NOC 2d3 Mafia - Game Over, Town Win! (and postgame is up)

It could be either but I need to think this out first

I don't like Viper's panic on L-2, explained in #95

I don't really think Heal's logic makes sense(wtf are the viper posts) and the VT claim is so so so so bad but also feels tonally genuine

unvote Duskfall98

I wanna think about this
 
This is the famed viper post.

health is not at 100% here but ill try to be available when i get home from school

on a sidenote
apricity
fool me once shame on you
fool me twice shame on me
if you fucking fool me a 3rd time in this game I will have too much shame to place on someone oml

so therefore, if you are scum hal. speak now or forever hold your peace
thank you for your time

This is my famed response to it.

viper's post is interesting in so far as it has multiple short sentences without periods that are on different lines. If his post is from mobile, then this could just be weird mobile formatting, but doing a hard line break like that on a desktop seems like it is giving off a significant cue to his mental behavior. It visually showcases a difference between thoughts, yet those lines are intimately connected and I'm not sure why the enter key was chosen over just a period. The message seems like a slow, methodical thought, almost like a poem. Still not sure what to make of it, but it seems viper is either mimicking a poem to mock himself and his own past failings in a sing-song way, or he's providing a visual pacing that is matching his mental pacing.

Ultimately I believe viper's post to be 100% contentless regarding this current game, and so I was reading into it for tone and mental state rather than content. If references past history, shows that viper is uncomfortable with his past failings, and then it simply asks apricity to claim scum if he's scum. Obviously he's not going to do that, obviously viper didn't expect apricity to do that. This means either viper was going for a weird introductory post that put past history on the table above all else or viper is scum and is trying to throw the target onto apricity because of his past behavior. And well, subsequent viper posts have been trying to do just that. Overall, viper posts identify really only one potential threat, that threat was introduced by him very early on with no reason, and all of his justification has happened after that.

After sleeping on it, this is now leading me to believe that Viper might have had a very early to paint apricity as a target and has been doing so slowly over the course of the thread without paying much attention to other possible leads. I also feel like he's being too favorable to me and could just be trying to pocket me. Viper seems like he has a plan, has been ignoring other possibilities, and as such doesn't seem to be genuinely scumhunting.

If we get to viper L-1 or even L-2, I will switch my vote onto him. I don't trust apricity but I don't trust viper either. apricity's attitude seems like he's not going to be helpful scumhunting in any universe though, and viper is overly fixated, so it's a toss up.

texas - neutral. he's been sort of quiet and hasn't been offering a lot but what he does offer hasn't been hugely objectionable.

nuxl - townlean. active, helpful, cautiously weighing options.

dusk - neutral. He went at viper early but has switched since then. I don't particularly agree with his logic so far, but that might be expected since he's after me right now and disagreeing with mine. Overall we might be on different wavelengths but I don't think this is a huge issue at this stage.

Lazer - earlier I scumleaned him after smogon pointed out the rust comment, he then hit an okay patch, but then seemed to maybe pocket me. Neutral with for now but I think there's bigger fish to catch that will give us more information or confirmation on our reads.

smogon account - be more active please.

caffeineboost - viper recently tried to defend him simply by saying "it's okay for town people to joke about being scum." If viper really is scum and not apricity, caffeine could be his partner. slight scum read. Viper's quote of "sometimes it feels like he is just doing filler posts randomly to get town cred but they are funny filler posts so i get why he posted them if he was town lol" sounds very weird. I don't get why he'd be laughing at caffeine.

viper and apricity - I've talked enough about them already.
 
This makes me town read him. Mafia would tend to want to get people off them asap to try stop a bus I think.

I did not say getting hal out of the game is easy. Trust me I know the exact opposite is true. I said it was easy to susp him on a bad reasoning such as he was scum last game so I don't trust him. Just because someone has a good scum game doesn't mean we should just off them at the start in case they are scum. Just to clear up this I have no problem with a scum read on hal, it's just this reasoning that I HATE. Can you forget about past problems you have with each other please, whatever they are?

There was only 1 vote on him (me) at the time he made that post iirc
no hammer (i think thats what you meant to say?) was happening soon

" I said it was easy to susp him on a bad reasoning such as he was scum last game so I don't trust him"

I never said that I was scum reading him based on last game lol. Once again all I have done is point out to people who have not played with him before that he has a good scum game and he showed some of the same signs as past games when he was scum

"Just because someone has a good scum game doesn't mean we should just off them at the start in case they are scum. Just to clear up this I have no problem with a scum read on hal, it's just this reasoning that I HATE."

