It was a good result. Now that I see Llamas and Epigs role I do believe they had to find each other to activate and they did. I'm pretty sure we removed an active kill from the game.JaggedJimmyJay wrote:Well that's not the case I built at all but I guess it's a decent enough result.
If Epi and llama were both active then is there a reason to believe there are multiple baddie teams? I suppose the kill(s) tonight would be a decent indicator.

Why did you vote MM over LoRab then?Golden wrote:Also, I'd still vote lorab. People called her lynch wagon as though jay was getting saved but I wouldn't be at all surprised if some of the late jay voters were saving lorab.
I'm not one to judge gut based suspicion. I was just wondering if there was more to it. I certainly can accept this.Golden wrote:Not really sorry because it's so gut based and while away I can't go back and read world reborn to compare or anything.

Of course, I'm not exactly known as being good at reading you.
I have exactly no opinion on her at his point but I am thinking of doing a read on her posts because you brought her up.
I would also like to add I don't like that second line. It's a little non-committal scum like. I might do a read on you as well. I just wish you didn't have so many damn posts.
Linki it turned into three lol, the third one was less about why I think jay is civ but rather about the case others are making but it is true.
Two things?Golden wrote:Two thingsBlack Rock wrote:Black Rock wrote:Golden, why do you feel so strongly about JJJ?
1) his emotive response scans with my experience of civ jay who doesn't feel he has proper time to defend himself. Without the time and ability to defend himself as he would like, he gets frustrated at the suspicion. I haven't seen baddie jay much at all, but I remember the mafia champs final he seemed to handle suspicion much more calmly.
2) I still don't see why he would have moved the lynch away from llama yesterday, if bad. He drew attention to himself while leading the lynch by making a case on boomslang, when he could have been less loud and stuck with an existing suspicion with llama. Sure, jay survived, but still...
3) perhaps I don't understand the case on jay, but I haven't seen anything particularly compelling about the case on him.
I could well be wrong, if so mea culpa. I just don't think I am.

Boomslang wrote:I... kind of like this theory. It's just crazy enough to make sense, and I know I often find myself using the language of the group I'm talking with. Does this necessarily make him bad, though? I'm not pinged super hard either way. On the civ end, I like his pressure on Tranq and the way he's been skeptical of Mac throughout the game. On the mafia end, I don't like the way he's expressed support for off-wagon candidates and then circled back to the main wagon for all of the lynches thus far; feels just a touch too blendy.Ricochet wrote:I did a search of Dom's entire post and have found only a dozen of posts in which the word suspish appears. He himself has used it only once before, in Star Wars.
I now believe Dom is in team with someone who is inadvertedly influencing his word use during their private chatter.
Players who so far who used this word in this game are llama and LoRab.
GTH, I guess I'd say bad. The connection of "suspish" with Lorab, combined with his consistent but low levels of aggro toward her, could make the case for mafia teammates.
Why?DharmaHelper wrote:It is a fine opinion. I would just prefer something remotely tangible or thread related.Black Rock wrote:I think his opinion is valid.

Elohcin loves BTSC. She wouldn't quit if she had it. She'd be in there talking about...kids and bedspreads or some shit.

Yeah juliets, I'll definitely expand. Long story short: his grasp of my meta is eroded, and he made many of the same points erroneously in Trees Mafia. I doubt he simply failed to learn his lesson.

I just wanted to say that I didn't miss the vote yesterday, I was unable to vote at all.

This post is the first post that made me feel better about you, not perfectly better but it does help me evaluate a few of my thoughts.LoRab wrote:Just finished reading up. Will answer this before I go off to sleep. Will answer other things tomorrow. But this is a direct question and came at the end (I may have cut and copied a bunch of quotes to paste into a window to respond to during my read, and then forgot I did, and cut and pasted something else and lost that entire thing).Black Rock wrote:A question for LoRab before I go back and do what I said I would do... What do you think of HB defending you?
Quite honestly, I find it suspicious. I think your suspicion of me is misguided but honest. I believe that you honestly think that I'm bad--it's not like you to make that up. And you wouldn't do that against me. I think those points are BS. I know that you're wrong. But I think that it's coming from the right place. You may be bad, but your suspicion of me isn't evidence of that.
HB's posts, though, they feel like they're sucking up. He's being too nice about it, if that makes sense. And it's not like he knows me well enough to know how to read me. The more he defends me, the less good I feel about it. A civ, I think, wouldn't defend another civ that strongly because it would put targets on both of them. A baddie would defend a civ to gain credit. So, yeah, it makes me increasingly uneasy about him.

Here are the things BR said about Ricochet early in the game. Note these posts were interspersed with the posts about Lorab:

Your wrap-up post above seems like a genuine effort, but in the greater context of your ISO it can't be trusted as genuine. And your gimmick seems to have even fooled some of the players. Black Rock for instance made the point that as a baddie you wouldn't have a decent reason to call so much attention to yourself. I know the reason. To get as many people as possible to think just that, that you wouldn't be so "reckless" as a baddie to perform the way you have. I'm not perfect but I like to think I'm pretty decent at being able to tell the difference between civ WIFOM and mafia WIFOM, and you reek of the latter.
I was trying to stay out of the WIFOM of it all, your point is valid and maybe I shouldn't just chalk it up to crap non-baddie behaviour. He does make me want to vote him for his crap posts.

Do you have a stake in LoRabs survival? Are you absolutely sure she won't flip bad? I'm not, in fact I think she will flip mafia. I am interested in other avenues though, like JJJ and Tranq.

Considering LoRab was hardly even around for day 2, and that most of the case against her seems based on day 0 tone stuff, I think there are more interesting avenues to explore.
I'm going by my hosting. When he's in BTSC he is less involved in the thread.

Second Day in a row Tranq votes late and on the lynch train.
Fuzz missed his vote.
In addition, DH, Dom, Juliets, Mac, Blooper are also 2/2 on mislynches now.
Discuss.
Tranqs behaviour is starting to give me uncomfortable tingles. When Tranq plays a game he invests himself. If he's not investing in the thread it makes me think he's invested in BTSC.

And obviously zombies, duh
