The last sentence. How is it "not a good look" if he is just using it informally?

People are using the word "literally" to mean the exact opposite of what it means when we have plenty of other words in our vocabulary to serve as an intensifier. "Fucking" works well, I think.

And that's why it's a bad look. When people tell me their heads literally exploded, I look at them badly.

I don't give a shit about your fucking outdated prescriptivism. There's no reason G-man would have for that being a bad look (except that he was just making up an opinion to fish for reactions).

Then you're all about presceiptivism and determinism as well, is my point.

But I don't want to upset all this mafia hunting we've got going on here, so I'm going to give it arrest.

I can say arrest because it means what I want it to mean.

I dont feel like there is much to go on for elo votes she barely said anything or is that really the argument against her is that she didnt say anything?
Spirit is like super angry for some reason and was a little confusing at times. Is it common to vote non/host as a placeholder? I've seen self voting for that purpose before idk.
Epi focused a lot on that literal argument which seems like it really doesnt have anything to do with the game. Could be a distraction away from any discussion or accusation in his direction.
Others like sloonei and gman seem to be trying to throw things out there to get a discussion going. Though gman made sure to begin the game by stating he is the most vanilla of civs

Reywas is literally all memes and not much actual posting of anything so that doesnt look great. It's like participating without really saying anything? Unless there is some weird inside joke about kanye that I'm not aware of to explain this?

So early in the game hard to decide where to go. I am going to a hockey game tonight so I may not be around a lot for end of day discussion but I'll try to check in if I can. I'm inclined to vote epi or reways at the moment. I'm thinking reways because at least epi is talking even if it was a lot of random things about the language people use. Sorry for the hugely long post just trying to fit all my thoughts into one.

its funny how immediately after you make a post about me already deciding to push your hang tomorrow, you come back with this
a post that could pivot shit onto me

Yeah I'm really clever huh.

Here's the thing and you can take it to the bank: I don't omgus. Ever. If I find something suspicious I say as much. I don't suspect people for suspecting me. That's bullshit.

where did i say that shit?
thats shade, simple as, and convenient as fuck too

that isnt omgus, thats desperation to not get lynched when the time comes

Well I do tend to try desperately not to get lynched.

dont be desperate
if you are calm youd come across 100% townier
but you arent

so maybe this is something you can change in a future game
no matter your alignment

Lmao as you have never played with me you don't appreciate how funny this is. Anyone else on this site knows that if I am calm it is a bad sign.

The appeal is drawn from that inaccuracy: even when something is not a literal truth, proclaiming that it is a literal truth anyway adds emphasis and levity.

....have you thought about this for more than thirty seconds?? of course we take that into account. in fact "so-and-so is looking a bit too much like their usual town self" is a fairly common accusation. imitation of town meta as scum is rarely perfect and a good synthesis of meta and other information can help one sniff it out.

yes ive had a year to think about it because i was brought this argument when i first started

the bolded sentence is a shitty accusation and im disappointed in anyone who uses it

Well it's caught many a scum so suit yourself.

Epignosis wrote: ↑Sun Jan 13, 2019 7:17 pm Dear G-Man:

G-Man- I do not suspect this person. If I had to name one person as a civilian, it's G-Man, because his thought process jives mostly with mine and he's doing the most work (although the bar hasn't been set real high). Would not lynch.

JJJ- I maintain a healthy suspicion of JJJ, as most of the time lynching him requires an act of God. I read his commentary on WaywardSon. It makes sense to me, but I had differing assumptions when I read WaywardSon's posts. I'll get to those at the end since Wayward starts with a W. For right now, I don't have any pressing reason to lynch JJJ unless I am right about Sloonei. Would not lynch.

MafiaMenace- I do not suspect this person. I give passes to new people Day 1 (and rey, who has returned from the dead, resurrected as an "artist" of questionable skill). MafiaMenace has earned an extension of that pass, because I like his stuff. He started out slow, but I can see a progression of thinking that feels natural and indicates sincerity. Would not lynch.

nutella- nutella gives me fits. I never get her right, so take whatever I have to say about her with a grain of salt (or the whole Morton company). I don't agree with G-Man that nutella fell into some trap of over-eagerness. nutella may be a Gullible-Ass Basic BitchTM, but I'm not buying that. Would not lynch.

reywaS- He is God's vessel. His greatest pain in life is that he will never be able to see himself perform live. Would lynch.

Sloonei- I suspect this person the most. Here is why if you missed it. Would lynch.

Spacedaisy- I've got nothing. Would lynch.

sprityo- The guy has 18 posts, and I do not see where this happened. Would lynch.

WaywardSon- As I said, the way JJJ framed WaywardSon's posts makes sense, but I had differing assumptions when I read them. For example:

WaywardSon wrote: ↑Sat Jan 12, 2019 12:16 pm So the thread isn't locked at night?

I would have thought, were WaywardSon annoyed by Night posting (because he was bad), he would have voiced his question to Colin privately, and not broadcasted it in the thread. I get that doesn't preclude his being mafia, but that was my own view. However, I have not forgotten this:

Not necessarily. I'd think I'm a bad lynch if I was a neutral observer, and angling for a tie is a bad strategy 99 times out of 100. Why on earth would any civilian want to strip themselves of the chance to determine the outcome of a lynch?

And I could vote for nutella, but I am an invested participant of this game and I think she's a bad lynch. I'm voting for Epignosis.
