Glorfindel wrote:It was definitely a fun game - thank you MP for hosting it. Looking at the wrap up it looked like a crap load of work!

Congratulations to MM, FZ and K4J - you clearly had the Town in confusion all game and were worthy winners!

Thank you to everyone who played and contributed to what was a really good game.

There are two comments however that I'd like to make in respect of the game:

Firstly, after Night 2 I got a message from Capt Ollimar who signed it off with; "To anyone reading this journal... I wish them well and I think they are beautiful!!!" I reasoned at the time (somewhat naively) that Spacedaisy was Capt. Ollimar. SD, after that, you started doing and saying things that I felt conflicted with that assumption and that is when I started to waver a little in my opinion of you as a member of the Town. Clearly, the message here for me is that you alone do not have a monopoly on being complimentary and generally a simply lovely human being. My sincerest apologies to Dr Wilgy for selling you short.

Secondly, I really struggled to comprehend why any of you thought I was Mafia... The way I behaved in this game is classic 'Town Me' so if you doubt my sincerity, I think it will cause a problem at some point. Especially, I didn't get Typhoony. You KNEW there was someone out there who knew your identity. Early on when a number of people started voicing their suspicion of you, I'd not have thought it a big stretch for you to reason that someone who might defend you (or at least deflect the suspicions of others - as I did) just might have been Alph. In any case, it's a good thing you were eliminated by the Mafia when you were - if I'd had to read one more post where you were defaming me for likely having been 'bad', you'd have been hearing from my lawyers! :haha:
But YOU were Alph. Why didn't you defend Typh even a little to help us out? (Addemdum: Where?)

And fucking hell, DrWilgy, that's what you sent in your journal? Jesus. :disappoint:

I used the first one. I admit it wasn't a very well thought of move. But I didn't think people would try to use it to lynch you so fast, so I tried to fix the mistake by hinting at you having a post restriction a few times.

I need to check to see who did it the second time. I got a second fruit myself, but by that point I had already noticed the item was shit.

It was kind of hard to resist, though. Damn MP for distributing that stuff like candy.
It was Glorfindel the second time. :P
I just want to point out here Epi that prior to the end of that night kill (when I got killed) I had no intention to use the gaggle juice at all. I was also fairly convinced that you were Town at that point but you hurt my feelings with your comments after night end and I regrettably succumbed to my less mature impulses - I'm sorry :(
I like that you are a nice fellow, I really do. I'm also a nice fellow. Anyone who knows me in real life can attest to that. I'm quiet, and I let people have their way.

But my advice to you is that Mafia isn't a game of feelings. When done right, it's a game of calculation and logic. I will become absolutely nasty in Mafia. It's a place where I can lie and scheme and plot and not feel bad doing those things morally.

I was sold you were bad when Brit killed you.

Why didn't you speak up for Typhoony? Lord, man, you would have shown us you were Alph and I never would've pulled my Mafia views from your posts.

Re: [NIGHT 7] Pikmin Mafia

Simon isn't the Phreakbat.

He hasn't logged in since a week ago.

There isn't a team kill. There's a kill that someone has to use.

I think I have narrowed down the kid's role. It ain't a bad one.

Am I the only one keeping a spreadsheet? Do you think at this stage of the game I sold out MM to protect Simon?

Did it occur to you that MM called Simon the Burrow Snagret?

Y'all need Jesus.

Epi I think you are wrong, read the boss roles, at one point he says in the snagrat description that if this role chooses to carry out the boss kill...

Boomslang: Pikmin
Wilgy: Civ
Agleaminranks: Pikmin

That leaves at a maximum: 5 civs, 2 baddies. Where K4J is the big question mark. If he was civ, we have 2 baddies left. If he was bad, we have 1 left.

That's a soft Charlie claim. His proposition that Simon is the Snagret is out of left field and isn't backed up by anything.

Re: [DAY 7] Pikmin Mafia

agleaminranks
3
Epignosis (13), Typhoony (14), FZ. (15) 20%

Epignosis
2
agleaminranks (10), Metalmarsh89 (12) 13%

In the last lynch, I believe the Phosbat expected me to go down, so it must have been surprising that I survived.

MetalMarsh voted me for "self-preservation" when he had one vote from Typhoony (which Typhoony had placed only to get MM to talk). Such caution, I think, only makes sense if you are Pikmin.

But MM acknowledges this only possible reason Glorfindel had him in the "Strong Town" section of his list:
Epignosis wrote:
Metalmarsh89 wrote:
Epignosis wrote:
Metalmarsh89 wrote:I can only think of one reason that Glorf would have me as a strong town read, but that would make him not a Boss.
What's the reason?
That he knew my role.

I guess it's not a bad assumption that the Snagrat has been killed, but I don't think it's guaranteed.
I see one way listed on the front page for a civilian to know another civilian's role.

From my notes, you can't have that role.

Strike 1.
Based on what is listed on the front, MM seems to suggest that he's Charlie and that Glorfindel was Alph, which I don't believe is possible- I don't believe for a moment MM is a protagonist. In addition, it suggests that MM should not have had a bout of paranoia over one (temporary) vote from Typhoony.

