I explained my reasoning in depth. His response doesn’t actually answer what I said. Therefore, it didn’t change my mind.

Long Con wrote: ↑Sat Mar 30, 2024 11:10 pm My top team is Lorab/falcon right now. I want this towncore to work. Your post where you were just like "ok it's JJJ and LC" was what rubbed me the wrong way.

Why do believe it is a town core? Other than it has been self stated.

JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Sat Mar 30, 2024 11:00 pm I mean that respectfully.

I have considered Long Con and LoRab as a possible team. If Epignosis is not mafia, I don't know what else it'd be. I'm also not sure it matters, because I don't see how we win this game regardless of who it is.

We are not. And if we lynch another civ, we certainly won’t. Ergo, don’t lynch me.

Your arguments of unpairing were good, I thought. She could still be bad. Lemme glance at her now.

I can't count her out. I didn't see anything in her ISO that's out of her Wolf range. Falcon/Lorab team with a little bit of distancing by Lorab? I am sure she knows that trick. Epi might be the patsy... he votes Lorab for Epi reasons and then falcon jumps on to distance, then Lorab turns it around with a light distance vote later on.

I could see it.

I mean, I could. And I probably have. And I appreciate the compliment. But that isn’t the case this game. I’m just a civ. Trying to figure this game out.

I’m here now! Still catching up.

TonyStarkPrime wrote: ↑Sat Mar 30, 2024 2:26 am You’re good at mafia explain to me why we’re sitting here on day 4 with a solid town core since day 2 and our PRs dead and no wolf flips

There clearly isn’t a solid town core.

Need to read up now. As for voting for me, I don’t know what to say, as there has been no real case against me (unless there has been the past day, which I will respond to when I get there). Other than I’m civ. You’re not going to end the game by voting me, unless the game ends because the baddies win. I have had poor judgement in botes, but so has everyone else this game.

Undecided for whom I shall vote.

Sorry I missed yesterday. I have strep throat. It sucks. But I’m here today.

Gah.

Forgot to tag the vote.

[VOTE: Simon] aubergine

Changing my vote to Simon. Because I find him suspish. And also because self preservation.

Also, I’m civ.

Simon wrote: ↑Tue Mar 26, 2024 10:34 pm I just realized that one of the advantages that I have in this game so far,(and it's a big one for people like JJJ,)is the fact that I have zero history playing this, (without any help at least.)

The reason I used JJJ as an example is because from what I understand, his play style revolves around comparing people from past experiences, such as being Mafia from a previous game.

From what I understand, JJJ can't seem to get a good read on me. Because at first he was accusing and/or questioning me.

However since my most recent large post, (about JJJ throwing crap at people,) he suddenly started to suspect me less, which I don't understand. But if I wrote it well, then fine, ok sure.

But from recent replies, people were already likely to figure that out sooner or later, so again, I don't know how a single Post can change so much about wether you trust someone or not.
Too much reminding us that he’s inexperienced and mentions this in other posts, as well. It feels a lot like nope, not me, don’t kill the newbie. It just didn’t sit right with me.
You wanted a reply from me, well here I am.

And yeah, the more I think about it after reading this post, the more annoying I sound in this regard. But on the other hand I was also stating that was still inexperienced for not knowing what kind of behavior I would see from different players, in which I would later figure out.

If you also want me to shut up about it, I will. There's no real point in rubbing it in, especially if people already know about this.

not a matter of annoying. You’re not. It’s a matter of you looking bad.

sig wrote: ↑Wed Mar 27, 2024 1:57 pm What’s your thought on Lorab’s vote
I don't care for it. I was surprised that she agreed with my rationale when it squarely implicated her, and she submitted to the vote with no resistance. I'm not sure how to interpret that right now from the standpoint of a falcon/LoRab team theory, but it makes me suspect LoRab more on her own.

It was partly your logic, and mostly his reaction to it.

Yes, it implicates me, because I’m a low poster in this game, but I know I’m not bad, and so it’s likely one of the other quieter posters. I’d say it’s likely a newer player, because newer players don’t always know how to kill strategically in games in general.

Meant to add:

[VOTE: Falcon] aubergine

JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Tue Mar 26, 2024 11:19 pm Who's most likely to miss this critical factor and make a bad mechanical kill?

falcon - maybe I guess, he's only kinda here
LoRab - could be, has missed a ton
motobot - could be, new to mechanical problems like this
Simon - could be, new to mechanical problems like this
sig - maybe I guess, he's only kinda here
Long Con - less likely
Epignosis - less likely
Tony - almost certainly not

Responding to all your points in this quote and following. While my posting has missed a ton, I’ve read everything. And, I also agree with your logic on this in general.

