Not sure how I feel about Rbz's theory, however, if you are civ, then shouldn't this read "...but this IS very weak" as opposed to "seems" and "kinda" ?

Also It could read is very weak, but it isn't very weak it just seems kinda weak. Writing is very weak is more confrontation in my opinion as well as implying it was meant to be weak. While seems kinda weak is just that is seems weak but it might not be.

This is quibbling over something very small, why if I'm civ would I right it the first way instead of the second way?
This might be small, but I've seen people get lynched for wordplay on Day 1 enough in the past.

Same as it ever was.
I agree, in that Mafia have more need to "craft" their posts than Civvies. Sig's accidental reveal that he was going back over his post before posting it to make sure it's just right is a little suspicious to me.

I don't see where sig admitted to going back over his post. I may be misinterpreting something in context, but it looks to me like he was describing why he used the wording he used and not why he switched from one wording to another. What are you referring to LC?

I'm a bit surprised you haven't taken the opportunity to be as RDW as possible under these circumstances. Is it just the interface of the website that's holding you back?

Is there anything specific that you feel diiny has directed at your?

I'm not sure what you're asking me Brian. Whaddya mean?

Would you agree that Roxy responded in this manner to Diiny when he went after her?
I was wondering about this as well, but I know nothing of any of the syndicaters metas. Is this how roxy normally responds? (It really reminds me of a aether response, one that can't really be read), Maybe somebody that is used to her play style could speak up?

In my limited experience playing with Roxy, this is definitely typical of her as mafia and as town. I remember her saying many of the same things to me in the Economics game as mafia, and I am pretty sure she has carried the same banner as a townie elsewhere. My assumption is that Roxy genuinely does have her own methods and will be inclined to play her own way regardless of what others expect of her or even what alignment she is playing.

...unless this was the way you indicated a vote. I thought you just coloured that to get my attention, but maybe it was intended also as a vote indicator. Too subtle.

It's actually colored and bolded. Zebra was correct earlier when he said I am using color in addition to bold to indicate votes. When I use the plain bold on this white text I seriously can't even tell it's bolded. It wasn't a terribly substantive vote by me for you though; I tend to use votes as a way of poking people hard and encouraging direct intercourse.*

You responded admirably to my request for specific cases of bea making civ-oriented defenses of people instead of neutral-oriented defense. I'm looking for somewhere else to put my vote now.

*How about that sentence, Golden and Diiny? :P

This might be what BWT and LC were referring to re: sig.

sig wrote:I always read through my posts as I'm sure you've seen my spelling and grammar skills aren't always the best when typing, especially when I type quickly. It seems as if your trying to find more reasons to find me suspicious, I've played as mafia before and while I'm not great I wouldn't have done something quite so stupid.

This is also all in regards to my wording of Seems/Kinda/Very which I've already said was a mistake on my part. This seems to me to be a desperate attempt to get me lynched.

Also this was all started by Bernie Sanders and honestly what does he know about spelling he is a socialists? (I only kid no offense intended)

sig, suggesting there is a "desperate attempt to get you lynched" in motion right now is rather hyperbolic. Why do you think BWT, LC, or anyone else would be desperate to lynch you on Day 1?

kneel4justice wrote:Looking back on Zebra's case against JJJ after he has had the chance to defend/explain himself, I'm inclined to think that there is not much to it.
That being said, I did get a few pings from JJJ. A few comments made me wonder if he was trying to buddy up to players (1. He complimented Zebra's game-play and even mentioned hopes that they could work together, 2. He seemed to really want to establish a connection with Diiny), but I am not sure if that is just him being genuine and enthusiastic. He is very involved and appears to be scum-hunting, so I have mixed thoughts on him.

I can understand why those things would look like buddying. In fact, they are.

Buddying can be an effective strategy for bad guys I know, but it also has a place in the townie repertoire. If there is one word that could summarize how I like to play mafia as a townie, it's "teamwork". I love to build cooperative relationships in the thread with people that I see a reason to trust, and to expand those networks as the game wears on. That makes the process of elimination significantly simpler, and it's especially doable in this game where dead townies are allowed to win with their living team mates.

