Open 482: Popcorn Mafia {Game Over}

Vote: Channel

Because targeting newb.

[ChannelDelibird]

The joke seemed forced in the wording, I thought. Do you think either of Limo & I are scummy? What about things on this page that didn't directly concern you?

[ChannelDelibird]

^ That was to Mac. HadMatter, why me over Limo?

[HadMatter]

You were second. Less joke and more bandwagony.

[ChannelDelibird]

Limo's explanation of his scumread didn't seem like a joke. And what's wrong with a bandwagon? What's scummy about pressuring a newer player early on?

[HadMatter]

Nothing's wrong with a bandwagon, but I trust bandwagoners less. New players are easy targets who don't know how to defend yet. Easy for scum to pick on.

[ChannelDelibird]

IMO, they suit town to pressure early just as much as scum. They're often more likely to under less pressure so you get a glimpse at their instincts and true emotions, which is great for establishing early reads.

[ChannelDelibird]

EBWOP: "...more likely to

crack

under..."

[HadMatter]

But know that you've said it, is the exercise pointless?

[Mac]

I have to go out at the mo Channel, will get back to you on that.

I think you & Limo are both scumhunting, I lean town but you could both be mafia trying to fit in and establishing me as an early target. I assume you think I tried to force the joke by saying haha, I guess I did put it in to re-iterate that I was joking and thought Limo was also joking.

As for suspicious things from page one...

Also: other members of town, please do as I'm about to do and PM the mod a conditional target list if you're ever gone when it's your turn to shoot. It'd be dumb to lose to inactivity.

I don't understand this for a start. As someone already said, who is ever going to be gone for two weeks?

[ChannelDelibird]

HadMatter: It doesn't look likely that he'll crack open, no, but that was the case even before I had to say that - it's your theory of why it's scummy to go after new players I'm responding to, and if Mac is a perfectly normal player without serious newb tendencies then I don't know why you're even worried about it.

I quite like Mac's new post but will wait for the "getting back to me on that".

[Juke]

I just realized that I was wrong in my reasoning of Limo-town. It was because he replaced in, and the game started four minutes later, giving him no time to choose who got the gun. However, I was discounting the possibility that the Mafia could have just made the decision without him, or more likely, he could have just said he agreed with their target when he came in.

[Mac]

I'm back now CDB, so what do you find suspicious from the first page?

[ChannelDelibird]

I was asking for your opinion on the first page, not mine. If #34 is the sum total of your thoughts from the first page, that's fine, you just implied that you had more.

[Mac]

Ah I see, I actually started that post before leaving but then went out and finished it when I came back. Other than the Limo/you/me story then there wasn't that much, I'd like HadMatter to explain the post I listed. And I can't say I like mcqueen's first and only post so far either.

[HadMatter]

@Mac

I thought all deadlines were 48 hours like the first one. Which is why it would have been a good idea.

[Limo]

Juke - why haven't you commented on anything that's happened thus far?

HM - In regards to the first half of your #30, I don't understand your issue with bandwagoners, could you elaborate?

[Klick]

Juke - why haven't you commented on anything that's happened thus far?

This conversation seems pretty useless.

Why haven't you or anyone else commented on what I've said?

[Human Destroyer]

Klick why

[Juke]

Shit, I did it again.

[Cherry Nog]

I personally would shoot either mcqueen (because if I had been scum I would have given the gun to him) or Regfan (because he is good at this stuff and would either find scum if he had the gun or would be a very useful early mafia death). On the other hand, I don't know anything about teh newer players like Juke, Mac or Limo. And I've only played with CDB once, when he shot me n1 in my first game.

[Cherry Nog]

Oh okay, so I have played with Juke then.

[Limo]

Why haven't you or anyone else commented on what I've said?

Because the discussion that follows would likely be fruitless.

[ChannelDelibird]

And I've only played with CDB once, when he shot me n1 in my first game.

I don't recognise you - are you on a new account?

[HadMatter]

I think wagoners are more likely scum. Explanation complete.
