Yeah sig looks pretty awful all around. He was 0 for 8 in getting town reads in the GTH exercise and that might have motivated him to "join" the cylon claimers immediately -- or at least when the day phase started. I struggle to see a scenario in which he is good.

Question for the thread. So I have this guard dog who was up barking all last night. Suddenly in the middle the night it stops. What do you guys think? Do you think the threat went away? Do you think the threat was actually a friendly neighbor? Do you think there was never any threat to begin with and I just need a new guard dog? Do you think someone tranquilized my dog to make it shut up? Do you think the dog was abducted by aliens? These are the things that keep Me Up at night.
OA, I think we are talking at odds here. There is a missed connection in my point. I'm not arguing there is nothing there and in fact until you came in to seemed to deny having said that you were punished for something you said, I had no issue with what you said. And even now I think you are just not understanding what I was suspicious about. And I have no frakking clue what the second paragraph was even about....

Daisy, Sokoth seems to be a friend of yours. What do you make of him seeing you claim Cylon but he won't do it himself? As a noob to Mafia, I'd assume he'd look to your lead in situations like this where the town is conflicted.

sig - I'm not down with anyone not claiming but I find you most curious because you have been legit asking others to claim but you won't do it yourself. Wtf?

Anyway, off to work. Peace
Just because he's my friend doesn't mean he just blindly does what I do. He is an intelligent guy, and so far this game he has not seemed to rely on my opinions at all. :shrug:

Even if they get out of a lynch down the road and are cylon, I still don't want to force anyone to go along with group think. We are not a cult here. I'm o.k. with them saying no. I think we've wasted a lot of game time trying to convince people to do it who are not going to.
^This! I'm done listening to the yelling and carrying on to try and convince everyone to claim. Would you really suspect those last nine who balked any less now than you did?

Drop the plea for them to do it and start building cases on them if you suspect they are cylons. But stop caps locking about it, because it doesn't do any good.

I had drawn the conclusion that Epignosis himself looked worse in light of nutella flipping as a likely-baddie cylon based upon the point I was describing in that post. I guess you could say both of them were "people of interest", but nutella was dead and I was reading Epignosis.

I think there's a decent chance that pure process of elimination would prove productive in this scenario, because I'm not inclined to tinfoil on any of the more-consensus town reads. I know I'm good and I feel quite good about Silverwolf, S~V~S, Ricochet, DrumBeats, Black Rock, G-Man, ObscureAllure, and even SokothQultug. To a lesser extent I am feeling decent about Epignosis, Glorfindel, juliets, and Matt. That narrows the field significantly.

Great point. It's time to start building non-claim-related cases on any non-claimers we think are suspect. Non-claiming is a valid starting point... but I doubt that all non-claimers are bad. Let the cases continue what good work we can salvage from Roslin's awesomely insane Amnesty Act. :)

If sig isn't a Cylon then he will die by majority lynch. If he was made unable to claim last phase because of an external influence, then that would be a bitch of a thing to do to him.

If he is an evil Cylon then waiting until tomorrow to lynch him does nothing but allow him one more night to use whatever power he has.

We should lynch him if we think that his potential Cylon night power is worth the risk.

I have been more in the 'lynch sig' camp than not, so I imagine that I'd join a plan to put him in the lead, with another suspect decidedly in second in open-eyed preparation for his votes being zeroed.

It's a really easy statement for her to make at the point she made it. She isn't dumb, so she has the potential ability to make a statement like that with the intention of drawing others to the conclusions you came to in the event of her lynch. It also could have been just a "safe" statement, or one to look like just another clueless Civ-type. It's not a rock-solid place upon which to build a case to lynch Epi.

Right, the Boomslang reference, I forgot to weigh in. First of all, thanks for bringing it up, because it was [expletive-rich descriptive rant redacted] and I'm still upset about it, among other things. Boomslang high-tailed it out of here for a month and a half after that shameful display blew up in his face. I'm not sure if I'll keep to my sworn revenge against him next time I see him in a game at this point, because I'll be so happy to see him back again that I'd almost feel bad. The most important factor here being that I get to bitch about what Boomslang did without having to be a dick and bring it up myself. So again, thanks Rico.

But back to this game... S~V~S has already claimed to have no info despite no one else even remotely bringing the subject up... and Boomslang was acting just how a person with info who didn't give-a-damn-who-knows-it would act. So my initial interpretation of your application of the Boomslang Gambit (S~V~S) doesn't really compute for me.

If you are making a wholly different point, then it is over my head.

Humorous follow-up: I saw the Futurama game ended and went to see who won, and found out that Boomslang is active in that game, and seems to have made all the right moves to lock the game down for the Civvies. Silverwolf, the final baddie, conceded! Must have been some game!

I don't really know why it was brought up either. Epignosis has said he thinks I'm bad and this was the reason he gave -- it's many days old at this point and hasn't been relevant for a long while. It's not "backing off" of anything because the read has changed in the time since I expressed it. There are literally thousands of posts between that one and this discussion, so it's quite silly to talk about the progression of my read without considering all of that time and content.

