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

[EspressoPatronum]

Oof, I'm already 6 pages behind. Will do an on-the-go catchup.

[foodcoats]

Right, so worcej wants to help emc hide from the prying eyes of town.

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

[brainbomb]

there isnt actually much to catch up on.

[EspressoPatronum]

Lets do things different this game and everyone prepare a mission statement for what kind of town we think this town should be. what values shall we hold dear?

A town free of the corrupting influence of humans and predators!! ... but not eagles, chimps, and the other "good guy" predators?

##vote e.m.c

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

Sigh. This makes me think you're doing it to protect your scum meta.

Emc has to start creating a vote record that can be analyzed. In previous games, he's landed a single vote at the very end of the phase. He's claimed that this is because he can't make up his mind, but it worked pretty well as a scum strategy in M1007. Either he's doing it to protect his scum meta, or he's being too cautious and making it hard for the rest of town to read him.

Either way, it's not helpful to town, so I say we policy lynch emc until he starts plonking votes down at a more reasonable rate.

Vote early. Vote often. ##VOTE EMC

Not a bad idea. Maybe it'll get him to put a vote on someone else.

Just from the votecount, ##VOTE emc for voting for himself. I also don't like that brainbomb is unvoted.

Now I will start reading.

[EspressoPatronum]

I dont hate the emc push. aesthetically its one of those kinda meh, too easy things. but at the same time its possible enough to bear fruit.

The "too easy" argument is a common counter to the lurker lynch strategy, yet we never actually lynch the lurkers.

It's one of those easier said than done sort of things.

[Vaporwave]

kudos to foodcoats for that kosher advice #35
pulling a wedgie on Foxy for trying to policy-lynch e.m.c and for giving nefarious reasons to worcej's plausible excuse for defending e.m.c

Foxy clinged to past game wins and it bothers me

however, If Foxy is a scum, I can see him buss e.m.c right off the bat (this is a thought for later)

##UNVOTE bozo
his massclaim desire reeks of townie thirst

I agree. I am giving one townie point to Fox for trhis.

[EspressoPatronum]

I really don't like whatever Worcej is playing at. Starting the game with two "Townslips" so bad, he would never do them as scum... or would he? I really hate this qigong play right out of the gate, and then acting as though he is Town leader after. I'm not saying he's for sure scum by any means, but I really don't like it either.

hedging?

Yes.
He could be scum lampshading and convincing us he is really a Town, OR
He could be Town joking/ using an odd ball strategy to show he's Town, and help us look in the right direction.

I'm just too [pick one] Dumb/Inexperienced /Australian To know which one it is. I can recognize mind games though and wanted to call it out, and offer it up as an offering to more skilled players.

@dargorygel The first few hours is a little too early to call out hedging imo. I'd be more worried if Percy were confident of anything at this point.

I started to want to have the noble goal of out posting you on D1, but realized that it would be a complete failure to try to pull that one off.

I think this game we a need a town that actually thinks critically - many games lately have comprised of town players lurking and not listening intently on what people are saying, usually just voting for others without actually having a strong opinion. Mafia won M46 because of a self-destructive town. Let's not do that this time.

Mafia won M46 because they were an outstanding team. Question mark on worcej for trying to rewrite history.

[xorxes]

... drelk...

Probably town.

[EspressoPatronum]

Also doesnt that give scum exactly the roles they know they gotta kill?

What roles do they have to kill? No town roles are so powerful that it is obvious.

Massclaim defeats the strength of the commuter, bulletproof, doctor, and pretty much instakills our jailer. Not a good idea imo.

Count me against the mass claim.

Bleh. Let's try that again without the quote muck up.

It's a well-established threat that I'm making good on. Probably in the M1007 thread after end of game, if you want to go find it.

Slightly defensive. I'll have to take half the townie point back.

[brainbomb]

yay red flags. I assume red stands for the swiss, a peaceful indistrious nation of skiiers and well wishers

Okay, noted, but I don't think an EMC policy lynch push now makes sense being that the game is 20 minutes old.

An interesting first post Fox, needless to say I hope your game is as elevated now as it was at the end of last game. Now it won't be too little, too late.

How long does one have to wait to start a policy lynch push, in your opinion?

Why are you writing like an ant? More scum points for brainbomb.
