Are you asking because you aren’t following what I’m saying or just because picking a fight is interesting?

Which read do you think I mean?

MP said this about dunya and I find this interesting since it is virtually identical to the objection I just felt in my conversation with dunya.

So, the question is... to those that know dunya, is this our lack of knowledge of her? Dunya's questions *feel* hollow to me, is this me trying to project dunya onto sloonei or something?

Sloonei, actually, it's possible you are best placed to answer this. Interested in Choutas' view too.

do you see me saying i think you think mp is bad or good?

Interesting - I think we meant two different things here.

I meant that I had a solid townread when you were going at me as though I was painting him bad.
I think you meant you'd legitimately not made a read on him.

Vote him and see if we can summon him from his casket.

Have the wooden stake ready

That’s the sound of my finger on his fishbowl. Do tricks, fish.

[VOTE: Scotty] aubergine

Good trick.

Serious question though, what do you think of scotty's response to Colin earlier this page?

The real question you should be asking is: what does Epi think about anything this game thus far?

In 500 words or fewer please explain your answer. Guiding questions might be: "Why did sig vote for Dom?" "Why did sig stop voting for Dom?" "Why did sig personally attack Dom, repeatedly?" "What did sig hope to accomplish by the post Dom has bemoaned?"


Thank you for your time.

This is where I write my name on my test, calmly take out a pack of gum, look around absently to the other students in class, clear my throat, pop some gum in, stare at nothing on my desk and then methodically get up with blank test in hand, place it on the teacher’s desk, quietly exclaim that I had a great semester and about face to go decompress into a box of fries

v funny
but like
pls substantiate ur claim for me?

I can’t really defend sig. he’s talking in his own language. I’m choosing to ignore the subject matter of your clash because I believe that what you both are perceiving as personal attacks is just miscommunication. He doesn’t agree with the dunya thing and thinks you brought it up when you don’t believe it to be true.

dog is also defending Epi right now to a large extent and if they are teammates then that’s bogus.

Scotty wrote: ↑Tue Apr 24, 2018 3:27 pm Why is it so hard to lynch Epi in general? His reputation precedes him and he tends to have people touring his perceived meta as a civ. I’m scrapping pretenses and I don’t find his input today civ-leaning. It’s sporatic, like my girlfriend digging through a new bag of Trail Mix for the M&M’s and leaving me the nut crap

Scotty wrote: ↑Tue Apr 24, 2018 3:52 pm In dunya’s defense, she probably made as many reads as she could on the surface level before departing for places unknown (Paris?)

Yeah honestly I'd rather give her the BOTD and find a better suspect for today. I want to catch up and talk with her in real time. We'll see.

What are your thoughts, Scotty? Where would you recommend I consider voting?

Wherever you want dude, it’s a free market.

Check out lunalee and tell me if you’re seeing what I see. Her iso ain’t long.

Epi and to an extent, LC, are the ones that were continuing to push the dunya Dom scumslip. I don’t think Epi looks town right now.

Firstly, I will say that in hindsight I felt that there were no truly compelling cases made during day 1 that I was a part to, or saw in the content after I went to sleep. I sympathise with any fellow civilians genuinely trying to find bad guys on day 1. The Persians are a wily force it would appear.

Towards the end of day there was no consensus. Had I appeared soon before the lynch I would have felt that the options available had boiled down to:

a) Follow your intuition and vote off wagon and try to get people to rally to that vote. I would have tried to CFD Sloonei, or Marmot had I had enough time and depending on whether one or both would have been an inspiring enough option to rally forces.
b) Vote on a wagon built on weak cases. Had this been the case I would have felt compelled to push for Nova, given the four options. With the reason that sig, Dunya and Epi would be greater civilian casualties in their own right (sorry Nova). By traditional TS group analysis (skittles), I would have had Epi, Dunya and Nova as yellow skittles and sig as green.
c) Throw away my vote. No, this wasn't an option. I saw that someone did this and was called out on it and I think that is a very apt call out. Was it Golden calling out Scotty? If so, I would encourage you to follow that hunch Golden because I agree that it is a bizarre thing to have done.

I would have, with ample time, voted for Sloonei and tried to push the lynch there (I will address why, in time). Relatively early on in my catch up I became less enamoured with my Nova vote, by comparison to what I have observed about several other players in the meantime. At no time did I feel like I would have been moved to vote for Dunya, Epignosis or Sig.

That sig, of the combatants at play, ended up lynched intrigues me, particularly given I had felt that his pre-lynch play was the more civilian aligned of those who were at risk of being lynched. This raises the possibility that there was some Persian influence causing one or more of the other primary candidates to not take votes. This in particular gives me pause about Nova, because it is more natural for Dunya and Epignosis to have had meta based defenses made in their name (I did this myself during day 1). That sig ended up lynched over Nova is, to me, the most interesting piece of information to have come out of that lynch. That sig, with all of his bluster and his emotion, managed to become a preferred lynch candidate to Nova, who is generally less of a participant. I will also note that Nova became vociferous compared to his usual self towards the end of day is also of note, but in isolation I did like the tone of his posts.

I have noted in Epignosis, a tendency to seemingly throw away day 1 to the gods of chaos. I have thoughts on why he may have started doing this in his games, and consider it part of his game strategy as town. I would not have voted for him.

My thoughts on Dunya were shared already and amounted to wanting to give her more time, and that in time she would either feel compelled to come into significant combat with her scum teammates, or as a civilian with her rhythm found, begin to solve the game. I am happy that she was not lynched.

I understand why Nova was not lynched out of context, given the case on Nova amounted to nothing but a ping and one or two players agreeing with me, but in the context of how the lynch came out, that Nova did not get lynched over sig is interesting, as stated.

I saw no indication of Mafia sig at play in this game. He was aggressively trying to solve the game as much as anyone. This was a bizarre mislynch because of this. Particularly interesting because sig is a known easy day 1 mislynch, and yet here it happened again. This gives me pause to consider that it was actually done by design from a force of players.

All told, after having made this post I feel better about day 1 because I think that despite the fact that we lost arguably the most important town force, it was a very good day 1 for post content and if some good civilians can muster up the desire to, I think there is likely to be ample information contained within the day 1 content to find some leads.

Now, on to business.
