Poor wording? It's not worthy of a policy lynch because of poor wording. What you said is what you meant.
Murder, Mayhem, and Mafia

What I meant was that you voted for me based on a difference in play style, which you won't even consider being a different game strategy than your own, and not indicative of alliance. You decided that answering direct accusations with direct comments to specific points is suspicious. While I posted that it's how I always answer accusations, you would not entertain the idea that lots of players answer direct points and direct questions.a2thezebra wrote:Poor wording?

I think it's more common that someone states a suspicion, waits for a response, and then decides their vote.a2thezebra wrote:"You decided that you were voting for me before you even posted about it."
Is this uncommon?
The way you describe sounds counterproductive to me. So, again, different ways of playing.a2thezebra wrote:That sounds very counterproductive.
An accusation, you say? You come in out of the blue and throw around accusations at a bunch of players with no case to back up against your accusations against any of them (because frankly there is none) and what do want us to make from that? I actually don't think you're Mafia - I can't see any Mafia Team member being that disingenuous.SokothQultuq wrote:Seems a running theme that I'm bad.

Glorfindel - Actually your comment following up with my post pushes me toward believing that you could be a Baddie as your knee jerk reaction to my accusation. You failed to provide any substantial evidence to support the fact that you might be town but instead Knee Jerked with essentially "No I'm not, you are!" in this case. Call it a case of fishing to see what your reaction might be. And you reacted nicely. I thank you for that. Usually someone who is innocent of something does not immediately run in and start throwing around counter accusations.
Seems were both not winning any brownie points with one another. Your reaction is still the same. Convince me your not bad? You may be right, perhaps I am a "Good Guy" and I appreciate the vote of confidence. But you've given me no reason not to suspect that you might be otherwise. And your reaction continues to feed my suspicion. Why should I not consider you possible a Cylon agent?Glorfindel wrote:An accusation, you say?

What questions? All I remember you asking was if I was really busy which I answered?juliets wrote:ok, I will go back to deciding who I'm going to vote for. I'm not at all happy with sig's attitude towards epi and he hasn't answered the question I put out there this afternoon and I have a bad gut feeling so he may be my vote today. He also didn't see anything bad in nutella. I want to see what G-Man has to say about Glorfindel but I can't say I have noticed anything I would consider bad. I could have easily missed something though. For those who think sig is town what are you seeing?

So the issue I had with Daisy is that I didn't like the way she did it. It was very on the fence type of defense. Unlike what I did, I flat out said I'd rather she didn't get lynched since I didn't see the case.Ricochet wrote: sig
- liked JJJ's case on LC, but then made no final commitment to lynch Long Con
- found zero validity in lynching nutella
- votes Epignosis, based on Long Con connection (and on obstinately wanting Epignosis lynched)
- lobbies hard for Epignosis to develop into a lynch wagon
~ is pinged by Daisy's stance on nutella and on the last players to vote nutella
~ keeps on drumming on Epignosis being lynched
I find evidence to be not favorable to sig, but I can't put a final finger on what would profile him as a certain teammate. He had all the right preparation to wagon on Long Con. Did he get scared of being too obvious of a counter-wagoner (if indeed nutella's teammate)? His Epignosis vote only makes sense if you count his obstinancy in Epig needing to be lynched. I'm not sure how to interpret him berating Daisy for defending nutella. It could be a cover-up, it could be a genuine ping, but it is also contradictory to him not finding nutella lynchworthy himself.

i still suspect LC, although less than before because BR doesn't seem to suspect him. Bea's posts yesterday really did raise alarm. I'm waiting to hear her response to determine how deep that suspicion is. The other names that have come up are either vague suspish to neutral.Epignosis wrote:Lorab, I falsely suspected you a long time in Yorkshire. I told you to quit defending yourself and get on the offensive. Maybe we can try that again. Who is it you want dead and why?
It was not the case. But, yeah, I totally get why people are suspecting me. And that they're seeing the connection and not remembering that buddying up with a teammate isn't my MO. And that there's a bunch of things that make me look bad. But I'm not bad. Frustrating that no one is seeing that.S~V~S wrote:LoRab, it really did feel like a save the other day. And you felt the "save-iest". It sucks if that was not the case, but you can't blame people for feeling that way.
I have people coming over for GOT shortly, so I may or may not be back before the poll ends. I missed a vote in the other game, don't want to miss one here.

Is that what these two posts mean? Because if so I'm confused. I'm thinking I may have misread it though.

It's a catch 22, though. Because I won't be lynched (due to the president's latest rule). So, either you don't believe it, in which case you think I'm human, which most people seem to assume means civ (even though I don't think that's true--just as I know there are good cylons, I believe there are bad humans).

This sounds like a better plan to me, her interaction around Nutella's lynch was odd, and that combined with her being a cylon is troublesome.Epignosis wrote:Lynching Lorab would confirm her claim one way or the other.

Somewhat. But by calling it one, it makes you wonder if I'm actually crazy or just pretending to be crazy, for the sake of what is right, in this case the greater good of the civ cause...so it kind of is exactly a catch 22.Epignosis wrote:This is decidedly not a catch-22.LoRab wrote:It's a catch 22, though.

No. You're trying to play both sides of the coin. If you are lying, you are a human, and then you resort to an if-then statement.

Is that REALLY how you see that exchange my friend? I was chastising 'Sokoth' for precisely the opposite - I don't consider random, unsubstantiated accusations 'opinions'. I seriously doubt that anyone else here would. I AM genuinely trying to figure out this game and although I may be 'tinfoiling' for the first time I seriously think there is more to this game than the simplistic black and white view some people have adopted. Personally, I think what you've painted there is a pretty flimsy case almost rivaling the 'Two Face' accusation leveled at me in my last game here. Nonetheless, if that's the best you can do in finding a Mafia Team member, good for you.G-Man wrote:Finally he chastises Sokoth for finally forming some opinions because Sokoth takes aim at Glorfindel for what looks like a hasty "NO U" reaction.
