Re: Retrocausality Mafia - ENDGAME: A Reprieve in the Desert
Or at least make it so that Squidward has to guess the election result correctly multiple times. The role is kinda ridiculous.

Re: Retrocausality Mafia - ENDGAME: A Reprieve in the Desert
But yeah, I would have given the BTSC connection, and the bulletproof vest to the indie role that had the quite difficult win objective instead of the pretty easy one.

Re: Retrocausality Mafia - Day 2: Sig puts his John Hancock down
It's denial and fear-mongering with no real potential results IMO. I realize I'm not exactly unbiased, but I'd feel more comfortable if the town lynched people because of legitimate in-thread reasons when we have no flips to go off of, instead of contested info-dropping hearsay which won't truly be proven one way or the other until dead peoples' roles are revealed. The former is productive and can generate conversations, while the second won't actually give us any information while serving as a major distraction.ColinIsCool wrote: ↑Tue Jun 19, 2018 5:09 pm I don’t agree with the recurring idea that we’ll just get rid of both signand inh to be safe. Quin’s posts should have been the catalyst for a decision, not a non-decision.

Re: Retrocausality Mafia - Day 2: Sig puts his John Hancock down
INT. OLD ABANDONED WAREHOUSE
A man holding a video camera lumbers through a cluttered, dusty warehouse. He's surrounded by faded cardboard boxes haphazardly placed on shelves. The man inspects each box, clearly looking for something. With a small exclamation of relief, he singles out and breaks open one particular box. Inside is a chair, which the man places on the ground. After hitting the record button, and setting his camera on a nearby shelf, the man sits in the chair and looks directly into the lens.
The man takes a deep breath.
A long sigh.
The man looks off into the distance.
He checks his watch.
Suddenly, tinny mechanical music begins to play. The man rustles in his pocket and pulls out a cellphone loudly emanating saxophone grooves. The man answers the call and puts the phone to his ear.
The man puts his phone back into his pocket.
The man sighs a second time.
The man gets up from his chair, walks over to the camera, and turns it off.

Well, uh, welcome back to the second installment of the INSERTNAMEHERE READZONE. Gonna be honest, the first episode...wasn't exactly a hit. In fact, everything from the format of the show, to the content led to people wanting to lynch me, but, uh, who I am I to let that stop me, right? I have a responsibility to deliver my true, genuine opinions to you fine people, and if I let fear of a little thing like fear of public opinion stop me, I let the terrorists win. So, er, where to start?

Obviously, I'd be wasting both my time and yours if I don't start with the obvious thing. The reason why I'm, as they say, on the run instead of sitting in a comfy studio. The big nonsensical imbroglio that has trapped the town in a cycle of frenzied speculation without any real, hard facts, while the possibility of gaining any real, hard facts seems smaller and smaller by the hour. It began with Quin.

Of course it did. Who else? Quin posted that he had been given information saying that yours truly and sig weren't of the same alignment. How exactly he got this information, and its' legitimacy has remained fuzzy. Quin himself hasn't exactly been...forthcoming with this info. But, and I have to be honest, even if Quin is an honest civilian who loves his country and all that jazz, I can't help but feel like all this craziness is a net negative for the town. Even if I came out, loud and proud, against Sig, and he got successfully lynched today, the town'd gain no information about sig's alignment, meaning that I'd probably still be a top target for the lynch tomorrow. And even after both mine and sig's lynch, the town still know if Quin was being honest, meaning that he'd probably also be a top target going forward. With one post, Quin signed a death sentence for me, sig, and himself, provided that the town was willing to work itself into a frenzy over it. All the while, everyone's distracted from actually hunting the baddies, and they just slip on through. Whittling off the numbers. I genuinely don't know if the town can come back from this, if both Sig and Quin actually are civilians.

Okay, uh, onto some related issues. Epignosis. Now, Epignosis is a great host of games, and a genuinely nice guy from everything I've seen. But, sometimes, he decides that he wants his strategy in mafia games to mainly be rude, dismissive, and combative. This is by no means his behavior in every game, but it can certainly pop up. I find that he usually displays it most when he's making either one large assumption or a series of assumptions that he wants the thread to believe and take seriously, and not look too closely at. He believes that he can make this work through stunting on people, and pure bravado. The series of assumptions that he's aggressively pushing people towards relates to me. His first assumption relates to a paragraph I wrote in which I referred to "the town" in the third person. This apparently is proof positive that I'm an independent role. Wait, actually, no. According to Epignosis, this reference to "the town" in the third person means that I'm a baddie pretending to be an independent by slipping oblique, grammatical references into my posts, in order to not get lynched. This...makes no fucking sense to me. Of course, were I to tell him that, he'd disregard it, saying that it doesn't need to make sense to me, and that it aligns perfectly with his perceived view of mafia stratagems, and to, y'know, shove off. So, instead, I implore all the civilians to actually look at all of the assumptions he's making and to judge them critically, without being cowed into going along with his faulty logic just because he tries to loudly shout at people until they do.

