The name's Sloonly. Lyle Sloonly. And I come before you good people tonight with an idea. Probably the greatest... Ahhh, it's not for you. It's more of a MafCafe idea.

I do not dislike the vote on 112 and this feels like the right move for the game at this point, but if we had more than 15 minutes left in the day, I'd be trying to drum up support for a hollowkatt wagon tomorrow.
For Day 5, regardless of 112's flip.

Re: Game of Champions 2020 [Day 4]
I like this thought. I was reading the thread sequentially during my wall post earlier, and I also have a fairly vivid memory of the moment in real time (I was angry, you see), so I generally remember who was here and who was not, but I didn't really take notice of any trends like this.Hyena wrote: ↑Wed Feb 24, 2021 6:38 pm This might be a scenario where timestamps of posts might be useful to look at, particularly around the time when folks started realizing you were silenced. For those that were around at that time, a significant gap/slowdown in posts in someone's ISO during that period, especially if that someone was posting at a faster pace beforehand, might indicate that they were hesitant to react to it? I might go and check for that later when I finally wake myself up more.

Re: Game of Champions 2020 [Day 4]
I had the thought earlier that if hk and jpic really do have nearly identical roles, it is unlikely they are the same alignment, or they're both third party or something. But now that hollowkatt has clarified a bit, I no longer feel like the roles are all that similar. What I understand of hk's role is not necessarily a town ability. The same can be said of what we know about JPIC's role, unless I'm missing something.

More or less confirmed in thread by 112 and grapefruit.Star are you seriously suggesting that Focus has picked out people who are PRs AND that this group has somehow identified each other enough to vote as a block without anyone else noticing?
That's some next level tinfoil

Re: Game of Champions 2020 [Day 4]
Yeah, that's mostly what I was doing.Hyena wrote: ↑Wed Feb 24, 2021 6:13 pmI didn't at the time. I just assume that everyone's going to have their own reaction to it regardless of alignment. For example, I laughed when I noticed it if only because I thought I was free from getting pushed on for a while. Other people may be have been confused, but not necessarily -- like, maybe mafia just assumed that we had some sort of silencing role, too? Thus, I don't know if it's a good idea to broadly look for a specific reaction (not saying that you did). You'd have to go though, player by player, to see their individual reaction and judge it based on their specific meta. Does that make any sense?Sloonei wrote: ↑Wed Feb 24, 2021 6:07 pmDo you have any thoughts, even just generally, about how the mafia team might have reacted to my silencing on Day 2?Hyena wrote: ↑Wed Feb 24, 2021 6:06 pmI was actually townreading Long Con. I wasn't ready to get into an argument about why Long Con is town, so I intentionally didn't comment on it. I was happy to see that you concluded that I'm town from it though! But yeah, I didn't really see the same stiffness that you saw in reaction to you being silenced.
I think the mafia team, generally speaking, would have been more caught off guard by it simply because they were not responsible for it, and I'm not somebody you'd expect to be targeted by an ability like that from anyone who's not on the mafia team. I would expect them to be a little less quick to react to it, and just follow the leads of whatever civilians were around at the time. It's way I think Made looks so good there: he was the first one to really start reflecting on what it meant at the time. I think you look good because your response was so lighthearted. Long Con's response was troubling because he just seemed to not know how to react at all. I noticed a similar response from Nanook later on.

My understanding of kyle's "mech info" on LC is that it is vague, so I won't take it to the bank, but it is worth being mindful of. Same with the Tetris thing. That definitely helps LC's case more than it hurts.

I would not call it a "wall on Long Con", it was a wall in which Long Con came out looking not great. But then everyone told me he was pseudo-mech cleared immediately after.

@everyone, what do we make of hollowkatt’s claim here?
two abilities relying on bets seems like busywork for the hosts, especially when the only result for one of the claims is a vest for the night
idk if there being two identical claims shades HK, since he was the first to reveal it, and I'm not sure Epi and Dunya would give fake claims to wolves that are recycled from the actual town powers lol
Mafia JPIC counterclaiming town hollowkatt’s role in a closed role madness setup is also bizarre.

This is all I could find in the conversation of Kyle clearing LC. It is not nothing, and I am wary of asking kyle to reveal more details about his role than he already has. But I am unclear on the extent to which we should be regarding this as confirmation that Long Con town.

Re: Game of Champions 2020 [Day 4]
I put on my fancy scum hunting crown and feel stoked to have caught big bad LC and then y'all are immediately just like "actually he's mech cleared." Can you at least hang my work up on the fridge and tell me you're proud of me?

