RIP sig words are hard don't use them.

I'm meh on her for clearing MP so quickly, since I think he's bad.

However, clearing someone who's mafia doesn't mean other person is mafia so it isn't a mafia read like my other three which I'm fully committed to that's your team. Maybe sub one out for a lurker.

That's what I was hoping to hear.

Look at me.

Burning a post.

DDL:

This assessment makes sense to me. Sloonei says the "useful wisdom" (as DDL called it) was a joke nobody got. In what way was it a joke?

I hate posts like these though. DDL, why are you cool with Mac?

I would not lynch DDL today.

++++

dunya:

I had an early negative Day 1 impression, but that's gone. dunya laying into Mac and Sloonei gets a thumbs up.

I would not lynch dunya today.

++++

G-Man:

He needs more time to post. He doesn't have much, but I will say this:

-Not a fan of his insistence on rhyming. Yes, it’s cheeky and fun but even I won’t encourage everyone to post solely in rhymes. Not a fan of his repetition of it. (-1)

...is strange coming from a guy who insists on practicing strange and quirky gimmicks all the time (his posts all start with a P, this time, by the way).

It's doubtful to me that someone of G-Man's quirky caliber would characterize posting in rhymes as something bad or inscrutable. We understand song lyrics just fine (well, most. We have Yes and Led Zeppelin...)

I would lynch G-Man today.

++++

M Plus 7:

My early Day 1 opinion on him was tainted by a misunderstanding of things on my part. The current involvement looks fine.

I would not lynch MP today.

++++

MacDougall:

I do agree with dunya's posts about Mac's treatment of TH.

However, two points in Mac's favor:

First, his lists look honest in the sense that I can peer through the alcohol-laced clouds and discern some progression of thought that I can understand even if I do not always agree with it.

Second Mac posted "8. Sig - Got a bit of a wobbly boot on but still think he's town. Whiny sig is usually town sig. " but still has his vote on sig. It's a small thing, but it feels sloppy rather than sinister.

I would not lynch MacDougall today.

++++

Nanook:

All I see that Nanook has said is that MP is good and that sig is bad.

I do not know why Nanook thinks these things.

Plus he said I was bad at math.

I would lynch Nanook today.

++++

nutella:

I went into this with a negative opinion but no longer have that. There are a couple of specific things that stood out (no, I won't call attention to them).

I would not lynch nutella today.

++++

Russtifinko:

Glad to see the gentle giant. How are things? How is your wife?

Russ had the same thought I did about post counts. That likely means he would have had to continue to fake that interpretation if he were bad (I would assume this would have been discussed in BTSC if he genuinely didn't understand and was bad). At times Russ sounds like a politician, but I can overlook that for now. Would scrutinize more later.

I would not lynch Russtifinko today.

++++

sig:

All I see from sig is that Mac is dumb and dunya seems to know that MP is good and is therefore bad herself.

Yet his vote is on the dumb one and not the bad one.

I would lynch sig today.

++++

Sloonei:

I do not see Sloonei really digging in here. There was an early vote for sig and now a vote for speedchuck because of a post speedchuck made that I thought was valid inquiry. To put it another way, Sloonei looks reactive rather than proactive. It smells.

I would lynch Sloonei today.

++++

speedchuck:

There isn't much there, but chuck has asked for Day 2. I'll allow it.

I would not lynch speedchuck today.

++++

TonyStarkPrime:

Eh. Tiny thing in his favor. Won't mention what it is.

I would not lynch TSP today.

++++

TurnipHead:

I would need to see more than a tangle with Mac. That said, I don't have anything particularly negative to say about the Turnip at this time.

I would not lynch TH today.

This might be worth a post:

Reads have been pouring out of him more openly than I'm used to. It's a change that doesn't necessarily strike me as agenda-driven. Or maybe that's the point.

But also I don't even know what he was talking about during the whole post count discussion. It seemed like he had it right at first and then fell down a rabbit hole with a misinterpretation of the rules. We had 25 posts on Day 0. We have 25 (+5) posts on Day 1.

i hate this. you're trying to downplay the lack of basis for your case by saying "but everyone else thought the same, so i'm not odd, i'm not different, i'm just like the rest of you" bad.

I am not downplaying the lack of basis for my case.

I am saying "I no longer have a case."

But apparently some motherfuckers acted like I did. What's your take on them since you "literally" called MP a civilian?

i didn't like gman's second post in the game. for all the effort he went into rhyming, i felt like we got 0 reads or anything of substance from it even if he only has a little time (so do i). that's where he and nanook differ for me, nanook offered some opinions on people (they weren't grand sweeping isos, but i don't care if people want to stick to a schtick and from memory it's common that nanook does this).

i am rereading sloonei now, because i feel i missed something.

Very well. What is the basis of it?

You felt like that because there wasn't anything of substance. It was an apology with a promise to be with us later. Anybody can see that. You're trying to spin a fact into an opinion.

Jiggy pursuits are now underway, and your 4-liners actually count.

