Re: Psych Mafia [END]

Hey BDH- good stuff my man! You are by my count the MVP of this game for the civs.

Cracking that safe and ending up with all those items at once could overwhelm a person, but you meticulously doled out items to pretty awesome results. You also chose to block bwt at the perfect time, so that's great stuff. Thanks for netting me and the rest of the civs a win for this game! I thought we were doomed from day 5 onward, so whoosh this is all surprising.

I can't say Epi was the MVP of the civs, though if he hadn't killed INH in his kamakaze jamboree, I dunno if the game would have continued. So thanks Epi!

Re: Psych Mafia [END]

Yay! Good game guys, especially BDH for cracking the code and getting 11 items! Jesus.

I played like dogpoop this game and almost feel as though we won despite my play. So much stuff happening behind the scenes I had no idea who was who towards the end. I definitely wanted timmer dead and didn't think for a sec that Russ was bad, but the others were a crapshoot. The beginning 3 phases of this game was quite demoralizing for me, where I was one of the top vote getters for the first 3 lynches. Then replacing in to rabbit just to be under fire again for similar reasons, I was ready to walk away from the game. So yeah, this was not the most fun game for me, but I'm glad the more well-minded civs saved the day.

LoRab, you asked me to answer you in post game why I killed Russ when I did? I was having a very busy spell, thus reflecting my segmented posts and thought processes early on, so I listed the top 3 people I was suspicious of early on. I knew that the Engagement Ring could make someone die in place of someone else, and while I wanted to use it later on someone else getting lynched that seemed civ and someone that didn't, I just kept getting under fire for whatever reason. So I gave it to whom I thought in that moment looked be fishiest, and it was between Epi, INH, and Russ, none of which were on my suspect list. I was hoping it wouldn't be traced back to me if I was wrong, and I agonized til a little before deadline which I would throw to the fire, and if it had been one of the other 2 it would have been game changing. But I was wrong. Very wrong :disappoint:

Then the host post listed exactly what I did with terrible consequences.
Then Russ immediately switched in to another role, assuming the likeness of someone else, and (rightly so) holding a grudge against me.
I wasn't sure if I could talk about items, so whenever someone asked me about why I used my ring, I didn't want to get in trouble. Plus, I had a pretty hollow reasoning anyway that I was hoping to stay buried. Russ returning and talking about his previous life really fucked me.

Re: Psych Mafia [Day 6]

I'm completely clueless what's going on.

Some people know things, and can't info dump, but might have provided too much to "help the baddies" which leads me to question if the player in question is actually cleared.

The items? I dunno.

I'm just voting to save myself.

Although, bwt going through the motions of looking at the information that I have provided, is fine standing pat with a vote on me.

Re: Psych Mafia [Day 6]

@Russ I know how frustrated you are, and that's why I'm having trouble voting you- you're having a lot of the same frustrations I'm having, which reads genuine to me.

Also Russ, you can't vote yourself. I did that already then looked up the rules. It's illegal :beer:
BigDamnHero wrote:I worked from 6pm to 4am yesterday, got 2 hrs sleep and now I'm transferring my mom from one nursing center of another...my day is pretty full...

That's being said, I'm reading the thread and WILL vote before poll closes. Russ' recent pleas kinda strike a chord with me, though. I need to :ponder: for a bit. We NEED to get this right to get back in this game or have any hope of achieving a civ victory.

Someone earlier, I think Scotty maybe, questioned my gift exchange w/ Elo. I.hope.ots not crossing a line but I'm gonna say it anyway: there's no danger in the gift I'm exchanging. It CAN ONLY HELP if Elon is a civ (and the civ I think she may possibly be) or else do absolutely nothing if she's one of the baddies. I've tried to be active with items but nothing I've done seems to have produced any results, unfortunately.
I'm not questioning your gift exchange. Hell, I gifted you an item last night (this isn't breaking rules afaik) so if anyone wants an item, it's me, should I still be alive.

Rabbit had Multiple items in his possession when I inherited the role. None of them benefited me so I gifted them our to who I thought were civs. Hope y'all use it to your advantage. :beer:

And what about Elo strikes you as a certain civ role? Do you think she's Shawn?

Did you not see that one?
I did see that one. I was more referring to any time in that phase, Day 4. She suspected Wilgy in Day 2. The start of her Day 4 entailed her questioning her own abilities and "not having any pings" on anyone. That's like me voting for BDH for something he said on day 1, because I said he smelled funny once.

Except that wouldn't tie the vote up with someone we now know to be bad (MM).

Re: Psych Mafia [Day 6]

Woah guys, I'm just now looking at Elo's voting record and I don't like what I see.

