[ColinIsCool]

I will now present an ISO of 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.

Notice how there is a contradiction here between the beginning of this post, and the end. People are mega paranoid of dunya lately ... but it's also worth speculating about? There's no real stance taken. 6 minutes later, he starts going in on dunya:

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.

This lasts a while before eventually backing away. I will talk some more about it, but it seems like a rather quick reversal from the above post's beginning to this one.

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

Hot take: it is anti-town to not read the entire thread, regardless of what phase you're in. This goes for anybody.

Like I couldn't care less what was your motivation to argue with Jay in the first place. What concerns me is that after seeing you three argue for two pages, you were the first to back away.

I don't follow the logic here. What is concerning about someone backing down from an argument? Somebody has to do it at some point, so would it be concerning if JJJ was the first to back away, too?

Ok whatever let's start a new one then

[VOTE: Lunalee] aubergine

This is not a vote that accomplished much or was directed at someone getting attention. I seem to recall being lynched for this in AG. Furthermore, his suspicion of lunalee in another post is that she's using "buzzwords." Judge for yourself whether that's the case:

I've never seen so many players listed in a poll. It's a bit overwhelming. I'm deliberating on whether I should I vote for wolbre before he becomes immortal, or dunya because she's acting super shady, or someone else entirely?

What do you mean acting super shady?

Just the passionate responses, and calling people out. But maybe she's being dunya.

You think a baddie would be more likely to be passionate and call people out?

We're talking about dunya here, so yes.

Is dunya bad for calling people out when you say in the same sentence that it means she's just being dunya?

I mean, sorry for being nitpicky, but it sounds to me like you are saying a lot of obvious stuff to look like you are doing things. Like your post is a just a bunch of buzzwords.

Anyway:

Dragon D. Luffy What are you doing here?

Playing games.

I didn't know you were in this game. You aren't on the poll.

My presence in this game is weird and I don't understand it fully myself. Mac is being cagey for some reason.

Suffice to say I only entered it on Day 1 and haven't become votable yet.

mac forgot to send you your role day 0, didn't he?

He did.

I'm not saying DDL is lying here, because I have no way to verify that, but Mac forgot to send my role initially and I was still allowed in the thread. Obviously, our roles are different, so ... IDK.

Still behind, but looking at the poll.

#1 and #6 are the only ones that are good for civs. #6 gives us more lynch power, which takes the decision on who to kill away from baddies. #1 gives us more vote data to analyse. 2, 3 and 4 are all bad for the civs. #5 is pretty random.

I'll take #6 because I dislike games that are too long, personally.

That last sentence is so boo-urns. Your concerns as a townie should be A. lynching mafia and B. not lynching town. Not how long the game is going to take. I saw a lot of this from multiple people in Night 1 and it was such bull every time.

Caught up on Day 1, but I have no intention of catching up on Night 1 too. My head needs a rest. I cut on playing Dominion this week and am trying to keep my mafia time reasonable so I can still study for my gargantuan public job exam that happens next week without my head exploding in the meantime. I have to learn Law, for fucks sake.

My view on this day 1 lynch is that it was a series of opportunistic votes. The only people with more than 1 vote are Epi, Eloh, dunya, Marmot and Wolbre. This includes one guy who begged to be begged to be lynched, a woman who expressed unhappiness over being in a big game, a chaotic dude voting for himself, a guy who got fire because of some boobquest thing, and dunya. Honestly only dunya is a lynch I'd say takes a bit of effort to make, and I don't exclude the possibility of opportunistic mafia in it either. Point is, this day 1 was pretty crappy from a civ performance standpoint.

That said it's not like I made a lot of effort myself, so I'm not condemning people. Just stating an observation. In the future I'd love to look at Day 1 votes to find baddies.

As for Night 1, I pretty much only read the argument about the poll, and I have to say, I love Jay/Golden's argument. Looks like civ/civ to me. I am a little less happy about nutella's part in it. She is flip-flopping. Then again nutella is always flip-flopping.

This post is the initial trigger for me. A whole lot of nothing, but it sure looks like something at a glance. See earlier for my response to it, where he proceeds to call these lynches low-hanging fruit, something that makes no sense for wolbre or Marmot and which juliets outright denied was the case for Eloh. I implore those of you who have played with her and the others to ask if you feel similarly.

