TM2020 - Large Theme - Gay Mafia IV: TOWN WIN

[Ankamius]

btw

I explained what was going on in my team's discord and duckling told me that this game looks like a town loss

I'm inclined to believe him honestly

[Ankamius]

Well I'm right here ya know :( You more than anyone should know my opinion on where I think this is gonna go

to hell?

[MariaR]

Yeah this game was played really poorly on a mech standpoint and this town has like no teamwork atm. (Besides a select few people)

[MariaR]

I'm surprised you haven't talked about me more, but that's beside the point. Who do you want to talk about? I can't just tell my team to spit out a read since I've asked them to not read it.

[kuribo]

would it help if I yelled at somebody for a while

[Almost50]

This isn’t helpful. It never will be helpful. What exactly is the goal of this vote? To commute scum? Hint: Scum won’t do the kill with any of their scum teammates in this list. To protect a player? Hint: Scum won’t kill anyone in it either. Like, this is just taking a power and making it useless when the best way to use this is to shut up and do it silently. If scum is in the hood oh well the power is pretty useless already. If not you’re making it useless.

You are indeed reading your on game. It says right there it's a Commuters LYNCH vote. We are voting WHO TO LYNCH from that pool, not whom to commute! Also, they can't self-target.

[Ankamius]

I wish I knew how to fix that, but I think that depends on people completely switching their approach to the game and I really don't think I can cause that here like I can in other games

I have a bad feeling that we're going to have to lynch town to fix the game and it might be too late at that point

T-that was a test. I was making sure you were all reading correctly.

[MariaR]

The issue was we should've never outted hoods. That gives scum a lot more control over the 'last stand' powers. And as we can see those are pretty good. Combine that with the fact some people aren't playing and the town hasn't really had a solid gameplan for ages we're going down this snowball of a hill that will not fix itself unless something happens. Normally, I wouldn't care but it's team mafia and this is like, the important game so I kinda have to care.

[volxen]

volxen looks townier as scum

Voting to pressure me is one thing, but where is this coming from? We've played four games together: Nomination Mafia, Chain of Command 1 (where I hydra'd with Nancy), Chain of Command 2 (where I hydra'd with Nancy and Auro), and Micro 889 -- Good James Mafia (where I hydra'd with Chennisden). I'm not counting Vengeful Ghosts since I didn't really post in that game. In NM I was town and you were scum, and by the end of the game I was widely townread. In COC1 we were both town, and you and Krazy had me/Nancy as a top townread very early on in the game. Granted Nancy's posting had a lot to do with your townread on our slot in that game, but you and Krazy also picked up on individual towntells from both Nancy and I in that game. In COC2 and GJM I was scum and you were town; in COC2 you were mostly null on my posting, but you immediately started to scumread me in GJM once I started posting. I wasn't really townread in either of those scum games, whereas my slot was widely townread in NM and COC1.

So saying that I look townier as scum doesn't make sense even if we are just going by the four games that you and I have played together.

[MariaR]

I'm getting starry night pings and the more I think about it the more agitated I'm becoming.
Side note: Nom says there pt has a rly good power and suddenly that pt becomes a hot topic lynch wise. hmmmmm. Guess where I don't wanna lynch! (Even if I don't like how nom reacted around me at all)
Time to go ask my team some people since we need 'takes'

[Almost50]

Hot take: Maria is TOWN (but I'll deny I ever said that if asked for an official statement)

[Ankamius]

I'm surprised you haven't talked about me more, but that's beside the point. Who do you want to talk about? I can't just tell my team to spit out a read since I've asked them to not read it.

well the things that are really throwing me off are:

1. how many people are scumreading nomnomnom when I'm townreading her
2. how many people are scumreading volpe when I'm townreading him
3. how many people are hard disagreeing on my FL townread
3. how many people are saying I'm not town or not acting like myself

something's just fundamentally off about this game and I can't pinpoint exactly where it is

I feel like a lot of the game is TvT fighting
I feel like people are tunneling too hard on things that don't functionally matter
I feel like there's no actual THREATS in this town

like

scum have the advantage in this game but I don't think town is in a position to really recognize and reverse that, and I can't dig into it myself since part of it is trying to figure out why the hell I'm not showing as town despite being sure at multiple points by now that I've been pretty blatantly town in my posting

[MariaR]

would it help if I yelled at somebody for a while

Oh, baby, we're coming in with the throw backs huh

[kuribo]

Pick someone and I'll whip my dick out

[MariaR]

Well Ank, I'm pretty sure your town and I think most of the game is townreading me (I never thought I'd make that statement in my life) so, if I agree with you (and I do already to some extent) I can help out. Because I don't really want to keep going down the path we're going on. We're focusing so much on mechs. What we should be doing is shutting up and playing mafia at the moment. Mech talk isn't useful this hood talk is anti town. At first I wanted to call people scum for it but so many people are focused on it I guess I'm just not getting the hint across.

1: I'll comment on this later
2: Volpe is null for me, mostly because I've had pings on both sides
3: Lol trying to read FL. As I said, wait to see if FL is trying to take an advantage in the game state and look at flips. I feel like he's one of the players you need flips to solve with.
4: What are the TvT fights?
5: Y E S
6: Lol threats hahaha
pedit: Don't give me this amount of power Kuri I'll go mad

Hey, sounds really familiar to what my team said

[nomnomnom]

What's up with the pessimism?

[kuribo]

pedit: Don't give me this amount of power Kuri I'll go mad

Of course you'd go mad with power. Who wouldn't?


You ever try going mad without power? It's boring, nobody listens.

[Dr Easy Bake]

How fun. Glad all our time got put into that. Thanks Ele.

VOTE: DV

I'm bigger than life, my name in the lights
I'm the number one chick, I don't need no hype

Yas, the real you is back!

[MariaR]

This town has no teamwork
it's focusing on mechs and I hate that
we talked about NKA and I hate that.
We outted hoods and thats' a pro scum move. We're like checking off more stuff that sucks.

Wanna know what I'd love to do rn? Play some mafia. Let's talk about EP let's talk about Dave let's talk about the fact the commuter hood keeps getting brought up when their power is 'rly good' is rly rly scummy. Anyone with me? No? Okay.

[Dr Easy Bake]

Middle of the road who get to sit in the corner and watch while my mom bangs the guys in the top list and tells them they're pigs
Dr Easy Bake

Sign me up. But what's the policy on getting myself off during this?

Also, we're 9 days into 2020 and this is a part of the best post of the year. kuribo the GOAT.

[Dr Easy Bake]

Also, just wanna point out that I lost my vote for today because of some action last night...

[nomnomnom]

Sure what do you want to say about those things?

pedit: Why on earth would people vote DEB to be voteless, mind blown

[kuribo]

You misunderstand the kink; the humiliation is what's getting you off.
