Battlestar Galactica Mafia - GAME OVER

Re: Battlestar Galactica Mafia - Day 8
So say we all!
I'm not liking Rabbit or Bea very much right now, but I cannot see the two as a scumpair. Leaning toward Rabbit being the scum of the two based on more recent behavior, but the Nutella/Zebra interactions were much better than the nutella/Bea interactions imo.
Similarly, I could see one of Sig and Wilgy being mafia, though I will admit much of the reasoning behind my distrust of Wilgy is that he is a for sure cylon, but not for sure town-aligned. Glorf's flip makes me a bit more willing to believe Wilgy for now though.
@insertnamehere - I think we can take the quotes at face value and work from there. For example, the first quote is clearly from indiglo, who was night killed, so I am heavily inclined to believe that it comes from a town mindset and should be trusted. The second quote however, I cannot deduce the poster and it seems to be pursuing an obvious antitown goal, so I do not really trust it.

Re: Battlestar Galactica Mafia - Day 8
So say we all. Hmmm. Well that was... Interesting. Almost like he knew he was going to die.
I can't read Rabbit for shit, never have been able to. However, I feel very confident that Zebra was recruited right before she left based on a sudden change in her approach, suspicions, and some
Of her comments. That will likely be my vote, but we shall see.
I'm still suspicious of bea, and like the whispers I am also shocked she's still
Alive for how long she's been prime.
I don't know what to think of Dex's comment to me. Part of me feels like he was legitly trying to give a heads up, part of me feels like it was super convienent that he posts that just before the NK.

Like one of the dead, I also think sig needs to go. We went all tangent wise overnight, and forgot about how sig survived his lynch.

I understand Epis points on Der Fuzzster; I don't draw the same conclusion from them as he does, though, and I disagree that he "tore him in half", but I understand them. You not so much, Jay. I think you are on my reread list today. I trusted Indi, and it is obvious which one of the dead she is, and I definitely believe in "dead hindsight". Maybe it is also time to look at who the dead suspected.

I agree; I think Rabbit is like me, a baddie at heart. But that doesn't mean hosts never send him PMs with a civ role. It means that people suspect him for his nature. He has, again, like me, less of a filter when he's a civ, so he says whatever comes to his head, and it looks suspish when you pick it apart. I am familiar with this. I personally do not think he is bad, I actually feel more confident about him than I did about Zebra, and I had a mid civ read on her.JaggedJimmyJay wrote:Epignosis just tore this guy in half and his only response is this crap.

Re: Battlestar Galactica Mafia - Day 8
I don't think he's suspicious because he's made careless comments that can be "picked apart". I think he's suspicious because when faced with a case he provided the token "lol yeah good case, you should lynch me". In my experience that sort of thing is more often baddie-inclined than your average post, and the motivation isn't difficult to identify. Instead of attempting/failing to explain oneself rationally, a baddie just jovially accepts the case in hopes that it will be dismissed as WIFOM or irrelevant humor. There's no need to "pick him apart" with that kind of content, it's right in front of everyone's face.S~V~S wrote:I agree; I think Rabbit is like me, a baddie at heart.

I thought Zebra was fine too before she was replaced. After that replacement I think that player slot has plummeted. I can believe that rabbit is the sort of player to draw inordinate suspicion for brash behavior, but I am not willing to give him a pass for certain offenses. To clarify:
Sometimes I am willing to give someone a pass for the following things if I feel it's genuine or there are discernible town motives:
~ Goofing around (hi Marmot)
~ Taking unexplained strong stances (hi Zebra)
~ Emotional play
I am not willing to give someone a pass for these:
~ A concerted effort to assemble a universe in which I/anyone else am/is bad no matter what the context or circumstance based upon unproven mechanical guessing
~ Failure to address a case in a believable way, especially when it's a brazen and open failure to even make any attempt
~ Blatant discredits of other players with no logical bearing on reads
I think rabbit8 is guilty of everything in the latter category, and I am not going to allow meta to save him from those offenses.
Go for it.

Re: Battlestar Galactica Mafia - Day 8
And I thought you were civ too, and have disagreed with those who thought otherwise pretty much the whol game. But last night bothers me. It is what I expect from Epi; he finds a thing, and thinks it is something when maybe it is not, but he is always full speed ahead damn the torpedoes; doubt is not in his Mafia lexicon. Then he seeks to prove it, and can read into things becasue he is SO sure. This is not what I expect from you. It seemed somewhat opportunistic to me.

