nice Not_Mafia joined the game

Not_For_Long

[Luca Blight]

I can relate to that post tbh as there are certain players I find completely unreadable, who I hope to be resolved by PR's.

Hey this is from a long time ago, but which players do you find completely unreadable?

No-one in this game particularly. A few off the top of my head would be Trendall, Robb, ElsaJay.

On the other hand I'm really good at meta-reading certain players, one of them being Norwegian, who I believe is Town this game.

[chkflip]

Okay
How does NM compare to IKS in Guitarists?

S'pose it's similar, sure, the difference here being that I was vehemently wrong as the replacement who didn't like that wagon instead of being the guy that didn't have interest in the wagon's reason or purpose until an unbearablyyyyyfun player took up the slot.

Ask a more direct question next time, please, because that's a weighted and pointed question. Don't think I don't see you.

[NorwegianboyEE]

Is Not_Mafia even readable?

[NorwegianboyEE]

I'm trying to keep the scope of my attention today mostly to visible wagons (mini, cheeky, plus, etc), people that stand out for some reason (the aggressive Bypasser, high-frequency-king Norwegian), or reactions/responses to me as it helps keep it manageable.

[Mizzytastic]

place (n.)

c. 1200, "space, dimensional extent, room, area," from Old French

place

"place, spot" (12c.) and directly from Medieval Latin

placea

"place, spot," from Latin

platea

"courtyard, open space; broad way, avenue," from Greek

plateia (hodos)

"broad (way)," fem. of

platys

"broad," from PIE root

*plat-

"to spread."

Replaced Old English

stow

and

stede

. From mid-13c. as "particular part of space, extent, definite location, spot, site;" from early 14c. as "position or place occupied by custom, etc.; precedence, priority in rank or dignity; social status, position on some social scale;" from late 14c. as "inhabited place, town, country," also "place on the surface of something, portion of something, part." Meaning "a situation, appointment, or employment" is by 1550s. Meaning "group of houses in a town" is from 1580s.

Also from the same Latin source are Italian

piazza

, Catalan

plassa

, Spanish

plaza

, Middle Dutch

plaetse

, Dutch

plaats

, German

Platz

, Danish

plads

, Norwegian

plass

. The word appears via the Bible in Old English (Old Northumbrian

plaece, plaetse

"an open place in a city"), but the modern word is a reborrowing.

Sense of "a mansion with its adjoining grounds" is from mid-14c.; that of "building or part of a building set apart for some purpose is by late 15c. (in

place of worship

). Meaning "a broad way, square, or open space in a city or town," often having some particular use or character (

Park Place, Waverly Place,Rillington Place

) is by 1690s, from a sense in French. Its wide application in English covers meanings that in French require three words:

place, lieu

, and

endroit

. Cognate Italian

piazza

and Spanish

plaza

retain more of the etymological sense.

To

take place

"happen, come to pass, be accomplished" (mid-15c., earlier

have place

, late 14c.), translates French

avoir lieu

. To

know (one's) place

"know how to behave in a manner befitting one's rank, situation, etc." is from c. 1600, from the "social status" sense; hence the figurative expression

put (someone) in his or her place

(1855). In i

n the first place

, etc., it has the sense of "point or degree in order of proceeding" (1630s).

Out of place

"not properly adjusted or placed in relation to other things" is by 1520s.

All over the place

"in disorder" is attested from 1923.

[NorwegianboyEE]

Nero you were obvtown by this point in our last game, why are you so toned down here?

[Not_Mafia]

VOTE:

[Andresvmb]

@Nero Not_Mafia is making me reconsider my read of you. I don’t agree completely, but I am starting to wonder if I have just given you a pass over some reads I agreed with at the time that now I’m beginning to question. Like for example, your shade of Luca without really saying whether you thought Luca is Scummy or not. And your argument with Molla seems interesting. I know you put Molla in your POE. And you seemed to put them down rather aggressively in 617 because they had a different view of the game and they called your reads bad. Can you tell me what you think of Molla now? What about the rest of the game?

[Not_Mafia]

Nero Cain is pretty obvtown

[Andresvmb]

Nero Cain is pretty obvtown

So what the hell is your order above?

[Andresvmb]

I actually looked at Vax too. I don’t think the ISO inspires that much confidence.

[Not_Mafia]

Nero Cain is pretty obvtown

So what the hell is your order above?

I used random.org list randomiser to randomise the playerlist then moved myself to the bottom of the list

Alright whatever. Your random list actually made me look a little closer. So not the worst thing.

This is my true readslist

[NorwegianboyEE]

Is this a omgus or do you actually have real reads.

[Norfolk Boy1]

In 7 minutes, Nero went from 'obvtown' to scumread.

It's clearly all garbage.

[Nero Cain]

NM is just trolling scum. Its wildcard weekend so I've just been watching the games, also I've just not been in a "mafia mood" consider me v/la for today and I'll be back tomorrow if we haven't eliminated NM by then.

[Andresvmb]

Is Not_Mafia just trolling Scum? Because yeah their response about Nero was clearly made in jest, but I don’t think the overall list is.

For example, I can understand some of the skepticism thrown Norwegian’s way. Norwegian if I have it right, you’ve jumped on 3 different wagons (Mini, DGB, Cheeky/Not_Mafia) just when they appeared to be gathering momentum. By my count, they all had at least 4 votes at the time you put a vote down. I could argue that seems somewhat bloodthirsty.

[Andresvmb]

I think Not_Mafia is wrong about Luca and Molla actually for what it’s worth. But it’s easy to dismiss Not_Mafia when they’re close to the edge purely for play style reasons and pretend like there’s nothing there.

[Andresvmb]

I should be precise - Cheeky had three votes, and was the second most voted player when you put a vote down, tying with plus. I believe the others did have at least 4.
