Wilgy, you seem supremely disinterested this game. Why?

-I'm tone reading you as scum Sig.
-Roxy I read as scum, but I have noticed that I accidentally and incorrectly read her a scummy quite often.
-I'm intrigued by DFaraday.
-Mac I'm reading as civ. He is completely different than what he was in Talking Heads.

Funnily enough I'm reading you as scum also, which is why I'm trying to get more posts out of you so you just don't glide to end game. I wonder are you just reading me as scum since I voiced suspicion of you?

I've only played a few games with Glor, but a few of his posts have just been weird. Not something I would pursue right know but something that I think is worth pointing out.
@Glorfindel my question was about a specific post of yours were you mentioned mafia guilt here is the quote it isn't much of a question but seeing how you didn't answer it I was pinged and I really do want an answer.

From my limited experience, what passes for evidence this early on in Mafia games is often little more than a combination of bravado and overactive imagination. All I can see is some particularly harsh accusations being thrown around by some VERY enthusiastic players. I have been around long enough not to mistake aggressiveness in these games with Mafia guilt so a couple of feuding prominent players (at this stage of the game) doesn't convince me that one is necessarily Mafia. From what I've read, Golden seems to make a lot of sense to me

Don't be so humble Glorfindel you've played a good amount of mafia games I doubt you only have limited experience. Also what do you mean by Mafia guilt?

DrWilgy wrote:Somewhat but it has mostly been skimming. What is up?

Just trying to engage you to see where your head is at! You're one of the players I'm having trouble reading at the moment, and I (as well as others, I'm sure) are wondering what you're thinking.

You got some leads? Where are those pesky mafia?

sig wrote:I like Duran Duran almost as good as Kansas and much better then Rush.

So the Empire didn't kill night 1, either they used another power or were inactive. Does anyone else find it interesting that when two active players replaces two inactive players the Empire kills?

This isn't vote worthy of course today I'll be most likely voting for either Enrique or Simon, even so I think it is worth discussing.

Could you please explain why I am on that beautiful list?

Much love,

Sure since you asked ever so sweetly.

Its the vibe I get from your posts. You keep saying you will catch up and post but you bring no original thoughts nor are you joking in the way I associate with a civvie Wiggly.

With much admiration,
Roxy

But tbh idc what you think of my list - I did provide reasoning when asked - I like to play my own way and really detest being told how to play. Tough shit if you do not like how I listed my suspicions. Everyone is entitled to their opinions.

Cfd to DFaraday

Why Dfaraday? I see he is on your list but not why that is?

I do agree something seems slightly off with Wilgy this phase.

I haven't been here lol, shoot me if you wanna. I got caught up right as turkey day festivities began... Plus I'm still at work. Grumbe grumble 14 hour shifts grumble.

I would actually be ok with Dfaraday lynch, those curiosities towards him have shifted into pings and suspicions in my head. Maybe I should reread him... I'm kinda teetering on the Enrique lynch. I would like to know what Enrique thinks poison rulings are, if there are any, before I place a vote on him.

Sorry, you would be fine with lynching me just because of some vague pings you have? I'd at least like to know what it is that's pinging you.

Gun to head, this post is a cop out. Not very town-like.

Sorry BR! I just needed to vote somewhere, and I know self-voting is looked down on a lot more than it used to be.

I've pretty much caught up (but with a ton of skimming because y'all are insanely verbose), and Bcornett caught my eye for his suspicion of Golden, which didn't make sense to me. He did come around, but it still felt a bit weird to me to single out Golden that way. Golden, Zebra, and MP are reading as town to me, but I ten to see high posters as civvie in general.

Enrique could be indy, given his early comments, but his defense feels sincere to me.

Oh, and Savage questioning Simon about Boba Fett caught my attention too. Why wouldn't we want to find an SK?

Bubbles saying she would have voted Matt after the fact pings me.

DFaraday, why does Enrique's defense feel sincere; can you point to a specific post or posts for me?

Also, why re: Bubbles?

Re: Enrique, not really, it was just a tone thing. However now that I realize he misrepresented one of your posts I'm feeling more uneasy about him.

As for Bubbles, it felt to me like she was coming in and saying she would have voted for a baddie after it's resolved, making herself look good without actually having committed to anything.

