Aspiring Rapper's MAFIA- Game Thread

[Glossysushi]

I do agree that I am pingy, I disagree on me/cuth being a w/w team. Would be an extremely bold move, and I don't really have history with that, unless I'm sure pulling off such a move = win.

Fair enough.

What do you think about the green knight guy? What about Jarrema?

 

[Cuthillius]

Had a brief wolf ping on Mat, but then I went to take a shower and I forgot what it was. The interaction between Mat and Cuth has me feeling better about Mat and worse about Cuth. IIRC, Cuth is usually similar in playstyle to a lot of the other players here, and the fact that he's seamlessly slipped into MU mode is making a lot of what he says and does seem disingenuous.

So I seem scummy because my playstyle has changed?

Spoiler :

UNVOTE LASSIE

Him not being Alette/Penny-Lassie scraps everything I thought I had/means I have almost nothing worth noting on this slot. Need a re-read with Penny-Lassie out of my head and a closer look at what actually happened here.
@Lassie
- Why didn't you just come forward and clear up the confusion before Glossy tipped you out?/What, if anything, did you take-away from the act?
@Sooh / @Visor
- Did you actually already know this Lassie wasn't Alette?

Not sure what to make of the Visor-Glossy thread domination thus far but FWIW Glossy's first post/intro to the thread is very similar to the game I just finished with her where she was wolf. ISO here. The recent chain-quote posts are also similar IMO. She's notably more aggressive/less subtle here beyond that so ?difference in alignment/intentional difference/null? Her attitude is also different - I haven't seen her anywhere this snarky in the games I've read. FoS for the generalised FoSes/pushing and the fact I'm not convinced she's actually interested in working out alignments over pushing FoS.
@Lenny
Link me to a solo-you Town game pls?

I was/am on the fence about Visor. TBH I don't really care about the lolling/gifs. The timing of them makes them pretty null imo. Sticking points for me are:
- the way he dragged me into the "we're scum" discussion out of nowhere/didn't let it drop/continued the thing for so long; and
- the fact his switch in style follows pressure.
Other than that, I agree with his later push on GS/calling her out for the against him being aggressive yet weak. Recent posts/observations look good on the surface. Watching closely but I have no meta for comparison/need more here.
@Visor
Can you link to games where you played jokey as Scum and Town?


Gun to head, current leans:

Townish
Kenningit - Like his initial vote on Arakhor and the reason with it/compounded later on in #242. Liked reply #127.
Zack - Like his tone and especially lack of read fabrication in #238.

?Scummy
Glossy
Newyn
Arakhor

I've only been scum in the games you've read, iirc. Links have been provided.

Why are you not convinced that I'm actually trying to work out alignments?

I like this post of yours, but why are you less on the fence about me if you haven't seen any of my town games, and are still on the fence about visor without knowing much about his games?

 

[Lassie]

Why would I play along with it? If you were Alette, I'd feel more confident about my read of you.

As town you'd might be interested to see if I would reveal it myself, how and why, if/when I did. Or to see if someone of Cass, Visor and Cuth would realize I'm obviously not Alette, which I'd argue would look good for the one(s) who managed to, as it would give a hint of actually trying to solve me, which would be towny.

 

[Mat93]

Fair enough.

What do you think about the green knight guy? What about Jarrema?

By green knight you mean golden knight? Have they posted? If so, I missed it, so completely neutral.

Jarrema is a difficult one. I can see his vote being right, being misguided, or being scum. I lean towards misguided at this point. The interaction between him and Visor is worth noting though. Visor has a habit of reading Jarrema extremely well, and Jarrema reads Visor wrong more often than not (I'm fairly sure on this).

Slight scum lean, but I wouldn't personally lynch (if it was just my choice) today. Then again, there are worse targets (Visor, IMO).

 

[Glossysushi]

Sushi, when you get back I'd like to hear your view on what I was doing in Mel Gibson. Describe my play, and show how it's similar to this game.

Working on this.

Sorry, meant King Morgan. He has a green avatar, and for some reason I thought he was a knight.

Most people tend to associate Lassie with Alette, especially since I'm in this game.

How would it be towny for someone to 'solve who you are'? Most people will take your word for it.

I wouldn't let someone pollute Alette's meta. If she played like this, I'd have a conniption.

 

[Arakhor]

So much for a low-content game...

my opinion. Unlike Lassie, I felt Arakhor's post was a flinch for no reason at all, not a calm response.

How was that a flinch? You thought I didn't really care where these new players came from and I agreed with you.

