Game Favorites '22 - GROUP 2

[Didi]

It is how it would go typically, isn't it? Players will folllow other active players they town read. I do not think we can formalize the process strictly with so many players.

hello Lord scuMelkor who is literally always scum explain how you are somehow good this time?

 

[Ekkologix]

Are you familiar with the concept of Hempel's Raven? That's what this is.

no
googled but confused
got an example?

 

[Ratchet]

@TheAncientCenturion you're rating posts in the current page, why are you not posting

Because he's playing in Game 1.

 

[Didi]

I tried to joke-lynch a player in game 1 but my post got deleted
NF too serious nowadays for just a 1-off meme post

 

[Ratchet]

no
googled but confused
got an example?

"The object I saw was black"
"Ravens are black"
"Therefore, the object I saw was a raven"

What I'm saying is, the behaviour you've established as a tell isn't actually indicative of me being town, but you've noticed it from me in town games and not in scum games, so your argument is that it indicates I'm town. This is in error. I am Town here, but it's not on the basis you argue for it.

 

[Ekkologix]

Disagree all you want @Natalija and @TheAncientCenturion , but I have an iron clad meta of never lying under promise in a mafia game. I never have and I never will. It’s my trump card.

u know if u flip scum prof u have fooked up and consumed all ur ATE allowed limit for the forseeable future

i trust u wont do this to ur fellow jobber

 

[Natalija]

@TheAncientCenturion you're rating posts in the current page, why are you not posting

He’s just my spirit animal

So… My Tamagotchi.

 

[Juan]

Because he's playing in Game 1.

...oh

well what the fuck is he doing here

voyeurism is gross

 

[Didi]

is bernkastel a touhou thing or a umineko thing
for some reason I strongly feel it's one of those two

 

[Ratchet]

Umineko, yes.

 

[Lord Melkor]

hello Lord scuMelkor who is literally always scum explain how you are somehow good this time?

I was scum in previous favorites (and won), but town in the one with the moon and that madness that was Iwan's.

 

[DrProfessor83]

I would never dream of it.

 

[Ekkologix]

>another posting gimmick weeb imagespamming in every post
oh god
is this really what NF mafia has become

at least Laix had personality and mixed it up

this is mafia 2022
the future is here old man

 

[Didi]

Umineko, yes.

is that fun?
only visual novel-esque series I have played are Ace Attorney (enormous fan) and Zero Escape (really like 999, rest of the series has huge upsides and massive downsides)

Might as well ask now since what the hell
Does it have gameplay elements? or is it really mostly a novel

 

[Ekkologix]

I would never dream of it.

welcome to the core

u have put ur honor on the line. i cannot ignore that

altho i have no honor

I am on the 7th out of 8 VN's, I've really enjoyed it. I happen to love detective novels though, so it has familiar appeal to me. Agree on ZE by the way, I haven't even gotten myself to start the third one. It's just a novel, there's no branching paths or choices either. The interaction I suppose is trying to figure out the riddles and solutions before you get told them.

 

[Ekkologix]

on my honor which i do not have, i am going to be full truth meta this game..not a single lie from now to the end... or maybe until we merge atleast

 

[Ekkologix]

how about u ratchy
did u hear about this:
if it aint broke dont fix it kek

 

[Lord Melkor]

oh god after so long of not playing mafia AND so long of mostly using anonymous forums it's hard to actually remember that I have to read people's names/avatars to remember who made what posts lmao


anyway

what's up bitches


my first impression is that Rej is annoying as fuck with meaningless spam

But what is your read on him other than he is annoying? I had town impressions from Rej and Juan so far.

 

[Ratchet]

on my honor which i do not have, i am going to be full truth meta this game..not a single lie from now to the end... or maybe until we merge atleast

Repeat the following in Red - "I am only aware of my own alignment."

Touche.

ZTD is really fun if like me you embrace beforehand that it's gonna be a huge meme
I had loads of fun laughing at the game and its incredibly silly happenings, but I can imagine being massively disappointed if you expected a satisfying payoff to the zero escape series

However I knew what I was in for so I enjoyed myself

 

[Lord Melkor]

Leaning town on Hero as well.

 

[Natalija]

But what is your read on him other than he is annoying? I had town impressions from Rej and Juan so far.

Leaning town on Hero as well.

Hold your horses there, cowboy. Why do you read them as townie?

 

[Lord Melkor]

Light town read on Ratshit so far, but he's also been known to powerwolf so I maybe I shouldn't vibe with him yet. But my gut so far says good.

Sounds like you want to cover your base here?

I am not liking you so far.

Vote Lynch Didi

 

[Ekkologix]

Repeat the following in Red - "I am only aware of my own alignment."

*insert some centre aligned maid toomfoolery*


"I am only aware of my own alignment."

Juan town lean
Rej - slight scum lean because of spam with die rolls without actual commitance

 

[Didi]

I am not liking you so far.

Vote Lynch Didi

no just my honest feelings
the way ratchet posts is like a town player

but I've seen this rat fucking shit do that shit as a wolf before so I am wary

 

[Ekkologix]

@Ratchet so you let him call u ratshit and u dont bully him but u gave me a lesson for a small town tell

hmm

 

[Lord Melkor]

Hold your horses there, cowboy. Why do you read them as townie?

Confident, relaxed approach and being open about their thoughts.

