Have civilians ever won in a recruitment / map game?

I was really hoping Matt F would get to play his new role. That would have really fucked up the bad guys. You played an excellent game Matt, it was really fun hosting you.

To my dear Witherdeath friends, I was really rooting for you guys. Such bad luck for you guys.

Congrats to the winners, even if that includes Turnip Head. That's for picking on me in games.

I die for crazy reasons in your games. That why civilians lose.

We had the option of using the Obsidian Dagger and our usual night kill to either double tap Golden and save me from getting caught by his LD or to take you and sig out and try to recruit Dom.

It was close, we were ready to kill Golden but then I made a crappy LD statement that he fell for so we went with plan B. It was also amazing luck that timmer ended up on the same square as you and sig when you got the Star Gem. TH was able to track you and go for the kill to get the Gem after timmer killed sig.

timmer was such a fail in chat that I knew he was bad. I was hoping sig and I would just pass by without much fuss.

One of these days I'll get a Mafia role in an LC/BR game and win. I can't win as a civilian in those things.

Boo.

Whoops, I did want that to be two votes per person. Will it delete the current poll if I change that?

As long as you don't add or delete options on the poll, the current votes should not reset. You should be able to enable multiple votes without consequence.

Dom, this case on juliets...is it perfect?

Or no?

I can't even imagine being scum.

S~V~S wrote:My opinion of Juliets is pointless, it's why i tend not to weigh in on her. I always think she is bad. I am the person who lynched her for being too nice, lol. I think she has been waffly and evasive. But I also think some people were unfairly aggressive with her. TH come to mind with his constant "Where is Juliets " posts even though people who are friends with juliets outside of mafia told him she was afk.

So to answer your question, while I would not be incredibly surprised were Juliets to flip bad, I don't particularly think she is.

That's bizarre to me. I always think she's good. And here I think she's bad.

S~V~S, what do you think of juliets now?

Thanks for letting us know.

Hopefully not.

Lame.

Claiming is always a tactic.

Just not always a smart one.

Are you saying the bonfire is still on? I'm not going to bail if there's still a party.

Does anyone think I'm cum?

FYI I got in trouble for the cum stuff.

That was a typo... Forgive me rice gods, for I have blundered. Please have mercy upon my harvest this year. I wouldn't take Mac's dirty yoke.

Your eyebrows say different.

juliets posted Day 5, so she isn't silenced. juliets danced around Luke and sig like a, ahem, bonfire. She didn't question sig even though she was going to crucify him.

That ain't civilian juliets, and, if it is, then it's not the same civilian juliets.

Draconus wrote:Question for you, though: Did you happen to read my self-defense post among my triple posts? No one ever responded to it that I could see.

I read it. What else can you say?

The interchange between Luke and the person you replaced is fair game though, so I'm going to comment on it.

Shitty day at work because people over me can't do their own jobs.

I have hosting to do, and then I'll read.

Dom wrote:Do you understand the Canuck case? I don't.

I understand it. I don't agree with it.

Dom wrote:Why Draconus over Juliets, Epig?

The bonfire crowd sound like a bunch of hooligans and I have no reason to trust any of them.

It isn't Draconus over Juliets for me, though. That's not a sound way of putting it. I suspect them both.

At the moment, it's Canuck and juliets surging forward. That sort of thing early on usually isn't good.

MacDougall wrote:Epi y u gotta march to the beat of your own drum all the time. Y u not vote juliets huh?

Why aren't you marching to mine?

I voted Draconus, anyway.

Golden wrote:It a good song, epi.

It's a fucking eleven minute song. You listened to it in three minutes?

I don't get why Canucklehead is more suspicious to some people than juliets.

This song.

Yes I was smaug. I don't think a game where I was a LMS indie is comparable to a game where I was a baddie but please bring forward anything you think is relevant.

When you were the SK, you piggy-backed onto my suspicions with an ease I had never seen before. I only called you out too late to win and ended up dragon food.

Vote Analysis (cross-referencing the nutella and Luke votes)

Sorsha.

Sorsha wrote:Is the first lynch over in 1 hour?

Putting my vote on Nutella now.

Voted nutella ninth and last when Luke had five votes.

Sorsha wrote:Maybe if you just look over her posts yourself, especially her interactions win Epi you'll get a better feel for her. There isn't any one thing I can say about juliets that screams baddie.... It's just the way she changed direction after pressure that is giving me a bad feeling about her.

