2018 Socky Awards Mafia (FINAL PRESENTATIONS!)

[speedchuck]

I don't think anyone's really worth trusting on page 3.

[G-Man]

Makes you wonder if killing an inactive is the right move.

Doesn't it though? (inactive in my eyes being someone inactive in the past 24 hours, btw. Everyone's posted at least once, I think.)

But at the same time, mafia folks are more likely to post just a little to get by IMO. Gives them a way to control the vote if we start going after inactives.

I don't really want to lynch the more active people or the inactives, but how do I choose between people who have only made a few non-game-related posts?

My understanding is similar. I always assume there’s at least one baddie that tries to skate by on minimal content, though. Whether they’re just busy IRL or they want to make themselves harder to find by offering fewer posts to analyze. Sometimes it’s just someone who doesn’t post as much in general.

The last time I saw baddies dominate the game by having all their members among the most talkative and active players was one of Golden the Coward’s Lost games. The 24-hour phase makes it tough though. There’s no guarantee that people can make their schedules fit around the start of the game but a baddie is just as likely to take advantage of the understanding that timing sucks in 24/24 games sometimes.

I plan on not taking things too seriously this Day 1, so let’s just lynch someone and reveal another Socky winner.

[VOTE: S~V~S] aubergine

A nostalgia vote for SVS, but she's also quite obviously bad bad bad.

Thanks alot I would return the favor, but it looks like you already have a vote (becasue you do/do not like socks?) and I would rather not place a second joke vote on someone with such a spread.

I see that Nova didn't really explain his LC vote. I saw DDL did but I don't see what was opportunistic about LC's vote, although I think Bob is more likely trying to relive the fun he had with Presidential quotes (unless he does this self imposed posting gimmick all the time?) than anything.

Still not loving G Mans vote, plus I see he is making feints at no shows when I seem to recall that we have a few replacements.

Ugh, the poll has way too many single votes on it right now.

Maybe you could fix that?

Lol last time someone called Luna out for not practicing what she was preaching she was bad

I don't necessarily suspect her for it here though. Only so much one can do

But we only have 4.5 hours so yeah who should we start grouping votes onto? I'd love to hear thoughts other than my own

The way you start the sentence with "lol" before throwing shade at someone then saying you won't "necessarily" vote for them triggered my senses.

I too, don't feel comfortable trusting nutella.

Why not? Nutella lols quite a bit, why do you think it is alignment indicative? If you had to vote now, who would you vote for?

I have to finish my Socky thing, if I had to vote now it would be G Man, but as Luna says, we should be tightening up rather than spreading out more.

Because she was scum last time I thought she might me town. So I now cannot trust her.
And If I had to vote now, I would [VOTE: Dragon D Luffy] aubergine because he is voting Long Con because Long Con is voting colonialbob for posting in pictures. DDL says the reason this makes LC look sketchy is :

Bob's posts don't make me feel anything in special but then LC latching on him gives me opportunistic vibes.

But in fact, DDL could be bad and also looking for an opportunistic lynch, and is therefore hyper-aware of other people acting opportunistic.

[reywaS]

Oh and in case it wasn't clear I believe that Epi is exhibiting behavior that indicates he received a mafia role card.

Are you and Epi scum mates again?

Of course not. It's the perspective I gained from being scum with him recently that is drawing my attention to some of his behavior here. Maybe there is some element of recency bias, I should admit, but it is based in actual content. Like look at how he deflected the "reading the rules" accusation back onto speed.

ummm....hi there....ummm, excuse for ummm being perhaps a tad pedantic, but you use "recency bias" and "but it's based on actual content" here. That seems redundant to me. Your recency bias is actual content from the previous game, no? So your recency bias is content, yes. That seems like a wasted bullshitty sentence to me. Perhaps I'm missing something?

[JaggedJimmyJay]

Hey gang. Be reminded that awards presentations are due by the deadline of Day 1, which is in just under three hours.

