How do votes normally play out on this site? Is it typical for some players to cast votes super early in the day, as we've seen a bit of today? Or do people usually wait for the end of the phase before using it? On RYM we usually have unlimited vote changes and everyone's voting and unvoting every t...

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 l...

Also, do any of this community's regulars have tips for us noobs on how to proceed with the scumhuntery sans role reveals? You are doing fine with how you are approaching the game. There is no hard and fast way to find baddies, each of us have our own unique way of playing - no one way is right or ...

I remember birdwithteeth's vote standing out because it seemed like he was the only one to go for Bass without giving any reason, but I looked back and realized that's wrong and he stated agreement with my case in this post: http://www.mafiathesyndicate.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=620&p=143634#...

I want to hear reads from both of my top suspects (Bass and Elo). I can't post much today, but their contributions for the rest of this Day phase will decide my vote. I ask for reads to provide clarity on their play and maybe help clear your names, if I like the reads. So, uh you two, got any though...

It's interesting that you disagree because literally every defense she has made seems fabricated to me. I still can't fathom how she hasn't made up all of her thoughts on everyone. Normally I would agree with you; I almost always wait until the last possible minute. She has defended herself plenty ...

That maybe should have been a green post, but I like to use Mafia Philosophy chats in my case-building oftentimes. Let me know if that's a frowned upon thing here and I'll stop.

I'm more puzzled over the lack of alignment reveals than role reveal. Not knowing who/what Epi was is giving me nightmares and I'm not even asleep yet. Obviously this is not an issue for the usual scum kill, as it's generally a safe bet that they won't kill their own, but

I would propose that if Adam Smith is still alive (hopefully he's not Metalmarsh), then he should try to build a case against Malthus, who he probably targetted last night. This game doesn't allow role reveals, but I suppose he can come up with some reason to call him bad and then tunnel on him, no...

Thanks for elaborating, Jay! I'm concerned about the suspicions surrounding Bass. I know I've suspected him, and that I frankly still do, but I'm puzzled. After what happened D1, I don't understand how Bass is more sketchy than Elo. I hate to sound like a broken record, but can someone help me out ...

oh, i was expecting there to be a lot more posts. I'm caught up.

I'll try to catch up before falling asleep tonight, but Sloonei is a night-owl and somehow manages to have plans at midnight. I'll be floating around for a little while, though.

I'm going to go ahead and vote TinyBubbles . :ponder: this is twice that you've voted very early in the day phase. Is this a typical thing in games here where votes can't be changed? Even if it is, I can't help but raise an eyebrow and ask lots of questions. Namely: why? Both "Why TinyBubbles?...

Well that ends a big portion of the discourse. I'm also not used to unrevealed roles, or at least alignments, but I dig the new style and will get used to it. Bass remains my primary suspect with Elohcin close behind. I'll develop more reads as the day progresses, I hope. I won't be very active unti...

I don't disagree with any of that, but I'd like to see what, if anything, he is able to make of his own behavior moving forward. If he's town, I would trust that he's been doing all this because he believes he can get clearer reads on people by forcing them to react to whatever he's doing. I could ...

I am finding much of Epignosis's behavior to be a bit stubborn and not the most conventionally townie activity I've seen, but I'm not quite sure I would label it as "scummy" just yet. I've never played with him before, obviously, so there's probably a lot I don't know, but so far I am stil...

Sloonei. you're asking your questions of people and that's groovy. keep doing it. but i haven't seen a read from you lately (unless i overlooked something). who are your suspects? your town reads? Bass and elohcin are my primary suspects right now. I'm closest to leaning town on you, dragon, and ma...

Epignosis, do you have anything for real to say to Golden's and others' suspicion of you? And do you have any suspects yet?

I just realized I'll probably be far less active during the upcoming day phase, as i'll be working most of the day both tomorrow and Saturday. my contributions will probably be limited to mostly short phone posts.

While Bass's vote was mostly self-preservation and it's tough to make too much of that, I felt like his complete silence around the deadline was fairly suspicious (perhaps this is just a resilt of tunnel vision, though). He said nothing, that I can remember, but showed up in the heat of it all, cast...

