Re: Tree Mafia [DAY 1]

Peek on Diiny was red. EZ$$ What's your game, Wilgy? Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na WILGY!!!! (is most definitely a doctor) and we should kill the confirmed scum. Your confirmed scum is not scum, but I'm going to wait and see how you play this. These reminded me a bit of my own response to being red-checked in the Mafia Championship Game (correctly). I essentially said "you didn't red check me, I don't know why you would make this claim as town or mafia"...

Re: Tree Mafia [DAY 1]

Look at me, I'm a lurker! What a wild new world! Anyway, pre-game peeks are randomized and always on townies. Unless MM adapted some new variety of peek which can be chosen for this game, Wilgy is lying about his red peek. I am reading the thread to indicate however that his false red might have been correctly placed, because I have been pretty underwhelmed with the way Diiny has handled it. He's been tame -- patience isn't necessarily a problem, but there's been no bite in his fight. No exasperation, no frustration, no emotion -- not what I would expect from any townie being called a red peek before it's even possible to be a red peek. The fun thing is: DrWilgy's lie doesn't preclude him from being the cop. Or from being vanilla town. This is a setup that promotes controlled lying from townies and I am struggling to find a realistic mafia angle to explain what he's done. Well that's why he's doing it, JJJ! .

@Epignosis: I can understand why someone might perceive your move against Floyd to be one that promotes a policy lynch. Actually your stated reason for placing the vote is rather policy-oriented. Far too many times have I witnessed Mafia coast to endgame by staying out of it. If Floyd is Mafia, then I have no intention of letting him coast. If he's a civilian, then he's not contributing and wins if he's dead anyway (from what I understand). The highlighted portion is the definition of a lurker policy lynch. Your vote is motivated by his inactivity -- his chronic inactivity (suggests to me that your perspective extends beyond the boundaries of this game, if that's untrue then say so). Inactive players can be anything and lynching them is by nature a roll of the dice. For this reason, a vote for anyone who has actually done something suspicious, however one might define that -- think in Zebra's mindset here, would be a better vote.

Perhaps an important tidbit for those attempting to understand Wilgy MD: mafia private communication is only permitted during the night phase, meaning there has been none of it yet. If he's a bad guy who is just goofing around to see what he can get away with, he is doing so without giving his team mates any prior warning.

Instead FZ is doing what FZ is doing. Which is lolular. Noted.

I don't think you have the content at your disposal to make a confident read on Floyd, and that means you're intention is to punish him for chronic inactivity instead of his actually being suspicious -- the result of that lynch is left to chance just like a randomized vote because there could be no conviction (as far as I can see) for either a mafia or town read on Floyd at the time of your vote...

Re: Tree Mafia [DAY 1]

I'm torn on Diiny. I've stated my misgivings. Here are my misgivings about my misgivings : 1.) DrWilgy asserts Diiny did not entertain the possibility that he is town despite his lie -- I disagree. I think Diiny's initial reaction could easily be described as exactly that. Maybe he's making a move here, obviously he's lying but I don't want to interfere with his maneuver immediately in case he has something up his sleeve. That is entertainment of a town angle. 2.) Diiny's responses to Wilgy changed with the passing of time. DrWilgy thinks this is unlikely town behavior, and again I am not sure I agree. It does fall in line with the prior point -- if some part of Diiny thought Wilgy might be employing a gambit that didn't necessarily have to end in a bandwagon on him, then his initial reaction could viably be to stand back and let it develop. But when that doesn't change after a day -- Doc is still making the false claim of a red peek and still endorsing a lynch, Diiny's patience would have to wear thin and so would his ability to have any trust in the guy who is screaming at the thread to slaughter him. I think there's a town angle for Diiny here. I'm not sure he handled this perfectly, but I also wonder how any of us would have handled the same scenario had Doc red peeked us instead. Doc, how do you think you'd have responded if I had opened this game with an immediate red peek on you...

