Game Ranked Hades Mafia - Game Thread

Oh I agree that Orca and Polar are both being glazed over way too much for my liking. Though I'm curious how do you feel about Retro if somehow both Magic and Orca end up being town? Magic's defense of Orca in day 1 was particularly bizarre and not in line with his normal play dealing with that sort of behavior.

Also iirc Gramm frequently makes use of fake claims for scum players? I'm kind of hesitant about Nible's subtle flavor claim.
 
There's a couple aspect of Magic's play that I find hard to explain from scum him.

Deciding to pick up the gauntlet with Aurelian in the middle of Day 1 for example just seems like poor scum calculus. No shot he actually thinks that takes off. Best explanation is that he was trying to tie him to Ekko, but I think in general I think it's easier to explain as sensing a subtle bit of offness there and questioning it.

Worst part of his Day 1 was his read of Orca which did seem like TMI lol. Not totally irreconcilable either.

But overall on Ekko, even though he's I guess a bit of a late arrival all his posts to him look fairly good.
 
Yes I don’t think if it was up to him that he would have killed CP, I do stand by that. That said there’s so much that could have happened here, including protecting teammates or letting teammates make the decision, even the fact that it may not have been the mafia kill etc. it made me want to give him the benefit of the doubt but it’s not really enough to override his play

I also thought he was scummy on day 1 as well, I don’t remember much about his play around Ekko but I don’t think it was particularly strong? Fairly sure it started by him saying he will leave his vote there whilst he catches up cos he was the main wagon, and after that we are getting into bus territory so from memory at least I don’t think we can rule out them being aligned
 
Him being in the last voting Ekko is criminal and indicates bussing.
 
Who brought back Retro into the heat that causes the initial wagon on Ekko to drop from -2 to 4-5 votes back in day 1?
 
Why?

You had him as town yesterday. Might be something to that. Think he gets that result from you and approaches you the way he did?
Huh

I never had him as town, in fact I’m the one that started forcing his claim lol. I did say his reaction to me and his result felt kinda towny but then also he would legit have that result even if he’s scum Roletracker etc
 
why is xadlin and ratchet green
why is me alco and tpein red
Since no one has done it

the nulls may point to something or I'm biased

ill leave magic to my right hand man poyser

ill handle ultra

MHW all over again

dofla melkor ratchet ultra magic cp lethal tpein luka

i think i might have gave luka too much benefit of doubt from interaction with dofla initially
lmao
is that supposed to intimidate me? i sus 4/6 of those and wont doubt like 2-3 on this wagon r scum
Good point! Thank you, Ekko
what if ekko flips town, where do u go?
I just want to point out he didn't refer to himself in first person, this is a slip
Flipflops here
but i still think poyser is town and cp is lean town for his post to retro.

i also came around to seeing luka as town despite his main directions being shit

feel like ur trying to frame it to make me look scummy without really committing to it

magic who u have as scum rn

already ahead of u there magic

and u sus me for having the same read and reason too, what gives
Yawn
Going back to this list in a bit to edit it with confirmed town in the null pile
this is arguing semantics

ur presence vanished, i don't sense movement from u as much anymore

what have u done after the early game? why shud i keep my lean town on u when u moved from retro to me and done nothing else of value?
Lmao
because the case is utter dogshit, id rather die and let town live with their mistake

ive left my solve, interacted with players, did what i can from my PoV. the rest is up to u guys
Theatrics
Read on Poy reads like TMI the most here honestly
Jumps from a definitive read on me then jumps to Poy to probably attempt a wagon on him if he didn't get one on me
xadlin shud be in the lean town not town section, im sleepy as shit lol

forgot to put poyser there too in the same section
TMI

Shifting read on Poy
magic whats ur read of me?
Digging for an opinion
Just a post that doesn't enlighten me personally, someone might see whether it pings them
Flipflops on Luka
because watson just claimed and i wasnt gonna claim b4 her for ego purposes

why not, he knows the flavor
Overall: Not that it gives any concrete info here but his play around Magic can go either way and I'm not sure what to make of it because he's wriggling and clawing for a way out

Magic is promoted to Captain Coinflip now
These slots should never be lynched:
Poy
Luka

Ekko's play toward them flipflops less than his other reads imo, implies he's not quite sure how to execute his read on them, so he's throwing crap out there as an intimidation tactic probably

Don't think his scumplay is heavily reliant reverse psychology, so I'm also ruling that out for now - his play is just chaotic by default so parsing his reads means there's probably a couple of slips here I need to look at with more detail

Seems he might be throwing mates under the bus but all of this behavior and erratic solving implies obvious desperation. But who was he most desperate to try to counterwagon? Was he like trying to throw names out there that were completely random or was he trying to get a lynch on a mate

If there's a deepwolf, it means the heavy bussing theory may be on the table because imo experienced scum would see Ekko wouldn't survive regardless and it was doomed from the start
If there's a less experienced deepwolf (or wolves rather than LHF) it implies his mates and him were struggling and it got out of control

I hope this makes sense

@Poyser
You have limited time so here's the tl;dr
So for the two scenarios (im, this is all just my takeaway) that may be at play here, which do you think is most likely? Are there any connections you can make in these posts that might place others in the primary PoE?
 
And why are you answering questions for me this is exactly the shit you would criticise someone else for

If you're actually scum reading me you let me defend my own push
Because the question was dumb and already explained by you. Tweets question showed he had no awareness of what was otherwise obvious.

As far as my play being all over the place, the majority of people have voted and won't budge their votes. If everyone sits on their hands then we'll accomplish nothing.

I am not scum reading you. I was following ultra.
 
Agree that the call for mass claim was really bizarre tho
 
Huh

I never had him as town, in fact I’m the one that started forcing his claim lol. I did say his reaction to me and his result felt kinda towny but then also he would legit have that result even if he’s scum Roletracker etc

Well basically it depends on how you think he would approach you after having roletracked you, I dunno your role but needless to say if you had something that was obviously not easy to push that information would probably effect how he treated you

Especially if he has a team backing him there's benefit to keeping that information confidential.

This isn't very strong since he was pushed to claim mind you
 
Have you actually read my posts or are you just using the votes themselves to push whatever you want? Can you even tell me what my main points of contention are on Orca?
Your issue with his usage, him tracking hime that he didn't even scum read, and his inconsistent explanations


All of.that he still could have done as town
 
I would assume 'indirectly establish player alignment' would be something like a track on a VT for example but clarification would be good I agree
That doesn’t make any sense lol because at no point can you get someone’s alignment from tracking them

Indirectly would be like covering Gads role where different things happen depending on the alignment of someone he targets
