iirc, recruit order:

me, Russ, DH, LC, Daisy, Hedge, Unfurl, llama, Bullz

This recruit order is correct. Black Rock recruited every night.

I want to just say why each person was recruited. I only could recruit by location at first. I started with SVS and I wanted her on my team. She is very smart and good at being evil. I chose Russ because I didn't know Russ at all. There would be no connection. DH came to my town and I knew DH would love to be recruited. I didn't know people suspected him already at the time. I recruited LC to show off my role, it was better than his. That never happens. We got BTSC at this point so we found out all the rest of the police so the next moves we made was to eliminate the threat since they already got DH. It only took me so long to get Unfurl because I needed to get rid of the police threat. I wanted Unfurl for the same reasons I wanted SVS. After llama took down LC it was either kill or recruit him, he was better as a recruit because no one would suspect him. Bullz was recruited while I was out of town, SVS Facebooked me for approval, I thought it was a good idea. That was our very awesome team. I was very proud of them. They never screwed up with non-participating or anything.

I'm sorry I had to be so absent the last bit of the game but I had to put the possibility of making tons of money ahead of mafia. I literally was in the middle of nowhere and a 4 day concert. I forgot my password to this site and then with 25,000 people with cell phones my network sucked. I worked from 9am until 3 am. I just couldn't do it. It was not an excuse at all and it did effect my game play.

To our dear host, I have never had so many as answers. It was an awesome evil game. Thanks for putting up with my endless PM's and forgetfulness. I have never had such an awesome, complex role. I have never played recruitment, I have always hosted it. It was such a new different experience. Thank you for trusting me with this role.

I picked four cause no one voted for it yet and I am doing whatever the cool kids are doing these days.

Night 9: The End? (Continued)

Project Mayhem has sufficiently infiltrated society.

It is now Day 10. Stuff will happen.

Well I am not dead. What does this mean? Did I just get back for the game to end?

Hello thread, I am back. I tried to check in but was way too busy working and there was 25000 people with cells so my network sucked. I have no idea what is going on yet... am I alive? I better check that first.

I went back and read the last day as I had missed a lot. As far as I could see there wasn't much to get out last day. Not much went on or said. The votes weren't really that suspicious.

To be completely honest I'm having troubles remembering specifics from the last couple of pages. So I guess I will have to look at them again. *sigh*

I'm guessing the kids got in the way again during your re-read and that's why you didn't come back with some thoughts besides "I'm feeling so lost right now. OMG this is how the players of my games feel?" it's weird being on the other side of a mind eff game isn't it? You are too good of a player to let you keep sliding on this. I would and have been lynched MANY times for less. see: Day 1 of your last game.

@ MR - maybe it is - maybe it isn't? I don't know. I know that the very name LC is enough of a mind eff that I'm worried that it can't be *this* easy - ya know? Part of me is going - we HAVE to be being played here. Who was it that said - "I feel like I'm sitting in front of two cups of wine?" - yea. That's me re: LC. Also - THANK YOU for actually being up and around. I always feel like I'm talking to myself.

No I went to bed. I was exhausted and I couldn't read anymore. I still haven't gone back.

I'm off today and will be gone till Sunday. I am working the biggest job of my life this weekend. Will be here when I can. I know I am usually more active, but RL has gotten in my way this game.

I find the LC voters very interesting. At this point I hope he turns up baddie. He gets lynched for stupid reasons every game, sometimes he is bad, sometimes he is good. Yes, I do think they are stupid reasons again this game.

I have to vote now, I'm voting for one of the bandwagoners who really had no original thought on it. Not DP, if he's about to die anyways... I went with MR since I feel like llama and Timmer had good reasons, kyle sort of explained himself better. If LC turns up bad then I am wrong, but by my read of the thread it doesn't seem very likely.

This game is blowing my mind. I just looked at the last days poll and the votes are so spread out. On a normal game, by this point, that would be insane. I now am getting a little piece of my own medicine (re. recruitment games) where there is so much ever changing dynamics, roles, and non-information. I apologize to anyone who has played my games, to be fair this game has stepped those up though. I now will actually read that day. I really wish that I could have been around so I could have felt it as it was happening. That is always much more helpful.

Not fully caught up, I still need to do my back read but have read the newest stuff. I won my fight, I understand what went on a bit. I had a little bit of a hand in it. People who have fought would understand. I do not know why I won. I don't know how these get judged and what made me better, so I do know why another winner might say they don't know why they won and why the fight went how it did. There seems to be many factors surrounding a win and how the loser gets punished. I agree that LC might be on to something here. I also understand why another winner might not know why exactly they won and how the final outcome might have been reached. I think I asked Unfurl myself, in hopes that she got a better understanding than I did. Information in this game seems hard to get.