In conclusion, I don't buy that MM voted me for self-preservation. I believe it was a convenient excuse to stack a +3 vote on me and remove me from the game, and then do a 1-2 punch on agleaminranks next. I believe he fully expected me to be lynched.

Finally, none of MM's claims today make any sense: Glorf (the closest thing to confirmed Mafia we have) had him as a strong civilian without having mentioned him in any capacity, so it must have been because Glorf knew his role? Simon is the Burrowing Snagret without any evidence suggesting such a thing? Please.

He will not be able to win with his faction.
Additionally, even if Simon were the Snagret, lynching him would be pointless at this stage. The Phosbat, with its increasing vote, needs to go today.

Spacedaisy wrote:Epi, what are your current thoughts on Simon? I'm concerned by the fact that once the storm blew over from the first couple days we have heard nothing from him at all. It worries me that he might be trying to avoid making anymore mistakes and letting his teammates take the lead. Where do you stand on Simon now?
Any more mistakes? The kid said he was on a team with sig and nobody really lifted a finger. He could burn a church down and most of the people here would go, "Aw, isn't he cute?"

No, I don't think he's bad.

First, I would expect him to be more involved if he had BTSC and a team depending on him. Second, my initial suspicion was predicated on him being sig's teammate, which isn't the case. Third, when Simon took votes and sig got lynched, I didn't detect a move to throw him under the bus or one to save him (sig got lynched by landslide). Fourth, Simon said, "I voted for boomslang. I might win because I haven't gotten lynched yet." Simon has never played a game where civilians win dead or alive, and thus this would be a strange thing for him to say if he were bad and knew he would win dead or alive if his team did. Fifth, Simon had his vote on me at one point, and then changed it to Scotty: If he were bad, what reason would he have to switch like that for, as he put it, "No reason. :keys: " and then not turn around and try to lynch me?

All of this points to Simon being good.

What's the reason?
That he knew my role.

I guess it's not a bad assumption that the Snagrat has been killed, but I don't think it's guaranteed.
I see one way listed on the front page for a civilian to know another civilian's role.

From my notes, you can't have that role.

I hope lynching gleam ends this thing.
Considering the revealed roles, why did you think that there is only one mafia left?
Why did?

I still do.

Snagret isn't killing- only Phosbat is. The Wraith could still be alive, but k4j got killed by a bomb rock, which "can also be used to defeat enemies, and are particularly useful for doing so with bosses."

As far as the cutest Pimkin is concerned I think it comes down to either blue or yellow (that white one is frankly just frightening LOL!). I've always considered the ability to truly listen to be ultimately more important than the ability to speak so I'm going to cast my vote for Yellow Pimkin :)
:daisy:

So glad to get to play with you!

Also, I forgot to mention my opinion of the white pikmin. Because frankly it is creepy. Those red eyes.... Ew.
The feeling is mutual, my friend :hug:
Friendly banter.

For the fun of it.

Glorfindel
Matt
sig
Four posts in almost 48 hours and the justification for his vote on me is "For the fun of it"? This was followed by Matt inviting Boomslang to join in on a vote on me and after being challenged by Spacedaisy, Matt changes his vote TO Boomslang. I don't like what I'm seeing here and I'm wondering if this exchange was an indication of something more sinister? I may change my vote later but for now, I'm prepared to vote for Enrique. I think that if he should turn out to be Mafia, it may give us something more to work with.
spacedaisy defended Glorfindel.

In clarifying her defense, spacedaisy says:

Spacedaisy wrote:Can you please explain the reasoning there?
Yes. 2+2=4 therefore since sig is civ, and if Simon is bad, then Glorfindel needs to go.

But I'm also cool with skipping straight to lynching Glorfindel if everyone else is up for it.

Also, Enrique, what do you think of Boomslang's "I'm not down for lynching Simon...yet" Ha!
I didn't ask you to repeat yourself I asked you to explain it. I am willing to listen to any case, and if there is some logic there I might be swayed, but simply saying if this person is bad and this person is civ then this other person must be bad. I need to understand what you used to draw these conclusions. Because Glorfindel did not vote Simon?
Been there done that. I make up huge cases, they subsequently get ignored.

Spacedaisy, is there a reason you do not want to lynch Glorfindel? I'm beginning to think your readiness to lynch an 8 year old yet your continuing momma bearing of Glorfindel is suspish.
I don't not want to lynch Glorfindel. I didn't want to lynch him Day 1 for no reason considering how his last game went for him. What I do want is to understand why you have drawn the conclusion he must be bad. I'm all for voting someone who might be bad, including Glorfindel. Asking for an explanation does not equal defending him. I want to hear your case, but you aren't really giving me one and I don't understand your reluctance to explain to me what it is I must be missing that you say is as simple as 2+2=4.
Shortly after, Glorfindel answers spacedaisy for Matt:
Glorfindel wrote:
Spacedaisy wrote:Can you please explain the reasoning there?
He can't Spacedaisy because there isn't any... I am not Mafia.

