It's completely obvious in the thread exactly how I felt at each stage of MM's case. I do not have to spell out which part of the case I had the read in 10 times. I've made it abundantly clear. A desire to trip me up in semantics does nothing for you.

Go after me hard and lynch me today and you will be looking real bad tomorrow.

I don't think it's obvious at all.

You were ready to dismiss the case here, but you currently say that you were actually using that post to give me a chance to improve my case. However...

MovingPictures07 saw it as the case was flawed and you were right.

zebra also quickly sided with your point, and even disagreed with my follow up here, but that's a different issue.


So considering how the two people who bothered to respond to your statement did not see the intent you had, I still think your claim that it was intentional is bollocks.

I've never claimed it was intentional. When I said 'I prompted you to do so', I did not have any implication that 'I intended to prompt you to do so' - merely that it is factual that it did prompt you to do so.

Any assertion that I ever claimed that was my intent is false, and has been read in to what I said. You won't find me saying it anywhere. My intent was entirely, and solely, to point out that your case was flawed.

for a very small fee. Super tiny you won't even notice it I'm sure. :P

We aren't lynching Golden or Zebra they are both town.

I'm curious about the Sloonie/Matt? case. BUT would still like to lynch MM. :P

No it isn't. I said exactly what I meant to say. She is the one who said 'you've said outright my lynch would be a mislynch', which I did not say.

What I did say, was that I'd sooner mislynch her than be lynched myself. IE - if she does nothing but tunnel on me, ends up lynched, and comes back town, I won't be losing sleep over it.

If I'd said 'I'd sooner lynch her than be lynched myself', that would be basically meaningless. I fully intended to mean what I said.

weeee all caught up about to finish my dinner, and watching the great food truck race. Posts will be coming in shortly.

How were you to know it would be wasted? Maybe if you had shown more confidence in your read and got the ball rolling with a vote on me, people would have followed. Frog had only one vote when I placed my vote, same as the situation would have been with you. You didn't choose to do that, despite how very eager you were to get people to pay attention to your read on me and start a counterwagon. This lack of spine, jumping on me so quickly with vague reasoning and hypocrisy(not liking CFD's but wanting to get one started on me) is why I'm voting you. If you had had the courage of your conviction, I'd be less inclined to think you're mafia.

Maybe they would've maybe they wouldn't have. I was more confident on MM and I didn't want to unbalance the wagons when every vote counted. I think your just No Uing me and are mad I tried to lynch you, and I didn't even try that hard.

Tell them this on downton they don't believe me. :P
But seriously, this is what I've been saying and I really dislike MM for pushing that Ika must be civ.

Also, welcome Matt!

@MM - I dunno - maybe it has something to do with the poll? Do you think?

Also, responses like this just give me the shivers. An "Oh, of course I meant to do that " instead of an "Aye, good call there, I was wrong".

I wasn't wrong at all, MM. Your case on sloonei was shit, because you hadn't demonstrated any context. I don't have to do your research for you.

Bullshit.

If the case was shit, why did you concede that Sloonei was on your list of "players to lynch" as a result of the case?

Because you then added to the case, after I prompted you to do so. You were quite content to make a flawed case to begin with.

Having said that, then when you DID do the extra work, I was surprised to discover your case actually had merit. Doesn't change the fact that I do not agree that your initial case had merit. It was half-assed and flawed, and looked to me like a case that you were portraying just to get yourself off the bottom.

I don't know why you'd expect me to say "I was wrong" for forcing you to build a fuller case. I was quite satisfied with my work.

See Golden, I'm sorry if I'm wrong but this whole post just seems so fake. You only vocalized the distinction between the initial case and the "extra work" after MM called you out on contradicting yourself. If he hadn't have called you out, would that distinction ever have been made?

Thats bollocks. You were there at the time - you AGREED with me that MM's initial case was flawed. Remember this?

Golden wrote:What MM fails to account for in his case on sloonei is the extent to which sloonei already town read or trusted ika vs frog. If I came on asking people who I should vote for and a person I didn't have any reason to trust gave me one answer and a person I'm reading as town gave me another, I know I'd dismiss one and focus on the other.

This also sums up my thoughts on that particular part of MM's case on Sloonei quite nicely.

The only reason I'm having to vocalize the distinction is because MM is acting as though it isn't there. Based on simply reading the thread, it's quite obvious that it was there all along. Why would I need to vocalise it before MM implied that I had agreed with his case all along?

