Mafia of Revelations ~ Game Over!

[xRECKONERx]

You forgot LOL

[Auro]

I thought that was common back in 2010, I read that Oxford Dictionary added it in 2011 But here you go anyway:

LOL - Laughing out loud
LOOOOOL - Laughing ooooooooout loud (when you want someone to

really

know you're laughing)
LMAO - Laughing my ass off
ROFLMAO - Rolling on the floor laughing my ass off
LMFAO - Laughing my f$!@ing ass off
Lul - Phonetically stylish variant of LOL

Also some others I missed out:
ATM - At the moment
RN - Right now
CBF/CBA - Can't be f@!#ed/arsed
STFU - Shut the f@$! up
BFF - Best friend forever (look out for Mason crumbs with this abbreviation!! )
AMA - Ask me anything
IDGAF - I don't give a f!#@
AFK - Away from keyboard (as in not gonna be present for a little bit)
BRB - Be right back

[Morning Tweet]

ABR and Agar and MT are scum; the ABR-MT alliance should be called the half-scumteam alliance.
Blair is town. I kneejerked Baltar as town but he is probably scum too.
Everyone else is town enough so I think we win now.
Well, assuming 13-4.
VOTE: Albert B. Rampage

[Morning Tweet]

oops i didn't mean to spam farside's picture all over the thread. i suppose it works out though in the grand scheme of things

I'm never scum. This is well known.

weren't you scum like a day ago in noughts and crosses? and

gasp

you're voting hoopla! you're treading on thin ice here!!

I think you will find upon review of the game in question that I demonstrated beyond reasonable doubt that Maxwell and T-Bone were scum in Noughts and Crosses and promptly surrendered in abject terror of my scumhunting prowess.

i was really impressed by you in that game, i even want to believe that it was them. it seemed kind of unfortunate you were forced to play around the board mechanic, i felt like you'd have won that if it weren't for how the board was set up which basically locked you into getting max lynched or kinda just losing

Can you explain why you think those 3 are scum?

Hello! I've heard of a lot of names on this list

As a representative of the "young blood" on this site I feel somewhat obliged to catch y'all up to the latest site meta.

Not too long ago, we discovered that Day 1 scum lynches actually lead to more town losses than town lynches! While it's counter-intuitive, it's been speculated that perhaps town cannot carry the same momentum after the first lynch, and it's harder to catch smaller numbers of scum. The obvious trend then was to lynch townsfolk instead... but someone eventually did point out that it's silly to lose a townsfolk just to increase town's chances of a win. There was a clever solution hiding in plain sight though, which would require no town death...

VOTE: No Lynch

I know jigsaw game we lynched scum day 1 and it went downhill from there, but how does a no lynch help give any info?

ABR's ISO reads like statement of fact -> alliance a buddy -> highly impersonal accusation. Scum like doing all of these things.
Statements of fact feel safe and impersonal accusations feel safe and scum want to feel safe.
Alliancing / early accusations are common motions; scum usually go through common motions rather than exploring.

Scum have trouble evenly mixing interactions with other scum to interactions with town.
Players chatted up or voted by scum at dawn on the first day are therefore more likely to be scum than anyone else.
This applies to Baltar who also has an awkward are-you-scum-welcome, MT with content-free cutification and Agar who did 'vote -> briefly talk to buddy about nothing -> leave for a while.'
I don't like MT's reaction to being caught either.

Auro showed up with a purely distracting composed statement of 'fact' as well, then stuck to it instead of doing anything useful.
Will review a couple of their other games at some point to see if they are a refuge-type.

[Llamarble]

Farside is probably town for trying to understand.

[Hoopla]

Scum have trouble evenly mixing interactions with other scum to interactions with town.

yes, simulating randomness is tricky business. when it comes to distancing, it's always too much or not enough. hard to spot before flips, though.

ok, enough theory chat. a question:

why pontificate about 5+ players alignments in your posts, when the most interesting and alignment-indicative post that's happened so far is porkens' post 50. no commentary on that?

[Auro]

Alliancing

Hoopla I'll unvote u if u form an alliance with me

Morning Tweet and I have formed an alliance, Albert and Morning Tweet have formed a separate alliance, trilateral negotiations underway to consolidate our two empires

So, Mr Llama, why is CantLynchAPuppy not interesting enough for a mention?

The CLAP posts are more natural.
Once upon a time that might have been townish, but people learned to fake insufferable long ago, and are particularly likely to at the beginning.

I am iffy on the rules around role-PM discussions but 'town for bothering to go there' seems about right. There are alternative explanations but they're worse.

Ok I'm rushing this post before my phone dies but

Vote ABR

I feel like he's forcing himself into the alliance. I also don't like farside and Starbuck pushing the "I'm cute" thing. Auto seems to be trying too hard to play up being new but I'm not sure there's really an advantage to it because it's not the VI card. And Porkens' is likely town for the role PM thing. Hoopla also looks town.

I see I will being doing a lot of this, this game:

I'm taking a lot of these pages as NAI. People look excited to be playing and I know I'm happy to see people I haven't played with in awhile. Also I have seen games where players look to create bonds early but it is scum and town that do it, so I'm not taking much of it seriously.
Adds llama to town list.

How is ABR forcing into an alliance? He was the first player to suggest an alliance here.
Where do you see Auro trying to play up being new?
