My bad, guys. Sloonei voted Jimmy before Bob.
This doesn't look good for Bob.
Bob already mentioned that twice but apparently nobody actually reads what he says

"Actually, my vote on JJJ was worthless"
"I don't know why you're defending me Eloh"
"readlist with Jack as bad RIGHT BEFORE jack dies"

Feels weird. Super honest with a smashing of wine. I keep writing "gut says town" on this post but I'm not sure what my gut says beyond "Urgh I feel terrible."

I feel you. And I think he is being doing it on purpose to makes us confused and avoid being both lynched and NK'd. But that's also something a civ would do. Especially a seasoned civ who is probably more interested in Chicka Chicka so he would come here just to troll us.

He's one of my suspects too, so if no one else wants to park on Wilgy, I may be inclined to follow you with a malakim vote but I didnt want to rush into it without giving him a chance to get settled and tell us stuff so we can judge him more fairly. His contributions so far haven't sat well with me. I was in the same boat but felt it necessary to share my thoughts on everything as I went along. He was a lot more reserved.

Posted: **Mon Dec 04, 2017 1:21 pm**

I do feel sorry a little but I also feel a sense of "what the hell am I supposed to do" when the guy reacts so badly to being voted in a mafia game.

If he is actually legit pissed off this could be a matter to consider, though.

Posted: **Mon Dec 04, 2017 1:23 pm**

Imo if our killer role is alive and active he should be shooting the likes of INH and Sig. And Malakim, should he not come back.

Posted: **Mon Dec 04, 2017 1:23 pm**

Malakim's "Janitor?" comment has no alignment relevance for a few reasons:

1. It's not a part of the scum roles.
2. Genuine confusion is a great way to seem town, but if given the opportunity, mafia can use it. This was an opportunity.
3. Malakim thought that maybe the 3P role janitored the kill.

Heck, I also didn't know if the nightkills would be janitored until one happened. I suspected, but I didn't scour the OP. I respect Malakim enough to assume that, when replacing in as scum, he can fake confusion well enough. Especially when it is applied to mechanics that genuinely hasn't looked at.

I wouldn't say it's a scumtell either. Just a big ol' nothing

Lean town. From what little exposure I have seems like town Sloonei, I like the questions and prodding people. Not enough reads or firm statements that I recall to make me really solidify the town read though.

I went back to pull out a Specific Thing from Bob's ISO but this caught my eye because it has my name in it so I want to harp on it briefly. This is the sort of wishywashy early read that I usually am suspicious of. He sets me up as a town read but then makes sure to leave the door open for a case to be made against me. I get bad vibes from this because I'm getting bad vibes from everything he's posting. Now onto what I actually set out to do...

But no really, if you're out there, pls kill INH. We can't read anything whatsoever into a missing player. Sig at least has some posts, same for Malakim.

No, seriously, I am not doing anything on purpose. I would so much rather have just been right about everything.

JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Thu Nov 23, 2017 12:17 am Elohcin's rainbow and dialogue with Sloonei

Sloonei's questions here were reasonable -- Elohcin voiced in vague terms that the high posters seem civ and that she'd be willing to vote for a low poster. The contents of the rainbow list don't align with that much. A change of heart is fine, but I don't know if that's even what happened in Eloh's head -- the progression is unclear. The names in the rainbow almost appear randomized. I'm surprised to see myself rated well given my own slow start, and I have no idea why Mesk is so high. I don't know why the low posters are split between yellow and orange. I don't know why the high posters Sloonei and Quin are orange. When given an opportunity to expand on these things, she just said "relax" and restated the general purpose of a rainbow list.

Elohcin, you need to talk more about what's going on there.
So then if he was right on all that why did he drop the vote when Epi said the read/case was bad? What made him swap his vote?

You negated my BTSC theory, but I still see in-thread evidence that coild to against her. In the absence of strong suspects, I'm not eliminating her from suspicion.

In the absence of strong suspects, I can get behind the idea of lynchig a low poster.

It appears the influence Epi had over his vote switch relates to content separate from Elohcin's rainbow list -- instead it relates to the meta discussion pertaining to her behavior when she has BTSC. This strikes me as consistent with the notion that she could still warrant a vote given the other reasons Sloonei's stated suspicion exists.

