[END] Talking Heads Mafia (RYM #90)

#4801

lol we skipped a night. The SK must be so mad.

#4802

Oh that's right, we skip Night 6! Awesome!

Linki: Don't forget the dead red Mac. Hope to see you around again.

Welp, not much I can say about that. Well played Mac, you've made me look like a moron.

Good job everyone who didn't listen to my stupid ass.

This is not going to be a fun day phase.

He didn't make you look like a moron. You made you look bad.

#4804

Syndicate friends! Do I need to click the "Delete poll" button before I can create a new poll? I assume that is what I have to do, but I am scared that this will create some odd scenario where I can't re-make a poll afterward.
Sincerely, your noob host.

#4805

Yep Sloonei, delete poll, then make a new one.

#4806

You orgasmed all over MacDougall being civilian after the Long Con lynch, and poopooed any effort by those of us who said it was a setup. You lead a few civilian lynches, and now we're left with "Welp, Mac, you really fooled me, even after my half-assed attempt to make it look like I couldn't believe the bullshit you were spewing about Epi being the SK."

Oh my my my.

Well actually I just tried to pressure you to do something rather than stay off the wagon but 1. I'm sure im in deep now anyway or whatever and 2. i don't know what your reluctance to be involved in the lynch says now that he's flipped scum.

I edited this post when I meant to quote it, OOPS. it was not a game-related post.

I have it though:

Get ready to feel really bad about yourself for even suggesting that Jay's scum, Epi.

Linki mokiji: If I were scum, wouldn't I have tried to save him? You and Jay threw some keen logic at me to do so, and Scumhenge would've had the perfect opportunity to save a scumbuddy without looking like it was really my decision. I stayed off it because I wasn't sold on either Mac or Diiny, and for my utter lack of confidence in myself. I'm sorry to play the real-life emotional card, but that's the troof.

I don't know why you think posting 600+ times by Day 6 is helpful to those of us who have to work, raise kids, cook dinner, and have interests other than Mafia.

I am used to playing in an environment where these things are not as big a factor.

Epignosis wrote:That's 100+ posts a phase. And you're losing, if you're a civilian. Do you ever stop to imagine how you could be part of the problem?

On this website? I might well be part of the problem. I mean no offense to anyone here of course, and I apologize to anyone who might be overwhelmed by my pace. My approach is the product of a long time spent playing this game in a place where it works. A lot.. I've won a ton of games as a townie and I have confidence that what I do is a contributing reason for that.

But The Syndicate is not RYM, and it is not the champs tournament. I acknowledge that. This is a site filled with lovely people, and I don't want to make their playing experience less fun.

Open question to everyone, and I ask that you please answer with honesty:

Do you want me to tone it down? I absolutely will if you ask me to. I'm not the center of the mafia universe.

If you do need me to cool down, please let me know which of these two things is the bigger challenge for you: my huge analytic posts, or the sheer number of posts.

No.

This comes off as markedly dickish. Not my intention. Good-natured ribbing, Three-J'd Fellow.

What about me? Am I still scum?

#4818

Strawhenge wrote:Get ready to feel really bad about yourself for even suggesting that Jay's scum, Epi.

I'll suggest what I like. Damn the consequences. I suggested that Mac was Mafia and it took ages to get him lynched.

Addendum:

#4819

I anticipate being accused of just about everything under the sun this day phase. It's already started.

I deserve it.

I'm going to just let it pile up before I start answering to it. I don't want this day phase to be spent entirely on Jay Is Scum/Jay Responds.

By all means, kick my ass and dump your votes all over me. I encourage you to remain alert about everything else though. Believe it or not, I am town.

I still think so. But my opinion is

Jay!

My primary option of the day, but now I'm going to go do other things.

Linki: That'll do I guess.

"Everyone does."

#4823

MacDougall made it a point to name everybody and his sister's lover as bad later on. I'm more interested in his early play when Long Con was still alive.

JaggedJimmyJay wrote:

MM is right...say what you want, but know I am not reading it all. I would suggest getting to the point of what you want to say in the fewest words possible and don't say everything that comes to mind. Just tell the thread what is important and move on. I do think Epi is right as well. Shorter and ewer posts will help the syndicaters keep up with what is actually going on which will allow for educated votes. We will get baddies more easily

#4825

How did I get so popular all of a sudden?

