Re: Arkham Mafia [Night 1]
I responded to that post from Dom and only dropped it after Matt responded to me.
Dom has questioned me but he's also shown a capacity to treat my suspicions as genuine.

Your answer doesn't address what I was specifically saying I was suspicious of. You misunderstood or misrepresented my meaning. I didn't say your entire play lacked chutzpah. I said your case making and particularly referred to the times you were requested to elaborate on your statements.Turnip Head wrote:Maybe Day 1 chutzpah is a civ trait of yours but it's not one of mine. At the start of games I prefer to feel people out and develop my reads over time. I don't really have anything to say about you calling my reasoning sketchy or my retorts nervous-seeming, you're entitled to your opinion.MacDougall wrote:As it stands, Scotty and Turnip Head remain suspects. Turnip Head's case making, while voluminous, has lacked much chutzpah. When questioned on his reasons on a couple of occasions he responded with sketchy reasoning and/or nervous seeming sarcastic retorts. I find that suspicious.
Your response was along the lines of me having made that statements against your entire play.

Re: Arkham Mafia [Night 1]
I don't find your play shitty at all. I find it suspicious. I think that you have just been caught embellishing your opinion which makes me feel like you are mafia. I don't think it's a reflection on the quality of your play.
I am just trying to discover whether you are Mafia. I don't want to upset you. I'm trying to be tactful tbh.

It's funny, I never upset people when I case them when I am mafia. When I am town I drive people nuts. If you want some insight into my meta here it is hahaha.

Re: Arkham Mafia [Night 1]
You're not upsetting me. Like I said I'm gonna play my way regardless of your opinion of me. It would be nice if you viewed me as genuine so maybe we could tag team some baddies but I obviously can't make you see things my way. I don't think you've ever played a game where I've been civ so I'm not surprised you don't trust a single word I say.

Re: Arkham Mafia [Night 1]
I'm half way through page 8 and my eyes are criss-crossing, that's where I must end for tonight. It's 247 in the morning and I need to wake up soon to go to work. I will pick it back up tomorrow evening.


Re: Arkham Mafia [Night 1]
Too bad it was a no lynch, but I doubt Robin would have done it this early in the game unless he were one of the potential lynchees.
I'll go with City Hall just because.

Re: Arkham Mafia [Night 1]
in normal day 1 fashion, I've attracted ire from a good handful of vocal people.
It's late and I have an early bus to catch. I'm tired of defending my vote. One last analogy before I just ignore it and wait for Dom and Mac to pummel me into the ground for doing what I fucking try to do every day 1- vote no posters, followed by low posters.
Hypothetical--- Ignore the names and pretenses of both Equiv and lovedelic. Let's substitute Equiv with Eleanor Roosevelt and lovedelic with Betsy Ross. Two important women in the history of the United States. Also both are working under me in my cigar company (why not). But Betsy Ross didn't show up to work, and the company loses 28% in production that day because of it. Eleanor Roosevelt didn't work very hard that day because of a bad knee, and wasn't really up to snuff.
I fire one of them. Which did I fire? The one that didn't show up to work or the one that's not up to the level I expect yet?
There's another employee I have- MaximumPotato (MP) I hear rumors that he's been pissing in the coffee pot but I can't confirm or deny that. So I will have I get security cameras installed to better monitor his habits. Do I fire him for a rumor? Some would. Hell, the board (Dom, Mac and others) say I should send a message to the rest of the staff not to mess with me! But I don't feel comfortable giving him the slip on a hunch. Not yet. Betsy Ross was supposed to be let go, but the board is antsy and says I'm demeaning to women. But I didn't fire Eleanor Roosevelt, did i?
Does this analogy ring true at all to you guys?
I will never understand why I was almost lynched today, except that some of the more vocal instigators led others to believe I'm some sort of two-faced deviant.
Dom, you can be quite trite and persuasive in so little words, which allows many people to trust you. This makes me wary of your voice in a game where baddies should be actively campaigning to look for the other baddies as well. It helps to follow someone like you or Mac which seem to be an ally to the civs, but had you actually lynched me you would have found to be utterly wrong in your suspicions. And then people would probably think twice about trusting you.
That being said, I don't read either of you as bad because you both have a reasonable flair about you and you could very well be hard-nosed civs. But as a young woman once told me, "you're gonna wonder how you ever thought you could live so large and leave so little for the rest of us"
I'll attempt to add more to the discussion on my trip tomorrow. I welcome sabie, but warn that should she not post in the next cycle, regardless of her newness to the game, And should I survive the night, I will be voting her in the best phase. If she does post, then great! I'll move on to more pressing matters as the situations arise.

