Colin, this is what you said.

I know what I said. Do you?

FAQ: Did you randomise the alignments? Yes. In this game the players pre-selected their character, not their alignment or role. 100% of alignments were selected based on randomisation. No single player was specifically selected to a certain alignment. The roles were designed based on three factors:...

wolbre wolbre, I do not buy your quest for the missing boob one bit. No sir I do not. Well what the hell do you want me to do about it... I have a series of quests and finding my partner is one of them. I can almost guarantee that someone else didn't pick the other boob... no shit sherlock. Someone...

[VOTE: wolbre] aubergine

How is this I've pointed out to her how you can use your choice of role to influence your likely affiliation meaningfully different from what I said? "Complete misrepresentation," lol, gimme a break. Because dunya went after me for suggesting I’d picked a role that was more likely than no...

I play Mafia with a bunch of Patriots fans? What the fuck?

How is this

This, too, struck me as odd — we're supposed to believe that to justify the mechanic of looking for the other half, but that looks like a big fat lie right about now.

People can make all the reads they want. What I see from dunya is an unwillingness to let other strong personalities drive the town narrative. In particular, the 'you pick your role, not your affiliation' line that she's trotting out multiple times is terrible. I've pointed out to her how you can u...

What do you see that tells you this?

Tinfoil.

You people are insane. But I’m more insane for thinking that JJJ vs. dunya is mafia on mafia.

1) Congrats are due to Sloonei, dunya and speed for some of the best scum play I’ve ever been privvy to. Sloonei wriggling out of it when he did especially means I will never trust him again! 2) Kudos to town for lynching me when they did; I still disagree pretty solidly with the rationale, but it w...

You know what, fuck it, I want to see what Mac cooked up for the really dumb role I sent in.

I'll keep thinking about it but I'm really struggling to find time for Mafia with my new job so I may have to sit the games out for a while.

Posting at work.

[VOTE: SLOONEI] aubergine

Non-wagon voters, better hitch to one, lest ye be accused and misidentified as scum...

Hi.

I believe you believe my guilt, but I think others are taking advantage. Sloonei, Dom, potentially wolbre. At least.

Not gonna repeat myself. Busy, sorry. Check ISO.

Nova, townish. Epi, sig, town. Those were my reads. Again, check ISO.

Colin what do you think of Sloonei? I didn't like his post calling me out at all. It felt superficial, not to mention it didn't hold up as pointed out previously. I have to say I have forgotten how Sloonei plays so I need to reread the substance of your argument again (as well as his responses) but...

As easily I can: One benefit of voting off-wagon is that it gets the town to think about other candidates, especially if they're someone who has flown under the radar with regards to that lynch. That's the primary reason I decided to follow my gut about lunalee. Another benefit would be forcing a po...

And again, to be clear: Colin wasn't an option because your objective was to break the tie? My objective is always to vote somewhere it can make a difference. I don't think there is ever any value in town voting off wagon, no matter how much you might think every wagon is civ. I don't care about br...

It's not more likely to get scrutinized since the consequences are less important. You weren't trying to hold someone different up to a light since at the time of your vote that lynch wasn't going anywhere. You completely avoided participating in who gets lynched even though you had a choice betwee...

MacDougall wrote: ↑Wed Apr 25, 2018 5:18 pm Yes Colin. You threw your vote away when it mattered because you know who the Mafia are.

Nope. I have suspects though.

Colin, put yourself aside and ask yourself if my case makes sense without you in it. I don't think it does. I didn't consider that my vote was suspicious at all before I cast it, actually, but in thinking about it, I think the other scenario I outlined in my last post would be more indicative of sc...

Read Golden's case against me on the last page, and his posts that followed the lynch, and ask yourself, "Does this [the case against Colin] make any sense?" I'm interested in hearing your answers. It does make some sense. You voting off-wagon while 3 people are almost tied for the lynch ...

