Deep Space 9 Mafia - Game Over!

Example?

You don’t have to write obvious statements just to please everybody. I know what you mean. I’m more pedantic when it’s really not clear what someone is saying though.

It’s not necessarily AI for me. I just talk about it together with everything else I see. I put most of my thoughts down for people to see, as you know, but not all of them are useful (clearly). I also wrote it could just be noise. I don’t put too much stock into meta reads to begin with - but they do give you something.

it has nothing to do with your play style. i just think the things you’re choosing to talk about and the way you’ve been approaching reads is more likely to come from scum

it boils down to the fact that i don’t think most of the things you’re saying come from a town point of view

also other people just seem more town than you

* shrug *

do you have no scum reads apart from catspurr?

Ah, I gotcha—sorry, I was taking “don’t like the way you approach the game” as more of a stylistic comment, but I see how you’re using it now.

Beyond cats? Not sure. Probably a lurker, I think? I can’t really suss out screen, and what I think of him. Everyone else active seems reasonably to fairly town to me. Possssssibly Mantis
but today I’m tending to think that’s more literal mindedness clashing with my tendency to read between lines and make inferences than it is him misrepping intentionally as scum
not really sure which lurker at this point, but hoping a sub for AKFD will help make his slot clearer. Josh seems to be even less helpful and more shitposty than normal, but I don’t how strong of a meta thing that is for him, if at all, so I’m not putting much stock into it. And I just have no idea how to read MS, it’s basically just sheeping as far as I can tell, but I don’t know if he’s lazy scum or lazy town and without some flips to give us voting data I don’t think I can behaviorally read him.

if you want self meta, I put effort into a game when I start getting confident in stuff.

I find it irritating I’m not Scum reading you anymore. In fact, I find some of your actual (succinct) contributions mostly spot on [not the Mantis v. Urist though]. I hate myself.

mantis vs urist could be wrong (note: I’m not currently pushing either) but it’s more that their play around me looked like one of them was explicitly pocketing the other, I just waffle on which is the dumb town and which is the scum. I was hoping muffin man ( @_fferyllt ) would see this and comment on it.

like, to use typical universal tells which are generally bad but whatever, mantis as the first vote is town indicative as scum dont like to start shit. however, urist actually started the push, so mantis doesnt actually have the same effect with his vote and that’s a pretty clean way to vote while buddying urist. then the other hand, urist didnt vote until someone else did (same less blood on hands thing) and has a generally blah progression.

I dont think they can both be scum because frankly that would be trash play especially if you know of me, and idk mantis but urists last xcum game looked too competent for that to be realistic.

Right, that’s why I wasn’t/aren’t willing to put much stock in “more shitposty” as a meta read, cause that’s easily explainable as town that just doesnt have solid footing in the game yet.

Pretty sure Mantis wouldn’t have to buddy me this aggresively if she wanted me in her pocket.

What you are seeing might be due to the fact that Mantis and I live together and have a lot of trust and respect for each others’ scumhunting abilities (at least, I do for hers!) As a result, we might follow each other’s reads a bit more than you would expect of two randos.

Josh’s posts look more town now that he’s actually contributing.
UNVOTE: Josh
Gonna have to do some rereading to figure out who to vote next.
I’m in the same situation as _muffins. Off the top of my head I find Mantis, Josh, _muffins, cats, Srceen, Andres, parsec, ActionDan, skitter as town (in no particular order).
That leaves MS, Nanook, AKFD.
Would be amazing if that was the scum team but I don’t think I’m that good. Or am I???
Anyway yeah gonna have to reread.

I don’t really get the wagon on cats, gonna have to reread to remember why that’s a thing. There’s probably at least one scum on there.

oh you legit live together irl?

Ja

@Parsec besides me, who else are you leaning Scum on since you last posted? If you can’t achieve a majority on me, would you consider moving your vote? And if so, to who?

@ActionDan are you also getting replaced or do you plan on posting at some point? You are starting to remind me of Mylo, who got lynched for being mostly useless (and he was Town in that game). Mantis already pointed at the various questions you are asking that make you look busy but don’t actually lead anywhere. Do you have anything to respond to that?

VOTE: ActionDan

So by now, I would think it would make sense for you to update your read. Do you still think that Cats has been “floating along”? Are you still relying on Nanook’s and Urist’s meta assessments for your vote? It would seem Urist has mostly changed his view, so the only one maintaining his initial assessment and voting for Catspurr is Nanook. Does that change anything for you? Do you have any thoughts of your own with regards to Catspurr that you would like to share?

Have you played with Catspurr before? Him making an accusation that ends with an interrogation mark is surely something you would have seen by now, since I actually find it entirely within Catspurr’s style. So why focus on the form and not the accusation itself?

well that means I need to reread smh

VC 1-24

catspurr: 4 (Nanook, ActionDan, skitter30, Josh)
