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

[Casso the King of Seals]

I am incredibly hungover and not able to rework that read right now, but Cephrir snowed the living hell out of me in uPick, and it turns out the major reason I was reading Cephrir as town here (namely, his reaction to me here) was completely wrong and completely faked.

[Generic]

Generic, I haven't been hiding for a moment this game; my thought processes are out in the open and if you need a point to engage me on, engage me on my reads. Which ones do you disagree with?

Give me a chance to run over your Iso and I shall bring some of your posts and reads to discuss, a bit busy right now to afford the time to it.

[Casso the King of Seals]

SSK's target claim is probably the toniest thing he's done all game.

[Cephrir]

I can't read Cephrir worth a shit.

*dances*

[MC Maraca]

Mini prod dodge because this head forgot this game existed for a bit.

Also I don't recall how far back it was, but Nero you suck at recognizing jokes. And also your head is usually up your ass a la FE:A so I'm p. much relying on gif to sort you out.

[KoreanBBQ]

You STILL haven't sort me yet?

*le gasp*

[DOMO]

SSK's target claim is probably the toniest thing he's done all game.

It might be if he didn't then object to geists leading.

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

SAD looked like a decent wagon at one time but he floods the game with whining walls and everyone seems to back off him.

Yeah, that's what you generally want to do. Followed up by sometime of lurking so people forget about you with you posting a few posts here and there to prod-dodge. Er... almost like this.

But srsly I don't have much to say other than I still think Bert is the best wagon. I still think nacho acted really town at the end of day 1 so meh.

[geists]

ffery head v/la through 1/8

[KoreanBBQ]

You STILL haven't sort me yet?

*le gasp*

Mara had already supposedly sorted us.

Looks like we found our investigation tonight!

[goodmorning]

V/LA til Tuesday

I expect Casso to be lynched by then too.

[zMuffinMan]

I also put Ceph in here, in the order of like Casso-Ceph-Bert-Desp.

i'm more like casso-bert-desp-ceph of those 4, but i still don't really see ceph as scum here

when/why did you start scum reading ceph, btw?

[zMuffinMan]

Yes but the difference is nero and casso. Here it's casso on the ropes. Why aren't scum seizing on a fistpump mislynch? Because they're scared to? Or because it's not a mislynch?

mm, i think casso is scum here, but this line of thinking got me into a sort of confirmation bias in xenogears with nacho in an almost identical situation. and i'm still unsure why scum weren't all over his lynch in that game. *shrug*

[Bert]

I'm 30 pages behind in processing the game [that's for Wed. night], although I've kept up by skimming superficially

My statement for today is I'm puzzled by all the associating of 5 person or 6 person scumteams, because I've never seen a game like this where this is being discussed on D2 and scum teams are listed in such large numbers. I'm surprised that a strategy that works here is to list scum team speculations before flips. I can understand it with Domo though as he/she if town is likely to die very soon barring unforeseen circumstances (aka being town or lying or having other protective roles).

I've also come across gunsmith as something people have mentioned, and I need to look up what that is.

It's generally done when there is such a huge amount of people being read town plus the gap between the "nulls" and the "suspicious" is large as hell.

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

Also please lynch this.

[Bert]

Nothing good to add tonight, I'm afraid.

As I write this, I realize large games are sort like those hospitals in my family's native country, where the places are packed as the cost of visits is so cheap because of universal health care. And a doctor can see hundreds in a matter of hours in a day. It's intense, it's hard to navigate, everyone's so busy...

listening to this right now ^ reminds me of when I was optimistic about my little world in this game when on D1 I was actively providing swing blindly to random wagons and being the usual bad player I am. my sisters would listen to that all the time in '03, and I was super optimistic about my little world then too. <3

Back on topic, I'm not in a position to judge those scumreading me, as my judgment is always clouded when people are scumreading me. No idea about the other people at this time. Although from what it sounds, Casso looks to be likely to flip scum. Only reason people going after me concerns me is because there are a few people I know who are townreading me full stop, and their word isn't enough to work as reassurance. Other than that, not so much.

I feel in the zone for a few minutes, so I'd also like to say that SSK may have made a bad Doc choice as town. I'm a guy that just rolls dice and selects people when I get a PR, and I often get called awful for those choices, so in a way I can relate. So yeah I think he might be town. Ask me in a few days and my answer may be different.

I ask that people who think I play weird, and who are town, to look past the weirdness if possible. Also I'm unlikely to answer your questions if they are loaded with random F-bombs and stuff. Catch up in a few days. Happy new year <3

[DOMO]

Who are you and what have you done with bert?

[F-16_Fighting_Falcon]

I am incredibly hungover and not able to rework that read right now, but Cephrir snowed the living hell out of me in uPick, and it turns out the major reason I was reading Cephrir as town here (namely, his reaction to me here) was completely wrong and completely faked.

So, what is your read on him now? Do you have any meta-based pointers?

[F-16_Fighting_Falcon]

Arthur, why is Cephrir (sadly) town? I am also not seeing what you are seeing with regards to Bert.

[Sakura Hana]

Prod dodge or something.

[KoreanBBQ]

Yes SSK's action claim is filled with horse manure

And then when the SSK wagon dies down we get...

I'd also like to say that SSK may have made a bad Doc choice as town.

[geists]

Guess what, you're stuck with me the next few days.

[KoreanBBQ]

gif head V/LA until friday

Lynch Bert guys