Never said that because he has a good scum game we should vote him off at the start i just pointed out posts from him that i think would come from scum!hal
My reasoning that he is following the same tells that he was in the last game? what do you hate about it?

"Can you forget about past problems you have with each other please, whatever they are?"

I think past problems between us are cleared up and not showing in this game, my motivation to tell you when i find something i think would come from scum!hal is to get good discussion and get closer to finding scum, not because i hate hal or smth.

you hit the nail on the head buddy, i made an obviously joking post to start out the game so that i could paint hal as scum.
in all honesty that post was meant as a joke for people who were in last game, after that post he started acting scummy so i called him out on it.


good timing to post this as well cause i was about to write up a post on you
I have said I suspected both of you, but only thought one of you are scum and I can't really tell which. And that's still my take. You're fighting too much for me to think you're both scum. This is also the first time you've said you've disliked my tone and in earlier posts you indicated that you thought it was normal so now I'm confused why you are flipping your stories.

this post makes me think it is scum!heal. i feel like since he fully didnt read my post and instead just responded to what was said after his name that he is scummy as all he cared about was calling me out the second he thought i said smth about him. i feel like town!heal would read over things cause of what i know about him outside of this game.

I did read the whole post, it's not my fault you started talking about me and then shifted subjects without using proper nouns. Also, finally after this much egging I get the aggressive viper.

If you think I'm scum, put your money where your mouth is and vote me.

FYI, I still think viper is trying to smoothly pocket me anyway since minutes after his above post he asked me to play some weird steam card game with him. I think he's been abusing our out-of-game friendship to get me to think he's not scum. He's been playing on my negative relationship with apricity trying to get me to vote for him, defending me against others' criticism, but when I actually call him for pocketing he turns on me in the game while asking to do friendly stuff out of the game.

unvote apricity.

vote viper
 
If you think I'm scum, put your money where your mouth is and vote me. Otherwise, you're just looking like you're retaliating against the concerns that you have NOT rebuked me yet that others have said without actually going for it. Don't try to pocket me with out of game stuff either.

what LOL

ive explained why my vote is on hal and im not going to move it just cause i found 1 scummy post by you lmao

yes, i asked you to play a steam game lol this has nothing to do with mafia? i was playing the game, thought it was cool, and told you about it. it really seems like your just fishing for ways to scum read me lol

when have i "used" your negative relationship with hal either what? ive never once in this game told you to vote hal and me "defending " you if you want to call it that is just me expressing my reads lol.

how would i be pocketing you lol and when did you call me out for pocketing you lmao. and how is saying one post of yours is scummy turning on you??? i dont get this at all

this second post is answered by what i said above but still what?
my vote is placed for good reason and im not changing it cause i found 1 scummy post by you nor am i trying to pocket you by telling you about an online game im playing.
 
chose my option, interested in hearing this answer, honored you think i could be lying here lol

thinking about it, am kinda confused why you think my experience out of the game is important enough for you to make a read on me versus analyzing what i'm saying ingame though. why is that important enough to deduce what your read of me is? and why would i lie here?



are texas/dusk null slots for u atm? cuz u didnt mention em.

vote duskfall98

i have a bad feeling about voting lazer rn, but i really think this slot needs to speak up more
No. Bad.
 
It could be either but I need to think this out first

I don't like Viper's panic on L-2, explained in #95

I don't really think Heal's logic makes sense(wtf are the viper posts) and the VT claim is so so so so bad but also feels tonally genuine

unvote Duskfall98

I wanna think about this
Better.
 
Kind of willing to hop back on IFML but let me explain my godread town. I think that the two responses to the quotes being similar implies that his internal thought process is consistent.
 
Nothing about heal’s tone reads genuine to me btw. You are dismissing awful logic awful reads from heal in favor for ??? I don’t know.

(im assuming this is pointed at me and if not mb)

you know i was thinking about voting him after those posts tbh but i felt like it would look hypocritical and would give scum more reasons to get me misslynched. if heal goes to l-2 ill probs vote him cause i dont like those recent posts but im 2 much of a wimp to vote him now lol
this probs looks sus but who cares
 
Texas Cloverleaf - Neutral read: Seems very experienced, He really doesnt say much with his posts, however with what he has said most of the time, it doesnt need further explanation. Would love to see more detailed posts from him later, however could be not saying much as hes trying to not seem like a big threat as a power role, or that hes trying to seem helpful as town but not be too helpful as hes scum. Dont have a good read on him yet tho.
scum mindset
