Your second and fourth points about Wilgy are agreeable to me, Sloonei. "It makes me baddie read you" is face value scummy.

I moved my vote to INH because the drive-bys seem to be coming in now.
An astute point.

I feel a bit worse about trice and Wilgy.
Let's talk about them! I'm particularly interested in Wilgy at the moment.
trice fell in my "weak town" range whereas Wilgy fell in my "very weak town" range, so I'm conflicted on what to think of them. I'd move them both at least down one category for the time being.

What do you think of them?
I just shared some Wilgy thoughts. Prior to compiling that post, I had no real thoughts on him and only these recent developments have inspired me to examine him. Trice has looked pretty good to me so far and I don't think his vote on Epi necessarily looks bad. It's been there for a while and I can see reason to be wary of a player who is doing what Epi's doing; I just don't think it's something Epi would do if he was bad, and in the current context of the thread he looks good. But trice's vote has been there for a while.
Which is to say Wilgy looks worse than Trice right now.

I'd agree with all of that.

It didn't bother me at the time and even seemed genuine, but upon reflection I see the clear potential for manufactured content.

Why is that face value scummy? Because it's vague?

I can never make sense of him.
Starting with his vote for me following Sloonei's vote and then on to his gleeful [temporary] move to INH at Golden's request, it looked to me like he didn't care about his vote and was just being a wacky crazy Marmot for the sake of it. Then his vote for Boomslang made little sense to me given that the content used to describe that vote was actually critical of timmer. He acknowledged that at my prod and moved his vote to timmer, but I still don't understand why he started on Boomslang. I also think the timing-based accusation is rather meh in general.
That's all fair. I feel similarly. I'm not inspired by him. He feels remotely genuine to me though, not really sure why.

I almost always defer to my gut with mr marmot. I've very rarely seen him live long enough to exit his Wacky WIFOM stage, and trying to analyze him at that point is not a thing I can do and remain sane.

I'd agree that I am less bothered by trice's Epi vote than the other two. He hasn't been around here in a while, and to see this brand of Epignosis in his return would be an understandably bizarre thing.

My initial instinct says no; I think I'd still rather gut INH. I wouldn't be too opposed though.

It's not something I could substantiate with evidence, but I think townies are less inclined to think about other players in that way. Instead of "stop it, that makes me baddie read you", it's "you're doing something suspicious, answer for it". The former is sort of passive-aggressive, like it's an accusation without any edge that the accuser doesn't want to invest in.

Posted: **Sat Dec 03, 2016 7:20 pm**

I would rather CFD Scotty than Wilgy, but even still I think INH is a worthwhile spot right now. The sheer lack of resistance combined with the illogical nature of INH's behavior is a bit nervewraking though.

Huh, that's sensible enough. Never would have thought of it that way, but that makes sense.

I could conceivably go for any of Scotty, INH, or Wilgy right now, but none of them are here so I'm inclined to just stick with INH. Blindside lynching an absentee is the worst, even if they flip bad.

Wilgy, get in here so I can lynch you!

Typically I look at CFDs when there is a combination of 1) late phase chatter makes me second guess my current vote and 2) another good option is readily visible. In this scenario I don't have #1.

If I understand you correctly, your point reflects your perspective of how INH's behavior would or would not develop specifically in relation to his relationship with MP. Correct? I don't think that's the most meaningful thing because I don't think INH's approach ever changed so much as MP's interpretation of his play changed.

This is eloquently stated, and yeah, I agree. INH's potential scum-aligned tactic of actively discrediting POE and generating content as a smokescreen exists independent of my read of him.

Epi

I hate this post. Scotty has been a baddie with Epi at least twice to my memory (Red vs. Blue and The Office); he'd have a better understanding than most of Epi's investment in playing the bad game. He's the last person that ever needs to "hide behind a crutch".

Your call. If you think it'll actually get some use then go for it.

Posted: **Sat Dec 03, 2016 7:44 pm**

Sloonei, I'm not too sure how to answer your question with any conviction because I'm really not sure what to think of Dom. A large part of it is definitely gut, but I thought I had a bit more to town read him than I actually do, upon recollection. There's this at least:

Spoiler: show

But I do see a lack of townie fire/spark in him and plenty of potential for manufactured content in his posts. I don't know. He could very easily be a mafia read; it was mostly a current gut-based assertion.

Posted: **Sat Dec 03, 2016 7:44 pm**

I am being pulled away by social obligations with 15 minutes to go before the deadline. Oh well. I'm comfortable enough with my vote on INH. I endorse his lynch. I do not endorse lynching Epi. Do good and hope for a bad flip, townies.

I use semi-colons way more than any human being probably should. Why wouldn't I? They're the best.

You're bad.

That is basically my first post, yes.

But I was referring to JJJ.

I think you and JJJ are Spanish inquisitioning this game and I can't help but think there's a ton of manipulation there.

I'm not bad but I fear that I will be vigi shot at some point. It's whatever. I get it. I'll work to address stuff like 12 pages back about semantics but I dot even remember what I've been talking about.

IvE got a lot on my plate right now;I still love the game of mafia but I'm very close to subbing out. Something I told myself I would never do. But I don't have time to answer appropriately to McCarthy right now. I just don't need it in my life

Son of a...I missed the vote entirely. Just remembered that it was about to occur. RIP INH.
