i'm very new to mafia (in particular forums mafia) so I'm not sure it's necessarily scummy in any sort of meta sense but the "yeah my reads are good" as some sort of implied authoritative position interested me

Happily diving into rules discussion instead of scum hunting.

i wouldnt put it past cpig to do that, but the big thing that makes me doubt your theory is that he's incorporated a really simple and unambiguous way to avoid the danger, and from the sound of it he made it REALLY obvious that the item is bad, to anybody who knows the flavor.

the good thing about your theory, is that you have a pretty easy way to, at the very least, prove that you actually believe what you're saying. i would find the tone in your initial effortpost extremely weird if you have 0 influence, so im assuming you definitely have some. im also assuming we'll be told at some point if we receive influence. so all you have to do is send somebody your influence today, or send some to multiple people. and im fairly sure nobody else is confident enough to transfer influence this early, so by tomorrow we'll know if you believed yourself enough to transfer away your influence. and if not, i'll be forced to suspect you're scum

We aren't playing the source game you idiots, were playing mafia

It's not that they want to move us out of joke phase, it's that they want to be seen moving us out of joke phase. It's about what the intended result is. Amni's cases were forced in a bad way, particularly on Sal, meaning there's less conversation that would develop from them. It leans more towards wanting to be seen instead of wanting to move us, which is what I'm calling out. But it's not strong enought for a vote yet, and the big problem we'll have is that the non-town teams can scumhunt the other teams.

..mdont you dare be reasonable for the second game in a row Wolfie...

Basically the primary objective of the game is to give me all of the influence and items

I'm asking you to commit to readsinstead of making a vague post about "other people".

Wait, poo poo, is Harold still alive? I made the joke then realized I've been gone for two years, and it would be cruel if he'd passed.

Mr. Steak posted:

staying home at night. i didnt think that needed explanation.


he announced plans where it sounds like he thinks he has a good chance of obtaining one of the items. if you read the OP, you'd know that a player only gets the item if they have the highest influence of everyone there, so i'd find his perspective weird if he currently has 0 influence, which the OP directly states is possible

Good grief, you pedants. I already said it’s the person who voted Byers. Let me spell it out: Dick.

soscannonballs posted:

Why do you think there are at least 2 scum teams? I have also played the source game and my instinct is that there is only 1 scum team, unless the op is lying about the kue jin/giovanni not being in this game.

Byers2142 posted:

Sabbat are scum, easily. Maybe SK, definitely anti-town. The Cams are, per the OP:

I read that, and I think anti-town. Anarchs could be structured a few ways, it'd be pure speculation, so I'm thinking 2, maybe 3 anti-town factions.

Dick Bastardly posted:

joke phaize comes in handy to town mid to late game imo because, with flips, retrospective reading of joke phaize can reveal scum posting when they thought they could hide in plain sight and leave behind subtle cues oft subconscious in nature

there is a possibility i just made all that up because

I don't like how definite you sound about there being multiple scum teams

Of course there are multiple scum teams, there are like Werewolves, Changlings and loving Mages running around this goddamn city. How is a Vampire supposed to drink blood in peace!?

b-minus1 posted:

Serving up a spicy read: merk and rarity are not on a scum team together

Sandwolf posted:

is this a real post? a reference to the game?

Tobbs Gnawed posted:

I agree it's not a great post but tapping your watch after 30 minutes is also not great.

Really though, ##vote Sal, vampire-aligned vampire.

Rarity posted:

So you don't think he's scum but you think he might have scumslipped what

Retro Futurist posted:

Oh right, 287 posts overnight, that’s why I don’t play in big games, right.

Retro Futurist posted:

Maybe it’s my complete lack of brain damage but I don’t see that as a scum slip

merk posted:

Can we talk for a moment about this obvious blood drinker?

Tobbs Gnawed posted:

The lack of an immediate response doesn't make him look worse to me. Could just be me projecting though. I've got two kids and a wife to wrangle here. I'm gonna disappear randomly, and I don't even have a day job.

Retro Futurist posted:

The flavour is pretty confusing, I could see someone thinking we're vampires and still being mortal Aligned. I don't even know what I am beyond being mortal Aligned, I'm not reading a wiki to figure it out.
Maybe Sal is scum and I look like an idiot right now but I don't see it

Tobbs Gnawed posted:

Hot take: you're Sal's scumbro and will literally take any out to get off the bus. Like, look at your explanation. What about Sal's last couple posts has you convinced that he's town?

SalTheBard posted:

I make a joke post at 11:46 or something like that. Sandwolf makes a post at 12:18 demanding to know why it's been 32 minutes (I suck at math gently caress off) since I last posted. I responded to his post 30 minutes later.

Gotta get better at faking reads man. Maybe you'll pull it off next time you roll scum.
