I've moved sprit to the same level as Luna because the case I presented in my most recent post felt more convincing than anything I'd previously articulated. I especially do not like his framing of the "unlikely scenario" which would allow me to be read as town.
There's also a lot of light green that I don't love to have, but I have no direct reason to scum read anyone in that group of players, and I prefer to offer a stance whenever I can. There's also too many players on whom I can offer no stance at all. The darker green tiers and the orange/red tiers are the reads I would regard as solid at this point. Everything else is weak and ill-defined. That's, you know, how rainbow lists work.
Feel free to ask me about these reads if you have any questions.

Re: Mega Man Mafia [Night 2]
This is true. The speculation about Princess Mega Man is just speculation, but I don't think it's without merit. The skipped day phase could have been any number of things, but it's not difficult to envision a scenario in which Mega Man was the cause of it. I don't think we're likely to receive a definitive answer in the near future, however, so any serious reflection on it isn't really going to prove to be all that productive yet.Kylemii wrote: ↑Thu Sep 27, 2018 4:19 pmhe was already pretty important and we'll represented capabilities-wise with his Kirby power, there's other roles in the list that could make sense as the kind of "hey if this role dies we're gonna skip a phase" roleSloonei wrote: ↑Thu Sep 27, 2018 4:03 pmWell for one his name is in the title of the game.

Re: Mega Man Mafia [Day 3]
I feel the same way. That long list of light greens threw me off. It provides slim pickings for suspects. But I have no direct reason to suspect those people. In several cases, I've failed to do any real digging on any of them, so those reads are bound to change if I'm allowed to stay in this game beyond the current phase.
Are there any green names on my list that you particularly object to?

Re: Mega Man Mafia [Day 3]
Reading through Sloonei, the first thing that really catches my eye is this:
I think it's realistic to say Mac was likely killed for the same reason as Jay probably was: having a reputation as being super-active and known for getting their suspects lynched eventually, right or wrong. Seems strange that your first instinct would be to assume it was about you. I know he suspected you but he could've gone on to suspect anyone else.
You jumped to claim Mac was killed to frame you before anyone else had even suggested it. Way too defensive IMO.Sloonei wrote: ↑Wed Sep 26, 2018 12:26 pm I can’t jusge this impartially right now, so I need others to offer their input:
Mac’s primary activity on Day 1 was to smear me. He did other things and made lots of noise, but I don’t think it’s unfair to say that I was his #1 suspect.
Mac was subsequently nightkilled. My instinct was to look out for people who would then turn that kill against me. I expressed this early in the day.
sprityo, who hadn’t touched me all game, then comes along to declare me his top suspect because I had expressed my theory about potentially being framed by Mac’s death. I don’t think it was at all unreasonable for me to feel that way, and I’d have no reason not to share that opinion with the thread. sprityo, however, suggests that there’s “no reason” for me to share it if I’m town. I don’t buy that part especially.
What’s more, he hasn’t identified anything in Mac’s suspicion against me that he agrees with. I’d like to see him at least try to do that. But for now I get the sense of a baddie making a concerted effort to spin a case against an established suspect (me). I do not get the sense that sprit has carefully considered my position in any of my posts. Instead it feels to me like he just seized onto a suspicion that already existed and is using that as his authority to suspect me.
Can anyone else see that, or am I just being too defenice here?

Re: Mega Man Mafia [Day 3]
I was being a little tongue-in-cheek with that post and I've since walked it back to reflect my more honest thoughts: Mac was killed because he's a vocal leader, and scum used the opportunity afforded them by his death to push me, another player who can be regarded as an active leader. A "two birds with one stone" move. I don't think they based their entire decision around me.Bullzeye wrote: ↑Thu Sep 27, 2018 4:30 pm Reading through Sloonei, the first thing that really catches my eye is this:

Yes?

Re: Mega Man Mafia [Day 3]
The WIFOM is Sloonei's claim it was done to frame him. It's the perfect WIFOM because why the hell would he just jump out and say that if he was still busy washing Mac's blood off his hands? On the other hand if Sloonei and I were baddies together and he said to me he wanted to kill Mac in hopes of taking heat off him and would immediately come out and deny having done it so people get caught up in WIFOM I'd totally be on board with that plan.

Re: Mega Man Mafia [Day 3]
[mention]Marmot[/mention] a handful of players suspected me to some degree on Day 1, but none quite as much as Mac. I know nutella was on my case. Jay poked at me, but I don't think he ultimately read me as scum. K-ness and alien both expressed suspicion of me. I think speedchuck and jack expressed varying levels of suspicion. I'm not sure what you mean by this question:

If you want to see other things, I invite you to look at my post history. There's stuff there that's not this.
Also I disagree that self-defense isn't hunting. I am trying to understand sprityo just as much as I am trying to clear my own name.
I do sympathize with Sloonei's concerns here. If sprityo suspects Sloonei because of the MacDougall kill, then he's tunnelling pretty hard on everything else Sloonei is saying as a result. Evidence provided by the above post.sprityo wrote: ↑Wed Sep 26, 2018 12:50 pmThen who was his number one suspect?

You can feel that way. However, your words reflect differently than what youre saying right now. Let me rephrase myself on saying 'you have no reason to "share" if youre town.' There's no reason to create a wifom scenario. which is what you did. which is what i've been saying youve done.Sloonei wrote: ↑Wed Sep 26, 2018 12:26 pm sprityo, who hadn’t touched me all game, then comes along to declare me his top suspect because I had expressed my theory about potentially being framed by Mac’s death.

