Re: Monkey Island [DAY 3]

I think my friend nijuukyugou has gone overlooked. Time to change that.

Ten posts, and five are banter. So that's five posts to consider:
Spoiler: show
nijuukyugou wrote:Okay. Feeling much better this morning, but with much limited time (as in less time), seeing as I'm at work and should be grading a stack of papers :P
MovingPictures07 wrote:Who wants a rainbow? I'll work on one now.
:suspish: You didn't even wait.

Quick and dirty thoughts before I really, really need to get work done:

1) A beautifully quiet day 1, with pretty easy-to-catch-up pages to read.
2) A floofy, fluffy day 1 that makes it hard to get reads, but that's like saying there's smoke all over Asheville - I can mention it all I want, but I still get to deal with what I've got *coughity cough*
3) Nacho reminds me of Sloonei - lots of talk, not afraid to go after people, jumping right in, lots of talk, lots of talk. Oh yeah, kinda like MP :P
4) I don't want to vote for people contributing to the suspicion talk of the game so far today, because I complain (even if only to myself) that people get voted on Days 1 for voicing weird opinions more often than someone lurking and being cautious and not posting much (if anything) of substance. Does that make sense? Anyway, I'm starting the trend with my Days 1 votes, even if I'm the only one following the trend.
5) Who falls into that second category for me today that I notice (or rather, had to look back because I didn't notice many posts)? zebra, Eloh, motel room, Epi, Wilgy, and Vomps. Runner up includes DFaraday, because he did post about mechanics in his second post.
6) I rather liked Soneji's point about, whether or not Wilgy is fucking with us with the not checking his role (I assume the former), it does imply creating chaos which, while fun, is not particularly civ behavior. So now, so I can get back to work like a good employee, I'm voting Wilgy.
Golden wrote:Hey Mac - thoughts on the ninja?
Beautiful tentacles, that one ;) Did you vote me because you wanted to see substance from me, or because the tentacles creep you out?
1. Is happy for a quiet Day 1.
2. Admits it makes it hard to formulate opinions on people.
3. Names two people who are big talkers (despite calling Day 1 quiet)- Nacho and MP.
4. Laments innocent people getting lynched Day 1 for having a contrarian perspective while quiet people coast.
5. Names six coasters (casting a wide net).
6. Likes what Soneji had to say about Wilgy, and voted Wilgy.

nijuukyugou wrote:Woo, caught up! That was quite an emotional thread period :puppy:

Probably gonna rehash a lot of what was said, but that's the bane of my gameplay in catch-up/mega posts. I deals with it. This is gonna be a stream-of-consciousness one, because.

Frustrated MP could be either MP. I'm inclined to see it as bad because I was on a team with him when he faked it and I hate being bamboozled, but I know he is an emotional player of any alignment. And he has been lynched early lately because of it (at least what I have noticed) being in any alignment, which is hella frustrating, I know. Today, I will be looking elsewhere. Why? It's Day 2 and I'm still in Day 1 mode of this sort of thought process:
Epignosis wrote:Time to cull the less actives. Image
Because lately, I also feel like less actives have been ignored, and I want to change that still. I have been less active lately and have been rewarded for it, yet when I am more active, I have been killed. Boo to that. Encourages non-participation and riding on one's laurels *steps off soapbox*

Your turn.
I'll bite - any other reason you voted her besides inactivity? Or are you cherry-picking and waiting for reactions? I like it.

Zebra can talk! Now what does she have to say? Right now, the long-lasting smiley thing doesn't make her look good to me. Gets her out of discussion while also giving off a vibe of, "Hey, I can't possibly be bad if I do something craaaaaaazy!" Looks contrived. Want to see more content.

What happened to Wilgy? Might vote him again. But minds can be changed.

Was Nacho silenced? Hmm.
Long Con wrote:On the other hand, rainbow lists can paint a target on the heads of those who are deemed most Civ.
This is why I hate rainbow lists. On the other hand, I do use them to determine someone's alignment based on how they rate me. Self-centered, perhaps, but it's been working decently well. Mostly hate for rainbows, though.

