Well played juliets. I'm always in safe hands when I'm on your team.

I thought about contacting the mod to ask motel room to not cross the line joking about the mentally disabled and pedophiles as it could alienate some of our player base. Joke would have definitely been on me!
Wimp. Stand up for your beliefs next time!
Mac and this game has taught me to never report anything to any figure of authority ever since they might try to kill me, instead I'll just lead a lynch mob against whom ever said something I disliked and kill them..........Will that hold up in court?

No.

Surely that movie is playing in the team bus.

I guess I'm not getting that rezz

Thanks for the heads up.

Have fun with the portal guys! See you next game.

I know what you mean, there is something about lap's avatar and even user name that just reads 'civ'.

She's basically the anti-Epignosis in that regard.

There were no signs of a struggle... is it possible juliets went willingly? Maybe she was offered something in return.

Playing a civilian game designed to make a mafia meta easier is the weakest of all weak sauce.

If you don't play some games for that purpose I reckon your mafia-ing wrong

That was my intention for this game before the option 6 debacle.

I wanna tell you “but that 8 choices only thing sucked” but we did lynch a baddie so I guess there’s nothing to complain about.

And people got reads on a bundle of people they weren't otherwise looking at at all.

Common wisdom sucks.

Did you say why you’re suspicious of the last 3? I’m curious.

Also, seeing as nova was modkilled right after this and was bad, well, that’s a terrific look for dog. I also liked the bottled up magic that was released like old faithful in your return, siggie my boy
I'm acting strange.

I like sig actively suspecting me. Makes me feel good about him.

Dunno. Gut. Maybe I feel like baddie sig would be cautious about taking me on.

Why is there anything inherently worse about voting sprit than kyle? Both were viable alternate wagons to lilefer for most of the day.

I do wish our site retained voting progression better. I think the best place to find teammates isn't so much where votes landed as when votes changed, and I was too busy to keep any kind of mental record of that.
I didn’t see the need for sprit to be voted for, and I feel like some people went out of their way to keep their votes there. I thought lil was a better option of the 2. You included, even though you were slightly handicapped

I found the logic that I saw of yours for why lil was better meaningless, unless there was more to it than ‘sprit will be modkilled’ when lil had been absent even longer.

Were there other reasons? Both were absent with zero content.

In all seriousness though, I see speed's statement as not a whole lot different from my statements against option 6 last time.

The truth is that he's not wrong about option 4, but what I failed to take into account yesterday (and shouldn't be taken into account today) is that generally speaking a lot of townies will simply vote for the one they think is most fun, best outcome be damned.

If we were to undertake a complex probability analysis, though - option 4 is obviously great.

I don’t like the obvious nodding and manipulation here. It’s like you’re trying to look as good as you can by vilifying everyone that doesn’t agree with you.

Maybe it's because he wrote the poll

But that was a poll with no good outcome in my book.

Jackofhearts2005 wrote: ↑Tue May 22, 2018 11:38 pm I'm going to go ahead and take credit for getting rid of Nova, too.

How, specifically, did you induce nova's non-participation?

Good work on lilefer. In my own read I couldn't have split him and sprit, both seemed to be non-contributors who were absent. Although I couldn't find a way to express it, the reason I went the way I did was the outside chance lilefer was silenced given he hadn't spoken since day 1.

I hope sprit comes back. I was upset that I couldn't express that my vote for him wasn't particularly meaningful and I hate that he feels like he isn't wanted. Was super-bummed how that went down.

(and yes, I checked. It was my fault not macs, he will have copied and pasted).

Or not.

Lunalee wrote: ↑Tue May 22, 2018 9:52 pm Golden did you write this poll too? I don't see "guacamole" as an option.

Telling me what to put is an open invite for anyone else who it might be to just say guacamole instead. An idea is pointless if somebody else can copy it. I demonstrated it's my poll my own way.

Kylemii wrote: ↑Tue May 22, 2018 10:16 pm @Golden which one's trapped?

None.

I learned my lesson. All polls will be solely as they appear from now on.

I voted number 2 because lulz. 4 is a good option though, but I'm also very conscious of having forced last nights debate on the poll to be uber-serious.

Also, number 2 evidences I made the poll, right?

U-Pick Mafia Volume 1
Welcome to U-Pick Mafia. Let's all have a great time and be nice to the host. Here's a sweet pic.

Rules:

1. Mostly standard TS rules with the additions of the below.
2. No roles are announced in this here post. People will claim them and what have you but I ain't confirming nuttin.
3. You are privy to the factions that are in this here game, but not their win cons.
4. Just play the game. Don't play out think the mod. I will mod-kill you.
5. If you are mod-killed just get out. Don't be a douche.
6. This is a meme game. Play it as such. I expect glorious quotes and many fun moments. That is the spirit of this game.
7. There are no vanillas. There are roles that can become vanilla and/or are passive but nobody starts pure nilla.
Spoiler: show
8. If anything is ambiguous just ask me and I will answer. It probably just means I haven't thought of it.
9. This is a bastard game. Don't get all upset when weird shit happens.
10. I will reveal the roles and alignments of the deceased. Most of the time.
11. It's okay to be a dick in this game but if you hurt someones feelings I will mod-kill you probably. Unless I don't.
12. If you don't contribute much I will mod-kill you probably.
13. My host posts gonna look like dis
14. We got the 48/24 thing happening.
15. I live in Australia so you might get some whack timezone situation you may just need to deal.
16. Pretty sure MP is the facilitator in this game. Given this is his site you best not piss him off.

FAQ:

Did you randomise the alignments?

Yes. In this game the players pre-selected their character, not their alignment or role. 100% of alignments were selected based on randomisation. No single player was specifically selected to a certain alignment. The roles were designed based on three factors: enjoyment of the player, flavour of the character and the alignment they rolled.

Factions:

In this game we have two scum teams, some rogues and some civs. I'm not gonna say how many of each or whatever. The faction names are:

Al-Pieda (Scum)
ISIS Cream (Scum)
Absolute Units (Civilian)
Civilians
Self-Aligned

Civ Role Card = You're just a civ. Do civ things.

This curse is funny tho

I mean, I don't necessarily think she did so deliberately, I think she was floundering around and just saying nonsense without thinking about what she actually meant because her perspective on dunya was 100% manufactured.

How’s that for the fastest turn around I’ve ever had
The reason is that when jay speaks everyone follows. Jay is like Thanos. The plan I had was gone at that point.
But the logic made sense. I think that it can be infuriating when civs follow jay blindly because he’s blunt and posts a lot of driving throughlines, but if the logic makes sense, then it’s not a blind following. I mean, maybe some people did. I dunno, I don’t wanna have to review everything I missed d1-N1, but y’all are making it hard :/

Which people go

"Oh yes, at a glance that logic makes sense"

And which people go

"Hang on, let me test that"

Admittedly I think the answer is more about emotive/rational rather than scum/town, but it's much easier for baddies to hide in the emotive. Following Jay was blind; he even called the 5 vs 3 lylo situation 'strongly town-leaning' and I proved it was the opposite. Jay's perspective was biased based on his own experience, and while he may not have moved as far as I have, even he has recognised it wasn't without it's flaws.

Ebwop no benefit if he were mafia

To be fair if I'm mafia I'm just afraid of option 6 as Jay and DDL claim mafia should be and I'm lying about it being booby trapped, right?

But luckily, I'm not mafia.

Truth be told, there's no value to me coming out swinging against any option and making myself such a big target, or outing myself, if I'm mafia.
