Totally! It's... also only nine players, though. Seems to have skipped a bunch of them for some reason.

Wow that's convenient

Who's more trustworthy - Jim Groovester or hector13?

Would you like to play a game of Mafia? The subforum is always open to new players.

hector13 no contest simply through avoiding most of the Tric argument and not making bizzare semi contradictory or confusing posts like Jim has done

But why is he a bad choice and not a neutral one?

Because I want to lynch scum and TricMagic isn't scum.

Shouldn't I be trying to actively lynch the players I suspect? Isn't that how I'm supposed to be playing mafia? I'm really baffled at where these questions are coming from or where they're going.
Is a serial killer a bad execution? You're eliminating a threat to the town. If I had Tric's alignment confirmed to me as SK I'd rate his execution as fair, as opposed to good (executing scum) or bad (executing town).

This is pointless.

On this note. Is this a good game to actually skip the day 1 lynch? I'm a bit curious. and hat hungry, but eh.
Oh my god, no, I think I would quit. Didn't we learn that nolynch d1s lead to d1s all over again?

Spin:

Once you're next available, please respond to this.
Okay.


That's it, that's my response.

If you really want to use the argument that I’m scum because I’m conforming to my mafia self, then.

A. Why is it too unlikely that I’ve personally grown since my last game?

B. Are there no other factors that could trigger a difference in behavior?

C. Is that really sufficient reason to attempt to execute me?

D. Please provide examples and quotes to use for comparison instead of appealing to your authority as an ‘expert in Fallacy’. Justify what you’re saying.
Wow I don't have it in me to care about this tonight. Okay, fine, aliens probed you in the night causing you to personally grow into playing mafia worse.

That's it. That's my response. For real this time. After seeing the stupidly long post eight nine posts up where you respond point-by-point to Tric's rambling that you've already managed to manage him into posting three times now and waste even more posts on, you don't deserve any more of the air in the room. Good day, sir.

Quote
Funnily enough, your argument that I’m scum because I’m acting like scum me usually does is similar to Jim’s argument that Tric is town because he’s apparently within his town meta and needs no further explanation?
Well, Tric is within his town meta and needs no further explanation. If Tric is actually mafia here, or even a particularly hostile (like an SK) third-party, I would eat my aforementioned glass hat. This is a very common argument in mafia games around here and I think it is very silly of you to suggest that it is inappropriate (implicitly, scummy) that two players are both making it about two different other players. (I wrote this part before the earlier part, that's why it's politer.)

FoU is a mafia-ally. They're behaving like Webadict in FBYOR5. I'm done trying to reason with them at this point and it's a waste of time. They're wasting everyone's time and making everyone upset to cause trouble and help mafia. Maybe they are just mafia, but I think drawing this much attention to themselves is suicide and I don't really want to think about it anymore today. They probably realize Tric is very likely not to be mafia and that's why they specifically want to vote Tric out, because it's a merit to his team. I think this explains their shift in focus over the course of Day 1. [...]Jack, which players do you think are dodging attention maliciously?
You know what? I think this is incredibly correct and insightful.
I'll even give you one of my rare and highly valuable vote switches if you want, but you have to ask for it.

Goddamn it, Jim. (I'm neither a doctor nor a bricklayer.) You can't give up on Fallacy at the same time I give up on Fallacy or he's going to say we secretly coordinated giving up on Fallacy.

Fluffe, you asked for a summary of the arguments going on:

FoU proposed voting out Tric, because an overwhelming majority at the time thought that Tric was 3p, and a 3p lynch is better than a townie lynch, and there was a reasonable chance that Tric was actually scum faking 3p.

Jim and Max pushed a case against FoU involving problems with his case against Tric. You should ask for them to give you their own summaries of their cases, especially Jim, because I don't think they'd agree that my summary of their cases would be fair.

I pushed a case against Jim because of problems involving his case against FoU.

Most of the other posts have been discussions about the cases listed above, or mafia theorycraft or forum behavior requests like asking for quotes to be formatted in readable ways and suchlike.


