The Syndicate

(if he isn't I'll just quietly hide in the dark and curse the world for being so cruel)

Boo's theory is nuts, but if DF is bad he gets kudos for making me interested in looking for actual evidence.

I think I'm gonna vote DF for that, for the fact I'm having a hard time reading his intentons (which scares me), and because I'm curious. Also because I want Boo to shut up about him.

votes DF

At the time Eloh was lynched, there were two possibilities. She had a type of role (almost definitely civ, occasionally indie) that she loves, and often has in Epi games, or Tink has it and had targeted Eloh early on. I believe anyone who has played with Eloh in such a game where she had a role like that would know what was going on. I am certain DF fits the bill there. And he voted for her. He's bad. He voted for her and risked that 1) because it was a reasonable risk, lots of people wouldn't know this I imagine, 2) people who do know it don't like to bring up this style of meta-ness, 3) people who do know it are people who he wanted to NK anyways, so he got rid of them.

La was also part of that tink/Eloh group of people tink targeted. My best guess is, given the numbers, she had 1 other use and that person is already dead. Probably NKed early on. I think the reason tink has gone mia is a lack of interest given people she trusted are all dead. And maybe another possibility, but that's not important.

Anyways, la wanted to lynch DF because she knew it. I've picked it up.

As for teammates. Wilgy and quin are my top two choices. But I still want to lynch DF first, because I'm confident about him.
You honor your avatar, sir.
I feel like I've become obsolete with him around.

Don't lose your fire. You are the new generation. Old ones like him come every now and then to inspire us and show what we can still achieve, but they leave again so we can keep carrying the torch.

Actually sorry, not WIFOM. I misused the term.

Still, this "would I do this if I were bad" doesn't sit right with me.

Your first defense is WIFOM.

votes dizzy

G-Man wrote: ↑Thu Jul 06, 2017 8:25 pm It's kind of sad, looking at who got lynched and why. Tony got votes because he was a no-show and lost a tie-breaker. Timmer got votes because of meta and lost a tie-breaker. Sprityo got votes randomly and based on a hunch, and lost a tie-breaker. Eloh got lynched because of meta and she was an easy target. Fred got lynched because I suck at mafia and we got collectively stupid for a day and spread the vote out way too far. Thus far, nobody has been lynched on anything concrete.

Linki: I'm beginning to get weirded out by Wilgy's game-long desire to eliminate inactives. It's almost nakedly opportunistic, which provides WIFOM.

There is nothing concrete in mafia, to be fair.

So he's probably a civ here.
I can point to many of my Mafia games where I was bad and a prick.

Just out of curiosity which was the scum game that you caught me in that I was being nice?

That being said, this is a play at emotions. What about my posting in this game has been "rude and unlikable"? Was it the part where I have a scum read on you?

If by work you mean "point out when Sprit correctly said I wasn't on the chopping block", then yeah, she did the work. I wouldn't even call what he said defending me.

Mac raises some intriguing ideas about DDL. I've been reading him as civ all game, mainly because he contributes a lot. I'm still leaning for a Wilgy lynch right now though.
On a scale of 1 to 10: how does your opinion of me depend on other people making "intriguing" reads of me, specially if they are voting for me near the end of the day?
I don't understand this post. Who voted for you near the end of the day? Is 1 a lot or 10? How much or how? It's a weird post.

Neverwhere wrote: ↑Wed Jul 05, 2017 6:07 pm Reading back over my own posts, I'm inclined to side with boo and say I'd be interested in a DFaraday lynch. I remember reading back through Sprityos posts Mac and DFaraday stood out as people sprit was possibly defensive of.
And then I voted to lynch Sprityo in such a way as to not earn any credit for it. Intelligent move.

1- Sorry I don't remember which game. I didn't exactly catch you. More like you were my biggest suspect but people only lynched you 2 days after I died.

2- It's irony. I'm snarking at the possibility DF is just following others, and setting up a possible wagon jump on me should it happen.

I don't have any opinion of DF at this point, but that itself is a bad sign.

Tip: 90% of the game of mafia is about charisma.

People follow the ones with charisma, and lynch the ones who lack it.

So when you go "you all stupid if you don't lynch X", that's the easiest way to make them lynch someone other than X.

I'm gonna keep the meta theory that Mac is civ when he is being rude and unlikable.

In the one game where I caught him as scum, he was being civil and likable.

So he's probably a civ here.

Well I already said I suck at this game. I can't scumhunt to save myself. But I am still in the game so might as well keep pushing forward until either the bads or the civs are eliminated.

G-Man wrote: ↑Tue Jul 04, 2017 11:00 pm Ignore my input from here on out. I've always sucked as a civvie without my silly technicolors. Nabbing Sprityo was a case of the blind squirrel finding a nut. That much is clear to me now.

Baddies, if you have any honor left in you, please kill me tonight. I don't want to giftwrap this game any more neatly for you than I already have.

