I was afraid she had been manipulating us into feeling sorry for her. But I was wrong.

I’m kinda glad that I won’t be around to endure this after the next 24 hours.

Somebody tell me why Simon is town after this lynch, because this is weird.

Re: Mortal Kombat Mafia [Night 3]
Based on Simon’s performance so far it’s hard to say he isn’t mafia but I feel like that shook out as if he were Town. I’m not sold on it, but I don’t think that should be where the lynch should be tomorrow at least.

Yes, absolutely it does.JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Sat Jan 20, 2018 9:00 pmIt's pointless. MacDougall is here for one phase presumably, and he wants speedchuck dead.

Indeed, the only "hunting" I see is an agreement with dunya wondering aloud about LC as Kano. He griped at confirmed dead civilian MacDougall again. Not great.
Go look at that ISO. Does it look to you like a civilian speedchuck dealing with an incorrect confirmed civilian? He hasn't given Mac the time of day other than to at him and pooh pooh his play.
When someone who you know makes a case against you that is just saying you are bad over and over, that is annoying and Speedchuck has acted annoyed.
Now I am annoyed because I was thinking we'd lynch a baddie and I could focus on Speedchuck but instead we lynched a townie and now I have to second guess you and Tony.

Super annoyed that Dunya basically let herself die.
Super annoyed that Mac thought Simon was mafia and still fought tooth and nail against us lynching him.
Maybe townies try to lynch mafia okay? Let's try that as a new strategy.

You can't hide your vote in a train you created on someone you claim is on his team no less. That would just be confusing to do considering all the players you lumped together.
I think what MIGHT have happened is Speed and Dunya are teammates with Jack, possibly Simon and railroaded Simon to save those two from a three way tie. Or Simons a civ who wont defend himself anyway.
He was around to defend himself. Choose not to.
He's bad.
You think me and Simon are bad together? Let me lynch Simon. What do you care?

Re: Mortal Kombat Mafia [Day 3]
Information is theoretical, and in these huge ass complex setups it is nothing close to infallible. It is a component of a decision, not the entirety. My least favorite thing as of the deadline was speedchuck's handling of MacDougall's ghost. I was also expecting dunya to save herself at the end with a Simon vote. I didn't anticipate the last-second switch from lapluie or dunya's resignation.Jackofhearts2005 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 21, 2018 1:05 amWhy? You thought I had info on Simon.

Re: Mortal Kombat Mafia [Night 3]
Hey, RIP dunya. Sorry if lapluie discredited the info-claim theory, but I went to work hours before the lynch was up and before she came back, and I had to make a snap decision... and that decision was the one I expected to make, especially when you were already the clear vote leader. So, lame.

Re: Mortal Kombat Mafia [Day 3]
"Strictly less suspicious people" is where you and I diverge. Apart from this possible information, which I am already conditioned not to entirely trust in a game with multiple blockers, a switcher, and 20+ ??? abilities that do god knows what, I didn't believe the case against Simon was that interesting. Indeed, for me the potential that information existed was the case against Simon. It wasn't "information exists and he is also super suspicious". He's a 10 year old kid that rarely gets heavily involved in a game. I've never seen him do much more than he has here regardless of alignment. His specific reaction to the train was to place a self-preservation vote. That is protocol. I'd have liked it more if he said something too. He'll be a suspect moving forward.Jackofhearts2005 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 21, 2018 1:24 am Tell me why Speedchuck or Dunya would be preferable or even comparably good lynches to Simon if I didn't have info.

~ Lap's late switch fits her continued suspicion of dunya. She has said that she was afraid of being manipulated by dunya or something similar, and given MacDougall's comments at the end I can frankly believe her on that.
~ I don't know what you're referring to yet re: TSP. Stand by.
~ Wilgy is also a suspect and I don't think it matters much what speedchuck's alignment is on that front.
~ I said earlier that I didn't like Elohcin gluing dunya to Simon merely because she had defended him. That's an overly simplistic read and it felt shoehorned into a thread which was begging for dunya votes. One can also suggest that if she and Simon are mafia, then by gluing dunya to him and lynching her first she severs that tie and makes him look better -- this is a more speculative notion but it's worth discussion.

There's a cop, a lie detector, a letter learner and a tracker plus hidden powers. There is one known power that would make any of these incorrect.
Meanwhile Ermac said a block wasn't the cause of the failure so the multiple blocks don't enter into it.
If you think night power info is the only reason for the Simon case (it isn't. Dunya did a comparison of townie and scum Simon in previous games), I don't see why you wouldn't follow it.

Re: Mortal Kombat Mafia [Night 3]
I'm going to be honest. I have hardly read anything Ermac said. There's a portion of this phase I did not get around to reading given the business I've had to tend to this weekend outside this game. When time permits I'll review all of that and decide whatever I decide.Jackofhearts2005 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 21, 2018 1:52 am There's a cop, a lie detector, a letter learner and a tracker plus hidden powers.

