Re: Arkham Mafia [Day 0]
Golden you're using inmates for the wrong faction and it makes your post completely unreadable.
I don't think the first 6 to go will be mafia but I will earn my win, not just leave it to luck! Why don't you understand that?

Re: Arkham Mafia [Day 0]
They come in when SVS said they have an 8 connection. Both SVS and Golden frequently use Lost numbers for various reasons. You seemed to misconstrue this. It wasn't just a flyby mention of the number 8. The word connection was used. I don't think you missed that.Enrique wrote:I find this post completely ridiculous, seriously. Why should I associate every instance of a single digit number with Lost? I know what the numbers are, but where do they come in here? What is there for you to buy?Dom wrote:I don't buy for one second you didn't recognize 8.
Does that make you bad? Not sure.
Does it make me want to look more closely at your intentions? Yes.
I think we're playing a giant game of semantics.Enrique wrote:This post, juliets. It can be interpreted as "we don't need ALL independents [correction: baddies] dead," but look at that last bit. This is literally the first thing I noticed when I got my role card. That's not how it works. All but three civvie roles NEED to kill indies to even win the game. No matter if they can win with the other nine, the fact is that civvies can't win without indie hunting, and he even proposes just hunting the baddies and leaving the rest to luck. What kind of role card even suggests that? Well, there are three civvie options. And fifteen baddie ones.Golden wrote:They do? It doesn't look to me like ANY civilians need the independents dead, to me. Whereas the town definitely needs the crime families dead.Enrique wrote:Independents whom most civvies need dead to winGolden wrote:@Hosts - what happens if both crime families try to buy off the same cop?
Bass's idea sounds sensible enough, but I'd also point out that everyone from the Asylum appears to be independent. So, it might not help us find the crime families (who seem more analagous to mafia).
But a lot of those independents don't seem exactly friendly.
This is literally the first think I noticed when I got my role card, so![]()
right back at you.
The cops do need the Fugitives dead to win. Yes.
They are not, however, the mafia. I don't think either one of you are advocating for the position the other is accusing each other of having.
I don't think people are dismissing the inmates at all. I think you read it that way and are now freaking out.Enrique wrote:Okay, look. Killing the mafias isn't enough for nearly all the civvies. It is ABSOLUTELY something that we need to pursue, but there's a lot more to the game, and nobody should dismiss the inmates that easily. S~V~S, we can't lynch the mafia and then the inmates, because when the mafia dies the game ENDS. There are three civvies and ten inmates who can possibly win this way. Just think about that.
That is what I've been trying to say and honestly I don't think it's that complicated.
WTFEnrique wrote:Could we discuss Dom's ridiculous spin for a bit? Regardless of whatever Golden meant in that post, and I'm serious, completely disregarding it. Did anybody read that post and think "oh haha they're talking about the Lost numbers!"? S~V~S confirmed that was the case, and if you did think of that then power to you, but that's not how my brain works. Why then would Dom use that against me? It makes zero sense and it just comes off as an opportunistic attempt to get the ball rolling against me.
Dom, you're free to disagree with any of my views, but seriously, dude? Should I look into every usage of a Lost number in this forum and call out people who don't recognize them? I don't understand. I guess my original point was more along the lines of "cops might use numbers to hint at their roles to recruiters," and there's a very small chance that's gonna happen anymore, but don't tell me it wasn't relevant to the conversation then.
TH, that sig then looks pretty normal to me. "Don't lynch me now, at least let me play a bit." I dunno why he didn't respond but it doesn't say anything to me either.
@linki: but what useful info can we get on the scum? This contradicts your whole attitude re: indies before.
@linki2: again, I'm not focusing specifically on the inmates, but exclusive mafia hunting is a terrible idea for anyone who isn't bad.
I questioned your motives and now I'm opportunistically trying to lynch you?
Nope.

Re: Arkham Mafia [Day 0]
Like I said I think Enri and Golden have different views on how to achieve similar outcomes. The fact that I don't understand Enrique's suspicion of Golden doesn't make me suspect him, it just makes me think he's wrong.

