Prey At Night: The Strangers Mafia Game Thread

I’m getting better at the acronyms but you’re gonna have to explain YMMV to me dude

Your Mileage May Vary. It's not a mafia term, just more a general acronym.

I thought it was ancient Roman speak.

Even then I set smark up to coast to endgame as I went down, never would have been lynched in a million years

Unfortunately i made him look too good so the SK popped him

RIP, mafia had that game won and it became such a shitshow at the end lol

I dislike the idea that only for a certain level of player is it NAI. The sitting back could equally be a townie with a power role not trying to slip up early.

Well of course not, it's nuanced. Hence why I said it was a VIBE.

Also just ftr I wouldn't automatically assume someone sitting back early game is scum. That kind of tell for me only works one way, which is when someone DOES try to assert themselves on the game early. For myself and the people mentioned it def would not be enough to read them town, but for a lot of people it's a decent enough starting point

I think I can see where McHenry was coming from as well. He explained his view that he’s had his posts - specifically his openings - misconstrued in the past to it follows to me that he wanted to be additionally cautious how he was coming across. I can see a town motivation for wanting to do that.

Not sure how Sky takes a post that says, "Just trying to make an effort at being active since I'm pretty busy" and twists it into, "I'm admitting I'm just trying to look town here, folks!"

Seems like a logical step. Game-relevant activity early is seen as town > do some game related activity early to seem town

Though we've established in a recent game that my logic is completely on a different planet than everyone else apparently

Fair enough. Not something I’ve ever come across alas.

So I have eearly town on Johnson and Skybox

Should be easy, only 11 players left to sort

The question, therefore, is: I'm asserting myself early. Am I seeming town?

Oh wow, nice ninja

I mean, I get that, but do you think, using your logic, that there would be a scum motivation to say this pretty openly for "easy town points"? Or would that fall under WIFOM?

Jumping from Super Role Madness to a Light Game is certain a shock to the system on role alone. Good luck to everyone and hope this game is fun.
