Ebwop *playing their hearts out

Ok, thanks. I got paranoid over that deal and was making all kinds of scenarios in my head.
I thought everyone played so well. Juliet’s and Nutella playing their hearts! BWT, we considered killing you early because you always used to suspect me in every game, even if we were civ/civ. I was kind of worried that you might be a problem for me. Mac and Reg and Oreki all helped to educate me a lot on how things are judged now. It was a fun game.

I probably performed better in the early game and you guys were good with civ reading me, while others would have scumread me.
Anyway I enjoyed it, I hope I didn't ruin the game for ya...mafia did a nice swipe! Congrats!

Rej, I enjoyed playing with you. You made me paranoid when you redirected my power, and Indiglo was redirected on the same night. You had great instincts.

You helped us so much. Thank you.

Sabie’s role was fun, she gave out instructions that people didn’t have to do. BWT was silenced by her, but he could have posted if he wanted. Juliet’s didn’t really have a -2 vote. Drago didn’t follow his instructions correctly so we killed him. But Veronica redirected my power to Drago on the same night, so I thought I was busted. I don’t know what happened there.

Ebwop- 4 games out of the last 6, when I had a mafia role.

Thank you Juliet’s. I tried. But weird fact- out of the last 6 mafia games I’ve played (as mafia), there was a death in my family. That makes me a little weirded out.

I trusted Mac somewhat by the two games we were in, and thinking he’s posting suspicions by experience with players. I’m halfway through his iso but I don’t know if it’s going to change my mind.
Nutella, at one point, made a case against Juliet’s that I disagreed with, but it was a strange case. Like a three way with people arguing in circles. I’ll have to go back to the point in her iso, then flip over to the thread to recall who the third person was.
I’m going to close my eyes for awhile. I’m tired and my head hurts, so I’ll finish my reading later. I’m hoping the other absentees will be back in posting mode tomorrow.

Thanks Mata for FOS! I don't ever think to look things up over there.

After you read nutella's case be sure to read my rebuttal. You can find my rebuttal in my ISO or let me know and I will copy it here for you to read. Also, consider what my mafia motive would have been for putting -2 votes on Oreki?

Hope you lose that headache, you're probably just dog-tired from all the stress.

I read through that whole exchange and I had understood your reasoning on Nutella and Dragomir and the Creature vote. I didn’t understand the suspicion on you from them because of your take on the situation. The third person to come into that situation was BWT. I didn’t understand that either, it didn’t fit with my impression of him. Later he backed off on that suspicion of you.
I’m going to vote Nutella too. On day 1, I thought her vote post sounded over explained and that reminded me of nervous Nutella. (Which, to my mind, makes me wary of her). Then she started randomly throwing out suspicions of different people, to the point where I thought she just wasn’t terribly invested in the game. That could be a really good act, I’m aware of that.
You pointed out something that made a strong point. She mentioned her case against LC didn’t pick up steam, but she really didn’t make much of a case. Of course she didn’t, she knew there wasn’t one.
[VOTE: nutella] aubergine

I ISOd nutella and Long Con before I left. I’ll start on others now.

I see there is some suspicion of Nutella. I didn’t trust her at first, I think because of her day 1 vote post. I can’t remember now so I’ll iso her and the people who suspect her. For some reason, I had quit watching her.

I'm sorry to everyone for being so absent yesterday evening. Funeral is this afternoon but I will be here more today

I’ve been reading the game but I’m not quite finished.

I might remake my list into colors later today, to denote levels of trust/suspicion, but my aunt just died and I will be away for the next few hours.

thanks!

I was going to put these into a color list, but I can’t figure out where the color chart is. I’m on a phone, maybe that’s why I can’t find it. I have town for the first group, not-as-town for the second group, and unfamiliar with the third group, (although I think Rej is town).

How are you guys just gonna ignore this post?

[VOTE: Matahari] aubergine

Drago, did you read any of my posts before that? It seems like you’re just focusing on one.

Yep. They're all bad. I had already said this.

Ok thanks. Just asking.

I’m about to be lynched in my other game, so maybe I’ll have more time here after that.

Juliet’s, I’m going back later this evening ( the other game is calling), and look through all the interactions between LC and Indiglo. Their votes on each other today seem kind of weird.

I’m going to vote Wilgy or no one. I don’t want to just skip a vote, that might have consequences.

MacDougall wrote: ↑Thu May 23, 2019 5:32 pm Do we agree there are three Mafia?

There were 16 ppl at the start. Is it inconceivable that there could be four? Or three maf and an Indy?

juliets wrote: ↑Thu May 23, 2019 4:57 pm @Matahari do you have any thoughts about indiglo? I'm going to iso her right after my MU phase ends.