Re: Arkham Mafia [Day 0]
I've understood your perspective fine all along. Except the bit where it's logical to see me as bad... and that I cannot rationalise. And it's THAT that I think makes YOU look bad... not the fact that you want to chase independents, which is logical enough (although also just as in the interests of the baddies). It's why you would think I'm bad because I point out that mafia are the bigger threat? That makes no sense to me.Enrique wrote:Well I kinda butchered those quotes, but at the same time they're legible. I'm being completely transparent. That's what I think, and you're just refusing to understand it.
linki @ enri - well, I think everyone should try and earn it... but lets say you were a cop, how do you find the right inmate?

Re: Arkham Mafia [Day 0]
This was kinda why I brought up that point about the Champs game; it's better for civs to lynch either baddies or indies rather than each other.
I have not seen enough yet to think for sure Enri v. Golden is civ/civ, but neither have I seen anywhere near enough to think either is bad. Disagreement =/= baddieness.

I have a plan for the very few games I can sign up for in the coming months. Arkham was not on that plan. I just started a new role at work, and have heaps of other stuff going on in real life, so I need to be very careful with my time.

I was beginning to feel better about you, but this doesnt help. If you are being transparent about your perspective, I really want to understand this.Enrique wrote:@linki: not by sitting back and ending the game prematurely!!!
For instance, what if you are a cop, and your independent is NKed night one, and you don't know about it? How do you earn it from there?
For me, earning this win is about catching the baddies. Catching the baddies isn't 'ending the game prematurely'.
But I will say... as alluded to at the start of this post. I am feeling a bit better about you. But I don't like these offhanded responses. Transparency needs detail about your thought processes. Why do you think pursuing 'independents' will help you find yours, if you were a cop?

That conversation was happening without me. "Is Golden a cop hoping to be recruited?" I said, NO, I don't believe he is. Plus, you can't posture yourself to be recruited. But then I thought, how can you do that? By giving away your number. I went back and I found that. I didn't think it was the case myself, but I was trying to add to the conversation.

Re: Arkham Mafia [Day 0]
From my perspective, Enrique and Golden are arguing about semantics and I cannot discern any alignment-indicative behavior from them. I find myself agreeing with Turnip Head on this one.
Now, with that said, I will admit that my first slight civilian read is Dom. He questioned Enrique, pursued it, and GTH I evaluate his behavior to be one in which he is developing those thoughts organically. But I'm systematically incorrect about Dom, so this means you all should probably find him a slight mafia read. :P

Re: Arkham Mafia [Day 0]
Pretty sure that Enrique is acting full-on paranoid; I've been there many times myself in many games, and it's what historically gets me suspicion early on in games. He's already got himself flustered in a fight with Golden, he feels the spotlight is on him as a result, it's still super early in the game so hardly anyone else is being questioned, so Dom questioning his motives over something that he feels he couldn't possibly have discerned originally (the number 8 being a LOST reference) makes him feel like the votes will just start flooding in against him after Dom continues to push his lynch. It's classic overparanoia.
Alignment indicative? Not for me. I've felt this as everyone alignment, personally, and Day 1 is historically the most tension-filled aspect of the game for me -- very exciting until I start to receive negative attention, and then it can spiral into what feels like an uphill battle for survival. I'm consciously trying to avoid this condition going forward, but felt I should comment on this because Enrique is exhibiting this to a T.
That's just my interpretation, anyway, feel free to disagree with it or point out to me why you think I might be wrong, anyone.

I agree that Enrique's paranoia isn't alignment-indicative, but it's not his paranoia that bothers me.

I think I've laid it out before. You call them indies, I call them baddies. They're a little more than non-friends, they're enemies. I don't want the game to end when I can't win, and I'm sure most of the town will agree. I have never opposed scum hunt, that's just silly, but so is opposing the so-called indie hunt.

