Oh wait I don't remember seeing the boons actually spelled out in the OP before


Ok maybe it'd be worth investing one gun to get MORE GUNS

This is probably obvious but I want to clarify just to make sure - if the gun is not used during the day, is the boon granted immediately such that it can be triggered that same night? For example, let's say the gun is not used on D1 and the random boon is "paranoid gun owner for the night" - the night is going to be N1, not N2?

Oh, God no. I have zero read on tpink because tpink isn't posting. The issue is that our top three candidates are tied at 4 votes with 11 to execute and we have 15 hours to deadline and most of that is sleepytime, I'm starting to worry that we have a no-vote.

As for ranking, let's say... steak over SNG, with not much opinion on hambeet because like gently caress I was reading that entire slapfight, and tpink is, as I've said, a great big Null. So in order of who I'd like to get voted out today it'd be steak at 1, tpink at 2, sng at 3, and beet at 4.

Guarantee that at least one of the people driving a random lynch on me is scum, I mean wow. Your best read of me is a null and that gets me to #2 in your list? Phenomenal mafia playing.

What’s the breakdown? I just read him as getting overwhelmed by all the posts on day one. Yeah, better town move is to read every drat thing and make cases but it’s been a real loving chatty day one.

CapnAndy posted:

Will you make a case? I'd be interested to read it.

Sure!

I just re-read PoP, sandnavyguy, sandwolf, and Scientastic (just picked 4 sequential players). First two below, other two next.

PoP:
I think SNG is town for reasons below, and PoP stuck up for SNG pretty early on when people (justifiably) were all riled up about the Bif kill. The scum way to play it would be to start rolling a bunch of votes on SNG as I think he easily could have been lynched. Also went after JC very hard and voted for him. A lot of his posts are pressing random players on their positions in a way that feels like genuinely trying to get reactions and positions instead of tunneling specific players. Reads town to me.


SNG:
I really didn't like the Bif vig kill when it happened because the support for it was somewhat flimsy (he had Bif in his scum list because of her "performative" posting) and because Bif was probably the most active in making cases at that point rather than doing white-noise chatter. The kill itself sort of came out of nowhere, and the preemptive "sorry if you're town" excuse felt super scummy too:

sandnavyguy posted:

Sigh, fine.

I just wanted more info before firing but apparently Its not going the way I hoped. I hope you’re scum, but if you’re town Don’t say I didn’t try to give you every out there was AND more time.[b]

But on re-reading and thinking about it more, the posts actually read more as new-ish player getting frustrated that they shot town, and it really would have been a super risky gambit for a scum team to play it this way. I'm actually surprised that SNG didn't get rushed with votes immediately after Bif flipped. Finally, SNG also voted for JC - that's a little trickier in this game since it's conceivable that SNG and JC could both be scum and could just be on different teams, but it further weighs in favor of him being town in my mind. So I have him in the town category too.

More on the fence about this one. Called out JC very early, before the effort post that seemed to turn a lot of people's attention to JC as scummy, but it was not a particularly strong push as he acknowledged later. And because there are two scum teams, again, someone going after a player who later flips scum is not as much of a tell as usual. Got into a weird slapfight with Bif over whether his vote on Bif was exaggerated/performative. Said he expected Bif to flip scum without ever explaining why (aside from the slapfight they had over SNG, which did not seem genuine), and I thought that was a real confusing / surprising position at that point in the game - for my money there was no indication that she was playing scummy (though obviously this is now with benefit of hindsight). The thing that's pinging me hard in the other direction is his full-on defense of SNG after he shot Bif. Maybe my thinking is colored by the fact that I am now sure that SNG is town, but it's hard to see that kind of full-throated defense at that kind of precarious point in the game - there was a good chance that SNG would have been lynched after shooting Bif, and this kind of a full-on defense is a risky move if SNG and Sandwolf are on a scum team together.

Why don’t you pick some players you think are scum because posting only town reads is a pretty strong scum tell in my experience

Yeah, I'll need to do more re-reading. I disagree that posting only town reads is a scum move. If I'm scum and say that another scum player is town, then they flip scum, obviously that's going to attract attention.

This reads to me like you are afraid to call anyone scum. That is not a town mindset.

I think DGK is posting real scummy but I can't tell how much of that is impacted by my frustration that he's being a dick for no reason. I 100% stand by my argument that the vast majority of his posting is bullshit and noise, and I'm a little surprised to get a reaction along the lines of "yeah well 95% of mafia is noise." It's not, or it shouldn't be at least, WTF. Why clog up the game with 100s of garbage posts that don't help anyone and that just make it more difficult for players to sort through the noise.

You've done nothing useful in this game as far as I can tell (:ironicat:), you shot Hal who flipped town, and your case on him was basically this combination of "I think he's scum" (for unexplained reasons) and "I want him out because he's lurking":
