I'm sorry for not sussing him as much as you do?  I want to see him interact with more people.  I'm not sold that his jump on you and poorly reasoned OMGUS on Kivam are necessarily scummy.

 

How convinced are you that Crusher is scum at this point?

 

 

Oh no no no. Don't throw in that, sorry i'm not suspecting him as much as you do crap. You were making it seem like it wouldn't make sense for him, as scum, to go for the two people he knows... that if he avoided Kiv and I he could float around.... and that you would like him to interact more with the none JN crowd. As it were he has played with at least half the players in this game.... so what you're saying is not true. Kapish?

 

And I am confident he's scum. He's not wiggling out of this, lovable as he may be.

 

 

Fair enough.  It doesn't immediately convince me that his play has to come from scum.  Does it water down my doubts concerning his scum credentials?  A bit.

This.  Except it's D1, so I don't know how "confident" I am ... but he's the best thing going.

 

Hurts to type those words, especially since I know how much Crush wanted to play another game.

 

Crush, would bacon make this sting less?

Calder, we haven't communicated at all this game.

I don't believe we have.

 

This also reminds me. Has Laine posted?

Hello, I'm Laine. Nice to meet you. I posted a spoilered catch up earlier (pg26?) where I may or may not have asked you a question and weighed in on some of the Shad stuff.

Ahh. Did not realize that was you.

 

You have question for me?

Most of us are WoT reader.

 

Okay. That makes sense. I do read a ton and mostly in the fantasy genre, but have never read any of the WoT series. So was interested.

In spoiler because mehh lots of quotes, don't wanna crowd things up.

Read up to the top of pg10 for now, so this is what I have so far.

Few questions within (Shad, Calder, Clov, Andrej)

 

 

 

 

Here. As I said, limited me until Thursday. Possibly no me until Thursday. I will do my best. I've now been awake for like 35 hours straight and won't be sleeping for another 8-9.

Alanna tired y'all

#helpme

Alanna's playing to her scum meta here.

 

 

 

Rage will be worth it.

 

 

? Unfortunately though, the last two(?) games I've been scum in, I was horribly behind all of d1. I think I'm getting into terrible habits in general though :rolleyes:

 

"I hope she's not keeping quiet because she's afraid I'm high-tuned to her scum game."

:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

 

 

[v]Calder[/v]

Scum.

 

Too easy probably, but it crossed my mind.

This post really pinged me when I read it and the followup is "meh"....

Oh hey this isn't actually your first mafia game.

^

 

Calder's post #45 doesn't make sense to me. I don't think that post was meant as a soft defense. If we're going by Shad thinking this was your first game, I can see where it crosses a player's mind that newbies roll scum (are we looking at the same OP?) But at the same time, I'm not sure I believe that, due to your comfortability in the sign up thread or your OP. Shad is more observant than this unless he didn't really read any of it and took comfortability as a matter of course. Shad's first game was very ~odd in that he seemed more experienced that he should have been and many assumed mafia (coaching).

 

That being said, not sure I'm feeling the "half-hearted defense" angle that Calder takes. But this post is believable, as well as Shad's followup on post 54 (it lines up with my train of thought above about him not reading- how much merit is there to this?). His dodging posts don't do him any favors though, but I'm not sure that's within his mafia meta.

 

 

Lol. Damn phone. Response went into the quote section. So repeated below (shortened):

My issue is that it has the feel of a post that doesnt need to be made. It is game related, but says nothing and means little. So why post it if ur town?

Its the scum "hey guys im active post."

 

Interesting.  Would you expect scum to post read-related fluff right off the bat?

Feels slightly defensive, but I can see Shad saying this as town to get a read on Calder, especially now knowing he's experienced.

 

I'm probably going to regret this, but I've got Calder as reasonable town right now.  I don't hate the reasoning for his initial push against Shad at all, and his response to Shad's question wasn't wrong IMO.

 

Gutread on Shad was just barely above rand for mafia after Calder's point, and #50 sounded like he was trying too hard to appear not concerned, but #54 is plausible enough to keep him null at this point.

Clov, first sentence worries me, second confuses me, and last bit had me nodding my head along.

Not bad.

 

Tbh I was sort of intrigued by Shad's initial response to my vote because I didn't actually have a reason for it. His explanation in misunderstanding that Calder isn't new was plausible at the least.

 

Calder's push back was alright. I like that he noted Shad's +1 although I hadn't specified anything but he seems experienced enough to be able to play the POV game. His response to my vote was null but there was nothing really to respond to. I just wanted to see how he'd react early on since he's new to me.