Day 2- she votes for Scotty1.0 to give me 5 votes. This is right after Quin voted for Dom to bring him to 3.
Day 3- was a wash like I was afraid of. She voted for Scotty1.0 with 8 other people.
Day 4- She TIES UP THE VOTE by voting for Wilgy, bringing it 3-3 Wilgy and MM. This was followed by timmer and bwt.
Day 5- she joins the bandwagon for Sokoth.

Most of her play has been her nodding her agreement with cases. Her most damning vote comes in Day 4 by swaying the vote away from MM.
Elohcin wrote:Okay, so in light of Epi's post, I decided to go back and read Day 2. Then I decided to read individual players on Day 2. And still...I got nuttin'!! I don't know what's wrong with me this game, but I'm having a hard time finding any, what you call, pings. :shrug:
This was one of her few posts on Day 4. It's not what I would call a confident voter.
But she does spend most of her posting on day 4 contemplating secrets behind the crooked cops kill, which isn't inherently suspicous. She suspects the baddies are inactive. Ok.
Elohcin wrote:
LoRab wrote:OK. Read up.

Thoughts on the names that have come up, because at this moments, I don't have any suspects of my own and I've been wrong about suspicions up until now, so I'm self doubting, and I didn't have time to read back through earlier posts. Also, it's less than 2 hours, and more names would only make it easier for mafia to manipulate the lynch, assuming (like Epi) many missing voters).

MM I could definitely see as bad. Especially after the vote for Sig, with no stated reason for doing so.

Russ I would be very surprised to find out was bad.

Wilgy, I'm unsure. I'm not very good at reading him. My gut tells me he is civ, but my gut could be totally wrong.

Sig, I really don't think is bad. I'm willing to revisit that at some point, but I don't see enough evidence that he's bad at this point to change my thinking.

So, I'm voting MM, because I think that's where I'm seeing the strongest reasoning at this point.
My top suspect is still wilgy. And with no developments today on who could be bad b/c of Night 2's kill, I have to stick with my vote on him. But, this post here doesn't sit well with me. The way Lorab describes wilgy sounds like how a baddie would describe a teammate. I also don;t like how she voted for MM and gave the exact reasoning that a previous player gave. If wilgy is bad, Lorab has my next vote.
"Still Wilgy"? She hadn't talked about Wilgy but lumping him in with LoRab and Rabbit as having 2 posts on day 2.

Re: Psych Mafia [Day 6]

I took a step back from last night. I don't mean to appeal to emotions or bring the Pity Party on me. I find that cheap. But I am still frustrated. I'm willing to consider that Epi is not all bad.

I was not expecting to be brought back, and had ideas of who was bad before. I was crestfallen to learn Matt was not bad. My strategy going into this new role and persona is finding something I find suspicious and delving further into that. What it's done is create a chasm between those people and the rest. I'm pooling all of my resources into a couple people at a time, and perhaps this step back is helpful. Doesn't help I have 4 votes on me of people convinced cases are "damning" but in stead of giving up, I want to keep fighting for civs.

Because once again, I'm good. This game has been messy all around for me, as I would feel pretty bad at myself if we lost because I was mislynched...twice.

Things I now believe (though I could in fact be wrong):

1) Scotty is Bad News Bears.
2) He was probably saved on D1, so Matt and/or Epi look pretty darn bad too.

Thoughts?
So I know there must be rules in place for this, but I'm assuming you can't talk about your precious self life.

I'm wondering what led you to this conclusion in your current role.
Is #2 a separate thought from #1? Or is #1 a conclusion from #2?


Anyone wanna talk about my 9 person train from yesterday ...or start the Scotty-is-bad locomotive again?
Well, I don't see any rules about discussing you previous life - just items. However, you made it pretty clear what happened in a previous post, so I'll let people use that to figure it out for themselves. What happened doesn't make you look any better to me.

#2 does follow from #1, so #1 seems like a good place to start. In addition to probably nabbing a baddie, lynching you will also get us the most info, since then we'll know for sure if it was a save and how to take the late votes that saved you D1.

So I say ALL ABOOOOOOOOOARD! CHOO CHOO!

Russ, explain to me why I would save Scotty Day 1 only to turn against him Day 2. Detail your theory as much as you can. What makes it "probable" that Scotty was saved?
If it looked like he was going down regardless, makes sense to hop on the bandwagon as unobtrusively as possible. And given how many votes he got, another vote save waspretty improbable. Add to that, that it was likely any teammates he had knew he would survive anyway, and why the hell not pile on and hide in the crowd?