Just go back and read the passage of the thread - I called him on his flaw in the initial case, he did more work, and THEN after he did it I agreed with his case. The two cannot be conflated, and I shouldn't have to point out the truth of it for it to be evidently true.

bollocks? Speak American Golden! Not your savage European tongue. :P

On a more serious note I agree however, I'd rather lynch MM then Sloonie/Matt. However, we still have over a day left so plenty of time for Matt to get acclimated to the thread, if I don't like his play I'd be more willing to lynch him. Though I had a better read on Sloonie then you, by the end of day 1. The beginning I was off about him, but think that might have just been a NO U /poor gut read.

Baddie team... MP, Zexy, Sloonei, and Golden!

@Golden, Dislexicocoa is right. A frame only works if someone other than the recipient brings it up. It's an argument more than a statement - ish scenario. The other problem is the implication of you being civilian and that doesn't sit right. Without us knowing your identity, that hunch of yours was nothing more than fluff with a slight hint of "hey guys I'm civ".

Almost to my compuuuuutor.

Golden, I know you had Long Con as a slight town read and Sloonei as a moderate scum read. Is that the only reason you reacted to these two substitutions differently.

JaggedJimmyJay wrote:Notice: Epignosis is replacing Long Con.

I am aware of the situation with Soneji and it is being worked out. I would advise players against speculating about his potential replacement or non-replacement.

The deadline for Day 1 is in 3 hours and 47 minutes at precisely 10:00 PM Eastern US/Canada time. The hammer vote is the 9th.

Wilgy - I don't expect anyone to 'know' my hunch is correct. Thinking about it in the sense of what 'works' is silly. I'm just telling you what I think happened. Either it did or it didn't. I was looking for an early push against me, and it came. I could have sat on my hunch for ages, and waited until someone said 'also, I bet you would have killed silverwolf, she was after you', or whatever. Yes, I could have. But, I shouldn't need to wait to see what I think could be coming before I say 'this is what I think the intent was'.

If I say it afterwards, I can just as easily be discounted with an 'oh, well you would say that NOW, why didn't you say it before?' - both ways are equally flawed.

Metalmarsh89 wrote:Golden, I know you had Long Con as a slight town read and Sloonei as a moderate scum read. Is that the only reason you reacted to these two substitutions differently.

Yes. Or, possibly more accurately, I reacted to the Epi substitution in fun, but then wanted to make clear it was in fun, whereas the reaction to the Matt substitution is not actually a reaction to the substitution. My vote was heading back to Sloonei even if Matt hadn't subbed in. My vote for zebra really was only an effort to snap her out of her tunnelling.

I'm not European anyway. Technically.

I'd feel most comfortable if I understood your current read on me, and why.

I lied. I did say bollocks, but it was after Golden did.

But zebra did accuse me of a bollocks vote early in Day 1, so there's that.

Do you think that my thought process is flawed or are you tunneling me because you wanted to lynch me yesterday?

If there is something wrong with either of the things you mentioned above, can you please explain why?

I'm tunneling on you since I wanted to lynch you yesterday and my opinion of you hasn't changed. WHat do you think of Sloonie/Matt? And golden wanting to lynch them.

I'll review you over later (I'm starting to sound like GRRM and his book deadlines) and see what I see :P

linki: Wow MM chill.

Ik Golden, why sweet as bro? Is that a NZ thing or supposed to be an american thing. Since that sounds like West coast lingo and that is even worse then European! Philly slang or no slang at all.

I was actually thinking that you and Sloonei were on a team together, which is why you didn't vote for him yesterday, but did today. You had time to discuss things overnight, and plan out a bus attempt today.

But with Matt replacing in, that makes the tin-foil moot. Sloonei wouldn't replace out if he was planning on being bussed. That doesn't fit. I still find Sloonei suspicious and would like to hear from Matt sooner than later. As for you, I would list you as slight mafia still.

Almost caught up, but not entirely. But I'm tired of reading, and need to get thoughts out. My reads have flipped quite a bit.

First,
Thoughts on Ika

Ika seems sure that IAWY will flip scum to the absurd. I believe it is entirely possible for Ika to be bussing IAWY here.

ika wrote:whata bout it? if MP is scum voting scum its win-win

^About MP voting IAWY. Assuming IAWY is scum.

ika wrote:hes lurking and sevral who know him say thats scum MO?

