Popcorn Mafia

yes, shooting a marginal townsperson is mathematically suboptimal.

putting my joking aside im still gonna read people with the psychological effect i described in mind, because it seems quite applicable to other players, if not yourself. actually, let me ask you directly.

do you think apparent willingness to get shot is a towntell? (putting on hold the fact that if you were to conclude it is a towntell the mafia would have to wifom off it)

@big_ass honestly you can shoot nyte now

Nyte said "i prefer to win games from the gy anyway".

on one hand you could read this as a slip since villagers dont die when shot.
on the other you can consider this a first-order hbotz towntell read since mafia doesnt want to die and villagers dont rly care / would feel vindicated (unless they are maniacs calibrated for winning games like KrazyKat)

of course since nyte would be claiming she simply did not understand the mechanics as town this towntell is of the regular strength for any situation where alleged villager is threatening being shot (not the particular haha i get the gun one)

yea i was also thinking its either a scum slip cuz she wouldnt die, or a town slip since scum tends to pay more attention to mexanix and town doesnt read

in conclusion, nyte is either town or scum.

For the right player and the right shooter, yes.
If a bad player has the gun, and you have some good reads, then do it.

In this case, I think asoul has better day one reads than me most of the time.

ur playing kind of scared arent u? nobody has proposed shooting you :slight_smile: i understand youre trying to justify why you dont want to get shot, but it seems a wee bit excessive if the gun isnt pointed at you, no?

im just bullying u a little :peepogun:

also in the event that someone being misshot doesnt have good reads / doesnt want to internalize the responsibility / cant psychologically find a reason to cope with shooting wrong you can just always ask the gunbearer to name a second person

tbh lets just make asoul declare a list of 8 people and we can end the game instantly /s

Good point.

@big_ass please do this before you shoot.

mm i wonder why u added the "im just bullying u a little pepe" line

the first few lines u could say the purpose was to get some kind of reaction from kkat a la lucky artist

so why explicitly reveal ur hands on the very next line hbotz?

like i get it why would u clarify that if this were a normal social interaction

but in the context of mafia which is a social interaction + a game it can get blurry

u are correct. it was not the right play.

i should be more ruthless and properly grill the supposed victory-seeking maniac player i guess :sob:

actually this is fundamentally a good criticism so maybe you just try really hard and are not necessarily mafia :slight_smile:

if you wanted me to mount a proper defense id tell you im just in theorycraft/shitposting mindset right now and just typing things conversationally without trying to influence anyone in a certain way

i was thinking out loud more in terms of whether or not ur mafia and u wanted to show us "im drilling kittykat" but in the next line try to "calm him down" to avoid a "1v1" but if ur town what u said is valid and makes sense. like, u perceiving my post as an advice rather than suspicioun (which is what it was). i do get the feeling that ur power level (in terms of mafia ) is higher than average but ill take the risk and still townread u

ah. i did parse it as suspicion, i just dont have a good defense.

its a fundamentally good criticism because it implies i dont have a consistent mindset of exposing and lynching the mafia (which indeed i was not in the mindset of doing) since my actions are going in two different directions

is a good read.

hbotz town probs
