This first post is pretty prophetic. There's some pretty important "shit" he [claims he] didn't read in this thread which influenced some pretty important decisions he didn't make.Epignosis wrote:I haven't read shit.
Petty filler vote with no reactive function. An Epignosis only interested in banter is a bad Epignosis.Epignosis wrote:I voted Long Con for making me look bad in Arkham.
Maintaining his separatist "hardly reading this thread" shtick, which prevents him from having any chance of making the kinds of intuitive reads that have often defined Epignosis Day 1s in past games.Epignosis wrote:I wish I understood what this plan was so I could go ahead and tell you all how foolish it is.
Gets off the previous dumb vote to prod the lurker. Civ to civ, I might add.Epignosis wrote:I'm taking my vote off Long Con. I wouldn't want anyone to think that I suspect him.![]()
agleaminranks, come say something.

Denies he was implying something negative about agleam's alignment when he remarked at agleam's quick response to the above vote. This is clearly not true if you just read what Epi said in context.Epignosis wrote:Nah. I was just amazed that I vote the guy and he shows up and posts.S~V~S wrote:I thought he was implying that, here we go, we already have people saying they are not caught up to the thread and it is only halfway through day one.
Yeah, I remember him saying recently he doesn't like ties in the tally unless he causes them himself. Convenient.Epignosis wrote:Enrique, look at that pretty little tie.
I hate announcing my votes by the way. I'd rather just vote and let people figure out on their own I voted for them. Much more effective.

Now Sloonei is supposed to be bad because he doesn't know anything about Mongoose's meta. This is highly manipulative and in a different thread climate could have generated real negative press for Sloonei. Given that Sloonei is a strong town read for most people including me now, I don't like this at all.Epignosis wrote:Mongoose does what Sloonei accused her of. All the time. And I have missed Mongoose something fierce.Enrique wrote:whys sloonei bad mr nosis
Discredits DrWilgy (civ) based on the dubious premise that it was impossible to learn anything about players who took part in Zodiac Mafia just because of the unusual alignment ratio.Epignosis wrote:It could be determined that there was multiple mafia as soon as the first lynch happened.
But all right. Fun. What did you learn about me from Zodiac?
His only pre-CFD interaction with RadicalFuzz was underwhelming banter-caliber nothingness.Epignosis wrote:No, that's better.RadicalFuzz wrote:I'm writing this as I'm reading, so if some points have already been addressed then ignore me.
That's better.Spoiler: show
At least once in this game Epi has claimed that his eventual change of heart on DrWilgy was inspired by his thought that Doc might be a civ with nightkilling capacity. So the above vote and reinforcement of that vote make no sense -- they came immediately after Doc had threatened to night kill Epignosis. Uh?Epignosis wrote:Not really, since I voted for him last time and my opinion hasn't changed.ika wrote:care to explain that one?Epignosis wrote:DrWilgy
I think he's been constantly talking about basketball b/s because it has a disarming effect when thread pressure increases. It brings a degree of levity in the form of "this is just a Mafia game, I have other things to care about right now", and that can easily take wind out of the sails of people who are trying to get something more meaningful out of him than he has provided in this game. That's especially applicable at this point in the game, when he'd done basically nothing productive.Epignosis wrote:Can you give me a link to what you're talking about?thellama73 wrote:I'm a little nervous about the gleam wagon, but more nervous about the Ika one. For me, Gleam's speculation about Wilgy and MP's host action was very bizarre, and makes me distrust him.Epignosis wrote:
I don't understand the reasons why people think gleam is bad.
And I no longer think Wilgy is bad either.
I'm watching the Magic somehow lose to the Lakers.
What is this awkward shit? A critical phase of the game is developing, Epignosis appears and takes notice of it, and he has nothing to offer but a freaking joke about Fuzz's name. More levity being brought in to reduce the pressure of an otherwise intense scenario.Epignosis wrote:I just got home after picking up a drunken Eloh. First time ever that I get to return the favor.
I pulled up the thread a few moments ago to see the votes roughly the way they were when I left work. I began reading. I went to the next page and all the votes had gone to RadicalFuzz.
Damn that was fast. Fuzz slip?
Heh, his name is Fuzz.
We've already talked about how this vote was just hot trash.Epignosis wrote:a2thezebraa2thezebra wrote:If there's anyone like me that isn't feeling good about either an ika or a Fuzz lynch, please switch your vote to Epi.
There. You finally got a reaction.
After Fuzz was lynched and flipped baddie, Epi gave us this inspirational bit of b/s. His post history has never reflected this claim that he was motivated. The post count is there, but the content just isn't. He's clearly drifting by on the strength of being faced with minimal voting pressure since the early game, and it's because he's clearly bad. I don't even think it's necessary to talk about specific posts after this moment because it's just glaringly obvious.Epignosis wrote:Suddenly I feel...motivated.
