Unless I'm mistaken it seems like poppy is in lead position for prettiest princess title. Her post on setup seemed pretty premature to me given the amount of information we've got. Although I didn't get the feeling that she was role fishing through that post as lift did. Don't think I'll be voting her just now.

Nice to see you playing dedo-senpai, I'll do my best and make you proud. :)

trentonlf: Flub's play is never terrible, just often misunderstood. Either that or he's not drunk yet
I think you misunderstood. I wasn't saying his play was terrible, but that it could be terrible and it'd still be worth having him around.
:P

avatar
supplementscene: It's also Joe's fault SPF got lynched.
I think that's a bit of a stretch. No one made me overanalyse Vitek's attack choices, and if I hadn't been pressed into revealing my observations too early it probably would have just petered out.

avatar
flubbucket: So you're claiming to be town who has no chance of being lynched or night killed......
...
avatar
supplementscene: Well roleclaiming in the first page is certainly against Town's interests. Mafia will now know not to try and kill a bulletproof player. Town will lose the chance to block a Mafia night kill with a bulletproof player. But could Poppy be claiming to have an important role early because she is in fact Mafia playing a LAMIST? I don't know, but it's the only wagon so far.....
...

Seriously guys? You read that as a claim?

SirPrimalform: [...] I would totally switch my vote to you at this point if I didn't know you were town. [...]
Sucks when a town player is mod confirmed, eh? Eh?

SirPrimalform: Hey, even if his play is terrible, [...]
Did I say his play's terrible? I only questioned the term "active player" and flubbucket linked together.

flubbucket's not the type to make ten posts per day (note: not Day) filled with comments and analysis of every little thing that's been said.

Do you consider this to be terrible play?

Is this a sign of some sort of early senility?

gogtrial34987: [...] (And, FWIW, I distinctly recall ZFR deliberately overemphasizing his newbie status in a recent couple of games, so it wouldn't surprise me that much if scene also went that route.)
Up until this bit, it sounded like something about supplementscene bothered you. But here you bring up the ZFR example (he was town), so I'm not sure where your leaning is.


avatar
gogtrial34987: [...] Thank you for your thoughts on Dessimu and Joe. What investigative results do you think Joe was hoping to get with his vote on you? I personally wouldn't really describe his behaviour as "investigating thoroughly". Do you think he's just faking it? Or what are you referring to?
Also, I note that you didn't answer my question about Poppy, despite most of your early interaction being with her. A bit later on in your post, you do however describe her as "very helpful and friendly", though. Did you at that point believe this to be genuine? Has your impression of her evolved since then?

Just to confirm, you have read and understood the C9++ setup document, right? [...]
I'd like to hear his thought process on these as well.

Define actual vote during RVS.

HypersomniacLive: Sucks when a town player is mod confirmed, eh? Eh?
Maybe it does for you?

avatar
HypersomniacLive: Did I say his play's terrible? I only questioned the term "active player" and flubbucket linked together.
Nope, and neither did I. I said even if his play is terrible. As in: In a hypothetical scenario where flub's play is terrible, his confirmed status makes him good to have around regardless. You're the second person to have misunderstood me so I must not have been very clear.
avatar
HypersomniacLive: Is this a sign of some sort of early senility?
I don't know what you're implying but my hip hurts.

PoppyAppletree: [...] or HSL might just leave that vote there whilst others move onto more serious votes. [...]
So you consider RVS votes serious ones, your own included, just not as serious as those to follow?

Which other games?

