Game Thread Marvel Heroes Mafia - Half of You Will Enjoy This

can you be specific, who do you think are the best shots for today?

also extreme did also mention swamped more recently than that one reads list in like a sentence when I did a little iso of her:


though the tone of that reply makes me think he was likely reading her as scum/null at that point of time too. he definitely didn't argue her towniness to me.


I'm really conflicted on Kalor. Do you think there's some genuine frustration in his recent posts? that's what's giving me the most pause, I usually don't get much emotion from his posts. and I don't think he'd be getting frustrated at bad shots and play if he was scum.

I didn’t get frustration from his posts per say, but I find that a personal scum tell from Kalor is that he gets flustered when defending himself at scum. He’s much more cautious and disinterested at playing defense when town. And I’m getting a bit of that here.
 
I seriously can't believe that you're still pushing for that 100% ITA theory.
This was the last time you mentioned Swamped:
So what? I wasn't actively pushing for her to die. There were more pressing matters to attend to. Like I don't know, people shooting confirmed towns?!?
You didn’t take your own shot, threw shade on everyone else’s shots today, but couldn’t remember the one I took at you (somehow).
I literally said that I couldn't decide.
I forgot it because of the other pressing issues.
“We have to use ITAs as soon as possible
Over 3 days ago. When there were dozens of suspects. And there were active scum hunts.
“Wait, everyone can use ITAs
Literally didn't know how they worked.
Bothered by the mention of ITA boosts on the day we suspect he was boosted and shot at Verelios.
If I were Mafia, I wouldn't even have posted somethinf stupid like that.
can you be specific, who do you think are the best shots for today?

also extreme did also mention swamped more recently than that one reads list in like a sentence when I did a little iso of her:
Kalor and Lone Prodigy are good suspects since they shot a confirmed townie. Kalor in particular, because it was stupidly impulsive.
though the tone of that reply makes me think he was likely reading her as scum/null at that point of time too. he definitely didn't argue her towniness to me.
I though that her disagreing and voting for Gorlak was stupid because of all the ffort Gorlak was doing. I didn't scumread her, but like you said I wasn't advoacting for her towness either.

Oh, well that definitely makes me lean scum on him. I was just wondering how he plays as scum, I've only ever spectated/played w/ him as town. And not sure if frustration was exactly it, but I was getting some feeling from posts like this:
Why don't you do it yourself? Oh... wait.

Not that I can talk.
^ bitter? petty? this in particular totally didn't feel like anything I've read from him before
This has been a bad day.
With that flip, we now have 16 players and 8 of them have less than 10 posts. We're going to lose because of inactivity more than anything else.
 

oreomunsta

Crumbles under pressure *for now*
I'm back! And I'm ready to vote. This gone goes out to Kalor, for your desire to hit a strong town contender

Vote: Kalor

I was wrong about Swamped, though :< Makes me start doubting going after quieter players right now..
 
Filler is parts of posts that don't really say anything and just appear to be there to bulk out the post or make the person seem like they're contributing more.
I didn't mean the definition lol. I meant exactly what part of that post is filler.

When I said I wanted to talk to BladeSymphony today, I was making a reference to this post of mine before the day ended:
We need more time to discuss this. I guess I don't have a choice in the matter.

Vote: briefs_cat
There wasn't nearly enough time to discuss things with him since he only began to speak up like 10 minutes before the votes were finalized. I decided to believe his role claim and shifted my vote to briefs_cat as a result.
 
Honestly, I’m finding Kalor’s actions a bit suspect, too. If Fandorin’s right about that tell, I’m good with targeting him.
 
these are pretty safe reads :x
anyone else? it's very likely there are more than two scum left
I'm kinda suspicious of Geno. He's been targeting people with unsavory means. And his justifications are very weak.

Blarg has been acting like an idiot too. Imagine if he hadn't hit his target. He'd have no defense on actually targeting him!
 
...Why has this thread been dead for almost 5 hours? =/

Man, even if scum want to win, making the game this slow towards the end by killing like every active player really makes things dull.

It's not bitter. It was meant to be a joke but perhaps the tone didn't come across

For the people who want to lynch me, we did have two shots against Blarg. Is mine really more suspect than LPs? At least I was around to talk about it afterward while LP ghosted and hadn't came back.

While he is way more suspicious, you still shot at Blarg. What if you had killed him?

I don't think we should let either of you off, but at least you're here to actually discuss things.

Attempt #16325: Lone_Prodigy

Then I would have accepted the consequences and moved on. Blarg shot at an essentially confirmed roleblocker and we don't see him in this situation. It was a action that I didn't think through and I'll live with what comes with it.

Well you should.
I'll take my shot.

Lone_Prodigy's Role PM:

Welcome Lone_Prodigy,

You are The Wasp. True Identity Janet van Dyne.

Your role is Mafia Angel. You may use the command PROTECT:<playername> on another player each night. That player can not be killed during the night phase that this action was used or during the entirety of the following day phase. Exceptions to this protection are lynch, event penalties, or modkill. You may not target yourself or target the same player two nights in a row.