The two hardest people for me to be right about are LC and Indiglo. I can never read LC, and Indiglo is tough. I guessed correctly about her in my first game back, because she wasn’t justifying her votes in a believable way, and avoiding the thread. So this game, it’s tougher because she is actually pointing out things that are comment worthy, but not tunneling in on it. I’m still neutral on her, but keeping an eye out. Let me know what you think after her iso.
I just read BWT’s post. I’m going with neutral on him.

I’m here off and on. I’m waiting to see what kind of case BWT makes. I’ll probably wait until around 5:30 ish before I vote. I want to hear whether his case sounds sincere.

juliets wrote: ↑Thu May 23, 2019 3:44 pm Ok I really don't like being parked on Wilgy now. @Matahari thanks for the memory of bwt, your memory is so much better than mine. So I don't know where to move. I'm not suspecting bwt at the moment either.

I just reread Wilgy, and I have mixed feelings. I’ve never played with, I don’t think, so I lumped him in with the growing group of players who refuse to be routine players. But he pointed out himself that his way works for both town and mafia.
On day one, Epig said he was bad. On day 2, he threw a bit of shade on Creature. That’s not great. But today he made a more serious post, and it seemed like something town would say. I don’t know. Still have some time to decide.

I didn’t have much of a read on BWT because he placed a lot of one-liners on different people which is how I remembered being his usual style back in the day. He just used to be more forceful when he was mafia. And people change so that’s not a great determiner there. But I’m pinged by his vote on Juliet’s, I mainly don’t see the case. He said he’d make one if he got back in time today. I don’t know, that just doesn’t sit well. I might vote him.
But I’m curious about all the Wilgy votes. He hasn’t posted much, and I’m thinking that people who have played with him a lot and voted him, might be the wise ones here.
I’m going to try and wait a bit to see if BWT comes back and explains.

I feel like Juliet’s is town. I also think Rej is town.

I tend to trust Mac so far. Maybe not 100%, but I don’t see a reason not to. He was quiet and town in one game, and more talkative and bad in the next. That’s very little to go on, but I’m a gut based player, and I have never played with six of these people. Mac has been steady on Creature, so I may vote him.
Some of Creature’s posts, I don’t even know what he means.

I’ve caught up on the recent stuff, but I’m going to try rereading the game while there’s only 12 pages.

I could probably just quote Juliet’s post above and say ^this, but I won’t lol. I apologize for not being active yesterday or today, but my Sunday plans were made before this game started. I’m in the other game as well, with tons of posts, and the lynch is tonight. I’ll be here more after that.

[VOTE: sabie] aubergine the case on Sabie sounds the best, so I put my vote there.

Ugh linki , makes me want to change my vote.

Dr Wilgy doesn’t seem very serious about the game. But that’s all I see where he is concerned. Why is he a good vote?

At this point it will take me awhile to reread all these posts and try to get a feeling about them. Skimming is not thinking. I’m trying to stay caught up but that’s about all I’ve had time for today. I seriously don’t like day 1s when I don’t have a gut feeling at least to go on.
I don’t know what to do.

Lot of linki

Meanwhile we have to vote for someone today and it's going to be hard if people aren't posting content. So far nobody has said anything I can make a read off of yet. Does anyone have anything they think looks suspicious?

Today is my birthday by the way and I'm in another game too so I will be in and out.

Happy birthday!
I am suspicious of this Mac guy for now, because of the way he entered this day phase. He either knows something or he plays with us. I see it as a not wisemove to list yourself as town, that way he might approach us to trust him, but the nr 1 rule is not to trust anyone. I would vote off someone like him, so I expect him to tell us why he lists himself as town and this while we have no information.

I know I'm town. Does that mean I deserve a vote too?

The thing with saying "I am town" is so baseless, because at this point of the game we have no invest results, which means that scum could also say "I am town". So I am not used to it, If someone is town he should stand up and make a real play.

We have 5 people that have a +1 vote on themselves, due to lackluster useage of mechanics, and who is giving us the guarantee of them being town when everyone could have been in their position even wolves.

I don’t know if you are new to mafia or this site, but sometimes, people say they are town because one of the roles might be a lie detector role. Although in games where everyone is making a town claim, mafia can too, but it seems like a harmless enough statement to make.

I’ll be scarce today, because I have company and cooking to do for tonight. I won’t miss the vote but I have no clue about who to vote.

I don’t know either, because I’ve never watched it. But I do think some of us are going to get moved off the choice we made. We have 6 people on space, and I think we’re only supposed to have 4.

It sounds like it matters what order you voted so if the order is correct then you and epi would have to move to a different option so as not to get a vote put on you if I'm reading that right.

I was the third voter on Space, but for some weird reason, the poll doesn’t keep the names in the true order.

I’m going with space.
