Survival Of The Fittest

So I'm letting that sit on the backburner as a false tell, for now, until I notice something I simply can't ignore.

if we're figuring out Irina's scum meta based off of past play then Irina's scum meta is, if Paranoia Mafia is allowed to be indication, 'accidentally names her scum partner in the thread'

paranoia mafia is a statistical outlier adn should not be considered

Also, if flavour speculation is still allowed: research on what War of the Chosen is (like, whether it was just the subtitle for XCOM 2 or a DLC campaign — it's the latter) tells me that there are zombie third parties who like to kill both XCOM and ADVENT. Should we be worried about zombie third parties who like to kill ADVENT?

maybe

imo we shouldnt worry about figuring out third parties until we see the night kills

Yup, I have been mafia before, my play was a total of one post: "Sorry I was inactive, [You know who you are], and now I dead ", but everyone there was mafia so I don't think that counts. Also, on the topic of Dodd, yeah, his throw in the towel post, I'm pretty sure was an attempted psych-out like everyone's suggested, but like, saying he's using real life for pity points sounds really uh, not good. I don't want to be the person to call out ir stuff, so yeah.

I'm going to FOS: Cactus, since we've still got a bit of the day left, but I'll vote later on, just don't want to lunch while there's still a discussion going on, and stuff left to cover. Will second Boogie, best not to worry about something that might not even exist

Lemme raincheck this for tomorrow as I have a soft rule not to dig into mafia too hard after midnight (it messes with my sleep) and I was like "Oh lemme just do a quick response" but there's five pages of new stuff from the ~3.5 hours it took me to run a little errand, cook and eat dinner, and make a post I owed for ages. ;-; Starting tomorrow's read at post 166 (also it'll be afternoon/evening because I have work, boo).

I have asked Deamon to replace me in the game or call it, his choice.

I'm taking all of this way too personally and instead of lashing out and telling some of you off, I'm stepping back for now.

Playing this wasn't a good call for me. Not right now.

Sorry everyone.

that's a shame, take care man

Jesus Christ guys how'd/why'd you do ten pages while I was asleep?

Because everyone's at home with nothing to do (Or maybe that's just mostly us), tell us your thoughts once you've read though, Slam!

Take care, Dodd! No game should be bringing you down, mafia no exception

UNVOTE
VOTE: Jace

I don't have any smoking gun evidence that Jace is scum. I could believe he was just being hasty in reading his role PM and wasn't paying attention.

But he's putting out an excessive amount of noise that's actually more disruptive than helpful, because it makes it harder to read through things and get an understanding. His accusing of Dodd feels chainsawy to me (and seriously guys lay off, none of this 'using "life is reallly hard right now" is a ploy/smokescreen!' bullshit, ok?), and there's an awful lot more activity compared to last round. Could be that he feels he's in the swing of things, or could be mafia motivation to lead the narrative.

Mostly I just want to lynch him because it'll clear up noise and we'll get a lot of information out of a dead Jace considering how many conversations he's been in. Also he's already claimed vanilla townie, so expendable.

Take care Dodd!

And while I get the reasoning behind Slam's call for a "mostly to get rid of noise" lynch of Jace, I sorta see the noise as potentially helpful?

Like for the people who actually read ISOs and all that stuff

ISOs?

iso is short for isolation ie looking at one user's posts. so u read an iso by going back and looking at everything one person has said and looking for patterns and inconsistencies and shit

i am going to bed like momentarily but i was gonna do an iso read on jace tomorrow probably tbh

That's an interesting direction to push when Jace's "noise" has largely been to push back against accusations against him from boogie/MW/Cactus/me, and to push suspicions against Cactus. Neither strike me as particularly noisy compared to other loud posters unless you want Jace dead and Cactus alive.
