Not to mention when the game starts, if your posting frequency does not accurately reflect what happened pregame, you can bet your ass I'm going to be posting loads of analysis on why we should lynch you (yes, I'm even making empty threats now).

uh has this game started? i dont see a day 1 post or even a role PM
|
okay hi peeps
vote chaoser. that post reeks of redness.
p.s. still no role PM!
|
also where is the voting thread?
|
nobody in this game should trust gryffindor whatsoever. i read orgah and i have NO IDEA how he didnt die like 5 days before he did
also, he's a smurf and if you read this forum you should already know who he is ;\
|
it reeks of red because he is like "hey so theres weak powers in this game lol" which can only be known if he is a red, since if he was green he cant make that blanket claim and if he was a blue, he'd even be less inclined to make that claim
the only way he can do that is if he is red and he sees the red team has weak or no powers
|
yeah that would be... foolish
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
|
what?
that post makes no sense. like, i dont mean the logic, i mean the grammar (though the logic probably sucks too)

same reason you knew the mafia was weak?

pretty sure its better for people to post things in the thread -- much easier to catch red slips that way.
if people only post in these mini town circles, then people are probably more inclined psychologically to trust their town circle and not consider them red, etc.

you know i reply to shit if i am actually here
i was at quidditch practice. just got home. so yeah i dont respond within the two hours that im afk sorry about that i mean for real
in my "pile of shit" the third post, where i talk about chaoser's post -- and then indict GM's cells idea -- informs my vote.
and i would hope that i play differently now than i do when i am mafia lol
|
i dont really know why it takes more than one post to inform a vote
the cells idea was absolute garbage. so i am pointing at him. the whole "HEY LOL WE HAVE WEAK ROLES" is a ridic tell as well. what more analysis is there to do?
|
edit: actually, i take that back: i DONT hope i play differently when i am town and mafia, actually! i should change shit up
|
ok well i mean
i have great reads on both of them, but i dont know what else i need to say about it. can you tell me why chaoser and GM are NOT red?
the cells idea is horrible. why do we want to keep analysis private? there is no point in "bouncing off ideas" to a RNG "town circle". this only hurts us. why keep analysis of any type from the town? also, the point of these town circles is what exactly? to have people critique any analysis before "revealing" it? ok assume that is the case, then what happens when the mafia are in these cells? player A says "OK so i got an analysis on player D (outside the cell), who i think is mafia" player B says "no thats horrible, ________" and convinces A. A now doesnt say anything, to not look stupid (that IS the point of these cells, after all!). oops, B and D are mafia. we're fucked.
if A just came out and said "hey i have this analysis" B is probably less likely to defend D if it's blatant redness
|
i dont think circles actually force people to think. they inhibit it. and circles with mafia in them can really fuck with the townies.
|
zzz
did you not read what i said like 10 minutes ago
|
oh hey another smurf
why the fuck does everyone smurf? why are you all afraid of your skill?
|
ROL was the most town in merc mafia? he was mafia and, again, if the town actually listened to me, we won.
it's not my fault people are too fucking stupid to see the good ideas in the things i say. i really do not know what more i need to do other than scream "I AM A MEDIC" 500 times (in merc mafia, not here) and give 100% of my information to whoever asked. what else is there to do?
and really? in the other mafia game i attacked you because what you did made no sense. also, i was trying to take down people who were skilled and i figured i had the chance to do it with you (i did). i almost got away with it too. probably would have if not for ROL being veteran making me unable to kill him night 1 ;\
|
also,
"Remember, mafia has their own PM circle and if they want to discuss fake anyasis they do so in their own circles, town circles force them under individual scrutiny."
what? attack my scenario above please, dont throw out useless info like this and expect it to mean something
|
here is the funny thing. LSB is probably upset at me for what i did to him the last mafia game, so he is going to try to do the same thing to me that i did to him. i see it coming.
does it make sense? ofc not. is there literally anyone out there who actually likes this cell idea? i expect the rest of the reds to come out!
|
the wagon only rolled on me late in day 2, and it wouldnt have rolled if not for ROL pushing it.
and of course i knew ROL was mafia; he gave the vest to my guy who got instantly killed (stupidly). i knew he had the vest, i knew he gave the vest, and i knew the vest was used, since he said so in IRC before the kill came through. so i didnt need to do any elimination, i knew he was mafia.
at the end, kav was retarded and said "i dont want to piss ROL off because he is my mentor in mafia" as his reason for switching. literally. that was his reason. and once he did switch, i had to give us the best chance we had. i was going to medic everyone (assuming no deaths > deaths at night, esp. since mafia controls KP at night). so kav had a bomb going that i medic saved a mafia on... i was supposed to know this how?
that game seriously pissed me off and its funny how even now you don't see what was completely fucking dumb about that game.
|
anyway this is irrelevant to the task at hand
|
more like you are a name ive never seen before and you have 45 total posts and are playing TL mafia
and what you said didnt even merit a reply, tbh. it looked like some random attack to gauge reaction.
|
btw: called it!
who seriously didnt see this coming?
the sad part is i think LSB will do this if he is mafia or not. ;\
|
##unvote
##vote gmarshal
better than chaoser atm
|
TL towns are generally bad so i dont doubt lots of people like it. its still a very bad plan. i really, really do not understand why predetermined RNGed "circles" have any benefit whatsoever
maybe he is just another town who is also bad and came up with a bad idea, but ;\
|
"justify your vote" and all these similar phrases are hilarious considering if you just read the thread it is pretty obvious why i vote this way, and beyond that, i give the exact reason many times
|
that makes no sense
i dont know why this wagon is rolling on iceman
we need to be voting for people that actually deserve it, such as people who bring in horrible ideas, like GM.
obviously when there is 1 minute left if the vote is still close i will have to revote to iceman, but i would really much rather this wagon be GM/chaos or, if it HAS to be me (why is this always the case regardless of my role?), then me and GM.
remember LSB just has a grudge against me. go read 35. ive called GM out for a bad idea and actually gave reasons, and i'm red... where 5 people have wagoned onto iceman for a much worse reason and face no heat? think about it
|
i also would like to see the logic behind "i have been nothing but scummy all game"
what, specifically, have i done? i called out a bad idea and voted based on it. what else?
|
look at gryffindor's reasoning conveniently posted in the voting thread and not the main thread:
"Reasoning: Bandwagonning, and LSB believing he is scum. I also like the wagon more, excluding astroorion who I feel will probably come off of it due to being Annul's scumbuddy."
1, bandwagoning. by whom? by you, you mean? because i am entirely certain that i began the wagons on chaoser and GM. called them out ridic early in the game and continued to question the cells idea logic all game. so... ?
2. this is a bad reason. LSB has a grudge against me (go read survivor too, occurring right now, to see that his entire game plan in every game is just to kill me). why are you so sure HE isnt red? why do you trust his belief so much? its a very curious reason.
3. you like the wagon more. okay, i guess i cannot argue with that per se, since the iceman wagon is dumb too -- though i know i am town, so they're [probably] both bad
4. i do not understand the astorian comment -- a. i am not red; b. what has he done to make you think that if i were red, he is also red? cuz i must be missing something there.

