No deal. I don't understand how it's harder to lynch Jack later. If this were a job or side mission, I might agree with you, but this is a heist, and I don't believe the mafia will win because an outed teammate is left alone for a while.

Here's an exercise: Jack isn't outed. You are a role checker who caught him. Now you're looking for his team. Who are they?

Too bad we had to do this on the Day 1 lynch, or there would have been more to read into. After that, it's like being a rolechecker reading into a baddie who knows his role has been checked.

In some instances, "no lynch" is an option. If you're stumped, vote the no lynch option, which in this case is Jack. But I am not convinced anyone here is stumped. Very few have even tried.

To answer Epi's question, If I had to pick teammates for Jack right now, they would be Wilgy and Notsawyer. (I finally accomplished my promised reread of Notsawyer, and I feel no better about him. His day 1 posting was Waffle House.) I remain of the opinion that it's better to lynch a sure thing earlier and take risks later, due to greater volume of in-thread info.

Why do people think "waffling" means you're bad? It isn't hard to be bad and take firm stances. I do it all the time.

Llama, for notsawyer to be bad, that would mean he is on Jack's team. You know, the guy you kept mixing him up with. Do their interactions look like teammate interactions?

I regard waffling as a baddie tell, simply because I've seen it be a baddie tell so many times. There is a tendency to want to cover one's back. If you don't mind me saying so, you are a more accomplished baddie than most. Others who lack your confidence get nervous about sticking their neck out when bad, and prefer to try to have things both ways. To sound "reasonable". I understand this, as when I began my mafia career, I frequently got lynched for coming on too strong and being unreasonable (although this seems to have diminished in recent years.)

Yes, I looked at their interactions. I didn't see anything there that definitively said "teammates" to me, but neither did I see anything to rule it out (unlike Long Con's, which DEFINITIVELY PROVE that he's not a Jack teammate.) Yeah, I think it's possible.

Per FZ's defense to your accusation earlier, she made a particular statement about "knowning her own role and no one else's". With this in mind, wouldn't a civilian have just as much if not more reason to waffle, based on their lack of knowledge?

There's this post, where SVS wants to push discussion down an avenue other than Jack. Fine, that makes sense.


But we haven't seen one from her yet. Votes aside, other players are discussing potential teammates of jack., and SVS hasn't participated.

S~V~S left her vote on Quin Day 1 after a dispute, and now she shows no interest in finding Jack's team, making weak excuses about him being a distraction. She also acted like I was an insane person for suggesting she would kill Eloh when she has complained before about mafia killing high profile people. She wanted to mince words about being a low-poster versus being blendy.

None of this agrees with me.

And here's a case of WIFOM for you, but jack has only talked on topic to two players since his reveal: Epignosis, who he's spent the majority of time talking to, and SVS, who he addressed with this single post.

Were there any S~V~S-Jack interactions before the Day 1 reveal?

If S~V~S is Jack's teammate, is there a reason why she would want to stop investigation into his posts? If there is nothing connecting S~V~S to Jack in those Day 1 posts, then a baddie S~V~S would be more than happy to bless a full investigation that could easily implicate others.

I agree with the majority of these points.

Additionally, SVS's playstyle tends to clash with mine. When I've suspected her in the past, and she's civilian, she has responded to my suspicions with a vengeance. But in this game, she has yet to address my suspicion, or anyone's really.

I have two reservations:
1. the part where he randomly chooses a low poster. That's poor hunting, and I think Scotty is smarter than that. 2. I also understand where he's coming from, with his suspicion of the marmot. He tends to lay low and be more fluffy when he's bad.

Gtth, if you will.
I'd say Scotty.

Epi, couldn't flipping a coin just be a figure of speech?
All of the above read like someone who's trying to cover their bases regardless of the lynch outcome. She expresses suspicion, then gives herself outs.
That doesn't make any sense to me. If FZ. is bad and MacDougall isn't on her team, then what bases is she covering? She would know that lynching either would not eliminate someone from her team. She would have no reservations about lynching someone who isn't on her team. At best, your accusation can only be interpreted to mean that FZ. faked her restraint.

Otherwise, your accusation only makes sense if she and MacDougall are bad together with the now exposed JackofHearts, but you didn't mention MacDougall in your pool of suspects. :shrug2:
What I was trying to say is that it read like FZ didn't want to commit too strongly, so that if Scotty came back civ, she wouldn't look like she was pushing for his lynch too hard. Of course she would know he wasn't Mafia, but he could also (and was) a dangerous Indy, and helping to lynch an Indy would not look as bad as lynching a civ.

No. But if I find it suspicious I'm going to say so. I want a dialogue.

I wasn't talking abour drawbacks in YOUR argument; I was talking about
You saying you found it suspicious that he was qualifying his opinion. It was essentially a rhetorical question. "Are you always so sure of your own opinions that you find someone who can see both sides of a suspicion questionable?".
Oh. :noble:

No, I don't. But I do find the act of discrediting one's own opinion to be innately suspicious. There's a difference between that and just not being sure.

I'd rather vote Jack if it's between them. That said, I am starting to see the merit in lynching someone else. We learn more from lynching someone else. If we lynch another baddie, that's a great result, and if we lynch a civ, we see where each person was going with his vote. So perhaps voting Jack is now the easy way out for the baddies. :ponder:

I just figured you were kicking it old school and not doing a poll thread. That thread is great but it spoils people. I remember games where people spent hours in thread reconstructing polls. Don't want to do that again, lol.

