I wish you hadn't been sick for 2-headed-monster mafia. Sounds like you two would have been a blast! Hope to play a game with you sometime.

I know right? She owes me a rain check for being a hydra. It will happen still right [mention]Tsaiah[/mention]?!

xD

Agree completely, tho i gotta admit it is nice to have more time to read back and mull over stuff at this point of the game, as opposed to just trying to stay as caught up as possible

Having all that stuff to mull over is incredible tho

Mulling is important, but gotta have the data first xD

I stand by what I said here at the beginning of d3 :3

Having a buncha people higher posting early and then stepping back to mull over all that wonderful data afterward was crucial to finding each other as town, finding the mafia, and overall getting the sweep here

Yeah I can totally dig that perspective.

My god would our community metas mesh well ^_^

Oh this will absolutely happen at least once but hopefully many times.

I really cannot emphasize enough how incredible this game was — from the efforts put in by the town, the fight from Alien and all of the scum really, the general atmosphere of working together, our amazing new players and just the awesome player list otherwise, etc.

I appreciate the comments about blowing up the thread and all of that. But as you all know well by now I land on Jay’s side of the argument here and have my entire career. The more data there is for the town to analyze, the more the scum have to fake, all else being equal of course, the better chance the town have to win. It’s a complicated phenomenon though and it’s why aggressive reassessment is always necessary. I feel like this is one of the best town performances I ever have been a part of, and it would not have been that way if not for the sheer volume of effort from so many members of the town.

I don’t really care if what I did with Mac was seen as careless or a mistake, or if people thought I spammed too much.

I played the game the way I enjoy playing the game as well trying to maximize my team’s win condition at any time. I made every effort I could to sort as many players as possible.

I don’t need validation and while I appreciate the advice, I think I can play this game rather well and I will always play it my way.

I admittedly won’t have the time to blow up threads like this so part of me wanted to really enjoy it for the last time, and I couldn’t contain my excitement to be playing with all of you especially [mention]Tsaiah[/mention], [mention]abyssum[/mention], [mention]Infected_alien8_[/mention], [mention]RobotNerd277[/mention], and [mention]DharmaHelper[/mention] and [mention]Russtifinko[/mention]. This game was an anomaly, but it was a very fun one.

I do apologize if the way I play the game makes it less fun for anyone else but I never forced anyone to read everything or do anything. Regardless of what any of you all think of my play this game I am just not going to play the game differently just because some people complain about my shitposts or my post count. I played well, I enjoyed myself, I stayed true to myself, and that’s all that matters.

I wouldn’t ask that of anyone else. I wouldn’t ask DH to play differently. I love that we all have our own approaches to enjoying and solving the game. It adds to the already amazing culture here of friendship by making the game even more interesting.

Despite the intensity I really hope you all at least enjoyed it a bit and I’m sorry if you didn’t. We all have games from time to time that are unfortunately more frustrating than they should be. I didn’t mean to play any part in that personally.

I very much look forward to playing with all of you again.

I see what you all really think of me now.

Too bad nobody drafted MP.

Seriously? Alright then.

I’ll have more coherent things to say tomorrow.

Otherwise, it was an absolute pleasure in every regard. Thanks for hosting Epi. And thanks for playing everyone, especially tsaiah, aby, Robot, and Alien. I look forward to the next one.

MULDER AND SCULLY 2018

I am just glad I correctly cleared Tsaiah as town from the getgo.

[VOTE: Sprityo] aubergine



Well played sir.

Wow. What a game.

Did we seriously just win? FUCK YES

Wait what

I’m glad I checked this again before going to bed

Lol no death again

I’m going to do things tomorrow. Just got home. Do not exactly have the mental capacity for mafia. See you all tomorrow evening.

FYI won’t be here after all. Full schedule.

I'm going to tell myself that everyone just wants to give me the space to work without distractions.

I love them. Keep it up. You're awesome.

I just am going to bed shortly myself. See you all tomorrow closer to end of night.

