I also find it odd WIlgy missed the vote, if MP does end up being mafia I'd like to look into lynching Wilgy.

Its day 1. What more convincing articles could you have for day 1?

And "the people who voted zebra" are...just me. Can I help you with your eyes?

Meta is like a Jackson Pollack painting. Easy to imitate with a cat, a can of paint and a few tequilas. Relying on metas, especially on day 1, is hugely unreliable unless that person is predictable to a T. And Wilgy is fully capable of churning out CHRISTMAS in July.

I'm not sure what you asked me; as stated before, am working and skimming like a motherfucker so I don't get fired over a mafia game.

I don't understand why moving pictures is getting votes. Epignosis's case is that his tier lists are more nuanced as town but expecting a nuanced reads list in this fluff/lurk fest is equivalent to expecting an ocean in the desert.

Well I was talking about the very thing you're not doing, which is your assumed tendency to finish thoughts soundly. That you are skimming is what I assumed you didn't like doing, but I understand real life commitments. I'm mostly just picking your brain on your playstyle, so just let me know when you have time to get back to me. (I'm assuming nights will be unlocked)

I like dog's entrance. (Note that my phone routinely likes to change his name to "dog" or "sog"). I don't like zebra's entrance. And motel room is playing very minimally and I don't mind the case against him, but zebra will be getting my vote if she doesn't check in today.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME. Sig sig sig this mothafuckin phone is sneaky

Don't do it, you wind up with five bottles on the grass and a gash in your hand and a hangover at work today.

what's your read on long con?

This is a super weird post by motel room.


Also it is to god damn early to be playing Christmas music, this is what's wrong with our country! Christmas music before Thanksgiving.

eveey damn day my gf smells cinnamon or hears bells or imagines little elves and turns to me going "It's Christmas!"

No. no, it's not, honey. At least let the pilgrims have their day this month.

Hey @nacho you conveniently skipped my questions to you. Do you have any response at all to what I said?

I'm overloading the tread with crap, sorry y'all. I just landed a few hours ago and feel like a kid on a candy store with all this free phone service.

Hey Snow Dog, what's up buddy? Are you bad?

Bad to the bone!

No, are you?

What do you think about MM's claim to have been sent the wrong role?

Why do you think that MM's claim about being sent the wrong role has anything to do with his alignment?

Yeah, I think MM was just flirting with the Day 1 Lynch Fairy to grant him a wish again

Long Con wrote:Ok, Items... specifically the ones which can be bought, Bananas and Grog. Can more than one be bought at once? If Stan gets the Shovel, then he'll have 30 Po8 (Pieces of Eight). Can he immediately spend 28 Po8 and buy fourteen Grog (at half price) and slam them down on a player, ensuring their lynch? Maybe even better, he could buy a bunch of Bananas, and save them for a rainy day, and never get lynched. It doesn't look like there's any lynch shenanigans among the baddies, so it's all Bananas and Grog.

What exactly do the Pirate Leaders know? What is there that Civvies and/or Cannibals do not know? Maybe they get to know when someone buys something, or the details of Stan's dealings or Carla's fight results.

Are the Men of Low Moral Fibre just vanilla baddies (with BTSC)?

Head of the Navigator - What does it mean to be invisible to ghosts? Just that LeChuck can't kill you?

Stan - His role says he can "offer players 2 pieces of eight for an item which they must trade to him." They must. Does that mean he can force the Head of the Navigator to sell his Necklace for 2 Po8? Does Stan have to know they possess the item, asking for a specific one, or is he more like a thief who pays 2 Po8 for whatever they have?

Meathook - Does he get some sort of info every night?

That's all for now. Host questions look like this.

Some of these questions seemed forced. Like 'What exactly do the pirate leaders know?"
Umm, might as well be asking how many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie pop. Only that damned owl knows, and that's how it's gonna be.

