Re: [ENDGAME] Triskaidekaphobia Mafia

GG civs. You guys got us fair and square :nicenod:

That GMan Indie peek really threw me for a loop. I probably should have just run with it.

I'm afraid I'll have to try harder next time. Thanks for the game, Rico!

Re: [Day 4] Triskaidekaphobia Mafia

Finished reading back.

[quote="GMan]Scotty claims he is civ and not indy. I have to consider that I am what is called a Confused Cop, where my peek results are not completely trustworthy. My peek was correct Day 0 and Night 2. Night 1 is unconfirmed and Night 3 was blocked. If it's as simple as an every-other pattern, I would expect my Night 4 peek to be accurate.
[/quote]
Wait- Is that your role description? If so, why are you just now revealing this? Or is that just a hypothesis?

With the 3 roles basically surmised I see no way you were influenced to get my role wrong via outside presences. So either there's something of your role you don't know about. Or you're bad.

I fully believe Wilgy is a jailor. I'm not satisfied you're not just a liar.

I'm voting GMan.

Not far fetched, but wrong.

the "factions" thing on Elo's role description sounds pretty clear cut to me as there being indies. I however, am not Mafia or indie as would be suggested.

G-Man wrote:Best guess from my end is that Scotty is denying it for two reasons:

1) He's got an either/or win-con and knows the baddie team is still in tact and might still have a shot at winning

2) He doesn't want the baddies to NK him out of concern that his role could be threat to them


After getting my peek on Scotty, I did consider the fact that the accuracy of my peeks may be in question. Scoring an indy peek right out of the gate is lucky, and I considered it as possibly too good to be true. INH and Eloh's peeks being confirmed as they are gives me hope that my Scotty peek is also correct. His dismissal of indy roles early on, as Quin noted, adds credibility in my mind but it could be a coincidence.

Getting Scotty's peek on Night 1 is why I said my GTH reads needed adjusting on Day 2. I didn't want to post a revised list early in the phase because Scotty had been my #1 suspicion on Day 1 and I didn't want to draw attention to his slide in my suspects list. Someone would have wanted to know why and there wasn't anything Scotty said in the thread to justify such a drop. That might have been conspicuous to attentive players. Thankfully, the JJJ v. Epi cage match ensued and no one asked about why Scotty slipped to #3 on my list.


3.StephenKing
Why did I slip to #3 on your list of 4?
Did you peek someone on N0?
Do you still think your peek could possible be too good to be true, and neither one of us are lying?

I believe it's plausible. Here's my question for you though:

If G-Man faked the peek and got lucky when Elohcin fell for it, that still implies he is not on her team. So if he is good, what is the purpose of faking an indy peek on you -- especially as a night phase is ending when he might be about to die and thus unable to ever reveal the truth of that fake peek?
Dunno. Indie is oddly specific. I think another possibly theory is there is a mechanic in this game that puts a lens through his peeks? If he really is the cop, there's some sort of hijinx at play here.

If he is bad, then like I said earlier, Elo could have been a planned target. Maybe she knew her goose was cooked, and let GMan be the one to assign the scapegoat. This would get him huge Cred, but you are right that it's a far-fetched idea if he doesn't survive the night.

If I were an independent at all, why not just roll with it and convince everyone I am a well-intentioned indie even if I wasn't?

I'm flat-out denying I am indie because my role says vanilla civ and I don't like being slandered. Lol I actually had to check and make sure I wasn't just missing out on something this game.
i dunno what else to say about that.
Again, if we're getting down to the skivvies and no one else looks enticing, (and GMan, the lying sack of potatoes, has been lynched if he hasn't been NK'd yet) just lynch me if you want to settle your minds.

Re: [Day 3] Triskaidekaphobia Mafia

G-Man wrote:Beautiful catch there Quin. I think you're on to something. One thing that points me slightly to S~V~S as an Eloh teammate is Polo's death. If S~V~S is a baddie, I can almost guarantee that one of the things she told her teammates was to watch out for Polo. He caught on to S~V~S in BSG and it led to a downfall that came sooner than we'd have liked. It's easy to be leery of players who were just baddies because their behavior is freshest in your memory.

Now, S~V~S has had a lot of real life stuff going on so far this game. Initially, that made me waver on her as a baddie because she is committed to a team. She doesn't give up or leave teammates hanging out of negligence. She's going under the radar this game, hiding her online status. I'm not sure if she always does that but I feel like I remember her status being visible during BSG. Her last post anywhere on The Syndicate was early Saturday evening before the lynch post even dropped. With her hidden status, it's impossible to know if she logged in for night time BTSC but it is possible that she has been absent from the game and site since then.

