I'm pretty much with you except on the LC front.colonialbob wrote: ↑Tue Nov 28, 2017 4:13 pm As of now I'm probably voting into jack/LC/speedchuck. But I've been relatively unplugged for a few days so I want to go back and do some rereading.
Daaaaang?
Catching up, but I wanna post right away on this - I thought this was a cool way to engage the thread. Kudos, Quin, did you make that up for this game?JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Sat Nov 25, 2017 8:08 pmQuin pulled this move on Day 0. I think it's decent on a couple fronts:
1) It's effective for content generation.
2) This notion of "I have a suspicion, everyone else should tell me what it is" strikes me as an atypical means for a mafioso to either smear or distance.
That's assuming we get to know the role of the nightkilled partycolonialbob wrote: ↑Sat Nov 25, 2017 12:32 amAs far as other reads I'd really prefer to wait for flips tonight, you know, in case somebody dies...

Epi's response to LC's pressure is a lot more damning than the initial stupid argument.
I agree the defense is more damning than the accusation but the accusation (Quin/Sloonei's version anyhow) has merit.
I don't think you ever responded to this.
I'm not caught up yet, but according to my mentions LC is taking a bunch of my posts out of context?
And poking at my strong and obvious opinion posts.
Those were a part of a spontaneous catch up read, and the second is just how I play, man
Here speedchuck casts a vote for me just for voting Epignosis, which is the only thing I really did on page 4, unlesss talking about Spacedaisy's non-guilty post is why. Originally thought Sloonei voted Epi I guess?speedchuck wrote: ↑Mon Nov 20, 2017 7:21 pm Voting LC for page 4 stuff that I said I was gonna vote Sloonei for.

This idea is never followed up on. It was worth commenting on with a partial read, but not worth closing the idea? Or was it filler-talk?
Stating an easy obvious strong opinion. One that a few others already had made clear. More filler? Why repeat what has been said?speedchuck wrote: ↑Mon Nov 20, 2017 7:28 pmOh come onEpignosis wrote: ↑Mon Nov 20, 2017 1:12 pmWait a minute.Long Con wrote: ↑Mon Nov 20, 2017 12:53 pm
Uh, you pick two Civs and buddy them so they trust you and don't lynch you. Long game benefit: survival, and more likely to lynch Civs along the way. You intimidate Sloonei out of coming after you. Benefit: One less Civ coming after you; survival; more likely to lynch a Civ along the way.
How does Long Con know Mesk, coolonialbob, and Sloonei are civilians?
In the hypothetical that LC is putting forward, of course they'd be likely civs.
This is always a stupid argument
Never really responded to this, but Speedchuck seems to imply that I should call out every empty filler post in the game... I called Epi's out because he claimed to have used it for alignment-judgement on mesk, and I thought the content wasn't there to make that call, aka something was up.speedchuck wrote: ↑Mon Nov 20, 2017 7:39 pmI'm glad none of the other players in this game post empty filler.Long Con wrote: ↑Mon Nov 20, 2017 4:34 pm As for the cbob and mesk no-vote posts... they're empty filler. Neither of them are in any way real or substantial gameplay. There was nothing about mesk's "dirt" comment that should lead to any alignment decisions. IF you really feel the need to read into it, it indicates a general ignorance or the game structure, which doesn't show as good or bad. And I don't feel like it was even that. Does anyone disagree with this?
And the Rocket Man lyrics response is equally devoid of value. So Epi would have spared his vote for any player who acknowledged his Elton John joke. Why? It doesn't even plant a seed that could grow into a suspicion, it doesn't put anyone on the spot, the only effect is to make cbob slightly more comfortable.
I'm also glad that you, LC, consider every player as an option, rather than writing a few off on D1. Screw priorities, focus, or good feels. Gotta waste all that effort on evaluating every player.
Was to call out epi for his egregious behavior.
This is one of the stupidest arguments I've seen D1, regardless of epi's alignment. What's worse, IT ISN'T EVEN YOUR ARGUMENT! Sloonei brought it up and you bandwagoned!
And worst of all, there's still a strong possibility that you're town and this is just LCxEPI LOVE CHU CHU
Could say the same here.speedchuck wrote: ↑Mon Nov 20, 2017 7:52 pm Mkay
I think the Epi train was formed out of nothing, and from now on, I'm going to pick two peeps not to lynch on D1 of every game and announce it to the world just to prove it. It's a stupid start to a stupid argument filled with stupidity, and the only reason Epi hasn't fought his way out of it is that he doesn't know how to defend against asininity.
