Re: Monkey Island [DAY 1]
Lol LC have you not played with me before? I used to make gigantic posts all the time and sometimes still do. If you don't like the fact that I posted many small times instead one gigantic one I don't know what to tell you, it's a lot of content either way and over the years I've had people complain about both and not read my posts. I don't need a lecture on that. How about you talk about some of the content within them instead?
Buddying? That's weaksauce my friend. Show me the mafia motivation behind my posts.

Re: Monkey Island [DAY 1]
I feel more clueless than usual for day one - I don't have any active bad reads. My vote is going to a player who I don't think has yet matched my perception of their civ meta.
I feel a bit like a dick doing that because I know how frustrating I find it when I get lynched on day one merely for not posting 150 times! But I have nothing better to go on.
That means, for me, motel room, sig or ninja. I normally get an early town vibe from MR that is lacking here. Sig is waaay too quiet for sig. Ninja's check in was probably before any content developed, but she is adept at using her limited posts well and that's what I'm waiting to see.
I'd wait for the morning if I could, but I can't. So, ninja it is.

sig, I've provided more reads on players than almost everyone else in the game. If you can't remember my content that's on you, not me.

Re: Monkey Island [DAY 1]
Mac, why do you declare sig as a town read? His reads are uninspiring to me.
And Soneji, just wanted to say thanks for the response. My natural inclination is to feel better about you as your reasoning seemed logical and genuine, but I'll mull over it as well.
Won't be back until sometime closer to EOD.

Re: Monkey Island [DAY 1]
I think I prefer lots of smaller posts. Easier to digest.

The usual thing has happened at game start. Those who post most, get the most suspicion. Would a player who normally posts a lot change that depending on his alliance? Some might, I don't think Mp would.
LC's post pinged me a little, this one...

Re: Monkey Island [DAY 1]
I probably won't be able to check in again before EoD (and don't have much time now so can't catch up on what I missed), but skimming shows no compelling reason not to go with my heart and vote motel room and so that's where I'm going.
Motel Room, for the most part, has felt like he's had time to check in and yet hasn't contributed (as contrasted with others who simply haven't been around or have contributed in the small amount of time they've been around I.e. Long Con & Sig). In particular, we had an exchange where he popped up to say he didn't remember drunk posting yesterday, I asked him his opinion on Long Con, he asked who, I quoted him the ISO, he disappeared without a word and never came back. I know that this case isn't significant in any form whatsoever; the entirety of the read is gut based on him seeming guarded and not being around, but it is the only vote I can make and still honestly expect a baddie flip (while other votes I wouldn't necessarily be surprised with a baddie flip but it certainly wouldn't be something I'd have high hopes in seeing).
Vote: Motel Room

Re: Monkey Island [DAY 1]
As I said, "either way works". My point was that I don't want to see any alignment attached to large or small post counts, because they can be artificially inflated.MovingPictures07 wrote:Lol LC have you not played with me before?

Re: Monkey Island [DAY 1]
And, for the record, town reads in order:
Moving Pictures, Quin, Metal Marsh, Boomslang, Mac, Long Con, Golden.
Long Con is mostly a town read due to Golden vouching for him and due to stuff I was concerned about earlier being cleared up pretty solidly; I feel good about Boomslang and above (to the point where I would be surprised at a baddie flip). Golden has probably been scumhunting legitimately, but this doesn't mean as much as it would in a game where baddies didn't have the ability to hunt baddies.
If I had the chance to vote twice, I'd also vote Epignosis; I liked the post I outlined earlier but his recent play has also had the floating and unengaged problem and is the reason for his fall from grace.

Re: Monkey Island [DAY 1]
I don't really buy into buddying as a tell; I have the tendency to be friendly as both alignments and I get frustrated by "buddying" or "pocketing" accusations often enough where I never use them as town.Long Con wrote:As I said, "either way works".

