NOC Lumiose Legends Mafia - GAME OVER (Mafia Win)

I don't like Skip asking me questions and then not really doing anything with the answers.

Would appreciate votals. I don't really rate a Vizh vote, I feel like their efforts to try and drag us out of rvs early were genuine and I feel like they're getting a lot of flak for a reads post which was perfectly acceptable. I feel like he's just catching heat because he's more present than a lot of people so there's more opportunities to post something bad.
I mean there wasn’t a lot in your answers that I could do with
 
Agreed with the first point, there are bound to be really strong PRs in this game that can bust things open by themselves if they live for long enough, by claiming early on you give up their cover and put town at a huge disadvantage by having them nkd early on, a disadvantage which isn’t worth taking a prayer shot that scum derps their fakeclaim.

Day talk disabled is a nerf yes, but quite honestly if each individual is able to pull their weight they don’t need to be constantly coordinating things, if anything that makes the team even harder to narrow because you can’t actually tell what’s being coordinated. I’ve won quite a few scum games without shit being said in scumchat mid-day, just because we had a decent plan overnight and knew how to improvise. (This is not at all relevant to progressing the game, I just like arguing)

In a world where you have an epic suck team and everyone knows exactly how to play and react without mid day advice sure - but the pre requisite is that the scum team is stacked as fuck for that to happen and can outplay the huge nerf (they were probably compensated in other ways for the nerf too). So you’re just saying a really good scum team is managing to win.

Mafia can always win because town can always shit the bed, but for consistency and winning scum games reliably long term then team coordination is really important, especially if you have say some stronger and some weaker players, because it not only allows the weaker players to take on the knowledge and adapt with the help of a more experienced player, it allows the experienced player to keep a foot on the pedal. Half the time mafia’s biggest mistake is fumbling under pressure, which you can shout at people to not do in scum chat, especially eod decision making can be really hard.
 
I don't want to dwell on no daytalk for too long but it's probably more impactful for newer players, so I'd say getting everyone to get some kind of reads down before going into the night (even if they are mostly vibes based) is important. Once we hit N1 it's easier for experienced maf to start coaching the rest of the team.

Fairy do you have any game thoughts?
There’s no new mafia players (other than des but she won’t have discord), so yeah it kinda circles around to that the experienced players can’t coordinate.

not really, im streaming the spl auction in 1 hour and i have all of the anxiety though. my current thought based on active convo is that im assuming maf are powerful due to no daytalk
 
Fair I guess.

Is there anything more to your Hydro read than the one post you quoted? Vote weirdness aside I am struggling to read both of you and the quoted bit gives a whole lot of nothing.
No that was the main one, i think it rang towny and im happy to leave it there for day 1 at least - i think regardless of dbd alignment its a weird post to make as mafia

Half tempted to move mekkah to town lost though he’s not really done much to deserve it he seems tonally towny but I do expect mekkah to have good tone anyways tbf

I would be less bothered if this wasn't the first follow-through issue fwiw.

wrt cut post, I guess defining as new is hard but e.g. Mekkah has played a lot of OC but no(?) NOC, Blazade is not a big NOCer, etc. The skillsets are so different the experience with D1 doesn't really translate imo. (It does more later in the game though.)

100 percent true agreed

It's only slightly townie if DBD is town imo. Tbh it's further the opposite in that if DBD flipped maf I'd be wary, but without flips I'm calling it null.

I'm happy to not touch Mekkah today, it feels like they'd be more sortable later into the game.

Where are you on Skip? iirc you haven't said anything about them.

My eyes glazed at them and although they have been miselim bait historically, I’ve not been one to push them those times I think?

In fact I think I townread him right the last few games but not seeing that here so he would go slightly below the null line for me but there’s nothing glaring just vote right now

Yeah I think skip is giving me the same sort of feeling as vizh where they’re posting content that looks solvy, but it seems forced and like some reads just fall flat or look TMIish, but skip also has had some decent posts and apparently he’s like this as town, I think vish is prob a better info lynch asw.

Vote vizh

 
#71 is quite an awkward entrance for skip to make if he’s scum and #381 + #385 have a solid sense of conviction behind them and look like he’s engaging with opposing views in a way where it looks like he does rlly believe in some of the reads he’s making.
Agree to disagree on 71

I think 385 is the only one of the two with good conviction, but I don’t see how it’s based on established anything in order for that to be supporting them
