i hope you're bad cuz the civs just lost

oih

Yup.

nev if you are civ then we were screwed either way today. the only hope for a civ win now is if vomp votes for you and you turn out to be the baddie. if you are civ and we both vote each other weve all been outplayed sadly. I hope you are bad.

votes nev

A Person wrote:Because I think he's bad.

Ok, but can you say why?

Ap, why did you vote nevinera?

Hosts is there a reason the poll has no deadline?

Guys, I'm not a baddie or an indy, I'm civ. I've played a fairly quiet game because I'm in 4 at once (well, 3 now) and I've felt stretched. The only reason anyone can give to even call me bad is my vote against fh on day ONE. Think about that. At this point, I can only assume that the remaining baddies are among the quietest players? Unfortunately I'll have to hold my vote to save myself.

I read back through svs early posts and she sort of suspected dom but in a wishywashy way that doesnt mesh with her current statements. She gets my vote.

Shit, really? I didn't see anyone defending TH anywhere, not like a btsc partner would, and of the deadies with unknown roles Epig voted to lynch her, so I can only guess that agleam was Nick? Usually a civ btsc partnership doesn't result in this kind of a lynch... RIP TH

^^ That's the one I usually use, incidentally. FWIW K4J, I don't know your playstyle, so maybe I'm pushing your buttons a little, to gauge reactions, etc. Maybe I don't have any hunches at all and just wanted to see how you would react if I said I did. Sometimes, taking a page from the Bookof Epignosis is a handy thing. As it is, I'm reserving any judgment on you until I see how this lynch goes down.

Sorry, that was to SVS.

And FH' vote WAS kind of scummy, it's why I voted for her, but it does stand to reason that there is likely at least one of Dom's teamies in the FH voters, K4J. If Dom's team panicked, and then there was FH's weird out of nowhere "yeah!" vote, it made sense as the one to jump on. From my own pov, either you or th or both of you must be bad.

I've got a hunch I know who the LD is (not someone I've mentioned trusting, up to this point, to protect them) and they are free to check whoever they want of course, but my point to K4J is that I'll notice if there is a shift in someone's opinion of him in the near future. (The same goes for others as well, but I found it pingy that he had refrained from providing a statement. )

TBH all the I am civ statements just annoy me because if I do it as civ, I am gonna have to do it as a baddie and that is going to screw me over one day. But I am civ. Lol

Thank you. I'll be curious to see how certain people look at you tomorrow.

Hey K4J, I just read through your posts, and you've done a fair bit of talking about the lie detector role, but you've so far not given a single statement ANYWHERE that would allow an LD to determine if you are good or not. Considering that you've mentioned the Ld role before, this constitutes a bit of a ping for me and I wish I had noticed this earlier.

Do me a favor, big guy. Tell us that you are a civ. Just like that. Preferably well before the end of the upcoming night?

I double checked the polls and th seems like a good bet. vires.

lol my phone always wants to turn civ into chic! (and for the ld I am chic as well lol)

Roxy has pretty much never been wrong about me lol, which is a source of great annoyance when I'm bad!

Kate, I can't defend against the placement and timing of my fh vote it is what it is, but to your point about being forthcoming with ld statements, I'm simply not of the opinion that posting a million different statements is actually helpful. I posted that I am civ. thats one Line, they can check it and know everything they need to about me. sometimes when a bunch of people are all posting twenty different statements each, it feels shady to me tbh. like yeah you've got one Line that says you are civ but then you've got twenty more like "I dont have btsc" which may be helpful but less than saying you are civ. more statements means a greater chance that the ld will make a mistake and pick something dumb. as far as I'm concerned saying that I'm chic like I previously did is more efficient.

Hey all, so reading back, I think I trust Hedge and would like to hear her thoughts on the gsme.

And to those thinking I'm bad because of my vote placement on Day 1, I've just got to say this. Ask anyone in here who has been a baddie teammate of mine; I don't ever miss a vote and tune out for a long stretch when I've got baddie teammates potentially getting lynched. I never, ever do. If a lynch has become inevitable, I'll place a vote somewhere else, I'll figure out the best place for it considering the scenario, but I would never just not bother to post or vote when my teammate is going under. Ask any of them, if I had baddie teammates, would I have been this absent yesterday? Of course that's WIFOM-y, but those of you who know me should know this much, at least! I'm never an absentee baddie teammate.

@SVS, I apologize to you as well, I was just in a pissy mood last night and roped you into it, but it was unwarranted.

To everyone, look, I log in to mafia and peruse the threads a LOT more than the number of times I actually post. The same goes for when I'm civ, indy or bad. I'm often checking in from work, or it's 5 minutes from dinner with the family or whatever, and I just do a quick check-in, I'm sure many of you do as well. So yesterday I honestly thought we were only halfway through Day 2,I did a quick peruse, I saw that Boo had asked about me, so I read his post, i commented on it quickly and I went on with my day. I didn't completely catch up, I had NO idea the day was over and I did NOT know that Dom had been lynched. I invite you to read my posts from yesterday from the POV of someone who thought Boo was talking about the Day 1 FH lynch, and you'll see why I got a bit pissy to him, from my pov his post to me made NO sense because I couldn't understand how he would say such things to me when that first lynch was so up in the air.

Anyway, I again apologize to Boo, I don't generally let mafia get under my skin but for whatever reason I got irked yesterday and took it out on him.

