Signs and Void (Game Over) [TM2015]

[Bulbazak]

Tammy, I think you're forgetting that they also had to use said tokens on games. Unless you think their team just let fate decide.

[fferyllt]

Yeah, I figured you would ^_^

At the moment I'm trying to figure out the mechanics of the game and am submitting my dissertation tomorrow so I'm a bit distracted.

I would also like to see eespy's response or approach first. I could see him trying to get scum, but I can also see ZAR trying to get scum, so.

Could you see Titus trying to get scum?

[Tammy]

I don't know how their team used tokens. I could see zar trying to get scum as he likes it. I don't get the response to that from him. I could see him saying, no we gave all the tokens to REGFAN and empire so they could get town. What doesn't make sense is the tone. The um and I should know how they would use it. It makes it weirder that he's the one who opened the door to token speculation when talking about espy.

I mean we got our token back from gamr selection so we had all five to use for side selection.

[Zar]

because Empire and Regfan prefer being town over anything, whereas if you look-up my remakrs to Regfan from last team Mafia in the Scummies post-game, you'd notice I mentioned I wouldn't go after a scumslot?

Anyway, I don't think this line of conversation is going to take us anywhere.

[fferyllt]

But we also need to know signs to use our roles, right?

Right. Whoever gets Baned can (and probably should) be protected.

What was your thought process here?

The second choice is in case scum use both their kills on the same target or something like that while the first one can give us information if a kill is protected.

why do you think this is the case?

Bane: GIF
Choice: One

Hello everyone! My name is Marquis and I have decided to attempt to change my patterns of speech for this special special game! Studies show that people who use proper capitalization, limit their usage of punctuation to exclamation points, and perform similar happy acts may be considered more likable than those who do not! And how likable I am has a very good chance of affecting how people rate and review me in this special special game of Team Mafia!

So once again, hello everyone, and let's lynch the scum! Yay!

I don't like this post.

Everything above the /s was sarcasm. Marquis was obviously kidding around in his first post of the game. I'm not really taking anything from it. I just like joking around earlygame to try and give myself motivation to want to post.

CDB's opener was awkward though and I'm being serious with my vote to want to bane the shiet out of him atm.

I dislike this post so much that my hair is itching.

Yeah, probably.

I hadn't actually thought of it but when we were doling out tokens to try to get town roles, rhinox suggested that a good number of people would probably be using tokens to try to draw scum, in part because you have a better chance at winning team mafia with scum roles.

I've thought about a couple people who might have done that but right now it's more a rolling it around and will deal with it more when I have a better grasp of the mechanics and have submitted my dissertation and scheduled the defense and then can breathe.

Oh I mean I know they prefer town.

Looking up last scummies would require a bit of research time I don't have right now.

@ffery: if you would have two kills, would you shoot the same person twice with the exact signs, or mutiple people or different signs on the same person?

[Titus]

Yeah, I figured you would ^_^

I can see people thinking I would pick scum but a team game where people coach me on early town is better. I am pretty good as late game town with a VCA...but this game apparently may need tweaking as we have half as many lynches (I think).

[Titus]

I kinda want to have a game where people are wowed by my town game prior to post flips.

[fferyllt]

@ffery: if you would have two kills, would you shoot the same person twice with the exact signs, or mutiple people or different signs on the same person?

Your question doesn't make much sense to me, but I think it's because I can't unpack your assumptions. I'm trying to decide if having assumptions I don't have is scummy.

[Tammy]

Ffery - what do you think of titus though? I'm not going to do much in the way of reads or anything until tomorrow at the earliest, but I'm reminded of serum and steel and the debate day one on removing metal from people. Her approach to people with different viewpoints is rather different, which makes me have an early warm feeling for her. Though I do have moments where I wonder if the candle and Alcuin business was an attempt to get them outed. I'm probably overthinking that though.

[Tammy]

Okay so Trojan horse thinks we should just bane the scummiest player, lynch that player in major day, that way we get the boon and the bane really doesn't harm much.

she makes me grind my teeth in my sleep more when she's town. I'm leaning slight town but I haven't slept on it obviously.

I want to think of a bane as a pseudo lynch, but I wonder how much pressure a scum player would feel vs a town player?

[Tammy]

Heh

And hmmm idk

My sleeping pill is kicking in though, so tomorrow!

[DeasVail]

Cheetory, can you please explain your current opinions on Tammy and Marquis?

I keep thinking Alquin is the bad one even though I keep looking to remind myself he's not!

And my head's not really in the right state for this game at the moment, and because this is a special special game, instead of shitposting and talking incessantly on as usual I am going to take a step back and just watch for now!

I skimmed over this before, but would like to say that I very much enjoyed you as a player in our last game and while you are free to play in whichever way you like, your usual incessant talking and "shitposting" is cool too!

Bane: Untrod Tripod
Choice: 1

I've thought about it and I really believe that Choice 1 is better. I think it has great potential to confirm people as town where Choice 2 wouldn't. I'm happy to consider arguments for Choice 2 in the meantime though.

[fferyllt]

oh my word I think deas is town.

[Tammy]

I had an argument for 2 that got lost when the thread was locked that I'll have to remember when my brain isn't counting unicorns.

[Bulbazak]

@Ffery: Yeah, that was kinda obvious.

[DeasVail]

oh my word I think deas is town.

Is this real life?

[fferyllt]

yabbut I never think deas is town. it's kinda scary.

[Tammy]

Okay I should sleep.

[Titus]

@CDB, I am rather interested in 129 as well. If Bane votes are meant to be who is the scummiest, why should the baned player get protection? Wouldn't it be better not to bane?

@Tammy/Fferylt, Pretty sure I have lost this argument on bane/not bane. I still think baning is a mistake but being stubborn will just mean my voice is lost in the process or unintentional fishing to those who cannot see theory as theory.

[Cheetory6]

Cheetory, can you please explain your current opinions on Tammy and Marquis?

Haven't really seen enough from Marquis's first four posts to form much of an opinion on him, but I don't think him 'shitposting' during earlygame D1 seems out of character for him based on my experience with him.

Was feeling a little wary of Tammy because it seemed like she could have been pretending to not understand things to fake a lack of understanding of the scum mechanics for townpoints, but her later posts have been better.
