Re: Watchmen [ENDGAME]

I was extremely bummed that I didn't have much of a chance to be on this scum team. But I definitely deserved to be lynched.

Re: Watchmen [Day 1]

Some other quick thoughts I have:
I have expressed vague support of G-man, but I don't necessarily have him as a town read. That said, I don't support any of the cases I have seen made against him thus far. That does not mean he should not be looked at further.

I do not wish to OMGUS thellama, but I find his case against me to be a bit weak and that is something that could become suspicious down the line, depending on how it progresses, but for now it's too early to make a judgment.

I am now 10 minutes late for work, woohoo

Re: Watchmen [Day 1]

I have to go to work in a moment, and at this point the two strongest "pings" I've got have been frok Elo and Ninja.
Elo for how quickly she stated and abandoned a suspicion against me. She first listed me and G-man as her two early suspects. I very simply asked her to explain her suspicion of me and her response was essentially "never mind, i'm not suspicious of you." I can see this as a player (Elo) who wanted to cast suspicion on a vocal player (me) for the sake of having a suspect, but when I pressed her on it she was not prepared to back it up.

Ninja for that one big post of hers. I am not happy that the two people I've narrowed my vote down to have a combined 7 posts between them. But in ninja's posts she provided a wishy-washy fence-sitting read on G-man and also gave a suggested some pretty empty support of llama and the "adverb/smiley" theory without offering more of her own opinion beyond "I don't like Day 1s." I would like to hear a lot more from ninja on some reads and I know she is a capable player, but for now I think she's the player I feel most comfortable voting for, so I'm voting Ninjajuju.

This has been a pretty solid Day 1 but it still feels like there's a lot of people who have yet to weigh in. I hope to get some more voices in this discussion before he day's end, but I will not be able to take part in it. If anyone is having trouble coming up with things to say, just post the first thoughts that come to mind when you look at the thread. Literally anything is better than not posting.

I missed this before. Although you've expressed a slight change of mind since (or right here in the same post), I'd still like to know where this suspicion comes from. Which particular posts/statements gave you these vibes about me?

"Does not pose a threat to the civies" does seem like the sort of thing a baddie would say, yes. Especially if they don't have a power that doesn't have a direct, negative impact on others.

And, at this point, no one else is standing out to me. I'm often a 1 suspect at a time kind of gal. Also, day 1, so not much to go on.
Does this mean your mind and vote are set on G-man today?
I wouldn't say set, but if nothing else comes up and he doesn't say something to convince me, that is likely where I will vote, yes.

Also, as to another post you made (that I forgot to quote), if he was trying to attract the lie detector, then why do so with what is potentially an undetectable statement (a threat to civs can be a matter of opinion as to what that means)...unless you were trying to make sure that a teammate wasn't LD-ed?
At this point we are getting into hypothetics and semantics with regards to the lie detector, and I do not feel that's a totally productive or worthwhile area of discussion right now. However, I would interpret "not a threat to civvies" to mean "not working against the town's interests." But i'm not epi and his is the only judgment that matters here.
Your assertion that he's potentially trying to protect a teammate from being lie detected is a bold one. What makes you think that?

We have not played together before, but you have hosted both of the Syndicate games I have played prior to this one. How much attention did you pay to those games? Are you familiar at all with my playstyle, or in this case, my writing style? What do you know about me as a player?
Also, what is the rationale behind this adverb/smiley theory?
I know enough. The rationale is primarily observation based, but it also makes sense in that baddies have to walk a line, and it's easier to equivocate with emoticons and adverbs. Where a civvie might say "You are bad! I'm sure of it!" a baddie might say "You are bad, in my opinion." The softener gives them more cover if things don't go their way.

Golden: Adverbs, smilies.
Okay, but if you look at the context of my adverbified post and my smilies, does it seem like I am walking a line of being cautious? A lot of the content in question is unrelated to this game.
Also, what is "enough"? Could you describe your assessment of my playstyle?
It's not a conscious thing, just a tell of a guilty conscience. I think you realized you were using too many smilies, which is why you pointed it out in a joking fashion.

I don't want to describe my assessment of your play style, so I won't. :P
I was conscious of the smilies because I used the same one in two consecutive posts. I would never consider a person's use of emojis as it relates to their alignment, because I would never consider such a thing to be an indicator of alignment. I use adverbs because I use adverbs. Sometimes they're a natural part of a sentence.
No offense, but this is one of the silliest cases I've ever had to respond to. But it's Day 1, and I do not object to it. How do you feel about my other posts, and particularly these replies to your case?

Baddies who haven't said anything yet don't need to read the thread closely. They are thereofre less likely to be frustrated by a lot of posts. Also, just tone. He sounds like a less scemey, more carefree Russ.
I can just as easily red that post by Russ as a player saying "Hey guys look at me, I've read the thread and am hip to what's going on. Don't accuse me of lurking because I'm not lurking." If anything, this post makes me mildly suspicious of Russ.

