MafiaMenace wrote: ↑Fri Jan 18, 2019 10:32 pm no offense if there is any taken there

None taken. I don't mind at all.

Offense and outrage is currency among the young. I am gliding into the loving arms of irrelevancy and superfluousness, and steadily finding that I don't actually mind it.

I'll be back in an hour.

yo come on people geez

ill let you guys build your content up
usually shit happens when i leave

Still no excuse. My sons are 11 and 6 and they know A&C.

In the next half hour, I'm going to provide you with a clinic on Mafia at TS. For 15, I think you show a lot of promise, but you've got a lot to learn- especially around these parts.

i bet even my parents wouldnt know who they are
if im being honest\




and oh fuck LOL

I'll start with this:

Many here can be the most devious people you have ever met. There are a few who have nobler sides and being evil puts them behind the eight ball, but they are a rare and celebrated breed.

The rest of us are fucking scoundrels. We're all different, but we are all fucking scoundrels.

reywaS- I'll start with him because he's the easiest to deal with- is largely getting a pass from me because he is a veteran who was gone for years and this is his first game back. Many of us do not kill or lynch new people Day 1, and no regular is going to kill or lynch reywaS on his first game back after years of being away. We miss him. We love him. Even if he's gotten Kanyed on, the love is there. He's on the table today, but I do not suspect him. Even through the Kanyeness, I've played with him and hosted him, and I don't think he's bad. I could be wrong, but I don't think I am.

nutella - As I alluded to earlier, I am about 1-for-14 getting her right. I always think she is bad, and once I defended her with the intensity of Henry Fonda (that reference probably eludes you too, unfortunately), and she was bad. It was awful. Nobody here thinks she's bad, which means she probably is. That's how it goes. She's more than capable.

nova - I'm just surprised he's posted more than five times.

Lunalee - She's relatively new here. I perceive her as being opportunistic whether good or bad.

Finally, there's me. Naturally, you should take what I'm about to tell you regarding myself with a grain of salt (or, as I often like to say, the whole Morton company).

In the five years this site has been alive, I have the most wins as mafia and the most wins as a civilian. Unlike JaggedJimmyJay, I'm actually good at this.

I am a strategist, and Sloonei was right about one thing- I perform better in non-vanilla games, because that's mostly all I've known and hosted. That's what almost everything here is: Madness. It's easier to catch someone in a lie when there are many moving parts.

When I am bad, I hate losing teammates, and prefer a clean sweep if at all possible. That is not to say I have never voted out a teammate- I've done so three or four times in five years. Teammates are resources, and most people here expect mafia to get thrown under the bus and start looking that way anyway, so I avoid it where I can.

I don't lynch or kill my wife unless absolutely necessary (Elohcin is my wife).

I drink a lot.

And one thing I love to do when I am bad is let the civilians make mistakes. That tactic is true in a lot of competitive aspects of my life: Let other people make the mistakes. Don't correct them. Don't challenge them. Just let them run head first into whatever swamp they've dug. Let them set up the next unfortunate lynch.

Have you dug a swamp? Are you running head first into it?

dont hold some nobleness to newbies or old veterans
sure its honorable but lol that isnt gonna help you
anyways i dont have the feelings you guys have for eachother
the ages old friendship
so i dont hold any rule for myself

i mostly play vanilla because i like to rely on reads
i dont want to pin scum just because a they were mechanically proven as scum because of some role thats in play

thats boring

if anything thats the one rule i hold for myself
not to rely on prs

i realise youre all friends here but geez theres gotta be shit you do to eachother

I don't do it out of nobility- I do it out of courtesy. Welcome! Thanks for playing with us. Hang out. Grab a beer (well not you, you're 15). Being lynched or killed Day 1 sucks for anybody- it sucks more for new people. We like new people. We hope they pull up a chair and (god forbid, you know) grow old with us.

i am so mad that it's now 2019 and i cant put this in for best quote until next year

I'm voting Lunalee. Called me good. Called me bad because I called G-Man good and refused to vote for him (leaves out the part where I called sprityo a would-lynch candidate and woulda coulda dida lynch him?).

Who haven't we lynch because we're good friends? You're still here. The other new guy was here but he took a powder.

I think you're misunderstanding this: We will fucking kill you or lynch you if we feel like it. We're just a little nicer than some of the other places you might have been bro'd up at.

I like you though- a lot of people would tell you to "dial it back" and "consider all angles" and blah blah blah.

You are sticking to your guns, and that's going to serve you well.

You're voting me right now, so maybe that's not the best timing for that particular piece of advice.

You don't have to listen.

You can learn from experience.

I'm not mafia. No way in hell was I going to surrender a guy on my team who was under no scrutiny because JaggedJimmyJay told me to vote for him. I eat pieces of shit like JaggedJimmyJay for breakfast.

In any case yeah I will reread luna

I don't know what the fuck I mean. I'm tired.

real. I went out for drinks with my coworkers tonight and I had (1) a coconut stout and (2) a tomato basil sour(!!! I mean who comes up with this stuff but it was really good) and I was sorta wibbly wobbly for a bit

hm actually it was "ice cube tray." maybe you get frozen into cubes but that doesn't sound too bad really

except you'd be like....split up into pieces
