I feel the opposite. Colin looks town to me and Mac less so.
I've heard your take on Mac, even though you seemed to think his response to your "why sprityo" question was reasonable, but what makes you feel good about Colin?

Colin voiced trepidation about Jay and his supatownieness that I feel similarly, but couldn't state so clearly.

So yes, I think Colin is town for speaking my mind.

Should we assume gender is binary for the sake of this game?

Also, y'all already know my gender.

I'm one of the cavaliers in the Night 0 story. I had a very important role to play.

Notice me Senpai!

What?

[mention]Long Con[/mention] Whether you are from Goodguyia, Allyia, or Badguyia is irrelevant to your alignment.

The mafia are all most definitely from Badguyia per their backstories, but they are also given fake backstories from another region.

Keep those lists coming people.

I think Epignosis and Long Con are teammates.

I agree with dunya, what Long Con did can be faked by a lot of people, and especially by him. I wouldn't call him a civilian based on that.

Puhleeeeeeeeeease. If anyone can feign ignorance, it's Long Con. He specifically told me himself in another game we were playing when I said no one would do that and he was like me, I would do that.
He expressed the exact same thing I was thinking myself. I'm a civilian.

He is just lazy and asked it in the thread.

He's a civilian.
Literally everyone has thought that though. We discussed it quite thoroughly itt even when we first noticed it. I don't believe his damsel in distress "help a guy understand something" is alignment indicative.

Epignosis didn't read the thread because it didn't suit him.

Who are your teammates, mafia don?

I already answered your question.

I haven't seen any suspicions voiced from you yet Epignosis.

Do you still feel the same way you did when you made this post?

Hey hey. Hubba hubba. How you doin?

You lookin' fine and furry this evening Jay.

Obscure observation about Epignosis.

Epignosis requested mafia-teammate lists from Dr. White and myself, players who were active in the thread who had not (as far as Epignosis knew) posted such lists.

Epignosis did not make such a request from Long Con.

The level of activity in this game is high. People want to win.

I like it!

But I still want to know where you at [mention]DrWilgy[/mention] .

JaggedJimmyJay is scum. Lynch him.

So what if I'm wrong. It's Day 1 bruthah!!!

sorry? is it suddenly my job to keep track of what day things happened on? I don't have a job rn, everything just sorta blends together, I thought the day phase started yesterday.

I thought Day 1 started yesterday. We've been in day 0 so long that it might as well have. Saturday - Tuesday would be 72 hours.

Does this seem like a really important focal point to you?

I was yanking your chain. I guess I didn't convey that very well.

Your average, ordinary, run of the mill town game is Talking Heads.

Oh dear god, I will never attempt to repeat that performance. That game nearly killed me.

Not.... reeeeally. Recruitment Mafia 4 was played here, and it is similar in that the game starts with only the 4 faction leaders having roles, and the rest of the players get recruited and powered up as the game progresses. As I recall, the Recruitment Mafia series was not unfamiliar with the idea of "playing the player" and guessing who certain players would be likely to recruit.

If Epi wanted to lynch players that come up the most, hen his own name might just be near the top of that lynch list.

But in this game, the mafia team is completely full at Day 1.

You could just pretend it was not a draft and proceed accordingly.

Considering your current suspicion level, this post looks like a deflect.

No suspicion of sprityo. Sprityo had not posted since your recent GTH scumlist. His name here doesn't make any sense to me.

Why sprityo?
Weak from Marmot. "Looks like a deflect". Not really. And Mac hadn't avoided the suspicions up to that point. It looks more like trying to get some other talk going.

Actually, in contrast to Mac "deflecting", this looks more like Marmot trying to hold the conversation on Mac... like, "let's keep drilling him for everything he does".

What do you think of the manner of Mac doing this. What use is it to state that someone is the mafia don as a topic of discussion?

My thinking was this: BaddieMac is taking heat, and so injected a bit of WIFOM into the thread with no pretense regarding sprityo. CivvieMac... may have done the same thing, but I don't see an obvious reason for the manner of doing so.

But I backed off when Mac explained himself. What do you think about that?

I like Long Con's recent posts.

I was just about to post something along these lines. That would be beeeeautiful! Something a player could call on as an auto-post in the thread... OR a tally that hangs above the thread like a poll!
FWIW on the boardgamegeek forum (never played there, just creeped a bit for ideas), they have a pretty snazzy bot that handles their tallying. Just as a reference for anybody curious.

It really all depends on whether we stick with the Poll method we've always done or not. I'd also like to adjust the polls to properly track the order votes, and that would be a resolution.

What's the other 3% like?

one end of night and one day phase replacement, also, I wasn't lynched. I was MISLYNCHED. Rub it in, mouse. Rub it in.

[mention]Jackofhearts2005[/mention] does the mafia automatically get a nightkill?

Per this post from Epignosis here. Colin took a staunch opposition of Epignosis's strategy. Epignosis dissected his complaints and voted for him.

In a world where Epignosis is a civilian and Colin is mafia, why would Colin choose to oppose this?

You guys seriously posted 10 more pages in the last 4 hours??

Idk what MacDougall is doing. He won't respond, and the idea he could be buddying me crossed my mind.

This would require you being a civilian, no?

Back in my day I faked being the most powerful town player as scum (town cop). Nothing is too difficult to fake.

I've seen you bite hard on WIFOM when you're scum. :3

nah bro I legitimately don't get why he's suspicious. like what is the baddie motive for his argument here
"I think I found something that I can criticize and maybe mislynch."

It's a pretty ordinary motive. Colin doesn't know Epignosis.

If Colin is scum, someone on his team probably knows Epignosis.

because there's no baddie motive that makes sense for what either of them are doing. (and because I have town read both of them for other reasons)

I agree with the hazelnutspread.

Actually I disagree.

Epignosis could easily have impure reasons for his actions.