Nutella I can't help it, it's an involuntary reaction. You say scummy things and it triggers my scumdar. I have to use all my willpower just to keep it down.

[Epignosis]

Anybody voting for any reason whatsoever Day 1 is opportunistic and should be lynched.

That doesn't make sense. if I'm town I'm also looking for people acting opportunistic. I don't have to be scum to detect that.

[nutella]

Rey I think you are misinterpreting what I said.

[Dragon D. Luffy]

This is normally the point where I'd be reading a reasonable LC defense and looking for a more serious wagon but LC hasn't posted again yet.

What do I do? I don't wanna pull the trigger on Nutella either.

[Dragon D. Luffy]

Point is this LC wagon is kind of weak but it's the best thing I came up with so far.

[Epignosis]

My vote is on Enrique. Asking a question without the proper punctuation, showing us Aunt Rachel and then fucking off elsewhere does nothing for me.

[reywaS]

Rey I think you are misinterpreting what I said.

i accept that as a possibility. My post to you there was asking for clarification.

Auto sus or a No U? You pretty much ignored my post this AM. You basically made a vote to call out MP, but you did not actually call him out. Weak sauce, not sure I buy it.

[nutella]

Your tripping sense. SVS is obvtown.


....or is that just the recency bias speaking

[G-Man]

Mention tags start with the @ symbol, which would have wrecked my shenanigans. I also tend to ignore a lot of people’s questions. I’m also getting pretty good at spotting baddie bullsuit early-game accusations against me (like Nutella in Vanilla). Your supposed expectations of my play don’t smell right. Prove me wrong.

[reywaS]

lmao at bullsuit. ah....memories.

nutella is it based on actual content tho?

That vote would have caught my eye regardless of who made it. Whatever baddie BS you think you are spotting it isnt from me becasue I am not bad. And "proof", lol, cute.

My shenanigans and my vote are mutually exclusive events. Maybe you’ll spot it in time.

[sabie12]

Oh this is so hard when there really isnt much to go off of yet. I completed my award presentation at least. And as someone who hasnt posted much it's mostly just due to being at work and when I had looked before there wasnt a whole of conversations going. I saw people discussing the validity of what type of socks people wear. I wear nerdy socks if that means anything


I'm never a fan of votes with no explanation even a small one. Nova is actually kind of participating this game but has a track record for barely doing anything and then either getting replaced or killed off and he ended up being a civ. LC was quick to accuse cbob due to his posting memes but I was accusing reways because of that last game and was wrong. Though I died before it mattered anyway.

Epi and speed voting Enrique for posting twice and then not showing up again. I dont know I mean I do understand this logic on the sense that he didnt say anything other than saying what is going on and posting a video I didn't watch. It's like a confusion over what is happening and then adding to confusion by posting something random and then disappearing. I can see how this could be bad.

Epi and nutella were baddie teammates last game and this game she's accusing him wonder if they are in fact on differing teams or not?

[sabie12]

My church just cancelled all evening activities due to the polar vortex of doom, so now you’re stuck with me until the deadline. Lucky you.

I'm also in a crazy polar vortex and not going anywhere. Blahh. Anyway did you explain your vote? Also you seemed to defend low posting early game and then say eh whatever get rid of one of them and get the game moving along.

I did not spot it. But if you really wanted to call him out, then, why not quote his one post? Your shenanigans seem to allow for that. Like I said, that post seemed like a call out, but then you did not call him out. I have not voted for you, and likely will not since no one is feeling it but me, and it is already spread too far. But I am not a huge fan of this No U thing you got going on here.

And as I said, I am not bad.

I am downstate NY, and we are just getting vortexed now. It was 31* when I left work at 4, and now it's 16* a bit over 2 hours later with a wind chill of -2. Ugh.

My thermometer reads 7 degrees with a windchill factor of -9. Stay safe, folks.
