    Things That Are on Your Mind

    LA itself is a lot less nice than a lot of the surrounding cities (and the public transit system is awful). Glad you found fun stuff to do in Santa Monica and Long Beach. The Joshua Tree and the Grand Canyon are both nice national parks too, sounds like a good trip.

    What are some of the weirdest/least common things you've ever eaten

    I've had chicken feet, which really just tasted like chicken wings but more annoying to eat. I've also had rattlesnake and rabbit sausage, which was tasty. My brother made a gooseberry pie last year, which was pretty interesting. They taste kind of like lemony grapes.

    How often do you try something new at a restaurant?

    I like variety, so I'm a fan of trying new things so long as they sound good. I will sometimes settle on getting the same thing or handful of things at certain restaurants, but I do like to branch out more often than not when there are interesting options available.

    Do You Play or Collect Any TCGs?

    I don't play it actively these days but I've played Magic: the Gathering since like 2001. I don't really actively play Pokemon or Yu-Gi-Oh but I have my old cards for both. I was into Star Wars Destiny briefly. I've got some pre-built Flesh and Blood decks but I haven't tried the game yet...

    Binge or one at a time??

    I usually prefer to binge, but I am fond of mostly binging something with a plot and then saving the final episode or two to watch weekly so you can speculate with others before it's released and watch the finale right when it comes out.

    Which Side Do You Sleep On?

    I used to switch between left and right side pretty freely but I read that the left side is better for acid reflux so I almost always sleep on my left side now.

    Best Girl Scout Cookies?

    Thin Mints and Tagalongs are probably my top 2.

    Wired or Bluetooth?

    I prefer wired generally because I don't have to worry about batteries and connection issues, but if I'm moving around listening to something or want to control a computer from the couch, wireless peripherals are nice.

    Hot or Cold Showers?

    Hot showers are more comfortable and maybe better for cleaning you afaik. Not sure why I'd torture myself with a cold one.

    Assuming OG is town: If both Mint and HHH are scum, you should just hammer me or him and be done with it. This doesn't really make sense at this point so I've now learned that you two aren't both scum unless you just happen to like playing with your food. Otherwise, if one of you is town and...

    If you want a reason to vote for OG, he was defended heavily by Jamie, was hesitant to vote Jamie, took the hammer off Jamie, and got caught in a lie about his role. All of this looks worse than me and my one poor wording choice considering that I provided both a red check and generated a green...

    I know that it's true now, and I would have known it was true then if your assertions were true. In the context, I was defending how what happened wouldn't make sense given what I would have known. They made a lot of posts and seemed to generally agree with my perspective and they gave me a...

    Because I know in the present that it's factual and I would know in the past that it were factual if I were scum. It's not a slip. I didn't suspect Jamie until I got a red result on him. I was pocketed. If he modified vote strength I'm not really sure how that would change my play here. If...

    I was expecting one or more of DW/HHH to flip red and the final slot could realistically be any of the remaining players depending on who we lynched and what abilities they flipped. You are my lowest priority lynch but I've still got some suspicion of you until we get a GF flip or we see DW's...

    My guess is that neither me nor OG is scum but the possibility of winning if he's not is close to zero with him voting for me and leaving until the deadline.

    Game Thread [GAME THREAD] JOAT (Jack of All Trades) Mafia - ENDGAME - MAFIA WINS

    If he's voting for me my only hope is that he's scum and there aren't two other scum who can hammer me. It was not a slip, I was talking in hypotheticals and continued to do so in that post. My attention is divided because I'm having an early birthday dinner tonight.

    In your scenario I would know. That's not a slip, I'm talking in your hypothetical. I targeted both DW and Mint because they were my top scum reads early on. I did not expect a green check, but in your scenario I should have.

    I knew that results had been shuffled the night before and that I would get a green check from hitting my target. The characterization that my play is anti-town in any way operates under the assumption that OG is scum, which is a conclusion I'm not comfortable making currently at this time. I'm...

    Game Thread [GAME THREAD] JOAT (Jack of All Trades) Mafia - ENDGAME - MAFIA WINS

    A team of myself and DW could explain a faked check on Mint but it would mean we teamed up to clear a townie and for me to protect a second town player in a way that makes myself look bad for little and kill our own teammate. I can't really see a good reason why I'd be scum and do anything that...

    Game Thread [GAME THREAD] JOAT (Jack of All Trades) Mafia - ENDGAME - MAFIA WINS

    Mint's green check is only predicated on DW having been honest about my result. There's nothing stopping my initial theory of a Mint/DW scum team. Otherwise, Mint is only scum if Mint is a godfather. OG only performed a kill last night if they are a ninja. HHH either redirected DW's kill or...

    I don't think I would fake a red check on a fellow scummate unless we agreed they'd probably die regardless. I do think it would be pretty odd for a game to only have a single town aligned cop shot in it, though design solving this game is probably a losing proposition. Me giving a correct red...

    If Mint is town, you're probably town because that would be a weird thing to talk about in scum chat. If Mint were scum, they probably wouldn't try to clear you by lying about what they heard if you were town.

    It would be unlikely they'd discuss it if he were scum.

    Game Thread [GAME THREAD] JOAT (Jack of All Trades) Mafia - ENDGAME - MAFIA WINS

    So this ties HHH's alignment to yours, possibly, since if your action is truthful it's pretty unlikely that scum would discuss killing him in their chat (unless they had warning that their chats might be listened in on eventually from the mod, which I don't think is standard).

    If I had a dollar for every time mafia tried to use the "why would I claim something suspicious if I were scum?" defense, I'd be a rich man. Lying about your role is dangerous if a rolecop can catch you so scum often is better off being as honest as they can about their role because getting...

    I copped Mint, my results went missing, and I got someone else's results for Jamie that came up mafia. I have refrained from voting because I didn't want to end the day early with a hammer and because I want people to make their decisions with as much information as possible.

    It's a viable strategy, but the fact that town might have a vig or a protection role that can go through makes me generally favor lynching in this kind of situation (this is likely "mylo" [meaning if we mislynch town today we lose]. As opposed to "lylo" [meaning we need to lynch scum today or we...

    Mint could be a godfather in theory with the passive slot, but I would bet against it pretty heavily atm. I have very little doubt that Rag is town based on her engagement and content this game.