Re: Game of Champions 2020 [Day 2]
Taking a quick look at Early Day 2 and the conversation around me before and after it was noticed that I'd been silenced.
Unsurprisingly, both Mac and nutella come out on Day 2 with a bit of sloonei tinfoil. We do not have nutella's role, but she is presumed town. So these are both more or less legitimate suspicions and there is zero reason to believe that either of them would have any indication that I'd been silenced. Just noting this for the sake of thread progression.
Hyena pokes at the suspicion first. Regardless of alignment, Hyena should not know I am silenced at this point so that is not a factor. The prods here are fairly straightforward, and definitely meant to goad Mac into further Sloonfoil. That is not necessarily a bad thing, but my prickly self-preservation doesn't like it much. Meh.
The second post is an observation that can be genuine, but I again don't like it. But I am the target of the suspicion, and I have a tendency to judge things more harshly when they are directed at me.Made gets the wagon on me rolling. I think I was moving my vote around by this point, but no one had taken notice. On its own, this isn't much. But I think Made will say a few things later on that demonstrate a civilian mindset. Teasing some townie points for Made.
112 is the first to notice my silence, because my vote is on them (I was cycling through all the top options on the poll because they're the most visible). I'm not in love with the way these thoughts come out in two separate posts. The elaboration in Post #2 feels like the result of nerves at the optics of calling me out in Post #1. Not the best look for 112.
Michelle quietly jumps on the Sloonei wagon. Noted.
Mac and nutella respond to the news that I've been silenced by suggesting that I am scum and this was a gambit to help clear me somehow. Silly, but they are both town and this was just their way of processing the information. Fun fact: I chucked my phone away in annoyance when I read nutella's post here!
Michelle immediately backs off the Sloonei wagon after sliding onto it a few minutes earlier. I don't think this is a bad look.
Made immediately starts trying to figure out why this happened. This post is simple and doesn't reveal much. The townie points are on their way though.
Long Con's response is a bit stiff, rigid. He clearly did not know or expect that I would be silenced, but rather than suggesting confusion or an inclination to understand, he just makes a bland comment about my response to it. This is the forum mafia equivalent of saying "um uh um" when you're unsure what to say in a conversation.
"Well, Wolf Sloonei sure as heck didn't silence himself, I can tell you that much!" - Long Con. He's not Wrong Con, but I got beef again. Admittedly, some of this beef is colored by my response to the previous post, which I think looks like a player caught totally off guard by the news of my silencing. If Long Con is mafia, he knows A) that I am not also mafia, and B) that I have not agreed to a self-silencing, and C) his team's silencer just died, so there presumably should not be any silenced players in the game at all. A Mafia LC would presume points A and B (and possibly also C) to be obvious to everyone, but a few civilians (nutella, mac, probably Made) have been unable to arrive at the conclusion so easily. But LC, thinking it obvious, blurts out that I am unlikely to be a member of the mafia team who has agreed to a self-silence. This after being unable to produce a meaningful response to the news in the moment, possibly because he knows his team's only access to a silencing ability just got chopped on Day 1. These last two posts are a bad look for LC.
Hyena makes light of my silencing due to my constant hounding of him on Day 1. Gut tells me this is too carefree of an attitude for a mafia member to be displaying in this situation.
Here's where Made starts to earn his townie points. This is a very specific point about why my silencing is not sensible. This looks very much like a confused civilian trying to make sense of a bizarre new development, and how it fits into the game as a whole.
We interrupt Made's prolific pondering to bring you LC still having nothing to say.
Contrary to LC having nothing to say, here is Made arriving at the conclusion that no theory about my silencing makes sense, but only after demonstrating his fairly nuanced thought process. He is also not wrong.
Jack, another confirmed townie, is the first to point out that the silencer is dead.
And Made posits the role recycler theory. He is once again not wrong.
Nutella is the first to suggest a mafia backup, so... a lot of the major points that I was looking for here were introduced by players we already know/presume to be town. Hooray. At least I've gotten solid LC and Made reads out of the exercise.
I have no idea what Hyena is talking about here RE: Mac, but I don't know if I see this post coming from a mafier here.
Nanook also gets the news late, and doesn't seem to know how to respond. This is not too dissimilar to Long Con's response. We know nanook was bad.
JPIC suggests I targeted a passive silencer. A new theory to the fold. This is one that could come from either alignment. It exists.
Tim arrives late as well, but doesn't waste time trying to get to the bottom of it. Post #1 is seeking information, and Post #2 is a thoughtful question based on his own previous experience with being silenced on The Syndicate. Not a bad look for Tim.
tl;dr: Long Con looks bad. Made looks good. 112 might look a little bad.
[VOTE: Long Con] aubergine
and with that i'll turn the mic back over to my cool, laid back compadre.
