Mafia: A World Asunder - GAME THREAD [Day 13]

[Sloonei]

sig's vote was on DharmaHelper. No one else voted for DharmaHelper. Sig came on near the end of the day to shrug at every single case that existed. Sig then left. Sig is now blasting others for lynching wilgy.

My vote was on Kylemii as a lone lyncher. Am I scum?

Maybe. You weren’t here at the end of day though.

[colonialbob]

Told you wiggly was good also WE NEED TO STOP WITH CFD SHIT!!!!!!
It rarely helps town and had basically resulted in two civs dead.

We need to lynch sab shes mafia or a baddie no way around that.
She's also newer to TS and have played on other sites correct? If those sites allow infoduming which I'm sure they do then she's probably very skilled at deflecting info that plus peoples bias to infodunping here is why shes still alive and we lynched a civ.

Oh so you're saying we were on mafia before the CFDs? Interesting.

Your sabie reasoning is trash

And I think his Sabie reasoning is pretty good. Something strange there as far as the old lady goes and her actions re: Wilgy don’t help her case one bit.

"She's probably very skilled at deflecting because she played elsewhere" is absolutely terrible justification

Like, show me how's she's deflecting and maybe you have a case. Asserting it's true because of reasoning that turned out to be completely wrong seems like maybe the kind of thing you shouldn't agree with

[ColinIsCool]

Sig is such a common mislynch that we were able to frame him twice in Retrocausality. Not gonna fall for that one without better arguments.

[colonialbob]

And this isn't me defending sabie because I've had my own reasons for suspecting her. But this feels crazy manufactured.

I believe that Sig believed that when he said it, I don’t need to agree with it.

As far as deflecting, I wouldn’t call it that per se but I think her approach to Wilgy has been inconsistent and has changed at particularly revealing times (when she was facing a lynch / when Wilgy flipped good).

[Sloonei]

I still don’t care about this. If I find him suspicious in this game, I’m going to pursue it.

Did Sprit manufacture it with the old lady stuff?

You should then take caution to recognize where your suspicions have led towns in the past.

[ColinIsCool]

I feel a kinship to Sig because nobody ever gets what the fuck we’re talking about and it always gets us in trouble. If he is scum then, oops, but I feel fine about him so far and this firing squad that’s been assembled against him feels unreasonable (dare I say ... manufactured?)

So far we’ve lynched none of my suspects.

[MacDougall]

This is civ on civ if ever I have seen it

[colonialbob]

"firing squad assembled against him" I guess you mean Sloonei and myself saying "yuck" and "bad reasoning"?

K.

[sabie12]

I have a concert to go to tonight so I won't really be here.

[MacDougall]

Given Sloonei is posting at a frequency of 10 players it's probably fair to say.

(this was going to be a picture of heavy weapons guy shooting lots of bullets as a joke about Sloonei's posting frequency but then I found this and it's amazing)

[Sloonei]

TBH I think our votes should he weighted by the number of posts we make each phase.

There's a series on the Realms that's fairly roleplay intensive and has had XP mechanics based on post count several times. It's interesting.

We would make the best decision JaggedJimmyJay could come up with.

[colonialbob]

Everyone has been looking at this game through the same one or two viewpoints.

I come in, offer another viewpoint, and what do I get? Persecution.

Y'all just aren't ready for the truths that I'm spitting.

Yeah I guess you might be right about Turnip Head not being Mafia and nutella being. That's an interesting theory. I'd like to sign up to your newsletter.

you fallacious ballerina, you've been spinning around the facts this whole game.

BUT

YOUR DANCING SHOES ARE BREAKING OPEN!

NO MORE TIPTOEING AROUND THE TRUTH, MAC!

