American Gods Mafia - Game over

[Fate]

EXACTLY SGR, he was playing the LONG game. Aka bussing all of his buddies one by one to remain the Town Hero alive at the end of the game who was always doc protected.

He cares more about how he looks, aka if he called his buddies TOWN he'd look BAD after they [inevtiably] died before him.

[SGRaaize]

If OhGodMyLife is volunteering to be sacrificed then he is scum.

I agree with this, I think OhGodMyLife volunteered himself to be sacrificed because he knew this would give him a town-read and wouldn't actually end with him sacrificed.

@Fate: I disagree completely, I think you are being extreme. I think he was playing the long game, but I'm sure he wanted to make a mistake here or there and help his buddies stay alive. After all, if he never made a mistake, that would be more suspicious if he did a mistake or other, don't you think?

This is why I think wrath is scum. Ythill tried some early distancing/bussing, he took it very badly. Read the first few pages / read wrath in iso to see what I'm talking about.

[SGRaaize]

No, no fucking way. You'l never sell me the idea that Wrath is Ythill's buddy, Ythill bussing him as cleanly as that at the beginning of D1 would make him more suspicious, not less.

[OhGodMyLife]

No seriously guys quit fooling, I'm getting sacrificed today, the confirmed town tracker is way more valuable than me

[Fate]

NO.
YOU.
ARE.
ALIVE.

Just stop spouting nonsense and proxy your vote to me. I'm not sacrificing a town read for one night's of tracker results for no damn reason. We can do it LATER in the game to direct scum NKs, whereas right now scum NKs are a HIGH SOURCE of information

[Kublai Khan]

@KK: You know Fate just claimed last page to be the one to vig Ythill.

C'mon farside22, which scenario sounds most likely:

A) Town-VigFate targets and kills Ythill because she wants town-leadership

B) Scum-Fate looking to either out the vig or laugh at the frustrated silent SK

C) Town-Fate claiming crap repeatedly.

EBWOP: Fate is denying-ish the claim, but justifies A anyways.

kublai, please point out what part of the things I'm doing you're defining as "scrambling/flailing"

Volunteering to be sacrificed.
Sheeping Fate. (Nexus was a "torn on" read for you yesterday)

[Fate]

Nexus SHOULDA been a torn on read, given that player's flake history.

But when I come in and YELL TOWN FROM THEMOUTNAIN TOPS, the appropriate response it to sheep me.

B) Lol. Like I''d sacrifice MYSELF to out a fuckin vig. Plus laughing at the frustrtated silent SK is something I'd do as A AND C

[farside22]

@KK: Knowing Fate's play style it probably a combo of B or C.
Depends on his alignment.
Also I agree with KK that someone doing a catch up post (especially one that wasn't that indepth) isn't a town tell

[OhGodMyLife]

Volunteering to be sacrificed.
Sheeping Fate. (Nexus was a "torn on" read for you yesterday)

I want to be sacrificed because a large proportion of the town thinks I'm scum anyway (see: yesterday's wagon, today's action), and sacrificing me saves the town the mislynch and nets a confirmed pro-town player. I explained clearly why I was torn on nexus yesterday, obviously I have now made up my mind in the town direction. Neither of those things are scrambling or flailing. You should spend your energy scum hunting instead of smearing me with meaningless terms.

[Apokalyptika]

Farside: I'm not sure what I make of them electing me. At the time, I was flattered but slightly bemused. In retrospect, I think it's a good scum move; throw support behind a more obscure townie to gain points for independent thinking. I may be somewhat biased because they are my top two scumreads at the moment, but that's my opinion. As for Llamafluff's statements about my play, well, yeah. I do think I've been posting well, I've put my suspicions out there, I've been scumhunting.

I'm not sure where this case on me springs out of, really. I saw one post where I was suspecting Saint yet voting the same target as him. Turns out, scum sometimes vote other scum, and I thought it was entirely null in terms of placing my vote. As for not starting debate among the elects, I admit that I should have done that. However, the fact that people are skipping past self-contradicting scum Llama and giving-up scum OGML in favor of me is baffling.

As a sidenote, that's why I'm not electing anyone yet; I think it's a bad idea for anyone to get too many election votes at the moment, because people get locked into the idea of so-and-so going backstage and it colors perceptions.

It is if it was done promptly, well thought out, and with content.

Scum usually stall or botch their catch-ups. So yeah, it was a town tell. He's not scum now, but he doesn't get a town badge because his vote is being wasted today. If he REALLY thinks I'm scum and he's town, he needs to shutup, Elect me, and help me bus this waste of a player Apoka

LOOK AT THIS POST FULL OF NOTHING.

GG.

[OhGodMyLife]

Fate, if I'm sacrificed we can lynch apok too. If I'm not sacrificed they're just going to keep trying to lynch me today instead.

[Fate]

You'd be surprised at how good I am at derailing lynches, OMGL, I'd cite an on-going game but I shouldn't. I've replaced in and derailed lynches that were at L-1 before and such.

When I get a town read I'd bet MY life on, there's no way that person gets lynched while I'm alive.

[Apokalyptika]

How is that a post full of nothing? I am telling you scum, and you aren't listening.

[Fate]

Telling me scum what?

You didn't call me scum. You didn't really say ANYTHING new or interesting. Hell, you didn't even REACT to the wagon against you except "wut i dont understand why im being caught"

[Fate]

@Town: Read everyone's posts today. Who's post screams the MOST of "our scum leader Ythill died! WUTNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"

Apokalytpica.

Lynch please.

