I am committing right now to the stance of "there's no point in me reading you until I've seen you do anything other than tunnel on me, so ask me later once you've done anything other than that and I will probably have a better answer"

Re: Fiddler on the Roof Mafia
sloonei what is the purpose of this question? I've already outlined my view on you. I thought you looked bad because of the way you climbed on to Jay's thing. I'm acknowledging that my view on you could have been tinted by a bias created by my sometimes overly defensive nature. Nothing's changed in your behavior to swing you back in either direction so that's why you're yellow, a gun to head read on you right now would be arbitrary.

The most pressing question emerging from this then would be: Epignosis, why won't you be voting for me today?
I disagree that any player should get an automatic pass on Day 1, just because they're a shitty lynch.
If you're building a roof (presumably for someone to fiddle on), and you've hired sixteen men to build it, but you are informed that three of those men are intent on destroying the roof, whom do you fire first?
Is it somebody whom you see working very hard on the construction, or someone who looks like he doesn't care about the roof?
If you fire the first guy first, and he wasn't planning to destroy the roof, then you've lost a good worker on the basis of the least evidence. If you fire the second guy, then you've lost someone who...looks like he doesn't care about the roof.
This isn't a job where you need to earn an income and keep a solid reputation for your roofing company.
This isn't a one-time situation where we need to make the best decision possible for the sake of the company. Each "roof" we are building is independent of each other "roof"
If Player X is a bad mafia player who puts his foot in his mouth and looks bad every game, will we lynch him Day 1 every game? No.
If you think Jay is worth lynching, why wait to lynch him? Why would you bring it up as a decent notion (for not Day 1) if Jay is "working very hard on the construction" and not "planning on destroying the roof"?

Re: Fiddler on the Roof Mafia
I think we should expand the lynch pool a little.
I hate to stoke his ego but, despite everything else, Jay is still enough of an asset when he's civ that I think he warrants more than a day of critique before lynching.
Even if we do end up lynching him I think it would be healthy to use this time to discuss a few more players as well.

2nd question, why 12 hours?JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Thu Jan 18, 2018 1:53 pmYes. 12 hours passed and nothing was happening. I took it upon myself to change that. I had no immediate evidence that someone else was going to do the same. Perhaps someone would have -- "perhaps" isn't good enough for me. I did what I thought was necessary.Long Con wrote: ↑Thu Jan 18, 2018 1:50 pm There's obviously plenty of evidence to the contrary, Jim. It feels ridiculous to have to say it, but I can go back a decade to see hundreds of games where someone did something on Day 1 that 'started it up' in that way. Most of them didn't contain you. At least half the people in this game have been responsible for getting things going with some daring push or pushy dare.
So, is this really your honest opinion?

Re: Fiddler on the Roof Mafia
you keep saying "clear cut bad look" that's not true at all. I used "if, then" statements and when Kyle brings out the "if, then" statements you know shit's seriousSloonei wrote: ↑Thu Jan 18, 2018 12:12 pmI didn't feel like his response to your fake tell was authentic, he was more combative/dismissive than productive (this was what I hoped to highlight in my single-word case against him), and the development of his read on you appeared incongruous (jumping from a clear cut "bad look" to "NAI" when you explained yourself). I'm also unclear on his read on me and the way it has progressed.
I was angry. Like I was definitely angry, but my view on Jay at the time was ultimately contingent on what he did with his thrown brick. If he just left it there and let me die, then that would have been a huge red flag. Instead he into my house and swept the broken glass up and then started using the opening in shattered window to throw bricks at other players.
That so far is not alignment indicative. The thing I think may be alignment indicative is Jay's implication that throwing bricks should be alignment indicative cus he would be less likely to throw bricks as mafia. I think that insistence may be alignment indicative.

Re: Fiddler on the Roof Mafia

I think Jay's presented attitude that his civvie meta would be a burden for his team as mafia is sandbagging and his insistence that he would never do it seems false. Adopting something into your civvie-ness meta means you *have* to add it to your mafia meta, and I think Jay knows that.
the thread is bound to accelerate at some point even without Jay's interference so why wouldn't it be beneficial for jay to be the one to accelerate it? It's not about town credit or whatever it's about pragmatic choices and wearing the mask. It's about avoiding the inevitable "thread is quiet and jay hasn't thrown shit today, isn't that weird? maybe he's not as interested in finding mafia as usual for some reason"
Jay's insistence that he would never use that tactic as mafia is what bothers me the most, because it seems like a necessity more than an option.

