Also, this was true! Based on the atmosphere in the spectator chat and thread, I really thought JJJ was going to be lynched. I was gone for a while though, and then I came to the thread and saw seaside had the most votes and was like "WTF"? :haha:
I considered my own place with the LC defense, and figured defending MacDougall was the same deal, so I backed off 3J.

Flash was unconventional, but Bullzeye and I had a good back and forth (I was "bad", but I don't consider Flash a true Mafia game).

Last Man Standing was another unconventional one (again, not a true Mafia game), but:

http://www.mafiathesyndicate.com/search ... 5&sr=posts

My point in all this is that Bullzeye seemed perfectly fine with MacDougall calling him bad.

That's unlike him if he's a civilian, from my experience.

JaggedJimmyJay wrote:Matt's trust in bcornett actually makes me think of something. This might have already been covered a time or five so sorry if it's old news but:

Brian was the counterwagon to LC on Day 2. LC voted for him in an 8-6 tally, meaning the real tally was 8-8 (barring other vote manipulation). LC can't bus his team mate in Brian in this scenario, because players would still be able to identify that the Flowers role was involved in getting him lynched.

Does this not clear bcornett, or come pretty close to that?
I feel this aspect is still open to interpretation, because:

a) LC's vote on b24 was his only lifeline left
b) except if Epig is bad, there was no genuine scumwagon on b24

If b) would be proven in any way thus far, then a) would sound like a logical move for LC to attempt, and b24 would be, as you say, closer to being cleared.
This is the hiccup for me: even if bcornett was the only viable counterwagon for LC, by placing his vote on bcornett LC placed him in real lynch territory. If Brian is mafia, then LC would have bussed his team mate and exposed his own role in that wagon -- potentially causing the loss of two mafia instead of just one.

If I'm LC in that situation and the only viable counterwagon is my team mate, I might strongly consider voting off-wagons and sacrificing myself.
Diiny wrote:Proposers of the cleared brian theory, pls respond to that: how would it have been obvious that it was flowers fuckery rather than anything else? Am I missing something?
The final tally was 8-6 LC over bcornett. LC's vote made it 8-8 -- enough for a coin flip. LC's role was the only role that had enough power to even the tally at that point in the game save for Drugs (couldn't have been Drugs or Brian would be dead). Unless I'm missing something.
That's not true though.

If bcornett got lynched, then ANY of his voters could be Flowers. You would not know it was LC.

What's better- potentially exposing yourself among a half a dozen people, or getting lynched and exposed?

Yeah, I know. I meant you were trolling me by agreeing with him. :p Unless you actually do....which would be weird, given my point that he didn't actually say anything to indicate a suspicion, and then waited 3.5 hours, 13 posts, and 1 case against Mac to saying anything further about him.

I said in my post at 8-ish pm that Tuesday that he, and I quote, "look[ed] really bad to me". Doesn't preclude me having other suspects as well. I would hope you have more than one suspect so far, and I certainly do. You sure as shit didn't convince me of anything regarding Macdougall, and you should stop parading that around like you're God's gift to civs. That's only in your head, where you ARE God. If anyone is spinning this, it's you, and you're doing it to get civ cred that you aren't due.

Stop saying things that aren't true and spinning the narrative. I'm the one who engaged MacDougall head to head. I'm the one he accused of being the serial killer. Day 6, you said this:

Others have pointed this out (Epi and Sorsha that I remember), but I think it was a good point: lynching a civ and getting lots of info is NOT preferable to lynching a baddie, even if you get little to no info. I know Macdougall clarified his thoughts after this, but it still sounds funny to me.

Lynching someone just for clues instead of lynching Mafia which would most likely skip the Night phase and thus prevent two kills?

MacAttack right off the bat. Good look, not just because it's anti-LC but because this is the kind of thing that helped to force LC to pretend it was ruse.

Here we have MacDougall and LC literally discussing the Nothing but Flowers role in the thread.