How much of the game have you been able to read, TinyBubbles? I kept up to around page17 and just now am skimming the rest. RIP golden! Sloonei do you know when is the next vote? Nights last 24 hours I think, so the next vote should be open tomorrow around this time and last for two days after that...

I don't know what to say. But I am not bad.

Do you have any thoughts on the votes? Who's in the driver's seat to earn your vote going in to Day 2?

How do people feel about the other two players (MP and Bass) who received multiple votes, in the wake of Golden's lynch? i still think mp07 is suspicious (he's fucsia on my rainbow list), but elo is my main suspect rn what about bass? and why elo? I suppose it will also be important for players to ...

How do people feel about the other two players (MP and Bass) who received multiple votes, in the wake of Golden's lynch?

And still, can someone please tell me WHY you want to lynch me? B/c I know Epi has caught baddies lying about RL? B/c I said Epi COULD BE, MIGHT BE onto something with MP? B/c I said MPs emotional outburst makes me question him? for me it stemmed mostly from your first couple posts where it seemed ...

fingersplints has also probably moved into the slightly orange portion of my rainbow, if such a thing exists. Golden would he more neutral and MP07 possibly a slight town read, for the record. I do not pretend to be right about any of these things, just offering my input. What's the orange section ...

I am really starting to think this as well; the effort to get heat on me was a 100% coordinated manipulation between the both of them.

care to elaborate on this thought?

Bass casts a self-preservatory vote against Golden. Haha, sounds like an announcer watching the mafia game in RL. That'd be sick. lol. I once modded an Arrested Development themed game on RYM where there was a role that did pretty much exactly that. He was instructed to just narrate the events of t...

Bass_the_Clever wrote:Well I voted golden because I dont want to be lynched day one.

i probably should have let you make the announcement yourself, i apologize

Bass casts a self-preservatory vote against Golden.

That said, Sloonei, what makes you think it isn't Epi just being a ballsy mafia? Gut feeling that what he was doing was a concerted effort to gather and produce as much information about players as he could. This could prove to be false later on, as I will continue to pay attention to him as a cand...

And I've been getting vaguely townish vibes from Golden since he became a suspect of a few people, but it's admittedly not something I can substantiate yet, and I am obviously not familiar with his playstyle.

I took everything between Epignosis and MovingPictures to be Epi trying shake things up for the sake of seeing it/getting reactions. MP is and has been a very prominent figure in the game who everyone seems to have an opinion of. By putting even more focus on him, it sort of forced a number of react...

Wasn't golden warning about drive by voting earlier? :P Yeah. And people wonder why I was making a deliberate effort to keep things closer to my chest. I'm very disappointed that Russti changed the rules on us so that dead civilians would die, but on the other hand it means I don't have to try hard...

please excuse all my typos while i try to conquer phone posts

If I die, take out Epi tomorrow guys. He is bad.

Why Bass and not MovingPictures?

Voted Bass, since I feel things are starting to narrow down. I hope this was not premature, but that's been my strongest read for a little while now and the more I sit on it the better it feels (so far at least). Casting the vote officially has made me slightly regret not looking further into my Elo...

After mulling specifically over Golden, I'm more unsure what to think of him. I do think it's easy for him to defend me over Epi in the RL debate, but I think he'd do that regardless of alignment. Honestly, as much as I still have Bass in the same position I did, I think I'd rather lynch someone wh...

We're approaching that Final Hour thing and still only a few players have voted, and even fewer are actually here right now. Should we expect an increase in thread traffic in this time, or we nearing some "drive-by" voting as was warned about earlier? I feel this has been a fairly producti...

Why are people narrowing their votes to just me, bass or MP? There is still the opportunity to take out someone else if you think they are bad. if this in reference to my post, that is in no way how i wished to be interpreted. I was just comparing the case of Bass to the other vote-recipients, who ...

@metalmarsh I dig it, I've expressed the same issue and concern for myself from the other side of it. I need to simultaneously discern who individual players are on top of which ones are lying. It's not so easy and I appreciate any effort to fix this.