Nobody will kill you if you ask like that. They will let us lynch you instead.

Which we might as well do if you declare you are folding.

I just play doubles. No stall anymore. Ever.

The way you ask questions made me legit think you are actually trying to figure things out.

Not if you focus blast them. Then they need high special defenses.

Also you can status them, as they have no natural resistances.

Gengar used Focus Blast

It's Super Effective! 20% damage.

Chansey used Softboiled. Heals 50%.

Gengar used Will-O-Wisp. Chansey is burned.

Chansey switches out. Heals burn automatically thanks to hax ability.
>not packing mean look and toxic

To be fair an optimal set for that would be something like Shadow Ball/Will-O-Wisp/Substitute/Taunt

You dont do damage outside WoW but you force the pink blob to leave while you use Sub and then her teammates cant do much against you either.

Ive wreced defensive teams with that.

Doesn't matter, a civ can't scum slip. The notion of me baiting a scum slip naturally won't be a civ worry.

Figuring out what you are trying to do is a civ worry.

I know nothing about Pokemon types. I assumed it was connected to role/powers. Wouldn't info gathering make more sense from 'psychic' than 'fairy'? Maybe I'm trying to force familiar mafia role powers onto Pokemon types.

Info gathering isnt common into a game like pokemon, so I'd wager the hosts would put it on whatever individual mon fit it more.

But you made a good guess. Eloh's role is telepathic, so it fits more than most.

DrWilgy wrote: ↑Tue Jul 04, 2017 8:00 pm Also... civs can't scum slip.

Sure, but you didn't know if I were a civ or not when you asked that question (and still don't).

Just to end this: normal's biggest downside is that nothing is weak to them.

Though normals are only weak to fighting so it's still decent. A normal with good defenses can be a pain to take down.

DDL has assured us of his "bad civ game" and followed suit. I need to see some good civ game. Him asking me if i was trying to set him up to scum slip was my initial ping and it hasn't changed.

Well that's the only way I could interpret your motivaton for asking that.

Point is, while a normal pokemon doesn't have a distinct element, they instead fight with body slams and headbutts and other physical attacks. Or they attack with sound. Still abilities, just not elemental.

Munchlax evolves into a juggernaut that while still normal is pretty strong.

Or you are one of the other normals. Like Munchlax.

Normal is a type like any other. Has nothing to do with abilities. Normal pokemon are usually cute things like rodents and birds, and most mammals. They lack some distinct elemental feature that would give them a different type.

Psychic is another type, and is more often associated with emitting powerful bursts of mental damage than obtaining information. Though Elo's role was a telephatical pokemon, so there is a good chance she has some kind of info gathering ability.

Voting Fred for now then. I dont wanna risk lynching the wrong legendary.

Why are you assuming Elo's first role had abilities to begin with?
If Mew and Mewtwo are listed with abilities but cannot evolve, why wouldn't the first role description listed for Eloh be her first power? If someone is listed as 'normal' on the role list, I assume that to mean vanilla. How have you been interpreting it? That everyone starts as vanilla until they evolve?

Eh... yes?

You are either Mew or Mewtwo.

I'm almost taking the Dizzy wagon but I'm tired of easy lynches. They aren't working.

I wanna go crazy this time.

That sounds like a good way of defending Fred while not directly connecting himself to him, since Fred is only "better than someone else".

I'm not even in pain because that host is a known troll. And I had a stressful day so at this point IDGAF.

Just posting because it's funny.

I just unwon a game of mafia.

I'm just aware of my lack of talent for baddie hunting due to having lost about 8 consecutive games as civ here in the past, so now I second guess every read I make.

The easiness which this wagon grew bothered me.

Let's see if that Eloh wagon is a nice place.

His responses were emotional, which is not what I would expect from a baddie with no reason to believe he or his teammates were on the chopping block. It's possible that he is an emotional player but I didn't see that early on.

I'm bothred by that too.

Wouldn't even be the fifth time I lynched someone for being too emotional.

Does anyone have a better option? I'm willing to consider them.

I mean we have over 12 hours left and a load of people who haven't posted todays.

Their opinions are more valuable than whatever shit flinging we do to each other.

On top of that we're obviously headed to a Thunderdome, which will be fun.

I pass. This will only make me want to lynch you more. I'm already lynching you so I don't need to add an ingredient of bias to it.

Oh the Straw Man is strong in this one. I said one scum was LIKELY on the Tink wagon, not that ALL were. And as far as OMGUS goes, I've been on you pretty hard since your about face on your policy of no lynching inactives on day 1 to day 3, so next.
So which wagon are you speaking of?

My assumption at EoD was that at least one scum was on Tink wagon. Or you trying to imply that I was representing that all scum was on Spirits wagon.

Either way neither is a good representation of what I have stated in thread.

This one right now.

Your posts make me feel bad. Too much aggressiveness and sarcasm. I'll stop for now. Imma just wait for you to flip.