Catch-up time. Sig [this part]If sig's bad, Colin is bad too.[/right here] explanation? Colin's post, boiled down "I have a reason not to vote nova and a reason not to vote epi and... err... there's one specific post about sig that isn't bad and then nothing changed my mind... so I'll vote off ...

I'm interested in hearing your answers.

Hopefully after tonight info roles will be able to point us in some better directions.

Gonna have to be a maybe for me for the time being, but this looks like a lot of fun.

Golden wrote: ↑Tue Apr 24, 2018 6:00 pm There is literally no worse place to be than ten minutes before a vote where your vote could betray your connection to a teammate, and I feel like you squeeze a lot of blood right there.

"Squeeze a lot of blood"?

These wagons suck. At best, I help contribute to a tie-breaker where I think it's probably a civ. Would that be much better? Much better. If the poll only included those three people, which would you vote for? I dunno. Pick a number out of a hat. The cases for them are uninspiring at best. At least...

I don't like the case for nova right now; reading the thread, it looks like it's based on the whole sig thing, but then why wouldn't people just vote sig? Feels weird to me, but sig doesn't seem like scum either. I don't think using hedge words is necessarily a scum tell, I think some people just ta...

Other ISOs at random:

Marmot has pretty much just posted jokes, including a silly tentative vote on Sloonei. Is that normal?

JOH is someone I haven't played with before but his ISO is similar to Marmot's.

lapluie has made one post and it's not substantive. Busy, or lurking? Question for the thread: do you think that posting activity is often alignment indicative, and if so, in what circumstances? We had a bit of debate over this in FE but I'd like to hear more about it now considering we have a lot o...

Anyone who says my defence is 'this is my meta, believe me' is avoiding all the substantive answers I also gave to Mac in response to his questions. I don't mean to reduce your entire position to that, but rather I'm saying it's a line of reasoning that I don't (and can't, because we've never playe...

People who have played a lot with Golden, who haven't weighed in: what say you?

Some thoughts: Scotty's drunk posts make me read him as town, simply because I don't think a scum would try to play drunk. I'll stand corrected if anybody can counter. Between Mac and Golden, I'm more impressed by Mac. He's my strongest town read right now, I think he's digging pretty deep into post...

Holy wow, you people have posted a lot.

I should let you all know that I just started a new job so I have less time overall right now, and if it seems like I'm lurking, I more than likely just haven't seen the thread yet. Hello, it’s good to be playing with you again. Got any thoughts on things so far? Up to this quoted post, nothing see...

All caught up just before the next one goes — Royal Blood wasn't my thing, I couldn't get past the vocals, they reminded me of Thom Yorke's lesser moments in the 90s. I think I've heard Replica before but couldn't tell; either way, as a genre it's not something I take to very much. It was fine as ba...

I wonder what playing Mafia with Socrates would be like

I've fallen behind a bit the last few weeks, but I'm trying to catch up now! Operation: Mindcrime is something that I would have probably dug a lot more a decade ago, but these days, it doesn't do much for me. The concept wasn't very interesting for me and I guess I wished there were some different ...

I just clicked back onto the index after making that post and it was exactly what you said — an older version of the homepage where I'm not logged in and your reply is the most recent in this thread. So I'll clear my cache and see what's what over the next few days.

No, I'm using it on desktop these days, but it hasn't happened since I posted that, so maybe false alarm?

I came into The Wilderness having heard The Earth is Not a Cold Dead Place and a few other compositions by EiTS over the years. I've always liked their sound but I do agree with the prevailing notion in music fan circles that it's kinda ground-floor crescendo-core and the pieces never connected with...

I've been noticing the past couple days that I'll be logged out after having logged in, usually if I navigate back to the main index. If I refresh the browser (Chrome) I go back to being logged in. Not sure if it is something on my end or not, and not a big nuisance, but kind of strange.

colonialbob, let's talk ASOIAF theories!

Spoiler: show

I would love to play Mafia with antreas