You may also use the command KILL:<playername> once per night to execute the mafia factional kill. Your target will be killed assuming they have no form of protection. You may use both your individual ability and the factional ability in the same night, if applicable.

You win when the mafia team outnumbers all other players.

Kay-lor? Kah-lor?
Does it make sense for a mafia member to kill another mafia because said mafia looked scummy af?

It depends on how much stress the team is feeling. If they felt like they were in a bad position, they probably wouldn't take it.

Is this in reference to me? If I was scum I wouldn't target our own doctor, 15% chance to hit or not. That's such a crazy gambit to take that it would make Ezekel blush.

Why wouldn't I target a less important role if I wanted to appear as more town in the case I do get a hit? I'm sure that there's at least one other scum in my list of scummy players that has a role less important than doctor, and it wouldn't be at all unusual for me to target them instead.

That doesn't even go into how scum numbers are dwindling. I don't think more than 3 are alive at this point (I really hope I'm right about this).
 
How are we gonna review his night actions? I don't think he's posted about them.
No, review what other people attempted with their day/night kills onto possible scum.

...Although, I'm not sure if anyone has said anything of the sort. Plenty of successful kills like BladeSymphony's, but not sure about failed ones...?

@Sorian, if Lone_Prodigy protected someone and that person got hit by an ITA, would it show up as a hit or a miss?

The power just stops someone from dying. It doesn't let them dodge anything.

Majority is now in effect since the last ITA phase of the day ended. With 15 players remaining, majority is 8.

I was just wondering, for now you are in the clear.
 
Darn, I just looked and the only player who got hit by an ITA and survived was Zipped, at least according to Brazil's infographic. =/
 

Kalor

Kay-lor? Kah-lor?
Those votes really piled up overnight. Although it's one less since Swamped is dead. I'm perfectly fine with people voting for me but I don't like the lack of reasoning from oreo and zubz. Also the two people who have never used an ITA.
 
You know, maybe LP was just piggybacking off of Kalor's shot in order to kill a townie.

Anyway, we still have Geno and Blarg hitting townies. And they still haven't explained themselves.

That's honestly very suspicious. That's especially true for Zubz since he checked in just before the last ITA phase started, yet didn't shoot anyone.

It's possible that some scum would not want to leave a paper trail, but the absence of evidence may be evidence itself since it's so late in the game now. So, with than said, I'm going to bed and doing this:

Vote: Zubz

I find it weird he forgot to shoot too. I mean, he obviously had the time, but he didn't bother to check the thread again.
 

Kalor

Kay-lor? Kah-lor?
In order of certainty I'd go with

Zubz
Extreme
Faircure

I struggled to come up with a 3rd pick so I'd focus on those top 2 today.
 
One more thought that just occurred to me: I think Kalor is town because of his attempt at shooting Lone_Prodigy Day 4. Unless there are some more hidden ITA chance-fixing shenanigans going around, I doubt he’d try to attempt that based off of the argument in my earlier post, especially since he only had, at most, one vote on him the entirety of the day.

(He may have even taken the shot before anyone voted for him, but I’m on mobile so it’s a little tedious to check. I’ll let you guys do it.)

There were two votes on LP at the time. Melon and Stan

Kalor

Kay-lor? Kah-lor?
I don't know if mass claiming is the best option today. Tonight will have more kills if it follows the cycle and the only protective role left is probably Blarg. We'd be drawing attention to our last PRs and probably lose them.

I'm all for it tomorrow though since we might just get one kill tomorrow night again.

Need to go back and review Brazil’s data on ITAs to see how persistent the bussing attempts have been between scum. But this could be a good point. Depends on how bad they were feeling at this point.

Geno and Polt are good in my eyes unless we get to lylo and they are still kicking around.
 

Kawl

I wish blarg would quit fucking around with shit though. The whole who did i target and what not is keeping me from being all the way on him.
 

Kawl

Owner of the Gun Show
Or rather targeting several people in a row that either are dead and can’t confirm or confirm in a conflicting manner...
 

Kalor

Kay-lor? Kah-lor?
When I think about them, the action that makes me lean town is lying about having information. I can't see a scenario where scum were so desperate to find out why Sawneeks didn't die that they would draw attention to themselves like that.
 

rac

whatever
so when faircure asked if you had any more scum reads you said geno was suspicious because you think geno has some other role
 
so when faircure asked if you had any more scum reads you said geno was suspicious because you think geno has some other role
Basically yeah. I mentioned Blarg too, even though he was townie. They're doing stupid things. Blarg is probs just being Blarg, but Geno doing those things is suspicious.
 
I'm up.

Lone Prodigy being scum is so stupid. All his interactions with other players are completely NAI at the end since he didn't even needed to try and sound coherent.

But his power role is interesting stuff; that protection against ITA can reveal a lot about the earlier shots taken into scum members. Will take a look at this right now.
Him flipping scum hurts a bit of the Kalor argument though, since he took his shot right after Kalor did. Makes more sense to me for the scum to use that as a diversion, and LP is the perfect member for that since he'd never explain that shot and he knew he wouldn't be lynched by that.
