The Polka Heist [GAME OVER]

[TonyStarkPrime]

I'm nearly caught up but I don't feel like giving mafia hints on who to kill so I'm only commenting on barely relevant stuff.

Will give my rainbows and/or salads day 2.

This post seems unnecessary.

Clear reference to him blaming himself for Quin earlier

[Sloonei]

Damn I tried not to make it too obvious that Quin was extremely civ but I guess that was obvious to the mafia too.

I should have pushed harder on DDL yesterday.

I just got to that. It was after this post. More like he’s trying to telegraph the later post with this earlier one.

Alright let's do this again:

Day 2 (rough) post counts and impression score by player

47 - Dizzy - 2.5/5 - got into some fights, asked a lot of questions, said he would sheep Timmer
36 - DDL - 3.5/5 - had a CFD complaint at the beginning, then argued for lynching Mac, gave arguments for/against LC. Not much towards EOD.
35 - TSP - 5/5 - I internalize every word this man says
30 - Sloonei - 2.5/5 - Did some EOD stuff but more memorably pushed a case on DDL
27 - Epi - 2/5 - lynched Dom, agreed with me on Wilgy, is that it? Some catching up points
22 - Michelle - 2/5 - catching up, attacked Quin which was funny, threw out a few points
15 - Sig - 0/5 - don't remember anything
12 - LC - 2/5 - threw a random attack at Epi but then said he was town, voted for Michelle for a weird reason then like 5 other people
10 - Wilgy - .5/5 - asked me why I was town
8 - Timmer
2 - Mac
0 - Bimbo

Well this was just a true showing of townie activity I must say. Maybe I need to adjust my scale.
Does anyone think I have a wrong impression on impressions? cause I really don't remember much happening during day 2. I was busy though so I wasn't paying as much attention.

DDL and Sig are the main standouts I think. I really don't remember Sig having an input today at all.
Sloonei and others town reading him -- why?
I think there was stuff EOD day 1 that I didn't catch.

Tony apparently misidentified the replaced player. This post suggests that he thought Michelle replaced Sorsha rather than bimbo. We’ve got possibilities here.

1) Tony a town. This suggests nothing about either sorsha’s or Michelle’s alignment.
2) Tony is scum. This is a genuine slip, indicating that both sorsha and Michelle are not on his team (Tony would surely know if one of his teammates had been replaced).
3) Tony is scum, and this is a devious ruse. One of sorsha or Michelle is on his team (or perhaps both, but that doesn’t seem right) and he planted this “mistake” deliberately to draw us off.
4) Tony is scum, this is a devious ruse, but neither Michelle nor sorsha are his partners. He did this on purpose either as a “derp clear” or as a hardcore WIFOM move to get dopes like me talking about a non-issue.

I’m tempted to call this pointless analysis but it seems like the kind of thing I can only aspire to create.

Oh okay sorry

[TonyStarkPrime]

I don't know how to read any of that.

DDL is good because he said stuff that meant stuff
Sig is bad because he didn’t

Ya reckon?

Sure why not

I dunno. Just seems like bullshit.

Okay then.

[Sloonei]

These two posts exist close together:

Spoiler: show

TSP is mad at the Day 1 Mutant Ninja Turtles treating each other as confirmed.

Could be 2 things.

Rage from a civilian who hates it when other civilians get cocky about a hot potato result (a sentiment I've felt myself before)

or

Rage from a mafioso who just got screwed and is scared at the prospect of 4 confirmed civs on Day 1.

Pick one.

By the way, civilians lost that game.

The toxic environment created by the hot potato "winners" wasn't worth the trouble.

Uhm, I'm just challenging you on your thoughts about the lynch, dude. Like... I'm not being toxic? Wtf is this?

Dys is being extremely unpleasant about the "everyone confirmed town" thing and Sloon is being kind of annoying too.

There is also a witch hunt going on against people who do not agree you 3 are confirmed scum.

It’s like he was foreshadowing is own emotions.

It’s the product of jury duty. I either do this or I twiddle my thumbs for hours on end.

[Sloonei]

If mac aint being lynched I think Im going with LC.

Aubergine

One last point about DDL so he has something substantial to respond to rather than me nitpicking little things he did.

For a decent chunk of time on Day 2, DDL was advocating for a Mac lynch on the grounds that it seemed likely that we have an inactive scum team. He never advocated for a Michelle/bimbo lynch. He never advocated for a sorsha lynch. He only ever talked about Mac in this context. In the end he switched to an LC vote, who is not inactive. I question the authenticity of DDL’s suspicion about inactives, and am left wondering why his vote ended up on LC.

