New York 131: Tricycle Mafia (Day 5)

[Nobody Special]

Unannounced thread is unannounced.

Pacific Time (aka the REAL timezone), over 30 games (not that you'd know it, I still suck) and I'm online all day but working, so ....sporadic. And don't stalk me here, it pisses me off.

(Cranky NS is cranky.)

[Nobody Special]

Sheep me then, and make a large bandwagon that will force people to react to it.

What the hell. Why not.

Vote: Maxous

[Nobody Special]

Pine, meet Thor. He does this. This is Thor in action. Get used to it.

[Nobody Special]

I have no clue what just happened. I'll have to reread this entire thread all at once, I guess. And I prob won't post till Monday morning.

[Nobody Special]

This is a pressure vote.

You're doing it wrong.

[Nobody Special]

I can't believe how blind you guys are.

I mean,

really.

Vote: Mastin

[Nobody Special]

Hi.

So, life exploded at the end of last week, and I've not been around much. (You can check my site activity, if you don't believe me; I've been modding my games and making a few non-posts in non-game threads.)

I'm currently reading (on page 15 now); I'm currently leaning Sith over Toon, but that may change.

If I've missed any questions, just ask.

Oh, and my Mastin vote. It was a preliminary pressure vote because he wasn't posting enough (not frequency; think wordcount).

unvote

I'm very aware of the deadline. I'll be on late tonight and most all day tomorrow.

[Nobody Special]

KoC: Why do you think there might be more than one cop? And can you give some reasoning for your latest vote?

Thor: OMG this game. You're posting a lot, which is good, and you're saying stuff, which is good. I can't really say that you're posting a lot and not saying anything, because clearly you are. But I have this feeling in the pit of my stomach.

[Nobody Special]

WTF? How is that rolefishing?

[Nobody Special]

[Nobody Special]

Why don't I believe you?

[Nobody Special]

OMG this GAME.

Waiting for A) Mastin, B) my re-read of DK D1 (and D1 overall), C) my head to stop exploding.

[Nobody Special]

I seem to recall some kerfluffle from outing your scumbuddies, but I'm not sure it's against site rules, per se.

I'd prefer that don't hammer until I finish re-reading Day 1, but that's going to take me a day or so.

[Nobody Special]

EBWOP: I also want to find the thing about Mastin's day power that someone just referenced. Also, Mastin, why haven't you mentioned that request?

[Nobody Special]

Okay, here's the deal: I really, really would like to read some past Mastin games. However, given his reputation for... well, you know, I fear that doing so would take me far more time than we have.

But I have to. I have NO clue how he plays, at all, either town or scum, or 3rd party. This is my first game with him (if memory serves).

I'm getting a tad uncomfortable with his Absolute Surety that we're going to win. It fells... well, scummy isn't the right word. But it really pings my radar.

Let me know if you would or wouldn't mind me taking the time to explore his meta and see what (if anything) I find. (Still re-reading Day One.)

[Nobody Special]

Thanks, Mastin. You've saved me a bunch of searching time -- now I can concentrate on just reading. And I've read a bunch of your stuff in MD, but I don't think theory has any real-life connection to actual gameplay, if that makes any sense.

[Nobody Special]

Please tell me where I accepted what he said at face value. All I said was that he saved me some searching time (searching for his games, as he TOLD ME WHERE THEY ARE). I'm still going to read the games myself, if I didn't make that clear enough.

I'll thank you not to underestimate me, nor to misrep what I said. In the future, if you think I've done something you disagree with, how about you ASK ME what I meant?

How dare you. I'm going to try to say this as gently as I can, but I do think I have a better handle on how to play mafia than you do.

[Nobody Special]

I am not going to argue this, because it would detract from A) my reading [of which I have TONS to finish] and B) the game. Let's agree to disagree for now, and I'll yell at you properly later. Good?

[Nobody Special]

I .... don't like this idea. Why the rush? It's not like there are bankable deadlines in this game.

I am about halfway through my D1 re-read. What I really need is to read Mastin's old games.

I've seen Newbie!Town claim scum for whatever reason. DK could be an idiot; we don't know. I am not so convinced Mastin is town. His repetitiveness about "we're gonna win" just rubs me the wrong way.

[Nobody Special]

Fine, if the majority of people want a hammer, I can live with that. I can keep reading overnight.

[Nobody Special]

I think Pine is trying too hard (and therefore scum). I think Mastin is ....Mastin, and therefore unreadable.

Everyone else is below the radar. My vote for today will be on either Mastin or Pine.

If I could just figure out which one's town ...and which one's scum.

[Nobody Special]

Just, you know, hypothetically: Does anyone see a potential Pine/Mastin scumteam here? I mean, besides me?

I could certainly go for a Pine lynch today.

Silver is almost certainly town. This is not his scumstyle.

I try to read nhammen's walls o doom and all I hear is "no u".

This game, I swear.

[Nobody Special]

This game, I swear.

You know I've seen mafia do this before as a excuse to lurk and to avoid taking solid stances on any of the players in the game.
Explain why Pine and Mastin are a team please.

I didn't say they were. I just put out the idea as a hypothetical. I have seen scumteams argue like this.

[Nobody Special]

Is that directed at me?

[Nobody Special]

I say we lynch Pine today and Mastin tomorrow.

I could get behind this.

