Re: Death and Taxes: An Economics Mafia [DAY 7]

ive had my lynch stop for most of the game now, i didnt purchase it. i dont think it would be the end of the world if i used it today, i like 2v1 more than 3v1 but thats just me. in any case this would only matter if there was no chance we could lynch the scum today, which i dont think is a position we are in.

i'm voting g-man now, not sure if i'll be back at all before the deadline but i'll try to check on the thread

Again, I understand how you feel, splints, I've been there when I've overextended myself and invested a lot into a game emotionally and time-wise; hell, I've done that this game.

I want you to know that I'm willing to take a step back and consider every possibility, even that you're a civilian, but at the moment, my rainbow reads as previously stated still stand.
MP's last post about splints on Night 3. it came at 2:53 pm EST. the night kill was revealed at 6:22 pm EST. the very next post after that reveal by any player was this:

Secondly, I've mulled over it, and I'm pretty sure I'm wrong about splints. Where does that leave us? I want to look at Roxy, but I don't know where to go thereafter. Discuss.

Be back later.
so it was definitely an extremely abrupt reversal. and MP is not easy to shake from his suspicions -- especially not without input from other people. left to his own thinking, i would never expect this. so i agree that it supports the notion of an investigative role. moreover:

MovingPictures07 wrote:Seriously, everyone, G-Man is fucking faking this shit. Let's be honest here.

- If he were cursed, it's highly dubious that it would have taken effect as early as Day 1, before any night actions could be submitted. It also cannot be due to the D0 poll because literally NO ONE else has had this problem, and many others voted the same option as he did.
- There is no apparent role on either the civilian or mafia team that would have to be cursed as such.

If there even is an explanation otherwise that would cause him to be cursed for all 4 cycles, why not Day 0?

If there even is an explanation otherwise that jives with ALL OF THAT, then he would have broken or failed the curse EASILY with his most recent pictures interrogating DDL. I've never seen that unpunished from a host. If I were hosting, that would be a violation.

Therefore, G-Man does not have to post in all pictures.

He is therefore a mafia.
I have some guesses:

- He's Adam Smith, the invisible hand, which makes him unable to talk directly.
- He's the Ludwig guy who only talks in the night, so maybe he can't talk directly in the thread (though he's still posting pictures in the night so I dunno).
He is not Adam Smith. Even if he was, that would be a ridiculous posting restriction. He also posted during Day 0, which is key.
MP's only mention of Adam Smith after DDL's Bubbles theory was to say that someone else definitively is not him. so that's interesting too.

before that, MP carried on this discussion with splints and others about Adam Smith and the risks of outing that player in light of the stolen Malthus kill.

also of note was the Night 1 kill of Epignosis. Adam Smith used Elohcin's role on Epignosis -- and MP was quite vocally suspicious of both of them.

this is compelling stuff i admit. but it's also still conjecture and dangerous to rely upon too heavily. i'd invite the input of sanmateo here most of all, because he suspects splints more than anyone else.
i don't think he was adam smith because that would not really explain his reversal on fingersplints, i think him as akerlof is a valid theory tho. he did drop a few hints towards having a pr throughout dogpeegate.

i'm gonna vote in a couple hours, leaning heavily towards g-man now

#2 - i was right about elo and i pursued that lynch. all the scums we've caught distanced theirselves from it because being on the wrong side of a townie lynch on day 2 would mean you catch a lot attention early on.

#3 - i promise yall i'm starting to try again, and it would be better for town not to lynch me today as it would be a wasted day

good way to encourage that result.

thank you for the hard work on splints. i think you make plenty of valid points about her, and i am in general agreement. before the Bass lynch, her content is very easy to read in a bad light. her part in the Bass lynch is the best thing going for her -- but we should hesitate before we give too much credit for that. because Bass played a great role in the BR lynch.

i'm not inclined to vote for you sanmateo. if you're acting then bravo. much like the last game you modded on RYM, in this late game scenario under the current circumstances i don't really trust my own analysis anymore. i am going to respect my gut, and my gut is telling me you're town.

i don't quite have a ProFiction to go after this time though. i am also leaning toward a G-Man vote, but i can absolutely see it being splints.

