MAFIA: Fallen Angels

[fiS]

I was inactive the last couple days because of a funeral and stuff, but early on when the game started, there were a few votes and talk of voting on ixt because he was the low hanging fruit in the game. In the other games, this would have been enough for him to crack and roleclaim and yell at people, but he didn't do that. Is he getting better? Did his team tell him to relax and that they wouldn't just stand by and let him get lynched day 1 so easily? Is ixt shook by Voth and is playing better because Voth isn't trying to lynch him? There's obviously no way to know yet, but he is absolutely playing a lot differently than he basically always does, which is one of the very first things I look for. Just want to see how many others have noticed, and put it on the radar for everyone else moving forward.

Well, I wouldn't be surprised if ixt turns out mafia this game.
And I don't say this because he changed his behavior, I only think so because... how often in a row did he draw a townie role now?
But let's not put too much depth into that, because statistic arguments are just vague and nothing to base an argument on.

Actually you might have given the answer. He might be just consequent, because this time, there was no pressure on him, other than a bunch of us sort of making fun of it and bugging him about it.
No pressure, no roleclaim, that's actually quite consequent, no?

I have no reads. I usually struggle day 1, but this day 1 was sort of apecial because there wasn't a single (obvious) roleclaim, defense, obvious attack, like nothing happening (or did I miss it?).
There has been lots of offtopic talk about gifs and shit.

Makes it hard for me to actually have an opinion about people so far.
Or what are you basing your thoughts on - other than the vote count that we have at hand now?

Gut reads mostly. My list (if I had to pick 4) would probably be something like kthx, zeebu, rodney, and maybe field.
I explained field and rodney above
kthx I've got nothing real going so far, but i think hes wily enough to make that happen
and I guess zeebu cause hes quiet. Could swap out with fis/paul/Jerome so far.

not anything for sure, but if I was a cop, I'd investigate one of them tonight

[fiS]

I know somebody mentioned it earlier, but it's worth repeating because I don't think that it got enough attention. In all of the preceding games, ixt roleclaimed at the slightest sign of pressure (and sometimes even before anything went his way), but he hasn't done anything of that sort so far in this game. Has he learned, or is he following directions from his teammates?

sdrawkcab is confirmed townie, so we're doing pretty well. Also ixt roleclaimed godfather.

[fiS]

Guy just GG'd himself. Only things I'll note was field hopped right over after sdraw voted himself. And zeebu "hammered".

Looking at who avoided lynching a townie, Rodney, ixt, kthx voted zeebu- rodney tied votes up (3 way) but the others were early votes.

no obvious lynch trains here, meaning we've got a somewhat intelligent mafia. If I had to guess, I would say zeebu is town also- these two lynches were townie led on townies (unless kthx, ixt are mafia).

I'm talking myself in circles cause I'm bored at work.

Why didnt you vote for either of the two close to being lynched, fis?

I forgot he was playing. I hope he isn't pulling a scum-zeebu play.

Just because he's lurking doesn't mean he's scum. It's a bit early to jump to conclusions, don't you think?

I noticed zeebu has been lurking, which he tends to do when he's scum. He may very well be scum.

Hi Field.

[Halp]

me 3.

Vote for sdraw and I'll jump over too. Everyone sleeping on this guy

I was coerced. Willby masterminded that wagon like he's got some kind of mid-level project management position on the oregon trail and looking for a promotion to regional director or some shit. Cholera, amiright?

[kthx]

Maybe we can ask Bernie Sanders to give him a refund so he can buy a nice capitalist galaxy 10

[kthx]

I would have much preferred to see Jerome get lynched instead of backwards (obviously hindsight being 20/20). The self vote was really weird and super scummy tbh, but at least Backwards was actively contributing.

Hey we can't say Jerome doesn't put his money where his mouth is. His third world rigged phone setup probably blew out his vacuum tubes. That self imposed socialism game is strong.

[kthx]

Now that backwards is gone we can finally move forward. Based on the voting patterns I would say there are scum in this game though. But if we want to kill scum we need to start voting scum.

Hey where's Jerome been this whole time?
