STAR WARS Mafia [ENDGAME]

Nope, just noticed that. To me, you pretty much just confirmed that you didn't really poison Dom ergo you are Hutt.

Dom think about this. Wilgy says that he didn't cure you to ensure he'd stay alive. Now he's saying that he can ensure you're cured if you two vote together. How does that make sense? He made the decision to leave you poisoned and is now trying to buddy you. What has changed? Are we supposed to believe that he now believes I am bad and you are good so is siding with you? If he is truly Tusken what would it matter to him? Killing you today is still the best move for him to ensure he lives if you are "poisoned". As a Tusken he can survive alongside any of the scum teams, so why would he need to ensure your death to ensure he survives today? He could have cured you if he was a Tusken.

Who has the night kill tonight? Hutt? Surviving today is very important to Wilgy for some reason? Maybe so he can get to his NK?

But, he just outed himself as a Hutt by doing that. Voting anyone but Dom as a Tusken who has him poisoned just doesn't make a lick of sense from a survival standpoint. Especially for someone who has been apparently ambivalent all game.

He didn't really poison you Dom. You're fine to just vote with him and get me lynched. Matt too, you can finally vote me if you want. Should be pretty obvious to any remaining non scum elements that I am not bad at this point...

Is it the latter or the former? This post is horseshit.

How could you, as a player with a survival wincon, not think about voting for the player most likely to ensure your survival?

There's no way Dom is poisoned. I bet I never was either. Admit it.

#4855

Admit it, I have you by the microdick.

#4856

Also, I still think we need to lynch Matt to ensure the game is over, but Wilgy literally just made that impossible in that scenario. So Wilgy, if Matt and Dom are Empire together it's over. They've won. Neither of them can get lynched now because Dom isn't really poisoned.

#4857

Game "isn't" over.

#4858

MacDougall wrote:Also, fuck right off, there was no circumstances where I would have voted for Niju. I never even entertained the thought. I didn't have to because when I woke up I read the cured PM before I even read your suggestion. But I would never have. I am as close to 100% certain of Russ and Niju as I could ever be.

I want Matt lynched still. If you can figure out a way to do that, please do it.

If you are too panicked and freaked out from a solitary vote to see the reality of the situation that's your problem.

I believe Dom, and Matt are going to try to angle their vote onto you Wilgy. I believe this was their plan all along. It's important that you and the Jawas get your vote onto the same player. If you truly have poisoned Dom, all that means is that you need to vote him and the Jawas just have to not vote for you. If they are both Empire and one doesn't get lynched today they will win. It has to be one of them who goes.

I have no desire to vote Wilgy today because I am not looking to die.

This is so flawed in so many ways, and one of the reasons why I am so frustrated.
Your post count is not indicative of your alignment. Calling me a low poster is rather desperate. Your posts tend to also be six in a row for no reason. So take this garbage somewhere else.

#4859

Huh? Yes it is hahaha. It is very indicative of my alignment.

Also I didn't call you a low poster? You have the second most posts in the game. I wasn't pointing that out as an indictment against others, I was pointing it out for lulz. Chill the fuck out Dom.

#4860

It's odd. You do have me, but not in the way that you think.

You got me when you aggrivated me. I reckless voted and tossed out a damn near 100% survival. I guess my annoyances with you being all over the place (and the fact that there is a death star in play that will most likely rng away any chances of survival) just made me want to vote you more than I cared about winning.

At this point I just don't understand how you could go from this post

MacDougall wrote:I'm still not cured Wilgy. So now I will get lynched today unless everybody votes the same way against another player. Seems pretty fucked that you just somehow didn't cure me.

And defending me to this.

Mac, do you still think you are the last civilian? I recall you saying something along those lines.

For the lulz, but it makes you a civ?
Don't tell me what to do. Don't tell me how to play.

#4862

The correlation I have noticed is that your civility levels towards me are directly proportionate to how suspicious I am of you. As long as you are being left alone everything is fine between us, but when I am suspicious of you you start attacking my playstyle, talking about how much you hate playing this game, calling my posts garbage and generally demeaning what is a genuine and significant effort, and you are not apologetic at all when I get annoyed by it. I have apologised to you.

