"Lawyer Fucked Me" A Shawshank Redemption Mafia Game Presented By Barry (Game Thread)

To be fair... that is pretty much just how Troop is. Not to say that proves anything, just wanted to point that out.

You're not supposed to edit your posts btw

Yea, Barry just told me as well. I didn't see a rule about it and didn't think about it, before I already did it.

 

[Sky]

Initially I saw Brett's "Try-hard-post" just as getting into the game during the starting fluff fun period... but thinking about it a bit more, I think, while it is a bit dangerous to do, it could be a neat little scum move.

Bit of spit-balling here...

I mean since the game only started and everyone was still just shit-posting, that post could be seen as the first serious attempt to get the investigations started. Brett gets some opinions out into the wild and could at a later point claim that he was the person, who got the ball rolling, if suspicious eyes are looking at him.

Being uncomfortable fluffing and itching to start serious phase is not usually a town tell tho

 

[Loochblade]

Fair enough

 

[Sky]

Vote Brett

Going to park here for a bit, interested to see what you do when pushed

Eh, I always allow edits as long as it’s within 5 minutes. Don’t really see the harm

It’s only really cheating if you go back and edit later to make it look like someone is lying or if you wanna lie yourself or whatever

A hard no editing rule also means you could post in the thread instead of the scum chat etc and then not be able to edit it which I think we can all agree is lame and not how anybody wants a game to go

Well that’s not true at all lol, not like it’s a hard rule but the people that want to get into the game early are usually town. Scum literally love fluff phase starts as it’s the easiest way to settle into the game by far

 

[Poyser]

In Brett’s particular case, it just seemed a bit unnatural which is why I wanted to get some insight into how he usually plays

Not what I've found, simply because scum fluffing is inherently more unnatural than town fluffing

Ew. Scummy

Are you just making this stuff up

 

[Comrade Khan]

I gotta wait for my lord and savior Jean Francois to come thru to start picking through some stuff before I start feeling confident on some reads.

Why do you need my help to form reads? You started making them on your own last game . Yes we won together but this I'm not a fan of the flattery regarding reads .

Also why would you yourself have reads when you were fluffing with the others? *Squints *

Reading back. My daily affirmation is grounding me well. But I would say there is some 'potential' scum posting already after just seven pages. I also think everyone has posted now, so there is no one hiding in the dark? Apart from potentially Wang? Will grab a cup of coffee and then post a wall of some early thoughts.

But while we're here.

Troop:
Has apologized for a few jokes so far. It's super early in the game, so it very well could be him just playing things careful to not piss anyone off as town. But also gives some scum energy as far as like oh no I want to play with the town folk, but not too much where I start getting eyes on me. Playing that sort of middle of the fence kind of vibe

Booty:
Really nothing too different than the start of his first game. He was town that game, too early to just cross that off for that reason, but something to be mindful of.

Smark:
Super excited and giddy to be here. I was first reading it as a potential like excited cuz he's scum kind of energy, but I think Smark is smart enough to know that if he grabbed scum as a role to not be like super over-the-top with shit. That's why to me I'm reading it very much so as town and just excitement to play the game.

Sky and Avie:
One message that was vague and mysterious, I'd consider it to be null though, obv late for Sky and Avie I don't know well enough as far as judging off activity goes.

Juice:
Interesting to state the claim of not playing, feels like covering a bit of his own ass. But I am coming into this game with the mentality of whatever read I have on Juice I am going with the complete opposite.

Null for everyone else because inactivity, but just based on math, one of the inactive peeps are scum. Will be interesting to see how they play as they come in.

Oh ok and then you do have reads.

This type of posts isn't exact un-brett like but this seems like maybe overly trying to compensate ?

I was scum with Brett and I'm gonna go back a d look . But his tell for me between scum and town game is like most people he struggles to generate his own thoughts and pushes and often resorted to dropping in fluffy comments, nudging and then forcing himself to do fake reads. As town he was recklessly questioning anything he didn't like. Same sillyness but much more focused. I think it's maybe too early to tell but this reads list could be a "I drew scum and I'm trying to adjust by appearing busy " thing. Hm.

If everyone has posted, obviously scum has posted. What are you on about lol
