I don’t get ATPG’s campaign against ShadowFacts. Shadow’s claim has enough detail in it that I believe his claim. Therefore, I believe Shadow to be Town.
Accordingly, I find ATPG’s efforts against Shadow to be anti-Town. I suspect ATPG of being Scum, but are Scum generally so explicitly anti-Town?
If I were Shadow, I’d send a message to LightFoot who previously claimed Seer.
I’d be curious to know, how do you guys think the game is going? Do you think town is narrowing in on scum? What do you think of the mechanics revealed so far?
Lightfoot is still alive, right? It’s Day 3 or 4, right? This would be a GREAT time for Lightfoot to post eir results, and a GREAT time for people to demand results!
Wow. AtPG is a veritable Great Wall of Words. I can’t begin to read his long analyses. I would do very poorly in any game with him. And I would be tempted to vote for lynching him just to make the game manageable. (I felt the same way about Meeko a while back. Or maybe it was Zuma.)
That said, how good a job is he doing with his analyses? It’ll be interesting to find out.
Meeko had a lot to say, but it took him a while to figure out how to communicate his thoughts in a way others would understand.
Pizza has a lot to say and says it. I don’t think he’s particularly confusing. The volume is large, but the individual points are not in and of themselves confusing. I think it is refreshing to have someone actually posting and thinking about the game.
I think Pizza is great! I’d love to play in a game with him sometime. Of course, for you non-spoiled people, it remains to be seen if he’s using his powers for good or evil…
Don’t get me wrong sach. I don’t know if he’s confusing; I do know that my eyes glaze over at any post in a Mafia game that’s more than about 80 words.
I haven’t been paying close attention. Is there a reason why the Town isn’t trying to lynch Normal Phase and Pizza? I find the pairing very odd. Unless there is a reason I’m missing, I’d want Normal Phase dead at this point. Pizza is too much of an unknown at this point, but I could see lynching him too.
I run into an issue when I’m playing with Normal Phase. I find that the longer she survives, the more I want her dead. Sucks for her, I suppose; the curse of being a good player. Last game I played with her, I was incredibly suspicious of her because she had made it to Day 4 after having done just an incredible amount of pro-town seeming work. I realize on some level that isn’t fair to her, cuz scum are able to plan out their kills for whatever benefits them most. On some level, I realize this is a terrible strategy, so I need to get better about this.
This is one reason why I often draft in a word processor. Once the draft gets to about 1½ A4 pages, it’s time to think about splitting it. Once it gets to two pages, the split is mandatory. Screen after screen of text just glazes the eyes.
I think I last played with you in International Mafia beta 1, and I’m not certain we were in the same city. But yeah, I didn’t like the long posts. Nothing personal.
I have to admit that while I found Pizza refreshing in the early Days, I’m remarkably less enthused now. I can’t bring myself to follow this game anymore.
Well, that sucked. Now that I can vent freely, I have to say it is ludicrous that I got lynched instead of Red. I was playing it cool in game, but holy fuck was that frustrating. To lynch me today was the height of ridiculousness. We deserve to lose after that bullshit.
**Pizza **is a big part of the problem. I love the fact that he’s so invested in the game, but he way too confident in his own scum-finding abilities. I give him all credit for the **septimus **lynch, but the rest of his reads have sucked ass, IMO. But he’s so goddam sure of himself and he throws so much fucking chaff in the air, he confuses less confident townies. For example, if **Hirka **had listened to me instead of Pizza, we’d be in a totally different place right now.
LightFoot’s early claim also hampered Town. Hard to say what would have happened if she kept quiet, but she definitely didn’t think that one through.
I want to punch **pedescribe **for bailing on another game. He should be banned from playing, IMO.
OK, bitch session over. I had a great time playing this one - thanks **Astral **and Mahaloth. I can’t say I played spectacularly, but I blocked a damn scum kill and fought hard to the end. Can’t blame me if half the Town is too stupid to add 2 + 2.
I gotta agree–I normally like the “pick a target and latch on” hard-charging style–I do it myself–but Pizza is like combining that with, I dunno, Meeko’s volume. It’s very hard to follow, and I am naturally suspicious of anyone who’s dominating the discussion with volume.
Where’s the “Thank you, septimus!” ? I thought I was your staunchest defender for a while.
My first game as Scum went about as I expected. I should have asked to be subbed out as soon as I got the PM. (At least no one spotted my PIS use of subjunctive verb mood. :dubious: )
