[Newcomer FM] NFM17 | Game Over [Mafia Wins!]

[Alzar]

I have to depart so I'd like to say my goodbyes.

It was nice knowing you Alzar. RIP

FIGHT M E!! FIG HT M E!! IGHF TGM E

[Arckas]

Oh yeah, and I'm a notorious phone poster.

[MaccaMania]

Alright well it is now my time to go. Night guys, try not to get shot.

[Lisq]

Oh my... I was just joking!!

I think I'll keep my mouth shut for now.

[Lisq]

It's 3:25 am here, so... time to go to bed. There's a night in the game in 5 minutes I believe so... goodnight!

[Alzar]

@anyone confused: The joke is that for my first 3 months in FM, I kept dying early on as a new player. Like, I was doused N2 in TFM6, killed N1 as Godfather in GFM, and died twice in CFM6, and those were just my first 3 games. It's somehow become a stupid meme of "oh lol alzar dies n1 every time xdxdxd" that's followed me for like a year.

FML is a little bitch for continuously referencing it.

[Alzar]

Welp, that's it for the day. Good night all!

[Arckas]

Good night thread.

[ObiWan]

Wesley was just about to scout ahead when he heard something in a nearby bush.
He pretended not to hear it, and gave the other two boys a stern look, then glanced over to it.
They nodded that they understood.
Walking near it, Chris dog piled onto it. A loud groan was heard, followed by some nasty words exchanged.
Chris pulled the man to his feet. He was covered in dirt, and looked as if he had not slept in days.
Jack took away the mans gun, and patted him down. He took out three more knives ... this was suppose to be an assassination.
"I'm sorry," the man said. "I need the money to pay back my gambling debts."
"We understand," Jack said. Then he pulled out his gun, and fired.
The other two looked at each other in shock.
Jack was becoming more violent and ruthless by the day.

FMLSheWas12 has been shot by a member of the Mafia!

Last Will

That's what I get for teasing Alzar. This is awkward. Karma's a bitch. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Thank you Obi for inviting me. Hopefully I wasn't a crappy IC, because I'd be glad to IC again.

FMLSheWas12 the Investigator, for the 3rd time now which is ironic because I hate this role with a passion.

I don't have too much sufficient material to lean upon scum reads on any newcomers. Furthermore I don't want to out a newcomer as scum solely because of investigation results, I don't want to ruin the experience for anyone.

N1. LordofFail:
Spoiler: A lot of his D1 is abiding to his meta. This alone serves as a "null" read because this behavior is indicative to the player and not his alignment. To newcomers I do recommend you present yourself as transparent as possible for paramount payoff. To rely on a consistent act does aid your scum play which may sound appealing, however you're also susceptible to being lynched and lose potential to influence the game. Albeit there are specific scenarios where you may not desire to have an impact which is justifiable.

Moving forward I couldn't care less if he didn't properly review my introductory post as I'd been addressing newcomers. I did however become concerned that LoF's example as an IC would set a bad tone for everyone else so I confronted him. I somewhat expected an apathetic response typical to his views on D1 but my opinion changed on him when he essentially replied with an irrelevant statement and pushed an argument on me.

He states he did read my post and questions why my content is overblown with little meaning. He doesn't voice this concern earlier; his written explanation doesn't match his picture message whatsoever. Keep in mind this player shuns Day 1, then suddenly derives an assertion from a meme entirely arbitrary to his topic after being briefly questioned. His sudden progression from nonchalant to assertive demeanor in a heartbeat reeks of OMGSUS. Alzar didn't like his behavior either prior, perhaps LoF felt pressured and began subtly diverting attention away from his slot.

