Prey At Night: The Strangers Mafia Game Thread

[Leon TrotSky]

dont have time for a deep dive - so will offer one last quick before i immerse myself in Full Gear

Evans - Town [your exchange nows reads as town vs town]
Mando - I would see frustrated town. lord knows you can be annoying, when you think you are correct.
Poyser - is town telling - but could do this as scum
Lethal - hard to tell. focusing on me is something he has a habit as of late
RDK - no real content for me - still null
John - could have equity if Blaine flips mafia

So you're saying both of Ekko's biggest conflicts are town/town

you look at most games on WG - not sure about OLF as those are more ranked based - Ekko is a massive town vs town person in early game. when he is wrong, he validates he was right because the town person "was acting scummy"

Nothing out of the ordinary.



Othering a bit of recent game time offers insight, that its not the first game or mafia interactions completely since the last game he played on WS/WC.



brought up being rusty again. not sure why you would bring it up again. perhaps building up to, im just an innocent townie. dont look in this direction.


unlikely to make this comment if both are mafia. could offer an out for Barry, if Blaine flips mafia. [LOOK BACK 1]



this feels a little bit cautious. an element of wanting to survive. more of a mafia day one approach than town, who knows high percentage a town member fall in first lynch.


a personal put down is a great way to dismiss "mistakes" and "incorrect votes" later down the line.


this is fence sitting disguised as offering reads.


a tad of irony - as Blaine has been offering a lot of filler this game already himself.


if Grim is town and Blaine is mafia - this point can be circled back to [LOOK BACK 1]


town leaning, but no confidence that Grim is town? this doesn't make any sense. more fence sitting.



Not even throwing down an initial scum read or rather unwilling to - I don't understand either.


These post just feel like recycled coasting to survive the day and nothing more.

Honestly, its not enough for full confidence but there are certainly a few red flag here. If this was a 20-32 player game it would probably be a less cautious feeling, but I do feel this is the right move.

VOTE: BLAINE

not bad actually..i only read the last paragrpah before so missed some of this initially.

happy to pressure it alongside the other scum reads

For that to work that would require him to literally never push a scumboi as town early game

I find that highly unlikely

i belive it because i dont think this is the game u will break ur history of claiming indies

but

fook indies, u can be a backup lynch if town is confused where to go

Do you believe town will need a backup lynch? Doesn't strike me as a plausible issue for this game, given the activity levels.

ratch can validiate that Ekko as of late has been in a lot of town vs. town situations as of late.

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

he could - but Ekko would probably be more reserved as scum. Seems to be far too commited already

Hard to say he's too committed to be scum when he was pushed to the forefront early on in the day. Like, it's either flop like a fish and die, or fight your ass off from multiple people.

But it wouldn't - the point was that they don't have an issue with his main pushes being on town in regards to his alignment. All it requires is evidence he has low accuracy reads Day 1. There is absolutely nothing in there that requires him to always be completely wrong.

 

[CakeWalker]

Ekko more likely to be SK than mafia - based on this day 1. do think it would be a mistake to lynch him today though.

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

And knowing Ekko's reputation as a player, I'd be far more inclined to think he'd fight harder even if he was scum.

I mean sure, but only insofar as anyone can be. I have had my fair share to say around some of his play in those games, but it wasn't really over who he was pushing as opposed to how he was doing it, or whatever else he happened to be doing.

In other words, I take your point, but I don't think it really matters beyond whether you believe he can misread players a lot early as town. Once that's established, there is nothing else really to add to the point.
