[LOST Again S1] Mafia chat

#241

We will see. I dunno if people might think I'm the most likely to use a tactic like deliberately not killing. I don't think I am, but people have got me lynched before by wrongly assuming they know how I'd act in a particular context. Wilgy promised to avoid the endgame coinflip so maybe that will make him look bad or maybe it'll make him look good. We'll have to do some serious thinking about who we want in the final three, I'm thinking one of SVS or Epi might have to die as both trust me and each other too much to count on their support of our win. This is still going to be tough.

#242

Both could be dangerous together in the final 3. They are also the 2 that are most civ-looking. Objectively, SVS is the most civ looking, but both are smart and could turn the tide if left alive.

#243

I think either one would stick with me in the final 3 if the other was Nutella or Wilgy. However if I leave them both alive I'm not sure they won't turn on me. Right now I think Epi is the better option to keep alive but that could change. I will see how day plays out to decide which to kill.

#244

Also tonight's lack of kill will look bad for Nutella so I wonder if she'll be lynched next. Wilgy's comments earlier on could also put him in danger.

#245

I'm sorry about the interview, Bullz. If it makes you feel any better, I was rejected a total of 41 times in 2015 (often by the same people) before getting the job I have now. Stay in it, bro!

#246

Thanks man

Like I said in the Arkham thread, I'm legit not that arsed about this one. It would've been nice, but the uni was meh and there are a whole bunch of reasons why I just wasn't that impressed. I'd have taken it if they'd said yes, but them saying no is very much their loss and not mine. One of my best friends is going to do her Masters at Sussex and I'm applying to join her there, and an opportunity in Dublin has just come up - I've always wanted to go to Ireland. I'm also considering waiting for the American and Canadian unis to start talking about scholarships for international PhD students since I want to go to both those places for an extended period of time.

#247

I think keeping Epi around is dangerous. I would suggest killing him next, but your call!

Tbh, it really felt like him declaring to the thread that you and SVS were definitely not bad was him asking the last baddie to kill you both. And if you both don't die, I'm wondering if Epi would find that suspicious. In fact, everyone calling you their last lynch candidate should earn you a NK from the baddies so hopefully nobody mentions that. Ha!

Also sorry to hear Bullz. I know you said you're cool with it, but still, sucks.

#248

Pretty sure SVS is about to turn on me, and if she does I'm screwed. Especially since I won't be around on Thursday. If people turn on me today that's it, no chance.

#249

As soon as I have to defend myself in the slightest bit people will come out with "lol bullzeye overreacting as usual he's obvs bad" and that will be it. Always the way.

#250

Yeah dude, it totally looked like she about to gun for you with the "something I've been wrong about from the beginning".

Haha. Is the jig up?

Who are you going to say you most suspect?

#251

When you do answer, it's maybe best to say something along the lines of "I'm not sure. I thought lynching Zebra would end the game. Now that I have a bit of free time (referencing the lost opportunity at uni), I'm going to reread the thread." Then point to Wilgy or nutella eventually, because I don't think it'd be a good idea to turn on Epig or SVS at this point.

We should wait for Scotty, though, to see what he thinks. Derp.

#252

I'm going to go after Nutella and explain why. But tbh I expect that anything I say will just be twisted against me now. The fact is I can't play at all on Thursday and therefore I'm fucked if anyone wants me dead. If she comes after me, and I say I'm going away, that will just mean everyone assumes I'm lying to get out of it. Seriously, good or bad, whenever someone suspects me and I say anything at all in my defense everyone just jumps on me for it. Being everyone's easy target gets old.

Remember, you're not a target yet. Don't respond in the thread with that kind of vibe. Just answer her question all easy breezy as if you believe she's just asking a fellow civ of their opinion.

#254

I know. I'm just saying. But it is obvious why she's asking me and me alone.

#255

"Good question. I thought the game would end with Zebra's lynch, and wasn't really looking elsewhere. Now that I have a bit of free time, I'm going to ISO all remaining players, but on the top of my head, Wilgy and nutella are most likely, IMO."

Lol. Something like that. Dude I dunno man.

Gaah! SVS will destroy us all!

