I suspect Eloh for her cheap cop out suspicion of TH. TH, it seems clear to me, is not a threat to the civs at this or any point. But by continuing to vote for him, Eloh avoids having to come up with any real suspects.

I suspect Eloh based on how the MP lynch went. She broke from her TH vote in order to vote for Llama and bring MP closer to being saved.

And she was very subtly vouched for/defended by Hedge's "I think that the non-voters list contains mostly inactive civs rather than baddies" remarks. Hedge being another llama voter.

This is an example of a civilian with a horrible voting record. It does happen.

Congrats! How many years?

Interesting fact...everyone Pictures voted for is dead.
Day 1 - LC
Day 2 - Ika
Day 3 - llama
I reread Pictures and in hindsight, it's obvious he was bad But there isn't much to glean. He didn't really say much at all. I am voting TH again.

So you went form feeling okay to feeling bad about me b/c of a technology fail?

I will be reading Moving Pictures for clues as to who may be his teammate.

Sorry I have been MIA all day. I literally have not been on the internet until now. Dr./dentist appts with kids today, working on a wedding cake, realizing I need more butter to make more frosting for the wedding cake, going shopping for butter and end up spending an hour at the store, etc. But, I am here now. And I have to say, I cannot believe I never actually voted in yesterday's poll. I said I would, I thought I did, but I was informed by my husband (after day was over) that I missed the vote. I was shocked. Anyway.....DH says this:

First of all, I never said that we ought not lynch quiet players. I said that its not always wise to do so b/c oftentimes quiet players are civ that just don't care to play. It's annoying, but true. I know TH. TH is not a quiet player on the norm. I see a quiet TH as a baddie. SECOND, I never even vote :P HA.

I was reading Elo as civ for the first time ever . and then she didn't vote...

I think it was a technical error. I thought I voted.

So, for today. oddly enough, I read MovingPictures as civ this game which is weird b/c I usually think he is bad. I still think TH is probably bad and I am thinking llama is as well. I am voting llama today as not to spread the votes any further. And I am going to double check that my vote goes through.

I understand being busy with kiddos. I have a 3,5,and 7 yr old that I homeschool. We are done with our school year right now so I am able to contribute a little more time to mafia. The older two are watching school house rock (multiplication practice) atm. I am trying to get my 7 yr old to have his multiplication tables memorized before next year. He is struggling with it as he HATES to write them. Next we will play a multiplication battleship game I made for him. I'm trying to make this more fun for him. THEN, I am off to making twelve batches of frosting for the wedding cake I have this week. So...I understand busy It would be nice to hear more form you though if you can find the time.

I'm throwing a vote on ika. Maybe it'll get him to come in here and be productive.

Nope, it will just have drunk ika come in stating he drunk atm but feel free to talk to me about something that i dont care about

Seriously?! I don't know about Ika. She is less helpful than Rico was. I can't decide if she is bad or just doesn't care. If you don't care to play, why sign up? Were you drink when you did? This is so frustrating.

Lets start with llama. Llama used three out of four posts yesterday to exclaim I was not bad.

No. What did you expect me to say?

You would think it would be obvious, but you are the only one who has answered the question, and believe it or not, I have caught baddies with this question before. You will not get my vote today, Golden, old friend.

thellama73 wrote:Stop voting for Golden, you guys. He is not bad. I want to vote for Rico, because I think his determined unhelpfulness is a double bluff (no baddie would play like that!) but I am not above a Golden save if necessary. Long Con is probably bad, so not a terrible choice there.

thellama73 wrote:All right, Long Con's last post was awesome and it makes me not want to lynch him, so I am placing my vote for Rico now. I have a meeting at ten and another at eleven, so I look forward to the results when I get back. Golden is not bad though.

Llama is giving me a cuddle. It's warm and a nice thing for him to do in these cold winter months. It's also slightly disturbing and I'm not sure what to make of it.

I'm glad you brought up llama b/c I was going to bring this up this morning. I excepted more from llama in a game like this. He is not baddie hunting whatsoever imo.

I'm still eyeing DH, I have a gut feeling he is bad. I know gut feeling mean very little to many of you, but I can't shake it.

