Re: Pokemon Mafia [ENDGAME]

I really did have a lousy game. I fell behind early and life was so stinking busy the second half of this game. I probably should have known better than to sign up but sometimes I just can't help myself.

Re: Pokemon Mafia [Night 9]

I am not known to be a good civvie player most of the time. Unless I have an info-gathering role, my record isn't so hot. My brain is telling me that DDL makes sense as the baddie. Those crumbs don't add up to the whole cookie missing from the cookie jar but my spreadsheet, my brain, my gut, and my heart are telling me that he is the right choice for today. That forces a tie. Boo is going to have to make a choice now.

If I am wrong, well done to the baddie and my apologies to the rest of you.

I'm heading to the beach. I may not check this until tomorrow. I hope we win. Until then, everybody polka-mon!

Something that makes me feel somewhat good is that if G-Man was not my teammate he would have dropped a vote on me as well and that'd be that.

I can't tell if DDL insisting that Boo is civilian is just a matter of disagreement with me, or a forced perspective. I think Boo has outright told us he's not civilian.

Boo also being a pro-town 3rd party also means that those possible lies of DDL's that boo pointed out are genuine reads.

If G-Man is bad, you are cruel for not voting for me.

Re: Pokemon Mafia [Day 7]

It all comes down to this for me. I can't help it.


G-Man's Suss List, Which Was Called Dumb By Sprityo:
Fredwood
Neverwhere
Nutella
Sprityo
Tink
Sprityo's Preferred Lynch List:
Boo
Quin/Dom
DrWilgy
Dyslexicon
Eloh
G-Man
People Sprityo Omitted From His List:
DFaraday
Dragon D. Luffy
Long Con
MacDougall
The circumstances of DFaraday's lynch made DrWilgy look pretty good. It makes no sense for both baddies to vote each other. Had DrWilgy been lynched, I doubt it would have quelled the momentum against DFaraday. You can argue that Faraday had to vote for Wilgy out of the appearance of self-preservation but what a risk to take!

DDL has tiny crumbs that make me go :ponder: He saw nothing wrong with Jack's N1 NK when I saw it as a mistake. Sure, it can be rationalized that Jack wasn't really being suspected at that point but neither were most of us. It could also be that Jack was killed because he came around and said he didn't think DDL was mafia just because of their back-and-forth. If the baddies see the dissolution of a civ-on-civ feud, it might make sense to kill part of it off. Or, baddie DDL could have killed Jack before he had the chance to take a second pass at DDL.

But would Sprityo be so reckless as to omit both of his teammates from a preferred kill list? I know I would probably hide one in my preferred list because it looks good later. But would Sprityo?

Re: Pokemon Mafia [Night 9]

I hate being the last one to vote in such crucial situations.

Boo still gets a pass from me for the DFaraday lynch. If he's mafia, he is a conniving cut-throat and he engaged in one of the hardest busses I've ever seen to gain strategic advantage. If he's MewBoo, as you suggest, then I don't know what comes next.

DDL still pings me for a lot of little reasons. I have to try to piece them back together to see if they make sense.

As for you, my dear Wilgy, I've forgotten what moved you from my sus list. Yesterday I was eyeing DDL and Quin. I need to go back and find what cleared you for me and revisit that line of thought.

I won't be voting for Boo and I can't vote for myself, so I need to figure you two out. In the next three-ish hours. During a crazy busy work day. While also distracted by thoughts of my approaching vacation. Tough stuff.

Re: Pokemon Mafia [Night 9]

I'm desperate now. I just googled the four remaining pokemon left to see if there's anything useful there. DDL, you may need to steer me straight on this.

TORCHIC *fire* {ground, water, rock}
COMBUSKEN *fire, fighting* {psychic, flying, ground, water}
BLAZIKEN *fire, fighting* {psychic, flying, ground, water}

-----------------------

IGGLYBUFF *normal, fairy* {poison, steel}
JIGGLYPUFF *normal, fairy* {poison, steel}
WIGGLYTUFF *normal, fairy* {poison, steel}

-----------------------

MEWTWO *psychic* {dark, bug, ghost}

-----------------------

INKAY *psychic, dark* {fairy, bug}
MALAMAR *psychic, dark* {fairy, bug}


So basically, Torchic might not be weak to anyone left but Combusken and Blaziken are weak to both Mewtwo and Inkay/Malamar (both psychic). Iggly/Jiggly/Wiggly isn't weak to anyone. Mewtwo is weak to Inkay/Malamar (psychic). Inkay/Malamar is weak to Iggly/Jiggly/Wiggly (fairy).

But... we don't know if/how this factors into our game, so did I just waste my time?

