Micro 955: Variant Nomination Mafia (Game Over)

[Nahdia]

Execution Vote 1.04

hellbooks (1):

Raya36

PookyTheMagicalBear (0):

Raya36 (0):

Dunnstral (2):

Yukino, hellbooks

Not Voting (4):

Nash, Dunnstral, PookyTheMagicalBear, Varsoon

With 7 players alive, it takes 4 to decide an execution via majority.
Deadline is in (expired on 2020-07-07 16:54:09), at which point the execution will be decided via plurality.
With no clear plurality, the mafia team will privately break any ties.

[hellbooks]

And most of your posts between are similar or fluff (I chose those just because they are larger posts with more responses)

feels like a really disingenuous thing to push someone for honestly
just like thinking about it

let's kill someone already

well i'm all for it. i thirst for blood

Why do you townread Raya?

well hold off on that honestly, lol
but i had raya as town on early game gut and then when she was like "hey pooky so who's scum between dunn and hellbooks" (the thing unsaid being that she's like not even an option) felt like town brazenness
but yeah reevaluating

[Raya36]

What's disingenuous about it. That's a way scum could play and you're doing it.

I don't consider the koba slot or me an option from my POV. Its between you and Dunn.

[Varsoon]

We're closing in on only 48 hours left.
I expect everyone's next posts to include a vote for the slot they think is most likely to flip scum.
Some explanation of the vote should be included.
I'm still not sold on the DkKoba slot and the replace in hasn't done anything to build confidence there despite being given time to do so.
The response of the game having weird "flow" when there's plenty of engagement before and after the Execution phase strikes me as not trying to take any hard stances while refusing to really play catchup since the slot's current position is one that's not being pushed anymore.
I'm still about 70% confidence on this, but it's better than shooting in the dark:
VOTE: PookyTheMagicalBear

If it flips town, though, I'm going to be fairly critical of Raya (for pumping the breaks on this wagon at awkward times, among other things) and Dunnstral (for coasting out when it seemed like focus was much more on DkKoba but doing nothing to help push what he may've known to be a townflip).

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

when I flip town can you kill yourself? thanks

[Varsoon]

Do you mean in the game itself?
Or are you literally telling me, another human being, to commit suicide?

[Varsoon]

'cus, homie, regardless, that's a pretty toxic response to having a single vote put on you in an environment where a majority of players have voiced they think your slot is town.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

of course in the game

[Varsoon]

Still a dramatic thing to say.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

what why would you think I'd want you to die IRL that's wild

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

i mean put your life behind the vote - when you're wrong - you lead a town wagon on yourself and become next day's lynch.

[Varsoon]

Ain't the first time someone, over mafia, because I've been pushing them, has told me to kill myself (or worse).
Also, nah, I'm not going to throw the game because I had a single wrong read.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

like i dunno how you think I want you to KYS IRL from that line - I've literally never said anything to you in this game at all.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

i mean you're barely pushing me. I don't even feel tickled at this point

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

I'm just saying don't throw your vote like it is meaningless - put some intention and thought behind it - pretend if you're wrong there are some actual consequences.

[Varsoon]

If anything, take this as the fire under your ass to engage with what's been posted and help this lazy, half-present town come together in a way that they haven't yet.

P-EDIT: It's a nightless/no-kill game and the proper response fitting in-game mechanics would be 'vote yourself' or 'get lynched/executed D2'.
You hit me with a 'kill yourself', so, y'know. I had to parse what you actually meant.
As for my vote, it's not meaningless. It's on you with intent for lynch and with thought rendered.
There are consequences if I'm wrong. We're one mislynch down and can only afford two more. I then have to vindicate myself tomorrrow for leading on a mislynch or I end up in the fire and we're two mislynches down. That's the risk I'm willing to take over this.

[Varsoon]

You can't say "pretend if you're wrong there are some actual consequences" when my wincon literally requires scum to be removed from game, dude.
Town executions ARE the consequences.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

do you care about winning dude?

[Varsoon]

Yes, which is why I need to remove you.

[Varsoon]

Like, you understand that in order for town to win, they have to vote for scum, right?

[Varsoon]

Also, Pooky, I suggest you do actually read up, catch up, etc. and lay a vote soon.

Deadline is coming and, given plurality rules, the scum team gets to essentially decide the Execute if we've ever got a tie.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

but I'm town

so why are you voting for me?

[Varsoon]

I'm convinced otherwise.
I could swing Raya, though, and a huge part of me is tempted to due to how hard I feel like I've been tunnel-visioned to your slot and that I'm reading DkKoba's replace out as one motivated by personal feelings, which leads me to believe his flailing was NAI and his play was just, y'know. Bad play. :/
Or, fuck it, I could lynch Dunnstral, but then I'm pretty much going to hate myself if that flips green.
At this point, it feels like my thoughts on anything aren't really regarded anyway.

[Varsoon]

My B, they're slot/they're play* Forgot pronouns. :///

[Varsoon]

And grammar, apparently.