Mac brought the role up, and LC couldn't resist the urge to comment. Do I think two mafia team mates were chatting the day away about one of their own roles publicly in the thread? I absolutely don't. Towniest look of any analysis I've done so far, congratulations Mac.

Mac:
I don't like Mac going for seaside for the simple fact that he doesn't want him in the game. Seaside came in day one voicing suspicion of Mac so this just seems like a delayed no u/omgus. Long Con made a couple good points earlier about some things Mac said yesterday late in the lynch also. (If I wasn't on my phone I'd go back and get the quote) Mac was also on HBs rainbow list in yellow so I could see Mac trying to take him out before HB had more of a chance to look closer at him.
Straw:
Based on his posts from the night I believe he might also be trying to set seaside up for the HB kill.

Going to put my vote on Mac for the time being.
I don't want him in the game because he's either scum or because he's disruptive to the scum hunt. He's the best lynch candidate for the day. Explain to me how that's not valid?

His suspicion of me was nothing tbh. I barely even considered it at the time let alone now.

I don't think Long Con's points were good. Pretty sure you'll agree when you ACTUALLY READ THEM.

Also I have no idea what the fuck you mean by the last bit? Setting him up for the kill? He's going to get lynched, why would anyone bother doing that?

Lynching seaside is a no brainer at this point. Most votes, most people interracted with so it leaves the best crumbs. Most people seem to harbour some doubt about him.