I realize that the obvious rejoinder to me saying that focusing on Quin, sig, and myself is a mistake for the town is a loud, stubborn, "well, who else should we look at?", so allow me to put forth some candidates. Off the top of my head, Lunalee, Epignosis, and Turnip Head. I'd also like to demand some more from Choutas, Kylemii, and Lapluie, lest they be future candidates for my wrath. Lunalee stinks the most of "going with the flow" out of every player in the game. She described her scum game, which I saw in U-Pick, as "looking good." And IMO her posts, with her going from voting sig to be president, to saying that sig should be lynched, to then wonder why people want to lynch sig, to asking more questions, to saying that sig shouldn't be lynched, to saying that I shouldn't be lynched if I'm ostensibly an indie role, to saying that the sig/INH drama is bad for the town, to voting for Quin, then changing to me, because apparently I was "defensive about my role"? Her progression of thought and ideas make no sense, and feel like a person trying to figure out the current of the thread, in order to conceal themselves in it. Her tying up the poll, pouring even more fuel on the sig/INH fire just feels planned and pragmatic to me. She's my top lynch candidate. Moving to Epi, his forcing people to conform to his assumption-based viewpoints seems shady and disingenous. I want to see more from him before I'd categorize him as a strong scum read, but he's someone I feel very uncomfortable about. (I know, I know, Epi has no regard for anyone's comfort levels. He's made that clear.) Finally, Turnip Head, who just seems malevolently irreverent in a way that seems different from his normal M.O.. I feel like his insistence that his win condition makes him completely apathetic is contrived, and I'd like to see either an explanation or some effort from him. Otherwise, his position on my shitlist will only become more and more prominent.

So, Sig's "vanished" and the lynch is pushed back. Well, I guess it's more important than ever that sound, solid baddie-hunting is prioritized over giving into Quin-originated paranoid hysteria.

Re: Retrocausality Mafia - Day 2: Sig puts his John Hancock down
I thought Scotty's D1 voting pattern was weird and suspicious enough for me to vote for him, however, if he later went against what made me suspicious, I was open to changing it to someone else.
Quin is trying to put me in a situation where I either post the details of my role, proving that I'm not a threat to the civilians, or he's gonna make me look like a confirmed baddie, and serve my head on a platter.
But apparently the first is malevolent blackmail, and the second is okay, kosher civ behavior.
Linki:
Well, what the fuck do you want from me, Quin? If literally nothing I can say about myself or my role could change anything, fuck it.
Might as well ignore you then.

Linki:
What? I thought fake-claims were more character based. Like, if everyone said the name of their role, and three of the names were obvious bad guys in time-travel related tales, then fakeclaims would allow them to at least appear as simpatico, non-enemy sounding roles. That's how I used them in the games I've hosted. I'm not familiar with fake-claims including fake abilities.

You're putting forth this idea that my perspective is permanently warped when it comes to you, and that any opinion I may have on you should be instantly disregarded. You're trying to make all of my concerns about you seem meta-based in an attempt to discredit and lynch me. It's fuckin' scummy, and I'm not gonna disregard my suspicion of you because of one game (where you were an indie serial killer) where I incorrectly suspected you over POE-related shenanigans.
It seems like you perceive this so-called bias only in games where I suspect you, and not in games that we play together where I don't (of which there have been several).

Re: Retrocausality Mafia - Day 1: Better flush out the PP
This post is also officially dumb. Dumb, dumb, dumb. What is this, a beloved Disney film about an elephant with a feather? Because y'all are acting like a bunch of Dumbos.

