Tobbs Gnawed posted:

So TMM's first attempt at a "content" post has him making sure that we all know he's voting Kashuno, and his vote is staying there, but it's somehow both a serious vote and a joke vote.

Zero conviction, very unlike TMM.

He briefly mentions FL and MMT, but he keeps repeating (I'm gonna look closer later, gonna look at it later). He's obviously read the thread as he knows who is posting what, and why, but he refuses to say anything definitive.


He repeats his assertion that I'm playing the way that I normally do, but echoes many other players in that it "just feels off".

There you guys go, content to go along with the meta read. TMM has no conviction, is dancing around saying/doing anything with any amount of seriousness, and waffling on the one vote that he's made this game.

Dude is scum, remember that after you lynch me.

while nothing you've said here is false, it's D1 and I can understand someone who wasn't here for a portion of this day having little to no conviction. this thread isn't exactly exciting to catch up on

it's also hard to feel tmm is weird for having the same opinion as many people vOv

It would be rather nice to be the killer in such a cacophony, I would feel quite safe.

However, whatever is best for the expedition, I shall accept as the will of God. I'll regret only having never made Dr. Pereau proud."

-SSV is likely scum looking at his post history

-TMM is on notice because if he continues in the fashion he is currently on without picking it up I am going to believe that this may be his scum game once again. Not sure yet; giving him time.

Moat calling SSV scum there but turning around and voting TMM, on who he doesn't have a scum read, feels really bad to me. Either scum trying to deflect off a scumbud without attaching themselves to a town read, or scum trying to set up a paper trail to vote SSV on d2/d3.

(a) BK says that he would have been more upfront if I had asked him questions, which is fair enough. But then he doesn't post anymore after I stop casing him.
(b) I don't see any possible way that BK got an alignment read from the post he quoted from FL. It feels like a falsified opinion.

Sure, why not.

Flying Leatherman posted:

Disregarding meta, Pera, is there nobody that stands out to you at all?

"Not at present.

The one thing I can say is that I perhaps realize the cacophony itself might be telling.

On Tobbs: The first to vote is Slamburger, joined by PMom, joined, unjoined, and then rejoined by Kashuno. Kashuno leaves again.(1); MMT joins, this is a stickup joins, Kashuno rejoins, PMOM leaves, chores joins, leaves, and then rejoins, Tired Moritz joins, Kashuno bails, i am the bird joins.

As far as people willing enough to target Tobbs to file a vote, Kashuno flails wildly, and five others have remained. The only people to bail and stay gone from Tobbs are PMom, currently in second place, but holding a sole vote on SSV, alone. Surety that the Tobbs thing wasn't working out, or an attempt to differentiate himself from the rest of his comrades? Impossible to say; Kashuno, now targeting PMom; and Slamburger, now supporting the FL vote without either of the original supporters - that seems odd to me, but what do I know?

PMOM has the temerity once again to instruct me in how I choose to speak which I continue not to appreciate but will not hold against him. We have Kashuno flailing wildly - which, alright, seems to be what Kashuno does, but at least for the moment ending up targeting PMom; Tobbs; SSV, perhaps in retaliation for PMom's vote; Tobbs bails; Max bails; Flying Leatherman joins and Kashuno rejoins.

As for TMMadman, Tobbs is flailing like crazy. I'm sure he's gone around the table as to why, but apply a vote on and off like crazy like so seems wildly ridiculous to me. Or maybe it is typical behavior that will not strike any of you as suspicious. Moat joins this vote with Tobbs.

On Flying Leatherman, chaoslord opens, Tobbs joins, then both retreat. Bottleknight joins. Slamburger joins. I'm not sure. This seems suspicious, and I guess I'll echo MMT's call for our friends to "reread" BK.

As for the sole vote on SSV, I have already discussed Pmom's temerity, but I will note that while he insults me, he does not try to build a movement against me. Ask yourself: if you were one of our killers, would my way of doing things irritate you enough to draw your ire? Would you focus on me? I think this might actually be a bit of an argument for PMom's innocence, which I am not comfortable stating outright, but seems to be the case to me? At least with the available evidence. Why would a killer want a less-experienced investigator to speak up more? I don't know. Maybe it is cover.

As far as content posts go, this is pretty lovely. But I suppose it was good for me to give it a try. I will reread BK in a little bit, and to be fair, reread MMT. I believe they are likely to oppose one another, but I'd like to reread their statements to have a better grasp on that.

My apologies to my comrades for failing to do better. I am not willing to apply a vote at this time."

I do not feel good about FL. I feel like even if he hasn't played a game with Keane, he's been around him. He knows Keane to be an eternal jokester. The clinical approach he takes to someone literally going BULLETPROOF in their post seems like fake content. It started off innocent enough but became a game of chicken scum couldn't stand to lose.

##vote FL

BottleKnight posted:

You didn't press me, to my knowledge. If you had, I probably would have answered you? If I missed you pressing me, please point it out and I will go back and answer for you.

As for your question, it's a gut read. He's getting frustrated that he's being cased for playing the game. It's the way I feel when I think I've picked a pretty low-risk argument to go for as scum and still get poo poo for it.

BK is posting very, very carefully. Basically, he's posting like me when I'm scum. The part I bolded is what stands out. It's a good way to get yourself going on pushing a case on a player you know is not scum. He doesn't feel good about FL, and then he continually does his best to rationalize it and then throws down a vote.

I see the scum case for BK. Is it different/the same as how he usually plays? I don't remember playing with him before.

I have a gut town read on pera. If she were scum, I think she'd be able to bounce ideas off her scumteam and be more active in trying to misdirect the vote. Her tone this game sounds like new town in a large game, trying to find cases but getting lost in all the text.

Regarding the PR (post restriction) - I've only ever tried to play Mafia in-character once and I found that it made the game a lot lot harder to play. Not only do you have to keep up on what's going on (which can be tough), but you then have to figure out a way to communicate your thoughts and you don't want to make that hard if you don't have to.

So now just pretend it's like an immunity challenge or t/d and answer these:

(a) for the record, how much SA Mafia have you played before?
(b) if you had an imaginary gun and had to shoot the scummiest person in the game, who would you target and why?
(c) re-read over Tobbs - do you think he's telling the truth or lying?

This might come off as me "mafia momming" but I like pera and can empathize with the feeling of jumping into a large game with a lot of regular players and feeling lost.

For serious it's not personal, we all signed up knowing some % of us would be scum. By throwing votes around, it forces you to take a stance - if you're not willing to, it's seen as scummy.

I don't think I'm wrong, but I'll gladly accept any proof that prove me wrong.

my case against you is your posting is weird and bad, and you're insisting that this entire game is meta (it's not) so you can't post.

it's possible to form your own opinions about things even when people are making meta cases. your position seems to be that it is impossible for you to do so, just like you were a scum player and trying to coast on everyone's cases.

there is enough to debate going on in this game regardless of meta that you should have opinions on people. this is why pera's posting is really bad. you seem to have regressed a little bit towards what FL said about you, which, entertainingly, is meta.

Flying Leatherman posted:

I'm always weirded out by TM, Stickup. It's just that town TM feels scummy too, and the meta tell I've been able to use in the past is that he(?) feels a lot more disconnected and is less willing to make alignment calls when playing scum. That's not happening here.

you literally just posted that you feel disconnected from the game because "it's all meta"

(a) how do you have a solid town read on anyone at all this early in the game?

and I'm going to steal mmt's questions:

(b) if you had an imaginary gun and had to shoot the scummiest person in the game, who would you target and why?
(c) re-read over Tobbs - do you think he's telling the truth or lying?