 

 

Townie post

 

 

 

 

 

 

I literally cannot wait to watch these two interact.

YESSSSS

 

Hah.

 

You made 2 nonchalant posts (46 and 50), which i have been criticizing. So your post again is worthless.

 

Also you have only asked one significant question and i answered that you were leading and it was a WIFOM question with no answer.

Question: Can you see a villager being nonchalant about pressure in an attempt to diffuse pressure?

 

Andrej being helpful townie and preaching. Fos

I take this back reading in context. Andrej looking good ITT

 

The fact he's being helpful means ~nothing towards his alignment.  AJ is a very good player so I don't think he's incapable of making that post as mafia at all.  I think Mafia!AJ would probably WANT a bunch of early fakepeeks, since they (theoretically) would have a lower likeliness of being accurate and that helps narrow the NK poe, but I don't think he's going to come in and recommend it - especially when a handful of us recently played with him in the same setup when he waited to post a peek for accuracy reasons.  He was town, and I'm positive he's smart enough to know the sudden change of heart would stand out.

 

That being said, I don't see how it would ever warrant a FoS.  I'm giving him 0 towncred for trying to be helpful, but I don't see a reasonable argument why anybody would suspect him for being mafia for it.

Anyways... I said this post was odd because it just popped out of nowhere. My Fos was not serious, my subsequent post towards Clov about the seriousness of my post was also not serious. So, I found this post of his to be out of place because it doesn't match up with the attitude that I was presenting ITT at that point, which was something similar to exhausted playful indifference?

 

Kiv is right in #127

I only just understood Clov's post #128... I literally asked for him to decide it for me then called him out for explaining. OMG wow I'm sorry dear LOL My point above still mostly(?) stands though, maybe except for the first line :laugh:

 

I also concede my points on Andrej that I made about his posts (p7) :rolleyes:

 

#143 Shad, do you think Calder being sure you are mafia and not allowing for a town alternative is motivated by town or mafia thinking? 

 

#151 interesting from Zander: this would destroy the credibility that Shad just missed the Calder-talk

 

#157 from Shad... I think I would like this post better if you straight up answered the accusation instead of brushing it off again. You're a little sloppy this game :sad: Also, no more quote pyramids. They suck.

 

 

 

So far I like Zander, Clov, Andrej for the most part. Wary of Calder. Iffy on Shad. What I'm getting caught up with irt Shad is how he was in Pulp Fiction. It was a gut feel that he was mafia, but on the thread itself he was pretty clean. So here and now, I'm not getting that same gut feel, but it appears he's getting tripped up in the thread. Maybe things will clear up a little bit better when I read some more though?

 

I also get this weird feeling that all that's been talked about d1 is Shad. If he turns out to be our lynch and flips town, I'm going to be a little bothered that it was so easy for mafia to sit back in this exchange and let it happen. Basically, I want to see some pressure happen in other areas too :)

highlighted it.

 

I guess it doesn't really matter the question. But not a fan of being ignored either, especially when you should be trying to read the people on the thread. But that's just my opinion, I don't know how to play this stupid game anyways :laugh:

Calder... there's only like 13 players. And you only really have to keep up with 12 apart from yourself. Who did you think I was, some random posting on the thread? I feel so unloved. Thanks.

 

I joined for WoT. Been on the site for over 5 years, in and out of the social groups. Started playing mafia soon after I joined.

Another thing. Are people here mostly WoT readers or did you guys just hijack this section to play mafia?

Funny you should ask, I'd read the wheel of time (what books were out anyway) before joining but I joined specifically for mafia.

I was checking the list to see if anyone was laying low and didnt associate Laine immediately with you for some reason so asked. Knew u were playing.

Alanna - I saw your question when i was skimming this morning right before my commute, but forgot to respond bc it was built into a huge catchup wall.

 

Do i think a villager would attempt a nonchalant or brush-off move to avoid pressure. Sure. Happens all the time. But, i think it raises eyebrows bc of its effectiveness. He did two in a row so i pushed him and was never satisfied with how long it took to get him to engage me or in his confusing responses.

 

I pushed bc of his response, but it def is not enough to be alignment indicative which is what i think your getting at. My dislike of Shad is the culmination of that action, his circular evasiveness, and the fact that its blatantly clear he never did anything but be defensive.

Nyn don't judge, you know my weird schedule for the most part lol

That doesn't sound any better Calder :laugh:

Don't really care how it sounds, since its the truth. Have not played with you people before so there is going to be some degree of confusion in the beginning, especially since the name was shortened in the list.
