Community Mafia [GAME OVER]

[VOTE: Epignosis] aubergine

[JaggedJimmyJay]

I find myself always answering the same things over and over until people listen to me like in world asunder with that crazy lady in the woods. Gah that was so annoying

I'll just make it clear now in case it wasn't already that I want you to play the game however you want to play it. I'm not here to dictate your play. I will certainly prod you for reads, ask you questions, and if I see fit throw accusations at you. I will do that to anyone, because it is necessary for the game to function. You are sabie12 though, and I am perfectly happy when you play like sabie12.

That itself would describe some of the suspicion I have had of you to this point. I'm concerned you have been too concerned with appeasing [what you perceive to be] the wants and demands of other players to alleviate their suspicions of you (instead of focusing on your own effort to figure out who is bad however you might be inclined to do it).

I think you sound pretty genuine right now.

[Dragon D. Luffy]

Wouldn't be the first time Epignosis shat on somebody's attempt at detailed gamesolving, tbh.

[Dragon D. Luffy]

I mean, in this game.

[Epignosis]

What was the vote tally like when Colin voted?

Epignosis wants to know all about the votes when it comes to Colin. When DDL takes interest in the votes though, it's this:

I started making a lynch analysis on the Cbob lynch but I realized dunya and Colin voted for him without saying anything. This analysis is impossible now. Who was the 2nd voter? Who was the 3rd? Who knows.

Call your votes, people.

No you didn't.

What were you going to work out of who voted Cbob when?

[~insert vote tracking content here~]

Who cares?

WWJD?

[JaggedJimmyJay]

WWJD?

What I would do is place a vote for Epignosis.

[Dragon D. Luffy]

Btw guys

Turns out I have a crapload of money and I'm too old to spend it, so if anyone has used ability shots that you would like to use again, I can literally buy more shots for you. Let me know and if I don't think you are too scummy I might help.

Is that a "yes I need it" or just a humorous reply to my post?

Epi's review of bob's posts:

Dumbass called himself out with this.

Yes, I know that's not technically true, but it's still funny.

It's not technically meaningful either.

I feel like I don't have enough time to sort all of the Mac/jjj/epi stuff out right now except I doubt epi/Mac w/w.

I'm a civilian. Mac is a civilian. Good job, good effort.

There was no reason given for this. All this does is give him license to go after me or Mac if either one of us dies.

It's so stupid that you need a license to do things in this country.

Epi's insight here is that he is a civilian, along with the guy everyone is calling that anyway (Mac). That's nothing.

Are you saying J is hiding behind mechanics talk?

+1 DDL civilianoso

This didn't last. Immediately after I voiced suspicion of DDL, Epi jumped on my back for a piggy | back | ride.

This is a mild ping but also might just be a result of her role-playing rather than her normal posting style. Usually I would expect a lot of waffly stuff (not in a bad way) but this is short and doesn't mention anything about any of those players.

I would encourage sabie12 to do a little more talking about specific people (while keeping up the good RP )

The mention tags are still a disgrace and still mess things up for me.

sabie is bad. The-end. Move along.

bob said one thing about sabie, and that's enough to satisfy Epi on his read. Meh.

[JaggedJimmyJay]

What were you going to work out of who voted Cbob when?

[~insert vote tracking here~]

Who cares?

Even discounting the hypocrisy I referenced earlier, these two questions are asinine. "Who cares" about who voted for the confirmed mafioso and when? What?

[Dragon D. Luffy]

Is that a "yes I need it" or just a humorous reply to my post?

Ok it's a night ability, you should get them eventually.

[Dragon D. Luffy]

I just realized I might be baiting a roleblock but hey if they wanna block my weaksauce support role be my guest.

[JaggedJimmyJay]

I want to hear opinions on Epignosis immediately. This phase is over in 5.5 hours, people.

[JaggedJimmyJay]

I’m about to be in the car for 2.5 of those hours. This thread had better not be a cadaver when I return. Let’s go, the game is far from over.

[Dragon D. Luffy]

I personally don't think his refusal to interfere is yesterday's lynch is sign of civviness. If anything a baddie might prefer to stay the hell away from it.

I'm not really huge on suspecting Epi though, I'm just not registering other people's civ reads of him.

[Epignosis]

I think he really admires your Associate's degree.

Idk why I let it bother me so much. Troy just wants to fit in with you guys and be a part of your study group.

