Open 831: Hanahaki Disease [game over!]

[NorwegianboyEE]

VOTE: Pooky
The bear is dangerous. I demand immediate sheeping from all junior players (join date < 16 Oct 2016)

Are you more dangerous?

[NorwegianboyEE]

I’ll only sheep the most dangerous and gangster bad boy in the block.

[NorwegianboyEE]

Lmao

[NorwegianboyEE]

I have not read the setup. But i got a town role pm anyway so who cares.

[NorwegianboyEE]

What’s everyone think of the setup?

8 town 3 mafia.

Very interesting setup.
I wonder what strategies the mafia will have to make in order to not be eliminated and how town will attempt to hunt for the mafia. Exciting setup stuff.

Really gotten into the meat of it.

I think what town needs to do is kill the scum, would be a real big play if they can pull it off.
Whew, tell me if you got any different conclusions from that exciting setup.

[NorwegianboyEE]

Deimos is bussing already i see

[NorwegianboyEE]

Oh noo. I just realized i might be paired with N_M again.

Noooouuuuuuu

[NorwegianboyEE]

Y’all are just street thugs.
I need an alpha.

[NorwegianboyEE]

Y’all are just street thugs.

Oh, and an clown.

[NorwegianboyEE]

Oh how i amuse myself at the mannerisms of you so called veterans.

Do you yet not understand that the biggest impact comes from the vote that is at an much later point in the game than the ones hastily rushed out during the RVS?

[NorwegianboyEE]

Provocative playstyles annoy me and make me feel provoked

That’s how mafia works.

[NorwegianboyEE]

how is deimos still alive

Found the alpha.

[NorwegianboyEE]

i think the first quote is self-explanatory, so why dont you go first?

I believed that voting myself created a favourable vote distribution by tying the leading wagons. The associations created by how players react to / break ties are one of the few ways I know how to generate useful information from RVS after some flips later in the game.

More briefly, I was hoping to incentivise someone to vote me (or N_M) and break the tie in an informative manner.

More briefly still, I also found it funny and fun.

Whatevs NERD

[NorwegianboyEE]

Pooky, take me.

[NorwegianboyEE]

I’m not sure a game of mafia is the place for that.

[NorwegianboyEE]

Oh dear we're on the third page already.
Should be plenty of content for a full readslist from you Clem. Please provide within 5 minutes or be labelled confscum

sorry i was playing genshin impact

Scum

Deimos

Town

Everyone else

I think town!clem somehow acknowledges the fact that I'm teasing him here about his inability to form reads early.

In general he feels abnormally... emotionally distant.

That's aside from the fact that knowing my meta I don't think he ever votes me.

My views grow stronger.

I don’t like this read.

You are the weakest link.

Goodbye.

VOTE: Deimos27

[NorwegianboyEE]

Damn, Deimos is the reason i signed up to this game. But his posts felt so fake.

[NorwegianboyEE]

I don’t really have an opinion whether you two get loverized or not.
Up to you two.

[NorwegianboyEE]

Oh wait. If it’s SvT then it means that we’ll have to kill both in order to get rid of the scum.

Ok it’s important, never mind. I’ll probably have an opinion then.

[NorwegianboyEE]

So we can have a big bold S+S play. The mechanically smart SvT play, the mechanically dumb but good for WIFOM TvT play.
I think it’s the most likely that it’s TvS.

[NorwegianboyEE]

Scum will probably never loverize two town slots that townread or are likely to townread each other.

Gamma, Queen. Do you two have any history together? Of reading each other wrong or whatever?

[NorwegianboyEE]

I think this shouldn’t be an lover team because i don’t see any positives in having it.

[NorwegianboyEE]

That's it I'm going to stop pretending I have day 1 reads. People got on my case for not having any, but time and time again shows my d1 reads are trash. I will compile a list of examples, put them in my sig, and point to it every time someone gives me shit.
i WILL

This post probably comes from town.

Why?

[NorwegianboyEE]

T3, are you scum again?

[NorwegianboyEE]

I think this shouldn’t be an lover team because i don’t see any positives in having it.

You do realize it’s far less likely for Queen to be scum than Gamma right.

You’re advocating for a scenario that most likely kills town for no good reason.

What the heck are you talking about?

[NorwegianboyEE]

If Queen accepts and either of Queen/Gamma are scum then we’ll kill both if they loverize right? So if one is town and the other is scum then we’ll unnecesarilly kill an extra town on top of it.
Isn’t that how this thing works?

[NorwegianboyEE]

do you sr norwee over gamma?

Nah, Gamma over Norwee; it’s just an endorsement of Norwee as scum.

That’s mainly because I find his mentality of “let it die” clunky, which maybe isn’t as scummy as I want it to be. >_> But saying “I don’t like that pair so it shouldn’t happen” is dumb to me regardless.

The only benefit we get of Queen dying now rather than with Gamma anyways is her flip but I townread her and want her around until that moment.

Wait, Queen dies if Gamma doesn’t accept?

[NorwegianboyEE]

Ok so this setup is a lot more weird than i thought.

