NOC Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Mafia - Explorers - Game Thread (Game Over!)

In that case I disagree and think it could look planned :psywoke:
my phone is destroying the discourse

i thought that m2h's point about that backup role not really being a ``safe`` claim made a lot of sense and occam's razor tells me they both seem more villager than not given how it happened + a few other things atm

im curious your overall impression of m2h's play this game
 
Shane’s playstyle is incredibly attractive to me (interpret that attractive as you will) but before this burst post I’d already come up with the following read:

I think Shane is town, I think his first push is town (genisu?) and I think that the far overblown backlash to that first push is scum being threatened by him and wanting to harm his positioning while feeling free to do so because they weren’t buddying their partner in the process.

A large number of players jumped on the Shane read and some of those people will be town parroting their townreads (probably the first person to jump on him is likelier town than the second person for instance) but all in all I think that the reaction to Shane making a single wallpost is wild
i can buy this and I found some of the objections to what I wrote minorly confusing for sure

The real answer wrt my overall impression of M2H’s play this game is my ADHD was popping off yesterday (and kinda this morning too) and my working memory is worse than usual which also includes all of your brain’s linguistic skills

Which is to say that I don’t have much of an impression on her rn idk what the pings have averaged out to rn

For clarity last game M2H used faulty mech again (she was dead certain that a JOAT wouldn’t dupe a role that’s on its same faction which just isn’t the case) so I might be slightly biased with treating her mech discussion on absorber, but I think she might be utilising that precedent to push faulty mech again (because she was town last game and happened to be right about the JOAT’s alignment lol)

i see

i melded most of her early reads and what she said usually made sense to me so I just townleaned her

i think the likelier scenario is either she and neon are both town or she's just spewing him town as mafia for some cred

one thing I found weird was her having a fos on genisu but then picking apart my post on him with moon logic, i don't understand what that was about
 
TBC I thought Clouds came off better than Marth in catchup though part of that is Marth went in on Shane too much
i thought he made some iioa posts and the reads he brought to the table were kinda uninteresting

he asks for someone to elaborate on their townread on laurel and then posts his own independent townread on laurel before he gets a response. his townread on laurel itself is alright but i dont see why he'd ask about it instead of assuming it's a meld or something, that felt out of place

i thought he gave too much credence to helldooms thoughts on me and he portrayed my post inaccurately (though that could be a misunderstanding)

i need to see the reasoning behind him voting flanders when he did, would like to know
 
thats actually one of the reasons i thought marth came off better, felt like he was pushing a genuine read
yeah he's pretty unashamed of just baldly stating how he feels and I'm not someone who's really easy to push on so i thought it looked fine from him

the progression towards him feeling sussed out on me after having a suspicious feeling that genisu is lhf makes sense

don't really like the reasons he came up with but that post felt like he had the feeling first and was trying to explain it after, i don't think the explanation ended up adequate but i can see how he got there and that it was very stream of consciousness

the reality is that he just thinks I'm trying to take control of the game and trying to kill lhf, fair enough

i found clouds agreeing with it more perturbing
 
sometimes i'm reading genisu posts and i'm like yeah alright i kinda see how some of these hipfire thoughts could be townie. then other times i see posts like this that are almost too LAMIST to grace this earth and i'm back to square one. interesting slot to sort out, no idea how he plays, but i will say that flanders' conviction on genisu being mafia feels misplaced with respect to their forcefulness to get the vote to happen

more talk than action if you will. hard doubled down on genisu being mafia just to sorta drift away from the subject in a way that i'm not sure tracks with someone who's so sure genisu is mafia here. then again, haven't played with them either, so there's time to figure this all out

bluedoom's growing on me, i'd say we could be pals for day 1. still think i'm most cool with M2H and laurel slots so far, neon's whatever and might just wind up being town but i'm not following what in his role locktowns him or writes off the fact that it could just be a fakeclaim he was given to sound townie, explaining why he was so eager to claim right away. is claiming straight away typical for him?
i feel like this isn't so reasonable

hedging on genisu is whatever, i wish he said something more interesting about it

i disagree entirely about what he said about flanders, and i think Flanders' vote is very emotionally driven and real

yea clouds felt like more trying to subtly undermine you in addition to like 90% of his content being just bouncing off other ppl i feel

also did he go into his vote on flanders anywhere?
 
I kind of forgot to unvote ##Unvote


- So far Flanders gives me town vibes, pretty consistent with last game behavior.

- Saber and Neon... I really don't know and won't be trying too hard to read those slots in the near future.

- Jalmont is acting different than last game start. Last game he was mafia so that would be a good thing however I think it's similar to d2 where things started going south for mafia so... I don't know what to make it out of it.