Re: Death and Taxes: An Economics Mafia [DAY 7]

i realize most of you have moved on to more elaborate ways of casing players but im a simple country boy so here is my limited edition fingersplints ISO, sorry if this is all stuff i already said on day 4

Elohcin wrote:Anyway, I am leaning civ on Epi, Golden, MM, Splints, and Jimmy. I am not sure about San, Sloo, DDL, MP, and BR.
BR's defense of MP definitely caught my eye. Especially in a one mafia set up. If she was bad, I mean he could be a indy but she would know he was more likely to be good.
ftr the post she's referring to:

Elohcin wrote:I see that DDL thinks all those who've been posting tonight look like town. I disagree, but not only that, I highly doubt that none of the mafia are talking. I just can't see that being the case. Honestly, I see MP's over-helpful behavior as suspicious. I know we have a lot of new players and he wants to be helpful, but there's just something fishy about it.
I really don't see MP as being overly helpful. I see it more as him excited about the new players and helping them out. I would expect this behaviour from MP and I would expect you to see this as well.
this is the first time she mentioned black rock in what would be a constant "aggressive" tone between em thru the first days of the game
fingersplints wrote:First off, I did not "no u" BR as I made my suspicion first. After that she then said she was watching me. Not that she was suspicious. Just watching. How the fuck is that "100% no u"
Her response did not satisfy me because it was basically a play for emotion like when she said something about how she thought I would know her better. This is something I would expect of baddie BR. Plus I now think she didn't mean to defend MP, so said she didn't, and then now she did and is backtracking.

I'll comment to the rest of MPs post later but I'm voting him now.
this feigned indignition has become pretty standard for MP. I can't give him a free pass again for this
see this type of thing still bothers me, a lot of you seemed to move on but she really went after black rock and voted for someone else, something she did again on day 3. in day 2, the only time she voted for br, elohcin's lynch was basically already decided. it looks like bussing imo

:shrug2: Nothing to find him suspicious of today and don't like to vote cursed players. He doesn't get a free pass the whole game though.
first interaction with notoriously elusive player g-man, not sure what to think of it but i think there's something significant here as she has indeed turned on him thru the last few phases, specially after dog pee gate. at least she has been consistent and #transparent with her interactions towards g-man thru the game

fingersplints wrote:Maybe I am a little bit clouded by my last experience with a civvie Elo in Roger Rabbit.
have you noticed similarities between the Elo of this game and the Elo of that game?
Yes. I feel like it is more similar to her most recent baddie game I can remember.
Also, I feel like I have suspected Elo a lot for bandwagoning. So while her vote is weird I am not sure that it is that weird for Elo. And I am a bit wary that no one so many people seem to be ok with lynching her.

linki @ Sloonei - Bass is Roxy's son, and that is why I asked her opinion of him earlier. She can read him very well, so if she says he is alright I believe it for now.
fingersplints wrote:Really? I guess I am reading her different then you guys. I feel like she is at least trying to address the suspicions
she really distanced herslef from the elo lynch, looking at that tally 2 of the 3 known scums did so too and bass only voted for elo when a few players had already said "well my vote doesnt matter at this point so im going to vote for this bandwagon", this is WIFOM but im not sure if scum would collectively decide for all of its members to vote away from a player they assume to be town

I think it's harder to post as we have. While Gman has to find pictures; A lot are repeat. If he is bad he doesn't have to really push for lynches, and he isn't under much scrutiny.
transparent

http://www.mafiathesyndicate.com/viewto ... 46#p144846

this is her responding to a sloonei case, i'm not really sure what to make of her theories about mp/br but it does seem to be an intricate way to establish br as her most suspected player while side-eyeing mp. not familiar with her meta and it may be down to that but this doesnt seem organic to me, there's a lot of discussion about g-man which idk what to make of either :fist:
one thing i dont like is that she ends her post by saying "idk u" when asked who is scum

fingersplints wrote:I was going to answer, but I'll let Rox take care of that one. Was it me that was answering for other people before? It probably was. XD
roxy and splints' interactions were like the polar opposite of roxy and br's. which is what i've come to expect from scum teams, where they bus one of their teammates while being cordial with another
fingersplints wrote:
MovingPictures07 wrote::haha: Thanks, sanmateo. I look forward to hearing your answers to other questions and what you think of others as well.

