Aspiring Rapper's MAFIA- Game Thread

[Glossysushi]

I think people should get avatars, wasn't a joke earlier. When half the people in the game don't have one, and all of the highest-posting ones at that, their posts blur together. When all I see are pages of no-avatars trading one-liners, makes it harder to hone in on one person and distinguish their posts from the rest. It makes it a lot easier to blend in and not stick out as much. Note that Visor had an avatar for a pretty long time right up until the game started.

I was kind of hoping that I'd reach whatever benchmark I needed for a custom avatar... I know nothing about civ. But eh, okay.

If you're asking for reads, there's basically zero meaningful data to go off of at this point.

Do you not read people off of openings? What about tone reads?

3-4 people who haven't posted yet

my opinion. Unlike Lassie, I felt Arakhor's post was a flinch for no reason at all, not a calm response. Glossysushi has ignored any non-wherever-you-people are from post except to selectively ask about Zack, doesn't really seem to actually be any effort to a game with 27 people yet demanding a bunch of folks to give reads

if he's in a red team, he seems selectively ignoring anyone that could be on his team from cfc

If you want to post relevant games, post games with 25-30 people that were roughly 5-6 mafia vs 25 town with few power roles

I will not read anything else

edit: made "5-6 mafia vs 30 town" to "5-6 mafia vs 25 town" because basic math

Also I hate the trend of painting anyone who makes a joke as scum. Mafia is a game, having fun shouldn't be so strongly discouraged.

This guy very likely town

Pretty sure that's not what I did?



It was only visor, was it not?

I rarely if ever reference something from Day 1 in a case. Openings are a crapshoot.

Not calling you out specifically, but I know there have been lots of times where bandwagons gained steam on me because I made more jokes than analyses.

 

[Glossysushi]

Agreed.

 

[Visorslash]

Avatar gained.

Jumping on the bandwagon, but I also agree somewhat with Kennigit on Arakhor.

@Zack

I think GS just wanted really badly to catch me as scum.

 

[Lassie]

But if the thread is 70% jokes, like this one, it kinda defeats the purpose of the game. If I were scum in this game, I wouldn't even care about a victory, as it would be too easy/random, when no one is putting in effort. As town, I feel it's a bit meh to try figure people out, when all they have is joke comments and thin to no actual reads, while that being an accepted meta.

... the game has JUST started. You know what you signed up for right? 72 hour day phases?

You're already saying some preachy nonsense like this on D1? You would not even care about victory because there's not enough heavy analysis in the game's first ten hours?

 

[Lassie]

I'm fully aware of that and I'm hoping to see a turn in activity and focus for the majority of players, but I doubt it'll reach a level I find satisfying.

I'm not selectively ignoring you or anyone else. I've been interacting in thread with people who are here at the moment. Since you showed up, we can talk.

 

[Kennigit]

>>makes softballing posts that mean nothing

"Well what are we supposed to do when everyone makes softballing posts that mean nothing"

Play hardball, not softball

for instance, since this game allows majority hammer lynch, I personally think it should be used early.

A day 1 plurality lynch when the scum team has a single voting block of 5-6 means little. They can purposefully scatter about. Some on their teammates, some on random votes, whatever.

Make some lines in the sand, that will help the most (for vanilla people like me on who to trust or who is grasping for straws when day 2 or 3 comes, and again when days like 6 come looking back on the entire thread)

 

[Takhisis]

Dem people what can only take 20 posts a page is weaklings, bro.

Of course I've considered the possibility. What's it to me? Town's goal should be to lynch any and all scum. Scum = Mafia and 3P alike. Don't understand why you think I think he's 'Mafia' specifically. Why is that?

Oh, you ain't graspin' the significance of Visorslash bein' a third party.

damedamedamedame-no rohurensuwarudo-chan!

Takhsis makes me want to put him through the wash. Really scummy.

Wi' only one post. What the deal, man?

I have an IQ of 13 000 thank you very much

Still damedamedamedamedamedamedame roh-chan.

Murska - super scummy first post, says "let's get to it" then proceeds to not post after, and the last line is giving me bad vibes "Reasoning so far seems a bit weak, but early aggression is necessary for results." <- related to knowing I'm town and feeling Lohrenswald most likely is too, as those votes on each other are probably what he has in mind.

Yo, Murska be postin' so late it be early in his parts o' da world.

Use the longship one.

On a CFC Day One?

I'm not requiring heavy analysis, I'm just hoping to see people actually play the game - the sooner the better. I mainly comment like I do, in hope it can create a change of course.

Also, it helps me clear myself as town, something that I'm good at

 

[Mat93]

I have read every post, I am not going to respond to every post.

Also I agree with the D1 isn't going to be high analysis, is going to be jokes and randomness sentiments.

And the people who say someone is very likely town because of a single analysis post on D1 (which by nature isn't going to be that detailed, as its D1), please explain your reasoning.

I'm off to find myself an avatar.

Where I come from, 72 hour phases are fairly active.

I like what Lassie is saying. What's wrong with it?
