What is a "great choice" for a vote to you?

10 in a row? Why not!

Rabbit's gone AWALL which is weird.

For my shots I'm tempting to start trimming off no posters thoughts?

What is weird about rabbit being AWOL?

I figure it's indicative of him being a civilian, in that he wouldn't bail on a mafia team like that, especially a mafia team that he would have hand-selected, or was hand-selected for.

Last time he was aggressive like this was in Mortal Kombat. He was Independent then.

But he's been provoked here, so I don't take anything from it.

I fully intend on using that today. I am going to decide who gets lynched if I don't see a lynch poll that I like. Colin is probably going to die. dunya maybe. I am here to burn out like a firework on the fourth of July. And I am drunk. And I will be drunk tomorrow. And I do you know what drunks with fireworks do? It isn't pretty.
If you lynch switch to dunya I will use my lynch switch to switch to you

are you still feeling guilty for the MK mislynch you and JJJ caused?

You've auto-cleared her. She is the subject of tinfoil no matter what. I think that's bullshit.
so your reason for wanting to lynch me is because Jay defends me.

I know you're jelly of our special relationship Epi, but I can share Jay with you too.

I once drove Jay home from a very excellent party.

There are 25 players in this game. Every one of them has a secret power.

You say have a lynch switch.

Just don't switch the lynch to me Epignosis.

2) In addition to their publicly listed class power(s), all players will start with a secret backstory and related power, generally a one shot or passive ability. Two players with the same class will never share the same backstory. The mafia has their own backstories that replace the townie ones but they will be told what their townie backstory would have been as a safeclaim.

Does that mean that the power is secret too, or just related?

Supatown marmots are rare species. They can only be seen one month a year, at the top of high mountains, during a specific combination of temperature and humidity. Tourist caravans have been formed to attempt to take photographs of those wondrous creatures. If you see one, please do not feed it, as it tend to reply with silly pics and quirky smileys when you do.
I'm more concerned that I can't remember a single post he made. He has managed to accrue a 3 page iso on day 1 while causing nary but a faint poo smell left in the air from where he farted and left the room.

Marmot would ordinarily have six votes on him by now. Wtf gives Marmot.

Meh.

There was a time in this game where I had 2 votes and was leading the lynch.

I've been known to post a lot. See Talking Heads and GoC 2015, games you also played in where I posted out the wazoo.

Meh. Colonial Bob started his post off the same way I did.

I didn't say it was weird. I asked the general peoples why not lynch you?

Thanks dunya!

Also if we could switch to a different color for the leader, that'd be great. I switched themes for the time being, and the yellow is hard to see.

Har... Marmot you are so riled up this game. Why?

This happens when we get players from all over into a big, crazy game.

Also, I have every intention of catching dunya in post count (be quiet for like 4-5 days pls dunya).

In regards to my question, no I don't know what you mean.

Why specifically not do something you'd never do? I'd be more conscious of paying attention to my own behaviors and tendencies if I'm mafia than if I'm civilian tbh.

That's why I asked.

Because it's something I oppose. I don't lynch full inactives early because I expect them to be replaced. I can probably link you 5 examples of games from the last 2 years where I said the same thing.

I believe that.

What bugs me is that you seemed to just remember a particular voting strategy that you were using yet generally oppose.

There's that nutella vote.

I lapsed for a few minutes, when I decided I didn't like either of the wagons and Rabbit was easier to lynch than them.

Then I decided my ideology comes first and i'd rather lynch a neutral read such as Nutella or vote for a bad read now than do what is essentially a RNG lynch.

How do you feel about my defending rabbit?

DDL and nutella both voted for Quin. :O

Ah so I did, so sorry about that -- I definitely had you in there while editing and you somehow got deleted. You should be right about next to where Sprityo is. Pretty solid civ read

Woke up to 300+ posts to catch up on, I'm almost done and @dunya I see you asked me a couple things, I'll get to those soon. And I really don't want to get lynched you guys I don't blame some of you for not knowing my meta, but I promise if you give me past my wishy-washy day 1 to get comfortable I can be a valuable scumhunter.

So far I've liked DDL's points on Kenway (and huh I vaguely remember serge) and I feel similarly re: Kites, but I think the case on Quin is the strongest right now -- I still have like 2 pages to read so I'm not sure if he's gotten more votes and I will probably end up voting out of self-preservation if possible (unless Epi is telling the truth about his switch), but for now I think Quin has been looking pretty bad, he posted a bunch of fluff during the draft but once the actual phase started his activity dropped off and he barely provided any content, including saying he had no scum reads.

[VOTE: Quin] aubergine

Out of curiousity, you liked DDL's case on Kenway.

Who's case on Quin did you like? Same question about Kites.

If you want an example of the game i'm currently hosting.

https://www.narutoforums.org/threads/gu ... t-58127893

I'm confused, did you state your belief on not voting for players with no posts on Day 1 in a game that you are hosting?

Dragon D. Luffy wrote: ↑Tue Feb 13, 2018 2:56 pm
You skipped 1 or 2 posts between that and this one.

It's just an example on why I doubt a player can ever be "ashamed" of being inactive.

Gotcha. I'll reiterate my point in this game.

Situation: rabbit8 is mafia. That means that either he is the mafia don and he took the time to draft together 4 other players to his team, or that he was drafted by another player to said team. I doubt he would bail in the first of the above two situations, because he was already invested in the game. In the second situation, someone else picked him. I assert that a player that would recruit him is someone who knows him or has played with him. Again, there is an inherent link of investment.

Yes it's possible that if he is mafia, that he was drafted to a team of players he doesn't know or care about. I find that less likely.

I believe that a lone civilian is more likely to not care about a game and bail in a situation that would directly hurt their team then someone in the above situation I described.

Kylemii asked me to make up an opinion on nutella. I don't even know where to begin with that.

You're playing a game of mafia.

Is it that strange to have an opinion about another player? Especially one with the number of posts and votes that nutella has?