I'd like you to stop to consider how your criticism has made me feel. It's personally insulting and hurts, but if that's your intention then fine.

Everything was all fine until my civ read of you disappeared (due entirely to deduction, nothing you actually did, because you are playing well) and lo and behold out comes the "I'm frustrated etc." again. You didn't seem frustrated at all when I had a civ read on you. You did the same thing to MP too, but I believe that to be contrived. You guys were distancing one another.

The other game we played together, you did the same thing, you turned out to be bad and won the game surviving as a bad guy. Your tactic is to be a jerk to anyone who suspects you so they leave you alone. That's fine, it's your play style. But if your play style revolves around being a jerk to win games, you have no right to complain about anybody's style at all.

Gee Wilgy, I just don't know anymore. Maybe I just suck.

I am pretty sure I am. One of Dom and Matt might be, but I doubt it.

#4865

Also Mac, I am pretty sure that we are all well aware of you being able to shitpost plenty of times regardless of alignment. See my sig for reference :P

We shouldn't fight like this regardless of in game standings

let's all make dirty jokes instead!

#4867

Anyway to explain it Wilgy. I don't want to see you lynched today but I do think you are the Hutt. You being lynched today is not going to help anyone but Empire as they will get your kill.

I came around to thinking you were a Hutt because I believe I figured out Crumb's role, with a little help from Zebra leaving a Crumb crumb that made me think that these PMs you're sending are just pranks and not real poisoning. You are the most likely Crumb left. If we only have one Empire left then I'm happy to see you lynched because I think we can defeat them from here.

We clearly still have Jawas left (there are still machines being sold) and Russ and Niju are outwardly aligned now and nobody else is questioning them ie. nobody else is a Jawa. They are obviously Jawas.

We have at least 1 Hutt and 1 Empire left. We only have 2 confirmed dead Empire, so it's possible we have 2 though Zebra seemed sure that Llama was Empire. I don't think she was right, I think that Llama just ignored a PM from Crumb (another reason I believe Crumb has the ability to send BS PMs, as well as Golden's claims that he received a PM pretending to be from me) because he figured it was a lie rather than not acting on the fact that he was told that MP was bad. I think that was unfortunate.

Zebra pretty much left behind in legacy that the Hutts had the ability to send people PMs by virtue of revealing that she knew that Llama was told MP was bad. Dom has recevied a poison PM from you, I did, Golden received a different one and evidently Llama did too. So I think Crumb's amusement is in sending people fake messages, and you revealed it to be you with your gambit by putting your name in it and soft claiming (and not rejecting when it was pointed out to you) that you are a Tusken.

Seeing as though I know I am a civilian, that leaves 3 players to fit into 2 or 3 scum roles.

You made an insinuation that a high post count denotes a civilian. This is silly in itself, but you also make the insinuation that everyone else has not posted enough to meet the standard. TBH, that's garbage. 192 posts is not something to be ashamed of and neither is 32 or whatever the number was. Your incessant focus on this is insulting to me.

I don't think I've been overly aggressive or gnarly, but okay.

I feel like you have time, and time again tried to shame me and others for not posting enough, and thus, not being civs. I have repeated myself on this matter. If you are insulted by this, I do apologize, but I have offered to open a dialogue with you through the MoD several times, and I have not gotten a response in this vein.

Sigh.

I don't believe I have been incessant about the point. I don't think it's fair to use words like incessant and time and time again to describe it, nor have I tried to shame anybody. If anything I am ashamed of my own numbers of posts. I also believe having nearly 900 posts in a game when nobody else has 200 is funny which was my reason for posting. But yes, it is indicative of my alignment because for days I have felt like there has been coasting scum teams and have been trying very hard, feeling like I was the only one actually trying to win for the rebellion. Hell we have Bubbles flip civ so I think it's a fair point?

That's all about me, and is why I have so many posts. It is no indictment on others and has nothing to do with them. If you feel like I've been trying to do that, I haven't, and I apologise for making you feel that way.