PPE: Max, what you just said about nolynches doesn't seem right. I could have sworn that you've said that you hate night 0 because it makes games start on Day 2. Aren't those two statements directly contradictory? I do admit there's a chance that I'm mis-remembering who says that but...

What's your summary of the argument so far? Would you say Lenglons is close to being right?

I definitely didn't say that. I actually like Night Zeros, perhaps uniquely here. I even used one, man that was a long time ago. I admit it didn't work too well the time Fallacy tried it recently (I forget which, sorry) (Oh, right, here, you were in it too.), but I still like the concept. I like starting with more information.

Uh, sure, I guess. For me I think it was more like "I walked into this weird thing with previously-voted scumread Fallacy accusing Tric and Jim, two of my strongest townreads, so I intervened". Like I suggested last post, I don't even want to think about that ever again, though. This day one has lasted too long and I don't even remember how it started anymore.

Max: do you mind explaining what the important difference between a game with a Night 0 and a game with a nolynch D1 is?
(I actually agree that we generally should lynch every day including D1, but I find your reasoning here odd.)

After reading back, I don't think FoU's case on Tric is really genuine.

His suspicion of Tric starts here, he mentions that Tric is playing like he knows what he's doing and that's not like him. However at this point, most of Tric's posts have been RVS/hat related, I don't see how that is Tric playing like he knows what he's doing/outside of his meta.

He then follows it up here, saying that Tric is being aggressive.

He then says here that he'd be willing to vote for Tric, but not if he's a third party, because he'd rather find scum

He starts to focus more on Tric after Jim votes him for his read on Tric

But what's interesting is that here Fallacy says that he thinks Tric is TP, either an Outsider or SK.

and in his next series of posts, he builds up to what is essentially an information lynch on Tric here.

He almost immediately goes back on his theory that Tric is TP, and flips to saying that he's outright just scum. The only basis he provides is that Jim/Hector/NQT are potentially in a team with Tric. He doesn't even give any consideration that Tric might be TP until Lenglon brings it up to him a few posts later

and here he goes back on what he said earlier on wanting to lynch scum over TP, saying that even if Tric is TP there's a lot of information to be gained, but I don't see very much information to be gained from him flippng TP, in fact if Tric does flip TP

Thank you Mamobo.

Toony, still hold reason to vote Toaster?
No, I'm going to Unvote.

Can mafia-allies be in this game? *checks* Looks like they can, okay.

FoU is a mafia-ally. They're behaving like Webadict in FBYOR5. I'm done trying to reason with them at this point and it's a waste of time. They're wasting everyone's time and making everyone upset to cause trouble and help mafia.

They probably realize Tric is very likely not to be mafia and that's why they specifically want to vote Tric out, because it's a merit to his team. I think this explains their shift in focus over the course of Day 1.

This also makes me feel better about Jim.

I can honestly see this

FallacyofUrist.

I smell panic, and not the good kind of panic, where he's trying to stop the town from making a mistake.  This is the bad kind, where he's trying to save his own ass. 


Juicebox:  Sure enough to vote for Fallacy?



Again, first quick post to fire off what's important, and now some more reads.  It's close enough to day end for a reads list.

(I actually agree that we generally should lynch every day including D1, but I find your reasoning here odd.)
There may not actually be any reasoning behind it. In fact, the game I was referencing where we "learned" what I said also had a no-kill and it was my own fucking fault, too, I brought it on myself, on purpose. Don't worry, I get what I deserved in that game.
The difference between a game with a night 0 and a game with a nolynch day 1 is that I don't have to play through an interminable d1 for no reason in the first one.
I'm actually secretly going increasingly insane over this forum having progressively longer days 1 lately. I'm not even coherent right now. I don't even remember who's playing.
Okay, after running through all the players in my head I was able to remember everyone eventually, but it took me the longest to remember notquitethere, so let's vote him out to make it easier on me.
