GOAT^2 - Game Thread (5/15) - Day 6 - Mafia wonnered

[May]

I’ll probably be compulsively counting my posts for the rest of the game now that I’ve thought about it, so I may as well add it on to the end so that you can all know what I’m thinking. Call it transparency.

@Marluxion

May also just immediately obvious v from that last post

@YoubutWorse

Also hi I’m in thread now, I like May so far their posts kinda slapped imo

My special ability, the obvtown. After, again, Flicker, I’ve given up on holding back or trying to be suspicious on purpose. Well, not entirely, never say never and all that… also, it’s irresistibly funny to just throw absolute bullshit out there and see who calls you out on it.

@Marluxion

@Zorvo

I wanna say this ain’t W/W.

Don’t like how easily this was given by Seth

Can I ask what the exact difference between Zorvo’s and my behavior is? That is, what makes the reads I’m putting out there clearly town and his strange?

@BradLand

@May

Basically, if Zorvo is wolf, probably a wolf in Brad/Vulgard. If Brad is wolf, probably at maximum one wolf in Zorvo/YBW, but those two easily could be V/V. All very early, subject to change.

Feel like you’re stretching way too hard to try to find preflip connections with this because it’ll cause more mistakes read wise, although it’s probably just a train of thought that you’re continuing which looks fine in a vacuum.

Preflip connections are my lifeblood. I’ll admit that these are quite weak and normally not the thing I’d note aloud this early, but I’m trying to be more transparent with the sources of my reads, and also this game desperately needed some kind of push to make analysis actually possible. Zorvo’s reads were the first thing I thought to push.

[BradLand]

Not with that attitude.

[BradLand]

That’s fine, just had that thought when I read that.

Liked the explanation though and I’ll consider you town for it.

[BradLand]

Town:
May
Marl
Zorvo

A weird list for me…something feels off.

Town:
May
Marl
Zorvo
Eliza

That’s better.

[May]

You know, every time people start marking me town for my usual behavior, I think about how easy it would be to replicate as scum.

Reminder to try to find town and try to work with them. So we can try to intense tactic of boxing:tm: if not, we will lose.

I also saw the Flicker game happen.

Not sure because I’m not sure how you could replicate a train of thought like that as mafia without it being super forced.

[YoubutWorse]

oh hi silviu

@May

I feel the exact same honestly and then I’m scum and I can’t replicate it exactly. It’s kinda interesting to think about ngl

I’ll be going to bed soon but I got a few questions first
How strong do you feel your read list is Brad? What caused you to include each person?

[BradLand]

Order is legit although there might be a gap between May and Marl. Feel decent about them so far.

May I said before going on a tangent going through possible teammate reads when asked about it feels like a continuation of a train of thought that feels natural thus I think is towny.

Marl when he was posting felt pretty decent in terms of trying to gain some reads, looked like he was posting comfortably and not stiff.

Zorvo I explained but felt like his first few posts if he was mafia he’d at least try to shoe horn a scumread and push in there somewhere.

@May

What we’ve got to keep in mind is that posting is a limited natural resource in this kind of game. Non-renewable. There’s only so many posts we get as a collective, and it’s up to all of us to be responsible and not waste the precious gifts given to us from above. How else will we make the thread completely unbearable? If everyone did these sorts of single-character posts, the thread’s read time would be disgustingly low; we’re only at 9 minutes as of now.

KingTroll is throwing those precious posts out the window! He has no concern for conservation… he’s destroying the environment one winky face at a time. I cannot stand for this kind of wastefulness… those who play on my home server, which is nobody here, because I’m one of the only people who plays mafia outside there, know of my true and deep anti-littering beliefs.

idk if this is a copypasta but this is very wolfy
we have 150 posts not 50 lol

welcome to forum mafia! please check out the mafia forums guide to get yourself situates

[Silviu200530]

Man, I wonder how will the postcap change me as I am no longer allowed to hyperpost, I suppose I’ll just follow it up with being productive so this comment doesn’t go to waste.