I think that's all I have for now. Happy to address whatever, or discuss whatever. I feel like a normal human again, both in workload and health :beer:

I haven't caught up, and still won't until I've finished all my preparations for Parks and Recreation Mafia hosting. Sorry. I should be around at some point today though and I'll be ISOing you folks. So be prepared. :slick:
So a page full of MP posts. So, normal mafia.
1. Thinks MP is bad but would prefer to look elsewhere. What's the purpose there? If you think someone is bad, you press that person until he confesses, What you don't do is say, "MP is likely going to murder me in my sleep. I better let him go about his business."
2. Again laments about active people getting taken out instead of inactive people.
3. This: "I'll bite - any other reason you voted her besides inactivity? Or are you cherry-picking and waiting for reactions? I like it." How am I supposed to answer that? If I am doing something to get reactions, it is completely counterproductive to say, "Yes, I am just trying to get reactions."
4. Calls zebra's smiley business contrived.
5. Might vote Wilgy again. Couple 4 and 5 and what you have are two non-Black Rock avenues for nijuukyugou to vote. She ultimately chooses Door #4.
6. Asks if Nacho was silenced.
7. Hates rainbow lists.
8. Comments on MP's verbosity.

Blooper, can you elaborate on this bolded/underlined bit?
There is a pattern I've noticed about how I am rated by certain players on rainbow lists. I shall elaborate no further for fear of giving away my super secret awesome baddie senses :shifty:

MovingPictures07 wrote:This game is like a patient in the ICU. Where is everyone? Where is the baddie hunting?

Seriously folks, why should I even try if the rest of you aren't going to do shit? Honest question because I'm feeling a bit frustrated with this entire day cycle's wasted potential right now.
It's the middle of the day for many of us, dude. You know this. I'm only on because it happens to be a day where my planning is in the afternoon. And it'll be a holiday soon. And it's Day 2. Cool your jets :P

As for your sig review, what pings me more than anything about what he's been saying is his being so resolute that an entire mafia team couldn't have missed its kill last Night. This sort of thing has been happening in several games lately on this site. It would be one thing to offer his counter arguments, but to so staunchly oppose it as a non-possibility? Nah. Looks defensive. Pings real bad.

I still want to knock off inactives/slight inactives. There is no reason except inactivity to vote BR, so that's cool with me. I want to know where Wilgy went. You say zebra has played a detached and gut-read game in the past, but what she's doing right now is just detached without even gut reads. It's just...randomness. Chaotic. It's the same reason I voted Wilgy Day 1 - zebra's behavior is not civ, whatever she's doing.

So I'm good with voting any of those (includes sig, but less so than the inactives), and I need to get back to work. I'm going to mull over it a bit (maybe ten minutes or so) before I make the final call.
1. Reminds Mr. Talkative that it's the middle of the workday.
2. Agrees with MP's negative opinion about sig. Killing MP might accomplish two tasks: Shut MP up and frame sig.
3. I need to highlight this:

Again, this leaves open a number of avenues for nijuukyugou to vote in case the Black Rock vote picked up steam. Notice again the claimed desire to knock off inactives and slight inactives, but the hesitance regarding a vote for Black Rock.

Look, I know right now is the middle of the day, I'm referring to all of Day 2. There has been next to no discussion of anyone other than inactives for the past nearly 48 hours, and that's what bothered me, not just the lack of current content. Anyway, I was just venting. Feel free to ignore that nonsense. :p

Help me out here; you lost me a bit with your thoughts on sig. Why is it that his staunch opposition pings you? Like, walk me through the mindset of why a mafia sig would do that, that's where I'm lost.

She provided gut reads in saying BR and Epi are town and Snow Dog is bad, for example, but yes, they're completely unsubstantiated. The only problem with just lynching everyone who behaves in such a way (your bolded/underlined sentiment) is that just because someone is behaving chaotically does not mean their role card is mafia. It is up to us to make a determination based on the available content. I don't think lynching inactives blindly right now will serve us anything particularly productive; if we happen to hit a member of the mafia, great, but it's essentially flipping a coin.
True about a chaotic player not necessarily pulling a mafia role, but their behavior doesn't help civs. A lynch vote for zebra would not be a blind vote for an inactive - it would be voting for someone who I think is exhibiting non-civ (and I'll just outright say it - mafia-or-indy-chaotic) behavior.

What I'm saying about sig's opposition to the idea is that it sounds defensive of inactive mafia behavior, i.e., steering people away from discussing inactivity as more than a possibility for an entire mafia team because he doesn't want us to look at them. As in, perhaps he is part of an inactive mafia team, and is defending it because oh shit, they all missed their kill chance last night, better cover it up. That's what it looks like when the behavior of late on the site points to the opposite of his stance.

