I think I know why he felt that way. One needn't even have a read on RDW. To trust sig at all and have no clue about RDW implies that sig is more trusted than RDW. Then when the latter is asking for a killing role, well, it makes sense.

BTSC exists.

Y'all inject the WIFOM straight into your blood vessels.

it's not really wifom, calling him out itt even if they're teammates isn't hard to believe tbh.

Is there any good reason to believe it? Is it a better theory than "nutella is a civilian and doesn't know what rabbit is, and doesn't want him screwing her faction over if he takes too long"?

I was pinged by his eagerness to receive a killing role, but a lot of that was contingent on Dunya's influence and.... Dunya has already slid into her standard role of out-posting everyone 3 times over.

I'm not sure what you mean by this. You were pinged by his pursuit of a killing role, depending upon exactly what from dunya?

Also, I don't think farting around in Day 0 to keep it going is likely to provide a benefit to the mafia team.

I've asked you my questions. I am not going to devour this exquisite game thread in one lengthy exchange. I have formed my perspective on the matter, and before I proceed I want other people to discuss what is one of the few hunting-relevant conversations in the thread.

Now it’s like 7 (?) years later and it’s like y’all have been training in the gym every day since while I’ve been eating Cheetos on a sofa.

While you're right to observe that my beautiful, bulging Mafia pecs are glistening with the sweat of countless hours of training, you needn't let that stop you from bringing sweet justice to those who would try to fucking kill you.

rundontwalk wrote: ↑Fri Feb 09, 2018 5:34 pm Do you think dunya is town because you "trust" her or, better answer, because you have analyzed her posts and compared to historical record?

If you said she was town because you "trust" her that would be horrifying​

When Epignosis expressed trust for sig, do you think he was pulling that out of his ass?

I called dunya a civilian. Is she my mafia teammate?

rundontwalk wrote: ↑Fri Feb 09, 2018 5:25 pm Day 1 is of course the worst day to put full trust in anyone because I am towngod rdw and why trust people who aren't proven

Trust is for end of game when it's you and two other guys and you're the deciding vote.

What do you propose we do? Flail our arms in infinite paranoia and suspicion until that elusive proof arrives, neatly wrapped with a bow on top?

How would we ever derive town reads?

I will lynch you at my earliest convenience.

sig wrote: ↑Fri Feb 09, 2018 3:00 pm I disagree with you Jay that high post count = civ dunya.

1 - Okay. Everybody has WIFOM-phobia and no matter how often I am right about these things I will always hear arguments.

2 - It isn't merely that she has a high post count. It is contextual. She didn't even want to play another game.

dunya wrote: ↑Fri Feb 09, 2018 3:01 pm I agree with the first point, I don't agree with the second though. If an RYMer was selected, I definitely feel they'd include unfamiliar members; they definitely wouldn't build a team of 5 RYMers. Similarly, if a Syndicator was selected, they would include unfamiliar RYMers between them. Anything else would be foolish imo.

I don't think they'd build a team of 5 RYMers either. I would anticipate a subconscious or conscious bias though. Maybe that'd amount to 3-2 RYM-TS. Maybe not. I don't care to engage in the WIFOM. The first point is more important.

She is the latter, and she is more than an enthusiast. She never passes on that particular lunch.

In the civilian direction.

Agreed I'm already sick of myself.

I trust sig. He's getting the role he wants provided he can locate one soon.

You trust sig?

They're on the same team obvies, but how do they know that

They're mafia teammates because one guy stated trust for another guy on Day 1?

Supertown Jimmy awards rundontwalk negative points for this absurdity.

I dunno about that. I know there's nothing quite like a scum game to ensure a high post count for me. Plus, this is a very exciting game, so of course she has a high post count. After all, I'm here.

Supertown Jimmy does not know either. It is not to be known. One makes a judgment given the visible data. What is your judgment of dunya?

Supertown Jimmy shall make a meta-judgment of mafia team selection probabilities given the following assumptions:

~~~> If the don is a Syndicate regular, he or she will be unlikely to select players who are frequently lynched on The Syndicate or exposed in POE pools.

~~~> If the don is not a Syndicate regular, he or she is slightly less likely to select unfamiliar players.

If accepted together, these premises would favor sig, DrWilgy, and Marmot.

@ColinIsCool

You have been randomly selected to start the draft.

Please choose another player from the player list (post 1) and pick a role from the draft list (post 3) for them. You must make your choice by posting it to this thread.

Once Colin gives someone a role, whoever that player is should give a third person a role, who should give a role to a fourth person and so on. Colin will get the last role that is left over.

For the draft portion of the game only, you (and by you, I mean everyone but probably Dunya) may contact other players outside of this thread to let them know that it is their turn to draft.

Posts occurring before this point are to be discarded. There is no way to know at what point the mafia team came into its fullest existence except that it came before this point. Supertown Jimmy has marked its location for future reference.

Jay is mafia confirmed

I'm not sure what to make of this overconfident and arrogant Jay yet. Jay knows his worth as a civilian, and I know that he knows that everyone else knows he is being almost sincere when he names himself one of the, if not the, greatest asset town has, so I'm leaning civ? but scared of wiofm. Come on Jay, it's a slow ass Day 0. Wanna play GTH?

What incredible fool would dare place a gun at the head of a Mafia god? Who would attempt to threaten the safety of the transcendent player of our generation? Supertown Jimmy would enjoy a long and deep period of laughter at such idiotic behavior. He has hardly read the proceedings to this point, they are beneath him.

It is unsurprising that you would want to work alongside Supertown Jimmy, the greatest of the great, the amazing, the incredible, the one who changed the face of forum Mafia forever. Who wouldn't want to learn directly from a legend? It remains to be seen if you can even begin to comprehend his strategic brilliance. Those who have tried before you have proven thoroughly inadequate.

This feels like a Supertown Jimmy roleplay kind of game. Just for you, [mention]MacDougall[/mention].

Given that the mafia team has shown me the ultimate disrespect of non-inclusion, they have just one way of assuring I don't eat them for breakfast: kill me first.

gwilikers6 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 08, 2018 8:43 pm Does Colin get to pick his own role as well?

He gets the last role on the board.

I guess paladin because nutella called me lawful good.

I'll be in class, and it's a long evening ahead. Since I'm obviously going to be the first pick being the amazing legend that I am, you all might have to wait a bit.

All of these roles are for NERDS, so who cares!