@Matt, perhaps you could remind us all again (for the fourth time) about how you are a sweet innocent little Pikmin - because frankly, I'm having an increasingly hard time believing that...
Glorfindel wrote:Spacedaisy: I'm not going to lie - irrespective of who she votes for, I consider her one of the most transparently 'Towny' players in this game right now. Admittedly, my judgement could be coloured by the fact that she seems to me to be a genuinely lovely person but if I'm wrong for holding such a view, so be it. Vote for me Spacesdaisy, don't vote for me - my opinion of you won't change - although I believe that you are smart enough to know the truth and not have your opinion distorted by deliberate untruths and half-truths.
This is such a schmaltzy post riddled with buddying, one that goes so far as to put's Glorfindel's appraisal of spacedaisy's intelligence on the line.
Glorfindel wrote:
Matt wrote:Anyone iso Daisy? To whom it may concern, of course Daisy protecting Glorfindel doesn't mean they're teamies. However it's possible Daisy is mafioso and happens to know Glorfindel is good, hence the "let's protect the civvie" card. Therefore suspish. Especially since she was willing to lynch Simon of all people. I dunno, doesn't add up.
There is a chance you could very well be right there Matt but I'm sufficiently confident in my instincts and ability to read people to stand by what I have said already on the public record about Spacedaisy.

And you're right, this is a truly intriguing game...
Glorf stands by his instincts and ability to read people.

The funny thing here is that if spacedaisy is good, Matt had the alignments backwards.

++++

On Day 4, Glorfindel blesses us with a list.
Glorfindel wrote:OK, trying to look at this logically, there are 13 players left in the game. 3 of these are 'Bosses', 4 are Protagonists leaving the remaining six of us as Pikmin (and in the scheme of things, that's not a lot of Pikmin...). Using my personal opinion (based on my observations and gut reads) as a means for a process of elimination, this is where I think we are:

Strong Town reads:
Dragon D. Luffy
Glorfindel (Me :) )
Metalmars89

Town reads:
Epignosis
Kneel4justice
Matt
Typhoony

Town lean reads:
Simon
Spacedaisy

Which leaves only 4 players from which I think we will find our Bosses:
Agleaminranks
Boomslang
Dr Wilgy and
FZ

For the time being, I'm voting for FZ but I think there is a very high likelihood that Dr Wilgy and Boomslang are Mafia.

Thoughts, anyone?
Why is MetalMarsh89 in that top category? At no point ever (except Day 1 here) did Glorfindel interact or comment on MetalMarsh. :ponder:

Spacedaisy wrote:Also, if you are civ, why do you put DDL as your top civ read. You are more sure of him than you Ate of yourself? :haha:
Because I created those lists in alphabetical order as the appear in the poll at the top of the page perhaps and the last time I looked, 'D' comes before 'G'...?
spacedaisy has a chuckle about Glorf's alphabetized list.
Glorfindel wrote:
Spacedaisy wrote:Glorfindel, not that long ago you were saying I add your most town read, what has changed to stop me down to nearly off the list entirely? I'm not the bottom of your town lean reads. I'm curious about this as well as the fact that Matt went from suspecting you to telling people to follow your vote... That is not normal. It makes me think he was either distancing from you before or budding up to you now.
My most recent reads revolve around Matt as their focal point. I've seen him move from bafoonery (which seems to be his modus operandi early in games of Mafia while he is trying to find his feet) to attempts at genuine engagement and analysis. This is still very much a 'gut read' but if I'm right, there is something awfully fishy about his wagon. Indeed you were my strongest Town read earlier but now your focusing on Matt... I don't know. If the lynch on Matt goes ahead, the result will for me, solidify a lot of my reads and if were indeed Mafia, you'd be right back at the top of the list... In the appropriate alphabetical order of course :p
Glorfindel explains his waning confidence in spacedaisy's goodness as being the result of spacedaisy's focus on Matt.
Glorfindel wrote:
Spacedaisy wrote:Ok, that's a reasonable answer. Your vote is interesting. You Ate saying there seems to be a wagon don't on but instead of voting somewhere that makes a difference you are throwing your vote off.
I'm throwing my vote precisely where I think it should be. Given a lot of other players have expressed their concerns over Dr Wigly this isn't too far a stretch. That Matt wagon is looking worse by the minute...
spacedaisy approves of his response as reasonable but questions his vote.

It was at this point that the lynch ended and I called Glorfindel bad and then Brit killed Glorfindel.

Re: [DAY 7] Pikmin Mafia

According to my spreadsheet, Metalmarsh cannot be a protagonist, but could be a red Pikmin.

spacedaisy could be a purple Pikmin or Olimar, but not Alph.

I think I have Simon narrowed down and he isn't bad (though he's grounded for not playing, the little twit. I can't blame him. He did get a bunch of presents and a Wii U with Smash Bros., so I'm sure the host gets it).

Re: [DAY 7] Pikmin Mafia

If the Phosbat is alone, then it has a vote worth 3.

I want spacedaisy and MetalMarsh talking. If one of them is a civilian, this is a SHAMFUR DISPRAY.
