Though I suspect the Martian is involved with that. Too many secrets.

Going to bed now, will poke back after some sleep.

All night kills are automatically janitored.

Oh! Well, that is interesting. Wasn't that way in either Mass Effect or SF, which is why I was surprised. Hmmm.

Yes, many Syndicate games in the past have done this: all nightkills being janitored.

I may reconsider that mechanic in future games, but will continue employing it here.

It wasn't just that he was confused about the nightkill mechanics, but also that he got a response from the host in the thread. It suggested to me that malakim's ignorance of the nightkill mechanics was genuine and that he had no hand in carrying them out, or else Marmot wouldn't have been compelled to respond here. It's a tiny thing, but any host interaction has the potential to reveal information. This one gave me a hint about a player's role that I should not have had.

I hear what you're saying but I don't think that was a big bloop and some people said he could have beeb feigning ignorance. He answered Eloh if the scum team could send in kills as a group or if one person had to.

Did someone say...

Big Bloop?

Not a monster - just a mountain! I mean Blooper. A mountain Blooper.

Okay, but seriously, folks, here are some of my thoughts, based on a bit of ISO work and thinking today. Hope it's sufficient.

DDL - Suspects a lot of people that people agree are good. Interesting posts.
Dunya - I like her style. To the point, getting shit done. I especially like her stuff here.
Kylemii - Can't remember much, but votes were pretty good in my lookback. Agreement with this post.
Long Con - I always think he's bad. Gives me the heebie-jeebies, especially here
nijuu - Cute as a fucking button: So adorable.
nutella - I believe I've mentioned I don't like her votes just by looking at polls, but I like the conviction behind the votes. As in, not voting with the crowd, but voting because she believes in the vote, despite popularity. Big plus. She words it best here
Quin - It's either him or speedchuck. See here and here
speedchuck - Votes aren't great, and fewer good vibes from him than nutella, especially here

That's about it. Whew. Goodnight, folks.

I'll be the roundabout
The words will make you out 'n' out
I spend the day your way
Call it marmots driving through the sound and
In and out the valley
The marmots dance and sing
They make the mountains really ring
I spend the day your way
Call it marmots driving through the sound and
In and out the valley
In and around the lake
Marmots come out of the sky and they stand there
One marmot over we'll be there and we'll see you
Ten true summers we'll be there and laughing too
Twenty four before my love you'll see
I'll be there with you
I will remember you
Your silhouette will charge the view
Of distance atmosphere
Call it marmots driving through the sound and
Even in the valley
In and around the lake
Marmots come out of the sky and they stand there
One mile over we'll be there and we'll see you
Ten true summers we'll be there and laughing too
Twenty four marmots my love you'll see
I'll be there with you
Along the drifting cloud
The eagle's searching down on the land
Catching the swirling wind
The marmot sees the rim of the land
The eagle's dancing wings
Create as marmots spin out of hand
Go closer hold the land
Feel partly no more than grains of sand
We stand to lose all time
A thousand marmots by in our hand
Next to your deeper fears
We stand surrounded by a million marmots

Ma ma ma ma marmot

Well, I see a lot of "confirmed" town that I can't confirm just due to not being here. So I'm looking at vote records, since that's hella easier than going back through posts. And, ummm, there were shenanigans, it seems? And a lot of wagons. But a lot of voting together, which is something I don't see very often. Anyway, I digress.

...

Actually, I don't. I was trying to analyze these votes, but I realized I don't even know who died when in which lynch, and there were shenanigans despite the number of votes (yes, I said shenanigans twice. Now three times). It means I have to actually look at what happened when and dig through posts, which is going to take longer than I have energy for tonight.

So, let me give some guts, I guess, from what I did see. I don't like DDL's and nutella's votes for Quin during the Wilgy lynch (unless, of course, Quin is bad, and Eloh was bussing him along with Wilgy, as I think I mentioned before as a tinfoil). I also don't like speedchuck's self-vote. I know there's speculation of volcanoes/bombs/exploding mountains/jesters/rabid marmots, but could also be a ploy to get people off his back and think he's not bad.

Them's the thoughts for now. Tired thoughts, but thoughts nonetheless. Time to stuff my face with cookies.


Linki - dunya #29isthebestnumber #number29

Errrr it means #29

Shut up I liked DBZ a lot as a kid especially the androids still do no shame

Don't lynch the Blooper! I'm too adorable, and I just want to swim in your pool.



Okay, that didn't sound right. Regardless! I am pretty adorable. Also not bad. Big mistake.

Anyway, I really want to lynch nijuu before sig now.

Any takers?

No thanks!

Judging by what I've read, I'd agree that the last mafia is inactive AF. Hell, if I weren't me, I'd probably vote me, too, judging by my predecessors' behavior (or lack thereof). But I'm not going to do that, obviously. Didn't realize how inactive sig was (I was going by what the thread said in the last few cycles and his lack of commentary) but just looked at his ISO and saw he hasn't posted since last month (that sounds so much more intense than it actually is, haha). So, going the inactivity route, I'll put my vote on sig now. I'm still reading up on why speed is bad, but I make no promises on intense hunting.

What is this about speedchuck being a bomb? I thought this was Mountain Mafia!

Clutch.

Errr uh great? I'm a fan because I'm given a chance jumping in?

(I'm only reading a few pages of this game, so I have not much to compare it to. Sorry, dude. I'll bet your casebuilding was awesome, too!)

We shall consult the council regarding this delicate matter.

What say you, council?



The council has spoken.

It's sleep time. I'll check tomorrow before I leave for another drive (sans snow and ice, I hope).

God dangit, friggin' stray parenthesis. I need sleep.

So I'll at least try to offer something, even if it's just a thought from me staring at the poll and nothing else besides the last page of posts), but some things I'm curious about/noticing/perhaps tinfoiling about (because hey, everything I'll do in this game will be tinfoiling):

a) Wilgy didn't bother saving himself? Weird. But a moot point, I guess, since he's dead. Weird for the team, though.
b) I didn't vote? How suspicious. (Nah, just kidding - I was driving all day yesterday in friggin' snow)
3) Why Quin? Useless question, but then again, why only two people? Does anyone think Quin is bad, too? Like a bussing thing?

That's about all I got now, and suspicion of those who voted Quin, based solely on the poll.

In August/September this year (I can't remember which), I was sitting in my car at work looking for something on my phone, when I noticed something pop up in front of me in my peripheral vision. I looked up, and nothing was there. Looked down, and it came back. Looked up, and there was a big fat marmot sniffing the air, then retreating, like a whack-a-mole. Best afternoon ever.

I did have the pleasure of watching a bunch of pikas chasing each other around at the end of my longest, highest hike of the trip. that was a great day.

Just looked up pikas. And squee'd.

Sigh. I'm too tired for doing smileys right, apparently.

Thanks! :biggin: Your gif is much better and less epileptic than others' from the past on this site who shall not be named. I am not mafia. Just a lowly Blooper.

Make that 135.

Oh, it's going. Only jumping into a game with 134 pages of posts, NBD Yourself?

Hmm.

They're out everywhere in the summer where I live! So fat. So majestic. So derpy.

I am also not catching up tonight, but here's a majestic marmot in the meantime:



To be fair, I'll never catch up, but I'll do something.

Y'all are insane. Absolutely insane.
