Not reposting all that, I'd prolly mess it up again. This is way much more then "wild theories". This is in thread evidence at it's finest. I also apologize that 73% of my case is based off what the Mafia did...maybe next time ask your teammates not to defend you so much (LC, Mac) or tell the thread how super awesome your posts are (Black Rock).

If you found Matt's accusation flippant and unnecessary, why don't you challenge it as such? I'm on the other end of such an accusation and when that happens, I'll defend myself.

If you had read my posts you'd have seen the part where I abandoned catching up because it was pointless and would only make me further behind overall. I thought Golden was civ because I didn't think a baddie would be so pushy and coercive in trying to make people lynch him. That left me to think he had to be a civ. Therefore I didn't want him dead.Epignosis wrote:
There are a few other posts like this...
Bullzeye refuses to vote for Golden, because Bullzeye thinks Golden is a civilian. This is Day 3. Bullzeye replaced sanmateo Day 2 and had 27.5 pages to read. Why would Bullzeye think Golden is a civilian at this stage?
He was defending LC, which made me suspicious of him. Then he did his ridiculous self-outing thing and I decided I didn't think a baddie would act the way he was doing.Epignosis wrote:How did Bullzeye go from suspecting Golden on the same Day so quickly?
What do you think it means? I have already explained why I said it: Golden, in my opinion, sacrificed a civ in order to gain status within the thread. I didn't find that to be something worthy of praise.Epignosis wrote:That is the only explanation offered. When bea gets lynched, Bullzeye mocks Golden:Bullzeye wrote:Yay, 2-ish pages is much easier to catch up on. Welcome to the game Fuzz, I don't envy your catchup at all. I will probably be changing my vote today, as I feel more reasonable about Sorsha. However I was going to move it to Epi until he came in being all genuine and making so much sense. He won't be getting my vote either. Nor will Golden. I don't know what game he's playing but it's ridiculous and disruptive and I don't see why a baddie would ever do such a thing so blatantly. I don't think he's bad and I won't take whatever bait he thinks he's thrown out there.
What does this mean?Bullzeye wrote:So Golden's big scheme that we should've all gone along with or be considered suspicious was... to kill a civvie? Good work!
A question was asked. I saw it and answered it.Epignosis wrote:Why did Bullzeye answer this? As far as I can tell, he's the only one who did.
For the past few days I've barely been reading along because I haven't had time, I've been getting 2-3 hours a day of free time and I'd have to spend half of it catching up and the other half playing if I wanted to keep afloat in this game. I've been voting for my own suspects and often not even checking the poll before I do so.Epignosis wrote:The Day MacDougall got lynched, Bullzeye was the sole voter for bcornett24.
Now this is something I want to emphasize: In my experience, when Bullzeye is called bad, his retorts can be caustic and nerve-wracking to the accuser. I went against him a few times and he breathed fire through the Internet.
Here, MacDougall has been calling Bullzeye bad, but Bullzeye just shrugged it off:
Looking back I think I just meant the fact Golden had been defending LC. I was waffling a little perhaps. It also can't be inconsistent with something that hadn't happened yet. Opinions can change over time. I thought he looked bad and then he started trying to draw/force attention onto himself. As far as being tame towards Mac, I'm not sure how many times I need to repeat that I just didn't think he was worth taking seriously.JaggedJimmyJay wrote:I reviewed your case on Bullzeye, Epi. I think you raise good points, particularly Bullzeye's awkward piggybacking of my Day 2 (?) beef with Golden. It's inconsistent with his prior stated civ read on Golden, and it also makes no sense for him to have the same mindset about Golden that I had when my mindset was completely based on my own interaction with Golden. Bullzeye can't exist inside my head.
I very much disagree with this summary of my character.Russtifinko wrote: I have played with Bullz a number of times, and mainly when he's been a baddie, I believe. The one thing I remember well is that he gets HYPER defensive over relatively little things, and generally over defends himself and convinces everyone he's bad.

