Mini Normal 2141: The World of Tomorrow [Game over!]

[Nauci]

UNVOTE:

I like what I am seeing so far.

P-Edit: Nauci, have not played in almost 2 years anywhere.

Oh god that means it's been 2 years, not 1, for me as well

We were in that completely infuriating 226 page Large Normal 208 where TwoInAMillion, as vanilla town, single handedly won the game for scum and put himself at the top of my NEVER-AGAIN player list

Technically we were in Newbie 1863 together but only in that you replaced brassherald who replaced me

Hmmm, looking at the post game for 208 I see very little TiaM discussion. Maybe personal bias?

If you look at the player/roles list and then read TIAM's post history, you'll maybe somewhat understand the agony that was that game, because I am pretty sure every good town player wanted to shake his brain back into his skull

Back when I cared about winning...

Oh no I've forgotten how to format in online forums it's been so long

I'm Good With These Guys

• votato - Based on 55, 80, 175, 180, they have a natural reaction of trying to give town more information and have what I consider natural trains of thought that are explained easily which would be very difficult for scum to fake

I'm Aight With These Ones

• Blair - I almost put her up at the top but I'm worried I'm biased her because we have similar trains of thought/facetiousness. Seems like a lot of explaining her trains of thought and active detective work here though.

Iono, Man ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

• Gammagooey - insufficient content to judge
  
• Quick - no read here ever; I don't know if I'll ever be able to read Quick but certainly unlikely in day 1
  
• VP Baltar - No read here yet
  
• CantLynchAPuppy - Both Good (33, 51) and Bad (53, 123) Vibes

Eeehhhhhhhh

• NoPowerOverMe - I bristled because they voted me for "mindless comments" in 29 before immediately making mindless comments themselves in 32 and 34. Scummy. Also 56 seems disingenuous–isn't it common knowledge that scum like to throw out weak town reads to look town? 96 and 107 and maybe 115 feel like they are knee-jerk criticisms that come from a scum perspective more than genuine town reaction. I don't have much read on the rest of his comments so this is a weak read.

Real Iffy Right Here

• Atarashi Hajimari - Well this is really weird. I had them in the TR category from early interactions plus what Blair said in 152, but when I went to their post list in this thread, suddenly I was seeing scummy behavior patterns. At first I thought the L-1 debacle was a genuine oops by a town trying to count things, but all of the interactions afterwards from 99 to 106 to 117 119 128 seem like a lot of replies to
  avoid
  ever explaining a train of thought for his vote back at the beginning. I like 174, but in 154 they question why Blair would TR them for something which is the kind of thing that I've definitely awkwardly panicked and said when I have played my bumbling and inept, panicky scum game.
  
• mavsfan41 - I'm still wildly suspicious because he made up a justification that was debunked in the same exact post for a vote during just RVS and it felt thoroughly like nervous/awwkard scum over-justification. Especially because just after the post and getting called out, they've since disappeared from the game.

He was talking about the gamestate IIRC.

I should be an easy read. Always have been according to me.

Not for me! I remember reading your other games trying to figure you out for that one and maybe one other game where I swear I was dead ass convinced you were scum but you were town so as far as I'm concerned, I'm Lickety Quickety Illiteratey

[Nauci]

@Atarashi: Do you genuinely scum read the people who questioned your "L-2" vote for questioning it? If so, do you scum read NPOM or votato or both because of it? In addition, what WAS your reasoning for that vote, regardless of where it was in the vote order?

I meant my Town game should be unmistakable. Never been good at lying, but I can fake emotions well. I would really rather not have a Scummy meta anymore, if you get what I am saying. I hope I have developed that way. Being emotionally reactive is a drain and it's hard to fake that all the time as Scum.

[ready2rock]

Well I was like "oh maybe my game will start soon lemme check before I go to sleep" and turns out there's 9 pages whoops

...

RQS is better.

Why not ask the questions yourself then?

What is everyone's experience playing Mafia here?

Played on here and another forum quite a few years ago, then decided to come back earlier this year because I missed it. Did a newbie game to get myself back into the swing of things and now here we are!

Anything of more substance than that will have to wait until it's not 4 AM and I actually have reading comprehension.

[VP Baltar]

your post style is also rather different. you are usually an analytical player with long wallposts. here you are asking questions and pressing people.

So you find him less aggressive this game? Mind linking the games you read? I'd like to take a look myself.

[VP Baltar]

slightly town-reading Atarashi for the L-1 fake out interactions, which makes VPB look pretty bad

Excuse me? I was not involved in any of that.

What are your thoughts on votato?

[Quick]

VOTE: votato

EZ solve.

The 1-scum solve 'doe.

My bad. You answered this. That's what I get for posting as I read

[Quick]

Pocket attempt: denied.

I think we have different definitions of "natural train of thought"


Speaking of which, I don't get them scum vibes from Atarashi either.

There are A LOT of people in this game I want to hear more from.