Re: Battlestar Galactica Mafia - Day 8
Things Glorfindel said to/about Black Rock:
Nothing until Day 6 when I prodded Glorfindel to name suspects. Black Rock was definitely the player Glorf was the most interested in talking about as a suspect, and I think some of it might be quite telling. The highlighted portion especially is a meaningful thing to me. Glorfindel provided what was essentially a "why me?" defense, complaining that the criticisms leveled upon him would be better placed on Black Rock. He suggested her content was lacking, and that her focus on LC was too much.
I think this might be a straight up blurt by Glorfindel that Black Rock is not on his team. I don't think distancing typically looks like this -- he is giving someone else crap because he thought he could take some of the case against him, and use it against her instead. That's a total smear job, IMO.
He was responsible for the pink words in the first post. Glorf wasn't pleased at all when I first made this assertion. I am pretty sure I'm right about this. I mean what he said here doesn't even make sense -- he complained that I was saying BR wouldn't be bad with him. This reads to me like a player frustrated that a valid conclusion was drawn to his detriment as a direct result of what he posted at my request.
Day 6 vote.
Continued on Day 7.
~~~
Black Rock said nothing to/about Glorfindel.
~~~
I am comfortable calling Black Rock a non-team mate of Glorfindel. The only doubt to be found stems from her failure to mention his name and the fact that she'd be an easier bus job given her steep drop in content. I don't think that's the case though.

Epignosis wrote:rabbit8 made the cardinal error of making the mechanics fit his "suspicion." Ricochet asked about how 3J could be bad if nutella is, and rabbit didn't disappoint. The first thing he came up with was two mafia teams.
His first way to justify 3J being bad was two mafia actions, but he added this after:rabbit8 wrote:Two mafia factions.Ricochet wrote:I feel the assumption that JJJ might be bad needs to pass the test of explaining how could JJJ have initiated and carried nutella's hunt all the way through on Day Two.
The fact that rabbit added "Is this not done anymore?" indicates that he is equally, if not more, at home with people throwing teammates under the bus, and that makes me think that, if he were expressing his natural thoughts, he would have mentioned this one first. He didn't. He speculated on the mechanics first, and added this as a second thought. However, he hedged with what he "thinks" makes more sense (i.e. two mafia teams).rabbit8 wrote:Ricochet wrote:I feel the assumption that JJJ might be bad needs to pass the test of explaining how could JJJ have initiated and carried nutella's hunt all the way through on Day Two.
Or throw someone under the bus? Is this not done anymore?
I think two mafia teams in this size games makes more sense though.
Keep in mind that all of this is to solidify a 3J suspicion, and this is key. Follow me:
3J is bad.
How? He went against nutella!
It's simple. There are two mafia teams.
Okay, I follow. That means 3J is genuinely hunting the other team and caught nutella.
Or he threw somebody under the bus.
Okay, I get that. That means 3J is on the same team as nutella, and he ditched her.
But there are totally two teams.
++++
The existence of two mafia teams doesn't condemn 3J any more than it does anybody else. In fact, if anything, it works in 3J's favor, because he's likely not on the second team. But that doesn't matter, because 3J threw nutella under the bus (same team) even though there are, according to rabbit8, two teams!
rabbit8's accusation of 3J is based on two conflicting scenarios, and I don't think he believes either. He's full of shit.
Your move.
So now, for this bullshit.
I think JJJ is bad. We started spit balling ideas. I came up with a few scenarios where it would fit and make JJJ look bad when asked how it would make JJJ look bad.
Ricochet wrote:I feel the assumption that JJJ might be bad needs to pass the test of explaining how could JJJ have initiated and carried nutella's hunt all the way through on Day Two.
Me and rico go back and fourth a bit.rabbit8 wrote:Ricochet wrote:I feel the assumption that JJJ might be bad needs to pass the test of explaining how could JJJ have initiated and carried nutella's hunt all the way through on Day Two.
Two mafia factions.
Then I say this:
There is a reason or is the first word I lead off with in this post. I fucking state in the post I think the idea of two mafia teams makes more sense. More sense then what you ask? More sense then the first sentence in the fucking quote.rabbit8 wrote:Ricochet wrote:I feel the assumption that JJJ might be bad needs to pass the test of explaining how could JJJ have initiated and carried nutella's hunt all the way through on Day Two.

Then OA mentions replacements and more spit balling goes on between people.
Ideas where being thrown out by more then just me. I was engaging the thread to get my point across. I think there are two mafia teams.
If not I think JJJ threw nutella under the bus.
Because...... I think he is bad.

It has to be something you find suspicious at face value independent of context or circumstance, because you're calling me bad independent of context or circumstance.rabbit8 wrote:Because......