Then he starts getting mad at me, and OMGUSing:

Vigs are going to exercise their power regardless of what we do in the poll, unless they’re dead. Are you saying you’d like to see a town vig lynched?

If you didn't understand what I said don't put words in my mouth. Of course I don't want a civ lynched.

If we have more lynches, the game will be shorter overall, which means we'll have less night kills. The ratio of lynches/night kills in this game will be higher, which is good for civs imo.

Nearly an ad hominem response here.

Don't ask me silly questions like "do you want to lynch civs"?

Sorry dude, you didn't just catch the scumslip of the year.

Deflection.

And I reserve the right to ask as many questions of as many suspects as I please. It’s called scumhunting. If you don’t like it, boy are you in for a bad time!

So am I. You asked a question that was oppurtunistic at best and scummy at worse. I called it out for what it was. I reserve that right too.

Blatant, baseless misrepresentation.

Also Golden please don't think I have a beef with you or something I just like to be cold and blunt when Im playing mafia. You are one of my favorite players, please don't quit.

Buddying a guy currently agreed by many to be supertowning for no apparent reason.

I did not like what I saw in the "low-hanging fruit" post at all when I first saw it. I did not like DDL immediately going on the offensive against me, when I started asking questions of him. And I did not like all these other things, either.

[VOTE: DRAGON D. LUFFY] aubergine

[Dragon D. Luffy]

Hey guys I'm a survivor role. Don't lynch me.

I also have the ability to bring some of the vanished players back which could be useful to town.

[Dragon D. Luffy]

I would have claimed on day 1 if I could but I didnt have a role yet. I just received it.

[Kylemii]

I would have claimed on day 1 if I could but I didnt have a role yet. I just received it.

you received your role on day 2?

[wolbre04]

Good job, we will never find that godforsaken boob now :/

[Dragon D. Luffy]

Yes.

So far I was playing the game without knowing if I was civ or bad.

Turns out Im 3p.

[Long Con]

welp... rough night

Quin was my strongest town read rip also wtf mac that's not what a salad roll is lmao

and rip wolbre, and i guess marmot was 3p

so are juliets and sig dead and janitored, or does missing without a trace mean...something else? o.O

Maybe they were sent to the future! Two different vanishes though. Specifically different.

No Golden on the poll, so that's less fun... on the plus side, no me on the poll is nicer than the alternative.

[ColinIsCool]

That was my first ISO on here, and it was exhausting! How do you people do this.

[Long Con]

I would have claimed on day 1 if I could but I didnt have a role yet. I just received it.

you received your role on day 2?

I believe this. I don't necessarily believe the alignment claim.

[Long Con]

That was my first ISO on here, and it was exhausting! How do you people do this.

Thanks dude. Tomorrow morning I might be able to tackle one of the eight.

[Kylemii]

wolbre was lying about the man boob thing

[Jackofhearts2005]

Good job, we will never find that godforsaken boob now :/

I believe I’ve found the boob after all.

[Dragon D. Luffy]

I'm claiming now because from experience civs leave survivors alone 90% of the time. And so does mafia. Both things are important.

Well I need to release a certain number of vanished people in order to win, so if you leave me alone I will do exactly that.

[Kylemii]

I would have claimed on day 1 if I could but I didnt have a role yet. I just received it.

you received your role on day 2?

I believe this. I don't necessarily believe the alignment claim.

why?

is this like in ass class where you believed something quickly or different?

[ColinIsCool]

wolbre was lying about the man boob thing

I can never recover.

[wolbre04]

It would've been fun to play out HAD I NOT BEEN KILLED GODDAMNIT
You suckers believed me

[Jackofhearts2005]

Let us leave this so called Dragon to his business of unvanishing. If he is not what he claims, I’ll anihilate him. Otherwise, he’ll easily prove his worth or at the very least, distract the bandits who must deal with his abilities.

Either way, there is no need to concern ourselves with his fate today.

[ColinIsCool]

I told y'all it didn't make a lick of got dang sense.

[ColinIsCool]

I'm open to hearing DDL out, but that's a conversation we should have thoroughly as a collective.

[Jackofhearts2005]

I'm open to hearing DDL out, but that's a conversation we should have thoroughly as a collective.

I told you, there is no need to concern yourself.