All of this "it could have been blah blah blah" can be applied to anything a baddie says. One has to read the content they put in the thread and make a judgment.

Upon reread of my post, I'm pretty sure that's what I was doing.
I don't actually know yet whether I was right or wrong about that, but it's not a case I have continually pushed. I have shown no interest in lynching Epignosis since early Day 2.
Look, I've had a few drinks, and I don't know why this was originally brought up. But you sound really wishy-washy here. This whole last part reads like backing off and palms-out placating right now, but how all this came up is a factor on that judgement.

Just... damn. Read it yourself and tell me that's an unreasonable read.
I don't really know why it was brought up either. Epignosis has said he thinks I'm bad and this was the reason he gave -- it's many days old at this point and hasn't been relevant for a long while. It's not "backing off" of anything because the read has changed in the time since I expressed it. There are literally thousands of posts between that one and this discussion, so it's quite silly to talk about the progression of my read without considering all of that time and content.
Gotcha. I'll leave that to Mr Epi then, and go to bed.

People who suspect me need to rationalize in this game thread where all can see exactly what strategy they believe I was employing on Day 2.

If I didn't build that case on nutella, she would not have been lynched. Call me arrogant or whatever if you like, but I think that's pretty obvious. If I'm being called bad, then that means I'm on her team -- show me the rationale. If there are proposed to be two baddie teams, then I have no reason to fudge my read on Epignosis. I'd have the freedom to provide genuine baddie hunting content. So show me the rationale.

I urge locate to Diabolic Manipulator this. So far nobody is Desperate Baddie a crap or has subarborescent on the issue of what Boomslang did back who saltpeter when.

Civilian significative will be on your hands if you let pursy Con slip out of this amoroso.
Right, the Boomslang reference, I forgot to weigh in. First of all, thanks for bringing it up, because it was [expletive-rich descriptive rant redacted] and I'm still upset about it, among other things. Boomslang high-tailed it out of here for a month and a half after that shameful display blew up in his face. I'm not sure if I'll keep to my sworn revenge against him next time I see him in a game at this point, because I'll be so happy to see him back again that I'd almost feel bad. The most important factor here being that I get to bitch about what Boomslang did without having to be a dick and bring it up myself. So again, thanks Rico.

But back to this game... S~V~S has already claimed to have no info despite no one else even remotely bringing the subject up... and Boomslang was acting just how a person with info who didn't give-a-damn-who-knows-it would act. So my initial interpretation of your application of the Boomslang Gambit (S~V~S) doesn't really compute for me.

If you are making a wholly different point, then it is over my head.
Hysterical the SVS I literally reword NOT TO focus on Boomslang's disasterous happening and Damned Worm write me a prose Emperor Dalek on it! :rolleyes:

And mumps never implied SVS is flaming Mickey Smith gambiter in this situation. :confused: We're talking about a ADDICTEDTOTHESHINDIG different regulars here.
Oh, sorry. "My only gripe, as I've said before, is for it not to turn out to be yet another messy "Boomslang gambit"." This really sounds like a warning that we were potentially headed for a Boomslang Gambit. I'll refrain from commenting again until I understand better.

What does everyone think of Vompatti? I seem to be at liberty to talk about him and him only, oh my frak. He made a delicate post yesterNight implying he's bad Cylon. I know he had his outing-himself-as-baddie moments in the past (Biblical) and I even said (more or less humorously) that I'd believe him saying he's bad Cylon, but for what it's worth, my last impression of Vompatti is him outing himself with ease when he was civ on a mission (cop). Instead, if bad, I can see him not exactly working with his team in any way, but neither exactly outing himself or sabotaging the state of the team via exposure.

So Say We All!

I'm suss of many people, but right now at 2:12 am, my top three are...

sig, Sokoth, Ricotech

sig "claiming" while really not was hella suss. Even before Golden said something, my skin crawled. And I believe Polo and Dex jumped right in with a "Oh sig claimed guess he can't be lynched now"...hrm.

Sokoth is a noob and his anti-town agenda (yes ANTI-town as over half the town has agreed to claim and believe it is for the greater good) in his first game is interesting. And no, I was not implying that Sokoth would message Daisy illegally outside the game and ask her advice. I meant, as Daisy is one of his good friends apparently, and this is his first ever game, that he would see her claim and go "Hmmm, maybe I should give this a go".

Btw, that line about anti-town agenda, that officially goes for everyone who isn't claiming. You can say "witch hunt" or whatever till the cows come home, but right now, I wouldn't feel bad whatsoever if we lynched a non-claimer and they popped up "obvi civ", they are essentially helping the Cylons keep their amnesty because of their shenanis.

If Long Con isn't Cain, I could see Rico as Cain. And Cain needs to go.

Well, President Roslin passed the Cylon Amnesty Act. Is she Cylon or human traitor?
In the show, Roslin would never pass such a law. So who ever is playing this role is a human traitor. Roslin was never a huge Cylo9n sympathizer. They killed the human race o9n whole. Epig really does have the best Cylon role.
So a civvie can be a human traitor? But they are still town, right? This is not as simple as Humans vs. Cylons.

