XCOM Mafia [Concluded]

[El Barto]

Are you claiming wolf, then?

As much as I would enjoy roleplaying as the leader of a faction determined to cast out aliens and their evil mind-slave armies from the good old U.S. of A., no.

You were a member of the mafia last game. That's put a bit of a damper on things. Sometimes slow is good.

Sry for beating you.

Hi Monty. Care to chat?

Hi everyone! How long do you all intend on spamming for this time/ when can we get down to business?

Wolf.

[Dp101]

Wolf.

You have an interesting definition of getting down to business.

Hello it's time for my obligatory awkward checking and to just say Hi for the first time post.

Office gifs the norm then.

You're right, that is awkward.

Hi though. How and where do you normally play this game?

Well, look what the Space-Cat regurgitated.

Hey Gohan, hey Krillin, hey Goku.

Manasi and Champ as of this post

with a big disclaimer that those are both pretty thin

Those are interesting choices. But it's 300+ posts in, and I think both of them had strong starts at least.

vote:monty for this and followup

was not super fond, felt like took advantage of longish dp post, not hugely natural feeling

/shrug

Cuth-y reasoning, for sure.

csargo, pizza, jowy all town

cs excellent tone, reads i agree with, feels right during discussion with atpg

pizza fairly similar, agree with csargo that i disagree with pizza on barto

jowy a nice free-flowing game BUT going in the right directions, has a mildly cocksure aura to him that i like

Yeah, I think all of this adds up. I like his strong solid town core as soon as possible in the game, which by then was fairly possible.

It looks like solving to me.

HOWEVER

i also kinda think dp is town

i think he's being pushed for bad reasons, and i like his responses

he's reacting in a towny way, exactly like i'd expect, i think he'd be a bit more deflecting contrasted with some aggressive posts

here it just feels pretty natural

with that in mind i'm not putting aside the option of something like pizza scum ?maybe csargo? in there and possibly another person i townread

as of right now again i do like all of the listed

would most like to lynch monty, curious what you people, including dp, have to say about him

struggling a little to find wolves as of right now which is why i'm sideeying my townreads

but eh we'll see

Believable.

since i said that pivoted a little

i don't know exactly how to feel about him

i'm not a HUGE fan of the dp vote from him, buut at the same time it's gutsy as scum

i have no real idea how to read him in general though

so imo wait until some people around interactions with him flip

or something

and i was actually talking about csargo, not you

sorry

Town-reading this post.

except not even

it's just lazy

Novice scum kinda makes Cuth look very good for this exchange with him. Click for context. I don't think Novice-Cuth has this exchange.

noting, for the record, that novice has never played with me when i was scum

Excellence.

...

i have no idea how you reached this conclusion in any way

Utterly normal response to what I said.

this is the sequence

pizza asks people for townreads

dp gives a longish thought out reply

monty says dp town

when asked why, given the out of "tone"

he seizes it with vigor

monty usually at least provides curt replies with reasoning

here it just feels like

there was a post by town that looked towny

he said man i need to find a towny post that looked towny

so he called the guy who made said post town

and had no real justification for doing so otherwise

like legit i don't doubt that the read is... real

it just feels easy, it feels lazy, he does the "all we've got babe" thing instead of literally anything else

ech

Not fake.

vote:csargo

Not a scum vote.

reassessing, i think he's scummier

in the light of a new day, i dislike his continued push on dp

i'm not mindmelding with him as much or at all now

i think it makes sense from a perspective/gameplay pov as of right now

monty has that strike against him, but it's really not THAT much and i'd still like to hear more from him before considering lynching him in an ideal world

i also am not super fond of people's reasons for townreading csargo, pizza in particular, and think that independently he doesn't have a ton going for him aorn

Not fake.

I think we can stop here.

Cuth just town this game. His process is Cuthy and he's not finding scum pizza this game, as much as he'd like to. That's a nice get if it ever happens.

Sorry to disappoint, Coof.

Are you claiming SK, then?

Remember when Idris Elba was on the office?



That was great.

[BSmith]

Random Gods tell me to vote: Sooh though I am tempted to vote for one of the no lynchers.

If you jump ship, and onto one of the no lynchers, there is a reasonable chance that I will join you.

[Manasi]

Not really liking the tweaking out from ATPG, but that's a personal thing and not a reads thing, probably almost lock town for now.

Thx Jowy.

Champ as astute as ever.

Mod spew from Zack.

I'm feelin' ok about this.

