Before I reference individual posts I will say one thing: I don't think his post history looks anything like it did in Talking Heads. That could be good meta, or maybe he's just more comfortable in general regardless of role. Anyway...
Opens with a little snark. I like the attitude Floyd (more in terms of your comfort level than as an actual read).
Floyd is clearly displeased with Diiny on Day 1. I don't think his reaction here is warranted, but I also don't find it suspicious. There's a distinct tone of in this post that I think can be associated with an indignant townie. It's a small point though.
I believe Diiny gave Floyd some crap for making a read in this game after someone else had already made the same read. This highlighted portion shows Floyd lamenting about that very frustration well before that, and I think it reads genuinely. Diiny, what do you think of this?
I think Floyd's brevity here rubbed some people the wrong way and I can understand why, but I don't agree. He was clearly not keen on Diiny early in the game, and Mac called Diiny a top mafia read. The other names probably aren't as important to him with that single point of agreement in mind. Floyd, you should tell me whether I'm wrong about that.
The last few things are all from the same multi-quote post brought together. This time the brevity is a bit more problematic, because we haven't been told yet why Floyd was down on FZ and Wilgy. He took stances though and named suspects. At this point I think he has already well surpassed his early output in Talking Heads in terms of depth.
Yeah, that's dramatic. I'm not quite as bugged by this kind of thing as Diiny is, but I could still do without it.
Floyd is referring to "CFD" here, which was discussed a bit in Talking Heads. The language here is also rather dramatic -- it's a trend in Floyd's posts. I went to Dune to compare, but I see he was part of "The Emperor" faction. Were they good? Bad? Indy? Anyway he seemed less dramatic there but still posted the same Planet of the Apes gif.
Also dramatic. I don't know if he's exaggerating or is just flustered to be dealing with Epignosis.
This suggests it was the latter.
I'm no longer concerned about the dramatic language at least when he's talking to/about Epignosis. The "Epi" thing is a reasonable inspiration for dramatic language.

Though the content is limited, I think he seems pretty genuine in that he is conveying earnest irritation, and that he does seem to be trying. More substantive reads would be great though.

DrWilgy wrote:Diiny, the reason why I was so concerned about Enriques claim is because I had thought that I still had time to switch. Because of that thought, I had a good amount of time during the night to regret and think about my reaction with the mentality of "I could've done something different."

Why didn't you just say this in the first place?

MacDougall wrote: Floyd, man just surely not? He's looking scummy again now that he's made some posts but surely, just surely not. He can't be scum again. If we were playing roulette or blackjack I'd put all my chips on it. Chance cannot be that cruel? I think he'd have probably replaced out if he was bad again too. But, he really does look bad. Ick. Floyd please be civ and play like it if you are. Google some advice or something.

Unfortunately, I have no extremely strong feelings about anybody. My vote for now is going on Motel Room. It could go on Epignosis or DFaraday by days end unless I see a scum tell that turns out to be wrong with 15 minutes left to go and contribute to another civ lynch by lynching a town read.

The floyd paragraph is an annoying blip on an otherwise solid town game. Mac, are you admitting that you're being fallacious but that your gut still says he's not scum, or are you just genuinely relying on the gambler's fallacy here?

The latter paragraph would also annoy me but floyd then goes pretty hard on Motel which I like. I'll comment on Motel soon probably as that part of the thread comes up next iirc

MacDougall wrote:Here's a good reason that DFaraday is bad. He's been here but he hasn't pushed anybody for an actual reason despite being more or less caught up. He just stated two mild looks. Why wouldn't he at least ask a question in the minute he put in today so far? Why didn't he try to be civ at all?

Yeah, he looks like he's trying to look caught up rather than trying to play mafia.

MacDougall wrote: [Motel Room's] vote is on a scummy looking lurker right now after having a fluffy interaction with the guy on day 1. An alignment of either a) distancing or b) putting his vote on an easy out.

