We begin now. You must quote my call-out posts so it's easier to count. You may only declare "good" or "bad" for each player. No neutrals or nulls allowed or else.

Let's go. Click your refresh buttons. Get to it.

He had to add all this bullshittery into it to make it sound more insightful when he's actually saying the exact same thing with 2 cups of I know how mafia is played on a macro level please believe.

to quote a chocolatey treat i once read ....."YUCK"

This might be my favorite post in the thread. Good one, rey.

I'm lazy about mafia right now, and could really benefit from someone squeezing reads out of me.

Then you should provide them. I will squeeze.

Two people you trust and two people you don't trust: go.

Sloonei's standing has improved. POE continues to tighten around the necks of those who would try to kill us all.

Jackofhearts2005 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 19, 2019 1:05 pmI’m also not going and finding follow up posts when someone tells me Nova’s first post looks authentic.

nova's follow-up came 29 minutes after the original post, and is only a slight scroll down the page. I don't know how you see the one-liner and then miss the paragraph without having no interest in getting reads.

Jackofhearts2005 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 19, 2019 12:50 pmSo because I don’t think Speedchuck saying “Hullo guys” is town indicative, it must be because I know he’s actually scum?

It "must"n't be anything. I don't care about "must". Within the framework of a theory in which you and speedchuck are both mafia members, yes that is the case.

Jackofhearts2005 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 19, 2019 12:50 pmI’m mindful about why Speedchuck is suspicious because you said you suspected Speedchuck and didn’t tell me why so I went to look for what he said that was suspicious. If I’m scum with Speedchuck, I don’t particularly give a damn about what makes him suspicious until someone else points it out because if nobody does, I wouldn’t have to react to it.

What mafia "have" to do and what they "actually" do form a Venn diagram which is much closer to a sideways 8 than a circle.

You know, I do a lot better when Jimmy isn’t death tunneling me.

If you're a civilian, I don't matter. Find the mafia.

I believe that you thought it was a joke. That doesn't make me feel great about your mindset when reading page one though.
Name a single game I have ever played with you where I wasn’t joking in my early posts, where I’m seriously down to business scumhunting on D0 and expecting Nova of all people to be doing the same.

This has absolutely nothing to do with Jackofhearts2005 telling jokes. That is irrelevant. This is a matter of novaselinenever and your perception of his post. After he had both made that post and expanded on his rationale, you still assumed he was joking. That suggests to me that you weren't really reading the posts to any thoughtful depth as necessary to play Mafia as an uninformed civilian -- even on the first page.

What precisely drives your belief in my belief?
The time investment. It's not much of a joke if you don't actually believe it.
wot wood u say m8 if I told you 'at moi only real ping of the game so far 'as come from speedchuck?
I would say your accent is horrendous. Is it because Speedchuck's accent is worse? Or the Nutella push? I think it's the Nutella push.

He was already mindful of reasons why speedchuck might be viewed with suspicion, but he didn't say it himself until I provided the platform.

speedchuck wrote: ↑Tue Feb 19, 2019 10:44 amI don't buy that Jack actually thinks I've buddied Jay. Fake reason. Bleg.

This reads no better than Jack's accusation did.

"JJJ is acting like town JJJ"

I... don't think so?

Jack lobbed up a big juicy pile of quotes with the implication "you're being a hypocrite", and speedchuck wimpered this ellipsis/question mark timidness.

Jack and speedchuck are both mafia.

I have some thoughts about your assertions of nova buddying me, speedchuck, but I want him to respond before I do.

What is nova’s “normal play”?

On my phone now so I’ll drop some bullets:

~ When he involved himself in the busy thread I wasn’t left feeling any impression (and neutrality is a negative for him to me).

~ His suspicion of you reads kinda fake right now.

~ His initial response to my suspicion was less than weak.

~ He isn’t holding up the standard we’ve set for the game pace, and slackchuck isn’t getting a break.

I already did. Something smelled fishy when I was catching up. I sensed a lot of energy moving in one direction coming from a lot of folks, but then Jack’s posts did not seem to be in sync with that energy. He seemed to be moving against it.

Is this what the crystals and incense tell you?

(I don't disagree. It's a vague description, but it resonates with me anyway. Something feels off there. I get a similar impression to a greater degree from speedchuck.)

nutella wrote: ↑Tue Feb 19, 2019 2:19 amAhh I was thinking of his assertion that Nova's first post about sabie was a joke.

I see. Yes that's a goofy moment for the Jack o' lantern. Given that nova explained the suspicion (and rendered it clearly a serious one) and Jack apparently missed that or interpreted it as an expansion of the joke (eh?) it implies Jack was only hardly reading the entry material -- not ideal.

Sloonei wrote: ↑Tue Feb 19, 2019 2:10 amThe Grand Unified Theory of Mafia (GUT M) is whacke because a mafia member will tout any suspicion that might remotely smell viable in an early game situation when finding themself in an environment which is already otherwise filled with kooky postulations. One must look the part.

Bob from the colonies over here is not producing an original idea, but he is running with an independent suspicion of the player most invulnerable to suspicion. No harm can come of it and he appears bold and open-minded for floating it. I will maintain a healthy skepticism.

Bleh. Whaddya mean "no harm can come of it"?
