What was the hole in the claim?nutella wrote: Part of me wants to follow Epi's request in case LC is in fact bad (and it would be nice if Epi actually does choose to side with town), but I'm too hesitant to rescind my town read of LC based on that. If Epi only thinks LC is bad because he caught the hole in the claim, that's bullshit, anyone as observant as LC could figure it out. Unless I missed something. I can be pretty dense with the complicated stuff. Maybe Epi can point me to why he thinks LC is bad?

If you're Geth, that's one thing. If you're the Illusive Man or the Thorian or Aria or Soverign, that's something entirely different. It's important to figure out which we're dealing with, here.
You know this, though. Sometimes, I feel like you dismissing legitimate lines of thinking as stupid because it would be easier for you if those lines of thinking were dismissed. Weakens your arguments, imo.

You will become non-hostile to the side you choose...you still will be hostile to the alignments you don't choose. The underlined portion is saying that your existence won't determine the winner based on numbers. Basically you win with them but you don't have any affect on their win condition.

You mean like this?DrWilgy wrote:There being role claiming and info dumping allowed means USE that mechanic to the best of it's ability.
I am not James Vega. I lied.
I am the fucking Terminator.
I am Zodac, the Cosmic Enforcer.
I am the God of Cylons.
I have no allegiance to anybody...yet.
Tuck and roll bitches? Please. I am metal. I don't tuck or roll.
I am here to judge. And dissipate.
There was no second kill Night 1. So you say. I don't agree. It's likely I was the target and dissipated it. Ironically, instead of being worshiped like the mechanical god I am, people voted for me.
I like that.
Can you imagine why?
James Vega does not exist, for he is not in the database. I falsely claimed to be him, knowing that if someone tried to kill me, that team would know I was lying about "tuck and roll."
That says non-lethal. I should be dead if a team tried to take me out.Tuck and roll - You will be immune to all non-lethal night actions this night.
But I'm not dead.
What a shame. You know what else is a shame?
Humans.
Humans exhibit qualities of anger and revenge. It's sad really, but I am using that to my advantage: If anyone from the team that tried to kill me knew I was lying, they probably suspected I was on the other team. They may have believed I am Soverign or the Illusive Man, for instance, who survives the first kill against him.
To put it in the simplest terms:
If someone tried to kill me, that team knows I lied when I said "Tuck and roll bitches." They know my "claim" was fake. Votes against me then, are attempts to gain credibility by lynching mafia, but I'm not mafia.
Long Con's reaction to my initial Vega claim (and being nervous ) makes me most suspicious of him. He didn't vote for me until after I claimed (I didn't claim ). He wants to lynch me so he can get credit for lynching mafia...only I'm not mafia.
I'm machine.
Tuck and roll bitches.
My initial plan was to withhold all this until exactly one hour before the end of the Day. Instead I think it's best that I'm giving the civilians a chance to actually do something right. If you don't, oh well, but it doesn't concern me. I don't care if I get lynched, because if I do, I can be aligned with the Reapers and that fucks you out of a lynch against them, thereby improving my own chance to win. I'm telling you this now so that you, Alliance people, get your heads out of your asses and make me want to align with you. The downside is that I probably kept one of you alive last Night by absorbing the Night kill target and now I cannot repeat the procedure because I will not be targeted. Oh well. I don't like the bad logic I've seen today. Do better.
Right now my projections currently predict the civilians getting positively hosed.
You have the opportunity to change that.
The question is

First, I'm surprised LC suggested that. In my opinion, throwing a teammate under the bus in a two-mafia setup has a negative expected value. I don't practice that.
Second, people somehow think I'm some eager, crafty bus guy, when in reality, in all the Mafia games I have played as evil, I have intentionally thrown a teammate under the bus one time, and it was only out of the novelty of having never done it before. In Turf Wars I had to keep reminding my team that their job was to get civilians lynched, not each other.

Re: Mass Effect Mafia (Day 2)
Of my three voters, I regard fishfunk to be the most sincere and civilian. I'm giving him shit and he's giving it right back. I respect that. I think he's doing what he thinks is right (even if I don't agree with his methodology), but I value the effort and it looks genuine to me. I regarded him a civilian Day 1, and that hasn't changed here in Day 2.
Adam has a sense of equanimity about him that I ordinarily associate with mafia, but outside of that, I am not suspicious of him at this time.
CaptainNifty strikes me as the most disingenuous of my three voters. He hopped on board and went out of his way to remind me people were putting pressure on me (like I'm new at this or something and don't get what's going on), but he stated it in the form of a threat. "Maybe you need more votes to get you talking." That's a subtle invitation for people to park there votes on me and potentially leave them there (I've seen it happen many times). He called something I said "ridiculously weak," but what I said wasn't an argument. It was a fact, one LC basically confirmed, not an argument. Rather than investigate to see if what I said about myself was true, Nifty dismissed it.
Addendum: I see people are moving their votes, but I'm commenting anyway.

1. No.
2. None, apparently, because you and your gang want to lynch me anyway. That's fine.
3. It amuses me. If you find it inherently suspicious, oh well. I don't think claiming at all is useful in this setup except to help the killers make more strategic kills.
4. I don't have a "playstyle." I do as I please.
I never claimed anything.Long Con wrote:Epi getting nervous and roleclaiming is not something I'd expect him to do as a Civ on his lonesome.

