Re: Death Note Mafia [DAY 1]
I get that and wouldn't try to suggest any more familiarity to a game's theme than needed or that the Host projects. I only meant when some players are taking a purist approach and disregard the "potentiality" of a theme or even start off hunting those who show more affinity for it: for instance, how Voopy was hunted for posting more off-topic (although ironically on-topic) D0 content, as an arguable fan of Film theme and thus influenced to do that; or how right now theme speculators are pinging or being outright mocked. Yeah, I know I only referenced Llama in both cases, but still...S~V~S wrote: @Ricochet (won't call you Chet since you don't want to be called that), generally the theme is secondary to the Mafia. Otherwise people who were unfamiliar with the theme would not play, or would be unable to follow if they did. There is still lots of theme to go around, but you don't NEED to know it in order to effectively play. That can be a bummer if you are way into the theme, but sometimes it does transcend and you get the real feel of the theme. The Harry Potter game here was like that. Although that could be because HP is a theme with which most people are familiar.
Linki: I meant more when I wake up (9-10am-ish) and at least until noon, I still see you being active. Isn't that 3-4am over at you?

Re: Death Note Mafia [DAY 1]
I get up about 4:30 so yeah.
And yes, re the approach. Llama and I tradionally disagree about that. I have gone after him hard for being anti speculation (read: discussion) in the past. That was why I never bought into his Vomps case although I took flack for it; I could see him being energized and thus more involved via the theme.
But much as I don't like it, I have come to accept that this is his normal, and how the game is fun for him.

No need to be coy. You can call me out by name.Ricochet wrote: The player who accuses me of pondering too much on my voting option and being tactical about it (even if I was consistent in deciding to reflect more on it, but he's not the kind of player to care for such details, anyway) is someone who started the game by saying he'll wait for more opinions, waited a whooping 13 minutes, then simply voted for what he wanted anyway (or went along with DH's explanations), only for the rest of D0 to have more and more doubts, especially after hearing reasonings from boo, SVS or Epignosis.

Re: Death Note Mafia [DAY 1]
Bea, to your question, my answer is if I had to choose one that was baddie out of the two, it would be DH because Epi seemed like a frustrated civ, and I think baddie epi would not let frustration get out, as seen in the Donner game. It still doesn't mean he can't be one of the roles that could later align with the baddies, if I understood anything from that long conversation.
But I just couldn't be bothered with their back and forth, so I don't really think anything of DH at the moment either.
Since almost no one has BTSC, it's going to be hard to use voting records or connections between players, so at this point I can see everyone legitimately trying to baddie hunt and don't expect to see much defending, which is definitely going to make things harder for the civvies.
That's where I'm at. Sorry for not having anything worth while to add. There is one thing I am looking at, but I'll keep it to myself for now

The "boring" comment was a joke based on what Aces said.Turnip Head wrote:Sorry that I am boring you, Epi! I'm not tied to anyone though.

I don't. But unlike others, I don't make things up- I go by what I can actually read until something happens that contradicts what I read.Turnip Head wrote:Epi, how do you know that the other, non-Kira members of the baddie teams cannot become new Kiras if they get their hands on a Death Note? To me, it seems safer to get rid of them all, but I agree that exterminating the Kiras first would be optimal.
I didn't say they were a "civvie group."S~V~S wrote:That said, mystery win conditions, potential future BTS based on the role descriptions, and a Kira with a possible death note don't sound like a civvie group, Epi.
It's Day 1. Most any reason is going to seem hallow. That doesn't stop me from voicing them.Spacedaisy wrote:Epi this doesn't make sense to me. I said quite a bit in my analysis of the options earlier in the day and explained where I was leaning. I just didn't say it at the moment of my vote because I was in a rush at that time. Had I been caught up maybe my vote would have been different, I don't know. Probably not because I still liked the idea of trying out something new. I didn't say as much as you did, no. Because I was busy playing mod this morning/afternoon and I wasn't in a pissing contest with DH like you were. I can understand your suspicion, but your reasoning for including me on the short list seems hollow to me.Epignosis wrote:I believe Ricochet was being deceptive in his Day 0 questions.

Ricochet, Turnip Head, spacedaisy, and FZ.
Turnip Head? TH has been boring beyond belief. Also I think he is tied to another player.
spacedaisy voted Day 0 and didn't say why. I think spacedaisy is bad with FZ. FZ. also has been absent. I think these two are unsure of what to say.

