Re: [Day 0] GY!BE Mafia
I think your yellow point is valid, but I think you're misinterpreting the orange point. Scotty called MP the self-proclaimed Mother Theresa; he didn't say that others were calling him that good. He may have said he's getting a pass for listing civs, but he didn't say he's getting brownie points from other people. For example, I would put MP in the gray were I to make a rainbow list.JaggedJimmyJay wrote:Beefs with Scotty:

Epi has given me nothing to go on because of the gimmick. I leave it to others more acquainted with his meta to determine if that's good or bad.
Sig doesn't have much, but I like his point about Dom and think his POE reasoning is valid. Leaning town.

Re: [Day 0] GY!BE Mafia
Congratulations Jay, you've broken down my Day 0 as a neutral party. It was an interesting experiment, because yes, I did depart from my normal meta. Except did I really? I haven't committed to voting anyone, and my normal day 1 is going to go after low posters. Nothing new here.JaggedJimmyJay wrote:Beefs with Scotty:

Meh. Getting chummy with someone he halfway claimed to suspect in the prior post while being accused by the same player. Looks rather fake.Spoiler: show
Scotty made an actual read based on an actual thing on Day 0. Meta departure. The reason provided isn't inspiring.Spoiler: show
MP pointed this out earlier. Scotty's all over the place here. The yellow text represents a caveat which absolves MP of the criticism that follows in the orange text. The orange text is assertive though. There's a "hard ping" voiced but it is disqualified by the step-back accompanying yellow text.Spoiler: show
Scotty opened with an accusation of me, but it's not something he really pursued with much fervor. This above post represents the only example of follow-up, and it's a typical Scotty metaphor which doesn't say anything.Spoiler: show
WIFOMSpoiler: show
Oh, has it? I did this in mad max and don't remember anyone doing it recently before that. But I'll be a trendsetter, sure.This is less believable to me in this game than it would be in most games because it has become trendy
I know I can't prove it, but I don't really care to impress you explicitly. Anyway, I looked at my role at the start of Day 1 and can keep this day 0 in my back pocket.
Just skimming through, I have vague notions that MP is probably good. Ironically, I have liked INH's posts- they've had a nice fluidity and logical mindset. But I can't help but think he's being safe with his points---well guarded and fleshed out so as to say "look at me, world! I'm a newspaper and the headline is Me"
Far more interested in bwt, who i have had a hand in killing or voting for in the first day/might cycle several times now. He had some thorough posts up until that post where he posted his strongest convictions which turned out to have as much verve as Gigli. Then he dropped off the face of the earth.
Since votes are changeable, I'm voting there for now. Will see if he comes back in to post stuff about riffraff.
bwt
As for my first post of you being bad, JJJ? Meh. Gut read off of an impartial viewer if the first few pages told me you were trying too hard but not hard enough. Wallflowerjng, for jay standards. Which is remarkably saying a lot.
Another gut baddie is Sloonei, who seems to be hiding behind some grumpy, Epi-like persona.

This is our break down, now I haven't read enough to have a read on Boom or Scotty, but if A-person/Lorab/myself is being pursued to get lynched I would look very closely at whoever is trying to set up our lynches since there is no evidence one way or another and lynching a low poster on day one when we already have 15 pages is a good place to throw a day 1 vote if you're mafia.




Re: [Day 1] GY!BE Mafia

My concern with LoRab is that she showed up FIRST!!! and seemed enthusiastic, but hasn't done anything since. sig made one real post in which he drew what looked to me like an arbitrary point of out of the pile (sussing Dom for his concern about my poo fling at MP), like he provided a "hot take" for the sake of doing it.
I could play the odds with A Person too. I have no idea. The one post is not inspired.

These posts were just from me searching my name.=

Although recently I've uncovered that POE naturally describes my recently developed playstyle because I much more easily find town reads than I do baddie reads, I've never formally used POE before.
I'll be using POE exclusively this game, and I'd like to approach it both as an individual (with my rainbow lists like I usually do) but as a group this time.
Who wants to join me?
The theory behind POE is that town can win due to the fact that it has a majority, and if members of the town can collectively use POE to clear enough of each other from consideration of being mafia, then the only players that haven't been cleared are the mafia.
A player can approach POE on an individual level, like I've usually been doing more so these days in the beginning of the game when I state "here are 5 town reads", etc., and then when it comes time to vote I just vote among the players I haven't found any reason to call town.
Multiple players can approach POE on a group level with specific intent of using POE (something I have not yet participated in), and assuming those players can town-clear each other, they will then work with each other collectively to cross-examine each other's town reads to develop a consensus suspect pool. For example, if there are 10 players, and I (as Player #1) have town reads on Players #3, 5, 7, and 8, and Players #3 and #5 who also are using POE have town reads on Players #2, 4, 5, and 9, then that leaves a consensus suspect pool of only Players #6 and #10, since neither of those players are being town read by any of the players utilizing POE. All of the POE-utilizing players would then decide on either #6 or #10 for their votes.
NO NO NO ANNNNNND NO!
This is perhaps one of my least favorite methods of hunting mafia whether it is winning dead or alive or not. Mainly since if one mafia gets in the town circle aka 100% cleared we will listen to them buddy buddy, then they can screw up the whole game. I've seen it happen quite a few times so we should be very wary if we're going to employ this strategy.
So while it can work I don't think we should put to much stock in POE to early in the game.
That is true, I also noticed Dom hasn't addressed my point from early on?
Anyway off to class I go.

Re: [Day 1] GY!BE Mafia
so has epignosis decided he just doesn't want to contribute at all this game, or is he planning on eventually making discussion-related posts with every word capitalized?

Re: [Day 1] GY!BE Mafia
in theme-related news, I just listened to Lift Your Skinny Fists... for the first time, and I quite liked it.
Felt along the same vein as Silver Mt. Zion.
I do now want to go back and decipher every random audio clip that was interspersed alongside the music. This could be like when I got heavily into deciphering Boards of Canada's Geogaddi, which went from being a nice chill album to something I can't listen to without getting a little bit spooked.

I think I answered it here. I didn't answer you directly, but I was criticized for doing the same thing to Scotty, so I thought I'd cover two eggs with one hammer dude.

This is our break down, now I haven't read enough to have a read on Boom or Scotty, but if A-person/Lorab/myself is being pursued to get lynched I would look very closely at whoever is trying to set up our lynches since there is no evidence one way or another and lynching a low poster on day one when we already have 15 pages is a good place to throw a day 1 vote if you're mafia.
Right? Isn't how that works?

it's almost like GTH reads can be pretty stupid early on in the game.

Re: [Day 0] GY!BE Mafia
This trio of posts from birdwithteeth intrigues me:All three posts are responses to DrWilgy about MP. In all three he is either vaguely defensive of MP or vaguely critical of Wilgy, or both. BWT has also been very wishy-washy with regards to Edgar Allan Poe all game long with posts like this one where he expresses skepticism of the strategy but does not condemn it or MP at all.
birdwithteeth, how are you reading Wilgy right now? How are you reading MP? What compelled you to respond to these posts in this way?
Others, how do you feel about these posts?

No it means I haven't had the chance to stick my foot in my mouth, I'm a civ, or I've gotten better in my absence.

Maybe I'm just not the skilled prospector you are, but all I can see is a bunch of manure with not a single fleck of yellow to be found.
Semantics about word choice and knee-jerk defensiveness, less so.
It's a bunch of white noise, and I'm trying to cut through it.

Answer my concerns. I have now asked you three times. Sloonei has twice. Stop ignoring me.
