For what it matters, I was playing with my setup and built it around two ascetics before New York 196 (and the double machos) ever happened. It did make me more excited for the setup, though.In post 811, implosion wrote:In fact it's almost a point in favor of them both being town that podoboq, the mod, was one of the macho townies in that game; it seems likely that he saw that component of the setup design, liked it, and reinterpreted it for whatever setup we have here to get two town ascetics.eagerSnake - "Fwiw mod steals pagetops while driving.

Mostly because your reads were on point, and a good town should have auto town-read you based on your early and fervent defense of eagerSnake. There are also bonus WiFoM points where you were such an obvious target if boring was scum, and clearly scum wouldn't be that obvious, right?In post 17, MariaR wrote:Did scum say why they killed meeagerSnake - "Fwiw mod steals pagetops while driving.

I think you have to go for the Jailkeeper first, and hope that he jails the Cop for protection. Otherwise, you risk that he protects the Cop and you just lose your kill.In post 24, eagerSnake wrote:

I probably wouldn't. You might be right. There's an argument for either decision here. It's not an easy position the mafia is left in, especially considering a Deputy will just replace the Cop.In post 26, eagerSnake wrote:If you were jailer would you jail the cop?eagerSnake - "Fwiw mod steals pagetops while driving.

11th hour MVP for town.
In post 2899, BlackVoid wrote:As far as reads go, I spent most of the time I was spectating from D1 onwards thinking that Boring, Prism, and LUV were the scumteam because I was townreading everyone else. I was really sad to see Eagersnake lynched because despite being cc'd, he was really, really obvtown. Implosion was too and the cop investigation on him wasn't the best idea in my opinion.
While it'stechnicallypossible Zoronos is scum, I don't think his play around LUV looked like he was cc'ing a partner. For one, he did it way too quick instead of checking to see if town cc's him first. I don't find him scummy either way so I'll safely eliminate him from suspicion along with Implosion. That leaves me with four players: Boring, Prism, nn30, and Dierfire.
Boring is the one I'm most confident is scum. D1 play had a lot of scum motivation, and I found some of her posts to be really manipulative. The nightkill only cemented that. In hindsight, the fact that four confirmed townies were voting her is another mark against her. Frankly, I'm surprised she it made this far when she should have been lynched D1 over Eagersnake. But everyone's finally coalesced on a scumread of her so better late than never I guess. By the way, her attack on my predecessor today was really bad too. Despite being so wrong early on, it was SO obvious that Shadow_Step was town based on how he cc'd Eagersnake.
I was scumreading Prism all the way up until he said he was going to replace out. I don't think scum would ever do that out of frustration from being caught. It's just poor sportsmanship especially if Shadow had called the scumteam. I get that this may be a controversial reason to have a read but Prism's almost replacing out pretty much confirms him as town for me. But I'm making a note to ISO him just to be sure.
So, I'm fairly confident boring's partner is between Dierfire and nn30. Knowing I was wrong about Prism, one of my townreads on either Dierfire or nn30 is also wrong. It seems the consensus is that Dierfire is boring's partner but I think I want to read both their ISOs to see if I feel the same way as the others.
In the meantime, @Implosion, if you could explain to me why nn30 is town (or just link me to posts if you've done this already), that would be fantastic. I was actually leaning the opposite way (nn30 being scummier than Dierfire) but that's from memory and I need to re-read. Either way, I want to go with Boring first since that's who I think will definitely flip scum, and then worry about who her partner is tomorrow.eagerSnake - "Fwiw mod steals pagetops while driving.

Prism legit wanted to replace because he was so mad at Shadow_step. It wasn't a gambit, unless he is just obscenely overacting in the scum thread. I would have given him an earful myself if I thought he was gambiting, and might have force replaced him on principal.eagerSnake - "Fwiw mod steals pagetops while driving.

