It’s like an 8 but more multi-directional.

I’m thinking what with the Timezone thing maybe they’re all still nursing hangovers.

Also it’s worth noting, I have no interest in recruiting others into my vendetta, and I love how amiable and cohesive everyone is here. I think we have a strong team, and I’m dismayed by our clutch of non-participants.

Scum laying the groundwork for a sympathy lynch maybe. Make a bad but philanthropic case and see who bites.

What?

The case on Inf is literally: "Inf is bad at Mafia."

That's completely untrue: In the year I've played Mafia across a few games Inf has been good with his hunches and he often has a really strong understanding for how his individual mechanics can best be employed to win the game.

This can backfire, but that doesn't make him bad.

That I don't like the way the case was made is neither here nor there, being a dick is a null tell. But the case itself is bullshit.

Y'all who are shine veterans, can you give some thoughts on these shine abilities?

Are they usable each night? do they have a cooldown? I skimmed the rules thread but didn't see anything specific, and my ability list doesn't really specify that there's a cooldown.

I'm only inferring that there is one based on the game flavour and the limited nature of the shine.

You just gotta use up one unit of Shine to actually use your ability. No cooldown, just mana management.

Bif can you start telling us who you'd like to see some pressure put on? So we can start voting towards them?

It's nearing deadline and we really should be aiming towards someone, even if it's to get a claim on the board.

My preference is TNL for the case I've made previously.
Would also be cool with Anidav for the 'actions in other languages' comment.

Hell no. If I see some specific post that I think needs pressing, I'll press that like I did earlier. But I would like to stay out of today's lunch apart from providing the hammer. I need to give y'all the chance to actually commit to a decision yourselves so I can observe who's falling in with who.

Xad or Tpink for their very lazy bandwagoning on the TNL push. Both just go “oh yeah what he said” while not adding any actual insight. Also I think the only time someone tried to clear Xad of suspicion it was a weird role playing flavour argument which to my mind makes it worse, not better.

Basically neither are actively scumhunting but we have evidence they’re pretending to.

I’m curious infinitum, do you have your results yet?

Here's some tithpinions:

1/ Infinitum is my #2 scum pick - for that god awful cop / doc / rolecop gambit he just pulled (I assume he's being joking about the doc claim) with literally zero pressure.

I get TNL (? I think it was TNL) saying that yeah, he's a good player when he puts his mind to it, but variability isn't a good indicator of that players ability, it can be used to mask someones ability to play as scum because you cannot rightfully compare how they play game to game.

It's concerning because he's either an extremely good player, or an extremely poor one and there is no middle ground and given his last game gambit (and yeah, I understand his argument that it's a new game etc etc) lead to a town loss, and now playing a similar card in this game has my hackles up.

2/ Anidav is my #1 scum pick - I don't have a lot to say about Anidav, he isn't striking me as genuinely engaged with either finding scum or the actual game mechanics in general.

Soldiers games during day phase aren't hard to follow for the most part because there's no battle mechanics in play so it's just a regular mafia game.

In my experience with Anidav, if his posting is vacuous or even introduces elements designed to confuse matters / muddy waters then he's scum.

3/ Soag's ping ponging between being really nice, to extremely pointed and it's throwing me off.

It's been far too long since we had a game together so I'm going to treat him as though I would someone I've not played with before purely to get an outsiders view on how he's playing.

4/ TNL strikes me as genuine. I never count someone as fully town until I have something that can pinpoint their actions and can make a reasoned assumption based on the outcome of those actions, however his opinions are reasonable for a town to take.

5/ IAJanus is my #3 scum pick for one reason -

Above post made at 4:19pm Jan 1st.

iajanus posted:

I'm having trouble following the conversation between Inf and TNL and don't have any strong feelings between them. I'm not getting a vibe either way about either of them asides from the usual bullshit d1 meta arguing that turns out to have random results most games. I wouldn't mind knowing more about Inf's potential action, so much as can be disclosed (I didn't understand the reference you made in the next post that might have given a hint). The only other thing that's stood out to me was Venom telling Bif that tithin had posted in a way that he believed was very town when it just seemed to be a fairly empty "idk anything" post. It just seemed a bit out of place considering the rest of the conversation flow.

above post made at 4:34pm - completely ignored my call out post, but also posted shortly after being called out.

Would vote Anidav -> Infinitum -> Iajanus

like for real I disagree/d with TNL's perspective and yesterday found a few reasons to fiddle with it, it's d1, that's the poo poo you deal with, but to his credit he tried to get me to say why (a request I ignored because I didn't want to be the lovely "I have LITERALLY already said so" bitch I always end up being) and even in the face of Inf - Lord of Pressure - managed to stand his ground well enough. I'm mostly saying this for the benefit of others.

Im in the Magellan strait where wifi is exceptionally bad.

90% sure Infi is scum and he's my absolute number one scum pick. Natural 20 is scummy for defending him and claiming there is no case on him beyond inf is bad at mafia which is not true at all.

If not Infi I may support a Xad vote but im not nearly as convinced and think Xad's play has been bad but not exceptionally scummily bad.

Vote Infi he will probably flip scum. I'll check in whenever I have ok wifi but mostly just want to sleep and watch game of thrones not in that order but possibly at the same time.

You top my list because I'm aware of how you play, and I have my eye on you.

You've introduced zero confusing elements yet except to ask a bunch of questions that were clearly in the rules you didn't read.

Prince of space calling Tired Moritz's vote on Xad a "vote on a townie" is really suspicious and would be enough for me to vote anyone who wasn't a total newbie if they said something similar.

I’ll do a more in-depth look in a moment, but short answer is I’d actually forgotten I was suspicious of them.

I’m at work and I keep rolling it around my head; role cop is a really, really scummy role in a Soldiers game.

Like it’s minimal, almost negative utility to town but absolutely something scum would have.
