13er summer game thread

[katze]

i

tend to keep the outside world out of my games because i don't think its rly appropriate to bring into the game, i do tend to kinda play it cool regardless of how i feel because... idk really. i guess i usually actually am doing more behind the scenes though so its not generally a problem, whereas rn i am basically using the thread as a chat room

i do intend to get myself rolling by the end of the phase because i signed up for a game and don't intend on like. not playing it. but this game is very much so not my top priority rn

[Achro]

Makes perfect sense yeah, good priorities.

I have a few skill issues emotionally as I say so I just always tell people ate/emotions are null and not read into them. I try not to get too personal if I am having a bad time other than maybe saying 'I am having a bad time'

Probably why I just null ate super hard because I would feel a deep sense of shame as a mafia player if people thought they could clear me due to emotional things instead of my play.

[Achro]

This is a town post and dya is a town who is having trouble getting into the game.

Let's actually go back 3 years in time to the last time I pulled scum sk out of my hat day one in champs and commit some metallurgical murder.

this is genuinely the purest post itg


iyam

I miss you more every day, ladd. I was a fool falling for sk's honeyed words.

[Cuthillius]

yeah?

[Achro]

Anyway reading over day 2 again makes it clear it is just cuth/benneh imo. Lots of talk with sk and benneh back and forth over things. Sk making me his top town read while trying to shade katze often only to turn around and to try to butter katze up to me in f7, probing for which was his best bet if he had any win conditions then and there.

Would genuinely surprise me if katze or winston is paired with cuth.

Tbh I saw a post from cuth eod2 when I was having a bad time saying I am very confident in my reads and I think this is a misread of tone of confidence vs me being disoriented by lack of communication.

Visor voted me for no stated reason. I tried to engage. He did not. Taffy voted me for basically such a silly reason (comparing a wolf game to a town game for reasons I don't understand to this day) and every time I tried to engage it felt like they were twisting a knife and my words. I found them town just because I didn't think a wolf could ever make that up. Which was nice I guess. Admittedly blew a gasket when they said I was leading votes away from visor. Shouldn't ever do that of course. That conclusion based on evidence was... interesting.

Visor day 2 felt like he was actively gaslighting me with the cape stuff. I should have known if I was getting upset he was town but in the moment I was disoriented and baffled how anyone could not speak up and lmbe like 'yo visor. You are probably tunneled achro spoke up against cape momentum a lot day 1' but he just kept trucking along. Telling me he didn't read all my posts. Telling me I said nothing but nonsense (half the day was spent on a wolf so some of my posts were Ok at least) and it felt very demeaning. Dya said I was the reason this game wasn't chill, but for me I was really trying to slog through the mud since hour 1 day 1 with two town tunneling me and me trying to communicate and feeling as if I got either bad faith or really strange arguments that made no sense back at me. I didn't feel chill at all. Katze brings me to 3 and I ask 'what's your read' and they literally are like I don't want to tell you. How is that supposed to be fun and chill for ME? It's really hard because I like a lot of information and to understand people and for a lot of say 1 I had 2 people who didn't tell me why they suspected me and another who suspected me because I was unsure of my solving ability with a post cap based off a game as a WOLF. It was ridiculous to compare the two. And I never wavered from that town read because I knew only town think of things like that.

Like outside of the game I am confident because of my work inside the game. Once I am inside I have no confidence other than when I have already made a decision. I was looking for a sanity check from ender on visor and asked my top tr to solve with me so I could get a better grip on things and instead he votes me because he thought I was pocketing him, which okay sure, and declines to engage with me. He then red checks visor and I am like oh OK. It was just a ruse to get visor to spill. Cool. Let me spend some time solving partners with visor since ender says he is a wolf. So yeah I spent hours conformation biased because I think its a literal red check and by the time it is revealed not to be it's probably too late. The soup has been boiling for hours now ita time to serve it.

Then dya brings up real life and eod and I have never not once in my life blamed anyone for missing eod for any rl reason. I had a problem with their progression on some reads and it had nothing to do with eod. I just was confused (and wrong) about a couple of things but for some reason they thought I was taking a swing I would never take.

Like. To a point you have to be confident in mafia if you want to be a good player. Wolves are going to try to shake you. So you can't blow with the breeze. But I was willing to vote benneh with you cuth. In an instant I let go of my main tunnel and was like 'no problem' that's not overconfidence. That's trying to solve together and good town play. I now know why you didn't join me, so fair, but yeah I finally had enough and lost my cool which is never ok btw literally never ok but also I understand the circumstances for why it happened and know what to avoid in the future.

Like I think I omgus a lot less than most people so to act like me getting confirmation biased by visor when I held out him as ok for awhile as uniquely achro confident doesn't make sense. I relaxed on katze. I was back and forth on sk a lot not sure. I asked to solve with people a lot.

Someone will have to tell me after the game what word choices I use to sound super confident and not changing my mind because I lead the game saying I was insecure and going to do my best. Please tell me the phrases I used to make it seem like I didn't want to solve together and I will delete them from my mafia play. Never to be seen again. Because thinking I am some confident berserker is a misunderstanding. My hands were shaking voting cuth because I was nervous I got snowed but I had finally made my mind up.