Re: Pokemon Mafia [Night 9]

Intriguing. I'd have figured that Boo would be killed if DDL is the last baddie. Perhaps it's an attempt to make us doubt Boo as a civvie. Regardless, this kill gets rid of a likely DDL vote, which might net another split vote.

Is it DDL trying to give himself a sporting chance?

Or could it be Boo trying to make himself look even more civ via wifom (why kill someone who can help you win?)?

Or is it Wilgy trying to orchestrate a guaranteed mislynch between me and DDL?

Oh the humanity. Oh the tinfoil! :omg:

I think Dyslexicon might be the least bad choice of the bunch. Even if we're wrong, the game isn't over and the last baddie can't keep Dyslexicon around as a potentially missing vote for the next day. That way the baddie has to win against nothing but players who have been present all game long. Clearing the non-participant smokescreen will even the playing field and make it a battle of wits.

We could always vote for Dyslexicon. If we're wrong, at least we'll have talkers left. That doesn't help with Neverwhere though. She talks, just not much. With it being 5v1v1, we could be at risk of Day 9 being the final day. Any way you slice it, being wrong today still leaves a lot of questions for tomorrow.

Re: Pokemon Mafia [Day 8]

I'm expressing surprise at the notion that we may all actually vote finally. This game has been nightmare.

Also, Golden the Coward ;) subbed into Economics and hit the ground running. His tenacity to read and understand made him seem good when we were trying to find the last baddie- him. Hitting a game mid-stream is great cover for a baddie because it takes forever to build up the kind of content required for people to form opinions about you. You also get the benefit of the doubt because you have to catch up on a deeper level. In other words, you may have earned a seat on the back burner as a baddie. By the time I caught on to Golden the Coward, we had maybe 10 minutes left to vote and I had posted in pics and memes all game, so I got lynched at Lylo and the baddies won.

If I move Neverwhere to a yellow color, I am left looking at DDL, Dyslexicon, and Quin. Of the three, I feel like Dyslexicon or Quin could be the final baddie. Dyslexicon disappeared sometime during Night 1, not to be seen again for ages. Dom was absent until Quin took over mid-game, a-la Golden the Coward 2.0 in Economics Mafia.

I saw some things about LC and speed being tossed around too. LC mostly, like nutella was against boo on his whole concept, which is correct. but i think why i keep seeing the names together is how he discusses with speedchuck a sort of vote alliance thing for tonight. and.... thats really it? not much else i can go on, he's essentially same level as nutella in terms of what he's doing. only nutella has been more argumentative about it and LC was taking pot shots here and there.

Speedchuck, starts out with some nice pro-towny things. he at least talks about it and not too much (which in retrospect makes him look better than how jack was arguing it) but thats because theres not much. and then he just kinda misses out and asks for a recap, so eh.

and then i wanted to cover jack since i just HAVE to, being he is who he is. we've gotten quite the "friendship". (i also just realized this post is half the people on my list, hmph. interesting) So overall jack actually.... looks good. i mean his disagreement with DDL wasnt a two sided thing, they both have their reasons. i would side with DDL on it based my personal opinion since having all vanilla towns is lame. but jack makes some decent posts in his actual banter, and he also throws down his opinions of people which is more than a lot of players have put out (then again it's day 1 and i can relate that it's hard to get reads sometimes)

I think that should be good, in retrospect, if i was to go into my list of 6, the other three, Dom, Mac, and DrWilgy, well i couldnt do the former two, and will change them if they dont show up tomorrow (the phase), and DrWilgy doesnt have enough for me to judge him im pretty sure. (at least, if im remembering right)
In these next two, he changes his list of folks for evo votes:

You are hesititantly on there still solely because I need 5-6 players but you haven't done anything spectacular to have me want to keep you there. I'll also add Nutella as a hesitant since she appears to be wanting to do the right thing but I'm not 100% sold on it. I think. This all coming without checking back on information is what I'd have my list at now. I'm keeping mac on the list since he has at least appeared and I'm interested in seeing what he does.

Finally, the original list I made, was for all the reasons I listed. Nothing more nothing less. Hence why you're now a hesitant instead of "lol cause he's a doctor"

Like you place either a "doesn't look good" or a "looks good, but then bad" on most everyone in the list you made. Excluding DF and DDL as the most prominent looking among the bunch. Back to the 5 people you mentioned though. In my eyes you've listed them as follows:

Disagreement man (Fred)
Somewhere (Neverwhere)
Hazelnut friend (Nutella)
Fluffy (Sprityo)
I do what I want. (Tink)