I liked the vote when I saw him make it tbh, I thought it was good of him to put some pressure on a lurker. It's sat there for far too long, though, and there's been very little pressure put on anyone else. Motel room is getting an iso before the day is done.

this is floyd's best post.

I wouldn't have been happy with anything but a similar response thing to Epi's comment about being called Epi, and he questions epi's stance on him as you'd expect. I'd like to see a bit more ferocity, but going on a per-post makes it better. Not that I'm condoning his low post count and that he seems to still be focusing almost entirely on himself. I doubt he'd have questioned epi if he wasn't crusading against him.

Still a scum read.

You actually make a very good point here. With my inexperienced and (self-confessed) awful Mafia skills, I do tend to focus on myself. I've done it on other games as well, I know. Epi's played in the same games as me a couple of times, so he's picked up the style of my generally awful play.

What I'm about to explain can prove Epi to be either town or scum, but what you decide it up to you.

You've got to pick up the easy meat with your eyes closed.

(I'm a Floyd fan, what do you expect?)

If Epi is scum, he's trying to rid of the easy meat (AKA me) to make a jump start on us.
If Epi is town, he's trying to rid of the easy meat (AKA me) as he assumes I'm an easy scum target.

Anyway, thanks for the compliment Diiny.

a2thezebra wrote:He looks too bad. I know that's kind of a cop-out on my part, but I have trouble supporting the lynch of a player whose actions seem too dangerous and too overtly transparent for a baddie to make. I'm in kind of the same place with Wilgy, although in Wilgy's case his actions are pure WIFOM whereas with motel room I think I could be more easily convinced that he's more likely low-key scum than bizarre town. Time will tell.

So, this point makes me feel a lot of feelings.

On one hand I disagree with the too bad to be bad argument. On the other hand, the logic I found odd about Wilgy's wifomminess not being an issue for zeb is used kinda fluently here which makes me think it's more likely that zeb actually believes it.

