Explain

Well at first i was thinking a burnt orange, but i feel like a more rosey and inviting red really fit you more.

What do you this is my alignment and why?

Sloonei is town because he's already trying to facilitate true to form.

Quin is mafia because he called Kyle's question "good" without clarifying why he cared about the question or why it moved him.

good opening question because it could lead to information that might favour our poll choices today. seemed obvious.

I don't know why Kyle's opening question merits a town read here. I liked the initial stance from Quin to label the post as a good look for Kyle, but this explanation didn't register on the same level with me. It was an easy question to ask, and not one that I'd give a player too much credit for coming up with. Quin doubling down on it here gives me the heebie jeebies.
Then follows his exchange with Jay wherein he opts not to give serious consideration to Jay's point of view because it's Day 0: Quin said this:

Quin wrote: ↑Thu Jan 11, 2018 2:46 am Do you believe that?

Yes.

This exchange ends here on my end. I am already getting too close to my post count cap. Others can judge as they may.

Show me where I indicate not caring about your alignment.

In response, I point to everything contained in the spoiler above. There's no direct indication of "not caring about" Jay's alignment, but there also is no evidence of an attempt to read Jay in this situation, thus the appearance of not caring about his alignment. His immediate response to Jay is to brush him off and say "I don't think you actually care about this" and declare this action to be unreadable. As a defense, I think it reads as false confidence. As a response to Jay, I think it reads as uncritical. Neither of these are qualities I would assign to town Quin.

It's Day 0 and I'm already compiling a thorough ISO case on a player.

Do you have any questions so far, [mention]novaselinenever[/mention]

Welcome, you two! What can you tell us about your experiences playing mafia and your knowledge of each other, if you have any?

Hello there ! I've been playing Mafia for quite a while on other forums. Love it. Not used the this kind of votes though, on events that impact the game.

Dragon D. Luffy, posted a link about this game on another forum where Mafia is played. That's what brought me here.

About Dave, I'm not sure it's the Dave I know lol. If it's him, we've played a few Mafia games together. He's a cool dude

I'm pretty sure that's the Dave you know. DDL posted here about inviting the two of you to play this game.

I haven't stated my case yet, your honor.

mmm how about not

Sloonei and Quin are on my 'do not lynch D1' list for this game. I have chosen.

what if I want to lynch Quin?

Uh. Doesn't change the list, but it does make things more complicated. Are you asking who I'd side with at this point in time?

No, you'd side with me because I'm uber convincing. That's not a question. I'm saying I can see an argument for Quin being bad.

We should be spreading the votes around in the poll, I think. The question seems to imply that our votes will rank/determine the order we'll be "visiting" the realms, whatsver that means. We're leaving our fates up to the gods/Epiblooper if we all just clump together in the Outworld.

Jackofhearts2005 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 11, 2018 12:49 pm I'm yellow now? Cool.

It says here you're out host.

To be clear: I voted in the poll with no real thought given to its impact on the game. I just wanted to vote.

JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Thu Jan 11, 2018 2:29 am In this case the poll is worded for travel; we're literally visitng a realm. In that regard the flavor might be awkward alongside my theory. That these visitations occur in a specific order though suggests to me that we'll find our way to each of them eventually. In the event that this somehow provides a benefit to the Outworld, it may be better still to ensure that is covered earlier than later.

And it seems we may want to spread the vote out according to general preference. The outworld is supposedly the realm of the bad guys, but then the civilians seem to be spread across all the other realms (my knowledge of Mortal Kombat is nill). Would it not be inherently beneficial to the civilian team if each realm benefited its members somehow?

JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Thu Jan 11, 2018 2:06 am Theory: each "realm" is associated with some subset of the characters. This is evident at least in "Outworld" being the name of the mafia team. I suspect Epignosis may have drawn from his own hosting history (Transistor) wherein the "winner" of the poll results in some kind of information being revealed among the pile of ???s in their roles. If true, it'd be swell to reveal something about the bad guys.

It's an educated guess, so if y'all have other theories then by all means stick 'em in here. I definitely don't think the poll is inconsequential.

If this is the case then I vote good

This Day 0 poll is uniquely thematic, so I would guess that there's some meaning behind it.

Glhf!

Voting Quin for now, but that might change as the day goes on depending on how he responds to arguments against him.

Quinrealm should have been the first place we searched for Quin.

Quin, lie about the identities of your teammates.

Kyle, which one of me or Jay is scum?

You go to bathhouses specifically to pee?

i've never played a Mortal Kombat in my life, can anyone who has describe the realms? Are there any associations between realms and certain characters?

good opening question, town read.

Trepid introductory nonstance from Kyle, scum read.
Eagerness to produce solid reads from Quin, town read.

Earthrealm is the mundane sphere, the netherrealm is the underworld, the outworld is the great void beyond. Chaos and orderrealm are the realms of competing energies, and Edenia is the blissful state at the nexus of all of them. I've also never played these games and just made that up. What are you going to base your vote off of?

Votes in this poll are not changeable.

With no basis on what I'm voting for, the Outworld sounds like my kind of place.

Because. Suck it.