Also consider the role of culture here. You come from a place in HCRealms where role-driven information is arguably the most critical element of the hunting process. In a classically-styled Syndicate full game, it is a different beast as are perceptions thereof.

Re: Mortal Kombat Mafia [Night 3]
With HCRealms games, you have safeclaims, misdirectors, bus drivers, shape shifters, hiders, scum who die and flip town and then come back and flip bad when you kill them a second time. All in the same game.
Here, the front page tells you there are lots of info gatherers and next to know misdirection roles.
I'm trusting someone on the Syndicate who I think probably has info more than I trust someone on the realms who says "I copped so and so mafia."

Re: Mortal Kombat Mafia [Day 3]
Is this to say that you don't believe it's a likely scenario that a mafia Simon would have been lynched primarily by civilians? If so, why?TonyStarkPrime wrote: ↑Sat Jan 20, 2018 11:33 pm Simon is town because as far as I can tell he didn’t get bussed by his own team.

Jimmy, please explain what happened between here
Cause neither Simon nor Speedchuck did anything relevant between these posts.

JackOfHearts should check in.
Anyways, let’s talk about Simon. My main concern about Simon being mafia is that I don’t see visible signs of people trying to save him. Besides that last minute Lap switch. That was pretty bleh. But I wouldn’t put Lap on my Mafia list (which might be on me). To me it seems like mafia just sat the end of that day out, which would suggest either they all had their votes where they wanted them and didn’t care between the top two / three.
@JJJ
If Simon got lynched and flipped mafia, the assumption would be that mafia bussed him hard. So obviously a Simon lynch would have town votes on it but it would also be an easy way for mafia to get cred and I doubt they wouldn’t take it.
I guess I’ll phrase my original question this way. How many mafia members do y’all think were on the Dunya lynch?

They don't have to do anything relevant. I am a player continually thinking through the end of the phase and my mind will morph in accordance with all accumulated data.
speedchuck was my preference and I tried to generate that lynch when Mac made it clear he wanted an alternative.

Okay.
Believe what you will. I've too little time in this game available to waste it on this. You're wrong.

Re: Mortal Kombat Mafia [Day 3]
One of very few possibilities where Simon as mafia makes sense to me but I don’t know if I’m quite paranoid to indulge in it yet.
Also I just reread EOD and I gained a new scumread on Mac :P.

Re: Mortal Kombat Mafia [Night 3]
So with 8 votes on Simon (who you thought I had info on) and 6 votes on Dunya (who you thought was town) and 14 min to go, you decided to tell people voting Simon to switch to Speed, who had 1 vote on him.JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Sun Jan 21, 2018 2:27 am They don't have to do anything relevant.

But you're a townie and couldn't anticipate how this plan could have resulted in a townie lynch?

Re: Mortal Kombat Mafia [Night 3]
I don't quite follow. If the prevailing assumption were that the mafia were bussing Simon, wouldn't that significantly limit any credit they can expect to earn for having done so?TonyStarkPrime wrote: ↑Sun Jan 21, 2018 2:22 am @JJJ

Re: Mortal Kombat Mafia [Night 3]
Super WIFOM but I don’t think it’s accurate. Let’s say Lap didn’t switch and Simon got lynched and flips Maf. Who takes more suspicion: Dunya voters or Simon voters?JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Sun Jan 21, 2018 2:35 amI don't quite follow.

I respect that you believe what you're saying sig, but these kinds of "X saved Y!" and "X is trying to hot potatoe Y civilian!" type arguments fall flat so much more frequently than they amount to anything. Catching mafia is not that easy.

Re: Mortal Kombat Mafia [Night 3]
In a vacuum, the dunya voters probably take more suspicion -- though I'd expect both wagons to draw significant scrutiny given the environment of the thread prior to that point. You've said that you don't feel Simon is as likely to be mafia given that his voters don't appear to be mafia (i.e. your suspects were more centralized on the dunya wagon). What specifically drives these suspicions for you, your belief in Simon as a civilian or your suspects as suspects? I'm trying to piece apart the chicken and the egg of what you're saying.TonyStarkPrime wrote: ↑Sun Jan 21, 2018 2:40 amSuper WIFOM but I don’t think it’s accurate.

That wasn't a hypothetical question. I want you to walk me through what you were trying to do minutes before EOD with the switch to Speed.

Re: Mortal Kombat Mafia [Night 3]
I was trying to lynch speedchuck. 14 minutes is a long time. In Mountain Mafia I went from third place in a tally to first place, covering about 5-6 votes dropped on me in quick succession, in the space of about 10 minutes. I wanted to make that happen. Hot potatoes only require a series of clicks by active players in the thread. I didn't succeed.Jackofhearts2005 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 21, 2018 2:54 am @JaggedJimmyJay
