Um, no, lol. I am curious though about what your irrefutable (non existent) proof is though.

That false-ending poll made some cool stuff happen, made Epi and sig reveal their hands early.

Do either of you expect to be casting your vote at your chosen targets by tomorrow's deadline? :smoky:

I guess i just found it interesting to be referred to with a dragon metaphor by two different people within a few minutes :shrug:

I thought I might have been missing a film related link to dragons.

Why "or"?

I did not say it was anything. I just said it was weird.

Do you have an opinion on Serge and what he laid down? I am not sure what I think of it.

He was joking right?

I thought we had to revote for who we already voted for so I voted for Wilgy again.


@Gleam his one On topic post was pingy, and like I said I misunderstood when the poll ended so I voted for who was most suspicious at that time.

Good evening to you all, for I have returned from my journey, in which it seems that my horses felt the spirit of Pegasus himself in bringing me home sooner. Oh who am I kidding, the train ride took 9 hours and a half and was godawful.

I will now attempt a summary, roughly in order of the events that have passed, and a few thoughts on the matters addressed:

Sir Epignosis seems to have created some buzz with his literary moment, although I suspect such a story would normally dissolve on its own in the next few days. I personally have not failed to pick up on him referencing a work of writing that has no real bearing to our storyline and would normally not put much into it. That being said, it would not surprise me in the slightest for this gentleman to feel no pressure in making random statements which to garner attention and heat, if he were the kind to hide his captain attire in his cupboard, during the phases of Day.

Next up, I am slightly curious how he made a valuable post on how us common people cannot afford too many missteps in our attempts to lynch the captains, only to follow it with a proposal to lynch an inactive among us. Does he believe in the general success of that? Are such tactics affordable in the current situation of our tight numbers?

Afterwards, of all the people that would quality thus far as inactives, he put a serious vote in lynching Sir MP, who I remember being among the few to have excused themselves in not managing to be active during the next days. So why, if his intentions of lynching inactives are pure, did he resort to a member who actually left a note of apology?

With all this in mind, I retain a small ping regarding his person, but not enough for any satisfying verdict, thus far.

===

That being said, Sir MP himself took the easy path of self-defence and inactives voting, so hrrmpf. He seemed confused by deadline being tonight, however.

===
Madam SVS shows to me good spirit in wanting people to join and contribute, but I am less sure what to make of her slightly serious reactions in situations where non-topical or unserious statements were made.

===

All I can recall, until this moment, of Dr. Wilgy is jesting on account of lynching Sir Bird and Madam Zebra. An eyebrow in his direction, as I seriously expect more from him soon enough. Oh wait, I must redact this, as he has since turned his attention to more serious issues, like the gambler's fallacy approaches.

I don't recall much except banter from Sir Scott and Madam Zebra themselves, for that matter.

===

Writing down votes without voting seems to be a new fashion nowadays, huh.

===

Sir Con's reflections on either Sir Bird or Madam Sorsha deserving a Day 1 pass, at least until grevious evidence should point to them being bad, gives me some pause. I mean, I truly find the whole reasoning fallacious in the style of a gambler's. But I am moreover surprised that Madam Sorsha received from him benefit of the doubt, on account of having been too many times bad in the past, whilst Sir Con never posits instead that, for all the misfortunes he suffered in the past, Sir Bird could roll mafia for once. Anyway, all in all, I do not view the idea of handing free passes to players too favourably, so I do not declare myself a fan of Sir Con's contribution over here.

===

Lastly, Sir Serge surged (alliteration ftw) with various statements. That request towards Barry is definitely a no-no, game-wise. Not a fan of him expressing intentions to bandwagon, with nonchalance and double negation even ("nobody can't [sic] stop me"), but I wish to inquire the gentleman if he considers this to be part of his usual D1 MO or not. But most of all I'd inquire what he sees in Madam SVS that he so sternly distrusts? Arguments, my good man, not mere accusations!

Formulating other thoughts or following the discussion any further will have to wait until tomorrow afternoon.

Sig- why did you automatically revote for Wilgy after the poll was reset? We have a whole nother day....