It's a bit of a stretch just now but here goes:

1) S~V~S subs in for one of the quiet players.

2) Eloh knows that at least one of them is a teammate of hers that she hasn't been in contact with, so she asks S~V~S who she's subbing in for.

3) On Night 1, S~V~S tells them to keep an eye out for Polo because he helped bring her down hard in BSG.

4) S~V~S disappears an hour before the D2 lynch post and doesn't come back during the night.

5) Frustrated by not having all three minds present to come up with their kill, Eloh and her other BTSC partner opt for Polo because he's barely playing (which won't disrupt any of the finger-pointing taking place) and S~V~S warned them that he can be very dangerous if he figures any of them out.


Polo was a very weird kill. I'm going to spend time over lunch processing it more.


Linki: I can't tell if Scotty is just denying it or if he is in fact hostile to the civvie cause.

Double linki: S~V~S's last post before now was on Saturday, an hour before the lynch post.


3.05
GMan, if you did in fact check me, and it came back Indie, there is some tomfoolery somewhere. I swear I am villa. So can you see from my perspective of why I'm rather hostile towards you? The good news is that even if you are full of shit, Elo outed herself. So your little gambit worked out.

Lynch me after the first 2 or 3 or however many Mafia are killed and if we still didn't win, then go ahead and lynch me if you're in doubt. I'm not doing much for the civ cause right now even if y'all did believe me. This week is hell like I said.

With Polo dead, I gotta go to the drawing board.
To answer your question, JJJ, I could see an Elo/GMan/Epi team. Or throw SVS in there. That's IF you are good, JJJ. I'm leaning civ on you now that Polo is dead and your posts after Elo outed herself.

Re: [Day 3] Triskaidekaphobia Mafia

Sorry I'm playing like poop y'all. I've been predisposed.

And looky looky what the cat dragged in.

You know what's funny? I was going to play along with GMan's ploy in calling me indie, and make up something because I knew he was full of crap, but his red peek of Elo compounded with her flat out confession made me pause.

I am not indie. I am a vanilla town, and you can take that to the bank.

The amount of time between what appears to be an Elo call out from GMan and Elo's "blowing up" if you will is very quick in the big scope of things. I feel like this whole thing was planned on GMan's part.
What I don't understand in this scenario is a bad Elo being so eager in the early game wanting to be bussed at this point. Is that a gambit that Mafia would employ this early just to add habanero to the soup?

I will be voting Elo but I guess I wonder if she would have a trick up her sleeve or else GMan does.

I can assure you that GMan is NOT the cop, and got lucky with the Elo "peek".

Hello fam! I am alive! Unlike INH. Rip INH.

I have a show in an hour that I need to prepare for, but in the meantime, Polo and JJJ have my evil eye. I'm not really putting in the effort necessary to make a compelling case for Polo to get you guys to vote with me for him, but I'm CONVINCED he is bad. He was lurking again and not posting I just saw. 4 or so posts! Come on!

That being said, I'm open to more people tomorrow. Still sporadic, so I'm giving it one more day. If y'all can convince me on someone other than polo, I'll be your free agent, whatever. I'm about to get cr8zy

Re: [Night 1] Triskaidekaphobia Mafia

Ugh man I hate being behind. I'm getting close to asking for a replacement, and that is something I have never done. But my schedule right now is beyond busy for the next week, and I'm going to have a hard time doing analysis like I usual do. If that is grounds for you to vote for me, then there's not much I can do about that.
JaggedJimmyJay wrote:Scotty, your Day1phobia is no longer applicable. What are your reads on every player?
I have caught up, but am not referencing specific posts right now cause I have 45 minutes. Thoughts in general as they come:

Off the top of my head, looking at the polls, I see a bunch of people jumping on the Vomps wagon and would not be surprised if 1-2 Mafia are on that.
I can't tell from Rico's poll post, but did Polo ever vote? Y'know, he was my main suspicion all day, and for someone to basically come in to say "I see nothing suspicious" and then avoid the poll entirely? Come on, mate. I see you lurking even now, and you're still not involved. THAT is where my vote should go but let's move on for now.

SVS and Daisy are the stragglers on that train, and I don't even remember why they voted for Vomps to begin with.

