Re: Battlestar Galactica Mafia - Day One

Wow I crashed on the couch mid contest and return to almost 300 posts. Time to start at the very beginning.

So say we all (again).

Just a point; a lot of people on this forum go invisible. When you pick on people who are visible and reading the thread as lurking, the REAL invisible lurkers chuckle.

Just saying.

Good job puzzle solvers. You were better off without me, I suck at those things.

Already?

I do like your engagement and posting level so far and am also lightly townreading you as well as Polo and DrumBeats for actively trying to game solve and DrumBeats is already scumhunting.

The way I play, for those that don't know, is I try to find town if I don't have a good scumread so I can narrow things down.

Very minor FoS on SVS and Gman for posting but saying nothing of substance. I'd like to see more here since they were around and didn't do anything to solve the puzzle.
On occasion you might see me later than 9 or 10, but not much later.

And what does fos mean again? I know it is "finger of" but I forget the last part. I recall you mentioning it before.

Re puzzle solvers: Civvies or cred seekers. Golden said there were limited chances to solve and time limits. I would guess that would mean negative consequences for NOT solving since I don't see positive results for having solved it (unless the puzzle solvers got something not publicized in thread). His initial post doesn't mention consequence or reward.

I don't doubt baddies would white knight on the puzzle solving for cred to the point of solving it; I have seen people, notably aapje, doing this in the past. Especially if you are someone people expect it of. So I won't give people special cred for doing it BUT with no mention of consequences, I don't see a motivation for Scotty or polo specifically to do it since their puzzleyness is unknown to most of us. I would not expect it of them, so I would not have noticed it had they not.

By the same token, I am not going to base much in the way of baddie reads on lack of puzzle solving participation.

I am piqued by JJJs change of usual course.

JJJ, I am ok with you doing your usual patented JJJ civ thing with me. Although we did not always agree (I had such a hard time letting go of Scotty being bad, lol) I rather enjoyed it in Turf Wars.

Re: Battlestar Galactica Mafia - Day One

Also, it's kinda funny to see people complaining about having to click the "view results" doodad in order to see the poll. We have only been using changeable votes for a relatively short time, so clicking it as soon as I come in the thread is still autopilot for me.

That makes sense. I kept thinking it meant Finger of Shame, and I knew that couldn't be right. I guess I had it mixed up with cone of shame, like you put on dogs .

And I read the rules in the sign up thread and did the 'So Say We All" there, and forgot I had to do it again here. It did make it into my second post :noble: I just reread the rules again and they look a little more complex than they did in the sign up thread.

I have a super busy weekend, but will be around early mornings and in the evening.

in the time it took juliets to say this, she could've googled "battlestar galactica" and "toasters" and probably come up with the answer herself. Hrm.

But right now, my FoS (as people have called it) is squarely on RicoTech.
I did google battlestar galactica and couldnt find it. I googled battlestar galactica toasters and I got toasters that had galactica emblems or something on them. So i asked.

Re: Battlestar Galactica Mafia - Day One

Oh reading back I see Rico already answered. I started watching the show, and thought I missed some backstory, and find there was a mini series. So I am pretty much in the dark, too.

But the host says we don't NEED to know canon,but it helps. So say we all.

Of course, we all know Galen Tyrol is alive and kicking, but we all need to be used to the solving these puzzles because Galen Tyrol may die any die and the only way we could be able to save our butts could be to solve these things.

I must ask, however, where exactly I "used meta" on you, in contradictory fashion or otherwise?
actualy it was JJJ, but still my former point still stands
Does it? In merely two lines we went from discussing your town read on her to having a discussion on principles regarding how would Silver behave if bad and why it would be without any plausible variation.
yes, it still stands. i know her play and what she does and doesnt do as town and scum, you know you can ask her as well. asking me about it looks like a different thing entirely and a way to discredit me and cast doubt
In all sincerity & with respect, could you let us learn to get our own reads on the two of you? This is literally all you talk about, ika. We are smart people, we will figure it out.

I agree, I have not said very much of value. And most of the talk was about puzzle solving up to that point when I last posted. I work off of pings,and the only thing that has pinged me so far was Rico.