That's not to say I'm placing total undying trust in anyone. I am tentatively trusting people for whom there is a substantive reason relative to the context of the game for the sake of progressing my teamwork-oriented town strategy.

True, but I don't like this. Don't draw attention away from your own lack of activity; be active! I want to see the brian I know and, if you'll q-quite forgive me, love. That said I'm only skimming so you may have shown that but this jumped out at me
Of the four games, i've played this being the 5th, I have not had the same meta in any game (although, this is open to interpretation), which makes that hardly true.
You haven't played identically, and yes you've only played 5 games, but I'm sure others will agree that you can have a certain undeniable townie aura at times, one that you've never managed to replicate as scum and that you're not showing as of yet.

Have you observed this townie aura from Brian in any game outside of his very first game? That was the game in which he screamed town to a number of people myself included, and then in his second game he did not "scream town" and ended up being mafia.

However, in each game since I think Brian's play has leveled off in such a way that he's not so readable. His performance as the cop is a good example.

I don't think it would be a silly thing to do, and I don't think it would be like building the case for your own lynch. I don't know where motel room was going when he asked you who has been suspicious of you (he should expand on that if he hasn't already), but I am underwhelmed that you didn't even consider that he might be going somewhere.

I'm struggling to read this post through townie eyes, SIG. What exactly could your potential "slip up" be in this situation, as a townie, which would progress motel room's hypothetical angle to get you lynched?

Note: going to use caps lock and large font to denote a vote now instead of colors.

I must say, your defense pretty much destroyed every point I had to make. The only thing that hasn't been countered (at this point of the megapost I'm still catching up) is the spontaneous votes for you from Epi and sig, and since that only works as a point with the implication that the three of you are a team, (and yes, I know how crazy it is to suggest that on the first day, but I can't help what sticks out to me) I'm willing to let you off the hook (again) for now, but I couldn't honestly say that I reciprocate your town read yet.

Those two were talking about Kansas. Do you not believe them when they say their Dusk 0 votes were based entirely on their mutual fondness for Kansas? I thought the content of their posts during that period supports that explanation.

Rbzmncaeaei wrote:
JaggedJimmyJay wrote:I have my doubts that most mafia teams would be concerned enough with a "Dusk 0" poll that they'd deliberately coordinate their votes beyond a couple people maybe on any one person.
Damn it 3J, I want you to be town now. Stop saying stuff like this.

It's my assumption. I might not be right, I dunno.

I do know though that I put very little thought into my own Dusk 0 vote. It didn't pertain to a lynch, it was for some unknowable game mechanic.

Hey bcornett24, usually even random votes are accompanied by a semi-relevant reason (hey, like this one!). What's your objective with this one, m8?
What did I just say.

...

Then again with the context that this is a lynch vote, not a goal-unknown vote, that is kind of suspicious on bcornett's part.

I don't know what you're saying here. What was your concern with my post to Brian?

You needing to be shown this is not helping my potential town read for you.

I don't like vague statements. When people make them, I prod them to be more specific, and to point to real examples that support their statements. Choutas made a vague assertion about Rico, so I implored him to give me more -- both so I could judge the validity of his point against Rico for myself, and so I could judge Choutas himself for making the vague statement in the first place.

That's what I do in every game.

Sorry friends it was a long weekend here and I've been doing lots of fun stuff. Now that boredom returns I will play more.

Finally someone is the combo breaker. What'd I get to? 15 in a row?

seaside wrote:more low key than bragging about having it worked out before day 1 has even started.

I didn't take that comment seriously. I think Mac has been more low key in this game than almost everyone, and I doubt it's a deliberate strategy. He just hasn't been here. I hope that changes soon regardless of his alignment, because RYM Mafia probably doesn't last the first 30 games without him.

