M1020 — Speed Run Mafia GAME THREAD [HIDDEN]

[damo666]

Sabi is this the first time you have been scum?

Bozo why so inactive?

I am being efficient.

Nice

Bozo why so inactive?

Nah just tired of snowy yelling at me my first two games. I just want one game no one yells at how I'm playing.

[damo666]

All gone boringly quiet.

snowy will yell at you no matter what. Take it as a sign of his concern and affection.

[damo666]

I'm back home now. The pub was quiet but ok. Are we starting this game or not??

This is the game thread and you’re posting.

SUS.

He is just back from the pub.

This was my 10,000th post and I missed it.

[foodcoats]

i just realized when sabi called bona reactionary they meant in a mafia sense not that bona's an eighteenth century french conservative

Bona is also an 18th century French conservative.

[foodcoats]

how do we think the 3 scum/4 scum thing is going to affect us?

Isn't 9 vs. 4 the standard mountainous setup? I thought Eden was just trolling. I assume there is 4.

[foodcoats]

how do we think the 3 scum/4 scum thing is going to affect us?

If I had my way not at all, though I know some people prefer the "play not to lose" strategy

can you elaborate on how that strategy might lead to different dk choices?

also 4 scum/9 town only gives us 2 mks so it's probably just 3/10

That's an interesting point. I believe I played a 9 vs. 3 on Mafia Universe recently and it was considered "unfair" to scum, but there were PRs, so that obviously changed the balance of power.

Anyway, kind of irrelevant. Just vote for scum.

[foodcoats]

Oh, and I guess this would be 10 vs. 3.

Anyway.

Who decided to start today without telling me? Yall are lucky I happened to check in today, I might not have shown up till Thursday.

I was gonna vote food cause he seems to be asking a lot of questions and saying a lot without actually accomplishing anything, but then he put a naked vote on me before I showed up so I gotta respect the play there.

I was gonna vote Bo cause he is purposefully being useless, but then I remembered he's useless even when he tries so there's no point trying to correct that behavior.

Even if I had a 95% scum read on ghug day 1 I wouldn't vote him out because he's the only person playing that I know can actually find scum if he is town.

Bozo usually throws out a stupid idea by now, has he changed since I've been gone?

##vote Bona

Any reason you voted Bona?

I'm seeing Squigg's post secondhand via celaph's quote here, but, uh, Squiggs, do you seriously claim at this point that asking questions without accomplishing much or being useless is alignment indicative? Not even 24 hours in? What kind of play should bo and I be aiming at that achieves great and glorious things?

[Squigs44]

bro you're calling me scummy what the hell do you think i'm going to do

Ask me why I think you are scum and try to convince me that that reasoning is wrong.

Instead you tried convincing the other 11 or however many people in the game that I'm full of crap and my opinions can't be trusted. Town try to work together and correct incorrect lines of reasoning. Or at least they should.

I think my initial goal of voting you for pressure has accomplished its goal in getting conversations going and jumpstarting us out of the day 1 random question phase so I'll stand by that vote.

As for my thoughts on Bona now, I certainly haven't seen anything that convinces me Bona is town, but with input from Ghug and Sabi I might have to accept that my feelings towards Bona are mostly NAI and I'm gonna have to start looking at other players as well to get a better picture

You've stated why you think I'm scum. I don't need to ask.

This is not factual. I wanted to call out that, from my perspective, you made a flagrantly scummy move. You haven't responded to this and instead have only wallposted about...something.

What's so special about your vote that it's the one I 'freak out' over and not the other like, 5 votes on me?

I voted you on page 14. I didn't post reasoning for the vote until page 21. In between those 7 pages you made about 10 posts directed at me or about me without asking for my reasoning. At this point we're past it and I'd like to move on from it.

What exactly did you want me to address? What did I do that was flagrantly scummy? I think the only time you've explicitly tried to convince people I was scum was over the whole crosspost thing, which is so baseless I didn't think it needed addressing

If you read my response to DL on page 23, you'll see that I took issue with your response to both Bo and Bozos votes on you. Obviously you've done/said more in opposition to me than any of the others, so thats why it has received more attention

Voting for someone and thinking they are scum are not the same thing. I often use a vote in the first half of day 1 to pressure people into being more forthcoming with their reads/ideas. That strategy definitely doesn't work on Bo though, hes just anti-town for most of day 1 and you deal with it

[Squigs44]

@Jamie, I've got a Fender Jazz Bass and a shitty old Epiphone McCartney-style viola thing. We play more straightforward rock or "alternative" type stuff.

#shitpost

Coolio.

I have two Fender Precision basses, one of which has some really meaty Seymour Duncan Bass Lines pickups from the 1990s, it has such a nice tone. Got a couple of short scale basses too.

I'll start playing this game now I promise. Just waking up.

Jamie promised to play but isn't here. Doesn't he have a policy to vote for liars?

Hi

ghug what was your smart quote on me

From M69:

Town bona gets miskilled for having our there ideas and expressing them in a way that annoys people. Scum bona tries to mimic this by being loud and annoying because he knows people like me will defend him for it.

Ghug saying scum Bona knows people like him [ghug] will defend him [bona].
Bona using a quote from ghug to try to defend himself this game.

[foodcoats]

My early prediction of the scum team is celaph/damo/Squigs (and ghug if there are 4 scum).

bozo my main man

snowy, don't you normally dislike when people settle on to some idea like this early on in this way?

bozo, what is the basis of this team?

[foodcoats]

Isn't this actually celaph using a ghug quote to illuminate Bona's question?

[damo666]

The following are not worth voting day 1 because if they are scum they will give it away soon enough:

Bozo
ghug
Jamie
Squiggs

I have given Bona townpoints so he is off the list.

I don't think Llama asks the gm for a mafcount if he were maf so I'll give him a pass for now.

This leaves:

Sabi
Bo
Celaph
Food
Snowy
Worcej

Of these I am currently voting Sabi because I'm not convinced the activity is genuine but I guess not enough people will agree with that to make a viable wagon so ##unvote.

I am reluctant to vote snowy as too valuable if town. So, I am left with

Bo
Celaph
Food
Worcej

##vote Bo [alphabetically]

Celaph actually found the quote, but Bona was the one who originally brought it up in response to a post I made about him