Realistically, you could've replaced 3 or 4 of these people with other players and still be about the same kind of list
The tin foil in my wants to say he's trying to protect more than just himself. I want to believe there is a teammate in my list of five.
sprityo wrote: Fri Jun 30, 2017 6:01 pm To directly answer your question, I'd pick tink, I don't think I'd pick everywhere since I haven't checked on their content. But I'd much rather lynch someone like DrWilgy, boo, Dom/Dyslexicon/Eloh, and Gman. Not to say I have evidence on them, but that I don't feel it in my gut that they're whole-y town sided. Something more so I should review over tonight since I'll be driving home and more than likely miss the lynch. In which case, I'm leaving my vote on tink.
Bingo. Pay dirt. Here we go! He says my list is dumb:
-Fredwood
-Neverwhere
-Nutella
-Sprityo
-Tink

And would rather hit someone on this list:
-Boo
-Dom
-DrWilgy
-Dyslexicon
-Eloh
-G-Man

Which leaves out these four:
-DFaraday
-Dragon D. Luffy
-Long Con
-MacDougall

If there was a teammate in my list, who do you think it is most likely to be?

If there is a teammate on his preferred hit list, who do you think it is most likely to be?

If there is a teammate on his list of omissions, who do you think it is most likely to be?
Here we see G-man's notes related to Sprityo and I see 3 questions following. Several players responded immediately, but I don't recall seeing any use of these questions from G-Man or any hard opinions based on these lists or questions.

Why though? Why?
G-Man wrote: Mon Jul 03, 2017 9:16 am It seems the first mention of 'black hole' Pokemon came after that post of mine. Perhaps I just screwed it up from the beginning with Faraday asking about Mew & Mewtwo getting evo votes. Neither one of them are baddies though, so that was a piss poor reading/assumption on my part. I've been pretty bad about keeping roles straight in my head lately, but this is a new low, as that post was the very first post from a player in the game. :disappoint:
KK, theory, what if the 'black hole' of evolution votes was discussed in btsc between Faraday and G-man before any of this popped up in the thread? Perhaps that would explain G-Man's confusion.

I'm going to take a break and resume after lunch.

Questions for G-Man -
  • Why should I not think that your Sprityo vote was a bus?
  • What have you gained from those three questions you made when you first ISO'd Sprityo post mortem?
  • Why the hell did you vote Eloh? there were plenty of voting options that day, but for some reason you were inclined to vote against what you had said one moment before. Why?

And lastly a quote from Nutella that caught my eye.
nutella wrote: Sun Jul 02, 2017 10:25 pm Morons.

Let's lynch, in no particular order: Fredwood, DFaraday, and G-Man. Two out of three of them are the baddies.
G-Man, when I'm done flipping through you who do you want me to look at? I think it's only fair for you to make the call on who I ISO next.
I've been monitoring those three lists and questions. I've been wrestling with them in my head as people are lynched and NK'd. Very few people responded to my questions, so I've been dealing with it internally. If it feels like it was dropped, that may be because I'm trying no to over-think it like I'm prone to doing. We're now left with just one person in the list of people I suspected (Neverwhere), one person in the list Sprityo omitted from his list (DDL), and the rest of us are on his list of "I'd rather we lynch one of these folks." We're now past the point of asking two of those three questions. It's now a matter of these:

1) Do you think Sprityo was defending himself only or himself and a teammate by calling my list dumb?
2) Do you think Sprityo omitted both of his teammates from his desired hit list?
3) If neither of the above, who among Sprityo's list makes the most sense as a cred-grab bus option?

Re: evolution black hole- That was poor comprehension on my part. Your theory will remain valid until I am dead.

As for your direct questions:

-There is no point for me to bus a teammate on Day 3, especially not an active one. If my catching up on the thread were just an act, why actually post my player notes that day if I am not in the cross-hairs? I kept my word. I posted thoughts on everyone, finished my re-read, and made an educated vote. With five people in my suspect list, why would I go for the only one that hurts my chances of winning the game when my team is well on our way to curb-stomping the civvies? On Day 3, Tink was a perfectly acceptable choice. You yourself voted for her in the hopes of eliminating a low-participating player. If I was bad, I wouldn't bus that early. It would have made more sense to vote sideways, for Tink to get in with the low-participation haters, or miss/abstain again for "not being caught up."

-Looks like I addresses this one above.

-I did exactly what I criticized Fred for doing. My back and forth with Fred Day 3 was by design. I was fishing. I was testing him. He came out looking good enough to me that I wanted to try to avoid a Fred lynch, so I voted Eloh to save Fred. I don't know what made me vote for him on Day 5. That was just stupidity brought on by the wide vote-spread. Frankly, this game should be used as evidence against ever letting me represent The Syndicate at the Mafia Championships.

