What a bizarre kill. RIP splints. I came in to today ready to make a case against her, so I guess that’s one off my checklist. "Odd choice for a kill" tell Indeed. This post pinged me a lot, even though I do not really see mafia voting for Sloonei yesterday and I have previously had a tow...

New Rainbow list time:

Sloonei
Elohcin
Vivian 2.0
DrWilgy
Golden
Michelle
Kate
DFaraday
G-Man
bea
sig
Scotty
DharmaHelper
Lorab
Quin

I could see DH being bad. His summaries on Day 1 were lengthy, but largely empty. Classic trying to look helpful but not actually being that helpful behavior. I continue to suspect Quin. I also don't like how quiet it's been today, although I have little room to talk because I wasn't around either.

I remember when mafia always had little subgames. All the trivia and prizes! Value those memories, because these are the days of mostly silent and prizeless nights at The Syndicate. ’Tis a pity that such mirth and joviality is lost on the new generation. Young people truly are just the worst.

I came in to today ready to make a case against her, so I guess that’s one off my checklist.

Not bizarre at all. Several people had her as a strong civvie read, myself included.

RIP Fingersplints. Hey Daisy, I thought you said the contest would be judged my musical experts, not people with terrible taste. :P S – Though this was good, out of the Rush collection, this wouldn’t have been my choice. I prefer “Manhattan Project.” That said, it made good use of its time to calm d...

I would not expect that any mafia voted for Sloonei given the amount of hinting going on. I don't see how it would benefit them at all. I think people who avoided either the Eloh or Sloonei wagons are worth looking at the closest.

Good result is good, even if in a roundabout sort of way.

Twin Peaks, obviously.

I will be switching my vote to Elohcin if I am forced to vote in self-defense. Vivax is my preferred vote, but it is by no means a strong suspicion. I would suggest Quin instead of Elohcin. Quin is perhaps my strongest town read in this game right now. [/quote] Stronger than yourself?

Hi! So fun to see all the old gang again.

One thing that bothered me about Quin was that he demanded an explanation for why I placed him low on my rainbow list, a request I deliberately ignored, and then he never followed up on it. Like he didn't actually care about finding out the answer. I'm tempted to switch my vote. But will I? Low on ...

Bea, Dfaraday, Eloh, and Lorab yet to vote with about a half hour to go.

Eloh, since you're around, any thoughts on where you plan to vote?

Lots of vote switching going on without people posting about it. Very suspicious. There is nothing less alignment indicative. Llama is just having some old school thoughts on this. He came from the days of 1 vote no switching so that makes sense. That, and I really dislike it when people try to dis...

Ok I’m just gonna come outright and say a theory. There’s a vompatti role in this game. I wouldn’t be surprised if it limits its owners post count, even to as little as 1. I doubt that. Apart from being a crippling role mechanic, I never thought of Vompatti as primarily defined by low posting. I re...

Still don’t trust Quin today but it seems like not many agree with me. I sort of agree with you. I’ve gone back and forth on Vivax today and I’m back to feeling not great, but when I do feel good it’s because of solvey behaviour that I’m not keen to eliminate. Vivax is starting to feel yucky to me ...

My initial reads on people have changed so much already. This has definitely been an informative Day 1.

Tastes like crime

"Crime," declared the police captain, "is everywhere, crime, crime!"

Can someone give me an opinion on this? Since right now it seems like Vivax is just throwing stuff at the wall and trying to see what sticks. Especially considering he went from poking me about being defended by Scotty to saying Scotty is white knighting me. The entire interaction is very bizarre a...

EBWOP: "mafia teammates"

Here's an observation: Sloonei came out of the gate with "sig is obviously mafia" very early on. Sig voted for Sloonei. When Sloonei was leading the lynch poll, sig moved his vote away from Sloonei. Could we be seeing some brazen media teammates that call each other out early on Day 1? If ...

I am also no fan of movable votes. There's too much scope for last minute manipulation and it gives an advantage to people who happen to be around when the poll ends, which is not possible for everyone. As others have pointed out, it ruins vote order analysis, which is often very useful. G-Man votin...

If you want to be taken seriously, now's the time. Mostly interested into your takes on Bea, Eloh, Golden. The latter had a period of regular relaxed posting that briefly flashed town to me, but again something felt off on P5 on my latest reread. I do not need to be taken seriously. I just prefer n...

See: My interactions with vivax, plus several other isolated moments if sincerity. I will happily talk about the contents of my posts.

Sloonei wrote: ↑Tue Oct 25, 2022 2:37 pm The “troll question” was meant as a joke. All of my posts should he read as jokey.

I rarely vote based on gut, but I am really getting bad vibes from Sloonei. He started the suspicion on sig, but otherwise almost all of his posts have been very short, jokey, and dismissive. To me it reads like overconfidence, which I tend to associate with the mafia, since they have teammates bac...

Hello! Had a busy morning, but I have a quick read I want to do. I will report back when I complete it.

New read, Bea is civ bc she would know when day ends if she had BTSC. I’m reading Bea as civ too, although I always take my reads of her with a grain of salt because she is good at seeming civ when she is not. I can’t decide if Axey is a particularly unhelpful civ or a baddie. I’m trying to avoid t...

Vivacious posting today, it seems. Too bad I no longer play mafia while at work. Might as well re-read the whole thread while I paint pumpkins and catch up on the bills. I’ll offer what kernels I can, but I’m just as useless on Day 1 as I’ve always been. Civvies don’t paint pumpkins, they carve the...

I have read all the rules and flavor posts, but not all of the roles, for the record. Since I saw this as a topic of conversation RE: Elohcin. I don’t begrudge people for not having the full role list memorized. That being said, I actually think sig coming out and throwing caution to the wind with ...

sig wrote: ↑Mon Oct 24, 2022 5:34 pm Also since some of my meta reads are a bit older who out of the old school players dislike being mafia more?

I seem to recall DF wasn’t a fan of being mafia and posted less when they rolled that way. But, besides them I’m drawing a blank

I like being mafia!

Is it too early for a classic rainbow list? Michelle's participation today (apart from asking for sensitive personal information like my time zone) has me feeling better about her. My vote is unlikely to stay on her. Scotty fingersplints DrWilgy Golden Michelle DharmaHelper DFaraday G-Man sig Vivian...

The fact that no one is trying to lynch me on Day One is very out of character for this site and is making me uneasy.

@thellama73 I don't have a civ game, remember?

I remember every little thing as if it happened only yesterday. I was barely seventeen and I once killed a boy with a Fender guitar.

My sense is that the mafia is laying low right now. Kate has only two posts. Lorab has only three, although she also has a good excuse. Bea has no posts on Day 1 yet. I’ll be watching these players very closely. Is there a reason you skipped over dfaraday who only has 1? Yes, a very good reason. Th...

I am also getting a slight case of the willies from Eloh. Nothing I can put my finger on, but I feel like her posts more resemble her baddie game so far. Maybe it’s the defensiveness. I also want to hear more from Quin. I usually expect more from him, and so far he has almost exclusively posted jokes.