What's your read of seaside?
Mac may have taken a long break, but he returned to Mafia in old form. :clap:

~~~

Mac looks like a townie and y'all should do what he says.
You asked for a second opinion. So here goes.

To your first spoiler tagged entry: Why did MacDougall choose to gun for that particular vote? There were a lot of shitty votes Day 1, as there always are, and Long Con struck me as genuine (and you have Black Rock here verifying that I usually view LC as bad, which is true). Why call him out on that?

I don't know why it never occurred to me before, but I want to go back to Breaking Bad Mafia on RM. Sorsha was bad with then, weren't your Sorsha? Aw, wait, you're dead because people don't listen to sense. :disappoint:

In that game, I was Gus Fring, and my vote was worth a shit ton. While that sort of thing sounds good, it's very hard to hide. I chose to be blatant about it, breaking ties and what not and rubbing it in people's faces. I lasted quite a while. :D

Long Con was in that game, and he hunted my role hard. It was an exhausting exercise, and I think it's one he didn't look forward to in particular.

Suppose then, that LC decides to have this fake case on a civilian to "test reactions" and get somebody else on his team to call him out on it. They duke it out in the thread, and the plan is to lynch LC, who, let's face it, would be caught eventually anyway (seriously folks, giving Mafia +vote roles only outs them in the long run- it's bad game design). LC gets lynched, and the one who called him out on his gambit gets credit for it.

With a team of seven, it's the kind of thing I'd go for.

The fact that you, 3J, were blind to this possibility concerns me.

MacDougall has gone from gung-ho against Mafia to wanting to lynch civilians to give us fucking breadcrumbs. Fuck breadcrumbs.

I also want to point out that, in the second spoiler tag, 3J highlights "I don't think Long Con's points were good. Pretty sure you'll agree when you ACTUALLY READ THEM" which directs attention from the rest of the post:

Sorsha wrote:Two players I'm considering voting for so far:
Mac:
I don't like Mac going for seaside for the simple fact that he doesn't want him in the game. Seaside came in day one voicing suspicion of Mac so this just seems like a delayed no u/omgus. Long Con made a couple good points earlier about some things Mac said yesterday late in the lynch also. (If I wasn't on my phone I'd go back and get the quote) Mac was also on HBs rainbow list in yellow so I could see Mac trying to take him out before HB had more of a chance to look closer at him.
Straw:
Based on his posts from the night I believe he might also be trying to set seaside up for the HB kill.

Going to put my vote on Mac for the time being.
I don't want him in the game because he's either scum or because he's disruptive to the scum hunt. He's the best lynch candidate for the day. Explain to me how that's not valid?

His suspicion of me was nothing tbh. I barely even considered it at the time let alone now.

I don't think Long Con's points were good. Pretty sure you'll agree when you ACTUALLY READ THEM.

Also I have no idea what the fuck you mean by the last bit? Setting him up for the kill? He's going to get lynched, why would anyone bother doing that?

Lynching seaside is a no brainer at this point. Most votes, most people interracted with so it leaves the best crumbs. Most people seem to harbour some doubt about him.

What's your read of seaside?
3J took this post, highlighted a side note about Long Con, when the overall conversation here was about seaside. Then 3J talked Mac up, saying, "Mac may have taken a long break, but he returned to Mafia in old form. :clap:"

Old form...over a defensive post? Is he usually defensive?

And what happened to lynching seaside for breadcrumbs?

Finally, on this point, tt's worth pointing out that Sorsha, a civilian, suspected Mac.

Mmm...breadcrumbs indeed.
JaggedJimmyJay wrote:LC responded to Mac's aggression with an OMGUS vote. It's possible that this was all a designed cooperative bus, but... I don't think it was.
Raise your hand if you think LC casts OMGUS votes on civilians.

Now raise your hand if you think LC knew what he was about when he did it.
I think this needed to be made obvious, because it's just false and it's confusing other people. (Matt F, for example, actually corrected Epi earlier, saying he wasn't the only one to post a Mac case. However, he neglected to mention that Epi wasn't even first to the scene I believe this is because of Epi's overdone claims.) Epi is jumping at every chance to take credit for this, and I think it's giving people way more of a positive read on him than he deserves to get for his Mac stance.

Linki: Elo, fair enough. JJJ, do you have numbers on how many times he's been bad? If he's 4/4 on teammate votes Day 1, that's damn compelling. If he's 4/20, not so much.
You feel pretty darn bad about Mac. Super. Not enough to make a vote him Day 5:
Russtifinko wrote:(Honestly though I don't find this Epi-Mac discussion to be super valuable, so I don't feel awful interrupting it.)