[Apokalyptika]

I never said I was calling you scum. If you read my posts, you will see that I am saying OGML and Llama are scum, repeatedly, citing reasons. And I defended myself against the wagon on me, so I'm not sure where you're getting this lack of reaction from.

Also, and I feel the need to say this yet again because I'm being drowned out:

What do you guys think of Llama's blatant contradictions in his view of AGar based on ghost's flip?

Preview edit: ...how are you getting this? Are we reading the same game?

[Fate]

Yeah you defended yourself, "i've been scumhunting I swear!" that was defense against Llama or whatever.

I know you have your two "prime mislynch" targets for the day, that doesn't count as scumhunting.

Bold all you want, I don't care about an apparent contradiction. Let's see what YOU think of EVERYONE. So far you've just been doing the bare minumum with "suspects" and "looking for scumtells" but you haven't been approaching the game holistically as town would, or commenting on important things.

I AM READING THE SAME GAME, I SAW YOUR ROLE PM BUDDY. YOURE SCUM.

[Fate]

In related news, AGar is hiding from this game hardcore until he decides whether to bus or not, trying to see which way the wind blows first.

[farside22]

@Town: Read everyone's posts today. Who's post screams the MOST of "our scum leader Ythill died! WUTNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"

Apokalytpica.

Lynch please.

I read Apok's post and the first post of the day didn't scream that.

Till you makes sense and stop the spastic posting that doesn't show anything to me that makes sense I'm not listening to you.

[OhGodMyLife]

Here I present every mention Ythill makes of apok:


ISO #14

Finished rereading. Both Seacore and Llama have gained some actual cred, the former more so.

Scum (in order): Ghost, ani, wrath,

Apok

.
People of interest: GG, LL.
Town: vezo, SGR, Seacore, Llama, farside.

First mention. Zero explanation. Apok appears safely in last place on the scumlist.

ISO #15

@SGR: Apok is under the radar but managed to answer the one question directed at him.

Ythill is forced to give some measure of reason. Its fluffy BS.

ISO #33

Ghost is looking scummier with his willingness to lynch any lead wagon other than him, especially with that wishy-washy read on ani. A townie brownie for Apok, though I don't find his point compelling in context. And Tasky just left null for scummy.

Suddenly Apok is getting towny brownies for un-compelling points? Wishy washy wishy washy

ISO #34

I don't think OGML is scum per se. And I think associative tells are pointless speculation on D1. If you're asking who I find scummy, the current list is: ani, Ghost, Magna, Wrath, and Apok.

His next post. Despite the previously mentioned towny brownie, Apok still finds himself comfortably in last place on Ythill's scumlist.

ISO #35

Wagon dynamics:
Half of the players have voted SGR at one point or another. His wagon swelled and held strong across two counters and then dissolved when "dangerously-influential" me called for an OGML wagon. IF SGR is town, scum were parking and jumped off after it started to fall apart.

Townie brownies for Apok and Magna (which is ironic). Scumpoints for OGML and Ghost.

Back to the townie brownies. Waffle waffle waffle. No real reason given for why this particular wagon dynamic was worthy of either town or scum points for the players in question, either.

ISO #37

@GG: Since you're here, what are your reads on Magna, Apok, Llama, AGar, and LL? Was playing the farside tells close to your chest discussed as a tactic in your QT? Now that you've had some time to get used to one another, are you finding that your private discussions are critical enough to diminish confirmation bias or cooperative enough to increase it? If allowed backstage with farside, will you do your part to keep your fight with her from distracting us?

Here Ythill is just pestering obvtown gaggle, trying to gauge their position on one or more scumbuddies (Apok, Agar) probably to see which way the winds were blowing for busses.

ISO #39

There has been a lot of movement on my lists due to the amount of content. Here are the new tallies...

Scum (in order): Ghost, ani, OGML,

Apok

People of interest: Magna, Wrath
Town: GG, vezo, SGR, Saint, Seacore, Llama (honorary), farside, LL

There he is, still inexplicably parked in last place on the scumlist despite the townie brownies he's been accruing. Could it be more obvious at this point?

ISO #57

Ghostlin remains at the top of my suspect list by a decent margin. Ani and Nexus are the runners up. A lynch on any of them would be good. By the numbers, OGML,

Apok

, and Wrath have been sufficiently scummy that I wouldn't mind seeing them hang. However, that last bit from Wrath means I'd definitely vote him over OGML and so I'm going to stay away from that wagon unless there is some serious to hop back on.

Here again apok shows up nestled amongst the random scumreads/willingness to lynch list, but manages to be the player paid the least attention.

ISO #65

In the same post where I looked at the electorate, I removed OGML from my lynch list and, though it wasn't entirely explicit, moved Wrath into a top four category that didn't include Apok (who is scummy but not nearly as bad as the others).

"scummy but not nearly as bad as the others" pretty much speaks for itself.

tl;dr Ythill was obviously keeping apok at a safe place in his scumlist where he could continuously call him scum without ever actually voting for or endangering him. They're scum buddies. Lynch pls.

[Fate]

Apok is scum for his posts, among other things, and PoE from a various number of town reads.

I'll tell you the reasons for the townreads if you REALLY want to know in the QT tonight.

Elect: GaggleofDerp

[farside22]

Finally!!!!
God why do I have to pull teeth for something I can hang a hat on.

unvote:
vote: Apok

Also I think MOI is scum with Ythill. That argument between the two of them looks forced rereading it. Light bussing without voting and crap comments. Looking it remnds me of a game where I argued with my scum buddy.
Anyone will to Sacrifice MOI to get Vezo back with me.

Sacrifice: MOI
Resurrect: Vezo
