We just couldn't get town on the right same page for any length of time. malakim, Sloonei, Jay, and Simon all seemed genuine to me at various points in the game for way longer than you all should have otherwise. Well deserved for sure.

A wonderful return game, Epi, so thank you, and thanks to all of the rest of the thread for dealing with my insane and, as usual, wrong posts.

Dammit, MP, I told you to never trust JJJ! #neverforgettransistor

I'm really not. I'm just lazy/busy this game, I swear.

Yassssssss

Let's try this again. I do plan to be back later, though.

- Jay is almost certainly cleared of being mafia the way he went after Sloonei while he was in the game. Having been a baddie with Jay I cannot see him applying so much heat to his teammate when unnecessary on Day 1.

Clearly (and conveniently), you do not recall Transistor. This is way too bold of a statement for JJJ's play.

You bunch of vultures

However the heck that happened, yay!

Okay. So votes are changeable and whatnot, so things can change (regarding everyone's votes, not just mine, so I feel better being an outlier earlier). I see Eloh has the most votes, and she's on my suspect list, mostly because of really weird tunneling suspicions against me, and commentary made by others (esp. malakim) regarding these weird suspicions. But what gives me pause is these "weird" suspicions of me remind me of the "weird" stuff that Epi picks out to suspect people, and he catches them. A lot of semantics and wording and even timing stuff. But he does it as a baddie and a civ, so there's that. Anyway, Eloh could be channeling the husband this game, going where no one else goes, which is why I said I liked the deduction she's doing.

I'm more comfortable voting MP. As I read his posts and his repeated "I can't read so-and-so" and waffly votes/suspicions, it makes me more comfortable with my ping from Day 1.

Now, I'd like to relax and play video games. And maybe read. But probably video games. Replaying Paper Mario 2, if you must know

HAH just noticed my top three suspects voted Dom. Hrrrrmmm. Unlikely that they'd all do that as mafia.

(Told you I was behind. Will remain behind forever, probably.)

Well,' I can never read Elo for shit but even though I thought she was lying to me at first when interacting with her in real time EoD d3 I eventually came around and the combinationof her weird Blooper suspicion, her thoughts re: giving up, etc seemed more genuine than not. I'm listeningthpugh, I'm wavering on it honestly, even if I still would barely call her more town than not right now.

I'm at dinner right now, I'll be very limited basically I'll probably not be able to catch up.

This is the sort of waffly stuff you've been repeating (especially regarding Eloh) that makes me suspect you. But that's also somewhat dependent on her alignment.

I should be more specific: the phrase "I can never read Eloh..."

I don't normally take this bait, but this sort of deduction is hella more appealing than reading the pages I missed immediately. I've at least had a skim of most and page reads here and there today and yesterday when I could find time.

Better reasons for some than others, but you said no thinking

speedchuck wrote: ↑Wed Aug 30, 2017 6:41 pm Eloh. You are not crazy. But please explain how this makes Blooper scummy? Why would scum be any more likely to have this particular inconsistency than town?

It's easy to look for inconsistencies in posts and point at them and say "THAT'S SCUM BEHAVIOR" but it isn't always. Blooper clearly wasn't looking to buy herself some time, or they wouldn't have come back to generate content. Blooper wasn't lying about reads or making excuses for scummy behavior.

Far as I can tell, Blooper either took a powernap, had some thoughts about mafia after waking, and soon posted them. Or maybe after laying in bed for a few minutes Blooper felt more refreshed.

I'm not saying that it isn't weird. I am trying to figure out why scum would claim to take a nap and then post in forty minutes.

. . .

And it took this long for me to realize you were implying the existence of a BTSC team. I'll have to reread the post and see if the opinions looked like Blooper's. Lol. Posting this anyway.

^^ This, precisely. Power nap, thoughts together, skimming, reading. I didn't read a lot after the nap. I literally read Sloonei's post. But I like the deduction, Eloh (and your tunneling isn't making me mad, FYI! It's just misguided, I promise )

Elohcin wrote: ↑Tue Aug 29, 2017 9:27 pm I still think niju could be bad fornsame reasons as before. And qhen I calles her on it, her whole mood changed for her moat recent posts.....

I'll catch up more today (hopefully), but I did want to make a point about this - when I was "bubbly" and active, it was a Sunday afternoon/evening, when I had finished all of my work stuff and had no obligations (and perhaps a little...beverage help ). This is the first full week of school for us, and I'm loaded up with stuff this year, so I'm definitely not as active throughout the week, and I'll be back to doing mega-catch up posts most likely instead of quick, conversational posts in real time. Such is the teacher life.