So my cat, Franki, recently came down with a pretty severe stomach virus. The vet gave me some anti biotic drops to put in his food but when I’d do that Franki wouldn’t touch it. So, the vet suggested using a small dropper tube to insert the medicine directly into his anus. The first time was absolute hell, my cat fought me the whole time but once the tube was in and the medicine pushed out he seemed to calm quite a bit. Well the next day he was acting strange, he has always been an independent cat, rarely coming around, never wanting to be held, but as I sat on the couch he started walking back and forth meowing and rubbing my leg. He then went and jumped up on the table where we’d done the application the night before and meowed louder and louder until I decided I guess we will go ahead and do the medicine treatment. This time he didn’t fight me though, and when I inserted the tube he closed his eyes, stretched his neck, and let out a noise that can only be described as a moan of pure ecstasy. Maybe the medicine made him feel better, I supposed. That night he slept on my bed curled up right next to me, which he had never done before. For the next week he’d do the same thing every day, meow on the table until he got his ‘fix’... But then the medicine ran out. Even though I had no medicine he’d still cry and beg for it, I thought maybe if I insert it without medicine he will realize it doesn’t make him feel better anymore and forget about it. Well that was 2 weeks ago and he is only getting worse. He walks around me all day with his tail up presenting his rectum and trying to entice me. He is demanding insertions more and more often. Yesterday I caught him looking longingly at the turkey baster... When I sit he jumps in my lap purring and rubbing me affectionately. It was then in horror I realized my cat thinks I’m his gay lover, and that I’ve been sexually pleasing him for weeks now. Needless to say the sexual tension between us is palpable. How do I let my cat know that I’m not gay, but still like him as a friend?

Likewise.

Only I'm performing in the concert.



Thankfully I am nearly up to date.

Please don't create fifteen pages in the next four hours.

Let's do just that

[LoRab]

Also not caught up all the way, but I dont want to lynch Mac, though i do think a sloonie lynch is becoming more viable.

Basically with the town leaders/high speed civs we need this strategy if they keep leading us wrong we need them gone. This is true fpr epi, mac, and sloonie. Since rhe longer they're alive and the more mislynches they led the more likely it is they're mafia

Wtf we have 30 people and I'm assuming something like 12-14 are civ, lynching 2 civs the first 2 days is always the most likely outcome.

Also I'm still reading but I don't see sloonei driving a wilgy train at all so far. Mac correctly called the wilgy lynch as Garbo, iirc Epi wasn't a fan either.

EBWOP 12-14 aren't civ

I was assuming 15 civ and 15 bad/indy/neutral. Mainly because that was how the last World game started.

[insertnamehere]

Welp, it appears I embarrassed myself a tad last night, and said some things I twasn't supposed to.

I'm not in a baddie chatroom. I'm not 100% sure of the information I posted, but I felt it was important that the thread know about it.

It looks like my game is already completely torpedoed, but I'll keep fighting until the music plays.

[insertnamehere]

Sig is such a common mislynch that we were able to frame him twice in Retrocausality. Not gonna fall for that one without better arguments.

So, you have a meta defense of yourself that you expect everyone else to take seriously, but you yourself disregard other people's meta defenses?

[LoRab]

Can we, btw, talk about the fact that novaselinever has not shown up at all...

[DharmaHelper]

We could.

Tbf I didnt help myself in that game. Buuuut it was very very fun.

I just hope the mafia in the chat have stopped laughing at you.

What the hell?

"Town leader?" "High Speed Civ?"

I have been mired in pages upon pages of reading and haven't done anything in any way that could be construed as leadership.

[Epignosis]

All caught up. Praise the Lord.

[Sloonei]

All caught up. Praise the Lord.

Sorry it took so long

[Epignosis]

I woke up in the middle of the night and found myself about to be CFD'd so I made another last minute push for Wilgy. As I said before Wilgy could be the Hollow Man so I'm not necessarily wrong. On my square there's an item i found called the Mirror of Truth which told me he might be bad.

I don't believe this.

The Mirror of Truth told you Wilgy might be bad?

I hope you saved the receipt. It sounds like you got the Mirror of Possibilities, which is about as useful as the Condom of Mesh.

To be more explicit re Tranq, I would be amazed if baddie Tranq would say such a dumb thing in seriousness, joke or not. He is insanely careful. I don't recall ever seeing bad Tranq lynched. Maybe @juliets would have a better idea of that, and I am sure he will correct me if I am wrong there.

