Newbie 2023 - Hedgehogs - Day 3

And a middle of the road NK with little information tells me that Scum are perfectly happy with the game state. Which means we need to push outside of whatever the leading wagons were yesterday.

[notscience]

Weird post.

I agree with the mentality, but weird post.

[The Bulge]

I also think it’s a bit early to be making definitive statements about who is Town based on wagon composition

We can speculate about why Scum perform certain NK’s all day long, but I’ve never found that to be all that useful.

i think there is a lot of information here if andre flips red

pedit and

Which means we need to push outside of whatever the leading wagons were yesterday.

[Andresvmb]

The Bulge has been somewhat tunnely of my slot. I should probably read that slot a little closer.

[Andresvmb]

@notscience I wish I could read your mind, but I can’t. What’s weird about my post?

[Bell]

Besides Nash not doing or saying anything of note, why is Nash scum?

Andre what is your read of bulge?

Possible, but alternative explanation was that There was a town block forming between IV, me and Walter that needed to be broken asap.

[Bell]

I'm aware that me being alive points away from andre, but since andre pointed that out, I'm not sure he gets points for that.

[shellyc]

A lot of posts have been made since I was asleep

I've done a quick skim. Andres, I think Bulge is pushing you because yesterday you were the other leading wagon. IV flipped town, and you have a high chance of being scum.

Nash has been lurking, and parking your vote on a lurking person isn't getting any info, but I suppose I could go with this compromise eliminate if there aren't any options.

I don't know how much NKA is relevant in scumhunting. I don't think the night kill actually gives us THAT much info (just my opinion)

[Bell]

NKs are pretty relevant because mafia always have a reason for who they kill. I have no idea how to properly interpret an NK though.

Me neither. I guess scum wouldn't kill someone that has been townreading / helping them. I see how that might be relevant. Let me read the wiki for how to do that.

[Bell]

Shelly, how do you feel about getting bussed as mafia?

[notscience]

I used to primarily kill people who were townreading me actually explicitly for that wifom

[shellyc]

Shelly, how do you feel about getting bussed as mafia?

What does this refer to? Why this question... all of a sudden? Trying to bait a scumslip? (which will never happen, 'cause I'm a townie)

In general I am fine with being bussed. I avoid bussing though - scum are the informed minority and my partners would usually come off as more town than I think.

[notscience]

In your scum game before did you draw scum with an experienced player, shelly

Yes. They got replaced out after 10 or so posts. The replacement got limmed. I had to deal with a 1v7.
It was Newbie 2019 if you want to metadive.

[Bell]

I wanted to see if you would lie to me about basic information on a position I noted you being defensive on in your first newbie game here with Micc and then Word123.
You asked Micc why you were being pressured by him.

You seem self-aware about being baited into a scum slip.

[shellyc]

I was basing this on my chat mafia experiences. I was defensive with MiccWord because I had no idea what to do in my first forum game.

This is near verbatim something experienced scum tells their newbie buddy and I don’t see anything similar in the mafia PT over there about it

Hmm

[shellyc]

I am a fairly experienced chat mafia player. I don't know why you would judge me on my "SE-like" answer.

[notscience]

My thought process was that there’s someone coaching you this game who used that exact phrasing.

Not confident on it though.

[shellyc]

My thought process was that there’s someone coaching you this game who used that exact phrasing.

I was experienced at chat mafia, and spent a lot of time reading the wiki about forum play. Nobody has "coached" me to answer like that, I can assure you.

[notscience]

Maybe the wrong term.

I typically drop that advice at game start.

We can circle back later it’s not really important currently
