Re: [DAY ONE] The Office Mafia
I was a top poster in those because nobody killed me. I ended up being a top poster in Turf Wars too because nobody lynched me.

Re: [DAY ONE] The Office Mafia
I've been at the receiving end of this kind of accusation in almost every game I've been in for almost a year now. I'm surprised my activity is the basis for you voting me- you were one of the reasons I stopped posting so much and reigned in my aggressive ways. And before anyone objects, "Hey, you were bad in Turf Wars!", I think you can appreciate that someone can be genuine despite alignment, especially if someone else verifies what you said about yourself.S~V~S wrote:Why do you suppose I would vote for Epignosis?
Could it be his low flying ways; very very very odd for him, don't you think? Does anyone think of "low posters" and "Epignosis" in the same sentence?
Would you believe that I have twice as many posts as him, and have posted only minimally during the night, and questioned little during the day?
Will I be busy tonight?Why else would I vote now? Do I think Epignosis is s baddie?
![]()
Is it possible I will have time to ask more questions today at work? Will you tune in to the same bat time, same bat channel to find out?

Nope. Civilian BTSC is immensely popular on this site.JaggedJimmyJay wrote:Beefs with Epignosis:
I don't know why Epi asked this question. Matt's assertion was rather ordinary -- that two people (Scotty and fingersplints) shouldn't know the alignment of S~V~S yet and thus should have no reason to interfere with his methods. I don't think there's any implication here that Matt knows more than he should know, which is where Epi's question seems to lead.Spoiler: show
It's Day 1. I don't need anything more than a very small reason to have a number one suspect.JaggedJimmyJay wrote:This strikes me as a very small reason to regard Matt as the number one suspect, and there's an air of opportunism too given the crap Matt got throughout Day 1.Spoiler: show
JaggedJimmyJay wrote:This is fun in that Epignosis is accusing Wilgy of providing fake content, when Epi's post itself looks to me like fake content. Moreover, the Wilgy post being criticized looks a lot like the Epignosis post in the previous spoiler. Saying something for the sake of saying something. Taking a stance for the sake of taking a stance.Spoiler: show
When you lynch me, you can see how fake it was.JaggedJimmyJay wrote:The "soft accusation" thing looks fake too. Wilgy suggested a bad INH might suggest a good Matt, which makes perfect sense given the treatment INH gave Matt on Day 1. There's no reason for this to be perceived as "soft". There's no "couching". Wilgy voiced suspicion of INH independent of Matt and then made an assertion about how a baddie flip by INH might reflect on Matt. That's reasonable.Spoiler: show
JaggedJimmyJay wrote:Then all those numeral grades are just pointless. Epignosis is not the type to waste thread space on nonsense.
Spoiler: show
You don't know what you'd expect a civilian Epignosis to do. Maybe lynching me would be educational for you.JaggedJimmyJay wrote:Epignosis ended up supporting the Wilgy lynch. The only supporting content for this vote is in the preceding spoiler, which I've already griped about. He seemed very relaxed and content to go with the flow on this one. I get the impression given the language of his posts that he suspected Matt more than Wilgy, but he didn't bother to press the issue. I'd expect a civilian Epignosis to be a little more invested in getting his suspect lynched.Spoiler: show
I don't give a shit about post count, and I don't think you do either.JaggedJimmyJay wrote:Separately from all this, I count 14 of Epi's 33 posts that add nothing to the discussion. This number can be disputed to be slightly higher or slightly lower depending upon interpretation. Regardless I see potential post count inflation.

Re: [DAY ONE] The Office Mafia
leetic voted Wilgy and didn't say why. Then he came in and asked about how you didn't have anything that wasn't fluff to say.Elohcin wrote:I did actually. Soon after you posted it. And the whole thing sounded insincere.Quin wrote:In that case I think you would do better to address it to me and give me a chance to discuss it further, as opposed to hastily throwing down a vote for it and moving on.Elohcin wrote:fluffy, non- game related stuff? What are you talking about? I don't think I've posted anything non-game related except that I would be back to vote after my show last night and even that was semi-game related. I don't know what you're talking about. Also, looking back at all your posts, you have only made ONE semi-on topic post. The rest have been "fluffy, non-game related" posts.leetic wrote:Why are you posting such fluffy, non-game-related stuff this late in? Surely you have something else to talk about?Elohcin wrote:I am going to go with Customer Service tonight.
I do hope you aren't lumping me with this Leetic person by asking us both about our reads at the same time. At the moment I am most concerned with Quin for his/her "I'm a civ and you'll be sorry" post before EoD 1. As I've said before and as most people are probably tired of hearing...big games are difficult for me. I am trying to keep up, take notes, and participate as much as possible. I will have more things to say as time goes on, promise.DrumBeats wrote:@ Leetic and Eloh - What are your current reads?
So, what specifically do you find most suspicious about the post?
Why leetic and Matt, Epi? I do think leetic is not playing well including his reprimanding of me, but I'm not sure it makes him bad. And Matt is acting like his regular self, imo.Epignosis wrote:1. You subbed in.JaggedJimmyJay wrote:Hey gang. I'm TiredJimmyJay, so please bear with me if I catch up at a leisurely pace.
Anyone who cares: what are the three most important things I should know about this game so far?

Re: [DAY ONE] The Office Mafia
Not especially, but I think the reason he's getting votes is lame. Personally, I'm always more interested in mechanics (if they are hidden) early on than I am finding out who is bad. It appeals to my game designing sensibilities. And I've seen too many people screwed over by hidden mechanics (although I've won two or three games I never should have won simply because I got secretly recruited at the eleventh hour).S~V~S wrote:Do you think Quin is a civvie?Epignosis wrote:You really don't like that. You're being sarcastic.birdwithteeth11 wrote:I like how, for the first time in a REALLY long time, I feel like I have something concrete to go on with a Day 1 lynch, and I suddenly have several players looking at voting me.

Quin could be bad, but him getting lynched Day 1 for those reasons sucks in my opinion.

Dear Ricochet,
Games about numbers people are afraid of is really a niche market, and I fear you will have a difficult time finding the type of business you are seeking, particularly in this part of the globe.
My suggestion is that you stick to things people appreciate for themes, such as racial genocide or the subjugation of women. Those will assuredly have wider draws.
On a personal note, I am a huge fan of your work. Your evaluations with the Prog Archives Eclectic Team are second to none. You really put Simon Railton in his place!
Sincerely,
