Screw it, I've never taken part in these but I've finally gotten back into gaming, have a massive free game collection, Steam collection, and access to old consoles right now, so might as well record what I do.

41. Beat a game with a Metascore above 90

Mario Kart: Super Circuit

47. Play a technically unbeatable game for at least six hours

Vampire Survivors

33. Beat a game with a robot/artificial lead

Citizen Sleeper

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/YoungerThanTheyLook/VideoGames

Got a really easy trope, so there's plenty of selection there. Might replay Disco Elysium or a Pokmon game, or try one of the several hundred-hour RPGs.

I definitely think Evangelion got a massive boost because it was a surreal "adult" anime and had well designed waifubait characters right in time for internet fandoms to develop. That, plus mechs, Shinji resonating a lot with Japanese people and the meme potential because of all the super dumb stuff put it in a pretty good spot. Also, the merch. There's so much of it in Japan and I think having a controversial ending probably marketed it a ton too.

I think anyone who plans to see a lot of anime should watch it just because of its massive impact on the medium. That said, I can't blame anyone who refuses to finish it because it's just not very fun for a lot of its runtime (just about all of it, if you don't like surreal shit).

I did another quick skim. It seems like requiring unvotes happened post-Fettbox, but pre-mafia board. It didn't look to be a result of Dels bringing mafia to CE.

Now I'm just curious to see how this started. But I think logging faqs goes back to the beginning of using that Mafia board anyway, so idk.
I didn't join CE Mafia til a while after it started, but we always required unvotes there. We also always had them on the Pokmon boards which spun off from the Smash boards (and both melded into CE) iirc? Idk how or if those latter two link into here, but it's pretty safe to say from that info that unvotes were around by 2013 at the latest.

A scum daykill is fine, especially if it has stipulations. The problem is that Executioner stops Town getting a chance to lynch, which is kinda miserable to play for them. As a general rule, punishing Town by preventing them from lynching is not very fun and a pain to balance - in the same vein as having roles that punish Town for killing anti-Town roles like Jester or Scum Bomb.

Sultan, just take a lil while to cool off and don't bother yourself too much about it all, shit happens. If you wanna host again a ways down the road I (and likely a few others) would be more than happy to help out and will hopefully clock anything too dodgy.

Nobody has a particular problem with you, they're just frustrated and have a decade-plus of experience with complex and competitive games, which makes anything that isn't quite balanced a little frustrating. I appreciate you putting on a game and it'd have been fine with a few changes. Just take it on board for next time.

I wanna join another game first because I don't know when I'll next have the time and energy to be in one, and I would rather World Cup Mafia first for topicality purposes (i.e. it's more likely to attract someone new which we always sorely need) but the setup might need tweaking.

That said, if absolutely nobody has the ability to host anytime soon I could have Console Mafia ready to start a week Friday? Or basically on-demand at a later date, if we need a break.

I've had Video Game Console Mafia just about done for a little while, which I can run at any point where people want something simple to pass through a dry spell. I also recently came up with a setup for World Cup 2022 Mafia, but that'd need a experienced co-host from an American timezone, because I both want to discuss balance first and would need someone else to make sure it runs smoothly.

Well, I had fun in the little time I was able to be in this game! Scum were always winning from that position, I might have gotten one of Lopen and Lea but no way I lynch both before Kirby. They played well, but that win was definitely down to the swingy setup.

Also, fun tidbit, I think that's the first time I've ever been endgamed in ~100 games of Mafia.

The only way it could be an indy is if it's a weird one shot vigilante survivor. Which I wouldn't put it past beyond Sultan to place in the game, but I also don't think is worth considering unless Ben flips something that indicates such a role exists.

I think it's a weird fuckin shot coming from both indy and scum tbh.

It's very obviously not a Town shot, yeah.

I kinda agree that the timing was weird. But also, I personally just think it was funny that Han got shot immediately after saying Corrik wasn't vig. Comedic timing is absolutely a valid reason to kill someone you wanted to kill and I believe ScumBen would appreciate that if his team made the kill.

I will definitely give your thought process more credence if Ben's flip indicates such an independent role might exist, though.

I mean I might be wrong, but my thought when seeing the shot was that it was scum using it to take out the best player and get another night out of Isquen's scan.

Also, this is some slight wifom territory, but it feels like the Han shot draws too much focus to Corrik for a multitude of reasons to have been him.

Then again, isn't that what Corrik wants at the end of the day?

