Prey At Night: The Strangers Mafia Game Thread

[Poyser]

that post aside do u read her town or scum?

It’s that post that’s giving me a read though, so it makes no sense to ask this question

“putting aside the reason you read her as town, would you read her as town or scum”?

without that post I doubt I’d have any read on her at all, but I’m pretty confident that my reasons are good. Maybe I’ll end up being wrong but these kinds of reads usually end up being right in my experience

i agree however with posyer that mando can also just be mafia too instead of indie, my reasoning for indie reading him is weak anyway. in either case he is prioritizing survival over solving, which is not a townie trait

This is funny. How can I solve if I’m fucking dead

 

[Poyser]

no ur misunderstanding the context of it

scum benefits from wasting town's time. if he is certain his team wont let him be lynched, he can just waste alot of time and defend himself around end of day to pivot to me or somewhere else

defending himself at 2 AM when its couple of hours in the day is USUALLY not a behavior a scum does, unless they r rookies and really panicked about the initial accusation

This is just something you’ve made up man

 

[Mandalorian]

I don’t know what Ekko wants from me still at this point, I’ve answered almost everything that he’s put to me. It’s also hyper hypocritical that he’s saying I’m too busy defending myself and not spending time elsewhere solving when he keeps asking me questions and then demanding answers if I’ve not responded within 5 minutes at 4 o’clock in the morning.

I disagree with almost every point that he has made this game and I definitely think he’s posting first and thinking later, and the justifications he has to bring are making him look worse.

I am very confident that he is mafia and is just becoming desperate now, with the asking people to unvote and getting argumentative (although I don’t care much for Evans approach in that regard either). Like I’ve said, I could have excused all of this as a bad read that he wants to do but he’s tripled down on the explaining null reads thing still trying to push which makes no sense.

Offering thoughts on reads, even null ones, is something that does and can help town and to try to stifle someone trying to take a balanced view is not town play and his subsequent actions are enough to convince me that it’s just scum.

I think Ekko absolutely has to be the lynch today. I’m more than confident that he’s scum and regardless of flip that’s the one that gives us the most information.

I can put my vote where ever I want. Just holding caution when you are at 50% majority, with two people at zero posts and still a large amount of time left seems logical. Gives you some time to town tell too.

Ok this is a weird post lol. Ekko essentially called your bluff there and you revealed you were in fact bluffing. Why say you are unvoting in case he claims cop/doctor out of nowhere if that’s not actually the case?

 

[Poyser]

Please explain this rationale

It actually makes perfect sense lol

town are generally fairly happy to just be like “yeah I don’t have a read on this dude. Null” because obviously that’s real. When a scum doesn’t want to commit to a read or doesn’t feel like that have the material to do so, they may put them null but be wary that they’ll get called out for fence sitting or otherwise providing nothing so they’ll feel the need to explain why they only have them as null

 

[Poyser]

I kinda missed all that Mando and ekko stuff. Maybe cos of ekko being spammy with others. I’ll get to it in time though.
As for reading players,

Avoided? Not at all. But nice try of putting words into my fingers

No. There’s thoughts there, you can do the homework.

Solid run? You most recently rage quit into a lynch lol.

Lmao turn a little heat and he goes with the subtle omgus

Why aren’t you a fan of it? How would you expect me to provide a post of 30+ pages of content? You can’t see Evans position with Poyser? Obviously it changes now cos of his exchange with Ekko but it was there to start with. You don’t think Sky obsessing over small details is concerning?

You didn’t feel the need to address this in your original comment about me. So I’d be silly to assume you’ve been advised to do so in your wolf chat, no? If you want my read of you sweetums all you’ve got to do is ask
Null, fwiw

This kinda seems scum to me kek

Hard disagree and I am honestly shocked you’re still siding with him on this.

Because there’s almost certainly going to be people who will just see “Poyser - null” and demand an explanation as to why there’s no read for someone who has been active in the game.

Where is your read on Ekko at the moment and do you agree that lynch is where we get the most amount of information on other players?

 

[Poyser]

That's much better.

lol what? Why?
Can you tell me a stance he took in those posts?
All I got was he is happy to jump on the Ekko sus and he gave literally nothing else except trying to wind people up

 

[Poyser]

I think an Ekko Poyser team likely hood is increasing. Poyser Seemed closer to town for me but then at some point lets Ekko convince him man is a good target mean time Ekko starts going after Evans.

Ekkos been dragging Man through the dirt almost like tmi even though everyone but he and Poyser have basically said this seems typical of Man play D1 seems to me Ekko felt that the train wasn't going to bear fruit and switched to Evans. He's called them both out for minimalistic play, but has left me alone which I find sus if this is his true motivations for going after these two? Also if this is the motivation for going after people why hasn't he gone after RDT or the two people yet to post at all?

Ekko knew Man wasn't happening and jumped on Evans .

Vote Ekko

You have man as town? Why?

and “this is typical man D1 play” doesn’t really cut it lol. What is typical of him as scum?

 

[Poyser]

Lethal looks like town

 

[Poyser]

Again it goes back to why man?

The entire basis for going at man in the first place has been pretty established as typical play? Why is he letting myself rdk lethal and two non posters skate?

He doesn't care for man's excuses. But why not play the game. Man's offline interact with some others? There's more than 1 scum in the game. Again I feel like it's an I know man is town I know if I apply the right pressure he might do something people will read scummy and then wolf has a town lynch out of the gate.

He wasn’t going after man for being inactive though? Why are you trying to paint it as that

 

[Poyser]

Bingo.

This is exactly why I was openly cautious about OMGUS etc. Like I said earlier, this is something Poyser has done to me in the past which is why his play concerns me as it feels similar to last time.

Lmao what are you talking about?

 

[Poyser]

Like that’s such a dumb post by John so to reply and be like “bingo” is hilarious. You’re just agreeing with him because he’s fallen where you want him to fall

John is basically saying that continually pushing someone = I know this guy is town but if I keep applying pressure then he might slip. Like what??? Town continually push people literally all the time

 

[Poyser]

Off what

Yeah I don’t get that town read at all lmao

wouldn’t surprise me if lethal is town tho and rdk showing TMI here cos he thinks he should be able to read lethal easy etc. probably why it’s the only read he’s tried to make up to where I am so far
