Please forgive me, i'm clearly a wreck

We're you spectating after you died? Who's pinged you as a spectator and why?

Same questions to @MacDougall

WTF? How is this? Like reading the thread is a waste of time? And baddies apparently don't like to play mafia anymore. If so whats the fucking point?

Take my thoughts lightly, fine. But JJJ was up to no good last night IMO.

I think you're bad I would assume you would offhandedly defend JJJ and claim I was losing, par for the course.

Yeah, thats a fucking glaring reason to kill you. So you know, he could come out and say, hey, why would I kill Sloo. Like he fucking did the second I accused him of being bad.

Spoiler: show

MacDougall wrote: ↑Sun Jan 14, 2018 6:46 am Generally yes but in this context in particular? You genuinely feel that the average player is more likely to seek out alternative ways to play the game as a civvie than mafia?

In a vacuum, absolutely yes. Mafia members slank off more in general, and when the universe hands them an excuse to do it free of judgment, many of them are going to be very pleased -- even those who've been under some pressure. Also consider the character of Quin's involvement in this period of connectivity issues: is he merely fending off accusations and assure survival, or is he attempting to solve the game?

JJJ, your agenda is clear. The mafia are slackers and don't post.

They are exactly the opposite of you and your posting restriction.

Like me, I'm a slacker cause I didn't post when you expected me too, right? Yeah, right.

You're spewing diarrhea. Tell me why I killed this guy:

JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Thu Jan 11, 2018 3:09 pm Also, Sloonei is a lock civilian and I'm done sorting his alignment for the remainder of the game.

So's Jay. Watching you try to keep yourself within your self-imposed restriction is fun.

Interesting. I was going to actually ask you for your opinion but you have given it anyway.

Why?

He's oozing with sincerity, there's emotion in his dialogue with Jack that I don't think would be there if he was bad, and his self-imposed post cap is something he could easily milk if he drew a scum role. Instead he seems to be struggling against it. Not to mention the alignment of his thoughts with mine in more than one place.

Sloonei wrote: ↑Sat Jan 13, 2018 10:25 pm Food for thought: Jay reads me better than any other mafia player on Earth. I will arrogantly claim that I read him better than any other mafia player on Earth. We've both called each other "lock town reads" already in this game. How do people feel about this?

rabbit8 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 18, 2018 10:43 pm Is your posting restriction over JJJ? Are you done lecturing on how baddies are lazy incompatant boobs and reading the thread is a waste of time?

Yes that ship sailed a while ago. If you really care about that posting restriction you can learn all about it right here. You can also see plenty of squeaky alignment-free chatter on how much I think bad guys tend to slank off. I also think that time spent reading thousands of posts is often better spent simply interacting in real-time. That portion doesn't have to amount to suspicion, it is philosophical. However, I have seen bad guys hide behind their periods of "catching up" to excuse their lack of contribution.

You don't agree? Well jolly for you.

I'm very jolly. You seem to be the one who is upset I called you out. You got hyper defensive. What you think time is better spent on and what I do is obviously not the same, to use it as a scum read is absurd.

You've seen bad guys blah blah blah, have you seen me do it? Has anyone seen me do it? Have you asked the multitude of players who have seen me play is if hide behind excuses like these lame players who apparently do it all the time. No you jumped on the first thing you could to get a bad read on me while claiming WIFOM defense of why would I kill the guy who reads me as town bullshit defense.

So you usually just assume players meta without actually discussing it? That's not what I've seen of you in the thread. Jumping to conclusions seems out of character from the rereads I've done on you the last day.

after you died ITT, did epi PM you to tell you that you're not completely out of the game?

just totes curious about that and how far ahead Epignosis is with the setup or if this was player initiated.

Talk to me about your suspects, lapluie! who are they? what makes them bad?

Dunya- voted sig right after tonystarkprime had most votes fo lynch, saved him so he won't be killed & end up killing a civilian
Simon- ??? Dodging questionares, givign little hope in defending himself at all, not trying enough. ( maybe this is drwilgy? ?) I dont know both still aren't even trying
Tonystark - dunya
Made- vanished after bein accused. Maybe he is playing the underground so nobody notices his movement.
Nova - hasn't really been givign more though in his votes. Seems to be just picking sides for a lynch to happen.

Your suspicion of dunya seems to be contingent on TonyStarkPrime also being suspicious, but when explaining why Tony is suspicious, you only cite dunya's behavior. Is Tony a suspect if dunya isn't in this game?

The whole she tried to save him as he's partnered up with her is mainly why, nothing else. He hasn't contributed in anything today. not very strong defense but that's what I'm going off of.

Were you Mafia, who would likely have been the top 5 targets for your last night kill and (briefly) why would you have selected each? We await your considered response.

I'm really not in a position to answer this. I only loosely followed along during Day 2, with absolutely no effort toward deciphering the curses. So it was truly chaos to me. I loved it, but it wasn't anything I could develop any reads from. My work schedule and other mafia commitments have sapped me of my ability to make a big impact on this game during my brief window of participation. I can really only comment on things that are placed directly in front of me.
which reminds me that dunya did that earlier, but I was busy and totally ignored her.

I am sorry that your are unable to accomodate our request but given your circumstances and we wish not to impose too heavily upon you, may we pose our question another way?

Were you Mafia, what factors would you have considered or would’ve influenced your decision in arriving at a night kill target?

This question (the original one about the identity of 5 likely night kill targets) is open to anyone to answer but it is your response Master Sloonei upon which we await.

Quin wrote: ↑Sat Jan 20, 2018 4:10 am I haven't got any idea how to read lapluie's cases, dunya. I went through some games we've played (I'd link them but we don't have proper ISO's over there, you can have links if you really want them). My immediate observation is that she has a lot more to say overall compared to the shorter comments we're seeing here, both as town and as scum. I don't think it's alignment indicative. I think she's more likely intimidated and struggling to get her feet on the ground; the personalities here are definitely a different sort than our other site.

And I don't think so 3J. I've seen plenty of that before.

I assume you guys will be able to use your night actions tonight too? Correct? Since we're in this realm tonight until Day 4. I wonder how the mod will handle that. Have any of you asked? We get results for night actions after end of night so I wonder what happens.

Amazing game. Major props to Eloh for sticking it out through those last couple suuuper stressful days. Really thought we wouldn't make it there but she pulled through. And speed, awesome job. Also thanks Jay for your funky shenanigans.


Thanks Epi I loved this game and I loved tricking everyone

It was awesome to see and brought a figurative tear to my eye. This was the most challenging game should could have picked to sign up for in her Syndicate debut. I'm pretty sure the size and complexity of this one were both unlike anything she'd played before, and it seemed like her play grew stronger as the game went on.

I'm excited to actually play a game for more than a single phase with you in the future, lapluie. And I'm relieved my Day 1 read on you was correct.

whew sloonei!! thanks for cheering me on!! Yes you're the definitely correct on the latter- game was more comfortable interacting with everyone on a more calmer? Note than before when it was fewer players left, which was much more flexible to be vocal & jazz. but woah, what a game, I'd be happy to play more with you also...just don't keep dying on the first days ok?

How'd you get correct read on me? tell me more about that
