Support NeoGAF

[CCS]

Echoing my earlier prod and the current vote on him, would love to hear more from Magnum...

Also, CCS, old buddy, penny for your thoughts?

Sorry mate, only just got back and fed after rugby

I'm not sure. I can't remember who said it earlier, but I kind of support lynching either you or Ty, because there's been a lot of discussion around the two of you, and whichever way you flip the information will be very interesting.

That and I still don't have any good scum reads.

 

[Natiko]

Well, not sure how those got quoted again instead of the post I hit quote on but..okay!

 

[Natiko]

And then it goes to a new page. RIP.

Why do you want to lynch ty or me? Because of what others and Natiko have said? Are you just bandwagoning?

Also, ooh rugby, which match did you see??

I don't particularly think you guys are scum, but I don't have anyone else that I think is scum either. In the absence of a better lead so far, there's a certain sense to lynching the people who are most discussed so that when they flip we find out the most.

I was refereeing, it was very good fun

Nice, used to play? I played hooker at uni.

Well, if I have to be lynched by anyone, you're the one I'd want to do it buddy.

Yeah, I used to play scrum half! Started refereeing last summer.

You know, screw it, I can't do this man. I'm going with my other choice:

VOTE: Ty4on

Nah, that's the outhalf. Never gets tackled and gets to much credit for just passing and kicking penalties. Their perfectly combed hair stays straight as a result...

[MagnumBoy20xx]

After rereading the thread multiple times, the only player that really stood out to me was AbsolutBro.

He has been pretty active since his first post, and yet hasn't voted at all. While I do understand how he feels about day 1, I feel that at least putting down a gut vote is necessary for discussion on day 1.

As such I will do just that.

I'm not quite sure what to make of Acohrs. I feel like he is going for the too scummy to be scummy defense.

Let's not be too mean to them, it's not easy to function properly when half your brain is reserved for thinking about your hairstyle.

What does that mean for us unenlightened? Is that usual absolut townie or usual absolut scummie?

Use your context clues. Am I voting for him? Have I mentioned suspicion towards him? What do you think?

 

[acohrs]

No, no suspicion after another player raised their suspicion. You just flippantly dismissed their opinion and when asked by me to expand on what you meant, you turned very defensive. That's a very interesting response and coupled with how aggressive you've been in responses to other players, I think you're trying to get other players to leave you alone. At any rate you don't seem to want to help town, so...

Vote: Sorian

 

[Sophia]

I find it amusing that acohrs ignored the actual comment regarding himself, and instead focused on Sorian's comment on Absolut.

I think I've only played with Absolut once or twice? Don't really have enough information to judge his playstyle.

Also dunno about Kawl anymore, seeing as he's not really around to chat. Meh.

Umm I have to ask because to me this makes no sense otherwise. Are you sure you did not mix up names somehow? Because to me Absolut is the very opposite of "pretty active".

"Pretty active" is relative. To me it means that you post enough to not need to be proded after your first post.

 

[Kyanrute]

Please explain to me how the usual Absolut posts and votes on day one.

Vote: Sorian

Their opinion was bad, I said as such. I'll grasp straws like a champ but when someone votes based on something that is completely in character for the person they either don't know better or are purposely being obtuse. Magnum hasn't played in awhile and is also a very mafia 101 player from what I remember so his vote falls more in the first category than the second.

The aggressive point is true though the reasoning for being aggressive is wrong. Your jump to the next point about how I don't seem to want to help town makes no sense though and is just fluff crap you threw in to justify that weak vote. Sophia has the right of it, you're trying to detract from suspicion on you by ignoring that section of my reads and then hoping I flip on the defensive if you get some steam behind that vote.

 

[Sophia]

Yay caffeine! Game is a lot livelier than usual, with a whole lot of early shade being thrown early on.
Like this


This_is_Gafia.gif

I realize you're not actually pushing Bronx in your post, but I just wanted to take a moment to appreciate the insanity of "Bronx's meta". Like, we're so far into the gafia rabbit hole that people have individual metas now.
-----------
FWIW Bronx, it seems like regular D1 banter to me. Granted we've only played a few games I think.
-----------





Less than 12 hours after game start, a Friday night game start mind, and you're post shaming people in a game with some of the highest volume posters in all of gafia. Dude

Does make nice vote camo though.


;_; I thought we were cool CzarTim.

Spoiler

I'm pretty sure you're actually being facetious.

Uh, aren't they talking about Sophia, not Sorian? Or is your post referring to the interaction between the two? Slightly confused, sorry.

Because this is gafia where players get called out for posting too much, not posting enough, voting, not voting, unvoting and not having a vote at all times.


I swear every game I'm in these are the same comments I get. D1 is my weak spot. I don't like going off D1 gut feelings, even though eventually I will get a vote down. It's also the weekend, and I have farm stuff to do that I cannot do when I'm working during the week.

This is pretty much the extent of AbsolutBro's activity for Day 1. Four posts total, and only two of them have substance.

I have no idea how Magnum came to the conclusion that Absolut is anywhere near "active"

"Pretty active" is relative. To me it means that you post enough to not need to be proded after your first post.

And this is just full of shit backtracking to justify your original stupid comment.

 

[Sorian]

Please explain to me how the usual Absolut posts and votes on day one.

Usually seems like he is drowning and is just behind in general whenever he does show. He tends to be busier so is one of those check in once or twice a day kind of people and since day 1 is usually throwing shit at the wall, he doesn't have a ton to comment on. He is great later because he does dedicate the time during his check ins to make big thoughtful posts in response to others but without anything to respond to, he comes off more surface level. Since he does rely on others bring up points that he can react to he focuses on prod votes day 1.