As you say, you turned against Scotty D2. Are you still against him? Because this reads to me as a soft defense. Which would make perfect sense if in fact you are both bad and Scotty can now be lynched, if you think you have a chance of getting me first and delaying his death another day.

Russ2 was keen on lynching Scotty, and one of his main reasons was that doing so would "give us the most info." Scotty1 got lynched. What did Russtifinko do with the information he gleaned from Scotty1's lynch? I looked. The answer is "Nothing of note."

Now Scotty is back, and not once does Scotty2 even so much as express any curiosity about Russ2' alignment after that fiasco. And now they are voting together without questioning each other at all. This means that, even without saying so, Scotty has revealed that he believes a leader in his former life's lynch is good to the extent that he is willing to support Russtifinko's case against timmer.

Even though...

Good Scotty expressed suspicion of Russ2, but is now supporting him without breathing a word about his opinion of a guy who voted for him.

Nobody is fooling me. :mafia:
Ugh, I don't have time to format on my phone.

Epi, it's hard for me to separate baddies from that lynch. I know baddies votes for me. Timmer started the vote for me early on day 2, and you followed. Russ continued the same sentiment a lot of the town said: "we'll learn something". Did you? Nah, because everyone and their mother hopped on that train but I hoped anyway.

I found Russ 2.0's actions indicative of someone who thought the info was right there and obvious. I felt the same about Matt. So Russ 2.0 wasn't someone I was focusing on. LoRab suspected me for similar reasons and I didn't suspect her, until Sokoth's reveal, in which I followed that to its end. Was I wrong on LoRab? Yes. Was I right on LoRab? Most likely. :shrug:

So could Russ 2.0 be bad for wanting me lynched? Yea, sure. I'll go there. I could vote there. Voting in the same block of someone who I previously suspected for Yin does not a crooked cop make.

What do you expect me to say about someone who's been passionately after my head all game?
I'm referring to you, by the way.
Epignosis wrote:I want you all to look at Russ' post up there toward me. "So unless you can convince me there's incontrovertible proof 2 replacements are bad, then I think you're oversimplifying and ignoring a lot of useful stuff by limiting yourself to looking only at replacements."

Am I looking only at replacements? Am I ignoring a lot of "useful stuff?" What useful stuff is Russ talking about? He doesn't say. What useful stuff, Russ?
I saw this post, and happened to agree with Russ here, because I didn't trust you. I still don't, but am working on changing my viewpoint and fast before you get me mislynched again.

Are you looking only at replacements? Well, that's not quite true, but is mostly. You are only voting for Replacements today, based on the math in your head. Russ probably could have phrased that better, but then again I could have phrased most things better this game. The "ignoring useful stuff" I even echoed in my posts.

The whole reason you're after replacements, Epi, is that you strongly believe BDH to be good, and sig to be good. And that's assuming you're good.

No one finds that suspicious that I'm having no resistance, once again? Timmer got resistance.

I mean, you can't all be bad, but apparently you can be lazy.

:sigh: I'm done putting up a resistance. Once again, I'm trying too hard in the game and it's making me irritable. Next time I replace in, I'm just gonna pop in every now and then and say "hey, I agree with the majority, that person is bad". Sounds like a winning strategy.

Unsure? That's how you summarize my opinion of you? Thats how I summarize my opinion of your opinion of me.
Scotty wrote: You say it's mathematically impossible for all replacements to be civ. To back yourself up, you say that sig is Shawn and BDH is civ.

Oh wait, that's not confirmed. Neither of those are confirmed. As a matter of fact, I think sig is Yang, but that doesn't matter because he's not a mathematic part of the equation. He is a variable, not the rule. And BDH? Where is he confirmed civ? How do you know he is civ? I mean, you must KNOW he is civ based on some info, or else that wouldn't be mathematically confirmed.
When someone uses what information is available to him to figure things out, I would expect other civilians to appreciate the effort and the direction. You are indignant about it. Why?

You say sig is Yang, which isn't based on anything but his escape of the Day 1 lynch. I provided a logically sound analysis regarding sig.

BDH voted you the previous Day along with sig. I would have expected you to come into this probing BDH and sig for their votes, but you haven't said anything about BDH other than to complain about my perspective of him. Don't crap on my perspective when you haven't offered an alternative.

I do appreciate the effort of using info, if you actually are civ. That's why I felt like voting you would be a mistake since no one else if really taking the time to do that. The problem is, you are usually really good at framing a certain viewpoint, so I'm hesitant to say a civ Epi or a Mafia Epi would be different in the aspect of information framing. And I am harping on the wording, since you are so intent on harping of my wording. Mathematically eliminating? Hardly. That implies concrete info. You're framing it as if your opinion is objective and canon, which it is not. That's my point here.

