No.
That's an adverb, cretin!

"You have no mastery of the English language."

What is the function of the word "no" in the above sentence?

The line I referenced looks like textbook nervousness... it's not a general thing with all your posts or anything, but come on - you read that line and tell me I'm wrong.

You are wrong.

I loled at someone else's joke.

I lolololed at my own joke. Fake laughter is more exaggerated.

(This is the dumbest argument I have ever made in a mafia game. Yay Day 1.)

What do you think that I think you are doing?

Also, how come you only responded to me in half? I asked two questions so I clearly deserve two questions back.
I can't necessarily always deliver on what you deserve, I'm sorry to say.

I think I disproportionately suspect you early in games (possibly because whenever I don't, you're bad and win). I think you voting me potentially pushes towards removing a thorn in your side. Do you think this analysis is unfair?

(Boom - it's a second question! But now you asked me two more. I'll never keep up.)

Absolutely Golden, as that's a simple NO U. Also thorns are best removed in secret. A night kill on you would be so much easier. Suggestions that I'd lynch you to remove you from the game makes me think that you believe I have no NK capacity.

Golden, you are bad this game.

#254

The noun is "English Language". Mastery is the, err... verb. And no is the adverb?

Ok, no problem dude. I'm not arguing about this. I just think it's funny. Just the way I read your post.

#258

I want to say The Syndicate has broken a Day 1 record.

1) False equivalence. Baddies use lynches as a tool just as much as a NK

2) I wasn't implying you are bad. Town Wilgy is just as likely to feel that I am a thorn in his side. I've lynched town Wilgy plenty.

You're definitely going for an 'attack as defence' strategy, though.

What happened the last time you thought you could call me out on day one? Have you ever actually successfully read me as bad?

Most grammar fails?

I'll tell you at 10:30. I want to see how long it goes.

#265

Voting Dom

Was tempted towards a timmer vote as well, but that would be a policy lynch. Dom isn't.

Ha. There it is.

I was going to say I think this is the longest we've gone without anyone suggesting to lynch the inactive.

1) Incorrect. By the nature of the game, the lynch is inconsistent for mafia to use and abuse, it's also dangerous in regards that it creates data.

3) Incorrect. I love playing with you Golden, I wouldn't want you to die day one unless I felt the need to (especially your first game back since hiatus). I thought our synergy during the GoC was telling of this.

You say that I'm attacking as a defence, but what am I defending?

Nope and why should that matter? My reads now are in the present you and present me. Are you trying to discourage me?

#268

Booooo.

Way to ruin it, Golden.

#269

I called out my potential dom, timmer, boomslang, LC and rico votes ages ago

#270

All of that was for inactivity.

Bacon and eggs for dinner.

C'mon it's a 24 hr day game. Give the D1 no-shows a little slack right?

#273

I can't discourage you from a non-changeable vote, Wilgy. In many ways, if I were to be mislynched I'd rather day one than after I'm invested. But I'm not beyond some dirty tricks to get you to rethink your own perspective for the future.

You shouldn't forget that if you think I'm being illogical, I don't indulge in lazy underthinking when I'm bad.

No way. In speed games it's only a more effective tactic for this reason, especially for experienced campaigners.

I was referring to timmer, who hadn't posted at all. You called him a "policy lynch."

OK, I'll give you the points. For now

Yes, but you can discourage a point of view or perspective. Golden said the M word.

WIFOM.

#281

I'll also say that in the event Made is bad, whoever said 'I don't think you and Made are w/w' might be his teammate. Was it Jack? It was cute in the circumstances, and I don't think that read should be accurate with two baddie teams.

#282

Golden, what makes Dom not a "policy lynch?"

#283

Epignosis wrote: ↑Tue Jul 18, 2017 8:45 pm Golden, what makes Dom not a "policy lynch?"

Me actually having grounds to read him as bad.

See you all after the lynch.

Made wrote: ↑Tue Jul 18, 2017 8:06 pm Eloh- what's your favorite color and what do you think the color says about you as a person?