Anyway Seaside, I think the suspicion expressed by motel room is valid enough because there's really nothing in Mac's posts in either thread that ought to suggest specifically that he is the rogue.

You mean the game where I false-claimed cop because I was under intense pressure and thought there was absolutely no way that bcornett was the cop, and then pushed to the wire he had to claim cop for real because no one counter-claimed, and I realized I had made a huge mistake?

Seaside suggested he thinks you're the rogue. motel room and I have been questioning him about why he thinks so.

Swearing is legal here as long as you're not abusive to people.

MacDougall wrote:Is there really a discussion going on about my potential role based on what like the 1 or 2 posts I've made?

On the site, and in this game specifically, there are no formal rules about swearing itself. Some players may be viewing the page at work and could have it blocked by a swearing filter (we've seen this happen before to Epi, who teaches at high school). :P And there are more female players at this site than what you RYM Mafiaers are used to, probably, so just keep that in mind.

So my "rule" is be mindful of other players and use your best judgment.

However, the most important rule here (site-wide and in the game) is Don't be an asshat (which is what we like to call being disrespectful) to other players.

In other words, as long as swearing isn't used as a tool to be mean or disrespectful to someone else, by all means use swear words, as there is no formal censor.

Linki: Or what Jay said.

#519

I've had company (birdwithteeth11, in fact) since Saturday afternoon, Mondays are a long day for me, and I have a backlog of PhD work just banging on my door. As a result, my presence will be limited today. But that's exactly what my awesome co-host is here for!

Therefore, I want to stress: Please send all PMs, whether they be role powers, role questions, or anything really, to both me and Sloonei. At all times in the game. That way one of us can address them while the other may be preoccupied.

Thanks, folks!

#522

I think seaside tunnelling me is quite hilarious and possibly a slip. What possible reason could an RYM player have for trying to start a lynch party against a vocal and aggressive player on day 1?

Seaside is from the same city as me in Australia so he's fully aware of the fact that it's a long weekend here and that it was NRL and AFL Grand Final week so he'd have to assume I'm not around because of that.

Yet he pokes around trying to infer I'm playing it "low-key" when he's probably the only player here aware of the truth of the matter.

Ninja edit: I went fishing.

He's still listening to 2Pac and Biggie while you guys have moved to Nicki and Kanye.
Unfortunately I didn't pay much attention to the day 0 poll, but if this is accurate it's unusual to me. My first game with Seaside was probably in the early 70s, so you might have a different experience with him, but I don't think of his as a proactive player questioning players. What you're describing sounds more like rdw's meta or something. Sus to me.

I was describing rym behaviours to syndicators. Including Seaside's question to it. I have no idea what you're trying to prove tbh. Seaside is suss to you?

#525

Okay so you went to the grand final, so you'd be acutely aware of the fact that shit was happening this weekend.

I got needs and wants beyond tapping a keyboard. I do that all day for a job. Long weekend means sitting on the riverbank fishing for Mr MacDougall. That's a forum free zone.

In fairness to you I don't think that what you're doing here is necessarily scummy. I do think it's reaching though, but I will give you a pass that on day 1 you don't have much to go for.

I think you're just picking on me because I'm familiar and you're doing that thing where you gravitate to people you know at parties where there are loads of strangers haha.

#526

btw, i didn't call you out for being low key (well i did say generally we should lynch a lurker though). i called you out for not being low key in your post about working stuff out. like, it is suss as to come in on your first post and be like, ah i know what is going on blah blah. if mac was scum, he wouldn't of come in with that as his first post. but that isn't townie behaviour either. so i reakon rogue.

who were you going for in the league final?

brazilian bbq, beers, good music, good people during the day
then went to the final and it was insane

Anyone here familiar with sig wants to weigh in? Is he an easy button lynch often? Cos that response was all D-FENS

How is it that you can say that the case is good and well thought out but then move to immediately invalidate it? Isn't the latter action a result of the former being untrue?

Also can someone explain what BTSC is?

