he pocketed too many people. namely me, ddl and jay. did not have any suspicions or doubts where we're concerned. comes off extremely tmi and fake.

between Mac and nutella, I think I'd rather see Mac lynched.
[VOTE: Mac] aubergine

Instructor just asked me a question I was not listening to, and I managed to b/s an answer.

no. and even if she was, we'd need more than 8 minutes to process this claim. she isn't being lynched today.

How long do you need to process claims?

10-12 business days? I hear that’s standard.

Lol good.

Um. I just got home from work. I haven’t read but the mentions I got notifications for. There is no way I’ll catch up in 15 minutes. or ever at this rate

stump isn’t a very common role is it? i’m not 100% convinced by juliets’ claim because i imagine it’s relatively safe to claim by mafia but it’s good enough for now

Mac’s town cause Juliets and Daisy are mafia. Daisy now voting Mac after her for show vote on Juliets and saying she townread Mac. Oh well I tried.

lurkers start appearing near eod

I hate to see all this stirring up here at the end. Daisy says she is voting Mac b/c she is sleep deprived and annoyed and "I hope you're right Jay" but Jay is on neverwhere and not Mac. WTF people. we had 24 hours to work this out. switching around at the last damn minute usually is a mafia thing trying to get voted away from their team, am I right?

so much linki, I pushed through

Spoiler: show

also i’m still confused what the deal with juliets, daisy and jack was and i’m not gonna even ask, gonna read that bit again tomorrow when im not tired as shit

it is a true claim. I never would have thought to make it up because I've only seen it once that I recall, a long time ago.

Jay presented a case for Mac being bad that had some good points, but he also brought up earlier in EOD that we could default to an inactive player which in this case is Neverwhere. He elected to do that.

I'm fine with a Mac lynch.

I’ll go nutella, then, simply because she has more votes besides Mac, and because Mac votes are apparently last minute, which, as you’ve said, is usually a mafia move.

Sorry, y’all - it’s been such a long time since I last played that I’m not used to checking or thinking about checking the thread.

Oh my god, I just saw the host option - I’m down for getting Michael McDonald. Ewwwww

that's fine, but goodness, it stresses me out. I have been involved all day back and forth reading and staying caught up. what is the point of even being here throughout the day. I might as well just come in the last hour and read 10 posts and vote. it makes the whole day a pointless waste of my time. I hate mafia these days.

dunya wrote: ↑Tue Apr 23, 2019 4:44 pm everyone should vote for whoever THEY feel is the best lynch, not because someone told them to vote for someone. please make sure you're happy with where your vote is. if everyone played that way, there'd be more satisfactory lynches.

linki: what? did you even play on rym? we always had fakeclaims. i gave fake claims in Gossip Girl, even.

I was going to post something about this. I didn’t change my vote because someone asked me to, not sure about others, but I have a list of question marks about more players than I expected. A lot of shit questions. My only thing about Mac was that he posted differently in GG, where he was town. Some questions about others are even weaker. I want my vote somewhere where it isn’t wasted but I wish I felt surer about anyone than I do about everyone. Will post my list tonight.

Everything leads to this point. There is purpose in all of it.

I'm pretty cool with any of these lynches and don't feel like going over them in detail right now

I don't agree. I feel like I wasted my day staying caught up.

Jay is right eloh. The Mac lynch didn't spring up suddenly at the end. It's been in the works for at least a few hours.

Which number should we spin first?

Neat. Let's rally around that result and allow the nerves to settle a bit, eh?

another reason you can't do this crap, JJJ, is b/c of time zones. it is very disrespectful to those across the pond. Mac may be bad, and if so....good for those voters, praise be. But if not, that poor man had no way to defend himself b/c the thread decided to change things up on him while he was asleep. this is why we have 24 hours to discuss, so that everyone can be involved WHEN THEY ARE AWAKE. Voting someone while they are asleep and not giving them time to rebuttle is horrible.

linki...okay, he was mafia. my point still stands.

JJJ, GREAT job casing!!

I can't help where people live. I will pursue a lynch of my top suspect. Expecting anything else of me is way less fair than lynching someone who isn't here at the deadline.

I do not apologize for that.

Team effort. Props to the voters.

Now find the busser.

can you tell I am angry? Mafia makes me so angry these days. I hate the way it is played. I am so angry, I don't even care we got a mafia on day 1. y'all upset me. I am going to cool off.
linki - busser = jay according to daisy

I knew it was Mac all along. I was just testing ya’ll.

Alriiiight nice.

Seriously, I am sorry that my methods bother you so much. Really, I wish I could be less abrasive/persistent/ruthless and still have any success or even fun as a player. You're not the only one that feels that way.

I recognize that the advent of this play coincides quite a lot with my time on the site. Obviously I am not the only engine behind it, but I am a big one. I don't really know what to do about it, because if I play your way there's a good chance I will be the one hating Mafia.

Someday I will get lynched when I am not around.

I haven't read most of the discussion but I probably agree with Eloh's point about EoDs.

Maybe doing most of the gameplay in the last hour is an effective way at catching mafia. It still makes the game less fun.

I'm saying as someone who considered quitting mafia in this site after the last game because I'm now having college classes during the time most EoDs happen. Which, based on Syndicate meta, would make me unable to play anymore.

Just move to different timezones.

Only about 10% of this thread is anything "EOD".

What are we doing here? Are we playing a game or having a casual chat?

I meant that question in the biggest sense. What is the purpose of this game thread, and why are we in it?

It's rhetorical.

Also it didn't all happen in the last hour. This d1 has had a fairly average progression from my point of view. Like it sucks for Mac that he wasn't around but that's just how the game goes.

My problem is that most people seem to avoid the game thread until the last two hours, when they start playing and posting and voting. People don't even take wagons seriously until they start considering their votes in those last two hours.

I'm not sure if that has happened in this game but it has happened quite often in past ones.

And yes, it is an invitation for people who can't be online at EoD not to play games. I'm trying to figure out if there is a correlation between that and the fact his site has difficulty getting new users.

Elo, I am the only one who voted Mac against my gut because of Jay. Many of these votes moved as a natural result of Juliets claim. There was not some big CFD that occurred out of nowhere. This was just normal game play. I’ve been feeling pretty uncertain all day long with my reads flipping all over the place. You can’t honestly expect that people won’t sometimes change their minds or do unexpected things close to EOD sometimes.
