Re: Philosophy Mafia 2: Electric Boogaloo
A general rule is the worse things are going for town, the less wolves feel the need to act. I'd definitely reconsider nutella if we end up voting out town

Re: Philosophy Mafia 2: Electric Boogaloo
I feel if one of the people in the general POE is voted out and is scum there is a high chance that the others are as well

Re: Philosophy Mafia 2: Electric Boogaloo
Hedging is scummy because scum are far more concerned about staying consistent. They don't want too much scum reads off the bat because they don't want to make too many enemies or be blamed when their vote goes wrong but don't want many townreads either because they might have to vote them out later. I can link you to times when I caught a wolf based on excessive hedginess or when I was hedgy as a wolf myself. Of course, it can also be indicative of inexperienced villagers, but I'd like to think that the player quality here is too good for thatnutella wrote: ↑Wed Nov 24, 2021 7:05 pmCan you pinpoint why hedging is mafia indicative or do you just not like it? You may view it as counterproductive and not efficient protown behavior but that doesn't make it not town behavior.

All this "x could be scum, but could also be town" and "I don't want to vote for anyone, they're all so towny" doesn't help town at all and makes it easy for wolves to hide.
I have 1 post left, which I'll reserve in case of something that I or my partner really need to say. See you at EoD.

Re: Philosophy Mafia 2: Electric Boogaloo
I will pop in to say that the one thing I do not like about this game is how hedgy everyone is. This even applies to some of my townreads. Voting "sleep" or whatever should not even be in consideration.

Re: Philosophy Mafia 2: Electric Boogaloo
Have very few posts left until 1h before EoD, so here's a couple things I'd like to say
It would probably be a good idea to use an investigative ability on Mac and if he survives a few days he may be worth looking at, but for now there are better targets. I still am not a huge fan of Mac's progression, I can understand why he was hesitant to townread us due to his role but it doesn't explain the others such as the odd push on Cass. Still, I think mafia Mac would be more likely to check Falcon early, and could have easily justified it as resolving an inactive slot or whatever.
Despite not really seeing anything towny in Dyslexicon's ISO I really don't like their wagon so I will avoid that for now
Axehole has been disruptive and has been acting anti-town but apparently that's typical of them so I don't know what to think. Would not mind that slot going bye-bye.
Wilgy has been scummy, I don't like how his first move was to randomly townread a vocal player which is a scum thing to do, and none of their reads are impressive. Currently my preferred option.
MR has also been uninspiring, it feels they are not doing any work but still trying to maintain a thread presence regardless. Wouldn't mind them being voted out either.
Sloonei is mixed, I can believe he's not caught up based on posts (while he would know more if he was in wolfchat) and he hasn't been criticizing players for being active, which is a common tell for inactive scum. However, the way he immediately townread Marmot for his post while doing the same to no one else is a little sketchy. Not the biggest fan of his MR interaction either. Would not vote for now as I'd like to see him more active but I'd like him to participate more now.
Aside from the previous reasons to townread Marmot, there's also this:
Anne still doesn't promote any strong feelings in me one way or another. As Nanook has not posted again due to hitting his cap my read on him is the same as before. Everyone else I didn't mention is a townread to varying extents.
I believe I should have three posts left between me and my partner (assuming he didn't post while I was writing this) so this may be my last post before EoD. See ya then, I guess. For now, my vote's still on Wilgy.

Not impressed with this post. Falcon, you're being treated as confirmed town and it's important for confirmed town to be vocal and bold. Obviously not advocating a vote for this slot but if we want to win it's important that you step up your game.falcon45ca wrote: ↑Wed Nov 24, 2021 11:08 am Dizzy was voting Mac literally moments before I told him to get his vote off. Telling Dizzy to get his vote off was also a general reprimand for anyone with a vote on Mac. A player doesn't have to have a vote on someone to be eager to lynch them, they're not mutually exclusive.
You calling Mac scummy but not voting for him is scummy btw.
You play the game your way, I'll play it mine.
OHHHHHHHHH yeah, if you think clearing my slot when I'm not participating all that much was a sub-optimal move by Mac, then you don't know much about my scum game.