 

[Didi]

>noooooooooooooo you can never be doubtful in your posts you HAVE to have 100% leans on every player no doubts
go buy some copium, I will not comply by your standards

 

[Ratchet]

*insert some centre aligned maid toomfoolery*


"I am only aware of my own alignment."

​

"<Good!> Now repeat the following in Red -
'My alignment is the same as of the majority of the game.' "​

 

[Juan]

oh god he's watching

EVERYONE STAY CALM

 

[Lord Melkor]

So each game has it's own team of mafia that we have to face against? I think we then should consider that both mafias can win together under circumstances, same as both thread's townies will win together? Just wanna be sure to understand this game.

As I understand the rules they cannot win with each other and will fight against each other and town when the threads merge.

 

[Didi]

@Ratchet so you let him call u ratshit and u dont bully him but u gave me a lesson for a small town tell

hmm

I've called this man ratshit for more years than I can remember, he knows it's not gonna stop now lol

 

[Ratchet]

@Ratchet so you let him call u ratshit and u dont bully him but u gave me a lesson for a small town tell

hmm

Well your town tell has game-specific implications. My name being misspelt means nothing. I actually think you're town, fwiw, and my correction was mostly to give me an opportunity to flext Hempel's Raven. I am very glad you asked me to explain it.

 

[Natalija]

Confident, relaxed approach and being open about their thoughts.

I don’t see a reason why any of them wouldn’t be able to be all that as scum as well, but sure

 

[Ekkologix]

"<Good!> Now repeat the following in Red -
'My alignment is the same as of the majority of the game.' "​

"My alignment is the same as of the majority of the game."

"Usopp > Your favorite Character"

that hempel raven has another name right? cuz ive heard an example of it before like if something happened with something else, ot doesnt always mean the reverse is true. its not the first time ive come accross it. just the name of it

 

[Lord Melkor]

I will be going to sleep soon, so goodnight.

 

[Baroxio]

Hey guys, did I miss anything?

 

[Fang]

fang skoom didi town

I hate the skaven though

 

[Didi]

Hey guys, did I miss anything?

no
maybe
I don't know
CAN YOU REPEAT THE QUESTION

 

[jinri]

Hello!

Your Player of the Year (@Lord Tentei ) and the Town Leader has returned.

Why is no one on my spite list in my group?

I am not sure actually. You might be thinking of "correlation does not imply causation".

YOU'RE NOT THE BOSS OF ME NOW!

I will now make a umineko shitpost with my limited knowledge of it

WITCH DAY ABILITIES ARE REAL SOMETHING SOMETHING TINY BOMBS​

 

[Juan]

it's kind of an attack on inductive reasoning when applied poorly

holy shit this is actually an umineko post

you can smell the virginity from miles away

 

[Didi]

holy shit this is actually an umineko post

wow @Ratchet is being called all the way out

 

[Ratchet]

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Umineko.

In other words.

Juanita need not apply.

I'm always partial to voting for you. But Nessos has been MIA for a while now too. And all of my spite list is gone.

Why are you in such a rush to lynch? Do you have an ability that you want to use already?

 

[Ekkologix]

how much of ur full power r u planning to use this game?

we're working on finding that out

 

[Fang]

how much of ur full power r u planning to use this game?

we're working on finding that out

How much of YOUR power are you using for this one?

 

[jinri]

how much of ur full power r u planning to use this game?

we're working on finding that out

1%. However, 1% now is equivalent to 100% in my prime, so it depends on your perspective.

@Ratchet How are you, my friend?

 

[Ekkologix]

How much of YOUR power are you using for this one?

zehahahha
thought u may never ask

currently at 0.29% full power

i dont think i will be pushed past 3.74% but we will see

 

[jinri]

I plan to AndrewGreve this Faves.

 

[Fang]

zehahahha

Don't make me reiatsu crush you kid

 

[SoulKiller]

Howdy once again folks, that was quite the start of a game huh? lol.

 

[Hero]

okay lads
enough floofing

who we yeeting today

I’m surprised you haven’t attempted to derail the game with bullshit reads & lead town to hell.

How uncharacteristic of you

 

[SoulKiller]

I knew this town was too small for two Souls.

I agree with this sentiment soul. Which is why you should keep in mind that I am your killer. Your fate will be sealed by me. Until that happens, we can work together as fellow souls.

 

[Fang]

Santi are you town?

 

[jinri]

Everyone should skim through the Group 1 game thread. Giving their top reads!

Sharing and discussion might Help town of Group 1 to determine scum!


Also thus we have the chance to start discussion useful shit instead of wasting big part of Day 1

Reading the other thread lol Sounds like some real scum stuff.

I'm going to focus more on this game than the other game. Broker is obvious scum though.

So, I have a bit of an idea here. I posit that we approach this game as a Kingmaker/Majority Lynch hybrid. Basically, we all nominate a player or a couple players after a few hours in the day, those we have a good feel for being plausibly Town. They pick the lynch, and we stack on as if it requires majority. That way, everyone gets to be a viable lynch target, and only a handful of people can influence the lynch to change its course, which should prevent last minute wagons flipping.

Thoughts? Consider this an open question to the room.

Perhaps after a few days have gone by.

 

[SoulKiller]

What colour is your blood?

I would usually gladly tell you, but you already know the answer don't you LM?