I planned to dedicate this monday evening to a solid few hours of mafia but some dumb late-night rl shit came up.

I'm being very irresponsible though and giving it until 3:30ish despite having to be up at 8 tomorrow. Any questions, fire 'em at me.

I might be getting modkilled tonight (?) so I'll dump my general ideas before I die in case they're at all helpful.

Initial reaction: Remember when MacDoug said that the Brian lynch was 'too easy'?

yeah I think either move would've been fine as scum - you'd either save him or reap the glory of a scum lynch. No move makes you look genuine.

#4827

Jimmy, never change. <3

Unless you're scum, in which case you can just stop posting altogether. That'd be nice.

Does anyone have a rundown of EOD polls handy? Who voted for whom, that sorta fing? Or are we all doomed to fish through this monster of a thread?

Linki mokiji: Right, but don't you think I'd have jumped at the opportunity to present that 50/50 chance? Of either saving my scumbuddy or reaping the glory of lynching him? I didn't even give that possibility a chance to occur.

#4830

im agreeing with you straw

#4831

Oh, okay. Misread it.

#4832

My concern isn't that people aren't reading my posts -- it's that I'm generating a volume and game pace that is causing people not to read other people's posts too. Like they see the thread size and just shut their laptops.

#4833

I for one have not had the time/energy/energytime to read this whole thread in-depth. However I'm loath to suggest to someone that they play a game differently for my benefit.

#4834

JaggedJimmyJay wrote:If you do need me to cool down, please let me know which of these two things is the bigger challenge for you: my huge analytic posts, or the sheer number of posts.

It's number.

People see "I have seventeen pages ain't nobody got time for that." Then they skim and vote and fuck off to whatever enchants them elsewhere.

People see "I have only two pages, but holy shit, these posts are full of content- something must be going down."

It's why so many articles online have becomes "listicles" now. I despise the word, but it relates to the modern brain: Many younger people won't read things that aren't in chunks for them. If they see a massive army of text, they will disintegrate. It's a sad state of affairs for an English teacher like me, but that's how it is.

Thank you. I've had the thread bookmarked, so didn't know that the poll thread existed.

Sig's vote on me is early but otherwise sets me off a bit. Complete with caveat/distancer and has no real reasoning in it other than my low post count.

Sig on Mac:

Mac I can see the arguments against him, but with the current trend of mislynching I'm unsure about him and need to think on it some.

Non-stance o-rama, and the mislynching thing doesn't even make sense to me

We're dealing with a Long Con / MacDougall team.

If you're good, go. Don't sit there and rue the day phase. If you're a civilian the day phase is yours.

#4844

Seaside's vote was the second on my wagon, but he's been tunnelling me all game so it doesn't seem that opportunistically scummy, even if the logic for his tunnelling is kinda sketchy at best as far as I can tell

What's kinda interesting is that, when doug raised the point that no counter train was forming as proof that he was about to be mislynched like the crafty bugger he turned out to be, seaside brought up my wagon as proof against that. Despite being on my wagon. I'm not sure I really understand why he brought up my wagon in response to this if he was on it and thought I was scum. Am I missing something?

I'll stop spamming though.

Your posts aren't spam. They just too numerous for people here. Your posts are useful, and in my opinion (and the host can verify this post-game), you have elevated Mafia for this site.

It's just that people can't handle the volume, and, from a believer in the Strunk and White philosophy, you post fourteen times when you could post four.

#4847

There's precedent in keej's PH for not trusting me, with him saying he considers me worse than espers because of my golden vote thing. Plus there was at least some kind of vague attempt at an effort to vote black rock or something. Overall nothing that immediately pings as particularly scummy other than voting for the townie instead of the scum in a two-wagon race

#4848

kneel4justice - ????? -- Killed by Thank You for Sending Me an Angel - Night 1
a2thezebra - ????? -- Killed by Making Flippy Floppy - Night 3
????? has survived a kill by Life During Wartime. - Night 5

These are the odd Night targets. MacDougall personally took out Zebra.

#4849

I believe Hamburgerboy was Mafia. If I'm right, there are 4 left.

#4850

Skimming through mac's posts Im gonna vote Russ just for now as the least pursued "scum" read he had. I'll see if that feeling gets stronger or weaker as the day goes on.
