no one asked me, but ima go ahead and tell you why i think mac is mafia.
he comes in here to demotivate jjj. he has an issue with jjj taking the leader role. he's vocalizing it to make others aware of these issues he has with jjj. he is trying to renounce jjj's place in the thread. ok...
but then nah, he doesn't wanna take jjj's place after all. he's happy being led. he's happy jjj being himself.
there was no purpose for the former or the latter. when someone comes in strong and then contradicts everything said, it is always a plot to weaken or cause conflict or shake trust in a person. macdougall here was initially trying to take civ jjj off course, and whether he continued or not, the posts are there. they have already garnered agreement from at least 2 other people. there is purpose behind every post, especially one that criticizes another player's playing style, and especially when macdougall is no newbie to jjj or his playstyle. it gets old ya know. the pocketing approach may have worked in ass-class, but it wouldn't work in any game i'm in.
Epi wasn't behaving much differently to Mac. Why is he a town read?
epignosis' gif of "i agree" is not exactly what mac was doing. epi's day 0 contribs bordered on roleplay and humor more than demotivational imo. tone is everything to me. similarly, reywaS agreed with mac, but i didn't suspect him
because he agreed with him.
i suspected mac because of the specific language he used, how he framed the negativity he felt from jay's posting-leadership style and then how he quickly backed down to appear almost like the victim of the exchange (why don't you give other people a chance to take the lead in the dance), and then without coming across as the bad guy "you do you, jay" when suggested he can certainly lead. that is all manipulative language imo, and i know mac is more than capable of beginning to waver confidence in jay's voice on day 0 by making little quips here and there like that. he's a master manipulator, i never take anything he says to not mean anything. everything means something with mac.
i like epi's tone. i like his level of contribs with roleplay. i am getting seinfeld flashbacks with him and i have no reason not to trust what he's saying. he's still my top civ read.
