I don't recall many people hitting me up on this regarding Jack and the Day 2 no lynch.

If the theory is that Jack enjoyed the support of the Sutter Buttes, what is the point of projecting his own survival aloud as he did? He was tied in the tally with Sloonei, and had the latter kicked the bucket it would have looked like the work of a coin flip anyway.

Unless someone persuades me elsewhere, my vote is staying on Dom. I think speedchuck is cool (even if he's disappointing my wife), Long Con is an asshole toward me (which probably means he's good), and Jack is voting in self-preservation.

As much as I despise having no flips, I'm also going to be a hypocrite real quick.

Dom is indeed a no-info lynch. He doesn't provide much help to figuring out the strong anti-alignments we have going on in the thread. Yet, I don't feel like we're starving for info, and I think the mafia kill (if it ever goes through) will be informative.

Dom is the way to go, guys. Let's make this game all about info and less about absent speculation.

I think you've consistently read me as bad while he's gone back and forth. Assuming you're teammates trying to get me lynched, having one who can push on me and one who can be 'convinced' isn't a bad idea if the day lends itself to that direction. Turns out today hasn't really.

Eh. Fair enough. I just read "push" as in putting on pressure, and I really haven't done much about your read. I'll definitely ISO you before I cast a vote in a real lynch train on you.
I'm glad that the lynch didn't go your way tonight because I'm tired and don't want to ISO you. Gnight.

This makes you a suspect for me. For real.

The deadline isn't in five seconds. I didn't ask you if Dom is a good five-second candidate. I asked you if he's a good lynch. Your response was nothing more than a way to put your vote on him at the end if that's how things worked out.

Before this, you just talk. You just...take a dump on the thread with stuff about "meta-reads:"

JaggedJimmyJay wrote: Tue Nov 21, 2017 10:31 pm speedchuck was willing to engage suspects pointedly, and he cut down his suspect pool with transparent civilian reads (or at least pledges not to lynch). I also like the tone he exhibited in his handling of the Epi/LC feud. Good vibes.
You reference the pirate game to give a meta based read on sig, but what about speedchuck's general aura in the beginning of pirates game when he was throwing up statistics and reads? Yet one of those gave you good vibes and the other bad vibes. :ponder:
Meta reads have their place, but they are usually not ideal as a sole means of drawing reads. There's an application for them with low-content players who haven't provided the material necessary to assess them in preferable ways, i.e. thorough analysis, tone reads, or face value judgments of civilian utility. At the time I answered that prompt, I think sig had like five or six posts. For me, that's not often enough to develop an intuition. I'm willing to draw a read from the tabletop crumbs when I must, and often that's a time for a meta read to have some value. When there's more content available, as there was with speedchuck in that moment, then a purely meta read means less to me. It can still be a *component*, but it's going to move me less than my intuited reception of content at face value.
This is all discussing Mafia, but not this Mafia.

He admits to making up a reason to accuse epi of being bad. This ia what mafia have to do to look like they are scum-hunting.

Long Con admitted to an underlying assumption in his accusation of Epignosis, but not to "making up a reason". The latter notion is silly.

Elohcin wrote: Tue Nov 21, 2017 2:42 pm I still feel like you were voting epi for a nonsense reason which is what mafia will do.

There's a disparity between vagueness and confidence here that doesn't work for me.

I try to be different every game to keep people guessing but they still mostly guess I'm bad😋. Even though I think her posts are genuine thus far, that doesn't excuse her from veing bad imo. She may very well be.

Disclaimer is yuck.

Rainbow list looks almost randomized. Questions are addressed | in a limited capacity. The methodology is discussed, but not really the specific reads on specific players.

Yall expect too much out of me but you see....he doesn't even expect me to read the thread. Lets find some middle ground here. Anyway... sloonei probably thinks I'm an easy target. He knows that when I'm accused I tend to shut down and give up rather than fight.

Is this a thing that Sloonei knows?

Elohcin wrote: Fri Nov 24, 2017 11:18 am My thoughts exactly! But...at least there hace been no night kills on top of the no lynches. Its like having a VERY long Day 1. But I think it's about time we get this party started and killing some bad guys. Hopefully I can catch up by the time day starts again.

This one is just a bit yikes at face value.

I'll offer this as a counter-example wherein the tone reads more sincerely. I appreciate anyone making and effort to dip their toes into the analytic realm. Elohcin, what inspired (hi Quin) you to give this a try this time?


