U-Pick Mafia Vol 1 - Game Over

[colonialbob]

I'm pretty sure that even a tomagatchi with the battery taken out could connect enough dots to put me on Elo's team but it still doesn't make it true. In that instance I'm just a wayward civ who thought he was defending a friend.

Convince me why I should look elsewhere.

[Kylemii]

hey can i get the starter pack version of the events of the last two game days? i only skimmed

Well Bobby it's up to you how you spend your time. But if you wanna keep looking at me maybe give me some gifs or something k

[Turnip Head]

It's more fun to be accused by like, fun things. Make fun of me or something!

[mention]insertnamehere[/mention] what are you thinking about who is bad? Also [mention]Kites[/mention], same question.

I'm not accusing you, I want you to accuse somebody else

[Sloonei]

Somebody tell me who to vote for

[Lunalee]

I'm sure sig is not mafia. dunya was also sure he was not mafia.

Why?

It's hard to explain c-bob. We started out suspicious of each other and then the more we shared about how we felt about players in the game the more we saw we were thinking alike. It just became obvious to me the more we talked and shared about ourselves - and we had nothing else to do but talk to each other - that sig was on the level. I feel sure about my read of him.

Ok, so it's "just" a read. That's what I wanted to know.

Who are you and what do you do?

I'm a 19th century figure who solves murders (not Sherlock Holmes). That's why Orange told me to prove myself by solving the Marmot murder.

Interesting, interesting.

Who should we lynch?

I think Long Con (see above) or there's someone else I suspect of being the vanisher (case to follow).

[VOTE: Long Con] aubergine

[Long Con]

Indeed. "Seems legit" and a big ol' vote to go along with it. Even though you've never expressed suspicion of me before this moment. And the argument "Long Con isn't paying enough attention" is what suddenly gives you this clarity to lay your vote on me.

Just after I name you as a suspect, again.

[Turnip Head]

I'm on Colin now. No case of words atm, just a feeling.

[juliets]

LC, this is not the first time you've indicated you are not reading the game (underlined below) and I find it highly suspicious. In fact, even though you've been very careful I have a mafia read on you and specifically, I think you are in Al-Pieda.

Who do you see as being Al-Pieda at this point?

i don't think he even offered the concept of a deal to cbob

Not really. Like he mentioned dealmaking was a thing he did but he never got very specific. Although I also didn't respond that strongly because i was also out of town.

"out of town"?

Also, this is such a fresh infusion into the game. I'm pretty happy to see all of you out... is dunya the only vanished one now? Or did dunya die...? I think she's vanished.

Well, I'm not in Al-Pieda. I'm just forgetful, it's NAI for me. Colin, motel, Lunalee. These are the people I think we should be focused on, and my vote will likely go to one of them.

So does this mean you are ISIS? Just to be clear, my impression of your "forgetfulness" is it's a studied casualness to send the message that you're not seriously involved in the game when in reality you are paying close attention.

[Lunalee]

I forgot also: insertnamehere doesn't have a lot of redeeming posts, and JJJ made a pretty solid meta-comparison which I commented on here:

Spoiler: show

Now that you mention it, Colin, insertnamehere doesn't look that great. Pretty low poster, and I guess his role is maybe Tommy Wiseau? JJJ The Civ made a pertinent point on INH that kind of forms my main read on him now:

Apart from merely being quiet, I've a reason for concern regarding INH.

U-Pick Vol 1 (INH is unknown)

Dunya being annoyed by Golden is reminding me of my treatment of Golden waaaay back in Red vs. Blue, which might've been the last game I played with him. Lots of "stop trying to get the thread to strictly buy into certain viewpoints," followed by "that's not what I'm doing, you obviously don't know my meta." After a bunch of non-stop thread sniping and bickering, it turns out we were potential civvie BTSC partners. (Weeeell, that wasn't the whole story. He was actually an undercover LMS indie. That game really fucked me over.)

Nevertheless, I'm currently reading both Dunya and Golden as town.

Assassination Classroom (INH is mafia)

Who is we lynchin INH?

Dunno. I utterly suck at early-game read divination, so I plan on following people I think seem like gen-u-ine townies. I've been getting good vibes from you, JJJ, and Dys. Someone not checking their role PM before posting would draw my ire if it was anyone other than Scotty.

Evil INH has shown a willingness to hand out easy civilian reads to highly active players in the earliest stages -- something I don't recall seeing much of from his civilian self.

Eh, it varies from game to game. Certain things pique my townie-meter, and certain things don't. As you said, I didn't townread anyone early on in the GOC. However, I was more or less present for the entirety of that game, while I was AWOL for a large chunk of Ass Class, and the townreads were a way of deflecting possible attention.

TBH, I feel like the inability to really townread people is a weakness of my civ game, so I'm trying to shake things up a little.

In the spirit of that, here are some people who seem alright to me:
Wolbre
Nutella
Turnip
Daisy

INH has been AWOL for a large chunk of this game, so those townreads are a way of deflecting possible attention.

New rainbow:

Long Con
Epignosis (Charlie Blackmon)
dunya
Turnip Head
colonialbob
Kites
lapluie
Sloonei
speedchuck
Dragon D. Luffy
ColinIsCool
motel room
Scotty
Lunalee
insertnamehere
Zephyrus

Colin I have been back and forth on, sometimes he seems very Civ, and other times he doesn't. It raised my eyebrow a bit when Daisy was interrogating him about what he said about roles and alignments, and instead of answering her questions, he deflected to me "Long Con believed it too!" or something. Zephyrus was pretty adamant that Colin was bad as well, and made some posts that you should read while you're considering Colin. Sex Cryptid or not, I think he was genuinely baddie hunting.

