Your role was definitely experimental; I don't plan on using anything like that again. Was worth trying out though.
And at least you didn't explode randomly this time.

Yes, these are the kinds of roles I land in your games, aren't they

. I think its a good role though, the laughing one not the exploding one. It just needed to be made objective. For instance, anytime a player made someone else respond with a '

' would have worked.

This game was fun for the most part for what little time I played. My one suggestion is to make all roles objective rather than subjective.

My role being subjective was a bit frustrating.

I think there is a good chance that happened this game. Also, I would like to take away the doubt that has been placed on Rico b/c I think he is good.
Have you played with Mac before? I thought he was an RYMer.

no, but a fellow RYMer brought over the evidence.

RadicalFuzz wrote:MM the reason I thought you were town without asking you is unable to be spoken due to the rules of this game.

Eloh basically you're lynching me half because you think I'm actually scum, and half because there's a connection between Rico and I that led you to a conclusion that if I am scum he is most definitely town? What is that connection?

No, I am lynching you b/c of the mac connection, not a Rico connection. There is no real connection between you and Rico imo. But others think he had a slip. If you turn out scum then that is just a cherry on top for confirming that my read on Rico is correct.

I know ya'll are devastated.

I like to be in only one game at a time. Epi convinced me to sign up for LC's game as he said this one will probably be coming to a close by the time LC's game started. I always sign up for Epi's games. Now I am in THREE games!!! :o I don't have a clue how I am going to do this.

So you, as well as 3J, no longer think he slipped, despite claiming you both thought he did.

If RF flips mafia, this clears Rico.

If RF flips civvvie, this doesn't mean Rico is bad.

Recruit - Elohcin

Linki - Why Rico? I could be bad. I could be the baddiest bad in this thread. :P

I guess I should have used sarcastic orange in my first response. I am no recruit.

For the record, I understood JJJ's vote and I still agree with it. I don't think Rico slipped either. I think getting RF will clear his name

And even if RF is civ, that doesn't mean Rico is bad.

This is how I read it as well.

yes, upon further reading, I think I am correct

This is a fantastic question posed by scum MacD.

If Elohcin is obv town, and she will not be lynched, why don't the Mafia take her out?

Maybe they don't see me as a threat b/c I am a low poster. Or maybe they did try to kill me and failed like Epi said. Or, maybe Epi is bad and doesn't want to kill his supportive, submissive wife. Nah! That can't be it.

Nah, but for real, did you ever answer Epignosis? Have you been recruited?

I did answer. I said no. And then I asked why he would think I was recruited. He never answered. I also asked everyone what they thought about those who are being very quiet. And no one answered me about that either.

JaggedJimmyJay wrote:Elo, could you talk about why you want to lynch me now?

My initial suspicion of you came when you were posting close to a million times a day. I felt that it wasn't helpful to the town. After last night and today(mafia phase) I have found you took my thoughts into consideration and I am feeling a bit better about you. I am open to looking at other lynch options.

The reason people have been so perturbed by my treatment of Mac is that it was loud and constant -- which is what all of my content is in every game ever. Naturally when I get one wrong it turns the thread against me.

Normally I don't get them wrong. I'm not going to doubt my own read on Strawhenge just because of what happened with Mac. Your responses to me right now are rather timid -- I am threatening to help kill you without having built a case of my own, and you're only resistance to that is to lightly discredit my ability to read people and waffle on my intentions.
I don't anticipate that you'll vote for me though. Just because you townread Strawhenge doesn't mean you trust his judgment, and you have given no inclination that you do.
I don't see how a townie makes this post. Your true concern is whether I'll vote for you, not why.

And I will retort; what alignment would a player who makes this post be, and why?

I have to agree with MM here...again. (Sorry is that throws you off JJJ.) His statement does not read mafia to me. I think a civ would say what he said. I am interested in JJJ's answer too.

Strawhenge wrote:Guys, we need to lynch Metalmarsh. Come on.

And if anybody asks me 'why' again, I swear...

Why would you want to lynch MM? Are you sure you want to lynch MM? I don't think lynching MM is that great of an idea :P

I never thought I would say this about this game. But it is very quiet right now. Rico, Matt, Epi, JJJ, and Russ...what do you think of the players that have been very quiet this game?

