Okay, everyone!

Let's all report in in an orderly fashion here. Obviously we want to have an idea of what people can do in battle, but not give away too much detailed information. So I've prepared a little survey to help everyone give me some nice rough claims to get started with. Please answer these questions in a timely manner and then y'all can get on with jokephase while I stay out of your way and obsess over the results.

1. Do you want to be in battle tonight?
A - YESSSSSSS
B - Yes
C - No
D - NO!!!

2. Okay, that's your N1 choice, but is that like, your overall position, or just a tactical choice for right now?
A - Please continue to keep me (on/off) the battlefield at all times if possible (unless I'm just about to die and need to heal up, obviously)
B - I'd really prefer to stay (on/off) the battlefield overall, yeah - but this might change if say, I'm out of Shine, or maybe I could still do something cool in the other position every once in a while.
C - That's my choice right now but I don't really care, I'm awesome both on and off the battlefield
D - That's my choice right now but I don't really care, I suck both on and off the battlefield

3. Regardless of what you answered above, assuming you end up in battle eventually.... front row or back row?
A. Front
B. Back

4. Do you have a very clear preference between Physical and Occult abilities? DON'T give away which one yet, just wondering... do you actually have to care about what kind of buffs you get?
A. Yeah, I definitely favor one type over the other WHICH I WILL NOT SAY JUST YET BECAUSE I AM A SMART TOWNIE TOWN
B. Nah, its all good

5a. If you had a dayvig right now, who would you shoot and why
5b. besides me


Aww man a test on the first day of class?

1.) C
2.) C - Probably best off, but I can do good things on
3.) B
4.) B
5.) Noone. I'd save that poo poo until D2 when we had some info on the board. Alternatively, me twice

JoBro I will do wonderous things for you.

Votes generate discussion which generates cases which lead to executions that succeed based on the quality of the cases they are based upon.

Voting also forces scum to vote to fit in which in turn provides opportunities to expose their fake suspicions when they fail to compare to real ones.

In short it is bad for the town that so many town players have not voted, because that fosters an environment where scum players do not need to risk themselves by voting.

Don't let this stop you from enjoying your new year's, but also don't pretend you had enough time to read my post and complain about it but not enough time to hash hash vote somebody sometime in the last two days.

Catch up read.

Peoples posting I don't like in general
- Drunk Nerds - Gut read scum
- Pera - Says won't vote until sure, and then starts throwing out a vote in a somewhat random fashion without backup statements as to why

For those playing at home, Venom Soag/Gaspy is upset with me because in Minifauxnen Mafia I played a Cop Gambit as Town which led to him getting lynched while he was also Town.
He had been my strongest scum read all game

Which is why you are seeing posts like this:

Venom Soag posted:

Let me make this crystal clear; it is absolutely an in-game rationale because infinitum has consistently demonstrated not only as a “mafia player” but as a human being to be poo poo awful at decision making, appropriate behaviour and critical thinking. It’s not some weird meta read to not want someone in the game who is literally a huge rear end in a top hat who is too stupid to actually play mafia.

It’s ruthless, it’s blunt, but it’s also common sense. An army only moves as fast as it’s slowest member and that will always be infinitum.

Also if you looked I made in game cases too, so you trying to push me as someone who’s not engaging within the game just makes you look like lazy scum. Same scum play YPM tried in the last game.

You know my ratio for actually finding scum vs mislynching is actually really good, right?

Look at recent examples
- Subbed into DBZ mafia and Nightvig'd scum 2 nights in a row successfully
- I did gently caress up on Xad, thinking he was town, but successfully led the charge on the 4th scum team member YPM
- 3/4 scum ain't fuckin bad
- Called out Birdstrike's play D1 in Minifauxnen as scum being the only ones concerned with the timer running out.
- Calling out Anidav for insane theories, and would have pushed for his vote had I not been NK'd (But had successfully called for the No Lynch vote)
- Realised, too late, that YPM fakeclaimed the PGO and was scum (But had it on record :v:)

Look I'm really sorry you flipped town in Mini-Mafs, but I won't apologise for running the cop gambit in a game that was clearly all-vanilla, where you had been my top scumspect all game.
I was truly honestly knackered from a brutalish week of work+heat+being bit by deadly spiders and going to hospital - that I just didn't have the energy to make a proper case against you; to that I will apologise for. You did deserve to have had a proper case made against you.

However I won't be apologising for projecting an aura of confidence into my posts, which leads people to believe me most of the time, as that's how poo poo gets fuckin sorted. (And why the cop claim was believed)

But real talk time
You need to let what happened in the previous game go mate, and start this one fresh. Like every game should be started fresh
Fine you don't like me, I honestly don't give a poo poo. I'm just here to play Mafs.

Bifs called for a halt to it, so lets just play some mafs hey?

Truce? Truce.

Inf why do you think it's bad people know how many votes people are on?

Infinitum posted:

Because this is clearly joke phase, where votes will be jumping about, and only scum would give a poo poo about knowing how many votes someone has; so they can potentially continue the vote train.

Bifauxnen posted:

:siren: Birdstrike, Vanilla SCUM, died during N1! :siren:

Again the game had only just started, and it was weird to be so concerned about the state of play when it would have clearly been in a state of flux for at least another 12-24 hours before we knuckled down.

It's a post that stood out.

My instinct was to build a case against Bird, and I should have followed my gut on it.

Now observe TNL from this game.

The exact same thing that happened in Mini-Mafs is happening again here.

1.) The game has just started
2.) It's a 96 hour Day 1
3.) Everybody is clearly in holiday mode from Xmas+NYE poo poo
4.) Why the hell would anyone care about the game, seriously, until the New Year has started.

Again
The only people concerned with the state of the vote, this early in the game, are scum; as they are strategising how to spin plays.

Still don't believe me, have a look at TNL's follow up posts to being called out (Click through to see the posts by TNL in question)
