I've played this setup before, I think. I can't actually find the game, maybe I was on an alt before. Also, I don't remember what happened, but i think there was talk about lynching the ic and we never lynched the ic.

It is correct to lynch a corner, I believe

So I actually played in a run of this setup before (the one Dunn was in, as well as our glorious mod Umlaut), where scum didn't kill the IC n1. Here's the game:
https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?f=84&t=68044

They still managed to win because we still hadn't flipped scum by 5p so we couldn't just win the tic tac toe game outright without losing to mafia majority if we lynched wrong. We hit scum in 5p but then lost in LYLO and I'm still a bit salty about it, hence why I jumped at the chance to play this again!

I agree we should lynch in the corners today
Scum lynched me day 1 when I was in the corner and they were in the exact position on the board as t-bone, and they won

Just saying.

The same position relative to you? Because you are not in the same corner in this game.

UNVOTE: Dunnstral
VOTE: Maxwell
Yes, I was bottom left, scum was right middle. This game I'm bottom right, T-bone is left middle

In post 90, maxwell wrote:I put a lot of thought into the setup while I was waiting for the game to start and while I'll say more later, day 1 should be played for a long-term strategy. Getting strong townreads can basically win the game automatically. Still need to develop reads to get there, though so I'd rather see day 1 play out 'normally', I just ask that no one be put at L-1 because any quickhammer is severely damaging to the gamestate.

It's already way late here so I can't spend all night typing things up but I'll try to give some quick thoughts:

despite finding the reasoning in his last post somewhat odd, I actually like Clover as town here - his push on guiltylion feels genuine with the way he's investigating his stances rather than trying to push on something cheap.

I like that guiltylion actually bothered to investigate my activity, on first pass I thought he was town but on a reread didn't like his back and forth with clover as much. I'm tired so my thinking is not the best. Still shows more evidence of tying to be proactive than most.

If I could confidently townread Blair I'd declare the game to be won already, but I can't - the early excessive setup talk comes across as avoiding scumhunting, and felt like she hands out townreads too easily in #40 and #73.

Dunnstral has been fillery, devoid of content, with a rather awkward start. Don't see what other people are seeing in the townread there. I'll be reading Micro 639 to see if that's just his meta/if he's easy lynchbait, though.

T-Bone's opening was fillery/useless, lot of talk about the setup and past games. Do kind of like his empty vote on Dunn, though, becuase I didn't like his start either, but it does look off given he started the game similarly.

Kanna: really fillery start, plus a weak sheep of clover's vote on guiltylion while only committing to "I kind of agree" in #67. probably the scummiest of everyone who's posted.


Well, that took me too long and I'm not super happy with it, but I need to sleep.
Scummy post relating to me & T-bone

not a fan of you casting me as a newbie tho I'll have you know I have played an

amount of games here over 5 years thank you

I haven't liked maxwell's posts so far
Who has played with GuiltyLion before? I have a question.

If GuiltyLion is scum, being perceived as a newbie when he is not is objectively an advantage - being underestimated where you are competent and overestimated where you are not is strategically ideal (insert vapid Tsun Zhu reference here).

GuiltyLion throws that advantage away here, ostensibly to defend his reputation as an experienced player.

Is GuiltyLion the kind of player who looks a gift horse in the mouth? I'm discounting all the WIFOM-fuel answers here in favor of either A.) he is not the sort of player who believes being underestimated is an advantage, or B.) he is that sort of player, but didn't mind tossing that advantage in the garbage here because he's town and doesn't care about that sort of thing.

(If the answer really is "C.) he knows it's an advantage but tossed it aside here for the even greater advantage of being townread by Blair for doing so" then please don't even answer - I don't need that kind of stress)
His join date is 2015... he wouldn't get away with pretending to be a newbie regardless, so he wouldn't try to do it

If I'm being less reactionary Maxwell put up a blanket 'this person is fillery' read for everyone who wasn't talking about mechanics

I don't have any kind of read on Kanna yet

I think T-bone is scummy; I think Blair said they were town because they were talking about mechanics early? I don't buy into that, I don't see a reason for mafia to avoid talking about mechanics - I do it all the time as mafia, actually

Also don't reference micro 639 @maxwell, that game was 4 years ago - the only similarity is that it's the same setup as this one. I pushed to lynch the ic to establish board dominance in that game, I don't agree with that anymore

Their name must make them guilty
This is a weird vote, GuiltyLion has posted plenty to get a read from IMO so making this as an rvs vote while other people are voting him is weird

Do we have different reasons? Maybe let him answer the damn question first. He seemed to be attacking him for similar reasons, though.
I wasn't going after him for a lack of content, I was talking about different things

Only reason I hadn't voted your slot was I was waiting to see if Rozyroy could come up with anything convincing to explain what seemed like a scum move; but then he left, so he never will

And now you're acting like scum trying to discredit me
