thats the last of the whining ill do this phase i promise but man this is a troll ass game right now

Do you know the hosts, JaggedJimmyJay and Sloonei at all?

not in host capacity

i like the flavor a lot

i like the idea of the concept

the implementation feels trollish from a mafia player expecting a mafia game perspective though

I would relax on that last point.

I have hosted here on this site more than anyone, and as you can see here, I have managed a long-term reputation of good balance.

If there is anyone I trust to create something balanced and fair, it is JJJ and Sloonei. I believe they are fair.

I say all this to get you and those like you to calm down. Assess the challenge before you and do the best you can. Stop acting like it's the end of the world that you can't see someone's role or the other thread.

But not votes. Hmm.

iaafr wrote: ↑Sat Nov 02, 2019 11:13 pm i still think pushes on me are lazy and if you really try to get in my head my thoughts are clearly real

the fact that i like to post noise doesnt change that ive actually been trying really hard this game idk

irritation with the game kinda spiraled out of control last phase but not in a scum indicative way?

i think doms and colins pushes on me are the worst and they are also the least transparent players with their reads on the rest of the game

Here was my summary of you:

There are a few positives up in here for iaafr. Despite the strong claim that Dragomir was a civilian, iaafr peeled himself away from that, commenting on Dragomir’s exchange with Evenstar. I’d like to think iaafr keeping the light on Dragomir was instrumental in getting him lynched. I also don’t mind that iaafr didn’t let the thread stagnate as the deadline loomed (not that it needed his help to avoid stagnation, but it’s nice to see).

However, there are certainly some things he’s going to have to answer for. The lynch poll is the primary means by which civilians win. No one had any justifiable reason to abstain from the vote but boo. That stinks. I also invite others to look at iaafr’s apparent change in attitude regarding Dragomir, going from civilian to bad and ultimately not voting him at a critical juncture (two minutes until the end of the poll).

That latter issue is a big one for me. Civilians who don't vote are useless civilians. They fail to lynch mafia and fail to give other civilians a means of understanding them. That's a double whammy. That's why, in this particular scenario, you make my list.

I have a rabbit in my sights. Maybe I should. Maybe I shouldn't.

Because we're here. Roll the bones.

Since isn't to moment: Epignosis, why are we here?

Since there isn't anything to discuss at moment: Pawn Lelouch, what kind of music do you like?

Since there isn't anything to discuss at the moment: Evenstar, why did you buy in to your Godfather theory to the extent that you did?

Whenever that fucking becomes possible again, that is to say.

And I'm interested in how these levels got grouped the way they are. Since it's likely not RNG, the question is if the GMs are controlling it with a clear criteria or if a player has the power to pick who moves down levels and who stays behind.

... is it common for janitors to be able to work on lynches? I don't get where you're getting this "janitor" idea from.

Yeah. Janitors pretty commonly work on lynches, otherwise their utility would be severely hampered. Clearing info from cops + gunsmiths are nice and all, but lynches are where the actual main use of the ability lies imo.

And I thought it was a guaranteed janitor since I saw it was boo, but was too busy finishing up my service learning for the day to look at the actual text closely and see that it strongly hinted mason before it was deleted. So I just saw redacted and kinda auto assumed janitor throughout the night since I believe it was one of the listed possible roles at the beginning and it fits with the info removal.

I don't agree with this.

At first I didn't understand your meaning, and perhaps it is true I still don't, but I think "[REDACTED]" simply is the hosts' way of saying that information is not going to be made public. In other words, boo gets the knowledge, but everyone else does not. It is up to us to look at Spiny's and boo's posts to determine who "[REDACTED] is."

So then... 11/5/9? We know there was a lynch on the bottom level thanks to JJJ's slipup, there was probably a kill too.

i feel like more people probably moved up from 1 to 2 based on that

Remind me what the slip up was. I’ve drank since day end.

he accidentally posted the lynch from the first level in our thread

And it was...

boo, damn their eyes.

Town? No flip? I feel I’d have remembered if it was a wolf.

You should have remembered it regardless. Evenstar posted it here not long ago:

Evenstar wrote: ↑Sat Nov 02, 2019 6:33 pm Here, I saved the wording of her flip:

"You are the subconscious aspect of conscientiousness.

You represent the mark’s steadfastness in the proper and thorough completion of tasks set before them.

You begin the game with the knowledge that REDACTED is an aspect of the subconscious and not an intruder.

REDACTED

You will win the game if all threats to the subconscious mind are eliminated."

Evenstar: I stand by what I wrote about her yesterday, and still don't quite understand what the disagreement is with my calling her a civilian. I realize she got frustrating during the back half of Day 2 (for me) because she was calling for my head over Godfather nonsense, but at no point did I feel inclined to question if she believed what she was spouting off. Her view was fair even though I 100% disagree with it (and 101% disagree with giving it so much credence). However, I believe she believed it, which is all that matters to me. Still, let's please not do that again. I do appreciate her regaining sense later on in the phase, so thank you for that.

Pawn Lelouch: Again, I stand by what I said about Mr. Front-Line Fodder. The Day 2 stuff largely had me nodding my head.

Master Radishes: My fellow academic was not afraid to get saucy with me early on Day 2. After engaging me and having at least a little bit of discussion I feel like I understand his mindset better and I think he understands mine. I felt like it was a productive Day 2 on that front with regard to my view on the Root Maestro. Civilian lock? Hardly. Civilian lock given the circumstances?

A kill on Nanook is probably important. You know. To someone who remembers his reads.

And now I hate the smug bastard even more.

Evenstar wrote: ↑Sat Nov 02, 2019 6:59 pm I'd also like to point out that we seem to be roughly halving each day

30/16/9/?

I would bet a dollar tomorrow is 5 players

as such I would really like Epignosis to hurry up and become obvtown today, assuming he can

That was my Halloween costume.

My opening three are ColinisCool, iaafr, JackofHearts2005.

There are nine of us, which makes the "Rule of Three" more manageable. Perhaps we should all list our trio to begin with, and see what names appear the most in order to generate a baseline regarding the initial collective mindset of this thread.

If that was a lynch, I'm glad I don't have contact with those responsible.

I wouldn't have any nice things to say.
