The Tribunal of Judgment is from A World Apart, it was three civvies with BTSC plus a lynch switch and pardon. Seems pro-town imo

Sounds good. Why didn't you mention this when you voted?

I didn't feel like it

S~V~S wrote: ↑Fri Dec 07, 2018 3:04 pm The one I understand least, can't even guess on is, "Hit the Major Third". Any guesses or past game knowledge on that?

I think it's a music theory reference but idk how that translates to this game

Wait a minute, I remember a game where I was part of a 3 civ group with BTSC that was a LC/BR game - was that World Apart? I can't remember mafia games years after I've played them at all. Anyway, I agree this sounds like a pro-town option so that's where I'm voting.

That was one of the Recruitment games. You me and Epig had civilian btsc and it was awesome, though we lost

DharmaHelper wrote: ↑Sat Dec 08, 2018 2:40 pm Anyway I've ranked the people who have currently voted from most to least suspicious as of me typing this post without being linkied into any other votes:

Cbob - "His posting" is a funny but ultimately hollow and wormy way to explain the Colin vote
Colin - "No U" vote was cheeky but still bad.
Chuck - Did not give a reason for his DDL vote which IIRC came close to if not directly after Epi said he'd be voting DDL. Chuck pulling up to the train station early AF to save himself a seat.
Sloonei - Voting for anyone based on other people's reasons for suspecting people is suspicious to me. Make your own points. Stand on your own ground.
TH - Early vote for Sorsha for a hollow, funny reason. Doesn't look serious. Sorsha's not done anything overtly suspicious. Could be buddying/distancing but not worth losing my shit over instantly.
Epi - His DDL vote makes sense, he gave a good reason and was consistent.

I read this the first time but it's not exactly meaty by your standards. Why requote it?

I want to watch Dougall wash Sloon's feet #truthmeta

TH, what does this mean?

Like in Economics when he posted in all pictures. He's a goofy poster. He's more measured here so far.

G-Man took a strong stance on the tie issue but that's a general sort of thing... no details on any actual players

To be fair to G-Man, it's still Day 1 and I try not to hold anyone to their past meta. But he got into it with DH over the tie thing, and I wonder if that's a bone he wanted to pick, or simply a bone he thought he could pick to look involved (which he sort of copped to himself).

idk how I feel about Sloondog suspecting Luna for essentially having the same suspicion as him but with less waffling. I think a baddie would at least be cognizant of how hypocritical that looks.

But self-aware-ness is a staple of the mafia playbook.
I guess this is the other main comment I was referring to, and it also weirdly insinuates sloonei is bad in a removed sort of way.

Good catch, he's being kinda nudgy nudgy

As civ,mafia,both?

Both but more recently as a civ.

Sloonei boi is town, he had a real life excuse for not being active yet he has a buttload of posts

[mention]Quin[/mention] My point to Epi was that he argued Sloon's use of "genuine" was unnecessary from a civilian standpoint, I was trying to gague whether or not he felt similarly about Luna's "valid". I wasn't agreeing with Epi either way, although i could have worded it better I was disagreeing with his conclusion, and wondering if the fact that Luna had said something similar influenced his read on sloonei. He stated that it did not.

Posting a lot as Mafia on day 1 of a huge game where there are two teams meaning that he can genuinely scum hunt doesn't make him a masochistic moron, it makes him someone trying to win the game as Mafia.

Fair but nah

It's the guy with 200 posts versus the guy with 2

Do you think I could fake this level of effort while also dealing with finals? If so then you really need to stop putting me on such a pedestal. Or you're bad.
Do you not make an effort when you are bad? TH keeps saying this too, that post count while under irl stress = civvie. That is just not true. Lotsa posts when busy =/= civvie. No.

Here's two Sloonei games where he was busy IRL and kept a fairly low profile, and was bad. Much much quieter in U-Pick. Not as quiet in Ancient Greece (he averaged ~70 posts per phase in a game where he lived to the end and won), but I remember finding the distribution of his posts in that game suspect and I called him out for it. He was less centric to the discussions in Ancient Greece, more fringe-y.

Maybe I've oversimplified the evidence, and correlation does not imply causation, but I've correctly read Sloonei in almost all the games we've played together recently, and his posting rate has factored into most of those reads.

Yeah content is important too. I'm not very good at explaining why I toneread someone as good or bad, so sometimes I point to other factors like post count or whatever

I totally get this sentiment, I have this issue, too, but if you factor in content in this case, do you feel the same? He really seemed to be flailing around and in some cases saying things just to say them. I have been instrumental in a Sloonei mislynch (when I was a civ) so I don't trust my gut read as much on him.

If it was someone of whom you don't feel as confident of your read, would you feel the same?

I like scatterbrained Sloon. It's like sifting for gold, you end up with a lot of dirt but that's how you get the nuggets.

S~V~S wrote: ↑Mon Dec 10, 2018 12:33 pmAlso, I trust your judgment in general (not sure about here yet); you were around for EOD, yes? What is your take on what happened?

EoD was a glorious shitshow. We had a lot of people active but not much of a consensus. I think a Wilgy vote felt like a cop-out to some, and opinions on Sloonei were divided. wolbre came in and made a few jokes and suddenly that took off. Posting was so congested that I haven't fully processed how it all shook out.
