You trust sig?

players that still need roles: I'd say go with Kites or Iron_Dwarf since they're RYM first timers here, but they're europeans and would stop the thread till tomorrow. so maybe go with an american like Marmot who stays awake till 2am EST on normal days.

And I trust Wilgy since he's amazing.

I just gave you like 2-7 reasons why they wouldn't.

Also for those who don't remember or know me. I'm Sigurd from Philadelphia, best city on the east coast, in school at Lexington. People here without fail always mislynch me. Break the cycle don't mislynch sig.

And it wasn't deflection, she's just taking control of the thread and tried to give you a kill role.

If I was mafia, I wouldn't risk it either by giving rundontwalk a kill role. Right?

Secondly, you'be played enough games with me by now to know I always take control of a thread, especially when a new player I invited is saying "give me any role".

Also Epi is mafia by your own account cos he gave you a kill role

I wanted rundontwalk to have it because he's impulsive and will use it.

rundontwalk is one of the best civ vig players I've ever played with. He's not always tight, but he does things and moves things. He's not afraid of being wrong and always hesitant. And a lot of times his confidence pays off. You guys haven't played with him before so you don't see what I'm saying. Giving RDW a lethal weapon is a good thing in my books. Also he's the future US president and doesn't lie.

Says you. I know rundontwalk way better than I know either you or Epi.

I wouldn't use a kill as a townie. I make an awful big. I don't feel I have the balls to actually pull a trigger on someone without general consent from others. The role needs someone like RDW.

Dunya, Epi and I are all mafia members and we preplanned this to distance ourselves.

I didn't pick this role, guess you should hash it out with Epi.

Sorry, I wasn't saying you don't fit the role. I was just explaining why I felt the role suited RDW in my opinion and why I suggested it for him when he wasn't naming a role.

Hope Epi gave the weapons to the right side

Everyone on that list should ask for 2 or 3 roles in order of preference (I see you already did that) when they come on next, so people don't have to stop and ask for requests.

sig wrote: ↑Fri Feb 09, 2018 12:35 pm @dunya

What extent do you think mafia will attempt to get good roles versus lay low and take whatever?
Do you think they'll coordinate with each other and how much?
This would include giving roles to each other over other players.

I don't think this is a good post day 0/day 1 thought process it would get to WIFOM and lead to easy lynches but for now I wouldn't mind getting the ball rolling.

I think there's gonna be a mixed bag of all those things. They have had a chat between them open before drafting even began, so I definitely feel some kind of coordination took place with regards to which roles to ask for, especially since everyone has checked in here (except 2 players). It wouldn't surprise me if at least 2 went after good roles, one of them said "give me whatever idc/idk", and the other 2 would pick something less offensive and more peaceful (like a doctor, or role blocker, jail-keeper, something slow and steady as opposed to a flying/killing role). I don't think they would start giving roles to each other in succession to ensure they have the roles they want, especially when people are happily assigning whatever you ask for--that leaves a paper trail. But there's 5 scum so I could believe one of them would pass something onto one other team member. At least, that would have been my recommendation. I don't know how WIFOMy you guys get, like if Marmot and DrWilgy and Long Con and Epignosis and JaggedJimmyJay were on a team... God knows what to expect. Also worth mentioning is when the role distribution happened yesterday, there was pressure to give roles to "online" players actually viewing the thread and posting; so if all of them weren't online at the same time and you had others begging for roles itt, it would be extremely suspicious to give a role to an offline player.

I dunno about that. I know there's nothing quite like a scum game to ensure a high post count for me. Plus, this is a very exciting game, so of course she has a high post count. After all, I'm here.

~~~> If the don is not a Syndicate regular, he or she is slightly less likely to select unfamiliar players.

If accepted together, these premises would favor sig, DrWilgy, and Marmot.

Favor use in which way?

I agree with the first point, I don't agree with the second though. If an RYMer was selected, I definitely feel they'd include unfamiliar members; they definitely wouldn't build a team of 5 RYMers. Similarly, if a Syndicator was selected, they would include unfamiliar RYMers between them. Anything else would be foolish imo.

I disagree with you Jay that high post count = civ dunya.

linki: Okay.

that's ok, you've never played with scum dunya before so you can be apprehensive about me. The only un-town game I've played on this website was a burglary where I was an independent, but played with the civs anyway so even that is a bad representation of scum dunya. I've already been mislynched for the first time in my mafia career in Mortal Kombat, as you recall, and I'm sure it won't be my last. But hell if I'm going down because "you post too much" or "you don't post enough" or "you give me icky feelings" (none of which you stated yet, but I'm just saying, those reasons suck balls). Screw dat. Screw dat to hell and back. I hated those reasons 7 years ago, and I still hate those reasons today. Give me a case I can defend or screw up.

2 - It isn't merely that she has a high post count. It is contextual. She didn't even want to play another game.

To be fair she just signed up for image mafia.

She can't help herself... but not just with this game. Mafia as a whole.

When Epignosis expressed trust for sig, do you think he was pulling that out of his ass?

This Epi ~trust~ thing reminds of of when he said he trusted Mesk in Mountains and people got all their panties in a twist over it, saying Epi never says he trusts anyone...but he did and he was town.

I think I know why he felt that way. One needn't even have a read on RDW. To trust sig at all and have no clue about RDW implies that sig is more trusted than RDW. Then when the latter is asking for a killing role, well, it makes sense.

RDW didn't ask for a killing role, he said he doesn't care what role he gets. I suggested it on his behalf.

I was pinged by his eagerness to receive a killing role, but a lot of that was contingent on Dunya's influence and.... Dunya has already slid into her standard role of out-posting everyone 3 times over.

I'm not sure what you mean by this. You were pinged by his pursuit of a killing role, depending upon exactly what from dunya?

I mean that the fact that Dunya was the one who was mostly pushing for him to get a killing role and not rdw himself lessened my concern on that issue. I might have used the word "contingent" wrong. basically "rdw is bad Because he tried hard to get the wyvern role" would require w/w dunya and rdw.

Wyvern Knight is maybe the most dangerous role to have in the wrong hands in this game, I could see the mafia going a little out of their way to grab WK or maybe one of the thieves to skew the power balance in their favor.

I figured that was probably why Epignosis gave the wyvern role to sig instead, since rdw seemed like he wanted it and sig wanted cleric or something. Of course that's also kind of a different ball of wax, but I think in general the wyvern is better off with a player who didn't want the role.

townie kyle.

but again, rdw wanted it after I suggested it. RDW didn't ask for it himself. I am the one who was pushing for him to get it, and he went with it.

On the other hand, Wilgy specifically asked nutella for it. What do you make of that?