Aside from the previous reasons to townread Marmot, there's also this:
Due to my role I happen to know BTSC is over Discord, and the wording suggests Marmot doesn't know that, which he would if he was a wolf (although I'm not sure how he would word it if it was the case). Although this isn't a 100% derpclear I think it does add another piece of evidence to townread him.

Re: Philosophy Mafia 2: Electric Boogaloo
Alignments aren't tied to roles, so this game wouldn't have balance like that in mindMaster Radishes wrote: ↑Wed Nov 24, 2021 2:14 amCounterpoint: it sounds exactly like Mac to get bored of waiting and make a snap decision.ilario wrote: ↑Wed Nov 24, 2021 2:10 amIt doesn’t have to be a lie for him to be mafia. I don’t have any gripes with the claim I have gripes with how he used his role. And idc if he waited 26 hours I’m sure mac would see the value in having his slot cleared especially when people were already wary of him at the start of the game, especially when he has the ability to carry this game himself if he became clear and tried. What does clearing falcon achieve for town? I’ve seen falcon cleared one game before and he just proceeded to stop caring about the game and essentially 5 posted every day phase, it was a bad decision by mac if he’s town to clear falcon over himself considering ive heard falcon is pretty easy to read from others and the fact that falcon is gonna sheep Mac regardless despite being the clear and i think too highly of Mac to think he would make a bad play like that whilst simultaneously having a poe that I have an immense amount of trouble seeing of having any sense to it. He essentially has me and 2 slots who I have clearing interactions with on his poe, it’s just incredibly strange to believe that he legitimately believes me being scum with either dizzy or Cassandra makes sense based on the interactions I’ve had with both slots.Master Radishes wrote: ↑Wed Nov 24, 2021 2:01 am Mac's story doesn't feel like a lie? When mafia lie about mechanics they tend to either keep it simple ('I'm a cop') or overly complex ('I'm a cop on Nights that fall within the fibonacci sequence but I only get a result if its a 3P who has activated their ability and I get a double cop on N1'). Mac's story is specific in a different way ('after 26 hours I got fed up and used it') that is unlikely to be fabricated.
Or it is just a clever lie I guess, which is also a possibility because uh we're starting to reach peak 'confirmed town' in a game that's supposedly not bastard, so I can only imagine the power Mafia have here.
You might be right of course. I do think someone amongst the 'clears' could easily be lying or else Mafia have extra PR power.
That does mean that we're unlikely to see a role like a Cop that would have significantly more utility on one faction
Another thing about Marmot's claim, if he was scum he wouldn't want the town to know that mafia resolves ties. Him claiming does put a commitment on him if votes are tied, not that they should be tied of course. That's another reason why he's likely town, and actually you can probably move him to the top category on my list.

Master Radishes
Sloonei

Mac and falcon obviously move up for a claim that Occam's Razor leads me to believe makes them town. Marmot moves up based on claim and a potential derpclear, while JJJ and spf move down - the former because I'm not sure I buy that he thinks we shouldn't be pressuring people and the latter due to a lack of real effort today and a number of waffly posts including the one on how there aren't consensus town reads. I still think they're most likely town but they're the weaker reads in my towncore. Sloonei and Dyslexicon both move down due to POE.