Sloonei, so I am looking through splints's posts again because I'm revisiting my suspicion of her, and I'm uncovering again that she's been issuing a lot of wishywashy statements and I did find it notable that she couldn't even name a top suspect when I asked her yesterday (but then went on to say she still really suspects BR). I'd like to amend my post to say that she might be my 3rd suspect (pushing her back up again), but I'm not certain just yet.
I think you should reconsider who you call wishy washy when you have been drastically up and down in your suspicions. You are pressuring me to name more suspicions. I have and if that isn't good enough for you so be it.

I suspect BR for the defense of MP. A bunch of you didn't suspect it because you trust MP and all suspect Elo, but I understood what she was saying about MP. She wasn't calling him "mean", and I felt she was trying to be tactful about it, but he exploded at Epi and played the victim. (His word choice. Not mine) I feel like BR jumped on that and defended MP. I have been wishy washy about MP because as I said I'm not going to waste a shit ton of time debating how I feel about a player when my read on them is pretty dependant on someone else.

I'm voting BR now.
idk if these votes are supposed to be misdirections or something, where you argue against a player and then you vote for someone else. BUT WAIT
fingersplints wrote:If he is bad, he could be avoiding casting a vote for Elo so it doesn't look bad if she flips civvie.
huh. this just seems dishonest, he mentioned her as his supect on day 1 but it's not like he was particularly pushing people to vote for elo at that point
fingersplints wrote:
MovingPictures07 wrote:
fingersplints wrote:How long will this activity be? It's already 11 here

How many people missed the vote?
I also think that her team would be more likely to have distanced from her since she was so obviously going down.
She was the Serial Killer.
:doh:

I only really know the two civvie role/abilities I have had.
so still good result just not the one I thought a few moments ago. I have to go figure out if it has been addressed if the kill goes to baddies
this is something
fingersplints wrote:You guys really think that both me and BR are bad?

How many baddies do you think there are MP? :p
wifom is an overused term but i think it fits right here

JaggedJimmyJay wrote:
fingersplints wrote:My suspicion of aether has been growing. Like I said before I don't see how every role not being revealed is enough to want to quit a game when you guys have a role that hides role reveals. So that is a possibility. I also brought up earlier how I believe mafia likes to comment on roles and the like to seem to be contributing without really. So I think the second was more likely the intention, while pinpointing a valuable role would have been a nice side effect.
to be fair, the role you're referring to may have only appeared on RYM once or twice ever. it's not commonplace and i don't think i've ever played with one in a game myself. however, i highlighted the point in your quote that i think is most salient. i agree, and a parallel can be drawn that the RYMers might be more familiar with -- in our culture, this is usually expressed by fake-contributing mafia in the form of setup speculation (like guessing at how many scum there are, or what roles there might be, and how the game might be balanced), because on RYM we usually play in closed setups. so you're right to raise this point i think, fingersplints.
this is a reasonable explanation, but not one she provided. It feels like she ignored it hoping that suspicion would drop. (Another thing I associate as baddie behavior)
in hindsight (lame i kno) aether coming back after the death of the sk is understandable but i think the second post is definitely reaching at a time when aether's lynch was gaining traction, trying to add fire to that thru any means necessary is a scum-tell for me

http://www.mafiathesyndicate.com/viewto ... 03#p145803

this is a jay iso which she dismisses as being mostly wifom but she responds to it with more wifom specially when trying to explain why she would "bus" br
fingersplints wrote:Also, you accuse me of tunneling when most every suspicion of me has been about my suspicion of BR. If you can figure out a way for me to defend myself without mentioning her I will, but until then yea I am going to have to talk about it a lot. This little Day 1 suspicion probably would have died down, but BR's behaviour and a couple others defense of her make me feel more strongly then ever that I am right.

BR I hope you can at least appreciate it from that perspective.
i dont know why she says the little day 1 suspicion should've died down when she was still doing the things that pinged other people, tbh i still think they're valid. specially since she never voted for br when it mattered

But since you're asking, is there anyone you're suspecting besides BR?

I've been playing for enough years to know when I am fighting a losing battle. I have other games to play as well and this one is draining me too much. So I wanted you guys to know where to go when I am gone
she seemed to be the main suspect until this post, here and in a few previous posts she asks that people look at mp after she's lynched. it was real weird that both changed their mind as soon as day 4 started but seeing how mp was the first to do so, splints' whole caseon him reads as omgus, she later said this which is like, why

http://www.mafiathesyndicate.com/viewto ... 90#p148690 - i dont think i adressed this but g-man literally told me to vote bass, he even flipped me off!

what's left on her post history is the aether lynch which she really pursued, seems like town play tbh. i wish i could respond to whatever suspicions she has of me but i'm not sure what they are other than that last post i linked. i'm not sure what to think, her posts before day the bass lynch all read like scum and afterwards they all read like town, sigh
i'm leaning more towards g-man now. i'm not doing an iso outside rym ever again

Honestly that's it.