#256

To be fair I have literally the best voting record in this game. Up until Zebra died I was the only living player who'd never voted for a civ and so far 2/3 of my suspicions have been correct.

#257

Also if there is another night in this game it now has to be SVS who dies.

Right, though? I would understand if you get lynched eventually, but if you get lynched today with Wilgy and nutella still alive...

Btw, I liked your post. However, I'm probably biased. We'll see what SVS has to say when she returns.

#259

That long winded Epi ISO post is like Ben Brantley rating your performance as outstanding on the opening night of your Broadway debut.

He's clearing you as civ.

Now if SVS comes back with some high falootin theory abou your badness, it might be a good idea to keep her around because of her penchant to suspect you. I don't know what concrete evidence she can come back with that counteract Epi's brilliant ISO on you. With a steady stream of suspicion coming from SVS it will give you more cred for the Mafia not killing you. the question is will anyone buy it?

Let me think about this.

#260

So 5 left, maybe Nutella gets lynched today.
You kill SVS tomorrow night like you say, then you're down to Wilgy and Epi for lylo. Epi has all but cleared you, and Wilgy is none the wiser.

Man, I really hope SVS doesn't say anything too damning. Ignore what I just posted, kill SVS next. She is the most civ-looking of the two of you and you only need to survive that one before it's a done deal.

#261

in other news, I'm currently flying to LAX and I am the very last seat in the back. I don't recall a lot of the tail section of the plane making it out on the show.

If I die, I want my prized YMCA basketball trophy from the 3rd grade to go to charity. Thank you.

#262

Wow. Lol.

I went and looked at Homestar Runner and Sherlock, and boy, I really do go after you in every game, Bullz! Haha!

Remember, Bullz, don't freak out when you respond to SVS.

Question - Do you typically bus teammates, Bullz? If you don't, then you can always go with the "Okay, one teammate maybe I'd bus, but two of them? C'mon" or something. Or whatever you want to say, you seem to be posting way better stuff then I come up with.

Btw SVS, whenever you get around to reading this, good job sniffing me and Bullz out.

#263

Yeah SVS has a very fine dog nose for Mafia this game apparently. Woof.

I agree with Matt here. Play it cool, but still honest that you maybe would bus a teammate. WIFOM that shit like you are Stanley from Prinxess Bridd.

the steward gave me free wine on the flight so 5 glasses in and I'm flat drunk. Let's win on for th gipper!

#264

This is so dumb.

#265

I don't know how she came to that conclusion so effortlessly. She and Typh have been very good this game. Probably should have killed her last night as well, but ehhh. Again, I don't think it will stick. Thiugh now she has opened the can of worms.

Yeesh. Killing her now may look guilty.

#266

If I don't kill her, we definitely don't win.

#267

Don't fret, Bullz. I liked your two posts this morning (although the first one was funny..."do you really think I would bury my team the way that I have this game?" LOL).

Wilgy seems to be looking for answers, I would suggest letting him and SVS have a back and forth before you come back, see what happens. And if we're lucky, perhaps Epi will come back and defend your honor.

Or just do whatever haha. Would a civ Bullz keep responding or would he see someone coming after him and let it settle a bit before posting? Just do whatever you think civ Bullz would do haha.

Damn SVS is good.

#268

I just give up, today has been such a shitty day for me that I don't have the energy for mafia. Even if I do try to defend myself I'll just get the age-old accusation of overreacting and die for trying. I don't know why I play this game sometimes.

I just want to tell you good luck- we're all counting on you.

Typh did the same thing to me. They're 100% correct, but will also give you no outs when they're deadset in thinking you're bad. I dunno, man. It doesn't look great, and the fact that they even came to that conclusion based on not posting is one I don't think I would have noticed.

Just sit back a bit and see if you can last this round. I often have little pangs where I'm like wtf am I doing? Hell, I posted like 800 times in LC's Recruitment mafia, and didn't win. So whatever.

#270

Don't worry about it, Bullz. Even if we lose, we're still obvi the best Mafia team ever and should be proud of that.

Chill, collect your thoughts, and come back later. Remember, whenever you post for the last time today, be sure to remind people that you are graduating and won't be around Thursday. Would town really lynch a graduate??