[NorwegianboyEE]

VOTE: accept proposal
Might as well
Just don't vote me out before I get a chance to use the PT, alright?

So if you’re scum we now need to kill Queen as well to get rid of you?

[NorwegianboyEE]

Ok i can see why Vulture reacted like that now. I didn’t think not accepting an loverize pact would mean that the player dies. Lmao.

[NorwegianboyEE]

VOTE: Pooky
I’m not doing another ElO with you.

[NorwegianboyEE]

Why Are You Talking With An Capitalization Of Every Single Sentence, I Find It Odd And Also Distracting. Not To Mention I'ts Tiresome Having To Constantly Press Caps Lock On And Off. How Do You Keep Doing This Without Going Insane?

[NorwegianboyEE]

im tempted to vote out clemency just for that avatar ngl

Shaddup Pooky and Die.

[NorwegianboyEE]

He Is Slippery And Will Slither

The snake in the grass.

[NorwegianboyEE]

Liar and father of lies. Liar and father of lies. Liar and father of lies.

[NorwegianboyEE]

you alright bro?

Yes, i'm feeling splendid.

[NorwegianboyEE]

The risk of eliminating 1 slot VS two slots is making me mess inclined to want Gamma for today.

[NorwegianboyEE]

less inclined*

[NorwegianboyEE]

I think that if Gamma or Queen is scum here, (tho i don't really sus Queen) then it doesn't make sense for them to be so bold as to tie himself together when Gamma hammered town yesterday. And from his POV i'd think he would be less desireful to make bold plays. So it's probably never SvS.
SvT or TvT are both possible, which makes it an disadvantage for town to eliminate there just yet imo. I'd rather have more time to sort these two slots than to immediately kill them now and potentially have two town die if our luck is bad. And even if say Gamma was scum we'd still lose town!Queen in that scenario. So it seems more wise to hunt for one of the two or three scum outside of the current lovers.

[NorwegianboyEE]

If Gamma is scum them mafia are like 100% likely to be bussing right now.

[NorwegianboyEE]

Gamma might be scum with Pooky but let's do Pooky first.

[NorwegianboyEE]

Gamma might also be town.

[NorwegianboyEE]

Pooky scumtho

[NorwegianboyEE]

T3 could be town.

Penguin is a penguin.

[NorwegianboyEE]

I probably townread Queen the strongest of the bunch here.

[NorwegianboyEE]

If Penguin insults you to your face but calls you town he's not scum.
If Penguin insults you to your face and also votes you, then he's scum.

[NorwegianboyEE]

Sit down and watch Netflix with me, we'll have only good vibes T3.

[NorwegianboyEE]

Can you stop calling me that.

[NorwegianboyEE]

NorwegianboyEE do you want to take the vote gamma challenge?

If you give me a good reason why i should.

[NorwegianboyEE]

NorwegianboyEE do you want to take the vote gamma challenge?

If you give me a good reason why i should.

Because you scum read gamma?

True, but i also like where i'm at. And i'd kill a townread either way if i vote Gamma.

[NorwegianboyEE]

I’ve tried to adapt my play to include the boys I like from his method and his response is wanton murderlust at me.

What?

[NorwegianboyEE]

Why the strong language.

[NorwegianboyEE]

i don't think nm's joking ever feels unnatural

He doesn’t feel natural, period.

[NorwegianboyEE]

VOTE: Gamma

[NorwegianboyEE]

Sorry Queen.

[NorwegianboyEE]

I could hammer Pooky right this instant

[NorwegianboyEE]

Wait no, it’s E-2

[NorwegianboyEE]

Oh Redtea, weren’t you in that Sin game?

[NorwegianboyEE]

Oh Redtea, weren’t you in that Sin game?

yeaah, I think we played that one together
with the corruption and stuff?

Yeah that one.

Do you think your playstyle has changed since then?

[NorwegianboyEE]

Gamma and Pooky both look so bad. But i can only kill one.

Sigh…

[NorwegianboyEE]

Oh ok.

Let’s kill bussing Pooky tommorow.

[NorwegianboyEE]

If he get’s loverized with an obvtown it’s an scumclaim.

[NorwegianboyEE]

Are you spewing that you’re not town in this game, Gamma.

[NorwegianboyEE]

Pretty easy to do considering you can just post the action in your PT

[NorwegianboyEE]

I’d still argue that elimination Pooky -> (Gamma/Queen) would have been an much more high level play than going (Gamma/Queen) -> Pooky.
But hey, N_M is in this game, so asking for the high level play might be a bit too much to expect.

[NorwegianboyEE]

So kill Pooky next.

[NorwegianboyEE]

Every single player that controlled the loverize option was scum lmao.

[NorwegianboyEE]

Pooky’s kill was a hard scumclaim too.

But they killed Redtea for some reason…

[NorwegianboyEE]

Both Penguin and N_M are the best town slots scum could ever hope to bring to ElO because they don't towntell, and didn't put in any effort whatsoever into solving the game.

[NorwegianboyEE]

There's a reason why i said in the dead PT that i could see any of the slots in it flipping scum.
