1) It's effective for content generation.
2) This notion of "I have a suspicion, everyone else should tell me what it is" strikes me as an atypical means for a mafioso to either smear or distance.
Catching up, but I wanna post right away on this - I thought this was a cool way to engage the thread. Kudos, Quin, did you make that up for this game?

I was checking to see if others could observe the same thing without bias, actually. But..yes?

why did daisy drop to orange?
I found something unnatural about how she brought up sig when asking Jack for reads. Neither Jack nor the thread was talking about sig. She was talking about sig, but if she were looking for opinions on him, why ask Jack specifically?
A quick glance at her ISO and it seems she's been pushing sig as a suspect/topic of conversation for a while. I don't think it's unnatural for her to direct a specific prod at Jack about sig.
But why Jack as opposed to just asking the thread?
she was talking to jack. daisy should probably answer these questions herself.
I would like that. @Spacedaisy
Quin has this lengthy convo about daisy. Sloonei doesn't buy it, nobody else bites. (I don't buy it either.)

I asked Jack because Jack asked me to to ask him for ISO's and while I was at it I asked his opinion of sig as well. I don't see what is unnatural about it given I was directly asked to interact with Jack. I didn't particularly want Jack's opinion over everyone else's.
Cool. What's your opinion on sig?
Daisy responds and he just drops it? This looks like something I would do if I were bad. Quin tries to get something on daisy. Can't. Gives up. And as he now feels daisy will not be taken to an easy lynch, he asks her opinion on sig. Which really, he should know her thoughts if he had been reading her posts. And if he hadn't, this only confirms his original "suspicion" of her is made up.

My top suspects for day 3 are quin and chuck so far.

Read the conversation to the end next time, please. The sig read was a joke. Thanks for telling me my motivation here though.

I don't believe you. You'd have accused me of backpedaling or some such if you did, because that's what it looks like if I'm being less than honest.

Spacedaisy wrote: ↑Sun Nov 26, 2017 3:50 pm Well no offense Quinbut Eloh did to you exactly what you were doing to me. You pulled my request for ISO's and an opinion on sig from Jack and completely ignored the post (which unless I am recalling incorrectly was directly before the post you were questioning me about) from Jack asking me to give him something else to do other than just defend himself. So yeah.... hello pot, meet kettle.

No.

that's what she said

I can't completely rule out an inactive baddie team if its members are dunyo, Lasagne, Dom and sig. I could entertain a Lasagne lynch today to see whether the theory holds water. My biggest hesitation is that someone like Lasagne or Dom should have been replaced before others if mafia activity was of Marmot's concern.

@Quin That's an interesting vote on a player I have trouble reading most of the time. Can I get a summary of why?

I've had success reading her in the past. This doesn't feel like good Eloh.

I don't think she's following through on her cases in the way a civilian would. She'll say that something is suspicious and that'll be the end of it, like she's rejecting any attempt to change her mind. She's done that with me and LC in this game.

I don't believe in her rainbow list because I don't see how Lasagne could be one of anybody's top town reads. She mentioned genuinity in her posts, with Lasagne only having one, maybe two posts of workable content. The rest is, as I said before, mainly "I'm here!" posts.

Your thoughts on Dunya?

I haven't been in the thread enough to update my GTH for dunyo. Or to do ISO's. Yet again, I'm doing none of the things I said I was going to do.

I ran through her posts quickly to answer this. She's been here less than a phase and has four pages. I'm leaning town on that alone.

Re: Jimmy attacking Sig

Not fair to compare early pirates Sig to late pirates Sig and then contrast early pirates Sig with Sig here cause he got real busy irl. I want to hear more from Sig and won't give him a pass all game but still. Not a fair comparison imo.
Jack really stuck his neck out for sig here. I have a hard time envisioning a scum player going so far out of their way to offer such a glaring defense of a partner (unless it's for WIFOM points), but I also can't shake the feeling of there being something unnatural to this defense by Jack.
does it read as a scum defending a townie?
does it read as a possible jack/jay pairing?

It was a a very mild slap on the hand from Jack to Jay. It does feel out of place for Jack, and why he chose only sig to defend----he wanted a mild case build so when people iso jack/jay to have some content to defend himself with, perhaps, but nothing too dramatic to cause Jay any unwanted attention?

found the sig defence. just quoting so i know where it is

Spacedaisy wrote: ↑Wed Nov 29, 2017 8:44 pm Oh my word, in this back and forth with Kyle I am feeling like Jack's tone is very sincere... this is why this extended Day 1 situation is bad for me, the more stuff thrown at me the more indecisive I feel... I'll re-evaluate when I get home later tonight. I may change my vote.

I like Kyle less and Jack more in reading this argument.