I agree that he seemed to be trying to get around the LD with the way he worded it.
I think he has played enough to know that a lot of games people just come out say "I'm civ" and it's not consider info dumping or role claiming. I think there are two watchmen who we know can turn on the civves or need a civvie dead to win if I'm reading the roles right.
If anything, I feel like G-man's phrasing was an attempt to attract the lie detector (and this was my initial thought when I saw the post in question). I don't see how drawing obvious attention to oneself with a curiously-worded statement can be seen as dodging a potential lie detector. Does his phrasing, if we're gonna take it as honest, strike you as being one of ~2 nefarious Watchmen?
Also, who else are you looking at besides G-man?

I hosted G-Man in Guess Who and he tried a thing where he would begin each new post with the next letter of the alphabet.

I really don't have time atm to look at his posts in Bullets over Broadway or the other games he has played in but I am wondering what posting fun he tried to have in the other games he's played. I wonder if he even tries to do something funky with his posts if he is bad or if being on a team and having people to talk to BTS is enough for him to keep a game interesting. I don't see any themes running through his posts in this game, but I could be missing it. It's something to think about.

G-Man, do you do posting themes in each game despite your alighment? If so, can you tell us what you did in BoB when you were mafia?
G-man, you continue to be my hero.
In BoB it was hard to read into his posts at all. He subbed in on Day 2 or 3 for a scum player (gamerguy) who was one of the thread's most popular suspects before he had subbed out. So G-man was a dead man walking from the moment he showed up, and he knew it. I just noticed a marked change (he seems more engaged) this time around than in my previous games with him. I'll start digging through his content later, but for now I do not feel there's enough of it for me to get anywhere.

Who do you think you might vote for today now that i'm off the table?

LoRab wrote:I'm of 2 minds with the GMan stuff.

On the one hand, back in the day (when GMan was a regular) on LP/Piano, lie detector roles and statements became a thing and how people phrase statements and asking everyone to make "An LD Statement" became something of a controversy. In addition/as a result, in many games, "I am a civie" wasn't a detectable statement, so people would often not use it and got in the habit of not just saying that.

That being said, the way he phrased it doesn't sound like a way a civie would describe themselves, even with phrasing it differently. What he posted earlier sounds like something that is a baddie trying to describe themselves with a true statement on a technicality (like, if they don't have a power that can be used to harm a civie, they technically aren't a threat). And his explanation doesn't ring so true to me.

There are also roles with secrets, and we don't know how those statements might have an impact on an LD role. He could have been waiting for clarification on how a statement of "I am a civie" would show up. :eye: on G Man. Leaning towards a vote in that direction.
Do you think a scum player would voluntarily leave such an honest statement in the thread like that? It's incredibly easy for a baddie to simply say "I'm not bad", and I have a hars time believing that G-man's conscience would have gotten to him that much, if that is what you are saying in part.

Do you have your eye on anyone other than G-man?

I do not currently have you as a suspect G-man, which is actually saying something in your case because you're one of the few people who's posted enough to bave anything to go off of.
I did not have any bad feelings about your wording with regards to your role, and I feel like it's an odd thing to be suspicious of, but it's Day 1 and I do not object to its being brought up. I simply saw it as a player making the routine empty remarks about not being bad. Your phrasing changes very little. I am also not bad. So is everyone else.
We do have at least a 1-shot lie detector in this game, for what it's worth.

2) I've never heard policy voting but I think it's good to identify that problem within mafia games. I've always hated it and having to explain that, in terms of probability, we are more likely to lynch a townie. That being said, I do not support it in any way.
3) I don't think G-Man is suspicious. Having said that, I barely remember who posted what because everyone is new to me. It's easier if I knew people and can put a personality to the post, so when I get to know everyone a bit more, I will be able to scumhunt more efficiently.
4) How do I vote not to lynch someone? On the site I use, we vote "no lynch." Is there an alternative name for it here or do I just not vote?
Welcome, Cookie!

Why do you not think G-Man is suspicious? Can you elaborate?

Why would you want to vote a "no lynch"?
I don't think G-Man is suspicious because, at this point, I don't suspect anyone's posts to be suspicious. Also, I don't remember who's posted what in the thread because there are so many people to keep track of, therefore, anyone who might have been suspicious would have been more memorable (or their post would have been).
Has there been anything at all that caught your eye about anyone or anything in particular? Even the littlest thought can be substantial early in the game. Don't overthink things and just look at the thread. Who seems more sincere to you?
I had been mistaken last night. After I voted for what to investigate, the list of players became available to vote and I saw Epi said we had until midnight to vote so I was panicking that no one else was voting anyone else and so I wanted to vote no one. I didn't want to be responsible for casting the only vote, resulting in a lynch of that person who might have been civ.
the polls will change every day, that's how we vote rather than simply stating it in the thread. Makes it a lot easier to keep track of :) That said, it's still customary to state your vote in the thread once you've made it, just to let everyone know where and when (and preferably why) you voted. Also, votes are not changeable, so once you pick someone, it stays there the rest of the day. I prefer to hold onto mine as long as possible and everyone else should too.