Sorry, I'm just not in the mood to play, and at this point, the only reason I'm playing is not to disappoint MP. And this is a shitty reason for thinking I'm bad.
You are right about me not knowing what to say, though. With my lack of enthusiasm and the posting diarrhea that's been going on here, all I'm reading is DH blah Epi blah blah etc'. There is only one person making sense to me at this point.
I'm not familiar with the theme of this game, and did not thoroughly look at the list of roles, just saw a lot of secrets and figured not much point.
At this point, I think the discussion going on is hindering real baddie hunting because I can't keep up.
First, we had an overflow of players (27 instead of 26). You therefore had an opportunity to bow out. You're still here. Not wanting to play doesn't excuse you from being bad.
Second, a civilian FZ. is on the ball and quite perceptive. I have seen it many times. FZ. is a formidable player, someone who isn't afraid to call people on their shit, even when other people are posting like crazy.
Third, nobody really discusses who is bad on Day 0. I tried, but we were hemming and hawing about the Day 0 options. Fine. When in Rome. But it ain't Day 0 anymore...

Re: Death Note Mafia [DAY 1]
To be fair, S~V~S, I have learned that if I don't act this way, people assume I'm up to no good. So
I am not being stubborn- I am having a difficult time with people being unwilling to grasp the simplest explanation as it relates to canon. I cannot imagine why a supposed detective (that's what everyone is pretending to be, yeah?) would feel the need to have fourteen people out of the game instead of four. Doesn't make sense, and that affects how I perceive these people.
PS- It's Rico, Ricochet, or Victor for me.

While MP does have a reputation for hosting shenanigans, I think he has greater reputation for staying true to the theme, which I witnessed in spades in Bioshock, and which you mentioned later in your post. I admire this. I spoiled some of the show for the sake of this game, and if MP is being loyal to canon, as I believe he is, then Yotsuba is not a Mafia. We have a word for people who are not essential and have their own agenda: "Independent."S~V~S wrote:I don't necessarily think Epi is bad, quite the opposite at this point~ lots of what he says makes total civ sense to me, and it is too early to tell with all the chest beating going on. But I am somewhat wary of him not so much for drawing a conclusion re The Yotsuba, as for being so adamant that anyone drawing a different conclusion is so very obviously incorrect. I thought the status of that group was rather vague, and open to interpretation. They are led by a Kira, start with not-necessarily-BTS just like the clearly labeled baddies, and have those ??? win conditions. They COULD be a loosely connected Indy team, or they COULD be a ninja assassin squad or, knowing MP, almost anything.

Re: Death Note Mafia [DAY 1]
Epi, the 27 happened before everything going crazy in the Donner game, so at that time, I still wanted to play. Do you want my back and forth PMs with MP on the matter? :P
Thanks for the compliment, and when I start getting into the game, I hope to actually be helpful, but that's what it is, and I really don't feel like defending myself for something that is out of this game. You want to think I'm baddie for how I'm acting, I guess I can understand it, but it's wrong.
I'll be back later.

Re: Death Note Mafia [DAY 1]
Regarding Ricochet, I've known him off and on as Rico for years, so it would be incredibly difficult to change that, personally -- but if there is a different nickname he decides he's OK with, then that works for me. I could just say Ricochet if they both are playing the same game together; it isn't THAT much more typing. Lol.
I always just call Enrique (aka Rico Suave) Eko, since Mr. Eko is the name I typically knew him by. :P

If anyone who is more acquainted with Enrique being Rico can feel like they can use it for me instead throughout this game, then I'd suggest sticking to Rico. If not, Ricochet is fine. If Enrique and I ever play together in a game, you can decide then on him staying Rico and me going by my full nickname. I'm not fully approving of Ricky either (sorry bea), but that's about the limit I could warm up to. :P Victor is strictly RL / PA bros, and this isn't PA and you are not my bro right now, Epignosis, so...

If I'm thinking of the same post you are, I asked boo for clarification, so sue me for not understanding his intentions from the get-go.

I am getting the impression that Epi is a Y-Group member. At least, that is where I am leaning at the moment. On the other hand, I don't see how he'd be so obvious about it. That is a mistake that I doubt someone like him would make. That being said, he's made some really good points. I'm putting a pin in him until further notice.
DH is DH. If he's bad he's going to get cocky and show off. If he's good he's going to get cocky and show off. Nothing really to say about that.
Boo.
I'm reading him as genuine. His trepidation on the type of player L could or should be read as real to me.
Made
That one post quoted above burned into my eyeballs. I usually find it more suspicious when people say "I'm so clueless" than when they go on for four plus pages arguing over the same points again and again (DH & Epi). It's just a really easy way to get people to ignore you.

I don't think DH's quote from you was out of context or a misinterpretation. I think you very clearly suggested we focus on a group of people based solely on their Day-0 vote. Which would be fine, we do that all the time. But the way you did it was so mafia. Quote someone else, agree with them without saying much of your own, and shift attention to other people with little or no evidence to back yourself up. That has to be taken directly from the mafia play book.

If anything, DP posts more as a baddie since his BTSC teammates tell him to participate morebea wrote: DP's vote for low posters with only thesmiley - was about PERFECT for a DP post. He is always one of the lowest posters. Like ever. OF course he voted that option. Of course he said it with as few words as possible. I actually really did LOL when I read his post and saw his vote.
Says nothing about DP's alignment like AT ALL. I have no idea at all what allignent he had, but flags would have been raised in my personal hed cannon if he voted any other way than the way he did.

