Hokay, so I am composing this post as of 1:30 AM mountain time, at the start of night 2.
I am writing this post now because tomorrow is my last day of classes at the university for the year, and my uni has a great big drinking party thing on the last day of classes every year.
As of 8:00 AM I will be busy getting trashed and will be away from computers at least in any kind of coherent state for at least 24 hours. I’m going to save this as a draft and try to pop by at 10:00AM right as I’m unslienced and get this posted. This means that this whole post is done without knowledge of the night kill or night discussion
Also being silenced super sucks.
In regards to why I think I was silenced:
Honestly I was as confused as most of you when they silenced me, and it was completely unexpected. Thinking more on it, I have distilled it down to a few different scenarios.
On the low yomi end of the scale:
- LGP is mafia. I voted him, AC listed him as a suspect, MP listed him as suspect, they silence me so I can’t push for his day 2 lynch
- mafia is legitimately concerned about me putting in the footwork and doing those lists, they silence me to stop them (or for higher yomi, get their own person doing them with slightly incorrect lists)
- The silencer didn’t play last game and doesn’t realize that my gut reads are quite bad, and was afraid of me having some sort of good read (worst reason)
Higher yomi:
- LGP is civ. I voted him, AC and MP suspected him. They silence me and kill them to get us to kill LGP
I personally lean towards the idea that LGP is a mafia.
In regards to the idea that I am a mafia and was silenced to try to build trust. That idea doesn’t make any sense. Honestly, the way that I play (non-confrontational) lends itself to living for a while (see SAD living to the end of every game). If I was a mafia why would I bring myself into the spotlight by silencing myself when I could have just cruised along in the shadows. It simply doesn’t make any sense, but I understand why people have to consider this idea.
My responses to things asked of me while silenced.
Spoiler
What do you mean by more detailed? If you want me to give the posted reasoning behind votes like what DukeC was doing at the end there I can totally do that, just never thought of it before.
You are right I should have had switched vote to AC. The reason why I didn’t was because I just wasn’t playing attention to the part where he voted for Vynce before. I wrote the extra bit about hecatom because he de-voted literally one post after voting so it was super obvious.
To all the other comments mentioning things that I missed in my post tallies. My bad, I tried to get them all right, but some of them were missed to human error (I was drinking that night), and some got chopped off due to the stupid fucking draft system on srk. There was deffo no malicious intent on my part.
My top 6 list at this point:
- LGP -Like come on it’s so obvious at this point. Sneaks in the last minute vote on AC day 1. Starts day 2 on the chopping block, then somehow squirms out of it with like what, 2? posts doing the entire day (I wonder who came to his aid)? On top of that puts in the vote that kills OZ, who honestly had been fairly non-suspicious for being OZ this game. (Aside from the stupid I got no PM I cant be mafia play). It would be very very difficult to convince me not to lynch him tomorrow
I am only really confident in LGP, the others I’m less sure of and their numbers are more interchangeable
2)WAH - Comes off as very panicked in his posts, cluttering up the thread with a lot of low value posts. Also near the end of this phase, if people were less on the ball he could have forced tie by repeatedly stating incorrect vote totals. Is hard to get a read on just because of quantity and content of his posts, but something about him really rubs me the wrong way. Also didn’t like how he was insinuating that the couple of mistakes I made on the day 1 vote thingys were malicious, while I am completely unable to defend myself.
3)3SL - He has been super erratic with his posts. Y’all already know this story. The role claim day 1 was crazy, the suicidal aggression on the chief was super weird, just generally all over the place, and even if he is trying to help the civ cause, not really helping by causing so much chaos (chaos in the thread always helps mafia).
4)ForgeDigger - To me, she’s been playing almost exactly like she did last game where she was mafia. Team somuchwork and such. Isn’t really committing to suspicion of anyone except for a big post on OZ. Lots of “if you do the legwork and put yourself on the line I would consider voting for them”.
and my longballs
5)The Chief - I really want to say that hes a mafia, but I just can’t pull the trigger on it. He was right from his comment earlier of switching up his playstyle, as he is playing this one pretty different from last game. I have the same mafia-y feeling on him as I did last game, but seeing as last time he was UC I’m pretty sure that my gut is wrong. I do not think that if 3SL is mafia it clears Chief, as he is definitely clever enough to pull a Kansas City Shuffle with that spat in order to drag more value out of a mafia that is on his way to the grave.
6)BlindKnagg - This is my “feeling myself” gut read. He’s here as I feel that he could be the quiet mafia just skating by. Last game the only person that I really felt strongly that I could trust was him, because I was getting a certain vibe off of his posts. This game I am not getting that same vibe, his posts feel much more skittish, also much less participation. @Blindknagg I would really like to see you participate more if you are a civ, I really appreciated your insight last game.
People that we need more participation out of
GodotsRevenge (suspicious quiet)
MANX! (went totally under the radar this phase)
Pietastic (kinda suspicious quiet)
Exodus. (want you to help more)
Augustus (as much I appreciate you swooping in and fucking with everything at the end of this phase, maybe more posts less panic attacks? augustus pls)
SAD (kinda suspicious quiet)
The Co-Jones (super quiet)
I’ll need to re-read the thread again tomorrow and try to catch some of the things I missed (Haven’t really gone back and looked at who orchestrated the OZ death yet), but for now this is my feelings on the overall state of the game
TL;DR
I’m going to be gone for at least the first half of this next day phase if not more.
fuck it just read the rest of the damn thing its not that bad
