To be fair, Warden, I haven't been giving fake excuses this time around. I have no excuse for not posting except me not being bothered to post. I find getting that sweet Hunnic revenge on Goldfinger to be much more enjoyable than trawling through a mess of useless D1 posts (especially with Brainbomb and Krellin in the game).

@ghug: "Don't non-VTs receive our PM as well? Kinda makes Chaqa's concerned citizen bit suspect."

Then right after you post

"No, apparently I just noticed that in the Princess Peach description. Nobody else has it."

What are you talking about? Nobody else has what?

Also, where are you camping?

i think i want to shift back to ##VOTE xorxes, captainmeme's return from his lurk is proving enough for me to not want to lynch him D1

Funny meme -- useless results? I have 4 solid suspects by now. What do you have, lurker p.o.s.

If I thought we could gain anything by killing you, I'd be all over that.

krellin, don't refer to DO as he.

Also, I guess I'll respond to one of yoyo's 3 significant posts.

Did you not read it. What I said is if you're top scumreads can't get any traction but there are only people you think are town on the block, vote for the person you think hurts the town the most regardless of alignment.

i want that vote count

also, ##voteteacon

As disingenuous as I find YoYo's posting (and am more than willing to lynch him over it), you literally have suggested killing someone who is trying to catch up on the game after the person they replaced was too sick to post. This is not lurking, this is simply cause and effect.

As the Night drew closer, the crowds dispersed from Toad Town's Main Square. The End of Election Day 1 was promising to be the first of many interesting Election Debates. But while the results had looked certain only 15 hours ago, the polls had dramatically reversed! The end of day debate for Election Day 1 was shaping up to be the most volatile and dynamic of any election so far in the Mushroom Kingdoom!

Mafia XVIII Day 1

You have just under 5 hours and 42 remaining until the end of Election Day 1!

@Vash - Do you have an opinion on Chaqa and his VT claim D1?

@OB: Town Chaqa would totally do that. He especially seemed dissapointed at his role, meaning VT probs. However non-town Chaqa might do it. I.E it's non alignment indicative

What a political answer Vash. Pfft.

Hey Vash congrats on being a mod. Do you feel town is organized? Do you feel its more important for town to rally behind a scum candidate and how do you feel about your scumhunting abilities as compared to your ability to help town be organized and succinct? Also have you noted anyone this game who seemed overly angry or reactionary?

@Vash who are your top 6 lynch targets if you had to settle right now?

Based upon current vote count and my previous statement, I am updating my vote.

##VOTE Chaqa

@ghug, same question OB asked, what are you talking about?

@Vash -- "krellin, don't refer to DO as he. "

Why? is DO a not-a-dude? If so, I simply used "he" because 99% of anyone I have ever met here was a dude - it was not intended to be offensive. further -- when correcting a person's behavior, it would be nice if you provided an explanation WHY you are correcting them.

@maniac, nice wall o' text. I fail to make any sense of it. Can you actually state what you took away from the first 10 pages? You typed a lot, but said very little.

@maniac: I guess I called you out too early. Still though, do you have any thoughts on my system?
##unvote maniac

@krellin: I wanted maniac to post. He did. And actually, you make a good point... According to my own system, I'm a littleposter and this not useful to town. Whups.

@Meme funnily enough, the time I Key'd with you it was the only time it backfired very nastily. Goddamn unbreakable juggernauts.

Interesting you dont adress me in your defense post.

Pg11 onwards – more skimmed than read.

Teacon7 setting out his methodology for voting is Town tell.

Brainbomb surely can’t be dumb enough to believe in gambler’s fallacy and to suggest HR could be scum because he hasn’t been in 15 games is absurd. As I find it hard to believe Brainbomb is dumb, he must be lying about his interpretation of odds. Lynch all liars.

Warden’s defence of his attack on Capt seems OK. He then ‘feels’ Brainbomb is off.

Quite like Jamie v Brainbomb

“I will not be answering anymore questions until every lurker contributes.” – did the kitchen get too hot Brainbomb? (MQ6)

“If I've contributed nothing else, I'm proud that at least one person in this game has, at least in this single incident, decide to be transparent about his attitude toward a fellow townie.” Krellin (to Warden) – Krellin seems to know Warden is Town.

Is Warden’s continued push on lurker Capt just his way of looking busy?

Yoyo’s ‘hi’ was so provocative as to be certain Town or Scum with testicles of metal.

Krellin and Capt are unlikely scum bedfellows. I can’t see Krellin attacking Warden so vigorously and by extension defending Capt if they were a team.

“The logic is simple: we're going to lynch a town anyways, so lets lynch one that isn't contributing” – MoscowFleet – How do you know we’re going to lynch town? (MQ7)

Re: chaqa’s concerned citizen point – as an observer I knew what he meant.

Krellin – how should this game be played? You berate people for trying to read people and then berate chaqa for saying something ‘feels off’. You acknowledge d1 can’t give much info but close down debate about lynching lurkers because you don’t think it would give any info. When would you lynch lurkers (if at all), when should be go with our guts and when should we dissect people’s posts. Prey tell. (MQ8)

@teacon7 - I quite like your system, not because it will help find scum, but because it helps me town read you - scum tend to not paint themselves into corners but leave options open. You shouldn't worry that I'm going to be a lurker - ask around.

@OB - yep, I'll give my take away and reads shortly.

Yea maniac I was baking up a scum hunt quiche

By phone. I'm away from my notes so I can't reference all the things people have done that have stood out very well, but there have been some potentially valuable reactions to the pressure on meme that will prove valuable once we learn a bit more. This has been a relatively quiet D1 given our number of players, and I'm glad we've at least gotten something which may prove useful in the future.

Kremlin's toxicity has seemed more intense than his usual d1, and my point on brainbomb being off somehow has some limits in that my only game with brainbomb was last game. He seems different from that game, but his posts have more of a sense of artificial-ness to me, and his avenues of argument have been strange, but not enough for me to vote for him yet. Plus, he just made an appeal to audience that he attacked OB for. Lol

@ghug: How I am to know about captainmeme's performance in his previous games?

@Maniac: You took my quote out of context: I said that I have seen this logic used by others. I was not advocating it.

Just a question about the game: Are the mafia discussing in a separate thread right now? Or do they only talk during "night"?

##GM NOTE -

Mafia can only discuss their plans during the night. They have not had a chance to coordinate yet.

All previous game threads can be found in the OP if you are interested in reading any of them.

You know, in retrospect, that Encryptor role really wasn't all that OP when we did LOST mafia.

OB/xorx the role description for someone said something about receiving the VT role PM as well. I only skimmed the opening post for things I didn't know, so I falsely assumed it was for everyone who wasn't VT. ##CALLGM did any non-VTs get the VT PM in addition to their own?

I'm camping on Whidbey Island.


I don't like these wagons. Meme, who would you like to lynch?

@Warden "Kremlin's toxicity has seemed more intense than his usual d1,"

Utter *bullshit*

I defy you to PROVE this claim....this is just another random "krellin sucks" attack. Give me a fucking break.