This has been the fastest-paced side mission I've ever seen here. The only competition that comes to mind at the moment is Economics, and I believe that had 48 hour days. This environment is a challenging one for a mafia team to handle, and with that in mind I believe there's a better chance of finding them among the low-posters than there would be in some other randomly selected game. Consider the present wagons, that dynamic, and sprityo's recent conduct in this thread and I think it's the best decision right now.

I'm not fully on board with Sloonei as town. I don't care. This is EOD, and the point is to make the best vote I can make. I think there's more reason to view him as a civilian than there is for sprityo. I think there's more reason to view Jack as a civilian too.

Reads exist, vaguely, and a vote is attributed to two other people. Indeed, the most substantive reasoning offered for the nutella vote is that other people voted for nutella. If we perceive her as a civilian, it's not ideal that he placed the responsibility for his vote in their laps.

His posts are generally explorations of things and less about takes on people. It's the kind of look I would associate with manufactured effort.

I don't know what this is. He didn't lead the tally and still felt it was so awful that he'd received votes that he couldn't bear to stay. I question the sincerity.

In it they discuss between themselves the theories surrounding myself and sprityo (now dunya) at the time. The two of them initiated and carried out this conversation by their own volition, to discuss their opposing viewpoints about two players who are probably both town, I now realize. My question is whether or not this looks like two scum partners dancing around each other to look authentic and create some post-mortem separation, as that is what I'd have to read it as if I'm to believe cbob is town.

I'd like to hear thoughts on this, and it's really the most critical point in my read of colonialbob at this stage.

I'd want malakim to say more things before I commit to lynching him. I've eased off the town read I was giving him earlier because I didn't like the strength of the case being made against him and still have reservations about the notion that "Jay saved Dom" on Day 3, but overall I don't really have much reason to stand in the way of a case against him if I don't read his confusion about the janitored nightkills as being a town-indicator.

Kyle is a good tinfoil suspect but I'd want a substantive case against him before I consider a vote. If I had time to do that today, I would. I think we could get some good discussion going about him. By "we" I again mean "you all".

Ditto for Long Con. I am presently more inclined to vote LC than Kyle.

Last but not least, anyone who doesn't vote colonialbob is literally the Grinch.

A variant of #3. I think INH is a perfectly valid suspect given that he has 0 posts and I counted the same number of direct references to him in Jay's ISO. But plopping votes on him early when there's plenty more substantive suspects to go after isn't my desired method of scum hunting, and I was hoping a harsh stance would provoke a strong reaction of Epi because he's a whirlwind of content when he gets going and it's fun.

Is it that you townread INH?
That you think today is a bad day to lynch an inactive, and would rather wait for that coin flip at endgame?
Or that you think Epi having his vote on an inactive stifles discussion for some reason?

I'm sure Epi will join us. I'm just trying to ward off a semantic discussion of whether scumhunting is stifled by early votes on inactives or not. I am pretty sure Epi would be happy to oblige, but this thread is long enough.

Care to reflect on this?

I have a theory that with the events of this game so far, 2 no lynches, 2 failed kills, the death of jaggedJimmyJay, the levels of trust and amount of information inferences we've been able to make. I think those things would reasonably make Nadia members frustrated with this game as a whole and probably drop off in effort I think I've been seeing that with Quin, and also on some level Malakim

I'd argue that the lack of deaths has inhibited the flow of information and resulted more chaos and uncertainty among townies than is usual. I don't think this would frustrate the bad boys and girls.

Another question for people who are good at analyzing this sort of thing: Why might Jack have been killed? He was still on a lot of people's radar and has been a controversial figure for much of the game.

He was after myself and Quin most recently, as well as malakim.

I suppose I already have. Just haven't posted anything.

It doesn't rule them out as teammates, but when I read it, it didn't seem like distancing. Cbob seems honest here in his question, and it doesn't really make JJJ look good at the time. I sense no planning or anything BTSC. Even if they were scum, this seems like an honest interaction. More likely if Cbob is town.

I'd certainly rather focus elsewhere today. Cbob is maybe my 5th or 6th most likely scumspect.

Long history of calling out dunya as well.

It's probably the best point for Malakim, unless the kill was locked in early. With Jack's legacy post as is, in Malakim's spot, I wouldn't want the last thing an engaged and confirmed town said to be suspecting of me. WIFOM though, as well as the timing of the nightkill getting sent in. Malakim hasn't even been around. Just a thought.

I do remember jack being the only one after Quin. I should probably ISO jack's most recent day.

linki: I still think Dunya's town though.

Also was after me. So obviously he could be wrong.