PoppyAppletree: [...] but I'm not going to dig up previous games for examples - that's not my style. [...]
That's also a very convenient way to throw shade on others without providing any sort of anything that could be even remotely seen as evidence.


avatar
PoppyAppletree: [...] Analysing players' posts should always be the main focus of play, and I don't want to distract from that too much. [...]
But you did want to distract from that, just not too much?


avatar
PoppyAppletree: Right, that settles it. I'd kept silent to see where you went with this, but this pattern of picking a player for RVS and then conveniently building that into real suspicion is your scum play, Lift. As such,

Vote Lifthrasil

I hope nobody mistakes this for an OMGUS vote - as noted, I've been watching Lift to see what he does. I keep notes on reads, and the second post I quoted is marked in my notes as "giant red flag".
This sounds like you've observed Lifthrasil doing the same thing in at least one other game, so much that you're convinced it's a scum-tell. I'd appreciate it if you'd share with the rest of us where you've seen the above mentioned pattern. And no, saying that it's not your style to dig up examples from other games won't cut it.

SirPrimalform: Maybe it does for you? [...]
Nah, the extra couple of rounds of bourbon I got from him left me with the utmost respect for him as a member of our community; he is a true Innocent Child. So much respect, in fact, that I helped him heal his bruises, and clean all the blood from that brutal beating he took unjustly.

But nice dodge.

I left the second part of your comment out for a reason, and it's not because I didn't understand you on second read. It's because my second question to you, which you left out from your quote, along with the context, is more general, hence I'd still like you to answer it.


Also, could I have a bump? Have a few more things, and don't want to make this post too much of a wall of text.
bump.
Votecount incoming
Thanks, mod.

This is the second time you bring this up now. What exactly are you doubting about the mod confirmation, and why?

Could you point me to my early aggression towards PoppyAppletree?


avatar
supplementscene: [...] or the irrelevant reason for voting? [...]
Could you elaborate on this?


avatar
supplementscene: [...] Sorry to hear about your friend anyway and any absense will be completely understandable.
Last game, Sage103082 being sick in bed was not a satisfactory explanation for you, yet PoppyAppletree's situation leading to her absence is completely understandable... Interesting turn.


On a side note, would it be possible for you to try and quote only the parts of posts you're actually replying to/commenting on?



avatar
dedoporno: I don't know what you're implying but my hip hurts.
I get that every now and then. It helps to limp, especially if it's the right one.

Eh, you know me - I question a lot, but conclude slowly. I wasn't leaning at all when pushing, just trying to see what type of reaction I'd get, and yes, overemphasizing newbieness could come from either alignment. Right now I am thinking about leaning, but let's see where this goes first.

avatar
HypersomniacLive: Define actual vote during RVS.
Fair enough. Let's strike the word "actual" from the record.
I don't actually recall if you usually participate in RVS with voting. Do you? And was that different the last time you and dedo played together?
avatar
dedoporno: What's the point behind all this exactly?
avatar
Bookwyrm627: To look busy.
A failing which no one will accuse you of, at this point. Do you have any insights to help us move forward?

avatar
JoeSapphire:
Same question for Joe when you return from your farm (what is that a euphemism for anyway?)
avatar
gogtrial34987: Do you have any insights to help us move forward?
Not really, personally I'm still mostly reliant on sarcasm and dry humor. I'm mostly interested at Poppy and Scene but I'm not putting a lot of weight on either one being D1.

Speaking of Poppy, this is our first game together so I have a couple of background question to get aligned - should I address you as a male or female (I'm not the most tolerant person of modern social constructs so I'd limit myself to these two options if that's OK). Also, have you participated in a GOG forum mafia game before? If yes, how many?
avatar
trentonlf: Ok you say don't think extensive setup discussions benefit town, so why even start a discussion about the setup? It will lead to us talking about potential roles scum have and that inevitably leads to roles town might have to counter act such roles, how does this give town an advantage on Day 1? I loathe PM talk or role discussion, it breaks games and only really benefits scum in my opinion.

Vote PoppyAppletree
Nice to see you're consistent. :)

avatar
PoppyAppletree: HSL's scum game is so strong that I favour a high standard to read him as Town, and even then I'd remain suspect. If he's not dead by day 3 or 4, lynch him. If he is Town, he's far too much of a threat to the Mafia to let him see the endgame.
avatar
trentonlf: So you are saying we should lynch HSL if he is still alive after day 2 because there's no way scum would leave him alive so he can only be scum if he is still alive??