RE: BDH- yeah, being dead had me only doing cursory glances at the thread and getting tone reads, which is slightly different for me. I found BDH had a positive tone while I was dead, and I actually don't see him as bad. So I mean I can agree with you on that point. And I'm not crapping on your perspective, ok? That's your opinion, not fact. That's, again, the point I was making. I think we both agree that BDH looks civ.

I don't have an opinion of timmer. How is timmer having two votes "for some time" relevant to my opinion of him? :confused: Curious of your opinion of him. Thought that you would at least take to that case, at least a little, instead of just sticking to Replacementville.

If I get to it. You gunning for Lorab on the basis of "info" and then trying to discredit my view of sig and BDH as though I have some kind of info in their favor does not improve my opinion of you. You're wrong and you came right back with "Hey, what do you think of INH?" It gives me the impression that you are looking for any place to stick your vote. That you've voted alongside my other main suspect also doesn't help. More on that in a moment.

ah, but even though LoRab wasn't bad, my analysis was correct. Info did lead Sokoth to concluding she was bad, and it was just a matter of not trusting that his check could have been bad.

My vote is pliable. But you're being indignant in marching to your own drum, which is nothing new for you, however it's really taking a toll on me this game.

Re: Psych Mafia [Day 5]

Just looking at some INH points:
Day 1: he votes Scotty1.0 for being goofy
Day 2: He votes me again, but this time after agreeing with timmer.
Day 3: He is in jail :shifty:
Day 4: he votes sig, because he is convinced sig is bad:

My case for voting Sig really rests in Sig's posting history. He seems to be trying so hard to pass himself off as invulnerable that it seems hollow to me. There's a very good chance he's bluffing, and Timmer provided an example of a time in the past when he did the same thing.

This mindset of "Sig must be either A or B." is reductive and limiting.

I'd ask you to read his posts and maybe try to think outside of the box.
It isn't reductive. Explain what is outside the box. Who is sig, and why are you voting for him?
Sig is a person who I think has said and done some shady stuff this game. People are giving him a pass because he wasn't lynched on Day 1. I think doing so is incorrect and playing directly into his hand. I think he's purposefully bluffing, and attempting to get through this game scot-free. A Crooked Cop would have a much better chance of having access to a lynch stop item. Plus, there are the infamous secret descriptions in their roles, which could theoretically have something to do with lynches. Thinking that Sig has to either be Shawn or Yang because he survived a lynch is reductive. I'm trying to get people to free their minds, dude.
Don't know the logic behind the underlined, but ok. He really wants sig dead.

Day 5: he votes bwt. This is the oddest one.

insertnamehere wrote:This is getting kind of ridiculous. I came into the thread with a fairly out there idea, explained my reasoning, MM was the only one who agreed with me, and now people automatically assume that the combination of the two must mean that I equal bad. And they are so convinced by this that they decide to just say that I've "seemed bad" from the beginning, and they don't feel that they need to add anything to Epi's case on me at all.

I also posted a response to Epi's case that it seems no one has listened to, or even wants to respond to. It's like I'm in a particularly unpleasant conversation where everyone else is pretending I'm not in the room.

Another reason people have to suspect me is that Sokoth, who seems to be the last bandwagon cargo for today, put my name out of alphabetical order in a read list.

:solitary:

This is the type of weird grammatical semantics based suspicion that always seemed to me to be about as effective as throwing a dartboard at the player list, and proclaiming whoever it lands on scum.

Above all else, I'd like to encourage open conversation about suspicions. Less empty agreeing and pointing at other posts, (although I'd be lying if I said I've never done that before) and more discussion of everyone. And I mean everyone, not just the latest person Epignosis wrote up a big imposing case on.

I believe the baddies are hiding in the Yes Men. The players who just go with the flow and jump on the bandwagons. Timmer's definitely caught my eye for his complete and utter 180 heel turn from this:
timmer wrote:I feel like both Wilgy and Sig could be bad, while I'm less sold on the MM case. I trust INH in this game, and haven't trusted Sig all game...
to this
timmer wrote:I believe INH is bad, as well. He was reading very sensible to me, but his voting with MM against Sig, and Sokoth's putting him last on her list... nope.
But my vote's going to go to the player I most feel exemplifies the "Yes Man" archetype, BWT. After saying nothing about me for the entire game, he posts a "Yeah, this" to Epi's Sokoth/INH dual indictments, and now wants to lynch me tomorrow. He voted Scotty twice before boarding the Wilgy train, and browsing through his post history, I can barely find any points of value that don't connect to one of those two. This vote is equally a statement of suspicion, and a suggestion for him to step up his game.
His suspicion of sig? That throwaway vote to lynch sig on day 4? Yeah, guess that was a wash. Did he just realize no one would pick up on the fact that trying to lynch sig was just a bad idea? Conveniently, he started broadening his scope on the player field right after MM was killed. Very timely time to start coming alive. Very Thriller-esque!


