I feel like you're arguing semantics here, i forgot you when I was brainstorming players and thinking what they did that would be civvie or mafia. It took me a few minutes to do I kept forgetting.

Re: Retrocausality Mafia - Day 2: Sig puts his John Hancock down
lol if INH is an indy and all these pages of us arguing has been useless




Re: Retrocausality Mafia - Day 2: Sig puts his John Hancock down
I'd say INH is independent and sig is bad. Lynch both. Move on.
Then Quin for good measure.

Re: Retrocausality Mafia - Day 2: Sig puts his John Hancock down
If inh is indy I don't see him as threatening. If those words are a slip they will be full truth, which would also mean he isn't a threat to civilians.

You're trying to decide the next three lynches in a game where we might not even have 5 phases?
like we're down to 14. Nutella was a night action so high chane she's civ and I'd say Zeph is civ we're down to 14. IF Quin and INH are civs along with me who am I civ we'd be down to 8 players.
Like this level of lynch planning makes me very uncomfortable with you Epi.

Re: Retrocausality Mafia - Day 2: Sig puts his John Hancock down
Why would it make his behaviour forgiveable? As has been pointed out, if he's civilian it would make just as much sense for him to presume inh is indy or mafia from the outset.MacDougall wrote: ↑Mon Jun 18, 2018 10:56 pmDoesn't rationalise your behaviour one bit.

Quin is trying to put me in a situation where I either post the details of my role, proving that I'm not a threat to the civilians, or he's gonna make me look like a confirmed baddie, and serve my head on a platter.
But apparently the first is malevolent blackmail, and the second is okay, kosher civ behavior.
Linki:What? I thought fake-claims were more character based. Like, if everyone said the name of their role, and three of the names were obvious bad guys in time-travel related tales, then fakeclaims would allow them to at least appear as simpatico, non-enemy sounding roles. That's how I used them in the games I've hosted. I'm not familiar with fake-claims including fake abilities.
Well, what the fuck do you want from me, Quin? If literally nothing I can say about myself or my role could change anything, fuck it.
Might as well ignore you then.

I suspect you again.
The first thing a caught mafia does in that scenario is claim to be independent. You're defending him.

Re: Retrocausality Mafia - Day 2: Sig puts his John Hancock down
No sorry it doesn't make him town, it makes his bad play forgiveable in the sense that I can forgive that he missed INH's indie claim since I did too. If he didn't miss his indie claim then his play is both bad AND poor. In this case it's bad AND understandable.Golden wrote: ↑Mon Jun 18, 2018 10:57 pmWhy would it make his behaviour forgiveable?

Re: Retrocausality Mafia - Day 2: Sig puts his John Hancock down
We should lynch sig today to avoid this whole Day 3/Day 4 whatever the fuck he's spewing. He's also the worst looking of the two.
Leave INH alive until Day 4. This is important. Please.

Re: Retrocausality Mafia - Day 2: Sig puts his John Hancock down
In my opinion the first thing a caught Mafia does in that scenario is question the validity of the information (ala Sig). A caught independent would almost certainly roleclaim at that juncture. A mafia to indie claim at that point before going after the validity of the information ... no doesn't seem right.

I'm cool with figuring out who we're lynching on day 8 right now given what this game is.

Neither one responded with any enthusiasm. One all but claimed harmless independent (which we won't know if we lynch him) and the other questioned the message (which we won't know is true if we lynch him).

Preplanned when we don't have any flips is imo isn't helpful to civs especially when you'd be passing all three off of one PM

Also epi - provide an example of what you claim (mafia claim independent in situations like this). It would never have even occurred to me, but I also disagree, because if anything inh didn't 'claim' indy but 'slip' indy.

I'm enthusiastic though? Just not to blindly follow someone info dumping which may be true and was potentially a message sent by soemoen else.
IF it's 100% quin who did it i say bring on the INH lynch since ik i'm not mafia.

Sig are you a civilian? Yes or no?
If you are a civilian what will be the outcome of lynching you today? Is the outcome positive or negative? Why?
If you are a civilian does your continued existence beyond day 3 reap any benefit to the civilian cause?

Re: Retrocausality Mafia - Day 2: Sig puts his John Hancock down
Epi goes from voting his apparent mafia read to his indy read. Then claims his indy read is a mafia read. But if so, what's his sig read been all about, because this all started with the two clearly not being compatible with each other?
And Epi still wants to lynch both of them... even though he now apparently thinks INH is bad, with no evidence that sig would be indy...
His logic is all over the place inconsistent.

So you are saying that all of your role stops being relevant come day 3?
If you are a civilian then us wasting a lynch on you here is a bad idea. Given we have several other people who have role claimed, perhaps the civilian duty you have here is to actually just enlighten us as to what it is that you do?
