The fight for Inishmore [Concluded]

[Askthepizzaguy]

What does "vicissitudes" mean?

I looked it up, and I have to say, I'm still fuzzy on the concept.

However, I would say that words that have to be looked up in the dictionary while reading, can just as easily have been looked up while writing.

If they were totally random, perhaps... but then you'd notice a completely off-the-wall word stuck in there deliberately without flowing naturally from the context. For example:

"I was out all day, and after work, I returned home to my house and ordered a pizza. No one else was there. And so, I felt forlornness."

If someone who does not naturally use the words in question tries to accomplish the fake of appearing more intelligent or well-read than they are, there would be obvious, or perhaps less obvious but still apparent, signs. Do you really get from that writeup that the person was faking their knowledge? I don't. And I never, ever, speak with such eloquence, even when I am trying to do so. Call it WIFOM if you wish, it's just a fact. I could never reproduce the writeup in question, even if I had a thousand monkeys working at a thousand computers until the end of time.

Pizza, I don't think pursuing writeup leads is a good idea at this stage of the game. Last round stagnated in part because of it imo, and it's much more effective in the late game. Plus, now that you've told the mafia who you think is capable of writing it, if you're wrong they're sure to leave that person alive.

Sorry, I disagree. You have your methods, and they work. I have mine, they work sometimes. Best to have at least two different approaches. Better chance of success that way.

edit: well, I understand if you think Reenk is the only person who could have written it. I don't think you can prove that though.

Now that's interesting, Sasaki. You know full well there is no such thing as proof in a mafia game. Even detective reveals can be false. Even detectives can be insane, and get false results. No one is sure of anything, and in my games, people have roles they aren't even aware of.

Sasaki, you know better than to ask for proof. All I can offer is evidence.
