Aether, I'm not sure what you mean by this. Could you try phrasing the question differently?

I also want to second that it's been great having you on the site so far. I hope that your experience here has been and remains enjoyable, and that you continue to grace us with your presence.

No.

Vote's a vote.

GO CAVS!
Infinite butter for JJJJJJJ.
Seriously, though, happy to see a fellow fan on here!

Important Hostly Updates:

Day 6 may end an hour or two late. We are having a happy hour with work tomorrow to welcome the summer interns, and I am expected to attend.

Assuming there are subsequent Nights and/or Days:

Night 6 will probably end early, due to schedule constraints in llama's life. This means that Night 6 will be shortened, probably by 2-3 hours. You still have to get your PMs submitted in time for them to count, so make sure to plan accordingly.

Days beyond this one will be 24 hours, in order to keep up the pace of this speed game.

#3253

well that isn't very reassuring.

#3254

Cavs.

That's what happens when I vote as soon as I wake up instead of having my morning caffeine first.

Seriously? Hosts, I can't believe you asked this guy to replace back in.

I agree, in fact it sucks.

I think a vote is a vote, and I voted aether.

#3258

Cavs are fucked without Irving.

#3259

I may have been a bit grumpy and thrown my toys. Sorry hosts. I don't think the decision is a fair one, but I do understand it is yours to make.

#3260

By majority, I mean, is someone lynched when the number of votes for them reach a certain number? It seems like there's no such thing on this site though.

How long until EoD from now?

#3261

My lynch seems to have been decided. No point even modkilling myself now. Please let me know what else I can do to benefit town!

Ah, I see. Well if it became truly insurmountable, the Day could be ended early. However, I usually only do this if every vote has been placed, as there is sometimes a penalty for missing votes. There is also a lot of potential lynch manipulation in this game. And more practically, I have to leave of work right now, so the lynch will have to end at or shortly after the scheduled EoD, which is 6:26pm Eastern (US) Time.

#3263

T answer your EoD question as you asked it, since I know time zones can be weird, EoD is 14 hours from when you posted asking when it was.

You've observed everyone who has cased the last couple phases. Who do you feel was most manipulative about it, or most unfair? Is it consistent with your last rainbow?

#3265

cased you*

#3266

If this game sees a Day 7, i hope nobody rushes their votes. We'll need to talk it through.

#3267

I can understand why many members of town would view me as mafia. That doesn't make anyone more or less town imo. What I would like you to look at after I go is who seems genuine in their casing/s against me and holding some reservations, and who has conveniently jumped on board.

My rainbow hasn't changed that much, except I feel worse about Vompatti.

fingersplints
Dragon D. Luffy
JaggedJimmyJay
sanmateo
Golden 2.0
Vompatti
G-Man

#3268

Voted G-Man, but please do not rule out Vompatti and the others.

#3269

Btw, if you're town and think there is a good chance you'll be nightkilled, please do use the next night phase to discuss your thoughts thoroughly.

#3270

5v1 tomorrow, you should have good chances. Maybe 6v1 if someone manages to protect themselves from being NKed. idk. Good luck.

I smell a lynch stop.

Even if you don't offer a full list G-Man, at least give me your three most likely mafia.

~ i think he has mostly played to his town meta (acknowledging that he is still new enough to mafia to not have played as any other alignment often enough to have any established counter-meta).

Honestly that's it.

Reasons why sanmateo is mafia:

~ He has taken part in exactly zero mafia lynches. when BR was lynched, he missed the vote. when Roxy was lynched, he voted for aether. when Bass was lynched, he voted for G-Man.