Re: Battlestar Galactica Mafia - Day 8
Things Glorfindel said to/about DrumBeats:
Glorf wasn't amused by DrumBeats subscribing to G-Man's case against him, but he also didn't complain about it terribly much. A shrug emoticon is less than most other people got from Glorfindel when they suspected him. The third post in this spoiler however is more clearly a negative assessment of DrumBeats. The accusation is a rather specific one -- that DrumBeats's reads were the product of the GTH exercise and not necessarily authentic. The highlighted portion is a good indicator that Glorf was trying really hard to squeeze out something negative to say about DB here. It's hard to say whether this was so forced because Glorf just needed someone to accuse, or because he felt the instinctive need to distance. Perhaps the most noteworthy thing is that this came in a post including suspicion of two others, DrWilgy and Vompatti (the easiest suspicions of all time). I could see this as a distancing effort.
Glorf clearly hated DB saying anything about the Cavil faction, of which he was likely a member. I think that's a decent look for DB.
In the wake of Epi's vocal suspicion of DrumBeats, Glorfindel attached himself to that case and promoted it. Since this had obvious self-preservation implications, I think that's another decent look for DB.
Things DrumBeats said to/about Glorfindel:
Called for Glorfindel as a counterwagon during the LoRab lynch (presumably as the second-place winner of the tally). He eventually resigned himself to the Nero wagon though. His was the third-last Nero vote, so it did help Nero catch up to LoRab in votes. That's not my favorite thing.
Night 4 "bad" GTH read on Glorfindel
Unamused by Glorf's behavior during ClaimGate.
Rainbow list featuring Glorfindel among the red baddies
~~~
It was an iffy start, but I think this analysis progressed nicely for DrumBeats after that. Unlikely team mate of Glorfindel.
I hope everyone is getting annoyed as I say nice things about their top suspects.

My intent is to determine whether you genuinely do suspect me or you're talking out of your arse. If I don't get a better reason than this to lean away from the latter then the likelihood that I vote for you progressively increases.

I do suspect you, JJJ, from things other than what I have said.
However, it does not make me want to vote for you, yet.
I want to see other players lynched first. It would help what I think of you one way or the other.
I don't want to get players to vote for you today.
This is not my intent. I got into in the night because I had nothing better to do. I will be pushing a bea and Ricco lynch today.
If you think I'm bad, vote for me. I will still push for players I think are more bad then you today.

Re: Battlestar Galactica Mafia - Day 8
Things Glorfindel said to/about Inawordyes / DrWilgy:
Vague shade.
IAWY and Glorfindel seem to know each other well outside The Syndicate, and IAWY wasn't pleased with Glorf's early tone. Glorf wasn't pleased that he wasn't pleased.
Chummy banter when Doc joined the game on Day 2.
Somewhat bizarre assertion that IAWY/Doc might have been "distancing" from Nero. Perhaps it was an attempt to falsely link Nero (likely not bad) to Doc, which wouldn't be a great look.
On Night 3, Glorf was more negative about DrWilgy than anyone else. My immediate inclination is to think Glorf would be more comfortable lumping his team mates into that town pile or in the undefined null pile, not isolating them as public nemeses. This turned into a Day 4 vote Nice look for Doc.
Day 5. I'm not sure if the word "prove" in this context is meant to imply that Doc would be an informative lynch, but if so then that's a decent look for Doc. That's a crappy reason to lynch someone.
After Doc claimed cylon, Glorf's stance softened. It sort of had to soften since he was promoting a setup in which most/nearly all of the cylons aren't bad.
By Day 6 he shifted his Doc read to "town", and he reiterated it on Day 7 in response to Admiral Adama's demand for cylon reads.
That town read abruptly soured again on Day 7. I have a feeling this happened because Glorf realized a sort of dichotomy had started to form in the thread ("either Wilgy or Glorf is the bad cylon"), and his hand was forced.
~~~
Things DrWilgy said to/about Glorfindel:
A bit chummy again, perhaps in jest.
Day 5 "bad" GTH read on Glorfindel.
Doc claimed on Day 5 and had the opportunity to contribute to the second place winner. At first he suggested he might go for Glorf, but when he actually claimed he was less willing. It appears he ended up placing no votes at all. 
That's not a good look.
~~~
Another mixed bag. I think the earliest Glorf/IAWY interactions are a good look, but the last point in the analysis is a problem for me. However, the validity of this is dependent upon whether Dex was correct in his role assignment for Wilgy -- something I admit I've never really been clear on. I'll review that again soon and determine whether it's strong enough to negate other analysis.

Re: Battlestar Galactica Mafia - Day 8
I'm going to skip the Epignosis interaction at least for now. We already know his character.
Things Glorfindel said to/about G-Man:
The highlighted bit makes me want to just wrap this analysis up now and call G-Man a non-team mate. It is at least telling enough that I'm going to be more selective with future posts, there are too damned many.
Implies G-Man's pledge to build a case was opportunistic without saying it was. Preliminary shade like that is another nice look I think.
Glorf consistently town read G-Man after the big case was presented, which strikes me as an attempt by him to appear magnanimous and objective rather than disguise a King Busser team mate.
Lamenting that G-Man couldn't get out of his tunnel, a tunnel that he probably was totally right to stay within.
~~~
I'm not going to bother checking the other side of this interaction right now. I don't think G-Man is Glorfindel's team mate.