Mac had suspicion but not context. yknow why?
He didnt have a reason. Simple as that. I dont suspect you because of what mac said, i suspect you because of what happened to mac, what mac could have done, and what you did do following mac's death. I'm not looking at you from any other angle besides what happened after mac died.MacDougall wrote: ↑Tue Sep 25, 2018 7:54 am You are asking me to play the game in ignorance of all my intuition and instincts?

Sloonei is town, he gets pursued by mac who is not someone to back down off his intuition. Sloonei isnt lynch, much to mac's dismay. then during the night, mac still paints him as someone bad, essentially a guarantee he's gonna try to lynch sloonei on day2. He even goes as far as to taunt sloonei to kill him. Mafia kills mac and waits for someone to attack sloonei.
------------------
so would mafia kill mac to blame sloonei? or would sloonei kill mac to take the pressure and focus off himself?

I have a tendency when I'm being misread to insist that my accusers are simply not thinking along the lines they should be toward me. I don't like it when people suspect me and sometimes I have trouble believing it can really happen. In sprityo's case, I see him saying a whole bunch of things about what my scum motivation would be, but I don't see a regard for what my town motivations would be. That is what I meant when I said he hadn't considered my position; it seemed, at the time, like he was only looking at my posts through the lens of me being bad. I wanted him to also look through the lens of me being good.
K, my suspicion of you has very little to do with Mac, especially from when he was alive. I don't even remember much of his posts. I think others commented that him not really explaining his reads is normal though. Also, Mac was not the only one being suspicious of you. Jimmeey also voiced suspicion (or lack of trust), Nut and more. Here's my biggest problem with you right now: You seem very manipulative and slippery. You're spending a lot of time defending yourself, and l don't see the drive to solve the game. You say stuff that is plausible, but I don't see it reflected in the actual thread. You say you're having a strong reaction to the suspicions of you because you don't doubt there could be baddies trying to seize on the suspicion against you. But I don't actually see any "strong reaction". I've seen you say your judgement could be clouded when it comes to Sprit and that you don't know. The reaction you've been having is defense and explaining yourself, not sussing out who's doing what for which reasons in regards to you. It doesn't have a texture that I would describe as strong. It feels manipulative and slippery. It actually feels a lot like I imagine I come across as scum.Also, to clarify on my Mac stance again: I said his suspicion of me had no "clear point of origin", and I stand by that, because it seemed like he entered the thread with me as a suspect. I also suggested that he had no case, because never articulated anything specific. He just pointed at posts I made and said "This guy's bad." I stand by this because... that's exactly what he did. It doesn't mean I see his suspicion as invalid, it just means I grew extremely frustrated with it (the suspicion, not Mac as a person. I could never do that) because there was nothing I could do about it, but because Mac is a vocal player with a strong personality and track record, the suspicion was able to spread with relative ease, and as a result I feel like I've been fighting against a case (Mac's) that doesn't really exist all game long. Other people have made cases, but the origin always seems to be Mac, who never made a case. I do not doubt that there could be baddies trying to seize on the suspicion against me, and that's also playing into my strong reaction against these cases.
So you're claiming it was a trap?I wanted to see if I could get sprit to reference "Mac's case" earlier just to see if he was really full of shit. He didn't bite.
What's the point of this question? What do you want to gain from this? If you ask me, I have no idea. This seems like pure deflection to me.Have speedchuck and luna ever been bad together?
Do you have any players that you feel are very likely to be town right now?

Re: Mega Man Mafia [Day 3]
I've been afraid to bring this into the fold because for those who are already on my case it's just an added layer of WIFOM and a chance to say "of course you'd update your strategy in this game", but here is my post history from Ancient Greece Mafia. The dynamic between Mac and I was very similar to how it is here, with the main difference being my alignment. Mac hounded me from Day 1 and was killed on Night 2. The differences are that I engaged more heavily with Mac while he was alive, and then after his death I acted like no player named Macdougall had ever existed. I wanted to get as far away from that heat as possible.
For those who will say I am making a conscious effort to play differently here than I did there: I did not remember what my methods were in that game off the top of my head. I had to go back and look just now to see how I behaved. My fingers were crossed that it would be different than what I've done here.
I offer this for the people who are still on the fence about me. I know all of this can't be taken definitively, but I at least want to provide a sample of my past behavior in a situation remarkably similar to the one we're currently in.
It's also my most recent and most significant scum performance on the Syndicate, if anyone's into cross-game comparisons. I can provide a recent town game as well for any of the folks who aren't already super familiar with my meta.

Re: Mega Man Mafia [Day 3]
If you're bad, you're the king of WIFOM. Honestly I feel worse about Luna's posts where it looked like she was trying to avoid responsibility for her Nova vote so I will [VOTE: Lunalee] aubergine at least for now. If she is lynched today and flips civ, I reserve the right to return to your vineyard.Sloonei wrote: ↑Thu Sep 27, 2018 4:56 pm I've been afraid to bring this into the fold because for those who are already on my case it's just an added layer of WIFOM and a chance to say "of course you'd update your strategy in this game", but here is my post history from Ancient Greece Mafia.

Re: Mega Man Mafia [Day 3]
turnip head in general is a very laid back guy in mafia games, but it's not because of lack of motivation but more because if he went all out all the time no one else would stand a chance. I've seen him stay on the joke-y joke sidelines as a civ and also a bad, his behavior here reminds me of a previous game where he was actually a lot more active than usual and posting a bunch and occasionally making posts so long where I'd go "man that post is really long, do I really have to read all of it? :/" that's the same turnhp head I'm seeing here.Dyslexicon wrote: ↑Thu Sep 27, 2018 3:22 pm 4-5 hours till day end, correct?