Day 1 is an extremely important phase, and when taken seriously it can be highly productive for town/civs. If the day is highly active and everyone makes their best effort to be involved in the continuing discussion, then there will be enough content for real, genuine suspicion to exist. And I would ask the Syndicateers to remember that in this game, if the town wins the game all of the town wins, dead or alive. This means we can be cooperative and transparent in the thread, and be less concerned about evading night kills and more concerned about eliminating the bad guys. That starts right now.

There are 8 people in this game that want to kill everyone else, and if you're not among them they want to kill you. Don't stand for that! They're trying to freaking murder you. They want to make soup out of your brains and toothpicks out of your bones. I hope we can work as a team right here in the thread from start to finish.

*puts down pom poms*

I'm not sure what you mean by wall, but I think we're referring to the same thing. Just an ordered list of reads from least to most suspicious. "Rainbow" lists incorporate colors to show the divisions of tiers.

It's the truth. I am not distancing as much as telling you guys I am even worse than what you remember. I've played one game the last 18 months and two the last 2 years if I remember correctly. That's about one game per year. In the last game I played as Momokuro and I was the worst player in the game. JJJ can testify that. Just throwing it preemptively in case I turn out to be the worst player in this also.

The sheer fact that you're in Sweden and play mafia instead of enjoying life proves you're nefarious. Definitely not a guy I'd trust.

That being said don't you find DrWilgy's post too much fluff with little substance?

I'm not in Sweden yet, but I will be in a few days. When I'm there, mafia will definitely take a back seat to seeing the world. My posting rate will probably plummet to the bare minimum. I'm actually picking my friend up at the airport in London today so it might plummet even sooner.

I didn't have that impression about Wilgy's post at a glance, no. I don't entirely remember everything in it though so I'll look again. Have you already stated what about it you found fluffy?

Also, I don't think you were terrible as momokuro. You were just killed too early to make your mark.

Nope, just reveling in the opportunity to engage MacDougall in a remotely animated mafia conversation. You compared my post to something you had an affinity for as mafia without quite stating what it makes you think of me.

He has only post that isn't complete roleplaying this http://www.mafiathesyndicate.com/viewto ... 50#p181650 his posts are mostly questions or mentioning Metas, the worthwhile part imo is this "So as I'm browsing it seems there isn't much worth quoting. Disagreements in play style seem to be at large here. I find it amusing and wonder where it will take us. I'll place a vote on BWT for now, until I have further information about what was stated day 0, and why it was stated. I'm with the others on abolishing RVS, and I won't be voting for JJJ, Epi, Diiny, or Choutas." He votes someone without giving reasons or claiming it's RVS and then says his supports the abolishment of RVS and that he won't vote for some of the guys without explaining why.
Maybe I'm reading too much into it?

I just finished reading the thread as you can probably tell by my scattered quotes.

It's hard not to focus on the RYM players since I know most of them better. Particularly the ones that have voted for me. It's like a double whammy of me wanting them to be scum.

I historically harbour suspicion of Jimmy so I always second guess my gut. That being said my gut here is telling me he's got something hidden behind that smiling good guy exterior.

*votes bea*

This post set off scumdar pretty bad. It reads tactical, mindful ... I don't like it. No other posts in Long Con's ISO trouble me. It just seems like a nervous first major action.

Probably the worst so far though has been Diiny. Syndicate players please note that even though we're both RYMers I have no idea if Diiny is the different name of someone else or is someone who started playing since I last played, it has been ages since I played on RYM. So Diiny might as well be Syndicate to me.

Diiny has made a lot of noise and really said very little. Tunneled one player who has barely posted and at the time that he chose to target her had way fewer posts than many others guilty of exactly what he accused her of including JJJ who he has allowed to buddy up to him way too easily. For a townie to let a guy like Jimmy wormtongue him the way he has is very off putting. Contrarily if you're scum you love what Jimmy is saying to you and you'd encourage it.

My vote is Diiny.

How would you rate Talking Heads Mafia (RYM #90)?
