Official Usmb Mafia Game #5: A Game Of Fire And Ice (day 6)

[Avatar4321]

You're right. my math is off. I was thinking 8 votes for some reason instead of 9.

 

[Avatar4321]

The deadline is the 30th, correct? I can go with a Moonglow lynch, but I don't know that I feel he is particularly scummy at the moment.

Question is will it change that much in the next 2 days?

 

[Shaitra]

@Moonglow - any particular reason you picked those 5 people?

I don't know. But we do have fresh eyes looking at the game. She might come up with something the rest of us didn't see.

......

Now I am going to use your own words against you:
Bad math is scummy!

Ya - take some of your own medicine

You. You made that statement against me last game if you don't remember because I was off by 3% on the likely hood that a neighborhood was scum free

The only scum read I got was his quoting a Town role pm. When Wake clarified that Scum had gotten both Town/Scum pms, it made sense that using it was going to cause confusion. Town should not have to deal with confusion, there is enough of it in the game already without silly pranks.

That's kind of what he does. Is getting rid of him going to lead to less confusion and chaos? Probably not.

At this point, it's a sound choice for us all.

 

[Wolfsister77]

Darn it people. Can we please stop giving info. to scum? I volunteered to be one of the 5 specifically so that scum would know nothing about the other 4.

I don't know who you are talking to or about. It would help if you were more specific.

 

[Wolfsister77]

Roleblock: TN5421

The 5 people picking a roleblock target for tonight. I volunteered so that they'd vote for me and scum wouldn't know anything about whether the other 4 are safe or not.

 

[Wolfsister77]

Rollblock: TN

Roleblock:TN

Roleblock: TN5421

This is 3. Now, we should just move on. Discussing who is going to perform actions at night or not or who would be safe to block or not is only helpful to scum.

 

[sameech]

I hadn't thought about it that way. You forget that this is only my 5th game, and the first one with all these abilities that do and undo what others do with their abilities. You have your reasons to believe that tn may be Mafia, but what I've seen in my neighborhood tells me that Rosie/Grandma are one of the teams. In all 5 games I have always been told that you don't disclose your PR, and since we don't have any guarantee that everyone in our neighborhood is Town just because they say they are town, why would anyone be that foolish as to disclose their PR. And Rosie and Grandma are not newbies, they know better. I believe they were hoping to gain trust from Me and Aye and for us to reveal all. Good strategy, but unfortunately, it didn't work the way they planned. And, if I'm wrong, go ahead an lynch me next, I'll probably be dead already, anyway.

`
I have no particular inclination to mislynch town this game, though, but for the math in the set up, I certainly could do some PL'ing left and right if we had that luxury. I really don't know what to make of the hearsay coming out of your neighborhood. That is such a caustic mix of personalities and weird meta, that I am inclined to not being relying on any information that I am told out of it when it comes to any critical decisions like hammering. There is no right or wrong answer about PR's despite what people say. It has a lot to do with how you can do that within the context of your meta and get away with it as you play the same people from game to game. Everybody has a style and if it goes against that on something so polarizing as powers, it often reads scum. What I do know is that people shouldn't be putting people's crumbs on blast on Day 1 if they are town IMO. For now, it appears to me as if insecurity about your play and that part of our ego that makes us want to defend ourselves in the heat of the moment in the sorority house atmosphere that is an odd dynamic here from game to game explain most of your play thus far.

looks like we are role blocking TN without him or Scarlet saying a word.

Unfortunate that we got nothing out of them on this. Bad timing I guess. When SR declares something, I cannot help but recall her declaring that I must die in G3 and then being all over me on that last morning for having been right about her being wrong on the mislynch. I was hoping we could get some insight into her declarations this game. I really cannot give them any weight when I have been the object of them being made incorrectly.

 

[Avatar4321]

I was hoping for more interaction from the votes too.
