Mafia 42 - Space Ghost Coast to Coast - OFFICIAL GAME THREAD

[Nephthys]

@quas you are very correct about my limited engagement. I have limited time and so, up until now I've done targeted re-reads. Advice on how to participate from here (from all sources) is welcome. I'm hoping to do targeted reread of page blocks from here more or less. With extra if I have time, unfortunately most of it will be on mobile from here which makes it even harder.

[ghug]

hes coaching ghug how to play as scum oracle in my earnest opinion

There's just been an entire night phase. If I was scum with Ghug why would I openly coach him in the thread?

because ghug doesnt know how to be calm like you.
but im over it.

im onto damo666 now

I laughed out loud.

[CrimsonFox]

ghug!

[ghug]

Whassup I have had four drinks

[CrimsonFox]

[Ezio]

Yea N1 was very un-townbrainbomb-esque. Much more likely to have come from scum brainbomb.

[Ezio]

hey @lordquas, can I use your own shitty scumhunting strategy on you? If I can, you're absolutely scum.

Yeah this is where I am. It seems like he tried to correct this afternoon, but the whole thing feels forced.

Read this like skimming reddit on the bus, and just comment whatever you think once you see something--it doesn't have to be super analytical or really deep, just basic thoughts would help anyways, since then we can follow your thought processes. You can do your normal (longer, more detailed and with longer pondering) reads once you have time.

Basically, you don't have to dedicate extremely large amounts of time to produce something that matches your high standards--it doesn't have to be perfect, it's been established enough that you are capable--you aren't "new" anymore and don't have as much to prove.

but, considering this is coming from me, take it with a grain of salt XD

Doesn't really have too much to do with the content of brain's posts, but it's possible that people's views of him are skewed this game due to his "niche" being shared partially by other players this time---like, what I mean is, people tend to recall him as either spammy, thought-bouncy, with occasional brilliance that leaves people wondering xd, or being otherwise active to promote activity in the thread.
However (correct me if I'm wrong, perception is likely skewed due to me actually playing rather than just stalking the thread) there's more live-time interactions, or just activity in general. Me, Cfox, Quas--we've been sorta overtaking that niche, and decreasing the contrast in feeling.

Jamiet99uk
Day-1 27:58
page 29 / orig All this solving has given me an appetite.

I'm going to have dinner with a beautiful woman.

I'll be back later

Jamie probably town if he paid for dinner

I feel like this sums up the forcedness. A crazy brain iso dump is insane, but it's detailed and it's focused. This is "haha look how random i am xDDDD", and everything around it is single sentences that simultaneously look arbitrary and shallow and have easily followable logic. Neither are things I'd expect. The whole thing is also reactive to people talking about him and Jamie, rather than him getting tweaked by some tiny thing and turning it into something huge. He hinted at a couple of those (the vague Vecna read), but they haven't materialized.

[LordQuas]

either way with him claiming doc I really don't want to lynch him today

Brain's never the only active person.

If you claim every time you come under pressure, it's not a get out of jail free card anymore.

It's more to do with his consistency. Brainbomb as town can't keep a thought straight to save his life. He usually gets his wires crossed, and his theories become increasingly chaotic. This is exceptionally obvious at night, when there's little to no action besides him.

As scum, he attempts to do the same. He usually keeps up his post count and fakeclaiming (the most obvious parts of his meta), but he usually follows a train of through to its conclusion.

I'm not saying it needs to be a permanent get out of jail free card

but if he's hardclaiming and he's fake, the real doc just chills until either they die or we get to a low number of scum then outs

/shrug, I actually think he really is doc but

hey @lordquas, can I use your own shitty scumhunting strategy on you? If I can, you're absolutely scum.

what do you even mean by this

Your reasoning:
"town are way more focused on the state of the game than scum". Scum only make posts to give off the impression they're scumhunting. Therefore, town pays closer attention to the game, and cares less about their image.

Earlier, you made a post where you thought the GM was a player. Clearly what that means is you didn't actually read through their posts and remember who said what. It indicates you've been going through the motions, rather than actually paying careful attention to the game while trying to scumhunt, and the rest of your nonsense has been a show.

Should I apply your own logic here?