Arakhor and Lassie are never w/w.

What is w/w (and v/v)? I don't recognise either the phrase or you, for that matter, so I wonder how you are in a position to posit that about me.

This is a really interesting post. I think scum makes it more than town in this situation.

It's a statement of fact. I do that a lot of the time.

I wonder why there's no response to the vote? Unless this is the response. Arakhor looking too calm, imo.

It's Day One and mostly spurious voting. Why would I start chewing the scenery?

Visor frequently thinks that everyone is scummy and then often changes his mind. As for my 'meta', which I think is a daft phrase, I often say very little at the start of the game and then increase my posting up until my inevitable demise.

 

[Glossysushi]

@Mat93: So if Visor continues to read Jarrema as town, would you change your scum lean?

 

[Arakhor]

As an addendum, if you're generating more ham than Brian Blessed and Jeremy Irons in a butcher's shop, then you're either ATPG or you're doing it wrong.

1. What is w/w (and v/v)? I don't recognise either the phrase or you, for that matter, so I wonder how you are in a position to posit that about me.



2. It's a statement of fact. I do that a lot of the time.

4. Visor frequently thinks that everyone is scummy and then often changes his mind. As for my 'meta', which I think is a daft phrase, I often say very little at the start of the game and then increase my posting up until my inevitable demise.

1. It's a read of you, or more specifically, a read of an interaction. W/w = wolf/wolf (teamed scum). V/v = villager/villager (both town). I'm pretty sure I'm in a place to read you or your interactions... After all, I'm playing this game. That's my job.

2. Alright. Why did you feel that it was necessary to say?

3. Chewing or getting mad is more often a villager response than not. Staying calm afaict is rarer for villagers under pressure.

4. What is your opinion of Visor? Is he scum for reading you as such, or town?

 

[Glossysushi]

As an addendum, if you're generating more ham than Brian Blessed and Jeremy Irons in a butcher's shop, then you're either ATPG or you're doing it wrong.

I did just finish a game with him a while ago. He still posts more. Novels. Essays. I don't do that. Your point?

 

[Mat93]

Sorry, meant King Morgan. He has a green avatar, and for some reason I thought he was a knight.

I'm very much on the fence here. Anyone else, i'd be scum leaning. But he has a habit of doing such actions, even as town. I have a null-lean so far.

@Mat93: So if Visor continues to read Jarrema as town, would you change your scum lean?

If he stated with conviction of such, I would consider him townie-lean, but not town-lock.

 

[Lassie]

Most people tend to associate Lassie with Alette, especially since I'm in this game.

How would it be towny for someone to 'solve who you are'? Most people will take your word for it.

I wouldn't let someone pollute Alette's meta. If she played like this, I'd have a conniption.

Obviously I would had revealed it myself at some point - I have enough confidence in my own play that I wouldn't give credit away

If someone manged to figure out that I'm not Alette, although originally believing that I was, it would give a hint that they are actually reading my posts closely, putting consideration into the posts they see from me, which is towny.

I've seen Scott Howard take use of that before, when he played from new profiles on MU(Bub + Boo Radley), where it wasn't everyone noticing it was him.

 

[Zack]

Good morning friends.

unvote: Visor. His behavior isn't at all scummy to me anymore.

I somewhat disagree with the apparent consensus about BL. The post struck me as slightly odd, but BL's the type to always want to be a little unpredictable. Lynching him this early on would be a mistake.

I'm feeling worst about Al Sips. Call it slightly hypocritical of me, but his vote on Visor feels way too contrived. vote:Al Sips

Sensing the winds of change and sliding into a more popular opinion? Visor's been pretty consistent, I'd like more of an explanation on what exactly changed your view of him that's more in-depth than "it's not scummy anymore". Especially with that opening line, good morning pleasant and intelligent associate sirs, seems like you're trying hard to get on the good side of the most active posters.

You let up to easily IMO. Make people vote and get actual weight that can be analyzed

Yeah, I agree. Getting a few bandwagons going is ideal for Day 1, doesn't really matter on who. What matters is that people will have to choose one over the other(s), and that choice can be meaningful for later analysis. Any reads at this stage have a huge margin of error. A lot of scum tend to lurk around until the end of the day before actually placing a vote, and forcing them to make their vote have a meaningful impact in the lynch is huge.

That said, my bandwagon is the best and everyone should join it.

The people who are posting right now and thus likely to tell you anything are all being scumread by multiple people.

But come on, cfc has very few ppp. 27 pages really isn't that bad, and it's okay if you skim a little.