JJJ/Epi feud is cute. Im sorry you're having comp troubles. Welcome to MafiaPhoneLand! Where it takes 5 minutes to highlight that particular sentence you want to underline!
Your red peek/not red peek/lol peek was some strange tactic, and I see arguments for both alignments. What I DONT like is how WIFOMY you have been this phase. Shit like, "if I were bad I wouldn't kill sig", or "if I were bad, what purpose would I have in making fake claims?" Is not a good look for you, especially, JJJ. It's a sloppy way for -you- to play, let alone a JoBloMafiaPlayer.
Question: Why am I looking bad to you?

GMan: I saw you said I looked "twitchy" or something day 1. That's the gist I got as to why you were trying to start a train on me. I don't know what defines twitchy, but I'll take that as a compliment. Id rather be twitchy than lax and lazy, tbh. What is your current stance on me, and what do you think of the other people laying low right now?

Epi: you're an enigma. I said so truthfully when we both were bad before, and I say it again. I can't read you. But I see no fault in your going after me for assuming I am putting on airs for my day 1 shenanigans. I don't blame you for that assumption, and I'm not gonna lie- I'm not gonna stop doing what I normally do on day 1 regardless of my alignment. I figure I'll get lynched far less frequently and I'll avoid NK's as well on the first day. That's my hope anyway.

Something Epi said in Mafia chat during the office (or maybe it was LoRab?) is the theory that Mafia are far more likely to start trains than pile on, so I wouldn't rule out Elo or rabbit as potential Mafia mates.

Rabbit: why DID you vote for Vomps? I don't remember seeing an answer to that.

Elo: you seem more involved in this game than previous ones. Epi said you were more inclined to be preoccupied during games which is why you avoid the big jobs. This game you seem...eager, I guess? Dunno if there's anything to read from that.

Wilgy: was the other person who "peeked" day 1. Said INH was green. Wilgy, did you get any more "peeks" today? Was yours a one-time thing? Are you just a liar liar pants on fire? Do you believe in love?

INH: where are you.

I'm voting Polo right now, mostly because I saw him on here and he hasn't posted anything of note.

Gotta run: Ill check back on Saturday. I'm sorry I don't have the time to post more, I'll give what I can. my gf comes in from out of town tonight and I haven't seen her in over 3 months. Gotta prepare, and I've got shows all weekend, plus sightseeing all next week. Again, trying not to get replacement and if I absolutely have to request one, I will so the game doesn't suffer

Polo was also a major contributor in Battlestar Galactica. That's kind of the problem for me, actually. Are we going to say that Polo's meta can be described as simply as "active = town, inactive = scum"? He strikes me as quite a capable player. When he gives us so little, I feel inclined to give him a little time to find his footing.
I'm not one to usually follow meta, as I've said before. But I figured you were and would be more likely to take issue with that. His gameplay in BSG I didn't even register.

My day 1 is much more voting for someone that is not participatory and doesn't seem to take issue about it, not just how they usually act. As such, Vomps and Polo are my suspicions right now.

If the President of the United States was playing and was just like "hey guys, nah I don't feel like talking because there's nothing to talk about, PEACE" I would vote him faster than you can say Wilkes Booth.



i understand I am probably now on a watch list for that comment :eek:

Polo is the standard issue bottom-tier content guy that's in every game. In my experience, that's not a strong indicator that someone is bad. He could be, but I have no clue. Vompatti has at least shown evidence that he cares about receiving votes (which I wouldn't anticipate from him in his town body), and he also contributed to the awful no lynch wagon.

I don't agree. I think some of you need to provide me with some freaking cover. I understand that claiming and infodumping are weird things in this environment, but that's the game we're playing. It's legal, and it's necessary. This is how we prevent a confirmed townie from being lynched. This is how we protect our most important roles. I'll return to a conversation I had in the first spectator chat for a heist game on this site:
Spoiler: show
JaggedJimmyJay wrote:
MovingPictures07 wrote:Talk to me about peeks. This is something I feel the players definitely should have employed here, but many of them could be unaware of that strategy completely.
To those who might be unaware of what MP is referring to, a "fake peek" in this setup is an unambiguous read planted into the thread by any player other than the cop meant to appear like it was brought on by the free ID that the cop receives at the start of the game. A "peek" is the same thing except provided by the real cop. I think there are a couple significant benefits to this:

1.) It's the most fundamental method of cop cover, something that is definitely necessary to protect the cop from the sort of misfortune FZ experienced in this Night 1. If players leave fake peeks in the thread and are convincing about it, they might draw night kills from the mafia -- and a vanilla townie being killed is less damaging to the town cause than the cop being killed. It's a form of self-sacrifice and it's very important. This might seem like something from another planet in this Syndicate environment where many people are accustomed to survival being paramount. :p

2.) It's extremely valuable as a means of generating objective evidence. Players can be read based upon their position in the fake peek scenario. The most significant example of this comes in the form of "SHC" (seer hunt cleared) opportunities. They call it SHC on 2+2 and elsewhere because they tend to play within the "Werewolf" aesthetic more than "Mafia", so you could also call it "CHC" (cop hunt cleared).