- I like Duskfall and Clouds so far even if they don't align with each other views.
 
- Genisu and Laurel were acting suspicious at the start, specially Genisu. In laurel case it can be that he truly didn't know about the setup info. I didn't know a lot of things last game so I won't push this one for that. Genisu behavior seems counterproductive from a town viewpoint so he's probably the best push so far. First time playing with them though so I don't know their experience or previous behavior.

- I feel like blue comments are either spot on with my thoughts or complete 180º never middle ground, I find it funny. Null spot for now.

- M2H and Shane are giving me the same vibes that I had last game with M2h and Celever being one of them scum (Celever), and I was right.

- HH, Joey, A fairy, Celever and Pulsar... some of them have a decent amount of post but I don't know what to think yet.
 
This is an argument with no bottom. If you apply this logic to the entire game, it becomes impossible to vote for anyone who acts scummy, since they'd let themselves be coached instead. It hypothetically is ~a point~ but I don't see why you would weigh it very high instead of just baldly reading the thread and determining alignments that way.

It's also very unlikely that someone would start coaching as soon as RVS. Keep in mind a large portion of the thread had sporadic activity up to that point. What if his partners weren't available or just weren't offering coaching?

to be clear i only think this because it's specifically a newer player who has not rolled scum yet iirc
 
Clarity last game M2H used faulty mech again (she was dead certain that a JOAT wouldn’t dupe a role that’s on its same faction which just isn’t the case) so I might be slightly biased with treating her mech discussion on absorber, but I think she might be utilising that precedent to push faulty mech again (because she was town last game and happened to be right about the JOAT’s alignment lol)

My "faulty mech" last game was spot on. My "faulty mech" this game is likely spot on.
 
Shane posting since I woke up hasn't been horrible but it seems like he has a more puritanical playstyle that does usually come off of MU fwiw.
 
That's a valid feeling to have, but it'd be even better if you substantiated it by showing us which posts he's made that you think look more villager than mafia which have informed your LHF read. Just saying LHF isn't something I can do anything with on my end other than disagree and say a spade is a spade. So, what's he done that's villagery in your eyes?


Your last post was that you saw and understood the scumreads on him and considered him LHF. How does that end up with me being scummy for pointing out that some of his posts are votable? If he's LHF, you acknowledge that he's at the very least a bit scummy, right?



Maybe tunnel vision, but I consider the second post classically scummy, and the first has townreads just on two people that are writing within his interest and scumreading people that have been argumentative with him.


Again, this is an argument with no bottom. At that point, there's not really any way to read a newer player. I disagree that it would be 100% in line with the town play of someone who isn't experienced. Someone who's an inexperienced villager would probably play a lot more simply when they're figuring out the game or maybe not post as much persuasive content or maybe have some misconceptions about how wolves generally act, but expecting them to be flat-out illogical is a wild leap -- humans have a logical thought process for everything they do in life. Up until now, I've seen him do several things that are more aligned with how I'd expect a newer wolf to play.


So my position is this: A couple of posts before your quote block about genisu, you said that you were going to post a bunch explaining a lot of your reads, but the follow up of that was a laser focus on genisu. Now this could've(and I'm sure from your perspective) likely been because you had a headache at the time of that post, however you have to admit from an outside perspective it looks agenda heavy at first glance, yeah? For me it was the lack of an actual follow up + voting at what I thought was a convenient time.

I think the second post that you quoted is classically scummy yeah, but fwiw, Jalmont hasn't defended him nor has he really scumread people against genisu? I guess he voted you but then he unvoted without any explanation so dunno if it counts.


For the third part, I'm going to preface this by saying my read is coloured by my experience w/ him in other non-mafia games(we've played a multifaction mafia game together and a free for all game with alliance building stuff). I think trying to vote neon off because he had beef with his game from a past game is within his line of thought as either alignment; a town!genisu that legit thinks that neon's game is bad for town fully believes in taking that beef and voting him. asking people to claim in the thread is because he literally hosted the previous game where town won by massclaiming, so I would totally buy a town!genisu wanting people to claim thinking that it can break the game.

Where I agree with you is that unvoting because his scumreads pressure him to do so looks bad; but that's the thing: I think his lack of self-awareness comes from town and not mafia. I'd personally think that newb!scum are a lot more self-conscious and worried about what they say a lot more.
 
Scum!Duskfall should really know better than to not pay the M2H tax. Not giving a snap tr on me is genuinely wolfy coming from him. If Duskfall is scum, he likely thinks he can actually ml at some point which means he probably has active, powerful allies fwiw.
 
I will say that me having a read on you when you don't have meta on him is unfair on my part but in my defense I didn't really think about that until after I made a stream of posts related to your vote