Re: Philosophy Mafia 2: Electric Boogaloo
If Mac has a fakeclaim, falcon will be able to tell us, unless you believe they made such a risky w/w gambit that would result in the other dying if one of them dies. Anyway, how do you feel about DrWilgy? He's pretty scummystaypositivefriend wrote: ↑Wed Nov 24, 2021 1:24 am i dunno. i think that mac's claim might be fake. i'm open to exploring options outside of him, though. it concerns me that there are no consensus scumreads outside of mac, which is probably bad news for the game regardless of mac's alignment

Re: Philosophy Mafia 2: Electric Boogaloo
Wait a second, if Mac really did wait to check, and Falcon can confirm, maybe it is T/T as wolf Mac would check as soon as possible in that situation. Maybe Mac knew Falcon would be inactive and felt there would be no risk in waiting, but that seems unlikely.leetic wrote: ↑Wed Nov 24, 2021 12:59 amIf what Mac says is true, it only clears Falcon and not Mac. Keep in mind 1. if Mac is lying about the sequence of events Falcon can dispute that unless they mutually agreed to a lie and 2. Mac would be putting one of his partners under unneeded scrutiny if they're w/w. I don't entirely trust Mac but I'm willing to treat Falcon as town.Marmot wrote: ↑Wed Nov 24, 2021 12:56 am I'm doing the best I can with the information you've presented.
My understanding is that you and falcon were given a neighborhood together. You don't know each other's alignments. Collectively, you were also given an alignment check that you could use on someone at any point in the game including Day 1. You opted to use it on falcon. Is this correct?
To me, this doesn't seem like the logical use of this role, which is part of why I don't buy it.
Also, you have 7 posts until postcap (104), just in case you weren't aware.

Re: Philosophy Mafia 2: Electric Boogaloo
That does seem a bit unbalanced in a game where roles aren't tied to alignment and millers explicitly don't exist, seems like it would be unfair for Mafia to rand into such a role.

Re: Philosophy Mafia 2: Electric Boogaloo
I'm not sure if a role that would go to a random player is allowed in a non-bastard setup, or if a role that works differently if it is on town or mafia would be included. The OP doesn't mention how tied votes will be resolved, only that a player will still die, which does lend some credence to MM's claim but I'm not sure if he's telling the full truth. On another note, falcon's posts thus far have not been inspiring.

Re: Philosophy Mafia 2: Electric Boogaloo
Hi, I'll be here for a little. I do like how Cass's procession has been very similar to mine and my partner's in a way that doesn't feel like sheeping, so she is one of my strongest townreads at this point. I do find it scummy how DrWilgy's first action was to immediately TR a random villager, and I would definitely keep an eye on him. None of Dyslexicon's posts are really substantive and I would like them to post a general read of all of the players, right now they're a slight scumlean. I still haven't seen anything impressive from Mac or Axehole's ends. Master Radishes is meh for me, nothing in their ISO really sticks out. Inactive players are inactive.

Yeah, I don't consider blatant attempts at gamethrowing to be "joking around". There isn't really any towny motivation in any of Axehole's posts and regardless of alignment their attitude stinks.
Is there anything wrong with a "level 1" feeling read? It would be a fallacy to assume that just because a read is more complicated, it means that it must be more accurate. Regardless, self-voting is something that should always be discouraged and I don't see town doing it that often unless they get immensely frustrated.iaafr wrote: ↑Tue Nov 23, 2021 3:39 amthough for what it's worth, this matches one of my perceptions on leetic that
idk, leetic's idea of towny and scummy is sort of surface level and level 1 feeling all the time, though i personally liked the way he townread me... but idk, if he's the scum archetype who likes to townread what they think they'd correctly townread when the articulatable reason comes up... idk
it's a playstyle i tend to scumread
i could easily see this take being a real and good take and yet i'm not even sure leetic's scum
Part of our role is that we're confirmed town to each other (like masons). If me and ilario are of different alignments, then the game is bastard and the rules explicitly state that this isn't a bastard game.
Anyhow, I read LC, iaafr, nutella, JJJ, and cassandra as town, with Marmot and SPF being lean town, anne being null, and Nanook/Mac/Axehole being scummy. ilario largely agrees with me, though he has anne as town and JJJ as more null. Everyone else is too inactive for now.
I'll comment more on Nanook when he's here since I want to see his response. Mac's posts have all just been kind of lame and usually I see stronger pushes from him when he's playing as town. I think I've already said enough about Axehole.

