Yknow i really dont want to vote without feeling confident, but ill vote ddl out of preservation if i need to

Why me when there are people with more votes than me? Just for the OMGUS?

I'll let you answer that by answering a new question: Of the people who already have votes, who would you vote for?

Is this relevant anymore?

On page 35, in what appears to be an Epi/RDW/Colin/Mac/Nutella discourse

remember guys, if you want to level up Night 1, you have to submit your actions within 12 hours of night commencing!

AH FUCK

I feel like I’m gonna find out the answer to this soon

I’m halfway through these 20 pages and I want to end all of your lives and my own for having to read so much

Dragon D. Luffy wrote: ↑Tue Feb 13, 2018 9:20 am Ok my problem with this game is that I have a surplus of civ reads and basically zero confident bad reads.

Jay, Dunya, Colin, RDW and Marmot are all strong civ in my book.

The rest is a huge list of neutral people, included everyone I've voted for so far.

Yeah maybe I'm being a pussy.

I kind of get the appeal of the Nutella lynch but I'm seeing a big, glowing sign with the words DEJAVU in it so I don't feel confortable about lynching her. I think Nutella is one of these people who are just naturally scummy. It's a fact of life, Nutella is always bad until she flips good, or until she is cleared by abilities like in Mountain. I'd rather take my time with her.

But I need to vote, and I don't feel confortable with voting sprityo after he gave me a good reason for his weird vote, so I will [VOTE: Kenway] aubergine

Why? Because he is blending like a boss that's why. His post count is just high enough not to get labelled inactive but he hasn't said anything remarkable all day. Hasn't gotten in any big arguments. His vote on TSP is very low key and doesn't bring big cases.

Wouldn't be the first or the tenth time I see a civ playing like that. But wouldn't be the 50th time I see a baddie playing like that. I feel satisfied with this vote.

I can’t recall what I said and I don’t think it was anything that significant

Anyway, can't wait to get my secret powers. I bet I'll be able to zap people with impunity.

Do you mean you can't wait to be promoted? I don't think you're getting a secret role if you didn't get one with your backstory already.

Yep, can't wait to get promoted to being a Mage Knight, though I'm not sure how that'll take place or if I'll even have a choice about the role I get promoted to.

you have to survive 5 phases so promotion starts Day 6. You have to vote every day phase and send your night actions in within 12 hours of night starting, I believe (not sure on time, something like that though, I'd have to check JOH's posts) to level up each day/night. After 5 days and 5 nights, you are eligible for promotion and you can choose it.

Sorry for not reading, and thanks! I've picked up very bad habits playing Mafia on mobile, worst of them probably me scrolling a bit too much. Also doesn't help I played on MafiaScum, that place was pretty bad. Thanks again!

By the way, with all the powers in play, I kinda have a feeling this game might be quite short.

MafiaScum is horrible ain't it. I played a few games there after starting on RYM and they were freaking ruthless to me. Everything I said was met with ferocious rebuttal. Their meta is so ingrained they can't see any other way to approach the game. And the belittlement! Yikes. I played on Something Awful a bit too and it was as bad. I did and do still prefer hammer voting though.

HAMMER TIME

I miss those games too. I'm pretty sure in the grand scheme of things, a hammer game is anti-town, but I like the speed and it makes last minute complete vote changes and mislynches harder to construct (which is something that exists on the syndicate).

you should’ve played the critically acclaimed Phenon Mafia

Dragon D. Luffy wrote: ↑Tue Feb 13, 2018 2:33 pm I substantiated my Kenway vote back then. Have you done the same for yours? Because your vote on Epi was garbage but I didn't see anyone commenting on that.

I kind of debunked it. You can replace Kenway with Kites, sprityo...heck, even sig!

I like the tone of Sig's posts.

I had a beef with Sprityo but then he kind of explained his catch up post and the DDL vote thing which I didn't like. So now i'm giving him more time.

Besides the last time I suspected Sprityo on Day 1 he was good and only escaped lynch because he was replaced by a supatown dunya so I want to be more careful this time.

I’m good more often than not, I’m just really fucking bad at mafia

Not once have I ever heard someone say “Sprityo is definitely town” based solely off of my posting not relating to role mechanics and claims

Such is the way of life

Time to continue reading this hellscape and why for some reason I’m green on the OP

Kylemii wrote: ↑Tue Feb 13, 2018 3:39 pm despite everything i don't actually see epi's actions in aggregate as being mafia indicative.

for one thing, if he truly does have a lynch switch as his background power he'd have to know that it would probably come in handy more later on if a teammate came in danger, and he'd probably be pressured by teammates to not use it on the first day.

and if he's lying about the lynch switch for reactions or whatever, mafia epi would have to know that such a large bluff would give him attention.

counterpoint: point one obviously falls apart if nutella is his teammate, also a lynch switch seems a little strong compared to the other background powers that we've heard about, and would make sense thematically as a bonus for the troubador's promotion valkyrie because of the higher level 'rescue' staff. though maybe we've only heard about the weaker background abilities because the people with active ones have kept it more quiet? but then again, if epi and Nutella are mafia together epi would have motivation to specifically not refuse to read her, cus like.... this isn't his first rodeo. so nevermind actually. if there's something up between nutella and epi it's probably not this

Note myself later, this is the first instance in which I recognize Kyle as “doing something significant”

I’m done and I’m gonna be sick

So no one knows why Mac-y Mac and the funky bunch are in their own little trio. Sounds cool.

What I took away from this is Dunya is my town pick.
I don’t see much of anyone disagreeing with that, as you can see I’ve already nominated her to join prince Rico.

