I actually have to disagree on this statement

Because before you know it, everyone is ripping their pants off and the game loses its suspense value really

I tend to think mafia is a high stakes game meant to be chance-y and claiming doesnt take ALL the fun out of it, but it's definitely a frowned upon thing

I disagree with both of you.

Answer this question: How would we use said roleclaimed role info?

I want to see some more posts from IR.

I think we should opt to have him replaced soon if he doesn't show

I believe he posted once during this phase so far.

3 times at the beginning of this phase in fact. I don't want him replaced yet.

Whats forged? I don't think I've seen that term.

And no - the haircut guys couldn't get me in yet when I called them - but its going to look amazing.

Spoiler: show

Dom- Dom tends to be a problem for me. As friendship goes, I am probably closer to Dom on many levels than to anyone else on forum, he brings out my Momma Bear big time. I adore him to bits. And I always read him as bad. He often tends to derail me regardless of affiliation. He has this “sweep into the thread ask some rapid fire questions and leave” approach that feels like staccato barking out of questions, so I almost always read him as bad. So as far as I am concerned my opinion about him means zero. When I am playing in a game with Dom I almost never have an opinion about him, so I have to rely on the opinions of others to sort him.

DrWilgy – Dr Wilgy is a fun, quixotic character. I call him a “character” because he always plays in role as the Doctor. He is like me in that he has his own approach to things and this gets him mislynched at times. He has a good gut, but gets subject to paranoia, moreso when he’s civ. He’s someone who just generally *feels* bad or good to me in a way that I just can’t explain. He has a slightly almost mean tone that is utterly un-Wilgy like when he's bad.

Dyslexicon – I have only watched, never played with, Dizzy. Loves those cat gifs~ but I could not say if there are more gifs when Dizzy is town or not. Not seeing many gifs here.

Epignosis – Epi is another one that is playing a role imo; game Epi is much more arrogant, stubborn and aggressive than real Epi by far. It’s a good thing to try to remember when he gets under the skin When Epi is civ I tend to find him more approachable and more like real Epi, although he can be equally arrogant about his reads and super sure of himself regardless of affiliation. When he’s bad, in general, he comes across as more forbidding. If Epi is still alive halfway through the game it means one of two things~ either he is spectacularly off base as a civ OR he’s bad, and there is really no way of telling which is which. His opening post yesterday, about MP’s fucking book, made me feel OK about him.

Jack O”Hearts- I have only played one game with him and he was outed as a baddie Night 1, so I have never actually seen his civ game. I am fairly sure that is still the case :P

Long Con – I have been playing with LC for a looooong time. From my first or second game on Lostpedia back in 2009. There have been long stretches where one of us was not playing, so it has not been continuous. LC has, to my eye, a certain tone when he’s bad, he just *feels* slick, for lack of a better word, when he’s bad. More opportunistic; he has a trickster feel that I find mostly absent when he’s bad. He took a long break last year, as did I, and I feel he changed somewhat over that time. He feels lighter and less intense than he used to feel. But that bit of slickness is still there~ I saw it in Survivor, and I do not see it at all here. But I don’t think I read him as well as I used to do.

MP- I love MP like a brother. And like brothers and sisters, we fight, sometimes quite fiercely. We can, and have, derailed a thread. If this happens we are either civs or teammates. I think we avoid confrontation more when one of us is bad and the other is not. He tends to overanalyze. He can come to brilliant conclusions this way, but he can also box himself into a corner. When he is bad, he still posts his walls of text, but he often jumps to conclusions that are not necessarily supported by the walls o’text. He gets a tiny bit of a bwa ha ha roleplay baddieness, but it’s only a tad. I have not seen it yet, but it is only Day One. It is especially apparent when he gets mad. His hissy fit sounds more sincere when he’s civ, it sounds like false outrage when bad.

nutella – Another one I have been playing with on and off since 2009. Nutellas game has been remarkably consistent since that time. She tends to put her thought process in the thread, and sees both sides of a story. That’s a good thing, but people tend to read it as bad, for some reason people often tend to see the ability to see both sides of a story and not jump to conclusions as "waffling" or some such thing. I can tend to do the same thing, so I am familiar with it. She gets mislynched a lot for it. She also comes across as shifty at times, and will change her mind rapidly on votes if someone makes a point she likes, and that often comes across as opportunistic to people. She is an easy lynch for baddies, especially in games like this where she does not know many of the players, not unlike Llama. She has a super quick mind and can be very insightful and she often catches small things others miss. To be honest, I can never tell whether she is bad or not most of the time, other than through her opinions. We tend to agree on others more often than not when we’re civ, so when we don’t I want to know why.

sprityo – my main experience with sprit is the one day we had as civvies together in the GOC, when he was also hosting a very busy game at the same time. In that one day, he had the insight to protect the right person, the person targeted for a kill (me) and subsequently he got a kill. His gut was 100% spot on with his original choice for the kill, Bea, a baddie who had pretty much pulled the wool over everyone elses eyes hard, but he listened to the suggestion of a wild marmot and NKed a low poster instead. The guy had mad good instincts in my short experience with him. I have no basis of comparison to discuss his bad game.


thellama73 – I left Llama in even though he is gone. Llama is the one person I am pretty much unable to read. He is NEVER sincere early in games. He is always playful and irreverent and rather indifferent to the fate of the people he targets for a vote for ludicrous reasons. This is not affiliation indicative. Because I can never read his tone for sincerity, I pay extreme attention to Llama in games on day one, more than I pay to anyone else really. He is ever so slightly more serious when he is bad, and he is more deprecating when bad as well. He worries about how he looks, which he absolutely never does when civ. When he’s civ, and getting lynched, he gets a semi hysterical tone to his defense, a more pissy tone when he’s bad. It’s a vague difference. He is very astute, and thinks nothing like I do, but we somehow often come to similar conclusions when he finally starts playing the game and stops frolicking.

This is my meta reads list on Syndicate people ^^

I will try to do a HCR list later, but I will have to do ISOs for that, but I need to do them anyhow.

It's generally polite to give at least one reason.

Slightly Town:
colonialbob: Participating early and often, unafraid to lead discussion and ask questions
gfishfunk: More aggressive than normal. I'm interpreting that as town but it doesn't have to be.

Uncertain:
S~V~S: At first I felt like the how many ME games are there discussion was making a mountain out of a molehill, but I liked the most recent post I saw responding to MP, so one plus and one minus gets me back to uncertain
Jackofhearts2005: Typical blustery. I'd see both town/scum Jack posting meta reads. Drunk posting makes me more inclined to believe he's town, but I wouldn't put it past scum Jack to fake drunk posting.
Long Con: I like his interactions with Bob, Silver, and S~V~S, but the rhymes and the images posted seem more like distractions.
Dyslexicon: A lot of fluff posts, but also a post that is more substantive than anything anyone else has put out, so I'm not sure what to make of playstyle yet
MovingPictures07: TBD; Swamping the thread when I started compiling my reads, haven't really looked through his recent posts yet

Slightly scum:
Fredwood: A lot of early on joking-around posts, hasn't been back since the thread picked up though
DrWilgy: Has asked a lot of questions but hasn't really provided his own opinions
thellama73: Seemed to deliberately misinterpret LC's question to Bob
Silver_Lantern: So far mostly involved in that discussion about how many ME games there are
CaptainNifty: A little too prickly for my liking at this point

Null reads: Not enough content yet
