NY 169: The EPIC XD Mafia Game of Greatness (Game Over)

[geists]

If it becomes either really relevant or really irrelevant later, I'll probably explain.

[geists]

Somebody talk to me about fery's pace when it comes to reading people.

Best I ever did at MS was posting a correct and serious townread 22 posts into a game. I usually have some tentative reads within 4-5 pages in a mini or micro sized game. It's more variable the larger the game.

ffery, what are your reads on Cabd, Brian, and Pitoli?

Tammy, Brian is not a new player. How did you get that impression?

Generic, can you explain your townread on Geists and Tammy?

[KoreanBBQ]

But I wanted someone else to talk about it.

[Tammy]

Tammy, Brian is not a new player. How did you get that impression?

His start date is just a few months ago.

I feel like she and nati have telegraphed those somewhat already, and I'm surprised you had to ask.

[MC Maraca]

Join date is hardly the only factor.

Unless someone has off site experience, I consider anyone who's start date is within the past year a new player.

[MC Maraca]

Guess that makes me new, doesn't it?

[F-16_Fighting_Falcon]

Okay, he has still played quite a few games though.

Cabd, I'd much rather collect data now and discuss my results later so I still want answers to my questions from the people I asked.

[MC Maraca]

So

I'm officially here.

anyone wanna catch me up?

pfttt

that would also make me newish

[KoreanBBQ]

Am I still null to everyone yet?

[MC Maraca]

Nero is town'


and GIF is scum

so, I guess so.

Oh boy, Ms Marangal has arrived.

How long will it take her to stop voting me this time?

[geists]

ffery, what are your reads on Cabd, Brian, and Pitoli?

You've picked three players whom I don't read quickly.

I have strong reason to think that Cabd is town. Or he's gambiting, but I don't see the scum spin on what he's doing right now.

Awkward entrances are not a scum tell for Brian. Nor are they a town tell. I'll take my time to form a read on Brian. From what I remember in a recent meta dive you also badly misread him not too long ago in a game.

Pitoli has slow, tentative starts in mafia from what I've seen. She has a huge run of town games at MS. I was one of the players in her scum game. I tried to apply her scum meta in the Walking Dead game and came away with an erroneous scum read. I went after her at the start of day 2 shortly before she replaced out. IIRC Metal Sonic replaced her, and was lynched a few days later. I'd gone back and forth on that slot since day 1, but if memory serves didn't vote MS on the day he was lynched.

[KoreanBBQ]

How long do you usually take to read me?

[MC Maraca]

Maybe, if you learned how to make yourself Obv town, I wouldn't be voting you!

[geists]

Who is this?

If Nero's doing his usual things I can read him pretty quickly. I've never played with scum-Nero, though, so when I feel like his game doesn't seem quite the usual, I default to null or null/scum until the read finally firms up. It will be interesting to finally play a game where he's scum one of these days.

If GiF is doing his usual things I also get a read on him pretty quickly, but I footnote the hell out of it because I have a bad habit of townreading him when he's scum.

If I ever obvtown this early, I'm probably scum.

It's like you forget about the past every time I start another game with you.

[F-16_Fighting_Falcon]

ffery, what are your reads on Cabd, Brian, and Pitoli?

I feel like she and nati have telegraphed those somewhat already, and I'm surprised you had to ask.

I did see them telegraphing it but something was off about the way ffery didn't spend time sorting you out so I wanted to probe further. I like the response though and it was similar to how I felt as well (knowing you had a good scumgame but still feeling that you were town without any paranoia - which is unusual).

These make sense. Although my off-read on Brian was mostly based on in-game actions as opposed to meta which indicated he was town. I am unsure on Pitoli since I don't get the same obvtown vibes from Micro 252 yet.

[MC Maraca]

I only have one game that I can actually reference RE your play

and you defs weren't obv. town early there

It's almost like she clued into something you're missing. Naaaah

[MC Maraca]

I mean, I could go into the the other game where I was scum and you were town (and I think I'm missing another game) but that isn't going to do me very well