(I love you guys <3 But I calls them as I sees them)
Eliminating possibilities for lynch on D1 is not a scumtell, and that's where the whole thing started. Once it became LC vs Epi, the arguments went the same way they usually do. Having caught up, I would posit that both are bull-headed town. And the strongest point against Epi is probably Nutella.
So I'm not going to vote for any of the three. Lemme see what my other options are
Well, first of all,speedchuck wrote: ↑Mon Nov 20, 2017 7:53 pm (Basically I would think LC is scum but following such a stupid argument if he didn't genuinely see something in Epi is suicidal)
(And that's a town meta read on LC for me)
Votes nutella with little to no discussion beyond mentioning her Epi argument was the best one. Three minutes after saying he wasn't voting for her.
Extension of previous 'solid' opinions.speedchuck wrote: ↑Mon Nov 20, 2017 8:02 pmIf LC is town and Epi bad?Quin wrote: ↑Mon Nov 20, 2017 7:59 pmwhat about the other way around? if epi was bad.speedchuck wrote: ↑Mon Nov 20, 2017 7:58 pmAs scum?Quin wrote: ↑Mon Nov 20, 2017 7:57 pmyou telling me lc wouldn't argue with epi just for the shits an' giggles?speedchuck wrote: ↑Mon Nov 20, 2017 7:53 pm (Basically I would think LC is scum but following such a stupid argument if he didn't genuinely see something in Epi is suicidal)
(And that's a town meta read on LC for me)I'm not entirely sure, but I'd lean "no."
It's possible. LC would have basically cornered Epi out of luck, but it's more likely than LC being scum I think
speedchuck wrote: ↑Mon Nov 20, 2017 8:05 pmI get the first part. LC's initial argument is the suck. That's just Epi's way of defending against it.Jackofhearts2005 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 20, 2017 7:59 pm What do you think of Epi pretending to not understand the case against him and pretending LC slipped?
As for the slip, it makes Epi look bad because it's not a slip, as I already posted. I would be willing to vote Epi for this if I hadn't seen him use the same argument last time he and someone else were town/town arguers.
Aaaaand I should probably go verify that.
So in summary: Kinda get it, and eeegh it looks bad but might not be pending meta verification
I guess I'd say Epi and speedchuck aren't w/w from this post.speedchuck wrote: ↑Mon Nov 20, 2017 8:09 pm Eh, can't find it. I know I've seen that argument before, possibly from Epi. If it was in night vale, then
Epi's response to LC's pressure is a lot more damning than the initial stupid argument.
But this one feels like Jack and speedchuck could be.
Two out of three players he said he wasn't voting for are now his top suspects. More defense of me, and it's starting to really smell funny. Like, when he goes down and comes up bad, we can look back at posts like this and see a Bad Boy helping out his Bad Buddy.speedchuck wrote: ↑Mon Nov 20, 2017 8:13 pmspeedchuck wrote: ↑Mon Nov 20, 2017 7:52 pm I think the Epi train was formed out of nothing, and from now on, I'm going to pick two peeps not to lynch on D1 of every game and announce it to the world just to prove it.Might be less than random now, IDGAF
Lynch Epi or Nutella of the current options I guess. Jack I want to keep around (this is not the first game I've said this in [Might have been scum in the other game, don't remember]).
I really don't think LC is like this as scum.
Cristobal Colon (which I somehow missed in my tally of how no one got lynched) may have had to send in a lynch-stop without knowing which of the players in the "tie" were going to be lynched. It's conceivable that Civ Sloonei just saved baddie Jack, or vice-versa.Spacedaisy wrote: ↑Thu Nov 23, 2017 6:56 am Ok it was Jack and Sloonei tied with 5. I have been operating under the assumption that Nutella has a vote worth two based upon events from Day 1. If this is true, then Jack would actually have had six to Sloonei's five. This would then mean that either Jack is the role that survives its first death, he could be one of the two secret roles which we don't know the powers for, or he was protected by the Sutter Buttes and had his vote decreased by one, making it a tie that swung to Sloonei who then did not die.