@Epi, is that something Wilgy does, goof around with teammates in thread? I don't recall him really much interacting in thread with his team in last years GOC but otherwise I don't have much basis of comparison. Because unless he does that seems like a rather null action to me.

Also in your read back of Jack what were your thoughts on his posts regarding the discussion Quin and I had, and Jacks interpretation of it.

Same question for Quin, actually.
Here is what I could find regarding Jack's interpretation of the discussion between Quin and S~V~S:

You had the chance to reiterate your point. Why didn't you take it, and instead choose to believe that I'm (assumedly purposefully) misinterpreting your question?
Quin, aren't you known for having several page long arguments over nuances of language aka talking in circles?

I don't fault S-V-S for this at all. That said, I don't think it's necessarily a scumtell for you so. :shrug2:

And that's all I have to say about that.
In other words, Jack approved of S~V~S's vote even though he didn't believe Quin is bad.

Me too!

I don't really find Quin suspicious. But then again this is only my second game on this site and there are only a couple people I know well enough to make judgments on. Getting a civ read on LC. Not really sure if going after low posters is a good idea here, but I don't really have any better ideas yet, so it may come to that for me.

I'm a civ and I support Hillary Clinton.

Other than that, it usually takes me a few cycles to start putting things together. If Ron Swanson were in this game, I'd say he's guilty as shit for three days before realizing it was Donna right before I'm killed! :haha:

Anyway I'm gonna get back to watching TV and nursing this hangover. I'll check back in periodically.
Discrediting your own opinion on an argument while still making a point of giving it never looks good to me.
Why? Are you always so sure of your own opinion that you can't see the drawbacks in your own argument?
No. But if I find it suspicious I'm going to say so. I want a dialogue.

What are the drawbacks in my argument?
I wasn't talking about drawbacks in YOUR argument; I was talking about
You saying you found it suspicious that he was qualifying his opinion. It was essentially a rhetorical question. "Are you always so sure of your own opinions that you find someone who can see both sides of a suspicion questionable?".
Oh. :noble:

No, I don't. But I do find the act of discrediting one's own opinion to be innately suspicious. There's a difference between that and just not being sure.
Quin: "No, you don't" what? :ponder:

Hmm, at the risk of playing the devil's advocate, I don't think the fact SVS celebrated first and then asked about the alignments necessarily makes her bad. You come in, you skim the results, see it's not a civ, and also that there is something going on and the others' posts look like something good happened, so you celebrate. Only then do you actually dive into the results.

The part where SVS doesn't really give any suspects or tries to hunt for them makes me much more worried than the thing mentioned above, though. She claims that it just annoys her that we're not voting Jack, but why not discuss things in the meantime anyway?

I always expect baddies to do a better job and look like they are actually hunting, so I don't like to lynch those not trying hard enough, because it seems too easy. But playing on this site has taught me that plenty of baddies don't try hard enough, so I don't know. Maybe SVS is not in the mood to play that much and didn't like getting to be a baddie. :shrug:

This is what I think is the case.

Additionally, the mafia had a teammate exposed on Day 1 in addition to having a potential ally lynched. I would expect them to be annoyed.

I used addition twice to reference the same thing. Bad marmot. :disappoint:

That is a good point.

I usually clash with SVS when we play together, mostly when we are both civvies. It hasn't happened yet this game, so I'm not sure what to make of it either.

Say it is SVS. Who would be bad with her?

I'm ok with this. It'll shed light on my DF suspicion anyways.

Jack. :grin:

Do I need to find another potential teammate to justify my suspicion?

Some of his posts feel to me like how I would play when mafia, by trying to look helpful in his attempt to analyse the host's post, and by looking like he's doing some serious hunting, while it doesn't feel genuine to me.
I have two reservations:
1. the part where he randomly chooses a low poster. That's poor hunting, and I think Scotty is smarter than that. 2. I also understand where he's coming from, with his suspicion of the marmot. He tends to lay low and be more fluffy when he's bad.
So :ponder:

If only one of them is bad, which is it?

Gtth, if you will.
I'd say Scotty.

Epi, couldn't flipping a coin just be a figure of speech?
All of the above read like someone who's trying to cover their bases regardless of the lynch outcome. She expresses suspicion, then gives herself outs.
That doesn't make any sense to me. If FZ. is bad and MacDougall isn't on her team, then what bases is she covering? She would know that lynching either would not eliminate someone from her team. She would have no reservations about lynching someone who isn't on her team. At best, your accusation can only be interpreted to mean that FZ. faked her restraint.

Otherwise, your accusation only makes sense if she and MacDougall are bad together with the now exposed JackofHearts, but you didn't mention MacDougall in your pool of suspects. :shrug2:
What I was trying to say is that it read like FZ didn't want to commit too strongly, so that if Scotty came back civ, she wouldn't look like she was pushing for his lynch too hard. Of course she would know he wasn't Mafia, but he could also (and was) a dangerous Indy, and helping to lynch an Indy would not look as bad as lynching a civ.

Anyway, I'm voting Jack right now for self-preservation.
Unvote me, plz. We're voting SVS, now.

No, but it would be nice to find connections before we lynch someone.