Re: Fiddler on the Roof Mafia
It's alright.
well to summarize it, I expect Sloonei to ride around on his bike throwing rocks in people's spokes. Always trying to get their wheels to skip, to see if their mafia baseball cards fall out of their pockets. Similar to how early Jay operates but with a different composure and also his name is blue. He puts out his tentacles and feels shit out, asks people probing questions, gets people involved when they aren't involved. That's how I see him at least.I would like to eventually know what those things are, because it would help me to believe this statement is real.
I haven't seen those things yet.

Re: Fiddler on the Roof Mafia
but my problem with it is the implication that there is ever any risk associated with your day 0 meta at all, regardless of alignment.JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Thu Jan 18, 2018 2:05 amThe proposed strategy of intentionally blowing this thread up just to look like civilian Jay is crap, because I am not going to earn sufficient credit for doing so to offset the disadvantage I place myself and my teammates in by igniting the game thread
the disadvantage to yourself is negligible because if you do the same risky thing every game no one is going to call you out on it, cus it's familiar.
and... the disadvantage to the mafia is also questionable. discussion has to start sometime, and it has to start somewhere. Civ Jay picks anyone, it doesn't matter who. Conversation spreads like cracks in the ice and like yes this is definitely a disadvantage for the mafia. But... mafia Jay picks a random player that's not on their team, draws attention to them and away from his teammates, this is a completely free advantage for the mafia since Jay won't draw attention for it cus he's just doing what he always does.

Re: Fiddler on the Roof Mafia
okay but here's the thing? a town Kyle wouldn't and a town Kyle didn't.Sloonei wrote: ↑Thu Jan 18, 2018 1:51 amAll I meant was that your reaction is not indicative of a partnership with Jay because you appeared genuinely unnerved by it. But, since you asked, I think a town kyle would have reacted more calmly and understood Jay's tactic to just be a conversation starter and not a bogus smear campaign directed at kyle to get kyle lynched on Day 1.
a town Kyle and a hypothetical mafia Kyle share the same knowledge so why would a hypothetical mafia Kyle be less likely to understand Jay's intentions than a civ Kyle
a town Kyle reacted with paranoia because a town Kyle thought that Jay might have bad or shady intentions with his thing.
a mafia Kyle would have had contextual knowledge of Jay's alignment and would be able to figure out his intentions easier.

You haven't created as many unique lines of unique inquiry in this game as I'm used to seeing. You've explained why that might be. That has to be the conclusion to this topic because I can't actually tell if that will continue to be true unless I shut up and let you hunt
"i can see where he's coming from" is neutral in that it's generally positive but it's also an easy thing to fake or used to push a bad agenda.No, but I asked you about him and you gave a favorable description but a null read. I wanted to note it and see if there was more to be mined there.

at the time of my complaints it wasn't 'what you do every time' you threw a fake large and confident suspicion at me and then left. your usual meta is a small read "tink is good, can anyone tell me why" followed by sticking around to analyze.JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Wed Jan 17, 2018 9:12 pmHis question is a good one. If what I did was "what I do every time", then that means you have to know and understand a civilian motivation that doesn't require me to have really believed what I was saying.
it wasn't on-brand til you came back and admitted to the lie

he came back and actually branched off from his large brick toss with a few smaller brick tosses, it's a different tactic

Re: Fiddler on the Roof Mafia
Jay's actions so far have been NAI to me. He does this every time. He's built a pattern for himself. It stands to reason that he would also do the same thing if he was mafia trying to replicate that pattern.

Re: Fiddler on the Roof Mafia
You're always talking about winning as if it's something important. At the end of the day we're all just internet friends who play a silly children's game online and take it way too seriously.JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Wed Jan 17, 2018 8:26 pmI don't mean to ruin your fun Kyle. Just know that earning your respect is not always the same thing as promoting a winning game thread environment.
Regardless, I get what you were doing now and since it turns out wasn't the most shitty thing possible, I'm not really mad any more.