-I've more or less cleared you and Boo in my mind, which leaves DDL, Dyslexicon, Neverwhere, and Quin. I'd say comb through Quin and DDL. I don't know how much can be gleaned from Neverwhere or Dyslexicon. DDL almost feels too convenient for me to believe, because he's the last person left on Sprityo's list of omissions. That list was nothing but players who you wouldn't be surprised to see flip baddie though, which is odd. DDL also cast the scantest of shade on my assumption that Jack's NK was a mistake, by saying it was probably because Jack wasn't being suspected by anyone but that was on Day 3, well after the fact. But he's a proud one, that Dragon. I could see him not taking well to the suggestion that he done goofed if the assertion was repeated like it was. But he did correct himself just minutes later. I don't know. Suppressing my natural distrust of him is getting harder to do.

Quin might fit the bill if all Sprityo had to help him on the early kills was the inconsistent presence of DFaraday and the absent Dom. Then again, so could Dyslexicon. :sigh:

Re: Pokemon Mafia [Day 7]

Interesting that the last baddie took out Tink. Maybe they think we can talk each other in circles. Or maybe they felt Tink was a legitimate threat in case she popped in and voted like she has.

Do you think this kill was meant to make us think the baddie is one of the less active or more active players? Or could it just be an easy, efficient kill?

Re: Pokemon Mafia [Day 7]

I'm posting the latest update to these lists:


G-Man's Suss List, Which Was Called Dumb By Sprityo:
Fredwood
Neverwhere
Nutella
Sprityo
Tink
Sprityo's Preferred Lynch List:
Boo
Quin/Dom
DrWilgy
Dyslexicon
Eloh
G-Man
People Sprityo Omitted From His List:
DFaraday
Dragon D. Luffy
Long Con
MacDougall
DDL is the last player remaining that Sprityo omitted from his lists. If DDL is the final baddie, that was an astoundingly reckless move on Sprityo's part.

Re: Pokemon Mafia [Day 7]

If you have to lynch me on Day 8 in order to find the last baddie on Day 9, then that's the cost of victory.

Re: Pokemon Mafia [Day 7]

I think we're actually doing what we're supposed to do- discussing things and narrowing down our suspicions. It sure beats voting at the start of the day and going AWOL until after the lynch post. ;)

Besides, we all know the baddies are going to try to kill an active player. You already had a target on your back for having posted more than Tink and voting more than Dyslexicon.

Re: Pokemon Mafia [Day 7]

I'm feeling much better about Wilgy after Faraday's flip as well. Faraday voted for Wilgy three days in a row, two of which saw Wilgy in jeopardy or close to it. Again, at that stage in the game, it's not to the baddies' advantage to try to bus a teammate. Having two baddies alive mid and late-game is the way to go.

Also, while Wilgy did a little of the "fine, lynch me!" pout thing Day 7, he came back after kicking the sandcastle down. He didn't just fume off and not come back. That means he's not willing to give up.

I also come back to what I said about Jack's death being an unforced error by the baddies. Perhaps Sprityo has played enough with Jack to be nervous of his civ game. If Faraday was as spotty in BTSC as he was in the game, then that helps me believe that Sprityo didn't have consistent discourse with his teammates.

If Wilgy were a baddie, I can see him talking Sprityo out of killing Jack. Wilgy has gone up against Jimmy and Epi enough times to know that you don't have to kill the super-civs right out of the gate. Sprityo either didn't have anyone around to bounce his Jack kill off of or he was able to convince a teammate who wasn't as engaged or concerned about such things.

That leaves me with Boo, Tink, and Wilgy in the Cautiously Trust column moving forward. That leaves DDL, Dyslexicon, Neverwhere, and Quin to sort out in my head.

Re: Pokemon Mafia [Day 7]

I am not interested in lynching Boo either. DFaraday was probably laying the foundation for an 'I told you so' in case we came back around on Boo after the Day 2 vote. Faraday voted for Boo on Day 2, which makes his later civ reads strange but not necessarily teamwork indicative. No reason whatsoever to make a cred grab that early when the civvies are flailing.

Re: Pokemon Mafia [Day 7]

ISO'ing DFaraday reveals a revolving list of suspicions. One thing that stands out is a pretty consistent civ read on Boo. I need to pull out all his lists and put them in one post for us to pick apart.

Re: Pokemon Mafia [Day 7]

It's currently 6v1v1. Tomorrow it will likely be 5v1v1.

I'm going to look at any lists made by DFaraday and see if we can cross-reference them with Sprityo to find their teammate.

The fact that our discussion ended on a "haha I'm having a shit game" claim G-Man and your non inquisitive "this person can be bad, but I'll limit my questioning" really makes me think you aren't hunting, rather your sitting back as an observer.
I never mean to walk away from the game when I do. Mafia is my mistress and sometimes you have to ditch the mistress suddenly to avoid being caught. Weekends are perilous like that. :rolleyes:
