"Wrong" and "lying" are not the same. "Lying" implies a sincere intent to mislead. I don't get the impression that's what Burger did. I'll leave him to respond to your commentary though, I'm not in his head.

I am currently doing my Dom/LoRab review, so I'll see what I come up with.
I think that's some biased posting you're doing there.

The dichotomy you found between me and Llama is interesting. I'm not baddie and definitely not LoRab's teammate, so I'd be willing to revisit my Llama suspicion.

I saw a couple of mentions of me and Lorab so allow me to address what I read. I thought I explained this clearly on Day 0 but there still seems to be some confusion. I didn't want to vote Lorab on Day 1 because she was doing exactly what I went after her for doing in our previous game together. I had convinced Golden to switch to her and we lynched a civ. (I should say "convinced" as Golden was bad at the time. Anyways, I've had no further mention of Lorab due a lack of time to read up on her.
For the record and for those who don't remember I gave Jay a chance to save himself with a tie on 3.0 with a vote for llama. I didn't have time to come back before the end of the Day, but if I had a chance to I woud've voted for Lorab at that time. Before anyone says "it wouldn't have mattered. Jay was up by 2 votes" 1. We still don't know for sure what caused the lynch to be cancelled. Sure we know what Jay claimed, but we can't take those at face value. 2. Matt was also still on llama. Had he come back in time, he, too could have switched to Lorab and caused a tie. Would he do that? Idk.
My point with all of this is that I felt better about Jay than I did about both Lorab and llama.

As for who I think should be lynched next: I think DH looks the worst after this result. Typing this on my phone so I'll go look for quotes after posting this to back up my argument. But I recall DH defending Lorab pretty hard core early on and a bit recently. Be back in a few.
This doesn't sit right with me.

Dom wrote:3. You men me voting around my work schedule? And voting for someone I think was bad?
Well I don't know your work schedule, a quick glance over your posts does show a fairly consistent posting pattern, I don't think that is purely an excuse. E.g. Jan 15 the day before the 3.5 flip, you dropped a "Anyone else find it weird that JJJ is defending FZ when he's on the lynching block??" without following up on why when a couple of us wondered what the big deal was. You were still around for at least a couple more hours making two more posts, one agreeing with LoRab regarding Rico's theory on you regarding "suspish", the other being simply "i voted". The next post after that came literally minutes after the lynch deadline.
"BEing around"= being at home and checking the thread every so often, not ready to engage in multi page debates.
I think you're being awfully picky.

Your initial vote on JJJ came from the whole "appeal to emotion" thing you called him out on, which reads like a "NO U" to me even if you weren't the one being called out on it. I mean, hypocrisy/double-standards in casing and reasoning are something I love to point out, but your first vote was built after you had asked LC for his thoughts on JJJ, then called him out for a perceived appeal to emotion, then defended Bea for the perceived hypocrisy. Most of what came after that just looks like you sticking on JJJ with non-argument attacks (e.g. "so your buddying didn't work and now I'm somehow bad for it?", "Those are different things and you are purposefully conflating them."). Reviewing the definition for OMGUS I guess Rico doesn't fit by definition since he can't be voted for, but I'm talking about posts like "I think it's time to remove the tinfoil hat. " and "Saying that your theory "fits" and that your theory has any chance on being correct are two different things. " are just slightly wordier ways of saying "You're wrong because I say you are", which is a bad look for any townie to say, especially in an argument with a confirmed townie like Rico.
I don't think you knew/know what a NO U is. :p

And Rico's townness does not make him right.

I like the part where you say things that are blatantly false.
Your "in which" post?
Because that's as close as you get. And I think it's a pretty ridiculous post of unconnected points and incorrect information. Your first post against me was simply because I didn't immediately think FZ was civvie and didn't warm up to you when you buddies me.

I said things that are blatantly false? Where did I pull a NO U? Where? Someone point it out to me. Why do you only care when I don't post things that are "truthful"? Why do HBBs posts get no such treatment? I sit because you're bad? Are you looking for someone to help you out and you don't care who goes down in the process?

Dom wrote:....for what reasons again?
1. Your stated intent as early as day 0 to vote llama, predicting that he would become one of the more-voted candidates day 1, which reads like BTSC put out in public as to the planned goings-on involving him
2. Your early post history shows suspicion of LoRab, but not conviction; you basically +1 a post of Epi waiting for LoRab's response (exactly what Black Rock had done too btw), then later when Epi asks why people are resistant to voting LoRab, you come in again saying "Oh don't forget me!", like you were torn between defense-by-silence without distancing too far
3. Your vote history 3.0/3.5, and especially the way you dropped your vote on Jimmy early both times as if to stay away from argument near the deadline
4. You've gotten kinda dismissive/NO U when pressured at points, like the stuff Jimmy posted above, or a bunch of your responses to Rico here, which doesn't look good

And while I didn't want to put too much stock into Rico's "suspish" thing, since he mentioned that LoRab was one of two others that had used it, and considering her flip, I'll even add that to the list.
1. This is bogus TBH. I said who I was suspicious of. Not sure how else you'd like me to speak. I had reasons to vote him.
2. I can see this reason but it's wrong. I was mildly suspicious of lorab but wasn't as convinced as others. That can look like distancing but it's not.
3. You men me voting around my work schedule? And voting for someone I think was bad?

I... kind of like this theory. It's just crazy enough to make sense, and I know I often find myself using the language of the group I'm talking with. Does this necessarily make him bad, though? I'm not pinged super hard either way. On the civ end, I like his pressure on Tranq and the way he's been skeptical of Mac throughout the game. On the mafia end, I don't like the way he's expressed support for off-wagon candidates and then circled back to the main wagon for all of the lynches thus far; feels just a touch too blendy.

GTH, I guess I'd say bad. The connection of "suspish" with Lorab, combined with his consistent but low levels of aggro toward her, could make the case for mafia teammates.
I think LoRab put the context quite nicely, regardless of alignment.

You have to admit that the odds of two scum from the same team being the top two candidates is lower than the odds of them being on different teams.

And for my own reason, in addition to the above, I've been suspicious since I read his day 0 posts, almost predicting that llama would become a suspect starting day 1. In general I just get non-townie vibes from him too.
You're wrong about me. I think I have laid it out nicely. I liked LC's case on JJ and think his responses have only damned him more. I don't think his survival is suspicious in itself.

I also think it's weird that he has yet to propose an alternate lynch candidate to actually be bad and not a lesser of two evils candidate. He just keeps defending himself and FZ.

Nah. If Dom was bad, he would've ripped Boomslang a new one for daring to suspect him. That's what I've seen bad Dom do in multiple games, just FREAK OUT on the person suspecting him.

I don't have BTSC with Dom. We are not on a baddie team together. If he is civ, then we are on the same team.

I will say that suspish is a word that was used a lot on LP and TP, which is where Dom learned to mafia. So it doesn't strike me as odd language from Dom. He also could have picked it up from me during our BTSC time in the last game.

All that said, it's not a word I'd expect to hear from Llama...so...an interesting note to keep in mind.
Civs are not a team.

Dom has used it a whooping one time on Syndicate in three years of being on this site (oh, to the day! :beer:). His LP/TP background doesn't matter. You are clearly in BTSC, talking about how to feign that you find X or Y "suspish", or actively talking through which players could be "suspish" as a second mafia output (if there is a second team).

You defending this and bringing up background from the B.C. of mafia playing, when the guy obviously didn't keep the word in his language for the past three years, doesn't make me feel any better about this.
I think it's time to remove the tinfoil hat.

You, LC, Canuck, LoRab, bea and a few others I (very superficially) checked having "suspish" in their vocabulary would not be uncommon at all. Dom using it for the second time ever - the first being a game he won as indy bad - is uncommon and fully supports my theory.
Saying that your theory "fits" and that your theory has any chance on being correct are two different things.

1. What civ minded person would participate in the lynching of someone they FULLY ADMIT THEY BELIEVE TO BE A GENUINE CIV

2. What civ minded person says "Sure JJJ *could* be bad, and if he flips bad, don't look at the people that saved him, look at the people that voted to lynch him"

What a joke that is.

DH, you must be the worst baddie to ever walk this planet. Why would I, as an alleged baddi, who went after Lorab for her reply to BR and told her that her reaction was suspicious as hell, would then go and say she sounded genuine, before voting for her? Why not just leave my suspicion there, which a lot of people supported by the way, and assuming I know she's civ, (which even if I was bad I couldn't, if there are 2 teams and not 1, that is) and make myself look much better in my defense of JJJ? How stupid do you think I am to do what you suggest I did, as a baddie?

If you do that as a baddie, then you need to get your act straight. I don't. I was contemplating my actions out loud. I was suspicious of Lorab, but was also a little afraid to vote for her, because her last defense felt somewhat genuine. Even so, out of the two top vote getters, I felt JJJ was the more sure civvie.

Seriously, there are reasons to suspect people, and there are reasons to just end up looking like a real idiot. Which to me, you do at the moment (no offence). I thought you were bad before. I need to decide whether to go back to that thought or not. Now, I'll go back and look at who agreed with you, and who among you feel the most suspicious for that.
This feels like a "you suspect me for the wrong reasons" post.
FZ. wrote:I still have a few more pages to read :sigh: , but from what I have read so far, out of those who have votes, I think I'm most comfortable voting for MM. I think I would also feel comfortable voting for Drac, but he has no votes, for Sorsha or Dom. Either have votes at the moment.

MM feels to me like he was in Pikmin mafia. He's mostly making jokes, he's not contributing at all from what I can remember. I remember when I was bad with him in Pikmin, I kept telling him to start contributing more, because the MM I remember from a few games in which he was a civ (Flash comes to mind), he was doing a lot of research and trying to figure out things, whereas in Pikmin, he kept asking people if they were bad or on teams with one another.


As for Lorab, her defences still have me doubting her baddiness. Again, I don't see her as a clear civ, like I view JJJ, but I'd rather not vote her if I don't have to save JJJ. Yeah, the late votes for JJJ could be an attempt to save her, but they could also be from people who thought JJJ could be bad, if they know there are more baddies than just them. Clearly, me feeling better about her could just me being too naive, but I'm hesitant. I feel BR is genuine, so I believe her vote is also genuine, and I'm still not sure what to think about Epi, but I'm wondering whether his persistence is because he knows something, or something else.

Lastly, tranque is just an easy lynch. I don't tend to give those kind of players the time of day. This is my game philosophy:
If a player is bad, but non existent in the game, and the baddies win the game because of that player, they can take that win and shove it. I tend to think that baddies try harder than civvies because they know other people depend on them. How hard is it, to come up with a stupid reason to vote for someone, and look better than just driving by and voting? And if you're really doing that as a baddie, you're just a coward.
When have you expressed any suspicion of me before this post?
If Tranq is so easy, why has it taken so long to lynch him for playing just like he did the last time he was bad?

Why can't we do this?
Who has suspected me for those reasons?
Because the opposite is true.


Sorsha, I do think it's weird. It's almost like the pile on of votes on Lorab was a paper thin save attempt on JJJ.

I... kind of like this theory. It's just crazy enough to make sense, and I know I often find myself using the language of the group I'm talking with. Does this necessarily make him bad, though? I'm not pinged super hard either way. On the civ end, I like his pressure on Tranq and the way he's been skeptical of Mac throughout the game. On the mafia end, I don't like the way he's expressed support for off-wagon candidates and then circled back to the main wagon for all of the lynches thus far; feels just a touch too blendy.

GTH, I guess I'd say bad. The connection of "suspish" with Lorab, combined with his consistent but low levels of aggro toward her, could make the case for mafia teammates.
I think LoRab put the context quite nicely, regardless of alignment.

If it's late in the phase and only two people have enough votes to be realistic final choices, I will usually pick one of them -- even if I read both as civilians. I think it's usually pointless to defiantly vote for one's own pet suspect when that vote has no chance of amounting to an actual lynch. Townies need to have accountability and responsibility for moving the game as a team.
So you'd actively start a bandwagon against someone you read as civ as a civ?

