Hmm but when his real turn came up, Iron_Dwarf was still available and yet he chose Marmot.

what does that tell you?

Almost seems like a slip-up and then a course correction, pointing potentially toward his and Iron_Dwarf's guilt and Marmot's innocence. But that'd be one hell of a slip-up.

I'll probably turn the position down if Rico doesn't pay me enough tbh. I can have better offers.

Crime does pay, eh?

You’re causing inflation upon the cool points market

I offer in return some Hot Points to people who can give me an engaging conversation. On topic about the game of course

What are your reads on the four players you told Epignosis you'd recruit to the mafia team as the Don?

Whom did I say?

JJJ Dunya Mac cbob?

I’m pretty sure I covered them in my catchup post.

They’re all still fairly town but I will only say I have unwavering trust towards dunya as a town. JJJ gives me paranoia and Mac is someone who I can see as both, but I like what Mac actually says as opposed to Jay who more so is in a lot of these headbutt battles.

And cbob hadn’t procced anything on my radar and could warrant an ISO if so desired

sprityo, you have assembled a heck of a mafia team there. Do you feel your list was a real representation of don sprityo's choices or are they leaning more towards a "Fantasy Mafia" draft? Just a very short, honest, to the point answer would do. Real / Fantasy. Can be one word answer.

(someone needs to start a Fantasy Mafia btw. Fantasy Football is good, Fantasy Mafia, betting on our own players, would be epic)

I am by no means ethical or smart, so yes I would’ve picked these people because I’m different. But someone who is actually planning probably wouldn’t pick all 4 these people

You’re answer: real, but in my terms

If Iron_Dwarf had been drafted earlier, I wouldn't have flinched. The fact that Marmot and Iron_Dwarf were the last 2 and he switched to Marmot the second time around makes me feel iffy, but I'm not sure who I should be feeling iffy about out in all of that.

It's generally proper to feel iffy about the perpetrator of the switch before the ones who were switched.

JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Wed Feb 14, 2018 12:55 pm Fun facts:

To my knowledge, the highest post count ever achieved in a Syndicate game by a mafia-aligned player was MacDougall's 940+ (discounting post-game content) in the 2015 GOC. He survived all 11.5 cycles of that game, averaging about 80 posts per cycle. Keep in mind also that this game had two mafia teams, meaning Mac was able to genuinely hunt.

The civilian record belongs to Richochet at about 1,470 in the same game. There's also my 1,450 in Talking Heads (14.5 cycles).

If dunya's present pace were to be cut in half and sustained as such from this point forward through 11.5 cycles, she would amass nearly 3,300 posts. She would significantly more than triple the record for mafia-aligned posts and double the record for civilian-aligned posts.

Simple question: within which alignment is that easier to accomplish? If you tell me there is no difference, I will tell you that you fundamentally don't understand Mafia.

I have a question for you, Jay.

Would you said your activity in this game also falls under the same category of "extremely high civ activity" that you keep referring to?

Yeah, I'm surpassing my own record-setting Talking Heads pace so far. It's harder to notice with dunya blowing me out of the water, but I am at a high activity rate even by my own standards. She is kicking my ass, and I'm kicking third place's ass.

I'm not going to make the same claims for credit for my own sake though. Nobody ever listens to that.

Kylemii wrote: ↑Wed Feb 14, 2018 3:04 pm I think Epi's statistics just sorta.... solidified things we already knew. We already knew that Dunya and jay would be on a lot of lists because they're prolific players in both of the communities this game is built out of. That doesn't mean we should ignore our actual reads on those players, the don might have kept in mind that Jay or Dunya being well known and popular would make them quick targets for attention (and powers) and avoided them. Likewise, a player who no one picked hypothetically isn't gauranteed to not have been picked, since the don might have taken that exact thing into account.

It's a guide book, not an instruction pamphlet. The statistics can inform our choices but they should never determine them.

Maybe we knew, but I didn't think of the correlation between being on lists and likehood of being bad.

61 pages. .. oh m y gosh

huh.... RIP rabbit, even though you never appeared so much for the pegasus triangle I guess :\

someone ex plain to me why rabbit keeps getting killed.

If this was intentional, I hate to say it but it makes nutella look better because the pegasus triangle would have been a mafia weapon too and she is a member who has alliance with Long Con, so strategically rabbit8 wouldn't have been the choice for night 1? Or she did that to win points so that we don't go after her Day 2.

Unless killing him is some kind of running gag on here considering he's dying early in every game.

Or there was some misdirect shenanigans involved? I have to look at all roles again to verify.

Sig--did you target anyone tonight?

Also my addition to the story is very much in tune with my backstory so there's clues in those flavour texts. Will be rereading past ones later.

[mention]Jackofhearts2005[/mention] - Can you run a whatever poll please with day 2 end time at least.

Welcome back. Don't read all 60 pages. Pick a few pages at random and reply to anything that catches your eye. Go.

Summary: day 1 was a lynch tie between nutella and Quin which EPIGNOSIS stopped with a 1 time lynch stop.

EPIGNOSIS posted survey results - you should read that post at least - and called me/JJJ out as potential scum and gave Town cred to Kites, Kenway and Iron_Dwarf.

There was drama with Epi/Colin

Check out Dr. White's ISO and tell JJJ how you feel about him.

I think that's all.

I've seen scum struggle to insert themselves into a game. What dunya is doing is the opposite of that. Thoughts?

You promote into a better class when you reach level 10. Lower level just means you promote late.
