*Shows n00b card*

I have one of these and I think lynching Kyle is always a good idea.

Ah, so you've identified his tell too?

Not I'm not new. I started playing 10years ago on LP and have played on various sites since with several people here. But it has been a long time since I last played, excluding the speed game or whatever you called it I played on here the other night.

And if Kyle talks about SoFi, he's talking about me - that used to be my name....

I also like to lynch him a lot. For giggles.

What do you think of nutella's reaction to your counterfeit n00b card?

I said it purposefully as a nod to saying the same thing in the burglary game and her reacting the same way.

you're asking all these questions to the point of sounding fake

idk the chance that you're actually teammates is probably pretty low, especially with all this interaction right after the game thread opens on day 0, but still I could see it as a possibility based on this behavior. and making a bold assertion like this should stimulate the discussion. hence the hot take

I like to ask questions. They also stimulate the conversation.

U been tryin too hard man

So really its a pressure relief vote

I believe Glorfindel has stated that he won't be answering questions about his alignment because that takes the fun out of the game. I get nothing out of his non-answer. But I would like to know what he thinks of kyle and mac for their treatment of him. [mention]Glorfindel[/mention]

You are my oldest Mafia friend and I love you, but I'm voting for you as well.

I could see nutella being bad, but so far I am inclined to believe she's being a proactive content-generating townie. She's throwing mud around. What do you see that's suspicious about her?

[mention]novaselinenever[/mention] talk to me about nutella and other things.

Again, there is no need to apologise, Jay. Of all the people I’ve met playing these games, there is no one whom I hold in higher regard than you for your intellect, reason, passion for the game and your integrity. You did what you felt you needed to do and it worked out for you - and I respect that. I do think however that it was a potentially a risky strategy (had I actually been Town). I will likely return to my policy of permanent non-declaration of my alignment after this game so whilst it worked out for you in Mad Max, I’d counsel you to think twice in future.

And just like Chuckles, I’m thrilled to be back here, in a game with you, my friend

Kyle, talk to me about Macdougall.

I suppose I just overlooked nutella's involvement in that.

[mention]nutella[/mention] I'm not sure I follow your thought process RE: Glorfindel. On the one hand you say his behavior is NAI, but in the same sentence you add that it gives you a bad feeling. What's the bad feeling is his behavior doesn't indicate anything about his alignment?

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.

No. I asked for clarification because I wanted nutella to be more clear. It's what I do. I liked the answer she gave. What is your read on her?

Moved my vote to Long Con. He put a vote on nutella with only a vague reference to something suspicious. I don't like it.

In all the games I ever played of mafia I only played 1 that allowed role claiming and I still find it hard to wrap my head around it being an ok thing to do nowadays and I really can't say that I like it as a an allowance, but thems the kicks.

I remember yesterday being pinged by somebody, but I honestly do not have the energy in me right now to go back and reread, even just 2 pages worth. xD

I am getting civvie vibes from Kyle so far and I agree with his assessment of the role claiming situation - I am surprised at the amount of people disagreeing with him and calling him mafia for it...
I'm going to follow his lead and vote glorfindel, just cause.

Sorry to be so useless so early in the game.

Why are you voting for Glorfindel?

I'm not all that interested in probing into Glorfindel's honesty policy. He's said he wants to get away from it and I think it's a cheap ploy to go after him with that anyway. I'm much more interested in hearing his reads on people in this thread right now.

There's also Jackofhearts. What do we make of him restricting himself to emojis only?

Glorfindel wrote: ↑Wed Jan 31, 2018 7:02 pm Very well. I’m putting an end to this nonsense once and for all. 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!

I don't think I'm alone in saying that it's a treat to get to play with you, so I hope this sentiment is not permanent. I think we can all find a place where your personal convictions do not interfere with gameplay with more experience.

That said, tell me more about nutella. What parts of her logic seem twisted to you?

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.

I agree that it's unproductive to ignore or suspect a player purely for doing a thing like this. As a host, I watched wilgy get lynched for exactly this on Day 1 despite having the best reads in the game. But the gimmick is still a topic in the thread. It's something that can be talked about. If anything I am inclined to town read Jack off the bat because this sort of thing paints a huge target on any player who chooses to operate like this.

That said, I was explicitly not asking you about this here. Can you give a GTH read on Jack?

I've found myself suspecting nutella early on in every game recently for behavior similar to what she's shown so far here. I've been somewhat consciously checking myself on that this game. That said, I'm interested in seeing how she responds to Glorf.