Re: Retrocausality Mafia - Day 1: Better flush out the PP
Welp, it's time for the world premiere of the INSERTNAMEHERE READZONE!
First up in the READZONE! is Zephyrus. This mysterious Syndicate freshman initially got lodged in a bit of sticky wicket when Epignosis and company decided to assign him the arbitrary "LOW POSTER THAT GETS EARLY GAME SUSPICION" designation over his fellow low-posters. Since then, I feel like he's handled himself rather well, and his pointing out that other low posters both in fact exist, and suggesting that people should mayhaps go after them now that he's energized in the thread is about what I'd do. He gets an official "INSERTNAMEHERE TOWNREAD" label. Wear it proudly, young one.
Now, next up in the READZONE!, we'll be covering the fued between Misters Golden (A.K.A. the Kiwi Killah, Is So Meta Even This A.K.A.) and Scotty (A.K.A. Jeff, the Actor Factor). Now, Imma be honest, literally every post Scotty made against Golden, I more or less agreed with. Now, Golden is someone who I've had some...difficulty reading in the past, so I could perhaps be a tad idealogically biased. Golden responded to Scotty/Epi's initial proddery with swift, harsh overkill that felt like way too damn much. Then, Golden did that thing that I'll always dislike, where he starts referring to himself in the third person, and talks about how "Civ Golden" always takes heat on Day 1, and "Scum Golden" has never even gotten a vote on Day 1. Therefore, if Golden gets attention on Day 1, according to Golden, that means that he must be civilian. But this opens up a bit of a paradox.
If Golden's a civilian, then we shouldn't vote for him Day 1. However, if Golden doesn't receive any votes on Day 1, he's incredibly more likely to be scum, and should be lynched ASAP. So, either we don't vote for Golden, and let a scummeister slip on by, or vote for Golden and mislynch a civilian.
Or, y'know, we could fucking ignore people when they explain their own metas, because it's literally meaningless. The second someone proclaims their own meta style of gameplay, it's unrepresentative of their gameplay. If you're intelligent enough to realize, oh, I do this when I'm good, and I do this when I'm bad, you're also smart enough to realize that you should, if you are bad, try doing the things that you usually do when good.
Anywho, after Golden spouts that malarkey, he claims that Scotty's case against him is so fallacious that he should be lynched, citing his ostensibly solid meta read of Scotty. Which is pretty dumb IMO, and makes me want to join Scotty in voting for Golden. The case against Scotty barely makes sense, the dude's made sense to me the whole game, so I'm willing give him an official "INSERTNAMEHERE TOWN-...wait a second, I'm being told something by my producers...uh huh...really?...Seriously?
Ahem. It appears that Scotty is unwilling to vote for Golden. Which makes no goddamn sense to me.
Shit.
Okay, this may be a little less clear-cut.
Let's throw down the guantlet, why don't we. I'm going to put my vote on Golden for right now. If Scotty votes for Golden as well, I'll keep it where it is. If, by, say 10 minutes before the EOD, (wait, when the fuck is the EOD) Scotty still refuses to vote for Golden, I'll move my vote over to him.
[VOTE: Golden] aubergine
Well folks, before we tune out for today, let's do some 5 WORDS OR LESS READS!
Macdougall - Fairly prototypically stubborn and reaching
Epig - Emphatically stirring the pot.
Quin - Quin
Nutella - Civ, agree with about Zeph.
Luna - Slight scum, seemingly wagon-jumping.
Choutas, Spacedaisy, Lapluie: I have literally no thoughts on.
And that's all we have time for. Hopefully, we'll be here tomorrow during Day 2, to provide you fine people with some more hot takes and fresh reads. From deep within The Syndicate, good night.

Why do you have this read? How interested are you in a Quin lynch today? Do you have any pings you feel aren't strong enough to be "suspicions"? Do you think my performance so far is compatible with scum Quin? Is it compatible with town Quin? How about indy Quin? Do you have any town reads? If I weren't on the poll today who would you lynch? Why shouldn't I lynch you? What's the biggest point in favour of you being town? What do you think about Colin for asking this question? Who are you thinking about voting today? What is your voting strategy today? What has interested you in the thread so far in this game? Are you town? Who's your GTH scum team? How would you describe town lapluie? How about scum lapluie? Or indy lapluie? What do you think about Golden? Zephyrus? Who's entrance do you like the most? What about the least? Who do you think is flying under the radar?
let me know if i missed any ok

Important game mechanic related question:
Will the title of the game thread be updated each phase with a new pun?

I mean, yeah, if a roulette ball lands on a black space three or four times in a row, there's definitely a higher chance that it'd land on a red space on the next spin.

Macs day one guy is fucking legendary. And pretty good. But for whatever reason he doesn’t get me.

I don't presume he's good just because he's been good in similar circumstances in the past. It could just as easily be an intentional move to get me to read him as town. Also, I think there's been at least once he's done this and been bad (Talking Heads), but I'm not 100% certain of that.

Yay game.
Instead of using a "Like" function, whenever I think a post is clever or insightful on The Syndicate, I just yell the phrase "LIKE" at my computer screen. It feels more satisfying.
