Re: Welcome to Night Vale Mafia [DAY 2]
Glad you've caught up on LoRab, Epi I actually think my declared town core is one we should try to rely on, because I believe in it (the marginal reads aside, which are all leaning further away rather than into those reads now).
I've considered rico self-cursing, but I don't think so. I got the sense his flow was disrupted. I still think LC's immediate reaction post to Rico's curse is relevant. Possibly its inh and LC together.

Re: Welcome to Night Vale Mafia [DAY 2]
Arrrgh, just got caught up. Seems like the majority of this thread is a pissing match between Golden and Dom, with genuine frustration on both sides. My gut sees it as civ on civ, and I don't have the time or the sobriety to dig deeper than that now.
The most interesting actual case has been Epi's on TSP. Odd vote timing, unexplained vote placement, backpedaling and willingness to throw votes around without true commitment today. Suggesting a Marcus-unveiling strategy that no one would seriously consider. I don't like it. Will likely throw my vote there, especially given Jack's lack of activity today.
Linki: If Rico keeps switching voices, could he be the five heads of Hiram McDaniels?

I know INH better than I know TonyStarkPrime (however much anyone could "know" INH- I honest to God PMed him when I saw his location was Lumberton, NC, since Lumberton is 30 minutes from house. He never responded). TonyStarkPrime could be the guy I said he was, but so could a bunch of other people. Hell, let him live long enough and maybe he'll expose himself if I'm right. There's still plenty of mafia to go around.
Lumberton NC is the location in which the movie Blue Velvet is set, not my actual location for the record.

What relevance does that have to whether LC is bad?

Golden, what is your opinion of INH? My impression is that you aren't happy with it.

Re: Welcome to Night Vale Mafia [DAY 2]
I can't read inh for shit, but this is legitimately the first game I've ever played with him where I get no baddie vibes with him. On the other hand, I think there is legitimate in thread evidence that LC perpetrated the curse.
I guess what I'm struggling with is... is inh the kind of guy to do something that so obviously links back to him? And I have no answer to that, because I don't understand his brain.

Although, if I were a third player reading this, I'd wonder if for every time that you've been wrong about me in one direction, you're totally wrong about me in the other, lol.

Re: Welcome to Night Vale Mafia [DAY 2]
This is the post I'm talking about. To me, cursing the self-curser and then posting about it would appeal to LC. But it's a pet theory, I know.

Re: Welcome to Night Vale Mafia [DAY 2]
Well, seems like we've reached the point in most regular-type mafia games I play where I start catching heat for a perceived lack of reads. I'll be honest, barring anything particularly invigorating, I'm hella slow to form reads and opinions, a habit which is inherently suspicious to most players.speedchuck wrote: ↑Thu Jul 20, 2017 2:23 pm Poppy seems more vengeful this game. Sheesh.
INH, what are your reads right now? Last time you gave them, I think Made was still topping your scumlist.
Out of the Golden Versus Dom row, I'd have to buck against the grain and say that Dom comes out looking more genuinely town to me.
Golden's probably the mafia player who stymies me the most. Despite thinking he's an upstanding guy outside of mafia, I can't see eye to eye with him on most of his preferred mafia strategies, and I have an incorrect predisposition towards finding them suspicious, which can come back to bite me.
Then again, he's also painfully aware of our failure to empathize on a mafia gameplay level, and I'm paranoid that he could be using that to divert me from his own actual scumminess. So, I can't really trust neither my gut nor my brain when it comes to him.
I think Rico's suspicion of me is idiotic. Here's the sequence of events: Rico does the Poppy gimmick in Blue Velvet Mafia, a game I hosted. The players get annoyed, and Rico gets NK'd. After the game is over, I say with the smug all-knowingness that only mafia hosts can have that Rico was actually more accurate with his baddie hunting than the other players. This game starts. Rico has a new emoji gimmick. I defend him from others due to the similarity of the situation to Blue Velvet. I want to see him present his own opinions before judging him, and analyze his posts in order to do so.
I utterly fail to see why any of that makes me more likely to curse him. And since Rico's limited in his vernacular, I'm not gonna get an explanation any time soon.

Re: Welcome to Night Vale Mafia [DAY 2]
I don't get the feels for INH. Other than the weak Made vote, which can be attributed to Day 1 uncertainty, he seems rather innocuous. That last post was reasonable and a (rare) relevant reference to the meta.
I'm going to go ahead and vote TonyStarkPrime. I like Epi's early case and want to see how he responds to the pressure.

If I'm reading you wrong here and you're bad, I'm going to take the approach that you're always the opposite of what I think.

Not very likely. Rico already limited himself this game with his emoji posting style.

Also it'd be funnier to curse someone who was in the game and got incredibly annoyed by Rico instead of forcing Rico to repeat himself.

Explanations other than a lack of reads and some BS about how I'm more likely to curse somebody a certain way would be mucho appreciated.

Too late for that with 5 minutes less. I think it's a marginally better choice than Made but only marginally. If you're lynched I hope you're bad.

Re: Welcome to Night Vale Mafia [DAY 2]
It feels like I'm being targeted by players who heavily rely on meta for not really having an established meta personality and brand, unlike Epi's stubborness, Wilgy's aloofness, Rico's post-structural take on "gameplay," and Golden's golden-ness.
