Elements Mafia 73 - by PlayerOa

[serprex]

I will be sending sorted list of my reads to moe in case of NK. Like I said, I've said enough tonight. I'll only be shitposting & correcting Linkcat

Well this night is being uneventful, and I’m on phone (so no quoting and walling), so it’s time to bring out the belt that RQS (forgot what it stands for) I foreshadowed.

Q1: How would you play if you were mafia?
Q2: Can you provide an example of when you played as mafia like that?
Q3: If not, can you provide the latest game when you were mafia?

I’ll start.
A1: I would make sure it’s not a carbon copy of a mafia playstyle that I’ve used before, unless I’m fairly sure everyone forgot about it. I would focus a lot on finding roles, and I would generally play it safe. Not taking any risks until absolutely necessary.
A2-3: 70 was like this. I laid low, hunted for GN, and obeyed the crowd to not raise any attention. I also made fairly sure to strike the Antlion when he was vulnerable (though this lead to my demise because rolez >_<).

Two people already answered it, TorB’s seemed legit, Link answered with Mafia 73. The latter answer is as unreadable as a book in the fifth dimension for a stickman. (LET ME READ YOU!)

@DC: This is the first time I actually ask my RQS. I only gave a quick preview to TorB previously. You can read back the context.

1. I play as if I'm town. I call wolfy activity - from any player - out as being suspect. I give town cred for things I think are town-like when I'm playing as town. I try to pretend like I don't know I'm a wolf, except where it matters as the win-con of reaching parity in some way.
2. Every time I've been mafia. I don't recall the mafia game #, but I have been scum here before (once in a setup that allowed for out-of-thread shenanigans and involved a mass role claim that I refused to partake in no matter m yalignment but it drew me heat and since I was scum it was a Right But For The Wrong Reasons situation I say) on a team that I think made a clean sweep victory (timpa, myself, ?JCJ?, been a while so I lost the memory).
3. I think the last time I rolled mafia was on MU (mafiauniverse.com) This One?

Sub, can you go over Link's EOD1 summary and a few N1 things that HAVE been posted ina  slow night phase to give some takes and reads? I even did your RQS (Random Question Sheet, I think).

[rob77dp]

I would really really love to see some motivation to really put something into it right now N1 from the current likely POE that is town -- such as Cal, kills, and DC who have been somewhat low posters (content posts wise) as well as the scummy-from-content section of Annele, kae, and shock. If you're in those groups and you're town get the engine going and put something out there (if you're scum in that list feel free to be towny and WIM-it-up to put some things out there too).

/never-forget-MU-Champs-S3-G5, don't coast too early.

Get him to do the same, _JUST_ in case eh.

Bonus comment as I multi-post during my free time and the thread sleeps: EOD1 sure feels like kae might have been in scum-chat as things were ratcheting up (didn't post much in thread but his icon had him as signed in) then suddenly he question my CFD onto Annele out of the blue... a bit in tune enought with the thread to know it was a sudden unusual move (it was, on purpose) but not felt really out of place with his activity (I recall pinging him to this effect a tad at the time even). In a re-read he is just basically not there but I recall his icon being green then when I move to Annele suddenly BANG he posts questioning it but I couldn't get him to commit to a solid explained town-read on here in that moment. Kae looking worse and worse as I ruminate things.

Yeah oty needs to devour kae over annele tbh

Fact: kaempf brought 4/5 votes against Linkcat. Annele only brought one

Tell me more about the DC scum reads? I've seen him play a few times, and he self-deprecates a lot more than is valid - he is better than he pretends to think he is.

So here's my justification, the vast majority of games I've stuck around in and racked my MoM points from was large based off an older era of Mafia in these forums... one where we shit talked the dethy, didn't care about balance all that much (old Vulture role, looking at you), didn't read 10 pages every time I came to wake up. I've largely avoided playing in current era mafia mostly for sheer volume and stuff. I'll tell you know this is the truth even though I obviously know this is something you'll try to read from me.

And hence, to answer Sub:

Q1: How would you play if you were mafia?
Q2: Can you provide an example of when you played as mafia like that?
Q3: If not, can you provide the latest game when you were mafia?

Q1: See Mafia 70, exactly like that. Yes, even though I was town. I died early so I never really had to cover my ass as town. To reiterate, I did not FoS Mobian because of my role, I FoSed him for NLing. I'd also play exactly like this but with 50% more shitposting. Or really honestly I'll ask my mafia teammates on how to frame my story and readslist and pointing my fingers shit, which cluelessTown!me is just second guessing myself.
Q2: I don't remember, last time I flipped Mafia was a different era.
Q3: Mafia 51 and 61

I'm not sure what I've stated and what I haven't, but I have Annele at n+ right now.

Yet you pushed for Annele to be lynched. I know it was partly to save yourself, but there were other viable options, probably lower than n+ to choose, right?

I asked the same question but at that point it was 5-2 in favour of Link lynch and from his PoV a n+ beats being lynched himself I think? I don't think Link felt he had to clout to try to push another lynch at EoD

[rob77dp]

Just noticing that Cal's read list N1 has myself and Link as his only wolf reads... with some explanatory follow-up about associative reads of not w/w but yet possibly w/w because capable? Then some things about w/v and v/w from my developing a town-read on link during EOD1. Not sure I followed what he might be even trying to say with it...

Look back to top of Cal's read list post and he mentions not switching to Link or rob (as a few people requested at/around/during EOD1)  because didn't feel like lynching me or LInk was a good idea. Cal -- give a little background or comment about your staying on timpa because of not liking a rob or Link lynch when we are you top two suspects but yet not w/w together. I'm confused by you essentially stating you didn't want to lynch your top two scumreads??

If there's actually a town otyugh out there who is thinking of randomly devouring tonight, please let me know ASAP so I can reveal my role before you do something stupid.

Alternatively, how do you feel about them devouring Calindu instead of our bloc?

[DoubleCapitals]

@Linky, what say you about me aiming kdz instead, seeing as you binned us together

[Linkcat]

I don't understand your question.