I certainly don't think it's a problem that he has offered point-and-counterpoint contests to Matt's theories, because that's exactly what Rico does in Mafia.

I don't think I am inclined to give Matt any similar sort of pseudo-meta credit, because he proved in the 2015 GOC that wild theorizing is a characteristic of everything Matt, not town Matt.
I agree about Matt, not about Rico. Rico is trying to look civvie. Contrast his first big pst before anyone responded to him with his posts in GOC. Different person. I don't even understand Matts case on him,and as far as I can tell by where I am at this time, ikas entire case on him revolves around how Rico is reading him & Silverwolf. Yawn.

Posting as I catch up (but who doesn't know that's how I roll by now? :slick: ) so if this has been answered already, my apologies.


Based on the show, the Cylons are kind of like the Borg in TNG - in that their goal is to eradicate all humans. So in the show, Cylons regularly try to hunt down the caravan of human ships that is traveling all around the universe trying to find a new home for all humans.

If I'm understanding this role/so forth correctly, I would correlate it to the opening event of the cipher. It is possible something like that would happen again, and if not solved, we would suffer a Cylon attack on the fleet. With Tyrol around, he can hold the fleet together with duct tape and bubble gum... and hopefully we should be fine. Without him... well, let's not even go there, the description of what could happen is pretty clear.

However, I'm not sure if that's all exactly true, just kind of what I assumed based on the show and so forth. Does that help?
Thanks, Indi, it does. I think. Did this affect opening puzzle solving, becasue that is what I meant. I assume that THAT had consequences.

G-Man wrote:All this back-and-forth reminds me of my tinnitius-it's distracting and even annoying at times but there's no avoiding it so you just have to work through it. I've got notes on only about 1/3 of the players so far. I'm in no position to judge because my participation has been minimal up to now but sheesh. Big game is big and quiet players are quiet.
If you're willing to share those notes, assuming they're about reads alone, then that'd be swell. It'd be something substantive to discuss instead of whatever we've had for the last 600 posts.
As long as me posting my notes gets me at least a mild town read from the mighty JJJ, I'll gladly share. ;)

DrumBeats stood out initially for jumping right in and requesting a letter without any discussion. It was a rush to judgement that was poor but, given that nobody (I assume) knew the puzzle was ciphered, it's far from indicative. Being helpful on a puzzle is neither here nor there, really. At least he picked what is normally a high-frequency letter.

Epignosis also jumped right in an declared a letter for the puzzle. He picked E, which I assume served a dual purpose- his name begins with E and it's the highest-frequency letter (not just vowel) in the English language. He tried a few guesses and we haven't head from him since. It's Epi, so I'm resisting the natural impulse to assume he's up to no good.

Ika said someone silenced him but for how long? I assume that it had something to do with not following the rules. He seemed willfully defiant of the voting rules, which is odd, given that votes are not changeable. And a loving eye-roll for the heated discussion of how he knows Silverwolf on an ESP kind of level. I remember that from E.S.T. Mafia and I've come to know quite quickly just to not get caught up in that. Smile and nod. :nicenod:

JaggedJimmyJay got some kudos in my book for not handing out town cred just for helping on the puzzle. I had an eyebrow twitch when he said he wasn't going to do the usual JJJ ISO rallies of awesomeness that he is loved/hated for but that hasn't crossed over into concern yet. I thought your early Toaster Reads on DrumBeats and Silverwolf were intriguing but I will have to go back at some point to remember why (I wrote that note hours ago and this game is proceeding too fast for me to remember much of anything).

LoRab shared my notice of Ika's voting noncompliance but I thought she may have been a little too quick to jab at him with it in the thread. Full disclosure- I am always prone to suspecting her. For some reason my suspiciometer (pronounced suh-spish-E-ah-mi-ter) has always been hardwired against her. She was the first person I noticed that suggested the Toasters might not have BTSC. At first I thought it was a strange point to throw out there but the more others have discussed the potential for atypical setup structure, the more I try to see this as honest conjecture. She fell into the Ika-knows-Silverwolf trap too. :rolleyes:

Metalmarsh89 seemed initially silly but that Epi vote out of nowhere for no reason has me scratching my head. His posts haven't bore much substance but I feel like that's not out of the ordinary for him. That barking marmot gif he posted felt a little passive-aggressive though.

