Mngoose DID call Mac out on a slip..SHE DID. I referenced it too. Way back in the day

It was a joke tho

Was it all joking though? Wasn't there a bit of smoke there?

Good - nutella.

I know I only gave you one of each. I am pretty sure about Juliets, but that's what she would want me to think isn't it?I don't have another prospective baddie for you, soz. I'm not totally unsold on Luna.

linki - Eloh - if I'm around, I will try that. It's a state-issued cell phone (ha) so some of the normal settings won't work like they would on my personal phone. I can't use my personal phone because I'm super low on dataaaaaaa

linki - nutella /Juliets - his comment about saying stuff about me outside of this thread

You smug mafia wanton bangarangs. you're so pleased with yourselves about this aren't you.

You guys seriously! You're going to be as sad as you were when you first read Little Women and Beth succumbs.

omg, I cannot even post. I am getting so much linki. 8th time's the charm

I can't see folks' names on my phone, which makes playing from work extremely difficult. Going back and forth between pages is also nigh impossible.

We never really excavated into Mac's slip (or was it?) Why didn't we? Whether or not that was a slip, it's super weird to me that something so succulent just slipped on by last passing by a traffic sign.

Wait what?

If I misattributed that you referenced it, my apologies.

The summary is that I'm playing like a relic that know one remembers but Eloh and Juliets and maybe nutella, so everyone is super suspish but I know you'll see through it.

@Lunalee

1. Specifically that statement - just a slight sardonic jab after I felt he had been wrong about me from out of the gate. And a slight attempt at humor.

2. I don’t know if I have a play style, I’m just a more exaggerated version of myself (the offline me isn’t as easily frustrated or gets defensive or aggressive). I’m not sure if you’ve ever played with thellama73 but he also has a sort of whimsical, bananapants Loki play style that’s an exaggeration of his own real persona.

That's literally the first correct thing you've surmised about me all day.

This just seems like a funny thing to say if you're actually really scum. If you're town, what's the motive?

Just for clarity: are you asking me the motive behind that one statement or a more general query about my play style?

Why?

How many games have we played together at this point?

Okay, but that aside, why are you so adamant that your day 0 reads are correct? You've only voted Indiglo and myself today. Do you not have any other suspects?

I’m not adamant about anything. I don’t even remember some of my Day 0 reads. Matahari is a suspect. Why is your vote on Mongoose?

Mongoose's tone is overall timid, questioning, and her posts don't hold a lot of content. It doesn't look like a strong town play to me. Which is why she's on my watch list.

A lot of that could be in the eye of the beholder. I chuckled at timid though. I’ve been trying to clock my Aries aggression this game.

I don’t remember if No U is what I think it is, but it was a vote to save myself, and some of the accusations against me were dilute at best. Explanation Salad? Is that the best you got? Even on Day 1?

(Also I don’t want to miss the vote if I make it to yoga because then I won’t be back until after 730pm EST)

indiglo wrote: ↑Tue Mar 05, 2019 6:00 pm Oooh, no I was just unaware of the burglary mafia genre in its entirety.

And that makes a world of difference. I assumed it was just like a smaller game of regular mafia.

I too meant no offense.

Linki~ (really weird linki, too)

Appreciate this post! Your linki made me laugh. There’s been several times this thread I’ve done that, so I thank you all for that.

Mongoose wrote: ↑Tue Mar 05, 2019 5:49 pm this was my first proper game in literally years,

What's the difference between a burglary and a proper game?

Is this is a legitimate question, I meant no offense to burglary hosts. Clearly, I mean not a game of a transitory nature, but one that’s got more complex roles, more players, more time. Like a side mission or a full game.

[VOTE: mongoose] aubergine


It was her last few posts that pinged me. The questions she was asking and the way she was asking them. I thought perhaps she was a noob, which would have explained it away at least for today... but she isn't a noob, so they just ping me.


*waits for a man to take credit for this post and read*

Something about this isn't sitting right with me. I went back to see what questions you were talking about. In her last 6 posts she had no questions. In the prior post, going back 7, she asked this question:

"For the good of the group: don’t you think such unbridled frustration tends to read/skew more civ?" Time: 1:03 EST

And then going back two more posts she asked:

"Is everyone else seemingly being their typical selves playstyles?" Time: 11:31 am

Are these the "questions she was asking and the way she was asking them" that pinged you? They were not in her last few posts as you indicated. And the last question was hours ago. I find your post slightly suspicious unless I'm just not understanding what you're saying.

It was these posts that have been pinging me:

Mongoose wrote: ↑Tue Mar 05, 2019 12:31 pm Is everyone else seemingly being their typical selves playstyles? I’ve been to AWOL to know.