And let me throw this out there for the LD: I have no BTSC, I'm not bad, I did not know Dom was bad. Whatever else you want me to put in there, I will, I'm civ and just made an incredible blunder yesterday.

I thought it was still day, th. I'm oblivious. I'm going to bed now good Christ.

Oh for Gods sake, I apologize fuck me I keep forgetting that this is a speed game. No Boo, I actually have not read the lynch post, as far as I understood it you were talking about FH... Jesus, I absolutely apologize I honestly even at this moment haven't read it.

boo wrote:I'd bother responding to that if I thought you really had just not read the lynch result, but I don't, so I won't.

I had wanted to post in character for this whole game, it seemed like a fun thing to do, but I'm breaking out for this one because I'm too pissed off to go that route.

You'd bother responding? Seriously? I know exactly who got lynched, of course I know that. WTF are you talking about? You aren't normally a smarmy, negative player Boo. I like the other Boo better, the one who doesn't say shit that. Between this post of yours, and the way SVS jumped down my throat the other day, I'm starting to understand why so many people just coast through games without posting.

Wake up and remember that looking at something as if the person is bad, and NOT looking at it as if the person could be good does a LOT of damage.

But hey, if you're so damn sure that I'm bad, so sure that you don't need to "bother" responding to my post, then vote me and find out the error of your ways. Jesus.

At this point, it seems like this game is all made up of mugs pointing fingers at each other… there is a ton of suspicion and mistrust for so early in da game. When we find a bad guy, we'll be able to piece together who supported/accused who quite easily, but until we find one, I think dis situation is pretty bafflin'.

One thing that concerns me a bit is Boo's post about Epignosis where he mentions da possibility of Epig winning prizes. I can see it two ways; one, Boo is trying to be a helpful goon but his logic is backwards, because if Epig is bd and has a pocket full of prizes, the sooner we start breakin' him down da better, imo. But also, it would make a nice thing for an associate to say. If Boo were Epig's partner and knew he had won a prize, putting it out der dat attacking him could be tough since he may have won some prizes would be a clever way of making it sound like he was suspecting Epig while simultaneously trying to divert the lynch somewheres else.

This is a association-based, so I wouldn't vote for Boo unless I knew Epig was bad first, but if Epig flips bad, Boo's post will become an official ping, is my point.

For now though, I gotta double-check the vote from yesterday to see where Epig stood in it, etc. etc.

boo wrote:Also Epi, what do you think of Timmer? He was the third FH voter. I think he's more likely another baddie than TH tbh. We've seen so little of him, and while I'm not sure that says much about alignment either way generally, this theme is right in his wheelhouse, and I tend to think when a player is a civ and in a game with a theme they really like, they'll make more of an effort to be part of the game than they may otherwise be (which they can get from BTSC as a baddie, making their thread presence smaller than if they were a civ in the same game).

I'm here, ya mug. I've been super busy hunting down goons… you may have noticed, I ain't been around the other game on here, eetha. Work's been a rough dame for me the last few days...

I'm trying to figure this little mystery of ours out, but it's pretty early in the runnin'. That first lynch was so split up, there are a million 'n one ways to read it. I ain't got a problem with ya studying' my vote, but just remember dat it's usually a better idea to find a baddie and THEN figure out who voted to savem then the other way around, since at this point, I can't even figure out if there WAS a baddie being saved at ALL, see? Mwah.

Hmm, dat mug Booze got some intarestin ideas bout dat Epig goon. I's run with gut feelins dis early in the past so I'll be followin ta see what comes a' it. For now I wants ta watch how da day plays out, to see who says what...

I was actually around a bit longer than you'd realize; I'm at work and was just skimmin'. I thought da day ended tomorrow and hadn't even planned ta post anything until I gots home but saw someone mention how little time der was left and freaked. I logged on to get da right timezone and shat my pants, but I had already been readin' back for a little while.

Would ya rather I showed up 20 minutes before the lynch was endin' and randomized? Or maybe best to have stayed away like some people apparently did? I tried to make a reasonable judgment, but apparently the wind blew the other way on dis one.

Linki: her showin up and sayin "this" and voting without any other reasoning made her the best choice for a slow Day 1, YES. I'm sorry it turned out da wrong way but I don't shy away from votin' my gut, you knows that...

(Dat dame's got two total posts, so how you'd feel dat way after two posts I's gotta hear)

S~V~S wrote:I doubt Lizzy is bad.

Dat's a bold statement for Day 1. What makes ya think so?

Could be dat dame Lizzy is bad and hoped to self-vote and lurk away but the Dom vote spokked her cronies. Dat's the kinda thing dat becomes clear later on, but it's a hunch, see? I don't like the Kate/FH/Hedge troika, especially da foist two comin as dey did...

Crikey, I thought there was a whole nother day on dat poll...

I read back thru dat goon Dom's posts and don't see anything seedy 'cept for the timing coupled with Lizzy's self-vote. I feel like maybe der's some baddies jumpin' on dat, so I'm votin' dat dame FH for basically jumpin' in outta nowheres and sayin' "yeah!"

I has a hunch about Epig and dat mug Turnip. I think maybe I ain't gonna votem see? We'll see what we see when we see it...

Poor Jules Dassin

Now then, whicha youse is da triggerman, enh?

Woo-hoo, I'm in way too many games!!

I went with the speakeasy, because that's where people speak… easy…ly…
