Folks, sabie voted for me a pissed off elsewhere because I didn't say something nice about dunya after she died.

Come on.

Posted: **Sat Mar 02, 2019 8:05 pm**

Are sabie's posts genuine or not?

Go.

Turns out I have a crapload of money and I'm too old to spend it, so if anyone has used ability shots that you would like to use again, I can literally buy more shots for you. Let me know and if I don't think you are too scummy I might help.

Right here

I have no idea what to do with that. It's an unusual read whether real or fake.

Frustrations with her place in the game, yes

Reads, no

She's a valid suspect.

[mention]MacDougall[/mention], I'd appreciate hearing who you most want to murder before I have to leave.

Reywas seems like a disinterested civ.

Nova or Sabie for me.

Posted: **Sat Mar 02, 2019 8:12 pm**

[VOTE: sabie12] aubergine then

Posted: **Sat Mar 02, 2019 8:16 pm**

Gonna be on my phone the rest of the phase and potentially unavailable.

Posted: **Sat Mar 02, 2019 8:32 pm**

I'll be honest I'm getting "too bad to be bad paranoia" about Reywas now.

Someone sell me on sabie.

Could vote nova too. Haven't felt any reason to trust him so far.

Posted: **Sat Mar 02, 2019 8:32 pm**

I am inclined to believe Sabie based on tone and while I find her actions puzzling, she’s someone I tend to just disagree with, so that instance Epi highlights doesn’t sway me.

If not Epi, because I agreed with Jay’s analysis of the announcement before I read it, then [VOTE: DDL] aubergine. I don’t really trust the other wagon but I do like DFaraday.

Posted: **Sat Mar 02, 2019 8:34 pm**

woah all the leading wagons are in my poe

i truly am being spoiled this birthday of mine

ima read up on ddl, rey and sabie.

Eh I don't like how he immediately clung to my post about him and took it as I must be bad and continues to stick with it and give me a hard time. I wasn't actually planning on voting him before but eh he's seeming more sketchy now. And he didn't seem to care about dunya being killed off.
Who were you planning on voting for before?

I voted for DDL he was my other suspicion.

Posted: **Sat Mar 02, 2019 8:44 pm**

I changed my vote to Colin in order to give sabie some room to breathe and talk freely.

JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Tue Feb 26, 2019 12:24 am Numbers consciousness starting platform:

With 12 players to start and the setup closed, there are numerous potential alignment ratios:

A - 9 vs. 3
B - 9 vs. 2 vs./plus 1
C - 8 vs. 2 vs./plus 1 vs./plus 1
D - 8 vs. 3 vs./plus 1

There are other possibilities, but I think these are the four likely by a wide margin. Based on my own intuitions about balance (some of which I think Sloonei would share given his similar background), I'd rank them as follows by probability: B > A > C > D. This is a theme which lends itself nicely to independents, but that may not matter with the characters and alignments randomized (i.e. Chang isn't automatically a serial killer or something).

Either 9 vs. 3 or 8 vs. 2 allows two mislynches before a MyLo (assuming nightly kills of one civilian and not accounting for unknown indy variables). 9 vs. 2 allows 3 mislynches. For now I recommend a worst-case projection of 2 available mislyches. As such, POE work has to be quite expedient in this game to have a chance of working effectively. A pool of 4 or 5 is already necessary on Day 0, and that means the civilians need to make themselves visible. "Cards close to chest" and "exclusively roleplay in every post without regard for the hunt" are thus strategies which can lose the game on their own if employed irresponsibly -- that'll place people into POE pools by default.

Role abilities will likely matter at some point, but I refuse to wait for that. Everyone is vanilla. Find the bad guys, or find so many good guys that you don't need to.
You know what this reminds me of? That big role list I made in a World Asunder.

I was bad.

I've seen Jay make this kind of post a hundred times. It's not alignment indicative. Bleh.

Dragon D. Luffy wrote: ↑Tue Feb 26, 2019 11:23 am Actually Mac got called bad after Reywas made that post but that doesn't help either

Looks like he's putting in the effort to go through the thread and fact check things, which is nice to see.

Dragon D. Luffy wrote: ↑Thu Feb 28, 2019 3:45 pm I'm getting a civ vibe from Mac. Though I've been wrong about that civ vibe before.

Fence sitting. He does explicitly say he "hates the Mac lynch" 20 minutes later. Would be worth seeing if anything happened during that time to see if DDL was being opportunistic.

Dragon D. Luffy wrote: ↑Sat Mar 02, 2019 11:59 am Ok trusfall thingy.