You will never understand why you were almost lynched huh. Preposterous notion. Guess me and the other 3 people that voted for you are all idiots.
Over dramatic hyperbole. You absolutely know why we suspected you. We stated our cases as length numerous times. You got lucky Scotty.

Linki: I will never laugh at you for it Bea. To me, right now, it's necessary to get in to the flow of the game. It's taking much longer than I thought and there is no way I will finish tonight as it it almost 1 am and I have to work in the morning.
I wasn't trying hard to claim an alignment, I was just trying to demonstrate that I suspected MP for the same reason you have done in the first post here... that I felt there was enough in there at minimum for me to get ideas about Enrique's alignment, and I think the whole argument between Enrique and I was pretty much the definition of the kind of thing that might be alignment indicative (arguing about win cons). Also I didn't like that he said he 'agreed with TH' that it wasn't alignment-indicative when that wasn't what TH said.Black Rock wrote:Why are you trying so hard to claim an alignment so early?Golden wrote:Why wouldn't it be alignment-indicative?

I don't much like this post, MP. That includes the equivocating on Dom.
It could have been simply throwaway from MP, but I still don't much like it. It indicates to me someone who wasn't trying to solve the Enrique/golden question, but just take a position.

Re: Arkham Mafia [Day 0]
I'm not inclined to think that. I think stating thoughts as you are catching up indicates someone who isn't afraid of having to change their mind as they catch up, and not afraid of giving a take on earlier content (which could just as easily be a fresh take).MacDougall wrote:Maybe you should wait until the end of your reads before making numerous posts otherwise one might be inclined to feel like you are just trying to jack your post count for cred.Black Rock wrote:I hope you backed this up.MacDougall wrote:Checking in to say that Turnip Head is bad.

Re: Arkham Mafia [Night 1]
Scotty, what I don't trust from you is that you seem tunnelly and not very open minded. I can understand if that comes about from defensiveness, but even if all you are interested in tomorrow is voting sabie if she doesn't turn up, I think you should move on to other discussions first anyway. I know that you are a great contributor to the thinking of the thread often. Given I'm not seeing that, it gives me pause.
I don't actually think your low poster/no poster thing is that suspicious, but if it feels like thats all the opinions you have, that is a bit suspicious.

Re: Arkham Mafia [Night 1]
That's also part of the point. He overlooked other cases in lieu of casting a vote that nobody agreed with, for someone nobody was going to lynch and actively dismissed every other case being made as not being up to his standard for a vote. I don't like it at all.
Re: Arkham Mafia [Night 1]
Based soley on result of yesterdays lynch, I wouldn't try to lynch Scotty again btw. (Still 900 posts behind. Still think TH is a badewd.)

Re: Arkham Mafia [Night 1]
Ouch sassy much, TH? I was just asking why. No need to be rude. I would've voted for Floyd or lovedelic since I do believe in low post lynching, albeit that it is never the best option.