Note the bolded that is a direct lie -> open voting thread -> see the first vote on GMarshal, in the VERY first vote, from yours truly You are lying.
read the actual game thread, not the voting thread. note my first vote was on chaoser, and note at the same time, i have been calling out GM ALL GAME. i realized GM was better than chaoser, so i switched. at no point did i "wagon" up on him. i have always been the voice against him.
if anything, YOU have wagoned onto the annul wagon.

1 and 2: "no explanation" and then "oh wait he gave an explanation i just don't like it"
3: don't use ad hominems; is my CLAIM false? who cares if i have a "psych degree" - it makes sense. nobody in TL mafia has a psych degree and there are psych analyses done all the time
4: i have the absolute authority to make value judgments that inform my vote. people asked why, so i told them. it still is a bad idea.
5: you assume i refer to proper analysis. maybe just a "i think D is scum because (reason why)" -- it doesnt need to be PBPA or anything detailed for B to influence A and tell them to stfu.
6: well, you are bad, then.
7: yes, the idea is still bad.
so basically you think i am red for railing against an idea that inherently harms the town? cool ok
|
i love how its "aggressive behavior" when you are responding to attacks in the same manner they are levied against you
this is why TL towns are inactive; there is an institutionalized disincentive to actually arguing.
|
i was afk
what do you want me to say? i think the die is cast, and either way its a bad outcome. town won't listen to me.

i'm here, F5ing occasionally, playing L4D2.
i can't really say anything since it will just be 'OMFG ANNUL IS SO AGGRESSIVE' if i do anything more, so i'll just stay AFK until we see the final vote.

