Real Housewives of Mafia: Game Thread
fuck. it's exodia. fuck. is this clown town? it better be, because i obviously need to go to clown school, and i don't have a clown car or a clown licence, but thankfully clown town has public transportation at the very reasonable cost of one pun per ride, and i have a joke book right here
oh
that's contraband
goodbye. clown jail.

You actually can still do this.
Further comments in a few as my demonstration has suggested to me some stuff went down.
I bid you all dark greetings!
i was gonna do a proper Read List yesterday but then i took a four-hour nap instead and forgot what i wanted to say. also i agree with boogie that doing reads whilst not being able to look at users individually by post is a pain in the ass. i just reread the whole thread but i probably missed obvious things because my attention span is really bad and ten pages isnt a Lot by mafia standards but it still feels like a lot.
starting with some observations. this turned out to be very long and a lot of it is just kind of a summary of all the important things that have happened in the last 10 pages. i apologize profusely for my inability to stop talking, ive been scumread in previous games for useless contributions but honestly i just like getting all of my thoughts down in writing and it always turns into a goddamn novel:
the novel got so long i had to spoil it. i'm so sorry. i'm gonna post actual reads of people separately whoops

Okay actually it was just Boogie posting a lot. I'm at the spot right now where I'm really confident in my Rugga town read. Boogie's behavior is, like, not normal Boogie fare which makes me lean more towny than scummy--that said, he's way more under pressure than he usually tends to be so I don't have a very good metric to judge based on.
I'm sorta side-eyeing a lot of other people right now for various reasons. Skraal and Blizzard definitely give me slightly weird vibes--Blizzard has dropped some terminology that has my eyebrow raised and I think is kinda taking odd angles that don't totally hold up. Skraal has come out swinging and I'm not quite sure what to make of that but it's hard to really figure after a quiet first phase.
Fenris' contributions thus far make me town read them--good analysis and general engagement in a way that doesn't feel forced or like a mask.
Ricky and Jimmy are kinda null; need to reread when more focused.
I'd sooner see Boogie lynched than nobody but (gasp, plot twist) actually don't really feel him as scum for once.

I just wanna ease off the gas for a second in case we have someone who just hammers. I will talk more in a second.

working on my reads but blizzard's terminology usage and unusual angles of attack strike me as someone who just spent several hours on the mafiascum wiki and wants to flex their Mafia Knowledge Muscles which was 100% me when i first started playing forum mafia so id be a hypocrite if i called it out

I'm here, I'm all for the queers, get over it.
Okay wow so I was about to say 'WE'RE ONE VOTE AWAY FROM LYNCH LET'S PUMP THE BRAKES AND DISCUSS' but I guess Iktor had the same thoughts and now we're slightly out of hammer range? So that's comfortable.
I don't really see the rationale for a Boogie vote, not yet. He's been quiet, but I've been quiet (not that I'm without my excuses, my work schedule has legitimately been insane and if it keeps up I may have to drop out of the game; I would really like for that not to happen but my time off is basically Saturday night, Sunday, Monday night, end of list). Beyond that, when pressed, he really didn't burst and give us juice under pressure. Juice like a grape. A delicious grape grown straight off the vineyard that totally wasn't just bought at the local Wawa market I promise DON'T LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT
I'll need to dedicate more time to reading Blizzard and Skraal in order to give thoughts on them. Skraal's catching my eye more than anything but not in a 'you're scum' light, more like 'hey you're actually active and if you keep it up I'll listen to what you have to say.'
Note that I didn't say 'believe', I only said 'listen.'

Boogie's claim reads as town to me for the following reasons:
I laid a little bit of a trap in saying that it would be impossible to tell who would be town and who would be mafia with this flavor. I was hoping it would make people a little more easygoing with their role claiming because if we saw a name it would be just as likely that someone could be mafia or town because these women are largely awful people.
However, there are still a couple who are widely recognized to be good-ish and some who are irredeemably evil. Dorinda is someone I would find to be highly unlikely to be mafia. She's a gentle daffodil of a soul who sometimes does too many drugs.
Secondly, he claimed vanilla townie and thought that would sink him. I think we're probably almost all vanilla townies with maybe a cop. Kermit was a vanilla townie and so am I.

The reason I think we're probably mostly vanilla townies is because the game is so small.
i've been operating under the assumption that most of us are vanilla townies re: what i said before about basic mafia setups (we probably have, like, one cop + one doctor at most, possibly only one or the other). i'm too lazy to look up flavor claims but i trust rugga's read on boogie's. it's not a sure thing since scum might have safe claims, but it's a positive point in his direction.

idk what more juice you can get out of someone under pressure than a role/flavor claim tbhMK Kilmarnock wrote: ↑Fri Sep 28, 2018 5:33 am Beyond that, when pressed, he really didn't burst and give us juice under pressure.
i had boogie as a light scumlean before what rugga says and i'm back to a null read on him now. i'm getting Mixed Messages. i'm still working on my reads list, i'll have it posted before bed

Its true that they could have safe claims. The last time I was in an Brackie mafia like 50 years ago before many of you were here was the Mario Mafia where I was chain chomp and he didn't give me a safe claim. I remember having to go to the Mario wiki and trying to pick out an obscure Mario character I was fairly sure wouldn't have been assigned just in case I was asked.
However, Brackie may have changed or evolved his mafia since like 2013 when I think Mario mafia was.

2013 was long enough ago that legally speaking it never happened
