Game Show Mafia DP1

Yes and no. Scum still doesn’t like to burn all their questions early before they’ve gotten other townies to claim.

The pressure can work- I learned that two games ago. I got lucky some people trusted me enough not to push for my full claim back there.

I think the current format incentivizes getting a few other townies to claim first. Not too different from a normal game tbh, but you can getting away with planning to full claim in the middle of the pack, instead of at the end in this format I think.

I think there’s a bigger question to ask here. I’ll leave that up to your interpretation. Curious what you’ll think.

Happy savant engaged. I’ll post a read list once I get to a spot where I can take some time and do it. Going out to eat. But yeah once it starts crawling, all you can really do is sit around and hold your dick while people get on.  I will say ideally lack of activity is usually what makes scum win. So if we have people that are just not engaging, we will need a solution for them. Some of the worst players win games by choosing to post fluff or nothing at all 

Pie - Pie is engaging and following his normal meta. I don’t think he has posted fluff or tried to detract with theme analysis or other vague concepts. Usually scum pie will lead the town on a goose chase and the fact he isn’t taking us in a single direction and just giving thoughts that are game related make me think he is town 

Wylted - I don’t think wylted as scum just outright keeps antagonizing me. Both this game and last he’s just been a passive aggressive little shit and I feel like as scum it doesn’t make sense to draw attention like that 

Savant - tbf this is just a guy read and I skimmed the shit about probability. I never buy into probability in mafia just because of to man varying factors. You have the basic odds and determined by scum to town ratio and that’s it. You can’t control how people act. The post in general seems like geninue scum hunting and analyzing why people are saying and posting things. Could be feigned and don’t know him at all to know how meta but it reads in good faith 

Lean scum 

Earth - one post, was here no initial rv and no value. Could be flying under the radar

Cassie - same 

(Tbf these are weak reads but when people participate and not move the game forward, my head goes to coasting) 

Stronger Scum 

Banana - the post wanting to immediately soft claim a year and being willing to do that with 0 pressure just sits wrong with me. I do think it’s moving the game toward but something about those posts make me think it’s not genuine and was fishing for town card 

Null

Mharm - ima be real. I always have issues reading him. He did pressure vote but he bounces around everywhere and does not stay consistent with this reads and does this regardless of scum or town. I always have issues getting a read on him. Want to see more. 

WF - I don’t know if I can call him Scum yet. It’s mostly null with a potential scum lean. He deflected the pressure and offered up a soft claim. Likely to appease me. But why? Appease me to get me off his back so I don’t catch him again or appease me because he’s actually frustrated he thinks I will make a meta out of chasing him. It’s hard to tell. He played it off as genuine frustration which is my only hesitancy with saying I lean full scum but he’s also experienced enough to play that angle off.

You think so? Personally, I'm in favor of the town almost always trying to lynch someone except possibly at MYLO. (I didn't use to feel that way, but I've come to accept it as the best strategy overall.)

Hmm, I don't like this post from Pie. Has he ever stated anything against the idea of pressuring players in general? I also don't agree with Savant that this is a townslip at all, it doesn't read as uninformed of the amount of fakeclaims scum have been given -- note the singular nouns 'character' and 'role claim'.

@Pie

Really? You want me to post my reads practically every time I post?

My show is after 2000.

Heads up first trivia question will be posted in 3 hours, or at 8pm est.

What do you make of Mikal claiming he was doing a reaction test? I have never played with him before and barely even skimmed any of the last game, so I don't really know anything about his playstyle and whether or not he'd do something like that.

I'm guessing we can't look up the answer?

Wait what post and what’s scummy. You mean not lynching on numbers?  It’s actual math and this has always been a strong meta for at least a decade 

Lynching on odd numbers gives you an extra Lynch

Where as passing on even allows you a night if info before you munch. 

Assuming no other killing roles exist which you never know. But that’s always been a meta 

I did above 

Mafia were given exactly one fake role claim, and one fake character claim this time around

I thought you said mafia had questions?

I think we shouldn’t always lynch DP1 regardless if it’s Even or Odd. It gives us information of character/role/balance + player interactions/motives. These days even No Lynching on MYLO is scary cause Vote Thief’s have become common.
