Game Ranked Wildlife Mafia

[Poyser]

Not sure if him and ratchet would be scum together, haven’t really parsed it. I can see this coming from town ratchet as I vaguely remember having a similar conversation with him in the past about pushing me for dumb/lazy reasons and he was town. My gut still says he’s probably scum tho

In fact, him trying to dirty me based on a flip that hasn’t happened yet is pretty out of his book as scum. In a past game I was defending Luka and he was scum and ratchet was scum and ratchet tried to make me look bad from luka being “obviously scum” or whatever. Basically done the same thing with me not town reading Watson here. Obviously if ratchet is scum then Watson is likely town and he’s using the fact that he knows that to make me look bad

 

[Poyser]

Whereas gram’s play strikes me as actually overtly scummy, so I’d put more confidence in that one

 

[Poyser]

Vote aurelian

overall vibe from poyser is probable scum trying to muddy waters. Will be happy to lynch either

Also, I’m telling you now that if gram is town here and thinks me and Aurelian are scum there’s like a 0% chance he’d be going for Aurelian over me

Especially when there’s already been support for lynching me from strong, influential players. He’d take that opportunity pretty much 100% of the time

In fact, wonder if there’s equity between gram and Aurelian here and he’s doing this for appearances

 

[Ratchet]

No, because to take a real swing at you, I’d actually have to present a reason why I think you’re scum, give other people a reason to vote and try and engage you etc. None of which I did. Why? The obvious answers are I’m scum or I’m town who couldn’t get my direction and was unsure where to go next

I don't agree with this premise. I think you can take a swing at someone without having a particularly compelling reason for it. That's actually what my interpretation of your post was - your push on Watson crumbled away, for reasons that in part are not strictly within the realm of Mafia, but rather the way she responded, and you were left looking pretty bad from it. And so to try and shore that up you come to voting me without it really lining up or indeed going anywhere.

But the thing is, even if you think my interpretation isn't accurate, which of course you and you alone would know at this point, I don't see how it leads to me having to be scum for it lol.

Problem with assuming I’m scum based on it is… I can fake direction and conviction? I can literally make up any reason to push anybody I want to? So what do you think my goal was by conceding on Watson and then just throwing a yolo vibe vote on you, with it never being likely that anybody was going to follow me and me not making any effort to convince them. What do you think I’m doing if I’m scum?

I mean, you can, but it doesn't mean that you can suspect anyone in the game and it will all line up and look consistent and be hard to question too, right? Because that's actually what I'm arguing here - that you did come up an angle, but said angle I find to be pretty weak as far as how it leads to your conclusion.

I'd rather not get into arguing what your intention is as scum because it starts to shift the argument into something like "I would never do this as scum", if I had to theorise it would be that you realised that your position looked pretty bad so you threw a bit of a hail mary while attempting to make the rest of your associations with players hard to read into (which is something I expect you to be doing as scum at this junction). As for why me in particular, presumably you'd find it easier to engage me than Gram or Tempest. That's the theory, but to stress, my argument is not "this has to be the exact thought process you went through as scum, for you to be scum".

 

[Aurelian]

Kinda tempted to switch direction here ngl

Yeah fuck it

vote gram



Bro being slimy as fuck

I can vibe with this tbdean. He's putting a lot of smoke out but there isn't any real fire behind it. The casual dismissal of the addressing of how Watson isn't playing in tune to her typical town meta from past games and zero effort to explain it beyond that doesnt help.

Would prefer voting her our since I'm certain that if she flips as scum, Gram gets buried alive and he can't pivot off her now without having to do a lot of dancing.

Vote Lynch Grammaton

 

[Grammaton]

You’ve called me probably scum twice and yet haven’t voted me nor given a reason why. Seems like you’re just trying to egg on ratchet and cp. You also tried to dissuade Watson from town reading me early doors for no apparent reason. In fact I don’t think you’ve engaged with me directly even once! Why?

Why did you vote Aurelian?

This is all pretty transparent and fairly easily debunked, so for anyone who actually reads this stuff, here goes.

• Watsons reason for town reading you was just plain wrong. The fact youre trying to say i did this for no reason is laughable, for reasons that should be obvious to you
• Id like you to point out any post where i am specifically 'egging' ratchet or CP.
• Weve engaged, about Watson. A conversation where by your standsrds, not mine, you tried to dissuade me from town reading watson despite the large circumstantial evidence pointing to her innocence
• Voting Aurelian cause i think its a good direction, for reasons ive already given

There you go, easy enough.

In return, full reads list please

Nah, not sure how you find any equity or parity between me and Gram. He was sort of like this in the last game and most likely has to do with how many and often times he can't read me correctly.

 

[Ratchet]

You think so? I don't see that really, I think Watson could flip scum and Gram would be pretty safe.

I’m sorry, but this is absolute shit

 

[Aurelian]

I believe so yeah. I don't think for a second you or anyone else with a healthy amount of skepticism would brush off a potential scum flip that he tried to prevent and call it a day.

Can we get those reads please Poyser

I’ve already given a full reads list very recently

You’re egging them on by saying things like I’m probable scum when they’re pushing me, but not joining in the push yourself. Pretty textbook example of egging on lmao

And I wasn’t “dissuading you from town reading Watson”, I was pushing her… you weren’t pushing me, you just decided to tell her not to town read me. Trying to act like they’re the same is laughable

And we engaged on something initiated by me, and about someone else. You obviously know what I mean. You’ve not engaged me about me, you haven’t engaged me off your own back. You’ve just sat around mentioning me by name without talking to me

 

[Ratchet]

Spoiler

...huh?

