Ermagerd, you're orange. I don't care. What are your other gripes?
I am a bit annoyed right now, tbh. So not a good time for me to engage. You came in here like an overwhelming force trying to wrench people to your opinions, and other peoples thoughts count, not just yours. People listen to you and you are making reads on cursory reads. I did not think your LC case was convincing, I know I am not orange, and I guess my gripe is that you come in here like you're the mafia player wrangler. It's not you, it's me.

Dinner, dog walks, etc.

[mention]Sloonei[/mention] will we be pushing the end time any later? 4:30 is super bad for me, I can't stop after work if I have to, and I can't go to stores before work becasue that is when only over 60's are allowed. I don't want you to rearrange the thread just for me, but isn't Bartolo Colon worth it?

Can you be specific about why it's crappier than the other crap list?
Becasue I am at the very bottom of this one, save one space. I might have been second from the bottom on the last one, too, but I don't think there was a red person on that one, so this just looks worse. It's also even worse becasue he produced it after I told him to read more after he said the first one was based on cursory reads, and I told him to read more.

You're all right. What is there in Day 1 that you couldn't have done as a baddie?
You tell me.

But if I had to point to one thing, I don't think I can quite fake the exact progression of reads changes I do as town when I'm scum. It's very hard to fake complete re-assessment like that, and I did that with Michelle.
But you woudn't be faking the reassessment, would you? If you were bad and you knew she wasn't? It woud be easier to change your mind that to push the fake suspicion initially. I think you are downplaying your skills in this post as well.

I don't necessarily suspect you, but I don't not suspect you either. But you downplaying how good you actuallyare at things like this ... I never saw you as a falsely modest person, and we leave it there for now.

Linki @MP, OK, it didn;t read that way to me, but I could be overreading it becasue I used to be so good at reading you, and I am trying to find my way to that again.

linki, Oh for Christs sake.
That's (the bolded/underlined) the strangest thing you've ever said to me.

I may come across like an arrogant fuckface sometimes in game, but I'm absolutely that modest of my own abilities.

I appreciate the conversation either way, so no worries from my end.

Why is this unproductive? Laying out an opinion before the lynch post goes up lets people know where you are re the lynch to come. I am honestly perplexed by this, telling someone how to post. Have things changed that much since I last played?

Thanks, but I am leaving my vote where it is. That last bit, that is totally how LC talks. I think this is nitpiky to the extreme. I am not saying I find him a town read, but I don't find him more suspicious than I do Epi, or Michelle for that matter.

Nutes/me/SVS can’t all be bad
I town read all of you until Nut ignored my question earlier and said she is ok with my lynch.
So what's your point?
You said earlier that me and Nanook were two of your stronger town reads, yet we have both voted for you. You seem to be able to separate suspicion of you from a person being bad in those case, why not nutellas? Did I miss something? I admit I am not fully caught up.

I looked 'sheeping' up, using that "+ Mafia" modifier Dizzy advised me to use. And I might be careful about it, I can tend to tunnel at times. But I think I'm pretty much staying on track here.

Ha ha this is exactly what I thought when you were asked that question ha ha. It does make me feel better about you that you said it, although with my read in Champs being so abysmally wrong, I won't green light you over it. My feels apparently re you are not reliable.
Epignosis wrote: Mon Mar 30, 2020 3:55 pm Except there was no need of me to even mention that I suspected you and Michelle coming into Day 1. I keep that to myself, and we don't have this conversation at all.
(I spoilered this full post at the bottom for context, *this* post didn't need to be so unweildy. I mainly wanted to reply to this one bit that I snipped ^^)

Exactly, there was no need if you were a civvie. As a baddie, though ... what I thought about that remark was that you were possibly setting up distance with a teammate. You know, "distancing"? Setting yourself up so that if you had to throw her under the bus, you had that hook, "Oh, I thought she was bad Day One!" *OR* you were setting me up as a baddie if Michelle got lynched, "Hrm :ponder: maybe I was right Day one and they were teammates". Although that is most def a bigger stretch than the distancing possibility.
Epignosis wrote: Mon Mar 30, 2020 9:39 pm [VOTE: Nanook] aubergine
So the impression I got is tht you voted for him becasue he gave a vague reason when voting for you. Is that correct?

I read Nanook so abysmally in the Champs game, and he looks very much the same here to me. Plus he was setting up the game he is hosting yesterday, so a good reason for a somewhat detached Day One in general.

Do you think he should answer Michelles GTH before she does it herself?

I will reread him today while at work. But I am expecting that we won't stay open for business much longer, so they may be pushing up to wrap up looses stuff, but I should be home more than an hour before EOD.