And I think the discussion of inactives needs to happen - personally, I'm tired of seeing it ignored and seeing active players lynched so early and then having a dead game, so I'm happy we're going on that vein this game. Hell, it's encouraging ME to post! (Well, that and I also have more time recently to play than I have in the past couple of games.) Lynch inactives, encourage participation through group force :P

With that, I'll vote zebra today, even if it's for pressure. Gotta finish grading these quizzes, dammit.
1. MP voiced concern about "blindly" voting for inactives, and nijuu counters by saying that a vote for zebra is not a blind vote for an inactive, but a vote for someone exhibiting non-civilian behavior. So I want to circle back to the first on-topic post: nijuukyugou lamented inactives coasting but people who do things outside of the box being fair game. Isn't that what zebra was doing? I would think my friend nijuu would have been more eager to lynch someone with two posts than someone who was just being goofy.
2. Says sig looks like part of an inactive mafia team, which concedes the point that one of the mafia teams is inactive...yet she still votes for zebra, who was at least present.
3. Raises the banner of lynching inactives...
4. Votes zebra, who was zany, not inactive. And zebra had more on-topic things to say than Black Rock.

I'm of the opinion that a civilian is more likely to do that than Mafia, who generally like to try to remain consistent. If Boomslang wanted to really drive the lynch away from Black Rock, he should have made a stronger case against Quin, but he didn't do that.

So I'm less inclined to think Boomslang is a pirate.

Woo GG Epi!
I must say that I am not surprised she flipped bad, but I also would not have voted her if zebra had had a train of her own going when I voted. I still think zebra is fishy as fuck, but now that BR has flipped bad, I'm in the mind that her teammates are probably also the ones on my list:
-Boom
-Soneji
One of Nacho, Mac, Motel room 2.0, ninja and DF

And that's just for the pirate team.

The cannibals will be trickier to catch- they probably killed Golden, and are probably active.

My current fear is that Epi is a cannibal and has been ringleadering as a supatown so that we'll give him Cred. I might just be paranoid tho.

MP- if I'm alive tomorrow, I think I'll have some time before my show to properly answer your sig case. Until then, I gotta go run errands.
My issue with Soneji is that he looks salty that I led the masses against Black Rock for what some perceived to be asinine and unlikely reasons. Mafia hate it when they are caught for "the wrong reasons." And for that reason, if Soneji is bad, I'd say he's a pirate.

But that's an if.

Nacho gave a quick and believable reason for not remembering DF being dead. If Nacho were a regular here, I wouldn't buy it, but Nacho is not a regular here. My opinion on Nacho fluctuates.

Speaking of Nacho, I need to revisit the crux of Nacho's post against Boomslang, since I apparently missed the point.
Scotty wrote:Nijuu, I wanna hear more from you. You're still on my watch list of pirate compatibilities with Soneji, Boom, Nacho and Mac.

Hey @Epi!! What do you think of the notion that other BR teammates are on my shortlist? You sorta dropped that after gunning for BR. I would think you would be excited of the prospects of nailing another.

(Unpopular opinion..): Unless your teammate BR just wanted to be thrown under the bus and you're ready to move on. It would explain how out of the multiple inactives I mentioned, you chose BR. It just seems like you either learned something via night you can't disclose in thread or you yourself are her teammate. Just so you know not every player thinks you are supertown for sniping her :grin:
For now, I do like the hunting you're doing, and I'm not looking to vote you at the present, I'm just paranoid
Despite the fact that except for one time I don't go out of my way to run over my teammates (not nearly as often as people claim or imagine, anyway), there are some people I wouldn't do that to, and Black Rock is one of them.

Not quite. A random vote, you see, invites a higher level of chance into your decision. Mafia requires you to discern who is good and who is bad, so an optimal vote involves critical thinking and observation.

Re: Monkey Island [DAY 3]

At this moment, I am uninterested in a lynch of zebra, Snow Dog or Soneji.

Or Vompatti. I'll throw him in there too.

The reasoning used to vote for any of these people is terrible.

That isn't to say I think they are good- I'm only saying damn people. Do better. Like me. :grin:

Made, as far as I know, holds the distinction of being the only black player The Syndicate has ever known, and he was the first one I ever saw use that gif before. His birthday was the other day. Dude was funny as hell and fun to play Mafia with.

Black Rock has two posts. That's it. If she's good, she isn't doing anything to find Mafia. If she's bad, bingo.

Couple that with the knowledge that lots of people missed Night 1 and only one person died, and again BINGO.

Stop being cute.
Ok I'll bite.
    • break;
vote(blackRock);
MM and BR have a history of killing each other, if I'm not mistaken. A teammate MM jumping behind me on an absentee BR lynch would get him in early on the BR lynch while also being sort of poetic. That's nothing MM can defend against, I don't think, but I felt it worthy of mention.

