Sid Meier's Civilization 5 UPick Mafia (GAME OVER)

[Kiana Kaslana]

theres only like 4 claims that arent on the table

Yes. That does not change the negative utility of claiming.

Either a) I'm a weak role softing a useful role to protect more powerful roles to try and take a bullet or b) I am a high powerful role that can protect brass. Either way, it's not good of me to claim.

Like I said, I will if brass wants it but I think it's a good idea not to.

Thanks for claiming a power role. You will almost definitely be shot now.

Well, honestly since Titus is obviously town it doesn't matter what she claims. I'll agree with you if you insist on not claiming, but, if anybody has useful information that can lock down a scum or even help town, just don't hesitate to claim. Scum can't kill all of us before we lynch them all dead.

[Joey_]

Also the 2 kills seems to confirm the 3man teams theory, even if we never really considered anything else

[Kiana Kaslana]

Its time for mass claim, I only backed off pretty hard because nero softed a great pr

I hardclaim that i am a commuter , its also the reason why Kokichi disliked gamma commuter shot because i was his neighbor

popcorn to titus

Why didn't we just powerlynch Gamma yesterday then? If you counterclaimed commuter it's bye bye to Gamma who was probably lying.

And, scum can't shoot you because you're a commuter.

ActionDan wasn't such a bad lynch but he was town.

Sad.

Yeah no one wanted to CC the obvscum so scum swung the wagon. P sad.

Yesterday we had 17 players. 3 Scum in 17 players; 9 to lynch. Scum would make only a maximum of 3 / 9 of the votes; that's as small as an entire newbie game. No; by definition all wagons in this game are town-led (unless we make more mistakes, but let's not think about that!). ActionDan was a good lynch; he was a pretty bad slot to begin with; it's just a pity he flipped town, but honestly nobody will miss him. Real talk.

[Joey_]

BTW i will vote for myself today for runner-up. Also, the fact that the Ivory resolution had no gameplay effect made me wonder if it was supposed to affect already flipped roles or not

the wagon was pretty bad regardless of the town ppl on it

[Chara]

if Gamma flips scum i'd consider it a final confirmation and not a series of coincidental kills. but, yes.

i think we win this with PoE.

pedit: i mean, that. i don't regret lynching him. probably should have curated more within my pool but the amount of living town i'm confident in make me feel good about our chances, on a pure scumhunting basis.

i didn't consider that. i thought it might be in the game simply to do nothing.

VOTE: gamma emerald

caesar can go too simply cuz ran flakes as scum

the fucking religion spreads were blocked by world congress. what the fuck

[Joey_]

Another thing, the fact that we Embargo'd gold could mean that we prevented a night kill somehow, it was hinted to be linked to religious gold and gaining gold via a kill. If thats true then, having only 2 night kills instead of 3 might be that we RoleBlocked a 3p kill (maybe?) over than just gamma being confirmed to be guilted via the weak visit by elbirn

[brassherald]

Okay, so ban Gold blocks religion spreads, good to know.

[Chara]

they were? how does that work? brass was leader on day 1 too and Almost successfully converted him.

[Chara]

Okay, so ban Gold blocks religion spreads, good to know.

oh. pfft. ignore me.

[Chara]

are we doing Joey as host or runner-up? mechanically i don't know which is better or how much it really matters.

[Joey_]

Civilizations around the world will monitor its effects going forward, but already it appears that the very wealthy and very religious are being hit hard by the move away from the gold standard.

oh, very wealthy and very religious, this isnt hinting to a kill tho, so maybe gamma is truly guilted after all

Well as long as brass is alive i will listen to him and it doesnt actually matter since im town

[Caesar Wills It]

Salutations, Citizens!

You are now in the imperial presence of Caesar Augustus. In this assembly of the Roman Senate, We shall forego the usual requirement for displays of obeisance, as We consider Ourself merely First Among the Citizens in this hallowed chamber. Whilst We have watched from on high and with approval of the first day of this council, We are disappointed and wroth with the Senate's mistakes of late. As such, with the passing of Senator Ranmaru, We have appointed Ourself as Senator in his place, that Justice may be dispensed upon the traitors and malefactors plaguing the Empire.

Caesar's time is entirely too valuable to be wasted in reading over 130 scrolls of Senate proceedings. We shall be availing Ourself of summaries and the final few scrolls of the second session's deliberations, and then shall proceed. We would appreciate informative summaries of the progress thus far.

Finally, We bid warm greetings to all of Our old compatriots in the Senate, particularly the noble Senators Titus and Gamma Emerald, whom We have missed dearly in our seclusion from public life.

Augustus Caesar
Imperator of Rome

Spoiler: Translation

I will not be doing one of these TLDR translations for every post, so suck it up. You don't like the gimmick? Bite me, it amuses the hell out of me, and I find it forces me to think laterally and consider every word.

Hi. This is an alt account of Pine. Look up my credentials if you like. I will rarely be breaking the Caesar character, especially given it is a Civ Mafia.

A few words on my playstyle: I am geriatric. I will likely post only a few times a day, and will skim over shitposts. Deal with it. If you can't be bothered to control yourself, I can't be bothered to give you the credibility needed to read every word. Going along with this is my long-standing replacement meta, which in my absence has apparently begun to be called the "Pine method" or something. I'll read the last 5-10 pages before I replaced, the circumstances around important events (World Congress votes are a likely example) and then rely on ISOs and such. I feel that, by this point, scum tend to be confident in whatever lies they've pulled off, and can be caught by a new perspective. Feel free to give me a summary and reads, but I make my own reads based on the evidence in front of me.

Cool. Good to be back.

You got a pm stating that or you are deducing ?

[Maestro]

Please refrain from posting in all-colored text. I, personally, think it can confuse players, and if Joey_'s posts are any kind of counterpoint, I would point out his are all specifically labeled "My Reads" and could not conceivably be confused for moderator communication. Thank you.

WCU incoming...

Presuming We understand the meaning of this Senator to simply follow the will of another, We immediately read this as suspicious. True and loyal Citizens have naught to rely upon by their own wits, and it is the province of the treasonous to abdicate this sacred charge in favor of another's will, which they may not be blamed for should it turn out faulty.

Senator Joey, whence began thy treason? Who else have thou engaged?

Spoiler: OOC

You're killing me, mod.

i dont really care to answer to you if you are unintelligible bud

Dear Caesar,

Fuck off with this gimmick, or I will start with a gimmick of my own and read all your posts as mouth farts until we lynch you.

Sincerely,
Pedro II, Brazilian Carnival Thrower.

If peacekeeping comes back today then you should be made host not me

[Caesar Wills It]

Senator Brassherald, your impatience and self-importance is wholly unwarranted. Great Caesar bids you act to your wincon, and not dismiss any source of wisdom or insight just because you dislike its mannerism.
