Forum Revival TV Tropes Mafia Revival - D7

[mewtini]

Basically seri specced in his very first post around the idea of Butterfree assigning more important roles manually to people she trusted more, which Butterfree obviously immediately denied.

oh. wtf. gotcha. yeah i remembered that discussion in earlythread, i just didn't know what they were even asking her about really. ty

What are your thoughts on that point?

If serimachi is ever confirmed mafia, one of the Old Timers™ is all but confirmed to be the mafia don

 

[Keldeo]

If serimachi is ever confirmed mafia, one of the Old Timers™ is all but confirmed to be the mafia don

If that were true, why would he speculate on it in the thread?

seri asked that so early though. do we even know that they know who the bigshots here are? (since they're not tcod-familiar iirc?)

"serimachi's mindset of 'there not being enough to go on' has been consistent throughout this game"

i don't necessarily think that you can make a broad statement of this based on 4 posts? my suspicion isn't about inconsistency, it's that it feels.... fake? to me? overly-naive?
i'm not scumlocked on serimachi but it's my best lynch idea right now

hypothetically, it's entirely possible that mafiachat just talked about how experienced they were in relation to each other. maybe n0, since it was early in the day he said that.

 

[mewtini]

i'm ngl i just think serimachi is a dead end, when inactive lynching remains a last resort and the day is young. i don't think that post is quite as LAMIST as the one herbe later quoted, i just want to voice that idk if this matters 100% yet

I think this matters 15% at most rn, but since we’re talking about it, wynaut?

so - i don't think it matters yet because seri is currently (and likely will be, at least until next day phase) in the inactive-lynch pile. i'd rather try to get somewhere with something more solid than that, but i def wasn't against toying with it for a bit since we don't have any other ideas i think? at least i really do not rn, not to the point of campaigning for anything

Herbe/mewtini, talk to me about how you feel about the thoughts "serimachi's mindset of 'there not being enough to go on' has been consistent throughout this game" and "that makes serimachi town"? Without looking back I believe in the first and idk how I feel about the second but it would be nice I guess.

are you asking about these two things independently, or in tandem?

Also, thoughts on Eifie's villa read on serimachi's thought that the roles were not assigned randomly, which might mean that if he is mafia he has a Known Name on his team.

i'm going to expose myself and say that i don't really know what the phrase 'villa read' means, oops. i thought a bit ago that this was kind of a dead-end too but upon thought i guess it is kind of weird, i like herbe's post about it above and it seems like something a silly mafioso could do hahaha

I'm totally still not here but Otter's claim was what I was expecting if she was telling the truth about the whole "it will never happen if I say it", which... :/ It's more plausible to me now that her EOD was genuine. Either way would not really support lunching her.

+1. her roleclaim lined up pretty well with her EoD and i think that what mf said about, like, how maybe trying to paraphrase/parse her role during the pressure of EoD was 'headbreaking' sums up my thoughts pretty well; i'm not even really advocating a vigilante kill either. i want to hear more from her

 

[rari_teh]

If that were true, why would he speculate on it in the thread?

wifom.gif

Maybe out of naïveté
Maybe he isn’t mafia after all
Maybe that absurd speculation is a part of his “sorry, newcomer ” act and was suggested by the mafia (this one I highly doubt)

seri asked that so early though. do we even know that they know who the bigshots here are? (since they're not tcod-familiar iirc?)

I thought everybody in the mafia knew who’s the don. Don’t they??

 

[Herbe]

i'd rather try to get somewhere with something more solid than that

yeah to be fair this discussion just started because i was bored of there not being discussion so serimachi was my best idea a couple pages ago
please, actively entertain other ideas! seriously, that's why i made my bigpost

 

[mewtini]

Also, thoughts on Eifie's villa read on serimachi's thought that the roles were not assigned randomly, which might mean that if he is mafia he has a Known Name on his team.

i'd like to hear your thoughts on this too though; it seems like you have something in mind? (then again maybe not since you mentioned that they felt sincere)

 

[Herbe]

by bigshots mewtini probably means well known, good players on the forum. like negrek

 

[mewtini]

they do! i meant bigshot as in people who are Big Mafia Players on this site that would make them think bfree assigned those people, specifically, to maf

 

[Keldeo]

Urgh, sorry, I thought it was serimachi who posted being surprised at how many pages of speculation there had been in the way early game, but it was actually kokorico. Never mind my first question.

Mewtini, a villa read is a townread, sorry. I'm not sure how they could be independent since the second statement depends on the first, but the question doesn't actually work anyway.

 

[rari_teh]

Aaaah got it.
Well, that question is as easy as hovering one’s mouse pointer over a player’s username. Keldeo’s eighth TCoDversary was in April 5th and you (mewtini) are here for over nine years.

tbh i was just trying to figure out what villa read meant after seeing it for the 5th time and i just decided to give up and wait for an explanation :') sorry. just got myself confused

Herbe/mewtini, talk to me about how you feel about the thoughts "serimachi's mindset of 'there not being enough to go on' has been consistent throughout this game" and "that makes serimachi town"? Without looking back I believe in the first and idk how I feel about the second but it would be nice I guess.

it has been consistent throughout this game, i just don't know what 'consistency' means when it's across posts 246 and 1900. they were around to wonder about eifie (and i get that her memeing could seem weird to a first-timer) but then disappeared/didn't reply to the posts afterward saying "nah, that's just how she is" which is sort of weird idk i guess but

on the other hand if seri were actually mafia and participating in wolfchat i would think that they'd dissuade them from being that weird about her (i mean i guess it did make eif - and therefore me, who has been inadvertently sheeping her - townread, but w/e). idk. i just think it's hard to talk about when it's only 4 posts; if this had happened d1 when i was less wary i'd probably go for a baby version of an ILS read, but

if seri really were as naive/disengaged as they'd been saying, i wouldn't take it for granted that they knew this. also i've been here for a long time but i was a) gone for a long time, so i haven't even really read a lot of mafia here, and def not enough to know others' playstyles and b) i'm not a mafia veteran and this is still my first game as someone with a functioning frontal lobe

 

[Keldeo]

Villa read is actually when you think someone has a large European estate, which they must have bought through their mafia connections

but yeah disregard my points about seri, I was remembering the wrong post. No real opinion on him.

 

[Herbe]

well, guess we're just kinda sitting until seri responds
i reaaaaally wish mist1422 would unvote panini. especially considering he said he didn't even read anything she said.
. wait, am I on to something here? anyone want to revisit the mist1422 case? i know eifie hypocop cleared him but thats hypothetical

ofc i could be rememebering wrong and someone else altogether was the one that voted panini w/o reading her post

mist voted panini at first without reading (based off of boq's read during EoD) but i linked mist to panini's longpost that (for now) clears her. mist said that they read it but i think they were signing off for the day or something and are revisiting it later

idk if there's much to the mist case rn honestly