[El Barto]

Random Gods tell me to vote: Sooh though I am tempted to vote for one of the no lynchers.

This would mean that if Fred was scum he would have been told by BSmith what a D1 random vote was so that he wouldn't accidentally get too much attention. There's always the danger of having a tracker or roleblocker about…

I can temptatively say that in 24 hours I'll be voting for Dp101.

[autolycus]

I'll have more of a thought on whether there are 3rd parties after tonight. Since novice died last night, it's possible that there's no more XCOM and Zack won't tell us if we've wiped them out.

this seems unlikely

i've read part of the game but i'm about to fall asleep. will catch up more tomorrow

You were a member of the mafia last game. That's put a bit of a damper on things. Sometimes slow is good.

This and the rest of his page 1 felt iffy to me at the time.

By now, I should have a better handle on things and value that initial impression with a lot less weight.

Oh, so you are trying to be the Devon Banks to my Jack Donaghy.

Day One. Spamming is in the order of business.

Oh, I do love Eddie Izzard.

I hope you have noticed that I am voting for you to be hanged from the neck until you die.

Really? This would diminish our probability of catching any mafia or, indeed, procuring any information.

Redacted edition:

I will hazard a diagnosis of Perfect Information Syndrome.

So you aren't announcing yourself as town?

Second page. Tone is a bad way to read Barto I think. He's comfortable as scum I think. Comfortable enough to be difficult to catch anyway. His meta is the perfect scumminess shield.

Let's quasi-bookmark this for information on El Pizzahombre.

Yes? Hello there, ma'am. What a nice… hat you have.

Third page. I still have no idea if this is really a thing Barto does. It seems off, more organized and planned than I imagine his town game is.

You see…

(!)

FfoS: crimson_snow

Interesting.

I suggest that more lucid minds than mine examine a possible link between Jowy and crimson_snow and rebellious human scum.

1) I will concede that that is an ever-present possibility.
2) We can always get Csargo to bus somebody.
3) I… what? I am a civilised person who eats away from the computer.

Enough is enough.

I would have voted crimson_snow first as a matter of policy, but you do not get to do this and live.

vote: Dp101

4th page, click for context. I like this post for Barto-town specifically because of this highlighted bit.

Townie behavior in general is that he was rattling the cages of several folks with way more posts and townie-reads on them than himself. That's something you want to avoid doing as scum most of the time.

Why are you not voting for him?

Click for context again. This looks like a genuine misread of what Csargo was saying in that post, and that's an easy mistake to make.

@Askthepizzaguy: look for the proposed Jowy-crimson_snow link when you return to this forum.

He's only pretending to sleep.

Probably the best post from Barto in the game. This tinfoil is so Barto-y that it defines Bartness. And him pushing it the way he's doing it feels right in his town zone. The comment about me pretending to sleep is also great. He's in a very relaxed place and just spitting truth out.

I can't explain why any better than that, why that comment is great. It's just behavior I don't imagine him doing here as scum, even if he were trying to pocket me.

Maybe he's really trying hard to pocket me.

*jumps in his pocket*

It's nice in there, though.

First log off, then re-read the game.

Your being wrong about something proves you a townie? This is most perplexing.

Townie in tone.

I shouldn't do it but I can't help it, it's too good.

Not on my watch. vote: Jowy

Hah! I *TOLD* you people that he wasn't asleep.

It is meant to be pronounced as [t͡s], actually. It's from the Russian ‘царь’.

Pressure, sir? My vote in these games is always, by definition, a random vote.

Not even I would go to such ridiculous lengths to justify a belated OMGUS-type vote.

Are you admitting to being, as they call it, ‘high’?

Yes, you are.

This 3rd on the wagon vote way less scummy than novice's. Even with Jowy's flip of town. Click for context.

If this is scum his poker face is real good.

Note well: Champ crossposted the 4th vote. It could very well have been the third vote and Barto sniped him by seconds.

Vote: Jowy

I don't have issues with either vote. I don't think Champ had to vote Jowy there if he was scum. It doesn't clear him, I just don't see this as the typical last minute scum move to cap a wagon.

Even if it was, Csargo wouldn't be the one who is scum, of the two. It could be GH-scummy "chaos chaos chaos" and get away with it maneuver, to muddy the waters, coincidentally before Champ got replaced out with the man himself. That's funny to me, in a ha-ha kind of way.

I dunno. I don't think Champ was going to get as much attention before this move as he did after it. Attention's bad, mkay?

Getting sidetracked.

Barto not clear, but looking much better than most of his accusers.