What this means is that fake peeks and night kill selections can be analyzed together to get conclusive evidence that a player is innocent. I'll draw an example out using RYM names:

JaggedJimmyJay says on Day 1 "I think Sloonei is a strong town read and will not participate in his lynch today." or more literally "Sloonei is my free peek."

On Night 1, the mafia kill JJJ and he flips vanilla townie.

This means Sloonei is seer hunt cleared -- because in this setup the mafia have a massive motivation to eliminate the cop as quickly as possible, and any night kill choice prior to the cop's demise can be reasoned as an attempt to kill the cop. In this case, the mafia would have killed JJJ thinking he is the cop and that Sloonei is his free peek. If they believe this, then it is impossible for Sloonei to be mafia because the free peek cannot be mafia. Any player who leaves a fake peek that ends up being a mafia player by default cannot be the cop (barring intentional fudging, but this is difficult and rare), and the mafia understand this.

However, there is also some added risk if everyone employs this strategy. As I said, any player who leaves a fake peek on a mafioso by mistake is close to eliminated from contention for being the cop -- and this helps the mafia team narrow down the pool of possibilities. For this reason, it is crucial that players only leave fake peeks on people who they genuinely feel are solid town reads.

Along with this, it's paramount that the cop him/herself leave the necessary breadcrumbs to allow everyone else to know what his/her peeks were in the event of an untimely death. It is a shame when the free peek or any subsequent peek gets lynched because the townies were unable to discern who they were within the cop's content. For this reason, unambiguous reads are often needed for the sake of clarity in that analysis -- and cover is needed from the vanilla townies to ensure the mafia can't isolate the cop based upon those unambiguous reads.

This is why a few of those champs games went into Insane Mode with five or six people all claiming to be the cop. It confuses the mafia their hunt -- and the townies too if people aren't careful.
I probably wouldn't have revealed my n0 peek if I'd realized there'd be so little cover for me here and so much trepidation about the information I'm putting forth. Spare me your fright, y'all! This ain't your pappie's full game. We're on my turf now. ;)
Why would the real cop be the first to come out with a peek expecting more to follow suit? If you're opinion of coming out was predicated so much on "getting cover" why even come out at all? You can't just assume everyone will start breadcrumbing and playing with your style of play. The first person to come out with a peek is already the one that will be getting the mafia's eye anyway.

This is silly talk.

You're a banana in a fruit basket of apples, and asking the apples to put on their banana costumes.

Also you're not the cop since I know both you and JJJ aren't cops. There is no world were either of you are cops, I do however know what JJJ is doing with saying I was his peek. Or a random villager got a random peek which does happen in some games. Either way JJJ isn't the cop.

Until today I was the only one to bother. If nobody wants to give me cover then I'll just get killed anyway.

It is clear JJJ is providing cover for the real cop whoever he is, I'm not sure if Wilgy is doing the same or not.

I will most likely vote for Wilgy or SVS today.

As for my feelings on JJJ. I am not paying too much attention to his claims. I don't think we can put too much weight on it yet. Players claim things all the time (whether it be about themselves or others) that may or may not be true. I'm not too concerned. It could go like this:
1. he is the cop. Yay, he can help us find mafia.
2. he is not the cop, but the real cop is too scared to come forth b/c he might get nightkilled so we keep on thinking he's the cop
3. he's not the cop, but the real cop calls him out on it (but who's to say that the player who calls him out on it is the real cop. maybe the player who calls him out is just concerned that JJJ IS the real cop and is afraid the mafia will kill him, so he claims to be cop as a distraction to the mafia)
4. Maybe there is no damn cop in this game so we all go on thinking JJJ must be the cop.
There is way too much speculation that can happen on this subject, so I say :p

sig's response was calm and collected. this makes me think he is civ.

