U-Pick Mafia Vol 1 - Game Over

[Turnip Head]

I need someone to be my Rider. Someone worthy of a king’s respect. Not Bob, obviously.

ummmmmmmm hi. do I have the right address my liege?

You amuse me, balloon. Speak your mind.

amuse me, balloon. Speak your mind.

Speak balloon amuse me your mind

Oh uhh... eh heheh... listen buddy I really...

I really don't think that's a good idea

Some things were meant to stay locked up real tight
y'know?

Eh heh heh

...Hehh...

Oh god dammit I thought they both had already posted

I got them confused thank you

Is kenway now the only no-show?

[VOTE: kenway] aubergine

[Scotty]

I also haven’t weighed in on the dunya/golden thing and before anyone asks: it’s about 300 pounds

[dunya]

I think Kenway and sprityo are the last 2.

@MacDougall maybe you can pm Kenway on RYM to tell him it started.

Screw anyone who dislikes breakfast. If townies dislike breakfast, I'm changing alignments.

From one mafia to the other?

(This is called scumhunting and despite recent events, I’m probably good at it. Top ranked, you could even say.)

[Dragon D. Luffy]

I've never seen @colonialbob shitpost this much without 1 even slightly game related post. I'm bewildered and feeling uncomfortable.

You’re being paranoid.

Or, she’s been trying to control the narrative.

I think the chance of that happening is really low. People are mega paranoid of dunya lately. I wonder if a scum dunya would actually think she is capable of controlling the narrative here though.

[Dragon D. Luffy]

The means which got these two to this point were created by Dunya as she wanted to get a reaction out of JJJ. Okay I guess.

no. I was provoking him, sure. I had no expectations of him. Honestly, I thought he was going to continue roleplaying the whole game as he has expressed desire to kinda half-ass this game in signups (as have a few others). I was intentionally provoking him cos I love teasing Jay.

I don't like this post. Feels like backpedalling now that you're realized provoking Jay had the wrong effect.

[Dragon D. Luffy]

I am not reading 12 pages of Day 0. WTF people.

[Dragon D. Luffy]

People can make all the reads they want.

What I see from dunya is an unwillingness to let other strong personalities drive the town narrative.

In particular, the 'you pick your role, not your affiliation' line that she's trotting out multiple times is terrible. I've pointed out to her how you can use your choice of role to influence your likely affiliation, and she wrote it off with a dismissal. For a town player who asks a lot of questions, that ought to have been a feast for thought and an avenue for genuine consideration and prodding.

i wrote it off because mac uses a randomizer. why are you trying to distract us into theorizing about whether mac handpicked scum teams? eh no thx. that's lame. mother teresa could be on the scum team for all i care and i'm not budging from that. if you're so concerned about it, why don't you push that conversation into the thread? why are you acting like i'm silencing you? it's ridiculous.

i don't buy your arguments. i don't buy your logic. i don't buy your fake outrage. you're a bad bullshitter. but pls consider that a compliment cos you were an amazing townie last game.

The thing that makes this game differently is that Mac has to write the roles for specific players tho. What if he has a flash of inspiration for an amazing Steven Styler Manboob civ role? Does he ignore that flash in the name of randomness?

I might buy it that is he employing some randomness but I can see some roles having handpicked alignments too.

Do not like

Agreed, that's an overstatement. It's not THAT interesting. I also dismiss the idea out of hand. "Liberty Leading The People" as a baddie role? Yes, BECAUSE it will fuck with people. There is no role I can conceive of that I wouldn't say "Yup, Mac would make that bad."

[Dragon D. Luffy]

Ok I got to the Day 1 start post now taking a break. Later.

[Long Con]

10. I will probably not reveal the roles and alignments of the deceased. Haven't decided yet. I might with lynches only.

Just saw this. Janitored kills are bad enough, please don’t leave lynches blind too. It’s what I crave

Lol rip this game if there's no reveals on a random set of roles

I strongly believe that we NEED lynch results in order to play any sort of reasonable game. If we are getting no flips at all, then I will just go into full Chaotic Mode. Which probably isn't that different, but you know.

Linki: also welcome to the game DDL!

[Elohcin]

I am not reading 12 pages of Day 0. WTF people.

this is so familiar.... when did you say this before. what game was it

she said something similar in MK.

