It's too late, the day's almost over. I really hope you're lying here.

linki: Nope, you're a better lynch than bcorn. As JJJ now inexplicably concurs...

Will your lynch by as useless as my own?

#1449

Day 2 post will come shortly.

Elohcin will be punished for self-voting; reywaS will be punished for missing the vote.

Since Black Rock just replaced in, she will get off with a warning... just this time.

I thought he was talking about this:

It's quiet hours at the hostel so I can't actually play the song. Instead, you get mime-lip syncing -- which I had to do in front of another human being who surely thought I was insane. This is the best I can do under the circumstances.

Spoiler: show

Also, here's the actual song so you can play it simultaneously if you so desire.

The lyrics begin at approximately 0:21 of my terrible video and 0:20 of the actual song.

#1453

We are allowed to post during the night phase correct?

#1454

I'll eat my words if LC is bad, but JJJ just played the entire end of day to his own ends and played us all for fools.

He had his vote on brian all day and, without brian even being around, suddenly declared him to be good.

I think JJ's play all day has been about killing LC, despite any people talking to him about LC. Despite the fact its pointed out by people who know LC well that all the people voting for him do not.

There are only a small handful of explanations for this, and not many of them feel civilian-aligned to me.

Golden gets pretty into the game, if I recall, just so the RYMers know. I don't think he meant that JJJ was literally a fool. I only wanted to point this out before any arguments occur.

Well... it will be useful in that my game that's about to go into signups will get the attention it needs to be ready on time. But it's not going to help the Civvies win, unless some detectively types can comb through my voters (and possibly those who specifically avoided voting for me) to find the baddies there.

Really, I think you're more likely to find baddies among those that were more sure that I am Civ. The baddies are the only ones who know for a fact that it's true.

This is quite possible, but that still doesn't make bcorn a good lynch. And if JJJ was intending to lynch LC from as far back as that, then I'm willing to bet it was a bus to earn town credit. Right now I'm foaming at the mouth for that MP post.

LC what are your scum reads HURRY HURRY HURRY

#1460

No explanation necessary Long Con, just post your top one or two or three scum reads. It will help town regardless of your alignment.

So this is what happened with me not being around the last two days? People thinking I am lie low or something? I'll be going back and the last 500+ posts over the next day.

#1462

Day 2: (Nothing But) Long Con

Day 2 has ended. Long Con has been lynched. He was (Nothing But) Flowers.

It is now Day 3. You have 48 hours to lynch another player.

Please note that Sloonei and I need all Night 2 PMs in 20 hours, which is by 8:00PM Eastern time tomorrow, Friday, October 9th. We are moving the deadline up temporarily in order to get back on a more regular, earlier schedule. If this is a problem, let us know.

#1465

One mislynch for one baddie lynch. I will fucking take it on the silver platter that it was given. We might win this game after all.

okay now I'll read MP's thematic flair

#1466

LC was bad.

I take it back JJJ, you are not a fool.

Because the post that I responded to is a clear indicator of how misguided the case against bcorn was.

I said I haven't been present since night one, you should be glad I wasn't lynched especially since I'm town aligned, which would be a waste of a lynch.

#1469

haha i sort of like having to go back to the first post to use as an index when someone gets lynched.

This has happened to me on RYM twice as well, I happened to be busy during the first part of the game and people immediately assume I'm guilty. I guess I cant blame people lack of participation doesn't help...sometimes not much you can do though.

#1472

Ooooh... Nice lynch!

At least you have time to get the A World Apart game going

#1473

@bcorn - don't worry, lots of us are low participation right now.

As I said to BR, I don't think you are bad for 'low participation', I thought it because of the content of that participation.

But, now that we are one baddie down, I'm going to spend the weekend recharging and thinking of the whole context of the game from scratch.

#1474

Anyway, I'll explain my nonsense now:

I don't have time in Sweden to read this entire thread and analyze it to get the substantive reads I normally like to get. I decided that I can better use my time during this appearance, which might be my last for a decent while (hard to say what we'll be up to out here), to inspire some uniquely gut-readable content right now. The best way I know to do that is to inspire new content relative to my own presence in the thread -- and my behavior will directly determine what manner of content will be inspired.

So I went off my rocker.