Matt is an enigma to me. I've played very few games (possibly only one?) with him and I believe I've been wrong about him every time. His early suggestion of Scotty doing the puzzle as a cred grab is bold and probably a little too Keyser Soze for Day 1 (and believe me, I know Keyser Soze). His opinion that some humans might be on the mafia team also seems far-fetched. Maybe I'm reading the separation between Humans and Toasters too literally but it's a convenient way to read the roles for me for now. To his credit, he's not afraid to throw some crazy ideas out there that might make people look at him like he's got two heads (or maybe just a robotic head). It would be easier to keep those crazy ideas to himself but perhaps Matt is known for that by now and people would be suspicious of him for not doing so.

Polo seemed to be very adept at solving the cipher. He also threw out civ cred a little quickly for those helping on the cipher. There was a brief back-and-forth with ObscureAllure (who I remember from a forum long long ago as a confident and headstrong player with a lot of grit and spit) but I don't know how much to read into that, if at all.

Ricochet is a developing read. I would have thought he'd have noted from hosting E.S.T. that arguing with Ika about Silverwolf is a fools errand. He rejected the notion that humans could be mafia from the start but he thinks it's possible that there could be two BTSC groups amidst Team Toaster. The latter is an interesting theory based off of the name colors in the role list. Has anyone split those names out yet between red and green?

Silverwolf said she was suspicious of S~V~S and I for not helping with the puzzle. That's all I have for her. I just like to keep tabs on who suspects me.

That's all the notes I have for now. Other players have posted but nothing gave me a noteworthy impression just yet. I'll start back a few pages tonight if I can and see if anything else jumps out at me.
These are not reads,they are summaries. And they were made:
G-Man said: As long as me posting my notes gets me at least a mild town read from the mighty JJJ, I'll gladly share. ;)
To get some cred.

He says what all of these people may or may not have done to get his attention, but he makes no judgment or hasno real opinion on any of it.

Like this:

Re: Battlestar Galactica Mafia - Day One

Rico, in your first big post you went on at length about how you found it so odd that I missed the salute. And you brought it up again later.And you kept that running list. It looked like a list of people you planned to suspect. That looked like Rico looking for a reason to find me suspicious, tbh. Had you said something like that when I called you on it, that you actually found it suspect, I would have been like, OK, I disagree, but whatever. But you said it was a joke. I don't think it was a joke when you first said it,in this post.

1.1. I am rather surprised to find SVS among those who have not replied to the admiral's address properly, considering she used to be a similar rulemaker herself, not long time ago. Meanwhile, ika made such a fuss about disobeying this rule, his post seems surprisingly prudent. I am not sure if consequences such as treason charges, brig time or death will be decided by the Host, but I guess the cylon suspecting part would be our task, right? Any thoughts on these two players, in particular?

A full list of people who have disobeyed rule 1, so far, is as follows:

DrumBeats
nutella
SVS
MetalMarsh89
Vompatti

1.2. I applaud the flavor and lore of the "Day 0" task, but such short-timed tasks, contests or events of such nature will prove problematic, if one is not around during that time zone. Just my two pennies.

1.3. On the issue of the final five, their reveal and alignment and such. If lore is highly strong in this game, then I would expect the Final Five finding out their true identity to fall under "certain event" category; maybe Admiral Adama jumping the fleet to a certain location, or one of President Roslin's prophetic moments?

Furthermore, their true nature make the Final Five no doubt Cylons, as opposed to humans, which would compartalize them as anti-civilian, at best. However, given lore yet again, most of the Final Five remained loyal to the human cause, the only notable exception in the series having been Tory Foster, who didn't care no more what happens to the humans. If the Final Five in this game will be randomised, there's no real way of knowing which one might suffer a change of heart or not. I motion we consider them potential independents. The ratio of humans - cylons - independents wouldn't be outrageous, for this current roster (basically 15 - 8 - 5, which is a little more than GoC '16 proved to be).

