I toyed with whether to allow info-dumping and what-have-you in this game. In an effort to allow this, I expanded the possible civilian roles that may exist in this game.

I didn't imply anything about you, I am warning against further claims or fake claims. Not everything is about you, Mac.

I also want to add that if anyone ever sees another player claiming their role, it's probably best to not say anything since the only players who can't safely claim their own roles are probably Gandalf and Frodo.
What? If I see someone claim my role, I should keep quiet?

(This is a thing that I'm doing.)

We've played one or two games together where one or both of us got out early. I wanna say Elements and/or Red vs Blue (whichever order where Republicans were mafia).

Shit. I mean.

No. I'm not bad. You're either making shit up (about a role that doesn't even have a power) or you for some reason mysteriously got false info on day 0. I'm gonna go with making shit up. Whether that's for a discussion-stimulating pro-civ motive or a scum anti-civ motive is yet to be seen... but if you want to lynch me it will only hurt the civs.
Nah my red peek says that it is definitely not false info in the PM.

Your question of nutella was a bad look. Her feelings were justified and needn't elaboration. You were faking confusion to make someone who is attracting heat justify something that was obvious. I believe it is because of a mixture of a) you aren't genuinely trying to find the bad guys b) you are hoping to build a mislynch or c) you are both bad and you are establishing distance.

If no one could’ve guessed, THIS game means a great deal to me (perhaps more than any other that I’ve played here at the Syndicate) and I am not going to let those disingenuous amongst you use my reputation and meta against me here. Yes, I AM TOWN! You can take that to the bank or wherever else you damn well want to - I’m not going to blissfully be mislynched by the forces of #*^%ing Mordor! I’d said it before, and this game has proven it to me now - my continued presence in these games has become truly untenable. Accordingly, please don’t expect that I’ll be returning for The Two Towers (as much as that pains me). I’ll have more to say on this matter once this game is ended.

In the meantime, I’m not buying Nutella’s twisted logic for voting me so here... have one of your own!

Everyone say it with me.

"SELF-IMPOSED POSTING RESTRICTIONS ARE NOT INDICATIVE OF ALIGNMENT."

Been down this road too many damn times.
what do you think of the content he's provided through that self-imposed restriction?
about as much content as anyone else in this game

I went through this exact song and dance in WTNV Mafia with Ricochet, where we were both potential civilian BTSC buddies who were at each others throats the entire game because of his emoji gimmick.

And saw this exact song and dance happen in Blue Velvet Mafia when Ricochet found out the entire mafia team on like Day 2, and no one paid attention because of his gimmick.

I have reached a point where I don't give a shit about gimmicks. Frankly, people who harp on about them draw both my attention and my suspicion.

If I have to go through another game where people make it a major issue, I'm gonna be quite cross.

Spent line twenty minutes trying to make a rainbow list on mobile with quotes and smilies and my daughter closed the damn tab.

Fuck it.

Kyle and Mac are bad.

INH, Sloonei, Epi are good.

[img]Mac's responses to your questions feel inauthentic. I don't believe Kyle didn't know about Glor saying he wouldn't claim town. His push felt fake and the backpedal is crap. He absolutely was pushing Glor because he wouldn't say he was town so being like "Oh you didn't need to claim" is yuck.[/inh]

hey jack, most of what you're saying here is wrong.

i didn't remember glorfindel saying he wouldn't claim before until sloonei brought it up, i don't remember every single thing that everyone says. my initial push on glorf was for the reason of testing to see if he would do the thing he always does, which he hadn't done yet. But after Sloonei brought up his post from the previous game, and started defending glorfindel, (while glorfindel wasn't defending himself) my reason for questioning changed.

I wanted to know why Sloonei was explaining glorfindel but glorfindel wasn't explaining glorfindel.

So for you it's just totally normal and expected for Sloonei to quash lines of questioning on day one? To create an environment where a questioned player doesn't need to explain themselves because it's already being done for them?

are you using words now, or is this a one time thing? are you capable of articulating reasons why we should all vote for macdougall? why do you think you've received relatively little attention this game?

I do what I want and I don't know what I'll want tomorrow.

Mac is bad because he doesn't feel like good Mac. He's bad because his accusation at Nutella and Sloonei of not hunting is bullshit. He's bad because when I called him bad for this, he said I was wrong, then said I was trying to mislynch him, then tried to say he hadn't said the later, then said my gimmick was stupid and tried to handwave my read. Mac's additionally bad for admitting his case on Nutella was always bullshit and then continuing with it anyway. I'm not messing around. I'm not unhappy with my vote. I think Mac is bad.

Cause my normal playstyle attracts attention. I could go back to all my games on this site (regardless of alignment) and find people saying they suspect me for vague reasons that actually boil down to "tone." Tone is different with smilies.