I did some things that I rarely do as a townie. I placed a vote without an explanation, and refused to give one when so prompted. I made vague, ominous statements with scary emoticons to provide the appearance of WIFOM, and I only acted sillier when people took notice and commented. Members of both forums in this game, RYM and The Syndicate, ought to know me by now as a verbose, thorough player. So I figured the best behavior I could exhibit to bring out gut-readable reactions was to be anti-JJJ -- especially towards EOD when energy and emotion is already heightened.

The truth is: I was never really invested in that llama vote I made. I need more time to mull over that, and ideally to communicate with him myself, to decide how I feel about him. Long Con was a consistent suspect of mine since he revealed his proposed ruse about his bea suspicion. Though he did an admirable job of responding to my points, I wasn't quite sold (I was more moved by sig's responses to my beefs) and it seemed like the best place to put my vote especially considering the way the tally developed over the last few minutes.

linki: hey look at that flip!

So how did I feel about people's reactions to my goofiness?

Zebra -- He did exactly what I would have expected -- he trusts me 0% of the time if we replay that scenario a million times. I still feel good about him.

Epignosis -- Ehhhh. He didn't touch this thing with a ten foot pole. That might mean he understood on some level that I was up to something pro-civilian (given his earlier stated trust in me), or it might mean he was avoiding a potentially explosive encounter.

Golden -- Bad vibes. In the midst of protecting LC, he took the opportunity to go after me for behavior that makes no sense if I'm bad. I think he knows that, and saw an opportunity to capitalize. That's exactly what I was looking for from someone, and Golden ended up being the culprit. When I prodded him to tell me what he thinks I might be doing as a baddie, he had nothing. He even insinuates that he doesn't have to have anything. That's not a good look.

Black Rock -- it's limited content, but I dig it. For someone in her position being so new to a big thread and seeing me acting like a lunatic -- I think her reaction smelled genuine.

Sorsha -- I dunno. My video had little to do with this maneuver, I'm not sure why she thought otherwise.

motel room -- Feel mostly decent. He already distrusted me and generally always does. Him thinking I was playing purely to a WIFOM gambit reads genuine to me.

~~~

The most important thing is this I think: I enacted this strategy while under zero pressure personally. I had no need to escape any manner of pressure or redirect attention -- I just came up with an idea and went for it.

I legitimately felt as though the first lynch which I was indeed wrong about was practical, The dude contradicted himself with regard to the RVS that he was talking about which was really confusing. I didn't feel that any of the other candidates at that time had any real case against them. Though, I also have no idea if that is currently true, as II said I will need to go back and begin reading which I will start on shortly.

Important Announcement:

I'm not sure if this is a statement against me, for me, or neither, but I guess it's true.

#1480

So it turns out the guy who seemed like scum was scum and the meta arguments about him were a bunch of bullshit.

#metaisbullshit

I really love this result. There is so much to work with.

So at my work I just ran a competition to give $500 to a lucky participant in one of our surveys and it turned out to be a customer who just moved in to a new rental (I work for a real estate agency) who was broke af, is a single mum of 4 and whose daughter's birthday it is tomorrow. And we pulled her out of a hat. Fucking awesome.

#1483

This is one hell of an elaborate baddie move, the kind of stuff I dream about doing while I anticipate getting my role card at the beginning of a game. By doing something that has no visible scum motivation and pulling the rug from everyone's feet while simultaneously bussing an expendable teammate who was willing to take one for the team to focus on his own game anyway, you solidify the majority of the civilians' strong town read of you because you sensed that, eventually, people were going to start seconding my opinion of your alignment. It might not have happened until the very end but it would've happened eventually, and now it won't. Bravo.

#1484

But don't let your guard down because I'm still going to be watching you like a hawk until one of us is posting like this.

#1485

Whoops!

Host error.

Change coming now. Sorry folks.

I like how you default to Scum Mastermind before any other explanation. I'm flattered you think that much of me.

The truth is: I'm on vacation, I'm having a good time, I'm letting that translate into my mafia play. Haters exit left.

Woot day 3.

#1490

Sorry for the confusion, everyone. I wasn't taking Memories Can't Wait's power into account for some reason.

Night 2 PMs and poll votes are all null. Please cast your votes by the deadline on the poll. We can adjust the deadline for Night 3. I'll edit the Day 2 host post now to reflect the correct change.

How would you rate Talking Heads Mafia (RYM #90)?