VultureGate -- the subject of a lengthy exchange between Elohcin and Jack. Elohcin later clarified that her focus here was on LC's desire to lynch Epignosis. That doesn't mesh with the "I agree with this" given in response to DDL's initial vultures comment, which referred to some undefined plural set of players.

So I am ruling that possibility out completely from understanding what's been happening in the night phases. Is there a lurker/inactive amidst the scum team--more than likely. Are three users inactive? No.
This is so simple and makes so much sense. One of you talkers are definitely scum.

I don't think this follows from dunya's point unless a "talker" is defined to be literally anyone who has talked. The implication seems to be more in the direction of high-activity contributors. The confidence of this acceptance must also inherently hinge upon dunya being a civilian, which would be striking given the doubts expressed not long prior.

No, but really, I don't know what he'd be like as scum. If he's leading, and leading well, mafia will probably kill him and take care of things for us. If they start killing other leaders and JJJ takes control of the game, wipe him.
This is gross. All it is is an invitation for JJJ-less mafia to burn a lynch. Gross.
Yeah, shoot. Mafia ain't gonna take him out now. They know if they don't, you eventually will! I don't think this was a wise posy to make if you are civ, chuck.

I'd be up for a dunya lynch. I keep having this nagging voice in the back of my head that says, "She's bad, Tasha. B. A. D." But part of me feels bad because she does aeem to be really on top of things and very helpful, especially for a replacement.

We're back to a willingness to lynch dunya. Changing one's mind is fine, but I don't see a clear progression here.

Dom is indeed a no-info lynch. He doesn't provide much help to figuring out the strong anti-alignments we have going on in the thread. Yet, I don't feel like we're starving for info, and I think the mafia kill (if it ever goes through) will be informative.

Dom is the way to go, guys. Let's make this game all about info and less about absent speculation.

linki: welcome aboard Kyle
I'm so glad you and Kyle are voicing mild objection to the Dom lynch. I always want to point out "but we learn nothing from an inactive lynch" but fear I'll look bad if they flip bad. If a scummer fools me into thinking they are good, I can explain that. If I mislynch a fellow townie, I can explain that. If I "defend" a baddie but they never said anything? There's no excuse. But I feel the need to weigh in on game theory and strategy, feel the need to say a Dom flip teach us nothing even as I vote Dom and home Dom gets lynched. Maddening.

Additionally, I'm glad for a really productive several days with lots of antialignments. This is a strong example I can point Realmsers to of all that can be done on "Day 1." The more reads and antialignments turn out to be correct, the better.

*hope Dom gets lynched

Confession: On the Realms, if you edit a post within about 30 seconds of making it, it doesn't show the post as edited. I correct typos constantly this way at the risk of modkill. I think Bob caught me doing it once.

Oh. J^3. Got it.

Yes. I would lynch him. Hence my vote at this hour. I think he is doing busy work, not real work. His token look into Eloh doesn't help my opinion. She is always exhibiting the characteristics he is "penciling in" as bad (inconsistent, no clear progression). It doesn't help me work out who is bad. It looks like busy work.

This makes you a suspect for me. For real.

The deadline isn't in five seconds. I didn't ask you if Dom is a good five-second candidate. I asked you if he's a good lynch. Your response was nothing more than a way to put your vote on him at the end if that's how things worked out.
The dude has two posts. I've said often that I think a focus on the low-poster end of the spectrum would be a good idea, and he fits within that paradigm. I have nothing else to say about Dom. I would lynch Dom before Jack if that's where the tally rests when the time runs out. Discussion on more substantive suspicions prior to that moment may net a more inspired (hi Quin) option.

The lack of a clear progression was one thing I brought up, specifically re: the dunya read. Do you think the concerns about face-value sincerity I discussed also reflect the Elohcin norm?

She's sick and doesn't know her head from her arse.

What troubles me most about you is that you act like Eloh is going to get Dunya lynched by lacking a "clear progression." How is she going to accomplish that?

To put it another way, what is her M.O. as mafia in this scenario? You looked at all her posts. What is her strategy? How does she help her team (who hasn't killed anybody, by the way)?

Your analysis looks like a weak means of being relevant to me. It isn't at all persuasive.

CFD to a suspect with other suspects with antialignments who then flips scum. So that's probably you or Speed.

