Re: Retrocausality Mafia - Day 2: Sig puts his John Hancock down
And it's time to get over not liking his claim. It's a terrible claim that I don't think is the full truth. Does it make him bad? I can't see any evidence whatsoever that he does. He's clearly mason with Kyle; he clearly told Kyle this was his win con from the very beginning. There is nothing about this situation that I find in the least bit bothersome because he has been fully consistent at all times.
I do not think that sig and TH are teammates. I don't think two baddies have things that can just make them vanish for 'nefarious reasons' when there is probably about 3 or 4 baddies tops and they lose if they're all vanished at once.
To me TH is a bad candidate for a lynch... but he's also a bad candidate for giving any items to.

Re: Retrocausality Mafia - Day 2: Sig puts his John Hancock down
Perhaps this is misunderstanding. We are currently voting for who to lynch. I assumed he meant that statement in a dejected joke way. He is winning the current "election" for who we will lynch. I would never actually vote to give anything to TH during a night poll.

Re: Retrocausality Mafia - Day 2: Sig puts his John Hancock down
In this we disagree Golden. I do not trust TH. I have exactly zero reasons to think he might be a lying scum. I have more reason in fact to distrust this claim imo. I don't like luna either but I would rather lynch her tomorrow because she hasn't made a claim about how long she needs to live or what she is trying to achieve. Also of note, someone pounced on sig knowing about being elected before N1 started and an election took place. Was this another common knowledge thing that I missed? I think I am leaving my vote where it is.

Re: Retrocausality Mafia - Day 0: It's 'TIME' to get started
I'm not attacking you I just want to make sure we're not making the same mistakes that made us lose in that game. I'm not saying don't make assumptions i just want to make sure they're being made with care. I didn't read the part where inh definitively announced that he was a civ. if that happened then it's reasonable enough to assume that sig was badGolden wrote: ↑Wed Jun 20, 2018 5:37 pmINH hasn't claimed indy - he's expressly said that he isn't, and honestly I never bought there was any chance it was a deliberate claim. There's a chance he slipped indy, but he's claimed town, and town is what I believe him to be.
I suspect sig because all of his behaviour around Quin's claim looked like a member of the mafia.
Don't attack me for assumptions unless you are willing to have a counterproposal to making assumptions, because it's not like you are presenting any ideas to replace 'assuming sig is mafia' with anything better right now.
if it seemed like i was attacking you then I apologise, that was never my intent, just due diligence

Re: Retrocausality Mafia - Day 2: Sig puts his John Hancock down
I will campaign to not see TH lynched today if need be. But I didn't really realise there was any threat of that, because I can't imagine any good reason to lynch him. All the facts suggest he is not mafia, to me. I have no interest in lynching an indy when the player numbers are so small and the indy is claiming he'll vanish anyway. This one I definitely would see as a waste of a lynch.
Why would you not let it play out and see if he is being honest? Like - if we lynch TH and prevent him winning by one day and go on to lose because we've wasted a lynch on this, I will riot.
There is absolutely nothing about TH's behaviour in the entire game that suggests any kind of agenda.

Re: Retrocausality Mafia - Day 2: Sig puts his John Hancock down
Because there is never any suggestion of his agenda in his play, like ever. And you assume that hey we can just wait and see whether or not he disappears. but what if he is lying about what happens? Consider what the options might be if he achieves his objective? We may have a more powerful or more difficult to kill baddie. I am always wary of giving people want they want from us without knowing for sure they are civ. See my arguments in U-Pick again lynching or killing people asking for it.Golden wrote: ↑Wed Jun 20, 2018 5:52 pm I will campaign to not see TH lynched today if need be.

I have an issue lynching or killing someone who is asking not to be. Like, if we needed to lynch TH within the first two days to prevent him becoming all-powerful, there's an issue there.

Also, I'm not saying he doesn't need to do what he says. I am disputing whether or not I believe what he is claiming will be the outcome.

Re: Retrocausality Mafia - Day 2: Sig puts his John Hancock down
I would also like to survive the next day and night. I have a specific reason why I'd like to. I know I'm town, I asked for the doctor to protect me overnight in the hopes they would help me. Is this an agenda that you're worried about?

Re: Retrocausality Mafia - Day 2: Sig puts his John Hancock down
But why does someone who is becoming more powerful just by basically surviving a couple of days, tell everyone about it when they will easily survive a couple of days if they don't?Spacedaisy wrote: ↑Wed Jun 20, 2018 5:57 pm Also, I'm not saying he doesn't need to do what he says.

Re: Retrocausality Mafia - Day 2: Sig puts his John Hancock down
That was phrased unclearly. I mean, what I am disputing is whether or not he could be lying about the outcome.
You aren't saying that you are 3P and will just disappear. I find his particular claim very unbelievable coupled with the face I don't like just giving people what they want. Also, I already feel fairly confident in your civ alignment.

Re: Retrocausality Mafia - Day 2: Sig puts his John Hancock down
I tell you, the idea that TH has some big agenda we don't know about and is going to turn into a really bad baddie if we don't lynch him now - it doesn't hold up to logic. It makes no sense. It's completely different to sig's situation...
TH isn't even really fighting the suspicion against him. Compare that to sig's scrambling.
The suspicion against TH is because something is 'weird'. It's not because of TH - nothing he is doing makes him look bad.

okay like..... alternatively what if we just wait and also don't let him get his election predictions
would that be an acceptable compromise or would that just be the worst of both worlds

You're an indy. You get more powerful by predicting two elections right. Do you tell everyone you're an indy who just needs to get two predictions right to win, or do you stay silent and just get two predictions right?
Like, in the scenario you are worried about, what's TH's motive for sharing what he's shared?

Yeah, but he pretty much walked it back under pressure and in the end I think 'unlynchable' was simply code for 'can trigger an event where he vanishes and restarts the day'.

Fine. You all win, I'll do what you want. Against my own feelings on this. [VOTE:
lunalee] aubergine
You have someone who has claimed openly to not be civ aligned, and you want to believe them and possibly allow them the space to do what they want. We'll see how this goes. I hope you all are right.

Re: Retrocausality Mafia - Day 2: Sig puts his John Hancock down
I see what golden is seeing in lunalee, if sig was mafia then luna makes sense as a teammate
I don't agree with her meta defense, if she were teammates with sig then she would still have to respond to the sig quin inh thing in some way, it was the main topic of conversation for a big chunk of time. avoiding discussing it completely would be weird.
im also realizing i skipped reading like 6 or 7 pages of content at some point whoops