JJJ and Dr_whites kerfuffel is town-town. With Jay being a ruthless killer. Outside of that I’m not sure much else to think of Dr_white.

Epi is town. Shame on you all for trying to lynch him.

Nutella is reminding me of ME mafia when she didn’t do much and lurked all around endgame and I didn’t nab her out of the dismissiveness in me. Never again.

RDW was a hot topic issue as I read but I can’t recall anyone saying he’s town, aside maybe in comparison to another high poster, similar situation to Dr_white

Sig has managed to skate by unnoticed but somewhat there. He had a couple of good posts if I remember correctly however, I don’t like him.

Marmot and DDL were absent a good chunk of my catchup but appeared later to add some good opinions, DDL more so with him catching up as well. Marmot kinda like posted some stuff, then came back later with a read wall of fireworks. So I mean idk what to interpret it as. Overall I could stick these players as “mafia with high town interaction” so they’re not a town, but they’re not null

I should just group Colin, RDW, and Dr_white in a group cause they all at one point had their spotlight and then it moved on pretty quickly, even more so away from them entirely with epi and Nutella garnering more votes as the day wore on

I don’t like Quin for reasons that have been posted by the likes of Dunya. Essentially I expected to see more of quin since I regard him as a generally town appealing person in general. Perhaps it was just the ludicrous post count that obscured him?

I group Mac with DDL and Marmot, I felt more confident about him earlier but he had a similar effect on me over the course of the past 2 hours

Uhhhhhhhh. I saw TSP a few times, apparently people don’t like him either??? I didn’t take notice.


Probably the thing that stuck out to me most was the conversation revolving around Nutella and how people reacted to it. Also epi for some reason didn’t want to put forth a read, I’ll attribute it to him just being Epi


I think even more impressive was I was mentioned perhaps 5-6 times between page 33ish to end of day 1. Like dropped off the grid nothing but “oh hey he’s in a read wall” when arguably I had a kinda controversial claim that everyone just said “okay, we believe you”

Not to say I was lying, but the level of doubt I was expecting was a lot more intense in my head. I really don’t want to catch up like that again, just want to play video games in my down time so let’s not post 10 pages before 10 am tomorrow plz

Anyone not mentioned is more than likely null or Ive just forgotten about them

Kylemii wrote: ↑Tue Feb 13, 2018 8:07 pm what makes that post anymore significant than anything I'd done before it, sprityo?

It caught my eye was all. I was like “hm, something I can think over in my mind, where was this earlier?”

Perhaps in relation to the mess of shit I had just read it appeared and was noticeable. Quite frankly I remember jack-squat about anything that had happened before I caught up besides what I myself had already said. And even that’s hazy

Oh right cbob I felt like I was forgetting someone.

Ehhh. Sorta town. Probably town

i do love me some good ole fashioned Statistics, i like the way you brought this around, Epi.

I wish to discuss this with someone, but is there anyone online who is willing?

No one took me up on my offer earlier so I’ll say this as a statement:

While epi has 10.5 people saying Dunya would be on their mafia team, I don’t think it correlates to her actually being on it. I had thought about it last night and I’ve forgotten now what my case was but essentially it was like “they want Dunya to be mafia, but that isn’t the case” ugh it frustrates me I can’t remember the exact wording of it, but essentially I don’t think the lower numbers correlate better towards mafia alignment.

Hrnnngh, okay like so you would want to put people on your “Don list” that you know are just strong players overall but the mafia more so avoided their teammates im sure. I think in the end the statistics are nice to look at but there’s nothing groundbreaking we can learn from it

I know why I trust you, why do you trust me, though?

I actually thought you were Kenway for some reason, but the question still applies.

Your overwhelming amount of post and presence either makes me believe you’re town or you just don’t have any kind of hobby, job, or work outside of mafia

Respectable, I wish I had your kind of vigor and work ethic

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

Also whatever I didn't kill collins, like I said I targeted Wilgy, no offense bro.

Any number of things could've happened that would've redirected or changed targets assuming it was me. Once again you're quick to vote for me, yet not offer any good reasoning.

You're scum.

this could’ve been avoided if you guys had just listened to me yesterday

I’d like to make it clear that was a joke

I voted sig yesterday out of mild suspicion and lots of gut. It was my best foot forward and I’ll maintain that stance until I feel it’s appropriate otherwise.

Or perhaps I’m given a more convincing case that actually had fabric. Not that I’d want to just hop on a wagon all willy nilly without putting in work myself.

So yeah: [VOTE: sig] aubergine

I'm stupid. The pegasi didn't misdirect today.

Still don't think this is enough to indict Sig tho. But I suppose it's enough to nullify the effect of the fact nobody would pick Sig and bring him back to the neutral pile.

But apparently i was picked. And i think ppl woild seeing how I've got like a super dangerous kill power;)

This is a witch hunt with no good reasoning and a class old school try to lynch sig for stupid shit which is what scum lc does.

Alsp sprits vote is just plain dumb he "joke" voted me yesterday but today now it's real sure.

This is a mafia attempt to save a teammate just like yesterday's wagon on lap.

I don't understand why he's alive

If he knew he wouldn't die then maybe that post of his after the supposed lynch where he lamented having a great town role could be some kickass wifom

The mafia might just have had bigger priorities? Perhaps try looking more to on why the mafia killed Tony, and who’s related to that.

I was thinking earlier that we have fostered an environment that allows too much comfort for the Mafia. Civilians acting like not civilians. We get so turned around that we lynch players for seeming TOO civvie and shit. We should issue a standard and force the mafia out into the open by being relentlessly adherent to it.

Idk sounds boring