So I guess my question to you, INH: what is your perception of sig now? What made you change your game plan to looking elsewhere? Would you still vote sig if you got support from the rest of the town?

You led the case on me day 2. You were the first person to place a vote on me, followed by Epi. After several long posts building a case.

Yes, I am aware it is possible I am completely wrong. I'll take a step back.

Let's say we're friends in this game.

Who do you think is suspicious? And why?

I don't mean to bully you, timmer. And of course I would feel very bad if you are a tired civ. In the game context, I see compounding reasons that you are bad. But I will consider the alternative. I will.

It does in hindsight, but I'm not sure about that moment in time. To me, it looks more like you did a 180 rather than changed your mind due to new evidence. Unless I missed something where you had suspected MM previously.
Not at all, I jumped on the case. Look, you know how much time I have to play mafia these days. I cannot and will never any time soon, be a lead player. I can't follow every post, that's just not my game, and it hasn't been for some time.

So people should realize that this is who I am now; a player who picks up other people's cases and evaluates them. So if I seem to have swerved a few times, that's why.
So should we not hold you accountable for your actions then? You might not have the time you wish you had to play and build cases, and excuse yourself with the type of persona that drives in the backseat, but tell that to the timmer of Day 2 who started the vote train for my previous self. You helped mislynch me, and sure showed that "lead player" to me.

You might very well not have as much time to play, which is perfectly acceptable in and of itself. But that's not what you're arguing. You're arguing that you are inherently not someone who leads.

Which is bullsuit

Because it's really strange to me that everyone else would be in alpha order except that one.
That's an excellent catch, right there. And the fact that he is an "undecided" is classic baddie teammate.... throw a bit of shade, but not enough that you'd be voting there.
I suppose it's possible, but I would think the one thing a baddie would want to do in a post like that is avoid making their teammate stick out in any way, and checking alphabetical order like that is super easy. It's possible Sokoth was trying to do that and failed, but to me it seems more likely something a civ would do because they're more carefree. I disagree with LoRab's point, here. More importantly, though, this feels opportunistic from timmer, to me, and it got me looking into him.....
timmer wrote:I'm going to vote Sokoth now. Epig's and LoRab's thoughts have me convinced, and I believe INH is bad, as well. He was reading very sensible to me, but his voting with MM against Sig, and Sokoth's putting him last on her list... nope.

Also, in terms of LoRab's game play, this feels like her civvie game. When she's called out as bad she tends, imo, to post less and get more defensive. Here she's much more activelty defending herself and calling people out which fits civ lorab.
I don't like this, either. timmer thought INH was super reasonable and trustworthy, but one medium-sized case from Epi and he's completely sold that INH is bad? He also criticizes INH's vote with MM against sig, which is fair, except that timmer has probably been the most anti-sig person in the game.

I get it - timmer's Zodac experience gies him a different lens through which to view sig's play, so I can see him being more skeptical of sig than most. timmer switched his read on a player from "top X civs" to "top 2 baddies", and having your reasons be
1) Epi said so.
2) He voted for a person (sig) whom I have suspected for days and whom I said was possibly bad as recently as D4, and a confirmed baddie made the same vote.
quote="timmer"]I've put a vote on Wilgy.

Looking back through, I feel like both Wilgy and Sig could be bad, while I'm less sold on the MM case. I trust INH in this game, and haven't trusted Sig all game, however I also see the Wilgy logic, and Eloh is exactly right about the pingy tone of lorab's post, and so it makes more sense for me to vote him and put him ahead than to vote Sig and create a three-way tie that could be open to shenanigans and cause a dead MM instead.
3) A player whose alignment we don't know yet listed INH out of order on their earlier rainbow read. All of these reasons are astonishingly weak and more or less incoherent, and timmer should be getting scrutiny over this.

Note also that timmer had a chance to tie the lynch vote yesterday and refused to do so. Instead he voted Wilgy on the rationale "I also see the Wilgy logic", and specifically cited not wanting to risk MM dying as a reason for his vote!! This is only the second time all game that timmer mentioned Wilgy, the first being on D2:
timmer wrote:
DrWilgy wrote:I say we end our hosts search for a replacement via lynch. Aren't I the nicest?
Wilgy, looking back it seems like your Dom suspicion began with this: "Dom is bad.