Re: Fiddler on the Roof Mafia
I don't necessarily believe that original means better.
I think feeling a need to have an original but also still negative take on me seems like it could be a not good look. it's a ping at the least

Re: Fiddler on the Roof Mafia
There was no discussion, and it was honestly bothering me but making an accusation, posting a weird silly science man and running away isn't the best way to achieve it.JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Wed Jan 17, 2018 7:56 pmPlease tell me about the discussion that was happening in this game thread before I threw a brick at your face.
you are ridiculous.JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Wed Jan 17, 2018 8:06 pmIt was poop. Kyle is a quality Mafia player and isn't likely to have some glowing beacon of a tell which shows itself in the first three posts.
I'm still mad but at least I'm laughing now.

Re: Fiddler on the Roof Mafia
I'm just tired. I don't like or respect what Jay is doing here no matter what his motive is.
The two players who stuck out to me in their jump-on were LC and FZ
Um well since the only discussion so far has been about me I guess I'd start by looking into how players reacted to Jay's thing.
The two players who stuck out to me in their jump-on were LC and FZ
FZ takes an oddly middle ground point of view before it's strictly necessary or even really sensible, then provides an additional somewhat stretchy reason to suspect me, it seems awkward and almost tacked on, like jumping on a bandwagon earlier while ensuring that there's viable reason to believe that it's FZ's idea.FZ. wrote: ↑Wed Jan 17, 2018 6:14 pm Hi, sorry for coming in late.
How's everyone doing?
I love Fiddler on the roof, but haven't seen it in years. Nice to play a game with that theme.
Kyle, have we ever played together?
I have to say, I read most posts up until the following one. Unlike JJJ, I found nothing wrong with Kyle, but then I read this post, and it felt like a frustrated baddie annoyed by what he perceives as too much civvie power, though he can't really say it, so it comes out in a different way, because, well, he can't help himself.
Kylemii wrote: ↑Wed Jan 17, 2018 2:07 pm I really don't think we're going to be starved for information in this game anyways, out of the gate we have a btsc cop, a role cop, a role blocker, and a doctor who can gain btsc with 1 of 3 different civ roles, one of which is the previously mentioned role cop, we also have a soapbox user and a mayor.
the number of roles we have that can stimulate the information economy seems pretty good.
LC picks out the specific part of my response that supports his point despite the fact that the part he cropped out makes his point of agreement less meaningful.Long Con wrote: ↑Wed Jan 17, 2018 3:55 pm Civvie BTSC is the most powerful thing... or at least Civvie-Civvie knowledge. Confirming Civs is one of the best things we can do to win the game.
This section is sketchy, Kyle, it reads like it's written by someone with a mafia alignment. "you've never even seen me play as mafia before" implies you're mafia now, and the statement that there's "not enough to build correlation from" implies that there could be enough at some point, but if you're Civ, then the idea would be that "correlation is impossible because I'm not bad."

Re: Fiddler on the Roof Mafia
sloonei do you have any suspects in this thread other than me? do you think allowing the thread to focus on one player is a positive choice?

second of all you've never even seen me play as mafia before, the only player in recent history who has is dunya and even then it was just one game under unique circumstances, not enough to build correlation from

In this game I've comfortably talked about musicals with people I already know, and in that game (I think?) I spent the first several of my posts trying to get to know the players on that site. I'm like 60% sure Jay is just making things up to prod for reactions but if not then he's wrong and his basis is flawed. If there really is a parallel Jay sees then it's 100% just a coincidence and not caused by alignment-bias.nutella wrote: ↑Wed Jan 17, 2018 3:29 pmboom rektJaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Wed Jan 17, 2018 1:12 pmSo you recognize the parallel then?Kylemii wrote: ↑Wed Jan 17, 2018 1:11 pm okay so you think a 48 hour long game with teens who kept being terrible dicks to each other is going to be indicative of how I play in a real game as mafia?

Everyone please do me a solid favor and describe yourselves in terms of playstyle in whatever level of detail you feel is necessary. It's important.
It's nice to meet you all.
I opened with "let's go" in vocaroo as well, and a few other games I think.
Is that it? My next few posts in that thread were to make excuses for being late to the thread and to call people out for being shitty and rude to each other, and to ask people about their usual meta. I haven't done any of those things so it has to be the "let's go" right? :-?

If you're really just making this up then it's not a cool tactic. If you legitimately think I have a tell then sure fine whatever, everyone's wrong sometimes, but if not then you have to take responsibility for it. Promise me.
