Aside from the fact that I was bad as shit, I was wholly honest when I said things. It’s all about playing from the civ perspective

You weren't playing from a town perspective though, never mind the coffee, and I did catch on to that. Truth is, I'm a real coward. I'd rather lose by someone else's hand than fight for what I believe in. It's my worst trait as town. I shouldn't have let you go. But I did. And you played well and was slippery enough to sneak away.^^

The loss was because of me. All I had to do was vote Scotty and the votes would have been there. I knew that.

The one time in her life that nutella has ever sounded genuine to me was the one time I heavily defended her and she was on the bad team.

I am about 1 for 14 batting against nutella.

But I could've fought you on it. I wanted to. I almost did. But I backed out of it. Because I would rather not have the "blame". Which is dumb, because this is fully a team game all the time. So I'm sorry I did not fight you on it harder.

Oh yeah. It comes in different forms.

Remember... the coffee...

I didn’t wanna weigh in on this earlier, but I only said that because I didn’t want to admit to reading this thread literally 2 minutes after I woke up, lol

Doesn't matter. It's magic. And I stand by that.

Everyone - listen up:

Thanks a lot for the game, G-Man! It was ...a lot. <3

I wish I could say stuff confidently like you do. : p

But then I wouldn't be me. I would be you. And that would be awfully confusing.

Good job, mafia.

Bad job, Dizzy.

Also, if I say someone is scum and is a bit stubborn about it, but then leave it cold without understanding why - can someone else please take some responsibility and tunnel the shit out of them? Thank you.

My town win percent starts creeping closer down to 50. I should retire. : p

If we talk about what we all ate for lunch as well, I could get to 2000.

I was listening to a podcast discussion about meme politics all this time. : p

Accurate.

Scotty wrote: ↑Tue Jun 05, 2018 10:20 pm Guys, I gotta be perfectly honest:

I have no idea what you are going on about with the dentist thing. This isn’t even game talk. I just really don’t know. Maybe I’m dumb

It's because you weren't town. Town would've gotten it. : p

I wish I was just the tiniest bit more assertive.

I'm trolling you, Nutella. <3

I'm town.

Good job, Scotty! <3

nutella wrote: ↑Tue Jun 05, 2018 10:14 pm How the hell can I get people to listen to me in the future I need to learn from this experience because it's somehow my fault we lost

It's not. I will point fingers at Charlie if it's Scotty. And I will point fingers at Jimmey, it it's Jimmey. And all is forgiven. Mafia is a hard game.
And then I will remind myself that when I play again, it must be 15% effort from this game.

nutella wrote: ↑Tue Jun 05, 2018 10:14 pm I hate this goddamn game

I'm sorry. =(

I couldn't let town win.

I think Scotty is likelier to be scum.
Shrug.

What the fuck? So you're okay with losing?

Um. Yeah. I'll be ok. xD

Nut could be scum as well though. Something has been wrong the last couple of hours.

I'm ok lynching Nut.

Oh my goodness!

It's 10:03. I have nine minutes to read, so I'm going to take my nine minutes. Leave me alone.

No. Cause it affects me and everyone else as well.

nutella wrote: ↑Tue Jun 05, 2018 10:02 pm Scotty is Colin's teammate. There is a solid case there. I am not Colin's teammate. There is no solid case there. The choice is yours.

The choice is actually Charlie's in a way. Which makes me feel I wasted a ton of time. : p

Charlie. Get your vote on either Nut or Scotty. Jesus christ.

Scotty wrote: ↑Tue Jun 05, 2018 10:00 pm It’s taken me a long time of AWOL end of days (and I have been absent like 3-4) to come to firm conclusions on Dys and nutella, and my conclusion on Dys was probably misguided at best. Like, I feel like I’m pitching my example of past mistakes lol.

Dys, I will talk more about my frustrations and revelations after the game, but even if we do lose, I wanna say no hard feelings

The AtE is strong with this one. : p

No hard feelings, of course! I'm used to playing mafia. xD

[VOTE: Nutella] aubergine

So this then?

Not to mention if that vote doesn't move, we're going to have a tie.

How about this?

I refuse to vote for Scotty.

Now go.

I refuse to vote for Jimmey. So your vote there is pointless.

[VOTE: Scotty] aubergine

Will chance back if Jimmey and Charlie feels strongly that that's right.

JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Tue Jun 05, 2018 9:31 pm @Scotty for the love of bob man, please answer the question.

