Mafia 47 - The Sixth Mass Extinction - GAME THREAD [HIDDEN]

@Chimp

If you are not rdr please shoot him for misclaiming.

If you are rdr please shoot Bozo for PR hunting.

It is not PR hunting to comment when others imply their role. For example:

Oh. So there could be one Mason talking to themselves.

Obviously I'm not a Mason.

Itshosuke already claimed there are two Masons, so either really there are two town Masons or we have two scum faking it.

And as you are around, give me a reason to not shoot you.

Because I am a town role that will be valuable later in the game.

You should use your shot today because you are bound to be NK'd tonight.

I hardclaim mammal.

If you are town, you are the one revealing information to the mafia about your role.

Reading on... vapour has some horrid posts and I hate the way he’s playing. However, I’ve been scum with him and if he’s scum here that would mean a drastic meta chance from M42, which is unlikely.

Difficult to see worcej as scum the way he’s playing. Would be ballsy af. For now, townread.

Also, the EMC situation is annoying because I don’t like how many people are voting to policy lynch him, yet EMC’s stance really isn’t helping things. @emc you do know you can (and are even encouraged) to change your vote? You seem to hold the attitude that voting is some big deal that you really need to think through. It’s not. Slap a vote somewhere you have a hunch, then change it as you go.

On that note, ##unvote.

I don't know exactly why, but I liked this answer. Not shooting you. Still waiting for Dargo to answer.

I am adding Bozo and Vapor to the target list.

So @Bozo - give me a reason to not shoot you.

@Vapor - give me a reason to not shoot you.

@emc - give me a reason to not shoot you.

I will wait for answers until 3 hours before EOD.

You should not shoot me because I am not scum.

That's a reasonable reason, but a bit obvious.
Let's try another thing, tell me who I should shoot (MF is not an option)?

I would shoot Vecna, because I find him suspect and he will be hard to lynch if he is scum. worcej, Chaqa, bo_sox, and Jamie are also good options.

[brainbomb]

Vecna has worcej as hard town. probably not w/w

[bozotheclown]

Anyhow, a policy lynch in a game with this many PRs doesn’t strike me as a great option, but somehow that’s the two wagons we have. ##vote EMC

emc did not post between your voting for him and unvoting him.

I decided to iso worcej to figure out why I was feeling weird about his/her play. worcej has been very active but I don't think they've said much. They've mostly discussed mechanics and voting strategy and they've hammed it up a bunch. The thing that bothers me most in the iso is that worcej takes every opportunity to provide description/commentary or to lead people out with questioning, but never really provides their own analysis. It looks insightful at first glance but provides nothing new to the other players.

This is the closest thing to analysis worcej has posted, but it obviously says nothing and appears to just be an in-joke:

24 hours in. My Impressions:
-Fox was early.
-Vapor is all over.
-bo is old.
-Vecna is behaving as ‘normal’
-brain is doing his analysis mode and bouncing
-bozo is all in on a dumb strategy at the cost of all the town’s protection
-new guys have not inspired any real reaction from me
-emc is behaving based on the early pressure
-Percy is easily confused

I think this is scum!worcej trying to go buddy-buddy with the whole squad... and/or roleplay brainbomb to prevent being read.

##VOTE worcej

I find myself in general agreement with MF. That’s not great in itself.

However, this is the shittiest “analysis” I have ever seen, and it happens in the same post where you are voting for someone over their lack of analysis. You really think worcej is openly buddying 8+ individuals? Lmao

##VOTE foodcoats

[rdrivera2005]

You should not shoot me because I am not scum.

I agree about Vecna being hard to lynch, but I don't get scummy vibes from him (don't get as many town vibes as in other games, but still in town spectre).
I forget totally about Chaqa, will ISO him.

@Chaqa - Could you give me a reason to not shoot you.

[bozotheclown]

Vecna has worcej as hard town. probably not w/w

It could be some kind of reverse bus. Vecna's confidence about worcej is concerning.

[bo_sox48]

Through 15 pages, the worst post is easily foodcoats’ post about EMC:

Why are you such a glass half empty person? I am just saying making a push on emc to policy lynch on D1 because of his EOD behaviors in previous games is a little too soon.

I don't have any meta on emc, but irrespective of their previous games, their post is bizarre:

##vote e.m.c

now y'all can't yell at me ;p

This is absolutely useless. emc was on point to be the first poster in the game but neither plain shitposted nor voted randomly. Voting for yourself generates no information for the other players, but if people aren't looking carefully it could appear to exonerate you from the responsibility not to lurk. At a glance it makes you look active in the peterbot even though it is effectively not a real vote.

I think this is the scummiest play so far.

##VOTE e.m.c^42

It was literally a shitpost, the exact thing you claim it wasn’t. Then there’s a bunch of wordy analysis that makes no sense if you actually read it. How in the world does self-voting free you from the responsibility not to lurk? And suggesting that the post was an attempt to appear active on the bot is a huuuge stretch.

From here I ISO’d foodcoats and it’s more scumshit. There’s a post where he writes a paragraph to tell brain to post less. He mentions he’s played mafia on another site, yet also claims he doesn’t know enough about the “structural ramifications” of mafia to give an opinion on mass claiming. In his last post, he asks brain what made him suspicious of worcej, right after listing why he thinks worcej is suspicious. What’s the point?

In general, his posts seem to point more towards creating conversation than solving the game. He also hasn’t updated his EMC vote which is based off of the first post of the game, a shitpost.

For reference, this is what I agree with.

Revealing/claiming ain't hunting.

[rdrivera2005]

@Foodcoat - Could you also give me a reason to not shoot you?

[Percy Williams]

Did you miss my response where I listed the implied claims?

No, I caught it. Unless I'm misremembering, your four were brainbomb, Vecna, Itshosuke, and Rdrivera. I personally only consider the last two valid.

It was emc, not Vecna. I believe emc implied he was the tree stump.

EMC just said it was fun roleplaying his character, which could mean any number of characters, someone else asked if he was tree stump, and EMC never commented on it.

[brainbomb]

is rivera just pointing a fake gun at folks to get claims

[brainbomb]

town rivera wouldbe shot emc at the midpoint of the phase to undo thread being stagnate

[brainbomb]

xorxes I am not the vote stealer. I was just bored. so you definetely need to vote

[rdrivera2005]

town rivera wouldbe shot emc at the midpoint of the phase to undo thread being stagnate

The problem with hipfiring is that you can shoot a PR, but on other side pointing a gun to them could force a PR to claim. All in all, I am trying to get reactions that give me a better chance to hit scum.

yea thats not how you usually play.

[damo666]

If he is he gets lynched tomorrow.

If they know Chimp isn't in play it could be worth a goon sacrifice to get info I suppose, however I believe rdr.

[brainbomb]

pretty sure power thief steals free gun if rivera doesnt shoot. this was poorly thought out imo

[damo666]

How so? He is clearly bound to shoot.

Perhaps he should shoot you.