I do believe some bad guys struggle to produce content compared to civilians, but it's certainly not a hard and fast rule and some players are capable of high levels of content when bad (I am, Golden, Zebra, MP, you (eg. Reborn) and many more). I know that some aren't. In TH my teammates were Bullz, Russ and Wilgy and were the 3 lowest posters in the game towards end game. I know that some players are always low posters no matter alignment. I've never said otherwise.

But, the numbers right now are just so big that it was interesting to me, so I posted it. It's like the first time I've harped on the point in at least 2 real world weeks and even back then I wasn't formulating my whole strategy around it. Matt as recent as yesterday was still talking about lynching low posters. I don't think anyone here is bad for being a low poster. In fact nobody actually is one. The Jawas having few posts makes perfect sense. I think my numbers making me civ is a more poignant point.

I received a message through the mod once, I sent back an apology. It was about saying you play like an asshole. That's the only thing I've heard.

...

And Wilgy if somehow you are actually a Tusken then I can promise you that Dom is bad. If you are not, he simply must be and so must Matt. So you leaving him poisoned is gonna kill a bad guy as long as one of us don't get a ton of votes right now. Dom reckons he's not gonna vote for you. So he'll have to vote for me if he wants to survive your poison right? Matt will probably vote for me in that case. That'd put me 3-1 ahead. Would he still get lynched Wilgy? Has he been poisoned long enough?

At this point, I suppose I would call upon Russ and Niju to vote for Dom which is unfortunate because he'll probably call it a no u or something.

#4871

Mac let me put it this way:
You don't know as much as you think you know, if you are civ. It would be a serious misstep to lynch me.

Mac, there is a big fault in your theory. You are using what Zebra gave you. Confirmed Hutt. Even if Crumb had the ability to forge PM's, everyone (especially hutts) knew about my poison pretty early on. Should I just stop using my power at night because of this? It's my only tool to clear myself. Zebra gave you WIFOM.

Is there any chance of your opinion changing Mac? Or are you sold on me being a Hutt?

Another thought. If Zebra was my teamate and revealed that I was sending fake messages, would I continue doing the same thing if I had any other choice? Dom's response to my night action shows consistency Mac.

I think at this point Dom is 1 ahead if he votes for you.

#4873

Well one or both of those previous posts were lies. Either that or Russ and Niju have fooled us. My vote is where it is and...

I am going off to a music festival for the next 36 hours so I will probably not be posting, or at best rarely.

Best of luck everybody. I think anyone who wins from here on in has earned it. Enjoy playing a Mac free day and a half!

DrWilgy is Hutt and I am voting for him.

Lol

Dude actually, I have thought that there were possibly two different force voters with different conditions. That's why I keep goin' back and forth on you. However, your argument with Dom is feeling fake to me.

Oh, and you are...um once again...wrong about my role. But snap would that be a cool power! Whattaya say, DH/Epig? Gimme somethin' to do over here!

Btw your signature is hilarious, Mac. Even funnier if your "fight" with Dom is on the up and up.

I'm not sure who to vote for. Wilgy, Dom - I admit I've been effin' busy as shit and I wouldn't even know where to begin to look, but do you two agree with Mac that Russ and Niju are good to go? If you two agree, I'm down with keeping the lynch candidates to myself, Mac, and the two of you. If you don't agree, then speak up.

Just rereading my post, and noticed this, and thought "Wow, someone might see this and say 'Did Matt just admit to being one of the force voters?'

#4878

I have no reason or want for you to vote Niju or Russ at this point, so I suppose I agree. :P

#4879

Well I'm voting now before I forget yet again. I believe at least that Mac is civ, if not necessarily that he's right about everything. So since he and Wilgy are the only ones with votes and I don't wanna spread it too much, my vote goes to Wilgy.

Happy new year (soon) everyone!

I can only hope not, and anyone who is looking for a civ victory shouldn't.

I did some thinking, If I'm killed here I can't cure Dom, meaning he will die to the lynch tomorrow.
~I die -> NK on Mac or Matt -> Dom gets lynched regardless of anything -> Empire NK on last remaining non-neutral... The only variable is Dom's alignment I suppose.
~ Mac Dies -> Possible NK on anyone, Dom is cured -> and then we have an open game state.
~ Dom Dies -> Possible NK on anyone -> open game state.
~ DEATH STAR and all this is pointless.

