Mini Theme 2165: MafiaSunny (Complete!)

[AGar]

Today was trash.

Kinda like angling that UT used meta when UT didn’t use meta.

Also kinda like meta.

Anyways yeah.

I’ll be a people tomorrow

[VP Baltar]

bb u already know ur special

Well yeah


But serious question

[xRECKONERx]

Does UT oppose meta?

UT is a proud subscriber to Reck's Meta is Trash religion

okay first of all we are cofounders of this religion

second, I thought it was pretty clear from how I worded that, but I am not suggesting that I am divining VP's alignment from a meta read. what I am doing is recounting a time previously when I made a mistake by second-guessing my gut read on someone and coincidentally it happened to be VP in the time I'm thinking of.

i mean your entire post was centered around VPB specifically flipping scum so where did you think you worded that differently

[xRECKONERx]

uncomfortable that people are dogpiling with me on my questioning of ut hmmmmmm

[Annie Edison]

Do arbitrary townblocs ever contribute anything of meaning? I see so many people open with them and I want to mock the living daylights of them for how silly it is but I’ve never actually paid attention to their effects on the game

Townblocs win games. What you got against them?

I don’t deny that. I’m just unsure if the ones with weird or arbitrary conditions for being added ever actually help either faction

this exchange feels weirdly indirect, esp considering vpb's vote. gamma why so vague in 41?

-bulge

[Gamma Emerald]

I was trying to not be like “grrr I think this is nonsense”, I genuinely wanted to know whether townblocs with arbitrary criteria (which tbh VPB’s bloc doesn’t look like it is) actually mattered in any sort of way

[chkflip]

I'm officially opening applications for the VP town block. Anyone admitted will survive until the end as CONFIRMED TOWN.

TO APPLY:

1) Do stuff VP finds obvtown.
2) Laugh as scum flail from being PoE'd into oblivion.

Who is submitting applications?

Impressive. Confirmed town how, exactly?

ut quick: what ISNT garbage

Got you there, UT

Mature. Like, totally not being a prick here.

Any particular reason you skipped the relevant posts by UT?

Is this a legit question meant to determine my alignment?

Vexing. Again no arrogance seen. :thorface:

Is there a reason to suspect otherwise?

It's a terrible question that couldn't possibly yield alignment info and I was obviously ribbing UT.....so, yes?

Terrible. Like in a "I know what I'm doing more than you know what you're doing" kind of way.

But ask me again how you're being a fucking prick.

This is super fun.

Wow.

[xRECKONERx]

that is single handedly the largest tonal overreaction ive ever seen in a mafia game and i feel like chkflip vastly overestimated the read he had on the room

VOTE: chkflip

[chkflip]

Yeah, well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

[VP Baltar]

UNVOTE:
VOTE: chkflip

I've been upgraded from pompous to total prick for some pretty light-hearted posts to get the game moving in some kind of direction out of RVS?

I agree with reck this is scum reading the room poorly.

[brighteningskies]

That's a bit harsh (；・∀・)
I mean I think he might be scum but only in the mafia game sense not in the personality sense

[chkflip]

Reck is town. skies is town. Good good.

[VP Baltar]

Reck is town. skies is town. Good good.

Am I scum?

[VP Baltar]

What's your skies townreads based on, chkflip?

[chkflip]

You're still high in my prob!scum pool, my guy. I don't actually think you're an asshole I just wanted to get a solid read on you and at least one other. I got two so it's a win.

37, 49, and the last one are veeery strong newb!town tells/vibes.

[VP Baltar]

What makes them newb town tells vs just newb to you?

I'm still quite confused how you're arriving at your scum read on me as well. Feel free to elaborate beyond "VP is a jerk", which seems NAI even if I

were

to believe you truly felt that way.

[chkflip]

Tone.

I'll do it later. Working on 36 hours awake, but I'll crash soon and when I wake up you'll get the case you're looking for.

[Untrod Tripod]

vote chkflip

I think we've found our townbloc /s

Hmmm.

With 13 alive, it takes 7 to vote a player out.

Deadline is at 8pm EDT on September 27, in (expired on 2020-09-27 20:00:00).

[AGar]

Who’s dogpiling?

[chkflip]

Tripod I expected, but Ythan? That's disappointing.

Seems I've to do this now.

UNVOTE:

Now, you see, reck is helpful town.

VOTE: gamma emerald

Any particular reason you skipped the relevant posts by UT?

Is this a legit question meant to determine my alignment?

The disparity between these two posts is atrocious. In the first you're applauding xRECKONERx as helpful town and in the second you're chastising Haschel for asking you a question you found to be unhelpful. What pings me here is simple: they both posted equally. RECK's post about the history of Sunny, though enlightening for the kids not following along in the appreciation thread, wasn't remotely alignment indicative. Yet you're seemingly taken aback by something you don't think will help engage you in a way that'll show your own alignment? Pardon my French, bud, but that doesn't make any fucking reasonable amount of sense to me.

You further my scum pinging by voting arguably the easiest vote to make in the entirety of my time on this website. No offense to the guy, but Gamma Emerald has made a name for being absolute elimbait. Yeetbate? Executebait? Whatever. The fact of the matter is that the vote is nothing short of worthless at this, or almost any, stage of the game when -- let's face it -- he'll likely lurk out any Goddamn way. I know because I just had to rally myself out of being eliminated in his stead in a recently completed game and have seen it happen more often then not when I'm in games with him.

So excuse me if I don't think you're any shining example of a Sunny in this game.

VP's posting isn't great but this post is also bad.

[chkflip]

Why?

--

Now for the "newb town v newb" elaboration. I spent a

long

fucking time in the Road to Rome section of this site on my first stretch. It was partially for experience, sure, but it was mostly so I could see what people meant when they said something was newb!town v newb!scum. Here's why these posts are undoubtedly, to me, coming from newb!town.

Is there a reason for anyone voting anything or are y'all so caught up in the glory that is Sunny that you are just voting randomly

(pls this is my 0.5th game of mafia, if this is a tradition i aint familiar)

Alas, the newb card. Most everyone posts it at some point in their early tenure here. And they'll likely continue to do so until they feel comfortable with their posting or get badgered by their peers to stop posting it via getting mistakenly scum read over it. This reads like a genuine curiosity behind the meaning of RVS from extreme lack of experience with it. They didn't even know what to call it. The query seems to come from a genuine place of unknowing more than to call on themselves as being new here. Tone.

Most mafia games start with joke votes until something more real builds.

I'm actually increasingly happy with this Gamma Emerald vote though. You should hop on this wagon

Are you encouraging

sheeping

?
Suspicious...

At some point they were told, or saw, that sheeping was negatively alignment indicative. While this isn't always true, it's obvious they don't know that and they're making a genuine effort to call out what they believe to be a scumtell. Tone.

That's a bit harsh (；・∀・)

Newbie fence sitting 101. Probably felt a bit awkward with the brashness of my post above it but clearly doesn't have the wherewithal to pile on. Uncertainty. Tone.