It's ending prematurely if I'm not winning. It's not just me, it's the majority of the town. We play to win, not to get two teams.

He's already got himself flustered in a fight with Golden, he feels the spotlight is on him as a result, it's still super early in the game so hardly anyone else is being questioned, so Dom questioning his motives over something that he feels he couldn't possibly have discerned originally (the number 8 being a LOST reference) makes him feel like the votes will just start flooding in against him after Dom continues to push his lynch.

That's just my interpretation, anyway, feel free to disagree with it or point out to me why you think I might be wrong, anyone.

Re: Arkham Mafia [Day 0]
I think it's fair of Enrique to say you accused him, Dom. You essentially accused him of lying by not being genuine about the number thing. Maybe your intention was to simply question him on it rather than accuse him or build a case, but I can see how he perceived it as an accusation. I don't think it speaks badly of either of you, though.

Re: Arkham Mafia [Day 0]
I don't personally feel that way, but I know I've jumped to that irrational feeling many times before when someone suspects me early in the game, particularly if I'm posting as much as or more than almost everyone else and there's not any other major events occurring.Dom wrote:MP, do you think if I pushed for Enrique's lynch votes would flood in for him?MovingPictures07 wrote:Pretty sure that Enrique is acting full-on paranoid; I've been there many times myself in many games, and it's what historically gets me suspicion early on in games.

I don't want the game to end when I can't win, and I'm sure most of the town will agree. I have never opposed scum hunt, that's just silly, but so is opposing the so-called indie hunt.

If you are being transparent about your perspective, I really want to understand this.Enrique wrote:@linki: not by sitting back and ending the game prematurely!!!
For instance, what if you are a cop, and your independent is NKed night one, and you don't know about it? How do you earn it from there?
For me, earning this win is about catching the baddies. Catching the baddies isn't 'ending the game prematurely'.
But I will say... as alluded to at the start of this post. I am feeling a bit better about you. But I don't like these offhanded responses. Transparency needs detail about your thought processes. Why do you think pursuing 'independents' will help you find yours, if you were a cop?
It's ending prematurely if I'm not winning. It's not just me, it's the majority of the town. We play to win, not to get two teams.
@linki: okay you know what i dont get it either. you're not buying it, you don't think i'm genuine. why? what do you think i was doing and what for?
linki2: no i dont even feel that way, thats the thing. im trying to make a point, it has nothing to do with me
I wasn't accusing you. I was making an observation. Holy shit you are overreacting.
I can potentially get that, but I don't like that you are framing it this way and he isn't.

I agree with Enrique. I don't think any of the cops are going to want the game to end if there win condition isn't met.

Re: Arkham Mafia [Day 0]
It's what he has focused on the most. The things that he has emphasized and advocated throughout the day. It reeks of ulterior motives to me. Now they could be civ-serving ulterior motives but regardless I think he's worth keeping an eye on just in case they are not so civ-serving. I don't have a strong read on anyone yet.MovingPictures07 wrote:Elaborate if you don't mind.a2thezebra wrote:I agree that Enrique's paranoia isn't alignment-indicative, but it's not his paranoia that bothers me.

Zeebs - Strong or not, can you give me your current read of each of the Arkham voters? Considering the votes for Arkham are "downright alarming", just wondering.

Re: Arkham Mafia [Day 0]
Agh, it's too early in the morning for me to think straight, but this is what I'm assuming at the moment.
Since there's seven people on Arkham, I feel led to assume that they're the villains who gain some sort of handicap if they start there (with the secret abilities for Joker, Bane and The Riddler, I don't feel this is too far fetched).Along with that, perhaps the four votes on the Police Department accumulates a bonus for the Gotham Police.
The other theory is that, as others have already said, they're scenarios for each location.
I'm going to hold off my vote for a while until I make up my mind.
Anyway, good to be back playing Mafia, I took a break with stuff going on.

So you are either refusing to give your reads or your "downright alarming" post was BS.
Which one?
