Sloonei wrote: ↑Thu Feb 01, 2018 3:48 pm Kyle, your vote has sat on Ambray for a while. Is she currently your strongest suspect?

no, I put my vote on sofi cus I wanted an explanation for her vote on Glorfindel which cited me as a source of confidence. She's still a suspect, but I don't want to lynch her today.

I've been trying to get out of my meta of only ever voting last minute. I think it will improve my effectiveness as a player.

who else are you considering?

good question... i want to look back through LC and LA's posts since they've been brought up by others. I think a meta-dive on rabbit may be beneficial as well.

of course if sofi comes back before deadline i'd like an explanation of her vote

TBF I'm pretty averse to dishonesty in most situations irl. Easy for me to make an exception for playing mafia though.


Ugh, this vote spread. "Disgusting."

I think I'm feeling better about LC for the moment, which leaves me about equally open to adding my vote to Ambray or Rabbit. Unfortunately they're both back from hiatus and I'd feel pretty bad lynching either of them D1, especially if I've perhaps forgotten their usual meta and they're really just civs doing their best with a largely unfamiliar set of players. Putting my vote on Ambray for now because I think rabbit at least is being more or less his usual self while Ambray has done nothing to answer for her questionable behavior. And I know she said she's been really busy but I think she'd still be posting a bit more content as a civ.

As much as rabbit is confounding and resisting me, I don't feel like he's a scum player. This strikes me as a chaos townie in the vein of Drwilgy, but more vocal right now than the Doctor himself. I need to leave in less than an hour and won't be back til either after or right before the deadline, so I'd like to cast a vote that actually means something now.
novaselinenever would be a totally uninspiring lynch. I want him to say things, but lynching a guy with 2 posts when there are more substantial cases to be made is lame. I feel similarly about Ambray, but I at least feel like there's the beginnings of a case to be made against her. That said, I'm unlikely to vote for her. Of the rest of the two-vote candidates, that leaves me with myself, nutella, and LC. I don't see me voting for myself and I haven't been inspired by any of the arguments I've seen against nutella. She looks like a player who's been trying to make the game happen on Day 0/1. I am most comfortable voting for LC, but that's far from being a definitive vote. I didn't like how easily he picked up and then dropped his suspicion against nutella, and his vote for rabbit looks like potential opportunism. Moving my vote back to Long Con.

I'll continue to hover around the thread for a bit longer, and I hope you all continue pumping this thing full of juicy content right up until the deadline. Things feel like they're starting to take shape, keep it up.

lol. I like a good vote spread on Day 1. It indicates a game full of civilians throwing crap against the wall. what has you feeling better about LC today?

So for you it's just totally normal and expected for Sloonei to quash lines of questioning on day one? To create an environment where a questioned player doesn't need to explain themselves because it's already being done for them?

Are you questioning me for providing an explanation of Glorfindel's behavior?

The fact that you explained his behavior once was fine, but even after that, you were giving Glorfindel opportunities to not have to explain himself, or his attempted change in meta. Why not let him speak for himself? Why was it important for you to be the one to do it?

I stood up for Glorfindel because I don't like to see people manipulating his meta to get an easy read on him. I feel like it's teetering on the edge of what is or isn't in the spirit of the game. He's stated that he doesn't want this to be something that follows him around in every game, and I think his behavior in this thread indicates his discomfort with it. I wanted us to move away from that particular line of inquiry. I don't wish to speak for him, but I also don't want to see him pursued in a way that I think is unfair or uncomfortable for him.

I don’t know what role you’ve drawn this game Master Sloonei but it there would be no better fit for you personally than Frodo Baggins - such a noble soul!

hm I didn't really think of it this way, I thought his change of heart looked genuine but I could be biased. I'll reread him and see what I think about the possible opportunism. He's a tricky one that LC. Been playing with him for ten years and can still never make up my mind about his style.

Well like i get that, and I don't ever lie to people I care about but even in real life there's situations where it's better or easier to lie than to tell the truth. People ask too many personal questions, far too casually sometimes, and real truths have be earned. It's not my job to make sure people know things about me.

So I am ignoring Jack because his emoji posts are dumb.