Gay

He isn't tho...

Gonna chalk that up to Towntro tbh. Dunno if openly going back and forth is something she'd do as scum

How do you even remember tha-

Anyways, man seems more confident answering questions this time around

You said sky didn't look good earlier. What changed? She didn't post too much since.

Honestly, I don't remember much of your play but you're coming off as so scummy I'll place you town.

GAD bro what do you think of me. Nobody else is here to talk to so I’m stuck with you. Sad

Kinda respect this

Motherfucker why would this be sad?

Fang's on Ratchet and Sky unvoted

Damn tiddy

Gonna say town just cause I dunno why you would, as scum, bring up retro or any single member up so much.

But I can't read you muh dude, consistently bad at it.

Idk about this chief

I’d have to bring up somebody a lot if I was trying to push them, as either alignment

Because I’m drunk but I need to be wasted to decipher your shit and I’m not there yet

Wasn't talking pushes. Just generally focusing on them ig. It still ties you to a person and creates opportunities for you being in PoE based on their play. I see you avoiding that as scum.

I see more questioning around him as opposed to questioning him this game. He's not as active in the front so far as I've read

I'm... rooting for you you muppet fucker

This pings me. First I thought you were just prodding, but then I realized you were just commentating from the sidelines. You weren't quoting or tagging Fang with those particular thoughts. I'm not sure I like that birdy

Huh? Ratchet? What?




What?

Disagree. Ekko gets paranoid over slots that appease him like that. If I noticed that, CP definitely has.

Damnit, shoulda read the whole thing before I responded

Okay, now do you think that him looking better so far this game might be because he's not been questioned anywhere near as ferociously?

Do you think Ekko has felt particularly paranoid this game?

I think he's paranoid every game, give it time

I didn't really really say he looked better but yeah. That's fair to say.

Retro didn't vote anyone, what are you talking about?

Gonna put Ral in town for now. Questions feel genuine and if he were scum I'd expect a more noticeable autocorrection on his part. More open to putting himself out here.

Literally read her first post in the game ?

That... what???

What???

What???

I felt this what so loudly I'll hear it all the way down post #874

Someone explain what Poyser's seeing that I'm not seeing

Bro what the fuck are you talking about

You replied to a post saying that Watson voted a NON PLAYER and then dipped

Her literal first post is her voting ultra and then not posting for like 13 hours

What exactly are you confused about ???

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I thought he meant an inactive why am I so dumb?

Nowhere Retro

Nowhere.

I need to read a book fml

But, Fang did go for Boobs for no reason.

Nipples woulda remembered that.

No

WHY DID I THINK THIS WAS BIDEN LMFAOOOOO

I liked the way she claimed

Kek, just started the stormlight archive and I wanna catchup before the 5th book releases but each mofo is like 1000 pages long help me

But a couple people asked her to claim here tho, it feels more reactive to what's been happening around her tbh

Your Gaddar must be tweeking

No wait.

Tweeting

He's saying I'm fake, idk what to say to that

Gonna park my vote here for now cause I'm busy and can't read the last 5 pages really

Vote Lynch Poyser

So I appreciate that there are a lot of quotes here. Basically what I want to demonstrate is that Gad goes from having a town read on Poyser, defends the town read, and then ends up voting Poyser at the end of his catch up, and I'm really struggling to see why he gets there.

@Sharter Holmes I don't recall saying I didn't feel good about Sky. I'll go back and check but I don't remember that. If I did say it then, er... it's forgotten.

I’m probably somewhere around here. Tbh I’m not entirely sure which direction I even want to go here so I think I’m gonna stick on ratchet as he’s probably the player I feel worse about. I mentioned earlier that he basically said when someone asked him to read me and someone else that he’d put me as scum but it’s not a real read and then when asked about it, he acted like it WAS a fully fleshed out read. I’ll get the quotes in a sec

He also just made a really bad point when he voted me, saying that I thought I have to take a swing at someone so went for him even though I had nothing to explain it. It’s pretty dumb, because as scum if I feel like I have to take a swing at someone then I would ya know… take a swing at them. Acting like I couldn’t think up a reason to vote him as scum is incredibly poor framing. I’d think as town, ratchet would take that into account rather than just saying I’m scum because of it. He has seen me play as scum multiple times, after all. That’s not my game even slightly

Can we get those reads please Poyser

You can add Watson as town too

 

[Poyser]

You think so? I don't see that really, I think Watson could flip scum and Gram would be pretty safe.

Why would he be safe?

 

[Aurelian]

Also this whole "trying to repeat" the last game stuff from him is something I'll point out that doesn't have any evidence beyond the claim itself

The guy is just full of it.

Haven’t you missed a quote here? I’m fairly sure there’s a post where he basically says he is following you

 

[Ratchet]

Why would he be safe?

Nothing about his position on Watson has cone across as unfair or unreasonable. Given several others share the read, I don't think it's anything he can't defend pretty easily actually if she ends up being scum. He can also point to trying to get something out of her earlier in the game which is more than most slots have done.

I didn't see that. I'll go back and check, maybe it came after the vote.
