On that note, stop killing me! Who killed me by the way?
I don't even remember who I blocked, but I do remember blocking DH the night I died. Lot of help that didBy the way, Epi, do you keep track of night actions? I'd love to see what happened each night
I want it too.Metalmarsh89 wrote:Something something rezz please.
I just looked up the role again. If we assume both night kills were of civvies, it means he had -4 votes. He would be tied with someone who had 3 votes if he had 7 votes. Any votes beyond that, are those who actually got him lynched. So I'd say, if anyone is looking not to be on his team, it's Bass and TH, because they were the ones to seal the deal.zeek wrote:FZ - True, but that would make any sort of analysis of the voting yesterday null and void. I don't believe that is the case.
Thanks Epi, I'll stay up a bit longer then and see how tired I get
Is the night over?zeek wrote:Epi, what time should we expect a night post? Wondering whether to stay up or not.
I was contemplating that myself, but I was also thinking that an earlier to middle voter could have used the knowledge that DF had negative votes and voted for him planning to change it later if it comes down to it. But when DF started getting all the votes, taking off one vote wouldn't have helped him anyway, so they left the vote.zeek wrote:For anyone who hasn't voted yet, I would like to propose we go for an early DF voter. I believe TH to be civ, but he voted very late.
You're answering your own question. If it was about saving DF, I would have voted for someone who already had votes and tried to convince others to join me. For me, when I see so many votes on one person, it freaks me out and I second guess myself. That was all it was. I asked about Snow because I genuinely wanted to look at everyone and feel sure about who I voteRoxy wrote:FZ - I got to be honest I did not like your last minute push to get people to unvote DF. When asked who else you would consider voting for you said Snow Dog. Which is the part I did not like bc even if you and the others would have moved to Snow Dog there would have still been enough votes to lynch DF. So why Snowy in that instance when it would have made zero difference in the lynch outcome? Why not DH or LC or anyone else that had votes already vs someone who ha none.
Yeah, someone said you were like that. I don't remember playing with you much other than Cars, so that's my reference point. So I guess others know better.Snow Dog wrote:What does flying under the radar actually mean? I have been posting. I'm not hiding.FZ. wrote:I also think Snow Dog is flying under the radar. This is no where near how he played in Cars. What's people opinion on him?
Cars was a different thing altogether. I had btsc with a civ partner so i outright came out and defended him. That is not the case this game. When the game thins out and if I'm still here you will probably see me more vocal. At the moment I am clueless. My position in most Mafia games recently.
Well done DF voters btw.
Epig, I was wondering, would we know how many votes each person got, without knowing who voted?Elohcin wrote:Wait...we're voting by PMs this time. That makes it easy for baddies to blend. I guess we'll have no real info from tonight's votes.
I had a feeling. I think that it influenced your game. And I can relate because I hate to be a baddie, and when it's two games in a row, I really hate itDFaraday wrote:Well, that escalated quickly. Go baddies!

Anyways, that made you my best choice for a Day One vote. *votes reywaS*
I don't know. When things like that happen to me, I can't wait to voice my thoughts, and I try to convey them any way possible, so when someone just does what he's doing, it strikes me as weird. I don't plan to vote for him yet, but it's an easy way to get out of having to contribute. I don't remember anything substantial from him all game. Was there anything you remember?MovingPictures07 wrote:It was rey, yeah.

The only things that have made me nervous about Boomslang are a lack of suspects/baddie hunting and his ignoring of answering certain questions/posts occasionally.
MP, you said earlier in the game that you trust Rey, right? Or was it Russ? Has any of that changed?
I get that Rey is manipulated somehow, but he can do what he's doing now for posts of people he thinks are bad. I mean there's a way to baddie hunt even in that situation, and I don't see him doing so. All he's doing is posting replies to things that concern him
That said, I was looking VERY much forward to hearing what he had to say today, especially re: suspects.
I understand what you're saying, but if in his position why not just wait until the curse is over? How much can you really say about someone? And we don't know what his curse stipulations say.
Not defending him, but I don't see anything wrong with giving him until N3 or D4 to see what he thinks.
Do you suspect him?
And I have no opinion of Russ, though I really want to hear from him. Especially since he voted for me N2 for the wand but didn't really explain it.
I agree.MovingPictures07 wrote:If someone can correct me re: Boomslang, I'm all ears. But frankly, while I have no idea what his alignment is, he has consistently read genuine to me and I do NOT get the suspicion on him at all.