1.4. I have no inclination to read into the intentions of those who have worked on deciphering the messages (or didn't) - good work on solving it, btw! I remember two past games with deciphering tiles (sorry if there were more I'm not recalling). In Death Note, a mostly mixed ensemble of civs, baddies and unkillable Shinigamis worked on cracking it. In Turf Wars, we indies had a challenge like that and our goal was common. I think Silverwolf's assessment of it is quite fair, but even there, if a person was frustrated by being called out whilst trying to solve the challenge (Polo, I think), that frustration could simply come from anyone who is trying to work it out. Then again, I am intrigued by Polo himself having used this very same angle to berate LoRab.

All in all, you are not getting reads from me based on how you contributed to the puzzles.

1.5. We have three players having voted straight out of the gate and this I'm interested in. I supposed Polo's vote was criticism for LoRab, although it also seems he didn't realise votes would not be changeable (plus in wrong format and all that), but I guess the Host pardoned him. Did @The Host also pardon ika's vote or is it stuck on null for this phase? I don't know what's so hard about using the "View results" button, tbqh.

That leaves MetalMarsh89, who voted early Epignosis without any reasoning and with a confusing vote post format which I'm confused whether it makes the vote valid or not. Anyway, in his case, I think his (rather annoying) early votes / no-reason votes shenanigans have been a long practice of him, unfortunately not backed every time by him being a civilian. I could therefore see myself voting to lynch him for it, toDay.

1.6. Regarding JJJ's stated intentions of gameplay, I'd just say play the way you want to play.

1.7. Lastly, we could always resort to a policy lynch on Matt. :nicenod:

I'm not much in the mood to post more, for now. If there'll be more cases coming up, I'll look into them, I guess.

I have rehearsals in an hour, after which I'll be around as much as possible for the EoD. I'm getting a real vibe now out of SVS waking up this morning and seeing an opportunity to point a stab at me, with farfetched analysis on top. I'll need to correlate this with the rest of her activity.
This morning? What did you think it was when I asked you yesterday about why you were obsessed with this? This did not come out of left field as you are implying. Do you have an opinion about G-Man?

no, realistically its not helpful. to further explain, in the FM games people would just make a giant chart of everyone's claims/flips/ect and thats all they would do. when they got suspicion thrown on them they would just do "OH IM MAKING A LIST"

i know i have done it before as well as scum
Yeah, I have to agree. Sometimes it is sincere, but I don't give autocred for rainbow lists, and I don't do them myself.

Good:

JJJ
ika
G-Man

Toastery:

Rico
Vompatti
LoRab

FoS: Ricochet

Richochet has been arguably the most vocal player this game, but looking back, Ricochet has provided nothing with his/her many posts. The only thing Rico did was attempt to discredit basically every other post. This is a very proscum approach because its sole purpose is to reduce town information. Rico has not provided a single town/toaster read iirc. In all of those posts, there is no reason to have no reads at all imo. I don't know meta, so I can't judge based on that, but nothing about this behavior strikes me as protown.

We're only about halfway (?) through the day though, so I'll hold my vote for now until later. Currently, my vote would rest with my FoS unless there is a convincing argument for somebody else later in the day.
@ Epi can you explain your read of Drumbeats? Even though I show up on his list, I feel pretty good about him.

This is my three bads:

Rico
G-Man
OA (somewhat less than the rest) for her unexplained Polo vote. Was it random? Was there a reason? Did no one at all catch her eye?

I gotta feed the dog, will be back before finishing my catch up and voting. I have to leave about 1 ish, and may not be back until after the poll ends.

Linki, I thought JJJ said that about playing longer than ika?

So Rico, you feel good about G-Man?

Astute note-taking on suspicions can be helpful. I've called a few people out in games past for suspecting me early and then buddying up to me later or vice versa. They aren't always baddies but it's nice to call people out on BS from time to time.
Town read on G-Man.
Now see,I got the exact opposite from this. G Man wis not a punch puller, and these reads are ALL pulled punches. The more I ISO the pair, the more I put G-Man in front of Rico.

