Game Thread Cryptid Mafia

[Kirino]

I'm not a fan of a Rubik lynch since he's a strong player and can potentially be bullied into being more active. I've also played a couple of games in which he was fairly inactive (at least early on) and ended up being town, although he was IC in one. If we're going to lynch an inactive, then I would prefer Mido, as he's also barely contributed.

I don't think they seemed like clearly joke votes, so maybe that's what's swaying my thoughts on it. SMS softed vanilla out of nowhere, and then got votes. To me that makes sense, because it seemed like a weird soft. And since SMS also was unsure if they were joke votes, I'd expect him specifically as town to question them more than he did.

I actually didn't pick up on the soft at the time I made my vote, so I assumed all the others were joke votes too, although they haven't said anything about it either way. I'm often annoyed at early softs/claims, but I believe I've seen SMS do this before, so I don't know that it's suspicious. I still think his questioning seemed fine, but I see where you're coming from.

It is interesting, though, that he voted for Sun based on flimsy reasoning immediately after you suspected him, as if he was feeling the pressure from the votes and your suspicion and wanted to deflect attention. Sun was perhaps a convenient target given my half-joking suspicion of him. This alone makes me slightly suspicious of him, and I actually don't think he'd be a terrible lynch: it'd be relatively high-information, and we'd only lose a VT if he flips town.

I'm going to bed and won't be around for EoD, but I feel comfortable keeping my vote on SMS.

Rag jumping votes really opportunistically makes me a bit suspicious of her. Feels like her scum/3rd party play. But Rag can be kinda unpredictable so I can't say for sure.

i open most games this way as either faction afaicr

if he gives me a reason to believe this is the case by EoD i might move my vote

 

[The Sun Fan]

my first real read of the game is that Leslie is feeling like he is solving the way I felt he did in Pen's Penultimate game, so that makes me feel somewhat comfortable leaning him town

Unvote
Vote:Mido

 

[The Sun Fan]

Unvote
Vote:Mido

hello, Giri
I hope you are well
for what reason(s) have you voted Mido here?

And since SMS also was unsure if they were joke votes

But I knew they were joke votes, I read into them as such from the get go.

Sun was perhaps a convenient target given my half-joking suspicion of him. This alone makes me slightly suspicious of him, and I actually don't think he'd be a terrible lynch: it'd be relatively high-information, and we'd only lose a VT if he flips town.

The difference between my vote on Sun and your shade on him was my vote actually pointed out something worthwhile to talk about, and to hopefully get more info from Sun. It did lead to him talking, so I'd say that vote was perhaps the first productive vote of this game and it had more substantial reasoning than anything else before it.

You're right that my death would mean little, I wouldn't call it high info though.

Moving on, I'm too lazy to go back and quote the post, but I never said Sun is scum, I said he could be scum, so I think that's a pretty interesting take away here that he read into things that way. I will take into consideration the info Zinger shared that Sun was genuinely bothered by his NLP before the game even started, I still think it's not something to freak out too hard over.

Unvote

I'm not comfortable blindly lynching Rubik, lately his inactivity has been NAI. I'd prefer that he gets active, however.

I agree that Rag's flip flopping is really weird and I could see myself voting there, but the more pressing matter at hand is:

Unvote
Vote:Mido

What made you change your mind on a No Lynch? Are you just voting Mido because others are?

I think I could end up voting Giri by the end of the day. My only hesitation is that I don't know if scum would ever propose a no lynch, the move is just weird, but then again Giri is a really weird player.

 

[The Sun Fan]

I responded as such because you voted me
I can talk for 99 posts about how I don't want to kill Rubik, but then if I vote him, it would be kind of silly for me to say "relax, I never said I wanted to kill him"

cuz the vote really implies otherwise
I never felt like my life was in danger here, it'd just be weird for me not to talk about it, SMS

I think Minish is right that you're weird here

 

[The Sun Fan]

Rubik - 3 (Cynical Squid, Ragnarokio, The Sun Fan)
Mido - 3 (Storm, Rubik, Giri)
Spiritual Mask Salesman - 1 (Kirino)
Cynical Squid - 1 (Mido)
Zinger2099 - 1 (Moe the Moblin)
Moe the Moblin - 2 (Morbid Minish, Zinger2099)

Unvote - (Spiritual Mask Salesman)

There are other reasons to vote besides wanting to lynch someone, you weren't in any danger and it got you talking which was the intent. A vote isn't always concrete, you know this. I don't think I'm being weird at all, I'm just playing the game.

 

[Morbid Minish]

But I knew they were joke votes, I read into them as such from the get go.

Also is there any particular reason you all are voting me, would you say these are still joke votes?

Why ask this if you knew? If I know people are voting me jokingly I don't comment on it. Unless it's also to joke.

 

[Spiritual Mask Salesman]

I think you forgot Funnygurl's Giri vote.

Unless things change It looks like Rubik or Mido are going to be lynched. I think we could do better. @Rubik @Mido with only a few hours left you both are tied for the leading wagon, anything to share?

That was asked like hours later when RVS was clearly over, Min.

 

[Morbid Minish]

I could go for Giri over either of those.

 

[Morbid Minish]

Yes? How does that make any difference.
You still asked it.