[Sloonei]

unfortunately creature did not leave us with much content to work with.

other people might have said things about him that could be revealing though

Yeah I peeked through it and the only thing I saw that caught my eye was some banter with tsp that I read as distancing.

This post contains an actual observation from Creature’s ISO without any bells and/or whistles. This tells me that wilgy actually took the time to look at Creature’s posts, but didn’t make a show of it or anything like that. He was looking just to look. Scum wilgy doesn’t need to do that.

[Sloonei]

DDL, Macdougall, Sorsha, Tony. That’s the pool I’m most interested in right now.

[Sloonei]

DDL, Macdougall, Sorsha, Tony. That’s the pool I’m most interested in right now.

Two of them voted for Long Con Day 1.
Two of them voted for Dom Day 2.

I forget who else was voting LC prior to Creature being lynched, but it was 1-2 of our Ninja Turtle quartet or however we’re being identified. The Four Horsemen of the Alpocalypse. I remember Quin having some things to say about LC, and we know he was town. Mafia need to vote alongside civilians to produce mislynches. I feel like LC was a mislynch wagon on Day 1, which would mean there was at least one mafia on him.

Of course, he could he bad himself in which case this is all pointless and dumb.

[Sloonei]

I lied, here’s one more point about DDL:

I voted for LC because DDL's post is the first post I read and I think it's important that we work together even if DDL is scum because I don't know if he is or isn't so taking a punt on that is good.

That's the most underwhelming reasoning anyone has ever given to sheeping on my vote.

In a poll that includes votes without reasoning.

This post exists. The interaction does not carry on after this and he never acknowledges mac again until his isolated campaign against him for being inactive on Day 2. That is all for now.

Sorry for the notifications, DDL. Blame the US Justice System.

Why did you think what you thought, and why did you defend DDL?

(I thought that the first one was a new DDL post I didn’t read carefully)
I’m responding to this with the DDL/ Mac stuff: Is the implication you’re leading to that one of the following is likely:
a DDL / Mac scum team with aggressive distancing
OR DDL / Sorsha with “well wtf am I supposed to do here attitude”?

[TonyStarkPrime]

Sloonei can you make your case against DDL more succinct? What’s your problem with the “foreshadowing emotions”?

[sig]

Ha my beliefs on CFD were proven correct y'all messed up.

I just got the day wrong meant to throw a fit about LC day 2 not Creature day 1.

[Michelle]

btw. My post about Mac was without reading the poll so LCs speculation is fake.

I saw that the wagons are tied only when I voted, but honestly, this is not a concern for me, I posted my thoughts and I voted accordingly.

Now please excuse me, I'll go to sleep.

You’re sleeping I guess but I’d like clarification on the word “fake”

Fake means a thing that is not real or true. Not as you faked a thing but the conclusion is fake because starts from a wrong base.

I didn't know we can post overnight btw

[Michelle]

He's dead, Jim.

Geez...i forgot to read the Eod/Sod

Well hold on. @Michelle were you aware that Creature had been lynched and flipped mafia when you entered the game?

I saw the poll of the day one and figured he was lynched and I saw in some posts mentioning he was scum.
I completely forget to check the eod. Believe me or not but this is the truth.
Later I saw his name in the part with dead players in the page 1 but only after DDL said Quin is dead. Felt like an idiot, ngl..
I didn't go for his Iso because I wanted to read all the game. Intention at least was good.

I've been tunneling on LC since day 1.

I now want to make more posts like that just to annoy you.

Sloonei is definitely scum. If you want to lynch scum I suggest lynching him.

Why

[Sloonei]

Sloonei can you make your case against DDL more succinct? What’s your problem with the “foreshadowing emotions”?

I don't have a succinct case, I was just going through ISOs and commenting on things that stood out to me. A lot of things stood out unfavorably for DDL.

But since you asked about the "foreshadowing" point in particular: I thought it looked odd, perhaps disingenuous, that DDL made this post where he attempted to assign a read to your emotions about the Day 1 lynch, and then later adopted the exact same emotions he was projecting onto you. Something about the progression feels off. Like, if he was feeling that way about the lynch when he commented on your response I would expect him to express more direct sympathy towards it, rather than to offer speculation and hypothetical sympathy ("a sentiment I've felt myself before" rather than "a sentiment that I agree with"). This sequence makes his own outrage about the issue seem false or fabricated.

[Sloonei]

I feel relatively confident that my four person POE is accurate. DDL is my strongest suspect. I could toss a coin between Mac and Sorsha. Tony is not a direct scum read, but I have no reason to remove him from the POE.

