day 1 reflections:
after the 2 kills it looks like we are agreeing to believe for now there are two mafia and Anex was town.
the whole 2 mafia groups needs it’s own post in terms of gameplay mechanics, but I’ve never played a game with 2 mafia before so i don’t even know where to start. I will worry about it after work
anex was town is something i know how to look at and investigate. But now from the perspective that whoever killed Anex could have thought he was town, or thought he was other mafia.
how important was it that anex’s character is a main character? is scum more likely to think a main character is town? I'm thinking its a null change since this bastard game play is so hard to guess at, I don't think it would be anyones reason to vote. so both town and scum could have voted for Anex. So who voted for annex and was it b/c they had a strong suspicion or just because they could?
I’m thinking I’m more likely to trust those who really felt he was mafia. The problem with that is apex’s weird mess up claim made him look really suspicious.
First up in order from vote tool:
Maol: voted suuuuuper early #560 #564 did a sort of place holder vote? based on not feeling anex had done anything useful so far, then iso post where he agrees with his vote for anex pushing the fate train alone and for shit stirring and not having an early vote. Anex pushed back saying he was looking into fate and hp from Star trek beefs i think.
Maol asks if anyone else thinks they should target Fate and HP- Hawthorn says fate #3 annex #6. Maol town read haw at that point along with Date and Zeke post #600
Maol left vote on anex while sparks did sparks stuff, and then by post #1188 said …
Then Anex started saying he MIGHT claim if people wanted him to and Maol found that sis post #1197
Then there was the whole role reveal snafu with the name for anex and the chaos that ensued
Post 1201 Anex says if it was him he would not change his vote based on his role reveal, which Maol agrees with post #1207 and says that he won’t then change his vote
post #1274 taking credit for starting the bus on annex “I said it like a full day ago when I first voted you for how you were coasting and called you out for going after the polarizing players from Star Trek . I don't think you were on anyone's radar before I popped up”
then Maol “concerned with the lack of movement here [on lp train]. if wolf, are his mates bussing him now. if town, are they comfortably sitting off wagon. it's entirely possible that the wolves have given up on saving anex, but I'd have expected more attempts to swing it elsewhere before the claim came out than what we got” post #1397
post #1408 “I don't town read anex, I just didn't like the LP counter wagon because I don't see a reason to SR LP”
Post #1411 defends annex vote when Haw tries to argue he has been pushing Sorian vote, haw later backs down post 1415 with “OK, that is a a good point.
I do remember that you like to have multiple wagons. I forget that people are like that because it makes me nervous, I like to have a firm lead on the person I most scum read.”
At the end of this reread...
Maol was not very serious at the start, but threw down a vote. and then tried to get interest in Fate and HP and Sorian. I was not feeling the fate or hp sus vibes, but a couple votes were put down on fate and later removed. He not interested in the haw train either. Was reading Haw as town, even when haw was sus of him on Sorian. Once Maol said he would not change his vote at #1207 he keeps his word...even as I try to start something on Sorian and some people decide not to vote.
So why the double down? This is either reckless mafia or reckless town behavior. Voting out people just because you said you would when there is a decent chance they are town and there is a neutral to vote out just seems petty. on one hand, I know the anex role reveal messed up a lot of people's reads, but there were so many of us who did not think he was scum. So many people voted him out last minute anyway just b/c he messed up the role reveal. I know hindsight is 20/20, but I wish you had voted Sorian with me - in spite of haw. Ultimately after going through all these posts on Maol, im not sure what side he is on, but not loving the choices made so far either way.
With that said - how do you feel about Fate [hedin] and HP now? Are you still reading haw as town?
I still don't get the Anex train over Sorian. But my vote is another post.
