the fiddler is a metaphor for survival in uncertain times times

the play is not even about violinists, or roof construction. that was a disappointment for me in highschool since those were two major interests for me

Re: Fiddler on the Roof Mafia

Typically the Devil is depicted as playing a fiddle, and "the roof" in the cosmic sense is Heaven, so "Fiddler on the Roof" clearly is about living in cruel and unjust world.

Tevye can get BTSC with his daughters. In doing so, he can confirm them town to himself. So that's neat.

However, if he doesn't search for them, the town gains a cop in the match-maker. Match-maker can search for BTSC, which would (if Tevye doesn't submit actions) only be held by the mafia.

We trade off a BTSC-finder and a town searcher/btsc/lover thing for a cop. Does anyone think this is a good idea?
:ponder:

Game with infodumping and role-claiming: cop > probabilistic/interval civilian BTSC inclusive of four

Game without infordumping and role-claiming (like this one): :ponder:

I'm going to say the cop is slightly weaker in this case. Without reveals, civilian BTSC becomes one of the strongest available roles, because it is easier to read -- it involves two people simultaneously vouching for each other. A cop can only promote reads him or herself, and it might not be as easy for others to figure out that there is an information basis behind those reads.

It's debatable though. speedchuck is a civilian for discovering that this question is worth asking.
He could have conceived of the question pre-game. Null read for me.

I'd probably prefer civ BTSC to an unclaimable cop thing.

boom rekt
I really don't recognise the parallel. I don't even know for sure if there is one without looking. In this game I've comfortably talked about musicals with people I already know, and in that game (I think?) I spent the first several of my posts trying to get to know the players on that site. I'm like 60% sure Jay is just making things up to prod for reactions but if not then he's wrong and his basis is flawed. If there really is a parallel Jay sees then it's 100% just a coincidence and not caused by alignment-bias.

the option where I survive has no bearing on my request. What I'm saying that if I do end up getting lynched for Jay's 'tell' then Jay has to be held accountable. He can't just say something like "oh well it didn't work this time but I'm going to keep what it was a secret in case it's a tell in the future. :shrug:" and shrug it off.

If his tactic here causes me to die then I want his reasoning to be thoroughly checked into.

I don't think so. I read it in the same tone as the previous posts. Jay's posts were standard issue Day 0 flings. Nothing shady or underhanded about them. That the conversation has focused on Kyle since then is circumstantial. To blame it on the initiator of said conversation is misdirected, and to act as if this trend is alarming or restrictive before Day 1 has begun is nervous.

Kyle, have we ever played together?
I have to say, I read most posts up until the following one. Unlike JJJ, I found nothing wrong with Kyle, but then I read this post, and it felt like a frustrated baddie annoyed by what he perceives as too much civvie power, though he can't really say it, so it comes out in a different way, because, well, he can't help himself.

FZ takes an oddly middle ground point of view before it's strictly necessary or even really sensible, then provides an additional somewhat stretchy reason to suspect me, it seems awkward and almost tacked on, like jumping on a bandwagon earlier while ensuring that there's viable reason to believe that it's FZ's idea.
I don't follow. Could you elaborate? what do you mean FZ's view came "before it's stricrlt necessary"? what exactly is the accusation you are making here?

Jay's usual civvie MO is to scatter bricks around on day 0 and 1 in order to start building discussion and put out reads. What Jay's done here is try to throw a single large brick at me, which causes no variation in discussion at all. The only discussion happening right now is surrounding me.

This post came in after my adjective compilation, but it carries on what is my least favorite point for Kyle from his previous post, which I labeled "obtuse":
Kylemii wrote: Wed Jan 17, 2018 7:09 pm What I'm saying that if I do end up getting lynched for Jay's 'tell'...
Kyle is reducing the potential suspicion and subsequent lynch against him entirely to Jay pretending to have a Day 0 scumtell on him. That claim was bogus from the beginning, and not a single person here is suspicious of Kyle on the basis of a make-believe tell. As far as I can tell, the suspicion is derived from Kyle's reaction to having a make-believe tell pushed onto him. That's where mine comes from, anyway, and that's where the lynch heat would hypothetically come from. The way he has turned this around on Jay has looked like a shortsighted approach to the game, not one that I'd expect town Kyle to take.

no that's wrong.

he doesn't usually use specific lies "Kyle has an obvious tell that I learned from sc2 mafia" is a specific lie that could have gotten me lynched if he didn't come back and tell the truth.

"I think tink is civ can anyone tell me why?" vague and harmless, "I think Epignosis is bad can anyone tell me why? also vague and harmless.

"I was going on about it being a bad look" is also not very accurate.

It was an emotionally charged conditional statement. If Jay continued the way he was going and let me get lynched without admitting to the lie then that would have been a strong indicator of a non-townie minded Jay. But he didn't, so it isn't.

It's logically consistent so it literally computes. :p
I disagree that his tactic in this game is in any way unusual and I never saw any reason to think he was gonna skate by without further comment on your "tell".

because it was unhelpful

all you did was sharpen the focus on something that was already being focused on

is that value added?
I think so. I'd not yet commented on it and had something to say, so I said it. why should we have moved away from the conversation about you so quickly?

