@INH

You got any tells?

@Eloh

Why do you always look bad? How do I find good Eloh?

[Jackofhearts2005]

I don't mind the messaging but I look better in red than green.

If I'm bad, imma call this the Roman strategy.

[Elohcin]

LOL. That makes so much more sense now. Why do you suspect him?

Here's why:

As long as we keep up with the thread, the unchangeable votes shouldn't be a problem. If you need to take notes as to who is suspecting who throughout the day, then do so. I don't think we need to assifn a specific emoji to that. What if I want to use that emoji for fun?

It might help for searching the thread to check vote patterns. It just might be good to come up with a way to do that.

The hedging language here (might, just might) tells me he isn't really invested in his own idea. If TonyStarkPrime were serious about finding a useful way to track votes in the thread, he wouldn't suggest one idea, get thwarted by Eloh, and then just say "It just might be good to come up with a way to do that." He is talking about how to track something that doesn't matter, since even when votes can be changed, it isn't like we can see who voted for whom when.

"But Epi, you don't know TonyStarkPrime! What if this is how he normally is?"

Spoiler: show

I don't care.

"But Epi, didn't he die Day 1 in Pokemon? Wouldn't it be cruel to lynch him Day 1 here?"

Spoiler: show

See above.

Ooh. Forgot about how the polls worked. (In case my language gets misconstrued again, forgot here means "I neglected to consider") Back on my home site we do the whole "vote in bold in-post" thing, so I typically play with a pretty trackable record and that influences how I play. Even here it would be easier to check in on the thread, look at votes, and have an idea where we stand, and if I recall correctly from Mass Effect, we would mark votes with orange so we would have that record. I assume that is more or less a standard thing.

I don't quite understand the whole hedging thing. I had an idea, someone said "I don't like that idea" and then I said "well maybe there is another way". Which to me would suggest that I'm still invested in the general idea. The word "might" is more of a "I'm not going to force an idea through if people don't want it" than a "well, I don't really care about what I'm saying".

I actually like this response to Epi. I think if someone grasps onto this "reason" for why Tony may be mafia, they should be looked at more closely as maybe being mafia themselves.
@jack - do you really believe epi believes his theory or donyou think he made it up to see who would latch onto it? I'm thinking the latter.

In reply to Tony. Why doesn't my suggestion work?
Read thread. Take notes on who voted for whom or who suggested voting for whom at what time. Read over notes before voting.
This seems like a fine solution and you don't have to scroll through the thread over and over.


Lorab, who is FEB based on?

I'm going to post this and keep reading. I know his annoys some. Don't like my style, oh well.

[Elohcin]

I am good at reading: Dom, LC, Nut, Speed

I can kinda read: Doc, Golden, Tony

I always scum read: DF, Eloh

I'm not so great at reading: Epi, Sprityo, INH, Never

I've never/barely played with: Boom, Made, Rico, Lorab, Timmer

So anybody from the bolded lists I suppose. Back and forthing on my new SL, Sprityo. I'll let his reactions determine how much free pass he gets.

Linki: I miss Marmot.

So in other words, you're going to vote for someone based on your weaknesses? I think you may have my vote.

[LoRab]

I don't mind the messaging but I look better in red than green.

If I'm bad, imma call this the Roman strategy.

Well, since red means that you are dead, then.....

And I'm now wondering when green became our community's off topic color. I know it was before Supermarket on LP, but I can't remember how long before. Or why green.

Lorab, who is FEB based on?

Diamond Dog. It doesn't actually look anything like him, except the goatee. And the fact that the dude is evil (when he plays mafia).

[Elohcin]

Neverwhere is a female but I can be a man for the syndicate if it makes things easier on you all.

Day 1 sucks. Someone ping me, quick.

This is awesome. Poor neverwhere.

@INH

You got any tells?

@Eloh

Why do you always look bad? How do I find good Eloh?

Maybe because I'm actually really good IRL, my bad self comes out on The Syndicate. IDK.

[Jackofhearts2005]

@Eloh

Re: Epi



(@INH. You've ruined my ability to post pictures from mobile. Autocorrect: "Img? You mean INH, right?")

