Mini 2250: Role-A-Pair Mafia (Game Over)

[Color Orange]

Oh wait. Different posters. Still want an answer to why Red's bold play looked scummy but it's not like the point of view was weird like I initially thought.

[Color Orange]

So far liking circle, arrow, blue, orange

Suspicious of purple, star, red

Okay scratch that previous negation. Why is Red suspicious for you?

[Color Purple]

Why is red mafia?

fos on players for contrived reasons ("TMI on roleblocker", "LAMIST")

blatant TMI read on pentagon

Yeah I found that interesting since I haven’t really done anything.

Pair: Circle

I found who I want as my partner.

Red definitely has chutzpah, I’ll give them that. lol

Yeah, I kinda feel like Red is a little towny. Maybe I'm being too generous with townpoints though. I'll do an audit on those when I get caught up.

Red definitely has chutzpah, I’ll give them that. lol

Not sure what that means lol.

i mean i did call you scum you know

are you just not reading the game

Why do you think chutzpah is a scummy thing?

To be honest, I've seen scum be super distant and in the shadows. I do find audacity, more of a playstyle thing, than Alignment Indicative.

[Color Orange]

I have townpings from Circle and mild scumvibes off Purple's entrance.

I am looking for a partner with a great taste in music and also hopefully very active.

Must like long walks and have a great sense of humor.

Also preferably of town alignment because I don't need to be pocketed in a PT that would not be fun.

why do i townping

i must know

my ego demands it

I liked:

"and i think lol-pairing is >rand town"

and

"the delayer power seems to be almost entirely pro-scum"

This feels lacking nuance.

Didn't Pentagon answer that in 178?

[Color Orange]

Uh,
why do you think star is town

Their opinion on the lack of RVS. Circle was my RVS pair vote. The question was RQS.

RVS pairing right out the gate seems like a bad idea. It's not like normal RVS where a majority has to agree on a lim before there are any consequences, you could have easily been locked into that.

The person accepting would have to answer to why they immediately accepted? This is not Trust Fall where the goal is to pair up in order to escape. You actually have to defend your choices.

Oh I agree. On Red. Blue is definitely a townread for me as well as Arrow and Green.

And Yellow is also another town read.

Did Purple vocalize a townread on me at this point? Why wasn't it re-affirmed here, just because it had already been expressed?

[Color Orange]

Is this TMI?

What do you mean by this.

im going to call purple town and assume they get yeeted at some point at some point anyway for being weird

so i can say i told you so

No. As long as Purple remains a townread for me I'll fight tooth and nail to keep him alive.

[Color Orange]

Sure.

Purple, Circle, Arrow. -> All town. Did anyone sneak in.

I support this idea.

[Color Orange]

Red is still the scummiest. I might be wrong on purple. What do people make of Star wanting to be left out?

I feel like Red is town, as well as Purple. More confident on Purple. I want to see Star post about other things before forming a read there.

i dont think purity of pairings is even essential given the lack of loverization and may just lead to obvtown pairs getting offed

i may be happiest pairing with a null read who i can try to sort in private

thats my last thought for the night

Pairing with scum means that they can mess with your role usage. Either side dying means the role stops working.

[Color Orange]

Yellow is my favorite color out of the available colors and to be even more honest, I like 113 enough to take a jump and see where I land.

Pair Yellow

I'm not questioning you being town from this, but what did you like from Yellow to make you choose them?

[Color Purple]

Is this TMI?

What do you mean by this.

I was talking about 114. I was worried that it would give away that I've never played outside of the Newbie and Normal Queues.

[Color Orange]

I feel like I'd rather leave a town unpaired because even if delayer is anti-town, I'd rather have it in town's hands. I think a good strategy might be to never use it until 2 scum are dead?

I like this thinking but the obvious problem is how do we know? Perhaps scum will try to look townie to be left unpaired to get delayer?

I was wrong about this, and do not eel as I did before.

I don't think that's how a delayer works.

I also think it'd be more informative & exciting for us to eliminate the unpaired player.

I do like the way you think about this and think it's more likely to come from town.

If pairs aren’t loverized I think that’s only a good idea if the unpaired slot is the scummiest. If not, that could be suboptimal.

I think we should try to leave scum unpaired, and then eliminate the unpaired player, that way all the abilities can be used N1.