Glorfindel's Russ vote is weird to me. The most anyone's really suspecting him of is being indy, so why did Glorfindel go for him?

sig wrote:In theory yes though I don't think we should have another slow day and just vote Simon. I was thinking Enrique was in BTSC with Simon if the players don't share BTSC it makes it harder on Enrique's end to find scum. The chances that Simon is scum is high but as I said we shouldn't just default vote for him and not post other theories.

Bass 2.0 hasn't appeared yet and Matt has been afk this phase, I don't like that.

I will vote for whoever votes for me first in this poll.

sig wrote:BAM
I've been tunneling on him since day 1 so glad I was right.

This explains his frustration since he was voted for a connection he didn't know about. So we have two Hutts left I think Roxy attempting to cfd is slightly suspicious, but I also think this gives some more credence to Simon being on the Hutt team. If this is the case I'm not sure Simon/Roxy are on the same team. Thoughts on this?

Enrique you had me fooled once or twice and played a great game looking forward to playing more games with you in the future

DrWilgy wrote: This is what pinged me, how does Bubbles make herself look good by saying "I woulda" on an independent? I would understand the suspicion on her if she "I woulda" -d on Bcornett, but an "I woulda" on a indy doesn't make herself look good, or even distance her from a team. Your suspicion on her feels not genuine.

Also, do explain why her vote for Zebra didn't sit well with you.

I noticed that you asked previous about my suspicion on you... I don't remember answering or not, but If I missed it and waited until now, I'm sorry bout that.

I like Indys, in general I think they're not a problem. But Matt wasn't just an Indy, he was practically an SK. Everyone should want to get out a character who can and will kill anyone else. I think it's seen as a victory to lynch an SK, and Bubbles coming in and saying "I would have helped" feels ingratiating to me. At the very least, it seems as if she wants to blend with the crowd vote on that occasion.

I think Zebra is civ, so anyone's Zebra votes don't sit well with me. In Bubble's case, it was compounded by her Matt comment.

P.S. Thanks for the vote Bubbles.

I agree with you. But it stinks b/c there are so many non-participants and we cannot just sit here and pluck them off one by one hoping they are mafia. We will surely lose that way. My suspicions have been wrong all game, I feel useless.

Are you?

Yes. I am. I really did think Enri seemed genuine. I thought he was good. I thought he would flip civ and clear Simon too. I still think Simon is civ though.

I apologize for my absence, but I've been BEYOND swamped with studying and such. I won't be here until tomorrow about an hour before deadline at the earliest... I just spent my only free time I could allot to the talkative Tree Mafia game, and I spent more time there than I should have. I have an Econometrics II Final tomorrow and need to go back into crunch study mode.

I'm not broke. The way I figure is, if I lose I'm out more money, and if I win, I'll be drawing attention to myself. Either way, I'm not really interested.

MacDougall wrote:Wilgy can you please analyse this recent turn of events.

MacDougall wrote:I had you as town because I had Zebra as town and I picked up what Zebra has been inferring. But I think this recent turn of events makes for more compelling evidence that you are bad, and that her public alignment with you makes her bad by default.

Also, I don't actually think that the bussing of bcornett and Enrique is what it seems. For a few reasons.

1. Enrique would have been lynched eventually anyway. So only bcornett getting lynched before him is unusual but...
2. The *secrets* in crumb's role could mean anything. So there is totally no way to know what you could possibly stand to gain by bussing bcornett.
3. I can see a conversation occuring where you all realise just how teflon you'd be if you bussed bcornett, just so you could defend yourself with this point.
4. I think you guys recruit people.

Linki: Where did you ask that? I had you, Zebra and Niju as the Jawas until I remembered Matt's post.

Golden you made the ONLY two posts that made him lol. Tell me how is it supposed to be decided that Brian is amused? How other than Brian outwardly displaying his amusement in the thread. And you are the only person who amused him. And you did it twice.

Golden wrote:According to Matt's original post, BR also amused him.

This is self-serving, but I very much doubt that this is an accurate way of determining how Crumb is to please Jabba. They are teammates with btsc. If all he had to do was reply to Crumb with 'lol', then he could just reply to basically anything they said. That doesn't sound like a likely or fun mechanic to me.

I don't know what you think zebra has been inferring, but obviously you did not put 2 and 2 together at all. I've made my 'dealio' available in the thread to those who seek it, but it ain't anything about zebra. Hence my when you said you only put it together on the last page. That made no sense to me.