@ sig - I am not sure who else I am considering. I think it will partly depend on scotty's response to this post :D
Lol "sig" always corrects on my phone to "dog" and these days I have a 40% chance to miss the autocorrect. And sometimes I just leave it because I like dogs.

I agree that those are the scenarios for JJJ, but which of 1-4 do you believe JJJ is doing?

As for sig...I keep going back to what he said in a past game: if he appears civ, he is probably bad, so lynch him. When he is obviously bad, he's probably good.

I don't know how that translates to this game, but I'm not pushing it since I'm still playing along with the scenario that JJJ is in fact the cop.
What a paradox if I'm playing a good civ game I must be bad. But, people are trying to lynch me I must be a civ. :sigh:

JaggedJimmyJay wrote:Anyone unfamiliar with peeks should look at the Arrested Development game. I don't have a link, I'm on my phone.
I looked it over and it appears 5 different people claimed to be the cop with peeks. According to Mp, he was trying to even the playing field so the Mafia didn't know who to kill.

There are a few problems with this:
If everyone claims cop, who should we believe?
How does the doctor (if there is one) know who to protect? In your game, JJJ, there was no doctor afaik. So I suppose the multiple peek show worked for that game. However:
2 of the 5 "peek"ers were actually Mafia.

At this point, if you are not the cop, then you're either a ballsy civ or a double ballsy Mafia. If no one else claims peek, the straightforwardness helps us because as far as we know, you are cop. Which clears dog

I doubt that even one of the power roles would be considered as an indie. And indie does not equal vanilla. I would bet a lot of money that there are no indies in this game.

I've created a program that goes into every poster's game history, specifically games where they were bad, and sees what their top phrases or words are. It then contrasts those with the top words or phrases from a persons post history when they were good. It then eliminates the words that were on both lists, leaving us with that person's tells. After that, it goes into this thread, and sees how many times someone uses words or phrases identified as tells. The higher that number is, the more likely chance you are to be bad. This was a bitch to make, and it's something I've worked on for a long time, a bit of a pet project if you will.

Now, of course, because of the limited sample size, the program is more likely to be incorrect these first few days, but, as more and more people post, I know more and more about their role.

The reason why I find 3J suspicious is because he seems to be doing the same sort of thing that I did in that game, where I was a chaos independent.

You think JJJ is independent or bad? I don't know is Chaos Independent was a role or alignment.
I'm not sure of his alignment in this crazy closed set up, but he's done enough to make my eyebrow twitch.

My role in that game was Media, who gained powers everytime her name was mentioned. These powers completely disrupted and detailed the thread. That's why I called her a "chaos independent."
I'm not so sure a heist game would have independents. Correct me if I'm wrong, someone. But aren't these little games much more simple?

This is very interesting to me. I love to hear about how things go on other sites, even though I don't plan on ever playing anywhere other than here. I can only imagine how I would be grilled for voting someone Day 1 just because I didn't like their name or had a certain dream about them. Of course there is the occasional random vote on Day 1 here, but it always seem sot be a controversial issue. And it's usually professed as "random", not excused with a silly explanation.
In our original home cultures, Day 1 votes have, for the most part, generally been srs bsns. Someone is gonna die based on our votes, how not srs? People always tended to take flak for trivial voting reasons, randomizing, etc.

@G-Man, yeah, I always tend to get a residual baddie BTS effect the next few games, lol. Oddly, it tends to effect me the opposite way, I tend to want to trust my bad partner from a recent intense game like BSG was.

I didn't invite a self-lynch. This is the first suspicious post of the game.
In your opinion.
In my opinion, too, tbh.

I understood clearly what Jay was saying. I am not sure how you would interpret it otherwise?
I've already answered this. I can't help if you, GMan and JJJ find it suspicious. But good to know you think that post is also the first suspicious post of the game.

My current propensity is to vote Polo today, unless he shows up.

Disagreement is not the same as shutting down. I have been completely successful in getting this game moving thankyouverymuch. :noble:
You know, this got me thinking- how do day 1 conversations take off? Someone making a bold statement? Someone disagreeing with principles? It always just seems to flow organically, but I'm never sure of how or why.

"Getting the game moving" does not necessarily translate to civ behavior, mind you. I would hope everyone just likes to talk about things having to do with the game. Hell, I have no filter so I just talk about whatever's goin on in my head, regardless of my alignment. Gets me into trouble a lot, but whatever. Until we get to a day 1 flip, I don't think the game has taken off.

Blah blah blah shut up Scotty.

Also this is my 19th post, which is a good number. :beer:
