What if a player is suspicious but has a role type that is stronger in duels and keeps winning them? What do you all think?

Ah, MP, always wanting to talk mechanics :P I can see where you're coming from; if we were able to identify a strong dueling civ, we could put him or her up against the suspect for a better chance at a death. However, and this is important, the rules for warriors say "most likely to win in a duel." It's not a guarantee, it would seem. On the negative side, that strategy would identify good NK targets for the baddies. And if we try to get two baddies in a duel and succeed, one of them is destined for death

However, the civs have many more warriors than the baddies. So picking one from each list (suspected civs and suspected baddies) for each night might actually be a good call.

I'd be wary of people volunteering to duel tbh, they could be particularly tough/confident baddies looking for an easy ride and hoping for a nice reward.

Otherwise though, I don't think any opinion on whether to pit civ v baddie or baddie v baddie makes someone more likely to be good or bad. I think people who are naturally more careful will want to have a guarantee of a baddie dying and feel more comfortable putting two people they suspect up for a duel. People who are happier taking risks will want to do riskier things.

He's saying that if you're inactive after having made the pledge to try to be more active, you're bad. I think that's bunk though. Russ is a suspect.

Oh, Dom said that not Russ.

Weak, Dom.

Weak? I'm so strong, when I win-- and believe me, I'll win-- you'll all be in awe of my strength. All of you. The only way that I don't win-- and I don't see this happening-- The only way I don't win is there's cheating going on.

Wait, that's funny. It looks like he meant to vote DF and Bass, but accidentally voted for me and JJJ. Whoops, must be some mistake. Because I just reread all his posts multiple times, and the only time he expressed any sort of sentiment toward me is when I criticized his posting gimmick and he called me "sad". He doesn't really mention JJJ as far as I can tell.

Dom and Bubbles are my top priorities today. I will most likely be voting there.

Lyin' Scotty is teaming up with Tricky Jay in an alliance to take me down!

Why would I vote bass? Right now-- I think Bass is a good guy. That could change. I have explained why in the past. You can look it up-- plenty have written about it.

Folks, don't trust Lyin' Scotty and Tricky Jay. Lyin' Scotty looked for an opportunity to seize power without any sort of content. Tricky Jay has used bad thinking all game. Not good, folks, not good.

I'm rather intrigued by the connections JJJ has observed between Wilgy and MM. I also agree with Scotty that Bubbles' and Dom's votes were suspicious.

It's real easy to paint votes as suspicious when there's 2 forces of evil out there against me. We make two votes. Scotty is far from confirmed civ. Why would Wilgy's team even think he would die?

Who's to say I'm not on Wilgy's team? I mean, I'm not, but why exclude that as a possibility?

I appreciate the civ label because I am, but your defense of me is slightly hollow.

I could also be anything, and just rolled better than Wilgy, so this argument is not the best way to guard my alignment.

Earlier I said I didn't like either Dom's or Bubbles' votes; I'm pretty convinced that Bubbles is being her usual self but that doesn't preclude her being bad. Dom is just being incredibly annoying and not really providing sufficient content imo due to his obnoxious posting gimmick, and I am still perplexed by his voting behavior. And I'm keeping Russ on my list as well, since he hasn't given me a great impression overall, and I look forward to seeing what he has to contribute today.

I find JJJ a little pingy, due to his logic on the day 0 votes, but he is being active and seems civvie. I think we should keep an eye on him and maybe have him duel soon.
Dom as well my gut is reading scum, I think he is being scummy with his posting style, and I think he is getting a free pass by some players for the way he is posting. It is in little clips so he appears active, but content wise he isn't giving us much at all. I feel like he is attempting to fly under the radar, yet not be accused of being inactive.
MM for the reasons laid out by JJJ, I'd rather not lynch MM today though.
Jan slightly for his most recent post wondering why I wasn't active. This is also a minor ping though.
TH for his thoughts on Scotty.

Matty seems civvie so far.
Mac and DF both look good imo also, this is mainly a gut feel.

Bubbles' votes seemed random, but not unusual for Bubbles.

DF, a few questions:

1) In what way would you assert that Dom is hiding behind a posting gimmick?
I think gimmick posters offer themselves a built in defense when it comes to inconsistent behavior or doing things not easily explained. If they frequently do gimmicks, people will come to their defense and say it's just how they always are. If it's unusual for them, as with Dom, I think they hope they can skate by for longer with people remembering the gimmick more than their content. In this case the gimmick seems to be drawing suspicion though.
2) Do you agree or disagree that Dom's posting gimmick is attracting potentially negative attention that he would not have had to deal with otherwise?
I think to a degree it is attracting attention, because his gimmick seems to be causing him to strongly assert his opinions.
3) What points made against him has Dom not addressed, specifically?
He hadn't really established why a less vocal Bass would be bad, nor why he now thinks Bass is good, and didn't address the notion that he could be setting up an excuse to vote Bass later on. He also didn't explain his votes for JJJ and Scotty, beyond saying they're bad.

Here he is, folks. Lying about my record once more. Not only that, but he's using the "gimmick against me and for me. HE is saying that I am, folks, hiding behind a gimmick-- but also suspects me for "using it". Can't have it both ways ! Also-- to the haters, This is real, this is me.

Also Sorsha wanting to vote prefects sounds like a bad idea to me. I get the impression that prefects have important abilities or something, so why would we want to put them up to lynch right away?

And there's this DFaraday guy. This DFaraday guy-- he's just... well.. do I have to say it? He's not good. No good at all. Lies and twisting the fact like the crooked media. Rooting against me.

Listen folks, Bass better stay active. Otherwise he's saying empty promises and looking to be ignored. That's just despicable. We, as a game, cannot let him get away with this, folks.

Wait, that's funny. It looks like he meant to vote DF and Bass, but accidentally voted for me and JJJ. Whoops, must be some mistake. Because I just reread all his posts multiple times, and the only time he expressed any sort of sentiment toward me is when I criticized his posting gimmick and he called me "sad". He doesn't really mention JJJ as far as I can tell.

Dom and Bubbles are my top priorities today. I will most likely be voting there.

Lyin' Scotty is teaming up with Tricky Jay in an alliance to take me down!

Why would I vote bass? Right now-- I think Bass is a good guy. That could change. I have explained why in the past. You can look it up-- plenty have written about it.

Folks, don't trust Lyin' Scotty and Tricky Jay. Lyin' Scotty looked for an opportunity to seize power without any sort of content. Tricky Jay has used bad thinking all game. Not good, folks, not good.

That's not really answering the question of why you voted Scotty and JJJ. And you think Bass is a good guy?

Also, you say that you think Bass is a good guy, a claim which is not supported by your previous interactions with Bass:

I'm confused by this ? Are you saying g if I'm active I'm bad?

What the truth of the matter is that you have to realize that after-- hey, believe me...
If you aren't active, let's just say something else might be going on. I don't know what, but something else! Believe me. For sure !

So first you establish a potential suspicion of Bass to come back to later, but don't actually vote him, instead going with guys you haven't provided reasoning for. Then when questioned, you've thought Bass was good all along? Dom is flip-flopping more than...some sort of public official.

Crooked DFaraday is absolutley misunconstruing my point on bass !
Look, people, if bass is good, he'll keep his word to be more active. If he's a no-good guy, then he's gonna slip in the shadows until he attacks one of us. Could be anywhere .

That's my point. Not that bass is necessarily good or bad righ tnow. The lying summarizers have spewed false statements about me. I'm going to sue them all.

Who's here? Someone get a CFD going with me. I haven't finished catching up yet, but at this point I'm thinking DFaraday and timmer, the latter due to what I posted above and DF because I think he looks the most potentially opportunistic of the people who have already voted Dom, MM, and Russ to me. That said, I'd be cool with anyone who's absent or mostly absent since it seems this will be a continuing problem. Almost anyone but the three people with the most votes, frankly.

CFD onto Crooked DFaraday or Lyin' Sig, folks.

Scotty wrote:Yeah, you're right MP, I totally forgot Dom was bad in Arkham.
And I'll take your word for it.

I'd support a timmer CFD.

However, good luck getting even 5 people in here in that time. Half the population is a no-show.

While JJJ has talks about this, and I tend to not want to go there, I think there may be validity to the no-shows being a reason at least one of the teams didn't kill last night

If that's the case, I never want to hear about my Day 1 brigade against non-participants.

Why do you support Timmer and not DFaraday?
How could you forget Dom's amazing performance in ARkham mafia. Best of all time, maybe. The game was rigged against him, after all.

Why not DFaraday though.

Finnicky Rico-- now that you've started playing, why don't you make a real opinion and not just jump on the hater wagon ?? Sad !

I don't deserve the benefit of teh doubt. I deserve a real argument to be made against me, and none has been made. I am the best there ever was and Dfaraday is the worst . okay, folks? The way he jumped on me here-- hey, maybe I was looking for it, I don't know??

I concur. SVS was one of the good ones.

nutella wrote:She for me, Q.

Dom, do you suspect anyone besides DF at the moment?
Also, anything specifically lead you to trust SVS? She never participated at all.

SVS is tired and not that in the mood for PLAYING mafia, I think. She would have been more energized if she had a team with her !

I gave a list just the other day of who I suspect. Dfaraday topped the list. You were a distant second, with scotty and 3j rounding up the bottom. Sig is somewhere in there.

I wasn't on that list. Why? I thought I'd have been on there considering I was supposedly pushing 'nothing' against you.

You didn't jump on the bandwagon in the same way the other haters did.

Ricochet wrote: 1. It murks the lines between being confrontational with your sussers simply because it's in your persona's bloodstream and actually disapproving or deflecting suspicions in a valid way. This is a entirely hollow banter reaction to JJJ finding your suss on Bass to be weak. This is just one example of how blurry the line between 'spittin' Domald' and NO U'ing can get - and frankly, I tend to label NO U'ing Dom as bad Dom. I basically don't spot any player to have suspected you that didn't get this treatment: JJJ and DFaraday most of all, to a lesser extent nutella, Quin, Scotty.

Quantify your assertion that No-U Dom is bad Dom, please.

Look folks, I'm a busy, busy man. I set a trap for players to fall in wtih my very very good brain. I've got the best words and now I know what they're up to. I know more about the baddies than the HOST does! Okay, folks? Believe me, we're going to make teh syndicate safe again.

Ricochet wrote: 2. Your ratio between full banter posts and meaningful ideas/messages behind the façade has improved over the course of the game, quite in sync with the wave of mixed or negative reactions you received. I'm inclined to read this as trying to patch things up. "Fine tuning! Bad!" I mean, your very last post is completely devoid of gimmicks. Look how serious you've gotten all of a sudden, when having to vouch for civreading a fallen player (SVS) or being asked repeatedly to state your suspicions.

This is some tired, lazy crap. Someone oughta show this guy what a real point looks like.

Ricochet wrote: 3. It's not about deserving BTOD or not, it's about getting it. I think it's safe to say you survived having to duel on Day 2 because of a new wave of players reading kindly into your performance, particularly your antics: "he wouldn't do that if he'd have a team agenda", with opinions as strong as the hunt on you being called BS. On my side, I believe you could very well be experimenting with a new playing angle, after a series of games in which you were either bad all the time or in which you weren't, but wasn't exactly trusted given your baddie legacy and usual style (*raises hand*). This "experimentation" could be happening to simply refresh your style a bit, regardless of alignment, but points 1) and 2) still make me lean on spotting baddie traits from you. Plus, if you're bad, you've obviously done a good enough job to create some "oh, he wouldn't do this if bad" impressions.

Okay folks, let's break this down.
Let's present two options either I'm bad (ha!) or I'm civ. (waits for applause)


I don't think in a single game I played this year, I was civvie other than this one. I can't remember one. I mgiht have, but the vast, vast majority of games, I was bad. In fact, I faced some joke supsicion over this in my last few games, especially given my inspiring performance in each of those games-- either winning or coming close to winning each time. Now, it is true, I am the greatest mafia player of all time. Yes. Yes, folks, it's true. BUT in this game, I am a civilian. No matter what I did this game, this criticism would be here unless I played no differently than usual-- in which case, I'd get the "Dom is always bad" rap.

So, this is a lazy, low energy argument and I expect better out of you, Rico.

Ricochet wrote: I have no way to explain this properly in English, but there's a wretched garbage musical genre in our country called "manele / mynele" in which 70% of the lyrics are "death to my haters and enemies", and, to simply paraphrase, I think a lot of your posts are just that, either in a total bantz way, either with rebuttal intent that comes off, however, as NO U'y or evasive.

My brand is synonymous with success, okay? Ask anyone-- anyone will tell you. There's no manele needed here. I, simply put, am the best.

I have launched an attack on DFaraday and Nutella. I have defended others, or expressed disinterest in their votes. I don't know what you want from me. You seem (like nutella) more annoyed with how I am playing than having any actual points that make me bad because of how I am playing. This makes me think nutella is bad for a multitude of reasons-- one of which is that, she, ya know, tends to be bad, in my experience, when she calls me annoying. Rather than quantify her suspicion against me, she labels it as "annoying" and looks to get me out. It's rather easy and no one really pays attention to it ! Surprises me, folks.

DFaraday has repeatedly lied about what I have said. He has totally changed the narrative about my words on Bass. Civ DFaraday wouldn't do that. Bad DFaraday looking to place a vote on an easy target absolutely would.

I have explained these suspicions ad naseaum. For any of you to try and imply that my personality is keeping me from expressing valid suspicions is just... it's not just not right. Believe me, civvies love me more than anyone else, and if you're trying to just undermine that because you are jealous or maybe-- i don't know-- maybe you have got something else going on-- i don't know-- plenty of people have written that, maybe. I don't know.

I am civillian and the lazy, tired, low energy, and bad bad arguments have got to stop against me. This is sad.

We have SO many no-shows this game. I could also vote for INH for disappearing into the darkness.

Or Mac. He wasn't really on my radar until Mm flipped (and actually I think he looked rather civ) and now his soft defending looks bad to me.

Linki @Caps: O rly? Where for art thou getting comfortable?

WEren't you pretty dead set against lynch INH or discussing lynchign INH because he's a prefect or am I remembering that incorrectly?

Is that all you have to say?


Dom, I pick on you for being annoying anytime I find you annoying, regardless of my alignment. Also, I said that once this game and I have otherwise given actual reasons for suspecting you/your behavior in this game. I have specifically mentioned your voting behavior, the confusing exchange about Bass, and most of all your houndish no-u-ing of DF.

Is the exchange about Bass still confusing? It shouldn't be. Why is that suspicious?

No-U's are when you suspect someone purely for suspecting you. I suspect DFaraday because he clearly didn't read the thread very closely, saw an easy vote, and made it. That's just as strong of an argument as that is being made against me, if not better. Especially since the bst mafia player in the world is making it.

Rico, I can see your point of view, marginally. It's just wrong.

nutella wrote:Dom, ok well it's not only that but also, and I mentioned this a little in my response to MP, the way you've been focusing on DF/pushing against anyone who suspects you and meanwhile staying out of a lot of the main discussions. Since the beginning of the game you've been sort of saying your own thing on the sidelines, prioritizing your persona over getting involved in the thread and as I said earlier your posts thus had less content than I would have liked. Less so today, but for the first couple days it felt like you were playing from inside your own bubble, and I prefer to see more interaction with major topics of conversation.

So... how does that make me bad? Is that not what you kind of expect from me? I don't take it personally, but on many occasions you have COMPLAINED about how *nitpicky* I am, how much I focus on topics that aren't the main topic, how much I can laser focus on something in particular and ignore all else.....

Explain how this isn't true to my winning brand.

I think this read on SVS is both accurate and genuine.

I'm really feeling good about Dom this game.

As Ricochet has already pointed out, S-V-S herself stated in the first of her only two posts this game:

S~V~S wrote:Hi all, I just found out this started. I will do my best to get caught up on phone (no wofi for another week or so, and post as much as is feasible on phone.

Given that, your comment Dom, seems to lack logic. If she doesn't have access, whether she was a part of a Mafia team or not would have been irrelevant to the degree of energy that she had exhibited in this game.

I think SVS would have found more ways to post. She's a smart lady--okay, and beleive me, very inventive.