G-Man wrote:All this back-and-forth reminds me of my tinnitius-it's distracting and even annoying at times but there's no avoiding it so you just have to work through it. I've got notes on only about 1/3 of the players so far. I'm in no position to judge because my participation has been minimal up to now but sheesh. Big game is big and quiet players are quiet.
If you're willing to share those notes, assuming they're about reads alone, then that'd be swell. It'd be something substantive to discuss instead of whatever we've had for the last 600 posts.
As long as me posting my notes gets me at least a mild town read from the mighty JJJ, I'll gladly share. ;)

DrumBeats stood out initially for jumping right in and requesting a letter without any discussion. It was a rush to judgement that was poor but, given that nobody (I assume) knew the puzzle was ciphered, it's far from indicative. Being helpful on a puzzle is neither here nor there, really. At least he picked what is normally a high-frequency letter.

Epignosis also jumped right in an declared a letter for the puzzle. He picked E, which I assume served a dual purpose- his name begins with E and it's the highest-frequency letter (not just vowel) in the English language. He tried a few guesses and we haven't head from him since. It's Epi, so I'm resisting the natural impulse to assume he's up to no good.

Ika said someone silenced him but for how long? I assume that it had something to do with not following the rules. He seemed willfully defiant of the voting rules, which is odd, given that votes are not changeable. And a loving eye-roll for the heated discussion of how he knows Silverwolf on an ESP kind of level. I remember that from E.S.T. Mafia and I've come to know quite quickly just to not get caught up in that. Smile and nod. :nicenod:

JaggedJimmyJay got some kudos in my book for not handing out town cred just for helping on the puzzle. I had an eyebrow twitch when he said he wasn't going to do the usual JJJ ISO rallies of awesomeness that he is loved/hated for but that hasn't crossed over into concern yet. I thought your early Toaster Reads on DrumBeats and Silverwolf were intriguing but I will have to go back at some point to remember why (I wrote that note hours ago and this game is proceeding too fast for me to remember much of anything).

LoRab shared my notice of Ika's voting noncompliance but I thought she may have been a little too quick to jab at him with it in the thread. Full disclosure- I am always prone to suspecting her. For some reason my suspiciometer (pronounced suh-spish-E-ah-mi-ter) has always been hardwired against her. She was the first person I noticed that suggested the Toasters might not have BTSC. At first I thought it was a strange point to throw out there but the more others have discussed the potential for atypical setup structure, the more I try to see this as honest conjecture. She fell into the Ika-knows-Silverwolf trap too. :rolleyes:

Metalmarsh89 seemed initially silly but that Epi vote out of nowhere for no reason has me scratching my head. His posts haven't bore much substance but I feel like that's not out of the ordinary for him. That barking marmot gif he posted felt a little passive-aggressive though.

Matt is an enigma to me. I've played very few games (possibly only one?) with him and I believe I've been wrong about him every time. His early suggestion of Scotty doing the puzzle as a cred grab is bold and probably a little too Keyser Soze for Day 1 (and believe me, I know Keyser Soze). His opinion that some humans might be on the mafia team also seems far-fetched. Maybe I'm reading the separation between Humans and Toasters too literally but it's a convenient way to read the roles for me for now. To his credit, he's not afraid to throw some crazy ideas out there that might make people look at him like he's got two heads (or maybe just a robotic head). It would be easier to keep those crazy ideas to himself but perhaps Matt is known for that by now and people would be suspicious of him for not doing so.

Polo seemed to be very adept at solving the cipher. He also threw out civ cred a little quickly for those helping on the cipher. There was a brief back-and-forth with ObscureAllure (who I remember from a forum long long ago as a confident and headstrong player with a lot of grit and spit) but I don't know how much to read into that, if at all.

Ricochet is a developing read. I would have thought he'd have noted from hosting E.S.T. that arguing with Ika about Silverwolf is a fools errand. He rejected the notion that humans could be mafia from the start but he thinks it's possible that there could be two BTSC groups amidst Team Toaster. The latter is an interesting theory based off of the name colors in the role list. Has anyone split those names out yet between red and green?

Silverwolf said she was suspicious of S~V~S and I for not helping with the puzzle. That's all I have for her. I just like to keep tabs on who suspects me.

