I can understand why she might look town at face value. Her frustration appears genuine. I have to decide which of these it is:

1. She's town, and she would rather catch up with the game than deal with accusations.

2. She's bad, and she feels like she's being caught for stupid reasons.

#2 is one of the best scumtells in the game of Mafia, so I won't discard it without a good reason.

Or #3 (the actual reason). She got tired of trying because 3J didn't listen to anything she said anyway, so decided her valuable time and energy would be better spent elsewhere.

I have other internet games I can play, after all.

I'm trying to have a conversation with you. Please help me out.

Buddy, I have said everything I can as clearly as I possibly can. You dismissed all of it, and used it as further evidence why I am probably bad. I can't come up with anything else to say to you. I'm also not in the habit of continuing to talk when I've said what I want and the other person hasn't heard it.

I will add this - I love being lynched as a civ. Not because I like to lose, or because I want my team to lose. But because I love being right. But here's the dig - when I get lynched as a civ, the baddies are happy, and the civs who were wrong will still feel justified and say "well, she should have acted like a civ" and no one learns anything from the whole situation. But I am not a robot with pre-programmed responses as to how to "act like a civ" according to someone else. What I am is ass crack exhausted, I wanted to get my feet under me in this game to actually play it. That didn't happen. So now I'm in between a rock and a hard place. I'm too tired to fight to get out, and I'm too annoyed to care to push through the exhaustion and try.

And PS - yes they are nonsense "reasons" when they are wrong. Yes they are. Period. I have the luxury of knowing that, because I know my role, and you don't. (Or else you are bad.)

There will be no getting a rise out of me with bullying. There will be no rallying me to keep fighting by pushing me. I don't work that way.

This is hilarious.

Do you feel there's anything to be said from that about indiglo, the other replacement?

I just read that section a couple of times to try to make sure what you were saying. It looks like you are saying you think I'm a teammate of Elo's based on something she said that didn't even make sense (at least not to me). There is nothing for me to do or say other than - you are wrong.

LoRab's post about me made zero sense as well. I have been quite clear about how caught up I am. I have read all the pages since I started posting/playing, and nothing before. So of course I am aware that people have said my name, because I read those pages.

I have to say honestly, that this is seriously hindering my desire to even try to play this game after subbing in. I'm not sure if it's opportunistic baddies or just civs who are simply wrong. Either way, coming in and starting off on the defensive for absolutely no reason at all is going to completely paint the entire way I read everyone in the thread and isn't helpful to my game.

I'm not being sour grapes either, because I sub into games all the time - I'm practically a professional sub. I've probably subbed into more games that I've signed up for. I've never gotten this type of reception. Even when I've subbed in for a baddie who slipped up, and I come in as the clean up man. Now that's a tough situation to sub into. This is just an annoying situation to sub into.

So here's the deal - no one thinks I'm suspicious because of any actual content. Yet people still find me suspicious for "reasons". It makes no sense, it's either blatantly pushing an agenda, or just a foolish waste of time. There is absolutely nothing for me to say or defend against here, it's just a whole bunch of nothing.

I am not bad. Conclude whatever you want, but you will be wrong (or else revealed as a baddie) at some point in the game.

Not immediately list my name as probable baddie team, when all my posts (and those of my predecessor) could be counted on 1 hand. Just feels "off" to me.

But maybe that's a meta read, and I truly dislike those after that game of Dom's when I saw how ridiculous they can get.

There's nothing suspicious about you. I included you in the bad pile because I have a lot of people in the good pile. The baddies team was four-deep, meaning a total null slot is by default a top suspect by process of elimination. If the slot ceases to be totally null, that perspective has space to change. Keep doing what you're doing and I'll see how I feel.

Or in other words: Dance, monkey!

I shall do what I do. You may conclude whatever you please.



Also, hooray! It is Zombie Time!! I shall return at a later time.

I will soon be deciding if trying to "catch up" on the thread is doable, or a hopeless endeavor.

You surely do not need to read the entire thing. I think trying to do that in a situation like yours just causes you to fall behind even further in the thread. It's better to use what time you have talking with people in the thread, if you can. So um

Based on the content on this page alone, who looks better: MP or JJJ?

By "this page" you can pretend I mean the last 2 or 3 pages.

Yeah, this is about where my head is at. I think it will be best for me to simply try to stay current, and just do ISO's.


Honestly, the past couple of pages, 3J is giving me the heebie jeebies more than MP. And I don't say that lightly.

Why?

Drop your predispositions. They were formed in a realm where evidence did not exist. We have entered a new realm. Clean the slate, use the evidence, see where you land.

I personally recommend that EVERYONE be interested in recommendations. After all, 3 out of 5 experts recommend them.

~Linki, see that was 1 reason I didn't feel great about voting on the tied vote for Elo or LoRab. I almost always read both of them as baddies. And last game, that went real bad for me with LoRab... since she was actually part of my civ family.


And more linki... I'm just posting this, then I'll read the rest.

Hey, nice work gang! Y'all done real good!

I smell much better now. What shall we discuss until it's time to look at Zombies?

I will change clothes, unpack a little, shower up, and then you'll have my attention for a bit before it's Zombie Time.

Well I was trying to read the pages since I last checked in, then looked at the clock and realized I had 5 minutes until poll closing. So for now, as much as I hate to, I self-voted. I don't feel informed enough to jump on either of the current leading wagons.

I did see my name mentioned more than once, which I must say, I find very flattering. Sadly, however, it's also very wrong, which is embarrassing for the mentioners. And can't be based on anything since there's no content, which I find amusing for a variety of reasons.

Just swung in from on the road. I see a tie, and the idea that a tie will result in a no lynch. Should I break the tie? Please be aware I am not caught up, and feel terrible about that, and seeing the vote in such a situation. Is the tie intentional to not have a lynch?

I will check back in a few, I need to get my power cord anyway, my battery's about to die.

Well, I've read the past 5-ish pages or so... and that's not much. My apologies, the internet in this hotel is pretty good, my brain is just too tired from prepping and traveling to focus much on mafia atm. I'm more at a veg out and fall asleep place. I do plan on getting more active just as soon as I can. I will not miss votes, but I feel bad about not being informed enough to use my vote to its full potential.

On the plus side, I really enjoyed all the episodes of the Mystery Show podcast that I got listened. That type of show is right up my alley, and it really helps the road time pass by quicker.

I am here and checking in. However it is very late and I am tired, so checking in will be all I'm doing for the night.

Just as an FYI I am also getting ready to go out of town this weekend, so I'm not sure exactly when I'll get my feet under me properly here, but I shall do the best I can! And I shall then hit the ground running, you know how I do.


Also, please no more posting till I get all caught up. kthxbai