Either way, I'm gonna read the game back in a little while and see if it makes sense through that lens. It's worth considering everything even if I do feel confident with my current reads. And I suppose I would expect there to be a third party if there's only three Scum, I just haven't really gone down that route yet because I didn't consider it worth focusing on.

I would rather like the Plum Approved Confirmed Town status before he dies, so gonna ask quickly: is there anything you wanna know or would like me to think about right now, Plum?

And as one final thing, I'd ask people go back and look at VA's posts. There's not many so an ISO should be simple enough, but when reading back (albeit while heavily biased), I found he looked like adorably bumbling Town. Maybe a read back through his stuff would make y'all see it the same way I did, and if not, I'll go hunt down the posts that made me think that way when it's not 3am

Not sure if that necessarily means anything. Scum defending town with weak reasoning sometimes is due to them knowing they are town
Yeah, ofc, it's just an inkling I get based on the way Ben did it. It's not solid evidence at all by itself. The biggest reason for me thinking Ctes/Kirby is Scum is that every other player has given plenty of reason to think they're Town.

Only other thing I'd noticed was I felt Sheep's "Ben defended ctes lots" argument from today seemed blown out of proportion. Ben mentioned ctes once by my count?

I think honing in on this as a huge thing is odd. Am I wrong? I am isoing on mobile so it's quite possible I missed some.

Sheep007 posted...
Sorry Ben, can you elaborate on the roleblocker part? Given we are still yet to see a roleblocker, I'm curious to know where you got it from.

Thought this post was odd too. What are you going for here?
Ben mentioned ctes a fair bit in this topic. He thought he was scum at the start, and then made this post at the end of page 2.

PunishedBen posted...

Hmmmm

This was said to defend Marth from a flavor attack by Plum. Does this make Ctes town? Maybe I'm a sucker who thinks scum is incapable of using their fake flavor as a weapon for good. That would be a 5head play for scum to make

This was said solely in response to Ctes using his flavour to defend Plum. Post #97 of the topic. From this point on, Ben mentioned Ctes as probably being Town multiple times, which I think is really, really weak reasoning. He also did a sly little thing when I replaced in, saying that I and Ctes couldn't have shot Han D2 (post #221), and puts forward that Han agreed with him on Ctes too (#227). Both while I was very clearly not caught up and asking for a lil bit of context. To me, this feels like an attempt by Ben to get Ctes in my head early as someone I shouldn't be worried about, by both linking him with myself, and by using the word of Han (a player Ben knows I respect) to back his point up.

Also, in the latter post you quoted, I just wanted Ben to talk and explain stuff. I figured the more I got him to say the more he'd incriminate himself. Plus there's no reason for anyone to think there's a roleblocker in this game and if he had a real reason to think that I woulda wanted to hear it.

In my undefense, I don't think it was exactly ballsy to call out Ben given Lopen and Lea were both gonna be after him today regardless and he looked awful to anyone who had been reading the game. I just think that the way Ben responds is weird as shit if he's scum with me OR with Lopen.

Also, I recognise that this may just be because of my current reads, but it does bug me that you extrapolated from this -

Everyone else alive looks pretty good based on past days and Ctes kinda... doesn't. If it's any consolation, you've not done much wrong except occupy by far the scummiest non-Ben slot!

Lopen posted...
He is the easiest guy to pressure as scum. He lets stuff slide off of him and he's really hard to lynch. I'm not sure sheep has played here enough to know this but it is why I felt him coming in an saying Corrik is lazy looked real bad (because I havent felt he's been unreasonably lazy after the first bit of the game), then doubling back and saying he was town today, much worse in fact because I'm not sure how that evolved beyond seeing that people weren't biting on scum Corrik.
I'm aware of all of this. I've been in a ton of games with Corrik and I know he's a good player. I was not saying he was Scum in the yesterday, I was asking him to give the game a look over and catch some scum because I know he's a good player and that there are Scum still to be caught. I'm not really sure how I can show that thought process, because everyone decided to end the previous day before I could actually catch up with the game and give solid reads, but I've never thought he was Scum. Hell, I unvoted literally the same post because I had no interest in pushing him. I don't think he's been unreasonably lazy at all but I wanted him round to help solve the game (especially at the time I was posting, because I wanted his backing with pressuring Ben and Ctes).

Also, fwiw, I do like Lopen's responses to Lea in the last few pages. I do kinda agree that they're more measured responses than I'm used to, but judging by the fact that Lopen doesn't realise I've been here on and off since about 2015, I probably don't have a large enough sample size to say that indicates much. I think his activity in the game has been generally pro-town and Kirby would need to do a lot of convincing to make me wanna lynch him.

