Midnight Mass Mafia Game Thread — Game ended.

[Smart Marx]

I see

Well two red flags seems like a good reason vote me, surprised you haven't yet

Sky isn't moving her vote, btw, but good catch.

 

[Marty McFourth]

Discussion is the right direction but if it ends up on tweet so be it

I heavily dislike the bolded if Tweet isn't scum

 

[Marty McFourth]

You're like number 3 on my list of priorities rn, I'd say you don't have to worry D1

I heavily dislike the bolded if Tweet isn't scum

That whole line of reasoning is very odd. Especially Zinger's response later this morning to Sky.

 

[Comrade Khan]

"Your wish has been granted"

Vote Pendex

ok he did vote back in the end

 

[Leon TrotSky]

My goal for today is to be as unobstrusive as possible, if I see something I don't like you'll definitely know about it

It's not all about the things you dislike. Do you like the way the current votes are being cast?

 

[Lethal]

All I know is that they "played" one game and gimmick posted the whole time

I thought it was a PR.

Their use of the word dipping does seem weird. An A.I. (I assume) gimmick wouldn't logically use that word.

Vote Pendex

This stands out to me the most from my skim so far. In TPB, my man Jonny seemed hesitant to vote yet he quickly follows Poyser in here.

 

[Comrade Khan]

So if I learned anything from this interaction it's that Sky and Pendex probably aren't aligned at least if one flips scum

lol, yes.

 

[Lethal]

I'm gonna' give Junk a slight town lean for her early posts and softing, it's a bit naive but

What exactly about Junk pinged you for a slight town lean? I recognise you've said it's naive, but it's generally piqued my interest

It could have been a bad way to phrase it on his part, but the 'so be it'

They're not on me so yeah can't complain

 

[Lethal]

I mean, I'm not asking for your Mafia philosophy lectures here. It has served me pretty well in my time playing. I never claimed there were no false positives to it, but the liklihood of scum getting to go through a whole game defending under pressure townies only is a pretty slim one, so at some point they'll probably have to defend themselves or defend scum. This is not to say townies cannot commit fallacies either.

If you're going to come at me with Mafia philosophy, don't be surprised if I fire back with the same

A couple of things to unpack here:

What is this, if not explaining Mafia philosophy?


The argument you say you're making is the opposite of what you're making. You say that "scum commit fallacies", yet by sussing Poyser the point you're actually making is "anyone who commits fallacies is scum", which is wrong.

Sky with some fire and receipts here. Never seen this from her before and that's both impressive and concerning.

Not a great phrasing, but his whole thing was as long as we discuss it, any direction is good. At least that's my vibe check.

 

[Marty McFourth]

Fair question

The below really, it's pretty weak. I just feel like Junk coming out with that little soft is probably good for her. Need to see more out of her

I’m town and I’m freee

You all are gonna hate the role I drew

I was expecting more specific thoughts like, say: Jonny's hopping on and off Pendex, Tweet's weird voting, even my own insistence on sticking to the Pendex direction when even Poyser isn't. Just... be substantiative somehow
