Love Boat 2 [Mafia] |OT| Electric Boogalove

I didn't even piece together that this was you responding to that argument because it just reads like an insult. I mean it clearly is responding to those posts, I just didn't read it that way at the time. The posts that I made in question were so tonally neutered (the ones at the start of day #2). I wasn't being arrogant at all when I wrote those. I'm assuming that this isn't actually how you felt at the time and you just knee-jerk insulted me because you were upset. You've gotta see tho that this behavior just doesn't feel sincere, which feeds into my argument with you

I was fully serious.

But I guess it doesn't matter anyway.

I'll do this: UNVOTE and discuss something real quick. Have fun.

Let's talk Ouro and Flush then.

Well, I don't know much about Flush. I think Ouro is a very plausible candidate to lynch today.

I said in the last day phase that I didn't think, with how the votes positioned, that one of those players could be scum and not the other one (Ouro vs. FEP). I'll have to go back and look at how they were positioned at the time to see what was making me think that but that will be later on, ~maybe tonight I can try to figure out where I was coming from
 
Are you scum reading anyone right now, then?

Of course. I'm 95% sure Ourokitty is Scum.

I have no other strong Scum reads. There are several people I could imagine being Scum (aka Nulls and slight scumlean):
- Darryl's hunt for Smuffin actually left me a bit insecure about them.
- Sawrian still haven't really redeemed themselves.
- Darryl/Nin are playing like always, which unfortunately means they have almost no connections at all (Nin) or very strong connections but only to very few players (Darryl). So solid Null
- CzarSketch are basically absent.
- Trigger and Ty4on are an interesting case. Trigger is basically a non-entity and Ty4on is capable and non-committal enough that I don't trust any interactions of him with kits/FEP. including the vote. However, monkey thinks rather high of them. I will probably follow her lead here for now, but it doesn't mean I personally particullary Town read them


Heck, let's make it a full list:
- Crimsonphia still are a solid townread.
- I don't see that a pressured newbie scum (kits) wants to make or gets talked into making an in-depth read about somebody and the picks or gets told to pick a scummate for it. That's at the moment my main argument in favor of fran. His play doesn't strike me as odd either, so probably town
- XKark had a solid D2 despite the D1 nothingness. Lean slightly Town.
- Natiko Sparks seem okay so far



monkey gave off positive first impressions fwiw. Great motivation to play and solve, wants it more (WIM)
Glad you like my new girlfriend. She's great!
 
Should probably say "He can discuss with Nin"

A Muffin/Samurai and Darryl/Nin scum team would be kinda mindblowing lol

I think the intention was more like

Muffin <-gamethread-> Nin <-private chat-> Darryl

and the "discuss" therefore really meant to mean Nin, but the private chat for Nin to speak for Darryl. That's how I read it at least. Doesn't matter either way, because I agree that there is no way Muffin and Darryl are in the same Scum team.

Star I could definitely see being scum at this point, but I'd much rather see Ouro lynched first and see where that leaves us. The TLDR from my analysis in my lover chat as far as my scum leans was:

Ouro/kk

Royal/monkey
Star/Czar

Kark/Xbro (Put up in Ouro's tier if Ouro flips scum)
Sophia/Crim

Based on today so far I would bump samurai and muffin up to that bottom tier of scum lean.

Do you think being role blocked twice by the same boat is more likely than being role blocked by two different boats?

Also, Star voted you yesterday, so it's possible you weren't blocked N1 and she drew the wrong conclusion

I doubt it because considering both nights it appears nothing happened and we were only silenced last night

A couple of things here. You said that the Silencer was likely Scum, and the 'Roleblocker' was likely scum as well. What are your thoughts on each of them now with this in mind?

Well she wouldn't know that we targeted them, only that she was targeted

And sure, I can see it being a possibility that there is a roleblocker on both sides but it seems swingy. More likely to assume solely a scum RB

The Silencer could be neutral (or Town, but I think that's the least likely option). Willing to bet money that the RB is scum though, especially since Town had a virgin

We know that scum has a roleblocker already as there must be a hooker in play.

What we are unable to do is verify Ouro's claim.

He hasn't actually claimed yet.

Starting to wonder if they're neutral, with the playing in a way to avoid a night kill, item handing out related role, targeting players who are unlikely to be night killed and being cagey around actually claiming.

