Sloonei - Generally I think his play has had pro-town promise in that he has put forth useful analytic material and pursued it so that his reads could affect tally results.

Scotty - He rejoined the game in a pretty crappy position but has still done an admirable job of contributing something and trying to stay productive.

Quin - At no point have I felt anything he has said is suspicious or warrants re-examination.

Quin - Looked good and sincere since subbing in.

RE: Quin, though, I'm starting to get some doubts just because I haven't scrutinized him much since his first 48 hours in the game. Nothing he's done jumps out at me but I owe him a better look.

Glorfindel - He has made an earnest effort to stay in the game despite his known time constraints.

insertnamehere - His failed lynch may indicate him as one of three roles (two of which are civilian) and his defenses to accusations have seemed genuine.

LoRab - She bears the appearance of a townie who has gotten caught in tunnel vision.

motel room - He has noticed smaller details of people's post that I'd associate more with a town inclination toward hunting for clues.

LoRab - Her thoughts are clear, consistent, and easy to trace; she has made a lot of useful posts in this game.

motel room - Limiting time constraints, but has been inquisitive and insightful whenever he has been around.

Cool, thanks guys. Now it'd be ideal for the three of us to state which of those names we struggled the most with to provide a town case that feels meaningful to ourselves. For me it's these players:

Dom
Scotty
Glorfindel
LoRab

Posted: **Tue Nov 01, 2016 3:32 pm**

I don't think my Glorfindel sentence was articulated very well. That looks pretty ambiguous. What I mean is I don't remember a whole lot of case-making from Glorfindel in this game, I mostly just remember him answering questions directed at him. If he is town, I can credit this to the propensity for questions to be asked at him. And time constraints, of course.

Posted: **Tue Nov 01, 2016 3:39 pm**

Pending INH's thoughts, I find myself wondering if we should be more interested in a Dom lynch.

Posted: **Tue Nov 01, 2016 3:41 pm**

Or Glorfindel

Posted: **Tue Nov 01, 2016 3:46 pm**

Gth explanation and reasoning.

Dom - bad - I have no memory of any posts or opinions from Dom and this doesn't sit right with me. Be it my inability to notice or him sitting back and to playing much, I wouldn't know.
Epi - bad - this one was hard fpr me. I had read town Zebra all game, but I feel baddie Epi vibes. I think the scenario where this isn't baddie Epi, this is jus a reoccurring version of lost mafia Epi.
Glorf - good - based on the exchange we had regarding vote numbers, I think glorf is civ. I think that baddie glorf wpuld have had less confusion regarding the polls.
Inh - good - based soley on lynch survival.
JJJ - good - based soley on nk survival.
LoRab - good - interactions with Eloh make Lorab not her teammate.
Motel - good - comparing Motel this game to when he was on my team in the gane of champs is why I think he's good. In the game of champs he was busy and didn't wcen try to hide the fact he wasn't contributing, but In this game he seems busy but still tries to state his mind.
Quin - bad - voting to save the Sloonster when I'm suspecting the sloonster.
Scotty - bad - I have no memory of Scotty, but I read sprityo as bad before they left.
Sloonei - bad - click on my "in thread" posts.

That's all of my gth thoughts.

Posted: **Tue Nov 01, 2016 3:47 pm**

What is the case for Glorfindel being scum? I struggled to come up with a reason to call him town, but I'm not confident about any case against him either.

Posted: **Tue Nov 01, 2016 3:52 pm**

Could you elaborate on your epi read, wilgy?

Sloonei wrote:What is the case for Glorfindel being scum? I struggled to come up with a reason to call him town, but I'm not confident about any case against him either.

I don't think I could assemble a convincing case against him. That's kind of why I am working from the opposite direction right now (who gets the fewest town points instead of who gets the most baddie points). In a few past games Glorfindel was heavily and wrongly suspected the whole time, and I felt like a lone wolf out there defending him constantly. This time I don't quite see the same spark that inspired me to do that then. I think his voting behavior is baddie-compatible, and his most active periods in the game have come when he has been answering to the most accusations.

I think I'd prefer to lynch Dom between the two. It's a difficult choice.

Posted: **Tue Nov 01, 2016 4:36 pm**

I'll take another look at Glorf and see if I can find any threads to pull at.

Why are you pretending like I haven't explained this?

I'm telling you that your multiple times have left me feeling that your beef with Sloonei is frivolous. That's currently your best motive for a vote as of this sixth day phase of play after having spent the entire game previous apparently empty of opinions related to Sloonei?

Can you differentiate between what she does as a civilian and what she does as Mafia?
No explicitly, no.

I just take more convincing than most to find Elohcin suspicious.
This is similar to what was seen with Zebra. I am a little less inclined to view it as innocent just because he only barely began to explain himself. "I take more convincing that most" kind of bugs me a little bit. It's a small point.

~~~

That's it. There's too little to talk about for me to come to a confident conclusion. I'll say this makes Dom look slightly more questionable, but not super alarming.

It's like I said. I have no thoughts about Dom. He's mostly bad on my list by default.

While I'd like to murk someone I find suspect or at least vive bad, survival is priority.

Suddenly I'm looking at Dom's posts and seeing baddie everywhere.

~ Attacks MP from the first moment of the game and almost never lets up

~ Unexplained off-hand defenses of Elohcin

Because Dom is voting Sloonei. If Dom becomes a leading wagon, I'll die in his self preservation, unless others move.

We are caught in a situation where we have 2 stagnant wagons due to people not being here. One of those happens to be a person I want lynched the other happens to be me. It's quite the kerfuffle.

To explain my Epi view Sloonei - it reminds me alot of Lost... I think it was lost at least. Towards the end of the game it came down to Epi, I and afew others. That game, like this one, I read Epi as bad, but in that game he ended up being civ.

The tldr is I tone read bad Epi, but last time I tone read bad Epi I was wrong.

I have some concern that we might be too willing to adopt a "bad Epignosis" mindset purely because of his posts, meaning we're too quick to discard everything Zebra put in the thread due to recency bias.

This is far. I am also tone reading him as bad from his treatment of me last night. Not so much his initial suspicion of me, but in his responses when I started to express suspicion of him. His response to everything amounted to little more than an eye roll without any actual response. I feel like a town Epi would have been more open and responsive. For what it's worth I've started feeling better about you and worse about him over the last couple hours.

The reason I asked is because Epi and I have been about as opposed to each other today as you and I have. I was curious how you felt about that dynamic.