My strategy for dealing with Epi is primarily to poke him with a stick until one of us dies or we both win. I haven't figured out his alignment using this strategy but I still tend to win and haven't come up with any better ideas.

I'm not really one for pretending to think things when I'm good so, have a drink.

But seriously. What's your town strategy? What's the best way to read you. I haven't figured it out.

Strategically, if I am town and there are four other players (1 scum) and I know how to read three of them but it's early, lynching the one I can't read is best strategy. (Applies to inactives, too.) Yeah, it's my weakness but I'm owning it and giving you the chance to get around it.

Are you declining because you do things I think look bad or because you're really bad?

Linki: As for you being good in real life, I thought you were a republican. *ducks*

[insertnamehere]

@INH

You got any tells?

In all honesty, I enjoy being mafia more. I find it more engaging to deceive than to investigate. So, if I look like I'm having a large amount of fun from a game, I'm most likely not a run-of-the-mill civilian.

I can't wait for this to be quoted in future cases against me.

[Jackofhearts2005]

@INH lol that's me when I'm about to win as a baddie. "Throw me the idol."


@Lorab

Meant my name. Ambassadors on hiatus. K. But red matches Gil better than green is all I'm saying.

[speedchuck]

I've so far had reverse pings from Made, LoRab and Tony. If no one ever looks suspicious I'll vote amongst the people who haven't given me reasons to get town pings from them. I'd give this a fancy name but I don't want to make anyone upset

Hello yes this is town.

And now for my most detailed D1 gutreads ever:

Boomslang -
Dom -
DFaraday -
Dr Wilgy -
Elohcin -
Epignosis -
Golden -

Jackofhearts2005 -
Long Con -
Lorab -
Made -

nutella -
Ricochet -
speedchuck -
sprityo -
timmer -

But I always read Epi as .

[Jackofhearts2005]

Is Made Canadian?

Gtth, who do you wanna lynch, Speed. I trust you an inch atm, which is certainly an amount of distance.

[speedchuck]

Is Made Canadian?

Canadian? IDK, I only remember one post from Made and the question they asked reminded me of the blah blah blah smiley face. It was worded weird, and I want a reply.


It's D1, so I'm not comfortable with lynching anybody, but if I had to vote right now, I might would send it at Wilgy, Rico, INH, or Sprit, for mostly inconsequential reasons. I'm not feeling great about Epi either, but I've scumread him in every game we've been in together.

[Neverwhere]

Neverwhere is a female but I can be a man for the syndicate if it makes things easier on you all.

hehe! It happened in Pokemon too. I must give off the vibes.

This is you officially off my vote list for this evening

Probably cause he's bad at finding scum and is also grumpy. *ducks*

<This is what Canadians look like in South Park. Ike is an adopted brother from Canada and the name of the smiley.

I've never watched South Park, sooooo...

#uncultured

Still gonna use that face for Made

If you look for it, you'll find I already have a smiley.

[Jackofhearts2005]

More like a frowney, eh?

[Neverwhere]

I got a snuggle. Woop.

[Jackofhearts2005]

MM w/ Never.

Somebody ping me, damnit.

[LoRab]

I don't even know what the smiley you used for me means, lol.

@Lorab

That makes WAY more sense.

MM ?

[Jackofhearts2005]

MM ?

Mind meld. We thinking the same thing.

Correctly used, it would be when you put forth some reads and voice what I was thinking but hadn't said.

The irony.

[speedchuck]

I don't even know what the smiley you used for me means, lol.

It means you have a decent amount of content and none of it makes me think you're town. Which makes me uneasy.

But for D1, my reads are all as ill-defined as that, so the smilies sum them up pretty good.

Fascinating stuff. Thanks for the explanation

[Neverwhere]

Damn it, I gots to throw down a vote before bed. I'll start with the note taking tomorrow. Someone say something I dislike and give me a reason to vote pls. Pretty pls?

[speedchuck]

Hey, Boomslang is around! Get in here, Boomslang!

[Jackofhearts2005]

Damn it, I gots to throw down a vote before bed. I'll start with the note taking tomorrow. Someone say something I dislike and give me a reason to vote pls. Pretty pls?

