Xenoblade 2 Mafia: Game Over

[Cabd]

i am way too smooth brain to understand what everyone is saying right now if ill be completely honest but i think we could use a list of people whove claimed (not specific claims, not necessary) and try reading people within the list

Do you have any completed games either here or on other sites or is this pretty much you just jumping in for it right into the deep end?

haha this is just a strategy ive used before

narrowing down the list of people i need to think about really helps my performance

I claimed BLADE

(not specific claims, not necessary)

Okay so you've played elsewhere but not here is that correct? Humor me I promise I'm going somewhere with this

[Battle Mage]

I hope much like Xenoblade 2 where it gets good in 15-20 so too will the thread

Cracked me up

Spoiler:

you got no chance

[SirCakez]

sooooo I just remembered that in Chromavalon I actually knew BM was scum from my role >.<
That does not change that he is playing like he did in that game

[Battle Mage]

P-edit: 15-20 hours

I had dental work, I'm a little loopy

or 15-20 pages? optimistic still

[ManWithNoName]

Wait, Xenoblade 2 only gets good 15-20 hours in?

I must be dumb, I liked it from the start.

Like I know I'm going to get bone graft set up in my mouth during my surgery Wednesday but like clearly I got extra bone grafts into my spine and it feels amazing

i'd also forgotten that. you scummy bastard, pretending you actually read me correctly

and no, im playing completely differently to that game, and hence I am calling BS on your meta.

I can't believe I'm saying this but I'm pretty sure I don't need the metabinder this game.
7 long years grinding out meta reads and I think I've finally gotten intuition that I can trust.
I've got four town reads that I feel comfortable taking with me today three at the absolute bare bones minimum

I have 4, too, but spin won't let me keep one. yet anyway.

Pretty big misrep.

Stop! the Crown Prince and most powerful Driver of the Kingdom of Tantal is here! Bow down mortals!

[Battle Mage]

He acted like this in the last game I SRed him though

What game was this?

it was Avalon Mafia or something? in the open queue. a good read, but not a good BM performance. I lurked, I got limmed, my team lost.

Wait, was this more recent that Masons and Monks?

no idea mate?

What is a non-specific claim then??

I might be a blade

Wait, it, you weren't in Masons and Monks.

You were in the normal I ran before that and then Haunted Village. Got it!

[Firebringer]

Cakez is town my guys

[SirCakez]

mmm BM where's your town passion from Jigsaw?

It was scum passion in Jigsaw, I think you just sent me the wrong role PM.

This isn't a normal mafia game and the setup is actually less easily navigable than I anticipated when I signed up...

Galron's reaction is bad

Jesus. Are you mad because I'm not playing in your pre-defined structure of how you think I should be? Are you mad because I'm voting you? Look around. If you're not scum, quit acting like it.

This game has been a slog. I don't think too many people really know how to approach it yet. TSE made a dumb strategy post that outed him as scum Day 1. Midari made a post Day 1 to the effect of how many understand the rules/setup. That sounded townie to me at the time, and even though she's kind of scum claimed since then, I think that still may be one of the most honest posts of the game. Other than Hiraki's rant. If you look at that, he pretty much nailed the game dynamic at the time. And his ISO is essentially a mind meld with where I'm at. Now we have cakez scum reading four or five people, penguin saying he's okay lynching Midari but not voting there, and Manatee and candles, I don't really know what they're about. Enomis was honest enough to bail, and like I said before, I don't see scum repping out of a lurk party. Battle Mage, bless him, also honestly said he is having difficulty with the mechanic.

If y'all want to lynch Midari, fine, but I think cakez is the better candidate today.

This resonates with me. SirCakez you're right that this is not how I played in Jigsaw, however:

A. My play in Jigsaw single-handedly screwed up the entire game for the town, so it's hardly a meta I'm trying to re-create.
B. I'm not a complete try-hard in every game as town - my drive generally links to my level of engagement, and confidence in my reads.

I wonder if you're genuinely scumreading me based on that meta, or if you're trying to encourage me to play like I did in Jigsaw? The latter is tantamount to fishing in this game.

All

things considered...you're my guy.

VOTE: SirCakez

I am willing to do Galron, Titus and Battle Mage

anyone but you?

I'm sticking with Cakez for today, it's the safe bet.

how BM reacted to me in Chromavlon
literally the same reaction

[unwnd]

If anyone but Firebringer made post 38 I would call it town, but I do think Cobra making his presence known that he's an alt is a bit odd

I don't think it should matter honestly, just seems like something he could fall back on if things go sour for him; preemptive read

[Battle Mage]

VOTE: Cakez

Pretty big misrep.

i'll be beyond happy if we successfully elim Cakez-scum on Day 1 because he tried to push me with an obviously bogus meta-read.

Attention please stop posting so I may catch up thanks

[midwaybear]

I was just wondering why you decided to bold that to BM. His claim was already out there, so there's no point in really trying to hide it IMO.

[Fermis Flames]

Cakez is town my guys

Why did you say it was town Cakez needs to be rescued from?
