Dom seems pretty amiable these days, though I might be the only one noticing it. My great uncle turned over a new leaf after he physically abused a stripper, which we learned later in court.

floyd seems to me like a good candidate for a lynch, since he is around on the site but isn't posting. I find t hard to believe he has been silenced twice in a row, or even at all. I mean, come on.

Well for starters there's the one from a few days ago where you basically said because Dom seemed frustrated we should lynch him so he doesn't have to be any more.

Then you come out with this:

But tomorrow will mark a week since he has logged in.

and the follow-up where you talk about Bass and Floyd. They're all low posters yeah but it's day 3. I know I just said I wanted to look at some people who might be being forgotten, but I also said they're not my priority and linki will show me you think Floyd is a good lynch candidate. Would you really rather lynch him over anyone that's active?

I'm sorry, this is an example, and was edited for brevity. Not saying Dom abused strippers. Not at all. But here's what happened.
My great uncle was very prickly to the family, and never wanted to have anything to do with us. No one had seen him or knew anything about his goings-on.
One day he calls up my aunt and asks if she wants to bring the family to his house for July 4. They go. Report back that he was super nice and over accommodating, as if something was not quite right
I'm wondering if Dom has changed tactics because his win condition has changed. That was the point of that. It was a broad jump and I apologize if that was confusing.

But i would assume people aren't allowed to target the same person twice in a row...so...what different curse would be causing 1st grade knock knock jokes followed by medieval tonguesmith.

Joker -> Riddler?

Or has Matt been targeted by the Penguin early on? Do we know that the Penguin's target has to vote a certain way, or just has to act a certain way?

He's Riddler man.

How so?

He's posting in riddles two days in a row. Different kinds. Day 1 knock knock jokes. Day 2 Shakespeare. Can't be double targeted...

I don't think that makes him anti-town though.

Lmao nubs. Why the fuck would I do something shit like that? Explain to me why I would out myself in due time by giving them obvious posting curses? Please, humor me.

I'll await your answer and respond to whatever else is there when I get home.

Original theory: "Dom is bad because he's being *~mean~* and that's Dom's baddie meta"
New Theory: "Dom is bad because he isn't being *~mean~* so something must have changed.

You can't have it both ways.
Anyway, I don't think I was ever "mean". I think I was very annoyed with some thread going-ons. I think I felt very personally attacked. I think if you read my Day 0-1 posts, the tone is strikingly different to that of Day 2. However, this is the kicker, you're clearly not really reading my posts.

Now because you've been vague about how I've "changed tactics" (i.e. you have not given a single specific on what you mean here) I can't give a single response. If you're talking about how vocal I am, then you clearly didn't read that my students were on vacation last week, I had all day to play mafia, and now I teach and have significantly less time to devote to Mafia.

So, Scotty, which is it? Am I a mean baddie? Am I a newly recruited baddie who's "changed tactics" to get a win? Am I bad because of how much less vocal I've been lately, despite contributing regularly and given an explanation for that?
You can't play for all these teams. It just tells me you're not really suspicious of me. You are reacting to someone who suspects you.

Like... I'm not gonna take offense to this, but what is your aim here?

I'm with juliets and others in that it seems like a pretty nub statement but what are your thoughts on what is actually happening? Let's say you aren't the Penguin. What do you make of these curses and their sources?

Typhoony wrote:I liked THs post on Mac, so I will probably vote there.

I have some time right now though, so let's talk. Who are you looking at for a vote juliets?

I'm at the gym right but I'll be happy to snip out specific posts when I get home.

I never said you were playing "Dom's baddie meta", as you quote. That was someone else. You're generally a little prickly. You were more prickly than I remember in the first parts f the game. You say you were personally offended, ok. But you made a jump of sorts in day 2, as you just admitted. That's what I'm talking about. Not your lack of presence due to teaching.

The only team I'm playing for is Gotham

I have no desire to lynch Equiv right now, but might at some point. If and when Mafia stop killing, he will be a liability if he is civ, and a definite liability if he is Mafia. Not getting into the semantics of that.

As for Floyd (or Bass), why should anyone who's logging in to lurk and not contribute be getting a pass? There's a little over half of the players talking, and they can't all be bad. At least Bubbles has offered her thoughts in drive by form every day.

There might be better lynch options from people talking themselves into a corner, but don't forget about the shadows.

Typhoony wrote:No.

The role of Penguin is far too delicate to ruin with obvious posting curses. By nature, that role has a low chance of survival because people will be able to figure out a lot of players that are not the Penguin and at some point, this will mean that people will know who the Penguin is.

That means the Penguin has to do everything in its power to NOT make it obvious that people are Penguin'd.

Typhoony wrote:So I advocate that I'm here for 2 hours, telling people to ask me questions.

And I get a couple of people saying they are suspicious of me.

Hello. I'm here to answer your questions. I can't do shit with people telling me they're open to voting me.
