Newbie 2051: Iceland! - End!

[safebet222]

yeah i am 100% suspicious of safebet after that

Why? Like what motivation do I have to do that as scum?

If anyone/your scum partner hammered at that point, it would definitely benefit the team mafia cause

(i)

if you are the mafia then you know

flow trap

is a town, so a miselimination would occur and,

(ii)

the day would over without discussing anything, the town would stay behind.
Can't find any town motivation from your E-1 vote.

Then you're not thinking hard enough

I don't think it's up to you that you will decide if I'm thinking hard or not. We are different, so our points of view will be different too.

Where's your motivation to do that as town? There's no positives from dancing around flow traps wagon like this.

Reactions... Gotta have reactions to start getting somewhere.

Okay, fair enough...

Sorry Sal... I missed this.

I'm leaning town on safe, floo and Spartan

Can you share the reasons?

Floo seems typical chaotic town and Spartan seems genuine here

What about safebet222?

See post #105

[safebet222]

So right now, for me, FoS is pointing at EZ and Spartan.

EZ for an unnatural response to my flow vote and Spartan for voting there when he did. Easy to slip by sandwiched between votes on a flash wagon.

To be fair, no one expected your 4th vote and therefore they expected to be the last vore on me for a while

Finger of Suspicious, I believe

You townread three people who have voted you. I started the wagon. safebet made a point of putting you a step away from death. Spartan voted you for no stated reason other than "pressure" (61). In particular, I find the Spartan townread strange because he has posted only three times, but you find him "genuine" (121). Meanwhile, you are scumreading esotericzoomer (implied in 114), who is the person who has questioned the votes on you a lot while staying away from an explicit townread. Do you think the wagon on you has a legitimate or beneficial purpose?

I fail to see the relevance

This is a valid reason

The "I'm so confused" card is not one I find town and also it felt like a pocket attempt

To answer your question, yes; pressure is a valid reason and it has clearly benefited us as it was a good means for a discussion

[Spartan117]

[1]

VOTE: flow trap

This is at least a partially serious vote. Don't want to discuss why right now.

Found this sus to even insinuate it is somewhat serious a vote this early on with such little discussion, unless ofc this is to obtain a reaction and read responses.

[2]

Yeeaaah.

So i'm not good at game, where main source of info is people yelling on each other.

Dude, you won Newbie 2046 by fooling the town perfectly! If you are not good, don't know who can be!!

It's easy to explain.

I was Mafia and i didn't need info at all, just lie and pretend like i search for info. In Newbie 2048 i failed as Town Jailkeeper. We won though, but that's not because me certanly.

Pretenting easier than doing actually.

So what you're saying is if you are playing well and have lots of reads and ideas we should scum read you aha

[3]

New meta to counter Not_Mafia players.

Count like he is on E-1 but actually that's E-2.

I rate this. lolhammers are all too painful.

[4]

So how can you have a serious vote of 3 people haven't even checked in?
...
OMGUS?

"..." not part of original post.

With the game becoming more serious, I can explain my motives. I switched my RVS vote from Enchant to flow trap because I wanted to see where a conversation would go. flow trap's posting style is lighthearted with a lot of small talk and interactions with other player, as one of the most active users so far (might be the most active in terms of post count). I stated my vote was "partially serious" (40) to avoid seeming suspicious from an apparent OMGUS (as you guessed) and a second (apparently) random vote. I am explaining my intentions now because I would rather have flow trap discuss his/her gameplay or opinions than post joke reactions.

Universal comment
I have always been cautious of connecting "being active" aka posting a lot, to providing surface readings of townie behaviour, it could be LAMIST behaviour or just benign comments that don't particularly contribute to driving the conversation on.

[5]

We should start from something.

but what are you starting from
people just randomly tacked on votes to them without a sliver of explanation or progression so i'm completely lost

Found this somewhat sus that Eso rational behind the voting pressure applied, I read this reaction as scum worrying about their scum teammate being waggoned and not knowing how to stop it (especially when accompanied with #87 & #88). Or at the very least scum trying to act townie and get town points for defending someone under early pressure.

[6]

Not_Mafia is a person who plays on this site..

And he lolhammers.

I don't want this scenario to repeat.

Eh... I didn't see his name on the player list...

VOTE: flow trap

That's E-1. My theory is nobody's dumb enough to hammer.

For someone who I have overall townie vibes from I didn't like this L-1 too much (at least the way it was done), I can see the rational behind the level of pressure here to try and risk danger in the aim to obtain results, even if it meant someone hammered because if you put someone to L-1 thats what you have to be prepared to have happen.

But then to remove his vote only 18minutes later seemingly because of being voted by Fredrick, hmmm.

[7]

So what were you going to do? Twiddle your thumbs until sxum raise their hand and say, "Its me!"

What are you gonna do, risk having potential harmful effects on town and make yourself look like a wolf?
There's plenty of different ways to reaction test, putting someone on e-1 doesn't achieve anything.

Disagree, there is a lot you can learn by putting someone to L-1 , for example who tries heavily to defend them

[8]

What did you think of EZ's reaction? It seemed a bit forced and exaggerated.

Agreed.

[9]

So right now, for me, FoS is pointing at EZ and Spartan.

EZ for an unnatural response to my flow vote and Spartan for voting there when he did. Easy to slip by sandwiched between votes on a flash wagon.

I disagree with slipping in sandwiched between votes, I had intended with my vote to give the pressure to create the conversation that ultimately ended up being created by your vote, I had not imagined we would go to L-1 so soon after, I did not think there would be enough pressure with only 2 votes on to incite the conversation I wanted, I thought putting it at L-2 would suffice.

[Spartan117]

For now I feel like my vote would be better placed here.

VOTE: esotericzoomer

[flow trap]

Found this sus to even insinuate it is somewhat serious a vote this early on with such little discussion, unless ofc this is to obtain a reaction and read responses.

If you think town abides by truth, full truth, & nothing but the truth your going to have a bad time

[floo]

Right, as I explained I said it was "partially serious" to avoid seeming scummy / too random.

Vote Count 1-4

Iceland is 180 miles from Greenland, and Greenland was inhabited by indigenous North Americans at the time it was settled by Icelanders. But, Iceland, itself was apparently never continuously inhabited before Gaelic monks and Norse settlers arrived. There are no signs of pre-European settlements anywhere on the island. DNA, particularly mDNA studies indicate that a North American woman settled in Iceland at roughly the time of Norse settlements in Vinland. About 80 modern Icelanders are known to carry the same C1e mitochondrial DNA strand.

Can we place votes here even if it's on a MoO it's still helpful

flow trap reacted quite a bit. If those reactions weren't meaningful, the wagon still allowed flow trap to produce reads related to the wagon (121).

Another wagon anybody?

Townreading three people who have voted you might seem like trying to court favor with them to get them to unvote you.

[flow trap]

I have 2 reasons why I don't want to go on that, the first is interesting interactions as I've stated before, and the second I will not state as I do not feel it should be shared yet and it's still developing

[flow trap]

Townreading three people who have voted you might seem like trying to court favor with them to get them to unvote you.

I hadn't even considered that, but I am better at reading players that interact with me (that should be logical for everyone if you think about it)

[Enchant]

What you have to say about me? Just wondering.

I voted you as well.

You seem like the procedural/planning type, so I can't really read that until later