motel room ISO
I mean no offense to motel room when I say that this question seems rather dense. Whether Wilgy is town or mafia, I think it's pretty clear what benefits he might potentially enjoy as a result of his lie. It looks a bit like filler.
I think this post will be important later. Bookmark it.
I'm mildly fond of these. I think this manner of a'ight bro well here's some suspicion out of the blue is within motel room's town boundaries.
This is probably his worst post for me; I agree with Mac that it's not great. I could understand viewing Enrique's treatment of Doc and Diiny dubiously (I did), but I don't see why switching his vote between his suspects was a crime. Townies do this all the time. This might be a manufactured attack.
Valid question.
I like motel room adopting an "edgy" read because he's never been afraid to disagree with popular opinion -- it's one of his best town traits. His self-awareness is also appealing. My only question here is why motel room felt the need to announce the edgy read and its edginess.
I told you the reader to bookmark the earlier post because I knew this one was coming. I think they combine to evidence a pretty solid town-inclined mindset for motel room. He had this distinct thought in mind: that MP pulled a fake red peek in [maybe] his first open setup with legal infodumping. Let's return to the bookmarked post:
On Day 1, when confronted with Wilgy's fake red peek maneuver, motel room had the presence of mind to ask him this specific highlighted question: "have you played an infodumping-allowed game before?" This means that in this moment motel room was recalling what MP did in RYM #89 (faked a red peek as a vanilla townie) and applying that memory to Wilgy's move in this game. This looks like a very real effort to get a read on Wilgy based upon real data in motel room's personal Mafia arsenal. I love it.

~~~

Overall, there are a few moments that I'd question but I think he looks good in light of the bookmarked point. I welcome any dissenting perspectives -- I'd really like to know what MP thinks of motel room in light of this. And Diiny, since he also played in RYM #89.

I also really like that last Floyd post. If y'all gush them town tells then we can still have a chance in this mess via process of elimination.

Epi always bites back but not always convincingly. After all, I perceived his initial vote of you to be an OMGUS with no meat behind it. I think your suspicion of Epi was opportunistic because your were making out criticisms that were not alignment-indicative to be criticisms that made Epi look bad.

You keep saying this and I am not sure there is a plausible response other than "we disagree". While those things might be more applicable to Epi than to other people (I really haven't played with him that many times), I'd find them suspicious from most players and I made my case.

If you don't think it's alignment-indicative content then fine. I did.

You asked me to summarize what I had already said, so I did.

I want to hear YOUR opinion on Diiny.

For the record, I've always been perfectly okay with a Diiny lynch. Wilgy did look more dangerous for a bit, but really, as long as we get a bad guy today there's no rush. Lynching DrWilgy is taking too big a risk atm when we know so little about what he's trying to do.

I think Diiny is scum. I think DrWilgy most likely is but until Diiny is gone, we don't want to lynch him.

edgy as it may be I'm not as certain Diiny is scum

Why are you suspicious of me like you said?

Back in RYM land on pretty sure his first game with infodumping, MP tried a cop gambit which backfired on him but he made the move as town. A new game mechanic, town tries the tricks, imo.

so here, MP, while I think I agree with you, whats different about your gambit and his, because you were part of the reason I feel Wilgy was town but you are distancing from what he's done:

I know it can be hard to focus on things outside yourself and by all means if you're town you should be defending yourself when people vote for you, but you've still gotta find the scum after you save yourself. I need to see more of that, floyd, and I know it's hard (I remember my first game vividly) but you'll learn, and you'll learn by starting to question and interact with the content in the thread that doesn't necessarily concern you. Ask questions even if you're worried they'll make you look like an idiot, I definitely still do. I appreciate that paragraph, though. I had a similar moment... and I'm not going to say what that was until more people react to your paragraph.

Basically I think you're bad, but I've at least got a picture of what a town floyd looks like now. Make that picture more vivid if you're town. Question people. Post. Present evidence and findings. And most importantly, don't be afraid to take a stance. and goddamn tell me why it's suspicious that I voted enrique in self preservation. If you'd never considered what I posted in my rant, you can just admit as much.

If Epi is scum, he's trying to rid of the easy meat (AKA me) to make a jump start on us.
If Epi is town, he's trying to rid of the easy meat (AKA me) as he assumes I'm an easy scum target.

Yes, pushing the easy button is something scum like to do. What about how obviously he's been doing it, though? How does that make you feel? I'll say how I feel about it after you answer, because I have a fear that you've been piggybacking opinions this game which isn't good.

What does the second (epi town) option mean? "He assumes I'm an easy scum target so he's trying to take me out because he's town." Does easy scum target mean someone the scum would try to sell as bad? In this case I have no idea what you mean.

You sound like an unrepentant bully. Even if it was an attempt at humour it was mean spirited. You don't have to add to it with arrogance. It was only obvious nonsense to you. I think it's a good look for those who called you out on it and tbh it's a bad look for you.