This sounds like a setup for a lynch come day 3 or 4.
I wouldn't be opposed, but I think it would definitely tell us something. Given HSL's needling method of questioning where he takes a fine-tooth comb to everything, he makes a very effective scum hunter.

avatar
PoppyAppletree: Right, that settles it. I'd kept silent to see where you went with this, but this pattern of picking a player for RVS and then conveniently building that into real suspicion is your scum play, Lift. As such,

avatar
trentonlf: I've gone back over Lift's posts and from what I can see he's behaving like town Lift, and I agree with what he is saying.
That's interesting.

avatar
PoppyAppletree: Glad I'm not the only one who noticed that. I'm wondering what that tells us. Mind, we might see an unvote fairly soon, or HSL might just leave that vote there whilst others move onto more serious votes.

I think the only setup detail I'd like to analyse at this point in time
avatar
gogtrial34987: Just to confirm, but your second paragraph about the setup detail was in no way related to the first paragraph where you're responding to dedo respondong to HSL, correct? Would it be fair to characterize it as completely out of the blue? Or did I overlook someone making an oblique reference that prompted you to start down that path?
Yes, they're unconnected. The second part is more a response to myself than anyone else, as I continue to think about the setup. I've not played C9++ before, so it's quite interesting to me.

avatar
supplementscene: I'm not sure that's the case but I do want her to explain what she hopes to find with this and the 'I'm glad I wasn't the only one who noticed that'
avatar
gogtrial34987: Presuming to speak for dedo and Poppy, since this is something that you genuinely wouldn't know: HSL's title is "The Reluctant Voter", and that's his reputation as well, with him frequently not voting until right before (or 1 minute after) deadline. So to come out swinging in his very first post with an actual vote is pretty remarkable.
This.

avatar
gogtrial34987: @Poppy: Have you ever been scum before? If so, any plays you can link us to?
Yes, but not on GOG, sorry.

avatar
PoppyAppletree: [...] or HSL might just leave that vote there whilst others move onto more serious votes. [...]
avatar
HypersomniacLive: So you consider RVS votes serious ones, your own included, just not as serious as those to follow?
Yes. I don't think RVS should ever be fully discounted, as for scum they are never truly random, even if a Town player might pick theirs without care. There is always some motivation behind them.

PoppyAppletree: [...] Analysing players' posts should always be the main focus of play, and I don't want to distract from that too much. [...]

I have absolutely no intention of indulging these questions. I consider them petty and frivolous, and I have no desire to be put on the defensive as it is an inherently losing position. I've modded a game in which you and Lift have been scum, providing insight into how you operate as scum players publicly and privately, and read other games in which you have played. I have a well-documented objection to digging up previous games as evidence, and I will stand by that. If that fails to satisfy you, then I'm afraid you'll just have to deal with it.

I can only assume a misunderstanding about the setup. The only player who could be bulletproof is a Serial Killer, and only if they chose to be (unless ZFR made the assignment himself).

I don't think scene is the only one with some doubts about flub's status. I'm 90% sure it's true, but I read "twist" as a bastard element, so it leads me to question the announcement.

avatar
supplementscene: So in that sense I get that you're trying to insinuate thar Poppy maybe distracting Town in this post. And in Posts 56 and 57 @Bookwyrm and @dedoporno seem to be reading that too. I'm not sure that's the case but I do want her to explain what she hopes to find with this and the 'I'm glad I wasn't the only one who noticed that'
The point about HSL's status as a reluctant voter was addressed by gogtrial, but to answer your your question, I mostly wanted to spark conversation and get people thinking about the C9++ setup. I think it's totally fine for those thoughts to be kept quiet at this stage, as long as people are thinking about it.

gogtrial34987: @Poppy: Have you ever been scum before? If so, any plays you can link us to?
Oh, and as a follow-up to my previous answer: if it helps, my scum game isn't very strong.
