They were already self-voting earlier. More WIFOM to convince you they're too reckless to be bad. Don't fall for it.

This is obviously a starting fluff, if anything it would make people skip the rest of my post.

I had a few OT lines then this.

MacDougall wrote:Yes Ricochet is most certainly bullshitting hard. This is not my beautiful Ricochet.
Mac has a role from the TH game, :ponder: or I'm getting my old people bands mixed up? :P
Another obvious fluff portion. Anyone skimming would see the quotations breaking up the post and at the very least I'd think they would read what I was quoting. Then another quote this time from Llama, and his thing with Zebra, which was done in good fun.

So I highly doubt anyone skimming my post would think it had any OT stuff since the OT stuff was between much more noticeably fluff.
Not to mention like I said in my above post it was Night 0 and like many people I was messing around. I still find it very odd that you single out this post, and make it seem like a bigger deal then it is. Not to mention the fact that Llama quickly agrees with you about it.
I mean he could just be doing that since I made light of a post which he didn't want me to joke about and he was mad that I did this, however I don't know his personality enough to know if that is the case or not, and I doubt a mature adult would get pissy that I made a joke about how he was referring to Zebra. This leads me to think he is either budding up to you for an unknown reason, he is mafia and thought this was good to mention, or he wanted to appear like he was more involved in the game and this was a safe way to do so.

I think it is semi likely that either DH or Llama are mafia.
I also still have some reservations about DH/JJJ for the audio posts.

I notice DH mentions my fluff post after I brought up the points about the audio posts, I don't recall him ever directly answering me about my theory on this while I do remember JJJ doing so. This is another ping for DH in my book.

Sig, you're completely misrepresenting what I (and I assume DH) found fluffy about your post. It wasn't the jokey comments. It wasn't OT material. It was the on topic portions that actually said nothing. For example, you said my point about MacDougall was "interesting" and left it at that. Why was it interesting? What was interesting about it? What is your opinion of my point, is it a good one or a bad one, and why? I asked, and you never answered. That's what I mean by fluff - the illusion of contribution.
I think that Llama's attack on sig might be a crime of opportunity... he saw sig's post and saw that it wasn't very meaty, and decided sig was easy prey. I don't really think a night 0 post, long or short, is the greatest evidence of a person's baddieness. Sometimes a civ just wants to get a post in among a progressing slog of a read - you catch up, finally, and then refresh and there's another page and a half. Your head is spinning trying to get reads out of all the Ricochet nonsense, and so you just make a post to be present.

Llama's attack on "interesting" is what made me suspicious. It's such low-hanging fruit. How many posts does sig have? Has he responded to Llama's "interesting"? Lemme check... No, he hasn't. I suspect Llama. Lorab and Llama and Boomslang.

What do you mean by this? That no World Reborn roles are in this game?
Rico, I still don't think I get the A World Reborn reference here. I don't know what you mean by "tier". Can you clarify what you meant - are you saying that such a role is something we'd see in one of my games, and not in a Game of Champions? :confused:

Also, Zebra, that's another time you have made an assertion that I don't see how you could know. About curse roles.

Rational people should rationalise it the way you just did. Rico has played it up SO MUCH that at this point I think he realised early he was taking heat and decided to wifom his way out of it.
You said he was taking heat early? Indicating that you think his behaviour is a response to the suspicion placed on him right?

No duress at all, his random behaviour was his own, and also I can't recall any frame of reference for what Rico does best being 'act completely cray cray'. What he does best in my own opinion is playing a very rational game, both as town and baddie, and rational is not a word that could be attributed to him in this game (at least, not based on the evidence we can see in the thread).

This a pretty inconsistent viewpoint. :ponder:
I misunderstood your question. I mean he didn't begin his random behaviour under duress. But he could have gone any direction from there, it's fine to start out jokey. After he took heat, I feel like he amped it up to 11.

You are "sure" that he is scum wifoming to try to convince people not to vote for him. I don't think he is. I think he legitimately is trying to get votes. I suppose it's a more realistic proposition for me than you because I've played that role and he is doing a lot of the same things I did.

No, I couldn't guess one.

I can't pay attention to what everyone elses suspicions are this early on in the game. It takes getting deep before I have any hope of tracking where everyones head is at. I really only notice that 'player x suspects player y' if it is aligning with things I'm already thinking about and seeing.

Does this make her bad? There were huge amounts of analysis in her Star Wars iso. So I'd say, on the face of it, that it does not make her bad.