I hope that this reason is persuasive enough. Along with the fact that I'm pretty sure Mac was still lying about his cured status, I think Dom should be able to believe that much as well.

Episode XXVIII: You Didn't Have to Stoop Solo

After the destruction of the planet Endor, the Rebel Alliance was in terrible shape. Their leader Mon Mothma was presumed dead along with anyone on the planet at the time of its demise, and there was no one left to fill the role of leadership she left behind. With no clear direction, the remaining Rebels turned from a single, coordinated force into a scattered collection of guerilla fighters, each with different methods and goals for the resistance. All across the galaxy these sects were being wiped out systematically by an emboldened Empire. Galactic support swelled for the Empire once planetary leadership realized the capabilities of the new super weapon. In more ways than one, Endor marked the beginning of the end of the conflict throughout the galaxy.

Hoth, a long-time stronghold of the Rebel Alliance, seemed to be their last great holdout. Using the harsh conditions of the planet and their already established facilities there, a select group of Mothma loyalists were able to reorganize and mount an offensive against the Empire, engaging them in a series of bloody conflicts on the snowy surface. The rumor was that Grand Moff Tarkin and the Emperor had ordered that the superweapon Death Star not be used on Hoth, insisting that a decisive victory by Imperial troops was necessary for morale and that the facilities on Hoth would provide valuable aid in tracking down and eliminating any remaining rebels.

Imperial high command was also quite interested to learn how such an organized remnant of the rebel force was able to maintain itself in the harsh climate of Hoth. Their apparent access to necessary resources raised a critical question: Who was leading this resurgence? And so for these reasons, and perhaps some that were far above any Trooper’s pay grade, Hoth was spared the fate of Endor, and the battle for control of the planet was waged. Unfortunately, the rebels holding out on Hoth proved much more resilient than anyone could have anticipated. It was quickly becoming a concern of whether the intelligence offered by taking the planet was worth the long, drawn out campaign that was beginning to unfold.

Once more, The Syndicate was called in to finish the job. They took a shuttle down to the planet’s surface and were briefed on any information concerning a bunker that was believed to be the main operations base for the rebels. Their objective was to breach the base via an unsecured maintenance shaft and slay any rebels inside. Their secondary objective was to arrest the person in charge of the base, given the codename “Runner” by imperial intelligence for their apparent ability to quickly transport resources to the planet without being detected.

As they were approaching the infiltration point however, one of the Syndicate operatives noticed something odd. The cold wind carried the shouting of several voices, and a crowd could be seen at the entrance of the bunker. Aces gave the signal for the team to stop, and he observed the scene quietly through the scope of his blaster. The crowd seemed to be arguing violently about a single person in particular. This person was in the center of the argument and looked from Ace’s perspective to be bound by the hands and gagged. Curious, Aces ordered the Syndicate to take tactical positions and watch his back while he approached to negotiate.

“Hands where I can see ‘em, rebel scum!” He shouted, raising his blaster and simultaneously noticing that no one in the crowd of Rebels appeared armed. They complied after another inaudible spout of arguing, and seemed to almost toss the bound prisoner in front of them.

“He’s the one you want.” One of the rebels replied, pointing at the silent, brooding prisoner. “We surrender, please let us live.”

Apparently the rebel forces on Hoth were less confident in their ability to hold out against Imperial invasion than they originally appeared. As Aces learned by interviewing some of the surrendering rebels, a small but vocal group had agreed to turn over their new leader in exchange for leniency, preferring whatever fate the Empire had in store for them over being blown up or freezing to death. Aces and the other members of the Syndicate assured the cooperating rebels that they would be treated fairly, before massacring them inside the bunker and taking their leader into custody as they’d been ordered to do.

MacDogall took a handful of popcorn and tossed it into his mouth before contorting his face into a grimace and spitting it back up into Dr Wigly’s face.

“What the fuck is that Wigly? You call this popcorn? Screw you guys I’m going to join DharmaHelper.”

“What was that last part?” asked Matt.

“I said I’m going to bed.” MacDougall replied before slipping out the door quite briskly

MacDougall has been lynched