Re: Watchmen [Day 1]

@ ninnyjuju, you said you are "intrigued" by the theory about scums using more adverbs and smilies than others. That theory was brought up to be used against me. What do you think of me? As a player in this game, I mean.

Re: Watchmen [Day 1]

Scotty, you have been active in the discussion and prodded a lot of people. Surely you must have quite a few things to say about players at this point. Who are your suspectd in this early phase? Why?

It appears I will be gone for work by the time you get back to answer this.

Re: Watchmen [Day 1]

I did not realize the day (and presumably all days) would be 24 hours long. I have not played anything shorter than 48 hour days in ages. I'm going to need to pick it up, but I don't think I'll have enough time to get anywhere near being comfortable wih my vote. I'll do my best though.

Re: Watchmen [Day 1]

@Elohcin, if you looked through my posts, would you be able to put your finger on what's scummy about me? I do not mind being called scummy, but only when there are reasons attached to the label.

We have not played together before, but you have hosted both of the Syndicate games I have played prior to this one. How much attention did you pay to those games? Are you familiar at all with my playstyle, or in this case, my writing style? What do you know about me as a player?
Also, what is the rationale behind this adverb/smiley theory?

Re: Watchmen [Day 1]

also, not that this is relevant to anything, but i invited cookie here as opposed to RYM because i felt weird saying "yeah come sign up for this music cataloging site if you want to play mafia." This place is all about mafia, so it felt more appropriate :)

Re: Watchmen [Day 1]

With regards to Cookie, since I'm the only person here who's got any familiarity with her as a player, I feel like I should offer what insight I can.

She comes from a fairly young mafia community and the games there are still a little um primitive, if that's not a mean thing to say, and, like she said, people tend to rely heavily on power roles and night actions and crazy bandwagon hunches and stuff. I've never played any games there, but I'm the one who introduced mafia on the site and have modded/spectated a bunch of games, and in my opinion Cookie is one of the the strongest players in the community (and one of the only ones who I felt comfortable enough with to invite here). I'm hella excited to see how she handles the more intense gameplay here and have full confidence in her abilities, but in fairness to her and everyone else it should be known that a lot of this is probably going to be new to her, but she's certainly not what the kids would call a "noob".

Hello Cookie, welcome. Give me a full list of reads on every player by noon tomorrow.

Re: Watchmen [Day 1]

In response to MP's points toward me (my laptop is old and terrible and doing this thing where it takes a half hour just to start up, and I don't feel like waiting for that just so I can format a post more easily, so this is a messy phoned-in attempt at a post), I have so far only played with a G-man that is completely light and playful in all his posts (due to those reasons I mentioned earlier), so when I came in to the thread on Day 0 and saw him being perhaps the most active person in leading the discussion, regardless of how serious he says it was at the time, it was a very noticeable change in style for him. It is too minor a point to earn him a townie label just yet, but it was the strongest read I got in any direction after 3 pages of activity. "Sincere" was probably not the right word. "Active" or "aggressive"' would have been more accurate. I will hold off on commenting on the actual content of his posts until there's more of it.

Also I never expressed my suspicion of you while you were in BoB, I only mentioned it after Epi had subbed in for you. I can't find any of the posts (i made a lot of them in that game), but my point was essentially that I felt like your response to the fake truce banter on Day 0 felt a bit too preemptively defensive. Your behavior here reminded me vaguely of that.

Re: Watchmen [Day 0]

With all this activity, I kinda forgot we're still in Day 0. I'm off to work for the next 7-8 hours, but please keep it up. The more I have to read when I get back, the happier I'll be.

Okay. I'd rather vote for G-Man than you anyway. :)
How settled are you on that choice? I have been alarmed at how early people decide on suspects in games here, but I'm getting more used to it as I play more. It just seems to be the way y'all do it. That does not mean I agree with it though. If the Day 1 poll went up right now without changeable votes, what would be the likelihood of you casting a vote for G-man?

A close-minded Day 1 (or Day anything) is a terrible way to approach the game, and policy lynches should be few and far between. MP is a player who I think will become easier to read later in games, but that doesn't mean I wish to give him a pass for any amount of time.

He's probably just fishing. I refuse to believe anyone can spot a baddie with 100% certainty on 1, let alone a Day 0. I have yet to meet anyone that good, if they even exist.
There is no doubt he's fishing, and I don't think he or anyone else would suggest that this suspicion is being stated with 100% certainty. But there is probably a reason why he chose your name out of the pack, and I'd like to to know what that is.