I agree that falcon is a good choice for a vote. Especially after his response to the accusation.

Been reading but not posting over dinner. I’m not seeing bad Jjj. Moving to Abigail Sofia to break the tie. Don’t really have strong opinion of her, but epi has suspected her, and I have no reason to think she is civ.

[VOTE: AS] aubergine

Current thoughts:

I’m of 2 minds on LC, because I read him wrong last game. But he has been pingy. Especially using the FEB emoji. So, not voting him for now, but keeping an eyeball there.

I do suspect Wilgy. His posts feel like he’s faking himself, if that makes sense. Like, he’s trying too hard to sound like civ wilgy…his tone just feels off. For the moment, I am voting there. Open to changing, but definitely suspecting.

[VOTE: wilgy ] aubergine

Also, voting someone with a vote already because self preservation, and I know I am civ.

@Epignosis why did you placeholder your vote on me?

Also, part of my challenge this came is that I’m still not at all used to closed games. So, I’m still doing some brain wrapping around. Working on it.

But first, a nap. Because this weekend was wonderful and exhausting. Mostly exhausting.

JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Mon Mar 25, 2024 11:07 am I’ve had “reads”. They’re of low quality. I’ve been opem about that.

For example: you’ve just voted for LoRab. Does that vote gove you confidence? Do you believe in that vote?

I am confident that either Lorab will engage, which is why I tagged them...

Or they won't. In which case I'm more than happy to see them flip

If you read my posts, you’ll see I was working pretty much the entirety of the weekend, which is why I didn’t post much. You can also see that I’ve been engaging as I catch up from Jewish holiday madness. But happy to engage with you if you give me something to engage about.

Also, she/her. (I have no issue being called they, and appreciate people not assuming gender, but in case you were wondering)

falcon45ca wrote: ↑Mon Mar 25, 2024 10:19 am [VOTE: lorab] aubergine @LoRab Who else is on your team?

Any particular reason you’re voting me?

And anyone who is a civvie is on my team.

sig wrote: ↑Sun Mar 24, 2024 2:35 am The scotty kill is odd, I’ll need to do an NKA of them though.

I don’t recall a single post by PA, however both Epi and Jay reasoning mirror the game that just ended where she was civ and also misvoted fairly early I think. (I died D2 and stopped paying attention, but we won so GoC 2024 here I come )
However, given that it looks like sig was copying notes from Night 1 (in the content you referenced), your point may stand. We're forced to take that or leave it, but I don't object at this point.
Oh, okay then. Jesus. Turning 40 sucks.

Wait until 50.

I shouldn't even be playing. I'm still working.

Is there meaning to your colors here? Or is it just pretty…
Your primitive tongue could not pronounce those meanings.
It's probably a system only he understands. But the real question is, why would he even post this if that were the case?

If it is even a system. I think he just picked colors at random!!

sig wrote: ↑Sun Mar 24, 2024 6:18 am. I also don’t quite see why he wouldn’t count the Indy as pro civ? I don’t want to delve too deep into third parties, but from what I saw it seems to be a more civ aligned third party.

To share one of my absolute strongest convictions of playing mafia: never trust an Indy or neutral role/character. NEVER!! Way too dangerous and they can screw everyone over when they want…especially dependent on who has the role. And I don’t trust any of yall to not be the kind to totally take an Indy role and run super Indy with it.

Lorab isn’t here so I’ll give them another day.

I mean, you literally just got here. But im here for the moment. Will likely have low activity this evening, but then fully in the game.

No. He and LoRab are both currently outside the rules (not intended as a slight, just a statement of fact).

No slight taken by me. It’s accurate.

Hey all! I’m so sorry for missing the vote and under posting. It’s a Jewish holiday this weekend, a fun one, but a super work intensive one for me. It’s Purim, for those wondering. It’s the one that’s all about cosplay, carnivals, and cookies. And we are encouraged to get drunk. It celebrates the story in the Book of Esther, for those who have read it. The holiday started tonight at sundown and goes until tomorrow night. I’ll be working from around 7 to around 5, so will probably be sporadic to,or row. But will keep up.

Thank you to the host for not killing me off outright. I’ll do better for all future days.

Why hello syndicate land!
