Yeah Golden, I was exploring the "Media" angle.

Also a possibility, Mac. I dunno if I'd be more inspired right now as a bad guy, but I'd probably feel a stronger sense of obligation. I've towned my arse off so many times that I think I've earned a break -- even if that means I am just occupying space and kind of being the thing I once criticized.

Remember when you reached the point in RYM Mafia where the old Mac was a memory and you started playing a lot less often and even lurked when you did play? Mungbean reached that stage eventually as well.

I think I'm finally there.

This is an interesting an insightful view of the game. I am learning about other people's behavior in general. I genuinely have no idea what Ricochet or Zebra are talking about because I haven't read more than 20% of their discussion. This must be how others often feel when faced with megaposters like 2015 JJJ without the energy/time to read/review everything being said.

Hey Ricothezebra, if you folks could summarize your Night 0 beefs for people who haven't read everything with as much brevity as you can manage, that'd be helpful. I don't mean to criticize y'all, I have obviously been in your shoes too and encourage you to continue eating each other for lunch.

It'd just be a nice way to make the conversation between you more relevant to others who are probably going to completely gloss over all of it otherwise. Maybe even label it something like SUMMARY OF BEEFS.

To seek the unholy mafia.

Without trying very hard.

I just want to say for the record that there are 600 posts on Night 0 and it's not my fault.

Very glad to be here in this game of champs. I'm voting for Xander Crews because I hosted that game and I like the character. I see there's already been some pot stirring, and Ricochet's rainbow list is hilarious. Very good.

I think the baddie-to-goodie ratio for people who open a game with "I see there's already been some pot stirring" or any similar phrase is greater than the general baddie-to-goodie ratio.

thellama73 wrote:Ricochet is really coming out swinging today. I like that. It makes me not want to vote for him, at least not yet. I also love DH's analysis of the rainbow list. Wonderful.

Effortful expression of why he might not want to vote for Rico. This post is pointless, but it looks like a post meant to appear better than pointless. It's also nonsense that the Rico praise here comes right before llama praised DH's criticism of the rainbow largely on the premise that it displays civilian reads that he doesn't feel are important.

Is DH or Bass getting the eyeball? I don't think either of them did anything that warrants an eyeball.

thellama73 wrote:Wow, okay, there is a lot of noise to cut through in this thread. Weirdly, I don't have bad feeling about Ricochet this game, although I do enjoy the back and forth between him and Zebra (who is a girl).

The person I a starting to have bad feelings about is MacDougall. He started off basically accusing a bunch of people of being bad, including Ricochet, in a jokey fashion, which felt like a distractionary tactic, and then he allowed his jokey attack on Rico to morph into a real one, joining Zebra (who is a girl). It feels like opportunism to try to eliminate a dangerous rival early, and I'm not reading his attacks as wholly sincere.

But then again, it's not even day one yet, so all this could change.

Yeah, it's so weird that llama doesn't have a bad feeling about Rico. Even though he already said that. Why is it weird? Why does this half-praise of Rico come with the implication that he shouldn't be getting praised?

His read on Mac looks fake.

I think I'm cool with lynching llama first. I hope I don't forget by the time I have to vote.
Which team do you think he is on?

I dunno dude, maybe the bad one. One of the bad ones?

I guess I'll do a thing where I talk about his posts or something.

JaggedJimmyJay wrote:Maybe we should quote the entire thing again.
How do you currently feel about being red on multiple rainbow lists?

I care so much less than I have cared in years. It's a liberating feeling. I don't think I've done anything remotely suspicious, but I'm probably biased, yanno? I'm me.

Maybe we should quote the entire thing again.

I wonder what the current post count leader will think if I refer to that person solely as "the current post count leader" (or adapt for different ranks in post count as applicable).

DharmaHelper wrote:Why not. Let's talk RadicalFuzz and LoRab
DH you don't sound like I thought you would at all.

I find these Vocaroo's to be very pingy. I recall playing a game with Diiny recently on RYM where he said scum doing a voice recording makes them much less suspicious, (even though he was lynched day 1) This stuck with me and I recall JJJ is from RYM as well. So I think it is something to keep an eye on, in fact before what Diiny said occurred to me I thought doing a voice message seemed rather towny. So keeping an eye on JJJ and DH for these voice things.

Know for using an argument in voice this gives them an advantage. It is harder to quote, much harder. You won't actually see the post when doing an ISO thus harder to form a case against them or just look over their history.

Know in DH's first video thing he says he didn't plan anything ahead and was just going with it (more or less). This could be a totally lie if he is mafia I don't doubt he planned what he would say ahead of time. However, he can say he didn't. This also helps to cover any scum slips or potential misphrasing which would make them seem like mafia members, since they can always just use the excuse that they were talking and it it harder.

I might just be over reacting and over thinking this, but I think it was worth mentioning.

DH summery looks good though, which lessens some of my bad feelings about the audio.

I don't need Vocaroo to fool you goofballs. Can't a guy have fun once in a while?

Oh well, it's quite over now. If you sig, or anyone else, actually cares enough about my Day 0 posts to want a summary of what my recordings contained, just ask and I'll supply.

Hey Rico

(Asking Rico to explain why he posted his rainbow list for the sake of adding substance to the currently speculative discussion about his rainbow list)

@ LC: Fair beef mate. I'll include summaries/transcripts for folks that need them. It'll probably get old soon anyway.

Worst idea ever.

If you do this the whole game I'm on board.

Hey hosts, if you're willing could you tell us whether dead people are capable of winning this game? If this is already covered somewhere, muh bad.

Thoughts, Rico

The first time I put up a rainbow list that included DH, I included him in five different colors because it was obvious he hated them.

Hi there DH, generally agreed on Fuzz.

DharmaHelper wrote:If I can side track the entire thread for a moment.

This is a prime example of what is wrong with rainbow lists. They are bloated for one thing, why the hell do I need to know who you don't find suspicious? You're putting energy into telling me something vestigial. Anything in blue or green is totally useless to me. Another thing, Why the fuck am I in two places and in two colors? What does that mean, and did doing that take you longer than it would have taken to just say what you think of me as a suspect? Another thing, the placement of anybody in red is completely arbitrary (especially this early). And again, why am I supposed to care if you suspect over 2/3rds of the game.

Rainbow lists tell me nothing as to why you suspect any of the people you suspect. It's just noise.

Rainbow lists are the Kardashians of mafia culture. Some of them are pretty. A majority of them are bloated messes. They're all stupid.

JJJ scoffs

I like MacDougall. Some thoughts about LoRab.