Re: Monkey Island [DAY 1]
Okay. Feeling much better this morning, but with much limited time (as in less time), seeing as I'm at work and should be grading a stack of papers :P
You didn't even wait.
Quick and dirty thoughts before I really, really need to get work done:
1) A beautifully quiet day 1, with pretty easy-to-catch-up pages to read.
2) A floofy, fluffy day 1 that makes it hard to get reads, but that's like saying there's smoke all over Asheville - I can mention it all I want, but I still get to deal with what I've got *coughity cough*
3) Nacho reminds me of Sloonei - lots of talk, not afraid to go after people, jumping right in, lots of talk, lots of talk. Oh yeah, kinda like MP :P
4) I don't want to vote for people contributing to the suspicion talk of the game so far today, because I complain (even if only to myself) that people get voted on Days 1 for voicing weird opinions more often than someone lurking and being cautious and not posting much (if anything) of substance. Does that make sense? Anyway, I'm starting the trend with my Days 1 votes, even if I'm the only one following the trend.
5) Who falls into that second category for me today that I notice (or rather, had to look back because I didn't notice many posts)? zebra, Eloh, motel room, Epi, Wilgy, and Vomps. Runner up includes DFaraday, because he did post about mechanics in his second post.
6) I rather liked Soneji's point about, whether or not Wilgy is fucking with us with the not checking his role (I assume the former), it does imply creating chaos which, while fun, is not particularly civ behavior. So now, so I can get back to work like a good employee, I'm voting Wilgy.
Did you vote me because you wanted to see substance from me, or because the tentacles creep you out?

Re: Monkey Island [DAY 1]
I find myself agreeing with Nacho's reasoning on Motel Room. Of the three people I called out for not contributing, sig responded with a beefy little post, zebra has been completely quiet, and Motel Room had a chance to contribute after the drunken escapades but didn't. Especially suspicious given Motel's comparatively early Day 0 check-in, which suggests some eagerness to get involved in the game. I'm comfortable with a vote there if nothing else changes.

Re: Monkey Island [DAY 1]
Only here between finishing teaching and a meeting, but I wanted to comment on Epi's analysis of my rainbow lists.
Epi, your analysis is intriguing, but it is myopic and fails to make any meaningful inference about my alignment for the following reasons:
1) You do not explain why my alignment would have any impact on my rainbow list behavior. What's the connection? A conclusion that I am bad because I posted my first rainbow with only slight mafia and town tiers is like saying ice cream causes crime because in the summer ice cream sales increase and crime increases. It may be an association but there is no underlying theory detailing a correlation.
2) You neglect the fact that your sample size is skewed by the fact that I roll scum more often than town.
3) You fail to consider the environment of the thread and whether conditions exist at the times you pulled those rainbow lists that warranted me splitting my reads into further categories.
4) Perhaps most importantly, similarly to 3), you do not consider what stages of the game in terms of "Day ____" those lists are from. That is a much more meaningful indication of how tiered my rainbow lists will be. Note that for every example of a good MP you pulled those rainbows are from Days 2 and 3 after we have had at least one flip and more information by which I can sort my reads. Further, the only outlier is the Star Wars game, and the reason that game is an outlier is due to 3) here. That game's Day 1 was way more chock full of back-and-forths and discussion than this one, especially considering I made my list here with still the rest of today to progress.
So your analysis is bupkis.

I don't have to explain why your alignment would have any impact on how you make your lists. The why exists between your brain and your keyboard, and I'm not privy to what transpires between the two. My whole intention was to see if any correlation could be made, and that's what I found. It is a difference I believe you would not be aware of right now.
The sample size is going to be small because I stopped at the point in which such lists started to be a thing.

The outlier for Star Wars isn't as important to me because I wanted to find a good MP list that lacked nuance like the one you posted here. I could not find one.

Re: Monkey Island [DAY 1]
Well, I've got to get to work. I think MP is trying to make Epi's observation something it's not, but I know MP is prone to that sort of analysis and thus it doesn't ping very bad for me. Voting motel room for the aforementioned reasons; to MM, it's because he signaled engagement with the early check in, seems to have artificially boosted his post count when drunk, and then ducked out when asked to provide some content.

Re: Monkey Island [DAY 1]
There's good evidence he ducked out; during our exchange, I asked him for a read on LC, he asked who, I linked to LC's ISO, motel room was never seen again. I guess it's possible he got pulled away for something urgent and hasn't been able to pop back in but that's a pretty busy 24 hour period and it wouldn't take that long to make a g2g or brb post when leaving in the middle of an exchange.Metalmarsh89 wrote:That's not a bad Day 1 case, but are assumptions being made here?

@nacho, I like your case. If I can get on my computer later before the deadline, I'll take a look at it. Otherwise, I'll probably just pop in and vote for him.
Buuuuut, I'm on my phone now and class is about to begin.

Re: Monkey Island [DAY 1]
I don't remember what civ motel room is like, but I hosted him once when he was bad. He started the game strong, but petered out when his teammates started getting lynched.
Anyone got some civ motelmeta?

