A few thoughts, not necessarily in any logical order.
- I see that this thread is going to be one that moves fast. This will make it harder for me to keep up, fwiw.
- I am old. Well, not old in the grandpa sense, but old for an internet forum. I have three elementary aged kids, a wife, a house and a full time job. I normally post from work, but I am leading a huge project that has a major milestone in four weeks. Bottom line is that I will not be online all that much.
- Experience in Mafia has nothing to do with how many posts you have in a game. It has everything to do with the number of games played and your winning percentages. Since we are all talking about this I have played 72 games over 5 years at CFC with a .563 winning average. I have probably played two dozen or so games here on the Org.
- Along with the above point: Talk is cheap. Actions are where the value is. A player with a single post in a phase could have way more impact to the game than one with 50 posts. Good players will not show themselves by words alone. It is their actions that will expose them.
- On D1 everyone is scum. Unless you are a mason, which I am, but not in this game.
Enough theory, let’s get to the game:
- Al will always vote for me when he has the chance, especially on D1. I should really remember that and just begin to vote him too. It would save on trying to be cute with D1 votes.
- Barto is being Barto. Generally when he is scummy he is town, but he is a good enough of a player that you never really know.
- Visor is quite prone to absolute solid pronouncements of guilt or innocence that literally have nothing behind them and are always subject to change – especially on D1.
- My D1 vote was cute, but in a semi-serious kind of way. It was a joke vote for the poster who posted above me, yet it also kinda fit the narrative of the thread at the time. CrimsonFox was also screaming for more pressure, so I obliged.
- CrimsonFox is quite jumpy. I don’t know if this is his meta, but it certainly doesn’t lead me to want to change my vote (had I been online that is).
- His vig claim is also quite suspicious. Even in a fast paced game that can change at a moment, the timing of his claim is all off. The momentum at the time was not in his direction, but rather away from him. This is not the time to claim vig, as all it will do is put a big target on his back (assuming it is true) and draw away any doctor that might be out there. Said doctor could possibly be caught out by a tracker/watcher drawn to the attention like a moth to a flame. It is also something that is terribly hard to prove in thread, especially in a game like this where we can’t talk privately. It just seems like a massive flinch to me. Remember, actions speak louder than words. This one post by him is worth more than the rest of his numerous posts this phase.
- What was even the case on my wagon?
- It is also amazing how fast my wagon dissolved, and how very little commentary has been had on the subject since spaceman’s reveal, even though a lot of other attention has been given to the other wagons.
