Ice Cream Mafia 2 - Night 3 (9/14)

Call it paranoia but I could still see a powerwolf from Litten here, especially with the coordinated vote switch near EoD even if they’re more likely town than not at this point. Aleph also approached the slot in a confusing way but is definitely not paired with Litten. Willing to treat spookycat as town for now

Wdym by kindness for granted

As for the CW, not sure I like how oddly static Chomps felt at EoD and I would like an explanation. Garfooled alsp had this weird posturing around their eventual non-vote of Skrimiche but they were the first voter on the wagon so I’m not sure how much they expected it to take off

I wasn’t expecting much, I was convinced Skrim was being offed either way

  • I was back reading for a minute and when I came back EoD already happened

Are we reading the same game? My wagon was completely static at two voters. I think they thought they had a better chance of self-preservation on Brad, who also wasn’t at EoD to defend themselves

Skrim’s behavior reminds me of an Avalon game I was spy in and someone had caught me, I then talked about how I liked their thought process etc

I think Skrim/Litten are unpaired for this reason, Skrim was treating Litten like royalty
Feels pockety

For what it’s worth, and this is for everyone, I am being completely serious when I say this, despite playing regularly, I have not voted a single partner once in four years, the only exception being a turbo where the partner was mechanically outted. This, includes pressure votes. Every single wolf game, I approach it the exact same way - burn down the town as fast as possible. I have also not lost a wolf game during these four years. Town is usually not prepared for a wolf team to try to blitz them.

This isn’t to say I wouldn’t vote a partner. I would absolutely do so if it was the most optimal path forward. But during that four year period, I haven’t seen a single game that has forced me to reconsider this strategy. I can show receipts of games and what people talk about me, but most people here in this game can confirm what I’m saying is true. It’s weird, I’m very polarized as a wolf because my approach is to power wolf so hard that I town read my partners and exclusively push town, that it helps my town game because it forms an effective shield and helps my wolf game because I burn down the village as fast as possible, that even if they execute me, town is filled with power bottoms because all their strong players were killed by the time they take me down.

Summary



I’ll reread the context later and get back to this.

crazy

im flipping my read list upside down and playing from there when I come back again

I had a pleasant conversation with Skrim and I thought he was town. I was wrong.

I had a pleasant conversation with Kelsier and I had been thinking he was town. I am currently reconsidering my townread.

VOTE: Kelsier

Yo can I know why u switched

What’s your thought process
How have your reads progressed

Ori very much had a high chance of dying at this point. Wagons were 2-2-2 and people were jumping. With so many votes, anything was possible

I agree that it likely makes BradLand town. I don’t think they vote their mafia partner, making it top wagon, if they were in that position as a wolf, it makes far more sense to try to…justify voting Kel, which…they never actually voted Kel

Yeah, I think you’re biased, no one else was entertaining a vote on me. It’d’ve been very easy for Skrimiche to realize that no one else was going to follow him

It could have easily happened, all it takes was for one additional person to do it. I’m not saying that it condemns you but if you are mafia voting your mafia partner in such a Voltaire thread environment is suboptimal

I think you’re projecting your read on me onto everyone else. If someone else (who showed up anyway) was interested in my wagon it would have happened, but eh

Well I had Leafia as my top scumread, and then she hammered the final nail in Skrim’s coffin, and then she got killed.

Suffice to say that I lost a good chunk o’ faith in my reads, but I will pretend everything is fine because ultimately we managed to vote out a Mafia. (Well. I say “we”, but really I didn’t take any part in it.)

NGL, I kinda want to be just a sheep at this point.