I'm honestly gonna blank out the setup stuff right now unless something new comes up? I want to focus on finding the third scum today, and then we can deal with looking for any third party or fourth scum once we have info on the table tomorrow, or the next day. I really don't think we have enough to go on right now and I'm very hesitant to focus on shaky role meta in a Sultan game after the way y'all lost Nick Mafia.

Also, to be a little bitch and defend myself before anyone attacks: do people really think Scum Ben reacts to a Scum teammate like he did here?

PunishedBen posted...
No, this is probably the first time I've expressed any of that. Thanks for getting it out of me I guess! I usually hold back a lot until someone has become scum through POE, because it's a lot easier to find actual accurate evidence for someone being town than someone being scum
That's a post from someone panicking and giving into pressure to appease them. The only reason for him to respond like this is if we're Scum/Town.

I really am sad I didn't get the chance to maul Ben today, in case I hadn't mentioned it enough.

So you're also suspicious of Lea, too, eh?

I had similar thoughts when I was reviewing the game yesterday. I need to do a proper ISO of her, but I get the feeling she's been mostly pushing her "look at the inactives" agenda and making humorous quips.

Like, don't get me wrong, I fundamentally agree with Lea's stance on inactives. But I don't think she's really dug into anyone besides Ben, who we see now is scum. Moreover, I feel like she doesn't have much to say about anyone else.

This might just be my paranoia of not seeing a scum Lea in a long time, but I recall that in SW&P Mafia that she had rather weak reads, or at least, that's what I recall from when I was in this game. I don't feel like her read list said anything too substantial.
I've thought about this a lil more, and I'm not wholly sure where it's coming from? I think Lea always tends to have less really solid reads, and mostly brings the game forward through discussion than massive pressure. Comparing this to SW&P Mafia as well, she's definitely being more pushy and inquisitive. I know it's been a while and chances are she's back in the swing more, but she's not had the fluff problem from before. Having read back, I really like her pushing on SBell in the fifth page of topic one. I don't feel like Scum Lea needles quite like that so early. I'm not 100% on this feeling because there's definitely some sections of the game where Lea goes fluff-only? But I do think that's just a byproduct of how she is (and this game being slow).

Anyway, speaking of Lea...

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

I think this post solidifies Lea as Town a little more for me, because it matches my thoughts on Kirby well. Not that they were particularly secret, but I'm a sucker for people repeating my own ideas. Very validating.

I just... really don't understand coming into the game with that approach as Town? Like, man, I'm fairly confident I joined today with decent knowledge of who was Scum, and I didn't feel the need to come out of the gates guns blazing. As you said, it feels like Kirby is playing to a different game state and goal. I'm also not sure how much I like Kirby's comedown post. It's necessary as either alignment, but it feels like Kirby's gone "oh shit, being so aggro makes me look really bad" (a scum mindset) rather than "oh shit, being so aggro isn't getting any information out of people" (a town mindset).

ISOing through Lopen's posts. As I've documented well, I struggle to read him. That said... he looks pretty good this game, or at the very least has played in a pro-town manner. I really like his push on Corrik, it's well measured and actually did something. He's not tried to control the game in the way I would expect him to as Scum. I can also see exactly where he turned and decided to not lynch Ctes, which I think has carried over from D1.

I'd also like to add that Lopen's JC progression in D1 and onwards feels really natural, and I really can't get over Ben trying to push him when prodded after I replaced in. I wish I'd gotten more time to go down that avenue and see if Ben would commit to it because we're badly lacking info rn.

Anyway, my bitterness aside, a reminder that when I asked Ben who to lynch between Ctes/Lopen/JC/Corrik, I got this.
PunishedBen posted...
Probably Lopen.

Day 1 I never put him on my town list because while he was active he seemed very self aware. I'm not following his logic today. Yes, I barely follow it when he's town too, but I havent gotten the same level of town conspiracy Lopen that I cleared him for last game. He is calling me scum which I dont like. I find it weird he didnt factor in you or Ctes at all when making his grand ol analysis that was supposed to solve the game.

He did admit himself day 1 that he would be playing this game differently, but I really liked a point someone made (I think it was Lea?), that the last time he said he was going to play differently he ended up being scum.
And when asked about whether he'd talked about this before.

