I've seen him say in more than a couple games blatantly that he's rooting for the mafia regardless of alignment, for example.

But I've also seen him actually participate in the game a couple of times (early in his mafia career) as a somewhat active civilian willing to voice his opinions, even if they did occasionally still have the bizarre Vomps-reactionary flavor to them.

So I really have no idea what to expect from him here other than likely zaniness.

To all our new players:

The best way to describe Vompatti is that he's the most Dadaist/avant-garde mafia player you could imagine. I can't think of any other way to describe it.

I think the guy's extremely hard to read, and he's been lynched a ton as a civvie because of this. Of course, he's also been lynched as a baddie for sometimes the same reasons as when he's a civ.

I'm starting to wonder the same, especially if Elo flips civilian.

Next year we'll send him in the Champions game.

I swear, if I'm wrong about Elo again, I may just start forcing myself to always think the opposite read of how I'm reading her. I'm really hoping here.

Night 2: Population Control

"So," the economists said in unison. "You want to keep the population down, do you, Malthus? Well, welcome to You Town. Population: zero!"

Serves him right for having terrible theories.

Elohcin has been lynched. She was Thomas Malthus.
You have 24 hours to send in role PMs.

this is simultaneously exciting and worrying. On the one hand I look forward to seeing what y'all mean when you describe him first hand. On the other hand, by this description i'm basically just crossing my fingers that he's town.

SON OF A.....

I saw I had about 30 seconds left (I thought), went to click on the bubble next to Bass' name, and then went to vote....and it wouldn't accept my vote because it was past the deadline.

Oh well.

But yeah, if I could have voted, I would have voted for Bass probably. DDL would be a close second for his pressing Elo on her Golden vote, and DDL's voicing suspicion of her, but then going with an aether vote which seemed like an easy cop-out to me.

Might as well finish catching up for now.

Linki: If Elo flips civ, I think DDL is definitely getting a closer look from me. The only person I remember having anything resembling a substantial case on her is MP. I feel like there was one more player but I can't remember right now who it is.

That, and I think it's more likely Elo comes up civ because of all the weak reasons IMO I saw for voting for her. Seemed like an easy target unfortunately.

Linki: Holy shit did NOT expect that at ALL!

Oops wrong color wtf

Posted: **Sun May 24, 2015 6:05 pm**

I am seriously so happy right now. Not a mafia, but god damn does that rock.

Thanks for playing, Elo. Hope to play with you again soon. I promise I won't yell at you next time. :P

Yeah. I loled at that one too.

Alright, so for everyone who was bouncing around theories of Elo and Epig being connected, how do you feel about Epig now? Because I'd be more likely to lean civ on him.

Also, BIH Elo!

Sad to see you go but not your role!

You seem to be implying that you think there's scum hiding out here. Which of us (I assume I'm being counter amomg the super posters, i dunno if that's accurate) would it most likely be? Least likely? and why do you feel this way?

How does this fit into your newfound gut pings on DDL?

Posted: **Sun May 24, 2015 6:06 pm**

I still really think Epi was mafia, BWT. Elo was more so connected to Epi in my mind, but Epi's actions stood alone as intentionally manipulative.

Posted: **Sun May 24, 2015 6:07 pm**

Can we play the game now, Jay?

Posted: **Sun May 24, 2015 6:07 pm**

Notice:

anyone who was just deliberating how other players will look in the event of a townie Elohcin flip... those concerns are still valid. this lynch should be treated as the lynch of a townie from an analytic standpoint as we pursue mafia.

Dragon, fingersplints, Turnip Head, vomp, and Roxy all voted for someone other than Eloh. I am making nothing of this yet, just pointing out that it's a reality and something which may be worth pursuing later.
The people who voted for Eloh are in no way abovd suspicion for doing so, of course.

Could it get any objectively more scummy than this?
i think you are being manipulative with this, the problem for me isnt that she focused on you but that she had golden as a civilian read and without building a case she flipped and voted for him

at this point i think as scum team of elo + mp07 is more likely than elo + epi, if elo and epi were scum teams their voting would have been very clumsy. in any case i think everyone should focus on getting 1 scum and work their way back instead of trying to catch the whole scum team at once.
Another interesting observation that I'd not really considered. How common is it for scum partners to outright bus each other from Day 1 over here?
Depends on the player. Some will go after teammates left and right and some are completely adamant about throwing teammates under the bus unless absolutely necessary. For Day 1 though, I would consider that to be quite uncommon. I can't remember a time that's happened that springs to mind. But if I'm wrong, someone feel free to correct me.
I've thrown a teammate under on Day 1.
WWE anyone?

Herpa de derp. I should have remembered that one.

I also think that her team would be more likely to have distanced from her since she was so obviously going down.