He's poking at Lorabbit's twirlibirdimarks after I already inqured about them. While not being directly opportunistic, he's looking for reasons to vote."

Where are you at, now? Obviously still focused on him, but is there more to your thoughts now that a day has passed? How do you feel the lynch went?
timmer essentially defends Dom here. This made sense when Dom was inactive, but I am arguing it makes way more sense knowing that Dom was in fact bad.

All that is far from a defense of INH. I actually would have preferred lynching INH over Sokoth today, and maybe I should have said so sooner. However, I realize that my judgement on INH may be skewed this game since he's been after me since I replaced in this role, so I held off.

This feels like hindsight now with the Day's end so close, but the Sokoth case worries me. There's similarly little resistance to when I went after Scotty, and a number of people (timmer and BWT come to mind, but possibly others) are saying "Sokoth today, INH next!" like it's a foregone conclusion Sokoth will flip bad. Anytime people do that, it makes me think that they probably won't.

This post took quite a turn from where I thought it would go. I've convinced myself to vote timmer, and to keep doing so until he or I is killed.[/quote]

I really like this case.
Timmer has been in my periphery for a bit, and while he led the brigade on me on day 2, which got us nowhere, I didn't necessarily fault him for that.
But his attitude of the past few days after MM flipped bad has me doubling back. I thought timmer thrived after catching a bad guy. Instead, he indeed soft defends Dom/MM and stays rather inactive in regards to building any cases from it.

Since Dom was killed by YingYang twins, he has done nothing in terms of establishing cases. There's this post:

Thoughts on the names that have come up, because at this moments, I don't have any suspects of my own and I've been wrong about suspicions up until now, so I'm self doubting, and I didn't have time to read back through earlier posts. Also, it's less than 2 hours, and more names would only make it easier for mafia to manipulate the lynch, assuming (like Epi) many missing voters).

MM I could definitely see as bad. Especially after the vote for Sig, with no stated reason for doing so.

Russ I would be very surprised to find out was bad.

Wilgy, I'm unsure. I'm not very good at reading him. My gut tells me he is civ, but my gut could be totally wrong.

Sig, I really don't think is bad. I'm willing to revisit that at some point, but I don't see enough evidence that he's bad at this point to change my thinking.

So, I'm voting MM, because I think that's where I'm seeing the strongest reasoning at this point.
I think there's enough evidence in sig's favor. I won't vote for him. Wilgy and MM are gone. Russ got the yellow comment. I want to explore that.

The above alongside Russ's ardent "defense" of Lorab is prima facie evidence that Russ and Lorab had BTSC at one point, and that despite the initial anonymity, Russ learned the identity of his company.

Think on that. Lorab had an anonymous chat with Russ, and she clearly trusted him (given the yellow).

Have you ever been bad and received BTSC with a civilian? That can be one of the most nerve-wracking experiences in Mafia...although I'd like to think I've gotten it down to a science. :dark:

Or you might just be like Eloh, who unwittingly outed her damn self in Death Note. :haha: Good times. *Wipes away a giddy tear*.

Russ' defense is unique.

sig never defended Lorab, and by Day 5 said she warranted a closer look. Dr.Wilgy never defended Lorab. MM was evil and may well have been caught in BTSC. That leaves Russ, who came out defending Lorab.

There are five civilians left.

Shawn Spencer
Carlton Lassiter
Henry Spencer
Abigail Lytar
Woody the Coroner

I don't believe Russ is Shawn or Carlton. I have other people in mind for those two roles. That leaves Henry, Abigail, and Woody. None of those are able to check secrets or roles. And if you are one of those roles, that narrows things down even further.

Russ got BTSC with Frank, figured out that was Lorab, and killed her.
Wait wait wait wait. This analysis was all going so well until the very last line. The whole theory was super well put together, except that I don't see how the conclusion follows. So:

1) LoRab and I had BTSC.
2) LoRab and I trusted and defended each other.
3) LoRab was civ.
4) I am.....bad??

You're giving me way too much credit and not giving LoRab enough if you think I could pull the wool over her eyes like that in BTSC. I'm flattered, but you're flat-out wrong.

I'll be voting timmer again. I'd love to hear some discussion on him, as I put together what I thought was a pretty well-thought-out and airtight (although admittedly poorly timed) case, but the only real response I got was from him, so I feel like I'm talking at a brick wall. His behavior D4 and D5 was just BANANAS, right? And on a pretty pivotal day for the baddies, too!

Has Epi been elected President and Ruler of Casemaking here, or do other people get to have ideas worth talking about too?
Airtight? I do not think that word means what you think it means. You still haven't even looked at it without your blunders on.