like always, if i am in danger of lynch, i will have a post ready to go at XX:59 before the vote is locked, and if i am still in the lead, i post it with all of my information.
mafia is not a short-term game. it's a long-term game. just because i MIGHT be dead today doesn't mean i need to give up my entire hand. as it is i still think i have a chance, since people are jumping off my wagon. the problem is they are creating other, split wagons in the process... but with 90 minutes to go, i figure i should keep this up since it is working.
if you want to ask me specific questions i can answer them for you, but basic "what do you think" is fruitless, since ive been answering that and somehow that got me an 11 vote wagon
|
alright, i guess it is time to make my move.
i don't like iceman as a lynch, and to be honest i would really rather it be GM (even still). but that won't happen, and i need to save my ass. there seems to be a wiggles and a gryffindor wagon forming, and of these, i'll go with what i think is most likely to roll instead of me.
##unvote ##vote gryffindor

1. i am no more aggressive than i ever am. i play this game hard because there is no reason not to. i "go big or go home" usually. aggression is not a bad thing. TL players in general should learn to be more aggressive; it might cure the inactivity problem. nobody can argue that no matter what my role is, at least i make day 1 interesting...
that said, i do not feel myself being purposefully aggressive this game, and in fact i figured i wasnt being as hardcore as i usually am. but who knows, maybe it comes off that way
2. i was "easy to read" in 35 because i attacked LSB day 1 -- as a red -- with logic that LSB thought was crap because he knew he was town and i knew he was town. but i managed to convince everyone about it. i write pages and pages of stuff because A. i figured i could get him dead and B. it gave everyone else on my team cover. i knew i had to remove experience so my team could coast to victory on the back of the inactivity and inexperience remaining in the game. this was calculated and intentional. i still believe LSB gave me a good door to attack him through, even as he may disagree.
35 has nothing to do with 37. GM came up with what i still think was a crap idea, even if some people may like it, so i said such.
3. yeah my posts are related to GM and/or defending myself. it's day 1, these are the only topics at hand. when you get 11 votes of course you will be spending a disproportionate amount of time defending.
|
and my god if you want longer posts, give me the time to write them lol
|
i didnt realize gofarman's logic for voting for me. yeah that makes no sense whatsoever.
i cant exactly give you my reason due to an edict imposed onto me by ROL (i offer myself to lightning if i am lying about this). but part of it is "between wiggles and gryffindor, i like gryffindor more."
i haven't done any deep analysis on either of them really, i am only voting to save my ass. but others seem to have done so, so perhaps go with them?
|
survivor day 2 is about to begin, so i am probably going to work on the immunity challenge, unless i die to the SK tonight. if you really need me, PM me or something.
|
LSB: ive answered that very question twice. stop being a fail.
|
|
maybe you should quote the other ones where i give a realistic, probable example of the harm of these circles
|
no?
stop trying to distort what i say. the grammar in that sentence is very clear that "realistic, probable" refers to the example of the harm.
|
weeeeeell never mind about survivor, also fuck you SK.
|
translation:
"is this all?" no, obviously it's not all, when i have posts you are explicitly ignoring
|
anyone else around going to change off of me?
if not, i'll go afk and be back at xx:59.
|
voting ends in 22 minutes. he copied the old vote count list by mistake.
|
okay. well. time is nearly up and four votes wont be switching in the next three minutes.
here is what i have to say:
"i am fucking retarded."
when the game is over i will explain what i mean by this. it's almost certainly not what you will think it means a few days from now.
grats, i guess, to the town. you got lucky, since i play this precise way every single time i am town as well. oh well. you'll see it in mafia 38, i guess.
and i knew LSB would try to lynch me day 1 this game, which made me sad when i actually saw i was a red
1 down 4 to go!
|
|
83% of the time you would have just rolled on a town purely out of a vengeance principle
|
i wish i didnt get SKed in survivor now, because now i have no games to play
|
i had to have figured i would be going out early this game, so i played it with that knowledge in my head. i tried to set us up for a late game (which is what i always try to do).
i tried to implicate 3 people, so that town, if they went for mafia, would then waste votes on the other 2, and if they went for town, they would think "ok he just attacked towns"
it seems to me like i should just stop attacking on day 1 regardless of my color it seems to get me in trouble. i just cant wrap my head around this. i sign up to play, and i play balls out.
|
for the record i still believe the day 1 idea was fucking retarded.
my goal on day 1 for aggressiveness is to stir the pot and kill inactivity, and to make people talk. the way i see it, i would usually much rather play 100% and die in 2 days than lurk and survive to LYLO. if i am town, i am trying to throw mafia off their game plan, get people on the record, judge reaction, etc. if i am mafia, i am trying to appear as if i am doing the exact same thing.
like i honestly try to play day 1 and day 2 the exact same way if i am mafia or not. i think as mafia it is stupid to construct elaborate plans so early. you need more moves on the table before you can tweak shit up. so before we get to that point with some of the pieces removed, try to play just as you would a greenie. and for me, thats usually a strong offense
