NOC Popcorn Mafia 3 Game Thread

[Wayan Vistar]

doing this is how i get locktowned every game btw so i think its quite helpful to do as town for other players to observe

I mean I thought of doing it but then realized I was wasting 40 minutes of my life with how much of that shit was filler. Like... is this what the revival era is? Yeesh

Speaking of though I'm running an ISO on AG now since he's top wagon and is in the unique position of having both a town popcorn game and a scum one to compare with

 

[Celever]

I no longer agree with this if you'd been reading. at the time these 3 were fluffing and wanted them to knock it off. pulsar hasn't stopped but cele and LS have gotten better

to be fair had you not pressured me i'd probably be less productive in thread currently so i have to thank you for getting me going too

TBF I think LS was a primary contributor by the time I started caring about the game a little bit so I feel like she was doing fine regardless but eh whatever. Similarly you had 0 impact on the posts I made in this game your pressure meant nothing to me lol

 

[Celever]

do you think hes mafia?

I think he dies early so my opinion doesn’t matter enough for me to try and think on it. Thread dynamics say probably not, AG is somewhat immune to that type of read historically, he’s having bad takes which are honestly more common for him when he is scum, but he’s also had less takes in general. The above saying he’s played Popcorn twice before isn’t good for him cos it makes the “don’t shoot inactives” take significantly worse tho imo

I expected Tex to only shitpost

I'm reading him not for his takes but because his posts look performative

 

[Texas Cloverleaf]

Ag scum
Clouds scum
Flynn town
Celever town
Oden town
Dusk can go either way
LS lean town
Skipper town
Whydon idk just shoot


Hm I thought I had more scum notes than this

For me I struggle to discriminate his town and scum town besides the one game I locked him as scum because he was giving off extreme himbo vibes lol. His tone changes just enough every game regardless of faction that it’s hard to find consistency there, and he has seemed performative as town too

 

[Texas Cloverleaf]

Re: whydon I've played like fifteen games with them and they have literally never made a post that has been alignment indicative to me

 

[Texas Cloverleaf]

Including the thirtyish this game

 

[Texas Cloverleaf]

Clouds is heavily based on a SvS interaction read near game start their other posts can break both ways

 

[Texas Cloverleaf]

texas ill comment in a minute but im gonna let you finish

Go nuts

 

[Psypsypsypsypsythe]

okay nevermind your read changed

 

[Texas Cloverleaf]

okay nevermind your read changed

oden?

 

[Psypsypsypsypsythe]

yeah. his behavior this game is kinda nai

 

[Ehmcee]

tbh, I'm kinda starting to like Democracy voting because it actually makes wagonomics in a setup that isn't supposed to have any :P

 

[Texas Cloverleaf]

hm good to know i was liking his other posts

Man formerly known as Flyhn and is stuck with that name on forums sates his ISO addiction Part 1

Cycle 1 AG ISO
#34 - Shoot Zippy for asking for gun
#40 - Agree with Clouds that pulsar feels off
#41 - Reinforces 34
#48 - Agrees with me not to heroshoot, going to deadline is smart
#50 - Backs down slightly from "shoot immediately"
#56 - Article banter, "I always roll scum"
#67 - Psy posting style comment, asks him to ask questions since he's IC
#91 - Repeating #67 basically
#94 - More gunbearer banter -3-
#284 - Correcting Psy on amount of scum. Say who we're shooting tossed as a strategy. Dusk good, look into Celever
#289 - "Misread Celever stuff" in response to LS saying voting's basically the same as his proposed strategy last post
#370 - Catches up, joins Dusk wagon
#381 - "This" a clarification about the vote
#530 - Reads! Celever towny, Ehmcee pocketing gun is excuseable, LS/pulsar feels T/T, Dusk scummy, everyone else filler filler filler
#607- Agrees with Psy "threadstate sucks"
#625 - Idlers probably town
#646 - "Not myself" in response to Psy's "throwing because scumroll again?"
#653 - Justifies #625 when Celever disagrees, points out recent game with lots of town modkills
#658 - Hard to care with all the filler
#660 - Wants a Dusk shot, doesn't want idlers shot, shoot people who want gun
#689 - Doubtful there's a mix of active/inactive scum
#692- "At least not signifigant" to above
And... that's it

....wow okay this doesn't feel like any AG I've seen and significantly worse.

Only going to compare to his Cycle 1 in the previous games so I don't go insane and I'm not going to notetake since... posting an ISO from a completely different game is excessive even for my analytical-block-loving ass.

AG read a lot better in BOTH previous games to the point where this comparison isn't helping me get a read on him NEARLY as well as I'd hoped going in. Game 1 as scum he basically pushed HARD to get a miss-shot on Haruno for.... being early Haruno. And in the second game as town he was.. a lot less tunnel-visioned and posted more.

Since I've been working at this for a while and mulling it over, and don't wanna keep y'all waiting any longer, (and have a postcount requirement to meet with overnight work and Big Brother also on my plate hhh), I'll leave this here and look at some revival games of AG's as well to see if the comparison to those helps me solve this better.

 

[pulsar512b]

granted I dont know shit on pulsar but their slot is just sort of bad. they admitted to fluffing constantly and won't stop.

not wrong

 

[Wayan Vistar]

Okay yeah, looking over his two recent games this seems more tonally reminiscent of Joat (scum AG) than VnV (town AG). A lot more... quippy is how I'd describe it

Vote Aura Guardian for now, tommy's getting the next ISO since he's the second highest wagon and I can meta him with another popcorn game as well

 

[Wayan Vistar]

..i already regret this decision it's three times as long and I have work tonight O_O

 

[Thunder~BALLZ]

im bored

 

[master oden]

im bored

entertain me

 

[Wayan Vistar]

....none of y'all like my pretty ISO blocks? Or have any thoughts?

this is a good recap, it doesnt do much else other than that though(at least for me) but the fact you're willing to sink your teeth in for a valid reason to vote this is a good note.