Eloh, you can find, further down the thread, that this flippy-flopping from Epig was yet another ploy of his.

It really feels like you're trying to get an easy phase out of questioning every single move Epig makes. Not to mention, shake your past wholehearted agreeing with what Epig said.

Okay, I will stop. I had a different agenda which I cannot give information about. But if this seems suspicious to you in any way, I will stop.

Sorry about that, just trying to get to the point...

What do you think about an Epignosis lynch today?

I think we ought to wait it out. I am not sure enough of him to place a vote on Epi. I will be changing to Floyd however as I want my vote to count. Maybe his lynch will give us better read on JJJ too.

That said, I am up for a JJJ or Floyd lynch. I will go with the majority. For now I wil leave my vote with JJJ though.

Epignosis wrote:
Matt F wrote:Epignosis - Do you feel more strongly that Floyd is mafia then 3J? What about motel room? Did you ever get a chance to examine his posts?

Linki - I don't trust Strawhenge. I think he knew Mac was scum before the Night Post revealed it. Why else would he accuse you and Motel Room of being his "scum buddy" and that he's "not buying it", yet he refuses to vote for the guy (when at the time, it was pretty close between Mac and Diiny I believe)

I would like an explanation on why you think Straw is civvie.
No, I haven't looked into motel room. I'll do that after supper.

I look at it this way: If Floyd is civilian, he isn't helping things (and I couldn't fault him, first game, so on and so forth). If Floyd is bad, he's made some real rookie mistakes we've let slide (again, couldn't fault him). If 3J is civilian, he's being helpful. If 3J is bad, then he's a much stronger civilian than he is a bad guy.

My point is that Floyd is contributing a lot less than 3J. This is almost a sort of Pascal's Wager, I know, but there it is.

But is JJJ is bad, he actually isn't being helpful. In fact, I think that a quiet baddie is more helpful to civs than a baddie who posts a lot. If JJJ is bad he knows who else is bad and has the ability to try to manipulate us. That isn't helpful.

If you want to track down Psycho Killer, my advice would be to see who was inactive or barely active Night 5.
But there are so many people who aren't very active at all. What if the SK is lying low the whole time. And then there are those who don't care to talk a lot at night. What makes you think that is is MM specifically?
I don't think MM is Psycho Killer.

My point was that MM would not have missed his PM if he was.

Why did you vote him then? DO you think MM is bad? He seems civ to me.

Elo, as much as I love to hear someone say Epi is being wishy-washy, I no longer think there's any reason we should buy even a tiny bit of Mac's theory that Epi was the SK. I think it really is just a new style for him.

So you agree he is playing differently this game than he normally does? I'm not crazy when it comes to that, right? B/c I see a difference.

You are changing your mind a lot and rather quickly. It just doesn't seem like your usual play style. Have you ever been a SK before? How long did you last?

linki (which I clicked through): No, wishy-washy. This is unlike you. You have been playing differently all game. You didn't come out in the beginning with accusations and testing people. You were being "observant". I chalked that up to there being new people, but now that you are involved, you don;t really seem like you are trying to get Mafia. You seem like you are just trying to get anyone lynched as long as it isn't you.

Out of everyone, I trust MM and Matt most. I think JJJ needs to go today. I am placing my vote on JJJ right now.

Are you homeschooled? What grade are you in?

Okay, thoughts. I have to say that I am beginning to remove my trust of Epi. I hate to even say it, but he is acting weird. He doesn't normally act this wishy-washy. I think MM could be right that he is the SK. And I hate that b/c I fought Mac when he said it could be.

You have a fluidity about your posts. "I'm voting seaside, but going to 3J if it doesn't work out." Bobbing and weaving. Going with the current. Now you're voting Russ. You don't sound bad. You sound cereal. Like Frosted Flakes.

He may be bobbing and weaving, but I think you are as well. I don't get why you have all of a sudden backed away form JJJ. Can you explain?

I am civ. I think we need to lynch JJJ or Floyd today. Who is with me?

Funny, I thought it was when a driver and passengers in a car (which is stopped at a red light) quickly get out of the car, run around the car, and return to the car often switching seats.
