Forum Revival TV Tropes Mafia Revival - D7

[rari_teh]

a close look at who finished EoD with their vote on ILS -- underrated avenue so far btw

 

[kyeugh]

i agree. just to clarify - part of rari's q was that, while you've been consistently unsure on them, you only now have listed mawile under that tier; did something change? i've kind of been hinting at my own discomfort for a while but i'm wondering where your turning point was

i have pushed back on most of their posts so while it's true i haven't come out and say "i get bad vibes from this person" i don't really think it's out of the blue. that was my first read list after all
nothing really changed except for that i didn't really feel like putting ONLY rari in my bad vibes list because that's not really accurate and also makes it look like i feel much more strongly about that read than i do

 

[kyeugh]

pretend my grammar/pronouns etc are right in that post
i just keep calling everyone "they" and then go back to check/adjust before posting but forget sometimes. :|

 

[mewtini]

so by all means, WIFOM me babey,

hahahaha

admittedly, I'm not sure where this persistent perspective that I've been uncontributive comes from, besides that Eifie said so; I'm not going to ask anyone to prove the absence of something but

i actually (truly) thought it before eifie ever said it, her and boq talking about it just gave me the #courage to say anything. i feel like you haven't produced much original content and have only posted about sentiments that were prevailing at the time (and even if you went 'against' the grain it was still in league with OTHER prevailing sentiments). that's kind of it. i can postdig if it helps

 

[mewtini]

a) is definitely a part of why he vibes weirdly to me, but b) isn’t. What do you think, @mewtini?

b) isn't quite but i think mawile's reads have been either been something i disagreed with OR just so uninteresting that it doesn't mean a lot to me

 

[mewtini]

yeah, sorry! my phrasing sounded accusatory, i just wanted confirmation of this

 

[mewtini]

also you've pushed back against a lot of people and have been pretty good at being investigatory, so i wasn't sure if that was significant or a trend with mawile for you either. or if it was just another person you were getting info out of

oh nah you're good haha, i didn't think you were being accusatory. was just explaining
i am not usually a proponent of scumreading people bc their posts are only surface level bc i think that plenty of town players just... don't reach those deep insights as easily, and that's fine
but that combined with the consistently disagreeable reads is enough for me to start feeling weird

(my final mf note for now, i swear: i agree w this reasoning generally, i am pushing a little bit at mf for it because i know she doesn't just fall into "plenty of town")

 

[kyeugh]

mm. i'd agree but also i kind of believe that she's getting lost in the sauce with this immense deluge of Posting so i'm kind of willing to give her the benefit of the doubt for now
hopefully she's more active toDay though

 

[rari_teh]

No vote (6) (Flora, JackPK, Stryke, IndigoEmmy, Odie_Pie, kokorico)

Undead JackPK confirmed (not really)

A thought just crossed my mind: if Negrek was mafia and lying about her powers, it wouldn’t make sense for them to not kill Vipera this night. I mean, someone could’ve shielded VM, but then again who’d have killed Boq in that scenario?
Also, if Negrek is town, she has no good reason to lie about her powers, so she’s likely town.

Actually, wait a minute: why didn’t the mafia kill who’s likely to be the only doctor standing, namely VM?

 

[mewtini]

negrek post/EoD analysis incoming but

i kind of uncomfortably disagree with a lot of this

i think negrek lying => dead end tbh. then again she didn't make her roleclaim knowing she would get immediately hit with VM's role, which exists as a direct factcheck if he pops back in, but making such an aggressive lie part of your play doesn't jive with her absence later and i think she's probably? good enough at mafia to know that.

also i think it's more likely than you think that VM got shielded or something. idk why boq ended up getting killed and it doesn't totally make sense to me either (i'm very anti-loopy spec mostly but i did admittedly wonder about if it was that he was FoS'ing certain players, i only admit that to say that i have no idea why he got killed). no one really knows wtf deadly doctor is other than VM probably so maybe maf didn't care, i have no clue

but idk if i believe neg is town just yet. hence extensiveish post coming soon

 

[mewtini]

ok reading back maybe i don't totally uncomfortably disagree i just got a weird feeling when i read it and i never revised that sentence, hmm. idk

 

[rari_teh]

What does “anti-loopy spec” mean? Sorry for asking, but Google didn’t do favours

 

[mewtini]

What does “anti-loopy spec” mean? Sorry for asking, but Google didn’t do favours

pretty much conspiracy theory/out there spec

 

[Ottercopter]

I think it means that roles appear flipped? Like, a town person showing up as Mafia when they die. I was an inspector in my first game, and a townie looked like mafia and a terrorist showed up as town. Bleh.

(I may not post that much tomorrow because I haven't been productive in a few days and this game's kind of a time sink. But I'll try and keep up!)

 

[kyeugh]

i don't really get why we're assuming vm got shielded? i keep seeing this tossed around and don't get it

like in order for that to be true we have to make all of these assumptions:
- there are two killers (i.e. a mafia and a vig)
- there is a shielder of some kind
- the mafia targetted vm
- the shielder protected vm
- the vig targeted boq fsr
- also, the vig was either inactive n0 or the shielder happened to guess a target correctly that night too
for another thing i don't really understand what a "shielder" is supposed to be—to me it sounds identical to a doctor, which i don't think is what you're talking about here, or else a bodyguard, which would have died when they took the shot for vm

this is all vs the more obvious conclusion of
- there is no vig
- the mafia targeted boq last night fsr

(dw! i just made up the phrase so i'm glad you asked, i'm really bad with that sometimes. both online and irl lol)