I don't really approve of such silliness this late in the day. However, I have finished cleaning the kitchen and all my domestic duties. I've already voted.... I might as well have fun and answer.

I like bold colors like teal, orange, and lime green as they make a room pop. But I think my absolute favorite color is the soft and soothing periwinkle blue. Its the color in my bathroom. Epi promised me in a song once upon a time that he loved me so much that he'd let me paint the walls periwinkle blue. And he has kept that promise. What my favorite color says about me is that I have an awesome, loyal husband. It says I love my home and am thankful for the blessing my family has received in being able to purchase it. A safe neighborhood, a peaceful haven, a product of hard work and lots of prayer.

Oh, and whoever said I was Republican was mistaken. Libertarian.

Eh, close enough.

*braces self*

#288

Eh, this is crap. People are spending more time defending the lynch targets than the accusers spent justifying them, and yet those defenders aren't suggesting other targets. Crap. Crap I say. Time-wasting crap.

Votes aren't changeable. If you want to change the mind of a voter, do it tomorrow. Now is the time to find a target and argue FOR it, not against it.

As for the targets that already exist, I don't want to vote Dom. Or Golden. I don't think they're scum. Sprit I'm ambivalent on, though I like the guy and don't want to mislynch him early. OMGUS isn't an option. I think of Eloh as town, barring some crazy metaread.

Gimme a minute

Oh, I get it - that's a vote tally!

I'm going to be frank here folks - my catchup read was done while also listening/conversing with Black Rock and our two mothers, and my mind wasn't exactly focused enough on Mafia to get any deep reads. Or maybe it was just a Day 1 thing, I don't know. I'll try to reread and get some suspicions brewing.

#290

Call me crazy, but I think I want to vote for Jack.

#291

Vote Made

Unhelpful questions, dodging my questions, dodgy play in general. Not a lot of content, IMO. Worth a vote more than the current lynch targets, at any rate. Don't like it? Suggest your own targets and get something done. Peace.

linki: hahaha don't vote Jack pls

#292

Long con: if your knees are weak and arm are heavy the thing to eat is?
Jack: Would you rather eat 14 donuts in one sitting or vote Rico?

#293

Go chuck.... I change my mind about you.

Technically it's a quantifier, and it does not behave the same syntactically as an adjective.

I wouldn't consider you w/w with Made if you were on one scum team and he was on the other. I don't see you two as teammates is what I meant.

It's come to my attention that my initial reads may have been flawed. In order to rectify this, initially I intend to post a question to every user as an attemption to get more information, however my computer has maufuctioned! Instead of this, I will ask questions to people as they post. If anyone has any questions about my questions, they can be asked here and I will try to answer them in the order received.

Epi- what is your favorite adjective?
Eloh- what's your favorite color and what do you think the color says about you as a person?
Drwilgy- do you think it's more likely that I get you lynched or you get me lynched this game?
Nutella- what is the derivative of arctan(x+1)
Golden- where did I misplaced my keys? I can't seem to find them anywhere!

More questions to come!
Based on our history you will definitely get me lynchedbefore I get you lynched. Why do you think I'm going to try to lynch you though Made?

I have a few moments now to catch up and then it will be dessert time because I'm the greatest mom ever and then I'll have to do bedtime routine. I can't lwave it to last minute or I might not make it.
That was me Eloh. I made that comment in relation to your meta (or at least what I think of it). I have never thought you to be the type to go into heavy game discussion so early.

I'm trying to keep up on my phone, which is misery. I'm reading the exchange as something teammates would do to vaguely distance. The whole "We're going to get each other lynched" thing feels staged. With no better option right now, I will vote Wilgy (though either one works for me).Votes Wilgy

Perhaps, at least for your sentence. But I don't think quantifiers are always adjectives. Often they behave more like determiners. https://www3.nd.edu/~jspeaks/courses/20 ... syntax.pdf
