Prison Break Mafia Game Thread

to answer re: why,

I’ve made it a habit to go after bigger players in recent games as scum as it draws a town read with the WIFOM of “would scum EV risk going after Poyser if he’s scum knowing that Poyser is a better player and could easily pick him apart?”

I don’t see the town motivations with how that whole thing was set up and how it transitioned from serious vote > reaction test > botch exactly when the pressure started building.

happy to hear more about Junks meta tho as it’s something I’m not familiar with.

but to me, looks like Junk was the first scum to be active and she went for it to try and get an early town read and teammates have arrived to say “hold onnnn slow down!”

im not saying what you do as scum isnt a play that certain players go for. i just dont think it's one she goes for as she wouldnt want to put herself in a vulnerable position.

the town motivations is simply to get the game going and gauge reads on certain people and im sure, if she's town, she would think it would net a read on me and she finds that valuable. that is a standard town motivation right? "the game just started, i want to make the game progress and cause a reaction test to generate reads". i mean lots of players do the same thing and to an extent im sure odo's initial push on junk isnt dissimilar as he's already alluded to junk's erratic play not being as fruitful for potential wagon reads if she flips town due to her behaviour. the difference is simply in execution and it's much easier for me to see town junk fucking up the execution of this play than her being scum and thinking this would make her look good because it's not a play i see her do often. im not saying i cant be wrong, i just dont see it.

Jeff seems more out there then he was last game, not sure where Hank is getting his reads from, Jeff mentioned bad town which is possible but I can’t really see any town player voting Jeff over Tweet rn and that is concerning.

Junk seemed to latch to Odo last game and did well, can you see Junk being more confident off of the back of that performance and trying riskier plays?

 

[Evans]

Saying that, do you think Junk was doing similar here, trying to gain your read via poor play and then cosy up with a stronger player to try and make it obvious that she’s town so she survives?

i want to wait until others are back

unvote


mostly cause im unsure on tweet vs jeff and dont want it to get locked in on those two before others arrive and comment.

This is all I got, I thought Junks entrance sucked ass and I think your case on me also sucks ass. I'm sure you don't like it but these are my contributions thus far.

you have no town reads?

 

[Junkette]

I barely latched on to Odo, the pressure I put on Poyser was my own doing, don’t discredit my play thank you.

I'm not willing to rule it out completely but her posts didn't feel premeditated or planned. Felt very reactionary.

So you’re comparing a good town performance with a potential scum performance? How does that correlate?

... lol

 

[Evans]

my point was pretty clear

 

[Evans]

Saying that confidence earned in a town game can only be carried into another town game and wouldn’t having any bearing on a potential scum performance is silly

 

[Junkette]

So you’re saying that because I did it as town your saying I’d cozy on up to a player now? Have I been doing that? Pretty sure Magic voted with me on Tweet, not the other way around.

Town games are town games, scum games are scum games.