~ He was vocally defensive of both Bass and Roxy when they were threatened with lynches, and later chalked it up to simply being wrong all game long. in one of my earliest mafia-aligned games, i employed that exact strategy -- intentionally be wrong in every read and see how long i can get away with it

~ I think his interactions with all three of the dead mafia players reflect poorly on him. My exact conclusions were: w/r/t BR, he looked barely okay (which was frankly too generous). w/r/t Roxy, he looked worse. w/r/t Bass, he looked so bad it's extreme WIFOM.

idk how i'm supposed to defend myself from this case without doing a pile of wifom. but ftr this is the worst game i've played. i haven't been right since like day 2, i dont even wanna keep coming back and checking the thread at this point

Only just realised this is possible. I haven't kept track of guns and butters the whole game, I don't even know how many I have lol

#3280

Is it possible for someone else to stop my lynch? I wouldn't recommend that tbh. Once town is 100% sure I'm town there would be more clarity for future scumhunting.

#3281

Mafia might want to do that for the sake of stalling, and also creating confusion. If you're town, it puts us on a tricky position next phase. And if you're mafia the benefits are obvious.

I wouldn't advise town to do it, for the same reason. We need more information, not more confusion. And we have enough time to make mislynches.

#3282

Happy 300 posts, DDL!

#3283

Posting my rainbow. No I don't care if people get nightkilled for looking like townies. This is how the game works, dwi.

Likely mafia

acrosstheaether
G-Man

Beats Me

Vompatti

Slightly Town

sanmateo
Golden
JJJ

Not having anyone on likely town right now. I have tinfoils against pretty much everyone. The ordet is the actual order of suspicion, though.

Linki: wow thanks MP, I hadn't noticed myself.

#3284

What can I say? I like numbers. :P

Jay is getting close to Post #666.

#3285

DDL, what makes you lean slight town on sanmateo?

#3286

@Site admins

Can we please ban Majiffy (player from 2015 Mafia Championships Game #5) pre-emptively? He has told a player to literally commit suicide in the game. Like not in the context of the game but irl.

#3287

We have a strict don't be an asshat (or jerk or whatever you want to call it) policy here, in order to maintain the excellent community we have been able to develop. So do not fret.

It's really a shame that Game 5 was tarnished by such play, in my opinion.

Ninja'd, I just sent you a PM about it

#3289

I'm gonna flip if he gets a wildcard. D***head better be permabanned on 2+2.

QFT

I didn't follow Games 4 and 5 very much, but I have been vaguely keeping up, and I just couldn't believe his behavior. I didn't like the way people were bashing each other's gameplay even in Game 3 (Banks's constant bashing of Turnip and others for "not playing the game" when most of his post quality was questionable also annoyed the hell out of me), so to see what happened in Game 5 is discouraging.

I'm curious as to who will be awarded a wildcard, but perhaps this is better discussion for the Championship thread.

#3291

Also, where's my resurrection?

#3292

I have no problem with how Banks went after me in that game btw. I was totes bad and I didn't give him much to work with. I haven't been keeping up with the recent games though so I'm not sure what's happening there.

Turnip Head wrote:I have no problem with how Banks went after me in that game btw. I was totes bad and I didn't give him much to work with. I haven't been keeping up with the recent games though so I'm not sure what's happening there.

I don't really either, I just was annoyed by the consistent implication that quantity > quality when there were many posts throughout the game that didn't contribute much of anything, IMO. That said, there was much amazing town play all around, and I wouldn't argue that you didn't give them much to go off of either. :P

Game 3 actually went well; it's not even a comparison to Game 5. There just was some tension, particularly at the start of Game 3, as I'm sure you recall, that wasn't exactly pleasant.

#3294

Well yeah, he definitely posted too damn much, but that's just my fault for not killing him sooner lol lol :P

#3295

Turnip Head wrote:Well yeah, he definitely posted too damn much, but that's just my fault for not killing him sooner lol lol :P

Indeed.

#3296

Speaking of posting too much, MP is still trying to break the posting record even while he's dead.

#3297

I've hardly shown my face in the spectator chat since Game 3 because I was arguing over and over that your behavior was almost certainly due to you being the Seer, so thanks for that. :P

(And yes, I continue talking, ignoring my own thought to move this discussion to the other thread)

#3298

lol fail

Damn! You got me.

Seriously, it's only because I'm ridiculously procrastinating homework because talking with you folks is way more fun.
