On the Flying Scumsman (Abandoned)

[Latias and Latios]

Well we'd talk about it there but the thread is locked. That was just the last 3 hours for some of us, we're just reacting to it as it literally just ended, chill. Games should be fun and enjoyable, don't be a party pooper.


Edit: FUCKING TABOO. Do you mean in Disney or Hybrid cuz both were hilarious.

Hybrid, I wasn't there for Disney's

Why do you think it's a policy push? Your slot has made consistently scummy posts this game. For instance your IC post, regardless of being a joke, was unnecessary to post so late in the game. Indeed, it attracted some answers, which aids scum looking busy while doing nothing constructive.
~Ircher

Not playing at whatever standard you've set for a town is not the same as not being a town.

Also, I'm riling up scum on the daily. That's what my play style is about. I have reads, I have solved, you commented nothing on those posts.

Thread locked before I could post this:



I'm so sad none of you knew about a Dirty Russian. I took a gamble at the end and it didn't pay off. I was hoping insomnia would see I had eliminated one word from his list and just yolo guess the others. I had no idea how to tie Intern into most things, and was trying to only hint at things that would only hit innocent words at the very least. I triiiied, and you guys did really really good, so I'm proud of y'all anyways <3

Also, if y'all wanna play actual codenames: https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=77554


~xoffy

Professional should be related to intern easily. An intern is trying to be a professional.

I'm really not sure where Gingerbread came from with Russian.

~Titus

THANK YOU.

I feel a little validated now.

Edit: Pokemon was relevant there too

~xoffy

[Feminist Blocc]

Yeah we probably should've got that, it just threw me for a loop because I thought "an intern isn't a professional" and wrote it off even though that's not very good logic

Russian gingerbread wasn't great but we were really lost so it seemed okay

[Disaster Artists]

That was fun even though we lost horribly! Thanks for playing everyone <3

I never would've got dirty russian or professional intern tbh so I think it was probably a lost cause

Also Datisi has told me he's not playing mafia and I don't want to leave this slot empty so, I guess I'm going to have to actually play instead of just doing a support role. unfortunately I have no idea how to play mafia, I was mediocre before but now I've stopped playing for a year I'm just totally useless.

Whatever the hot topic is Farkran/anime hydra right? While I was reading I got townvibes from him, I guess it could be playstyle but I remember liking his analysis. I liked cappy too because I kinda mindmelded with their thoughts on Searchers earlier.

Pedit: Ircher it's too late this thread isn't going to be readable no matter how we try to regulate the discussion.

-aus

what do you mean? like he's not doing more mafia today or...?

he was great in the event!

-JC

[Feminist Blocc]

Uhh I guess I should give all reads?
{DA, BHD, Imperium, Mikoto/Kuroko, Despair, Lati@s, Cappy} came off as town. The only one that's pinged me as scum so far is Searchers, I have a lot of nulls

VOTE: Searchers

since dats isn't playing the mafia part i can do whatever i want with this vote now!

pedit: Datisi's still playing the events pretty sure, he just doesn't want to play in this game because he can't keep up with it and he hates larges, we both thought this wasn't going to be a real mafia game and it was going to be mostly events and memes with a bit of mafia on the side too. I agree he was great! He actually told me before the event but I didn't get around to actually doing stuff earlier, oops

[The Searchers]

PSA: Discussing the event in here is not advancing the town win condition.

I want egospray to talk more about their read on our slot.
~Ircher

We don't have anywhere else to discuss it and it was really fun, party pooper

- Silver Bullet

Okay that was s bit harsh on my part. Let me rephrase it:

PSA: You can discuss the event here, but it adds to the clutter in the thread. Try to include some game-related (i.e.: relating to alignments) stuff in your posts as well.

@Despair Night:

As I stated earlier, 123 was obnoxious and overly pedantic. It's the sort of thing scum does to aggravate town and try to trip them up.

699 and 702 are of some substance, I'll give you that. Everything before that is practically fluff though, so having two semi-decent posts out of like 25 or so far is not a good prospect.

737 also reads really scummy to me. It pulls too much on the self-meta angle, and I don't see why Despair (as town) would bring it up. We're the only ones really pushing the slot. It reads more of an excuse/attempt to write off any complaints about their earlier posts.

Those are a few of the issues I see.
~Ircher

[Despair Night]

Cappy (+50%): The posting restriction is definitely +town equity. I doubt it's faked even if it is Hectic we're talking about.

You spent all of your questions on hectic's posts and the only reason you can come up for town him is the posting restriction?