I can see where Jimmy is getting the idea that you and Floyd are teammies. You came straight out of the gate with what can be construed as strong distancing, and your inability to understand that it appeared hurtful is possibly coming from the fact that you know full well that he isn't upset by it because you've talked in BTSC. You've also managed to get Floyd top town read by a range of players by putting him in the position of the victim.

Perhaps a better term than "strong desire to defend Floyd" would be "strong inclination to town read Floyd". Yes, I did defend Floyd to some degree because I didn't think his attacker could justify his attacks. I never called him a town read though. I never gave any actual read of him, because on Day 1 having a read on Floyd would have been bullshit.

As for dibs, you're damned right. You said the same thing about me. If he's bad, see you then.

If you think this, then what do you make of Diiny's read of Floyd on Day 1? I remember him expressing a mafia Floyd read before EoD D1.

Why "can't?"

Is there some restriction on me?

I'll talk about what I like. I have nothing to say about it.

I want to lynch FLOYD.

What is wrong with you? Seriously, tell me.

Anyway, another needless "last minute lynch switch" (it's got another name, I know, I can't be bothered remembering it). Diiny

Linki- I agree FZ, this game is getting pretty awful.

Floyd, I don't recall any thoughts you've made on Diiny to explain your vote here or previously. Care to provide some insight?

Voted Enrique, inconsistent chat (my reason for voting on day one is an example).

Floyd, sorry, I'm confused. What do you mean by inconsistent chat?

Tinfoil hat on...

Jimmy, Epi and Floyd are the bad guys.

What would you expect the in game play to look like with this team wearing the black hats?

I would expect it to look exactly like it is.

This game is too short for him to be not contributing. 3 posts in this game so far is not good enough. I checked and he has not been online since at all, so he's clearly just got life in the way. Can you find a replacement quickly? Anyone observing want in?

You may or may not have a new player in his place come Day 3.

You call me Epi (have we ever played together to any extent?).

Now a question for you: What is this:

2. Epi has done his only clever motion this game, but still wants me exterminated.

What does that mean?

You put it on yourself, man. I have no idea what you've got against me, but whatever it is, just share it.

Am I not permitted to call you Epi? Give me a reason not to.

My statement refers to he fact that pointed out that Mac gone against his word but you still want me gone.

I'm no longer concerned about the dramatic language at least when he's talking to/about Epignosis. The "Epi" thing is a reasonable inspiration for dramatic language.

I'm still chuckling that many are taking the "Epi" part of my post so seriously.

Dude you are doing that thing where you a rude to a person for no reason then say "heh only joking lighten up". Don't be that guy. That guy sucks.

I don't agree that I was being rude. I don't use sarcastic orange because if you have to explain the joke, it isn't funny. Moreover, I find value in how seriously some people took what I said. Getting reactions over something that (to me) was obvious nonsense, I think, provides something to look back upon, no?

You sound like an unrepentant bully. Even if it was an attempt at humour it was mean spirited. You don't have to add to it with arrogance. It was only obvious nonsense to you. I think it's a good look for those who called you out on it and tbh it's a bad look for you.

I can see where Jimmy is getting the idea that you and Floyd are teammies. You came straight out of the gate with what can be construed as strong distancing, and your inability to understand that it appeared hurtful is possibly coming from the fact that you know full well that he isn't upset by it because you've talked in BTSC. You've also managed to get Floyd top town read by a range of players by putting him in the position of the victim.

So motel room ain't working out for you, so you've got to go to "unrepentant bully" angle, eh, old man?

I told Floyd he was bad because he called me Epi. Oh God, I'm such a bully.

And *I* "managed to get Floyd top town read by a range of players by putting him in the position of the victim." I must be amazing. I bet you wish I was on your team.

Epignosis and Jimmy are very good players and Floyd is very inexperienced. What better way to get the heat off Floyd than by attacking him with unfounded suspicion. Nobody is going to just railroad the poor kid on day 1 or day 2 because Epi comes at him caseless and baseless. And if you don't make a play like that to help Floyd he naturally attracts suspicion like nobody's business. Epignosis has effectively completely achieved the opposite of his stated initial objective, he has made Floyd a town read for most. Do you think that is by accident?

Jimmy took the opposite approach. He's distancing by killing with kindness and at the same time distancing from Epignosis by going hard at him for the weak Floyd read. If Floyd manages to get killed then Jimmy can play the "well if I was a teammate I would never have defended him that much card" and if Epi gets killed Jimmy looks million buck for being his main adversary.

Epignosis and Jimmy's shit slinging match has been exhaustive, and as Zebra pointed out much of what they have pointed out about one another has been inconsistent play, not necessarily alignment indicative stuff. Jimmy has dialed back his read to Epi as wrong, not manipulative at one point and yet still has his vote on him.

They have played exactly as I would expect them to if they were a scum team.