So, DH, Llama, and Ika are on my radar. But then I decided to look back at TH's posts b/c of Golden and I encourage all of you to click on this link:

I am voting TH today. I don't know how he thinks he can get away with posts like this in such a quiet game.

Well, cheese and crackers. I had this post started in one tab and posted what I was working on in another tab without putting them together. I guess this is post 2 :P

I think it's very frustrating that Rico was civ. I mean, why come into a game and act like that and be lynched. Help out your team, man! Others who have not been contributing/helpful (Ika is who comes to my mind right off the bat), if you are civ, please be helpful with your posts and act like you care so we don't have another mislynch.

This was stated right before he was lynched. Then right after the lynch, DH piggybacks by saying this.

Other Thoughts:
To clarify my Eloh vote, since I was rushed and had just woken up: I found her post to be suspicious because she said she thought TH’s case on me had merit, when TH hadn’t built anything close to resembling a case. He’d just voted for me.

I don't think he actually had a reason to vote me and he stole this later to justify his vote.

Anyway...looking back at TH's posts, I clearly made a mistake about who made the case on DH. I do remember reading one though .

Well, it's time for me to vote. I look forward to seeing the results after tumbling class I am voting Rico.

Lastly, I'm just going to say this because it's true. I fully intend to pack as much as I can into every single post I make in this game. That's the only way for me to feel as though my four posts have been worthwhile.

I think this is the point of the game. Make your posts meaningful. Keeping the thread free from the flood of posts people like to make even after they have voted just to make it difficult for those of us who haven't voted to keep up.

Turnip Head wrote:Nobody's here.

It was 2am when you posted this I was alseep. I was having a nightmare actually that our family was playing a game in the kitchen nd we heard the front door open. I said to Epi, "Someone just came in the door." He went into the living room and said, "How may I help you?" and was instantly shot. Then the intruder took the rest of our family hostage. SO, if either Epi nor I come on the syndicate for a period of around eight hours. Call the police. There are at least a few mods that have our address Yeah, but seriously. I was very scared in my dream.

That said, I can see your case on DH as having validity. and I am not sure I want to vote MM for his crazies b/c I know that is his norm. I think Rico or Ika would be good too. Rico I stated before for lack of meaty posts and I could vote Ika for the same reason.

In reaction to Hedge's take on Golden, I disagree. I think Golden seems civ. And I would hate to see him lynched so early again as a civ.

I don't see the case on LC. As of right now, i am thinking civ on him and I don't see the waffling that Missing Person pointed out about him.

@ llama - can you tell me why you think LC is bad? I know he has a way of tricking me so if I'd like to hear your thoughts.

Metalmarsh89 wrote:Posting again because I feel the need to.

Four is not a limit persay. If I get lynched in a landslide today, nothing is to stop me from flipping to Rainbow Sock Mode and vomitting all over this thread.

And of course, if there is a landslide lynch on one player, that will give every other player another 5-10 posts they can make during the day without being lynched. In fact, I will volunteer myself for the lynch if anyone wants to try to get a little more volume out of their Day 1. This will let me post as much as I want, and let everyone else get some extra mileage out of their Day 1 before Day 2 starts.

Prelude vote set to Metalmarsh89.



Post #4.

Wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah. You sound like Chrlie Brown's teacher in this post.

thellama73 wrote:Same question to every player: are you bad?

I am not bad.

I agree that Rico's posts are the least fruitful. I would be okay voting him or MM at this point. MM b/c his posts are off the wall. I'm having a hard time taking him seriously and that screams mafia to me.

I disagree that we cannot ask questions to one another or as one another to elaborate. We may just have to wait a little bit for the answers as the responding player will most likely not answer until he/she has other things to say and will just add their response to that post.

What does everyone else think of MM and Rico at this point?

Yay Game! I am excited for this game. I think it is a great way for busy mafia lovers, such as myself, to still play a meaningful game instead of signing up for a speed/full game and playing half-assed b/c they cant catch up before having to vote. It's also good for beginning mafia players. Furthermore, practically anyone can host such a game as this, so if it works out nicely, maybe we can have one of these going all the time. I just hope four posts is enough to give us a read on who is bad.

It will be fun to watch vote numbers climb for those of you that can't handle the silence.