I basically entered the game day 2. I'd like to day Ctes and Corrik are town for posts I highlighted day 2. Han actually had a pretty good summary right before he died of where my head is at
Like idk about y'all but the first paragraph of this post basically solidified Ben as scum for me at the time. The dude had not given any scumreads for basically the whole game until this point! I'm just trying to figure out whether it's within Ben's scum range to try and bus Lopen here, given he definitely has a chance of survival but is probably the next lynch target at this stage. Thoughts?

Elaborate. What interactions did Lopen have with Ben and Ctes that made you feel those ways? You have once again brought up an argument for Ben doing something toward Lopen and Ctes, rather than the other way around. You seem pretty fixated on Ben, huh?

One more thing... you think Lea is Town. You are now considering Corrik as Town. You don't think Lopen has been scummy this game.

Then who is the remaining scum? You say I'm scum with Ben. Surely you're not gonna say the fourth is Plum, are you?

Because although it's possible that there are three scum, we are better off playing this day as if there were four.
I'm gonna play as if there's four, don't get me wrong - I said as much yesterday. I'm just not really bothered about lynching any of them before you right now. You could change that with a compelling argument! Right now, I'm saying all three are probably town, but not definitely (although I'm honestly not far off with Corrik).

Also, honestly, it's particularly that Ctes did almost nothing with regards to scumhunting. Like, it didn't seem he was putting in any effort to solve the game, and mostly just commenting to do something (as Lea said at some point, he was there to talk when someone mentioned his name). I also had something in my notes saying that it was weird that he lead with Lopen suspicion, but I actually think that was intended for Ben's section, so forgive me (I have written about a thousand words and some bits are rather muddled).

And yes, I am rather fixated on Ben. He's the only person who looks scummy that's actually done things to look scummy (as opposed to doing very little substantial, as ctes did), and I think he has a ton linking him with other players. I wish I got a little more out of him yesterday tbh, that's where I was heading when I started prodding. I'm a lil salty about ending the day early because it's far easier to get info out of someone when they aren't dead on their feet.

Also, I really haven't seen anything I thought was off about Corrik and Lea, so I'm confident on them, and I had a fair section about JC but ended up reading him about the same as Lopen (as Probably Town, but with more good and also more bad). Gonna reread again on Lopen when it's not 4am, because I do need to digest his posts a lot more, it's just something I struggle with.

Also also, I'm gonna be honest, but reading back I found a lot more to make me read people as Town than to read them as Scum. I find it curious that you've spent today on the offensive, because I don't feel like the gamestate warrants it, regardless of there being four scum or not. If you are town, I think we'll find whatever scum remains through little cracks and slow cranking of the pressure at this stage. This is a good time to ask questions and build on things rather than being in-your-face and aggro, imo.

Honestly I felt like the kills looked like someone trying to emulate corrik kills from my very last game and trying to paint me. And I can't say Lopen trying to make me miserable all game alive in this while painting me for the mislynch.

But, I have been withdrawn from it and don't feel like getting too big into it. Plum obviously knew day 1 I was purposely trying to emulate reds power (arsonist) day 1 playstyle to get scum to target me day 1 until I just got aggravated and went fuck it towards the end of day 1. That's why I said I don't think Plum says that out loud if he wasn't town.
Interesting point on the kills. I'm gonna stick on the same limb that I was on before and say that Ben is the most likely one to try the cute kills, whether they're replicating you or not, but do you think anyone else is likely to carry them out?

Either way, I wanna focus down today and have a clear plan going into endgame once Plum dies. I wanna know your thoughts on the Ctes/Ben link that I've seen through this topic. Do you think Ben tries to bus Lopen when prodded if he's a scummate?

Okay ninja'd. You've offered thoughts on Corrik in response to me providing my own reads.

But I want you to tell me your thoughts on Lopen before I answer you about Lea.
I can't read the dude great, and my eyes kinda glaze over sometimes when Lopen posts. That said, I don't feel like he's particularly scummy this game. I like his conclusions from D3 even if he picked out JC instead of yourself, because he ended up in a very similar place to myself that I thought was natural. Also, I like Lopen's Ben interactions and they make me feel good about him. Ctes' feel kinda rancid. And as I mentioned before, Ben putting Lopen up for a mislynch D3 when prodded feels off. Especially considering he said literally nothing about it before I asked him. That's basically what sold me on Ben being scum in the first place, and I think Ben is more likely to overextend saving his pals than bussing them (as evidenced by our Scum game together).

I respect ya, Lea, and for what it's worth, I found your quips hilarious... but prove me wrong. Even Han said you were rather quiet this game.
Han might have said it, but what do you think about Lea being quiet, Kirby?

