All night

Explain, please, how we got paid. I only got paid once, apparently.

I talked about it earlier, I split last night's winnings between me and Colin so we could buy two big items.

What items were they, what do they do, and do we have them?

It's kind of in flux, I'm assuming Colin got it but he hasn't checked in yet. It will let us automatically complete this mission.

I also bought the NK protect

If he does not have it, then I can assume someone else does, correct?

Yeah cuz it disappeared from the shop

You must really trust Colin.

I'm trying to work quickly because there are a couple of cheap, albeit unfashionable items available now that could help us.

If he doesn't have the Hydraulic Clamps then he's got a shitload of cash we can spend. I gave him the money in good faith and I don't see why he would renege on that

And yeah I feel pretty good about Colin tbh. Everyone here seems genuine to me.

All right. Just pointing out there's some nifty clothes from Goodwill that have jacked up prices if we need them.

Welp I hope we got the clamps cause I ain't no diplomat

Turnip Head wrote: ↑Wed Aug 15, 2018 11:05 pm Colin didjya get that doohickey for us?

No, somebody else bought it by the time I tried. What do you want instead?

I’ll see if there’s something with high diplomacy buffs.

Or should I wait and see if something better gets stocked? Aaaaaaaaa

There are only +1 diplomacy buffs in here. What are everybody’s stats?

Golden is bonkers if he thinks the people on his crew don't look like shit. Dude is probably bad and hiding behind this Glorf nonsense

I have +3 attack so if I get a diplomacy item that would put us at +1.

I have worst vibes of the starred ones. dFaraday is playing a very stiff game and I can see him as bussing Sokoth. If anybody on our crew is bad, I'm sorry but it's probably Nova or Nutella but I don't think you are right now. I suggest putting Epignosis on the poll because he's very unlikely to get lynched, but do what you think is best.

I think we have 0 diplomacy atm which means even if we roll a 6 we lose? Lol is that how it works?

If none of us as a crew have any, is there a point to me buying anything then? I know someone will die, but ...

Also I'm Zoe Washburne so yeah we're fucked

Fuck

I'm sorry I didn't buy the clamps in time guys.

I'm reasonably sure speedchuck is playing his bad game here. He's stiff and content to vote whichever way the wind blows.

Everybody give legacy reads in case you're the one that gets chopped.

I just lead a bad lynch result, and your suggestion is to put me on the poll even though you think I'm good and suggest that nutella and nova are bad?

People do realize that in Mafia, the purpose of lynches are to eliminate bad guys, not protect good guys, right?

All of this is likely moot, since we'll all be dancing tomorrow anyway.

My list is similar. Major difference is I think Golden is almost certainly bad. He's basically trying to play me exactly like he did in Courage where he's hellbent on reading me one way, and one way only. He's just not attacking me in a way that feels civ and I don't know how else to explain it He knows I'm not gonna beat him in a wordfight so he just keeps slinging mud.

Speedchuck is prolly my next biggest read, it feels like he's playing too carefully.

DF is blendy as always, if he's on the poll we could try to get momentum going that way but it won't likely lead to a lot of discussion since he's been quiet.

DDL I keep going back and forth on. Sometimes he looks super slimy but then he'll say something that makes rational sense and I'm just like okay who are you. I think he's just outspoken.

Enrique feels like low key mafia, his energy seems a lil off but I haven't played with him in a couple years.

I'm fairly neutral on both inh and Luna

well this sucks. I'm growing paranoid that TH and Colin have played us.

What's the reason for suspecting me? I keep seeing people lazily toss off that I'm probably bad, that they don't like me vaguely, but never once has it been substantiated that I can recall.

TH trusted you to get us an item. You didn't get it and screwed us over. You could be teammates

Or you could be bad without TH, but it's odd that he chose you

Yeah ... except it opens me up to possibly dying as much as it does you. In a world where the scumteam is down one person, I'm not playing around and sticking myself out there just so you guys can be on the lynch poll.

I wasn't expecting to get the money either, but if there's a transfer mechanism, I'll gladly give it to someone else.

I chose Colin because I thought he was least likely to get NKed. That was my call as captain.

You didn't know that someone would die until after you failed to get the item though

damn too bad we fired sig, would have been nice if he was in the pool to die but we all have higher probability now

I would also be on the lynch poll with you in this scenario.

ok, and...?

Being on the lynch poll

In fact, probably moreso, because there's this narrative that I'm always looking scummy no matter what, but idgaf about that.

ugh tru. Our luck did a complete 180 in the past day or so

I fired sig thinking we could get somebody to jump ship to us but nobody went for it

Turnip Head wrote: ↑Thu Aug 16, 2018 11:34 am I fired sig thinking we could get somebody to jump ship to us but nobody went for it

Are there no more free agents?

No, Mac got scooped up by DH as soon as he subbed back in. I would have liked to have him :-/

DF is still a free agent I think but meh

I at least believe Colin is telling the truth about getting scooped on the item. If I'm mafia, my priority is staying off the lynch poll as much as possible. Colin's failure doesn't help him achieve that. That isn't to say it makes me think Colin is good- I just believe he was truly scooped. The only alternative is that he did buy the item and is holding out on us for some unfathomable reason.