Who here has said that? I don't recall this.

ika wrote:so the bet is this, if hes scum i get your vote, if hes town you have my vote

deal?

(yes im being like this intentionally, i want to see more from you as well)

ika wrote:i consider hers 10 times more right now cus she is a confirmed town flip. not only that but she was killed. porbally for her reads.

Lol, you never ever doubted that she was town, so this seems disingenuous.


---

Sig is soft defending IAWY quite a bit.

sig wrote:I could also see MM being mafia even if inaword does flip, which is why he didn't vote for him and tried to move it away from inaword a bit.

^One example.

However, there are some good things about Sig too. I like how he defends Frog. He doesn't quite fit the scum team picture I'm starting to get, but still unsure.

---

Golden has me pretty convinced he is town. Zebra is likely town too (?), but she irks me lol (all within the game of course^^)

---

I'm very interested to see IAWY flip and think it would clear up a lot. None of his posts has impressed me today.

VOTE INAWORDYES

For now.

No.

Case Golden: He said "I'd sooner mislynch you than myself" - He did not say "you are a mislynch this game" like your post implied.

Case Ika: Ika did not claim scum, he said "If I was scum...", key word being if.

This is just to demonstrate some of the issues I have with your posts. It's like you're taking one piece of something and making it into something it's not.

This is such bullshit. Regardless of Golden's alignment.

Dafug happened to that spoiler?

Anyway, this was to Zebra.
You have got to step back and look at what people actually are saying and not describe implications that aren't there. You did this two specifc times and I've been calling you out on it. Then you call me a liar. No.

I'll repeat:
Golden did NOT say you were going to be a mislynch this game, he said he'd rather mislynch you than have himself mislynched.

Ika did NOT scum claim, he said IF he was scum, he would have killed Silver.

This is only to clarify.

Besides this, as I've made the point before... I don't 'plan' busses. Ever. There is no value in it. Bussing is a phenomenon that MUST feel natural out of your reads. If it feels like you've suddenly shifted direction, it's pointless. If I'm going to bus, it's my call alone and I make it in the moment... and if I have day time talk, I'll say sorry to my teammate, but I'll do what I have to do.

I never truly considered a sloonei vote yesterday. But I'll admit, after he switched from Frog to IAWY, I very nearly switched my vote to you. That was the moment where I started tinfoiling the pair of you as teammates. It looked to me a little like getting civ cred AND helping make sure a teammate didn't go home all in one. And it's not as though your case on sloonei ever amounted to any danger for him, because so many people were town reading him.

The flaw in this tinfoil read is - you are vibing town to me. It's why I feel much more strongly about sloonei than I do about you.

And the reason I never truly considered a sloonei vote yesterday is in part because I never considered he would get the votes to be lynched, so it seemed like a waste of energy. I never considered a Frog vote either until it seemed viable that he would be lynched.

In the conversation between Golden and Zebra, I think Golden is explaining himself pretty well. His point about his Sloonei read is not hard to follow to me at all, and I don't get why it's so hard for Zebra. She really does seem stuck here.

Another point that I want to make about Golden is that I totally follow his Frog suspicion and how he describes it, cause it alligns very much with my own thoughts I had on Frog. Also here I disagree/don't understand Zebra.

MM is making me more suspicious kind of lighting fire under something that looks more town vs town to me than not. Taking Zebra's "scum slip" is total bullshit.

I'm ready to vote for MM he is most likely mafia. His most recent behavior is very mafish and pingy. I think Dizzy addressed some of them as well as the Ika think, and the fact he has been bandwagoning on me all phase.

VOTE METALMARSH89

and I've responded to his question yet he still hasn't changed his vote.

The sock is here!

Who else is here?

Town: MP, Golden, Marco

Likely town: Zebra, sig, Zexy

Null: PSI (will he be replaced?)

All possible scum: IAWY, Ika, Wilgy, Soneji, MM, Sloonei

This is roughly where I'm at with my reads right now. Taking into consideration interactions and what other people say in my read on Sig. Zexy is not a strong town read, but I still feel it's more likely he is town. Obviously someone in the suspicion group is town.

MovingPictures07 wrote:The sock is here!

MP! 1. Be town or I'll cry. 2. Keep me sane. 3. Load up on coffee and let's discuss reads, cause many of mine have flipped quite a bit.
