yeah that seems pretty normal for Wilgy

[mention]Illyria[/mention] I'm interested in your thoughts as you catch up

The game is about to start so I'm going to go ahead and vote though I may change it later. Per my earlier post I am looking at DFaraday, JackofHearts and Dr. Wilgy. DF has been participating so I'm going to rule him out for that. Dr. Wilgy has only posted one completely off topic post but I guess he's been known to do that according to Kyle (I guess I just haven't noticed) so that leaves Jack who hasn't posted at all. I'm going to go ahead and vote for Jack but does anyone know anything about why he's not here? Like is he on vacation or anything? Maybe my vote will pressure him to participate. I'll try to keep up with reading posts during the game but I don't expect to post.

Juliets have you never played with Dr Wilgy before? I thought his wildboy tendencies were well known

I also didn't realize Wilgy's sodium nitrate post was his only post.

As of right now, I am feeling that Lorab is a civvie. I am waiting for Lup to post more, especially as they are new, but I think I am eyeing them?? I am also eyeing DrW because of that odd post even if you all think that is normal. If that is his only one so far, I am going to wait to see if he will say anything else on topic-- but right now I think that might be where my vote is going? UGGGGH. This is hard!! /tantrum

I am hoping that I will be able to dust some of this rust off my mafia instincts. I am not sure that I trust them right now!

When you say "Lup" are you referring to lapluie, or to Loop? Because I just noticed Loop, they did not make any posts in either this thread or the sign up thread. Was this discussed in the sign up thread? I only really started reading where I signed up.

Oh geez. I meant Lapluie. Sorry. Lap!

If loop did not post in either thread, I wonder if they meant to sign up at all? That seems slightly odd to click yes and the never post anywhere?

Loop voted in the night poll but never posted

Dr. Wilgy being a wild boy doesn't mean he should be removed from scrutiny. Wilgy is a player who um.... he's often inscrutable because of the way he plays and often ends up being taken out of or put into the pool of suspicion by process of elimination.

informing people of the usage of sodium nitrate out of the blue isn't necessarily an alignment indicator for him, but level of effort from him can be.

Or rabbit

tranq sdid you explain why missing the d0 poll would be symptomatic of mafia behavior, or is it a participation thing, or is it actually an excuse to vote for rabbit

I have played with Dr. Wilgy before but it's been a long time since I played a true mafia game with him (not Chicka Chicka) and I just can't speak to how he posts from personal experience. I'd have to go back and look. (Wilgy, if you can tell me a game where you were good and one where you were bad I will look at your posts at the beginning of those games.) I just think the potassium nitrate (or was it sodium nitrate?) post being his only post doesn't say a lot about him being civ. I still haven't decided where my final vote will go.

Wilgy does nothing but joke at the start of every game I've seen him in and everyone just runs with it.

Off like to know about loop as well. I don't know them and I can handle someone not posting yet but it's different I'd thru haven't posted but they did vote. That's weird. Which option did they vote for?

2 hours left and only 4/20 votes are on the board

House of Wax

I voted loop. I'm knee deep in super bowl and he voted but didn't post. It's all I got.

Hence why I always ask to lynch Wilgy.

I don't know what that means...

Okay, I'm managing two emergencies that just came in for work rn. I'm gonna be distracted. I am voting for drW because of his nonsensical post, and nothing else up to this point.

Keeping an eye on Lapluie for now--the excited sounding comment raised an eyebrow, but I don't know them or how they write, so I'm also not sure. I want to hear more for them, for sure. And sig I'm just keeping an eye on for now.

I'm currently tempted to vote for Loop. I hadn't noticed that they had voted in the first poll and not posted at all. And that they chose House of Wax, of all the choices, is odd. I mean, that doesn't seem like it could possibly be a positive choice. I mean, someone new could not understand that the vote likely means something...but then why vote at all. And if it were a truly random choice, why not come on and say that. It reads much more like a situation where they got their pm, saw where they should vote, went to thread, voted, and then either left or read the posts and didn't konw what to say.

loop didn't post anything in the sign up thread either.....

Player Salad is a thing Jay says when players talk about or mention a bunch of players they might vote for or suspect all at once, I think the idea is that doing it allows a mafia voting flexibility later on.

Wait. Loop has never posted in the forum at all.

@Hosts: Can you confirm that you know that Loop exists and knows that they are playing the game?

Hiya Illy! It's been awhile, but I think we played before once.

Before I comment on this, how attractive of a person do you think I am?

maybe never posting anything ever is a shiny new avant garde method of playing mafia

So you answered what it is but not my question that provoked hers? Interesting. Teammie helping teammie?

Timmer and LoRab are really raising my hackles with their votes.

Juliets Wilgy comment was a bit odd?

linki: Why Mac

Voted loop. For now, at least. In case I get distracted with sports ball and commercials and forget to come back to vote. They're either not playing or bad--possibly both. I'm making the (I think logical) asumption that House of Wax is not at all likely the civ choice (like, I can't imagine a scenario where it is the choice that is connected to the scoobs).

Also I'm surprised juilets is voting for Jack, he's inactive now yes, but in general he's a strong townie. Lynching him for being inactive seems a tad preemptive.

Wilgy hasn't been as Wilgy like, but that's not a reason to vote for him.

linki: That also seems like a meh reason to vote for someone.

I don't think juliets' post qualifies as player salad. She gave legit reasons why she is looking at each player.

MacDougall wrote: ↑Sun Feb 04, 2018 10:31 pmSo you answered what it is but not my question that provoked hers?

I don't have a strong enough suspicion to outweigh not playing and/or bad.

If Loop were playing, I'd feel differently.

IF they hadn't voted in the night vale pole, for a choice which is not likely civ and also not a likely random choice, I'd feel differently. Hence why them and not Jack (hasn't posted at all, but also hasn't acted at all). To know the game is happening and not posting reads bad to me.

And, again, I'll change my vote if reason. But, um, this is kind of a close game on my tv.

You voted for someone to see how they reacted, sig.

And if LoRab is right about the options (and knowing these hosts it is very possible) that's a very valid reason for a vote. Making a drive by vote for a dubious poll choice isn't really a great look.

LoRab wrote: ↑Sun Feb 04, 2018 10:10 pm Wait. Loop has never posted in the forum at all.

Loop received their role PM and voted in the Night 0 poll. This indicates that Loop is aware that the game has begun.

But Loop has been here at least long enough to vote in the night thread. It's weird that she (he?) didn't take five seconds to acknowledge their vote in any way.

Having said that, I don't find Lorab's other reason very convincing. When I'm a host, at least, I deliberately create polls where the choices have no thematic connection to any faction, so that discussion will be centered on who is pushing for what choice, rather than what those choices literally are. It's entirely possible that LC and BR are doing the same, or they could have flipped the choices so that House of Wax was the civvie option. It definitely feels like a stretch to go, "Well, that choice sounds like it would be a baddie option to me, therefore I think it's suspicious that anyone would pick it."
