MAFIA LVIII (58) - WITCHFINDER GENERAL - GAME THREAD

[dargorygel]

GM NOTE
Weird... the bot is calling bob votes invalid. You COULD try Bob. Or forget the bot in this way for now... the GM's are aware and are counting votes as they are placed for the slot. (I don't have time to mess with it right now.)

[Hamilton Brian]

Brian, give us the pitch.

Why do you get to live, and which 3 people are worthy replacement-sacrefises?

I'd be more interested in why you aren't leading right now. Based on my play over the 3 or 4 games I've played, my reads are typically garbage, and I do a lot of misreading and not digging below the surface. Cases include where Durga and goldfinger both pocketed me to degrees and I was surprised as shit when they flipped scum.

So with me townreading both you and Seth, maybe I need to flip that around and start building the case on you...with what little time I have left.

So there's no pitch. People that have played with me probably mutter as they read my posts, "Jesus, he's badtown."

##vote worcej

The fire was stoked and then smothered.

[Durga]

I really don't think we should stone BobmcBob when he subbed in a couple of hours ago and can't be around for Eod. Yoyo's day 1 doesn't warrant that.

Why doesn't it? You think Yoyo's day 1 was townie? Did you follow the mini game last time?

[TrPrado]

I am not changing my vote, I'm confident flash is scum, but I'm not opposed to HB today and flash later on.

What kind of garbage cover-your-ass hedging is this, ScumBo?

"I think both top wagons are scum" is hedging?

[Vecna]

That was right after this. Is this a townread?

Lets call it an annoyed "coming to terms"

I don't get what that means, but I'm gonna chalk it up as a townread.

You never have that feeling that youre scumreading, but in interacting with them you get that overwhelming sense of someone that feels theyre being done a huge injustice?

Then, if they communicate that sense of being wronged in a way of throwing insults and childish shit at your face, it generally takes you a bit to come to terms with maybe having been wrong?

Its not like im completely sold, but the HB wagon seemed quite enticing.

[bo_sox48]

Ok? But how is it scummy unless flash and Vecna are scum together?

That's exactly what's going through my mind lol

Vecna would be very angry at flash if this was a scum vs scum no?

I'm not sure what you mean by scum vs scum, but the lightbulb in my head is saying Vecna and flash are teammates. Vecna bussed him, and then Vecna saw an opportunity to save flash by jumping on HB at an opportune time that made HB a runaway.

All theory until we flip flash, which I frankly think we should do anyway.

Uhhhmmmm, solid no on this theory from me

He got whacked day 1 with a decent looking (15 sec) iso read.

I've had that feeling, and I've done what you did, but it's so damn convenient dude. If you saw someone jump off the wagon that had the momentum that they helped start for the one that got the momentum without explanation, constituting a 2 vote difference, and then leave a few hours prior to EOD you'd be saying "hmmmm" too.

I have 10 minutes before a meeting that I actually have to care about so give me your tl;dr version of why please

[Hamilton Brian]

Anyway, we have company coming over in 10 minutes. I will try to check in but my wife will get pissed at my rudeness being on the phone.

I get the desire to give Bob time to get into the game, but there's still something in Yoyo's interactions AND Bob's moving onto the Flash wagon that sits ill with me. I'm leaving it there.

If I do get the blood let out of me, good luck the rest of the way. And dig into Vecna.

Why would scum!vecna bus so hardcore when there are plenty of other lurkers he could go for for the same reasons, surely not all are scum

I don't think I buy this.. I don't see vecna bussing flash so hard with that much time left in the day.

Oh boy

[Chaqa]

I actually thought EMC's post calling you out was pretty pretty good

Right, but EMC has *VOTED* so early.

He wouldn't do this unless he was extremely motivated to stay alive, so he's scummy.

??? How does this mean emc is "extremely" motivated to stay alive?

The dude has never voted before just at EoD and has been modkilled several times for not voting. Trust me, this is out of character for him

Didn't think it would really move? Didn't expect me to sheep him right away? Expected flash to not overreact and navigate his way out of it, or just continue lurking and wait for the pressure to die off? Idk, there's a host of possibilities. Like I said, it's a theory.

[Durga]

I change my mind about killing HB. We should not do that

[bo_sox48]

But I see enough people not buying it that I know it won't happen in the next 5 minutes lol