Are you questioning my judgement, mongrel?

[ColinIsCool]

I'm just kinda talking out loud, Dad.

[ColinIsCool]

*thinking

[Jackofhearts2005]

It seems that the mongrels have scattered after learning they could not be lynched. Suspicious.

[Long Con]

I would have claimed on day 1 if I could but I didnt have a role yet. I just received it.

you received your role on day 2?

I believe this. I don't necessarily believe the alignment claim.

why?

is this like in ass class where you believed something quickly or different?

More like some dealings of my own with the host in this game lead me to understand that he really slapped it together, and that loose ends needed tying up even after the game had started. I mean, that's really late to be getting his role though. DDL, why wouldn't you prompt Mac for your role during Night 1?

[Long Con]

I'm claiming now because from experience civs leave survivors alone 90% of the time. And so does mafia. Both things are important.

Well I need to release a certain number of vanished people in order to win, so if you leave me alone I will do exactly that.

What else can you tell us about the vanishing?

[Epignosis]

It would've been fun to play out HAD I NOT BEEN KILLED GODDAMNIT
You suckers believed me

No we didn't. We humored you.

[motel room]

We went with the 8 randos hey. Orright.

[Marmot]

NIGHT 1 ACCIDENT REPORT

Sorry folks, lessons are cancelled today and forever. Your climbing guide Marmot has fallen to his death.

His cries were heard from across the valley. A trauma expert happened to be nearby, and was on the scene within 10 minutes. He was greeted by a gruesome spectacle, and a marmot who had clearly died on impact from a climbing-related fall. The distance of the fall was unknown, but presumably upwards of 1,000 ft.

A small section of rope was attached to his harness and severed. Clearly his rope was cut, but by an unknown source.

Please be safe out there.

Might wanna get in here and hitch to a wagon, I hear they don't like it when you vote off one round these parts

Did you want us to hitch to any particular wagon or just looking out for us little folk?

[Sloonei]

This poll is less attractive than Pesky's pole.

That should be the most attractive feature in any ballpark for a lefty swinger like you, Mr Blackmon!

That's what I mean, ma'am.

I'm not swinging at what you're pitching regarding JJJ though.

I am not pitching anything!

[Sloonei]

I voted for JaggedJimmyJay!

why?

I told you, because I wanted to!

That saves me from having to surrender an opinion on that Wolbre04 person, right?

That was me, so disregard. But you can still go up from there. Unless you wanna do just these 8 people.

I don’t agree with this poll, and think it lame that we ended up doing it. But whatever. Here we are.

Silver lining is we will definitely be focusing on these people, whether we want to or not

She fears my wrath.

[Scotty]

Which of the kills do we think was the likely vig, and which were the mafia kills?

Quin is most definitely a mafia kill, which nutella has kindly offered was her strongest town read

Wolbre I couldn’t make my mind up on, and don’t think he had much in the way of civ cred on D1. I’d peg that one as the vig kill,,which would make Marmot the other mafia kill? Kinda an odd choice, but he wasn’t drawing that much flak before.

I dot know what this adds, except that id try to look at who would have wanted to kill wolbre for the potential vig.

Am I wrong tin thinking wolbre made an odd mafia kill?

[Jackofhearts2005]

Or perhaps she is not wise enough to fear me.

Nevertheless, I will destroy her utterly. Her wishes and fears are of no concern to me.

[Scotty]

I have no desire to lynch JJJ today. Sloonei, put your cane down.

[Scotty]

Or perhaps she is not wise enough to fear me.

Nevertheless, I will destroy her utterly. Her wishes and fears are of no concern to me.

Have you previously suspected nutella? If so, can you provide me your case on her? Preferably one separate from golden.

If no link, then I’ll just go tiddlywink

[Lunalee]

Wow, a lot has happened. I think the narrowed poll was a good outcome. It will force us to carefully consider each player, and make a well-informed lynch.
[mention]nutella[/mention] , why am I at the bottom of your rainbow list?

[Scotty]

ok no one killed me. and it was my bday. i am hurt so i actually gotta start playing this game

I forgot you were playing too.

Happy birthday

@nutella , why am I at the bottom of your rainbow list?

Luna, I feel like you just read us a treatise on how to drink water. This is a dry, unbuttered statement and I don’t like it
