I have no idea how I could have crumbed it more obviously and tried harder to save your asses from eating a n2.
Yea the facepalm was good.

But you’re better than to lose site of the count or think I wouldn’t call out an L-1 in the newb (though tbh I shouldn’t be faking a guilty either).

Were you hammer-testing or did you just give up pushing what you knew you couldn’t lynch and decide to pocket/lamist

if you think I don't brutally comb rvs for crumbs like this fishy idk what to think. if you think I kill bugs n1 here I don't know what to think. I'm still in awe you missed my crumbing earlier in this phase and *actually* thought I would counter-claim as doctor after realising you guys were masons for any reason other than trying to eat a NK.

Uncrowned doesn't have many posts at all and their readlist is mediocre at best, but I can't say shiz on that behalf lol

So my read on the bluff was correct, and what do you mean by info I shouldn't have had?

But here’s the thing, Duck. The doc claim only appears surface level town. Like you could use that argument, just like you did. But it depends on me hitting scum with my “guilty”. And scum!yoh could m ow whether or not I did that before claiming doctor.

Hammertest - the guilty flew. It'd been long enough since a vc I was aware I could get away with faking an intent=>hammer and try to get a reaction outta JV. I'd written up a post about waiting for a vc before placing a vote then went for the fancier Route.

Not super proud of it but yeah. The cop guilty is definitely more irritating in a newbie game.

VOTE: Fuz this one probably actually hits red btw Jacks response is pure unless they realised I was hammertesting. they just need to keep posting imo.

List ripped from the alive list and removed all 'confirmed' people mainly the masons and myself.

Fuzanglong - Scum
Uncrowned - Scum
eth0s - Town
the worst - Town

If the scum insists of newb!scum it's Fuz and Uncrowned. And even I wouldn't have attacked bugspray as scum so I doubt the worst or eth0s would have but the other two may as well have.

indeed
but you accept that it's either

town me trying to eat a NK, or
scum me trying to look like I'm trying to eat a nk

right? do you want me to go through my ISO and show you the moment I noticed you and fishy were masons?

I'm actually arrogant enough to say I think my scumgame is good enough to try and join in your gambit as scum, so I'd call my claim net NAI. We could work off the rest of my play instead?

Also, se!scum should theoretically know counter claiming a guilty is the highest ev.

But duck, if the facepalm is when you solved it, why do you think you missed it before? I would have thought the “brother” “master” “robe duty” “mystical” “partner” “wrong half” breadloaves were more than enough for a quacker like you even before FF explained his hammer.

Bussing Fuz? I had that slot as a SL since D1, and was planning on pressuring the slot prior to Gyro getting lynched quicker than I thought he would've.

Ethos having them as clear town is weird to me, I want to know why he thinks that because I don't see it at all yet.

I've been enjoying playing with you a lot, lately, though in fairness we haven't played together prior since like... before June. The crux of what I wanted to say post-game is if I were a newbie in this gamestate I think I'd be a bit disheartened as either alignment. I do think Fuz's posting in particular has had a frozen tonality which I would actually expect from scum who risk being cornered by a guilty - so it might have been of some use

I'm new (like completely new, I barely understand Mafia) and I joined mafiascum because I tried epicmafia and they banned me and were being mean lmao even though I told them that I was still learning :/ this seems like a more supportive environment to learn mafia :)
Anyway I am super overwhelmed by the 18 page forum for now and I will be as active as possible because I want to learn fast (but in hindsight I prob should've familiarized myself with the rules oops)
Please bear with me!

I disagree. We cooked that Gambit up together and I think we have the ability to do that because of our roles. You may not like it, but that's an after game discussion. You could easily be scum here negging our play to pluck our heart strings and AtE the fuck out of us.

I'm wondering how much we've played together suddenly - I low-key hate combing for mechanical/crumb stuff unless I like explicitly need to. I literally didn't try until fishy hit me on the head with a stale baguette d2. You probably won't take my word for it but it's one of my most insidious towntells.

I just recently finished a game where Egix used a find a word on "MEDIC" in like one of his first posts, I read his ISO like 5 times and still scumread him for it until it was pointed out to me.

^ yea, I lost sight of my general goal in these games. Idk. But let’s leave that (the nonsolving aspect) fn.

pEdit:this was at duck, but I think FF is right too. This isn’t the time.

...which is why I've downplayed how distasteful that gambit is and focused on solving the game until literally this post.

Sure thing, Fishy.

You said yourself that inactivity doesn't mean a slot should be pressured. Interesting you bring that up now.

And my readlist was at the beginning of the game and besides the incorrect read on Gyro I think has been somewhat accurate. Not sure what you're going for there.

I am just going to say that scum would know who the town are so you can't really lean on that as your saving grace.

VOTE: Fuz

Maybe you're passive town, but your playstyle seems opportunistic to me.

Also still want Ethos to explain why Fuz is "clearly town" from his POV.
