Re: Battlestar Galactica Mafia - GAME OVER

So anyway, the post that convinced me that Wilgy was a civ cylon came right after Long Cain was lynched:
DrWilgy wrote:And I have a win condition again! Yay me!
Who doesn't have win conditions under martial law?

Right after this, Goldama posted an admonition against discussing win conditions, which I thought was a pretty big indicator of what to look for. Yet in the end, even 3J, who was essentially spot-on the entire game, concluded my defense of the Dr. was entirely lore-based. :facepalm:

Let's think like Epi, shall we?

Nero says he's good. He thinks I'm bad. He likes Juliets better than Daisy, which means he thinks Juliets is good. Yet he doesn't say Daisy is bad! It's "logically inconsistent"! Lynch him! Syllogisms and shit, lol.

I don't think Juliets is good, I said she looked better than Nero or SpaceDaisy. Your logic is flawed because it is based on a false premise - that I think Juliets is good. I wasn't trying to identify the good and the bad, I was ranking them according to my level of suspicion. You keep saying "logically inconsistent", but I don't think it means what you think it does. You're going to get a civ lynched because of it.

It was her charge on Long Cain and her willingness to actually go and find the Wilgy post I'm always talking about - assuming she wasn't just lying about that. Cavil already knew Wilgy wasn't one of his, assuming I'm right about Wilgy. My read didn't change because I only spent one night dead and came back the same way I went in.
I don't want to vote Epi or S~V~S. Epi because I guess I'm not just over lore yet. Boomer spent an entire season being good, but Athena was never evil. And S~V~S because she has been one of my stronger civ reads ever since she lead the charge on Cain. I just can't see a Cavil cylon doing that. If martial law benefits anyone other than Cain, it's the Cavil cylons.

The highlighted portion needs expansion, I don't really understand this assertion.
It doesn't benefit human civs who then need to kill a lot more players to win. It doesn't benefit civ cylons because prior allies now need to kill them. It only benefits mafia cylons, because the attention of the civs has been broadened and is no longer focused on just them. If I was Cavil, I would have let martial law stay in play as long as possible.

All I was doing was ranking a set of three suspects from most to least suspicious, and voting for the most. If there had been even one other suspect in the set, your three-card monte logic wouldn't even be possible. I have learned from my albeit limited experience that when you resort to one four-letter word response you are beyond engaging in genuine debate, so, especially with a limited number of posts available, I'm done. "X sounds the best" does not equal "x is good". "Y sounds the worst" does not equal "Y is bad".

Go frak yourself, civ cylon, like me, nonetheless.

Neroluner
So, for Dex:

Juliets is good
Spacedaisy is in between
Nerolunar is bad

I have a problem with this.

The premise Dex is using to condemn Nerolunar is that the Final Five are two good and two bad. He does not dispute this thinking, and if he is going to condemn Nerolunar on the basis of that, then he must believe it himself.

So let's work this out:

Juliets is good
Spacedaisy is in between
Nerolunar is bad
Dex is...???

Where does that leave Dex? If he believed two good two bad, which was the basis for voting Nerolunar, then he should have categorically condemned Spacedaisy as bad, but he didn't. He put her "in between."

I am suspicious of Dex now.

The cherry on top?

SUSPECTS JOHN CAVIL

For my own part, I doubt that a vote for Cavil will do anything more than to buy him more time. I have to agree that a focus on the 4ofF5 is our most productive approach, even though that includes me. If we have to eliminate Cavil's team to get to Cavil, one or two of them are there, and that's a small pool of suspects to search.

Nero's throwing S~V~S to the brig is behaviorally positive civ cred, albeit very easy. If I was nero and mafia, I'd do the same. Meanwhile, Julliettes has chosen to pursue some arcane issue with Sok that seems rather beside the point. SpaceDaisy seems to be mostly lurking. There is little left to go by than reads, and I'm terrible at reads.

I find it ironic, though, that I have spent the entire game trying to defend civ cylons, only to find myself in their very predicament.

Ricochet wrote:This took quite a while to think off (which is quite the understatement, given what I've focused on yesterDay), but what are the chances of Boomer having been a sort of seemer - not in terms of showing up as someone else, but showing up as town?

One reason that keeps nagging me is the role of Cally. Why would Cally be designed to have a shot at killing Boomer, if Boomer were civilian? Town praying on town makes no sense. Mind you, we're not talking some basic ninja civ skills, with which a civilian can either hit the jackpot and eliminate mafia or frak up and deplete the civ ranks... we're talking a specific, revengeful (according to the l-word) bullet for one character only. It doesn't matter that Cally never reached Boomer (maybe she hasn't even lived enough to achieve that), it matters that she was destined to, from the design.