But I'm going to concentrate tomorrow on the relevant cases, not on defending a vote that I made in good faith.
where he says he is going to concentrate on relevant cases, and not just defend himself.

Well, OK. He agreed with Epi's "case" on Sokoth and INH. Doesn't really put up any other thoughts. When Russ confronts him, it's just been a "nah, I'm not bad bro" kind of attitude. I feel like he's concentrating on the sun, and if he concentrates too hard, he might be blind in a phase.

Yo timmer, I'm voting you with Russ. Let's see if you can build your own cases, and let's see if anyone comes out of the woodwork to defend you.

Scotty brings up a good point on Ying/Yang and riddles. If Shawn is bad at puzzles or inactvie then it doesn't matter, but if the riddles are really that hard perhaps that can help clue us in to who Ying/Yang are?
Who do you think is Shawn, sig?

I don't feel bad tracking him down right now openly. I don't know what his role entails with protections as the game goes on, but I'd like to eliminate our Shawn from the suspect pool at our earliest convenience before we start meandering closer to LYLO

Linki: I thought maybe he was a green check from Soko, but the more I think about it, bwt has not been a contributor to throwing Tabasco in the soup this game.

It's timmer, BWT and INH on my head.

Epi STILL hasn't weighed in on what he thinks of INH this phase except to say that he would vote for him. :rolleyes:

I also must say, Epi, you really started to get the ball rolling right after MM was lynched. As if to say "we're doing great gang, let's work together to finish this," yet otherwise possibly determining, "shit, we need to fan flames and get people talking every which way. Shaggy and Scooby, you go down that dark hallway with ghostly clanking, and I'll go with Daphne over here to this finely lit motel room"

Epi, why did you vote Sokoth over INH yesterday?

That's true...in the early phases. It is no longer the early phases. It is now numerically impossible for all three replaced persons to be civilian. Impossible. So there is good reason to scrutinize the replacements at this stage.

I've given very little attention to DFaraday. I will now remedy that.
Explain like I'm 5 about that point. Why is it impossible with 5 civilians still alive?

And I'm not saying replacements shouldn't be scrutinized, but the fact that they are replacements is not an alignment indicator.

Why are you misconstruing what I'm saying, Epi?

Re: Psych Mafia [Day 6]

Going back to Shawn.

Either Shawn is very bad at solving puzzles or Yin/Yang are throwing Stephen Hawking-level equations at him.

Aight Russ, I'll look at timmer, since you seem to think tour case is pretty airtight

BigDamnHero wrote:Ok, so there's a lot I wanna comment on, but don't really have the time/energy to do any sort of epic linki quote-back post so I'm just freestylin' this...most of which is just gonna be rhetorical thoughts I need to get out of my brain so as to free up space for more meaningful contemplations...so here goes...

First off, all these 2.0 players has my mind reeling. I've never really seen this happen before and it's causing me to make me wonder (aside from a lack of replacement players) why they are coming back in which leads me to ponder the hosts motives/rationalizations for allowing them to return in new roles. That in turn leads me down the WIFM road and consider whether they would then assign them to a contrary allignment or keep them civ (as most of them had been in their first incarnation). It also makes reading them harder since we have heard their voices before (potentially laying credibility) but now have to reevaluate those same people under a new light.

Secondly, to Scotty's point. Epi has been very vocal (though he always seems to have been in what I know of his overll play style). I've statd before I thought Epi was civ, so I really don't get the "Scotty baddie slip-up" accusations. If he thought Epi was civ, why is it a slip-up to call him "the most vocal civ?" That being said, I would put Epi in a very rare and exclusive category of mafia players who can convince anybody of anything all the while twisting the knife he stabbed in your back but making you smile as he does it I still believe 99% that Epi is civ, but that remaining 1% makes me wonder if he isn't just playing us all...after all, his theories haven't came remotely close to netting us any baddies yet...
I think focusing on replacements being alignment indicative is a mistake. So far, it's Russ, DF and me that have come back. We were all announced as civ at death. We replaced into roles from players that went MIa. That's all. I know I can't help what rabbit has done before me.

I would say to your Epi pout that I, again, feel as though Epi is a quandary, and is bringing cases forward, which is what the civs need. Is he a civ bringing discussion, or a Mafia steering the thread?

As for his theories not netting any baddies yet...see...this is my biggest delimma. Epi and I sorta sparred all Downton Abbey until the end: I waffled on whether or not he was bad because he was vocal and putting out arguments and they were almost all wrong. And I was convinced he was steering the thread then.
But we were both civ and we both survived til the end. Somehow.

