It’s also not low risk play. This is what folks who want to gambit or try fancy plays need to remember. You may think it’s just you doing a thing but it can change the entire trajectory of the game and not usually for the better.

“If you let me live I’ll come back with reads tomorrow.” Nowhere to be seen. People need to recognize when they’re in a manipulative relationship LOL.

Ok, so malus it is then.
"everyone but me is probably scum! oh also my scummate is okay" lol I would sideeye the shit out of that too. No PoE should be that big at this point.

I legit do not understand why you have so many players out here acting like HP has flipped town.
I want to see HP open wolf just to see if he would actually get voted out. My bet... no, he wouldn't.
I like being on this side because I can act like I was super smart all along and have the best reads and current town is the real stupid one tut tut

It certainly doesn’t help town that they’re entertaining suspicion of Rando, the most town in the whole thread since BoJack left. He’s playing this game exactly like Thing where he was super town up to infection.

I am taking the feedback into account trust me I appreciate it.
The problem is my brain does not go "dont to That" my brain goes "Do that Better" and I wrote multiple paragraphs of schemes yesterday based on feedback I have received.
I dont think I am capable of playing mafia the most of you want me to I'm not wired for it at least at the moment.
I realize that makes me a Bad Player but I feel like a Bad player no matter what I do in multiple ways.

I’m always confused by how scumread Random gets every game. He always feels town af to me.

Thats what makes mafia fun though the way little interactions butterfly affect into giant affects. I will admit my Win/Loss record is not great.
I would such a miserable person if I played every game in a way that's not me.
I do try my best to not make others miserable.
I'm sorry I fuck that up sometimes

I also try to gambit in a way that makes it obvious I'm trying to help town so people correctly town read me.
I have only been Lynched 1 time in my entire mafia history
That's a positive right?

LP usually has better reads by this point too. Maybe he has fallen into a self-promotional “activity is scummy” method of scum hunting.

If this mini chess tournament on discord has taught me anything it's to think and plan ahead and trying it in mafia. Seeing all this now I'm just screaming "get rid of the question mark players now! Before the end of the game!! Scum will help narrow it down!"
You don't want HP at endgame just get him out now and scum will help narrow the choices with a NK.

I found it hilarious when he did the claim list but then said he doesn't even remember anyone's flavors let alone his own. I was like:
Is it because you used a fake claim and can't remember which one you picked?
Always the true sign of scum malus. Not enough charts LOL
This is the best part of spec LOL. This is part of why I always hope I die at some point in a mafia game lol.
As someone who scumread him a lot in the thing, i think like Ephi, Reki, and Hawthorn he just has a naturally scumminess or uneasiness that makes people paranoid about him even when he's putting in a lot of good scum hunting.
To be fair, he's wrong about the final scum, but he has gotten somethings right including pointing out that scum has town powers.
If only he'd realize a 2 shot double vote is the perfect town power for scum

See I don’t get that at all with Random lol. I feel like he’s giving off pretty constant engaged town vibes
lokiduck
Awww yiss mothafuckin' breadcrumbs
it def has been a weird one in that case. I partly wonder if a lot of it is because how little info the flipped scum have given due to their inactivity or lack of connection with each other.
Usually when you flip scum, you have info now you can use when looking at their posts or the votes, but in this case there's been nothing lol.

Mad as in angry, or mad as in crazy?
Some of it is the fact that certain people just like fighting with each other. Accepting those rivals as partners is hard when you’re too busy memeing.

I could have refrained from flipping atp, how much funner would it have been to read a ready room where his building frustration kills his natural townsided instincts and he starts playing to help scum?

My favorite thing about the Ready Room (other than your references, of course) is that it starts out with sexual tension between Picard and Q lol.

Just putting this here so Vere remembers to meal plan appropriately.

Less than 5 hours to go and a 6 way tie with 1 vote. Gearing up for another clown show.
I know it's probably mostly a coincidence, but you'd think someone would notice that most of the NKs have been vocally anti-HP.
I'd be very surprised if they actually nail scum today, they seem to be pulling in every direction except that.

Feels like Random's number is going to get called today. Scum probably go with LP tonight to make sure they get a kill? Would hurt to lose a supporter of them but he's also fairly high on the top town reads so by keeping him around it keeps the pool a big bigger.

I also had to grow into the idea that one MUST make allies with one’s allies. I may suck at it but I do try. Apparently verbal abuse doesn’t result in friendly relations.

I kept trying to reach Nat where he was at but he kept striking me down. I can say I tried at least.
The day reminded me of what happened to anex. Town got it into their head that Random was scum, and there was no changing that.

And the train is entirely TvT. If they convince themselves scum joined that train, they’re going to waste another day.
Part of the reason I self-turbo'd is that I hope town will actually go back, read my posts, realize I was telling the truth about wee and BoJack, and then change the course of the game. They could get HP out if they do that.
They will not.
However, I don't actually expect anyone to read my posts, except maybe Ephi. I feel like town doesn't really deserve to win this one, I find myself rooting for HP now anyway.

Yes, we must all realize this is the only logical conclusion.
I feel like people don't tend to give any weight to dead players reads. Once you're dead you basically don't exist lol
I fucking knew HP was scum! How is he still in this game.
Absolutely. I've been railing against this but nobody cares. They're CONFIRMED TOWN after they flip. Don't you think they could have some good ideas?
Hi ATP
I didn't say I missed you in my above post because you were with me the whole time. Some of your posts in the Ready Room after the others died really helped pull me back from the brink, so thank you for that.

Sorry I didn't do more, I kind of checked out a little after the anex flip. Its so frustrating to learn that nat and vere are town. I legit thought they were open power wolfing the way they pushed you.
Blarg may call me boring, but even as a neutral my heart always belongs to town.
Three things I learned this game:
1. Don't feel the need to be present in-game if your hearts not in it or if you're busy. It's okay to have boundaries, even at EoD.
2. Sometimes it's better to just claim instead of be cute with your role and get bit in the butt later
3. There is no such thing as a town role, even in a non-bastard game
Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk

FWIW, I don’t get your elimination. You come across as extremely invested and I can’t read you as anything but town because of that.
Also, if Fate is NK tonight, I think town is screwed.

Fate was once in that group. I don’t know what convinced him to flip.
yeah, turns out when town is kicking themselves directly in the ass, mafia doesn't have to be invested
FUNNY HOW IT WORKS LOL
I missed what it was, but even early on, that was my one big disappointment in his reads - that he had HP as town.
