MAFIA XXXVIII: INFINITY WAR

[ghug]

I don't get this Flash thing. Darg is still scum.

What's your case? Your vote for him seemed like a page 3 joke vote.

Nah it was serious. He's being awkward scumdarg.

Why not?

I guess my question to you is - Did you think it was an effective strategy in finding scum? If not, why should I keep following the same strategy? Especially since the noise to signal ratio on D1 is very high.

You didn't answer my question, at least not directly.

Answering yours, I think it was a really effective strategy. You were pretty obvious town at the end and you blocked my attempt to win the game. This game is not only about finding scum, being townread when you're town is also important.

I **thought** I was obviously town (I don't know how I could have been more obvious)...but if I understand correctly even at the very end the other remaining players were still not confident in it. I am not going to play the same way each time to establish "meta".

I am not sure I understand your statement. You don't want to play the same way just to not establish a meta?

Why not?

Because he claimed Gamora and the last thing town wants is to lynch Gamora and give SK a nightkills?

[Foxcastle]

I wasn't sure that he was scum. His slip was a mistake that implied he wasn't a VT, not that implied he was scum, so I knew there was a good chance he was town. And then we never really got to probe the scum angle because he claimed doctor pretty quickly.

You felt there was a good chance he was town, but you went ahead and pressured him into claiming his role?

*slow clapping*

Nah, he came to that decision all by himself. (And I think it was the right one, anyway.)

We are really labouring the point here. I am not wanting to play the same way because I obviously wasn't effective. I am not going to worry how you "meta" read me.

Yavuz seems off. He's usually more willing to engage, usually more willing to read up, and unusually willing to vote without stating much of a reason (his reasons are usually gut reactions, but they are strongly held).

[Jamiet99uk]

@Flash: Why is your vote still on Brainbomb?

Why not?

Because he's claimed a town role and hasn't been counter-claimed. If his claim is true and you get him lynched somehow, the Serial Killer gains huge power.

Are you the Serial Killer?

[damo666]

Flash, why are you voting in BB in light of his claim?

[damo666]

Yeah - Flash is SK. Only possible answer.

I am not seeing the danger. The SK would need to join the wagon to get the stone. If the BB wagon isn't popular (i.e. only two or three on it - the SK uses his power to lynch) there would be very few suspects. And again this is still very early in D1.

Sorry, I'm busy, I said that before game starts.

And I think flash just Sk slipped.

Also we always focus on SK but I think scums can use this to hide themselves. Mafia team is more dangerous before SK gets the stone.

[flash2015]

Yeah - Flash is SK. Only possible answer.

OK, I am getting offended that people think I am a stupid scum or SK...

Welcome to Mafia. The game where you say one thing wrong and you won't ever hear the end of it.

[ghug]

Yeah my impression of flash is that he isn't nearly that dumb.

[Foxcastle]

It is tradition to vote for BB D1! Didn't you read my posts?

This isn't helpful, I guess the question is whether it's malicious...

If Flash were scum and wanting to end on non-competitive wagon to avoid vote analysis later, there are more subtle ways to do that than doubling down on a joke vote.

[damo666]

Agreed Yav, more important (at this stage) to nab scum rather than SK which is why my vote remains on Fox. In fact assuming brain's claim is true then SK is nullified as long as we ensure top wagon is at least 3 ahead of brain. Of course the easiest way to ensure that is simply to avoid voting for brain. So Flash I suggest you move your vote.

[flash2015]

Welcome to Mafia. The game where you say one thing wrong and you won't ever hear the end of it.

If my play was being mis-classified as play from an extraordinarily good scum or SK player I wouldn't mind so much. It is only the stupid part I am really taking offense to...

[Squigs44]

Iso'd DT and he is playing very much out in the open. I like his play so far.
