WS Mafia VI: End of an Era - GAME THREAD

[Junkette]

I mean, I am historically in no way, shape or form a Day 1 player (outside of shooting Jam).

I typically don't even put full reads lists out early cause it's mostly just vibes at this point, but I felt like it would be a thing to do here.

I also don't remember playing in a Big Brother Mafia game, but if I won MVP in it, I'm more than happy to re-experience it.

It’s not about being a day 1 player, it’s about you giving bad town reasons to rescind a town lean, are you a bad town player? No so you’re scum.

I might be getting the game wrong, but I MVP’d that as SK despite losing tbh.

Me in 2010.
Mafia in forum got popular around 2008.
Not sure how guill says he has 20+ years.
Probably he means the game kids play In school?
Or maybe he was part of some underground forum.

Wait, kids play Mafia in school where you are??

There's no benefit to not walking it back if I can't stand behind it, so whatever. I know it looks how it looks.

 

[Junkette]

Retep coming out with a Bizarro World read list actually makes me feel better on him - surely no scum teammate would allow him to pursue this avenue

I don’t think anyone tells Peter what to do in a scum QT tbh. And bizzare reads aren’t really incriminating but bad town logic is.

The first time I'd played it was in a college class I took in high school like 10 years ago lol I just didn't know the forum version existed until it came here

How do you feel about him now walking back the Ekko read?

This is about a claim that should have no real bearing making you doubt a town lean you had, that’s not something I’d see you putting any weight on if you were town and not scum trying to look good off my flip while simultaneously leaving me open later because of “the claim”.

Typical considering what I’m saying about him.

My first Mafia experience (such as it can be called that) was One Night Ultimate Werewolf at a friend's house party in I believe it was 2014. Good times huh. I no longer speak to her

Right, but that's why I don't really do reads lists. I prefer to be able to let my thoughts settle so I don't get into debates about "Well, what changed?" when it was only ever a lean to begin with. Or having it cited like I was sure of something at the time. I prefer to have my blues mean something.

I guess what I'm saying there is that I should've just left them in null and let the notes speak for themselves. I think I ultimately shifted them over to blue to put my thumb down on the scale for POE purposes since leaving them black would've just been an abstention, and there are other players I would've rather looked at first.

Other thing worth noting is that (especially in reading 100 pages in a row), I tend to skim more for other aspects of posts/interactions than the content itself.

I don't always even open the scum QT 'til Night 1 half the time.

I miss QTs. Scum PM threads really just aren't the same. (Going off last game here.)

Just because you operate a certain way doesn't mean that everybody else does.

I've reiterated it a few times, but I have zero interest in pursuing you as a suspect and am pretty generally operating under the idea that you're town. If you're annoyed that you don't get your name in a specific color, again, just chalk that up to not wanting to put folks in solid blue unless I really feel like I'm not going to change that at any point. And there are scenarios where you're scum tracker and the phase plays out as it did.

Surely, by now I've done more than enough that there's no benefit I could be trying to reap from your flip, which as I've said several times, is probably going to be town. We're at the point where I'm just explaining myself to try to get us on the same page more than anything else.

Remember what I said last game about how I play relative to my confidence in my claim saving me from getting lynched? It's one of those games.

 

[RetepAdam.]

Should I have put Ekko in light blue? No, probably not.

Do I feel differently about him (and, again, Jeff, for that matter) than the rest of y'all seem to? At least somewhat.

 

[Chris]

I think Junk's "bad town play" that she's referring to is more to do with you saying you read her town before she claimed but downgraded it after. If you thought she was town before, shouldn't you just think she's a town tracker now since you had her play as town before it?

And if thats not what junk was referring to, I'd like elaboration on it myself either way lol

Ah disregard my post, you've elaborated here.
