Chess - Game Thread [Concluded]

[El Barto]

I really don't like Xiahou's vote on Zack on #729. I usually employ the O.M.G.U.S. algorithm on Day One, but that reads like trying to form a counterwaggon for Logic's benefit.

vote: Xiahou

[El Barto]

Firstly, I wouldn’t exactly describe my r actions towards logic and Barto tearing st their throats, but anyway, I feel that out of those 3, the lynch order should be Logic > Barto > Manasi, with manasi basically being my null benchmark at this point. Barto’s outright refusal to read the thread feels like a new level of anti-town behaviour from him, and I’m starting to agree with Pizza on Logic. However, I want to emphasise here that I am not entirely sure how to read logic, and so my vote is more sheeping than anything else. Could you elaborate as to what you mean by “Logic the round before his lynch”? Are you referring to a past game here? Or do you think logic is playling like this because he thinks he is going to get lynched? I really can’t parse your statement.

It's not an outright refusal; I said I might read it if/when I had the time. Which, having a 72-hour phase, isn't that much of a stretch.

I thought Reinoe's entrance was fine. Why didn't you like it?

Didn't he vote for me?

I'm bored with being townread.

Tell me why I'm scum.

'cos you voted for me.

Also, anyone who is riding the train of "Logic is scum here, because he is noticeably and explicitly different from XCOM mafia, where he was town."

Read Barto in that game, read Logic in that game. Read them both in this game.

There's a stark difference in one of them, and it's not Logic.

How did I behave in Day One in that game?

Convince me to vote Tak, Zack.

People refuse to read him, because he's barto. But it's not that hard.

In the CFC/MTGS game on MU, I defended him for days before finally giving up. He was town.

I don't remember the game it was, but he was worried with fixing votecounts or something while having zero interest in the actual thread. I called him out on it as being wolfy, and got a mixture of scorn and ambivalence.

In Sooh's last game, I called him out as a probable wolf again. He was scum. I barely escaped getting mislynche d1, and got immediately killed by the town vigilante.

In Representative Democracy, as my teammate, I was literally begging him in our scum chat to please, post and do something. He did nothing but occasionally pop in to complain about the number of posts and do not really anything, pretty much what he's done here.

Look at XCOM. How much time does he spend complaining about having to read the thread? Does he make thoughtless OMGUS votes then peace out?

Nope.

As a recipient of Barto's unique version of the welcoming committee and me getting a bug in my bonnet about it, he does feel different. I feel a demonstrable difference between Bart in Xcom as opposed to Logic in XCom. Unfortunately most of Logic's play has been off the back foot so even if I did sense a change in playstyle.

I agree with Monty in the sense that Logic feels like the "correct" lynch today, but illogical me would like to vote Bart here.

Anyway fatigue etc etc etc neither have been here defending themselves etc etc etc.

this post feels like a wolf prepping for a wolf flip

Alternate theory: the mafioso knows the two leading bandwaggons are on people not his faction. Thus he makes a post where he faffs about, muses a bit, and contradicts himself. When one flips town he will say he really should have gone with his conscience and votes the other one.

Zack is a bad vote.

Join me on GH.

Give me a bit more justification and I might bite. At worst we'll just have given him more time in which to prepare the fourth edition of Pirate Ship Mafia (this is a good reason to lynch him, incidentally).

GH
Logic

choxorn

scumpile

Two-fingered salute it is.

vote: choxorn

Don't really want to lynch barto anymore

I'm going to bed

[Cuthillius]

winston's stuff recently looks good

i like what he's doing and where he's going

movin' him up

[El Barto]

Time's up, lads.

(…)Also, I had a lot fewer RL commitments back in February than I do right now, which is why I'm only just briefly popping in and out- that's all I really have time to do.

Is this why you're voting choxorn, Zack?

[Dp101]

I've read everything, but I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to participate much tonight. I'm wiped out after a whole bunch of studying and probably should get more sleep than normal rather than play mafia late into the night. What I will say is that Zack is becoming even more lock town to me, I really feel the push on him is criticising him playing the game effectively rather than him doing anything scummy. I also think that the Fredwood mini-push based on the "unfortunately" phrasing is really stupid, and probably a poor look for everyone involved. Such a minor phrasing thing is just a really poor thing to base a read off of. Also, I think I'm mostly off of the Logic wagon, the GH analysis feels like it pushes him more towards town than anything else. Zack's Barto case looks decent, and I think that it is probably one of the stronger options at this point in time. The swap to chox is hot garbage IMO, the strategy of lynch the lowposter is rarely a good one. I get that the posts themselves have been a tad sheepy, but not sure that it's enough to make him the lynch.

and you conveniently skipped over this part too

After that post, what made you want to lynch Barto again?

That sequence made me think, hey, I'll give him space to work and do his thing. But he's not made much use of it.

I'd be lying if I said some it isn't also just, there are a good number of people who are cleared or at least look good from yesterday. POE and all.

I think Chox is a better lynch still, fwiw.
