Easter Mafia [GAME OVER]

[lapluie]

I see @lapluie hS also voted Floyd, for no discernible reason.

I know why I am there, does lap?

Yes sir I do.

[Marmot]

but I dislike Jay's defense of "Don't lynch your most active player". Would he say the same about dunya?

It seems the most popular meme in recent Syndicate history is to morph Jay's words into something brazenly stupid and then criticize them. I am everyone's favorite straw man.

I'm sorry that this sort of thing is happening. I don't mean to wrap your words into a one-line summary that might not be true, and that's probably a product of my not reading everything you said, and projecting my interpretation on what I did read.

[Elohcin]

votes Dizzy. Ephraim said so.

Would you like to share with the class?

Who is ephraim??

One of her sons (but not Simon).

Ahhhh

[ColinIsCool]

Yeah, having read the case against Jay, I don’t see anything I wouldn’t expect from his town behavior. I don’t see the case on Dizzy and I’d prefer not to vote Floyd, but between those two, if a replacement’s not happening I won’t lose sleep lynching someone not even in the thread.

[JaggedJimmyJay]

I don’t see the case on Dizzy

Do you know why he placed a vote on the biggest wagon (at the time 4 votes)?

[ColinIsCool]

It looked like a joke, honestly, which isn’t a great reason but generally NAI.

[ColinIsCool]

Also kinda dumb when it’s a wagon, but, yeah.

that's basically all I have to clarify for my vote, nothing exaggerating I kno! !

[lapluie]

Dylexcicon only has 3 posts (?) & their recent one was voting jimmy, so Im confused, but is that the reason why they have votes

[Marmot]

MacDougall's token poop flings serve no function in this game to this point at least for him, because he hasn't done anything with them. I will absolutely not be giving him any credit for sticking random garbage into the thread without expansion (JJJ is bad / JJJ and wolbre are teammates are pulled from the void, not from anything in this game). Things like that can have purpose if the player builds on them after reactions are generated. Mac has done fuck all with a pile of reactions I have supplied to him beyond a laughter emoji. Zero town points awarded.

Did you not realize that Mac had replaced out when you made this post?

[Marmot]

It was an attempt to goad you into the thread, so I would say it is semi-serious. It is slightly more serious because of your reply to me earlier

I see.
I have no reads tbh I'm just stalling

No reads. Oh no!!

Read me pls

Potential baddie alert!!!

In Mortal Kombat, here's a question lapluie posed for Simon.

I voted bwt. I'm pretty sure he is bad.

hello, welcome
what makes you think Birdwithteeth11 is bad?
they have not posted yet

Lapluie was a civilian in that game, while Simon was mafia. Meanwhile in this game, lapluie silently placed a vote on TheFloyd who hasn't posted yet. This put Floyd at 2 votes, and in second overall. The reason for voting TheFloyd? He's been inactive thus far.

Lapluie is an orange salad roll.

Confirmed. Jay and I are not mafia teammates.

[JaggedJimmyJay]

Jay, what do you make of MP7?

I haven't taken issue to this point. He seems to be trying to make a mark despite his time constraints. If I were to state a beef, it'd be that he has been pretty easy to sell so far (backing off his suspicion of me and one other person I can't recall specifically -- I'll check). I wouldn't lynch him yet though.

[JaggedJimmyJay]

(backing off his suspicion of me and one other person I can't recall specifically -- I'll check)

Nevermind, the other one I had in mind was a discussion with Scotty, not a different suspect MP had.

[JaggedJimmyJay]

I have nothing against lynching a low-content player. I don't know why it should be Floyd though. I can conceive of reasons to suspect lapluie and Dizzy beyond just having few posts. There is nothing but a blank void for Floyd. Sweet rhyme.

[Marmot]

My qualm with MP7 is that he didn't put his head down and get into things until I called him out for not doing so.

Spoiler: show

[VOTE: M Plus 7] aubergine

After browsing through his ISO, he's exhibiting behavior that I exhibit when I'm mafia. Nearly all of his posts are short. Many of them are uninspiring questions, including the following.

[VOTE: WOLBRE04] aubergine

?

Just hoping you'd show. What's up?

well, at least that was a quick catch up. I agree this game is less serious than usual at the moment. There are a lot of votes being thrown around. I personally like votes that are not changeable only because it forces players to think more about who they are voting for. There are no "pressure votes" and what not. As of right now, I can see why JJJ has the most votes (even though it's only 2). His excuses for not carrying the thread don't feel genuine. He is participating enough in another game he is in. I may vote that way but first I would like to hear from others more. I don't like to just throw votes around. Who here is born again?

I think the green reads are generally agreeable or understandable, but can you explain Nova and Scotty at all?

What exactly is a soul read again, just gut?

The game just started.

I'm not talking about G-Man's Easter Mafia.

I am talking about Mafia.

All of it.

I see. Well, if I'm honest, I feel the same way.

Why?

