I mean, you've already admitted that you two aren't town together and that the only options are you are both scum together or you are of opposing alignments.

Uh, you failed at reading that. We can't be scum together. Anything else can work.

This is trying too hard to avoid committing. It goes without saying that you're open to revisiting your reads as the day progresses in the early hours of day 1, no one knows anything with 100% certainty yet. Pointing it out doesn't do much besides give you an out if questioned about voting one of them later.

##Vote: Chang

He did the same thing as town just last game, fyi.

Miller is a safe claim for any alignment and any role. So it's null and who cares if he is telling the truth.

If anyone is scum so far it's Sbell

It's actually the guy who made a long post to justify voting. But, I am sure everyone knows that already. The one who was like it's been 100 posts I am gonna put one down on Sultan because you know someone has to do it. Or something lol

Why is my vote a grudge vote? It's literally sound, logical reasoning. Instead of throwing a dart a the board, why not throw one that has major upside if right beyond just possible scum.

If it's a scum lynch, we are smooth sailing.

And, yes, I am always told I am scummy. And I always advocate for being scanned night 1.

Do you have a reason to think Crescent is scum or is your vote just "I don't like this person, and if they're scum all the better for me"

I've read none of her posts until about post 147 or something. But, I can't pass up the chance to be free cop scanned since everyone always finds me scummy. lol It's day 1. No one is gonna be caught unless they outright wanna be.

UnderUrMattress posted...

Welp this game has a pretty terrible vibe already lol.

At least you know if you were getting fake threatened to get shot that you aren't gonna get shot! = )

UnderUrMattress posted...

Look dude can you just find mafia instead of trying to get someone modkilled lol

Sure. Lynch Crescent, if she is scum I am town. That's literally the best lynch you are gonna get on day 1 with no other info to go off of. I have literally zero incentive to do anything else this day because objectively for me the best lynch has to be Crescent due to the implications. I can confirm myself town that easily.

Here ##vote: Crescent

*shrug* I don't know any better course of action this day that could be possible for me. I'm just being realistic here. = /

See ya day 2!

How can I know what people are talking about when I can't see a quarter of the game or so?

That said, she said she still isn't reading my posts, so I assume she switched to ignore which is still a rules violation. If you have an issue, take your issue up with the person breaking mafia rules.

It is not on me to try and cover up for someone breaking mafia rules. Again, I was not blocked prior to this game, which means she did it purposely for this game.

UnderUrMattress posted...

This was aimed at Corrik btw lol

I didn't break the game. I reported a rules infraction to the game to explain why I don't know what is going on in topic.

And, I wasn't blocked prior to this game as we were both talking in a previous sign up topic, so it means she did it specifically for this game. yeah

So, I didn't know what you were talking about because you were talking to a person who hasn't posted yet. But, not I see I only see like half of this entire page. So, apparently Crescent is playing with me blocked which means I can't see her or any combination of quotes by or including her posts. So, that's a modkill I suppose since that's the against the rules and it is either bastard she did that as us both mafia to appear we couldn't be aligned or just confirms that we aren't mafia together. Either way... I suspect she is dead.

@ me when the host does her flip, since I probably can't see most of the topic until after it happens anyways.

PunishedBen posted...

Crescent, shoot him!

?

UltimaterializerX posted...

Youre also better than almost everyone else at hiding your alignment so it didnt matter much. Without the broken mason stuff you probably would have won.

Also, are we actually voting with this rate thing or is that just the host having fun?

Think it's cyoa maybe.

There's got to be a genuine slip one of these days

I did a perspective slip last game that I caught but no one else did.

PunishedBen posted...

This is a very weird post

No yours are. You appear to know a lot about these messages. Like it's impossible to believe you aren't involved with it now. I would assume they are nothing to do with players and are more of cyoa style of a game or something based on good or bad.

PunishedBen posted...

And no I have no relation to message man. So don't take that as any hintage

This is a very weird post.

Or maybe I'm thinking of reddit

In the games the good messages come to the forefront and the downvoted ones disappear isn't that how it works?

Oh he claimed oops

This combined with Baylor doubling Davis and the overwhelming Turnover ratio in Baylor's favor.

Literally the worst officiated game that may have ever happened in NCAA history. It is like they were trying to turn into the WWE. Clearly officiated a way for ratings. If those refs officiate another game this tournament, there is something really wrong.

I think I missed an item because the tall dudes with spears seem unbeatable atm.

Am I supposed to be only able to read half the game? Half is in Japanese and half is in English. Lol

Woulda maybe not voted Maria if it wasn't for that atrocious first pic for Emily.

Sidney Sweeney is gonna smash this entire contest.

Would be a sick idea to have Town auto guard scum.

Maybe a role that could give his flavor amnesia and removes his powers or something of that sort. Idk.

Luis_Sera89 posted...

Regardless of how balanced the game was (and indeed how possible it was to satisfactorily balance without changing fundamental characteristics of the set-up), one area it didn't succeed in was scum satisfaction, which is just as important to me as the mechanical balance; it's a game after all. Probably the hardest part of creating it was judging how much power to give to the mafia, because no matter how you look at it, the recruiter dying early, even with the built in contingencies, and the town remaining weak was always an inherent possibility (history tells us as much). In hindsight I wonder if I could have thought of anything else to give to scum to make them feel like they're interacting with the game more, as a parallel to the mason set-up, but then playing scum has never been about directly interfering with aspects of the game, so that might have been asking for trouble. I don't know, I can only really apologise to the scum team if the uniqueness of what the masons had access to made their own tools feel lacking in comparison.