Leaving my vote where it is for now.

Yeah, I am kinda "why" about this, too.

When I answered your question about the DH since this is something I know, and feel very strongly about, Michelle acted like this was somehow sooper helpful information, when the host told us it was a flavor theme. My post was borderline OT banter and it gave me a chance to be pedantic, lol.

That was the extent of our interaction before I said I thought she seemed to be trying too hard.

If Epi thinks I, as a baddie in a format I am not comfortable with, would engage in fluffing with my teammates in thread, well, he don't know me at all do he? and I don't really know Michelles game, but from what people said about her in the Champs game, I gather she is a good player, is fluffing her teammates something she is known to do? It seems like a bizarre thing for baddies to do.

So yeah, not sure why he would think that.

Re Mac v Epi, I don't agree with everything Mac says on a quick skim, but I think he really believes it. So I feel good about him, between the two I am more wary of Epi.

Back to catch up.
I want to town read SVS for this train of thought despite not agreeing with it.

Personally, I think suspicions that are based on whether someone should know something or not are grasping at straws.

Why would you say that between the two you’re more wary of Epi? You had just said you town read Mac, so why would you need to choose between the two?
I was putting it in the context of Mac v Epi, as Mac was pushing the suspicion of Epi. Of the two, I feel better about Mac, even though I am not sure I agree with him. But I don't see bad Mac going hard after Epi day 1 with a bullshit case (and in this game, any case a baddie makes is a bullshit case). For one thing, I am not sure I buy his answer about why he felt she & I were teammates. It read to me like he was trying to set me up as a preemptive teammate of hers should she be lynched and flip bad. Plus the fact that Epi had to be pushed to answer the question three times (why he thought Michelle and I were teammates, once by nutella and twice by me) is also part of why I am wary of him. If plays into that same preemptive set up feel I got from him.

Anyway the day is long and I expect activity later because of time zones.
My family thing went longer than I expected, my stepmother and sister never shut up. My stepmom thinks they're gonna lock down NY kinda like Escape from NY but sick people not prisoners, it might have been funny if she were not so hysterical. Then my dog got needy and I just wound up doing other things.

If you read the last post I made, you will see why I felt you were a bit over the top. I felt like you were fluffing me, and trying too hard to appear helpful and town, and then you trying to take one work out of a sentence and make it into a suspicion also felt like trying too hard. I am a tone reader and play by how people made me feel, and you made me feel like you wer building up your post count without actually saying anything. But I don't really know your game. I just checked and see you were a civvie in Champs, I will try to make time to reread you there. You will note I have not voted for you yet. I made a one sentence observation and it turned into this,lol.

Other than me and my usage of the word "seem", has anything else in the thread gotten your eye?
LC, how compatible do you think this perspective is with SVS’s town game?
I know you didn't ask me, but I think it's imensely compatible :noble:

It wasn't so much the word seem, as the "No U" of it. I made a one sentence remark, and she tried to turn it back around on me. Taking that one word felt like a suspicion looking for a reason, if I am expressing that correctly.

Initially it felt like she was buddying me, and that is something I know you are sensitive to yourself. Then the No U. So this is what most sticks out to me.

It's early, and my suspicions will likely change. But that is where I am for now.

American League? What is that? Are all the teams American? etc. Michelle's reaction to your explanation sounded like, "Okay, we can check off interacting with one another" to me.
No offense taken. I was actually trying to not be any more pedantic than I needed to be. Is "Inteacting with a teammate" on a checklist? It isn't whether a person interacts with another, it's how they do it that counts.

I don't think that the way I explained a complex thing and her reaction to it would make us teammates. Reading that interaction and taking myself out of the equation, I read it just the same as I did initially, that she was fluffing me. If anything, I might have been a tad offended by the way you seemed to think that I would interact in the thread with a teammate this way, lol.

But everyone thinks differently, and I'd be lying if I said I even remotely understand how you think, so thanks.

But my God, Epi, you failed to interact with Sloonei in the Game of Champions! Don't you see?

I had three mafia teammates. I interacted plenty with two of them. You can research those stats for yourself.

Why
Yeah, I am kinda "why" about this, too.

When I answered your question about the DH since this is something I know, and feel very strongly about, Michelle acted like this was somehow sooper helpful information, when the host told us it was a flavor theme. My post was borderline OT banter and it gave me a chance to be pedantic, lol.

That was the extent of our interaction before I said I thought she seemed to be trying too hard.

