I don't think Norfolk is worth bussing based on his low equity. If I'm scum and my partner is slanking like Norfolk and just..not really posting/being townie, then I let town figure out what they're doing with him and then coordinate around it. I think talking about him fine, I think saying 'we should shoot Norfolk' is also fine. You'll probably see more scum not necessarily bussing but maybe slipping in the thought.

Another bad Norfolk post
They're basically saying don't scumhunt, it's netflix's job.

But you did.

Wat
I called the post scummy
That's scumhunting

Which is fair, the 14 day deadline is overkill too

We're now at the point of the game where somebody is rabidly defending somebody who's barely posted

Like, can you really townread norfolk that hard? Why can't sircakez/unwnd be bussing? etc

If he's town, you get rid of netflix and you get the day cut short handing the gun to someone who's already stated they lack confidence which is a win win for scum. Possibly going into night then shooting someone for less information again. I don't think you're approaching this game genuinely. Like at all at all.

I don't have a strong townread there. I do think it's entirely possible that cakez/unwnd could be bussing. It's what I'm trying to figure out.

I think after last game saying 'just shoot norfolk' is very reasonable from unwnd

I considered the argument but I'm not the one who has the gun. Counterpoint: Norfolk is scum and then Netflix gets to shoot again. I get where you're both coming from though, you give some guy who isn't really playing/paying attention the option to kill someone and then before you know you're down 3 townies.

Actually this offends me, I'm trying much harder this game because it's at a readable pace and I don't have to skim to the point I get fucking bored. My reads feel much more concrete and these past towngames either one or two things have happened

1) I die literally n1 for some reason
2) Wait that's it

I already mentioned the counterpoint because yes, that's awesome if he's scum sort of, I'm not even interested in scum going out this soon because there's a whole lack of a lot of people posting. And I don't think that netflix is going to shoot this soon, so I'm not really concerned about that, I'm concerned that you're advocating it and writing him off as a lurker when the game just started. And it's very squicky coming from you because that's not the approach you've taken in the past couple games we've played together in which you've been quite a bit more conscientious in gaining reads.

I actually feel pretty good about them yeah. At least in reference to D1. Past D1s I felt either tilted/annoyed because I was trying to read things I didn't actually want to. It's a moot point

This is a different game, I alluded to this when I was talking about my approach. Having a gun in play supersedes the need for a more diplomatic approach. I'm not condemning Norfolk however and saying he's 100% scum, It's more like I want to put the idea out there, then see where it goes. I didn't really have a read on you till now so I would say that's worth something.

Correct me if I'm wrong; your reads are norfolk scuma and duchess scum?

Yeah for now

I might as well throw down the shot I'd take now, since I've gotten enough data around it by now that I don't care about holding it back anymore.

SirCakez. That is the one slot I actually scumread /confidently./ Lots of nulls, a handful of shaky scumreads, but this slot <insert godawful pun on taking the cake>. Imperium found one solid reason to scumread the slot already. There's also an event that won't convince anyone but me that happened as well. Since inevitably the question will be asked: Let us simply state that there is no way Cakez simply did not see my rant about voting, read posts 21 and 23 as demonstrable proof of this, and move on from there since it will change exactly no minds on alignment but my own.

That said, 23 is also an interesting post even separate from my personal approach to Mafia. Almost the entire gamestate has evolved, but Cakez is still, as a practical matter, living on page 1 and has made little or no effort to move beyond that.

I am also fine with cakez shot

I don't care if you SR me but I think that of all things is a stupid reason to SR me. At least I can see Imperium's argument.
