Open 901 - Normal Idea Mafia Redux - Postgame

[Invisibility]

I have not been that motivated for this game honestlay. Perhaps it was not my time to return to mafia but whatevs I'll survive unless I die

[Not_Mafia]

Why is Argonauts the leading wagon?

[Roden]

So you can hammer them

[shaddowez]

I still like where my vote is. Invisibility showed up after I voted them, and their catch up felt like more of a "Oops, have to do something. I'm busy most of the day, but will do another read through and post more thoughts this afternoon.

VOTE: Lucca

Read through the ISO (I’m learning yall) and his play seems to mirror mine in last game I was mafia. Not really jumping on anything, calling players for town but not mafia, defending a little too hard, etc

I’m not locked in but I feel better about this than I do about jumping on the Argo wagon

Still not a fan of Skygazer but this wagon seems more viable. I don't really want to eliminate Argonauts - their claim + their posting today seemed town and I don't like that they've been basically the only sticky wagon all day.

[SirCakez]

I'm also suspicious of Hu Tao. They have done very little today except for push Not Mafia which is not exactly giving me town vibes.

Was liking Jacob 100% for town before he used the word ISO

it tells me he's totally capable of acting dumb around the setup to feel newtown because he has probably lurked heavily around the site tbh

Dragon is safe.. for now.

[lucca261]

I don't see the Argo stuff also and feel like it's a confortable wagon for scum to be in D1

people are always down to vote the cryptic fluff-y hydra and with a slow D1 as today is I expect to scum to be using this wagon to skate pressure

UNVOTE:

@348. @Roden. Why are all your posts on the thread weirdly indirecting accusing someone or throwing NAI questions?

That's somehow both a diminutive and exaggerated accusation there

Actually, you're right. I had misread @270. That was the basis for my argument because I'd read it the opposite way

sorry mate

[Black]

lucca feels super townie to me

@Shaddow. Can see where you're coming from now. Actually agree on the Mucho read.
My read on the slot is that Macho was trying to use the Randy Savage character to post unsubstancial reads and out-of-the-blue game advancing content while using the gimmick to justify the lack of reasoning.

@58, 130 and 269 in particular.
she's so crazy love her 80's/90's wrestler style

------------------

also concerned that 90% of Invisibility content is talking about Not_Mafia when NM has been doing nothing since like page 7
the "My worldview is based around Not_Mafia" on @459 is weird for me based around on how detached Invi is from the game

like it kinda tells me he was worried about how people would read his catch-up? (not necessarily something only scum would be worried about, but given how detached he feels...)

------------------

@544
isn't this post kinda weird

I don't see how you can come to this conclusion about the a new player asking to be caught up at all specially on a game so devoid of activity

[Argonauts]

Eh, I picked up on what an ISO was pretty quickly. If he were to keep acting clueless afterwards I could maybe see this, but if it was an act I think he'd be more likely to keep it up like "guys, what's an ISO?" rather than just adopting its use.

[lucca261]

Not saying he's scum for that, just that I'd read his entrance and assumed he was town from the indifference/lack of thought about the setup, unlikely if he replaces in and learns he's newscum.

But seeing that he's confortable using game terms and learning that he's not a total newbie in regards to forum mafia shows he can pull the "ehh, not too sure about the setup" gambit with ease, so townpoints retracted.

Aureal do you townread Jacob/Macho Man? This is like the 3rd time you've defended the slot

[Argonauts]

I have? I'm not sure I recall talking about it at all other than randomly voting there at the start of the game because the name annoyed me x_x

-Atalanta

[Black]

Maybe it was just twice. You defended Macho Man when Jackson was saying they were scummy for neutral hunting and now you seem to be defending Jacob

I don't really think it's scummy of you but it's just something I noticed. I'm curious what your read on the slot is

[Jacob24]

I agree with you on this actually. Seems odd to defend me in such a manner right as I enter. At that point it would have made more sense to base my orientation based on my predecessor's actions.

[Argonauts]

Idk, I feel like if I did a readlist it'd probably be in the lower half. I just didn't get/agree with those points against the slot.

Like, how do you even hunt for a SK anyway?? There's no associations to look at. All you could really do would be hope they're faking a read to keep a certain positioning in the game, like Aisa did to me recently.

That makes sense

My past forum games have all been run with custom roles (smaller community so we don't have these crazy setups) so the deck thing threw me a bit. Wasn't trying to pull any gambits with y'all although if I was mafia I definitely would be playing a lot dumber.

Same thing, I would play dumber as mafia. I can promise I haven't snooped around the site much at all, made my account same day I found it.

Your defensiveness makes me think you could be scum but your questions are good so I'm torn.

[Black]

I have no clue how to play around an SK. This is my first time playing with one

[Jacob24]

Statistically speaking, Cakez and Argo would be somewhat more suspicious than average due to their miller claims.

Could totally be town, but just from a logical standpoint, they stand out a bit.

Keeping my vote on Lucca right now but not trying to start a train