#271

Of course they would because they'd say I was lying in an attempt to get out of it.

#272

Lol.

If you get lynched, oh well. We still had a blast (or I did anyway haha). I hope you don't think me and Scotty will be like "Oh Bullz sucks we never wanna be teamies with him again". Quite the opposite, I believe we should petition to be baddie teammates every game!

#273

Here here!

Lol. I swear, every single game we play, I go after you Bullz. No one says jack. Now Sorsha and DF are all over my comments about you, too. Wth???

Anyway, off to work. I don't think I'm going to comment this morning, let's see where the thread goes by the time I get home.

Later gents!

Told you guys

Bwahahaha

#275

Alright, so Epi hasn't responded to SVS yet, but he did just post and it looks like he's still eyeing nutella.

That's good right now!

Something we need to figure out assuming SVS doesn't get Bullz lynched today...

Do we kill SVS or not?

I'm not sure which looks better, tbh. I'm leaning on letting her live.

She might even question her own instincts if we let her live.

I was thinking about that, as I said earlier. But I do think killing her is our best option:

If we kill Epi, who is our current knight in shining armor, Wilgy and SVS- who have current doubts (even though Wilgy hasn't voted Bullz yet)- could just lynch Bullz and we will prolly lose. Plus to the lay observer, mafia killing one of the 2 most non-civ players throughout the game is a glaringly obvious strategy that these guys might pick up on.

If we kill SVS, then at least Wilgy can continue being a Doubting Dennis, and we still have a chance with Epi clearing us. It could look like framing being done for Bullz, and I think we would still have a chance to make it out.

Or. Epi could just wise up after his main target, nutella, is found to be civ, and vote Bullz.

#277

Scotty wrote:Do you think it likely that down the line playing the bored civ card and not dying will make people wonder? I think having a little flak last phase was good for you overall, so you at least look a little dirty. The argument against why you aren't being killed by Mafia could be that you are a low-participating civ, and the Mafia might want you to stick around as well. So your strategy could be incredibly valid!

I believvvve

I still believvvvve

#278

I think it would be funny if Bullz doesn't die, if we don't kill anyone again tonight.

#279

SVS wants us to read you, Matt.

I read you.

You are Matt.

Hah! Now what, SVS? I read him- now what?

#280

At this point I'm almost certainly going to be lynched while I'm not around to argue, so I really don't care what happens. It's not like I ever win anyway, I don't know why I thought this game would be any different. Sorry guys. I got really bad news when I woke up this morning and the rest of the day has just been a downward spiral for me. I can't play in this mood.

Yo man, if we lose we lose. ee gave it our best. Seriously, you should be proud of that. Sometimes people just get stuck in their ways of thinking and the cookie crumbles the wrong way.

Whatever happened to you this morning, take solace that you're not dead. Because then you'd be dead.

#282

Bullzy, don't be so hard on yourself lol.

Seriously, if we lose, oh well. Not a big deal.

#283

That's right, you tell her Epig! Bullz wouldn't bus his entire team!

No matter how this plays out, I'm havin' fun. Can't wait to see Spectator Chat!

#284

Wow, she's really gunnin' for you Bullz!

This is somewhat exciting.

#285

Epi has declared SVS "all right" ! SVS is encouraging Epi to look at her case further!

This is nail biting!

#286

She is about to sway Epi. If nutella does get lynched, and if Epi's case against Wilgy is not at all there, he could just vote Bullz tomorrow and it would be game over.

And no one would buy that SVS is bad, I mean hell, even Epi is not suspecting her really.

#287

Lol. SVS is going to take us down.

Abandon ship!

(we should've killed her last night. gotta love hindsight!)

#288

Will Epi vote for nutella or Bullz?!

Hopefully Wilgy keeps his vote on nutella regardless! Gaaah!

#289

Oh my, he made a big ol' case on Wilgy but hasn't voted yet.

If he votes Wilgy, let's hope Wilgy keeps his vote on nute and let's hope we win the tie.

Oh boy, that's a lotta hope.

#290

Btw Bullz, I hope you're enjoying your graduation!!!

Remember, even if we lose, we won, because we got to share this awesome btsc. Woot!