You are purposefully misrepresenting my sentiments. I am not supposing someone might choose to vote someone they may think is civ over someone else they think is civ. I am supposing someone actively started a bandwagon and campaigned for their lynch.

Almost this exact thing has has happened to me before when I was bad: an unexpected host decision exposing the flimsy nature of my case. It's a small thing, but it caught my eye.

That's a good question, but I think it happens a lot in the early game. It's usually beneficial for mafias to cut down the number of civilians and wait to go after each other once there is a nice cushion, and then turn on each other in the mid to end-game.. Remember that lynches are still happening, so the presence of a competing mafia acting like mafia makes for good lynch competition. At least that's my experience.
I get what you're saying, but if I don't think I can lynch someone I know is bad, then why wouldn't I kill them?

It's not going to happen. Talking Heads especially was a one-time thing. I'm probably never going to do that again.
Then what the hell is this?

Black Rock claims to read Lorab well and says she's bad (and I believe her, because Lorab's tone is a mystery to me and I've only played a handful of times with her). Is that not a one-two punch? What's the deal? Lynch her already and be done. Then see where we stand.

That's my position. Still.
I suspected LoRab earlier, so I'll look into those reasons again.

I recall in TH we had a role that forced people to multiply their post count or be killed if they failed to meet their post count limit. Perhaps there is a scum or rogue role that makes it so if a person misses a vote they can be hit or you target them and if they miss a vote after that at any point they die. Could be a neat way to get rid of non contributors. Has there been a role like this before? I can see why RadicalFuzz was hit on account of bossing but Brian was barely around and neither was timmer so they seem like less tactical, more "because I can" type kills.
It's a neat way to get rid of busy moms too.
Eloh, you could say, was gotten rid of by a role being used to its potential (Rico's). I'm sorry Eloh couldn't keep up and enjoy the game, because it is much funner when she can.

But I'm not sure what your point is.
Dom wrote:I'm not sure what the point of engaging in that discussion in the game thread is.
If you'll look at what I was talking about, I wasn't talking about this game. I was talking about Talking Heads.

That's a lot of talking.

In Talking Heads, Eloh had trouble keeping up. Then she ended up having to make like 30 on-topic posts or something like that. She tried, but could keep up, and got killed for it. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong. That's all I was referring to.
I understand now.

The question is - why three kills.

And in some ways I agree with you, in that we can speculate all we like but we don't have any evidence (that I can see).
That's not the point I was talking about.

But also valid.

RadicalFuzz wrote:But, Llama, is the universe not ever expanding, and thus there will always be more to colonize?

The on-topic conversation between us about credit is going nowhere Llama, let's just drop it.

Wilgy you tease me so.
Space is expanding. That does not mean more matter is being created. Space, like a balloon being blown up is expanding. Imagine dots on the balloon. That is matter. As space expands, the dots get further away and the amount of volume that is being taken up is larger, but the amount of matter (dots) remains constant. Eventually, there will be no more hydrogen to create new stars, old stars will have lost their heat and burned their fuel and the universe will be a cold, dark place.

Although, that's only one theory on how the universe will end. There are several others. :p

But all stars will eventually die. It doesn't matter how many worlds we colonize. Eventually, the universe will grow cold, and we will perish with it.
If humanity survives that long (which is trillions of trillions of years), we will likely be post-singularity and have figured out how to power ourselves much more efficiently-- even so efficiently that we could either access other universes or create new stars.

But what you said was this:

Unless I'm reading it differently than you intended it, that's saying "I don't know if Llama did this or if one of his teammates did it".

The difference is negligible, because they both mean "Llama is a baddie on the cursing team".
I do like this point LC made.

The speculation plausibile would be if Zebra's killer would mess with zebra's role reveal, turning it into a bad flip.
Then why is the power also bad? Did the seemer get to change that too?

