NOC Bigvivor Mafia Game Thread Day 5

I want to reiterate that Texas is a good vote right now. I would hope that if Texas were town and using this trolly approach, they would have pivoted away from it by now seeing as how dead and unuseful the current thread is. It seems to me that they are being somewhat anti town in their current approach.

Ftr I read through the smogon rewind game a bit and I think that texas then and texas here are quite similar albeit everyone is a lot less aggressive, sidenote that day one was really stupid I have no clue why people got that heated
 
Side note: Vizh post #434 is rly bad and I'm scum lean on him now unvote vote Vizh please provide more substantive takes, your reaction to pressure was basically 'whaaaaaaaat, me??'
It’s less of me trying to say “there’s no way it’s me because I’m town because I say so!!!1!1!1”and more of, I don’t know what actual information is available to actually make said read on me, if that makes sense

I’m not familiar with that game off the top of my head, was Texas town or mafia in that game?
 
Mod Announcement:

The day 1 immunity challenge is now live. Anyone may compete, please ping me clearly marking your submissions in thread.

The contest is a sketch competition of a salad. You have the day phase to submit, the winner will be decided by spectators of the game during the incoming night phase. The winner of the competition will gain an extra vote tomorrow.
ah, ok, this is interesting.

Duskfall98 is "day phase" defined as the post where hammer occurs, or when you resolve? i.e. does it include twilight
 
Wait, so the reasoning behind the suspicion of Texas is the submission + prior game meta/similarities from past games of mafia?

I feel like that's reasonable, but I feel like lowkey a lot of people have been decently trolly, I'm just wondering how it translates into the specifics for Texas. I don't really know the player meta for mafia/this pl other than Starhome participants in other social games, so I guess I don't have the nuance right now to firmly get the read.
 
I'd prefer if you stuck with your conviction a bit more. Even if you have a weak scum read (and even if I happen to know you're wrong), I'd still rather encourage people to elaborate on their takes and push them harder to get legitimate reactions out of people. As it is, there's no pressure on me whatsoever and very little pressure on Vizh (basically of your own design) so it lowkey looks scattershot to me, which is at best unhelpful and at worst looking like you're trying to do something without doing anything.

In other words push your scum lean on me harder pls (or push harder on Vizh if that's the route you want to go).

- Friendly neighborhood hydra
I wasn't really looking to create pressure w/ those votes, moreso just voicing what I think.
The reason I'm on Vizh isn't really something I can pressure them on... at least idt I can.
Haven't read rest of thread, just saw this notification and wanted to address it just before dinner. If there's been any developments, I'll post a new list. Might take Sam's advice on board.
 
okay idk how these are usually formatted but since I'm on mobile I'm just gonna write the numbers of the posts I'm talking about!

39-51. nothing super scummy here as far as I'm aware? just jumping in with normal conversational stuff. jumping in on the random voting kinda raises questions but its ultimately minor

57. kind of a strange question to ask? it's like "what am I doing that's making people believe I'm town" so he can get more information about his perception and use that to avoid suspicion


189, 431. both clarifications but also both general restatements that dont really move discussion forward too much. it's like he wants to insert himself into conversation so people see him being present but hes not actually contributing anything new

430. "no reads cause its day 1" is the main red flag here for me. I understand the sentiment since as a newbie it's hard to make any reads since we dont really know as much but I feel like even a "this person seems town" or "x is a little shaky" is something that you can share?

434. "what am I doing that's making you suspect me so i can course correct" similar to 57

436. this ones relatable tbh

438. minor but weird since whydon hasnt posted as much as some people

486-491. no real thoughts on these? 491 isnt bad but I'm not sure how to read the neutrality of it

499. extremely confusing tbh and I'd appreciate other peoples takes on it. defending someone who's voting you after theyve been discredited is odd and I could easily see it as either him being town who's tring me and doesnt want me getting pushed for mistakenly pushing him OR scum who just wants me to think hes good and take my vote off him

528. this one is understandable tbh

overall vizh has been posting but isnt really contributing his own perspective on things and it feels more like "hey guys I'm here! I'm helping!" hope this is what you're looking for and that it can help in any way! sorry if this is all just about of nonsense LMAO
 
Would have to be before hammer
ok.

here's what we're going to do then.

like i said before, i have an angleshoot on at least one person being scum. there is i guess a very specific circumstance in which they could POSSIBLY be town, but that circumstance is so small that we just lynch one of them today. and i know everyone here will agree with me.

assuming nobody chews me out for using it, i'm going to say who the first scum is. i'll announce my lynch order when i hammer, and post my salad picture in that hammer also. anybody else who submits is getting massively lynched.

point is that either i live with the extra vote or scum nightkills me, i think both are pretty good for town and i've talked before on why i think it's good to have a strong NK target

if people aren't a fan of me using the angleshoot today, i can do what i suggested earlier, fuck off for the rest of the day, and come back tomorrow?

If you're hard claiming a role that gives us info on potential scum, gib info.ty