"Are the MoLMF just vanilla" - come on man, what are you really hoping to learn from that question?
I don't mind asking questions, and actually think the others aren't bad, but in a game with secrets, those aren't just clarification, those are obviously omitted for a reason. I trust llama would reveal what he wanted to reveal originally.

I mistakenly thought that BWT was the only one that hadn't posted, and from a cursory glance it looks like sig and zebra haven't even checked in the thread yet.

And dog has even been around apparently, without posting.

So I like the cut of your jib jab (or however that phrase goes).

You mentioned earlier that you are trying to weed out like 50% of the pool to give you a better idea of who to vote for in day 1 for some sort of POE (I think that was you), and now you've probably settled on motel room. Do you usually find yourself voting for someone who seems ingenuine as like a tone thing, or who doesn't soundly defend their actions? Just by your tone it feels like the latter, like I used to banter with my lawyer uncle about the anti-establishment in government.

You also seem like MP in that these sort of semantic arguments need a profound conclusion or else you'll subtly threaten to post more until that conclusion is reached and you get the last word in. Am I right in that assumption?

I'm asking because I think I am going to be a different player than you in that I often operate under the assumption that not all answers will be given and so I take my crossword puzzle to the bathroom to think through things while I sit on my throne of thinking.

Hey @llama!!

Is it possible to get a player post history hyperlinked in the 1st page please? pretty pls

Canada kicked my ass in extra cell charges. And Delta lost my luggage. Again. But I'm back in the states and ready to party

Hello to Snowdog and Nacho! Nice to meet you!
My coworker's jack russel is named Nacho and he sort of fits the description that you have yourself: won't stop jumping up my leg until you get the answer (or in his case, food) you want. I like it.

I've caught up and as usual, semantic arguments are abound on day 1. Quin pulled a move that I would normally expect MM to do, which is quite WIFOMy. It doesn't look intentional and I feel like it is being blown out of proportion as an action with deceptive intent. I ain't never seen Quin's baddie game so who knows what goes on in his head.

Soneji brings up a good reminder that mafia would probably view voting as an annoyance, and this got me thinking: in precious games, I would usually never analyze day 1 votes in the grand scheme of things because- and this is mostly for a mislynch, which is most likely due to the odds of the game and minimal information- votes are prone to being tone reads only, and. It because of previous voting. Unless a baddie was lynched day 1, and we could analyze if anyone attempted a soft defense or subtly changed train directions, votes are farts in the wind. 'Mac sneezed, so I'm voting him', 'Scotty is voting low posters, so he bad', 'Boom is too bombastic to be civ' - I dunno.

I guess what I'm saying is analyzing why someone voted the way they did on day 1 is a crapshoot and gets us nowhere. If someone votes early and doesn't have their vote- the only weapon a civ has in the game- is it a behavior a baddie would employ? I think on day 1, no. But I also don't think someone like Quin should be given civ cred either. He admitted he wasn't thinking of the consequences. Let's move on.


Someone guess how I'm voting today?

And everyone except BWT has checked in (but that's no surprise I guess). I don't think I'll vote for BWT because I know that's his status quo.

Wilgy, would you lick Grog?
Grog sounds like that shit that gets lodged in your eye after a long night of sleep.

dude I haven't played since silver/gold, then my gf let me borrow her Pokémon Y and her DS and I haaaaated that game. I could write a 40 page treatise on why that generation sucks, but I'm gonna spare you. It makes me really nervous to play the new one (gf'd gonna play moon and I'm gonna play sun on my shiny new DS). I'm in the midst of playing Alpha Sapphire right now, which is INFINITELY better than Y. I just hope this new generation goes back to its roots and doesnt pander to 5 year olds and force feed some super harmony bullsuit.

Hello everyone. My name is DrWilgy and I am most definitely a smash player.

I have not checked my role nor do I plan to. I will, however, assist townies in their plight.

You don't ever plan to? I mean, I take my time getting to it, but ruh roh raggy I wouldn't go in blind altogether.

Man, I would hate to be on your team if I were bad.

Yeah I confused. Where does Monkey come into this?

Will check my role in a bit
