MAFIA 75: TROUBLE AT THE PRECINCT [HIDDEN]

[ghug]

I'm just here for bo's increasingly elaborate death scenarios

ghug must be so happy

If he's not suffering for at least a year and driving everyone close to him away with his pain-induced moods, it's not gonna do much for me.

[Jamiet99uk]

I'd like Rdrivera to give a better response than "I was driving", because he did actually post while he was apparently driving - so he could have voted, but did not.

ACtually kind of a valid point, but voting assumes he's looking at the current scoreboard, doesn't it?

Being present and doing nothing is 4.7% worse than just being absent.

[pyxxy]

And if I just want to avoid being involved I could have just disappeared, I was really trying to avoid a close EOD to avoid a tie, but the votes started to swap around and I just can't see who was in the lead.

About driving I was hoping to get home before EOD but it took a bit longer, I just say that I was driving because Vecna said I wasn't defending Damo.

This is all reasonable but how long after EOD did you get home? Why not post when you got home explaining why you didn't vote?

Because I had better things to do like staying with my family?

I mean yeah that's what you said last game sorry I'm not trying to critique you for having a family.

I should have said it more generally. In prior games you were happy to volunteer your thoughts on the thread by N1-07:00 or so.
viewtopic.php?p=298126#p298126

Including another time when in addition to adding your perspective to the thread, you also apologized for missing EOD.
viewtopic.php?p=291255#p291255

You didn't show up in this thread, tonight, until bo slandered you.

You've been on the back foot so I don't hold it against you that you haven't posted any opinions yet. Despite you saying that you have a lot of town reads...

I really don't get where I said anyone sucks in this game. In fact I have a lot of town reads and don't have any strong scum read so either you are confusing me with other player or just plain inventing things which is weird.

Idk, sorry rdr, you just seem off in this game :/

[Chaqa]

This game is going to send me to therapy

I'm shocked you aren't already in it.

- note: I was halfway through typing this before I realized I was not, in fact, replying to President Eden. I found this funny, so I figured I'd add commentary and post it.

Yeah, but. Being present and doing nothing is kind of my thing. I sit here in the thread at all times and you can't tell if I'm asleep, doing something on my other monitor, or just quietly observing the proceedings.

I don’t need therapy, it’s everyone else whose firmware needs updating.

I'm just here for bo's increasingly elaborate death scenarios

ghug must be so happy

People I knew died in a violent tornado in 2013 making a mistake that lots of storm chasers continue to make despite it so the risk is not exactly hypothetical to me. But the more likely dying while storm chasing scenario is that I die in a car crash given I cover 40,000 miles a year. I would die instantly, to ghug’s dismay.

[Jamiet99uk]

I should note that rdr being scum really only makes sense if snowy/byz is town, which was my original premise that led me down this road. But if that’s wrong then rdr is probably town - or really stupid scum, so stupid that he looks good for it

Actually on this note, Jamie you jumped all over rdrivera the moment I exposed an opportunity, but you were also a leader on Byz all of day 1. Has your read on byz/snowy changed so much that you feel rdr is “down to rights” as I believe you said?

No I still think Byz/Snow is likely scum tbh.

[BesharamSabi]

Anyway I really do hate that we chat during the night. I used to like it before I tried out other sites. I dunno I have been converted. Night time should be used to have breaking from the game and to reflect on it.

I think this is why we have the whole midgame apathy issue because no one takes a mental break from the game.

Just my two cents.

Uncorrect.

You seem generally quite active. Even if you do spend far too much time apologising. Which you should stop.

Assuming Byz/snowy is scum, why would scum rdrivera not participate in EOD with the chance to look good?

"I'm sorry for apologizing too much"

[Princess Neon]

A personal e xample I experienced is a P2W player who attempted to do so with me in Conflict of Nations: WWIII, then sexually harassed me out of ever playing the game again. Its not a good example, but there doesn't even ened to be a relationship to white knight someone.

I don't see the connection here

The connection is that Sabi has previously called me out for saying that its not white knighting because you two are just friends, and I am saying that white knighting in a just friends context is completely possible.

All Sabi has done is defend you. The whole game. Neon is town. Don't bully Neon out of the game. I know Neon, she's town. You people better not make Neon quit.

Ad nauseum. He just will not quit making it clear that we have to treat you well and that you're innocent.

You're friends outside the game. We know you're friends outside the game. But that's not a valid reason to defend her so excessively. This is mafia. Anyone could be scum. Sabi could be scum. You could be scum. I could be scum. So his constant defense of you has no basis in logic here.

They...

They are the only person who has a meta read. So again that are the closest person to actually knowing my play style.

I can tell you my play style. I can tell you I'm still within my scum range and within my town range. I can tell you that generally I'm much much more quiet as scum and let my team push because I fucking despise the role. I can tell you I've been changing that gradually to try to mirror my town meta and I'm getting decent at it.

I can tell you that I can't answer for Sabi but I think you're just wrong.

Like all I want to do right now is reread eod and self reflect but have to be present in ngih chat otherwise it's sus.

Anyway this is me being tired and having to take care of two sick parents with covid and myself testing positive for covid for the third time since may.

Sorry for the rant

[Princess Neon]

Jamie and Chaqa need to get a room. Pyxxy and Besharam are both awful and Besharam is my top scumread right now. Vecna is really good at saying things that make sense and doing absolutely nothing with those things and it drives me insane. PE and Rumi have spent so much time obvtowning that I don’t think I need to read their posts as anything but well intentioned anymore. That EOD sucked which probably means that much of the mafia team sat out. To me that points toward it being town v town.

This has been a breaking news update from me, your host, bo_sox48.

This take is bad and you should feel bad

Check mate damn you got me

My specialty is catching scum

GG

~~none of this statement is true~~

[ghug]

Guys, night chat is for shitposting and repairing relationships.

I hear that alot outside the game. self-blame and apologies are a natural reaction in most situations for me. But I was more relating to the fact that my sleep schedule is so erratic and my posting schedule is so scattered across all hours of the day that its really hard for anyone to be sure if I'm actually paying attention or not.

[Princess Neon]

Admittedly yes I changed my mind after meme phase.

Celaph is probably just town but I’m confused by their absolute unwavering support of Byz early when I don’t think he’d done anything worth that kind of commitment

Can you point to some examples of what you mean? Because I only see a pretty normal statement of an early townread from celaph RE: Byz. Your framing strikes me as overstated.

I quoted 3 of the first 10 posts that were very defensive of Byz early that wasn't all of them.

I thought when I asked if we had to be present, it was stated that we don't. I"d be more worried abotu vast pages of text I'd ahve to catch up on than looking sus.

Right, I saw those, I just don’t agree at all lol. They were mild statements of a townread with some justification behind them. I feel like you’re overselling them quite a bit here, but I don’t feel you’re being insincere, so I don’t know if it means anything.
