I'll agree 100% about the "Eh. People have another life." bit - in fact I already "argued" with him about it - and your clarification of your stance on Bob's pushing for Lamplighter moves you to a Neutral position.

So, I guess my revised "Who's my D1 Preference" is still "No one. It would be hasty and wasteful" but if people are only happy with names than "Bob or Skull". But I would still refuse to vote short of someone having a power forcing it.

I feel gfish and JoH are making each other lose sight of the same forest. Reading them, they're disagreeing on methodology and personal quirks but I don't think either are Red Names.

I don't think Vlad's joyous relief is damning. We're all always happy to see that we can sit back and read the meat of posts as opposed to having to spend time defending against what may be frivolous accusations or scum moves (or legit ones).

I do take issue that you put a name in Red that you don't feel is that deserving but you just want to finish the rainbow. The problem is some people - Linkorism seems to be the newest term - are just going to look at lists and focus on Reds. You're damning someone you admit probably doesn't deserve to be there to having to focus attention on defense than reading / scum hunting just because you feel like it. That's a pretty shady action. It's like you don't wish to draw attention to yourself by not giving a full rainbow so you're using another player as a diversion.

Ok, still don't see anything that makes me want to vote for anybody, so I'm favoring no lynch for the reasons I explained earlier. And I'll add another one - I wouldn't be surprised if there's only like 4-5 scum here at the moment. Last game both mafias started at 3, plus a single serial killer. So I'd say we're looking at between 7 scum (2 mafias + an SK) and quite possibly only 4-5 scum (if we've only got one mafia at the moment and an SK/SK duo). Those aren't great odds for hitting scum, and given that I'm pretty skeptical D1 voting patterns will be that helpful later on (which is typically why you're fine lynching a townie D1 as long as there's trains and movement), I don't see a D1 lynch at this point to be a good thing. I would be interested in anybody who wants a lynch answering my "why do you think it will be helpful this game after looking at last game" questions, though.

vote: no lynch

I'll agree on gfish and JoH. Lots of snowing as kontrol put it but I won't discount the possibility that it's intentional from one or both of them as far as centering the discussion on them as opposed to exploring other avenues. I still don't have anyone that I'm definitely in favor of lynching today.

Hmmm, interesting line of thought. I must say I think it has merit if only because TSP admitted that someone shouldn't be where they are. If you're going to make a rainbow list, better to have reasoning behind it. It's why I haven't made a list yet. Too many people would be in the little/no read category and it would be marginally helpful at best.

@Fred

Leveled up. Got better.


Never got back to my pc. In summary @Vlad thanks for the read. @Bob I disagree with the premise that the mafia is probably not in contact and so relational reads are worth less in this game. I agree with the possibility that is the case. I understand your reasoning for voting no lynch but I do not consider that our best option. The mafiaS thing changes my opinion of you significantly.

I'm not sure I understand these two posts. You seem anti-Day 1 lynch with multiple lives not being a factor, and pro-Day 1 lynch since there are multiple lives. I know this is bad reading comprehension on my part, but I can't seem to reconcile these two posts. Help, please.

I agree with Rokk, that having someone being red just because is irresponsible at best, and scummy at worst. Your starting to slip downward with each post.

This post makes me feel more confident about you than I have so far. I think this is an excellent analysis.

Caught up.

vote No lynch

I was going to say that this is a strange reaction, since I don't actually know if I'm town or Mafia, so how could my post reflect an alignment... but I realize now that if I had rolled Mafia, I'd probably have a team in my role PM. Oh well, guess I'm town after all. Or maybe a sexy Indy-type!

Anyways, going to try to catch up today in bits and pieces.

This acronym did not reveal itself to me through a Google search. Please assist.

OMAC Moment - When a player slips up without even knowing it, truthfully roleclaiming him/herself as anti-Town. Can occur often in "Reverse Mafias." Originates from the Villains United game when a player honestly claimed as an OMAC, unaware that OMACs were earlier established to be evil.

Wasn't it over at 9am? 26 mins ago?

Nice. I like that term.

It's often used as a term to describe someone who by giving out truthful information reveals themselves to be scum. In the last game 2 players admitted to having BTSC thinking that would be common. It wasn't. They were scum.

It's not an acronym. OMAC is a comic book character and was a role in a game back in the early days. The player who was the OMAC ended up claiming OMAC before they realized that being OMAC was bad.

It's usually associated with making a statement or a claim that ends up being damning.

The best example I can think of recently is the last Hawtness game where the "theme" of the mafia was characters that had their own name in the title of the show. The mafia didn't know this or didn't make the connection and ended up claiming, or fake claiming characters that fit this criteria.

Yes, I see... but:


These are mostly flavour. Which would seem to indicate that they do not correspond to alignment. The best I can say is that I'll win when Nate Sineater is dead... but of course, I may have a second life where I AM Nate Sineater, so *shrug*.

Probably not though. Nate Sineater is gonna be someone who has played all the Hybridity games. Someone who has earned the right to that iconic role.

My second life in the last Hybridity was Michael, but only because Jack never died. He was supposed to receive that honour, and I was supposed to be Beastman or something... someone considerably more inconsequential to the over-arching storyline. And I get that.

I should probably stop discussing too much before I read up the first day, because I don't want to rehash things you guys have already, uh, hashed.