As for last night, I was genuinely pissed (and still am a bit) at, as I said, some game-unrelated family crap that happened in the evening and was in no mood for playing. Honestly, perhaps playing this game would've made me feel better about the whole thing, because I didn't sleep well last night because of it.

Anyway, I'm at work and should probably get to it, but I'll check back in later provided no other stupid crap prevents it . Voting for me based on my moods is not the way to go - I'm going to be a whirlwind for the next, oh, year or so.

Argh. I'm mad about game-unrelated shit that just happened and I need to take the damned night off to cool off. I'll just read what I can later when I'm in a conducive and better mood. Sorry, y'all.

In this post you mention some vague unnamed people at whom you are looking, but you never mention any of these people by name. Can you point to anybody who is or was playing with this particular low-key style?

MovingPictures07 wrote: ↑Sun Aug 27, 2017 8:40 pmOkay, cool.

I don't feel great about lurker voting on Day 1, but it's what I feel most comfortable with at this juncture. I'm still open to being persuaded though.

Whom would you vote if you couldn't vote for Bass or another lurker with me?

Probably either JJJ or speed for the votes on Sloonei for the Dhalsim thing. I'm wary of voting that way for the "look at me, I'm standing out on Day 1!" reasons I stated earlier. I want more info, and I like that playing is happening and want to keep it that way for today.

This seems to be the exact opposite of your previously stated line of thought. Whereas you'd previously stated that you're wary of people who don't stand out on Day 1, here you seem to be saying that you are wary of players for standing out too much on Day 1. Which is it? Or are you just wary of anything with a pulse around here?

also i'll point out again that Jay certainly did not vote for me because of what I had to say about Dhalsim, so it strikes me as odd that you would state a suspicion based on something that didn't actually happen. Could you clarify or elaborate on elaborate on what you mean here?

Nap complete. Saw votes on me, then saw a post referring back to this, so I shall respond in this bit of time.

First point: I was referring to no one specifically at the time - my plan was to wait and see who would pop in and out of the water throughout the day, but then my vote ended up on Bass because I wanted to feel out MP's vote and because I didn't like the votes on you and wasn't gonna vote that way.

Second point: you misunderstand my meaning in that sentence, but I see where the ambiguity lies in my wording - I was referring to my desire not to vote for players who stand out, twice. I didn't like their votes on you because they voted precisely the reason/way I DIDN'T want to vote. And I am aware JJJ didn't vote bc of the Dahlsim matter - once again, I was referring to voting for a stand out, but it looks as though I lumped them both together for the same voting reason.

I hope that makes sense, but I can explain it differently if my thoughts need clearing up.

Shit, I nearly forgot I was playing this. I need a nap and gotta get several things done before I can catch up. Sorry for practically disappearing for a day or so - work was stupid busy yesterday and today.

A distinct possibility. Only LC voting for EHonda really stood out as an odd choice.

I voted for Long Con. E. Honda is fat. I don't like him. Long Con likes fat fighters?

To see if it mattered to you which low poster you wanted to vote for.

Sigh. It does matter a little. Bass has a solid history of lurking well into the late stages of the game. DF definitely does not, and I know he lives here in San Antonio with me and Daisy so his reasons for missing the game could be Harvey-related. I suppose I could join you though if you had a real solid preference. I'd rather be consolidated in the end, but I do have a distinct preference for Bass over DF or any low poster for the reasons previously expressed.

Nah, don't really have a solid preference. Hopefully they're both all right, too!

That's fair. Do you feel like speed and Jay are equally suspicious for their votes?

More or less.

I don't feel my behavior is at all noncongruent with what an old me would do or that I need time to get used to the game. I don't think any of the current floated suspects are worth my vote for various reasons I've spoken for at length, and that makes me seem scummy?

Nah, you just feel all over the place. You're either trying to be helpful, trying to be helpful for yourself to get your thoughts out, or trying to appear helpful. You've done similar things with this behavior as a baddie in the past. (Alas, I do not remember which games precisely at the moment, nor am I going to look them up ATM, since I don't intend to vote you today, anyway.)

Hey MP, what's RVS? I haven't seen that one.

Everyone is normal in Street Fighter. Perfectly normal.

Why is this a big deal considering that the vote did nothing?

Unless you know something we don't

"Big deal"? Hardly. I just like the bantering period, and am said it ended before I had a chance to get in on it.

I don't like the vote for Sloonei because of his Dhalsim comment. Dude IS alien-like, and as I was reading more about him earlier for shits and giggles, the article even made a reference to someone in-game calling him an alien, lol.

Tempted to vote low/no poster. Because. But I'm also gonna read again and keep reading to do better than that, I suppose.
