Mafia 2 - Wishes of Hogwarts

[PsychoSoldier]

I'm going to call in one of my guys to take a look at this.

Who's one of your guys?

 

[PsychoSoldier]

Vote No Lynch


Cuz that’s where we shall be anyways.
Also dunno how to do the whole closed caption look

Reminder to myself to add emotes this week

 

[PsychoSoldier]

are you trying to bait me into claiming and getting me modkilled? thats really cringe.

Getting towny feels from this response

 

[Badger]

Spoiler alert. All reality shows are scripted. Some more than others and some are just plain fake like an episode of Jerry Springer starring Memphis wrestling star Bill Dundee and his son J.C. Ice former member of the Nation.

I’d always known Pimp My Ride was scripted to some degree like for example Xzibit happening to show up and the guests pretending to be surprised. But years after reading about the horror stories behind the scenes of what actually happened with the vehicles was still a shocking eye opener.

 

[PsychoSoldier]

I wish for all no-lynchers to be lynched

Vote: Caito

Also good vibes from this

 

[PsychoSoldier]

The thing about a psycho first push is that sometimes he likes to do it, because it's the most memorable one. And he might no he's gonna get checked soon. And sometimes you've got a big pile of nothing. And if I'm going to move a product, I've gotta know what it's worth. Otherwise it's just taking up shelf space.

blind ninja has been analyzing matthieu votes since 1983, and is considered one of the foremost evaluators of his triggers in the viking larping community. @Blind Ninja, what type of appraisal would you put on that vote?

Feels on Xan so far, though?

Y'all should watch season 1 of the Joe Schmo Show

Was pawn stars originally labeled as a reality show?

Either way, Im well aware that the vast majority of shows are scripted and completely true

 

[Blind Ninja]

You're not determined enough

I agree with this... I just said it was frowned upon

 

[MTR]

Y'all should watch season 1 of the Joe Schmo Show

I loved that show. That was so entertaining. I enjoyed second season but not as much.

Any show like that is labeled reality.

Probably the only reality show that was really reality or as close as you get to it was the first season of the Real World but even then there was creative editing.

100% of shows like that use creative editing to add more drama or make it the least bit entertaining. Thousands of hours of video to roll into a 30min-1hr episode

 

[3puppies]

I want to get a vote in because I don't trust what can happen by not voting, or by voting sleep.

Vote: Val the Moofia Boss

No reason other than the suggestion to lynch the no lynchers

 

[MTR]

Yeah and they did make people look a certain way. The first cast though were like we really had no idea what to expect or do because they were the first. After that people that went on shows like Real World and Road Rules knew more what to expect and how they wanted to act on the show. Of course that didn't always work in the way the thought due to editing. lol I stopped watching after like 3 seasons.

You act like there has been mechanics in play to kill non-voters in the past. There is still plenty of time in this phase though.

Not sure if this was sarcasm or not, but there definitely have been games that punished people for not voting.

Void has ran at least one of 'em.

 

[PsychoSoldier]

I loved that show. That was so entertaining. I enjoyed second season but not as much.

I'm not really big into reality shows, but that one was so fascinating to me, especially because all accounts point to Matt legitimately having no clue the whole time.

Sorry left off the /sarcasm. I recently played a SK that could kill non-voters.

Yeah I am not sure if he really had no idea or not but it did seem like he had no clue.

Hrm. No, I don't think? Maybe? No, no, the vibrations of my crystals don't see that.

I dont see anything suggesting punishment for nonvoters. Only thing I see is recommending at least 10 posts per phase

 

[MTR]

It would seem there was a third season of Joe Schmo in 2013. May have to find that to stream.

 

[Blind Ninja]

Hrm. No, I don't think? Maybe? No, no, the vibrations of my crystals don't see that.

random reactions to thread or a wish that came to you?

 

[3puppies]

No, I don't really have a feel on anyone yet. I hadn't voted at that point and had wondered openly about voting sleep.


