Overwatch Mafia |OT| Keep Your Vote On The Payload

AC, for one. I'll have to check the others but I don't remember anything out of the ordinary. I didn't follow NV too closely, but he probably got killed to quick to really get into it.

He was quite passive and scum there from what I remember.
 
I'll be keeping my vote on AbsolutBro for now. Something bothers me.
Absolut, would you be more confident in Xamtheking lynch, or in TheGoddamn lynch?
To clarify, I could explain what this something is, but I'm waiting for Absolut to post more first.

Sorry, I may be working from home but I do still have to work. Then I have farm stuff to do.


FWIW, between those two I guess I find TheGoddamn more suspicious than Xam. Xam is doing his usual all over the place posting, while TheGoddamn has three posts: two of which are bringing up and then defending a mass role claim on day 1. I actually read either as scum though. Xam is being Xam while TheGoddamn's suggested gambit would be extremely ballsy for a scum suggestion.


I said before I find it likely that while scum did not suggest either the mass role claim or the peek strategy, I find it likely at they are supporting the idea of one or the other. IMO, it is more likely they would support the "peek" strategy as that is the safer gambit. Mass role claim could easily go wrong, while the "peek" is far softer. There's no hard "this proves that so and so was lying" because it's all "this is what I think". So looking over who pushed, tinkered or defended the peek is probably where I will go.

After reading a bit more, I think I'll take Xam off the list for now. He really hasn't been all that different now that I read back over our other games together. I'll keep an eye on him, but I don't think I need to worry about him now.

Gonna swap him with EzekelRAGE for now. Even though I consider a bit of a "late bloomer," he has really only chimed in during the peeking discussion and nothing more, which seems out of sorts for me. Something is up.

So my list is now:
Ty4on
Barrylocke
Verelios
Burbeting
EzekelRAGE

Of those, I'd like to see Ty4on go first. I'm gonna read over Burb's posts again now, but the other 3 I'm pretty sure of.

Also while I am still more suspicious of Burbeting for his suspicion of Kyanrute earlier, Kyan is still a null read for me. It's fully possible that he is the unluckiest motherfucker in all of GAFia.

Didn't he say he was trolling, though, with his Ordinary Town claim?

No cops makes the peeking strategy harmless and sends scum on a wild goose chase. Hardly seems like a reason not to do it.

It's a weird thing to vote for anyway. You don't like melon's idea, fine, but why does suggesting it make you think she's scum?

Peeking isn't strictly harmless if there's no cops. If there's no cop, then scum have easy cover to float a fake cop role claim in the mid to late game.

Where did Mazre go? I'm getting s weird vibe from him from his posts, and the fact that he straight up vanished isn't helping.

I went to bed, then I woke up 8 hours later and went to work for 9 hours, mystery solved.

Mazre, what do you think of Ty4on?

Very slight town lean at the moment. Looking over his posts again while he has been heavily involved in the peek discussion the bulk of his contribution on that front has been in the way of explanation, in contrast to direct advocacy. Otherwise he's generally been active and trying to at least make some conversation.

Day ones are always slow for me. Nothing concrete to go on. No information to go on to look deeper at posts.

What is it about Ty that is putting you off, Ouro? Both you and Sophia have mentioned vaguely it but I'm not sure I see it.
I find him...very agreeable. I don't feel like he's really going against the grain, just steering conversation towards relatively benign and "safe" topics. Town Ty, from what I've seen (except for Wedding Mafia ;P) questions a lot of things.

Right now I'm thinking my vote will be between Barry, TheGoddamn, Nin and Ezekel as none of them made any relevant point or share their opinion of the game or of another player so far.

I don't know if I will be able to log in around the end of the phase (I will be at work so maybe yes, most likely no) so I will cast my vote before leaving for work. I hope any of the 4 makes an interesting post before then.

Hmm. I think I need to go back and reread Ty more. My current impression is that he hasn't stood out too much to me but I guess that's to your point.

I am Back from a lovely Day and read through everythubg that has been said. I will be sticking around through the end of the day as well. But please give me some hours to get up to date. :))

no TG yet? frustrating.