Oh, okay. Not sure what to think of DH myself. What Made said about him was interesting, but I can't say I feel comfortable voting for him either at this stageTurnip Head wrote:This is exactly how I'm feeling at the moment as well, with the exception of Zeek who I've picked up no vibes from. These are all reasonable people, especially when they're civvies, so maybe the fact that we're all in agreement is a good thing. But I'm sure there's at least one baddie out there who's already fooled me.FZ. wrote:I find myself agreeing with almost everything that's been said in the last page or so and the following people: TH, Timmer, MP and Bea and zeek. I doubt we're all perceptive civvies who've found the baddies in LC, DF and DH. I wish that's the case, but experience has taught me, that when there's this consensus about who the top suspects are, it turns out bad...meaning one of those I agree with the most is just playing us. I wonder which of those I mentioned is going to be that baddie. For the time being, I find myself trusting those the most.
The other thing I want to say... I don't agree with the DH suspicion, and Timmer doesn't have an opinion on DF yet it seems. I think LC is the only suspect that all of the above people you mentioned have agreed upon.
Don't go there. Been there, done that. No one listens...Turnip Head wrote:You call that subtle defending? lol I was pretty outspoken about it. I absolutely believed we should not lynch Made based on yesterday's "evidence". I think it was ignorant to vote for Made without considering all points of view. I stated a few times that Made could still be a baddie, but not for the reasons that people were voting for him. That said, I've felt good about Made in all his recent posts so I'll continue to subtly defend him because I think he's a civvie.DharmaHelper wrote:The llama suspicion being weak, and the subtle defending from Bass and TH (and possibly others, I can't recall specifics and its too late atm to go fishing)
I do recall Bass making a post along the line of "I see the case on Made, but can we really afford to pull the trigger?" and TH's support of Made is well documented.
That might be the most logical chunk for you, DH, but I don't see the logic in it at all. I actually think that most of the Llama voters were civvies who felt Made was being wrongly accused by Llama and others. Possibly a baddie or two in there since the votes were so focused on two individuals. But I don't think there's any reason to analyze the Llama voters over the Made voters, UNLESS Made is a baddie. And we'd have to lynch Made to find that out, and I don't think he's a baddie, so... unless you get Made lynched, and he then flips baddie, unless that happens then I don't see how we can possibly walk down this line of logic.DharmaHelper wrote:Logically, in a game like this and in actual detective work, etc, it makes the most sense to start with the larger picture and work your way down into smaller chunks that are easier to analyze.
For me, the most logical "chunk" to analyze is llama voters.
In fact, I feel much more compelled to look at the Made voters than the Llama voters. Some people probably truly believed Made was lying, but I think others were aware that they could hop on that bandwagon without looking too suspicious. Made clearly made waves on Day 2 and I can see the baddies in their chatrooms salivating at the opportunity for an easy lynch.