I really hope I was getting what I read right. I do need to do a lot more reading to make sure I know what the hell is going on. It looks like I need to check out the last lynch as well. I'm not sure how Dom got lynched, I don't remember him much at all.

I haven't caught up yet I will be doing that tonight or tomorrow. This is the last day of my event then I will be home for a couple of days. I hope to be more informed for the next lynch.

MR and Keterman sound fine to me! Good luck guys!

Hi guys, I have no good idea who to vote for so I voted Boogs. Just low posting, no other good reason. I am out of here for the weekend and will likely not be able to check in. I should be back by next lynch. I'll try to check in if I can.

No death is cool. Good luck ladies.

I voted for Canuck.

However, it's prob not a good thing to do... what if lc logs on and sees that br has four waiting msgs or something. .. it might get his brain turning even if he wouldn't read them. Again, I trust lc and br, but next time man, you might need to wake her and tell her to vote herself

I did not have 4 waiting messages

I was awake. I opened my eyes and saw him at the computer, looked at the clock and said "Holy shit, I have to vote. Click on it for me." I did not think of it as a big deal. The I turned over and went to sleep again. It's really my sisters fault. She wanted to play games and drink last night. She made me drink too much and stay up till 4am. I am turning 35 at the end of the month so 4am is too hard for me. I shall never let her talk me into that again.

If people think it was unfair I will take a punishment. It was not illegal BTSC, and never even told him why I was voting that way.

Now for the reason I voted that way. I was not caught up in the thread and I could not read this morning. I voted for a quieter person that had no votes. I wasn't comfortable voting for anyone who had votes because I had no idea why people were voting that way.

Unfurl, I think I do understand your theory better than I did before. Thanks for trying again on the explanation.

BR and Elochin, this is completely unrelated but one of the things I wanted to ask you today (and forgot until now) is why you voted for boogs to fight. He had already fought once and won and I thought the idea was we were trying to give people who hadn't fought the opportunity so we would have everyone leveled up. I'm just curious about your reasoning on that vote.

That was an oversight on my part, I must have missed him in my list of winners. I'll have to fix that.

Wow, that was a lot to take in. I think I forget half of it. I'm not sure if I missed it or not but Unfurl, why did you choose Chicago as the destination in your theory. There is something I'm missing here that isn't making it all add up. I'm a little confused with what came together to allow you to arrive here. Does that make sense?

I voted for Canuck and Boogs.

thellama73 wrote:Also, since someone asked, Canuck replaced Flyin' High who fought SpaghettiEverywhere at Penn's Grove and lost.

Ohhh, so my quick look at the fighters did not help me here. I forgot I read that somewhere.

Also, I think new fighters or previously lost fighters are the way to go. I'd give Canuck a chance. Maybe cause I missed seeing her face around, maybe cause she's Canadian. I don't see where she's fought before.

Holy fuck, wow. I know we were warned but, wow. Will that be happening every vote now?

i voted my friend Bea today. I chose the first person on the list who did not have a vote. My reasoning for doing so is, I don't think any of the cases on people are very strong.

Roxy wrote:Well since Alex clarified idk if it matters anymore bc now people will just say "oh it must of been when Alex messed up"

keterman however my eyes are watching you since you are the only one I have seen say they did not get a PM.

Seems funny suddenly alex making this clarification - timing is everything isn't it?

That's what you must have meant. I received a PM stating that I won the fight, my fighting level went up, and that Keterman was not seriously injured. I felt it strange that Keterman did not receive a PM at the time but then the host apologized if he did not receive a PM so I put it out of my mind.

Nope, not idea why he was killed, as my started level was 1
All I did was give my best at fighting, people who fought probably can have an idea about the thing, we can not talk about

I had a theory that perhaps in even days one of the loser people were gonna die as DP died Night 2, but no one died at Night 4 and instead we merged,
so my paranoic theory was wrong

There doesn't seem to be much pattern between people being injured or not injured, so maybe there was a random chance of either injury or death in every fight and DP just got really unlucky?

Yeah, I thought that might be the case. The host has been cagey with questions so I thought maybe he might have explained something to Unfurl about it. I think I fought the same night as Unfurl, I guess her submission was powerful.

By my point of view the recruitment of winners doesn't hold much water. I won a fight and nothing happened besides my fighting skill got better, or whatever it is. After that I wasn't comfortable fighting any first timers so I bowed out. DH would have known as a winner that he would have been more likely to beat and maybe kill a first timer. The only suspicion I would have of a winner is if they were pushing to fight like DH did.

I don't know if I missed this but Unfurl, do you know why you were able to kill DP in your fight? I wish I knew how the fights were designed but our dear host will not enlighten me.

What do you mean?

Also, on Day 4 a bunch of people began talking about going to Chicago...but there is no Chicago thread. Does that mean we're in Chicago now? Or I am missing something embarrassingly obvious?

I think Chicago got cancelled because the game changed.
