Game Official Ranked The Boys: Mafia - Game Thread (Day 6)

[SCCHAMP]

I did miss that but it doesn’t exactly answer the question since you think your fluff is NAI. Esp when you seemed to think his read of gad was generous too. You’d think you’d have more of an opinion on it lol or were you just happy he read you town?

I kinda like this post not for the content but just for the general idea of calling fluff nai because it generally is. I find it a bit annoying when people read into sod fluff or shitposting heavily so I just generally ignore it or hop right into the game myself

 

[Evans]

Yeah but you always say he can't read you lol. Just a bit surprised you'd have that expectation of him given your prior takes on this.

I like Ratchet for town

I disagree with him about Ultra tho, I buy the conference thing and him jabbing at Poyser doesn't feel like there's a ulterior motive to cause heat but genuinely game solving

 

[Wakizashi]

Flower's entrance reminds me of her entrance last game fwiw.

What was Flower's alignment last game?

 

[SCCHAMP]

I mean I’m not confident or anything on it. And he got scum on D1 last time he played so I’m more interested in where he goes from here tbh.

Not sure why hime felt the need too claim early; feels like trying to get ahead of being asked too claim given her fake got scrutiny last game. And well ending the lynch vote feels scummier in itself. We can just get her too use the duel and she’s already claimed so despite my stronger sus there; probably best too look at other ventures.

Eh I don’t really get the point of killing ultra just for the sake of it which is kinda what this entire idea reads to me. Let him play and if he’s not sounding genuine or his reads are dog you attack him later in the game

 

[SCCHAMP]

It's... It's Ultra.

See like this annoys me this is just a policy yeet atp and scum are going to use this and just ride with it

 

[Evans]

What made you feel this by page 8 btw, Melkor hasn't pinged me at that point

This is a good post, I like Sky so far too

 

[SCCHAMP]

Flowers constantly






199 posts in and Flower has made 3 different promises to kill people who don't read them as town. 1 time is whatever, 3 times in such quick succession smells like overcompensating and selling a story

Don’t know if this has been brought up again or anything but want to just make everyone aware of this post if not. I got weird vibes from flower start of game and I know that’s not really anything to go off of but the aggression here on any deviation from town pings me wrong. Especially on the last two

 

[Evans]

Any thoughts on Evans play so far

Evans/Poyser doing a wee bit of theatre earlier?

Don’t think so, think he got recruited from MU

Also vote evans

Gonna give ultra more time to cook. Kinda agree he’d have done a better job at hamming up a push on me if it were fake

Poyser ignoring a question about me then immediately voting after Ultras suggestion of a link between us is sketchy

 

[SCCHAMP]

Poyser and Ultra are expected to read me correctly. If they don’t arrive at a Town read on me they should be nuked.

These are almost unreal expectations. I have people I play with all the time and unless you’re that polarized, this should never be true tbh

 

[Evans]

It's possible they played some games together but I don't have any distinct memories of it

Is this a legit angle? I'm in the Discord lol

 

[Evans]

Unvote
Vote Evans

Anyway I feel good about this. When you say you're "glad to be back" and then limit your activity to briefly getting at 2 players, both of whom I reckon you consider low-hanging fruit... Nah

Doesn't change my read. I can't always be on my phone when I'm in work and play when I can. Games only been on for like 5 hours lol

 

[SCCHAMP]

She is sure you have to read her town, which is more likely to come from confident town.

Looking at it this could be true but the fact they’re pushing for people to force read them an alignment rather than letting them come to the decision naturally just strikes me as odd just because it hinders the whole process either Poyser or ultra has to get to that decision of flower town

 

[Evans]

Day 1 Vote Count 1

Poyser 1 - Ultra
Tempest 1 - Melkor
Ultra 2 - Hime, Gad
Evans 6 - Tempest, Poyser, Fuji, Flower, Sparkles, Sky

You have around 42 hours remaining. 11 to lynch.​

Why the fuck am I at 6 votes when I'd posted like 6 times and half of it fluff entrance into the game? I find it mental that in nearly 500 posts that me saying Flower looks like she's trying to convince us that she's town through bravado is the most debatable thing that's happened

 

[hime]

See like this annoys me this is just a policy yeet atp and scum are going to use this and just ride with it

LOL
ultra isn't a policy lynch

 

[SCCHAMP]

So to contextualize this, I also had some reservations about Poyser, but felt that some of his posts have been good enough to more or less shore up those reservations. So to see Ultra being as decisive as he is about his read felt off to me - he is not the same player as me, so I don't expect the same process, but I think his read lacks due consideration, and possibly is faking confidence. There is room for this to come from him as town too, so I'm not saying it makes him scum, but it's something that draws my attention. So to answer your question, I would say he feels performative in that he's taking a swing at Poyser moreso than he is genuinely coming to that read.

I liked Tempest's read on hime, Melkor, and while it came (I saw it rather) after I posted that, I liked his Evans read too. Like his read on you too but I don't have one on you really outside of a slight town lean on tone.

As for voting, too early for me to answer that. If I had to pick, I'd say Evans, because him coming in to take a swing at Flower is exactly what I would expect from him as scum and I've seen him do just that before.

Ultra stuff at the beginning is what I’m referring to.

I feel like this is just what he does and at least the town game I played with him last year, day 1 he hard pushed his ideas early and then backed off later in the day. But when it came to early in the phase he always came out guns blazing. Not saying it’s indicative of town but reading him mafia because of it just doesn’t feel right to me

 

[Flower]

What was Flower's alignment last game?

I was Town.

 

[Evans]

Oh you're on

You're in claim range btw

Also what's the issue with Flower

Just felt like her saying "you have to read me town or I'll lynch you" is a sales pitch from someone trying too hard to be confident. I don't think she's had any real push or target onto anyone.

On my wagon, Flower and Poysers votes are dirty IMO.

Flower hasn't really been a focal push behind my wagon but has just slipped onto it. I'd expect a bit more interaction around making it happen and leading the wagon, if she was such confident town that she could get people lynched.

Poysers vote after ignoring Tempest asking them his thoughts on me and then immediately after Ultra suggested us being linked is massively questionable.

Fuji quoting Poyser and following on actually makes me think it's just a sheep vote. Same as Junk & Sky.

Tempest I disagree with his thoughts that my points have been in bad faith but I don't think it's a scum motivation from the way he's tried to get interactions from others

 

[hime]

Yall no elim here?

Also sorry I meant to be back sooner but I got caught up and tbh I’m gonna be inactive after this bit I have rn because I have 2 hw assignments and a paper due in 5 hours.

speaking of this, i also have a paper due tonight that i should probs work on RIP

 

[SCCHAMP]

If you're convinced, you wouldn't be asking for others/input regarding reads on Poyser.

Coming across with less conviction doesn't equal you still not reading him a certain way.

Chat is sparkles a wolf?

 

[hime]

I was Town.

didnt u say u were going to sleep like hours ago lol
