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

[Flower]

I swear sometimes you base your assumptions on completely arbitrary personal standards without considering what the person hosting would actually do. Gram has literally given mafia a census

I‘m literally aware of that. But you’re making it out to be a broken info gathering role for scum when it‘s even less info than a census.

 

[Sparkles]

You haven’t dismissed it have you?

Have I unvoted?

 

[Evans]

I feel like between pages 10 and 40, I read a lot about Poyser, Flower, Ultra, and Sparkles and their relationships with one another. They all townread each other but are arguing about something, with the exception that Ultra scumreads Poyser. And not much about anything else.

Maybe with exception that Champ started to be suspected by couple of people.

It's strange to see how much Poyser was arguing with Flower and Sparkles, considering they are all townreading each other.

Throughout pages 10 to 40, Evans remained the top wagon, with not much happening to the other wagons.

It’s odd.

Very good post.

This whole interaction here is sketchy as fuck, especially when you put it into the context I've quoted alongside it from Tempest.

I was feeling the same until ultra pointed out the thing about her being gleeful about evans being nearly hammered whereas she usually wants to slow burn it and worry about an executioner. then she later used execution worry as a reason for unvoting. in retrospect could see the "I feel like claiming" post to be similarly hammed up to play into her meta. Also felt like she was being unfair in her exchanges with evans in a way that started to feel a bit SLIMY to me

Vote CP.

Is this really just because he’s entertaining the possibility that you’re scum?

Like, I don't even think CPs accusation she could be slimy was intense enough to warrant how far she turned on CP and how quickly from the level of belief she was riding on him before when pushing me. She also has flipped her read on me like CP has to town.

Her big support for thinking I was scum was that she was backed by Tempest accusation that I was appeasing people with my early game play. If she thinks CP is scum, why is she following along by reading me town and not considering she's swaying with the person she now thinks is scum?

Definitely think as players like Temp and Ratchet have started discussing the possibility of her being scum, she's suddenly started crazy leaning into her meta and that's definitely in Poysers toolbox to push her to do.

 

[Ultra]

I‘m literally aware of that. But you’re making it out to be a broken info gathering role for scum when it‘s even less info than a census.

No you claimed it's literally useless to scum and therefore would never be implemented and that's silly.

Could just be a modifier to some aspect of their role or something as well

 

[Flower]

Why are people talking about it akin to a census. It literally makes no sense lmao. It’s yes/no questions??
M

Tbf this is the first time I‘m encountering an Oracle if legit.

 

[Poyser]

Have I unvoted?

No, but you did say it was a very strong role so I’m assuming you’re considering it…?

 

[Ultra]

H do we think there's an execute in this game to begin with?

I H

 

[Poyser]

Tbf this is the first time I‘m encountering an Oracle if legit.

Ok
I really don’t think I can explain it without giving it away lol but fuck it - I was going to ask if there were more than 3 vanilla players in the game

 

[Poyser]

Like I have to guess a number so it could/could not be powerful depending on the answer. 3 feels about right to be useful tho. Obv the problem is that if the answer is yes then it doesn’t help that much, so maybe I should up it to 4

 

[hime]

Can you provide reasons for any of these scum reads or did you divine this from a horoscope or something

u r treating poyser the exact same way u bussed me in mhw
ik u and poyser r good at mad lvls of distancing, such as what u both pulled in traitors mafia

the exchange just feels hella fake, im not buying it

admittedly i like poyser more than u this game but i think he has been trending down
i think i gave him a town read far too quickly early game
now his reaction around the claiming bit just seemed so weird like he was stalling for an ok from his teammates or something

for ratchet, i dont think hes playing like his usual townie self in any degree
he is far more apathetic than usual and doesnt really seem all that interested in the positions that hes taking and pushing
i associate the apathy more with his scum play
that plus also i felt that he jumped the gun on reads a bit during fluff stages

rdk i put bc i dont agree with his push on aurelian at all
i feel like aurelian has been like his town self
moreover he brings up aurelian lying as if its some smoking gun when he knows aurelian very well and knows that its not out of character for him to say things that arent necessarily true
it felt like a very easy direction to latch onto and make it look like ur "doing stuff"

 

[Flower]

Hmmmm.

 

[RDK]

moreover he brings up aurelian lying as if its some smoking gun when he knows aurelian very well and knows that its not out of character for him to say things that arent necessarily true

show me where I did this, please and thanks

 

[Ultra]

Know what I don't have a problem with most of this actually

You're still ass for landing on me as the first pick though

 

[Ratchet]

There’s a pretty powerful question that I consider a very standard question to ask with this role that can help the entire game but I’d rather not get too deep into it because on the off chance scum don’t already know what I’m talking about, I don’t want to tip them off

You guys are either gonna let me get it off or lynch me today anyway so no real need in letting it out

How could scum affect this though? I mean other than killing you? I ask because that seemed to be a point of concern for you but seems to be quite hard to actually affect outside of shooting you N1.

 

[RDK]

yeah but I'm not voting him for lying am I, I'm voting him for the things I mentioned and the way he has handled the push

the lying is just extra if you need it

I don't even think Aurelian was lying fwiw, he said he thought I was being toxic (which I assume means he actually mixed up my entrance post with my post vote and thought I was spiting him (even though I have no reason to do so)) so it's plausible he genuinely was just confused by my post order.

hime trending steadily downwards

 

[Evans]

There's literally no dialogue to be had. I've presented my case and don't really agree with his directions. Nobody has discussed this or really given a read on Poyser except like Ratchet.

I don't think he's been a real threat behind any wagon. Whilst he's active, he seems to be more interested in fanning flames. Look at how he's bumped around different wagons/people like myself and onto someone else and landing on Tweet. He's played coy around Aurelien with a bit of fence sitting as well.

I don’t scum read you either lol, I don’t have much of an opinion on you, but im wary of rdk hopping in the thread and pushing you based on stuff you do as town

I think ultra is probably town tho I’m getting less sure the longer he stays tunnelled on me. The reason I town read him in the first place was because I thought he’d do a better job of hamming up a push on me as scum but he’s doing a better job at that now!

Like this just seems to be redundant as a post.

 

[Ratchet]

this dp is gross af

i would throw ultra, poyser, ratchet, and rdk all into the scum pile tbh

Why?

 

[Poyser]

Well it gives them more time to think about their claims if they know what info is going to be available lol. But also yes, they might kill me if they’re worried about what I’m gonna bring, which wouldn’t be the end of the world considering where my spot is atm

 

[Flower]

Vote @Alco .

How is it redundant? I was explaining why I wasn’t voting Aurelian…..
Did you read the question I replied to?