As you pointed out, I was bad in that game. Besides, I only got annoyed with Rabbit and that was for two reasons: He claimed I was lying about how busy I was and using uni as an excuse, and his entire case hinged on him making judgements of how I would act as if he knew me well when we'd played once together several years ago.Metalmarsh89 wrote:Harry Stephen Keeler rings a bell.JaggedJimmyJay wrote:Has he had any spectacular flameouts as a townie?Russtifinko wrote:I have played with Bullz a number of times, and mainly when he's been a baddie, I believe.

LMS isn't a relevant example. It was last man standing. You were the biggest threat to me, since you'd decided to try to push my lynch. So I decided to try to get you killed.

My point in all this is that Bullzeye seemed perfectly fine with MacDougall calling him bad.
That's unlike him if he's a civilian, from my experience.
Boogs is probably one of my closest mafia friends. He knows how much I hate infodumps and how they've ruined so many games for me. He still chose to pretty much out me as bad despite all that. At the time I also genuinely believed he was responsible for silencing me the same day he decided to come out with info. So I was very upset with him. Water under the bridge now but at the time I was hurt by his actions. The infodump LC suggested had happened was a genuine misunderstanding. As you'll probably remember, roles were revealed as they died in MP. I had been told the name of the role that silenced me one night. Bea(?) was later lynched and revealed as that role but the post must have taken a while to be updated with her abilities, I assumed it already had been since I didn't check because I knew already.Metalmarsh89 wrote:http://www.mafiathesyndicate.com/viewto ... 041#p87041Epignosis wrote:Flash was unconventional, but Bullzeye and I had a good back and forth (I was "bad", but I don't consider Flash a true Mafia game).

Monty Python. Here's a normal mafia game (closed setup). Bullzeye is mafia, and Long Con is his teammate. Long Con says Bullzeye is info-dumping, but Bullzeye "shrugs it off", even while he is heatedly calling Boogs a liar for his accusations.
Took me awhile. But you're right, he didn't call me delusional. It was "bewilderingly insane". M'bad.MacDougall wrote:I think it's entirely fair to say that at this point anybody who has their vote on me is obvious scum, and anybody who has suggested that MattF is anything other than bewilderingly insane is also obvious scum.

As for the first part, my impression was that you were trying to get RadicalFuzz lynched. Is that not the case? If not, I interpreted your intent wrong. I'm saying that, if you are trying to get Fuzz lynched, I'm wary because it seems too easy. Regarding the second part of the post, where I accused you of going after easy targets:JaggedJimmyJay wrote:In the case of those RadicalFuzz responses, which is it?Russtifinko wrote:JJJ, I'd agree with you that it looks somewhat bad. And I am pretty sure your perspective on this is obvious, since you voted for Fuzz yesterday. But I'd think that you of all people would be interested in when a candidate looks TOO bad. I mean, you're telling us you're civ, and you were neck deep in Mac defense.
Sure, it isn't uncommon for someone to do something that looks so bad that it is a town tell. This is obviously dangerous WIFOM territory, but I've made reads like that before. I don't understand why you're making mention of this now though -- have I made an accusation in recent memory against a player that suits the notion of looking "too bad"? You've made an assertion that my content can be described in a specific way, but without specific examples you've said very little.
Yellow: This is, as I see it, common sense -- both my approach to Rico's lynch-deciding vote and your parenthetical implication. Yes, I am inclined to think things through before I raise my pitchfork and torch. Rico made a vote that can be perceived as less than ideal, and I prompted him to describe what brought him to make that vote. If I am to judge his vote fairly, he should have the opportunity to express himself. Moreover, this game has featured quite a lot of knee-jerk scumhunting and it's truly begun to grate on me. So I thought conveying a level head might promote a healthier discussion in general.Russtifinko wrote:I was also a little surprised at you telling Rico you wouldn't IMMEDIATELY crucify him after today's result (implying that you might crucify him later if you didn't like his explanation). The past few days, I've felt like you're much more interested in finding easy people to lynch over yourself instead of finding baddies. You're still posting quality content, don't get me wrong, but it seems like you're picking on weaker targets and that you're going more with the flow of suspicions than you were before.
As for the parenthetical: if I don't like Rico's explanation then yes I would be more likely to take a harder stance against him. If I don't like anyone's explanation for anything I would be more likely to take a harder stance against them. Isn't that the whole point of this thing we do called Mafia?
Orange: This is quite an accusation to make. You're telling me that I am trying to press the easy button in my suspicions for the sake of my own survival -- but again you haven't given me an example that suits that accusation. Who are the weaker targets that I have picked on? What makes you call them "weaker"?
I don't think your accusation reflects my content. On Day 7, my vote was always going to end up on either Floyd or Seaside simply because of self-preservation, and I was too exasperated by being Public Enemy #1 to try to push a case myself (who would have followed me then anyway?). On Day 8, I engaged in a bunch of different discussions, voiced my suspicions as ever before, and ended up deciding the lynch with my vote -- Floyd over MM. That's not "going with the flow" -- that's shouldering a heavy load and taking responsibility for an action that'd significantly affect the game for better or for worse.
On Day 9, "going with the flow" is the complete opposite of what I did, and the fact that you make that observation now really strikes me as disingenuous. I couldn't have possibly "gone with the flow" when I pursued a RadicalFuzz lynch, because I built the case against him myself. I drove that train. I didn't openly oppose a sig lynch because he was also a suspect of mine, but I made it clear down to the final minutes of the day phase that I wanted to lynch Fuzz based upon my own analysis of his content. He wasn't an "easy target" either, because prior to Day 9 he was a near-consensus town read.
Now it's Night 9 and I still think Fuzz is an important player to be discussed. So I'm continuing that discussion. What else would you expect of me under the circumstances?