~som

[The Searchers]

SirCakez was doing the questioning.

I don't personally have a lot of experience with Hectic outside of marathons. I think the posting restriction alone is high +town equity even if it's not enough to guarantee they are town.

somni would you switch off from the megalarge tryhard style by switching to full pantshead meming as scum?

~som

[The Searchers]

To be clear, posts wise, Cappy's posts haven't really struck me one way or the other. I thought their read on our slot was relatively reasonable I guess.
~Ircher

pedit: Go ahead and lynch us. It's town loss.

[Despair Night]

I'm doing full reads tomorrow, this is more of a spite vote and putting Searchers in the spotlight, as their vote and scum hunting doesn't extend beyond "Despair is scum and whatever they post is anti-town and thus scum". Admitting Hectic's posting restriction is town when whoever made the rainbow percentage reads said "Even if it's hectic we're talking about" and deciding to town lean him anyway just based on that after deciding to waste 20 posts on asking him questions, is a leap in logic that I don't comprehend.

For now it's more of a spite vote but it has some scum equity. Start hunting, you're not hunting.

You voted Spiffy with me and Imperium, why did you switch on me without talking on that at all? There's a lot of questions but it's late, I'll come back later.

~som

[The Searchers]

So this is my first non-IC newbie game. Welcome everyone, and JC especially from our history. I had a custom of posing some introductory questions to get the game started:

1. What is your experience at Mafia
2. How do you play as town
3. How do you play as scum
4. What do you think gives away a player as scum or town

~som

I have issues with this post but ill answer anyways and then give my thoughts on it.

1. Years of experience, to the point where ive been almost selected for Champs at MU more then once.
2 & 3 Have Chemist answer this for me. He knows how I play. Me giving any answer would make it wifom while having him answer for me would tie us together, and it would help me read him based off his answer on me.
4. I think chems answer to the above would help answer this more then anything i could give honestly

the issues i have with this is that no matter what alignment you have, your going to try to make it seem like your town from these answers, even if its nt 100% true. Theyre just not good questions.

wouldnt you get much more info if we posted our latest scum/town games?

That post was obviously a joke...why even answer?

Scumreading The Searchers right now, because I don't really vibe with their earlier reads.

Ircher already attacked this but yeah this is bollocks reasoning for your apparently strongest scumread?

Anyways SB do you still think Smol is scum now that they've dropped some other stuff?
I'm gonna address the DN stuff after this post
WHERE DO WE FIND THE EVENT TIMES????

B/C Ircher disagrees with me about Spiffy
I think it's a ridiculous misrep to say we have done no scumhunting but push you.

SC

[The Searchers]

Simple. While my partner did feel somewhat strongly about the Spiffy read, I disagreed to a significant extent, and we collectively decided you were the better vote.

Just gonna throw out that we have scumreads on egospray and Smol Might, but both are low hanging fruit in a way and not worth pursuing at the moment.
~Ircher

[The Searchers]

DN are you basically just OMGUSing us at this point? You literally have not mentioned us in your ISO before this interaction.

In addition to what Ircher listed I have a couple other slight SRs but I'm not confident enough to out them atm

Okay I guess I have to address this. I must've missed that. Also, I was going off memory. There were multiple posts of yours that struck me the wrong way when I was doing my catchup today. (I didn't note every single one of them down.) The IC post was kinda like the last straw in a sense.

It's not necessarily just individual posts that stand out as scummy to me, but it's a more holistic read of your slot. Just the whole general vibe is that you are pushing this aggressive playstyle while not doing much of substance. It feels like you're trying to dissuade interactions and dismiss any that look negatively upon you.

Also let me make one final thing clear: we are by no means discounting your positive contributions, which your slot does possess. We're saying that on the whole, the negatives outweigh the positives, and your posts show a trend of a scummy mindset. You say that we aren't fairly evaluating you to your standards, and you may be right to an extent. (I possess no meta experience with you.) But that doesn't mean what you have done does not point towards a scum agenda. If you are town, you have to act like it and convince others of such even if your meta differs from the norm.
~Ircher

[Spiffybringer]

You voted Spiffy with me and Imperium, why did you switch on me without talking on that at all?

I would argue that Searchers is one of the only ones that really talked about my slot significantly?

~Spiffy

[Despair Night]

I’ll reply back when you define what a scum agenda is to you and how I fit that.

To SC and Ircher. ^

To Spiffy, I have no idea what you’re angling towards. State your reason for the vote or I’ll treat it as omgus and likely just ignore you.
