Mini Normal 2327: Bird Species (Game Over)

[Hu Tao]

BTW, is there anything we deduce from the text on Snowy Owl?
3 threats (human activity, climate change, decline in species they hunt) = 3 scums?
Or based on your experience here it's just a text with no hints?

Nice to meet you, Snow. Glad to see you got a green pm

OMGUS failure from Black

more evidence to lim her

[Hu Tao]

D1 threadplays are worthless.

VOTE: Black

What's thread play mean

[Hu Tao]

My take on the black vote so far. In the only game I've played with scum black she was sus from the beginning and something felt off. I don't sense that so far. Not saying i think she's town or anything but I don't scumread her so far.

[Hu Tao]

I think cakes vote seemed weird though. And nurses post seemed forced that I quoted. I'm fine with either of them being the elimination so far

[Hu Tao]

I think snow is newbie town from her posts so far

[shaddowez]

Can I be newbie town too?

No

Will we have a morning newspaper/description with night events or smth like that? Or just "X is dead".

It depends on the mod, but I for one hope that we get some carrion bird facts at least

Is this just a way of saying you don't like RVS?

What do you find weird about the cakes vote? Do you still think that in context of their interactions?

How familiar are you with the game of mafia? Like besides this site?

Just that he says he's sheeping gob, but gobs vote really was just based off past experiences not this game

[Snow2697]

My take on this. Don't know players here. See 4 votes vs Black and 2 votes vs Got. Don't think that previous games or bad feelings are valid elimination reasons. Even if one lost a game before, let's respect scum game. Look, we all will be scums at some point.
So, not ready to vote vs Black due to this. But I accept that sometimes players vote or take other steps at game start based on previous games. May be I am guilty for this too!
See a couple of other conflicts, but cannot take side in those. Tend to vote for "no elimination".

Hello everyone

Used to play classic face-to-face mafia (10 persons). Liked it, but could not afford late night parties. Played around 5 forum mafia games recently with different rules and set-up.

First impressions on what happened so far.

I feel like the manner Gob has gone about the early game feels fairly aggressive in a manner that I wouldn't expect to come from scum this early into the day. I don't really agree with his rationale for limming Black here (at least on the base level of "policy lim" probs going to read through Black again afterwards to clarify my thoughts there).

Think so far I feel the worst about Nurse. From what I know of him they can be pretty aggressive at times in tone but their exchange with STD feels like there is a defensive undertone underneath there that's pinging me at the moment

Any consensus on the expected number of Scum members this game?

count the number of names in your pm

And what did you think you'd gain from your weak attempt at casting shade at me, STD?

I want you to explain your intention.

Fine.

We'll see how much it was "just a joke" as the this Day wears on.

VOTE: Random Nurse

My brain also pinged a slight bit at NotaScum's vote on 94 due to its position on the wagon and for being a bit of a sheep vote, but I realized it's not really fair to isolate it due to other votes on the wagon feeeling similar.

In general it's worse for town to no-eliminate.

This is probs not the best explanation as to why, but think of the elimination as a town-controlled killing source. Scum have the ability to kill players during the night eliminating from the game and getting them one step closer to winning by doing so. Given that most of us here are town the elimination serves as a way to counter scum night-kills given that the town can generally agree on who scum is. Therefore it's going to be a bad idea to forgo that in most situations as town.

Also feel free to correct the above if I botch the explanation here

Ok, so I did a quick skim of Black's ISO so far and I can see Ari's point about Black's 36 being TMI, but I think I vibe with their 96 as a response. To me it feels like an undertone thing that could just as feasibly feel town, something to keep an eye on but probs NAI on it's own imo. Didn't really otherwise get pinged from their ISO at all besides liking 78 so would probs say they feel nullish (slight null town?) right now.

Right, but this is now an overly random voting (at least for me). I have never played a forum mafia game where people voted before night 1. Hope we will have more date at day 2.