So say we all!
I finally have some time to contribute. I've got a really sore throat and I coughed blood a few minutes ago, but I'm going to the doctor today to get that checked.
First, I need to quote this again.

Re: Battlestar Galactica Mafia - Day 8
As I feared might happen, coming off of Glorfindel's lynch, my other suspicions are either soft or in flux. Bear with me while I try to reason a few things out.
Looking at the player list, I know of a few players that I trust to be civ:
DrWilgy- This is based almost exclusively on my full-on conversion to trusting Dex over the last few days. He was one of Wilgy's strongest defenders. This makes me think the baddies got rid of him in order to open up some room on pursuing Wilgy. Dex seemed pretty confident in the lore that Wilgy's role is not with Cavil. There have been arguments over such lore but I'll trust the dead on this one.
Epignosis- It seems pretty cut and dry to me. He flipped and the lore suggests his role is civ-aligned. Plus he's been on the hunt and produced. I bet that dead note bashing him is from Nutella. I could see her trying something like that.
insertnamehere- Subbed in for Silverwolf. 'Nuff said.
JaggedJimmyJay- I have a similar affinity for JJJ that I do for Sloonei. I want very much to trust him because he is so darn good at what he does. I don't think I've seen him as a baddie yet and I've not gotten burned by him yet in a game either, making it hard for me not to trust him. With his change in approach for this game he has been accused of being Jimmy-Lite. That may be but I feel like Jimmy-Lite may still be Jimmy-Right.
Matt- He may be confusing and all over the place at times but he doesn't come across as false or mischievous to me.
Polo- I like his persistence and intensity through much of the game. It feels consistent enough to be pure.
sig- He's my softest civ read because I last had him as my #2 baddie. That whole non-lynch plus Gaius taking over has me thinking still. I don't see how a baddie could play a part in triggering those events. Call it a reluctant or cautious civ read. I just have trouble seeing anything else but civ for him given the circumstances.
My lunch break is over and I've got a mountain of work to do at the office (ah, the joys of a compressed, four-day payroll week!) so I have to leave for now.

I suspect:
1. rabbit, because LC and zebra can't both be civs.
2. SVS, because she tried to prevent me from sinking the Klingon submarine.
3. myself, because I haven't been modkilled yet.

I don't know what happened there. Derp.
Anyway, so Drum gets put in the brig after missing the SSWA three times, yet Vomps gets five times.
Does this mean anything?

All I'm reading was that Beats was brigged on third attempt and Vompatti on fifth. For what it's worth, it could mean that punishments vary, according to the Host's temper, instead of being designed for a specific number of faults.Matt wrote:While I'm away, though, please by all means...

Does this mean you think Boomer was an independent baddie with her own win con or do you think Boomer was a Cavil faction that needed to be recruited? I'm just not sure what you mean by "on her own". Hrm.
Did you ever elaborate on this? I guess I'll see in a few minutes haha. If not, can you?Epignosis wrote:My impression is that Boomer was bad and on her own.

Glorfindel sounded alone, and his interactions with people don't have the same cadence I witnessed in Star Wars when he and his teammates put on a show in the thread. That doesn't mean it didn't happen here, but I wonder if Glorfindel felt he could say he wasn't mafia because he doesn't have traditional BTSC. His desperation was on a completely different level than what I saw in Star Wars. It sounded...lonely.

Sorry for being all over the place dude, it's how I roll. Well people say that or they say I tunnel too much. And both of those are the complete opposite so I wish peeps would stop pigeon holing me with those haha. It was a joy to have you and indi aboard the Galactica, though.Dex wrote:Strongest civ reads: Epi, S~V~S, Matt.

Agree with your civ reads tho I'm skeptical on Epi because on the possibility of recruitment. Based purely on a game mechanic from earlier, I believe SVS is civvie but it's funny because I think I've actually said this to both of them this game...they both give me the heebies at times. Hrm.
Anyway, peace out Dex.
@Epi - So to follow up, are you thinking Boomer was an indy bad or a waiting to be recruited bad?
