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

[Flower]

Can you tell me how you read Gad? Because all I see here is you two fluffing back and forth and then you go hurp yea he town.

I think the interaction you quoted has shown that he put his thoughts into what he wrote in his own adorable way lmfao. It’s hard to explain tho and mostly a gut feeling.

Is Waki an experienced player?

Idk how many games he’s played so far, but he’s certainly not a newbie anymore.

Youve got about 32 hours. 11 votes to lynch.​

 

[Sharter Holmes]

Can I hear your read on me? I feel like I remember you mentioning me earlier but I want to know if that read has expanded or changed since

Feel like you're doing too much. You were largely inactive and then you ask for reads on you the moment you've come back. You tryna look more inquisitive than you actually have been here?

 

[Flower]

Unvote.

 

[Poyser]

Like, you can clearly see Sky has her own reasons for voting you @Evans .

She thought about what kind of player you are and what you would do here.

So ya, that’s not sheeping at all.

Except she literally copied what I’d already said

 

[Poyser]

That’s like the definition of sheeping

 

[Poyser]

Kinda like wazi coming in and pushing a direction that nobody else has mentioned

 

[Flower]

Except she literally copied what I’d already said

???

Where?

 

[Poyser]

Champ you aren't trying to pocket me are ya buddy?

He didn't mention the (more recent) game where he casted this read on me and I turned out to be scum and slit his throat

Tbf think if you’ve murdered him in a game before, he’d probably not choose to come in and hang off your side lol, especially if it backfired last time. I know he was town and you were scum that time, but it would still make him wary of doing it

 

[Poyser]

Eh I still can’t really shake the feeling that everything flower is doing is so fake lol

But on the other hand I really can’t see her both trying to engage me early AND trying to antagonise ultra early as scum. Seems way out of her wheelhouse

But the claim thing and the shit ultra pointed out around her posts on the vote count just make me think she’s full of shit

 

[Poyser]

I would say I see a chance for Ultra vs Poyser to be Town vs Town as well. I don’t see the usual Town Macho bite from either so far and I think both having doubts on each other cuz of essentially that kinda adds up from a Town pov.

Idk why you’re framing it as him vs me. I haven’t scum read him or pushed back really. It’s hardly a thunderdome

 

[Poyser]

I don’t like to think about that game so I think about the one with a happier ending for me

This post kinda sus tho lol

 

[Flower]

Idk why you’re framing it as him vs me. I haven’t scum read him or pushed back really. It’s hardly a thunderdome

It’s still an argument.

 

[Lord Melkor]

See I disagree, I think it reads more that she's trying convince people she is

I have played a lot of games with Flower, did you?

 

[Flower]

What’s my scum motivation to say that?

 

[Lord Melkor]

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

Those thoughts seem genuine, may be town

 

[Ratchet]

Why are you assuming I have to be scum here? That’s just poor play

I'm not assuming anything. You're responding to a post where I explain the read I currently have on Ultra, which necessitates me explaining how you are related to it (given that I read him town based off of your play around him, in part), instead of responding to the post where I tell you about the read on you. You're free to go and respond to that one, it will be in your alerts.

As an aside, I don't find your defence particularly compelling. There is this post, for example, but mainly your primary defence is that you're just too good as scum to get caught Day 1. Maybe you're the greatest scum player ever, but even the best can get suspected early. In fact, play anywhere long enough and you're likely to draw suspicion by default. So it doesn't really mean anything to me. I think it is interesting, though, that you opt not to be defending yourself on your own merits of this game, but rather upon this meta you believe you have that we obviously can't be aware of.

Last thing on this, you note that it's poor play- why does it have to be poor play from me, and not scum play?

 

[Ratchet]

Those thoughts seem genuine, may be town

Really?

 

[Poyser]

Not sure what to think about this tbh. At face value this sounds like a pretty scummy kinda duel in its modalities. Could be that hime was given instructions to claim all of this asap since if she only claims it at the time the duel is needed, chances are that if she then goes oh yeah and I replace the lynch, and oh yeah y'all only have 12 hours left now, people turn their backs on her.

I genuinely still don't know how mechanically savvy of a player hime is, gonna keep reading and maybe expand on this

Oh akshully I didn't think of this, could actually have a bit of town utility outside of the obvious part then

Kinda wanna town read this for basically going through the exact same thought process as me lol

Tho I don’t really like the avenue you took with Hime herself, seems a weird assumption to make

 

[Flower]

calls my play fake
fails to establish why I as scum draw such unnecessary attention towards me

Srsly this is weaksauce.