I would say i can prove it by letting me death delay plum like I've been doing, but scum could easily just role block me and kill plum. So we have no choice but to kill the role blocker today
Sorry Ben, can you elaborate on the roleblocker part? Given we are still yet to see a roleblocker, I'm curious to know where you got it from.

I'm not confident enough in the state of the game to say who to lynch, but I don't feel bad about Corrik. He's totally capable of changing his scum playstyle, which was an argument brought up with regard to how differently he's playing compared to last game, but I feel like scum Corrik wouldn't be so invested in debating the flavor split with Han and coming to the complete, wrong conclusion by misinterpreting Han's post.

Something about that felt genuine, especially when Isquen's flip clearly shows that the split is liquors vs. non-liquors. So scum knows the flavor split for absolutely sure.
I feel like Corrik is Town, but I really, really want to see more from him. Frankly, I think Corriks ego would not take being in a winning position and having not done anything at all as Scum - I think he'd have made more ballsy plays, especially with the game right there for the taking. Also, the earlygame kills are not Corrik kills (they are Benjamin kills. Don't think I didn't notice that!).

Im remembering Awakening Mafia from like a year ago, where ScumCorrik spent a large portion of the game piling on Chris and eventually managing to swing his lynch. This game, he mostly went for what he himself would call low-hanging fruit. And Han for a little bit in topic 2, but well let that one slide. Corrik loves big plays and this would be a very sad game by his Scum standards. Also, this one is more gut and I wouldnt expect to convince anyone via it, but all of Corriks posts on the first page of the second topic just scream to me that hes Town. Ill be considering the possibility, obviously, but it'd take a lot of convincing.

Hey Corrik

I'm pretty sure that Ben and Kirby are scum

Who're you picking for the potential third between myself/Lopen/Lea, if it comes to that?

Let's just assume Marth is scum for a minute.

I wanna look at this list. Cuz it's interesting. In that it's probably too right and too strategically set up.

Town
Jc
Lopen
Abacus

I already said JC and Marth can't be scum together. If Marth is scum, JC has to he town and thus this is right. He will claim he is my friend I can read him well yadda yadda bullshit okay.

Lopen and Abacus like I said are probably town. So let's just assume these 3 are all correct. Endearing scum, and look at me I am playing well some yay.

Now we got Lean Town

This is where you would throw a scum or two in the batch to not have to go after them but also keep up you are playing good.

Lea
Plum
Han
Isquen

Lea and Plum are probably Town. Han and isquen are the issue, moreso isquen stands out as a wtf. Like, how do you have isquen probably Town. Han I am not convinced is town, but I felt had more odds of being scum with JC. However, if Marth is scum the top 3 are definitely Town and there is 1 or 2 scum in this probably list and it's not Lea or Plum.

No idea
Red
Corrik

I'm Town. See nothing to suggest red is scum. Starting our mislynch pool. But keeping stronger players in "someone else please let me follow these" trains.

Kinda scummy
Ctes
Sbell

One of these likely to be scum if Marth is scum.

Scum
Ben
Mzero

One of these is guaranteed to be scum here.

How many players do this game have?

14.

4 scum.

Marth, Ctes/Sbell, Ben/Mzero, Isquen/Han.

Let's just throw this out there.

Marth, Mzero, Isquen for now.

Ctes Sbell and Han are the final scum. Likely in that exact order of likelihood.

Okay see you day 2.

I think I had Marth, and 3 either ors after that. Forget who.
You had Marth, MZero, Isquen and Ctes/SBell/Han in that order.

I want to elaborate on this a little more later too, but I strongly believe Lea is Town. I genuinely feel like she was trying to figure out the game, and her reaction during D2 and the start of D3 was basically what I was feeling when reading through in detail this game is eminently solvable from where we are (even more so with JC gone). I like it when people say what Im thinking without it being public knowledge (and that is the reason why I am the only person who ever thinks Death is Town). Partially because I love people agreeing with me, but also because it shows me theyre coming at things with the same mindset as I am.

Also, Kirby! Right now, you're my top Scumread (assuming we just kill Ben and Plum isn't throwing). Who else should we lynch?

Also also, I've just had the thought while typing that, that Scum probably would have redirected Plum to himself anyway even when trying to kill him, and Plum's just fishing for reads. And Plum probably knows that, and Scum probably know that, so I don't think there's much harm in me pointing that out. Either way, I'm very convinced on Ben and happy to lynch him regardless.

I'm also a little scared that there's gonna be three remaining scum with the extra bodyguard. But I'll cross that bridge in a lil while.