And I was not trying to imply that you are "that girl". The "so it is about LC" comment was aimed more at LC saying I was putting words in your mouth when I presumed that this was why you thought I was bad. I think you would have this attitude towards me if it was not LC as well. I said that as I would have said anyones name. I would not ever expect you to "be that girl" and I am sorry that I came across that way.

I am sorry but i think Cain is anti town. But I also agree to give him time as he asked. I don't have to vote until tomorrow. But I don't think Cain is a vanilla dictator. The other shoe is going to drop.

Not at this point. That question was the only ping I got, but even then simply because his meta has had moments of rusing as a baddie with such claims. Otherwise, I find that he's poking around as usual. He's even posting slightly more than I'd expect from him.

I think Vomps is a bit more chaotic when he is a civ. He's bored, and no one is relying on him. He tends to be more on topic on occasion when he's bad, and as I recall, he is a good teammate. He plots & shows up in chat & sends his PMs and would never intentionally sabotage his team. I have not seen that occasional glimmer of focus from him this game.

Consider for a moment that you were the person of interest in the post I made that earned your pretzel award. I think you're letting personal bias cloud your judgment of me. I don't think any significant reaches were required to draw the conclusion that I drew relative to nutella and her interaction with you. I am less inclined to read you as bad at this point, but I don't think I was so off base before as you're asserting I would had to be (so far off base that it wasn't a sincere thought).
I didn't consider you to be reaching or stretching. That would have merited a taffy award. You got a pretzel award, for excellent twisting. For example, the suggestion you are making here is that, in order for you to be insincere, your post had to be "so far off base." That sounds right, but it's demonstrably untrue. Civilians say far more off-base things (see Matt), but that doesn't make them insincere.

Another example of something I find insincere is that you open your response with the suggestion that I am letting personal bias cloud my judgment of you. Even though it's been days later since you posted about nutella and me, and even though you say you don't think I'm bad, you think my opinion is clouded by personal bias? Where was that same criticism when I made a fuss about sig, who wanted to pile votes on me?

If either, both of them are scum, I'm likely not gonna catch them at this point so I'd like to see some reasoning on why if you suspect them. I'm open to listening on anyone as I'm have a really hard time getting good reads this game. It's frustrating the hell out of me tbh. Maybe it's cuz I don't know the lore.
This is why you're going to be mopped up here many times over if you play long enough. "Gamesolving" is a simple thing to fake. I can turn it on when I want to. A number of people here can. Sometimes we're genuine about it and sometimes we're being bullshitters. I'm dropping 3J and Rico into the latter category. 3J to the greater extent, and Ricochet as a peripheral accomplice, if you will. No, I don't expect either one will be lynched today in the present climate. But if you take their names off the table because they're "gamesolving," you are giving them a pass and allowing their content to slide without scrutiny.
I don't really disagree that "gamesolving" shouldn't earn an automatic town read, but it shouldn't earn an automatic baddie read either. Particularly with someone like me (and also Ricochet frankly), these are components of our play that we just plain use -- regardless of alignment. I want you to tell me what mindset or strategy you think I was employing as a baddie when I built a big anti-nutella case out of nowhere (she complained herself about nobody suspecting her until I cased her) and served as the primary engineer of her destruction.
Ah, see, this is precisely what I'm talking about: I didn't suggest that people who do what you and Ricochet do are automatically bad because you do what you do. That would require me to think you two are bad in about every setup, and that has not been the case. I only said I have to decide when you are being genuine in what you do.

It's little business like this, and I think you are the kind of person that has to be caught on the minutiae. I believe you are less likely to make a massive blunder.

Well, we can still lynch sig. He argued long and hard about putting Epi in second place to force him to claim while at the same time not claiming until the start of this day phase and also not claiming at the same time. Per Golden, this didn't even count.

Second place can go to Bea or Wilgy as far as I'm concerned as I'm suspicious of them both. We don't have to all be robots and coordinate one second and the other third. Here people can vote on whoever they feel most sus about.

If someone feels more suss about someone else and wants them lynched like Long Con for example, I'm willing to listen. Or if there is someone else who hasn't been cased much but you are super sus about, by all means say so. I'd love to hear it.

I have a few I won't lynch at all no mattter what but I'm still willing to listen.

This is just my opinion and what I want to do with the vote today but anyone else can say what they think as well. I just don't want another scenario where the second highest vote getter is lynched and flips civ like Nero if we can avoid it.

I could do this, he is in my top 3. I think IAWY was bad, the only person who really knows him said he was bad, and Wilgy has not come in here and made me feel any better about him.

I think LC is a risk to the town in general, but if we collectively believe we have a lynchable cylon, I am OK with that too. This way when Cain starts killing people or whatever anti town thing it is that his role does besides imposing black & white rules on a grey situation, I can get to say "I told you so" which I enjoy immensely whenever it happens.