This one because if she's been here regularly playing with these folks (which she has) then it's a weird question. If she had been gone for a while and this was a first game back, or first game period, I could see asking this. Otherwise it strikes me as just plain weird, and "off". Plus, she mentions being AWOL, which she later said she's been playing burglarys regularly, so... I don't understand that.

Mongoose wrote: ↑Tue Mar 05, 2019 2:03 pm For the good of the group: don’t you think such unbridled frustration tends to read/skew more civ? When someone believes something about you that is so patently untrue, the frustration becomes palpable.

Apologies for the leading question, but I really want to know the veracity of my (foregone?) conclusion.

Mongoose wrote: ↑Tue Mar 05, 2019 2:26 pm Jay - yes, regarding Nutella. It’s more or less what I was trying to posit yesterday, although I concede I did not do so artfully.

This pair struck me as odd because after asking the question, she seemed to be satisfied with only the response of 3J. Which I think is odd.


When the ping began, those were her last few posts. Since time has passed since starting to feel pingy, I do see she has made further posts, however those few are the ones that pinged me.

Linki~

Ive played two burglaries (if that’s the game that’s only hours long) over the last two years. I feel like I should be offended.

In other news, mafia is scared of me, true/false. (Spoiler alert: true)

indiglo wrote: ↑Tue Mar 05, 2019 5:23 pm I've discarded more than 3 men, no reads needed. Y'all are expendable in general.

I have an appointment I have to leave for in the next hour or less. So I'm going to go ahead and vote, and be around as long as I can for any discussion after that. But I won't be here for EOD.

In RE: The State v Mongoose (or how everyone can’t read her or is scared of her analysis acumen)

In fairness to me, I am indeed on a phone that does not display the thread like it supposed to and this makes visibility marginal at best (which may explain some noobish behavior - I’m appalled I didn’t figure out who Owner is) I’m checking in from work, where I’m supposed to be working on some briefs, so some of my responses may seem clipped or truncated. I don’t even have WiFi because this a government building. This is all 100% accurate. I’ll vote to save myself, but it would have been nice to stick around a little longer since this was my first proper game in literally years, and I think you would have enjoyed my quirky persona throughout the game too. But that’s the problem with those that want to help, people can assume the help offered is instead a sword wielded against them.

Wow, we got a real live Clarence Darrow in the house tonight.

Let’s not be too hasty, I’m about as easy to read as sanded down Braille

This is the second time at least I’ve seen folks refer to someone as Owner. Is that a nickname for someone?

I don't like your empty day 0 reads. They seem baseless, and just throw suspicion on random people. Why?

I've come to accept that nutella is a a hound at sniffing out scum. Also, her back-and-forth with you leaves her looking a bit better than you in my opinion.

I might understand throwing out reads like you did on day 0 to get people talking. But you actually stuck with them into day 1. You say you suspect Indiglo and myself, then later on day 1, you still suspect us but "feel bad" lynching either of us. Day 1 is a time to build a case on those suspects if you were serious about them, or drop them if you weren't. Instead you're trying to look like you're staying "consistent," but you still just have no real reason for the suspicions.

I like the imagery of Nutella as a mafia truffle dog.

indiglo wrote: ↑Tue Mar 05, 2019 3:45 pm @Mongoose What is your mafia history? By that I mean, have you been playing mafia for a while? Has it been a while since you played, or have you been playing fairly regularly?

Hey Indi. I guess I’m old school since I’ve been playing since 2013 and I’ve hosted several games (and cohosted a few with BFF and fellow Animal Sanctuary Squad member thellama73), but it’s been a few years since I’ve played anything more than a burglary.

Nice! I listened to The Boxer in my
Office last week!

That's an advantage. Who cares about what's typical? Tell me what you feel in your heart.

That might not be a bad sentiment. On the other hand, my proclivities historically to scrutinize overly aggressive behavior (which was also said previously and more eloquently by Matahari - hi, by the way, it’s so nice to see you), but that might not be fair to those with their tester one set to Turbo.

Is everyone else seemingly being their typical selves playstyles? I’ve been to AWOL to know.

It was literally called Felt Mafia (and a sequel). See the archives for more information. First game where I've been called mafia for simply hosting a previous game, but I have a feeling it won't be the last.

What's the best party you ever went to? My kickball team used to throw these epic holiday parties when we still played.

I'm not bad.

Anyone read the books? I don't remember much but I do remember that Blair sewed a heart with her initial on the inside of Nate's favorite sweater and I thought that was heartbreaking.

I'm here and feeling very put upon if you know what I mean.

But seriously! Glad to be back. It's been ages since I played a non-burglary game around here. I have long hours on week days, so bear with me.
