MAFIA 77: RETURN TO THE WEST [GAME THREAD] - [HIDDEN]

Switching back to ##vote rdr

[Hamilton Brian]

Worcej is usually much quicker to vote, and first voting later in the day is scum-indicative.

Is this anything born out by any set of facts? It's an interesting theory. I'll go back and look at some games to get a sample.

I'll be gone from 1 hour hence for rest of day though I may sneak a mobile peek on break.

So if anyone has anything important to say (Chaqa?) please speak up soon.

I want to go back to your vote on Chaqa. I feel like you're putting a lot of weight on the END vote. I took that as just joking. Are you saying you don't see it that way?

And I'm looking now to see if Chaqa addressed it with you.

Well he's switched to worcej now so it makes no difference I guess. Do you (or anyone else) get what Chaqa is referring to in ghug's "Player A" post?

Not in the slightest. It was a bit "wall of text"-ish so I glossed over it. I'll look back at it but is it containing something key?

[Hamilton Brian]

And apropos of nothing, I tend to agree with bo's looking to get quieter folks speaking up.

Chaqa seems to suggest there is.

Well upon the quick look, Balki asked for a fake reads list.

20 minutes later ghug drops 13 possible reads. Did ghug write those on their own? Were they copied from somewhere, and if so, where from?

Then a very brief exchange about how some good interchange to look towny or scummy.

I don't know if that post really has a lot of relevance.

[Chaqa]

Ah, Chaqa did respond with that Damo was being disingenuous.

Didn't address the END vote that Damo seemed focused on.

It didn't seem necessary to clarify I was voting ghug as a joke.

Most of my posts today have been copied from ghug's list.

Only Bozo seemed to really notice.

Touche.

I'm very curious to know why.

I'm very curious to know why.

Because he's seems like he's hunting for anything fishy. ScumBrian is different.

[Balki Bartokomous]

I think fake claiming CWW as mafia would be too risky so until any evidence to the contrary I assume Balki is town.

This wording feels a little too trusting to me and not suspicious enough. It might be a sign that Damo knows my alignment.

[ghug]

Is it just me or is the most common thing in mafia on this site for someone to say “I think X is Y because of how they responded to me/voted for me/read me” - it makes it so easy to be pocketed.

I think bo makes a very brave and valid point here.

I think ghug is town because of how they validated bo_sox's post.

I forget, is bozo scum when he jokes more?

[ghug]

Ah fuck, I can't believe you've done this.

I do not understand the meaning of this post, unless you are taking about being tricked into replying with improper formatting.

That was indeed the meaning.

[Balki Bartokomous]

Changed my mind.

##vote Chaqa

The end vote is curious.

Chaqa is very dangerous as scum and nowhere near as good as town.

Why is the end vote curious? Curious in an alignment indicative kind of way? How so?

How does your profile of Town!Chaqa vs. Scum!Chaq relate to their play in this game? Are you saying that Chaqa is playing like dangerous scum? Or are you saying that Town!Chaqa is not particularly valuable and Scum!Chaqa is a deep threat, so it is a good decision to kill Chaqa early either way?

Still catching up. Can you elaborate? I was getting scummy vibes from him.

[ghug]

Greetings fellow townies and some evil outlaws. Just forgot this game was starting on Sunday. At least there are only 4 pages to read.

And I will claim 100% confirmed vanilla town at first post just to avoid any shenanigans over this.

I smell a bluff here. Why use the unnecessary 'will'? Anybody else get that vibe?

I think it's just an ESL thing.

Which part "feels" too trusting?

I read it as a speculative "gutsy crazy play by mafia to claim since it could be counterclaimed; probably a town statement." I know it's a bad paraphrase but I think that's the gist of what Damo is saying and I don't think it's necessarily a sign that Damo knows your alignment.

How is ScumBrian different?

Have you caught Scum!Brian based on this distinction in a prior game? Seems way too easy to me, but I am unfamiliar with the meta dynamics between you two. Make me familiar with them!
