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.

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.
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.

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.

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.

Do you have any thoughts on it?
I 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.
Do you have any thoughts, even just generally, about how the mafia team might have reacted to my silencing on Day 2?
I 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?
Yeah, that's mostly what I was doing.

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.

Okay.

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.

@everyone, what do we make of hollowkatt’s claim here?
The abilities so far have been pretty usable, even if conditional

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
But on the other hand, it would be pretty wild for a mafia hollowkatt to make up a fake claim independently that so closely resembles a real town role in the game.

Mafia JPIC counterclaiming town hollowkatt’s role in a closed role madness setup is also bizarre.

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.

I feel as though I have been heavily involved in the progression of this game.

What reads do you have to share with us?
The ones i have.
@MacDougall You mentioned Cat might have been ruthlessly bussed and that Sloonei may be spewed wolf from Cat. Are you suggesting that Sloonei was one of the people ruthlessly bussing Cat? If so, why would they just get on the Cat wagon EoD yesterday instead of staying on me? o:

Sloonei i don't understand your question at all. Can you answer it first?
@Sloonei
I'm just asking what kind of mafia player you are. I believe this is our first time playing together (I hosted you in Simpsons, but did not follow that game super closely), so I'm just looking to understand what you're trying to do in this game right now, what sort of things you're looking for, etc.
OK that makes more sense, i thought you were telling me to do something.
I'm trying to catch up but i keep getting distracted by everything. I gave up on reading tutuu because i'm too lazy. When i read i skip memes and i look for people's thought process and trying to figure out how are they approaching the game. Hoping to vote out atleast 1 mafia this game.
That was a softball question from Sloonei compared to the questioning I got from him. XD And Cat still couldn't answer it without sounding awkward.
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.

Not bothered by the vote so much as him not posting when nute's doing this breakdown.
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.

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.

@Long Con

he has been here and moving his vote around
Ah, the telltale sign. Good indication, Sloon!
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.

Made wrote: Sun Feb 14, 2021 12:10 am Who silences Sloonei here? That’s such a bizarre move
I don't think wolf Sloonei would agree to a plan of silencing. I think wolf Sloonei would prefer to silence someone else, like either to frame them or to just silence them. Like he'd hit Joseph or something.
"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.

why?
Wagonomics are just off. Like, when we eventually realize we’re not chopping Sloonei today, we’re going to read what he’s said and see if there’s someone there to chop. A wagon might start there, but someone will eventually say whoever that is is “too easy”, and we’ll seriously consider chopping that person when Sloonei comes back tomorrow.

If Sloonei is town, then mafia is afraid of Sloonei preemptively when they should be afraid of someone like you, Mac—given yesterday’s result
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.

I think when I got muted in UPick it was announced in the thread. Is there any reason Sloonei would fake being muted, other than the obvious "wolf targets are town" assumptions that such fakery would produce?
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.