We got this, team. Let's not get complacent. I believe in us.

Godspeed Jay. You're an inspiration. I'll check those out tomorrow after orientation assuming I have time.

Lynch a mafia team in straight sets with no mistakes. Let's not just win this game, let's blow it up like nobody before us.

is that true??

As far as I am aware, yes.

This is correct.

Incredible. Well played to everyone.

And thanks for playing here Robot. Sorry it wasn’t probably the best first game for you. Looking forward to another.

Well dinner time. Be back to see the flip. Here's hoping.

Hey I already towncleared tsaiah. No one ever takes my word for such things though apparently.

Let it be known that we're no longer a thing. I'm breaking it off.

our office romance has finally ended

Damn straight. I'm actively looking for my next mafia partner.

Come on, who wouldn't want to be with this?

ColinIsCool wrote: ↑Sun Aug 19, 2018 11:05 pm CFD stands for chronic friend destruction bc it is usually dumb

Yeah, this is true. I've led like 4 CFDs over my career, and every time I was town, and the player lynched was also town.

That said, I still really think Robot is scum.

Russtifinko wrote: ↑Sun Aug 19, 2018 11:00 pm Things I need clarified:

What "TMI" and "CFD" are.
What a "godfather" is.

I guess that's all. I feel like this whole thread is just waiting for today to be over.

TMI = too much information; when a scum talks about someone they know is town in a fashion that indicates they have inside knowledge
CFD = chinese fire drill; when a bunch of players make a concerted attempt to switch the lynch to another player at the last minute

Godfather = a mafia role; if role checked, comes back as a townie

Linki: Dammit.

If Robot flips town, my reads are basically garbage and will all be reassessed.

Honestly I have other things to attend to, sorry guys. I'll still be here off and on until EOD but I won't be able to do much.

Mac I've already spoken at length as to why I think Tsaiah is town. I've continued to reassess her. What specifically do you want to engage with me about it?

This is Turnip Head:

Jay, that's not what Turnip Head looks like.

The way Alien talks about Robot also reads very similarly to the way scum Alien talked about a low hanging fruit townie (dichotomousCreator) in wild cards 1, and I originally thought that as well, but then we ended up MLing him anyway because he independently looked scummy. I'd hesitate to make that mistake again here. Nonetheless we must consider Robot on her own merits and consider the possibility that Alien was defending a teammate here.

Could you talk more about the things that specifically had you feeling this way, even if you don't have the same perspective right now?

Uhh so I spoke to this somewhat already but basically I mostly recalled and reviewed Alien's treatment of Robot at the end of Day 1, and that's what was causing my interpretation primarily. When reviewed holistically, I agreed more with your overall conclusions.

I hope this answers your question. Does it?

Alright I'm here and on laptop. Give me a few minutes though.

Woahhh I did something there

Because she’s town lol

Sorry out and about, I should have time to get to this before deadline though because I’m about to be back at the airbnb

Oh good because I wasn't really sure, LOL.

remember the thing you said earlier in the game about being able to read colin? i think taht was you that said it. I was saying im feeling the same way

Oh maybe? Haha.

FYI I'm going to be in and out a ton before EOD, so if any of you wants my input on something I'll get to it as soon as I can, and I probably won't be doing any further investigation of my own. New faculty orientation starts tomorrow and I still have quite a bit to do before then.

Linki w/ DH: lol.

What do you mean exactly re: Colin, sprityo? I am a bit torn on him still myself but I think he mostly looks town.

Yeah man multi-gaming is tough. Lol.

I really don't mean to post so much that the game isn't as fun for anyone else. I just really enjoy playing with you guys.

Yeah my shtick is probably annoying too but I try to be nice!

DH I don’t think I ever said any of those things or meant to imply them in a negative way. If I personally demotivated you this game I apologize.

Maybe the final two are Jay and DH.

Lol DH at least 50% of my posts (and that's probably conservative) are solving; pretty much 0% of yours are.

On that note...

Oh my fucking god.