- Epi: made some nice posts day 1 where he is inquiring people, missed a chance to save his teammate
- Jay: flip-flopped at EoD the way I'm used to see him to. Made a decisive vote
- Mac: literally the civ MVP so far, while also being the alternative to the scum wagon.
- Colin turned the Bob vote into a Bob wagon.
- nova: lots of his reads look genuine, and I feel like I gotta defend him since he's in twice as many games as anyone here is.
- Reywas: there was a post on day 1 people said looked super genuine and I agreed
- DF: made a weird game mechanics post which I guess could be risky for mafia.
- sabie: after her burst of roleplaying she came back to her usual post style which so far have been civ when I player with her.
- Quin: his playstyle so far looks like genuQuin and I'm generally good at spoting when hes not. Also made a critical vote day 1.

The suspicion on him aside, this was completely unprompted. It's a nice little tick on his report card.

DDL's beefs with dunya went across most of the day and into the night. I don't think he was seizing some opportunity to get into an argument with her at the end of Night 1 and kill her for civ cred. I think he was genuine in his suspicion of dunya. I come out of this read struggling to see bad DDL.

Wait so I read that long post and it says there is no interaction with cbob and epi but cbob did have a post offering a civ read on epi or does that not count? It looks like epi is the only one that cbob ultimately said was good.

Reywas doesn't have a lot of meat. I have nothing to add to his 3J faking civviness read or his vote for bob for the sake of chaos. Those are probably the two biggest things he's contributed.

He does have this sequence of posts though:

reywaS wrote: ↑Sat Mar 02, 2019 6:35 pm im not paying attention to anything before this post. Who should i vote for and why? I will not read back so if you want my vote to go somewhere, hit me up. Ive had a hell of a week and im drinking stuff. lets do this.

reywaS wrote: ↑Sat Mar 02, 2019 6:36 pm why my boy epig getting all these votes?

What was he going to do if nobody made a case to him? It just seems like an easy way to get through the day without prickling hairs.

Him asking about Epi stands out. It infers he town reads him, which he does judging by this post:

reywaS wrote: ↑Mon Feb 25, 2019 10:13 pm Epig, will you be my friend?

But I have no idea why he feels the way he does.

Well he hasn't said a whole lot and said he isn't even going to bother trying to read and catch up which is ehhhh. I mean idk I figure even though I'm not great at being here often or making good reads I at least try to look over what was going on while I wasn't around. Thing is I thought rey was bad in a couple other games and he wasn't

Posted: **Sat Mar 02, 2019 9:31 pm**

I have even less to say about sabie. I can't really pick out any particular post to look at, I'd rather talk about her posts as a whole. She reminds me a little bit of nutella, her posts all come across as a stream-of-consciousness kind of thing, but a much more conversational way. I don't think she's shying away from anything (maybe dunya's question before she died, if anything) and she's wearing her heart on her sleeve.

This is my first time playing with her that I'm aware of, so I can't actually compare it between games unless I actually went and looked. Sabie just makes me feel good inside.

Posted: **Sat Mar 02, 2019 9:34 pm**

That said, from the current poll I'd rather [VOTE: reywas] aubergine than DDL.

Posted: **Sat Mar 02, 2019 9:40 pm**

I'm here but I don't know what to do now. Not super sold on Reywas but just enough to vote him, and I do need to defend myself.

Posted: **Sat Mar 02, 2019 9:45 pm**

I'm comfortable with a reywas vote. Next choice would be sabie. I wouldn't vote for DDL today.

nova would complete my PoE, but I don't have the time to read and sort him.

I appreciate that. We have actually been in games together before but didn't interact much. The spaceforce one you were bad and got lynched very quickly and the other was world asunder where you were indie and did your own thing. I'm inclined to believe you also are good as you seem a lot more chill this game than when you were a mafia role.

It seems like its between ddl and reywas. I originally was suspicious of ddl but Rey has contributed much less and seems pretty uninterested in whatever happens.

Posted: **Sat Mar 02, 2019 9:51 pm**

Nova is currently spamming the game he's hosting with a sockpuppet account, which is something I've seen in TS but never in NF.

We are influencing other sites, guys.

Moved vote to rey since I know it's not me and he hasnt been contributing. He doesnt seem to care what's going on at all.

Day 2

Well folks, the players fought all day and couldn't come to a resolution. In the end it came down to a coin flip, which was difficult to pull off thanks to the Dean's campus-wide change ban. The penny has spoken, and Greendale's own Troy Barnes has been lynched.

RIP Troy. This one's for you.

Real Neil with Pipes of Steal, signing off.

sabie12 has been lynched. She was...