I don't see where's Jay's case against sig is.

Kylemii wrote: ↑Wed Nov 29, 2017 8:22 pm I'm also asking why you have Sloonei as a town read, when any of the role permutations of that event where both of you are town are fairly unlikely.
How do you figure?

If either of us is the lynch stopper (fairly likely given there should have been a lynch yesterday), why would that player think anything of the other's role? Whoever didn't stop the lynch would have more reason to assume the other was town.

I don't know what you're talking about.
both of you implied survival roles or lynch manipulation or something of the kind. the permutations for that event taking place are limited and some of them include a mafia role, that's something you should be concerned about, don't you think?

Bullshit. I've linked back to my answers to you.

If you think I'm bad, then vote for me.
you're avoiding discussing questions right now as we speak. I'm not asking you to roleclaim, I'm asking you to help explore probability.

You don't seem interested in doing that. I'm tired.

Sutter Buttes can't account for the lack of death on Day 2, and there are more town or indy roles that could involve some sort of lynch/survival manipulation than mafia. Statistically, if they both did something yesterday, it's "fairly unlikely" that one of them is bad.

You're right that I have a lot of "I'm here" posts. Y'all talk so much a lot of the time and I'm constantly playing catch-up. I was here from like 6:15-7 and left for an hour and a half and now I'm a page and a half behind. I'm sorry I don't play to your standards. As for my reads... I disagree. I lay put how I feel without harping on it. I'm not going to be accused of tunneling ever again. I've also named several players I find suspicious and gave reasons. and...i participated in gth a bit even though it was after the fact. You need to re-read me dude.

I was talking about Lasagne

Let's lynch Lasagne.

I have a grievance with the amount of times Kyle has used his Pirate Mafia performance as a way to fend off suspicion. He played games somewhere else that he's also talked about but I didn't quote them. No, I don't care that most of these are direct accusations about his Pirates performance. I think he's using meta as a shield.

I don't like this post. In Pirates mafia (the one and only game I've ever seen Kyle play to this point), he was an active force early in the game. He's been more passive so far in this game, so I prodded him for reads. Five minutes later, he came out with this, absent of content but calling for more content from the newcomer. This post is fluff and an excuse to delay participation in the game.
you made your post while I was making mine, did you expect me to drop everything and respond to you? it's 9 an dude. one thing at a time.

In the pirates game my day 1 involvement was mostly getting to know new players questions and passively observing the current thread dynamics. I got called out for it and almost got lynched for it like twice. How closely were you reading the game?

Sloonei wrote: ↑Mon Nov 20, 2017 2:52 pm but you didn't get lynched. I saw you making things happen. I don't see that here yet.
whether or not I got lynch is irrelevant, the relevant part is that you should remember how that game went.

name one thing that i made happen during the first day of the pirates game. I asked questions about dogs and I think I cobbled together a read list at some point because I had 3 hours without anything better to do, bcus it was a small game filled with players I'd never met.

My most active decision was maintaining a tied vote on MP late in the day phase

Is conviction something I had in pirates mafia? I would argue that the exact opposite is true. On the second to last day I didn't know who to lynch and almost died because of it, Speedchuck talked me into no lynching. We also lost partially because I didn't pursue my suspicion of Speedchuck on the final day.

I've been making a real effort to follow through in this game because of it.

This seems like a strange conclusion to come to based on our experiences together since I was 100% not a driving force behind anything in Pirates.

My money would be Kyle is either our third-party rogue or scum right now, but leaning loner rogue at this point.
Also a kind of strange leap? What part of my gameplay is so strongly indie that you're leaning towards me being the alignment that only 5% of players are?

You're someone who creates discussion, asks questions, reaches theories and loosely based conclusions even. You're not one to sit back and see how one person responds to another before making an appearance in the thread, sorry.
In pirates I had 3 major suspects, MP, Quin, and Speedchuck. MP I voted for basically because of LC's case and what was drug out because of it. Quin I was more proactive with but like.... Honestly I didn't really push that discussion either? I just voted along with it and you know how speedchuck went.

You're characterizing me as a Good and Effective player and... Thanks I guess, but I'm not afraid to appeal to other players' skill sets before there's anything solid to chew on.

You should care that those were in direct response to meta accusations. Why wouldn't you care about that?

You're rejecting perceptions before easing concerns. You're saying "I wasn't an active force in Pirates" when you should be saying "I'm actually not someone who takes the front line" if what they're saying is false about your playstyle.

Context is extremely important. I have only talked about pirates mafia when other people have compared my play to that game.

Well this isn't true, but those cases don't strike me as alignment indicative.

No, Lasagne is Mesk.

She has 24 posts, at least 20 of those say nothing but bolster her presence in the thread.
