NOC Bigvivor Mafia Game Thread Day 5

Secondly this thread state as a whole, sucks and I don’t think it’s going to go anywhere at its current pace so let me try something:

There are a lot of people that are new to mafia in this game right (firstly welcome!!)? If you aren’t, can you say what your prior experience is? If you are, can you try to tell me how you feel? Tagging everyone who I haven’t seen play here in the past few years but I think as a general question “how do you feel” is a pretty good indicator

I've played a few times irl but that was like eight years ago lol, so basically no experience. I feel rn I'm being too trusting of everyone cuz there's no one in my scum list and like half the people that talked are in my town lean list :| also have no idea what i'm doing most of the time lol, just trying to get how to play
 
Kinda find it funny that like 3 people r the only ones producing stable content for most of their posts LOLL. Feel like more volume players should be present atp but it’s a 72h phase and I’ve been baited into yelling at them before and this is my nice person phase because I don’t want to get banned for saying [redacted] and lose this banner
 
Phone posting fuqing sucks
M2H Confused on ur dichotomy between ur caffbo read, kinda looks like u hand waved it away when Hal spoke up about it? Are u just sheeping

nah internally i soft tr'd him but felt he'd implode under any sort of pressure I was sort of getting around the point where I got what I really needed but wanted to push it a little further to be safe and thats when hal expressed the tr and at that point 1.) another good player is mirroring a read that I haven't outright expressed and even contradict in thread 2.) the fact that hal (who as a person is going to have more sway than me over the vote and hence the degree of pressure than I will in 90% of cases) is expressing a town read on him makes it seem pointless to continue trying to pressure him because he's going to feel safe with that tr.

just having a good time cruising the thread so far + it’s only day 1 so not super concerned with developing any hypotheses since we know absolutely 0 right now

anyways last time I played mafia had to have been like 2014 or 2015? so I’m up against a re-learning curve but still happy to be back in it
 
Psypsypsypsypsythe HydrogenHydreigon Ty 4 responding. I take it it’s kind of a reading and overwhelmed sort of a thing? Do you think that will change soon?
Hopefully lol, i dunno how to read so I don't really think I can contribute well but I feel like I have to send something at least
and do the two of you have any reads you'd like to share
half my reads are "oh this person sent a message, they're contributing so they must be town" lol, but one I'm pretty confident abt is CaffeineBoost is town cuz idt mafia would draw attention to themselves by voting first (randomly), voting themselves and doing the bday boy thing

yeah definitely like that. trying to like READ people is kinda hard and confusing to do since i dont really know what people have acted like in prior games or anything and i dont FULLY understand it cause right now it feels sort of like a super subjective slippery slope so i probably will be kinda quiet for the time being

Why do you expect anyone to implode with a single vote?? What content did you even get out of him he just shit posted???? Hal didn't even post reasoning for his townread?????? and your 2nd point is literally irrelevant to town wincon and honestly just a terrible way of thinking but whatever. Your pressure was non-existent and caff didn't even post anything of actual content. What even made you initially town read him??
 
hmm probably yeah I wanted to pressure him a bit more to see if he'd implode but if you're gonna tr him there's prob no point. unvote
M2H I went to go double check and I was just mainly curious since it seemed like. pushbacky which is kinda what I remember you having a habit in a prior game called [redacted]

so ur saying u slight trd him when you initially pressured him? what was the post(s) that made u go from awkward to “biggest tr itg besides urself”

my impression of caffeineboost's scum game is that it just simply is that bad to implode under the slightest degree of pressure (no offense). I don't think I want to respond to you beyond that.

Can you tell me what M2H was this game
I’m on phone
He was mafia
 
Eli are you usually this nice about applying pressure or
It’s my first mafia game here in about a year and a half on here and I think establishing a circlejerk of people which i usually do makes it less healthy for the thread and less fun for everyone overall tbh Spiderz

You haven’t seen me play in a year, what did you expect?
