Alphabet Mafia: The Potato Wars Game Thread

Ok, but would it not concern you that somebody is accusing you of misrepresenting events if you were town? Would it not maybe make you question whether Odo might not have bad intentions?

Honestly I was more focused on our discussion and when I saw Odo's post I basically assumed it to mean Odo disagreed that your posts were made to softly exist around him, which essentially is just us reading your intentions differently.

 

[Odo]

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying here - my whole point is that in that scenario, if I were scum, I'd be less likely to try flip attention back on to Poyser and would rather target lower-hanging fruit?

I’m saying you presenting your defence as ‘I would never counterpush a strong player as scum, therefore I must be town’ doesn’t carry any weight

 

[Odo]

Fucks sake I can still see her quoted posts

 

[Alco]

Because you're a better player - and I don't think its a real vote.

Okay but if that's the case and given you've expressed I might be town in your previous post, what would my reason be then for voting Ace here?
I don't see how those two match.

 

[Ace]

Yeah I should clarify again that the term throwaway is probably not the right one, I mean more that as early day 1 votes I see them as less threatening in terms of being on the lynch block than, say, if we're a couple days in.

Certainly if I was scum I don't think I'd be worried enough to rashly OMGUS Poyser out of a panic and I'm genuinely surprised that people who've played with scum me think that this is a likely play of mine in this scenario.

A throwaway vote - a random vote - pressure at the start of a game.

Just badly placed.

Town players always be fighting town players on day one - you should be paying attention to the player that has claimed 'which I dont buy' to have put someone who scum reads them on ignore.

So your argument is I should not say "I would never" but rather "I would be less likely to"? ie the absolutes are the problem?

If so, that's just petty lol.

It’s not petty at all, it clues me in to your mindset. Word choice matters you know

Good spot tbh, not sure how you're both town and "faking" votes.

I'm not sure why that word choice matters at all but whatever, you do you.

The irony.

Well, you wouldn’t, would you?

Odo 100% flips mafia this game.

 

[Odo]

But to put it in plain terms, it matters because it makes the manner in which you are defending yourself less genuine

 

[CakeWalker]

Ace you should just throw you Potato at Odo at this point.
