I have a problem…..

[Andy MacLeod]

Wait... is this the right thread?? Obviously, I need to readback a few pages 😅

[Gudrean]

Yes @Andy MacLeod you are in the right place, just placing some brews out to see if I can catch any mafia that are looking to either get smashed or maybe make a dollar selling these lovely brewskies! My logic could be flawed but I'm new at catching scum/wolves/mafia etc.

 

@Millon What is your problem sir?

[Turin Turambar]

Ooh, peoples. How is everyone? Ready to expose the mafs in our midst?

 

Can I ask a favor? If everyone could read through and quote 1 individual post that made you think that's really sus and then tell us why it bothered you. Please and thanks.

LOCK CLEAR!!!!!

Heres mine.

 

This is a post I like less every time I see it. The fact he repeats it perks my ears up. Right now it is back burner thought, but I can see this as Zander trying  cover Cairos with his town leader shtick. The fact I am suspicious of Cairos makes me wonder why Z is so sure he is town.

I have a pretty good D1 game solve start

 

2 lock clears and Turin Wolf 

 

 

 

Expand  

If Z flips mafia, then 1 of Cairos and Andy will also. If Cairos flips mafia, then Z likely is also.

 

2 random lock clears on newbies, ( and pushing me ), not good.

Calling it, he gonna say "vibes" or some other rubbish.

I'm gonna lol so hard if the Wolf team is all or like 2/3rds new players lolololol.

 

Andy sus AF.

 

It's prolly Turin and 2 new okayertrs and he's coaching distancing in Wolf Chat lolololol.   

 

I need to hear others opinions especially on Turin and the new players slots.

Expand  

This one for me. How Zander is talking about Wolf Chat coaching, while talking to Andy who is backing up the voting he is making, while calling her sus af. 

 

Could be innocent, and more people than there are wolves have been casting suspicion on Turin, but without a lot to go on this is the most suspicious. 

 

That and Mills voting for me, though I'll wait to see if he persists before taking offence and deciding there is an ulterior motive. 

 

Question: what does lock clear actually mean? That you are definitely town?

Here, Dear, you can hold on to these pants. They're the ones I mended the other day. *pats @Donchadh's cheek*

 

Careful with that long sword of yours... you wouldn't want to lend yourself in trouble with this GodFather fellow the kind sheriff told us about.

 

I do think this Turin was very clever with his words...

VOTE: TURIN

Expand  

This is a weird vote. Not because it's on me, but there is mostly joking with other people and then the vote with little to back it up. I originally thought it was Donchadh as he had posted just before.  

[Sooh]

Just stopping by to read up, but I see Z hasn't been around yet. Honestly pooped after a day of looking after my kids, so I think I might reward myself with early bedtime and reading in bed. I'll try to post some from work tomorrow, but it depends on how busy it is. I got a "new job" at the new year. I'm interrim assistant principal at a middle school, so my days are busy busy 🙂 I say interrim, because I'm just replacing somebody on long term sick leave, so we'll see how long it lasts. 

[HeavyHalfMoonBlade]

Meh. Donchadh, Gudrean and Sooh have been very quiet and not accused. So if they were wolves they would not need to do anything. 

 

Turin, Dice, Zander and me, I guess, have vocal in being detecting townies, hut could be running interference on purpose. Zander perhaps more throwing memes about than detecting. 

 

Andy, Cairos and Mills have been quietish and encouraging some suspicions, with little backing. Well maybe Mills does but he is wrong about me. 

 

Congrats, Sooh. 

 

 

[HeavyHalfMoonBlade]

Definitely don't think anyone is lock clear yet. Not by a long shot.

Lock clear generally doesn't happen until after at least one end of day phase.

Sus is sus. 

 

Fair enough,  if you had to make a case to vote Mills or Cairos,  which would you pick? 

 

Why are you suspicious of Andy? I have some meta things but I'm not ready to go there yet.

Expand  

 

Andy has meta? I thought he was a newb.

 

Ok so exactly who ARE the first timers plz?

[HeavyHalfMoonBlade]

Me, Andy and Donchadh. 

 

Did Gudrean also say she was a first timer?

Expand  

LOCK CLEAR is a term used for someone you think is definitely town. Sooh is right that it is uncommon to be categorised as such before End of D1/N1 once some flips have happened. 

 

I looked at that Zander post and thought it would be hilariously on point for Z to be the wolf with 2 less experienced player and he is trolling us projecting on me. If that's the case his team is likely Cairos and Andy.

It is a meta reason,  not his meta. IYKYK

 

I'm not going into it though.

Oh my. I couldn't imagine being substitute principal to a bunch of tweenagers. Then coming home to toddlers.  You are Wonder Woman.

You could still be mafia though 

 

[HeavyHalfMoonBlade]

That is kinda the way I am thinking as well. (Zander, Andy, Cairos) though it is a pretty vague suspicion and they are not necessarily all guilty if one is. 

 

BUT it would also be pretty hilarious if Zander was right and you were Mafia and controlling the chat. 

[Turin Turambar]

LOLOLOLOLOL 

 

That would be funny. It ain't true but it would be funny. I ain't gonna lie, I have controlled a game with a new crew as mafia before. 

[Gudrean]

I am indeed a newbie mafia player

 

I shall search for things to quote why I think Cairos is wolfy but might take me a while to wade through it all lol

Ok so are we voting Turin for day 1? Thats where I’m seeing the voting going towards. 

Expand  

so far this is what I have found but he's not the only one doing the "hey we're voting this one" thingy so...

[Andy MacLeod]

Yup, first time and, off the record, I'll play this once 'cause you are all nice, but I hate games where you have to throw dirt at others. Frankly, there's enough of that going on in the world. End parenthesis. 

 

For me, it was the stuff Turin said that could be true either way ("we can't protect you at night", speaking to the cop/sheriff, is true whether if he's Town or Mafia). It felt like a clever use of word that must be hiding something (like Moiraine tells Verin, when Verin comes to help Rand escape because Verin was at best playing with truth in what she told Leanne).

 

I'm kind of taking the same approach as when rooting out the Black Ajah: find lies or inconsistencies... In the same post, Turin used "we" to suggest he was Town and it seemed a sign of strategy. 

 

Since then, overall, he's been pretty good at shaping the conversation... Good player or Mafia? 🧐

[Turin Turambar]

Andy, you are right that pretty much anything can be used to manipulate. My intention was to try to teach some things I've learned in my experience with the game. My saying I'm town and speaking using town perspective is pretty much universal and I would in fact do it when mafia. Which is why I say look at not only the words but the actions and look for consistency.  

Day 1 is the hardest day because there are no flips which are usually helpful in finding mafia. 

 

I can see how you might feel that we are throwing dirt at people. I think it is we are all play acting and might be casting aspersions at each other's characters in game. There are no real hard feelings between players. It is all a game about trying to get people to agree with you. 

 

If you elect to not play in future games obviously that's your choice. Noone thinks any less of you for that. This game isn't for everyone. Some people have difficulty with the aggression of certain players. Some just don't like having to lie as mafia. Some don't have the time to devote to games which in cases have been hundreds of pages of big posts.  It's all good. 

 

Ima fair player IMO.  I am town but I would say all this as mafia so...trust your gut, I guess.