[katze]

yeah?

cuth i dont understand help me help you help us or something idk

[katze]

taffy
cape
ender
dya
sk

i don't realy think i'd wanna actually vote dya or sk but they're the bottom of my reads. sk more nullish and dya slightly wolfy

@nebjiamn

dno if u answer this later but im like... vaguely reading up on the game now

why did you list dya/sk and then be like "idk if i ACTUALLY want to vote them tho..."

[Achro]

bottom of my reads because i had villa-ish reads on the rest of the player list but they were not below my 3 primary wolf reads who were taffy/ender/cape

i was far more interested in pursuing ender and taffy at the time of the post. as day moved on taffy felt more villagery on their return so i focused on ender

i'm not sure what i woulda done if i was a little more prsent at eod but c'est la vie and all

@katze got this from benneh d2

[katze]

if the team is benneh/cuth then dya had a poe of 4 with all 3 wolves like halfway into d1 what a legend

if its achro/x then taffy had a pretty elite early d1 too (and if not then their townreads were still p good on contested slots)

fun to reread with flips in mind

The why are you booing me meme since text covered up some

[katze]

ladd, dya, taffy all picking up townpoints

cuth, benneh going the other way

insomnia is deeep in my null zone - got no feels at all here from 22 posts - worth an iso

im sorry for ever doubting you

[Cuthillius]

cuth i dont understand help me help you help us or something idk

i am doing other things that are stressful right now and i was just venting some of my stress at nothing happening into this game while i did things to account for the other stresses

[Achro]

i am doing other things that are stressful right now and i was just venting some of my stress at nothing happening into this game while i did things to account for the other stresses

Thats a mood tbh

Haven't had the best week myself.

All the hugs to you

[katze]

i am doing other things that are stressful right now and i was just venting some of my stress at nothing happening into this game while i did things to account for the other stresses

oh i feel that

i second the hug notion

[katze]

what if i told you i took catalyst on floor 2 without any poison cards

you sonofa...

I want to cards with friends one day again

i dont know why dya took issue with this, catalyst is strong enough that its worth an early game gamble

wait benneh did u mean act 2...

[katze]

Ooh, yeah, I've not talked about Cape at all. Good catch.

oh shit, we're lynching cape?!

why have i been ignoring cape?

cant believe this guy called me withholding my read on him performative after doing this tbh!

[Achro]

Katze literally pulled a litten on me holy shit.

[katze]

Katze literally pulled a litten on me holy shit.

fun fact: my first game ever was a hydra with him

but what does this mean LMAO

[Achro]

Only for katze

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

in a game on fol recently we killed leafia day 1 over my objections and litten it turned out hadnt read any of my arguments until after I died for the mafia member I was pushing so day 2 he was like 'oh man achro was so right' after I was a corpse. I was not happy in dvc lmao

[Cuthillius]

i'm so sorry

[Achro]

Litten is the beat illiterate mafia player to ever play this game I will have you know.

i just now went and figured out whos profile picture this is and

1. lmao
2. i hate you
3. how much effort was it
4. why didnt you just say what you were trying to say without pulling up her PFP? is it really that recognizable for the MU boomers and im the one left out here or did you just do a hehe for yourself?

ah, okay

because cape doesn't seem to be acting at all

naturalistic doesn't necessarily mean townie

but i'd need something more specific to convince me to chop here

otherwise cape just seems like low hanging fruit

@ladd

sell me on cape

aye, i get that

but who could be his buddies?

and why have they played it like this?

its a mildly unfair comparison since benneh has almost certainly talked about cape before now (i should probably read back) but between benneh and winston its kinda clear that benneh isnt afraid to push down and winston is, like, INVESTIGATING the case

he does cave kinda easily to ladd but its better than nothing

Only for katze

oh lmao

yeah i mean i read them but i definitely have not fully processed every post today

[katze]

i'm so sorry

it was supposed to be a newbie friendly mafia game and then it was bastard and stupid and arguably incredibly unbalanced and inarguably very very unorthodox which probably doesnt fit a newbie friendly mafia game

anyway a wolf faked a redcheck on our slot that game because they didnt like litten and then endgamed and won off of a faux mechclear




im sure this explains a lot about how i play

[nebjiamn]

its not recognizable at all and took not much effort, i just googled for FA on site:mu

it was a fun little joke for me and now you get to share in the experience

[katze]

I kinda actually think cuth is a wolf, reading over the posts in the back half of the day is a stark contrast to how I felt earlier (where I thought his posts were fine)

Just a lot of posts in a string that seem to be tripping off my alarms

Like a wolf working the elbow grease

if i vote wrong i now can blame visor because i will say my vote is a sheep or an antisheep

ez

pretty much any other choice and i'd have followed you here

just for the joy

for why (there is an answer i kind of expect you to say regardless of alignment but i want you to answer anyway)

[nebjiamn]

My laptop died mid post but the just of the other quote kat is I was asked for 5 so I gave my bottom 5 and that didn’t align fully with people I was willing to kill

[Cuthillius]

i just now went and figured out whos profile picture this is

fwiw i recognized it instantly lol

[nebjiamn]

i should ahve stayed home

theres no empty cubicles and people are loud af
