Re: Bike [Day 2]
Martin, I was one of the ones who voted mafia Made Day 1. I have not voted for you because I have not ISO'd Guillo yet to see if I agree with those who have voted for you that you/he are mafia. I don't tend to just follow people even if I think they are town (which I do think about tutuu and Hally) without my own analysis. I plan to do an iso of Guillo and re-read your posts this morning/early afternoon.MartinGG99 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 13, 2021 8:16 amwell if you want to know I'm looking at Epi (who voted a mafia) right now and as of the moment I'm leaning him town
Eventually I'm going to get to the point of where he departs from the ideas of Tutuu and Hally saying that I'm scum (both of whom voted the mafia on D1)
and that's what I'm curious in right now
why is it that two of the D1 mafia voters are on me
but no one else followed them on that so far
especially the others on the D1 mafia wagon

Re: Bike [Day 2]
tony for instance when hosting his game i believe didnt announce when he handed out a compensation but not 100% sure, i could be misremembering
in sloonei's radiohead game hally was made to be strongkill-able as a compensation and that wasnt announced after their death (which i believe should have been, perhaps)
u should announce that as a host, depending on the situation, some hosts here dont (i believe) which most of the times is a mistake cuz its unfair, the players cant assume that it happened so they can assume the wrong thing about the mechanics of the game and it can become a mechanical mess
anyway its just my paranoia over hosting decisions ive seen on the syndicate that i disagree with / im still tunneling tsp. poor guy
anyway forget it, this isnt important
Re: Bike [Day 2]
i dont believe martin's eraticness is genuine, he is day and night compared to how he was as nurse wilgy in my game. roleplay aside martin in my game was calm and logical, extremely similar to how he was in sprityo's shadow game. this eraticness that he's presenting himself with here doesnt seem real (to me). it reminds me of when alison made the lie of "I am very emotionally frustrated." as quokka in her trademark stoneface deadpan tone, and it made sloonei laugh
Re: Bike [Day 2]
i felt the opposite towards MR, i felt hostility behind the way he lashed out yesterday so i'm gonna decide to townread him i think. ive been waffling. but
as of right now i desire to scumread martin and tony and i wish to completely ignore all mechanics because mechanics is what makes us lose game after game after game on this site and if we trust our reads we would have won so many games that we otherwise lost
i dont believe mafia would have a 1-shot vig in a 10v3 setup with 10 vanilla roles and 3 prs and yet i still wanna disregard the mechancis

Re: Bike [Day 2]
actually u know what, i had a fun thought
Re: Bike [Day 0]
this made an impression on me (the one in big letters) but i didnt mention it because its my first time meeting guillo. perhaps part of how he isGuillotine wrote: ↑Fri Jan 08, 2021 8:01 pm Hi everyone. I want to use this space to thank the host in advance for this game, the players for playing, let’s have fun.
Two things you must know about me.
1) Everything i post after this one is “in character”.
2) Im a guy but I dont care what pronouns you use to refer about me. So if you are one of those players who play considering others as slots not as people and use whatever pronouns in the heat or rush of the moment. Do not worry, i could care less.
That being said i will fo my best to respect your wishes and call you by the pronouns you wish to be called, but if i fail so, please know that it’s not out of spite. Just give me a heads up.![]()
he says that everything after this he will post in character, yet i noticed no noticable roleplay or change or persona or something (the way for instance i "changed" my "persona")
guillo had a lot of weird and quirky and erratic posts. for instance this one:
ISO him, he had multiple posts of this nature that are just so weird and make u go ??? as u read themGuillotine wrote: ↑Sun Jan 10, 2021 11:37 pmWho is the "town" in question Tutu? how do you know the player is town? Did you get a N0 check or something?Dyslexicon wrote: ↑Sun Jan 10, 2021 10:56 pmTutu, I literally don't have one single scum read. I'm not tunnelling anyone. If I'm tunnelling someone, I will give you a written notice, you can be sure of it. Me in champs finals on Phighter. That was me tunnelling. I'm trying to figure out your alignment because I'm used to instantly think you're town, and in this game I didn't have that feeling.
[VOTE: tutuu] aubergine
now martin comes in, and he mentions "character" multiple times [edit: this isnt rly true. im keeping this line cuz this was my thought process but i believe what martin mentioned was "did guillo claim my character?" or smth like that]
he comes in and asks "why not ask me to CHARACTER claim" or something i believe he mentioned
this leads me to believe martin is one of the three power roles and regardless of his alignment, the way his role functions is that he is encouraged to roleplay as this quirky / wacky / erratic "character", and that's why he's making the posts that he's making, and that's why guillo was acting the way he was. that's why guillo said "everything after this i will post "in character" because perhaps that part of his wacky role.
this is a very wild and "out there" theory but im not trolling i swear, im genuinely being rational and this is what im coming up with, idk. (that martin's role encourages him to make weird posts)
@Hally @juliets
(maybe this is dumb idk), but regardless, i think the following has some merit:
im certain martin is a PR (regardless of his alignment), idk if he realized this is heist setup with 3 max PRs when making this post. if he thinks its absurd to ask ppl whether or not they're PRs in a closed setup, i think this means he believes its a standard closed setup, ergo role madness-y, ergo a lot of power roles, ergo he's one of the power rolesMartinGG99 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 13, 2021 7:06 am like this is a closed setup IIRC
asking whether im a PR or not can be one of the most pointless things imo
because the amount of claims as to whether they're vanilla or not could be fake depending on the circumstances or nuances
(ok the whole quirky character thing - forget it, thats almost certainly silly, but martin is PR)