Reasons why sanmateo is mafia:

~ He has taken part in exactly zero mafia lynches. when BR was lynched, he missed the vote. when Roxy was lynched, he voted for aether. when Bass was lynched, he voted for G-Man.

~ He was vocally defensive of both Bass and Roxy when they were threatened with lynches, and later chalked it up to simply being wrong all game long. in one of my earliest mafia-aligned games, i employed that exact strategy -- intentionally be wrong in every read and see how long i can get away with it

~ I think his interactions with all three of the dead mafia players reflect poorly on him. My exact conclusions were: w/r/t BR, he looked barely okay (which was frankly too generous). w/r/t Roxy, he looked worse. w/r/t Bass, he looked so bad it's extreme WIFOM.
idk how i'm supposed to defend myself from this case without doing a pile of wifom. but ftr this is the worst game i've played. i haven't been right since like day 2, i dont even wanna keep coming back and checking the thread at this point

honestly it doesnt matter, the people who voted for bass are as likely to have extra votes as the people who voted for g-man. gonna vote g-man because i dont think bass is scum, if the lynch is tied we can just assume 2 of the 4 who voted g-man (assuming bass votes g-man) are scum

Re: Death and Taxes: An Economics Mafia [DAY 5]

one thing that is bugging me is that mp was the main person who suspected fingersplints during the end of day 3/night 3 and as day 4 came around he dropped that case and then he died, although i think he hinted at having an important role in the middle of his breakdown about g-man. idk if i'm explaining myself correctly or if it even makes sense, tbh i still think fingersplints is suss bc of that non-vote for br

i understand why people suspect me for "defending" roxy but idk what to say about that. it's not really like she said "i give up, i'm scum" like profic did in the end of the last game i modded. i still think she should've asked for a replacement tho. as far as my day 3 vote goes idk what there is to say even, i'm pretty sure i told yall i was gonna hold on to it til the very end before any votes were cast. i missed the deadline cuz i'm dumb

This is a personal question so you don't have to answer if you don't to aether, but... what is your political ideology IRL? Left or right?

Because in one post you're implying you're a neoliberal, and in the other one you're saying your in-game alignment is opposite to your RL one. If both posts are true, then you're more or less admitting you're mafia.

I know this is probably kind of silly since mafia wouln't normally slip like that, but could you answer this?

Thanks, and again, sorry if the question is too personal.
idk exactly but i think irl she's somewhere in the far-left, that first post was Snark. she wouldnt have slipped like that at all lol

Russ should really be the one answering this. He is extremely anti-infodumping. My answer is that you should be careful. Being too explicit about what powers have been used on you is usually a good way to get killed, even if it doesn't technically break any rules.
Yeah, as llama predicted, I am against people talking about what Night powers were used on them. Sorry I didn't see your question sooner.

i can't deny that this point is solid. the obvious danger is that if G-Man is mafia and teamed with a non-obvious player, the extra day alive allowed by the Bass lynch could put them over the top. that's why the point is solid though -- it seems to demand that a dissenter put on the tinfoil hat.
i think the one rymafia export no one needs is "informative" lynching

JaggedJimmyJay wrote: san's is outright defending Roxy at this point, suggesting she should be replaced instead. this would have given a mafia player another day to live, which can make a crippling difference. san's vote for aether was the first for her, and it came when Roxy had already amassed 6 votes. in that light his vote could be called pointless, but also a curious strategy if he is mafia -- Roxy was clearly getting lynched so why not just pile on? maybe he felt being the 7th vote would be overkill and look worse than a separate vote for the suspect he's carried the whole game.
seeing how 3 more people came in afterwards to be EXTRA-sure that roxy would be lynched, i dont think throwing my vote there would've looked particularly suspicious. imo the scum is among the people who didnt say she was suss and voted for her when she admitted defeat (ddl, acrosstheaether, i think g-man?). i still think she should've been replaced if she really didnt want to play.