Another aspect is that Boomer's alignment flip being seemer-ish would have allowed for Glorfindel to play out his "truthful / never lying" facade. In a strange way, if he knew he'd flip town, he didn't need to feel conflicted that he's lying to us about being genuine and town and fighting for the good cause (...even if was lying), because he would know that, upon showing up as town, our minds would get fried (*raises hand*) and we'd treat his legacy as genuine.

Besides, if Glorfindel was by any stretch of the imagination Cavil-aligned, I have no doubt that SVS mentored him in how to defend to perfection.

Please comment.

END OF POST #3
Rico, I don't know what to say. I think this is brilliant, and rings true to me. In the show, if there was any character who "seemed" good but wasn't, it was Boomer. None of the other cylons were moles in quite the same way. It explains so much that has been bothering me since the Boomer flip.

Not sure if you can actually address this, so better consult with your nearest Hangman err I mean Host first, but I'll ask anyway.

In your first incarnation, did you know your alignment from the very start? I'm talking specifically traditional alignment such as "town". Tighnero, did you knew you were town until you got lynched?
I knew my win conditions, which implied an alignment to me.
Ricochet wrote:Problem with the second paragraph is that Glorfindel was lynched on Day Seven and a cycle earlier he and sig both survived, with Baltar taking over as President. That's season three material, iirc. So we're not talking lynching Boomer that could have began the game civ-aligned. We're talking lynching Boomer that, according to lore, should be way past emerging as a villain.
The point is fair. I do think it's possible for the game to follow the timeline of the show in broad strokes, and for details to fall where they may, particularly in terms of character's deaths over which the host has no control. But I'll not belabor the point.
Ricochet wrote:But to hell with these lore technicalities. Game-wise, I could marginally see Boomer conditioned by some event or some trigger (or recruitment?) to switch from town-aligned to mafia-aligned. But then, for instance, why would Boomer be an automatic victim of Cally, should the latter have found her in her searches, unless we were to interpret Boomer as viable to become anti-town? Anyway, maybe, maybe an event never happened to affect Boomer's town alignment (it can happen in Mafia games: you design something to potentially happen and it never falls in place). We were deprived of knowing Boomer's alignment until now, we were too trustful of lore, nothing more we can do. I'm not comfortable with not knowing Athena's alignment anymore. Are you? Judge Epignosis' game, do you still read it to be civilian? That's what matters.
I hear this sentiment a lot, but there doesn't appear to be a way to do this short of lynching him, and if he flips civ, it's a mislynch. This is sig's "let's lynch all the cylons to see if they're civ". It seems like madness to me. Let's just lynch everybody to see if their civ!

Dex wrote:You asked me the same question and I gave you the same answer as did S~V~S. The finer points of the debate deserve more attention. You seem to only regard the Cain or Cavil first question non contextually; in a vacuum, which is the greater evil, Cain or Cavil? You are dismayed when anybody answers anything but Cavil. But S~V~S and I were coming from a context where we were fairly certain who Cain was - and we were right - and had no idea who Cavil was. It could have taken us all game to find Cavil; we had Cain in hand.

And I'm not sure what you mean by the mafia boss "being more dangerous to mafia than to civs". That may be true per se, Cavil wants all humans dead (I presume) and Cain didn't want any humans dead. But you overlook the fact that Cain made civ victory twice as difficult by requiring twice the number of lynches to win. And that's just the numerical disadvantage. Martial law was depriving us of half the cylons as aliies, and denying us whatever powers they had that might be of great usefulness to the civ cause. Possibly even, for example, finding Cavil.

What you are apparently preferring here is that we spend an indeterminate amount of time prioritizing a search for a particular role with half the chance to win the game than to take out first a known target that will double our chances of winning.

If anybody had even the slightest inkling who Cavil was, we may have answered you differently. Taking out a target who we had pretty much identified who was having a serious negative effect on a civ victory was a far, far better choice.
During the course of a lengthy debate, I also asked you for a name. How have you forgotten all of this? Selective memory? In my last in-case-I'm-NKed post, just before I was in fact NKed, I named S~V~S as one of my strongest civ reads, and that remains the case. I find your tunneling on her very peculiar.

You present a defense of Wilgy being Conoy, right? Is that still viable? If not, on what grounds do you read Wilgy civ? (I'm asking for reiteration, in case you already covered this). Do you think that, if Anna flipped independent, Conoy might as well?
No. I do not. Look at my post that you quoted. My defense of Wilgy is not that he is Leoben and so must be good. I do not know what role Wilgy is, I'm only guessing that it's Leoben. What I know is that Wilgy is civ, whatever his role. I don't know how I can be clearer on this. I don't see how you can be mis-reading this. It's not "Wilgy must be Leoben and, according to lore, Leoben is good". It's "Wilgy is civ, whatever his role is, maybe it's Leoben."

It occurs to me that Glorfindel's civ flip, as surprising as it is, doesn't necessarily mean we have to throw lore out the window. I doubt it, given the way Goldama has structured this game. I doubt he assigned alignment to cylons randomly. For the entire first season, Boomer WAS civ-aligned, right up to the Season 1 finale, when she shot Adama. It stands to reason, therefore, that Boomer would begin the game civ-aligned.