I would not have thought that. You seemed more suave in a way that meant you had a lot of experience in many areas of the site. This probably actually makes me feel better about you, you probably have less ability to dupe me.

I didn't vocalise my townread on you until 144. It was more in my mind but I was too caught up to vocalise it. Sorry.

I like this thinking but the obvious problem is how do we know? Perhaps scum will try to look townie to be left unpaired to get delayer?

The solution here is to either treat a Delay as a scum claim from the Delayer, or just vote out the Delayer. That's why I volunteered, because if I ultimately end up getting scum read then you can just vote me out, and if I'm town read but a Delay happens then you would know I'm scum.

Best case scenario however is that today we find at least one scum that is a Shape, make them go solo, and then vote them out to get rid of scum and the Delayer at the same time.

I’m onboard with that, unfortunately the slot I currently feel the worst about is a color. I should probably review diamond or heart again.

I think sorting the shapes should be something everyone is at least attempting, since the delayer has to be a shape.

So I know it isn’t me and unless I’m wrongly reading circle and arrow and it isn’t star, then it would have to be between heart and diamond, assuming only one scum in shapes?

But with one extra power, it would seem likely at least one.

I really don’t have a read on either but based soloey by PoE, scum is probably likely in at least one. Red looks the worst from the colors with my liking yellow, orange, blue and maybe purple?

Have no idea on green yet but slots that haven’t impressed me yet are: red, heart, green, diamond.

You forgot Triangle.

[Color Orange]

Spoiler: Catchup to Pg 4

light townping on 30 for Heart

don't like Pentagon's entry

Nullish on Star Entry. Might be scummy but I've seen town do this too.

Like Orange

@Red what did you like about Pentagon when you made 41 ?

Like Diamond 42

Arrow/Green back and forth is funnies

I like both of them actually !

I liked Circle 697476

Don't like Star 73

I like 80 from Arrow

I like 88 from Yellow

I'm worried I might be confbiasing on Purple but I didn't like 89

Don't like 90 from Red -> find it weird he didn't address all the criticism thrown his way 93 is ??

92 find this weird don't think star is very townie

Currently around:

Likes: Orange Green Arrow Yellow

Dislikes?: Red Purple

What is your full sort at the moment, given you only have colors sorted in this post?

[Color Orange]

I'm going to curl up in bed again for a long while.

If any colors want to pick my brain in a PT, ask if you want. I'm not the type of player who initiates pairs in dance games and just consider what offers are tossed my way. Probably less picky given they're not lover pairs.

Will try to pop in again later tonight.

I definitely want to pair up with someone I at least feel like I can work well with. Them being a townread is a bonus but not mandatory.

[Color Orange]

158 iz me.
not u.

u slippy scumz.
ask mod cnt b vrifid.
no pts 4 u.

I know 158 is you.

I never claimed it could, so why do you continue to shade me for something I didn’t do?

so u admt u ddnt ask mod?

slppy slde tme!

I don't like what feels like deliberate mass inclusion of typos, but I'm even less a fan of what feels like you interacting with Pentagon in bad faith. You seem to be fishing for gotcha moments.

[Color Orange]

Also unless Triangle promises to speak coherently in the PT, I will not be pairing with that one. I want to be able to actually discuss in a PT without having to decipher garbled text.

[Color Purple]

To be fair, most of my null reads are Shapes. I think that my current reads leave only three as null (Red, Diamond, and Triangle). But then, if everybody else in my reads are Town, then the Mafia has to be my null reads. However, I don't think that it's that simple. I think that by Day 2, my reads would change, especially since nobody's locktown for me and never will be.

[Triangle Shape]

[Color Orange]

Why do you want to pair with me?

I'm not necessarily against it I was clearing the circle pair of my predecessor

Why do you not want to be paired with Circle? Removing existing votes or other actions that are similar is a common practice but the way you say it here, you seem to have a deliberate reason you do not want to pair with Circle.

[Triangle Shape]

wll tlk nrmlly in PT. prms!!

[Color Orange]

I agree with an earlier sentiment that it would be between Diamond and Heart, and additionally Triangle for me. Snap reaction to Triangle finally posting is to choose them as the elim since their posts are just...bad. However, I can't rule out them just playing like LHF and want to see their progression in the coming days.

So you volunteered to be left out, but do not want to be eliminated after being left out. Can you talk about that?