I'm reading LoF as minor scum. I don't really have enough for an elaborate, strong read. Nonetheless I think he still makes a sufficient investigation target for the time being. On another note, since Alzar isn't dead he must be untargetable scum.
My logic is absolutely flawless. /s

/vote Alzar

Spoiler: EDIT: There is a slight uneasiness that I dislike about Suddenly's second post. I'm assuming he knows that he's likely addressed by Lisq's suspicion towards silent players. However he uses the term "they." It's not particularly wrong, but I find people that are trying to conceal themselves do not use first person pronouns such as "I, we, us" to disassociate themselves from the topic.

I might just be fussing a little bit but this is notable and relatively applies to any situation even outside of FM. I've found it remarkably reliable and useful in the past. I don't see Lisq and Suddenly being of the same alignment, thus I conclude Lisq to be slight town. I have a slight tentative town read on Julia for her openness of unfamiliarity in the thread. This statement is meant to be vague and to your own interpretation.

I just revealed one of my secret tells. This is how much I care for NFM. <3

FMLSheWas12's role was Investigator!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I slept peacefully

[Arckas]

Well this is going to lead to some difficulties down the road.

I slept peacefully.

[3cheersforidiots]

Slept peacefully.

[Lexiam]

I was witched last night

[Alzar]

I slept peacefully.

In class right now. Will talk later.

[Arckas]

So FML was going to investigate LordofFail. That is good to know I guess, a prospective medium can talk to FML about the query.

I'm not sure how I feel about FML believing LordofFail was slightly mafia because he was, in FML opinion, a bad IC. (I believe he refers to this post) Though considering at that point LoF was doing just meme spam day 1 I'd expect a defensive response nonetheless.

[Arckas]

Moderator Message: Accidental lock. Must have somehow scrolled on my track pad from quick mod tools to lock and submitted last post without knowing.

My mistake, I apologize. Carry on.

[Lexiam]

RIP on the accidental lock.....after everyone checked in, ill make a list of the actions taken last night for reference

Well, LoF did mention that he tends to be less serious D1, and does more meme'ing than anything even remotely serious, and no one outright accused him of anything then, so I suppose he may have felt that it wasn't necessary to make a legit defensive post (although once again, he did mention that he was just doing it for the memes). I think it'd be wise to wait for LoF to reflect on this before arguing about it.

And dat accidental lock tho. I was honestly terrified for a minute xD

[Arckas]

(Keeping it interesting, one slip up at a time. Embarrassed about the lock more then anything. Sorry for any confusion.)


It wasn't an outright deflection of words from LoF. It's just the one serious post from a serious observation, which seems fine to me.
I don't know just making discussion.

[notCalmYT]

Oh, I'm in this game.

Hi.

[3cheersforidiots]

I don't know just making discussion.

That seems fine for me as well, if you put it that way, but then again, it's kind of hard to derive useful info from
D1's banter in general.

On a completely unrelated note, I have a theory, based on N1's happenings. Since it seems that we don't have a Janitor (because no clean, y'know), I think a possible mafia setup is whoever rolled in the third spot making a kill with the first spot shadowing a Consig, if that is possible (as far as I know, it is). I think it's because a Consig would be more valuable than a BM or a Disg at this point in the game (because info-gathering, and because they wouldn't fool a Sheriff results anyway - and they had no knowing if TI was a a Sheriff or nah). Correct me if I'm wrong or you think otherwise.

But if that wasn't the case until now, now that the TI is dead, even if they didn't until know, it would make sense for them to follow this logic from now on. Thoughts on this?

It's not particularly wrong, but I find people that are trying to conceal themselves do not use first person pronouns such as "I, we, us" to disassociate themselves from the topic.

While that was a poor choice of words on my end, I did indeed know that I was very likely being addressed by Lisq. However, that is all it was, a poor choice of words. I don't exactly know why I chose to say "they could just think that posting isn't worth it if there's nothing relevant to actually discuss." instead of "I don't think there's anything relevant to discuss.", but I did, and all that was was a mistake in my wording rather than me claiming that I'm not part of that "silent group".

[JuliaC]

Well then, I may have slept peacefully, of course.