1. Why Wilgy?

I actually am having a zero understanding of either of these.
Okay, not zero, but I don't understand the logic of why you guys voted for Scotty aside from his wanting to lynch a low poster

Re: Arkham Mafia [Night 1]
Bea, I am suspicious of MP himself but voted Scotty. This suspicion has very little to do with the actual players scotty named and the circumstances around their being chosen.bea wrote:that's a fair point dom. And also can't you have a bit of tunnel vision just a bit because it's MP? Would you feel the same way if he had been saying that about Zeeb or Matt or Enrique or Golden? I do also get that he said MP was his biggest suspish and he went with no poster vs suspish.
I'm just asking the question cuz I feel like, for the sake of fairness I should. Ya know?
also - I really like BR's catch up. It makes me sad she wasn't around while all this was going down, but happy she is here now.
There was an insinuation that because Golden and SVS shared an 8 bond that one is cop 8 or something. I thought it wasn't true. I don't think anyone bought it or took it as that.Black Rock wrote:What role claim?Dom wrote:....I know. . . . . !~~~!!!!!!!!
I am saying you said that with the intention of saying his role claim was not valid.
This is a discussion that we all have kind of agreed was not very fruitful. I left feeling okay about Enrique (with an eye on him) and okay about Golden.

I felt that your explanations for your play, when questioned by Dom and I, were found to be lacking.

I felt Wilgy was a much better choice than Floyd, Scotty or Zebra. That doesn't somehow invalidate or contradict everything I was doing before that.
Your explanation that your day 1 play is generally feeling out and developing reads, is not an explanation for why your case came across weak to both myself and to Dom when placed under a microscope.
If you prefer to dip your toes in, why proceed to influence the thread with your reads?
Don't really know what to say to this. If you feel that way, that's shitty, but there is absolutely nothing I can do with this post. Was this supernatural mafia? I don't know?Black Rock wrote:You are starting to remind me of baddie Dom to be honest. It's been a while since I've have had that perspective with you but you are reminding of that time you and LC went at it and you were both bad.Dom wrote:If one read my posts I think they would know.Enrique wrote:Okay, so what was the purpose of that post?
I think you are posting ad nauseam about Golden because you are trying to sell people the idea that he is bad. I'm not on board with the evidence presented. You claimed that something might've been an attempted role hint, and I said I don't think you genuinely thought it was a role hint. Whether you are subverting the truth because you genuinely think Golden is bad or because you are bad remains to be seen.
Your most curious behavior to me has nothing to do with this, but rather with your response to me. You jumped to the conclusion I was accusing you of something (of which you have yet to clarify). TH later gave you a frame of reference that would make sense, but you declined to take it. Hyper-defensiveness is running through you.
Seems stronger that way?Turnip Head wrote:Because come crunch time at End of Day I'm gonna try to get a baddie lynched. If you were reading my intentions as civ I think that would be clear. Why do you think I, as a baddie, would be trying to influence the thread at that time?
Which case are you specifically referring to as being weak and why are you dragging Dom into it?
I didn't like it one bit.
I snipped for brevity.Black Rock wrote:
I really don't understand this exchange... at all. Can someone simplify it for me?
But that exchange was so tiresome.
Basically a lot of people jumped on Zebra because she said it was "alarming" that so many people had voted for Arkham Asylum. When asked which players alarmed her, I believe her initial response was that none of them alarmed her. Eventually she came out suspecting Matt.
Since none of the individual players alarmed her, several players took issue with this. They said that doesn't make sense.
Zebra said that it wasn't any individual player, but rather the number of players voting it. I thought this argument was a bit vacuous since Epig told us no one had information on the poll. I think this is where the Matt/Zebra conflict started.
Except, that's NOT what you did. You voted a no-show despite having given a pass to a low poster for the same reason! Additionally, AFTER you voted, all of a sudden, all these low posters sounded like great votes to you! But before you voted you only mentioned MP-- someone who you said you couldn't vote for because of the lack of evidence DESPITE there being even LESS evidence against the no show you voted.Scotty wrote:in normal day 1 fashion, I've attracted ire from a good handful of vocal people.

Does this analogy ring true at all to you guys?
Because Mafia is not a business. Being bad at your job is not the same as trying to kill the town. Contributing to the discussion (being productive in your factory) is not remotely the same as finding baddies and lynching them. A mass murderer could be productive in your factory and still kill all the workers when all is said and done. This is why your analogy falls apart.
Please don't veil your accusations.Scotty wrote:I will never understand why I was almost lynched today, except that some of the more vocal instigators led others to believe I'm some sort of two-faced deviant.

