Also. It's demanded of me that I say this:
I may be unavailable from 7:00 PM tonight to late 28th/early 29th.

I'm not entirely sure on the situation. I MAY be able to post during this time, but at the same time I wouldn't count on it to much.
Hopefully my contribution to the thread will be enough to impede the incurring wrath of Jimmmmm.
Pacific Daylight Time, to clarify.

Getting overly reactive is bad form almost always.

Hey that's what I'm trying to figure out.
But I do know that in mafia people tend to target the people that feel the most reactive to negative responses to a mistake/suspicious act.

You've been acting out the most in response to these.
This happened to me the last game, I got super defensive towards what people were saying, and because kept on poking the bear on me to see what would happen. It works.
People are suspicious of you for two reasons:
Your knee jerk reactions
Your low roll
I am a very reactive player when it comes to bad cases on me.

Your assessment is correct as to why people find me scummy.

But what do you think of Voltaire? His roll was even lower than mine, and you seem to be in faust's camp on that.

Ugh. Alright, gimmie a bit.. Going sifting through pages to look at Voltaire posts.
I didn't have much to look at.

Voltaire gave a low roll, people were like, "Wai?" and he just gonna shrugged it off with "I got a bad result."
Maybe this is really where being a low-reaction player comes in as an advantage?
People backed off because he gave his reason and kept on playing. What Ichi seems to have done is arguing back at the face of people that accused him, constantly trying to convince everyone that it was an honest mistake.

Like an innocent man being jilted out of the social circle because of something he didn't mean to do.

With all this said.. I suggest we kinda get off Ichi's back. See what he has to offer to the game other than defending himself and his roll.

Well obviously, scum has a vested interest in playing low numbers. I see the argument, but it's really 100% WIFOM. Aside from reads separate from the numbers that someone plays, there is no way to tell if they are unlucky town or lying scum. I hope that people see this.
To me, this is one of the things that makes this setup really interesting. It would be pretty dull if faust was right and it's just a cut and dry low number = scum (which of course it isn't).

Why do you continue to choose to ignore that the low roll is not the only thing I find you scummy for?
My roll was the first scummy thing you found about me--and it was the instigator to solidifying your reads on me.
I responded to your accusations and you found me even scummier for it. So, your calling me our for my low roll forms the foundation of your reads on me.

I am so tired of trying to argue this. In fact, I don't think I'm going to argue to defend my low play any more. If you can't see it by this point, it doesn't matter.
I don't have a direct response to Ichi here.. That said, people tend to act differently toward different attitudes directed towards them. This can be displayed easily by accusing something on something they did not do, they'll likely feel pretty defensive.

Ichi feels incredibly defensive about people's position towards him. His low roll calls him out almost automatically as scum (and rightly so).
No read on Volt?

I know you're new (and this is also a very different setup) but did you know that you have to play a dice if you roll over a certain number of dice--and also that these numbers are randomized?

Dah. I'm tired of this conversation anyway.
I know all of these things. Referring to what was already said, Scum has a vested interest in putting low numbers and defending it to make themselves seem like the unlucky town.

And I don't really have a read of Voltaire. *shrug*
Is that a big deal? I'm only pointing out what I found most significant throughout my little binge-reading escapade.
Well you know Voltaire played a 5 right? (I understand it's hard to catch up on 18 pages).

You're right that scum has those interests, but there will definitely be unlucky town as well, so how do you propose to tell the difference?

Well, Ash is arguing that not rolling is anti-town, and that claiming that you have a strong town PR that requires you to save your dice is a great cover for having a scum PR that uses dice.  I expect Ash to go after Mail-Mi for this regardless of Ash's alignment.  That being said, it feels a little more like WoT Ash (scum) than Innovation Ash (town).
Interesting. At the current moment I feel like a spectator analyzing the situation from afar.. Which isn't a good thing, as far as I can tell.

But I think it's pretty clear where Ash is coming from.
This entire time Mail-mi has had every opportunity to roll his dice, and there was no clear possibility that I would actually log on. Doesn't that come off as a bit strange..?

One last thing..

My supply went down from 13 to 15.. Is this due to being inactive, or did someone take my dice? Q-Q
*notentirelysureifIshouldbepostingthisinformationonlyplayedlike4gamesofmafiaonhere*

Well, first, 15 is bigger than 13 so there's an issue. (har har)

Secondly, slow down.  Do you understand what's going on with the monsters, the dice mechanic, the need for us to kill him, and all that stuff?
Yeah I do.
I've read through the roles and I was also in.. RMM14? 15? Something like that.

But I made sure to give myself a refresh on the whole dealio and I know what you guys are talking about.

Alright, so basically, (someone jump in if I'm misspeaking):

The troll is at 910, so we need 90 to kill him.  This means that if just you roll, you need a 10.  The number of dice you need to roll to ensure you do that to some probability can be computed.  If Mail-Mi rolls as well, then you just need 90 between the two of you.

