LISTEN UP, FOOLS.
I have had an epiphany on the true nature of Mafia, but before we go on with this bold and dynamic new strategy I would like to establish that I am LOCK FUCKING CLEAR. It would never be in my best intrests to reveal this gamebreaking strategy if I was a wolf, as it would be impossible for me to win due to the oppresive and overpowered nature of this village strategy.
Essentially, forget about your wincon. That dosen’t fucking matter. What really matters is how many Scummies you win. Win:Loss ratios are worthless unless you have a cool title and a slight reputation as well, so you’d better listen closely to everything I say and assume that every read I make is correct.
This strategy relies entirely on the fundamental avarice inherent in the nature of man. @Wolves I bet you guys want awards too, huh? Well, I can GAURENTEE you awards by the following simple instructions:
Douse me N1
Douse someone else N2
DO A FUNNY AND DOUSE ME AGAIN N3 HAHAHA (important, this might get you a funniest moment award!)
Lose because you’ve all been lynched by my god-tier Marson skills. I’d reccomend bussing so this loss dosen’t feel too painful.
Get an award for strategically throwing an unwinnable game for their own business, probably Most Unique Play or something? Idk your feelings don’t really matter because this game was lost at rand
In return for the wolves’ immediate concession, us GOAT villagers are GAURENTEED a Best Team Play and Best Individual Play award, as this god-tier strategy gaurentees us the win, while if you guys go along with my FLAWLESS strategy you have clearly overcome your fundamental avarice and pride, which not only means that you’re getting an award but also that you’re probably a step closer to Nirvana or some shit.
Trying to defy the Awardscumming strategy is blatant fucking gamethrowing, and when those of you who think that this strategy has some kind of flaw with it get carried the shit out of by me, I’ll arrange for you to be excluded from the team award.
I’ll accept your champs votes in advance.
This post is so… strange. I don’t like it and I can’t say why.
I really don’t like Ici right now.
Icibalus:
Wow, guys.
You’re really trying pretty hard. Nothing has truly pinged me as of right now.
I will probably have to re-read though. Having no substantial read other than Hja town and Geyde maybe town at this stage of the match feels underwhelming, so oof.
vul w
discuss
An immediate push on vul here. Why?
Icibalus:
look vul the opening paragraph has a pretty awful apologetic tone, which is more likely to come from a wolf because instead of reading that post and thinking “okay, I need to get that content I don’t have” you just thought “eh whatever I’ll just apologise”
it’s not damning but it’s pretty wolfy
Scumreads Vul for a bad reason, without reading the thread.
Scumreading because of a lack of ability?
20 posts in and they cast a vote on vulgard based on garbage reasoning.
(From Vul)
Note to self: My TMI is apparently so blatant, Ici cannot even provide an example of it.
Icibalus:
I literally fucking have. You narrating yourself about your intentions with your wagon is weird and indicates that you’re distanced from a villagery perspective; instead of just going with the flow and making reads and instead of making a clear plan for yourself, you’re blithely saying “I’ll just go build my wagon okay”, which indicates that you don’t really have any motivation to advance your reads, thereby indicating that you’re a wolf who already knows everybody’s allignment.
Building a wagon advances the thread in some way or another.
Icibalus:
I hope that explains it? Look, in simpler terms, action weird, action weird = bad, bad = wolfy.
Weird actions =/= wolf. Else I would always flip scum.
Because wolf teams can’t wallpost good.
Vul is wolf because they don’t advance the thread?
(H_Hja)
doesnt maxi being w clear him cuz u know he is pushing him
Icibalus:
fuck
i’m an idiot
Ici hasn’t been pushing on Maxi?
Icibalus:
okay so i’ve already been confirmed an idiot
this is wonderful
I think I trust my vul read more than my maxi one, and it’s entirely possible I’m reading waaaaaaay too much into maxi anyway.
can we get an F in the chat for my reads
You haven’t read Maxi though.
You. Haven’t. Read. Maxi.
(Maximus)
even if Max disagrees, I don’t actually want to mislynch him again (though last time I did it I was scum but w/e).
tmi?
calling me a mislynch again?
thoughts on this post?
TMI is when you say things based from things you shouldn’t know.
Icibalus:
What I’ve read of Maxwell is much, much better than Marshal so far, in that he’s actually doing shit. I think actually doing shit from a slot that hasn’t done shit is actually enough to put him out of the lynch pool for today, like Vulgard?
I think things are all stacking up towards Maxi w tbh.
/vote Maxi
No reads on maxi’s posts. In-credible.
Icibalus:
geyde has inherited marl’s position, and we’re falling back on old habits i suppose
i do agree that giving one player this much thread control is a very risky thing to do tho
hoping more ppl post more after lunch for me
Like, I can’t be the only one who notices that he starts using the “thread control” buzzword in a game where the guy with the most posts loves tempo reads and talks about the thread as a whole has the most posts.
It feels like Maxi was just trying to use the “coolest” term to talk about Geyde to talk about how he dosen’t like how much influence he as and to shadethrow him away from that position.
Adding to that it’s the most basic Level 1 sentiment ever created, and put all of that together (Maxi using a level 3 term to describe a level 1 sentiment is wolfy btw) I think we can safely say that Maxi is… a wolf!
A read, finally.
He says that using “Higher level” terms is bad in lower level sentiments.
Icibalus:
I’m going to try and do a Geyde and do a thread tempo read: The way the thread moves around Alice indicates she’s probably a villager. I get the sense looking at her and how the thread talks about her that the wolves have decided not to push her and are just putting her on a shelf for later, if that makes sense.
Seriously, does it? help i feel like this read’s too simplistic
The thread warping around anyone is a bad sign. This read makes sense IMO.
It’s not about her meta, it’s about her teammates making her meta?
You can’t describe your thoughts… yet you know they’re villager. This seems like pocketing.
(Vulgard)
You have deflected every single accusation I made against you the same way.
“You’re flawed, therefore you’re irrelevant”
You voted Vul while still Readcrafting them.
“Jake is a policy lynch”
???
Ici doesn’t use logic, instead they use assertion. This is a wolf.