I'm not 100% on her by any means. I could go for Luke though too I just don't want this to be a runaway vote.

What strikes me as suspicious here is that Sorsha voiced no concerns about nutella's lynch being a runaway vote. She just piled on. With Luke, she would have been the seventh voter (or so), but voice reservations about it being a runaway vote. Why didn't Sorsha want a runaway vote for Luke, but had no such concerns for nutella? Why did Sorsha have no such concern for TinyBubbles?

I'm chucking my votes on Nutella and Bubbles. I might change my votes later on, but I don't have a lot of time to read what I've missed.

TheFloyd73 wrote:I'm going to be away for the majority of the weekend.
I'm putting my vote on nutella for now.
Luke, you may want to answer these questions people are asking.

TheFloyd73 wrote:I apologise I missed the second vote, I went to a Tame Impala concert last night.
RIP Luke

TheFloyd73 drops a pair of votes without having read what he had missed. It would appear that TF73 ties up nutella and Luke. Then TF73 coaches Luke into answering people's questions. When Luke dies, his reaction- to me- has a tinge of an apology, to Luke specifically rather than everyone. The "RIP Luke" is bizarre, not just for the obvious reason, but because TF73 has only said RIP one another time: To Turnip Head, whose circumstances were unusual.

Typhoony wrote:Epi, I see you were juliets' teammate in the Champions game in which she was bad. I don't have the time to go through all her posts in that game atm, I'll do that tomorrow.

Is she acting the same in this game as she was in this game? And if so, how does that differentiate from her civvie game?

Off the top of my head, I don't have any insights on this.

My only problem with the theory and it's a small problem. Bug and Luke are friends. If Bug was on Luke's team, do you think he would've had more of a motivation to play?

No. I've invited many people to sign up here and play, and they hate it and never come back.

BUGLA won't be back, I didn't think he would enjoy Mafia much. Luke looks like he'll be here to stay.

Based on BULGA's input before being replaced, do you think BULGA's replacement should be lynched?

juliets wrote:I am torn about Luke because he could easily be just an inactive civ like Draconus was asking about or like others have said he could be hiding behind his low posts. Tranq pointed out the few questions Luke asked but there is no digging for info like I would expect from someone who asks questions. There's just not a lot there (though SVS makes a good point that he has posted more than Canuck who voted for him for not being present). Despite some reservations (like this is feeling like a bandwagon) I'm going to go ahead and vote Luke and change my vote if something else comes up that I feel is a better vote.

Thank you for bringing this back up! I don't like this bandwagon that has quickly formed.

Any questions?

What part of eccentric do you not understand?

Matt F wrote:Linki - Epignosis, when did you vote for Luke? Was it before or after he already received a gazillion votes? I'll have to check the poll.

I'm careful with my wording. I said I "helped take down Luke." I didn't say I started anything. I'm saying I helped.

What have you done?

I never said you started the Luke vote. In fact, I was pretty sure you didn't and only voted for him after he was already running away with the poll. Which was my point.

That's not a point then.

That's either a fact or it isn't.

Am I his teammate? Go.

As Epig said, the lynch is a civvie's best weapon. How does it help us to eliminate half the town from that process?

And I voted yes.

Why would you vote yes when that eliminates half of the players from the lynch discussion? Do you think that helps the town?

Back atcha

I doesn't eliminate them from discussion. It eliminates them from being lynched. I'm in that boat. That's number 1.

Number 2 is that I have two or three suspects who don't post as often. I would like some attention on them.

And, in case you need a number 3, fuck you for asking about what helps the town when you don't vote Mafia. Vote some Mafia. Get 'em out. Then talk.

1. I'm also in that boat, I believe.

2. Just because you and Golden have suspects in the low poster range doesn't mean you are correct.

3. Funny from the guy who convinced everyone to move their vote OFF of Luke yesterday.

Please don't make me roll up my sleeves. It's late.

"Just because you have suspects doesn't make them right."



You worked out how Mafia works. Congratulations! You may get a consolation prize: My vote.

So I convinced everyone to move their votes off Luke.

Mmm...



Yep. I'm so good, I got EVERYONE(-5) to move their votes off Luke.

Instead I bitch-slapped The Darkness.

THEN helped take down Luke.

Yeah, I'm having a bad day in Mafia.

Hey Lorab,

What do you think of Luke?

HE'S DEAD.
