreading one of (emps, frak) but I don’t know who yet

UNVOTE:

[emps]

Menalque
Sushi Martyr
EpicCreeper9002
Farkran
Selynee
skitter30
teacher
NotMySpamAccount

im scumreading two of the above, but i dont know who yet

[EpicCreeper9002]

VOTE: emps

I really don't like emps' reactions to Farkran's attacks. Most notably, he seems to be getting desperate in his recent posts (specifically 303, 304, and 305).

Also, what point are you trying to make with that "scumreading two of the above" post?

[Menalque]

I think I’d say I’m kind of at:

Sushi, teacher, skitt (conditionally) all town

Selynee is pretty null

(Emps, fark)(NMSA, creeper) 1 scum in each prob

[skitter30]

ok catching up now!

[Menalque]

Unless I come round to emps v fark as TvT in which case selynee would go into my scumpool

[emps]

VOTE: emps

im trying to joke about menalque fence sitting on fark/i

how do i seem to be getting desperate? there are obvious flaws in his logic, and he has been blatantly misrepping me.

[emps]

ok catching up now!

dont make it a wallpost

please oh god dont do this to me

[Menalque]

Just gonna throw it out there now that I think skitt is gonna accuse me of buddying her and SR me for it

[skitter30]

With no investigations available so far, and not knowing any player from previous games, i'd say both votes are for the sake of information fishing. It's ok, but i'd rather hear some reasoning first. I am personally voting you for picking me, i could have voted Menalque for randomly voting a different player, but you have chosen me.

this is ... oddly defensive for someone who understands what an rvs vote is

==

No, my vote is bc skitt is conf!scum actually

heya menalque, what's doing?

==

Should I get used to games taking this long to start?

VOTE: Sushi Martyr because something smells fishy

this one actually seemed to take longer than usual to start, not sure why; the whole site seems to be in a bit of a cool down

=

Anything goes, as long as it makes sense and we can get something out of it. Menalque said skitt is confirmed scum. I'd like to verify.

ok

a) how do you think he'd know that i was confscum at this point?
b) how is voting me going to verify this?

=

Might have finally found a game I'm motivated to play. ahs anyone got experience with the new setup yet? selynee seems slightly scum, but not much. oh, and farkran is town I think. not sure tho.

huh
i'm actually feeling the exact opposite

[skitter30]

ok catching up now!

dont make it a wallpost

please oh god dont do this to me

sorry, i used to be known for wallposts and then i was in a pithy posting stage for a bit but now i think i'm reverting back to wallposts

i try to make them readable tho

Just gonna throw it out there now that I think skitt is gonna accuse me of buddying her and SR me for it

ok, why do you think i'm going to do this?

[skitter30]

i guess i can either do a spamming catchup or a wall-post per couple of pages type thing, idk

and i'm around now so if people want to chat while i read lmk

[teacher]

Walls are fine by me, but you do you. I’d love to chat but would rather not influence your catchup so do that and I’ll be around (likely, the fam returns in a bit)

[Menalque]

I just have that feeling that that’s how it’ll go

I was actually hoping you’d finish the catch up before you saw that so then I’d have been able to brag that I called it but eh

Also, I would prefer wallposts from you

[Menalque]

I’d like to chat but I think it’ll prob be more fruitful after you finish your catch up if I’m not asleep.by then

[skitter30]

VOTE: NotMySpamAccount

I like your profile picture.

I like the addition of masons, RC did a good job.

I've never played in a game with masons, will be interesting to see how it goes.

Also, hi, everyone!

bleh these is the sort of 'hi i'm popping in and going to make an rvs vote when there's already content instead of engaging with any of it' sort of post that i find scummy

=

Menalque looking more and more like a troll.

I'd still like to hear from the silent people though, i guess i'll wait until they get back or something else pops up.

um why are you dismissing menalque as a troll here, i'm not sure he's done much troll-y at this point?

=

1. What is your experience at Mafia
2. How do you play as town
3. How do you play as scum
4. What do you think gives away a player as scum or tow
5. Time zone/utc/typical posting hours

1. a lot at this point. i've been playing since ~ march 2017 and have played ... many games. on a bit of a slowdown/semi-hiatus rn
2. by asking a lot of questions and trying to see if i can track people's thought processes and if they make sense to me holistically; i feel like scum have to make bs up and it doesn't usually flow as a consistent thought process, so i focus on whether or not what people are posting makes sense *to them* if that makes sense, whehter or not it makes sense to me
3. by being more 'townie' then everyone else and pocketing people
4. if they're internally consistent and seem to be approaching the game from a consistent mindset
+ meta, i'm a big believer in meta
5. est; mostly after work (i have a 9-5 office job), sometimes at work if it's slow and i'm bored, i'm v/la fridays and saturday

=

emps feels kinda townie i think?

[skitter30]

yeah so doing the walling catch-up type thing, i'll kinda pay attention to what's going on in the mean time but yeah

I understand that me being a newbie here could trigger the experts here into thinking i was genuinely believing some of the early rvs claims. I might have played poorly since i overlooked that possibility. However, try to stick to the facts and read my posts from both a town and a scum point of view, i believe you will learn more than you expect to.

My current read of skitter is 60% town.
