Assassin's Creed Mafia (OVER!)

[ts account]

I'll admit, I do find it a bit weird how LC still has his vote on Sloonei after all this time without providing any further elaboration.

It's just a remnant by now, of a vote cast in a boring thread. Don't consider it to mean he's my top suspect... I put more focus in my other game today due to the 72-hour days in this one, and I need to get back in here and play.

Hi there, I want you to elaborate on that false dichotomy you pointed out.

[Long Con]

Of the thirteen people in the thread, I feel like Epi, speed and TSP have been the most under the radar (LC too, but he has been brought up by many people so if that was his strategy it failed). Not sure about TSP since I have never played with him but Epi and speed are typically a lot more vocal and seeing only their comparatively minor contributions to the game seems weird.

Again, not my strategy, just haven't put the time in yet.

[leetic]

I think Sloonei is good anyway.

GTH on Funnygurl? Turnip? Mac? Me?

Dragomir presented only two possible reasons why I did my Sloonei vote: lazy town or lazy mafia. Neither of them match the reality of my vote.

Going back to my Dominion game with my wife, I'll be back on later.

When they are back, give me the reality.

[Epignosis]

Sometimes you have to vote without giving a reason. You've got to tickle their balls a little.

LC especially needs ball tickling. His first couple of posts looked fun, but after he voted for Sloonei and got questioned for it his energy just died. Ever since then each post has been ineffectual defense without any of that town spark.

Fair enough, ball tickling is legit.

I'm not usually the high-energy star of Day 1, either alignment. Too many divas out there to compete with, I listen more than I talk.

What are your thoughts on the Sloonei/ts account drama?

I need to go over it again, my initial recollection is Much Ado About Nothing.

Plagiarist.

[Epignosis]

sloonei and ts being w/w is my new favorite conspiracy theory

Sloonei wouldn't be comfortable with that. He'd try if you asked, but he's not. This is not bad Sloonei and bad TS.

[Sloonei]

I was about to move my vote to leetic but I saw he already has 4 votes.

[Epignosis]

I just...completely disagree with everything TS says. I don't know what to do about that.

I do.

[Epignosis]

LC playing scummy on purpose is not his civ MO

Disagree.

[Epignosis]

The hell is Epignosis? I thought he was made of free time right now

Number one, why do you care about little me so much?

Number two, I'm in two games. Day 1 just ended earlier in the other one

[Epignosis]

The hell is Epignosis? I thought he was made of free time right now

I've given epi a pass so far in here. My game just had a deadline and he was heavily involved there. We've got ~48 hours left here. He'll show up.

Fuckin' A.

[leetic]

Does anyone else think it's weird that we have ~40 hours left and I'm already at L-3?

[Epignosis]

Post #342 and #346 seem to be confirmation bias because they show turnip is starting with the conclusion- Sloonei is scum- and then seeing the play fit into that pattern, rather than looking at the play and deciding that they are scum because xyz.

I have read very little but I am exceptionally confident Sloonei is town so anyone accused of "starting with the conclusion Sloonei is scum" immediately bears analysis.

Agreed.

This is unrelated to all things, but ts account called a vote for me in the thread but didn't cast it in the poll.

If you're the best at reading Long Con I'll leave you to it. You don't need any explanation from me.

I do not think that is how it works. I do not believe I have seen a case from you yet, so perhaps you can share that with me and I can either dismiss it outright or dismiss it piece by piece depending how bad it is.

No. What's weird about it?

I think it's likely that at least one of my voters is scum. Probably precisely one since it would be risky for mafia to gang up on someone this early

[Sloonei]

All three of my scum partners from the game that ended a week ago have declared me a confident town read. That ought to grant me confirmed town status, I think.

Probably so, but better to be confident about my reads to make it easier for people to read me, and to be wrong, than to not push anywhere and stay in the PoE.

I once again disagree. Push your reads forward. It is easier for others to judge you based on your effort level rather than the confidence with which you state reads.

It's still pretty early in the game when many users are throwing around suspicions. But a wagon of four people, rather close to the number needed to hammer, is not a thrown suspicion. It's a clear choice. Especially jarring when no other wagon has reached three yet.

One of the users on my wagon is ted, who I have found suspicious for other reasons. But I think the person whose vote on me looks the worst is Mac. First of all is how subtly he voted - he didn't even post that he voted for me until much later, despite being the third vote on me - the point where it becomes a viable wagon. Secondly, when he finally posted a reason for the vote, he just phrased it as following ted and not mentioning anything about me. Overall, a very sneaky vote that was barely noticed, and the results of which are clear.

I don't know the answer to that. What would satisfy you? I've already said I think ts is engaging in bullshit discussion about mechanics and people who talk about mechanics. ts looks nervous. Like someone who bit off more than he can chew and is trying to make himself out to be the big fish regardless.

Gimme the up-to-the-minute condensed version of this read please.

I had a page one mindmeld with leetic, so right off the bat I was looking at them to be town. Their snapback onto me over our 1v1 felt very "leetic" in that it was misconstrued, something leetic does quite often. But what struck me about it was how much it felt like fear of pocketing- it seemed like a direct response to my town read of the slot. This is a little bit tempered by their insistence that they have no fear of pocketing, and it means I have to decide whether leetic is lying about fear of pocketing or if that post was as weird and bizarre as everyone else seemed to think it was. Currently, I agree with them that there should not be four players on their wagon, and I do think funnygurl has some scum equity. If I consider that I thought leetic to be town beforehand and funnygurl to be scum beforehand, funnygurl joining the leetic wagon is certainly a red flag for me and slightly solidifies both of these reads.

[Epignosis]

I'm not voting Sloonei and I'm not voting leetic.

Do better.