this clearly seems like a claim of some sort to me
I also make it clear that feedback wasn't caused by me in the parentheses. If I were, say, a role-cop and I found out someone's role, that would confirm both me and them. But that isn't what happened, unless I was for example, a role-cop who got role-blocked with fancy feedback and thus I know someone caused that but have no means of confirming myself as a result of that feedback.
Yes, I'm not a role-cop, but there are also other possibilities from your perspective.
I don't think its a worthwhile train of thought or questioning though given that I think its going to be quite NAI or if it is somehow AI it's going to be a very weak AI.

Re: Bike [Day 2]
My impression is Martin felt like 1) he was being forced to talk about something he didn’t want to talk about — he came in and asked three questions about the game state, the response was “are you claiming PR” and 2) he was being dragged around, told what to do and the like, behind this veneer of “you can do what you want”.juliets wrote: ↑Wed Jan 13, 2021 12:07 pmSo TSP are you saying you see why he was so upset?

None of this excludes martin from being mafia, and it makes him more likely PR

Re: Bike [Day 2]
My apologies that this is so long. Writing out my thoughts sometimes helps me clarify my reads. If you don't want to read it skip to the end where I give you my conclusion.
Reading Guillo -
Guillo's first set of posts were about how he didn't understand D0. I thought most of that was ok - I mean I think we're the only ones who have that - until the post quoted below. His post seems to say "I don't know what I was thinking" but how could he have already forgotten what he was thinking? It makes me wonder if he was just really laying back because he was a wolf and didn't want to get his hands dirty. (Maybe I'm being too picky though.)
I said in an earlier post that I felt like Guillo just wasn't accustomed to our site norms and style and those playstyle differences might lead us to believe he was mafia. I'll see if I still feel that way going through his posts but here is an example of what I was talking about.
I disagree with his conclusion in this next post. I don't see how tutuu's post was the least bit confusing.
I don't understand this vote. Everything he had been talking about was about tutuu. Maybe if I read it in context it would make more sense.
Oh yeah, I remember this post now. Didn't like it at the time, don't like it now.
He votes Tutuu but takes it back almost immediately when tutuu explains she was saying Dizzy was tunneling her. He had misunderstood. He then goes back to TSP with his vote which we never got an explanation for in the first place.
Then Seanzie votes for him and he responds. Maybe this is just the "used to a different set of site norms" thing I referred to earlier but it just leaves such a bad taste in my mouth not to explain your reads when you are placing a serious vote (as opposed to a pressure) vote. And what made him think he wouldn't get yeeted that day?
I kinda like the questions he asked MR in his post below. I underlined what I liked to be clear.
Guillo makes the post about town not making up things to push people on and votes Epignosis but then retracts his thoughts after Long Con made up something to push Guillo so I'm skipping that. He also voted Long Con during that time period. He then unvoted and voted Made, saying he wouldn't be around for EOD and the vote for Made was a self preservation vote.
In this post, his last, he says he should receive no credit for voting Made. This seems too honest for a wolf post but am I being naive?
After spending some time with Guillo's posts I can see him as mafia. I didn't like that he pushed tutuu as scum and then voted for TSP. That makes no sense to me other than he might have been trying to whip up votes for tutuu without committing himself, something I sometimes see mafia do. I also didn't like that he refused to explain his vote for Tony or his reads on Dizzy or MR who he pointed the FOS at. Mafia who are not experienced sometimes have trouble explaining the "why" behind who they suspect. But then what about that last post? It just doesn't sound like a wolf to me but maybe there was some ulterior motive I just don't understand.
I'll read over Martin in a little while - hopefully he will come back and post some more so if he is indeed town we can see it.
Please argue with me if you are seeing Guillo as town or think I have something wrong about him. Or add something I may have missed that is significant.

