Ah, good point. Do we know if Marmot used this same way of resolving ties in his Mountains game?
I think he did. I think that was a thing.

In the event of a tie on Day 1, no one is lynched.

In the event of a tie on any other day, one of the tied players will randomly be chosen and cast into the abyss (lynched).
Here's the link.

So it looks like to me this has a high probability of having happened in this game.

[mention]Marmot[/mention], any chance you will tell us how you resolve ties in this game?

Have you seen the movies?

GO WATCH THEM

I guess I should.

Epi your deduction about the lynch is very interesting. There is no reason for Sauron to save me so I see your point as another mark against LC unless someone can come up with a plausible alternate theory of what happened.

If Sauron has the One Ring, it’s game over so it hardly matters now does it?
Glorfindel, it does matter now I think. First you say "If" so we don't know if Sauron has the ring. Second, as others have pointed out, if he does it doesn't end the game cause we're still playing. If you see something definitive about Epi please tell us.

I am not convinced by LC's case either but I'm not sure if it's because I just can't read Epi at all or it's a poor case. I do think epic makes a good point that he is different in each game he plays - I find that to be true about him. And for whatever it's worth I have civ vibes about Epi.
I have never been more confused by a sequence of posts in my life. Do you think INH fakeclaimed?

No, I had just woken up and my head was all twisted around. I forgot someone had claimed, then I forgot it was INH and thought it was you, and I didn't even remember that Sauron was bad. I should never mafia early in the morning. At this point I don't have any reason to believe INH fake claimed, it doesn't make sense to me that he would have done that if he were bad. My posts just don't make any sense whatsoever

Glor claimed town so we know he's town.

Sloonei came out Slooneiing. I and a few others expressed belief he was good. Mac said he was bad. Speed then replaced Sloonei and while not doing amazing, hasn't pinged me at all. Epi has also expressed belief he is good.

Mac and Wilgy more or less got himself lynched and Mac almost did the same but was nightkilled for some reason.

I'd appreciate it if you would ISO Juliets/Timmer, LC, Rabbit and weigh in on them.

Jack, I notice you have me listed as "juliets/Timmer". It should be "juliets/DF". Not sure if that was just a mistake or whether you are thinking I replaced timmer but I didn't want there to be any confusion.

Long Con, forgive me if this has already been covered but prior to your post below you had made a case on and I believe voted for Epi. Why did you change your vote to Ambray?

Long Con wrote: ↑Mon Feb 05, 2018 9:43 pm I'll go along with Ambray over MacDougall because I'm neutral on Am, and Civ-reading Mac.

Just a note about my schedule. Each weekday I have work and then physical therapy so I will be out of the thread until 3 or 3:30. I'll be reading more people today starting with Long Con.

Probably wrong.

Ok. I think you may just be reacting to my style. I once got lynched in a rabbit game for being too nice. And I offer this, from the game I just got killed in:

Jack I just want to clarify who do I come across as buddying? LC?

Jackofhearts2005 wrote: ↑Sun Feb 11, 2018 9:52 pm
Also I think you are bad.

And why is that? I'm not bad though.

Elohcin wrote: ↑Sun Feb 11, 2018 8:39 pm okay, I am going to be lazy. I see we have 10 players....wait...9 since wilgy was just lynched (RIP). Can anyone tell me how many mafia we have left and how many are civs? Anyone care to give me a rundown of what is going on? Or are you all just a bunch of inactive nerds?

If you look at the first page you can see how many of each faction are in the game (3 mafia) and that all the lynches to date have been civs. So unless the mafia killed one of their own at night - highly unlikely - there are three mafia still in the game. That leaves 6 civs if I did the math right.

That's interesting Jack but I have certainly seen the set-up in games that I have played, maybe on other sites but several of these players - Long Con, rabbit, Epi, INH - played on those sites with me. So I still think it's possible. Also why didn't you vote?

linki

Sorry Wilgy, someday I will learn how to read you.

So people who didn't vote, where were you?

I feel like I should move my vote. The Lynch shouldn't be decided by someone who's only been in the game a few hours.

Have people been voting at the last minute in this game?