Re: Tree Mafia [DAY 1]

Wilgy, I think that's a shit ass way to get to the end of the day. If you're not lying now, you should have ended up this fiasco way sooner. I think it twisted things, but hopefully, something good will come out of it eventually. I didn't think Diiny is bad before you came along with your gambit, and it coloured everything for me, so I'm taking my vote off. If it comes down to me against him in terms of votes, I'll put it on him again, but if not, I won't be voting him. The way he's handled everything today makes me feel good about him, and you were the real reason I voted for him. Now, looking back at everything that has transpired, the person that worries me the most is Epi. At the risk of alienating the only person that seems to defend me this game, there was something about his defence that felt like he knew defending me might come handy later on, while not really getting involved in the Diiny lynch either way. I also think the Floyd lynch is too easy, but I was too engrossed in the Diiny debacle to pursue another line. So for now, I'm moving my vote to Epi. While I haven't voted for you, I have placed you low in my rainbow so I'll try to explain my gut. I want you to have the chance to influence my read of you in direct dialogue. I think this post displays pretty clearly the concern I have with you -- that you've seen any glimmer of town in Diiny's behavior but were still willing to join his bandwagon based on a very dubious claim of a red peek by DrWilgy. This seemed opportunistic to me, almost transparently so I admit, and I struggled to reconcile it with a town mindset. Could you try to describe why you felt there was any chance of honesty in Doc's conduct...

Reads like you didn't know where to sit and now have a theory involving them both being scum. I want to hear YOUR opinion on Diiny. For the record, I've always been perfectly okay with a Diiny lynch. Wilgy did look more dangerous for a bit, but really, as long as we get a bad guy today there's no rush. Lynching DrWilgy is taking too big a risk atm when we know so little about what he's trying to do. I think Diiny is scum. I think DrWilgy most likely is but until Diiny is gone, we don't want to lynch him. :ponder: The highlighted bits seem a bit inflated to me -- as in they assign importance and seriousness to something that I don't think needs to be viewed that way. Why is lynching DrWilgy a "big risk" by comparison to lynching the guy he claimed to red peek when most of us thought it was a lie anyway? Moreover, Enrique has been entertaining the notion that Doc and Diiny are both Mafia, which makes me wonder what he thinks Diiny's lynch would reveal about Doc that he hasn't already implied. If Diiny flips town, his suspicion of Doc can persist for obvious reasons (he lied about a red peek and pushed hard for an errant lynch). If Diiny flips mafia, then his suspicion of Doc can still persist based on his own exploration of the bussing possibility. So I'm not sure this post aligns nicely with Enrique's own stated mindset...

Re: Tree Mafia [DAY 1]

Arbitrary theory: the people who were the quickest to verbalize the assumption that Doc's red peek was a lie are more likely to be mafia than the ones who reacted slower. The former is representative of people who have a vested interest in determining who the cop is if anyone, and without any means of privately communicating with team mates the only thing mafia members can do to speculate about the cop hunt is literally do it publicly. The ones who waited a bit longer would have been the ones giving Doc the space to employ his maneuver without interference -- this implies those people must see at least some town potential in the obvious false peek. This does not account for the players who didn't think it was a lie though. motel room and FZ would seem to fall in this category...

Re: Tree Mafia [DAY 1]

Can I say that I'm now really not a fan of the fake peeks strategy? I think all it's doing it diverting conversation and attention from genuine feelings. We could just as well decide that every day, each of us names a person they trust. If the cop dies, we know who he trusted without him outing himself during the game. And we don't have to suffer the pain of your silly fake peeks. By the way, wouldn't it be in the mafia's best interest to keep the cop alive as long as the other townies don't know he's the cop? That way, the civvies can't narrow things down... It is never in the mafia's best interest to keep the cop alive. In the base champs setup (9 vanilla town, 1 cop, 3 mafia), the lifespan of the cop is often the deciding factor in who wins the game. Eliminating him is priority number one for any mafia team with experience in this setup because too many peeks from him/her can literally preclude them from winning mathematically. I can understand the peeks being annoying, but I encourage you to give it a chance. My initial reaction was negative too, but I've seen how these games can be blown wide open with the objective evidence they produce. It isn't a perfect method, but it's proven and I support it...

Re: Tree Mafia [DAY 1]

I see what you're saying, but why is it better than just giving one name you trust? If I understood correctly, the idea of the fake peeks was to throw off the mafia while allowing the cop to leave his crumbs. Is that not right? It's a means of expressing trust for another player. That trust might be born of a typical read, or it might be born of an actual peek. It's imperative that the cop's peeks be plainly known to everyone in the event of his/her demise to prevent errant lynches on people who've been ID'd town. It's also imperative that the cop be able to leave that information in the thread without self-exposure. Seriously, give me a hand here. :eek...

Re: Tree Mafia [DAY 1]

There's been a lot of talk about Floyd's relative inactivity. I think we should acknowledge his more recent substantive post . I do appreciate that Floyd seems to have enough conviction to state clear stances on players, even if he is seconding the stances offered by someone else before him. I think he looks comfortable in this post, and that's not something I would have said about his content in Talking Heads. It's a small point, but I'll take anything I can get mang...
