Rise of The Snake Cult [Concluded]

[Cass_]

Just want to be helpful, I just can't keep up. It's like y'all know rules and strategies I haven't heard of so I'm learning.

Gonna start with this cos I know I'm feeling ruffled, potentially in pretty much the same way. D2 ran away from me too quickly and being busy IRL doesn't help. In most cases I'm willing to give behaviour like this an early pass because I have this exact trouble. Zain, how much mafia have you played? (It might help me understand you more if I knew more about your meta).

Oh dear, I need to get my head in this game.

Here is a compilation of seireikhaan's posts for convenience.

DAY 1



Might slant me towards believing GH is town since there is no real reason to draw associations with your fellow mafia.



Pretty meaningless response.



(Barto had just voted GH)

I would say this is basically just playing into normal meta, although again no real reason to think he would do this towards fellow mafia without need, especially since all the votes were so close on day 1.



I find it hard to believe he would be having this conversation with fellow mafia, so I'm inclined to trust cass.



I would say this is just a meta post.



Again, I would say this is basically meta. It just feels too blatant to be a bluff against either GH or El Barto




This is probably the most interesting post to me. While it is, in and of itself, a fair point, I just don't see the reason to stick your neck out like this as mafia. Until this point all of seireikhaan's posts have been very insubstantial, so why suddenly throw yourself into a debate? It just makes your name more visible. While it could be that he simply felt he needed to look more active, I'm inclined to think this may have been provoked by something.

That Scarlett was gotten rid of tonight is probably just because she was a clear innocent after this post.

As such, I'm wanting to look more closely at Al Sipsclar for the time being. I'm going to go through the thread more closely again, but I might as well stick this here for now.

I liked this post. The only thing I disagree with is that I didn't really have Scarlett fully clear for this. It's a bad habit carried over from my first game with her - Sorry Miyu! :P :P

@Nightbringer, did you get a chance to figure anything further out? How does Al Sips look to you now?

Also, this is a great characterization of my usual activity in mafia games for a while now, although i do tend to get much more active once there are less people around. I tend to find the early game a bit overwhelming.

I tend to find this entire game overwhelming... but fun when I can keep up! Thanks for the meta - it's hard being new...

1. Jarema
2. GeneralHankerchief
3. Golden1Knight
4. Cuthillius
6. Zain
7. landlubber
8. edse
10. Raith Kemmler
12. El Barto
13. Al Sipsclar
14. Winston Hughes
15. Nightbringer
16. Autolycus
17. Cass
18. Johnhughthom
19. Severing viper

16 people left. The four that voted for Khaan are probably not mafia. I'm not mafia.

The first day Khaan made an early joke vote.

Later, when GH was tied for the lead, he changed it.


That's good enough for me at the moment Vote: GeneralHankerchief

I pretty much agree, but why you have to cross everybody's name out so soon? I feel like I'm already dead :( :( :( At least things clear up when I die :D Sorry. Brain farts. When does your poison kick in again?

I wouldn't say so, the flavor text does imply her death was in exchange for an important mafia role going down, but flavor is flavor, never wise to read into it unless the host says it might contain hints.

Also, hi, have a votecount:
GeneralHankerchief: edse, Jarema, Al Sipsclar
edse: autolycus
Zain: landlubber
johnhughthom: GeneralHankerchief
SeveringViper: Raith Kemmler (improper formatting)
Al Sipsclar: Zain

And a few questions:


What does this mean? What chart?



You never answered this, Al. Let me add that on your reads list not long before, you had Barto and Cuth among your slight town, for content and scumhunting, respectively, yet in the post quoted, you say you'll be fine with either being lynched? And what about your scum reads? You said this in reply to the post of Barto I quoted right before this, did that make him lose his town rank in your eyes? How/Why?


Did you do this and did you see anything you'd missed?



...? What does this mean? What prompted this?


You were answering Barto's question in Al's place, why? And why do you specifically answer about landlubber, the one person in that list who Al didn't read town?

And GH, you stand as the top lynch candidate, what do you have to say about that? Anyone you think should stand in your place? I understand you're voting jht because you feel he just takes up a spot?

TY for the vote count. I mostly liked this post, even though it kind of felt like #work. I need to go back and look at D1 votes and why everyone's voting GH again. I'm not necessarily against the lynch but I'm not sure it gives us much more information?

Vote: GH

BAYS.

Huh? Is this another meta thing I wouldn't get? Tbh, I'm probably willing to vote GH over my same earlier suspicions but since there's talk of lynching you too it might help if you explain.

Zain, for starters. Beyond him, Cuth, Nightbringer, and Severing Viper all strike me as more scummy than JHT.

I'm not sure what to make of this. Like I said, I kind of get where Zain's coming from. Have to look closer at JHT to comment on the rest.

…But Visor isn't playing.

Lol'd

I'll be fine with El Barto's lynch.
Also landlubber or Cuthillius.

Why? I have been mostly fine with your logic (and can even understand you not liking the difference in our play styles :P) but still have a similar view of El Barto as I did D1, although I'm wary.... The WIFOM is strong with this one. Is there something that I'm missing?

TBH my head's a mess right now. I'll try to vote before EoD but I'll be out on mobile trying to weigh things up as I go, but my vote will probably be last minute again :P

GLGL!