Re: Philosophy Mafia 2: Electric Boogaloo
Debunking another person's reason for townreading someone is not something that scum do, this provides another reason to solidify my townreading of this slotiaafr wrote: ↑Tue Nov 23, 2021 1:11 amoh no the only reason LC has to correctly townread me is a joke read that I didn't actually believe in oh noooooooooo
One post in the thread isn't much of "works". What's your read on Nanook?
You too should be doing more. Anyways, with this post I think I'm at a combined 54 posts remaining with my partner for the day, and I need to finish my geology project, so I think I'll head out for the night unless someone does something ridiculously scummy.

I don't plan on voting anybody else for as long as he still has a self voteLime Coke wrote: ↑Tue Nov 23, 2021 12:55 amGlad we're on the same page here regarding this, and no, it's not a 1 time deal because he basically gamethrew Fortune of Lies as well. It's best to vig him or get him dead by any means necessary and never let him end game.ilario wrote: ↑Tue Nov 23, 2021 12:51 amBelieve me, I was. But I held back because I wanted to conserve posts and because I was suspicious of your early tr on me in the last two turbos we played, so I ignored it and figured maybe your confidence in getting me right so early in those games carried over to how you’re reading me here.staypositivefriend wrote: ↑Tue Nov 23, 2021 12:23 am the fact that illario was not immediately suspicious of the fact that he is one of my strongest townreads is probably the scummiest thing about him so far, but i refuse to expect our meta dynamic to play out in the exact same way every game. i'm going to #BreakTheCycle
Also to make sure this isn’t a total waste of a post I’m gonna post something now that I didn’t intend to plan on posting so early for thread health reasons but I may as well make this post count.
If town can’t find a elim we all agree on today we don’t shrugyeet a low poster, we yeet NAA. If there’s a vig in this setup and you’re unsure who to shoot, you shoot NAA. To explain why, I played one game with him and in that game:
-he antagonized the entire lobby
-shut down the town leaders due to his own personal reasons that weren’t game related
-forced a poe on everyone to follow that had 90% town in it
- refuses to explain a single read in his horrible poe
- scumread people for trying to question that terrible poe
- tried to speed up days by getting town speedyeeted for no reason
- after he finished doing all that he cemented his game throwing ways by self voting in lylo and letting mafia blitz him.
I thought maybe he was just having a bad time outside of the game and maybe that translated into his play that game and that was a one off for him bad game for him But I get a sinking feeling that’s not the case. Essentially what I’m saying is idc about his alignment, it’s always +ev to get rid of him if he refuses to work with the lobby before he gets a chance to hold the thread hostage like he did last time and I STRONGLY encourage any vig to shoot him because of it.
To quote Mikey:
I didn't vote for the self-voter in that game and that's a mistake I won't repeat again.

If she's outed mafia, why are you still voting the falcon guy? Your push on JJJ hasn't been any more inspiring to me
Anyway, the EM meta stuff is pretty meaningless to me as I've never played there. Not sure how to feel about the SPF wagon already getting three votes, I townread iaffr but am not entirely sure on anne.

Re: Philosophy Mafia 2: Electric Boogaloo
Checking in again after doing some work on a geology project. Of the people who have been active so far, I don't see anyone that's too scummy - the one person I'm unsure of is Nanook, as many of his posts are not contributing and he seems determined to hit is post limit early, but my main concern is that I have no idea why he's still voting a player who hasn't even showed despite his open suspicion of JJJ. I also don't really like SPF's entrance, they aren't commenting on anything and I'd like to see them actually contribute.
Anyway, I feel cassandra is likely town as I like their progression, LC, JJJ, and nutella are lean town and I still townread iaafr from earlier. It's worth noting that a significant amount of players have yet to make significant contributions.