Wilgy- I don't see how someones stance on gamblers fallacy has bearing on their alignment this game. Unless I'm interpreting your argument wrong.

Does anyone really think that just because someone says "I'm not voting for (person X) today because of (some silly non present game related reason)" would really NOT vote for that person if some irrefutable evidence came up? Or not even irrefutable but very strong/scum slip-type thing? Come on... I think that's one of those things that goes without saying.

I already said I thought if we had already voted we had to revote for the player we voted for since votes aren't changeable? The only reason I thought Llama restarted the poll is so everyone else could vote. Did I mess up with that?

lol if your voting for me then you don't know my metaa. I had literally ten minutes to decide who to vote for. Since the poll read that the day phase ended today so yeah I voted and no it wasn't a sorry excuse for a permanent vote when the poll said the day was over. I waited until the very end of the phase to vote and he was the most suspicious. The fact your trying to scapegoat me over a misunderstanding about the poll is very very strange.

Excuse me? This is insulting. Are you just assuming that I'm not even going to read the posts you write? We both know that you didn't vote at the end of the phase because we're not even at the end of the phase yet. I don't believe that you didn't already know that it wasn't the end of day yet when you voted. Tsk tsk.

Simply because if you are thinking about the gambler's fallacy it means you don't know who is on what team. I don't think RNG based patterns are what mafia are thinking of when the game begins either.
What does a gambler's fallacy have to do with figuring out who is on what team? Especially on Day 1?

How do you presume to know what the mafia are thinking on Day 1? :eye:

And actually, I find this to be much more believable than the linki business. You would have had a hanging quote with no meaning had you NOT "added" that sentence.

(I gave up overreacting for Lent :) and hopefully I can keep that up)

As was LC, who used an extremely similar sentence to refer to my reaction. They both were trying to get a reaction out of me, and both used the same term, "dragon" in characterizing that reaction. Your opinion?

You had a "slip" about knowing Daisy's role in Downton Abbey that sig harped on for some time- this turned out to be a misunderstanding and was not a slip at all.
But the way you explained this one makes it seem like you rushed your coincidental "dragon" which I am much less inclined to believe, considering it wasn't included with a linki. It's like you ordered an omelette and half way through the chef making your omelette, he realized he forgot the egg, so he throws in an egg- shell and all- into the pan, so you end up with some ghetto-ass egg monster on your plate.

Well, the reactions are still ongoing, though I do admit that adding the dragon part has soured it a bit, because it made the focus be on that.
And actually, I find this to be much more believable than the linki business. You would have had a hanging quote with no meaning had you NOT "added" that sentence.
That doesn't make sense, calling it "much more believable than the linki business". I would not have had a hanging quote with no meaning, I would have had " :eye: Getting nervous, S~V~S?" all by itself. Then I saw a similar sentiment in Serge's post, and riffed off that as a nod to the similar sentiment.

Has anyone ever referred to you as a dragon before this time? "Unleash the dragon" is a phrase that works on its own, meaning-wise. Consider if I had said my post without Serge's before it. Don't you think it's kind of awkward and weird on its own? "Is the dragon coming out?" Why would I say that, like that, if Serge hadn't coined the "unleash the dragon" part? It's not like you have been called a dragon before - without Serge's post before mine, my dragon part would be sort of confusing. Like, an appropriate answer would be "What do you mean, 'is the dragon coming out?' ?? :confused: "

I didn't think it needed a linki tag, considering it was after the post that Serge made. I thought you would just read it as it was, chronologically with Serge's, and just "get it". I don't know why you would call it a "coincidental" dragon, because it was not coincidence at all, it was me reading Serge's post in linkitis, and adding a sentence to my post as a nod to his post. If you think that's what coincidence is, then you need to rethink your understanding of the word. "Rushed" is mildly acceptable. I did just jam it in there after writing my complete post.

Fair enough. I don't want to go down word semantics highway again, since actually I find that it is far more often that civs say things that can be taken out of context far more often than scum.

What do you think of Serge?

I was comparing Serge's surge (heh) in this game to that of Turf Wars, in which he was bad (and subsequently replaced) and he seems slightly more eager and jokey this go round, but has similar block posts as he did in that game. I can't tell if he is an overeager civ or Mafia member.