I see that Elohcin gave a long explanation, in response to the last question, but I see a lot of soft pressing without any follow-through. No hardcore scumhunting, just going through the motions.

This guy is mafia.

I appreciate your attention, but you are mistaken.

Your thoughts are predicated on the comparison that my gameplay is similar to yours, specifically in that what is alignment indicative for you also is for me, but I don't think that's true. Would you say that we play similarly enough that such a comparison would prove meaningful? I wouldn't.

It's true I'm not in hardcore scum hunting mode yet, I'll give you that. I'm working my way there. Doesn't mean I'm mafia. If anything, whenever I'm mafia I always feel pressured to force that much earlier on. Instead I think my ISO displays that I'm trying to let it happen organically. I have nothing to hide.

[Marmot]

I have nothing against lynching a low-content player. I don't know why it should be Floyd though. I can conceive of reasons to suspect lapluie and Dizzy beyond just having few posts. There is nothing but a blank void for Floyd. Sweet rhyme.

Nutella is actively looking to replace in, so I don't see a reason to lynch Floyd if we can find a better solution.

As for low-content, depends how they look. Laplulie has been low-content but I find her somewhat suspicious for what she has said. Dizzy has been low-content, but she's promised to be around before the deadline, so I'm willing to give her that chance.

[JaggedJimmyJay]

My qualm with MP7 is that he didn't put his head down and get into things until I called him out for not doing so.

Fair gripe, but also one that dooms the suspect from the first moment it is stated. Once you have said it, then no matter when MP starts to do work -- it came after you said it.

Can he win?

[JaggedJimmyJay]

Yeah, having read the case against Jay, I don’t see anything I wouldn’t expect from his town behavior. I don’t see the case on Dizzy and I’d prefer not to vote Floyd, but between those two, if a replacement’s not happening I won’t lose sleep lynching someone not even in the thread.

What if a replacement is happening?

omg this is a trip

@G-Man if you end up needing a replacement I might be crazy enough to join this

With me? Probably not.

But that works with any case made. The content he's put up has already been posted and analyzed, he can't change what he's said, only what he will do.

[ColinIsCool]

I thought I made a post, but it vanished ...

If nutella actually is getting in the game, I'll take that over removing the spot in a heartbeat.

In the earlier post I (thought I?) made, I said I really liked Marmot's post up there on lapluie. That's a direct contradiction in play — you don't get them any clearer. Coupled with the low-key evasive behavior, I can get behind a [VOTE: LAPLUIE] aubergine lynch.

[Marmot]

On a related note, Floyd hasn't logged in since April 28, so I'm not sure when we can expect him exactly.

How is it a fair gripe then? What you described is the exact definition of unfair.

I don't think I'm being unfair, just point out a thing that I found suspicious :[

Why is lapluie a more favorable option over Elohcin?

I understand the suspicion even if it doesn't necessarily leave many avenues. You can't win after the accusation, but it still has validity given your content before the accusation.

[Kylemii]

7) Info-dumping and/or role-claiming is forbidden legal. Do so at your own peril
Forbidden legal? Does this mean its allowed but stupid? Seems contradictory

forbidden legal is the name of my favorite punk band Boston Legal porn parody

I did not mean to imply you are doing anything against the spirit of the game, apologies. You're fine. You're incorrectly tunneling me, but it's fine; it goes with the game.

Okay, I just wasn't sure how you were reconciling your statements because they seemed potentially incompatible. Thanks.

[Marmot]

Why is lapluie a more favorable option over Elohcin?

Because I built a coffin for her.

[ColinIsCool]

Lap, why Quin?

Idynno

This isn't great.

I see @lapluie hS also voted Floyd, for no discernible reason.

I know why I am there, does lap?

Yes sir I do.

Neither is this, even though it was clarified.

And Marmot's post above is neat. Wow, that was a tough ISO.

[ColinIsCool]

In general it just seems like cagey, under-the-radar behavior, which is not generally pro-town, imo.

[JaggedJimmyJay]

I hate Dizzy's vote. Why should I not hate Dizzy's vote?

It made my wagon 4-strong, and nobody else had more than 2 (not even sure there was a 2).

[Tangrowth]

I get it, thanks. I just am torn between whether it makes lapluie a transparent scum or a low hanging fruit townie. There's not much to judge, which makes the determination difficult.

Well, uh. Orange ~~~> Yellow

It doesn't have to "make Dizzy scum", but it's bad. At that point I was the thread's most vocal presence and the one churning it forward (against my own wishes ). Dizzy dropped in with nothing to say and then stuck a vote on a prevailing wagon for the most active player. That's gross. I'm still in line to be lynched right now as a result, with the deadline in under four hours.

I don't like Dizzy or Elohcin's votes, though Dizzy's I like less.

Why Elohcin? I just read through her ISO, and her vote is the only thing I find suspicious.

I understand all of that, but townies make patently horrible and illogical moves all the time. You get where I'm going with this.

I don't think it's "illogical". It's nothing. Do you know of a civilian motive?

Is there anything that makes Dizzy town?