Re: Arkham Mafia [Day 1]
To be fair those 8 people weren't present in the thread at the time and didn't announce that they knew they still needed to vote with several minutes to spare. It's still bad they missed it, but I'll bet their excuses are better than yours.S~V~S wrote:Meanwhile 8 people besides me missed the vote, but whether I voted for someone I suspected or someone everyone else suspected but I did not is the biggest issue.

Maybe if you know you're not going to be around you should say so? I haven't seen anything about not being able to get online from you, so your absence became notable.

I have 1000 posts to catch up on. I'll hopefully get it done by D2.
Saying you don't have a Meta (or that you deliberately try not to, same thing really IMO) doesn't exempt you from being looked at in relation to your behaviour in past games.DrWilgy wrote: 1st of all, why use Meta on the player that goes out of his way to negate Meta?
From my experience in Epi games, either a tie = no lynch (usually if there's only one mafia) or he has a role mechanic in place to deal with them. Similarly, in A World Reborn my role decided ties. So we've got two hosts who like that sort of thing, and confirmation that ties don't prevent lynches. I guess we'll find out at some point if they do have anything in place to deal with the tied lynch.bea wrote: Doesn't Epi hate ties? I can't rememer off the top of my hed what his meta is for ties as a host though. I think him saying something about it being a stop not a tie should be considered.

Re: Arkham Mafia [Night 1]
I feel like I had a bit of a meltdown last night. I wanted to apologize for that. I have been letting real life stress get the better of me. I promise not to be so emo anymore. Also I think imma go to the gcpd.

Re: Arkham Mafia [Night 1]
Hey all, still haven't caught up, sorry. This week has been hell and I've had pretty much no free time. I'll try to properly get my head into this game ASAP, or else replace out. I'm quickly uncovering that the pace of this game is too much for me to handle at this point in my RL situation.
Voted for Wayne Manor because I'm going in order of the list.

If the arguement for my lynch is "he's not posting a bunch, he must be bad!" then it's bullsuit. If the arguement for my lynch is "he's a low poster and that's a liability regardless of alignment." I would be happy with that. I mean... It's not hard to recognize how volatile a low poster (especially when they are as dashing as I am) can be.
Re: Arkham Mafia [Night 1]
Going back to Arkham. If we're not sharing info, then probably best to stick to one place so at least I know what's going on there.

Re: Arkham Mafia [Night 1]
No. I don't know anyone's alignment yet. We don't know if Robin saved himself or me or if there's another secret power in effect. If aomeone dies tonight, we'll know something. Motivations, maybe.

I get a feeling, however, that I will need to change my gameplan and start talking reads on other people for day 1 part 2. Im in the unenviable position this weekend where I'm tied up in 5 shows before I get a week off, so my time is limited to delve into other people. So I'll have all of next week to drive my post count up to normal (sorry about it, Black Rock).

Re: Arkham Mafia [Night 1]
Im actually kind of happy Floyd survived so that he gets an opportunity to contribute. I hate voting in a hurry
Im not excited for tonights shenanigans. So many weird roles and so many potential outcomes. Im going to the police department tonight, as I suppose they might be able to provide some more hints. Wayne Manor is also an option for that, but Im with sticking with the GCPD tonight.

Regardless, I think Nero should be lynched on grounds that he's my partner, your partner, Enrique's partner, the Joker, the Riddler, the Gingerbread Man, and Toto.

Re: Arkham Mafia [Night 1]
Caught up. Interesting there was no lynch. I doubt it was Robin--more likely a character trait, I'd think.
I'm voting Enterprises. Because gadgets are cool, yo.
Thank you for properly using wary, first off. And I'd expect nothing less. A game without you suspecting me would be a game without one of us playing--and, let's be honest, you'd likely suspect me in a game that I wasn't playing, lol.MacDougall wrote: I remain wary of Matt, Bea, Lorab and Bass.