I'm finally at home, at my desk, and can delve into this.In post 101, Shadow_step wrote:The site explicitly States that mild abuse is allowed. If someone is that thin skinned they can fuck off literally.
Another thing is all I care about when I'm playing is winning so shit like that happens.
Don't take my abuse seriously, I only use it to vent my frustration and it works great. Scientifically proven.
You're right that the site rules are explicit that being an insulting prick is totally allowed. It's how this game works. You never broke that rule, and you never went over a line where I would have even considered having you removed. I was legitimately disappointed that you replaced out, because you were not doing anything unacceptable in the context of the game, and I would have been happy to see you remain in until the end. That said, the way you played is not good.
The way you played this game (whether or not it's indicative of who you are in-person) was overwhelmingly arrogant and condescending. It made town not to work with you, even when all signs showed that you were town. Your reads were often on point, but nobody trusted them, because your interpersonal skills in this game were kinda trash. Reading people is only half of the town game. Getting people to trust and respect you is the other half, and that's not just all about being able to towntell. Part of that is being likable.
More than that, it made people enjoy the game less. It's not gonna ruin somebody's day if you were a dick to them on mafiascum, but over a long enough period of time, maybe they decide the game's not fun any more, and they want to replace out because it's just not worth it. This game is supposed to be fun, and when you're an asshole to people, it becomes less fun. Do you not see that?eagerSnake - "Fwiw mod steals pagetops while driving.

Also, you called the game bastard WAY too many times, when it absolutely isn't. Other players aren't going to respond to that with "Shadow_step seems like a reasonable fella." You were wrong about the setup, you were wrong about Eager, and you were wrong about the people who trusted Eager. I believe a little humility along those lines would have gone a LONG way to other players respecting your opinions more.eagerSnake - "Fwiw mod steals pagetops while driving.

Rant over for now. I've been sitting on it for a while. Shadow_step, I like you, and I liked watching you play the game. It was frustrating at times, but I think players like you give the game more variance, and I think mafia is better for it. Not respecting the full ramifications of your play, though, is irresponsible and short sighted.eagerSnake - "Fwiw mod steals pagetops while driving.

I've said this before, but apparently I need to say it again.In post 256, Shadow_step wrote:Let's threaten to get replaced to get town read and make the other guy replace out by say BS about another player because he was the only one scum reading you.
Prism legit wanted to replace. He wanted to replace out because the game stopped being fun. The game stopped being fun because you were an insufferable asshole, and he knew that he couldn't waste the nightkill on you because you were useless to the town.
You replaced out because you couldn't handle that town wouldn't cooperate with you. Town wouldn't cooperate with you because you were a hostile jerk, and you proved your lack of value when it came to evaluating the game by calling two ascetics bastard all of day one and day two, as well as just being generally uncooperative and dickish toward people in the game.
Can you at leastTRYto learn a little humility here? Like, any at all?

Also, yeah, if Prism was fake replacing as a gambit, I'd postgame modkill him, or whatever punitive action I would be allowed to take. It's gaming the system, and it's unfair.
He wasn't seeking to game the system, though. He wanted to leave, and for completely understandable reasons. People shouldn't be forced to play games that other players make insufferable.eagerSnake - "Fwiw mod steals pagetops while driving. Still think they wouldn't put in 2 people with ascetic?"-

So he said to the entire Mafia PT, and as somebody who's been following along, and who was also infuriated at points, it read it as entirely genuine.In post 260, PenguinPower wrote:

He wasn't seeking to game the system, though. He wanted to leave, and for completely understandable reasons. People shouldn't be forced to play games that other players make insufferable.
Replacements for reasons other than real life situations are crap, IMO.Last edited by podoboq on Mon Nov 28, 2016 3:38 pm, edited 1 time in total.eagerSnake - "Fwiw mod steals pagetops while driving. Still think they wouldn't put in 2 people with ascetic?"-