@Silviu200530

I am not trying to be mean or anything, it’s very great when people improve. But a weakpoint in Seth is that he goes overboard with his reasoning, it becomes incomprehensible, he doesn’t feel like a threat at all (during Flicker, there weren’t any important discussion to eliminate Seth during that game). I believe we need to be encouraging with trying to get a person’s thought process as that’s what it’s vital. Why would reads care if we can’t tell how we didn’t go there? (By the way, Troll, Seth = Zorvo, this guy changes his username too frequently!)

@ElizaThePsycho

jokes on you he’s recieved nearly 8k likes
no way you post 8k times this game

Also Eliza, also to not be mean. But you really have to step up your game. During most game I’ve seen, you’re losing engagement and dissapear, maybe you are busy, but there’s also people who can be busy with their lives and still manage to get townread. The reason why you precisely get scumread (presumably) is because you pop into the thread and the backlog looks intimidating, so you think you will do better if you comment to what pops up on the spot, but well, that doesn’t always work, you can’t make your mind up based on a few selective posts, you need to look at the behavior in general.
For example, w!Windy from what I’ve heard is cowardly. w!Seth from what I’ve seen they’re not popping up in the spotlight as often, T!Neon has frustrations that she gathers from the game and so on. But to prevent myslynching somebody because “this behavior is inherently wolfy” we have to also look for the reason why they’re doing that. It’s all great detective work! But sadly, they kind of never deduced what happened in Flicker!.. I hope this helps.

Also meta-read for Trollo, not sure how effective this is, this is just a blind guess as people can literally be different when they’re playing FM, like me right now. This is the first time in like 5y+ he decided to play again. I would presume Trollo would be hyperactive and I suppose impulsive when an upsetting situation arises, but no worries, I don’t think he will done legit get Happy Tree House levels of upset.

[lol]

why are people pretending to be this affected by the postcap lol 12 hours later u will forget it existed

[Silviu200530]

(I haven’t proofread my post. In the first example mentioning Seth. I mean how much he isn’t a threat to the mafia because of his fully insane plays)

[BradLand]

@lol

Volume cleared.

[Zorvo]

@ElizaThePsycho

if im being honest i have no idea what the correct method to reading him is

As a wolf I’m am awfully careful with how I approach the thread. Probably other stuff too but I know that’s part of my wolf meta.

@O.kazo

Also, I agree with the counter.
This way other people easily can see how much can they converse with you.

3/150

Your Welcome!

@Marluxion

@Zorvo

I wanna say this ain’t W/W.

Don’t like how easily this was given by Seth

Allow me to elaborate.
It’s cause of how it was done. I felt like the CC joke interaction felt genuine or at least had a good vibe towards it. I don’t think two wolves just fool around like that SoD1 just didn’t look like it at all to me and considering there is 3 wolves and not 4 I’m pretty confident in my never w/w read.

Also I actually kinda like May so far with their straight into solving and how they are going about this SoD1.
Although good posting is only NAI I do still like their reads they are making. I also liked their questioning to Marluxion with this post:

@May

Can I ask what the exact difference between Zorvo’s and my behavior is? That is, what makes the reads I’m putting out there clearly town and his strange?

@BradLand

Not with that attitude.

NGL I remember someone saying that on a TV show I think it was and I absolutely loved that response I thought it was very funny.

@lol

we have 150 posts not 50 lol

Where did they mention 50? Also look at May’s futures posts after that I’m sure they are aware of the post cap heck everyone who joined is aware so no reason to say that IMO and they even starting copying my vote count marker thing.
Null Scum on lol for this one sorry.

@lol

why are people pretending to be this affected by the postcap lol 12 hours later u will forget it existed

73/150

There was absolutely no reason to do this post and add the “73/150” I think Lol isn’t aligned with Marluxion only because Marluxion was mentioning previously about putting a random number in the vote count marker but actually having more of a progression why and never actually did it where lol just straight out performs it.

VOTE: lol