That's all the notes I have for now. Other players have posted but nothing gave me a noteworthy impression just yet. I'll start back a few pages tonight if I can and see if anything else jumps out at me.
Having read G-Man in context and in ISO, he has not named one person he thinks is bad.

Looking this list over, and having caught up,I think I feel pretty good about all of these people EXCEPT for Rico. It looks to me like he made a list of rather wishy washy remarks about people he thought were good rather than anyone he thought was bad. Seeing Rico on this list actually makes me feel better about him, lol.

Linki @ika, I really really liked that one post he made. His overall tone doesn't "feel" bad to me, if that makes sense. I could be wrong, but sofar I don't see anything alarming. Linki @ LC, hrm. OK, thanks. I do gut reads,I get that.

I disagree with this, I think I pay equal attention to my posts (spelling wise) regardless of alignment, in fact I might be less likely to as mafia since I can meta defend myself. For smiles I like to use them and I think it is silly to try and put to much weight in whether it is a baddie tell or not.
Well, perhaps it is not the case in YOUR case, but it was in mine. She was right. So I stopped doing it. I was not saying it did apply to you, I was just saying that it is not unknown, since you said the concept was silly.

Now see,I got the exact opposite from this. G Man wis not a punch puller, and these reads are ALL pulled punches. The more I ISO the pair, the more I put G-Man in front of Rico.

Why do you think this is town?
When G-Man provided his longer array of player notes that have drawn the ire of some (to include yourself, Silverwolf, and I believe Epignosis), I didn't feel it was a bad or good looking post. I actually asked him to share whatever notes he had logged and he complied, so I don't think there was a serious need for those notes to develop into conclusive reads rather than simply being notes. I asked him for something and he gave me that something.

The small piece I pulled from that larger post (the very first quote above) was of separate interest to me because it represented a curious mindset that I don't think I've had as a townie on many occasions if any. I asked him to expand, and he did: he said he was keeping tabs on those who suspected him now as a comparative tool for later interactions in case something changes (meaning his notes function quite like a reads spreadsheet that someone else might keep), and I thought that was a believable answer. Granted, with a second look I'd say it's probably not deserving of quite the frank "town read" I supplied before -- but I'm making a pointed effort to take as many stances as I can because I absolutely hate calling anyone a "neutral read".

To Silverwolf and S~V~S (and anyone else who suspects G-Man for his lengthy notes post):

Given the knowledge that I asked him to supply those notes, is your immediate reception of those notes affected in any way?
Yes, that was part of why I suspect him, he specifically said he was making the post to appease you,then he basically said nothing.
As long as me posting my notes gets me at least a mild town read from the mighty JJJ, I'll gladly share. ;)
And G Man is a fairly analytical guy. Plus in the last remark, where he said Silver suspected he & I, he gave no read on me. At all. That was weird.

I am going to try to catch up in half an hour. For all the talk we had, it's still a typical day 1, votes all over the place.

OMG people stop posting :puppy:

Tell me what I should see, if you think otherwise.

Second would be SVS, also for things I've said, but I'll sum it up. Her reaction to being called out for flubbing Rule 1 seems tense, to the point of not even taking a joke for what it is anymore. But more seriously, my interaction with her, on the subject of suspecting me, ended up giving me the real sense of her possibly finding an opening to dig me up, plus her argumentation being seriously filled with misrepresentation. Out of these two leads, the former is a so-so, I'll admit, because civ SVS can equally twitch at her being referenced in ways she dislikes, but the latter for me gives me the vibe of SVS in games she was bad.

If pushing for a third name, purely based on what I managed to look into toDay, it would be zebra tbqh.
You are consistently mischaracterizing this on my part. Your first post on this topic definitely felt like a set up post to me,it did NOT feel like a joke. Then when I called you on the second, suddenly it was a joke. I was not "tense" but you kept talking about who missed "so say we all" and this felt like a fluff topic, tbh.

I'm not. But this game is crazy.
Indeed. I'm not even sure if we have a mafia team.

SVS, what would make you ask if he was rezzed a baddie?

