The reason this stood out to me is because I was remembering this reaction from LC after Golden's initial reveal...

But then I saw this and realized he didn't mean when Golden made his initial revelation, he meant when he himself realized it was booby trapped.

2 is fun like 6.

I am still struggling with Long Con though and I can't decide if it's just because he and I think differently or because he is coming from a baddie mindset. It seemed immediately apparent to me what he meant and I also believe that a mafia member is not going to reveal their role power (thereby making that power pointless as well as exposing themselves) so this move only really made sense from Golden if he was civ trying to protect other civs. Why did it take personal risk for LC to make the move off of #6 then? Am I just overthinking this?

Kylemii wrote: ↑Mon May 21, 2018 11:49 pm lilefer: i've never played with this character, and they haven't posted much, what they have posted has had content but i'd like to see more, they alkso haven't posted today at all. pretty null

jackofhearts: jack reminds me of Mortal Kombat Jack, and i can't pinpoint exactly why. he spent the early game of that one doing meme posts with emotes, cus he was tired of... idk something. i think it was being misread? but ultimately he still contributed. this game seems to be leaning a little more towards roleplay than activity. though he has leaned towards the other way recently. he seems to be taking the meme aspect of this game in stride. he could be bad, gth i don't think he is.

ddl: my read on ddl is directly related to whether or not his role/alignment claim is correct or false, he claims sig will return to us at the end of the day so i think it's worth waiting to see if he's telling the truth. even if sig does return it doesn't gaurantee the rest of what he said is true, but it's a start, and a datapoint. the possibility that ddl has a role that can both vanish and unvanish people is a real possibility that shouldn't be ignored or forgotten but idk. that's something to deal with later. his emotional response to being poked at today seemed genuine, and also if this were some weird baddie gambit, it's one he's going to have to commit to, and this is going to be a long game. so i guess we'll see.

coliniscool: lots of genuine seeming content and work towards solving the game. he seems... feisty? bouncing around picking at peoples scabs. je doesnt' seem afraid to ruffle feathers and i like that. i still dislike his switch to dunya to tie the day 1 lynch up in a way which excluded eloh. i still need to review that section to see if things were as i remembered

kyle: so good, smells like raspberries, but real ones not the synthetic kind, hey do you think i should dye my hair again? i think maybe i should dye my hair again. like i know this isn't really the venue for this sort of discussion but wouldn't my hair look pretty good in like a raspberry color? or maybe mossy green again. like mossy streaks. or maybe.... blue??? idk. let me know what you think.

lunalee: her recent posts have felt more civ than her early posts were, there's a very genuine feel to her posts i think.

sprityo: his content hasn't had much content involved in it, i don't really know what to make of his personal attack comment and his leaving especially when it seemed clear that jay was cursed and his barrel comment wasn't really a personal attack, i wonder if he misunderstood what jay said? idk. he didn't seem to give many reads before he gave his list of who he would and wouldn't lynch today in order, so many of those reads seem out of left field as a result, i'd like if he'd come back and explain his reads more

jay: i think jay is town, he seems to be putting forth an authentic effort towards solving the game i trust him

Uh I mean I can oblige sure

Lilefer: he’s the guy at the barber shop that took an online class to get certified and you’re anxious because you’re his first guinea pig- it could be bad, but you probably know what you’re gonna get

Jack: he’s the Santa Claus at the mall with missing socks and facial hair that doesn’t match the unkempt rental beard- he may not bring you the type of presents you wish for and you probably shouldn’t be caught alone outside by his van at closing

DDL: he’s the priest that most definitely has a drinking problem that runs into his slurred sermons at 10am, but you can’t deny that he preaches valuable lessons behind his words, even if he himself doesn’t seem to follow them.

Colin: he’s the dog that has been trained to place his whole body under your head when you’re experiencing a seizure and has been anxiously waiting for his moment

Kyle: he’s the guy that no one invited to the party but he says some funny stuff to alleviate your doubts- it isn’t until the party is over and everyone wakes up with hangovers that you realize your silverware and duct tape is gone and your desktop keyboard keys have been rearranged

Luna: she’s the girl that you sometimes see at the library, but you’ve only been 3 times over 7 years and each time you’ve spotted her in there in the non-fiction section- you begin to wonder if she’s just really trying to learn about medieval carpentry or she’s just stalking you.

U-Pick Mafia Volume 1
Welcome to U-Pick Mafia. Let's all have a great time and be nice to the host. Here's a sweet pic.

Rules:

1. Mostly standard TS rules with the additions of the below.
2. No roles are announced in this here post. People will claim them and what have you but I ain't confirming nuttin.
3. You are privy to the factions that are in this here game, but not their win cons.
4. Just play the game. Don't play out think the mod. I will mod-kill you.
5. If you are mod-killed just get out. Don't be a douche.
6. This is a meme game. Play it as such. I expect glorious quotes and many fun moments. That is the spirit of this game.
7. There are no vanillas. There are roles that can become vanilla and/or are passive but nobody starts pure nilla.
8. If anything is ambiguous just ask me and I will answer. It probably just means I haven't thought of it.
9. This is a bastard game. Don't get all upset when weird shit happens.
10. I will reveal the roles and alignments of the deceased. Most of the time.
11. It's okay to be a dick in this game but if you hurt someones feelings I will mod-kill you probably. Unless I don't.

12. If you don't contribute much I will mod-kill you probably.

Spoiler: show

13. My host posts gonna look like dis
14. We got the 48/24 thing happening.

16. Pretty sure MP is the facilitator in this game. Given this is his site you best not piss him off.

FAQ:

Did you randomise the alignments?

Yes. In this game the players pre-selected their character, not their alignment or role. 100% of alignments were selected based on randomisation. No single player was specifically selected to a certain alignment. The roles were designed based on three factors: enjoyment of the player, flavour of the character and the alignment they rolled.

Factions:

In this game we have two scum teams, some rogues and some civs. I'm not gonna say how many of each or whatever. The faction names are:

Al-Pieda (Scum)
ISIS Cream (Scum)
Absolute Units (Civilian)
Civilians
Self-Aligned

Civ Role Card = You're just a civ. Do civ things.

Here's what I'm thinking concerning the sprityo vote. If sprityo doesn't show back up to contribute anything, we can assume he's out of the game, and his alignment won't matter any more. If he does show back up, he can defend himself and we can choose to lynch or not lynch him in better faith.
For that reason, I'm planning to re-evaluate and move my vote, and I recommend the rest of you on the sprityo wagon consider doing the same.

So let’s move on to who else I don’t want to lynch.

I don’t really want to lynch Jimmy (kinda disappointed by his attack on me last night cause it was lazy and biased but he’s done it before in Ass Class so I’ll leave it alone).

I don’t want to lynch Kyle or Luna or Sprityo but I could be convinced. I have stronger reasons to want Colin lynched and to not want Colin lynched.

At this point, I’d default to Lilefer, I suppose.

This amendment was truly stupid.

Can you do these one phrase summaries for everyone else in the poll right now? I like them.

Sprityo - a guy that up and left
Lilifer - a guy that hasn’t posted since day 1

You posted this like these are bad options. But everyone else in the poll is a bad option for one reason or another.

Luna - a girl that nobody knows how to read apparently
DDL - a self-claimed 3P who promised something verifiable

etc.

I wanted to see what these would look like if you wrote them like you did for lili and sprit. Where is your head at for the rest? Are the less boring lynches better?

This is actually a good point. @MacDougall promised us modkills. Why are we still crapping down the "lynch inactives" toilet swirl?
