nijuukyugou wrote: ↑Wed Feb 28, 2018 6:35 pm Fuck it. sig's all over the place. I'm re-reading interactions between him and Sloonei, and he's floundering like crazy. He might be weird, but not usually floundery. I want to have more time to look at the Lorab comparison before I make an uninformed vote in her direction. Pulling the trigger and vote sig. (Did I do that right? Friggin' tags.)
I'm not floundering? I'm just not playing super seriously yet, taking a more laid back approach. I also have very little to say atm, don't have many strong reads. ect

Someone mentioned me flipflopping on Sloonie or something, I think I explained that reasoning very well.

nijuukyugou wrote: ↑Wed Feb 28, 2018 6:26 pm Mmmmk so my thought process is this from reading so far:

Sloonei takes suspicion for coming out Sloonei (guns a'blazin', that is) and for flip-flopping a lot. This thought crossed my mind as big fat WIFOM, but I'm thinking he's good and doing the civ thing right now. We don't have enough being said to not play around with words and cast suspicion in places for reaction gauges, so this appears more civ than bad. And it stands out.

sig is being weird and avoiding a lot of simple questions. Is there something else I'm missing? Or are people latching on to whatever weirdness they can get? I totally understand if so, but if that's all it is, I'm not inclined that way, either.

Lorab is, according to Jack, apparently acting like she does when she's bad? How so?

Ugh. Votes and decisions. It's amazing I'm able to play this game at all.

I don't recall ignoring any questions?

Also since Speed was lynched and revealed does that mean he's died twice? Since I seem to recall it saying you don't flip on your first lynch.

sig, your last few posts are talking about what could be happening in the other thread as opposed to what's going on here in the one you can post. What's your current read on Sloonei?

insertnamehere wrote: ↑Wed Feb 28, 2018 7:28 pm First off, I'd like to direct as many people as possible to what could be my magnum opus in terms of mafia posting, where I took a post explaining my complicated stance on Sloonei, (warily reading as town, but definitely not taking my eyes off of him) ran it through an insanifier, and sang the results into my phone. I then spent twenty minutes in Garageband making whatever the hell this is:

SLOONEI {INH REMIX}

insertnamehere, your Sloonei mix was beautifully crafted, but you've offered nothing since Day 2 except to call attention to your musical work. How do you feel about Sloonei now?

[mention]insertnamehere[/mention] where you at? I haven't seen a post from you yet today, and you even wrote a song yesterday.

Boomslang, who're you voting for today?

Why do you require a read on yourself from nijuu?

Actually, that means he and nijuukyugou are equally in that boat. But Scotty is the one talking about it.

[VOTE: Scotty] aubergine

If what you muse about is correct Scotty, that means you have a higher likelihood of being anti-town than any other player in this thread.

Scotty wrote: ↑Sat Mar 03, 2018 12:06 pm Game balance thought:

Golden has said the tribes are randomly split- whether or not that incorporates mafia randomly splitting or not is to be seen. If so, and they’re all over here, then garshnoodawump.

But a bigger dilemma lies in the 2nd role payout. The rules state that if a mafia member dies in the 1st role, then they retain their win condition. But this isn’t necessarily the reverse...which means it should be no surprise that a dead civ in the first role can then become mafia. This brings up a lot of questions balance-wise that I’m sure golden has accounted for:
-would this influx be accounted for in the beginning?
-Does it even iself out towards end game?
-Would the 2nd role iteration be a separate mafia faction?

If there are, say, 4 mafia split between 23 people with 2-3 indies thrown in for extra measure, that seems like a pretty good 2nd Role split.
So where do the 1st role alignments stand? Are there perhaps 3 mafia at the beginning with the potential for a guaranteed mafia member to be recruited via their second life? And what if there were just as many civs as indies in 1st role? So like 7-8 LMS roles where if you die it’s like ‘oh well, I tried, now I’m a fucking stump.’
I don’t foresee 2 different mafia teams, but weirder things have happened. So far we haven’t even seen alignments and won’t for some time unless we (nijuu and I) are lynched.

So I’m broadening my horizons here with this 2 life mechanic. I think there are less mafia now to make up for an addition of 1-2 more along the way. There’s no real way of knowing from one role to the other aside from good ole fashioned vote analysis and tonal discrepancies.
I don’t see is having a serial killer type role yet, seeing as 2 night’s Gabe gone by with only one kill apiece. I’m not sure a SK would have kept it in their pants this long (maybe I’m wrong). This is NOT to say that an SK won’t be assumed in the 2nd Role phase..this might also be a balancing mechanism to outweigh a burgeoning mafia team of, say, 5.

It’s going to be quite unfulfilling to have to wait through all these roles being killed without alignment shown.

I disagree, if civilians can become mafia, then I would imagine there are at least two mafia teams, almost like a recruitment game of sorts.

But that's a big IF.

I imagine more that the alignment of your second role is dependent on what the actual role is. From a game balance perspective, it makes sense that any mafia member who dies will return as mafia, so maybe a civilian ==> indy, or vice versa is possible.

Huh.

I don’t buy it.

Maybe nijuu is now a silencer?

Yeah I think looking his way may not be a bad idea. I will admit I might be tunneling on LoRab a bit. It’s what I do. Choo choo.

On one hand, INH went above and beyond making the best of his insanity but that definitely could have been a guise. I would definitely like to hear more from him.

I mean shit, id love to hear from everyone. You ever feel like you’re in an echo chamber, Sloonei.

Lol, Scotty said the same thing I did.

RIP Scotty, you were the blurst of us.

Were you a member of the mafia before? Are you now?

RE: ninja’s thought that we may not be all bad-
Highly doubt it, that would be a rough structure and highly unfair I feel. Golden knows what he’s doing with the structure.

ninja dying N1 gives me no hope in that regard- the only other option is a vigi but honestly that was a bad choice for a vigi shot if so.

Nah, there’s at least an SK or what have you.

I heart you too Scotty.

That's a good point.

If there's one mafia team split between two threads, I guess it wouldn't be that surprising?

I don’t think INH is blendy. I’ve played maybe 3 games with Lorab and have no real feel for their meta cause they’re usually pretty quiet and/or die early. I don’t feel like mislynching Sig or Wilgy again. I’ll let the Sig suspicion ride. I see no reason to vote Blooper or Boomslang, both of whom I believe are town.

Scotty feels like town Scotty. Idk if I’ve seen bad Scotty though so this may be a worthless statement. I’ll still put him green on the board.