My lynch list today comprises of three groups:

off-reads, hinting towards scum (in order of most to least):

2) Xamtheking [m] (Can't read Xam, his play is similar whichever alignment, but he's made some odd comments and things have slipped by him)
16) Kyanrute [m] (I don't see anything different to his play here which is alarming. Even joking being ordinary town, he did this in Bar. I do enjoy my Kyan shitposts, but we need more if he wants to be kept around)
14) TheGoddamn [m] (Don't agree on the mass claim, and has been absent most of the day. TG doesn't post a whole lot, but it is quieter than usual, and not much analysis going on which he usually does)

The next batch are very light scum leans, but there's something off about them which makes them potential candidates:
6) AbsolutBro [m] (I like some of ABs posts, but he's doing them under pressure which means he'd have to step it up a bit in order to get by, there's potential for scum there)
19) Verelios [m] (There isn't a whole lot here except snark and the occasional opinion when attention is directed his way)
21) Ynnek7 [m] (I'm not getting any sort of vibe from Ynnek which is annoying, though it feels more than a null from looking back at his posts)

This group is more 'lynch inactive/waste' pile:

17) nin1000 [m] (nin has been mostly absent aside from game start, expecting him to pick up before the end but hes top of the list because I struggle to read him)
9) EzekelRAGE [m] (I know Eze kind of starts slower and gets into it, he's started at molasses pace here)
10) Bronx-Man [m] (I've got nothing of real worth here except finding Mazre suspicious which is a relatively easy target. I'm not ready to lynch Mazre just yet)
22) Barrylocke [m] (Barry's been posting sporadically with some thoughts but so far he's not bringing anything particularly memorable to the table. I'd like to see him last a little longer because he tends to be a useful alternative voice in the crowd, but he's not exactly earned that yet)

I'm gonna drill down on this list through the day.

It's taking every last bit of my power to resist voting for Splinter for being such an ASSHOLE in Pokemon. But I won't. Because unlike SOME PEOPLE, I am going to be the BIGGER MAN.

FUCK
YOU
GUYS

That's why splinter is always on my list. He is one if those players that can play either role very very good. Will have to read how he played up to this point though.

Cabot ffs. I even said that everyone can null read me since I did not really get into any discussion since it was the start of the day and I was not around yesterday. So please Cabot use that nut brain. :*

It appears you've dropped all your toys out of the pram, let me pick them up for you.



You're essentially 8th on the list what the fuck at this reaction, son.

Hey, hey, it's not my fault you're misinterpreting opinions on the game for snark (very odd I first saw Sophia throw this out and it becomes Cabot's justification). You still mad I linked you and Splinter?

You've been better overnight I admit.

Linking me to splinter is like linking cereal to milk. Doesn't take a whole lot to get to that connection.

Like do you remember that time I wrote a 3000 word essay for my self-read? Do you remember that thing of beauty? That work or art? That magnum opus?

Man, that was a thing

A shit thing, yes. Since you lied and were trying to act like a 4th grader even though we all know that you are in the kindergarden.

Nin.

How are you feeling about this game so far?

I am at post #154 not much to go about.

Kyan claimed ordinary town which I am hesitant to believe since this is a role.madness game and I tend to think that everyone has some kind of role.

As for everything else, splinter is being unusually shit talky. He tends to make a lot of posts yes, but this time it seems that he is in a position where he thinks that he is safe. I don't know what to make out of it. I still have a lot to read to this may change.

And everyone else is trying to get to know each other and call out those who they never played with.

Will be adding more thoughts as I read through the rest.

Bare with me.
 
Well right, but surely you have an opinion on something. You can be way off on D1, but you should still have something you can discuss.

Opinions/Observations: Think peeking is worth a shot if done town only, every other day at the moment. Going back reading over the peeking discussion, Haly makes sense when he breaks down the reason a cop for scum trade could be worth it. Noticed you didn't like the peeking discussion as a whole at all it seems. You made at least two posts about it being boring or we are making it too complicated.

Player Observations:
Ouro - Sorta controls discussion it seems, pokes/prodes players into action.
TG - absent since suggesting mass claiming

Splinter - Posting has been weird, usually more of the analytical posters. Usually has decent sized posts with nuggets of knowledge with reads etc. not now.

Kyan/Xam are on the same page for me of weird posters. I would probably leave how to read those players with ppl who have more experience dealing with them.

Haly - Probably the person I'm leaning to as mostly town.

Bur/Vere/Ty/Fran/Cab/Sophia/Drag/Melon/BL - Seems to be normal posting.

AB seems to most post in response to someone asking him a quesiton or osmething. At least those have been his posts that stuck out to me but I could be wrong. It could be argued I am guilty of the same thing.

As far as the chopping block, probably Me/AB/Nin/TG Due to spotty activity tbh.