It is not customary to step outside the microcosm of a particular game and judge interactions happening in any other games as having any bearing to the possible interactions in this one. That is not what multiple games running at the same times are for on this website.Matt F wrote:Typically, looking at other current games doesn't interest me as far as finding evidence one way or another for someone's towniness or scumness, however I saw this post in Long Con's current game...

Anyway, as I said, nothing can really be done besides speculate one way or the other, but I found that exchange interesting.
Doctor, doctor, tell me what I am.Matt F wrote:Well, on the off chance it is super awesome scheming by baddies, then I would say it is relevant to our thread as well. Also, as I said, I can't recall a circumstance where I've reached into another game to do that, but the specific "nice to meet you" piqued my curiosity.
But I'm glad you're back to responding as opposed to ignoring the multi-point case against you by posting lyrics.
Let me ask you, if you weren't the suspect of that case, and we switched the name to someone else, what would you think of it? Not just any one point, either, but all of it as a whole. You're right, though, a lot of it is based on baddie behavior (and not yours), and I've yet to ISO you focusing on the other Mafia.

There's nothing wrong with having multiple suspicions. Nothing at all, really. I've also spoken, frequently btw, on who I believe to be civvie or anti-mafia in this game, it isn't simply pointing fingers. Who do you find suspicious, Epignosis? Do you have any ideas or do you just plan on tearing people down who do?Epignosis wrote:Matt, I'm going to level with you.
If you are a civilian, you stink.
You load the thread with inconsistent things. 3J and I are scum buddies yesterday and Rico's gotta be lynched next.
Bottom line:
No one takes you seriously.
There's a reason for that. You are all over the place.

Now in these posts, you and Ricochet are "noticing how much 3J has painted Mac town". Then later MacD jokes "you cracked the case blah blah blah and in a twist of fate you two are our teammates."MacDougall wrote:You cracked the case guys. Jimmy has been publicly orchestrating town lynches on purpose while maintaining a vocal town read on a teammate and we both bussed Long Con on day 2 because he asked us to.
Or we are both townies who have a town read on each other and both had a scum read on a scum player.
And in a twist of fate you two are our teammates.

As you have seen, btw, whenever I do post a "Let's lynch this person, guys!", it doesn't work out. I wanted MacDougall Day 5, we lynched espers instead. Wanted Floyd Day 7, we lynched seaside. I did want Sorsha for several days, and I do apologize for that one, but even then, I doubt it was because I asked for it. So in that regard, what is your problem with it? It's not as if I'm leading lynches here and getting civilians killed. That was you on Day 7 when 3J was pretty much done for, and you started the train on seaside.
