Well you didn't present a good alternative did you?

Why is it his job?

RIP Reywas. Sorry we didn't lynch someone else.

It became his job as soon as he said, "I told you so." :P

I don't know, the same way you seemed to know he was town before the lynch.

Do you suspect me for this?

My goodness gracious, that was a beautiful save! Now I'm pissed off, so we're taking things to the next level of spreadsheet geekdom.

Standard Format Nice to put all the votes up there but tricky to analyze in its own right. Lots of mental gymnastics. Let's take it a day at a time:


Day 1: Votes are listed in alphabetical order. Do not try to infer intent from the order of presentation. This is just to show how many civvies/mystery folk were on each train. The far left column is who received votes. The rest of the cells show who voted for that person.

Day 1's chart isn't all that useful because things are a little too spread out. CBob and Nova complicate the mix with their unknown identities. Let me know what you think you see here. Lots of civvies picking up votes though.


Day 2: Four of the five people who picked up votes are guaranteed civs. Go back and read Day 2 again. Who seems all too relaxed through this guaranteed mislynch? It's unlikely all the baddies voted together, so think about who isn't colored in green and how those names being split the way they are make you feel about them.


Day 3: Same exercise. Both major trains are civvie. Who's too chill through all this? Who's rationale looks forced? Mind the vote splits. On a day when there's no risk, baddies don't have to be as careful with splitting but they also don't like bundling votes together too often.


Day 4: Based on your readings of Day 2 and Day 3, how do you interpret Day 4?


Spend a little time on this. We can still turn this thing around!

Yes, a bit. But mostly just bantering because it's fun

G-man, that's a lot of data. I was sort of hoping you would share your conclusion from it.

Obviously speed is bad.

Make your own conclusions and share with the class. If everyone doe it, we may find consensus and sort this thing out.

Alright cool because it never happened. I voted for reywas and my original response was a joke.

[mention]G-Man[/mention] Is all that analysis what you've been basing your reads on? I could see a Kylemii/DDL/SVS in the vote stuff you're looking at. Also can't rule out Sabie... maybe Luna.

I'd have to go back and see who was more chill on double-townie lynch days, but wasn't everyone? At least, to some extent.

Sorry gang, I missed the text portion of rey’s presentation!

As some of you know, I'm just getting back into the game after a lengthy hiatus while I was getting my shit together (ewww) and turning my life into something I'm not ashamed of. I really did miss you guys, and a big regret is that I ever left in the first place. DharmaHelper is a bad ass player and always has been, so while I have no clue how he used his role so well as to win an award it does not surprise me in the least that he's won this one. He, along with S~V~S, juliets, and Epignosis are pretty much responsible for making me want to play again. I really missed the banter in the game and the excellent conversation everywhere else. This is a smart group and i very much love being in the clouds with ya'll. Also, when you find yourself eye rolling like a mofo at one of my in game posts, you can direct your ire at those 4 for being so gottttdam charming.

CONGRATS TO DHARMAHELPER!!!!!!!!

And now, the highly anticipated conclusion to the Best Mafioso award. Everyone mentioned is a finalist except me.

Best Mafioso - a play in three acts.

Act 1

Spoiler: show

JJJ: Ah yes, the Best Mafioso award. I'm showing it to you because you're so not scummy. Not like all those other people.

Spoiler: show

Yes, you'd never do something scummy to get your hands on this award. You can look at it while I expose my back to you and make myself vulnerable.

Spoiler: show

Act 2

Spoiler: show

Dunya: Ugh, clearly somebody killed JJJ to try and steal the Best Mafioso award. It's so obvious that it was -

Spoiler: show

Scotty: And now dunya is dead! In Scotty's opinion, it were -

Act 3

Spoiler: show

Speedchuck: Then... then... it was you!
Golden: Yes! It was me. And now I'm going to do something really scummy to make sure you won't talk...

Spoiler: show

Spoiler: show

Golden: How do you feel about this scummy me?
Speedchuck: I like it!

Curtain Call (winner):

Spoiler: show

Congrats to Golden and Speedchuck, joint winners for Best Mafioso!

100% wasn't expecting that.

and also for finding love in this crazy, mixed up world

Clearly nobody is doing anything to stop this ceremonial slaughter. The police don't seem to care. The paramedics can't keep up with the mounting pile of corpses.
Everyone without a Socky is growing restless. It's all very sad to see unfold like this. One presenter had grown so disenchanted with the evening that he decided to order himself a pizza and eat it in a back room. It had so much cheese on it that his pulmonary artery actually exploded inside him. With fire. That's why you get fucking light cheese, dude. Or maybe he was just killed by somebody else while he happened to be eating that gross over-cheesed mess.


The autopsy of his colon revealed something interesting, however. Somewhere in that horrid pile of cheese, he must have lost and then eaten an iPod mini. It contained only one file titled "Best Independent"...

CLICK


Day 5 begins now. You have 24 hours to lynch someone.

We gotta take charge y'all we are getting stomped. I say we should try for ddl again.

Or speed tbh I really think he has some bad looks.

I was mildly pinged by luna admitting to suspecting me for a thing that literally never happened last night. But it could have been completely inconsequential.

His vote progression in the rey lynch in particular, and I'll have to look back but I don't think he was in a stellar position in previous ones as well. And tbh not just his vote progression but most of his posts on d4 were really pingy, like his responses to you and go-with-the-flow-ness.

What’s the abridged version of the DDL case?

His posts in general have an awkward air about them, and he latched on to easy suspicions such as reywas and myself. This post in particular sticks out:

I agree. This sounds like the easy path to baddie victory.

[VOTE: Reywas] aubergine

I'll take the non-lazy option. At least there is some precedent to mafia faking meltdowns.

He pats himself on the back for not joining the "lazy" sprityo wagon when the alternative was another townie so easy for him to take advantage of.


Also, holy shit there are only 8 of us left so it's getting down to POE as well.

Is there a reason I should town read SVS?

Although in terms of POE the only players I'm remotely comfortable calling solid townreads are SVS and G-Man, and even those are only the lightest of greens. Any of you could be bad and I'm very uncomfortable.

Sloonei wrote: ↑Thu Feb 07, 2019 11:52 pm Is there a reason I should town read SVS?

I personally do but I don't know that I could defend that view with concrete evidence, it's more of a feeling, but if I had to point to something it's her volume of content, and maybe I have recency bias again since her style reminds me of GOC but I figure she's capable of faking that so maybe I shouldn't be so optimistic.

Why should I townread you sloo whoop de doo?