I have no intention to vote to save myself if it comes to that. If you want my lynch, you will have it, and you will have to deal with two poor lynches in a row.
You know what else is cute? That some think you can figure out who is bad by getting people to claim. That isn't going to work. Know how come?
There are eleven civilians. There are twenty-three civilian roles listed. There are six mafia and two independents.
Twenty-three minus eleven leaves twelve. That's twelve roles to spare, and I bet you they're not sitting there just for show. So if your game plan is to make people claim and then see who counterclaims, you're doing it wrong. There won't be any counterclaiming.
If you hinted at it, and some people get it, why not just claim? Hint claims are terrible. Scum tends to get hint claims because they have more people between them. Even if two of four do not get it, the other two do. Whereas if a townie doesn't get it, the townie doesn't get it. By aggregate, town hint claims help the mafia rather than the town.
Furthermore, mafia hint claims allow flexibility. You can always just say you were hinting something else or that you didn't get your point across or whatever. The flexibility also helps scum.

So when I get lynched, and you learn that you didn't block a killer, do me the favor of doing some deeper thinking than what you're doing right now.
I would start with the people who missed the vote.

Re: Mass Effect Mafia (Day 2)
There were eight mafia divided into two teams. Nineteen people missed the Day 1 vote. Eight people failed to send in a kill Night 1.gfishfunk wrote:My guess: Epignosis was just diligent enough to find the post, just lazy enough not to do the analysis, and just cokcy enough to refer to a game that at least half the players had not played and present it like damning evidence?Epignosis wrote:Romance of the Three Kingdoms Day 1:

What happened there?Epignosis wrote:Day 2: The Farmers of Hsiaop’ei are Troubled雞和山羊The death of Ahuinan, Meng Huo’s third ravine chief of Nanzhong, resulted in a series of misfortune for the farmers of Hsiaop’ei, because it was reported that Ahuinan was cut down in the vicinity of Hsiaop’ei. The misfortune happened all in one night. A band of distraught farmers sought the advice of one of the elders in that region, a learned man who had fathered seven sons and outlived all of them.
The first farmer approached holding a dead rooster. “Armed men came and slaughtered our chickens. They left behind feathers that do not belong to any of our animals.”
A second man came forward and produced the head of a goat. “Armed men came and slaughtered our goats. They left behind yellow cloth, which we do not wear.”
“This is a good omen,” observed the sage.
“How can you say this a good omen?” asked one of the men of Hsiaop’ei.
“Consider that both the barbarians of the south and the mystical rebels have visited your people in the span of the same night, and all of them are accounted for.”
No one has been killed. It is now Day 2. You have 48 hours and two votes each to decide who will be in the second duel.
Just a hunch though. I have enough on my plate reading through this game without having to read through a dozen others or so. Make a point. Or don't.
Eight damn people.
Y'all go on and marinate on that for a minute.

Re: Mass Effect Mafia (Day 2)
You demonstrated my point. It's not just you: Half the field wouldn't know about me or my tendencies. No way in hell I'm carrying out the kill if I'm bad.gfishfunk wrote:Not having played with you, I wouldn't know. At the same time, that is a great way to justify giving you the kill as a member of a mafia team: if everyone assumes you wouldn't be given the kill, give him the kill.Epignosis wrote:Here's something to chew on:
If I am bad and on a team, I'm usually not going to be the one carrying out the kill. Can you guess why?
But y'all go ahead with yay role blocks if you want to. Civilians are fucked if that's the operating procedure.

Re: Mass Effect Mafia (Day 2)
Worried? Not at all, but I will lose my shit if I'm lynched because someone role blocked me and the kill was missed.Long Con wrote:Falling from the second storey maybe? Getting thrown from a horse? Or that you'll be lynched over this roleblock thingy?Epignosis wrote:About?Long Con wrote:You worried?Epignosis wrote:Tuck and roll bitches.
That's elementary-level analysis. In a set-up that involves a dead protector, a living blocker, and a killer, and that's it, okay fine. You got me. Them's the breaks.
In this? Not straightforward at all. I don't fault fish for realizing he has a clue, but I do think it's lazy if he lynches me. I didn't try to kill anybody, so fish's block is irrelevant, and was sadly wasted.
For those who experienced it, does RotTK N1 mean anything?

You were posting actively up through the end of the phase so I targeted you. Its circumstantial -- like all other evidence in mafia. I blocked you, we are missing a kill. Is that really your response? Deflect and insult the person that revealed information and is trying to provoke discussion?

So you immediately rely on circumstantial evidence. When a third of the population missed the vote.gfishfunk wrote:This is standard practice at the realms: expecting two kills and one doesn't go through? Especially if the doctor is known to be dead? You immediately go to the blocked targets.S~V~S wrote:Quite the leap there. Alenko, Legion, either could have been at play, not to mention all the roles with once or twice powers.gfishfunk wrote:Right now, my topic scum pick is Epignosis for a simple reason.
Epi was pinging some of the syndicate and did not vote. I targeted Epi with a role block. Only one kill occurred last night, and there should have been two (see the roles in he beginning). With no doctor and no bodyguard, the lack of a kill is indicative of a role block.
That's even if the second killer or any of those roles are in the game.
It is just as possible that the killer did not send his/her PM if in the game. And Wrex is the actual bodyguard. Bob's role was a non lethal protection role.
It is certainly possible, but it is one possibility amongst many.
Its cool if you don't jump to that same conclusion, but the outright dismissal of playstyles is frankly getting old.
Forgive me if I too do not think highly of your "playstyle."

So as long as one doesn't vote, they can't be scum, right?
My point was that I voted. Your fishy friend is unobservant. He implied he blocked me because I didn't vote. I did vote. That means he isn't paying attention.
What does a gfunkfish not paying attention mean?