Ironically (in this scenario), one of MM's first orders of business was to joke about me throwing Black Rock under the bus.

MP, I only skimmed your sig case but don't feel like I can make a qualified switch to sig. if he lasts after today, then I'll put into words as best I can what I think is civ about him. I'm as yet undecided there so I think I may have to vote for one of the inactives. Black rock isn't my first choice- that would maybe be boom, believe it or not. Or zebra. But.

Gotta go

Black rock
Scotty voted Black Rock saying he would rather be lynching Boomslang or zebra. What is funny here is that right after Scotty voted Black Rock (before presumably getting thrown up on by another rider), three individuals jumped on zebra. Had the timing been different, Scotty might have gotten his zebra lynch. Scotty did in fact vote for zebra Day 1, and did so when there was nearly zero chance of zebra being lynched, so Scotty abandoning that vote for Black Rock doesn't make much sense if zebra or Boomslang were truly his primary suspects.

DrWilgy could have tied up the vote, but that would have been risky doings. Besides, saving an absentee teammate might not have been worth the risk. I note that Wilgy missed the Day 1 vote, so no comparison can be made.

Boomslang voted Wilgy on his own when BR already had four votes, so he truly didn't oppose a Black Rock lynch. He didn't try to save her but he didn't try to lynch her either. None of that really means anything to me.

The role post says the civvies only need Lechuck, Bob, and the Cannibals dead to win. Does that mean the game will end if the other two baddies are still alive?

Also, the civvies need the cannibals dead, but the cannibals can win even if Herman Toothrot and Head of the Navigator are alive. Does this mean that the game will end if any cannibals are alive and only Herman and Head are remaining for the civvies?
I think that's a remnant from an earlier draft of the game. The civvies need the pirates and cannibals dead to win. If only Herman, the Head, and the Cannibals are left alive, the game will end and the cannibals will win.

Re: Monkey Island [DAY 3]

Essentially, it's one down, five to go. The Men of Low Moral Fibre and the Pirate Leaders aren't required to be dead, according to the win condition. The cannibals aren't really independent, despite the label- they function exactly as a second mafia.

The ideal lynch for Day 3 would be LeChuck, because there is a chance that would remove one of the two kills from play. Unfortunately, Black Rock gave us little to work with.

I'm posting the votes here for myself.

On what basis do you believe both kills were submitted?

It is rather rare for kills not to be submitted isn't it? It also requires very little effort to submit a kill. If only one player could do it I might be able to see that argument, however it is very unlikely a whole team was so inactive that they didn't send in a kill.

Okay Quin I was wondering if you had any other reasoning

The question of how many constitutes "lots" may have no answer. However:

Fact: An hour before the Night ended, the host says he is still missing lots of actions.

Fact: One person got killed when there should have been two.

Fact: Two of those three protective roles are Night actions, which places them within the realm of unsent actions.

Fact: The phase ended at an earlier time than most phases end on this site.

Fact: I have witnessed eight people on two different teams all fail to submit a Night 1 kill.
Fact: Black Rock had two posts.

Fact: Black Rock was Bob.

Fact: LeChuck is the pirate who kills Nightly.

Fact: The Cannibals kill Nightly (i.e., the kill isn't attributed to one particular cannibal).

If LeChuck is responsible for sending in the kill (llama's answer on the matter was deliberately vague), then I'm inclined to believe that the Cannibals killed Golden and LeChuck is somebody who missed out Night 1 but got back on the ball Night 2.
You could be right, you could be wrong.
If the pirates can submit a kill for the team (which seems likely to me when none of them seem to have public powers), then your theory weakens considerably.

I don't think that pursuing inactives is a bad idea in and of itself (in fact, it's a great idea!), but the lesson that you should be learning from the game where eight people failed to submit a nightkill is that believing in a theory that you don't know to be true with 100% conviction can hurt the town in the end.
This is Mafia. If I cared about 100% conviction, I would play something else.

That ridiculous analysis plus him going after an inactive at this point in the game is why I suspect Epignosis. The analysis seems more like a premeditated move than having an epiphany and pursuing it with fervor, by the way in which it was written and it being on a day one that was noticeably barebones in terms of reads. Even if his general findings were true and he did happen to notice this pattern specifically, hinging on it D1 is folly. Better to let MP continue what hes doing and get him with more concrete evidence later, then let him weasel out of your weak reasoning and straighten his act.

It is possible they are both scum, one pirate, one cannibal. MP's high volume of posts certainly lend itself towards a larger chance of slipping.