So even if Epi is Mafia leading us astray, I want to keep looking around, there's still 2 baddies, so it would be nice to eliminate from the slew of other people before Epi. Thass how i see it.

Tell me who does have good voting record. I'll wait.

Better yet, I'll go grab the only meaningful data regarding the voting records of living people for you:
Metalmarsh89
3
Quin (7), DFaraday (8), LoRab (10) 23%
That's it. What do you make of it?
What do you think of the case I laid out Epi? Instead of laughing over a potential "slip", Mr. 'My Keyboard must have a mind of its own this game'.

That should read as the most vocally civ. You sound civ, you really do. That was my reservation.
I'm not laughing, and there was nothing potential about that. You called me one of your "new top suspicions" and then called me "the most vocal civ."

For the sake of argument, let's accept your rephrasing. You say you meant I "read as the most vocally civ." That implies there exists such a thing as "the most vocally bad." Who, in your opinion, fits that description? If you contend that no one does or that there is no such thing, then what you claim you meant to say is inherently meaningless.
Great. It's meaningless. You will always win the game of attrition when it comes to nitpicky semantics here.

what do you think of my case on LoRab (since I am not planning on voting for you tomorrow anyway with someone who looks so bad)?
LoRab wrote:Why are you patently ignoring my response to you, Scotty, and the question that it contained?
My opinion of you is mostly (if not solely) hinging on Sokoth's and Quin's interactions with you, and even though I didn't see you as bad until yesterday, my race horse blinders are on. You could give me a bunch of money and tell me I've won the mega lottery and I still wouldn't not suspect you.

Linki: well shit. Sokoth prolly got that red check, and LoRab really was good.

Dammit :faint: I'm sorry LoRab

This seems like a genuine baddie skip. What say you, scotty?
Why are you patently ignoring my case and piggybacking on Epi's semantics over a word.
What say you over the damn information I've laid out before you? You were just bemoaning you can't figure out the baddies.

I'll be honest - I probably was going to continue to suspect you regardless of how you responded to my case, because the case itself struck me so hard. But your reponses are doing even less to change my opinion than I imagined they would.
How about you compare your blinkered thinking on me with what Scotty just threw down on LoRab? Because that's a great reentry into the game. Your thoughts on me, on the other hand, are completely ignoring the fact that civs make bad calls all of the time. I've followed the cases I thought were best and voted accordingly.
Uhh thanks.

Is this you agreeing with my case? Or just that I painted some pretty clouds in my landscape drawing?

Re: Psych Mafia [Night 5]

Well for one thing, my new top suspicions are LoRab and Epi.

Epi is one person who I've been going back and forth on- for one, I agreed with his views on INH. For two, he's actually been the most vocal civ in the last phase, and when everyone started piling on Sokoth, it was pretty clear from an outside perspective that Sokoth was definitely a mislynch. Trust me, I was screaming. INH's voting pattern is pretty shit. But then again, so is Epi's. Why include Sokoth in talks with INH?

This one is reaching possibly, but that's a scenario I want to look at the next day.

BUT

The big elephant in the room is that Sokoth- the role checker- had only one suspicion: LoRab. As soon as he flips, LoRab is quick to shoot that down:
LoRab wrote:Ugh. That was frustrating. An allignment checker who defends mafia and accuses civs. Sigh. Moving on.
insertnamehere wrote:
LoRab wrote:Also, you don't give another explanation for why every name was alpha except for one? How did INH's name end up being the only one not listed in order?
When stuff like this is what people focus on, this is what happens.
I'm not focusing on it--but it's a question that I had and was never answered. It was not my reasoning for suspecting the Klingon, that was based on his behavior, which presented as suspicious. But being wrong about 1 player does not negate noticing small things and breaks in patterns. It also doesn't clear you from suspicion.
He hardly defended Dom. But he definitely made clear that he suspected you. Why you, of all people? The case seemed flimsy because it was. Hell, I didn't believe it either. How could he suspect you for seeming off, and not rabbit (me) or timmer? They were my primary suspects before subbing in. Timmer could still be bad, but I'm more suspicious of the info we have.

The info is there.
Guess who voted LoRab on Day 3 without a seeming reason?
Quin.
Guess what Quin got to do?
Send a role check to Sokoth on anyone that voted for a lynched civ. Guess who did that?
LoRab.

I think Quin was deliberately expressing who he was checking every night. Sokoth got a red check on LoRab, and didn't know how to say it without dumping info in the thread (such is the case with these types of games).

I will be certainly voting for LoRab tomorrow regardless of what she has to say. There's always the off chance that Sokoth is giving a blind sus of someone after getting civ reads but nahhhhh
