Newbie 2078: Dead Thread

[StrangeMatter]

I think the chaos is just a part of GrandpaMo's playstyle rather than if he is scum or town. I haven't seen him do this as scum but he does this a lot as town so I'm writing it off as NAI for the time being.

[StrangeMatter]

So I think it is possible he's just town from how he has been acting in other games with chaotic and weird things he's done but it can also just be him incorporating his Town playstyle with his scum game.

[Greeting]

He mentioned that he's playing 5 games at a time. Who does that? I'd find it hard to play 2 with the commitment that playing a mafia game requires.

[Dorsey]

@Micc: Were any of the second group I proposed in my PM scum?

[Micc]

Sorry, no spoilers.

[Greeting]

Ayo Dorsey, are you signing up for the next Newbie game?

I can't even play two games at once . It takes about half an hour to an hour a day usually even for just one game.

[UhUhWaitAndSee]

I like the depth of play here though, it is worth it. Facial expressions less important, logic more important. Enough time to avoid saying something dumb that instantly loses the game.

[Dorsey]

Nah

[Titus]

Lol, why would Titus send her Friendly Neighbor to me? She was supposed to send it to someone to prove that I didn't JK them and then clear whoever I did JK.

Can I get spoilers, though?

I honestly don't know. It doesn't make sense to me either. I also don't know why she chose to send Friendly Neighbor to me on Night One.

I picked you because you doubted I was town.

[StrangeMatter]

But one of the scum flipped so Greeting and you can't be scum together?

Though either way I don't think it could matter since now it's a Vanilla game.

I liked to pretend that it did, but in reality, it didn’t mean anything about my alignment. I could have well been scum and still townclear Titus since I would get the message anyway. It only worked in Titus’ favour.


@all Except UhUh and Micc: Whom do you bet is the last scum?

Last scum could be Kennyk but really this is just a wild guess for now and I'll bet later once I read through the game again.

[StrangeMatter]

okay, risking the chance that Gpa would label this post as me deflecting on that "me pushing to lim someone today" narrative, should we start talking about possible f3 situation? for me personally;

if Gpa is dead tonight, then it's RCE-Kenny-me left, and both Kenny and me are leaning RCE (might change cause I think a shrew)
if RCE is dead tonight, then it's Gpa-Kenny-me, and Gpa is gutreading kenny. At this point I would also believe in Gpa and vote kenny tbh
if Kenny is dead tonight, then it's Gpa-RCE-me, and I'm going to vote RCE then
if I'm dead tonight, it's Kenny-RCE-Gpa, and both of you have decided to vote Kenny (I think? cmiiw)

And this gives scum the script for who is best to kill tonight:
If it is Grandpa: kill whoever you like, either RCE or I am likely to be elimed.
If it is RCE: kill Always and I am elimed.
If it is me: kill Grandpa and RCE is elimed.
If it is Always: kill whoever you like, either RCE or I am likely to be elimed.

But as everyone knows this now, are we all going to stick to the predicted votes?

Curious that your first instinct is to think what scum would do, it's like... you are one

ok i rlly like this response -- i had the same instict as well . i was worried bout u not being the good townread u r ... but u saying that leans u more on that spectrum...

this is because as town, you are more likely to share similar thoughts -- this being one specifically one on how scum does make it first instinct. that is true -- that is more likely for scum to perpetuate their thoughts during the day unintentionally

Not sure I necessarily agree with any of these.

KennyK trying to gauge what each player does as scum to me doesn’t work or really make sense especially since it sets up for scum to win which to me feels scummy.

Now as for AlwaysNever and GrandpaMo’s reaction I disagree that trying to see what a player as scum would do is scummy, but that is untested for me at least right now.

[Micc]

Welcome AlwaysNever.

[Titus]

Welcome.

[StrangeMatter]

Welcome to the dead thread, AlwaysNever.

[AlwaysNever]

Yo yo, thank you all for the welcomes, I wasn't expecting to die in f3 here cause I still have doubts over whether it's kenny or not

[AlwaysNever]

Kenny's previous slot, Dew, has a strange interaction with Uhuh the flipped scum in d1, so that's an argument that I would've take to f3 to vote Kenny, but now it doesn't matter anymore.

I also have this gut feeling still that it's RCE but I can't justify it with evidence, other than his refusal in d2 to consider uhuh as scum

and also as StrangeMatter have said, skimming at Gpa's other games (all him as townie I think) I feel like this is par for the course for him and above all else, should probably be considered NAI, which is scary since that means I don't know when he's scum or not. I might want to look at his scum game if I have to play with him again just to make sure

Kenny = RCE > GPA

ordered from the most likely to the least likely

[StrangeMatter]

Well if GrandpaMo comes back and doesn’t hammer he’s probably not Mafia (though Town can hammer, but it’s unlikely they actually do IMO) since he would automatically win here as scum once he comes back.

[Greeting]

I'm beginning my healing journey to accept that my reads this game were... unfortunate. But I won't be surprised if we lose.

At this point, my last vote would be kennyk. I guess I should just go contrary to what I believed since that was wrong. lol

[Greeting]

Oh and also hi AlwaysNever. It was really cool playing with you this game.

[AlwaysNever]

He did post to the thread but he wasn't immediately voting kenny, so maybe he's not scum after all?

It was really cool playing with you too man! Sorry for basically starting a quickhammer wagon on you, I was so sure that you might be a scum but I was too carried away

Well, we just have to wait and see what he says or does for now.

Though reading into it with all the flips that have been made, KennyK I noted has voted all town, including one jailkeeper, which all flipped green. Seems a bit scummy by decimation.