What?! You are on page 4?! Umm......This is why I don't play big games, Epi. I will see you all when we are down to about 12 players and one of you can catch me up.

I knew MK was going to be big. I think Epi lied to me about this one not being big. It's big. Honestly, I don't have time to pay attention. He just says, "Hey, there is a game in sign-ups you should sign up for." I say, "Oh, what is it?" He explains and I sign up. That's how it goes. I thought this one was supposed to be smaller. Oops.

[ColinIsCool]

Caught up through pg 16. As far as dunya knowing too much goes, is there any reason to actually think a scum would know if roles are randomized or not? They could guess or infer, maybe, but I don’t see the TMI potential there. I know it looks like I’m defending dunya at every step so if she’s bad this will bite me but that rings unsound to me.

The argument Jay is making is that some of my scum-mates have obviously good roles, like Princess Diana, or Mother Teresa, or Messi...so I was able to debunk his theory given the fact I know some very good characters have drawn scum roles. The argument I was making is that I have never played with a respectable host who handpicks their teams. That's messed up and should come with a disclaimer of it's own and I ain't signing up to that shit. The funny thing is that Jay feels just as strongly about this as I do, he would never handpick players to alliances, but he wants to scum read me and that's ok. I'll get through to him eventually.

Mac already clarified that all alliances were randomized, regardless of characters.

alright, let's play along. backpedalling from what exactly? you're saying "wrong effect", what was the "right effect" I was going for? what was I trying to accomplish from my interactions with Jay before he called me scum? have a look at my posts, and then come back to me.

What's the deeeeaaaaal with dunya this game?

Could you summarize your thoughts on non-JJJ/Golden players? I know you've had them but your iso is gonna be full of stuff I don't want to wade through to find them (not a criticism)

search for nutella and lilefer in my iso. i've spoken about those a lot.

i also townread juliets, scotty, TH and kyle atm. probably JOH and wolbre too.

i'm currently entertaining the idea Golden may be 3p.

i think kites is overwhelmed and isn't really getting into things the way he did in FE. FE was a mammoth of a thread too, but he kind of delved right in. he's goofing around here and not trying so idk if it's role-stipulated or something else.

GTH i'd say Eloh is bad right now. when she had to listen to a shit ton in vocaroo, as town, she did it. she's dismissing it outright here like she did in MK and I just got a bad feeling from it.

coliniscool seems genuine, as does LC.

marmot so far reminds me of MK marmot.

everyone else needs to try harder.

Have you updated your read of me at all?

[colonialbob]

Also, thank you, that was perfect.

[dunya]

i'm not sure yet. i like the couple of prods you made and namedrops. you seem like you're high on caffeine too so that's a good thing.

Not voting Quin, turnip, wolbre, epi today

tell me more about these people and why you think they're town.

Didn't say they were town, just that I'm not voting them today.

Quin came in, defended you, seemed genuquin. With two scum teams I doubt he does that as mafia, because you could easily be other team. Potentially you could be w/w but I don't feel he'd be that blatant.

TH and wolbre have quests, which feel real, and make me lean not mafia on them. Thus, not voting there today.

Epi I just want to read more journals tbh. Also he did a bit D1 in Greece and was town so at the very least it's town compatible

[JaggedJimmyJay]

what else you got?

You don't need to concern yourself with that. Do things. You have 150some posts and maybe 15-20% of them feature hunting. The rest are defensive or spam. Go to work and I'll observe.

this post pissed me off a lot last night. won't lie, I had to leave the thread because of it. it still pisses me off.

what pisses me off the most though (well, not the most. THAT post was the most...so maybe second most), is here is jay, throwing all this bullshit my way, setting up a case real nice with the all frills and ribbons and everything else, yet sitting firmly on that fence about me. either I'm bad after all this shade pushing on dunya and you vote for me like Golden did, or you're playing a really dangerous game here. you're not one to case baseless and meaningless suspicion. so do something about it. now. and I will observe your ass when it reacts.

No.

I am not taking charge or igniting the fury of dragons in this game, at least not until I earn the privilege. I am mired in my worst slump ever and that demands a careful approach.

The point is to allow you to do your thing before I avalanche votes upon you. All I’ve done otherwise is answer questions other players have asked.