I'm guessing that not all Final Five are civ, but as they re-appeared just today we really have had no time to get any reads on them. Knowing my own situation, however, I'm willing to start by giving them the benefit of the doubt.

Re: Battlestar Galactica Mafia - Night 7

I have a bad feeling about tonight, so just a couple of thoughts in case I don't make it.

ObbsAll, I know we haven't seen eye to eye in this game and we don't know each other, but I'd like you to please consider that when I said I was certain that LC was Cain he was, and that when I said I was certain the Glorfindel was a Cavil toaster he was. I am certain Wilgy is a civ toaster. Please just consider it.

I get the current anti-Rabbit trend, but I recall for most of the game that role was Silverwolfs, and she was one of my strongest civ reads.

Strongest civ reads: Epi, S~V~S, Matt.

Strongest mafia reads: Bea, Rico, BR.

If I a NKed, to those responsible, I say Hi! Image

Re: Battlestar Galactica Mafia - Night 7

Bea

Bea's voting record does not look good. She did not vote Nutella on Day 2. On Day 3, after LoRab claimed, she jumped on the Nero bandwagon, contributing to the Tighe lynch. 3J called this "the most suspicious" vote in Nero's wagon. The next day, after LoRab' immunity has expired, she jumps on that. She professes "ecstasy" when LC is lynched Day 5, but did not vote for him; neither did she vote for a declared and untouchable DrWilgy.

Day 6, she does vote Glorfindel, but at the very last minute, long after he declared and was in no danger of being lynched. This is a classic distancing vote. Then Bea reads like she is begging him for an excuse to vote somewhere else:
bea wrote:Glor. I'm reading what you say. And I'm trying to get what you are saying. My only question is a simple one. If not you then who do we lynch and why?
bea wrote:Glor - I get that you're frustrated but I am trying to understand you. I'm not being willfully ignorant. I'm trying to open my mind and my expectations. I'm trying to balance my knowledge of the show with the actual game. I'm trying to use both pieces of information together to come to the best possible decision in a semi-closed set up with little information.
bea wrote:Glor I get what you are saying. It's possible that the bad guys do not follow show 100 percent. Here's my continued hang up. If not that way, how are they formed?
In the end, though, she just misses the vote.


I am not a fan of meta evidence (I really didn't like Sig and 3Js meta defences of the Glorf). I don't play a whole lot of mafia and don't have a lot of history with most of the players in this game. But Bea and I go way back, she has probably played in most if not all of the games I've been in, and I have observed her in games that Indi played or that I co-hosted. I believe that bad Bea tends towards the self-deprecating; a lot of I'm drfunk, I'm lost, I'm a nub, I'm catching up, please explain it to me like I'm a 3-year old and so forth, and there has been a LOT of that by her in this game.

You know I adore you, lil sis, but I suspect your role is a vile one what needs lynching.

Re: Battlestar Galactica Mafia - Night 7

My own take is that there was a 4-player BTSC team, Cavil's faction, of which only Cavil and Doral remain. But we'll also have to contend with the Final Five, and I have no idea how that mechanic is going to play out.

Additionally, I have become convinced that we are going to see a Gaeta's rebellion, which will pit us against Gaeta and Zarek. If there are any recruiters in the game, I'd look to these guys.

But, you know. Lore.

Blah blah blah.

RIH Boomer.

Good call on Glorfy everyone but I refuse to apologize for presenting ideas that may not be popular to the majority of town. I thought it was possible Glorfy and sig were Six/Baltar, and I was wrong. Nothing more to it then that.
Good thing nobody listen, then, eyyyy? :grin:

Way to fight the good fight Glorfindel.

We're down to Cavil and Doral. I'd say we're in pretty darn good shape.

My suspicion of ObsAll has cooled significantly on account of her early vote for the Glorf. My three top suspects at this time are Rico, Bea, and BR.

This is, in fact, an equivocal answer. By Cavil faction I do NOT mean mafia or anything about allegiance at all since, strictly speaking, there is no mafia in this game. The term is never used by Goldama. This is how you are currently trying to deny your role while technically not lying about it. Sure, you're not mafia, because there is no mafia. There are sets of compatible and incompatible win conditions - no civs, scum, town, good or bad.
But there is a Cavil faction, and I would like to ask you, please, for an unequivocal yes or no one-word answer: are you part of the Cavil faction?

But I do not expect to get one. Lord-a-mercy, if Glorf escapes lynching today I'm going to need a large dosage of subscription-strength chill pills.
If there is indeed one Dex (and I am utterly unconvinced at your assertion that there is no 'Mafia team' by whatever name you may choose to call it) NO, I am unequivocally not part of it.
That's pretty much the answer I was expecting.
