Board 8 > Simple Mafia Topic 1: My intro to hosting Mafia

(+) Yeah! (+)

No, you didn't "convince" me of anything.

But given my complete lack of impression of him in those previous games where I had zero skin in it, it's at least forcing me to consider things. I'm still gutting him here.

And perhaps I'm being stubborn, but I can still read the Kirby/bct interaction with Kirby as scum.

I've got a lot of work meetings this afternoon (been reading here during some of the more boring ones so far), but I plan to do a reread with these new possible perspectives in a couple of hours.

I mean, my vote is still on him, after all.

Anyway,

You said you actually thought Lea was in the game though. I just made a cheeky reference to Red and how he decided Isquen was town for out of game reasons. I never thought Red was in the game. Entirely different things

Sbell is town and always was

So you were joking around then, yes? It was just a cheeky reference? Or were you actually serious? Which one is it?

Ctes, I'm not really seeing Ben as town so far. Could you elaborate on your perspective?

No lynches are dumb. Then last game we had someone try to claim no lynch was a master plan despite there being two claimed guilty scans. The fact I had to actually convince people to kill scum instead of giving them a free day is still an embarrassment to everyone involved.

If Sbell didn't flip scum, y'all would have lost the game because of Hb getting modkilled.

Han was absolutely right that No Lynch was the safest play at that point in the game. It just so happened that Sbell offered himself up on a silver platter by the end of that day, making lynching him the optimal play.

I don't get this stupid "no lynch gives scum a free night to kill people". Scum is gonna kill someone tonight regardless of what happens today.

By No Lynching today, we reduce the chances of them killing the Doc or Cop because of more town players in the pool.

What's so difficult to understand about this?

No lynch is objectively the correct play unless you are CERTAIN you are lynching scum. This game has too little in the way of lynches to gamble on without bettering the odds first.

Incorrect.

Han's plan was WRONG.

It was simply wrong because we had CERTAIN scum in front of us to lynch.

Ulti your tone sure changed from "Corrik is a smart guy and people should listen to him more" tune from last game.

I did say if Im being charitable, scum wouldnt push for a no lynch. Thats not why Im voting you tho. You have not given one read so far in this entire game.

I have actually given many reads this game. Including on you . You also said that comment and said everyone but me was town on the no lynch train. lol

##nolynch

I am on this team. making it clear with a vote.

Scum already has the upper hand. let's force them to town clear someone before we really get into the swing of things.

thinkof all the analyzing that can be done day 2.

Town clear someone who... can't provide any useful active dialogue, because they are dead. Sure.

So thinking about No Lynch more, normally I'd be against it but in an open setup and game this small it might be the only play. It will be almost impossible to lynch scum today without outting power, because they can just claim power if they want in the last few minutes to get everyone off.

You get a whole 2 days of existing dialogue. But now with knowledge that someone else is town.

I mean it was both. A true statement made extra true by how funny the wordplay was. I was channeling my inner Lea.

You're getting hung up on dumb things

And possibly a scan or a doc save confirming more information.

If we hammer this no lynch early, maybe we can get day 2 up today. *sideways glance*

It's -1 on No Lynch now. I at least want to give my final thoughts after I get home from work and can re-read the day

Dont hammer please

TheSultanOfSlam posted...

I slightly disagree like I stated earlier 2 things scum Ulti does is 1.make a shit ton of Jokes and 2. Claim scum as scum but in a not obvious way.( does not always though)

Ulti plays scum differently depending on his role, his teammates, and time in the game.

I like this take from Ben its small and probably not significant but i give him a brownie point

You can tell Ulti and I aren't scummates because I haven't bussed him yet. :D

Screw Ben

Leeeeroyyyyyyyyyyy

##vote: No Lynch

I'm going to sleep for work and won't be here at deadline.

if you guys stray from the golden path. Lynch Isquen, Ben, or Ulti. Thanks.

After a game you literally spent all game trying not to bus a single teammate of yours at any point all game. heh.

I disagree with no lynch but its obviously happening so ill see you guys day 2, I don't think anything substantial is going to happen at this point.

Corrik gets jokes.

Joke phase is over.

You were never voting No Lynch, Sbell. So it's still -1.

Kirby, Sultan, Ulti, Corrik, IGCD just 5

oh, I thought I voted...

didn't I vote?

if you had voted properly it would have been a hammer

huh, that's some funny shit right there.

Well me and Ben are Mason buddies, just wanted to give him a chance.

He can tell you over night in your mason chat. Now hammer so I can get Day 2 up in 4 hours. Scum.

Well I was gunna, bit you ended it with scum. and now my feelings are hurt.

Ctes, I'm not really seeing Ben as town so far. Could you elaborate on your perspective?

I simply realized why he called IGCD town and I don't see why a scum Ben would point that out. It's not enough for me to think he's town but it's enough for me to reconsider.

SBell does not have a power "nolynch" though he has lost his lunch. Please specify that you are voting per voting conventions.

Is that what I was supposed to say?

ON TARGET VOTALS
[5] No Lynch - (Corrik), Kirby, Sultan, Ulti, Corrik, IGCD
[1] IGCD - Isquen
[1] Isquen - Peaf, (Sultan)
[0] Ben - (IGCD), (Kirby), (ctes)
[0] Corrik - (Ulti), (IGCD)
[0] ctes - (Sultan)
[0] Kirby - (Ulti), (Ben), (IGCD), (Kirby)
[0] Peaf - (IGCD)
[0] SBell - (Sultan)

Day ends at 7 pm Central (4.5 hours from now) or when majority is reached.

Well, if you're scum, corrik, you did a phenomenal job stifling discussion for more than half of the topic. Congratulations, and well-played.

It's very interesting how ulti flip-flopped as hard as he did today. Changing your mind, sure, whatever, but to go from the staunch never NL a few pages ago to now voting for it? Whack.

You disagree with it... so you vote for it. Yeah totally makes sense.

Peaf I promise we can lynch a warm body tomorrow

It is whack, but Ulti always does that. He just sounds very confident always, so when he changed his mind it can seem really drastic.

Jeez guys I'm reading as fast as I can even though I'm not off for another 2 and half hours. Dont end it yet. And there is no way host would do a quick night phase so that's not a valid reason to rush. Corrik is striking me as someone who has no fear of dying tonight which I dont like considering he would be target #1 in my eyes

I agree there's no way we're getting day 2 in four hours.

Ben, sbell, and ctes don't have votes down. Sbell hasn't even placed one at all during the day, despite his attempt.