I just reread LC's ISO and I'm feeling... aggressively neutral on him. In a dangerously teeter-tottery way. The fact that I can read him as bad makes me want to.

Further coming into day 1 and especially with her more recent posts I think I see a civ mindset. GTH civ LA

Long Con wrote: ↑Thu Feb 01, 2018 3:19 pm Just a minor ping for the way he encouraged my suspicion of nutella.

Haven't actually read the thread yet, but thought I should post as I seem to have attracted some votes. I assume for the way I voted and left.

My reason for voting the way is I thought I would have to vote last night as I wasn't expecting to be here today. I hate to not vote at all, because why sign up?

I did is I didn't have any suspicions as such that warranted me making a post and voting for someone of my own suspicions. Kyle is giving me completely opposite vibes to the game I played with him a week or so ago, a burglary I admit so short and sweet, but I agreed with his assessment of the role reveals and I saw he had made a post about glorfindel and so just as I needed to vote - I followed that. Hence the 'just cause' of my post. I expected it to be a throwaway vote and not taken seriously or followed, tbh. I knew more discussion would happen and probably other suspects followed.

Of course, it would've been nicer if it hadn't been me.

I have a few pages to read now.

got any reads other than the ones you've already expressed? I don't think nutella is a good lynch today.

I appreciate and respect your opinion on the Nutella lynching but for my personal satisfaction, I’ll await her response to my last post to her. I’m far from convinced on the basis of her earlier response and want to see a better defense than what I got. As for everyone else, I don’t get Jack. This game SHOULD be EPIC! Why anyone would artificially restrict themselves to posting in emoticons under these circumstances is nothing short of a travesty.

Epi is proving to be something of a problem - in my view he seems uncommonly disengaged and seems to be contributing little other than stating that (to which, anyone else) would see as the bleeding obvious.

Ambray is (in my view) spectacularly unimpressive. A veritable handful of posts and a lame-arse vote on me. I think she really needs to step it up but I’m reluctant to make assumptions about her alignment based on her scant contribution at this stage.

LC seems fairly normal LC to me - a pretty Null read there.

DrWilgey - Need to see more and review.

Kyle - I honestly don’t know what it is about Kyle. I’m sure he’s a lovely guy and very smart but I have this overwhelming vibe that he’s hiding something. I don’t know why I find it so hard to trust him - it’s actually starting to maker me feel kinda bad...

He's either good or bad and we will never be able to truly know until we conduct a post mortem.

I have not much enthusiasm for the games right now. I'm doing my best.

Kylemii wrote: ↑Thu Feb 01, 2018 5:10 pm Reading through nutella's posts.... some of her things early on were sketchy, but later on she basically went through the same exact mental journey toward understanding Glorfindel that I did. Further coming into day 1 and especially with her more recent posts I think I see a civ mindset. GTH civ LA

Out of curiosity, my friend - what content of Nutella’s more recent posts (specifically) has led you to conclude that she is operating from a ‘civ mindset’? I have an open mind - please help me to see things from your perspective.

Reading through LC's iso... I see a lot of questions being asked but he hasn't really done much follow up work on many of the things, other than his view on Nutella. In general, in comparison to fiddler mafia I'm seeing a more relaxed and less focused LC.

I'd appreciate if some other Roof Builders would compare and contrast LC's early game behavior between this game and that one.

I'm going to follow his lead and vote glorfindel, just cause.

hi sofi!

do you believe glorfindel is bad because you agree with me or because you trust me?

my vote for glorfindel is specifically about a meta that I barely know about because of the one other game we've both played in, have you played with glorfy before?

As previous post.
No idea what meta is.
No I haven't.

nutella wrote: ↑Wed Jan 31, 2018 7:13 pm I also want to hear more from Ambray because I don't think she has the context for all this Glorf stuff and she seemed to misunderstand what was going on and just followed Kyle's vote. :\

Most accurate.

LOLOL.
My post was too big?
My my my, times really have changed.

timmer wrote: ↑Wed Jan 31, 2018 11:55 pm Okay, so how have Day 1's been going around here these days? I see a lot of people either seeming to establish a meta (I'm going to do THIS this game") or reinforcing what seems to be their perceived norm (Sloonei "hi, I post a lot and ask a lot of questions") etc.