Pine, if I'm holding a banana, everyone can see it's a banana. You don't have to explain to everyone that it's yellow, it has a peel, and it's a delicious fruit. WE GET IT. IT'S A BANANA.

In much the same way, you're scum. We don't have to explain it. You just ARE.

[Nobody Special]

I LOVE BANANAS

[Nobody Special]

You personally being against bussing has no bearing whatsoever as to whether your teammates would bus you.

[Nobody Special]

It appears I'm not voting. Time to rectify that.

Vote: Pine

[Nobody Special]

Because he's

a banana

scum.

[Nobody Special]

^Banana.

[Nobody Special]

Note to self: Investigate nhammen meta. ISTR that he doesn't lurk as town.

[Nobody Special]

Yes, more Pine votes, please.

[Nobody Special]

And if a Pine lynch does'nt happen who would you choose Nobody Special?

Either you or Mastin. But I'd have a lot of reading to do.

[Nobody Special]

Okay, so.

I don't feel the Max wagon. I DO, however, feel a Mastin wagon is possible. I'd rather lynch Pine, as he's scummier (if that's possible), but I'll go for Mastin. Okay?

unvote

Vote: Mastin2

[Nobody Special]

Okay, I was probably wrong in my hypothetical of a Mastin-Pine scumteam.

[Nobody Special]

But then, WIFOM.

[Nobody Special]

I just don't trust that you're telling the truth.

[Nobody Special]

Well, Mastin hasn't exactly

claim-

claimed, if you know what I mean. He's

suggested

several things.

I'm ready but Pine seems to want a claim. So, whatever.

[Nobody Special]

OMG, Pine has more posts than Mastin.

[Nobody Special]

You

do

realize that you've already been lynched, right?

[Nobody Special]

I've had an incredibly hectic weekend. Have to re-read most of the game.

Not thrilled with Pine (again, or is that still?).

Should have real content by tomorrow or Tuesday.

[Nobody Special]

Prod acknowledged. Have had a weird coupe of days. More tomorrow.

[Nobody Special]

Fail NS is fail.

I promise content before tomorrow morning. This is my most behindest game at the moment and has my top priority.

[Nobody Special]

@ NobodySpecial and Nhammen
What are your reads and why.
Failure to post adequate reasoning with your reads = vote from me
Failure to reply to this in a timely fashion = vote from me

Still think Pine stinks.

I believe he's playing very well, for scum, but I still think he is. Reasoning? All the sames reasons I've stated throughout the game. I've just re-read today and parts of earlier stuff, and Pine's iso.

Vote:

Pine

Won't you all join me?

[Nobody Special]

Okay, a few things:

Maxous, I'm sorry my catch-up post was so disappointing. It was, however, 3 in the morning, and I honestly don't even recall writing it.

Zepher: Other than asking me what my reads are, I honestly cannot find a question from you to me that remains unanswered. Stop being lazy and just ask me again.

Pine: I swear. I just.... FNARGLE.

Silver: You aren't an idiot.

Are you, by chance, a Jester?

Forgot this is a Normal game. You also get a FNARGLE.

I must say I would not be too surprised by a Zepher/Pine scumteam.

For today, Zepher can hang. Overnight I will read past scum interactions and go from there. We're getting uncomfortably close to deadline.

Unvote

Vote: MrZepher

[Nobody Special]

@NS
Confirmed scum. I directed a question specifically at you and Nhammen. Nhammen answered. Why don't you read the thread?

OH RIGHT BECAUSE YOU'RE FUCKING SCUM I FORGET.

Zepher:

Other than asking me what my reads are

, I honestly cannot find a question from you to me that remains unanswered. Stop being lazy and just ask me again.

I DID READ THE THREAD. Did you read my response? NO.

If I die Toon is pretty much fucked for tonight.
Just thought I should point that out.

I'm sorry, what?

[Nobody Special]

You still skimped out on the question NS.
And yes I ignored that in my head, I'm sorry.

Do you have ANY reason for voting me?
Or are you voting me just for the sake of voting me?
Do you even think I'm scum lol?

Also, I said that if I die, Toon has no chance of surviving tonight.

Good lord. Stop being dense.
I KNOW that you meant that Toon "has no chance of surviving tonight" what I want to know is WHY you feel that way? I thought you were thinking he was scum anyway? :: checking iso :: No, you've pretty much spent the entire game (AFAICT) bi-tunneling on me and Max.

And I wouldn't be voting you if I didn't think you were scum. I mean, really now.

[Nobody Special]

A quick skim of night-deaths suggests you have successfully blocked someone twice. Now to re-read in chrono-context. But I likely won't get to that till late tonight.

Also, please share your N1 result on me. I'm all ears! If it comes out a certain way, I can explain (hopefully to your satisfaction). (No softclaiming here, no sirree.)

[Nobody Special]

Wait. You're treating it as foregone that I'll be lynched.

[Nobody Special]

Wait. When did I become the best lynch?

FFS.

[Nobody Special]

I normally wouldn't claim until I was at L-1, but I already was once, and deadline is looming, so.

I'm a 1-shot bulletproof Townie.

[Nobody Special]

Well, I missed your vote. I just looked at the last votecount.

[Nobody Special]

Hi.

This game NEVER HAPPENED.

That is all.

[Nobody Special]

BECAUSE I SUCK OKAY

[Nobody Special]

Hi.

This game NEVER HAPPENED.

That is all.

I mean, except for the great modding. That can stay.
