A Good Day to Die Hard: Mafia with a Vengeance [Game Thread]

[Marty McFourth]

Poyser is an interesting one because I know he was starting to hate playing scum but on a timeline basis (from scum fatigue perspective) that was a while ago now and it's not like he's ever actually been less active despite not wanting to play as scum. I'm just taking his "ill not be as active as I used to be" post at face value for now and will attempt to read him as and when he gets on without trying to use his activity as a basis for a read

Yea, I agree. It's going to take me a while to get a firm read really, and I'd never use activity as a means to read Poyser. He's not somebody who'd need to use it as a crutch.

I thought I was the first person to question Jeff as there was mostly fluff before I posted?

It was only really a lean from what I can see until Haza arrived

Def not gonna be sussing Poyser on activity, pretty sure he's said one of his scum strategies is clogging the thread with arguments anyway lol

Do you currently have reads that aren't just leans?

He made one of the points I made before I did but just with a little less gusto, which was basically that Jeff's sentimental post about needing to start playing the game seemed a bit like show as he never did anything after that to show he cared about it happening

Which is what I was trying to get at. He seems emboldened by more people showing up

To be fair, not really,

I'd group Zinger in this too, he literally asked Jeff about Poyser and then they both just kept joking after. No attempt at actually solving anything after the initial question even though that was allegedly the goal

Then how do you feel about him openly abstaining from voting with me. Wouldn't that be the play for an emboldened player who had already made one of the points I used with my vote?

Fair enough. Haza basically put in to words what I was saying better than I did. Chris too. So I can see where you're coming from. I wouldn't say I was riding the coattails though, as I made the first real swipe just with less conviction than Haza and it was mostly fluff before then.

Swamps shoulda signed up to this, he would have loved all this burger talk

I would never know if he posted tbh

It's a fair shout, I still think Zinger vibed town to me though. It would depend on what he actually does as the game progresses more, but definitely found their interaction interesting.

Feels very not nice, like the sort of thing scum would do

 

[Leon TrotSky]

But everything is very much up in the air because basically nothing has happened

I dunno tbf, I think he's argumentative as either alignment, just dependent on what he'll argue about.

Poyser can correct me though but I feel he definitely gets into the Semantics hole as scum and uses that to frame his play to look town.
