NOC Smalltown Hotel Mafia - Game Thread (MAFIA WINS)

skips read on hal kinda feels towny. i dont know them well enough but i get the vibe theyd be the type to kinda shrink back at being scumread as scum instead of pushing back. especially against hal who is like ultra intimidating
 
also knowing how hal played cool weapon and what he was allowed to get away with there is something insidious to me about his push on skip. who are people gonna side with between hal who is good at acquiring trust from people and filling the thread with noise vs skip who is reserved and someone most of us arent familiar with
 
i probably have to alt tab unfortunately otherwise im gonna be super distracted. feel free to interact etc

psy is probably town. selfishly i'll shelve my reasoning why because this doesn't seem contentious, so i have no reason to try and sway people on it lol

i kinda envision ls posting differently as scum, like unfortunately i think someone/some people have said ls has been kinda useless and spatty but like that feels in line with the past couple games she played. weaker than psy is

people who i havent reached townread level yet:

i mentioned earlier i agreed with jalmont's vote on tommy but i'll kind of explain it now. while unfortunate for our smogon hero duskfall because he got warred off the bat i can't townread his iso yet, even though he was dragged into that spat with psy. most of his responses come towards asking questions to psy and developing no read on anyone else. idk if he's taking it easy but there was a lot more FIRE in his entrance in town errant and rn it reads like a babysitter cooing psy to not scumread him when it's like... obviously going nowhere.

celever. srsly look at his iso lol for someone who's been existing since page 1 like theres no fire to his posts. he exists in thread but a lot of his posts have been commentary or questions, his only vote was oden which like ok whatever at the time but otherwise it feels like he's having trouble making content and doesnt care ab the threadflow of the game. he doesnt have a communicated read that isnt taken by his vote on oden iirc and he had a stronger entrance in matrices

people i havent put much thought into READING:
master oden/m24 (+ag/realiti)

everyone else i either dont wanna comment on atm or havent felt confident to get a lean on yet
 
Does the fact I said myself that most of my posting is just commentary before Eli did give me townpoints? :sphearical:

Just finished with the rands design session so I can try to contribute now but I'm skeptical how it'll go lol. This thread has been so centred on Psy I doubt there's massive amounts of AI content to mill through and work with.

not tommy because bad usage of his role can be bad (shocker, right?)
not roles that can be bad if they're on mafia (it's d1 not d3, theres no urgency, really)

i half-way agree with jalmonts post, kinda, in the sense that in my opinion the best way to play a setup like this is, after some daily development and thoughts, some towncore should be created and actions will be dispersed to people and they will follow them. once a mafia gets voted everything else falls into place because there's like 4-5 anti kp roles

playing like this is the most practical way to get associations when a mafia hits and it will allow us to best nightly allocate PRs

so the best thing people can do right now is like every other mafia game, try and find people that are scum, not policy vote people based on roles

there actually is some urgency, because again, if the poisoner is mafia and kills someone the night after next, we won't be able to do anything about it because the game will be over. similar to dusk's role, if the dusk is mafia and swaps the mayor to himself, we can't do anything about it and lose the game.

Presumably people play mafia because they believe they can "read" people better than randomly guessing. I tend to disagree with that, even moreso on day 1. Given the setup is open, I think we put town in a better position by strategically voting one of the roles we all agree will hold us back. I'm not even saying rand it, I'm saying, let's "find a scum" from a group of about 5 people.

fwiw I have my "reads" too but I don't see any reason why I should put more faith into them than anyone else's "reads"
 
oh. that was at this post

talk about something not psy related. what are reads or opinions of yours you feel like sharing? the mechanical discussion from jalmont is something to talk about or various slots including oj who you voted

I mean I did already talk about Jalmont's post. I think if we choose to go that route it is obligatory to vote Tommy first. It's not a route I'm particularly interesting in going down, though.

Trying to catch up, end of page 12. Eyes are glazing over because of the Psy vs Dusk thing. Here is something I think will make more sense than their argument: Psy town 2/2, me mafia 2/2, let's go for double 3 for 3 and vote me off as policy.

So I won't have to deal with so many pages of this argument going on forever. Please?

I think the psy vs dusk argument is probably the most important world to understand rn. After that please read my post on roles. Everything else is skippable. Happy to summarize the game for you if necessary

psy’s trainwreck tunnel was entirely because he refused to read the details of a game he signed up for and then even as of one or two pages ago still didn’t know what “twins” or “children“ referred to. I’m not holding Tommy’s half-jokes when trying to get psy to actually communicate with him - I will hold his later “lol I’m for sure going to use this at some point” against him but the idea that I’m getting voted because I rightfully realized psy was operating with one eye and ear closed is silly

I don't think dusk was joking and I think it's unfair to penalize psy for that when his concern is much more valid. but i would concede there's a world in which a town player would see things like that IF they thought dusk was joking and psy truly was approaching it for an actual "policy because role exists" and not "policy because dusk said he's swapping all the roles regardless"