I think the only person in the "Mail-Mi should roll before Box" corner is Ash, so I'd say go ahead and roll some dice and play a high number.
That entire situation seems kind of strange.

I don't really feel like pointing out the obvious, but it could be a pretty townie move to save his dice for a later date. But at the same time pretty scummy.
But I'd have to disagree with Mr. Ashersky, Mail rolling before me doesn't really make sense if we go by what Mail-mi is claiming.

11
Thirdly, don't give any info away without some kind of understanding that it's a good idea to do so.  Things like number of dice you roll, the values, your role, etc. shouldn't be freely disclosed.
Yeah I caught that.
That was me being a dumb.. 5 minutes ago. So I'll make sure to stahpit.

WOOPS! 15 to 13. I had that wrong. I keep getting confused by the down-to-up way of posting on Quicktopic.

Yay! Box has logged on. Also, I don't think you should tell people how many dice you have.
ERFGABLERGH.

I knew it!

My general idea from reading (*cough*skimming*cough*) through everything..

Ichi feels incredibly defensive about people's position towards him. His low roll calls him out almost automatically as scum (and rightly so).

Faust goes very statistical, laying down some pretty useful information to use as reference in the future.

Liopoli getting a lot of suspicion, not entirely sure on the guy.

Confused read on BA, not sure if trying to divert attention as scum or get confirmation as town with his ridiculously high roll.

And chairs rolls out an inappropriate joke *yay*


Does that sound about right? Cause that's what I grabbed from all this.
Also, I rolled my dice and the results should come in pretty soon if Jimmmmmm logs on.

Wow. 18 entire pages.. This is embarrassing.

My computer was locked down, so I have to do everything from my Kindle Fire. So expect posts to be kind of awkward and short.
Reading through everything ASAP so I can catch up and see what's going on. (No need to give me an update)

And this, folks, is why you don't watch porn from FBI headquarters.
Ha.. Ha..?

._.
I find that joke very hard to appreciate.

Oh good. I still have time xD

I was rifling through my email, like, "I DIDN'T GET A MESSAGE ABOUT PLAYING, DID I!? OH GOODNESS"
Thankfully that's not that case..
Whew!

I concur, great game, great job everyone!

The skill there was too intense. I think my suit got incinerated in the process..

BoxofDOG,
before we finish the day , I want you to agree on targeting mail-mi with your voyeur power during the night.
Slightly reluctant to do so because it's 1-shot, but sure, I'll use it.
You just better not be scum, Xeiron -_-

Box, why have you ignored my request for you to tell us all what exactly it is you suspect of me? What good is it to express suspicion without saying what is suspicious. Oh, right, to direct Town without getting your hands dirty.
A large portion of the way you defend yourself, the way you're acting, and especially what Xeiron says that you claimed as your flavor.
I've been in one game with you, but this DEFINITELY is not how I would expect Town!pps to act.

The way you defend yourself is dodging, and making it look like you're actually answering the suspicion.
You proceed to then accuse Faust, who very well could be scum, but so could you.

And the flavor.
If that's really what you claimed.. Oh my dear goodness. The most blatant and obvious lie I've ever seen.

Wait.. THIS: A king sits in his throne staring out the window. He reflects on all the terrible things he’s done to reach such an important title. His methods are just like his window - painless. But that doesn’t mean they aren’t harmful. And now, after all this time, he wishes for his wife to return to him again. His daughters have all married off or were lost in the fold. His only son has suffered much deceit and deception and no grandchildren can be called his own. No advisers around to captain his decisions. All certainly could’ve be stopped a single golden touch. His curse is what started all this terror and turmoil, and it is that which will soon end it all.

Is Pingpong's flavor claim?
If so.. What? No. Simply no. That's King Midas.

UUUGHH.

This entire thing just keeps drawing on.. For pitty sake.
I just got back home, and had to read through five pages of bickering between Ashersky and Pingpong. Two people I suspect.

Someone just vote for Ash and I'll finish the job, I'm safe enough.
(Also, Ash has already made his claim and defended himself PLENTY. Suddenly killing him off would have no effect, seeing as we have all the information we need to analyze.)

Can I get on record here as saying you popping your LR was not a good idea?  You threw everything off and actually made it harder to catch scum.
Popping my LR?

That saved me, chairs, AND you.
Why in the WORLD would I not reveal, seeing as it made me an IC?
Jeeze la' wheeze.
vote: ash

It didn't save anyone.  Well, maybe it saved whomever was being NKed, since it would redirect it to you, but chairs and I weren't saved by you.

We were investigating each other, and we both ended up investigating you.  That's what I'm saying is the problem.
Well, for one thing, HOW would I even know there were MORE cop-like roles?

Complaining about it now gets you no where, it just makes you annoying.
The INTENTION was to PREVENT deaths, which somehow didn't happen.
