Bear in mind we're also looking for an SK, so probably just one scum.

Uh, how would dunking RF not put us in this exact same scenario? [a repeated D1]

I'm not understanding how my saying "why would you vote RF" relates to Krell at all.

This is a pretty obvious deflection off RF in retrospect, I agree with Birdstrike - it's possible that the Quid scumslip jump could have been bussing? I never felt it was that reasonable, and with the benefit of hindsight would have expected Quid to bulldog it more if it was sincere.

I also see in my reread that Evan jumped around a ton on Day 1 before settling on the easy Krell vote, and then came out Day 2 with this mishmash of reads:

St Evan Echoes posted:

Hi folks, apologies. I have not had very much time to play and there are legit reasons why I can contribute better to the other game than this one. I am town in both games btw.

Here are my reads so far
RF: don't think the "scumslip" means anything. Reads town to me.
Grandicap: thought he was scum early on D1 but nah he's town af
hexwren: possibly scum imo. Overly defensive when called out on anything
Podima: like hex, has tried to get ppl posting more content (:blush:) but seems like they're doing it more in good faith
Birdstrike: think his vote today is bad in a disingenuous way as opposed to a "probably wrong" way, #1 scum candidate
Thranguy: I'm going on the assumption that he is town but I don't have a hugely strong town read. More basing it on votes for him from people I'm getting scumreads from (BS, hex).
Quidthulu: Neutral. Good case (if wrong) against Krell but seems like his posting is so obnoxious that that's an easy case to make. Don't really like how hard he went after RF for something that was prob just poorly worded.

Okay thanks everyone, I will be around more from now on I hope.

The Quid read is a whole lot of nothingburger, and as previously mentioned the Grandi read was totally unjustified at the time based on the posts he had. Also the Thran read is very hedgey given that he was building as the vote for the day at the time, and yet Evan never came back and engaged with that lynch at all.

Morning folks. Here is a summary of my thoughts so far.

Birdstrike at this point is the person I’m 100% sure is town. Basing this on the assumption that of two scum, one would do the kill and the doctor would protect the killer. Since I know BS was blocked last night, he must be town. This is my understanding of how roleblocking works.

Podima I’m mostly sure is town for the same reasons as above. The Miller claim is weird, so I’m a bit less convinced on him. It’s possible he put the breadcrumb out there d1 and got backed into claiming today in case someone quoted his post. Probably benign though, because he could have just not claimed at all.

I am very happy to vote for either of the other two guys today.

Hex managing to avoid interaction with Quid over D1 and D2 is a scumtell imo. Quid also threw down a joke vote on hex early d1, which could be a bit of scumbro banter. Dropping the hammer on Thran to end d2 was also a wise move for a scum to do, having the plausible deniability of avoiding a no-lynch.

RF hasn’t really built a big case on anyone and just drifted through the game without getting too involved in any arguments, which reads like a serial killer trying not to get noticed by scum or town. Never played SK but I think that’s probably what I would do if I was.

Given than wren is apparently gonna be a hard sell, RF would make sense to lynch today imo

I'd be OK with a RF or Evan vote today. I feel pretty good about Birdstrike atm (which also elevates RF over Evan for a preferred lynch purely based on claim) and am not sold on the case against Wren.

Will be on the road for a chunk of the day, but should be around for deadline.

If that's the best RF can offer I'm pretty comfortable with a ##vote RF. Way too noncommittal this whole game on top of the Quid interactions.

How little can you actually play mafia and have it still be considered mafia?

since the day one vote, RF hasn't had a single point to make that isn't a vague, unsubstantiated gut feeling. Come on. Play, or don't.

I walk up to perform a late shift at the video store, but I find the doors locked. I peer inside the glass, to find the walls and racks empty. A sign hangs over the door. It reads "Out of business due to the proliferation of Netflix and other Video On Demand services and also a severe lack of customers who still own a VCR." This was the most infathomable result possible. Half stuck in the drop box is a tape. It's mangled...but this doesn't appear to be a regular tape. No, it in fact has a miniature casette inside of it!

quote:

"

Your next door neighbor...something isn't right, you just can't put your finger on it. A creature of the night? Who knows. You yourself feel strange urges, impulses, but you would never knowingly act on them..right? You are representing FRIGHT NIGHT! You're pretty sure you are TOWN-ALIGNED VANILLA! You will win when all threats to town have been eliminated...one way or another.

At night, some dark forces take over. You can't control it. You don't even know it's going on. You are TOWN-ALIGNED MR. HYDE! During the night, you will at random kill another player. You have no control over this and won't even know you did such horrible acts. If visited at night, your kill will be unsuccessful and whoever visits you will learn of your true nature. You will win when all threats to town have been eliminated."

Retro Futurist, TOWN-ALIGNED Mr. Hyde, was lynched on Day 3.

quote:

"

If there is one thing you know, it's space. Ah, the calm of the otherworld. And you're good at thievin too! Along with putting people on Ice! You are THE ICE PIRATES! You are a TOWN-ALIGNED ROLEBLOCKER! During the night phase, you may ##ROLEBLOCK a target player. Any visiting night actions they have will fail! You will win when all threats to town have been eliminated!"
ST EVAN ECHOES HAS BEEN ENDGAMED.

"

One thing you can't stand is your people being terrorized. You don't have time for scumbags who think they can treat other people as though they're lesser. You don't have time for it, and if you see this kind of oppression and intolerance continue, you know it will be up to you to DO THE RIGHT THING. You are a TOWN-ALIGNED VANILLA! You have no actions, and will only win when all threats to town have been eliminated!"

Deceitful and black-hearted, perhaps we are. But we would never go against the Code. Well, perhaps for good reasons. But mostly never.
Had a bad feeling watching the last day go down. Kept thinking "If opop were scum, why wouldn't they fakeclaim vig at that point?" Certainly didn't expect what did happen, though.

We should feel lucky to have done this well, with 3.5 scum in an 11 player game. And every one of us completely missing our night actions every time, even if that did keep us out of the scum doctor trap...

My other two movies were Miracle Mile (which may have been the only actually good movie anyone had) and Superman IV: The Quest for Peace, btw.

Yeah, I only remember one line from my movie and it was hard to work 'screaming like banshees' into the flow of day zero, not to mention that I didn't think I could pull off using that movie to make any claim look less scummy...