I concur with the Joe Schmo Show being one of the few reality shows I watched and enjoyed. The first season was really good, second was not as good, and third was just okay.

 

[3puppies]

In my first game I got killed N1 for leading a no-yeet train. Other games punish non-voters.

 

[Claws]

What if he is lying about being Claws granddad too.

i have no grandparents to clearly this is a lie

 

[Randolph]

You're not determined enough

I can't digest nail clippings and hair anymore. I'm getting old.

 

[Claws]

i used to drink franks hot sauce right outta the bottle for like years now i cant do it and im sad old age will get-cha

3pups made a good point about the voting, so ima throw a vote out so I don’t fall victim to one just in case.

Vote: Future

 

[Mazer]

Listen, when you've been in this business for 21 years, you know you need guys for everything. Sometimes you call in a guy, and they don't even give you the appraisal you asked for.

When you're looking at an early era xan, you gotta ask yourself how likely an exposure for a first push is. You'd then think "well when that happens,, you're only probably going to find something rare if it comes in pairs".

So the best I can do is a light interest in the first question and the first back-up.

But the one thing I know for sure, is you never know what's going to walk through that door.

 

[Mazer]

Time makes fools of us all, especially my hairline :(

I can get you hooked up with a vintage cloth and razor set. 17.50

 

[CWE]

Well that's interesting. I really didn't expect those 2 to trigger my scum tells...

 

[Kareemah]

Oh god, I didn’t realize we started and missed so much but I’m ready how do we find cult if we can’t call out our roles

 

[CWE]

There is no cult. It just good ol scum hunting season.

 

[Kareemah]

 

[Blind Ninja]

Oh god, I didn’t realize we started and missed so much but I’m ready how do we find cult if we can’t call out our roles

No cult... based on colors and names...

Death Eaters appears to be a scum team
The Alliance appears to be some other team
I assume names in blue are likely to be the town element of this setup
Sybill (Nightingale) is listed as a neutral and untargetable. Peeves is also listed, so assume neutral of some sorts

 

[Blind Ninja]

Guess I should read my rolecard...

Order of the Pheonix is town. Always helps to know who/what I am when I start playing

 

[CWE]

A likely story...

 

[Mazer]

 

[Tildey]

[Tildey]

EWOP *had started

Something I found interesting is that Marauder’s Map is in blue. So is the map somehow a character in its own right? A mousekatool perhaps?

 

[Blind Ninja]

If the map is a player, I would assume its a tracker or watcher type

 

[Listo95]

Either that or maybe it gets given to someone and they get the action, or the results. But yours is more likely I think.

 

[Dreyski]

My name's the Homely Man and this is my mafia shop.

I work here with my old man Badger and my son, claws. Everything in here has a story and a price. One thing I've learned after 21 years – you never know WHAT is gonna come through that door

I should probably lay off RDR2 because I’m now imagining Badger as Uncle, you as John, and Claws as Jack Marston.

Wondering if the Badger/BN interaction yesterday was indicative of anything significant.

[Dreyski]

It was the unvote as much as anything. In my experience, day one yeets (when played straight) are vanishingly rare, because D1 votes are typically random, or done as a running joke (see Peter Griffin, CWE).

 

[Dreyski]

Oh, and has anyone done a character/player tally based on current info? I’m technology-limited at the moment.
Wonder if Snape is a traitor character for OOP?

Dreyski saying my Caito day 1 votes are a joke is just asking to get added to the day 1 scum list.

 

[Tildey]

I’ve gotten the bones of my spreadsheet started. We’re still 6-7 characters short of the number of players (depending on if you count the Marauder’s Map as a character).

 

[CWE]

I haven't even thought about procrastinating while delaying making my spreadsheet.

AKA...ask me on day 4 if I'm alive.

Or I'll vote you out on principle.

It hurt putting that (Vote) Caito vote down without dem eyes squinting at him.

 

[CWE]

Have a base template with you in the 1st spot and around 20 ish openings after. Then just modify anytime you need on a game by game basis. It will save a lot of time in the long run.