The nip the Sloonei/Jay teamwork in the bud as quickly as possible, if not merely for you and I then for other observers of you and I, because if left unchecked it usually ends in civilian victories.
Does it make sense for scum Epi to make this move so boldly?

Who are we talking about here? You might as well ask me if it makes sense for grass to grow in the sunshine or water to be wet. He's too proud to kill me, and by extension probably you too. The man welcomes a challenge.
I just think he'd be a little more subtle about seeding concerns about us. Doing it this way makes it seem like an earnest tinfoil to me, as I circle the drain of wifom. I don't mind a little bit of vigilance.

hmm no that's not the issue here.

The Sloonei-meta and Jay-meta that I'm used to is that you both tend to open up discussion early on with pokes and prods at players who haven't been involved. To get things moving forward and outward..

Do you feel like you've personally accomplished that in this game or do I have a wrong impression of your meta?
I don't care where the attention was or what my meta is. I saw something which I thought was suspicious by Day 0 standards, so I pointed it out. If possible, I want the focus to be on things that I find suspicious. If not possible, I'll try to generate something that I can find suspicious.

Do you scum read me?

I'm withholding judgement cus like you said, if something that's already being discussed pings you, why not comment on it? so doubling down on Jay's thing instead of starting your own isn't that unusual. In general you're not a player who I would consider to be a follower.
I don't think it's accurate to say I was following Jay. I generated my own read based on your reactions to things. I also don't mind following a lead if I think it's a good one.
Is your "withholding judgment" comment about Epi?

stirring things up and making discussions happen. you're not the type of player to sit back and comment on other people's thoughts.

Epi.... neutral. I see where he's coming from, I make reading you and Jay early a priority in most games we're in. Finding out whether the thread is based on a good foundation is an important first step. I think "hang them" is a bit of an extreme though.
I wanted to hang back on Day 0 after the explosion I helped create in Mortal Kombat. I'm currently failing at that task.

If you see where he's coming from, why is he a null read?

that's definitely false... the posts you commented on wouldn't have even existed if it weren't for jay. it's no different from speedchuck, Nutella, LC, or FZ commenting on the same things you did. It wasn't new content nor was it a unique way to look at old content.
Anyone responding to anything is new content. Yeah I was responding to content that was generated by somebody else, but the single-word thoughts I was putting into the thread were a new way of looking at things because, as far as I can tell, no one else had brought up any of the angles I was looking at previously. This is a bogus semantic argument and I'm not sure why you're pursuing it.

understandable

a player relaying a relatable thought process doesn't make them civ.
No, but I asked you about him and you gave a favorable description but a null read. I wanted to note it and see if there was more to be mined there.

I don't think Epignosis is the sort to waste time on tinfoil on Day 0, and I don't think there's anything in this thread which should alert him to the specific scenario that we're teamed and bad. This has been ordinary shit.

saying the same things that everyone else is already saying but with fewer words isn't creating new content nor is it really even a new angle. The only new content is "hey you know that thing that a lot of other people think? well Sloonei thinks it too" this is getting away from the original point.
I continue to not like the way you are sweeping all of the suspicion against you under the same rug as if none of it is worth addressing. Could you point to where the points I made had been brought up prior to my post?

My scum read on Kyle is contingent on him being made genuinely uncomfortable bu Jay's fake scumtell on him. I can only see them as compatible partners if that was an elaborate distancing measure to kick off the game.

I'm only asking about the part you said in the quote there, please forget about Jay for a minute. what do you think my reaction to Jay's gambit thing would be as a mafia? as a civ? why would they be different reactions?
All I meant was that your reaction is not indicative of a partnership with Jay because you appeared genuinely unnerved by it. But, since you asked, I think a town kyle would have reacted more calmly and understood Jay's tactic to just be a conversation starter and not a bogus smear campaign directed at kyle to get kyle lynched on Day 1.

So you're saying there's practically ~0% chance you are both town? :shifty: Cause if not, you've consigned us to two mislynches there. Which is more of a frustrated action than one that is seeking the best for town.

NAI, necessarily.
He's as strong a mafia read as I can reasonably have on Day 1. If anyone can give me a good reason Epignosis would really believe that Sloonei and I are teammates and that stopping us should be his priority, with the content in this very same Day 1 game thread, I'm open to listening. That bullshit has my vote planted.
I can't give you a reason why he'd think and I don't think he could either. What I don't see is why a Day 0/1 lie makes Epignosis scum. This is almost a mirror image of your earlier turd.

I do think it's a turd, but not the sort being dropped for the sake of moving a thread. He has morphed that turd into a very real "lynch 3J" agenda, and it's all bogus.
As with kyle before, I think this agenda stems more from your reaction than Epi's initial premise. Note that there is no Lynch Sloonei agenda outside of a single limp jab from Mac earlier.

Talk about other people. Spacdaisy and LoRab and Dyslexicon have all said things without receiving much attention.

What is your read on MacDougall?
I don't disbelieve that he would act the way that he's acting as town, but there's not enough there to have a solid read.