Eh, it was a bit wild, but we aren't salty. Just gonna not let town dance on us for the game. The only way I can think to balance that role was maybe to have a role hunting it for scum with the mason having knowledge of being hunted. That way the mason has to maybe remain hidden and not be able to openly claim day 1 which is where it made it really imbalanced. There was zero drawback to the masons claiming day 1 to confirm town extremely early and with a doctor and bodyguard to boot.

About all I can think of maybe that made the role more balanced. Whether the hunter was to kill it or to neutralize the role.

Ukraine has apparently already begun counterattacking in some areas. Sources are Ukrainian but I guess we'll have a pretty good idea of how that is going soon.

I don't think the Pacific units and fighters from Syria are even close to enough to win this. If they are serious about continuing the war, they would need to do a general mobilization. There doesn't seem to be the willingness in Russia to do that (and that would make it obvious to everyone there that this isn't a special operation but a full blown war).

As far as the debt goes, don't think that's a big deal if they just default. It's not like anyone's lending to them now anyways.

I think it's notable that Belarus continues to refuse to send in their army. I think Lukashenko is afraid Russia will make a deal and leave him high and dry in a war with Ukraine, which he will lose because his army is worse and his own population doesn't support him. As long as Belarus officially maintains neutrality, Ukraine is unlikely to send an army into Belarus even if there's a peace made with Russia.

Belarus' army basically refused to go in.

I have a lot of connections to Turkey and the reason they are considering switching to the ruble is because the lira has crashed. Its economic, it is not an indicator of alignment, things are shakier than ever with Russia. They are also a NATO member as well.

Yes, they are a NATO member. And the Ruble has crashed also. So that's a weird reason.

HanOfTheNekos posted...

I think if I were alive, you could have convinced me off of pushing for you. Can't say for sure, but by end of the day, I was definitely feeling uneasy about the lynch. I mean, objectively, it was a bad idea to lynch the claimed doc. I was stuck in a logic funnel tho

Chris did like a perfect storm to get mislynched there. Like as scum, I felt like I couldn't possibly look town by not going hard after him. It's the same scenario death put me in.

HanOfTheNekos posted...

Like, only confirmed Town does not rail against Chris if me and Scare aren't pushing him to.

Chris reads were all completely wrong until the very end, but I mean when you have 8 iterations of reads and 1 of the 8 are right only at gunpoint when you have a mason confirmed town as a crutch to make them and wouldn't have had that in your scenario, there is zero chance your scenario magically comes true. If Ben is shot night 1, death doesn't roll over like a weirdo and town loses in 3 nights.

Lightning Strikes posted...

With respect Im going to defer to British military intelligence on this one!

Ukraine is already drafting an agreement. It is still ongoing but Russias stances have softened significantly - if Ukraine is in the EU in a few years and subject to article 42.7 thats an effective deterrent as France is a nuclear power. We will see how it goes, but if Ukraine is in the EU in five years Russia is unlikely to try again.

Also Russia withdrawing its troops from abroad is a bad sign for them. Apparently they even pulled troops from South Ossetia, and not just the Russian ones. Imagine if Georgia reclaimed that and Abkhazia. Its hard to see a positive outcome for Russia though things can always change of course.

France and USA both have said Russia isn't really negotiating. They are bombing the hell out of cities, have 4 troop transports speeding towards area from the Pacific and also have Pacific forces coming by rail.

Russia has only stated that Turkey can be a guaranteer of Ukraines sovereignty. The EU allowed thing was a mistranslation. Turkey is also considered switching using the Ruble as a form of currency going forward instead of just the dollar and Euro as usual.

I think it's important to not just get your information from one source.

Russia is in bad shape, but they aren't even close to defeated. The bigger question is how the conscription cycle will work with their army with the changeover on April 1st and with them now in a month grace period for financial default on their debt that just lapsed.

HanOfTheNekos posted...

Thing is, if the Masons don't have a recruiter, Chris likely isn't lynched, then he kills Scum faster?

So really, Mason team probably extended the game in Scum's favor.

Zero chance of that.

Lopen posted...

If you thought a claimed mason that you couldn't kill would lose you the game why were you not roleblocking it lol (also why would you not assume the mason bodyguard didn't stop the shot)

Lost the extra kill.

Lightning Strikes posted...

Foreign intelligence is saying that Russia has effectively fully stalled, including in Mariupol. They are still a long way away from taking the city and it will be very bloody and difficult for the Russians if they succeed at all. Add to that the enormous climbdown in the the Russian negotiating position where now theyre saying that Ukraine can join the EU, form individual defence pacts but no NATO, and have agreed to deal with the breakaway regions separately after a ceasefire. It seems that Russia know they have nearly no hope of outright victory now.

Nobody believes Russia is actually negotiating. They have things in there Ukraine can never agree to. They are stalled everywhere except in the east which has small progress, but they are paused while shoring up supply lines and bringing reinforcements. They are pulling from the Pacific units. Mariupol isn't a stall but more of a siege. Mariupol should fall any day. When that happens if they can flank around in the easy, they could cause a breakthrough across the entire east. We will see, but Russia isn't dead in the water at all. They have underperformed badly so far though.

HeroicCrono posted...

War is very different if you don't have overwhelming air power.

The way I see it though, notwithstanding that, Russia has little hope of winning a conventional war at this point, militarily. They lack the manpower, equipment, and industrial production to win a long war of attrition with many countries supplying Ukraine.

Once mariupol falls, this will free up units to flank and pincer in the east. It's possible they can win still.

There was an interesting read on reddit how the foreign legion fighters mostly have fled or died. Citing lack of gear given to them or overall strategy.

Seems that they went expecting something like Iraq and Afghanistan but once they realized it was just sitting there waiting to be bombed or mortared they left.

In for Fuck 2022 mafia.
