Gotta catch up on the last couple pages but I think your post is the weird one. He could have summed it up as town on town violence, but if that’s not his read on it why would he do that? It’s possible he’s lying about his read to throw shade on them, but the way you worded it it’s like your advocating for him to lie about it to avoid throwing shade.

My argument is he's smart enough to know that when 2 players both "look worse" in an exchange, it pretty much never makes sense for both to be scum and most likely its town on town.  He was being purposely deceitful there, was my take.

And the throw in that both were scum in another game and coasted and now are the leading trains D1....what does that matter?

I like this vote too 

I haven’t seen JiF do his Batman casing instead he’s coasting away 

unvote vote jif 

lmfao - this has become the easiest and weakest horsesh*t vote in all of mafia, the JiF isnt doing enough (based on whatever random criteria I'm using)  while he does the same thing he does every game vote.  It takes real effort to drop this vote/rationale combo. 

I'd also like to point out the OMGUS nature of this post. 

Can we kill it please already? My god.

Weird post by AJ here.  You could have just summed all of that up by suggesting it was probably just town-on-town violence, as usually is the case when 2 people tunnel on each other.  Instead you throw shade on both and try to contrast the situation with a previous game?

I read it the exact same way.  I feel like he really didnt even read that particular game.  lol  I was scum with them, carried them to victory.  duh

Ok, the way you worded it made it sound like you wanted him to be deceitful to avoid throwing shade on them.

@Nolder  In 10 words or less, please describe why *anyone* would ever care enough to write *that* much on D1? 

How could that possibly help the town? 

10 words or less mind you

Nolder's post had 1,082 words. On D1

I had to do a word count to see if it was real. That has to be a record.

I disagree.  Saying town on town violence is the easy way out, he looks like he's actually trying to problem solve here.

 

Why are you still alive??

ewww weird defense.

I like 80 today.  While I didnt love the fluidity of his voting on the early Gata train was concerning but we were seeing the game similarly.  I believe his switch was jokey and I like his play today. 

Yours is gross.

hmm...I backed off the Nolder vs. Gata thing.  It feels like a bunch of sh*te.     

I am new and haven't played with DPR before, but he hasn't provided any reads on anyone.   Stark has only provided one look and that was on Barry and myself.  Starks reasoning is sound, but he usually provides better insight.   

I'll go with DPR for now.

 

Vote DPR

Beaver lookin solid so far

I see a lot of people posting and not saying anything.  DPR and JC come to mind.  Jokes, comments, no digging.  I'm in that group as well (for now).  Like I said, I want to see if this is a conversion game before I try to dig in  - making reads and having them all go to sh*t with a conversion is not something I'm interested in doing right now.

 

Conversion games are super fun for mods, the people who do the converting, and sometimes the folks that are actually converted, but it's hard for literally everybody else.

 

 

Hmmm... I might have an idea here.

 

 

I missed you.

Why do people keep talking about this being a cult game? I haven't seen anything that hinted such a thing and atp if feels like fear mongering to keep bringing it up as if no read can be trusted which will actively get in the way of building a town core.

So again, why is this part of your narrative on d1?

2 people looking worse in an exchange almost never results in both being scum.  Pick one as looking worse than the other or move on, because its probably town on town.  And I don't buy the D1 "gambit" stuff.  That pretty much never happens either.

I'm still alive because people have gotten tired of lynching me D1.  About time.  Games are more fun with me in them.  

I'm ashamed of myself for agreeing with you, but I do.

No way anyone reads the gata/nolder sh*tshow and think it's an act. One could be scum but I don't see a universe where they both are.

A few. I already posted that the Nolder/Gata thing felt contrived to me. The WOT's from JC & Nolder seem weird. I think Verb is summing it up best with:

I figure this is the back of everyone's mind, yeah? Which is why the out-of-the-norm activity I talked about above stands out. Makes me think that there could be PR's that determine recruits, but that's pure spec at this point and no reason to clutter the thread with it at this point.

 

So you think it's ok for you and verb to sit back and not dig in cause you think this might be a conversion game?

Yeah I don't think so.

1.  I asked Pac a direct question on this multiple times in the signup thread and he never answered.  So, no, he never confirmed it.

2.  However, Pac LOVES conversion games, and the theme supports it.

3.  If you read some of his "flavor" scenes, he hints at it.  I'll find them, one sec.

Oh how the mighty have fallen...

*cringe*

I... agree.

[jvill 51]

My take: @Nolder if you’re town, you’re taking GATA’s initial vote and reasoning WAY too literally. I understand the logical fallacy you’re trying to point out, but it could still be a joke vote with some semi-serious reasoning behind it, and at this point continuing to harp on it is more distracting than anything.

Moving on, @Drums I think Barry raised this earlier but I’m curious as well, what was the reason you connected JC with GATA and Nolder?

OK it was only one.  But this is a clear signal that this is a conversion game:

Yeah I dont read flavor.

And as far as I go, no one is getting a free pass at slanking by floating the cult fear. We still need to scum hunt if we want to win this game, cult or no cult. Period.

That's fair.  Just trying to mentally prepare for an awful game.  Cult games suck, 100 % of the time.

So up until that post no one spoke of conversion? Cause I've seen it pop up several times and I dont think it was following that necessarily.

My point is this is the perfect tool in scum's hands to both not put in work and to discourage us from scumhunting by planting that seed.

We play like we always do and if we get a real indication about there being a cult we'll deal.

I don't get what is the "clear signal" in that. Honestly I am with Nyn, tired of hearing people complain about a conversion game and want to see the inactives get involved. 

[Gone]

Also can you explain what about that makes you think cult? Cause they could just be talking about who they want dead.

[Drums]

Last time I posted I had my top three as JC, Nolder and Gata. Right now I am leaning towards that ridiculous Ape-like domination Gata Nolder being town on town. I could be wrong but that will present itself later if need be. But DPR made a good point-- I was feeling a little burnt out after reading that. 

JC is my vote right now and I still agree with that as of right now. The two games he was town, I respected his play quite a lot. This game? He voted me because of something Nolder said and then voted Nolder because of something I said. That could be him baiting but other than that he posted about Screech. 

Crusher is aloof and hasn't voted, basically just like he did last game when he was scum. You can't post random stuff but not actually play the game-- that is scummy to me. (Edit: Sorry Crusher baby, thought you were playing but you aren't.)

And I think the lack of effort because "it's a conversion game, I know it" or "I am waiting to see if it is a conversion game" is understandable but let's go people! Get in the game! If it ends up being a conversion game, fine do whatever you want, but you're wasting valuable time here. Pac is neither confirming nor denying anything and I'm sure there will be some other random sh*t here too.

80 literally voted himself and made the comment about the conversion game in his first post which is probably page 1. He also tried fanning the flames of a Nolder vs me stupid debate. I don't trust his ass right now. 

[Drums]

Not feeling great about the absence of Stark. He has been quietly killing it the past few games as town. Beaver mentioned storms so I am not sure if that affected his situation or not. If not, his quietness is on my radar as well.

I like this post but just want to point out that Crusher is not playing.

I don't know why 80 is bitching so much when he could have just not signed up knowing Pac loves conversion games. I'm kinda hoping it is a conversion game just because I've never done one. We should kill him for bitching too much.