Since I haven't found any better place to put my vote and my reading is all starting to run together I'm going to go ahead and vote Wilgy. If people come to the thread and start giving cases that I can investigate and like I can always change my vote.

geez the lynch poll ends in a couple of hours and the only person that I have a twinge about is Wilgy and I know that's a toss up. Is there anyone else I should be looking at? That's directed at anyone who wants to answer.

Long Con, I didn't see an answer to this question and it has become important for my ability to analyze what the suspicion of speed/sloonei is all about. Could you be more specific about why you changed your vote to him?
Well, here's my whole post, which speechuck cut in half:

Long Con wrote: ↑Thu Feb 08, 2018 9:33 pm Wait, no, that speedchuck vote looks tasty! Change my vote to speedchuck.

Just... Mac is on speedchuck, and if he wants Kyle lynched then he can do it himself at this point.
I originally broke the tie between Mac and Kyle, but then I saw Mac was solo-voting speedchuck. Figuring that MAc would come back and vote Kyle to save himself, I didn't think my vote was the most effective there. So I voted speedchuck alongside Mac and then Glorfindel triple-tied it. Short answer: flailing.

Ok thanks for the explanation, it helps.

I read through timmer and found that he has been giving opinions on people, DF, Kyle, Long Con, Wilgy - those are the ones that spring to mind. The last time I played with a bad timmer he was very quiet, absent really, and it was hard to get reads out of him so his behavior this game doesn't match my memory of the game where he was bad. And now I see he is hurt and going to replace out - so sorry timmer I hope you feel better!

Less than four hours to go before EoD and only one vote cast?

And yeah, I’m voting Chuckles again - I don’t trust the guy as far as I could throw him.

Glorfindel, when I read your posts you didn't seem to be suspicious of sloonei until he refused to leave a legacy post and it seems you voted him for that reason. Is there more that you see in retrospect? Or has speed chuck done something that adds to the reason you suspected sloonei?

I will need to read Sloonei and speed and hope that helps me determine if thats true or not. I see by reading up thats what Epi thinks has happened.

On Wilgy, in the game I just played I was jumped on because I questioned Wilgy's being bad after he made a bizarro non game related post. People said I should know Wilgy always makes these kind of pointless posts and it's not alignment indicative. Epi, I don't disagree with your points but what do you think about the thought that "he's always this way (making pointless posts)".
If he's always that way, then he can be bad and be that way. That in itself doesn't move the needle one way or another for me.

Wilgy said this right before nutella died. It sounds ominous to me, given that nutella was killed. And then we get Wilgy's best Brando impersonation:

MacDougall was in a three-way tie with Kylemii and speedchuck.

Kylemii
3
23%
Voters: insertnamehere, speedchuck, timmer

Macdougall
3
23%
Voters: Epignosis, rabbit8, Jackofhearts2005

speedchuck
3
23%
Voters: MacDougall, Glorfindel, Long Con
If all three people in the tie are civilians, then mafia didn't have to lift a ringed finger- they would be pleased however this worked out.

DrWilgy didn't vote.

Kylemii was lynched.

Tell me: If you were bad, given the poll above, would you kill MacDougall?

Would you ask the person you are about to murder if she doesn't like you, and tell her that you thought you could be best friend forever?

I believe Wilgy would. It fits into his zany, mad scientist approach.

Thanks for the explanation Epi. That would indeed fit Wilgy's zany approach.

I missed this post by Mac until I saw it in rabbit's iso. Looks like some additional people that might have had reason to kill him, though I am not one of them (DFaraday). I've already looked at Wilgy but will also look at timmer.

Dr. Wilgy, and everyone else, who do you suspect? I've decided I'm going to read iso's to try and catch up. Other than Wilgy, does anyone have any recommendations? Anything else you think I shouldn't overlook in my catchup (besides who has died and who they were of course)?

oh my gosh, DF only had 8 posts. Is that why you have him so low on your list Jack? Or anyone else that suspects him?

Dr. Wilgy it would be helpful if you said something more specific than just "wrong". What is your side of the story regarding the things Epi mentioned?

Hello everyone, I have not read any of this game and I'm not sure how much I'm going to go back versus jumping right in. Can I ask what suspicions exist of me as I start out? Looks like Jack has some from his post above.