Re: Monkey Island [DAY 1]
I gave out some, on the more siggish line of thinking I can't shake my ping of Nacho and Mac, my nacho ping is purely a gut read, for Mac I dislike how he cleared motel for being drunk and how he was prodding discussion early on, without giving his own thoughts.Golden wrote:I was just about to mention you. I have to vote before I go to bed, and your absence might get my vote unless you give me some reason not to.

Also up to page six and nobody has mentioned me yet. I'm insulted.

And dog has even been around apparently, without posting.

Roommate is dumb
Shameless is a good show y'all should watch it
Zebra has been quiet (hello pot meet kettle lets both be black together)
Drunken Motel seemed a little weird
I dislike Mac clearing Motel for being drunk, very pingy?
No vibes from LC either way I'll ISO him later
Nacho is posting alot looking good, but I think we should watch him a mafia member becoming a town leader can be devastating
I dislike the vote for Wilgy, this is his normal behavior
Epi is being very fluffy, which is normal but less content then usually.
and I remember very little from MP's posts which is odd since I know he is posting alot, I just can't recall them.
So a few minor pings for MP, Mac, and Motel.
Boom and Quin both look okay so far. \
And I'm off to bed, but I'll be on tomorrow with a few more in depth reads (hopefully) and around to cast my vote. I plan to look over LC, MP, and Mac before voting.
Sig has been busy and he kinda forgot about the game.Golden wrote:I feel more clueless than usual for day one - I don't have any active bad reads. My vote is going to a player who I don't think has yet matched my perception of their civ meta.
I feel a bit like a dick doing that because I know how frustrating I find it when I get lynched on day one merely for not posting 150 times! But I have nothing better to go on.
That means, for me, motel room, sig or ninja. I normally get an early town vibe from MR that is lacking here. Sig is waaay too quiet for sig. Ninja's check in was probably before any content developed, but she is adept at using her limited posts well and that's what I'm waiting to see.
I'd wait for the morning if I could, but I can't. So, ninja it is.

I find it odd you plan to vote for me for being quieter then usually seems like a good scapegoat vote.

You've provided reads yes, but you've done nothing that sticks out one way or another if that makes sense. So your posting and in my mind I know that you're being active but, from my read over you don't seem to be being helpful.MovingPictures07 wrote:sig, I've provided more reads on players than almost everyone else in the game. If you can't remember my content that's on you, not me.
I find that to be very odd.




Re: Monkey Island [DAY 1]
I don't want to lynch Wilgy all I'm seeing is his normal meta at this point.

Buddying? That's weaksauce my friend. Show me the mafia motivation behind my posts.
The usual thing has happened at game start. Those who post most, get the most suspicion. Would a player who normally posts a lot change that depending on his alliance? Some might, I don't think Mp would.

LC seems to be preempting any votes against him. He knows vocal people are a target. He seems to trying to defuse that. not expressing ot veery well but it's only a very mild ping. Not voting for him.

Re: Monkey Island [DAY 0]
Okay so this seems to be the post that is getting Wilgy votes, an early day 0 jokey post? I don't like the votes on him at all, it seems to be an easy place to throw your day 1 vote and not take responsibility for faulty logic if he flips civ. Also as someone who has been lynched for day 0 jokey posts I'm naturally agaisnt lynching based off of them.DrWilgy wrote:Only if you let me wave shine you into upsmash.MovingPictures07 wrote:Let's go to Melee Island, where we can play a more awesome video game called Super Smash Bros.

Hello everyone. My name is DrWilgy and I am most definitely a smash player.
I have not checked my role nor do I plan to. I will, however, assist townies in their plight.
Epi is acting like Epi, which means nothing alignment wise. I do like his observation about MP though.
Mac hasn't contributed much yet, mainly fluff or one liners. I would like him to explain his town read of me better.
Not enough from LC to have an opinion of him one way or another.
linki: Okay I see your point on LC, I'm not sure if I agree or not though.

Re: Monkey Island [DAY 1]
Hey @nacho you conveniently skipped my questions to you. Do you have any response at all to what I said?

Meta is like a Jackson Pollack painting. Easy to imitate with a cat, a can of paint and a few tequilas. Relying on metas, especially on day 1, is hugely unreliable unless that person is predictable to a T. And Wilgy is fully capable of churning out CHRISTMAS in July.sig wrote:I don't want to lynch Wilgy all I'm seeing is his normal meta at this point.