 

[Sophia]

And while my read on AB is neutral at the moment, "D1 is my weak spot." is a flimsy excuse. Even I have difficulty deciding who to vote for, but I still try to provide my opinions, engage people, and generally be active so that when I do flip, the rest of the players can read my actions in a different light.

Thanks. What did you think of Magnum's comment about Absolut being active when you read his post?

 

[Sorian]

No idea what Magnum is on about with saying he is active, he obviously isn't but while that could be scum saying bullshit, it could also just be him assuming there was more than there really was without looking.

Why are you voting for him exactly, because he hasn't voted? Doesn't seem like you scum read him. He stated why he doesn't vote early, doubt your vote will suddenly make him reconsider his stance.

AB's not as active as I want, but I understand him when it comes to that. D1 is the day when someone usually don't much to go off on and is just firing blind. As I'm sure everyone here can tell, I've never been the biggest fan of that part of the games.

Yeah I mean. We're all kind of firing blind on Day 1, and I understand he has real life stuff (which is why I only used the game portion of that argument), but there's still a lot you can do to set yourself up for the later game portions. It's only a weak spot if one lets it be a weak spot.

 

[MagnumBoy20xx]

Honestly, the only reason I am voting for AB is because he hasn't voted yet. I know that won't change his mind, but I can't really find anyone else to vote for right now.

As for the whole "active" thing, my perception of active is different from everyone else, since I am not really a very active player. A lot of this can probably be rust since I haven't played in awhile. I'm sorry if that comes across as wrong to you guys, and I understand if you think it seems scummy.

Mmmmmmmhmmmmmm. Yep. Totally.

Anyways, onto some reads while I'm 10,000 ft in the sky:

acohrs: Maybe my memory's fucking with me but I don't remember you doing the whole "I'm just a helpless skrub, please take pity on me, fellow townies" schtick during Pop Mafia. Hell, you were probably one of the most cunning scum during that game.

But then that makes me wonder, if he was scum, surely he wouldn't be acting as sloppy as he is right now? Just acting weird in general, gonna have to keep an eye on him.

Sorian: Not impressed with you at all. You started the game by trying to force a scum read out of an obvious shitpost I made. You followed that up by going after almost ANYONE that dare question you, acting defensive as hell along the way. At best, you give vague as hell answers for why you vote the way you do (Ty's list feels fake? How can you tell something like that?). At worst, you respond with complete condencension to someone like acohrs trying to ask you simple questions.

I'll post more reads as I go back a few pages to catch up.

Why AB out of all the people who have not voted yet?

 

[MagnumBoy20xx]

Why AB out of all the people who have not voted yet?

Because he was the only one I noticed? Who else hasn't voted?

 

[franconp]

Because he was the only one I noticed? Who else hasn't voted?

I have been much more active than absolut and haven't voted yet. So I'm not buying your vote.

Day 1 Ends in:

 

[Kyanrute]

You can't find anyone else to vote for because you only saw Absolut not voting. I find your reasoning problematic.

 

[franconp]

Given that - any particular thoughts currently? I'd like to hear some more opinions from you even if they're brief.

Not home now. I should be home in half an hour to give better reads but not feeling good about Acohrs, Stan seems different from last time, Sorian is more over the place that usual and Magnum vote is very suspicious. Will expand later when not on mobile.

 

[acohrs]

The aggressive point is true though the reasoning for being aggressive is wrong.

Seriously? To answer the question, it's completely within my wheelhouse, just like this could easily be my town game as well. The point was being so trusting over something that I can fake was an error.

You say the reason for aggression is wrong, based on what, your own word? You also say don't be so trusting, so why trust you now? I have decided not to

 

[Sophia]

In the middle of Guild Wars 2, but right now I feel scummy gut vibes from Sorian, acohrs, and Ty. I want to read over all of acohr's posts tho.

Unvoting Kawl for the moment.

Unvote

 

[*Splinter]

VOTE: Cabot

Sorry to leave this so long, been busy.

Kawl made a very obvious joke vote on cabot, and somehow it generated a page of discussion.

I vote for Cabot every game (whether he's playing or not) but this one seemed to strike a nerve.

Besides that, I'd usually have found some reason to town read Cabot by now, but it's not happening so far.

 

[MagnumBoy20xx]

I have been much more active than absolut and haven't voted yet. So I'm not buying your vote.

You can believe what you want to believe, I don't blame you.

You can't find anyone else to vote for because you only saw Absolut not voting. I find your reasoning problematic.

I ment that I couldn't find anyone else to vote for, so when I saw AB hadn't voted I decided to vote for him. I probably should have looked harder, but too late now.

 

[*Splinter]

Ty's play has felt very "by the numbers" to me. Particularly the group of posts following this one:

What is your experience with mafia?

If this is your first game as town, what is different from playing as scum?

I feel like most of the questions he answered in this chain don't really tell him much of use.

 

[*Splinter]

VOTE: Ty4on

Bronx quieting down once he lost my attention is noted and my Kawl vote was mostly bluster though I am serious that what he tried to do in his entrance bothered me. This is my next stop though, this attempt at playing feels too fake to me. For an extra read, I think I like Stanley so far? Not really sure yet but gut says he's normal.

This post made me townread Sorian a bit, he picked up on Ty's posts in the same way I did.

I think the random Stan read is interesting. I've liked Stan's posts so far (particularly how easily he dismissed my joke vote on cabot) but I don't know if I agree that he's been "normal". Sorian can elaborate on what you meant by that?

 

[*Splinter]

Alright, I think that exchange with Ty made me feel better about him.

unvote

I really don't like this post. Sorian started questioning Ty, then Tim takes the lead on that questioning, continues it a little, then abruptly drops it with a "he's fine". I read this as overconfident scum.

 

[*Splinter]

I'm currently gut reading splinter as town

I think I know the answer, but why?