More realistically, best case scenario I can actually hope for is Dom hangs and flips bad.

The causal link you draw here does not reflect the point I want to make. I don't think Elohcin would be intent to try to get dunya lynch "by lacking a clear progression". That doesn't make sense. Indeed, the goal of getting dunya lynched would be secondary to the goal of looking like a player who is trying to solve the game. My concern is that Elohcin is in pursuit of appearances, not some long-game mafia-aligned objective or strategy. It's the most fundamental face value read there is. Players who are mafia-aligned in a game with only one mafia team want to look the part, and sometimes they struggle to do so.

I find Epi's case on Jimmy to be intriguing. I don't think I'll follow it today but Epi and Eloh come out looking better than JJJ in all their recent interactions.

When's the last time Jimmy was bad?

Give me a mafia game with you in it. Otherwise I can't metaread, and 'misrepresentation' or whatever it is you're doing isn't inherently scummy.

What troubles me most about you is that you act like Eloh is going to get Dunya lynched by lacking a "clear progression." How is she going to accomplish that?

To put it another way, what is her M.O. as mafia in this scenario? You looked at all her posts. What is her strategy? How does she help her team (who hasn't killed anybody, by the way)?

Your analysis looks like a weak means of being relevant to me. It isn't at all persuasive.
The causal link you draw here does not reflect the point I want to make. I don't think Elohcin would be intent to try to get dunya lynch "by lacking a clear progression". That doesn't make sense. Indeed, the goal of getting dunya lynched would be secondary to the goal of looking like a player who is trying to solve the game. My concern is that Elohcin is in pursuit of appearances, not some long-game mafia-aligned objective or strategy. It's the most fundamental face value read there is. Players who are mafia-aligned in a game with only one mafia team want to look the part, and sometimes they struggle to do so.
That's a fair take, although one I don't agree with.

Do you think Eloh is trying to look like she's trying to solve anything?

Yes apologies, I did this in the car and my phone was nearly dead so I was waiting until I got home to say anything about it. I am now home. I feel like I keep flipping back and forth on some people. My difficulty is sometimes when another player passionately tries to argue something that just seems so out there to me, I have trouble deciding if I think they are bad or just seeing things differently than I am. Especially when the way I see it has been laid out clearly (either by me or in some cases by other people as well). That is the difficulty I am having with Jack, Quin, and even sig to a lesser extent. It's why I feel like I keep flipping back and forth on them.

As far as Eloh, if I took what she said alone I would probably think she was bad. But as Epi pointed out, most of the things that would be baddie tells for other people are just how Eloh plays. Until we start getting some info and we can evaluate how she has interacted with others, I am not sure I could say for certain where I fall on her.

I'm not above voting an inactive player. I really think this is a discussion that should be had outside the confines of a game sometime, because I think "the maths" support lynching inactives when you don't have a firm lead taking you elsewhere. This is why my vote is currently on Dom. Despite everything we have had go on in these first two cycles, we have no solid information and we have been talking in circles around every little thing for so long that I feel like my reads are getting super muddy in my mind. So I am ok with voting out Dom who has done nothing at all.

Linki @ Epi: I'm not afraid of lynching Jay. My belief in his town alignment is starting to wane a bit.

Yes. She has compiled quite a few posts to this point, and the content therein in thicker than one might expect without checking. It isn't all confusion and catch-up frustration.

I think you're basically describing town Eloh behavior and calling it a case for her badness. Epi calls you out.

Epi is also taking note of the Jack/Dunya square off in a way that doesn't look opportunistic. Feels way different from ME Epi, which is the last bad Epi I can remember. So that makes him look better.

Epi also characterizes your posts as easy analysis or analysis that leads nowhere. I could see the gth excercise that way as well.

I don't have one solid reason to be voting for him at the moment, but a few loose and scattered things that have been bugging me. One that I've noted on a couple of occasions is that a number of his reads have not felt sincere to me (I noted his Day 1 nutella read). This one is primarily a tone issue and not something I can easily substantiate. There's also the issue of whether or not we believe his attitude with regards to Day 2's failed lynch, but that again is not something that can be substantiated.

I've had a change of heart. I'm trying to get caught up on things right now. I don't feel like I have a single solid read at the moment. I almost want to vote for Jay.

To be clear, though, I still met townread Jimmy. Will have to check his baddie game posts. I don't know if I've ever played with bad Jimmy.
