Borderlands Mafia [DAY TWO] - FIRST OFFICIAL GAME OF 2022

[Poyser]

Nah B, I defended you on all that stuff. For me you started to look bad when you openly admitted you wanted to tunnel Jeff even if he was town and you were openly asking mafia to shoot him even if he was a town power roll. You said you didn’t care you just wanted him gone. Nothing good faith about that.

But why would scum do this lol

Why would town do this?

 

[Leon TrotSky]

You egged on people to vote him when you said that Ekko had a point about him but you weren’t really specific about what that point was. Then when it looked like TFW could actually be lynched you said he had looked better, but again you didn’t give any specifics as to why.

like you endorsed the wagon to get it started and then when it looked likely you distanced from it. And people reading back later in the game probably wouldn’t even realise that you helped that wagon get off the ground because you never voted. Feels kinda calculated

Yeah that would be typical "scum keeping a safe distance from a mislynch" tactic

No follow up n no sold my question. Weak

What did I no sell

 

[Comrade Khan]

What did I no sell

U now answered it w ur magic read, no problemo

 

[Poyser]

Why would town do this?

Town say dumb shit due to emotion/for effect literally all the time. Scum aren’t gonna go out of their way to spout off anti town sentiment, or saying they’d shoot the cop lol. Not in a serious manner anyway

I’m a bit torn cos I largely think he’s making good posts and we agree on most of our reads but that TFW stuff just sticks out like a sore thumb

"Too scummy to be scum" rhetoric... Sky is not a fan

Then what’s the game plan because I don’t think this game can survive this Jeff/Ekko thing if it persists throughout each day phase.

Points from me.

I mean if you want to try and oversimplify it into some generic rhetoric then be my guest. Not really what I was saying tho is it

Of course it can if we agree they’re both town. If you think Ekko is scum then push him but don’t push stuff like “this game can’t survive with them tunnelling each other” because of course it can. I’m not about to lynch either of them when I’m pretty hard town on both as it stands

That's clearly what you were going for, though. What you're saying is that town would do a thing that could be found offputting and scum would be too guarded to do it. If we follow that logic enough, it eventually leads to a situation where you'd be scum reading players who play well and carry themselves well

I do think he’s scum and I plan to, but I also don’t think it’s helpful having 100 posts of this each day phase. You don’t think it’s distracting and makes it easier for scum?

There’s a difference between playing badly or playing scummy and outright going out of your way to say stuff you know is gonna be flagged for being anti town. As scum you think about that sort of thing, whereas town you don’t. It makes way more sense for him to say “I’d shoot jeff even if he claimed cop and I’d love it if mafia shot him” when he’s town and really thinks jeff is scum and is arguing with Jeff than it does for him to say that as scum

but in any case you’re not actually making any kind of point for why Ekko is scum, you’re just spouting generic nonsense at me
