[Basic] The Circle Mafia - Game over

[Darthe]

 

 

 

When I got my role PM I thougut I was evil.

 

Nope. Town this game.

 

Mafia wanna concede yet?

 

 

Ishy is total obv town btw.

Mister Darthe good to see you! Promise not to bug you too much about game stuff this time around, seeing as I am going solo.

 

However, do please explain to me how Ishy is town and how you arrived to that conclusion.

And Snow looks good. Lets vote peace

Read above.

 

 

no wonder she is worried about mistakes lol that woulda scared the beelzebub outta me first game or 2.

 

Cloud your vote stands out cause its the third vote she has recieved already. a joke vote from me, GND and then you.

I don't count my votes because I don't care how my play comes across. It's about time that this game gets started.

I second this opinion. Page 4 and I see fluff mostly.

Hello Luci! So wonderful to see you again. I look forward to our match. In response to your queries I will be happy to explain my reasoning. However, doing so requires a bit of history.

 

First you should know that Ishy and I go back to my first game where we were mafia together. For some reason we have always been pretty dead on with reading one another, probably due in large part to that.

 

Second, reading people is not only my hobby but also is a large part of my professional and academic life. In the time that I have played with these (and other) fine folk I have learned that some things are fairly universal weaknesses. One of my favorites to use is the disoriented and fractured composure of someone who is just settling into a game, attempting to start things for themselves and attempting to reconcile their role PM. Thus, for me, the smallest hints in tone and phrasing in a persons first few posts are vulnerable to their true intentions and allow me to gain a rapid insight into their motivations. While not always effective this has provided rather good results so far. Allow me to show what I saw and how I analyzed it.

 

Vote Key.

First note that all that Ishy has done was place a vote here. One with a period at the end of it, probably not even intended but rather a tic of proper punctuation stating that he does this with resolution. This is, for him, an obvious thing to do based on his relationship with Key. He didn't attempt to joke about it or play around, he simply did as he always does. We can consider this a safe and null investment.

 

More to follow.

Who's Lovie?

Three guesses.

Here we get a bit of playful banter. He is relaxed, passive. He is keeping things simple and not trying to blend in.

 

Sure, it's much better than what you call me in private.

And then we see a redundant example of this. What is shown here can better be explained as meta in hypermode. This is not a player stepping into a role or position. This isn't someone who intends much of anything. He has no need to start and thus no concern for presence or performance. Now, the question of what about this makes him town? Nothing. It simply makes him less lilely to be mafia as compared to people who fail to do these things. Since I speak definitively in mafia and my goal for the day is to narrow my list of suspects to increase my chances of finding mafia, even if superficial in nature, what you get from my ascertained tells is "Ishy is obv town" which helps me watch him react to it, see what others do in response to such an early concrete statement, and even has some truth behind it to my eyes.

 

Now, normally I don't bother explaining things like this because it is disbelieved and because I don't want people to watch themselves more from the get-go but today I did because A) you're kind and I like you and B) people assumed I wouldn't.

You saying I'm echoing you in that post is funny. I hadn't caught up yet and read yours . I even said as much. Now your just not paying attention. I know you'll probably say I said that to cover my butt, but your wrong. Cloud I can't decide if your town and latching to what you think is something, or scumlatching on something to attempt to achievea lynch.

[Darthe]

And here....we....go.

 

Vote Hallucination.

As for John Snow I can't explain it which is why I went for the slightly more hedgy "looking good". Basically this is just me knowing him and seeing something I wouldn't expect from him if mafia. He tended to rush his game more and should have here since he hasn't been scum in so long. Excitement, ya know?

[keyholder21]

While Luci is delightful, I'm sure it's more B than A.  

[Darthe]

That is all that you have to say about that?

[Darthe]

Thatthatthatthatthat

[John E. Kelley]

I'm not even sure what she meant, or who she was talking to.

 

What gives Em?

[Luciena]

 Darthe thank you very much, for going to the effort,very much appreciated. I am going to enjoy this game 

[Hallucination]

No problem. I will gladly teach you how to play mafia, lol

 

Teach me too?

 

 

And here....we....go.

Nah we are friends and he got me here, but I still say we lynch him *Nods*

[michellem]

Nothing says "best friends forever" like lynching each other

[keyholder21]

That is all that you have to say about that?

Yes, because it's impossible to tell from this early and you're just looking for reactions.

[keyholder21]

Responding separately bc I'm on mobile atm.

 

I'm not even sure what she meant, or who she was talking to.

 

What gives Em?

If you read Darthe's post, it would be obvious :p. Skimming Warderlove?

Vote Mish.

 

[Darthe]

Nope. I believed it which is why I said it. Did I not just type out an entire passage explaining my reasons?

 

Actually, you avoiding reacting because you think I am looking for reactions is scummy.

 

FoS for now.

[Darthe]

Double ninjad. And ishy not reading my post is also a sign of towniness.

[Darthe]

Also, I have a game that needs people. If anybody wants to try out something differen PM me plz.

[keyholder21]

Yeah, and I think your reasons are silly.

 

I also think your FoS is silly. Avoiding a reaction when you know that's what someone is looking for is useful for either alignment.

Since when were you Town?

Also, Sorry, I deleted his Quote and I didnt know how to get it back so I kinda just went with that :(

[Darthe]

I don't understand your question.

 

Also, Key doesn't get it :p

My reaction: Appreciate you explaining yourself. As for why you find Ishy town...mostly meta which to me is null as people can use that to purposely change their play.

He said he was town in his first post.

Behavior can be changed. Personality remains mostly consistent. Thats a rule of psych.

 

Also, who would say they aren't town? Really a moot point.

[GoldeneyesND]

What's your profession Darthe?

[Kaylee]

I just mean I personally changed my playstyle for one game, was town and was lynched because I was "off my meta".