Also side missions aren't always 48/24.

It makes no sense for scum me to pretend that I thought the deadline was 24 hours early and vote for Wilgy just for what? The hell of it. That literally makes no sense what so ever. I thought we were about to be done this phase since that is what the poll said so I voted. Epi did the same is he mafia for voting so earlier?

I dislike MP's vote but seeing how little time we have I can see why he voted. I'll also believe that he is busy.

There is eleven minutes until the deadline correct? And nobody is online and we have literally one vote in.
sig wrote:So I did some ISO almost nobody here. I'm not liking Wilgy, LC, or Epi.

Epi hasn't posted much and then came in at 4:44 and didn't say anything, I would consider voting here, but would rather not today.

Lc is a gut ping which usually happens to me. However, I dislike his SOrsha reasoning and his fake vote on DF was weird.

I'm going with Wilgy no on topic posts, and very few off topic posts, his one truly on topic post, is bad imo.

linki: I see Epi ninjad in and voted for MP.

This is also why I voted for Wilgy again.

I will hold you personally responsible for all failures. :suspish:
In my defense, I think the site goofed instead of me. When I went to edit the poll, it was set for two days. No idea why it closed after one.

Anyway, Stanley Kubrick was famous for making actors do many, many takes, so let's go with that. Yeah, that's the ticket!
So yes I among other players thought the phase ended and was about to end, unless we all just pretended the phase was about to end? And I just made all those posts so I could vote earlier for Wilgy? :confused2:

I think Zebra is mafia attempting to get me lycnhed. Otherwise I can't see an explanation for her vote and case. Or she is a paranoid civ since we won last game. :shrug:

Yeah, 48/24 is recommended, but not mandatory. It USED to be that 24 was required. Thats why I asked Llama in signups if it was 24 or 48. When I came in and the poll had ended, I automatically assumed (yeah yeah make an ass of u & me) that day had ended, too.

My problem with this is that the post of mine he quoted would have just been hanging with no point without that "dragon" remark.

And I would be willing to vote for Serge. He was trying to poke a reaction from me, but why me? Why did he think I was someone who was a good candidate for reaction poking?

And linki or not, I HATE that dragon thing.

That whole thing stunk to high hell.

@SVS yes so do you believe I'm mafia who pretended that I didn't know when the phase ended to vote? Which is what Zebra is saying.


I thought Serge was making a joke since your user title is Captain Obvious? Which does make me wonder why LC commented that portion was off.

I got the Captain Obvious joke when it was pointed out to me. And I don't think placing the same vote after the host told you to revote in a game with unchangeable votes makes you bad. It is rather an honorable thing to do, imo. Revoting and changing your vote would have looked worse to me, tbh. Almost like cheating.

And no LC, I am not getting nervous. And you trying to make me react won't make me nervous since I have nothing to be nervous about.

Voted Serge. I may not remember to be back later and he's my strongest suspicion right now, and I don't see that changing for day 1. Hoping he's bad.

I don't think Serge would be a good lynch choice today, I think we should lynch Zebra for her purposeful misconstruction of the events regarding my vote and her attempt to bandwagon me based on not just weak but, also faulty and obvious incorrect logic.

Zebra tends to read into things in a much more byzantine way than most ever could. I think this is fairly normal behavior for her. Plus I am not seeing much of a bandwagoning effort on her part.

Why do you think Serge is a poor choice, your thoughts on Zebra aside?

Okay then.

I'm wary of a Serge lynch since it appears he might be lynched just for being a low poster, yes it's day 1, but having that attitude in such a small game is very very dangerous. I dislike MPs vote on Serge for that reason, we really don't have much room for error this game and just going after low posters won't help much.

I feel like he's Civ. Unless he's known for playing in a wacky way as his usual meta (which I'm not familiar with), I think his "vote with any leading bandwagon" statement isn't one a baddie would likely make. Also, he kept going with the dragon thing, whereas if he and I were bad and it was a BTSC faux pas, he'd be more likely to want to sweep it under the rug.

That's my thoughts on Serge, I see that he has a few votes now anyway.
