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

[worcej]

You really think that I am the type of player who will just take your word for it worcej? cmon man, when have I ever done that when I think someone is scum?

Numerous times when said scum convinces you otherwise and you move on to a town player.

I'll be back tomorrow with time...
First, I was trying to be funny, and no one noticed. I was posting with one word. I suppose it says something about what folk expect from me.
It was kind of fun. Mostly it was just reactive posts. I DID have a couple of conversations (accusing Percy Williams of hedging, for instance) that were fun with single words. It actually made me think more about articulation than I am used to...

Did I miss the part where anyone asked?

A couple of obvious things to comment on:
Mass claim... while I do think that such a claim MIGHT POSSIBLY help us... mostly the concept has too many faulty underlying beliefs. It assumes a randomness of role that I don't think the GM's would do. It assumes that we will have LOTS of scum making false claims, when there is no reason for them to do so. I think bozo also is assuming (he lists this as a 'pro') that multiple fakeclaiming by lynchable scum is common. I think it happens maybe once or twice per game. So we MIGHT draw out a couple of scum... but mostly, we just give scum a map.

But I am not happy with how hard bozo is pushing for this. He seems to have some hope that he has a chance to succeed. I think bozo is smarter than that. So why does he not back off? Or did I miss a retraction?

Would a retraction make a difference to you? Would him backing off making a difference to you? It seems like you're ready to erase all of his sins the moment he says the magic word.

That post is weird.

were you trying a similar tactic to the ones scum use on me?

[brainbomb]

I am stunned to see that darg has no opinion change on percy, but rather a litany of backtracking on a gimmick he was using.

I have no reason to engage in a tactic. Your vote will move on its own eventually.

24 hours in. My Impressions:
-Fox was early.
-Vapor is all over.
-bo is old.
-Vecna is behaving as ‘normal’
-brain is doing his analysis mode and bouncing
-bozo is all in on a dumb strategy at the cost of all the town’s protection
-new guys have not inspired any real reaction from me
-emc is behaving based on the early pressure
-Percy is easily confused

[Percy Williams]

But who though? Nothing's been extremely ping-worthy asides from Percy making more grammar mistakes (i.e. random capitalizations) than usual, and bozo's tone, but it's not worth voting for.

I recently heard something from Tom Scott about using capitalization to convey tone in text, so it's partially that and partially editing down capitals to avoid looking like I'm yelling which leaves the first one capital. I'm trying to figure out how best to add emphasis on certain words, and clearly it's not working.

Embolden underline italicise colour ?

I always get way thrown off when there's colour, and there are a lot of subliminal messages colour send, so that ones out. Italics can go unnoticed in bad quality, or when Zooming down the road in a camero, but I could use the other two.

But in the end it is too hard and not really helpful.

Also, regarding D1 voting. I always raise an eyebrow at STRONG statements on D1. People who pretend to KNOW an alignment. Obv, only scum knows alignment.

Lynching lurkers? D1 is almost random voting, or at most, mostly gut feelings. Lurkers are no more or less likely to be scum. Lately, it seems, though that at least one or two scummies hide early in the game. So maybe lynching lurkers increases our odds.

I'll probably be able to read off and on... but won't have time to post much till tomorrow morning.

Ah, I was wondering about that. What did you mean when you replied "you?" To me a while back?

[Foxcastle]

Fine

You think my accusation is "fine"? Fine as in "well-reasoned" or of otherwise acceptable quality? Or fine as in you grudgingly admit my accusation is correct?

Fine as in 'yes, fine, happy to discuss'.

Way to step up with content...

Anyway, you admit that you were stirring up noise in the thread. And you preemptively apologized for it, like you knew I would accuse you of doing it deliberately. And you've contributed basically nothing else to the thread.

Before I dive into this post, thanks bo for articulating what I’ve been feeling in a way more clear and concise way than I ever could. Appreciate that. I have a lot of trouble following all these back and forth quoted conversations. I miss the old big monolithic “case” posts people used to make.

But on this post - dargo isn’t someone I’ve played with too much (or have forgotten if I gave), but this entire post seems hedgey and anchoring. “Sorry I was posting so poorly, but weren’t my one-word answers so articulate! I’ll be back and better later, I promise!”

Blegh. ##Vote dargo

page 14 / orig Missed game start, sorry, newbie mistake. Anyone want to make a TL;DR?

Yea, your alleged mason buddy probably ought to do that for ya

[brainbomb]

Im wondering if mafia was given masons as 2 of their fake claims and this guy didnt know what masons were so he just claimed it as he saw it on the scums list of fake options.

Vecna does a post dump after Hotsuke claims mason.
http://mafia.peterlund.se/e/web/msgs?g= ... id=w:90047


This could be vecna trying to bury scums chernobyl moment of this game. newb scum accidentally claiming a last resort fake claim option.

[Vecna]

vecna has unpopular opinions. and hes not role played or pretended to be julius ceasar. this means vecna is town

boring and too simplistic