I am never comfortable in a game until certain people slip into place. That remark went far towards making me feel better about Tranq, but not good enough to greenlight him.

How careful would Tranq be after waking up in the middle of the night and seeing that he was about to get lynched?

I don't know. Living in Europe I have seen him getting up in the night to post or check in, but I honestly thought he was making a snarky remark with his Wilgy is bad post. So when he came in earlier and said he was serious, I did know.

I don't recall him ever getting lynched bad. But I guess there is a first time for everything. I

[S~V~S]

That "did"up there ending the first paragraph should be "don't" sorry phone typing.

I don't know Tranq as well, so when I first read that, I rolled my eyes. Your explanation, though, does not sound unreasonable.

However, the issue now is that Tranq was not merely making fun of the information issue- he claims he found an item that gave him information (?) on Wilgy. I don't believe his story, but I also don't see the reason for him to make up something after you basically answered for him (i.e., he could have said, "I was being facetious").

[Epignosis]

(I realize you acknowledged that in your post, but I'm trying to lay out my own thinking as clearly as possible)

[Epignosis]

INH can be lynched or not be lynched. That's how he almost always is for me this early, and nothing has changed. If pressed, I lean toward "lynch."

I know.

I was so sure of it I just lol-ed at it and wouldn't even have bothered explaining had Mac not questioned it. I think if Trans actually found something on the map he would not info drop even if everyone else was doing it. So I am struggling with that a bit myself. It makes no sense if he wasn't joking.

[LoRab]

Was it in the last World game that someone blatantly made up an item? Or was that recruitment maybe? I think it was a Rock Con game....also don't remember who it was. Anyone?

[S~V~S]

MP made up a scroll in Sword of Truth but that was years ago on the Piano. Someone else may have done it more recently.

[ColinIsCool]

I found the Locket of Disappointment last night.

Inside, there’s just a picture of me.

[Epignosis]

I started by quoting, but I don't know if that's necessary. People know how to Control-F (or whatever you off Apple types do).

Tranq has 38 posts. 11 of them are about Wilgy. I will admit that his posts do look like they would come from a guy who is sitting on something and trying to get more mileage out of that thing. Others should weigh in.

Nope. That was exactly what I was thinking of. Thank you for having a better memory than I have!!!!

[Long Con]

A Sad Night For The Realm

"Our next target should be just up ahead," said shadowy figure #1. "I think I can see some movement through the trees." The two of them slunk forward stealthily.

"You're crazy," said the other, "That's just one of the Spirit Wrangler's pets. Fool." He turned away to continue the search.

"No!" he grabbed his partner's arm. "Look again, simpleton!" They peered out, and recognized the solemn countenance before them.

#2's jaw dropped. "It's really him? The legend..."

#1 nodded. "That's him. I guess he's too dangerous to keep around for the big plan. And yeah, we have the magicks needed to do the job."

"Killin' the spirit of a statue," mused #2. "You never really know where life is gonna take you, do ya?"

#1 nodded again. "Stick around, my friend. If this plan goes through, there'll be plenty more surprises!"

#2 said, "Nah, let's go get a drink instead."

* * * * *

juliets walked alone, clothed, as always, in an aura of kindness and care. And clothes - I mean, she had clothes as well. Not just an aura. She left everyone she met feeling better than they had before.

When she heard the angry growl from the shadowy bushes, she was not afraid. "Here boy," she held out a hand. "I won't hurt you, I'm-"

She was cut off as the creature leapt forward and kicked both feet into juliets' chest, knocking her to her back and slamming down on top of her. "You don't fool ME!" snarled the creature, slashing at juliets' throat with sharp claws.

Many cute forest creatures showed up to mourn juliets' death, for the Realm had lost a beautiful asset, a true beacon of goodness.

DharmaHelper hasn't been killed. He's the Spirit of the Living Statue, still Independent. Lock up your daughters, he's here and ready to rock and roll!

juliets has been killed. She was the Gentle Shepherd, a member of the Jagged Blade.

Day 3 has begun. I will be sending out night and movement PMs over the next couple of hours.

I think I'll lock the thread while I do that. Go relax a bit, friends.
