No don't worry, this is just how gaspy plays.He generally finds all the scum by day 2 and then spends the rest of the game trying to convince others to vote for them, without revealing how forensic linguistics works and how he uses it to find them. Then he's lynched because everybody thinks he is scum.

To be fair, I actually seeded the idea of a framer then went "golly gee gosh is that a thing???" when someone took the bait.

I love doing this. Highlight of my mafia career was suggesting there could be a mole in my masonry. There was, it was me. Completely destroyed the trust between the masonry members, preventing them from coordinating effectively while making myself look like the mole couldn't possibly be me. If nobody thought there was a mole why would they suggest it? I felt like Kira from death note.

I was a big fan of Wario in the GBA game. His handling an acceleration was only slightly worse than a medium weight, but he had the benefit of heavy weight bullying (smashed everyone else aside without moving much) + a high top speed.

Hi guys, back from uni. here's my thoughts in the style of XyloJW, a reply to every relevant post in the last five pages

Lid posted:

There are six people with lesser post counts than Beet. Two of them have less votes than votefinder. And you choose Beet.

I smell a fish and suddenly my vote on you for being daisy suddenly makes a bit more sense.

Possibly being deliberately dumb and misunderstanding the argument. Beet is usually a very prolific poster, so it's strange for him to post less. Probably just being dumb though.

Asphyxious posted:

Just flinging poo poo. You're being oddly contrary though.

Bif is always contrary, especially when she's town. You know this.

MysticalMachineGun posted:

whats for dinner has only posted once, and that was prior to game start

One day you idiots are going to learn about Time Zones.



Gaspy's posting is different to other games I've played with him, where apparently he was town.


I'm voting for Anidav because he is a shocking mafia player and always does more harm than good by shutting down town discussions. He is also racist and sexist, and these were perfectly good reasons to turbo Mills in the past.

Anidav posted:

I'm actually alright at mafia, I just gently caress up in roles I've never had before.
He also has no capacity to learn from his mistakes.

Anidav posted:

I'm noting a slight team silent effect around here too and while I do acknowledge my feedback from using my helmet without much thought you guys should also watch out because we could all get busb'ed again followed up by Mills smug afterthoughts.

Given this is Auspol people might be at work but the busb play is still fresh in my mind.

My main issue is that you currently have no way of knowing whether Anidav is worth protecting or not, unless you are scum. At present moment no one (other than scum) has any reason to try to defend another town member. Discouraging people from voting for him is, as such, pretty suspect.

The issue is that it's easy for scum to vote for Anidav without incriminating themselves if he flips town, so you don't get as much data as you would otherwise. HOWEVER, it's no worse than lynching someone at random in terms of "well you can't blame me for that when he flips town", AND you have the added advantage of removing a poster who's sole talent is to absolutely dominate and derail any productive scumhunting until somebody finally kills him.

That's what bif does on day 1 when she is town? She is trying to freak you out, because in theory you wouldn't freak out if you were town but you might if you're scum and not as cool, calm and collected as beet when he is scum. Not really going to work here bif, gaspy is the vote leader and it's reasonable for him to panic even if he is town.

I'm suss on beet but I have nothing to back that up. Playing with him on my team when I was scum a few games ago was terrifying, if he has a tell or makes mistakes I don't see them.

That's right.



Scum.

This is completely wrong.

I can't tell who is scum pushing an agenda and who is just bad at mafia. I'm suss on beet because this is how he played when we were scum team mates. Tearing apart dumb arguments and scum hunting by incriminating townies with bad arguments. Bif and gaspy are both acting strangely but neither are talented enough to be staging their argument, so at least one of them is town.

Gaspy hasn't really presented an argument against coq so that's odd.

Lol @ kommando criticising my Anidav vote. I could explain day 1 voting theory for what must be the hundredth time, but I'm phone posting so gently caress that.

Bifauxnen posted:

Haha, yeah I know I'm being really emo right now, but goddamn that was a mess. There are so many contradictory narratives constructed around me simultaneously, and Beet tries to case me on "why can't you be yourself"?

Should I go throw some more votes around just to keep up appearances to match some behavior from like 5 games ago, or what? And he came into the game showing up to say "WOW GASPY LOOKS SUSS", hey guess what, that's the exact same thing I said, even came up with it of my own volition before he got here, and now he's trying to act like that was a really strange thing for me to do.

And the worst part is I can't even bloody tell anymore if that's him being crafty setting up the false narrative, or just being dense cause that happens to me a whole lot.

Maybe instead of taking it personally and taking arguments at face value you should consider that perhaps beet is doing this because it's an easy way to look like he is scum hunting without most of the effort. Unless being a huge whiny dramababy is an elaborate scum play in which case I'm going to kill my self. But you do have a distinct tell when you're scum and when you're town. You're miserable and crazy when you're town, and that's why you're at the bottom of my scum list.

We have several people arguing past each other and it's just going to end up being town eating town again, with a few idiots going "lets go after the silent posters". meanwhile the scum, who have post counts exactly in the middle, comment with some inanity as town eats itself. Being town is really frustrating in this game, especially when voicing an opinion immediately opens you up to IT MUST BE YOU! posts.

Then the same people wonder why nobody wants to post anymore.

Good work auspoo.

I believe he played more constructively and with more effort when he was scum, so at this stage, I am thinking town

didn't answer your question because I skipped the last page of bullshit, sorry. What was it? My only comment about Coq was that gaspy made a bunch of noise about voting for him, but with no actual argument that I could see to back it up.

I say all this as someone with years of extensive Mafia experience, naturally

But in terms of my gut instinct I think its helpful to put it out there as:

Reinforcement of gut feelings other townies may have already had but then dismissed because of *~ facts ~*

Wisdom of crowds. Even if scum are deliberately muddying the waters we still outnumber them by this point so we should make the most of collective gut feelings as we have them

This is a terrible idea as it's actually very easy for scum to steer the conversation. Most auspol mafia players will just go along with whatever the louder players say.
