Mafia / Re: TricMagic's ByoS Mafia: Stacking the Deck(10/10)
« on: March 27, 2019, 10:47:50 pm »
Only between IcyTea and webadict, the rest is pretty normal. I suspect dolores uses profanity in an effort to discomfit other players, because it’s more difficult to deceive when you’re upset. There’s a limit to its effectiveness, but we don’t need to go into that.

Mafia requires a bit of a thick skin because it necessitates people making judgments on you knowing there are people secretly working against them, and you will likely be called a liar and worse at some point. It’s not for everyone.

Case in point, what you’re doing now isn’t going to stop people from lynching you. Again, not because we don’t like you, but because your play so far hasn’t advanced the town’s interest. You have been called bad things, mostly in an attempt to get you to do something, but it hasn’t materialized so you’re being judged on it.

Aside from this, FoU needs to post more. webadict doesn’t care and he’s put some effort in. I don’t care and I’ve... well, minimal, but at least I have a grouping of folks I want to see lynched, which unfortunately for him includes FoU.

PPE: the hi thing was not great considering the point we were at. There is an expectation for posts to contain content, or intent to provide it, which hi didn’t do. It also came after webadict was maligning people for not posting, so it came across as deliberately callous and like you were trolling. In a game in which people are judging literally everything you say, it was not a good start.

Well I know that, I just don’t know anything beyond that.

I was also making an obscure joke about an old, and probably obscure parody of a song by a comedian who became obscure because of the direction they took their career.

It’s not personal, min. We’re not voting you because you’re roseheart, we’re voting you because we don’t think your alignment is town.

None of the things that were being voted on were legally binding regardless of whether or not they would’ve got a majority. it was basically parliament flexing its muscles because they have no confidence in Theresa May’s government even though they voted that they had confidence in Theresa May’s government.

They’re basically acknowledging no deal will be a shitshow, and they’re trying to look as though they’re doing something about it until the point they actually have to do something about. The last part is more of a hope than what will probably happen, because everybody’s playing stupid political games and not thinking about how fucking stupid they all look.

PPE: this was basically expected to happen. The last time indicative votes were used was in ‘03 for House of Lords reform. None of the proposed reforms got a majority, and no reform took place.

Hard Green Party based on... Everything he says and does.

He's fundamentally a hardcore ecoterrorist fighting overpopulation.
But he's inherently fascist, just look at how he runs his everything.  All must bend to his will.

I would say that’s more authoritarian than fascist.

It’s obvious he’s an accelerationist, wanting capitalism to just run its course and either free us from wage slavery or destroy the world in its endless search for more resources to exploit.

I would just go the fuck home. You should go the fuck home.

I would, but since I bus everywhere, by the time I would actually reach home, I'd be arriving at about the same time as if I left with my mom.

It's a matter of principle. Might as well have some time to yourself on the bus.

+1 and the bonus is you’re not with your mother.

20 minutes before my class ended, I got a text from my mom saying that I had to leave and go to her boyfriend's house. I thought there was an emergency or something, but no. My mom just decided to call me over, because she thought I'd rather run out of class early to go to the house than make my way home and spend a quiet evening on my own.

Wednesdays are the one night a week I get to spend time by myself, with no-one to hover over my goddamn shoulders, and my mom knows I don't like coming to her boyfriend's house, but she made me come over on a whim.

Shit on his carpet your mother to establish dominance.

I’m not sure the monarch dying would do that much, seeing as they don’t do anything, but I’m a staunch Republican so I would say that.

Anyway, this just makes the idea of some Tory Brexiteers supporting May’s deal because she’s leaving more sickening. This is apparently a game to them, and the goal of the game is evidently how they can secure more power for themselves within their own party while they allow the country to hurtle off the cliff.

Captured a landed "Very Large"(I haven't completed enough research to identify types) ship. Filled with Mutons. Ended up with several extra million just from selling the excess stuff.

For some reason, there's a ton of ships, both small and large landing on Montreal, and I just captured a scout ship landed at Chicago(my HQ is near D.C.) - landed directly on top of the city marker. Are they building a base?

I'm pretty sure you're going to get the answer in a month or two.

Good thing it's 92HP I have, then. I've found that it's helpful to allow the Karma damage to finish before healing, and sometimes it's better to just attack(since attacking is required to progress the battle) if you've still got plenty of Karma'd HP left.
I still haven't won that fight, but to be fair I didn't really want to.

You did murder everything up to that point to get the fight though.

Monster.

I was going to do more on the others, but I can't be bothered for various reasons, and I doubt reading through their posts is going to change much.

dolores has been the most active participant and is encouraging others to post, poking and prodding poor play and generally being a nuisance. Mucho town credit-o.

I don't see what they see in Tomasque's play, but Tomasque needs to deal with that himself so I can get a better feel on him because by no means do I think he's town.

webadict promised a post today, looking forward to that because his play has otherwise been curmudgeonly.

I will maintain that I don't want to read Nirur's posts. He's been on me all game, still on me in the skimming I've done. Has at least apparently calmed down? Trying to get people to comment on his case against me, which is based on an OMGUS. Probably not scum, though, but I will admit that gut read is incredibly tainted by how similar he plays to me.

FoU should probably be modkilled for the silence. At least roseheart has posted, man.

Nothing in the quicktopic :p

webadict and I wondering what it was, Tomasque saying he picked us two for our good play, and confirming he chose us before the game started.

Quoting your PM, which it looks like you kinda sorta did. Depends on how Tric interprets it. Might not since there’s technically no quote tags.

IcyTea is outraged because webadict is being a bit of a tit. He’s not the type of player to cut and run when his team go down. And if you’re right, there’d still be two of them anyway.

Anyway. Why is roseheart voting Nirur when IcyTea is allegedly more scummy?

IcyTea has been engaged with the game more than you have Nirur. You’ve been stuck on me like a “kick me” sign on a fat kid all day. Which I guess makes my thoughts on read order a bit clearer for me.

Also, given the way Kit made their claim, they’ll either be modkilled or they’re lying. Their reads list makes me comfortable with my read on them.

Also, assuming Kit’s read on roseheart’s reads list is accurate

I'm guessing it's
+: Town
~: Fence
-: Scummy (hey, I'm on that bloody list!)
=:REALLY scummy

Alright,

1. Icytea =
2. FallacyofUrist +
3. hector13 -
4. Failbird105 ~
5. roseheart +
6. Nirur Torir -
7. KitRougard -
8. Dolores ~
9. Tomasque ~
10. webadict +

This list is awful. How is FoU town? How is IcyTea worse than me or Nirur?  How is dolores on the fence? How is webadict town?

Why do you have four scum picks in a 10 player game? Do you think 40% of the town is bad? Why are me and Nirur scum when we’ve been at each other’s necks for the entire game? Why are me and Kit scum when he’s one of my top two scum picks?