Eh I don't like how he immediately clung to my post about him and took it as I must be bad and continues to stick with it and give me a hard time. I wasn't actually planning on voting him before but eh he's seeming more sketchy now. And he didn't seem to care about dunya being killed off.

Any kind of statement saying you were disappointed she got killed off. You used her being killed off as more reason to suspect me.
Also it looks like you're the only one Bob said was civ.

[sabie12]

Voting epi at the moment I'll check back in later. I have to go do dinner with the parents.

Gosh, I forgot to make a statement saying how disappointed I was dunya got killed? I do that so often, I can't believe I forgot this time!

I'll fix my mistake! Here:

The PA system clicks on, capturing the full attention of the room as an impromptu announcement commences:

Good morning, Greendale Community College.

First, our cafeteria would like to announce a change in the menu: Instead of garden-style pizza, the cafeteria will be serving meatloaf surprise today and Monday as well.

In unrelated news, our department of reptile and amphibian studies has been closed due to budget cuts and alleged sanitary miscues.

Moving on, there have been some concerns raised about tracking down the so-called "dunya-removers," and rightfully so, as we Greendale Human Beings care about human beings very much. One suggestion raised to root out the culprits is trustfall exercises.

Trustfall exercises? Really? What even are those? Did God do trustfall exercises before Lucifer fell? If so, that would have been awkward.

We have a list of names here that may be involved in this nasty bit of dunya-removal.

We'll start with ColinisCool. The very first class he took here was "Crapping on Mac: 101," which...well, grades are confidential, but everybody remembers the instructor telling Colin how his crapping on mac looked like crap. The next thing on his schedule was calling colonialbob a bad person because he had used a smiley face. This accusation was made on a Wednesday around two-thirty in the afternoon. Greendale is aware of only one minor instance of colonialbob using a face icon, which isn't sufficient enough to be any kind of "tell." The juxtaposition of posts #801 and #337 is funny. After this, Colin voted dunya for Class President (as colonialbob would later do), and he tried taking "Crapping on Mac: 101" again to improve his GPA, but again found little success. The dean's analysis of Colin's activity vis-à-vis colonialbob was made with kid gloves and without consideration regarding how Colin figured he would look coming out of the first day here at Greendale.

On an unrelated note, if you're going to ride the bus, you have to get on board completely. You can't ride the bus with one leg on the road. Well, you could, but it isn't recommended if you wish to maintain your credibility or your eligibility for spring athletics.

Next up is DFaraday and his eleven posts. Like ColinisCool, DFaraday took "Crapping on Mac: 101," but he appeared to have dropped the class when he discovered someone had tampered with his water bottle. We at Greendale think it's prudent to leave such persons around, as they will either prove especially helpful or fall victim to an even more upsetting accident occurring through no fault of their own.

Epignosis has left his cowboy hat and thong in the mail room again. Please pick up these belongings as soon as it is convenient. With that out of the way, let's talk about him. He's arrogant, rude, and sometimes insufferable, but does that make him a bad person? It has been brought up that colonialbob is the only individual Epignosis didn't interact with at all. In our experience, people in cahoots make at least some kind of effort to communicate publicly with their conspirators. If recent memory serves, Epignosis made a disaster of the ice cream social when he kept insisting on nutella-flavored ice cream with sprityo toppings when all anyone had to offer was vanilla. Despite how embarrassing that was, We think it is a huge point in Epignosis' favor that he had no interactions with colonialbob. We can't endorse him being kicked off campus.

JaggedJimmyJay's interactions with colonialbob are messy, and we at Greendale know that messy means things are getting done! Usually. There are a few times we don't talk about. Overall, the exchanges look natural, not unlike the Hawthorne Bean Dip you can buy in our gift shop. We have a hard time viewing him as a dunya-remover. With that said, we believe his efforts are wasteful, given how he has spent most of today obsessing over Epignosis, who is not in any way related to a Dalmatian. The two should be working together. Now kiss.