Something isn't sitting right with me. His tone looks different from Star Wars, where he was good and I felt like he was civ the whole game. But I can't quite put my finger on it. I think it started with the interaction/semi-thread towards MM for throwing suspicion on him early on - it looked very defensive. And he looked to be using his "superpower" of finding baddies on the first day (he was right in Star Wars, granted), but it looked forced. More observation needed, and now that the thread has slowed down considerably, I may be able to accomplish this. But my vote won't go there today, as it's a tenuous suspicion at the moment. Also, I agree with his vote, so...there's that.
I think he sounds more like he did in A World Reborn-- not sure how I feel about that yet.

That was spoken night 0. While people were getting pretty anti-Rico by that point, I think the inclusion of Llama in there is noteworthy when you hadn't even been cursed yet, and llama hadn't really done much aside from calling sig fluffy and attacking Mac/defending Rico in the big argument. Based on my last game with Dom, I remember him actually jumping the gun a little bit after Chatzy discussion (near the end of the game trying to win over fingersplints), and him throwing llama's name out there in an either-or for two of the eventual poll leaders is a red flag for me. I'll bump him down to orange in my rainbow as well.
I'm not sure what you're saying here. Could you clarify?
Basically, I thought you were calling things too early. It was still day 0 when you made that post, and there wasn't as much reason to vote for llama (you were doing it apparently because you thought he was giving Rico a pass and Mac not). Now we know Rico was town, and Mac I feel worse about by the hour, so I don't think that helps. I think you had planned ahead of time with others to discredit llama, or saw teammate's plans to do so, and sort of anticipated one of the smaller counter-wagons against Rico as a result.
But I voted Rico. My post there was about inconsistency-- not about the actual content of the post I was critiquing.

RIP sig

Second Day in a row Tranq votes late and on the lynch train.

Fuzz missed his vote.

In addition, DH, Dom, Juliets, Mac, Blooper are also 2/2 on mislynches now.

Discuss.

Tranqs behaviour is starting to give me uncomfortable tingles. When Tranq plays a game he invests himself. If he's not investing in the thread it makes me think he's invested in BTSC.
This is how he was in AWR in the beginning too. He picks up his participation later in the game. This is a bit strange from you since you hosted that game and would know that!
This connection rings true to me. I'm not 100% sure it's right, but it does look similar to Tranq's play in AWR.

This, except that we'll be dead long before the sun actually explodes (is it even predicted to go supernova? I thought it was the type of star that grows then fizzles).
It won't supernova, it would need more mass. It will grow and shrink several times as it exhausts more and more elements to fuse in its core. Eventually it will become a red giant, and our planet will be vaporized. then, it will shrink down to a white dwarf star. Quite sad.

Off the top of my head, the rebuttals in which I actually blended flipping out with actually having an issue with the casemakin' were towards LoRab and juliets. I felt LoRab plainly picked up others' suspicion, which is uncharacteristic of her. I was also genuinely confused by how juliets can suspect LoRab for the things she is also doing (working with other players' material). Tranq's EoD felt very shady, tbh. I could add Dom's wagoning in the mix perhaps, but thing is Dom's D1 has been docile, and that doesn't show up in my baddie reads of Dom. I probably partly influenced him to take such an approach, but it is what it is now.
You didn't influence me to be busier than normal. :p

I'm not a fan of sig's speculation of seemers. We have no reason to suspect that there are seemers yet.


Anyway, I'm gonna vote for sig now. I'm still busy guys and doing my best. Anyone who plays with me knows that I don't like phoning it in like this.

This is exactly why I did not read MAc's post in a positive light.
I don't believe that you could actually form a scum read based on something so weak? A fake scum read sure, but a genuine one no. I have no problem saying I am a civilian when I am not one. Lying is something I do well when I am bad. By this logic anytime someone defends themself by addressing the logic without adding an "I am x alignment" post-script you would scum read them, which I don't believe to be true.
I said I didn't read it in a civ light. I didn't say I wanted to lynch you. You are jumping to conclusions-- just like I'd imagine a baddie would.

Anyway, my NY trip is going well. Saw Hamilton last night, seeing Fun Home and Spring Awakening today. Won't be around much. RIP Rico, but maybe you can be a little more productive in death.