Look at my recent games for a laugh.

Who supplies your coffee, and where can I get some?

You have experience with votato I see. How does he compare this game?

Can't talk about it.

[VP Baltar]

Fair enough.

Thoughts on Atarashi?

[mavsfan41]

Quick’s timeline is strange. Votes Blair in 191 (sheeps NPOM’s vote in 189 on Bair). Then little development and Quick then votes Atarashi 20 posts later citing posts made BEFORE his Blair vote.

Read progression here is strange to me. And the Atarashi vote piggybacks of Nauci’s posts throwing suspicion on Atarashi. This strikes me as a diversion where Nauci’s 207 points to Quick’s sheep vote and Quick is trying push the Atarashi read from Nauci’s posting. Quick just ISO’ing Atarashi to appear to have justification in a vote here.

The timeline is -> Quick votes Blair. Nothing really develops. Nauci pushes Atarashi (Quick does nothing). Nauci then points out Quick’s sheep. Quick then votes Nauci’s other scum read with forced reasoning imo.

@Nauci - that was annoying and I was fighting with autocorrect the whole time to not screw up people’s names.

Game mechanics

Day

• Days begin with a deadline of
  240 hours
  (10 days).
  
• Days will end when one of the following events occurs:
  • The deadline is reached.
    
  • A lynch (or no-lynch) is achieved.
    
  • A town-aligned player is modkilled.
• Votes should be made via the vote tag: “[vote]<playername>[/vote]” or “[v]<playername>[/v]”. Full player names or initial segments thereof are preferred.
  
• When more than half of living players are voting for the same player, that player will be lynched and the day will end. Votes are irrevocable once a majority is achieved.
  
• You may vote not to lynch by voting for “No lynch”. When half or more of living players do so, the day will end without a lynch.
  
• If the day reaches deadline without a majority, there will be no lynch.
  
• I will interpret malformed votes according to my own discretion. In general, if it looks like a vote, I will probably count it as a vote. I reserve the right to edit malformed votes for easier counting.
  
• When a majority vote has been achieved but not yet recognized by the moderator, the game is in
  twilight
  . Players, including the lynchee, may continue to post during this period.
  
• Under certain circumstances I may elect to extend the deadline. I will announce this in thread if it occurs.

Night

• Nights will last
  48 hours
  , or until all living players give me their approval to end the night early.
  
• During the night, you should be unable to post in the public game thread. If for some reason you are able, doing so is still against the rules.
  
• Mafia night abilities should be submitted in the Mafia's private thread. Factional kills must specify which mafioso carries out the kill.
  
• Town night abilities should be submitted via PM.
  
• Use of active night abilities is optional unless otherwise specified in the role PM; if no action is submitted, no action will occur.

---

Activity requirements

• Players who do not confirm within
  48 hours
  of receiving their role PM will be replaced.
  
• Players who do not post for
  48 hours
  in a single game-day will incur a prod.
  
• Players who do not post for
  24 hours
  following a prod will be replaced.
  
• Players who incur three prods will be replaced.
  
• At my discretion, excessive “prod-dodging” may result in a mod warning and subsequently in disregard of future dodges.
  
• If for any reason you are temporarily unable to meet these requirements, you may declare V/LA status
  in thread
  and be excused. V/LA declarations must include a definite end date.
  
• Notwithstanding V/LA status, any player who does not post at all for
  7 days
  of consecutive day time will be replaced.
  
• These are minimal requirements, not recommendations; please keep the game active.

Are you saying you don't get a read from those posts, or, specifically, that you're getting scummy, forced vibes from them?

[Nauci]

The one time I mobile post at 6 AM and I've somehow quoted the OP

Wth MS ლ(ಠ益ಠ)ლ

@vpb I don't remember the specifics of why I said that reaction any more so I'll go back over it and respond once I wake up (much) later and get back to my pc. Weren't they voting you at that time or something?

[Gammagooey]

My strongest opinion so far is that Puppy looks surprisingly town for how early it is - his/her posting seems very open and straightforward so far and I think that kind of mindset is much more likely to come from town than scum

I like Blair's playstyle but she feels competent enough for what she's posted so far to come from town or scum. She's putting in the work tho so she'll prob be readable before too long

VOTE: Nauci
Not particularly confident in it but she's a fine first 'real' vote - NPOM feels like he/she'd be a good early target for scum given their abrasiveness so far and doubling down on mavs' RVS post having a justification and saying that he disappeared 12 hours into the game seems dumb.
like yeah there's mavs literally now because it's morning and it makes sense

Might have more at lunch (which is in like 3 hours since some of ya'll seem like non-East Coasters)

[Nauci]

Jk I looked it up on mobile

Since I was town reading atarashi at the time of the post as well as Blair, then I was more inclined to believe their reasoning and reactions in 77 and 79>.

NOW it's time for this nocturnal insomniac to get some sleep.