With the existence of a godfather or forger or whatever the kids are calling it these days, there are two avenues a sensible group of conspirators could take. The first, and most common, is to protect what is likely their most valuable player and let him gum up the works. This did not happen, because the MVP was taken under the bleachers and beaten with a bag of shredded Chevy Chase resumes, and therefore no works were gummed up. That's good. The second avenue is to make sufficient copies of the bus schedule, which you could then give out to unsuspecting Greendale commuters and make them think highly of you from now until the Cougarton Abbey reunion (which is to say, always). Enter MacDougall. The key question to ask yourselves, Greendale student body, is whether you believe MacDougall called out colonialbob from almost the very beginning and didn't take his foot off the pedal (figuratively speaking), knowing exactly what would happen. If the campus climate will be one of complete respect and admiration for someone who "dropped one" on the "godfather" slash "forger," then it makes complete sense for the team to make this gambit. Was it a gambit though? We think we know the answer to this, but we'd like it to at least be discussed in the interest of thoroughness. Survey your peers. Go on. You won't look weird. Promise.

novaselinenever is the name on this list that we don't have an opinion on one way or another. We really don't know what to do with him. Kick him? Punch him? Kickpunch him? You decide.

Quin, on the other hand, looks genuine. Yes, genuine. "Genuquin" is not a word, nor is it a clever portmanteau. His response to dunya's eyes of death (which we never want to see again) was casual, carefree, and without care. Quin is not high up on the totem pole (can we even say "totem pole" anymore?) of good folk, but he's at least on there, probably serving as one of the lower, more familiar spirit animals, like the newt or the hobo.

reywaS has eighteen posts. While we at Greendale would like to remind the student body that it's important to be active and on top of things, we do recognize that sometimes people get behind, and getting behind provides less of an incentive to get ahead. That's probably a paradox or something. reywaS did not cast a vote although he indicated an intention to vote for colonialbob. reywaS also confessed that he was behind, but also did not shake his fist at the most likely reason he was behind. Instead, he approved of it. reywaS is the mosquito on Quin's left ear, or the right one if the left one has been vandalized.

We know the announcements are not always cool, but we thank you all, Greendale, for forging ahead with us, if we may be so bold as to make a delightful pun, and hearing everything we have to say. There's only one more name on our list: sabie12. sabie12 has transferred from Mr. Bigglesworth Community College. The problem is that her transcript contains courses that we don't know if they will transfer satisfactorily or not. sabie12, could you please report to the main office and show us any experience you have on the unrighteous side of life? From what we can tell, having reviewed your thirty-two credit hours, you look uncomfortable here at Greendale, as though you have received a bad grade for the first time ever in your academic career, and you don't know how to work with it. You have a deer-in-the-headlights look about you. An enthusiastic deer-in-the-headlights, sure, but you look lost, lost in the sense that you don't know how to proceed given how uncomfortable you are with the new, menacing friends you have made (like colonialbob). As of right now, we do not feel confident in your ability to fit in with the other well-meaning students here, and that you might even be a danger to them. We look forward to hearing from you.

This is all we have time for, Greendale Community College. Be a human being!

One last thing: Whoever scribbled "We should lynch the public address system" on the wall of the faculty restroom should come forth at once, apologize, remove the graffiti, and reevaluate their life choices.

[JaggedJimmyJay]

No mention of DDL in that announcement, but it also doesn't look like him (and bears too much familiarity of the theme for a guy who said he's seen three episodes).

The timing suggests Epignosis. I am being thrown by sentence fragments though.

[JaggedJimmyJay]

Such an ability cannot be given automatic civilian status in a closed setup. I will grant though that its utility is more obvious for a civilian than for a mafioso.

[JaggedJimmyJay]

I want to hear opinions on Epignosis immediately. This phase is over in 5.5 hours, people.

Who were you planning on voting for before?

[Epignosis]

I've seen zero episodes of this show, though.

[JaggedJimmyJay]

[JaggedJimmyJay]

I'm moving my vote because I believe that announcement is Epignosis. The reads suggest it too (particularly the read on Epignosis). If that thing was someone else, you need to speak up.

I searched your posts for anything related to rey. You didn't like his Day 1 read on me (that he didn't buy me as a civilian despite apparent differences in my play). Is that it?

He stinks. His comment about you was awful. I don't think he was trying to figure you out or expressing genuine concern, but rather shading you. Some damn good poo throwing. Then there's his post about Mac's lynch and how he might switch to bob. I'm still not sure what he meant by "chaos" and he ended up not voting.

There is also nothing to like.

[novaselinenever]

It's not about the differences in your play. I gave him that. It's about him using only 1 game for comparison. That's bullshit.

[novaselinenever]

He's taking advantage of it which makes it obvious that he doesn't really care about figuring out. Just using it to throw some shade.

[JaggedJimmyJay]

Sure. [VOTE: reywaS] aubergine

[mention]reywaS[/mention], answer to these accusations and/or find the mafia.