I believe it is that I have greatly misunderstood the nature of Day 0. I was under the impression that Day 0 gave us 25 posts and that Day 1 gave us 25 new posts. Doing the math here implies that wasn't the case. Mac's accusation against me (that I'm burning through posts when I only made two Day 1 posts) implies that he was under (what I assume to be) the correct interpretation.

I would think that someone would be kind enough to use one of his or her posts to inform me of my faulty thinking vis-à-vis my accusation of M Plus 7. This correction never came from anybody (TH and nutella even joined me). However. maybe it also is that others were making the same incorrect assumption.

“Let’s not lynch sig day 1” looks like anxiety being masked as banter.
Lynch Sloonei after MP. This sucks.
1.
I agree about this being a bad look for Sloonei. Yeah, sig expressed conflicting views about rhyming. But to me that post, taken as a whole, reads as something a civ throws out because they aren't overly concerned with looking good. Mafia are the ones who try super hard to avoid contradictions in their posts, and that seems like it would've been super easy to avoid here.

Also, "let's not lynch sig day 1" is almost definitely anxiety masked as banter - no one likes dying D1. I don't see how it's alignment-indicative. Sloonei maybe you can explain that one?

Actually, as I reread Sloonei it looks worse and worse to me. As Tony pointed out, he started the lynch train on sig, then switch his vote to Tony because he didn't like all the votes on sig.....what???

-Other Thoughts-
Gonna disagree with Mac - I think Epi is genuinely scumhunting in his big D1 post about MP and Sloonei, and I don't really care about someone "burning through" their D0 posts.

On the other hand, although NANOOK's rhymes are probably the dopest so far, he's burning through D1 posts, which IMO is a different matter than the D0 ones. I also hate the vote on sig - I think it was bandwagony and poorly justified.

MP did the same thing as sig with the ambivalent response to post count limits, and I also don't think that is a big deal - knowing MP, he is probably really excited to be playing this but massively busy, so I bet he vascillates between wanting infinite posts and not having time to read infinite posts. I think the Omerta thing is really the only decent point in Epi's case against MP, but Epi says: "But that isn't important."

The enlarged either means that Russ is believing the same thing I was regarding Day 0, or he's being willfully ignorant here. I lean the former.

The same thing applies here. At this point, Nanook had eight posts, which would mean "20+ posts left" isn't true. If counting started at Day 0, Nanook has 12 left (he currently has 13 posts).

dunya commented, but her response was independent of my accusing MP about the post count restriction.

You might know this already, but Epi is literally an English teacher irl. So I would kind of expect him to sounds like that as a default. I get that you think it weaken's his case on MP, but it doesn't necessarily make me read Epi as bad. Especially with schools being out, he's gotta find an outlet.

"I would vote Epi out before MP" is a strange conclusion to "i feel like epi's case on mp was a bit more like an english teacher nitpicking someone's grammar vs. scumminess in posts."

I do not agree that my treatment of MP was pedantic in the least (which is what the description implies).

That post reeks to me. [VOTE: dunya] aubergine

Anyway, this revelation on my end makes MP's reaction (one of bafflement) sensible. It doesn't tell me anything about his alignment on its own, but it at least makes sense.

I'm pretty busy so I'm not super concerned with hitting the cap for Day 0. Nonetheless, this is post 2.

Sloonei wrote: ↑Thu Apr 30, 2020 2:31 pm 4. I'll get my few general thoughts out before the Day 1 clock starts:

I have never played a game of this format before, but I did host the one previous attempt at a Light Game on this site. The post cap was higher, but the game ended up being much slower than intended. I think that was more an issue of timing than anything than anything else, but hardly anyone ever came close to hitting their daily post limit in that game. Mafia won easily. Some people said that with no built-in system to keep track of their posts, they felt their safest bet was to just stay quiet. That's why I propose we all keep track of our daily post counts ourselves for the time being.

Pacing and timing will be important too, I guess. There's no lifting of the cap late in the phase, so if any of us are inclined to save some bullets for the deadline in case anything crucial needs to be said at lynchtime, we should be cautious about that. Unless you have jiggy powers, maybe limit yourself to 20 posts for the first 46 hours or so, I don't know, I'm making this up as I go.

I also guess we'll finally see how I adapt when I can't ask why a thousand times a day.

If we've got any other strategic suggestions, put them out there. This is a new format with new challenges, but it doesn't need to be a gigantic disadvantage.
I just played in a champs practice game at MU, which had a limit, but thankfully there the post limit was lifted 2 hours prior to EoD, so this is new for me as well as far as a hard cap... at least other than Omerta. Shhhhhh.

Anyway, keeping track of posts seems like a good idea since we don't have an automated way to do that. (post #3)

MP is an accounting professor. He needs an automated way to count?

M Plus 7 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 30, 2020 2:47 pm I think in Omerta the mafia cruised to victory there as well under similar circumstances, now that I think about it. (#4)

"I think" is a lie. MP knows. This isn't something you have to think about.

But that isn't important.

What's important is that the host has already provided an avenue to more posts, and as I've demonstrated, all you have to do is open up RhymeZone and fuck around for ten minutes.

Why preemptively bitch about a post count limit when you had an easy way to address it and dicked around instead?