If by show, several of the humans are the final five in the show and Cylons.

Athena was Cylon but not evil.

That is in respnse to several linkis
Becasue he was revealed to be a cylon, and he was immediately rezzed in the same post. I had no clue that Cylons were evil or not, I thought they all were bad.

Are any of the other ones not bad?

The event was triggered by indiglo, not timed, but given only one mission can be made every 6 hours, being there at the time of the event being triggered is not overly important.
Thanks for explanation.I thought it was an Oz thing :D

Next, I'll be making a schedule list with times. Feel free to sign up if you like. I can keep track of it all in posts here.
I will check it in the AM; you decide the trajectory. I usually am up at 5, but stayed up later than usual, so don;t want to take a chance of sleeping through it. So don;t schedule me for it. If it is an ongoing thing, I can probably take most mornings. But I should have been in bed 2 hours ago.

Linki,no Ika, he isn't.

linki: Could be. What is known so far hints at one side of the coin, not duality.

did you ever answer how Zarek being potential mafia would match with him being third in right to become President of the human race?
I thought that too, tbh. My first reaction was ZOMG rezzed baddie?!?

And maybe we can start over. Your later posts seemed less fluffy, and you really were freaking me out with that whole, "So weird that SVS forgot the salute" thing. Happy Future Punishment :feb: btw.

And I keep saying it since someone had said they were going to say it every post so as not to forget, and I thought that was a good idea since alot of punishments involve formatting and that is a bitch on phone and I don;t want to forget it again.

@Indi~ I can take the 5:47 tomorrow AM if you like, any any day after that.

Please don't spam the same thing over again. I do think we need to kill Epignosis again, I agree with you there. But I am not going into Day 2 with the mindset of lynching him. We may end up with the same result and that would be unproductive.

I'd rather see what these missions can procure for us, and search elsewhere in the process. Focusing on Epignosis won't help if there are seven other Cylons we need to eliminate.
Why do you think this re needing to kill Epi, when all/most of the people familiar with the show seem to think otherwise?

oh gee i dunno maybe because THEY ARE SCUM. or that people who should watch it should know that not everyone likes the damn cylons?

@ Metalmarsh, this question was for you.

And thank you ika, now I need not ask your opinion :)

I dread the thought that we could lynch a Cylon on the bad side and he'll resurrect as well, as long as we don't destory the Resurrection Hub. All cylons share the characteristic of resurrecting back on the hub in a new copy. Speaking of that, Athena's location (teal color) curiously has not changed. :ponder:

I was asking Matt that question, but I can make peace with anyone, sure :grin: Although I still genuinely saw a bit of baddie SVS trait in you trying to make a portrait out of me being "cornered", "civ tryhard" and such. Hrm.
No, that was really my reaction to your first big post. It struck me as busywork :shrug: Every time I go back and read it, I think "busy little toaster" then I read the rest of your posts and think meh, maybe not a toaster.

But I have learned alot about you & your game since that time I tried to baddie steamroll you Day 1 in that JTM game. Hosting you in GOC was priceless experience.

I am hoping to hear from OA about her Polo vote; random or what? With Mothers Day, it was a busy weekend for lots of people, so I am botd re quiet people this weekend past.

OK, Gotcha. I was not trying to accuse with the question, I really wanted to know. Becasue I know nothing about this, and have to rely on others opinions. And a few of those that stated strong opinions on it are people I have civ reads on.

Linki @ Scotty; the host has told us than many roles have secrets. Why are you working on the assumption that someone knowing secrets is automatically bad?

Re: Battlestar Galactica Mafia - Day One

@ Scotty, I corrected it one post later, "suspicious" would be a better word than "automatically bad".

You said that re Indiglo, and tbh she is one of the people I feel pretty good about.

Re: Battlestar Galactica Mafia - Day One

Scotty said: I think indiglo has information that helped us here. It seems she knows more than she's letting on, and while I appreciate the legwork she's been doing on lore, I find the timing of the wiki article and "resurrection ship" article right after the night post...convenient. I'm not saying she's bad, but I am saying I feel that she knows more than she's letting on.
Why do you think this possible info is more likely to be bad than civ?