If Epi thinks I, as a baddie in a format I am not comfortable with, would engage in fluffing with my teammates in thread, well, he don't know me at all do he? and I don't really know Michelles game, but from what people said about her in the Champs game, I gather she is a good player, is fluffing her teammates something she is known to do? It seems like a bizarre thing for baddies to do.

So yeah, not sure why he would think that.

Re Mac v Epi, I don't agree with everything Mac says on a quick skim, but I think he really believes it. So I feel good about him, between the two I am more wary of Epi.

Back to catch up.

linki, thanks. You google "strongman" and mafia terminology is not what comes up,lol.
But if you google "strongman + mafia" it's exactly the first thing that comes up. :llama:
I didn't think of that, and there are also lists of all of those prenamed roles when you click on the links, cool. Alot of times I feel dopey not getting the jargon, I used to let it bother me, now I just come out and ask.

I came up in a totally "role madness" background, I was playing for years before I even found out any of this stuff existed.

I will be in and out all day.

What is a "strongman"? And a "Role Doc", that is a role checker, right?
Wait, do we know the setup? lol
Strongman kill is a kill that can' fail/goes through protection. Role Doc I just assume is a doctor that can protect certain roles or if they get the role right on who they protect (but I don't actually know that one).

Re: Take Me Out at the Ballgame! [DAY 1]

It's been a long time since I played with MP. I do recall all you had to do back in the day was say the word "Randomize" and he would appear in the thread as if summoned by a wizard, full of righteous indignation, ready to smite people.

But that's probably not the case anymore.

LC's post was bad and MP hasn't posted which is also bad. So it's Michelle plus one of LC and MP. I'm good a mafia sometimes, you've seen it. And if I'm not, blame my teammate Epi.
MP has posted, there were three lulz banter posts about DH/Dharma Helper. They were all before Day One actually started, during zero.

Anyway the day is long and I expect activity later because of time zones.
My family thing went longer than I expected, my stepmother and sister never shut up. My stepmom thinks they're gonna lock down NY kinda like Escape from NY but sick people not prisoners, it might have been funny if she were not so hysterical. Then my dog got needy and I just wound up doing other things.

If you read the last post I made, you will see why I felt you were a bit over the top. I felt like you were fluffing me, and trying too hard to appear helpful and town, and then you trying to take one work out of a sentence and make it into a suspicion also felt like trying too hard. I am a tone reader and play by how people made me feel, and you made me feel like you wer building up your post count without actually saying anything. But I don't really know your game. I just checked and see you were a civvie in Champs, I will try to make time to reread you there. You will note I have not voted for you yet. I made a one sentence observation and it turned into this,lol.

Other than me and my usage of the word "seem", has anything else in the thread gotten your eye?

:ponder: this word, "seems" looks like you want to shade me but you can't because you don't have any reason to scum read me.
No not at all. That's how you seem to me. What do you think of what I said, as opposed to how I said it?
You said I try hard. You didn't speculate about my AI. I think you avoid the point here.
What does"AI" mean?

And you aren't making a point, lol. You're picking at my word choices. My observation stands, I think you overall early impression was that you were trying too hard. You picking a word out of the post and trying to turn it back onto me isn't helping, it ALSO feels like you're trying too hard to push back.

Look I didn't even say "seem" once. Better?

Re: Take Me Out at the Ballgame! [WARM-UPS]

EBWOP,

This is where you find the players who can neither THROW NOR catch a ball, but they sure can hit. So it tends to (artificially, imo) inflate both their hitting and pitching statistics as compared to the National League, which does not have this rule.

And in retrospect, maybe this whole post shuld have been in pedantic pink but meh.

Not sure if to put this in green or not, so went with not, since it is a poll question.

Originally, baseball was set up with 9 field positions, one of which is a pitcher, with the teams alternating between batting at the ball attempting to make runs, and pitching the ball and controlling the field, trying to stop the other teams runners from scoring. Nine field positions, nine batters.

The American League has the DH rule which allows them to protect their pwecious pitcher and his arm by allowing another player to hit for him, changing the original rules of the game. This allows them to keep their pitcher in the game longer, with less stress on his arm and less chance of him being hurt while hitting or baserunning.

It also allows them to put a power slugger into their line up, generally either a player who is too large and slow, or too old and slow but still able to hit hard, to play a position. This is where you find the players who can neither hit not catch a ball, but they sure can hit. So it tends to (artificially, imo) inflate both their hitting and pitching statistics as compared to the National League, which does not have this rule.

The DH rule is evil. Hiss.

I am still working, my employer is considered essential (lol) so my routine that way is not interrupted, but my spring is so so so messed up with no baseball. My local sports network is playing classic Mets games, and I am watching them, but I am so sad.
