  • I will put my vote on Shiny so that is does not look like I am holding my vote or whatever - I am not a special. I don't really believe in the whole holding vote thing, but I don't have any reads to go on.

    Normally this would come off as a bad post to me - not really any reads to be had per say with no discussion up to this point and I also don't like people claiming to not be special - you either claim special or you don't say anything at all. However, this seems like a genuine post from Da just given the way he posts, IMO.

    Except he still made the self preserving vote to push Shiny into a tie with him. If he is claiming to be a regular civ, at this point, you don't need to self preserve like that. I would have been more likely to switch off of him if he had thrown his vote elsewhere.

  • I think Da was screwed where ever he placed his vote.

    If he throws it away he gets called out for still being able to self-preserve.

    Normally that is what I would do, but I got run up last game for not doing that because everyone said I was holding my vote - which, again, I think is bunk. If I had a good read on someone, I probably would have still thrown a vote their way, but I haven't seen anything this round that stands out

    It still comes off as a bad post to me. But dxl is right- da's move there is going to look shady no matter what.

  • Oh and of course Da wouldn't have any reads, these are all the people so far with one word vote posts and that's it:

    smiley
    toogs
    gsterp
    raise
    shiny
    utf
    jtp
    knight
    evo

    fixed, jtp shouldn't have been on there.

    smiley - thought you wanted to argue?

    knight - why no RNG this game?

    shiny - your on the block anything to say?

    For what its worth, I am playing diplo with Shiny and he hasn't returned any of my messages this morning - so there is a chance he isn't here. Or he just doesn't like me.

    It wouldn't be worth voting him off if he can't defend himself.

    DaDeacs

  • Doesn't Shiny live on the west coast?

    MisterSmiley

  • Da putting his vote anywhere other than Shiny would come off bad. "Self Preserving" does not seem relevant to me with significant time left in a round. That vote doesn't preserve anything unless it comes in at the last minute and saves him - which is what he could do if he voted for someone else there.

    7erps

  • Yeah, I had kind of the same initial thought on 7erps' post, too. It seemed to be trying way too hard to be benign without actually being helpful.

    switch to 7erps

    MisterSmiley

  • DXL calls out knight and smiley and then they both show up. Knight, at least, showed up with a good post. Two fluff posts from smiley.

    fearthenoodle

  • 7erps posts come off as not fluff to me. If I remember more when he made stupid posts as mafia is past games they weren't even talking about people in the game, rather stupid non-sense.

    Saw the opportunity to shake things up with putting Shiny in the lead. Looks good so far.

    I gotta say...I don't like 7erps throwing out his analysis of DaDeacs post. Why did you do that, 7erps? We get it - it was very likely a legit post from DaDeacs. It fits his play style. Most of us know that.

    The post 7erps made re: DaDeacs is a tale tale 7erps mafia post. Almost every time 7erps is mafia he has a page 1 vote and a fluff-like post on the second page. It's like clockwork.

    What's even more strange is that 7erps put DaDeacs in the lead over Shiny (without any reasoning), made the above post saying that DaDeacs is genuine, AND then didn't switch off.

    Way too much activity from 7erps this round.

    ***Switch to 7erps***

    You are incorrect, but what else is new.

    I did that to get discussion going, and that's what happened. As someone pointed out there have been plenty of people with one word posts. I also voted for raise, then switched to Da until his post. I have not switched yet but there is time left in the round, I wanted to see what else would come out of the discussion.

    As mafia, why would I go out of my way to bring this attention on myself? I always lay low in early rounds unless I am getting heat, both as civ and mafia. So your analysis, as usual, is incorrect.

    It's day 1, any analysis at this point is almost completely useless.

    MisterSmiley

  • KnightAtWake said...

    Da made the civ play. There was more than an hour and thirty minutes left in the round. On Day 1, a vanilla civ places his vote where he can't switch off at the last second there and eats the RNG if he has to.

    .Heaven. forbid that Shiny is the Angel and got caught AFK. DaDeacs keeping himself in the tie helps us.

    So me saying this is fluff and mafia, but then you come back and say the same exact thing and that's acceptable?

    Lol nice

    Yet, you bought into knight's analysis enough to where you switched your vote right after his post.

    What about DA and Shiny leads you to believe that they are more likely to be mafia than 7erps?

    MisterSmiley

  • No way Knight and Smiley are teamed up, I just cannot fathom a world in which the two would be stupid enough to move in tandem like that.

    I didn't buy into his analysis, I just had the same thought on 7erps and hadn't realized that he had stuck with his vote on DA.

    I don't think either DA or Shiny have done anything that makes them look likely to be mafia. We don't have that much to go on, but what I have seen from 7erps makes him look more suspicious than either of the guys who are currently in the lead.

    ***Switch to 7erps***

    Can I also get a ruling from the crowd on this statement?

    I have gotten scrutiny from a lot of players in the last few games for not being as active as usual (because I took a new assignment at work). However, this week work is slow so I am back to full participation mode.

  • MisterSmiley said...

    I never said that, I was simply stating I don't agree with Knight necessarily about 7erps posts being fluff.