How does this meta-market typically end up? I guess I'm just struggling to find an entry point into the conversations.

I agree with this establishing a perceived norm stuff.

Spoilers.

Greetings Ambray! I don't believe we've ever played together. What can you tell me about your mafia background?

*Shows n00b card*

I have one of these and I think lynching Kyle is always a good idea.

Started the game off by claiming to be new. This turned out to be controversial:

Ambray wrote: ↑Mon Jan 29, 2018 7:00 pm Lolololol. Here we go.

Not I'm not new. I started playing 10years ago on LP and have played on various sites since with several people here. But it has been a long time since I last played, excluding the speed game or whatever you called it I played on here the other night.

And if Kyle talks about SoFi, he's talking about me - that used to be my name....

I also like to lynch him a lot. For giggles.

Her noobie claim was contested immediately and she walked it back, then splashed in some non-game meta justification for lynching Kyle. It doesn't seem serious, but that sort of joke suspicion always strikes me as having the potential to be used by scum looking to skate by early in games. That said, I don't feel like this kind of behavior (both the jesting lynch justification and the dubious noobious claim) is necessarily suspicious. It's going to depend on how she follows it up once the game gets going in earnest. So...

Spoiler: show

What do you think of nutella's reaction to your counterfeit n00b card?

I said it purposefully as a nod to saying the same thing in the burglary game and her reacting the same way.

What is your read on her right now?

That it's like an hour into D1 and I don't have one.

Ambray wrote: ↑Wed Jan 31, 2018 6:17 pm So I suddenly am working non stop over the next couple days, quite literally so won't be likely around to vote tomorrow.

In all the games I ever played of mafia I only played 1 that allowed role claiming and I still find it hard to wrap my head around it being an ok thing to do nowadays and I really can't say that I like it as a an allowance, but thems the kicks.

I remember yesterday being pinged by somebody, but I honestly do not have the energy in me right now to go back and reread, even just 2 pages worth. xD

I am getting civvie vibes from Kyle so far and I agree with his assessment of the role claiming situation - I am surprised at the amount of people disagreeing with him and calling him mafia for it...

Sorry to be so useless so early in the game.

I pressed her for a read on nutella after that initial activity and she gave an empty comment then a shrug. Her only contribution since the start of Day 1 is an apology for her absence (I don't hold this against her. Life happens) with a few more empty comments about the game (a remark about being unfamiliar with role claiming, and a ping from somebody unspecific). The only substantive content she provides is a vague town read on kyle.
I can see all of this being the product of a townie who's not fully invested in the game right now, but I also see reasons to be suspicious of Ambray. That said, there's not enough here for me to cast a vote with much confidence and I'd prefer to either give her a chance to get her feet wet or focus on the more talkative batch of players for now.

Ambray, any thoughts you have at all would be helpful. Even if it's just an elaboration on your civilian read on Kyle, or an identification of the player who pinged you earlier.

Wow, can't believe I actually have to defend myself over the n00b thing - that was a joke.
I started playing mafia 10years ago, but it has been a good 4-5 since I played, so near all the players are new and there are new terms and whatever to wrap my head around, but no I'm not a n00b - it was a simple jest. Nice to know things don't change with playing that ol' card though.

RE Kyle - as above. It's nothing substantial. I just called him baddie pretty quick in the burglary game and he's not pinging me thus far.

In terms of what it was earlier in the game that did, I read back and it was regarding LC.
Him saying about LA being his oldest mafia buddy and therefore knowing she wasn't acting herself and talking funny just seemed super odd to me. Epig has already elaborated on this though and reading further it seems people had suspicions LC was being set up for an easy bandwagon...yet...doesn't look like many actually voted for him. They certainly hadn't by that point.

I'm confuzzled by this because I hold LC in high esteem, we all know he's one of the best players there is and I don't think it's like him to be found out as mafia over such a simple mistake.

More than anything - the fact that is was very quickly called a bandwagon where, imo, it really didn't seem like one at all is what has me suspicious though.

Hope this isn't too long of a post to be suspicious for you Doctor.

However, reading all the LC suspicion on this page....
Eep..
