Popcorny Mafia 🍿 (GAME OVER, MAFIA VICTORY)

[Madeline]

Great, hmu with your top 4 scum reads

[Magnus]

Tough question. I can’t actively scumread CD when they simply haven’t been here, so I’ll say Kiiruma or Achro (not partnered), YBW (despite seeming pure; if good, it could possibly incriminate someone like Catbae, I guess), maybe Nuto depending on a few other factors that pop up, and then Corrupt.

[Magnus]

I don’t see a reason why a named proactive player like CD wouldn’t have posted yet as town, to be fair.
Nuto’s rung one alarm bell, and it isn’t necessarily AI, but I don’t know their towntells.

[Madeline]

Could you go into your reasoning for these scum reads?

I do kind of vibe with most of these tbh

[Madeline]

What’s the alarm bell you think Nuto has rung?

[Magnus]

I’ll comment on the so-called red flag first because it should be a shorter response.

The first part is this:

@crazynuto

So like, being shot is fine if you’re town right? I’m not really sure I understand how this works lol. Obviously not all innocents need to be shot, but I wouldn’t mind being the first just to get the ball rolling lol

@crazynuto

I mean no cuz if we’re both right then we’d both die lol.

I don’t mind being shot but I think I’d crack under the pressure.

@crazynuto

To rephrase, Litten would die then I would die if Magnus is good.

During a conversation that Nuto had with Litten, he shifted his perspective from “I don’t mind being shot” to “I shouldn’t be shot”. Furthermore, he implies that he would shoot me here, but his explanation for suggesting that shot is that he usually can’t get a read on me. He tends to be non combative as evil, and he was kinda sheeping Achro’s read, but I can’t individually call this bad because he has interacted this way with me before in the past.

[lol]

sadly its wordy = good with a few extra steps

seems like you are town leader type to me this game and actually hoping to solve the game and trying to get people together. might be a bad assumption/misremembering but i thought you were a very low hanging/ not putting yourself out there wolf

and instead u are out leading achro and litten who are supposed to be default town leaders

[Madeline]

While you’re around drop some scumreads too, top 4

[Magnus]

Kiiruma’s more or less a shrug read. He tried appealing to Litten in his opener with the same “I shouldn’t be shot” mentality, and his townlean on CD for not being here seemed bizarre. He’s also been a lot quieter than some other people, but these elements fall more in line with what I know from his town meta than his wolf meta.

His examination of Achro’s slot would be better if he wasn’t pretty much summarising his paranoia from Need For Speed and TOTA, and he hasn’t done much else. The townreads on you and Lol for openwolfing is understandable, I get it, but that I don’t know about that specific logic.

[Achromatic]

Woke up with a kink in my neck.

@Kiiruma does cd enjoy playing wolf in your experience?

My bottom four in my power rankings:

Magnus
Lol
Nuto
CD

Magnus i am having trouble finding rn but if he is town i can trust him to sincerely solve with me. If we want something with a little less spice though over on gamefaqs people who say things are town sided are unusually an amount of time wolves

Popcorny Mafia

ok so ive been thinking about the setup, dont we just autowin if we find 2 townies? last i remember playing this kinda setup mafia also had a 1-shot factional they could use to counter that but i might also be going insane and misremembering seems a bit townsided

Also these two reads dont make much sense to me

Popcorny Mafia

whats the rationale behind this also why is achro town he seems pretty standart to me

Popcorny Mafia

ftr i think magnus is towny rn so i veto shooting them. i also see lotsa people townreading catbae so im happy to sheep it. thats our two town shoot anyone else imo focus on finding townies and poe the wolves in. they cant do anything about towny players. abuse that

About the first one, i think lol has only ever seen me as town (eo if i am coming off standard that kinda should signal town in his brain i think) but i disagree that i am standard. Kiiruma said i was power wolfing but the underlying thing there makes a little sense - that i am not pushing people very much compared to normal so that reads as ‘nice’ to kiiruma. In reality there’s just no point being frenzied at this stage and no one so far is as polarized.

As for magnus reading through the thread there are some obvious problems with magnus. I wouldnt mind a nuanced disagreement with my read here but a shield doesnt make sense other than lol wanted to comment on the top posters.

Nuto didnt do anything to inspire me and cd not having posted yet probably cant be the shot by definition but he was active as town. Every other slot pinged me at least a little bit in a positive direction.

[Magnus]

@lol

and instead u are out leading achro and litten who are supposed to be default town leaders

I’m pretty sure I have not been doing that, but I’d take it.
I hard led town as evil in AI UPick, so your metaread has an outlier.

[lol]

i guess u just got good then. unlucky

[lol]

everyone below 40 posts + you + achro

[Achromatic]

You have 7 scum reads including yourself.

[Magnus]

‘80s Wild Overhaul isn’t a great representative of my ability because I was noticeably demotivated after failing four nightkills due to various town abilities.

[lol]

ok and

[Achromatic]

I dont feel like magnus has been leading at all.

Lol what are these reads. Cite posts?

[Madeline]

That’s the entire playerlist other than catbae and Magnus

[lol]

yeah im pretty good

[Madeline]

You seem to not have real thoughts on actual scumreads