Are you suggesting he's a baddie? Why would a baddie be that indecisive? What does he get out of it? And if not, what's the point in even bringing it up apart from appearing like you're baddie hunting?thellama73 wrote:These are in order of posting.

I'm torn between High Poster () and L/Light options. The high poster one would force the baddies (and civvies too!) to be active if they want their votes to count, which should make for a livelier game thread. But the L/Light option seems to indicate it could have some strategic merit as well.

Re: Death Note Mafia [DAY 1]
One thing I was keeping an eye out for when the Day 0 poll was tied was someone trying to tip the scales in favor of L/Light, having held onto the vote in case Normal got overwhelming support later. spacedaisy's late vote for L/Light fit this paradigm and caught my attention.

I was going to defend her because I thought she had been away most of day 0, but she did post two indecisive non-committing posts over 3-4 hours, before voting L/Light without posting

Re: Death Note Mafia [DAY 0]
It's the classic "have it both ways" baddie approach. "Oh look how reasonable I am. I'm listening to everyone. I'm taking all opinion into account. You all have good points!" Refusing to take a stand. Trying to please everyone. I think it is shifty, yes.FZ. wrote: Are you suggesting he's a baddie? Why would a baddie be that indecisive? What does he get out of it?

On who?thellama73 wrote:What is your opinion on them?triceratopzeuhl wrote:"defend" is a bad word, I never actively defend people, just share my opinion on them
Regarding spacedaisy, she's only posted 4 times so I'm willing to believe she was just busy, but the pattern of posts on day 0 was perplexing at best:
15 Feb 2015, 16:19 - "either normal or L/Light. Gonna have to think about this one."
15 Feb 2015, 19:10 - "I am personally looking at either Normal or Light/L"
sometime between then and the poll end - votes L/Light without taking the time to even post 2 words "because busy"
16 Feb 2015, 22:23 - more than a day later - "I had already expressed that I liked both normal and light/l and just decided to cast a vote for the second because I was ok with either and decided to even it up a little more."
So if you agree with epig about "tipping the scales" as a baddie action, there is valid reason to suspect spacedaisy.
If that's the best case you can come up with, you're not going to manage to lynch a civ today like you so badly want toAceofSpaces wrote: Nice "no u". You are quickly earning my vote for today.

Re: Death Note Mafia [DAY 1]
But mainly I was referring to the fact that, in every game I've played with btsc/known teammates, defending them publicly is a terrible idea because it just paints a target on your back - for NK if they are good, for lynch if they are bad. Better to play every game as if you are operating alone

Re: Death Note Mafia [DAY 1]
And I mean, if you want to talk about deliberately misleading, look at your own posts:
Every other option gave a potential easily-exploitable advantage to the baddies, so Normal Lynch is equivalent to a disadvantage for them. Your entire reasoning to support L/Light was based on fallacious arguing, as is your reasoning to try and paint blame on me. Any gameable system will automatically favour the team that will know more of their teammatesAceofSpaces wrote: 1. Normal Lynch is obviously the most "civie friendly" option because it keeps the most control in the hands of the most people.
2. I put "civie friendly" in quotes because the Normal lynch option is also completely safe for baddies. Baddies don't lose anything from picking it. It doesn't put them in any disadvantage at all.

Re: Death Note Mafia [DAY 1]
I defend myself from DH/him, and at the same time level my own accusations, he responds by saying "im gonna lynch u now" instead of defending himself, what are you asking about? Aceofspades is:Metalmarsh89 wrote:What?triceratopzeuhl wrote:If that's the best case you can come up with, you're not going to manage to lynch a civ today like you so badly want to
L/Light supporter
low poster
sharing other people's ideas exclusively - without even going back to the original "suspicious" posts
it's not concrete but it's multiple pings - lynching baddies consistently is about either an obvious slip (there have been none yet by anybody) or behaviour recognition over the course of several days.
If I have time this evening I'll read back through the thread and determine which people aceofspades is pulling theories from (be nice if he had used quotes instead of barely rephrasing) - if they are similarly L/Light supporters with other pings, I'm probably on to something here.
As I said before, keeping an eye on people who do something isn't remotely the same thing as lynching somebody for doing something - which is what DH and AceOfSpades are bother trying to do. The game isn't the simplistic - not if you want to win. Flag it and continue playing, vote the players with the most flags.

Re: Death Note Mafia [DAY 1]
(so many posts in a row) in addition,
1. if Aceofspades' only reasoning for voting L/Light was fun, why did he bother to make a list later of why it's "good?"
2. Know what's fun? Winning. Baddies want the best chance of winning for the best chance of "having fun"