Mafia's supposed to be fun. The second it stops being fun, I understand replacing out.In post 262, PenguinPower wrote:K. Doesn't invalidate point 2.
If you get bored by games easily, you shouldn't join them in the first place, but if you find yourself in the middle of one without the attention span to do it justice, replace.
If you get annoyed by other players easily, learn to cope with it, or stop playing. He learned to cope with it, and had a very small and very fast outburst. Seems fine to me.eagerSnake - "Fwiw mod steals pagetops while driving. Still think they wouldn't put in 2 people with ascetic?"-

I don't need to, because he committed absolutely no offense. If town loses the game because they thought the replace request was alignment indicative, they deserve to lose.In post 264, Gamma Emerald wrote:If you have to post game modkill Prism the town should have this counted as a win, since he was the last scum.eagerSnake - "Fwiw mod steals pagetops while driving.

Everything you do impacts the reads of players in the game, and everything you do in this game stems from emotion. The problem with a hypothetical replace-gambit is that if I begin responding to it, the gamestate becomes irreparable. He rescinded it in the middle of the night, thirty minutes after making it. If I had started replacing him, he'd be gone, but I didn't see it until several hours later, so no damage was caused. Again, if town is going to use that as some way to read his alignment, that's on them.In post 265, PenguinPower wrote:...that impacted the reads of players in the game.eagerSnake - "Fwiw mod steals pagetops while driving.

I agree. I think it was irresponsible. I don't believe, however, that it was damaging to the game state in any meaningful way. It just had the potential to be.In post 269, MariaR wrote:It's one of those things were I would just keep my mouth shut I don't think he had any ill intent it just really sucks
That's fair. I'll let him speak for himself when the game is over. I think it's fair to take offense to his replace request, but I wanted to set the record straight that it was not a gambit, and that if it were, I would not have simply allowed it.In post 270, PenguinPower wrote:I wasn't, and I'm not, suggesting that you should have/should do anything. And, as I said above, if town loses, we deserve to.
My comment(s) are entirely about, and to, Prism.eagerSnake - "Fwiw mod steals pagetops while driving. Still think they wouldn't put in 2 people with ascetic?"-

Force replacing Shadow_step was never on the table. He never broke any of the site rules, no matter how hardheaded he was.In post 272, boring wrote:@Shadow - No, as podoboq already stated, that was genuine. He asked for a sub out in the mafia thread too. I figured you would be forcibly replaced, if you kept it up much longer. This is a game. We play for the fun and the challenge of it. Dealing with someone so erratic, aggressive, and petulant isn't anyone's idea of "fun" (regardless of alignment).
It all worked out for town, though. I don't think you would have pulled off my lynch. Black Void got the job done neatly.
P-edit! Wow, ninja'd hard.eagerSnake - "Fwiw mod steals pagetops while driving. Still think they wouldn't put in 2 people with ascetic?"-

Looking good for Prism. Even if he doesn't convince BlackVoid, I'm pretty sure he's got nn30, and that's all he needs.eagerSnake - "Fwiw mod steals pagetops while driving. Still think they wouldn't put in 2 people with ascetic?"-

I agree. I can't replace them, because we're a week from the game ending. It's basically set in stone, but they just refuse to either participate or end it.eagerSnake - "Fwiw mod steals pagetops while driving. Still think they wouldn't put in 2 people with ascetic?"-

This game is currently proving that with the right town, scum can win by doing nothing.eagerSnake - "Fwiw mod steals pagetops while driving. Still think they wouldn't put in 2 people with ascetic?"-

I mean the extent to which he's doing nothing. It's LYLO, and Prism is basically just prod dodging right now, and nobody cares, because they're just prod dodging too.In post 353, implosion wrote:Did that really need proving?

It's like the forum equivalent of standing cross-armed, tapping your foot, and then checking your watch. These three have FOUR days to actually do something, and I feel like it's not going to happen.eagerSnake - "Fwiw mod steals pagetops while driving.