This x10. [mention]Scotty[/mention]

nutella wrote: ↑Tue Jun 05, 2018 9:24 pm Yes, I think so. The pattern might not hold for every game, I think you pointed out that my perception of my style was not consistent with another game or two, but I believe it generally holds because when I'm mafia I try to show more confidence (lately in cases on teammates, see MK and FE), while as town without knowledge I flop around like a fish looking for the best case. And it holds this game.

Fish flop was what you were criticized for in FE though.

Dyslexicon wrote: ↑Tue Jun 05, 2018 9:13 pm I think Jimmey's overthinking kind of playstyle isn't matching mine well. I don't play well when I think a lot.

I find myself shifting back toward Scotty. It seems as though he discarded you as a suspect because I wouldn't let him continue as opposed to because he no longer thought it was the right direction to go. That's part of The Theory remaining unresolved on his end too. I don't know what his obligations are in real life, but it's very difficult with him gone right now.

I lean the same way. I'm just worried he did exactly that and is stubborn town not wanting to admit his perspective was wrong.

I think Jimmey's overthinking kind of playstyle isn't matching mine well. I don't play well when I think a lot.

Charlie Blackmon wrote: ↑Tue Jun 05, 2018 8:57 pm Also, please, again, mentioning me does nothing. I get no notifications of any kind when you do this. I don't see anything until I log in, and I read everything first that came before anyway. This is the first time all day I've had a chance to sit down. I'm begging here.

I didn't know this. I was worried that your vote would stay forcing a tie on Jimmey. Glad you're here.

/cop out. <3

That's necessary by the numbers, but you better stick around and keep providing your takes. This isn't my responsibility alone. Help.

I don't understand why this is so difficult.
I completely agree with what you're saying about Nut's tone.
It's half a dangerous game to have expectations of what other town would and won't do though. But that's what we're required to take a guess at.

Would Scotty blatantly refuse to consider Quin's dentist theory and be so visibly uninterested and dismissive of it?

Would Nut be more calm and not respond to my vote vs telling us off at once?

Find out in about 1,5 hours.

Imma vote what Jimmey votes.

/cop out. <3

If Jimmey is scum I'm going to eat Nut's brick.

JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Tue Jun 05, 2018 8:26 pm @G-Man, if this game was a side mission, it'd finish 3rd or 4th all-time in post count. Needless to say it has obliterated the heist mark.

Scotty - 3
Nutella - 3

Let me know if you're misrepresented here or if I should weight these scores in some way

What are you using this for?

Nut - Furthermore, how did you interpret that Scotty thinks it has to be you? Does he seem sure of that to you?

nutella wrote: ↑Tue Jun 05, 2018 8:19 pm Cause you keep asking me stuff lol. But sure. Dizzy, I urge you not to vote for me. I'm town. We have a lot of reasons to suspect Scotty more than anyone else so that is really the best we can do today.

Weren't you about 50/50?

JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Tue Jun 05, 2018 8:06 pm @Dyslexicon, how do you feel about this point Marmot made when he assessed the night kills relative to the suspect pool:

Scotty made a large case on MP the night MP ended up dying.

Oh yeah. It's one of the more compelling things. But it was made early N3, so maybe they hadn't decided who to kill yet? It doesn't prove a lot, I think.

JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Tue Jun 05, 2018 8:07 pm We have such an enthralled viewing audience down there.

It makes me wifom. I'm not cut out to for this game. I remember why I took a break.

Dyslexicon wrote: ↑Tue Jun 05, 2018 7:54 pm Nut is saying the shadiest shit sometimes though. xD

Agreed. And it's leaving me feeling about 60/40 for Scotty if not less.

Which is pretty amazing, considering.

This game.

I don't ever want to live to Lylo again. Please.

Nut is saying the shadiest shit sometimes though. xD

Scum the lot of you.

This is still true though: wouldn't even be mad if scum won at this point. Lynching Scotty makes the most sense.

JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Tue Jun 05, 2018 7:51 pm The simplest universe is that Scotty read the writing on the wall re: Dizzy and realized that his only out was to go for nutella.

Well yeah. If he was town understanding that he had done fucked up, why not say that? Why not comment on it? Why just the "oh, but it could also be Nut but it could be Dizzy but Jimmey is defending him and I don't know, I'll go for Nut" and then continue to drag Nut instead. Doesn't make town sense at all to me.