I heard Sprityo say he hates puppies once.

that may be excusable. Puppies pee on everything.

Nobody can say something you dislike if you keep thinking the best of them like this. GET MAD! PEOPLE ARE THE WORST! ALL STUPIDITY CAN BE EXPLAINED BY SARCASM AND MALICE!

How to Be Mean 101

Teach me your ways.

[speedchuck]

I'm not good at it either. I'm really bad at D1 because I feel like everyone should get a chance to play the game.

On the upside, even a random lynch in this game has over 1/3 chance of hitting non-town. If the 3P is non-town.

That's very true. There is a lot of non town in this game.

I agree I always feel bad the first couple of days for people that barely get off the ground.

All this banter isn't helping. I like you all, I trust none of you.

[Golden]

I still can't actually vote in the poll, which may make my day one vote moot. Hopefully I can vote in thread.

Speedhuck - why you say my quote is town and then give a blank face as my smiley. Surely the comment about me being town was either you leaning town or you being sarc and leaning away from town, it's odd you would say that and end up blank on me?

Hello yes this is town.

It was a joke. I was giving you a town ping. "Hello? Yes, this is dog town."

I hate explaining jokes. Ugh.
I don't really feel bad about you, though. Not even in a eeeehhh no reason to think Golden is town way. Just a "Hey, Golden exists. Maybe scum? Possible, but more likely nah."

[speedchuck]

Also:

[Golden]

Well, now that you've gone and pointed that out, I might have to continue butchering your name for the rest of the game. It's out of my control.

[Elohcin]

I may be being picky in this but I have to vote and it has to go on someone. I don't like the whole smiley chart that chuck laid out for us. Above you see his explanation to Lorab about her specific smiley. But why not just say that in the post. It's day 1. Why not get real. Day 0 is behind us and we are supposed to get a little more serious now. If he were civ, I think he would have given a small description as well so we knew exactly how he felt. Instead he remained vague with smiles. Sorry chuck, but at this moment, I think there is a better possibility of you being bad this game than any other player. I must vote. And you're it.

[Elohcin]

Seems I cannot vote. Anyone else having this problem?

Do you see the inconsistency here? I mean, I obviously disagree with your vote, and your reasoning, but even in your very post, you say numerous times:
"I have to be picky and vote even though there's not much to go on. I gotta pick somebody."
And then you say "Why not get serious?"

That's why I'm not getting all that serious. For the same reason that you keep excusing yourself.

And I'm not sure what the scum motive would be to post a smiley list. Vague-ness is something I'm more prone to do as town anyway.

[speedchuck]

Seems I cannot vote. Anyone else having this problem?

I think if you click "View results" then that counts as your vote, and it locks you out of voting. I'm in the same position.

That's a serious bug.

Let's say we all vote in bold just in case. Let the mod figure it out.

I'm between Sprit and Eloh at this point.

[nijuukyugou]

Hello, listeners!

So apparently some wonky things are happening with the new poll system where, indeed, just checking the current votes makes you unable to vote. While we work to resolve this issue for future polls, please vote in the thread for Day 1 by bolding and underlining the name of your chosen victim candidate victim. Alternatively, you may send your vote by carrier pigeon or hawk; just make sure either method is completed by the deadline listed on the poll.

[Elohcin]

Why me jack?

And yeah... I did click on the view results button. I did that in Pokemon too and only had to refresh the page to be able to vote.

And chuck, I am getting serious. I think if your still playing around near the end of day 1, it may be some kind of defence mwchanism to get people to look the other way.

[Elohcin]

speedchuck

I sent a carrier pigeon as well, dear host, but I feared it may not get there in time, so I figured a thread vote may be good.

[Elohcin]

Margarita time!!!!??

[Golden]

I hope Timmer knows it's game on.

I'm currently mulling over a few people. Boomslang. Rico-omeletteaufromage. Dom. Sprityo. Jack. Why should I not vote you folks.

[Jackofhearts2005]

Cause I am entertaining and if you're good, there's one less person you gotta get on your side cause I'll just know.

[Jackofhearts2005]

Why Boomslang? Why Dom?

[Golden]

Why Boomslang? Why Dom?

Why not?
