This is as good of a time as any to say that 4 votes is X-1.

Are you saying you want someone to put the pasta at X-1?

No, the opposite.

If I voted for pasta, would you unvote?

This is a bastard game. You can trust what the mod tells you to a point. But some things I say may not be entirely true. Or not true in the way you think they are.

Does this include role pms? What about win conditions?

set up talk in a game where you are explicitly told the mod "may not be able to be trusted" seems pointless. and I fucking love set up talk.

Phil Connors wakes up in his bed and breakfast in Punxsutawney, ready to deliver an unenthusiastic news report about the groundhog looking for his shadow. Entirely focused on himself, he fails to notice that something is amiss in the town of Punxsutawney. The Punxsutawney mafia are lurking, looking for their chance to make trouble.

Vote Count 1.1

scolapasta (3): MiX, Galzria, Awaclus
Awaclus (1): Swowl
MiX (1): gkrieg13

Not voting (4): mathdude, WestCoastDidds, scolapasta, EFHW

With 9 alive, it takes 5 to exile.

Day 1 ends at 1:30 pm ET on January 8th.

Hey everyone!

MiX, it’s been awhile. Why should I believe that you are not scum this game?

I don't think joth would make this multiball.

MiX and Awaclus are scum.
Discuss.

Also, memes are always welcome, Didds

I wish, kinda, although I liked rolling town this game.

So if we can get past the pointless accusation stage... any one want to speculate on setup?

i.e. Groundhog's day - here's my attempt:

One of us is the Bill Murray character and if they get exiled of NKed then everyone who was killed before is "regenerated".

Not saying that would work as a game, maybe, but it would be thematic.

Pointless accusation stage is the best!

Vote: scola, let's see if you can escape a single RVS vote without making the scummiest post of the game.

Messi?

Vote: Scola

Why is random accusation stage worse than pointless setup speculation stage?

In fact, I would argue it quite the opposite - "Random Accusation" is never, in fact, random - and is far less so for scum than for town. And further, "Pointless Setup Speculation", when there is no public setup info to begin with, only encourages potential slips of knowledge - something scum would love to pick up on.

I didn't call it random, just pointless. And yes, I get the point is to see how people react. But I'd argue, that's not actually effective. It would be interesting to see some analysis on how well anyone's D1 reads actually are...

I do hear you on potential slips of knowledge and had not completely thought of that - but those slips some times come from scum, too, no?

i.e I think the point of either is just to encourage more chatter - and this is true for both town and scum. town trying to weed out scum, scum trying to learn town's roles. I'm not sure why one is actually better than the other. I'm just not of fun of picking someone and voting for them without at least a piece of reasoning.

If you love setup talk, and joth made this game such that setup talk is practically pointless (as is typically the case in BM games, I'd say)... why not just vote for joth?  Let's vote out the mod!  It's a BM game after all - maybe it's possible here?

Also...

I was going to vote MiX here, but I’m going to leave my vote on Scola for right now. I would also consider Datswan or Gkrieg at this point in time.

Didds - Are you just curious, or do you hope to glean some alignment indicative information from this question?

What’s your read on Scola? What’s your read on the Scola wagon?

Do you think EFHW asking her MOD question in thread is alignment indicative? It seemed to ping MiX.

Oh, I just like to give MiX a hard time about Messi (the GOAT) vs Ronaldo. And somehow last game my Messi post was seen as scummy for some reason.

What’s your read on Scola? What’s your read on the Scola wagon?

Do you think EFHW asking her MOD question in thread is alignment indicative? It seemed to ping MiX.

I wanted to know what it meant because it was a one-word response to a long exchange. I think it’s distracting because it looks like a response, but isn’t.

So, yeah, I think it’s indicative of something.

The Scola wagon seemed to be rather RVS to me so I hadn’t considered it much. I don’t like the random voting. I don’t really understand it so I don’t do it. It’s interesting that he is and has been at E-2 for a while now.

EFHW question seemed innocuous enough, but I don’t know how mix’s mind works. He’s really good at finding scum, at least when the sum is me, so there’s that. I don’t know why EFHW would have asked in her qt when it was easy to forget this was a bastard game or what Joth means by that term. So… meh. I don’t think it’s much in regard to either of them.

its a BM with no set up info. no one that is town should be asking public info questions in their QT and not in the public thread.

Just feel like a question that is most natural to ask when you read it, not when the game starts, so it felt weird.

Messi?

Yes.

I didn't call it random, just pointless. And yes, I get the point is to see how people react. But I'd argue, that's not actually effective. It would be interesting to see some analysis on how well anyone's D1 reads actually are...

Last game, you were tied to Didds because of Didds' early wagon and infang buried himself when he called me scum due to an assumption that people will say things like that when pushing people they think are scum. Reacting is a very big part of mafia.

Now, do I think your reaction here is scummy? Kinda, honestly. Enough to keep my vote on you.


I like Galzria this game. I guess he kinda reminds me of when we were scumbuddies? But I like what I'm seeing overall.