Tutuu I could be slightly skeptical of but a she's said multiple times that she's been wrong scum-read before and I think my reasons for scum-reading her are potentially bad as she could do them as either alignment.
Hally seems okay nothing bad there, though I haven't seen a scum-game of theirs. Regardless, I'm giving the benefit of the doubt. She was more interested in the semantics rather than her explaining herself when I kept mentioning the issue.
and re: the last sentence about me - can you elaborate on why that’s villagery iyo?
2. No explicit evidence of self-consciousness. You could be experienced and capable of faking that, but I'm giving the benefit of the doubt. I also think wolves can, in some cases, feel more threatened by replacements as they can come in the thread with completely new or fresh thoughts.
I think you should read Made's iso and look at his handling of tutuu as well.

I just don't see it being used by wolves unless JJJ wants to dodge usual setup tropes or concepts such as the wolves having PR roles that can always help to advance their position
Additionally, there's the question as to WHY I was targeted with such an ability. Given that I was one of the highest wagons on D1, isn't it plausible to assume that the wolves had NO REASON to target me, and only towns did?
Weren't you the one arguing that pr's in this game are randomly assigned to alignment? Not directly, but if a pr belongs to a specific character, and that character's alignment is random, doesn't that make the pr random in terms of alignment?

Sorry that you're frustrated Martin.
On the other hand, I'm uncertain why you're voting for me. I have 2 votes right now, and the reasoning for both is

Re: Bike [Day 2]
Well what I quoted
was, in my opinion, a very stupid statement by a player who I believe is more than capable of knowing that "they could be any alignment" with regards to PR's is a statement that really ignores the nuances in forum mafia regardless of the usual or unusual nature of a setup.
Yes, this setup may be odd or unusual. But that doesn't mean that suddenly all the roles that could be beneficial for town or are seen as less beneficial for the mafia, are suddenly the scummiest PRs imaginable, nor does it garuntee it even being the case for even one of them.
I mean, seriously? It also seemed even more contradictory to the purpose you asking if I was claiming PR, which to me, seemed to be because of your scum-read of me. Problem being, you just said "[PR's] could be any alignment" and that's contradictory to you (what seems to me) trying to use my role, or what you saw as an odd PR claim, as a means of investigating my alignment.
Which made that whole initial interaction with me even more confusing.
Since we were clearly having problems for the past (hour?) or so at that time, I decided to leave the thread for awhile before I got more agitated over our differences.

Tutuu,
If you scum-read me of it, then please don't say its fake. As either alignment, I do not manipulate my emotions so that they are faked. They are real. If they have a scummy purpose to them, that's because I'm being deceptive about my emotions, not being manipulative.
If you think its "fake" then please instead say something along the lines of, say,
"Martin is being self-conscious as a wolf right now and so thats why they blew up"
Or something like that. Or any other of the hundreds of scum-paints one can think of.
Just don't call my emotions fake, and I hope you didn't intend it that way.

Okay, fair enough.juliets wrote: ↑Wed Jan 13, 2021 9:29 amMartin, I was one of the ones who voted mafia Made Day 1. I have not voted for you because I have not ISO'd Guillo yet to see if I agree with those who have voted for you that you/he are mafia. I don't tend to just follow people even if I think they are town (which I do think about tutuu and Hally) without my own analysis. I plan to do an iso of Guillo and re-read your posts this morning/early afternoon.MartinGG99 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 13, 2021 8:16 amwell if you want to know I'm looking at Epi (who voted a mafia) right now and as of the moment I'm leaning him town
Eventually I'm going to get to the point of where he departs from the ideas of Tutuu and Hally saying that I'm scum (both of whom voted the mafia on D1)
and that's what I'm curious in right now
why is it that two of the D1 mafia voters are on me
but no one else followed them on that so far
especially the others on the D1 mafia wagon
I didn't realize you replaced in. I just thought people might've been pushing for my elimination since later parts of night 1. Hence, enough time had already passed.