For now I'm throwing a vote on espers. As someone else pointed out, he's basically like recent Diiny, except all game, and he's been after me for no reason, which I don't like. I would not be opposed to lynching him, but I think it's unlikely for today. I probably will switch before Day's end. Possibly to Mac, who I'm thinking about a lot, or maybe to Epi or fingers.
espers
8
Russtifinko (18), motel room (20), JaggedJimmyJay (22), RadicalFuzz (23), Metalmarsh89 (30), Diiny (31), Ricochet (32), Matt F (34) 24%
fingersplints

MacDougall
2
Elohcin (19), Epignosis (21) 6%

And "lightly chiding" is not how I would characterize my post against MacDougall. I call it getting my hands dirty and doing the dirty work. Nice spin, though. :meany:

Re: [DAY 9] Talking Heads Mafia (RYM #90)

I have something fresh to bring to the table.

In looking through Bullzeye's posts, I noticed this exchange with Golden:
Bullzeye wrote:
Golden wrote:
Bullzeye wrote:I don't think he's bad and I won't take whatever bait he thinks he's thrown out there.
This makes no sense. If you don't think I'm bad, why wouldn't you take the 'bait' I've thrown out there. If you think I'm civ, surely you know me well enough to trust my gambits?
Because I think you're a civ and I'm not into lynching civs regardless of what you think it will accomplish.
Bullzeye wrote:
Golden wrote:Anyway, I doubt Il'l have a chance to be back before the lynch. I'd vote myself if I could, but that would be heinous rule breaking deserving of punishment, so I'm sticking with it on JJJ. I don't think Sorsha is the right person to lynch.

Good luck everyone - I'm really hoping that I'll discover you have listened to me, but if you lynch someone else then good luck on that one.

@JJJ - oh, really, you think I haven't considered a disastrous impact of my own lynch? What would that be?

@Bullz - I don't think refusing to hear other civilians is a townie thing to do.
I don't think lynching civs is a civ thing to do. Nor do I think pressuring people to lynch you is in any way a useful tactic regardless of alignment.
There are a few other posts like this...

Bullzeye refuses to vote for Golden, because Bullzeye thinks Golden is a civilian. This is Day 3. Bullzeye replaced sanmateo Day 2 and had 27.5 pages to read. Why would Bullzeye think Golden is a civilian at this stage?

But hold the phone:
Bullzeye wrote:
JaggedJimmyJay wrote: Golden -- Bad vibes. In the midst of protecting LC, he took the opportunity to go after me for behavior that makes no sense if I'm bad. I think he knows that, and saw an opportunity to capitalize. That's exactly what I was looking for from someone, and Golden ended up being the culprit. When I prodded him to tell me what he thinks I might be doing as a baddie, he had nothing. He even insinuates that he doesn't have to have anything. That's not a good look.
This is a good summary of why I, too, do not have good feelings about Golden right now. He's one of a few I'd say could be LC's team. Epi and Sorsha are in there too for trying quite hard to discredit the LC case.
Emphasis mine.

How did Bullzeye go from suspecting Golden on the same Day so quickly?
Bullzeye wrote:Yay, 2-ish pages is much easier to catch up on. Welcome to the game Fuzz, I don't envy your catchup at all. I will probably be changing my vote today, as I feel more reasonable about Sorsha. However I was going to move it to Epi until he came in being all genuine and making so much sense. He won't be getting my vote either. Nor will Golden. I don't know what game he's playing but it's ridiculous and disruptive and I don't see why a baddie would ever do such a thing so blatantly. I don't think he's bad and I won't take whatever bait he thinks he's thrown out there.
That is the only explanation offered. When bea gets lynched, Bullzeye mocks Golden:
Bullzeye wrote:So Golden's big scheme that we should've all gone along with or be considered suspicious was... to kill a civvie? Good work!
What does this mean?

What's more bizarre is that MacDougall actually voted Golden, but that same Day phase, he had this to say:
MacDougall wrote:
Golden wrote:@MacDougall - like I say, if you think I am scum, lynch me.

I encourage that today, there are only two lynch candidates on the table.

One is me, one is Jay. Vote with your feet. Jay for you think it was a bus. Me for you think Jay is a town hero.

King Arthur, here we bloody well come.
Wait, why would you be scum? I've missed something here. I didn't have you trying to abandon the LC lynch until right at the end. By the time you came along it would be nuts for you to be so obvious if you were scum?

No, I have you as a solid town read. I also have Jimmy. Why would one of you be scum?
MacDougall wrote:

MacDougall wrote:Okay I get it now. Golden is scum pretending to be reckless town and it began when LC flipped scum and he cracked badly and has been trying to glue together all the crumbs that fell out with a more and more intricate series of wifom plays and bullshit.

Changing my vote to golden. He reminds me of me as scum.
:ponder:

MacDougall advises thus:
MacDougall wrote:There is a lot of effort going into moving the lynch off golden/sorsha and onto someone else. Watch for llama/bullzeye like votes.
MacDougall is also vague in his exchange with Bullzeye:
MacDougall wrote:
Bullzeye wrote:Yeah I think FZ has raised a decent point about Russ, and I can't see any other explanations, so I will be *Voting Russti*
