I was full of shit. Made was one of my candidates to be Sonya Blade.

I wasn't a very good sonya blade tbh.. got dunya lynched..

My proudest moment of this game was immediately following Quin to start that dunya lynch train, which eventually lead to her going down over Simon.

That was a very crucial early game lynch. Taking out a loud civilian instead of a somewhat unreadable mafia member.

Why?

I knew you were Goro because I had two letters from your name (G and O). The only other role you could be at the time was Kung Lao, and when I asked you a bunch of questions about ties it was obvious you weren't that role. I had to cut into the mafia numbers to keep the game long enough for civilians to be night killed per my win condition. Another mislynch or two before the time was right would have lost the civilians and I the game simultaneously. The simultaneous suspicion in Fiddler on the Roof was just coincidental.

I was hoping to set myself up as a liaison of sorts between the mafia team and you, in that you would indicate who you needed dead, and we would kill them. But as I thought some amount of trust was being established, you instead turned around and pushed for my lynch.

Mafia is a game, I know. I find it hard to remind myself of that sometimes. At the time, I found it incredibly hard to justify the actions you were taking, and was bothered by your tone at times. But if I ever unjustly lashed out at you, I apologize. I don't recall if I did, but I did feel the urge to do so.

Jay, you were hellbent on trying to lynch me in this game (and coincidentally, also in Fiddler on the Roof).

Why?

We won?

We had 3 teammates lynched in a 2-day span? How often does that happen lol.

That nutella-Simon lynch really blew up in my face.

Voting DrWilgy to save my skin.

I have too many other things to do, so I doubt I'll have anything else to say the rest of the day. But I urge players to expand their search. There's 4 mafia left. I am not one of them.

Good luck fellow civilians!

No. I thought you were being an ass earlier in the day phase, to the point where I didn't want to play anymore.

Everything I do here is for Mafia purposes. I’ve no intention of trolling or being an ass.

You still come across as rude and smug. That's how I interpreted it.

I don't understand how anyone would trust or listen to you after that.

I would like to go ahead and point out that each of these 4 things are exactly true about you as well, the main difference being that Jay started suspecting you of having baddie motives about 2 phases earlier than you did for him.

Sure.

Except it was entirely consistent. He read me as civilian as recently as Night 4.

But when Day 6 rolled around, the only thing he's interested in is lynching me today. I asked him who he'd vote for if he wasn't voting for me, and he said that nova and Wilgy are uninspiring cases he'd go to next.

Jay has an agenda, that much should be clear.

I DON’T LIE!

Marmot, please look at me with a straight face, or at least look at my avatar with a straight face, and tell me that this post indicates a hunch Glorfindel has. It's just a hunch. Long Con is a civilian read. That's where he leans. He isn't sure.

In a game where info-dropping is against the rules, I don't see any reason to accept what someone says without a reason. Even if it's Glorfindel. Even if he doesn't lie. If he actually knows Long Con's alignment, role, or whatever, it's not like he can come into the thread and confirm it.

But like I said before, that thought didn't cross my mind when Glorfindel said that. My assumption was that Long Con did something such that Glorfindel reacted that way. I wanted to know what it was.

Wilgy or novaselinenever would be agreeable enough lynches, even if not nearly as well-inspired.

I would cast them into the pit of "don't have much of an opinion on" due to their recent lack of content.

Long Con wrote: ↑Mon Jan 29, 2018 12:44 am Marmot, why do you think I'm bad?

You helped lynched nutella, I'm displeased with that.

You've had more to say about myself and Jay the past couple days than any other topic (and very little to say about other topics). I don't mean for our discussion to take the front seat, but I'm fighting for my life.

Jay came in after the Day 4 lynch and said you and lap are civilians. I don't believe it, or anything he says at this point. I think that was a bold misdirect from him.

Jackofhearts2005 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 28, 2018 11:11 pm Jimmy states that Marmot only pushed on unconvincable Nutella voters: Lap, Glor, Made.

Other Nutella voters: Simon (also unconvincable), Wilgy (has only stated a reason for one of his votes and is very likely bad), Nova (has only stated reasoning for one of his votes and is very likely bad) and LC.

So basically, Marmot ignored...just LC.

I find the "targeted fake plea" arguement unconvincing.

The "fake plea cause too little too late" is more convincing.

If one of Jay or Marmot is Kano, I still think it is Jay.

I didn't ignore any of them.

I called out every single one of them except for Simon.

If you think it's nonsense, why are you so persistant about it?

I've offered a few reads already recently. Lapluie, Long Con, and Made are my strongest scumreads (not necessarily in that order), I would lynch you for my own self-preservation and ability to focus energy elsewhere, and I think Jack should live.

JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Sun Jan 28, 2018 8:38 pm No. You were aware that it wasn’t about “a piece of in-thread evidence”. He made it pretty obvious. There’s no way you were trying to actually communicate with him, certainly not at the last minute when he was forced to scream to get his point across.

If you insist on carrying out this nonsense argument you might as well provide reads on everybody else too.

You brought up this nonsense point in the first place.

You asked me why I thought, said, and did what I did, then are telling me that's not what I thought, said, or did. Who are you trying to convince? I know why I asked what I asked, I'm the one who asked it in that specific situation. Yes, I probably should have considered other reasons for his behavior, but it didn't cross my mind in that moment. My assumption was that he said what he did based on something that happened in the thread because that's the spirit of the game that I'm used to.

I don't appreciate the way you've framed that EoD.

I also don't appreciate what you're doing right now. You've asked me questions, made accusations, and put an inaccurate twist on what I said. I will defend against them because you're wrong. I would not insist on continuing this argument if you weren't persisting so hard to portray my alignment based on your interpretation of what I said.

I also don't appreciate your beef with me in general. I don't know why you want to lynch me so damn bad. I don't understand your motives, nor do I trust your behavior at all. These are not the droids you're looking for.

Your case is built on brusque, curt, and aggressively short statements. Indy Jay is clearly a different type of Jay.

I don't see why any in-thread statement like that should be trusted at face-value. I thought he was being overtly confident based on his belief. Assuming Glorfindel knew what Long Con's alignment is, I didn't think he would come into the thread stating as such. Yes Glorfindel was basically a civilian, but that doesn't mean he's right. Remember when nutella was lynched because we followed a dead civilian's plea to want her? He was wrong. We were wrong.

What my case is made of is meaningless. You didn’t think Glorfindel was making a “read” on LC. You literally asked him what he knew that you did not. Please tell me exactly how Glorfindel is supposed to answer that question within these rules.

It's called a case. A piece of in-thread evidence that can be pointed to that says "Hey, here's why this guy is what he is".

That's why I thought Glorfindel was defending Long Con the way he was. That's the answer I expected. I wanted a reason to agree with him, not to listen to what the words that he said.

I don't see how "ignore the pleas of the man who never lies" is either a strategy or a play style. It's a refusal to heed the words of someone you claim to trust when it matters most. That's yuck.

I don't really buy that he "wanted" people to vote for Simon. He was making that request of players who had said all day phase long that they were voting for nutella and not Simon. It was pointless.

I think we have to agree to disagree, sorry. I definitely see a marmot playstyle in your case-part 1. And in part 2, it seems like a civ marmot who is really sees a civ nutella and wants people to vote for Simon instead. It's like your process of elimination crap. He saw that he trusted nutella more and so he wanted people to vote Simon. EVERYONE who did not vote for Simon, voted for Nutella. Who was he going to ask other than those who had decided they were voting nutella? Deadies cannot vote, non-players cannot vote.

Honestly...I 100% am scared out of my mind right now because I hate defending people so hard in games because I know it can come back to bite me in the ass. But I have to call bullshit on your claims against marmot. I think they are stupid and feel like it's my responsibility to tell you so.

I mean... I had no reason not to vote Simon.

I wasn't paying attention most of the day. I entered the thread near the end of the day, saw the tally, and made a move.

I was not targeting any specific players with my requests. I asked everyone on the nutella wagon to move.

what in the world?

Jay usually gets what he wants because he's a good mafia player.

if jay truly is indie then he doesn't need to be lynched or "destroyed". his death doesn't help us get closer to wincon and he is a possible ally at times. with the way things are going he's more likely to achieve his wincon by helping civs anyways since whittling down the mafia allows for more night kills and deaths overall that might end up snagging his two specified civilian marks.

There's likely four mafia left. It'd be quicker to mislynch a couple non-mafia then it would be to lynch four actual mafia.

Additonally, if Jay's accurate in his mafia guesses, he's more likely to be nightkilled.


Do I think Jay needs to be lynched? No, I think that's counter-productive too. But the man wants my head, so of course I want him destroyed.

Fine with me.

After Tony was lynched, Jay came out of that asserting that myself, Simon, and nutella were mafia. He also claimed that you and Long Con, the two counter-lynches, were civilian. I don't buy those claims.

Also this ongoing "Glorfindel doesn't lie" motto has been taken out of context. I said it early in the game, because Glorfindel doesn't lie about his own alignment. That this sort of behavior transfers to every word he says is opportunistic.

I don't really care about defending myself. He should burn, and so should his allies.
