PLAYERNAME

welcome to Any Non-Dead Person Can Post In This Mafia Game! you are a member of the

town

, and your role name is

town us politics 1-shot governor

.

once during the game during the day, if one of the users with the top 5 largest number of posts in the Speakeasy thread "us politics" who isn't a player in the game made a post during that day in the game thread that relates primarily in some way to a current political issue in the United States, you can activate a governor ability by messaging me with your intentions to do so. at the end of the day, as long as a player other than yourself would be lynched, they instead will not be. if you do not have access to the Speakeasy, I can provide a list of eligible players. I am the sole judge of what constitutes a post about US politics in case there is any ambiguity. you can send me conditional governor ability activations (e.g., "if this player is lynched, activate my governor ability today," or "if these two players are both voting for the player who is lynched, activate my governor ability") if you are unsure if you will have time to respond to a possible lynch, and I do not guarantee that you will have time to send me a message before the end of the day -- I will always end the day as soon as possible once the day ends.

you win when only members of your faction remain, or when nothing can prevent this.

mastina, town 25-person hated, and Ausuka, town prime/square/triangular cop, are endgamed. PenguinPower, EeveeLution Army, Who, RadiantCowbells, Creature, Ether, and Nancy Drew 39 (mafia roleblocker hydra recruiter), win the game.

Duh

I regret ego-ing

RC I think I can read you, let's test it sometime

I slowly become meaner the better I am, I think

one of the best things I learned was to abandon good/optimal play (and how well/poorly people are playing) and think about why the player you're looking at is acting a certain way.. spending a huge amount of time empathising with how people are posting and trying to see ways in which they could be town has been working really well for me.

I think your experience catches up to you sometimes. Since you've experienced eras in site culture where policy was considered really important, I think you have a firmer stance about "good"/optimal play than quite a lot of us. Technically that's not a negative thing. But I can see why it could get in the way of read accuracy.


Some people still freeze up and make decisions based on who played "better" (or who they'd "rather lose to"), rather than who they think is scum. It happens at nearly all levels of play, I think. I can definitely see how human nature and instinct lends itself to reading people like that.

I am half asleep here so mayyy be rambling a bit. Sorry.