Can't see any other explanations for what? His behaviour? I don't like your choice of words here...
Now, prior to this, Bullzeye and MacDougall have had zero interaction, yet MacDougall said this:
MacDougall wrote:
JaggedJimmyJay wrote:BCORNETT

Much later:
MacDougall wrote:Looking at the later votes on Devinwagon, and none came before any of these four so it doesn't look like the scum got desparate and tried to double down to ensure Devin got lynched, but it does make me more weary of sig, Bullzeye and Black Rock.

linki: So coupled with Epi's request, let's take a closer look at Black Rock.
sig, Bullzeye, and Black Rock. Black Rock was a non-participating teammate. I wonder if MacDougall named a second teammate here.

In another interaction, MacDougall asks about me (when FZ. and k4j and others have already established that I'm behaving differently, which I don't agree with, but whatever):
Bullzeye wrote:
MacDougall wrote:Syndicate players, can I get some input on whether epi is playing differently in this game than usual?
He's usually a lot more aggressive. However he did just get killed night one in Recruitment (by accident as well) so he might have been deliberately trying to be more restrained just to avoid his sucky curse of always dying straight away for lame reasons.

Also, I was meaning to say earlier, I think there's good reason to believe that the SK targeted Golden's seductee and that that's why there were two kills shown. In this game there has been a lot of discussion as to whether or not SK's are actually just misunderstood, civ-friendly softies who love cuddles and would never harm a fly unless it was evil. Killing the basically outed civ removes any doubt that the SK is not civ-friendly. I don't think they'd choose to do that so early on. I think they killed someone else, and that someone was Golden's seduced friend. Then MP wrote the night post to reflect that the SK had both failed to kill one person and also killed Golden. I think that's a far more realistic option.
Why did Bullzeye answer this? As far as I can tell, he's the only one who did.

The Day MacDougall got lynched, Bullzeye was the sole voter for bcornett24.

Now this is something I want to emphasize: In my experience, when Bullzeye is called bad, his retorts can be caustic and nerve-wracking to the accuser. I went against him a few times and he breathed fire through the Internet.

Here, MacDougall has been calling Bullzeye bad, but Bullzeye just shrugged it off:
Bullzeye wrote:
JaggedJimmyJay wrote: The most noteworthy takeaway for me is that Bullzeye had very little say on the matter of MacDougall in this game. This is surprising because Mac clearly put some effort into calling Bullzeye a baddie -- both gun to head and in the form of actual accusations. Mac never built a real case or truly pursued this lynch, and Bullzeye did not seem to have much to say at all about the guy repeatedly calling him scum. Curious.
See my previous post re: not having seen any suspicion of me worth taking seriously yet. Mac wasn't giving any substance to his mentions of me. Nothing to say to him really.
I would imagine Bullzeye getting ready to probe MacDougall with a pointy stick shaped like a question mark and demand answers from MacDougall, and I would expect him to retaliate with a vote: His most vocal opponent (as far as I can tell) is about to get lynched and he tosses a vote onto someone who has none?

Doesn't smell right to me.

Gonna fire up the grill and marinate on this some more. :ponder:

And yeah, good call Wilgy. Lynching someone who can't defend - that's real town behavior.

What do you think of sig's response about Russ and Diiny being "civ" and his "typo" ?
It's also possible there's fifteen secret roles all named Santa Claus that will be revealed Day 10 and WHAT COULD IT MEAN.

Yes, a recruiter is possible. Saying something is possible isn't really saying anything (and I wasn't saying anything other than 1) Poking fun at someone, and 2) Commenting on why I don't like secret recruiters in general.

It's really not my fault that you couldn't simply say "Yeah Matt, that might be possible" instead of what you did.

Either way, I'd really like sig to answer my question regarding Russ and Diiny
And it's not my fault you can't understand subtlety and that you come up with nonsensical ideas and pursue them when...they're nonsensical.

You actually just said earlier that I could be a Mafia recruiter who recruited my wife because she's the perfect recruit.

I want you to think about that idea for a moment.

I'm a recruiter...in a game where no mention of a recruiter is made...and I bring up the idea of a secret recruiter being in the game (not meaning that there is- my post in doing so was to ridicule my wife for starting to mistrust me and in passing comment on the game-breaking nature of secret recruiters). That's a superb strategy for a recruiter in game where no mention is made of one in the roles list.

In summary, I raise a possibility that I don't believe is the case to make fun of someone's sudden shift in opinion and comment on mechanics I've seen elsewhere, only to have you imagine the idea that I'm a recruiter who recruited Elohcin and went public about it.

Like, dude, come on. :|