I find it difficult to get past Sloonei seeming to think it was a waste of time to lynch him. His phrasing read to me like a hint at what would happen. I'll pull some quotes for examples.
This lynch leaves me with a distinctly bad impression of Jack. But there are two questions I need to have answered because they could be hidden factors at play if I have misunderstood them.
Marmot: Two questions. 1. When you say "Aconcagua will survive the first attempt on its life." does this apply to either lynch or NK, whichever comes first? Or does this only apply to NK?
2. If a lynch save has been used how will it be written?
These answers can impact my view of this latest non death.
Now I am off to pull the relevant Sloonei statements... then going to sleep.
1. I looked to see who the tied lynch was. I was posting with the intent to beat the lynch post, because missed-vote posts after the lynch are tainted. I knew it was tied, I knew it was Sloonei, and I suspected it was Jack, but wasn't really sure. So, I went to check to make sure I was at least fully informed of the lynch result.
Crap, if Jack comes back bad if he gets lynched, then I'm going to look really bad. "I WOULD HAVE voted him but didn't, but he got lynched and was bad, and I swear I would have helped, guys, right?"
This is really gonna throw 'em for a loop.
Nah, I still think he's probably bad, but I'll focus elsewhere for now because K2 said so.Spacedaisy wrote: ↑Wed Nov 22, 2017 6:26 pm@Long Con I don't know if you ever answered my question, do you now hold the belief that the back and forth between you and Epi was a misunderstanding?
Just glancing at Eloh's ISO to find her previously stated opinions of Quin and Sloonei... this post bugs me. Is that really "what mafia will do"? I feel like I could put a great many reasons baddies vote and put that at the beginning of the sentence.
I agree with this analysis, well done.Sloonei wrote: ↑Wed Nov 22, 2017 3:42 pmElohcin wrote: ↑Wed Nov 22, 2017 3:14 pm I kind of agree with epi on voting a low poster. Other than my suspicion of LC and my slight suspicion of nutella (half the time her posts crack me up and half the time I'm hinking wtf), I do think that the high posters seem to be civ and genuinely trying to help.Dom is the only low poster singled out as a clear suspect. The others are all nondescriptly placed in yellow. And then the claim that "the high posters seem to be civ" is somewhat contradicted by Quin and I being colored orange, and kyle being listed among the neutrals as well. You think this computes over here?

Possibility #1: Aconcagua was targeted with the kill.
Possibility #2: Chimborazo was targeted with the kill and borrowed Aconcagua ability that same night.
Possibility #3: Kilimanjaro was targeted with the kill and activated its ability that same night (which I hope isn't the case).
Possibility #4: Mont Blanc did the Tube Snake Boogie and one of the above also happened.
Possibility #5: Matterhorn ???
Possibility #6: Olympus Mons ???
Possibility #7: Wrekin, England is the only member of the team able to submit a kill, and he was asleep at the hill.
Am I missing any?
++++
Off-topic, but I noticed the roles used to say "Puncak Jaya may send a storm to another player each night" and that a storm was a silence or curse of choice. Either I am remembering wrong, or that was edited.![]()
If I were Kilimanjaro, I would have activated my ability last night. You never know how long you're going to last in a game, and I'd really feel silly if I got nightkilled with three protections in my pocket. I guess you think it's strategically better to wait until later game?
I would have a problem with a host who allowed a single inactive player to prevent the team from making a night 1 kill, because that's bullshit.
Why did you mention #4?![]()
Either I misread it the first time, or Kilimanjaro was edited too. My reaction reading it originally was, "If you activate your ability, you have effectively killed yourself, because now you don't have a vote." Now I see Kilimanjaro will have a vote worth one less for the following Day only. That's good news then.
I raise #7 because I've seen things like that before. In Street Fighter, only a certain member could kill each Night, and that kill rotated through the team. I realize that isn't the same thing, but an inactive teammate could have cost the team a kill.
Is #4 not a possibility? "Mont Blanc Tunnel - Blanc may switch two players, switching their targets as well as redirecting night actions targeted at one to the other." I just went down the roles and posted every conceivable circumstance.
Yeah, it said "silence or insanity of your choice" I believe.Epignosis wrote: ↑Wed Nov 22, 2017 10:27 am Nobody wants to discuss why it's Day 2 and everybody is still alive? Okay.