I've eliminated Epi and Long Con for now because I do not get the sense that either of them are making any cold and calculated moves in this game, but I could easily revisit them both later on if needed.

That is not my main concern here. I am more interested in why you expressed such a strong suspicion that we are dealing with an inactive scum team, but focused almost exclusively on Mac.

Explained that too. Sorsha got more time because I hjaven't played with Sorsha in a while.

SInce they are interchangeable, I might as well use a selfish tiebreaker here.

Sorsha needs to be lynched eventually, though. Wouldn't mind doing it next day if people wanted, even. Especially since my Mac wagon Day 2 was twarthed by people deciding he was going to be active (something still dubious), so Sorsha might be easier to lynch.

Do you have a POE list or any sort of comprehensive set of reads?

DDL talking to Sloonei. DDL is all panicky and chaotic. Sloonei is just evil.

TRIGGER HAPPY

While most of the files had satisfied their sexual frustrations, one file was still pining for a little action. It sat out on the ledge of the playlist and crooned into the night.

"I'm hot blooded, check it and see. Got a fever of a hundred and three."

Not long after, the file noticed another tune out for a stroll with what looked like a deletion gun.

"Hey Joe, where you goin' with that gun in your hand?"

"Who me?" the other file asked.

"Indeed, friend."

"Nowhere special."

"Well," the unwitting file said, "care to join me for a little jam session?"

"But of course," the would-be killer replied. "Show me what you got."

"Yoddle-ay-ee, yoddle-ay-he-hoo. Yoddle-ay-ee, yoddle-ay-he-hoo. Yoddle-ay-ee, yoddle-ay-he-hoo. Yoddle-ay he-hoo."

"Nice range," the sinister fiend said, "but can you do anything with a little more punch?

"Sure," the soon-to-be victim cheered. "Darling, you gotta let me know- Should I stay or should I go?"

"Oh, you should go," the villain whispered under their breath.

"If you say that you are mine, I'll be here 'till the end of time. But you gotta let me know- whoa, whoa, whoa- should I stay or should I go?"

"Go on, please," the treacherous file said, activating the deletion gun.

"People try to put us down," the file sang and pointed to the other.

"Talkin' 'bout my generation!"

"Just because we get around."

"Talkin' 'bout my generation!"

"Things they do look awful c-c-cold."

"Talkin' 'bout my generation!"

"Hope I die before I get old."

"Your wish is my command," the killer said and pulled the trigger.

I am voting for the Sloo. Come on guys you should too.

[Sloonei]

Ha Sloonei you are so bad

Okay

[TonyStarkPrime]

If Sloonei is bad it’s always with LC, right? So
vote:LC

[TonyStarkPrime]

wait why am I accepting TMNT town status as near gospel again someone explain this to me

[TonyStarkPrime]

wait why am I accepting TMNT town status as near gospel again someone explain this to me

This is a real question which has a right answer and two clever answers

[Sloonei]

wait why am I accepting TMNT town status as near gospel again someone explain this to me

Well we’re half dead now.

[Sloonei]

If Sloonei is bad it’s always with LC, right? So

So... you think I’m bad?

[Long Con]

I am voting for the Sloo. Come on guys you should too.

Nah. I like the idea of a little Mexican Standoff. [VOTE: Macdougall] aubergine

Wait, can we say Mexican Standoff? CFD went off the table, so I'm not sure...

[Sloonei]

Mac calling me bad is basically a meme at this point, for the record. I put no stock in it.

[TonyStarkPrime]

If Sloonei is bad it’s always with LC, right? So
vote:LC

So... you think I’m bad?

No. I think LC is bad. Or at least, could be bad with anyone. If I had to make a list of possible w/w pairs, I can’t see you as scum without him. I could see him as scum in a lot of cases. The implication is that there’s no reason to vote for you when I could vote for LC even if I buy Mac coming in here and saying you’re bad as a God given argument.

[TonyStarkPrime]

wait why am I accepting TMNT town status as near gospel again someone explain this to me

Well we’re half dead now.

That’s clever reason number two there are two left

[MacDougall]

Mac calling me bad is basically a meme at this point, for the record. I put no stock in it.

Why does this even need to be said if you are town?

[MacDougall]

I am 100% certain Sloonei is scum. Lynch me or him idc. Just lynch the other one next.

[Dyslexicon]

Thanks for the game, G-Man.

Good luck, town.

[MacDougall]

Sloonei if DDL is scum do you reckon he would go hard after town me or try to buddy me? Assuming I am spanking town as I am.