Nope. Town.

As wonderful as my neutral claim was in GAFIA 2, I was scum that game and needed to have a fake claim. This time I don't need to, but I also don't need scum to know the extent of how useful it is.

That could be. Could explain too conflicts with people who probably aren't on teams.

He claimed a PR. He just didn't said what it is.

The role read in the OP says we need to kill everyone who is against our faction. Whether that includes neutrals or not is up to semantics really, but my immediate lean is towards no neutrals
 
Technically neither

Considering I have essentially been wasting scum's RB for (possibly) two nights, I will gladly let them continue to do so. Hence not fully claiming yet.

Nope. Town.

As wonderful as my neutral claim was in GAFIA 2, I was scum that game and needed to have a fake claim. This time I don't need to, but I also don't need scum to know the extent of how useful it is.

I'm not super versed in all the possible roles, so it could well be that I'm missing something obvious, but these different answers don't seem to make sense together to me. Didn't strike before as you were saying it's super useful. Now it is?

I didn't understand the bolded. Can you explain what you wanted to say?

Meaning if they are neutral, it could explain how kitty and Ouro do seem to have some conflicts/callouts on teams one would assume to be different sides. But now I'm considering and thinking that there's really no reason Schmuffin and Sawrian couldn't both be scum if Ourokitty isn't. And I'm looking back at votes and I think Ourokitty is pretty consistent with what I'd call scummy voting patterns at this point, if two days can produce a pattern. fep's weird like two second vote on Ouro stands out to me, for one, and voting kitty and then saying kitty was a bright spot is another. I dunno. I guess there are other people who seem more split across possible "sides" than Ourokitty. I'm sorry, I should be hanging back since I'm not full attention right now (but it's so hard to stay away!)

I am intentionally being vague. I've outright stated I'm not a cop or a doc, but our role can be useful, though maybe not as much as those roles. Basically if we get roleblocked in lieu of scum hitting something like that, I'll consider it a win.
 

Sorian

Banned
To be fair I think I was the first vote on Sorian? Or at least the first one that stuck. The read I had on him was some gut, some because of my poor read of kitsune. The fact that kitsune was most likely the least powerful of the scum roles doesn't really mean much as far as those who voted them out, hoping for Town cred.

FEP was actually the first one to make any sort of argument against me, you sheeped him because you had a hard on for defending kitsune and him and obviously weren't going to vote yourself.

He was trying to get an Ouro wagon going, and only voted Kitsune in the end out of self preservation despite scum reading them for a while.

Right, because I think they're both scum and wanted to force the two of them to be competing wagons.

Do you think your Silence and your role block are from the same source, ie a 2in1?

I see this shit. Don't think doubling down makes it better.

I quoted Sam to intending to bash down that claim that we were only voting Ouro for him being silenced or whatever but the multiquote didn't put it in here and everyone else already said what I wanted to so not important.

To slight edit, FEP was the first one to make an argument that lead into that roll on of votes. Obviously others have been on my case for awhile like Royal and Darryl.

I wanted to throw Sorian under the bus because his play this game has been super aggressive, and fat wasn't doing a hell of a lot while he was here. Saw stepped in but despite an increase in activity doesn't erase Fat's posts

Ouro is claiming that he was roleblocked and silenced. That means that 2 roles targeted him?
I mean either I was roleblocked last night or you are lying about not getting a notification. Or I guess if there is a switcher involved somewhere, but if that was the case I'd still expect the end target to say something.

Yes, if he wasn't silenced day 1 and Star/Tim didn't claim anything then that is clearly the case.

It's like a daisy chain. Now everyone can think I am scum next when you flip scum.

The roleblocker is most likely scum so either Ouro is scum lying about the role or the silencer has to be either neutral or town as it makes no sense to scum to double down on a target.

Eh, I can see it.

1) I can't explain my night actions since they seemingly never went anywhere
2) I can't coordinate with my partner in private to find a way to navigate the oncoming lynch train

There's nothing forcing the roleblocker or the silencer to be scum imo. That's also not even starting conversation on if the roleblocker is a real thing or not or if the silencer is scum and just didn't target anyone last night.

We have Virgins. Likelihood of a scum hooker is high.

How did scum knew that you have a role and that it would inform your targets of your action?

That doesn't make sense.

Reread Vere & WAMD flip. There is a hooker in the game.