Re: Bike [Day 2]
You say you're scum-reading me for (seemingly) not being genuine as compared to my past town games; being less logical.tutuu wrote: ↑Wed Jan 13, 2021 9:43 am i dont believe martin's eraticness is genuine, he is day and night compared to how he was as nurse wilgy in my game. roleplay aside martin in my game was calm and logical, extremely similar to how he was in sprityo's shadow game. this eraticness that he's presenting himself with here doesnt seem real (to me). it reminds me of when alison made the lie of "I am very emotionally frustrated." as quokka in her trademark stoneface deadpan tone, and it made sloonei laugh
Are you saying that I am scum for not being aware of what I generally do, most often, as town?
Or is it more complicated than that?
Also, yes I've been erratic before. It just doesn't happen every single town game I have. I think you saw a fair amount of erratic me for parts of the Grassland games earlier last year.

Well, I guess its better sharing the information tbh.
Well, actually, I have to ask the host because I can't exactly "paraphrase" it.

Re: Bike [Day 2]
Okay, so what I got last night was, exclusively, an image.
It was a black-and-white picture of a lightly-colored bike partially submerged in (what I guess is) quicksand. The bike had no seat to it.
It was titled "A haunting vision".
Oh, and the picture had a white border around it sorta like a picture frame.
Now the reason why I think this might be not negative utility is because apparently someone else died on N1 along with the usual mafia kill.
Which makes me think there may not be another extra kill power out there aside from host compensation, but I don't really speculate on that, especially since I'm not aware of anything that has happened warranting that.
Unless its some sort of arsonist-like role with a smaller mafia?

Anyways since there's only at most 3 power roles I figured I should mention it rather than keep it hidden.

Also I hardclaim vanilla.
If you thought my entrance was "because I am a PR" then please get out of here.
As a saying; not literally asking you to leave the game!

Re: Bike [Day 2]
In response to the Juliets wall on Gulio here
In top-down order for each spoiler/note.
1. They were quite confused by the D0 obviously, and probably felt out of place. That creates anxiety for people regardless of alignment IMO, and depends more on their personality as to how they handle that. Additionally, Jay said this at the start of day 0:
2. Okay.
3. Now, I'm not Gulio, but I do believe I can sympathize with it to a degree for a few reasons. Firstly, in my first town game here on TS with Tutuu I did at some point heavily scum-read her for (if I recall) bad reasons. Secondly, as Tutuu herself has noted multiple times this game, she is or was a frequent miselimination. People, in general, seem to have a hard time with Tutuu without having played with them before.
4. Last time they talked about Tutuu for the time of this quote was ~32 hours ago. And considering this game had ~1200 posts by the end of day 1, it isn't too inconceivable that they change their mind a little bit until later as a lot of posts had likely happened since then. Additionally, with their past post that you quoted, they work on a "guilty until proven innocent" mindset; in a sense one person is still guilty but is just less suspicious than other "guilty" persons. Though that may be stretching it a bit.
5. Okay. I could chop this up to "just having self-consciousness as part of being in a new community" buuut considering wolves are self-conscious as well, at least in the ideal world, that probably isn't going to fly (by you guys)....
6. No idea. I can't think of anything other than bringing up a "hey guys you're trying to yeet a new player in your community on day 1" card. But I doubt they were thinking that. Maybe they were just over-confident in themselves; I'm not Gulio and I don't really know them.
And the next two spoilers are pro-town-gulio, thus having no comment from me.

If Gulio relied on this even partially, then they would have little reason to expect that D0, as per what Nanook implies in that quote, is or can be heavily involved in people's reads.JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Fri Jan 08, 2021 7:23 pm It is Day 0. Day 1 will begin at 6:00 PM EDT tomorrow the 9th of January. You may treat this day as an ordinary game day, but there will be no voting until Day 1 begins. The primary purpose of Day 0 is to allow players to become aware the game has started and to check in. The thread is open.

Re: Bike [Day 2]
Honestly #5 and #6 are kinda contradictory.
All I can say is that not every human being will be absolutely rational at all times.
Sometimes we just act erratically, or have external pressures unrelated to the game that make playing the game either a problem in the game or a problem for us as people.

Thanks for clarifying, Martin. I guess we wait and see if someone else gets one tonight? You are hoping it can clear you?