ApparentlyDharmaHelper wrote:Well we can ping and pong this back and forth all we want but I think the crux of it is "Different strokes for different folks."
I find what I find suspicious, you evidently do the same.
No, what I'm saying is, a baddie would be much more concerned in voting with what would appear as "solid" evidence, than a civ would. And the reason for voting llama was allegedly weaker, because there wasn't any "evidence". So I think if a baddie had to vote for one of two who weren't on his team, he'd vote for Made. And if Made is a civ, there are two teams who'd be more likely to do that. Hence the higher likelihood of finding baddies on the Made listDharmaHelper wrote:Since the reasoning for voting for llama was weak (apart from it being proven false), it'd be equally as easy for baddies to bandwagon onto him. By what you JUST posted, you've proven my point. You say the odds of there being baddies that voted for Made would be higher if we was proven civ? LLama *was* proven civ.FZ. wrote:RIP INH.
Timmer, I hope things get better. Sadly, I can relate, even though I hope what you're dealing with is very different from this. Fucking cancer has taken 2 close friends recently and is now threatening to take a family member from me. So this game is a struggle for me as well. Sometimes though, it's a good escape from RL. I think that's why I keep playing.
I'm not fully caught up yet, but I just needed to address this post. Since we now know Made was not lying, at least about what every person who voted for him voted for, then your reasoning sucked, and if anything, this just proves what I said before. That since the voters for Made had a more "solid" reason to vote for him, it's much easier for baddies to bandwagon on that lynch then it was on llama's.DharmaHelper wrote:Roxy wrote:DF - why limit yourself that way? Do you think that every person who did not vote llama is a civ? Or vice versa do you think that everyone who did not vote either Made or llama is good?
In essence what I am seeing DH and now you are saying is that I, a llama voter, should be scruntinized more bc I did not try and lynch Made. it just feels wrong to limit yourself in this way.
Actually, thats kind of exactly what I'm saying. I understand I'm unlikely to convince you that looking at a group of players that includes yourself is a good idea, but check my logic/thought process out:

Taking into consideration that there are two groups of baddies, and the fact that we know civvies make mistakes and lynch other civvies, I see absolutely no reason to assume that there are more baddies on llama's list then there are on Made's.
And that's even without assuming Made is a civ. If he turns out to be a civ, I'd say the odds of finding baddies on Made's list are even higher

Bea, yeah, I'm passionate.

I just take them to heart more. I really hate lynching a civ, hence my strong apology before.
linki: good question. I think the only person he voiced suspicion for, was DH, and it was strongyea - we were snowed by ash. They did a great job of divide and conquer in that game!
I know what a passionate civ you are. I've seen it so many times. I know you really do feel badly when you are a civ and you lynch another civ. I didn't want that point to go unnoticed. Especially when people who are less familiar with your play style were starting to suspect you for it.
linki - blooper! hi! How's it? What do you think about everyone else? Who are you trusting most obviously besides MP since you just voted him? - Who are you trusting least? Why? What do you think about what's been going on? Cuz things are going on now...
linkie more - zeek - do you mean that you think trust in dom is less/more than it should be vs trust in mp? or LC?
You have a point there. MP is the king of "he slipped- he's a baddie". No matter Made's alliance, civ MP should have been all over him.zeek wrote:I'd prefer Dom to have the wand over MP.

The thing that bothers me the most is the part where Made asked Epig if he can share it and he said yes. The default here is no. Made knows this too. Just by telling us this, it automatically makes people suspicious of him. If I'm were a baddie, this is something I just wouldn't do. Again, only reason to do so is to gain something that is not at face value. Gaining credibility as a civ is just not worth it, and the fact he got so many votes is a proof of it.zeek wrote:Exactly why I think this makes more sense if Made is bad. He's used to getting suspected and going out early. I think he's just rolled the dice and tried something different.Snow Dog wrote:I think FZ makes very good points. I didn't vote Made simply because I don't see the logic of his actions if he was bad. Plus he seems to be a player that people are always suspicious of.

I just think most people are giving him way too much benefit of the doubt.

I feel so nebulous on nearly everyone. A lot of people haven't said much still. There aren't a lot of people I'd straight up oppose actually, but I'm still a nervous horse about trusting people so early on.
What if Boomslang is a baddie and this information somehow helps the baddies by making Boomslang look better? Just one option which would make it "balanced" Also, I was thinking that the way it was said or how Made said it was said, doesn't necessarily mean it was forcing a vote. What if it was a message just to mess with his mind? Could be so many things. The way people just used it as an excuse to lynch him without considering any other possibility made me think at some point that the person who was being saved was llama and not Made.zeek wrote:Can we all just acknowledge how much emphasis Epi puts on game balance? Good, now lets think about how Boddy hasn't blackmailed Made, because Made could not tell us if that had happened... cool, now lets think about an unknown blackmailer whose blackmailing can be revealed.
