Television often bores me, so I have enjoyed the TripeHaven-Moonwink Theater Production that showed early on this evening. Quite lovely.

We're trying! Always here for other people's entertainment.

what's your experience, read accuracy, and strengths/weaknesses as mafia and town @Spacedaisy @Epignosis

I’m better mafia than town because everyone thinks I’m suspicious all the time anyway. The way I think about things tends to not be like most people so what is just my normal suspicions don’t make sense to others. For the first year I played I was almost always killed but the civ vig when I was town. So I don’t think my read accuracy is much to write home about. I think I can take my town meta pretty easily as mafia though so I don’t know how much that helps you. I’ll look up a couple meta game examples for you in a minute.

I am more of an intuitive player, if the posts get crazy out of hand, I will struggle to keep up. I will never reach that 100 post cap. Also, I’m a slow starter. It takes me a minute to get my feet under me, but my activity increases as we go because I gain confidence. Not much of a shit poster.

What do you want to know about when you ask what my experience is? How long I’ve been playing?

I think I can fake

Day 1 is Racket Appreciation Day, and as such will have a 100 post cap. Anyone exceeding this cap will be met with intentionally ambiguous harsh consequences.

There will be an event at approximately the halfway point of the day (exaxt time tbd). Discord is required, it will be fairly short, and it will be fun. Keep an eye on the announcement channel in discord for more info when it is available.


Day ends at 6pm eastern November 15!

I missed this, o

I have a BA in English Language and Literature. I retired from teaching this year after twelve years in the field.

Strengths as mafia? I don't snitch.

Weaknesses as mafia? Never saw any of the Godfather or Scarface movies.

Strengths as town? I taught school for twelve years, as mentioned, thereby strengthening the town.

Weaknesses as town? The ever-increasingly complicated federal tax code.

I’m not sure the exact number. Probably somewhere in the 15 year range give or take. I started at Lostpedia, then played at The Piano, then Tangy and I started the Syndicate. That’s my mafia history in a nutshell.

Greater Idea Burglary is probably my Civ win I am most proud of.

Death Note Mafia is my mafia win I’m most proud of.

Quoted the wrong post lol. I meant to quote the one where you asked my experience.

Votes changeable?

To hell with it. Let's see.

KAMI!!!!

To be clear I am at a conference and will not, in true TSP fashion, be able to play the game as actively as I otherwise would. This should not be taken as an indication that I am automatically lock town

Epi I learned a lot about formulating reads from you and based on this and Bayesian stuff I’m gonna tell you that I sorta expect your read on Moonwink to be wrong (I have read zero moonwink posts)

Trust the read on TH though

This is a great playerlist

wow Rico’s here

Catching me eye from one read thought:

lucy inquiring a lot of people on their meta.
Moonwink and Epignosis evasive on this inquire

Epignosis familiar, can perhaps chalk it up to standard banter.
Haven't played with either lucy or Moonwink though, is this generic or town-lean play from them?

Epignosis wrote: ↑Sat Nov 12, 2022 11:47 pm Who thinks TripleHaven and Moonwink are phonies right off the bat?

Interested in Moonwink.
Don't think TSP posted anything besides banter and that "spacedaisy v" comment that I don't get what it means.

What's your take?

I messed up TSP with TripleHaven somehow, whoops.

kinda interested in epi not snapping at Lucy

For me, the subtext of the ruling is rather that "only votes cast in poll count". I'm inclined to announce my vote, even if not necessary. Would be inclined to question votes cast directly in the poll (without reasoning), so a post would be used up for that anyway.

Why or how would he have snapped at her?

First time playing with Dolby as well. Seems to boast and then confirm lowpost approach. Is lowposting standard from him?

[VOTE: Dolby] aubergine

I'm also making the terrible decision of trusting moonwink for today after some amount of over-thinking

don't feel like I have anything else to say atm other than re-iterating my activity for D1 will be fairly low; expect practically no activity from me once it goes beyond 24 hours from now. D2+ should be much better.

@Ricochet me asking players the same question, I can give u more links to sate you if u want

oh and

I probably don't touch TripleHaven for awhile in this game; last game I had with them suggested I had some very wrong ideas on how to read them

what's your experience, read accuracy, and strengths/weaknesses as mafia and town @TonyStarkPrime @Ricochet @MartinGG99 @Jackofhearts2005

so many new faces

I've played with you twice jack, but like, I've never actually played with you before

lucy wrote: ↑Sun Nov 13, 2022 3:26 am what's your experience, read accuracy, and strengths/weaknesses as mafia and town @TonyStarkPrime @Ricochet @MartinGG99 @Jackofhearts2005

experience is prob somewhere around 40-50ish games across 2.5 years

strengths/weaknesses I can't really say, feels like I'm always changing ever so slightly from game to game

so what I will say is that a player I have played a lot with said recently that when I learn to trust my gut I will be "insane"

so I suspect I have a capacity to have a strong/good sense of things as town

thing is....that sense has not always been applied well lol (in one case even causing an unintentional gamethrow by my part entirely D:) and it has been in active development as of late

Oh and I have a heavy tendency toward in-depth thought and occasionally I will word such thoughts in a manner that renders it incomprehensible to anyone but me

I have not played mafia in three or four years and no plans beyond this game.
Usual MO was to post a lot, play serious, try to win. My mafia quality used to be hecking cool and sometimes get caught. My town quality was to be pisspoor and lose.
Read strengths usually bit shit.
Last year of playing I just chaos'd and dgaf'd - which I don't plan for this game, given its anniversary occasion.

What did you over-think over Moonwink about?

well last/only time I played with them I was hesitant on town reading them but was correct when I did

thing is large part of what I town-read them for back then, they're kinda doing a fair amount this game as if its just natural to them regardless of alignment

but I found something new that I feel points to town, and I'm not going to elaborate on my thoughts beyond that for now

Hello Mikami.

Ricochet wrote: ↑Sun Nov 13, 2022 6:22 am I don’t remember a single thing from participating in Greater Mafia.

I called it my proudest civ win, but honestly it is less pride and just that is the only game that stands out in my mind where my instincts were spot on, particularly with Elo. I think that in regular games where there is a couple days to talk things over and over and over, it really gives me too much time to waffle and lose confidence.

Hello.

I'm not going to go too hard into self meta but tldr

i lean a lot into early snap reads and they tend to be relatively accurate (probably more than you'd think).

In general, wolves have a harder time arguing their points from a town perspective, which is why i V read this post.
