SotF Board Mafia Game Thread!

also this is fast-forwarding a lot but i wanna agree with zetsu that accusations based on irl stuff are ugly and i have no reason to doubt what toben said anyways especially because this is in fact an unusually short day phase and i never would have expected it to have only lasted three days if i wasnt paying attention when ricky said so

Game hat off here for a sec: MS and I are cool and he's not accusing me of anything--I'm 99% he was actually backing up my IRL explanation (because we chat music stuff so he knows when I go abruptly AWOL/low activity for a few days) and saying he's suspicious of my actions since which is a fair take even though I obviously disagree. Just wanted to be, like, real clear there's no beef and I'm not offended and I think maybe things got misread a little because I'm pretty sure we're all on the same page on this one.

[Fenris]

imma be honest ive barely read the last couple of pages i just saw that comment from zetsu and i saw you explaining yourself about the day shortness and was like i mean yeah that makes sense

[Kermit]

yooooooooooooo yall hipsters try every day to further the whackness quotient on this site but yeah i've been generally kinda ?????? @ the deamon and yugi wagons BUT i'll stan toben because poly's been kinda giving me a gut feeling all game i dunno i smoke so much weed im building up a physical resistance to it Vote: Poly

[Cactus]

Don't you not do any drugs at all ever?

I'll bring thoughts when I don't have friends over drinking 9 beers and playing Shiola in mk11.

[Fenris]

i was gonna dissect the shit out of the decoy lynch at some point but slam already did it for me, bless him.

i agree on ms for reasons ive stated before. i actually somewhat disagree on jace solely because he's an admitted new mafia player and so i don't think the crabs-in-a-bucket move of flipping blame back onto decoy from himself makes him 100% town. i do think he's more likely to be town than not but its not a done deal to me yet.

gianni really doesn't say a ton on day one outside of agreeing with me which we all can agree is a good and sexy look but like the lack of actual content is sus. the only thing he's really contributed day 2 has been nodding at slam followed by slam kinda nodding at him which is maybe a lil ????

zetsu's day one mood has been pretty in character for her in terms of aggression and also her keeping her vote on decoy is more town points from me. i agree that irina reads more as new than as town or scum, tho new people tend to be harder to read for basically the same things i just said re: jace

froggle is froggle. i dont know what he's doing but that is normal. toben is toben. he's doing the Utmost and that is also normal

dodd was kinda away for a lot of day 1 but he jumped on the second decoy lynch as soon as there was a reason to behind lynchalllurkers which i can appreciate. i also appreciate the read list, read lists are sexy. ill like look at that more when i get to it. lmao

poly is objectively playing the most utr game here re: pure post count and also honestly via content. his only real effortpost is his most recent one against yugi and while i do appreciate the argument that yugi staying off the decoy vote is possibly suspect i also think yugi is reasonably good at mafia and staying off of the easy lynch of a mafia member who made a bad play is, like, just bad scum play. i could be wrong!! i could be totally overestimating yugi. (sorry yugi)

deamon agreeing with the decoy lynch but not actually voting is a bit like weird. i pointed out Stuff re: him but i do think i agree that thats just how he does mafia and i probably shouldn't read that much into that. i do kinda feel like he's poking around at a bunch of things at once but uhhh i do that sometimes too so i cant judge really!!

the thing i already said about yugi stands which is that if he's scum he's incompetent scum and i dont think he'd be that incompetent personally yknow


oh god i said this wasn't gonna be a wall of text

[Kermit]

im immune to edibles

[Fenris]

i just realized i have the most posts here by like a fuckton too. god. im the tryhard. its me. fuck. ok im just gonna read everything and then do one post and have it not be super long so yall dont get mad at me

(i also just realized i forgot to mention boogie in the wall of text and my read on boogie is that he's being very. boogie-like. idk i dont have a clear feeling yet but i dont have a bad feeling either)

the argument about how random or not random the decoy lynch was strikes me as a townfight and not really worth thinking about

i basically agree with all of dodd's takes for reasons already in the text wall above lmao

the whole deamon/slam convo is interesting and will be good to look back on whenever one of them flips. ill take toben's points about deamon under consideration but i dont trust any of yall bringing up specific shit from prior games because i dont remember anything older than madoka mafia and i only remember that because i was running it

this is going to turn into a wall of text again so ill just go straight to current reads:

pretty town: ms, zetsu
town-lean: jace, dodd, toben, yugi
neutral: toben, froggle, boogie, irina, slam
scum-lean: deamon, gianni
pretty scum: poly

hey that worked out pretty well

VOTE: Polybius

more indepth reasoning available on request i just didnt want to do even more of a fucking text wall than i already did

[Grand Moff Hissa]

I enjoy my ability to transcend tiers.

That said, I'm always down for extra reasoning, even when it's a point I agree with/am cheerleading.

[Slam]

At this point I'm still side-eyeing Deamon and Yugi, but I want a lynch to happen and Poly ranked low enough on my scumdar that I'm willing to hop over in the interest of a good ol' rope party.

UNVOTE
VOTE: POLYBIUS

[Deamon]

what’s the argument for getting rid of poly?

[Irina Ivanov]

I have internet back for a total of one hour, since the internet broke a total of 'very short time' after I made my mini post. So sorry I've been a bit quiet but wifi problems at home man.

Okay reading through Poly's posts through rn (Individually because I am too tired), my interpretation of him is pretty weird. Like, he says he's fine with killing lurkers, but he doesn't go for Jace at all and instead heads for Decoy once he defensively votes in a VERY scum indicating way. A perfect time to cut losses and throw the scum under the bus. He could simply be busy during that time, but no reasoning sooo.

Also if we lynch Poly, I reckon we might get some indications on where Jace flips since Poly's defense is that if he was scum he would have gone for Jace instead.

[MethodicalSlacker]

A lot of his content seems like he changes his viewset and thoughts based on what the current popular discussion is at the time and it's kinda weird.

At least some of that is because I don't want to wind up splitting any vote that we come to. If there are two options, and I pick one, and most people pick the other, and I can even just sort of see the case for the other one, then it's my obligation to switch so that quorum can be reached for a lunch. With that in mind, even though the readiness for a bunch of people to suddenly jump on Poly startles me, I can see that it's going to be the only lunch we have a chance of eating today, and any lunch is still currently better than no lunch, so I'm going to Unvote and Vote: Polybius. I side-eye Deamon throwing a "hey why are we doing this thing that several people have made cases for already" in there.

You're next, buster.

On a different note;

also this is fast-forwarding a lot but i wanna agree with zetsu that accusations based on irl stuff are ugly and i have no reason to doubt what toben said anyways especially because this is in fact an unusually short day phase and i never would have expected it to have only lasted three days if i wasnt paying attention when ricky said so

Yeah this was my intention here. I'm sorry if I sounded like I was trying to twist Toben's work schedule against him, I didn't mean to do that and it's my fault if I came across that way. Given the state of the world right now, and also just in general, it would be incredibly shitty to hold any real life circumstance against somebody.

[Zetsu]

I’m not really following the thought process for the poly lynch? MW I thought you don’t do walls of text when you want us to read.

Kermit is continuing to set off my scumdar for being super vague with all his reads.

Will go ahead and toss a vote on poly in the name of getting something done this phase.

unvote

Vote:poly

Poly, now is probably a good time to toss out a claim.

[Cactus]

With all of the above stated reasons from fenris, Irina, mw, Ms, etc - I'm good jumping on this lynch but I'd like to see a defense from Poly before we really get things rolling.

Fos: poly