The Lunalee suspicion is mostly gut I guess. I didn't like the results of her eager nova evaluation, because all it did was point at people who were Civ, or at least people who were not Al-Pieda. (Oh shit you're right... I've been saying Al Pee-ay-da in my mind and just realized it's about Pie and rhyming)

[Turnip Head]

Feigned forgetfulness, is that really on LC's baddie tool belt? I have no problem taking him at facevalue here. He's cunning but he's also a person.

I like LC's civ flow. His civilian rhythms make me move just right

[juliets]

Kylemii was abducted night 2. His power would have gone through night two. He was still abducted day/night 3 and his power would not have gone through night 3. We had no one cursed with the image curse on day 4. He was released day 4 and today, day 5, we have someone cursed with the image curse. Someone check my logic on this. It seems like a mafia power.

[Turnip Head]

This game is 10% luck, 20% dicks, 15% concentrated posting of pics

[Turnip Head]

Someone check my math

your logic is fine but that's not what my power is/does

my ability is to send players links to online games and depending on whether or not they send proof that they played the game to Mac i get a gift, on night 1 i sent Quin pokemon green and on night 2 i sent pokemon green to cbob. i also targeted cbob again on night 4, with Donkey Kong '94 as an affectionate tribute to our time in the cave.

maybe. Or maybe c-bob is bad with you so will confirm that he got links on night 2 and night 4. Do you have a theory as to why we were missing the image curse on day 4 but not the other days?

[Kylemii]

maybe. Or maybe c-bob is bad with you so will confirm that he got links on night 2 and night 4.

yeah i guess, but that's not how it is, and it doesn't really seem worthwhile debating the wifom of that situation when i could just prove what my power is by targeting someone different tonight.

Do you have a theory as to why we were missing the image curse on day 4 but not the other days?

no, not really. not beyond the standard explanations regarding roleblockers and inactives.

I'm still dead.

Ok, lets see how it goes tonight.

give me a list of 3-5 players you'd trust the testimony of and i'll choose one of them

Kylemii

I love your Sailor Moon avatar.

i was never disrespected like this in the sex cave :\

[Kylemii]

but more immediately relevant, please give me a list of players to iso

[Turnip Head]

Kyle must be bad, he never sent me no vidya games. Not even no Pacman or no snake

[Turnip Head]

Give me your snake [mention]Kylemii[/mention]
I'm basically begging

Kyle, I'd prefer DDL or Sloonei or me. I hate to be so paranoid but how do I know that one of your teammates doesn't have this power and is the one targeting us? I guess there probably is no way to know for sure but I appreciate your trying.

[Kylemii]

Kyle must be bad, he never sent me no vidya games. Not even no Pacman or no snake

oh. snake: the game, sure, maybe.

i'd rather not telegraph my night actions more than necessary but if the opportunity comes up at some point i can definitely send you a snake game to make this really good and very funny sex joke happen, it's basically my highest priority.

You are HIV positive

[juliets]

Hey Kyle, have you got anyone you are suspicious of? Or anyone you're seeing as civ?

[Kylemii]

Kyle, I'd prefer DDL or Sloonei or me.

i sorta understand DDL but why Sloonei?

I hate to be so paranoid but how do I know that one of your teammates doesn't have this power and is the one targeting us? I guess there probably is no way to know for sure but I appreciate your trying.

being paranoid in a mafia game isn't really a bad thing, but i promise i'm Mario Party 6.

i've been open about my role since early day 0, if i were mafia claiming a teammates role that would mean committing to a gambit that would basically fail dramatically the moment either player involved was lynched, with no foreseeable benefit. it wouldn't be a productive lie so i don't foresee myself taking part in something like that.

[juliets]

I'm reading sloonei as civ and ddl I figure will be honest with me. I do think it's likely you are Mario Party 6. And I do see what you are saying about claiming a teammate's role. I feel better about this already, thanks. So, any reads?

The curse where you have to post images/video instead of text. The curse Luna is cursed with today. Also, what does "Stahp" mean?

Oh I forgot a fun fact from my time in the chatzy. sig has never heard music by the Beatles. Can you imagine? Young 'uns today - whats the world coming to.

I'm reading sloonei as civ and ddl I figure will be honest with me. I do think it's likely you are Mario Party 6. And I do see what you are saying about claiming a teammate's role. I feel better about this already, thanks. So, any reads?

Is there any chance I could get you guys to take a look at Colin for me? He was definitely scum hunting early in the game, but my read on him has slowly changed and now I think it's prudent to be worried about him. Anyways thought I'd throw it out there [mention]juliets[/mention] [mention]Kylemii[/mention]

Sure. I've been meaning to ISO him because sig and I were sitting in our prison saying we didn't get the suspicion of him. We had been reading him as civ. But, there sure is a lot of talk about him so I need to ISO.

[juliets]

TH I will have to do it tomorrow morning though, I had to take some pain meds so I'm a little loopy tonight.

[Kylemii]

Hey Kyle, have you got anyone you are suspicious of? Or anyone you're seeing as civ?

most of my stronger reads died while i was in the orgy grotto

i remember thinking LC seemed bad for the way in which he was pursuing my lynch, so i want to review him again, with the inclusion of his more recent efforts

i believe that you and DDL are civ and civ adjacent, and i trust dunya.

everyone else is in the sticky "???" zone for me, which is something i need to rectify

Yes I understand. I have a lot of question marks too. motel for instance. He hasn't really done anything which makes me suspicious but I know sig and dunya were reading him as ok which gives me pause. Kites is another. It's really hard with these people that are so inactive.

[Sloonei]

I'm reading sloonei as civ

WHAT?