I’ve got a standard base template that I use. It’s more that if I don’t keep up (at least the minimum) I won’t go backward to catch up.

 

[Matthieu]

I don't really keep track of anything in these games other than relying on my memory and occasionally pretending to go back through the thread to see if there's something I missed when in reality I'm just improvising.

 

[PsychoSoldier]

Any other thoughts so far? Meager as they may be

 

[PsychoSoldier]

Well that was a quicker read than I thought

CWE seems a little more talkative than what's been normal as of late, which makes me kinda want to write him off early.

Similar feels on Blind so far. Also the "just read my role card" thing, joke or not, seems like something maybe he wouldn't do as scum.

Tildey's enthusiasm gives me good feels, but possibly being a multi-team game and not having seen her scum side means I'll be keeping a close look there

 

[PsychoSoldier]

I also liked this post from Dreyski. Feels like the wheels are turning already.

 

[PsychoSoldier]

Particularly since early Dreyski can easily look active by talking about setup stuff. Going right into player reads feels good

 

[PsychoSoldier]

Vote: Listo95

Awfully quiet so far

 

[PsychoSoldier]

Also, I know we're probably just gonna go to sleep and I'm technically doing the opposite, but we could make more use out of this day by consolidating some wagons

 

[PsychoSoldier]

That said, not really feeling a wagon on Badger, and Caito just came back.

 

[CWE]

Look at Psycho just confirming my read on him...

[3puppies]

I can’t speak on most of these reality shows yer all talking about, but I sometimes wonder whether 3puppies got featured/shortlisted for extreme couponers or whatever it was called.

I was invited to be on it, but they would not promise me that they wouldn't focus more on the donations, and instead they want to feature the transactions at the stores. If they would have shown me donating a couple thousand cans of soup to the food pantry, I would have considered it. But that alone took ten transactions of a couple hundred cans each, at 4 stores, over two days, and that would have required a longer time for the film crew, etc. There was a reason that show was on right after hoarders, because they want to laugh at the mental illness of an addictive personality, instead of celebrating the positive that can be done with focusing energy toward helping those less fortunate. For example, they showed a woman who was proud she had kept 400 bottles of pepsi soda pop. I knew what deal that was, and I had gotten 560 bottles of it, but I donated it well before it would expire. Maybe she donated most of hers as well, but the show was edited to portray her as a nutcase.

And yes, Claws, filming would have taken time away from my couponing.

I normally don't comment during games on individual posts, but this post is great and I legitimately did not expect they would have reached out to you. I love everything about this.

Harry...you're an idiot...

But in the books, as I recall, Harry has always been an idiot. He may have a good heart, but he's never read anything and always manages to get himself and his friends in trouble. He got special perks because he was a jock, or because he was famous, and he never really worked at his lessons, or at improving his magic. Snape had him figured out.

Mr. Xanjori - you are late... of course I knew you would be. Did you bring your teacup, no, no, you didn't - you may borrow this one for the day. Don't worry about the mess when you drop it later either. Now pour yourself some tea and tell me what portents you see.

So yeah people already pointed out the whole town and scum thing and what not.

As far as figuring out who is who without claiming that is good old fashioned detective work. I am sure Tildey will share her spreadsheet template with you once she is done and basically you can use it like a logic puzzle to narrow things done from the write ups. You also have to rely on your reads of people and their posts because most of the mods around here do things to limit spreadsheeters from figuring it all out from their spreadsheet.

Honestly you didn't miss a ton. Day one tends to be a ton of shit posting but you may be able to still get some reads from it. Maybe not. And remember to vote Future or I guess Caito if you go by CWE and Tildey but I am pushing Future.

 

[Xanjori]

Its good there is some real discussion day 1, but I never know what to contribute or an easy way to gain reads on people. Personally I prefer to see posting across a day or two to establish a pattern, so consider this day a starting block for my reads but I cant really offer much on the day itself. Except for voting for people.
