Diablo the mafia game!

Sooh/Shad is town.

 

I don't have any reason to dispute this, but I'm not there yet.  Sooh's been absent so far, and Shad's done nohting alignment indicative for me.

[Andrej]

We can agree on that.

Blom, have you spectated any games before or is this kind of a leap into the dark for you?

I followed that previous one... what was it called... euhm. I'll check and get back to you

Are you scum?

No.

 

 

 

So says most scum.....

[Songstress]

Sooh/Shad is town.

They are.

 

Because raisins.

[Andrej]

Well that's cool.

 

From my POV I have to decide whether I think Shad is actually trying to figure out Besie or if he wants it to look that way. I've seen him talk before as scum about playing to his meta, like hitting wickets or something, and looking at their interaction I get the "playing with my prey" impression that he's said to me personally about how he handles potential suspects.

 

TLDR - we'll see.

 

Clov I like marginally better but I don't think any of the observations he's made are outside of his capability as scum. He understands the perspective game and would know he needs to look like he's evaluating my intent. Still a bit curious about his original statement though.

 

Anyway - DL is tomorrow so let's start buckling down and discussing people. I'm starting to see some seer cover so that's much appreciated.

Which "original statement" are you referring to?

[Lenlo]

Oh crap it is? Alright im gonna take a shower and then come back and reread, figure out whats goin on.

[Yates]

Dice is definitely town.

Why you say this?

[Yates]

Sooh/Shad is town.

Why you say this?

[Andrej]

@Clov the one I said you'd have to assume I was town for

 

I have a good feeling Thane is a villager. I liked Yates earlier too.

I feel like you should know that's there's a N0 peek Yates...so my question to you is...

 

Why you ask this?

Are these guts reads AJ or do you have some reasoning you can reference?

[Yates]

Why you ask this?

No reason. Just thought maybe they could fabricate a reason for the "read."

Mostly gut tbh. I liked their tone coming into it even if the game hadn't really taken off yet.

[Yates]

Silence.

 

Fine.

 

Let me give you a for instance.

 

Dice is Town. I think Dice is Town because Town Dice is like:

[Clovdyx]

I don't understand what you're curious about.  You either had a reason, or you were saying something to say it (basically trying to move the same into serious discussion).  Considering I hadn't done a damn thing in terms of actual content - and couldn't reasonably have been expected to - any reason would stem from "tone" or effort, and you trying to say I'm different from how you've been me before is reasonable enough.

 

If you were just saying it to draw up activity or see how people reacted, it doesn't mean anything for your alignment.  

[Zander?]

No reason. Just thought maybe they could fabricate a reason for the "read."

 

 

"How to provide cover

The trick with providing cover is in figuring out accurate fake peeks and maintaining those peeks as the day progresses. As you saw above, once you fake a peek on scum the scum team knows you are not the real seer and that limits the pool of potential people who can be the real seer. This being the case, it is almost always advisable to fake your "peek" on someone you are Town reading. In order to do this, it makes the most sense for everyone to hold off on dropping their fake peeks [and for the seer to hold off on dropping their real peek] until there is enough information in the thread to give everyone actual reads. It is always easier to maintain a fake peek on someone you are Town reading anyway.

 

Some people think it's a good idea to drop their peek in their first post. While this might seem like a good idea, since statistically you are more likely to randomly choose a villager, you make it harder for the real seer to pretend their read could also be fake. This method also relies 100% on luck. While luck is certainly involved to a certain extent, we also like to think of this as a game of skill. So why not use your skills by waiting longer in order to improve your luck?

 

Make your peeks clear. Some people like to hide their fake peeks. This is a bad idea. If you get killed at night, you want your peeks to be OBVIOUS to the rest of the Town. This is especially true in Turbo games where every second counts. The less time the village has to spend figuring out your peeks, the easier it will be to soft clear Townies. Also, you will want your real seer to make their peeks obvious so you want to try to emulate that clarity. Using phrases like “if I’m the seer I peeked playerX Town n0” or simply “I peeked player Town last night” leave no doubt.

 

Once you have committed to a fake peek, you have to stick with that peek. If I call Thingy my n0 peek and I suddenly start suspecting him [even though the scum team knows he is Town], it becomes pretty clear to the scum team that I am not the real seer because I "dropped cover." So if I call Thingy my n0 peek, he has to always be the "Towniest" person in all future reads lists.

 

The hardest time to maintain cover is when someone claims to be the real seer. Do yourself and everyone else a favor and evaluate the authenticity of that claim before you just drop your cover [by unvoting or high fiving or something like that]. Scum will often fake claim seer when caught to see how people react so their team mates might be able to find the real seer."
