I think this game has reinforced my intention to further limit my participation in Mafia games (in general) so I'll be passing. Thanks.

I didn't even know this had ended... I honestly don't have any clue haw this all panned out and am beyond caring. Thank you for the game LC and Black Rock. I can't imagine this was an easy game for you given what I saw as an incredible degree of complexity. Congratulations too to Chuckles (whom I genuinely came to admire greatly this game), my old friend Quin (whom I am very happy that he has had yet another success here) and Tranq (I'd like to play more of these games here with you although I doubt that will happen...). Thanks to everyone else who played (especially INH for whom I now have renewed respect) and thanks for having me as part of this game.

That write-up was beautiful, LC. Thank you!

Thanks for the game, Guys!

Glorf, who would you rather see gone than yourself?
Hey, INH See, that's kinda my point. I'd probably vote for Bass_the_Clever (if I could). I can't physically vote for you but (as hard as this is for me to admit) I honestly don't know that I would if I could right now. Spacedaisy? Yeah, no... Quin? Sorry, I couldn't do that to him. Chuckles? As a matter of principle, no. That I think leaves Tranq, who I don't know and have had no experience of so on that rationale alone, I'd probably go Tranq...
I'm flattered .

I meant no offence, my friend

Maybe it's not intentional? Like we've discovered a 'bug' in the system?

And Bass_the_Clever...

What happened to INH?

Let the record show that I kept all of my promises. Everyone that I said I would protect, I tried my damnedest to protect.

I'm going into Day 4, assuming that I make it there, with a clean slate. Fresh board. You can count me out of the alliance, if the remaining members wish to continue it.

People can deal with me, knowing that I will keep to my word.

That was tricky for anyone to have negotiated all those commitments, my friend but you did well. I have a renewed respect for you after that

Spacedaisy wrote: ↑Sat May 27, 2017 9:07 pm Nutella can we get you to move your vote from Glorf?

I appreciate the reason why she is voting for me - it's like she's not trying to get rid of me but more a strategy of eliminating options for Epi's longer term survival in this game. The problem is, I think her strategy is wrong as it is based on information I sincerely expect is not accurate.

Spacedaisy wrote: ↑Sat May 27, 2017 8:31 pm Epi needs lynched. If he does not die then so be it, but I want two things for what i offer.

1. I want Epi and Elo to be the top two.

2. I want protection for myself and Glorf for this lynch.

What I offer: I will fuse with one of your group's members tonight. This doesn't seem like much except it will be a definite benefit for the person merge with, given their element. It may be you, it may be one of the others. But it will happen. I'll leave it up to the person I fuse with whether or not to confirm I did what I said I would.

By way of explanation, Epi being able to merge with someone he knows will get him lynch immunity means we need to get rid of him. Also, I'm not a fan of his he man woman haters club. Elo, I had no beef with and made no move towards or gave her any reason to fear me, but she has publicly stated she did. Fear can motivate night targets. Elo's made herself a threat to me and as such I'd like to see her get one of the top two spots in this lynch.

So, do you want to deal?
Deal accepted. Glorf already requested protection for this lynch, so now I guess he's doubly-protected.

Switched my vote to Elo.

Also, if Epi knows a person he can merge with in order to get an NK, if he's still around during Day 4, he's gonna do the same thing. A regular NK and a lynch protect. To quote a famous poet, no one man should have all that power.

Only Eloh and Epi haven't voted yet. They will almost certainly vote for me so unless there are other people who haven't voted yet that are prepared to support you, I think that puts me in something of a pickle...

As I understand it, we're losing the top two lynch targets today. All the votes are currently on Epi so we need a viable second option lynch. Seeing as how she's "good for Glorf" I'll place my vote on Eloh.

Elohcin wrote: ↑Sat May 27, 2017 4:24 pm This is absolutely silly. They will vote for you eventually glorf.

How is it silly, my friend? Yes, they will eventually vote me off at some point down the track but not today like you've already indicated you intend to do. Given the unpredictability of this game so far, I'm willing to take my chances. Thanks for your concern.

If I can 'hire' you 'Alliance' peeps for protection, I could be up for that... What's your price?
Simple: don't vote for us, and we won't vote for you.

Also, an ounce of Mexican black-tar heroin.

None of you were likely to get my vote this Day phase anyway so I have no problem with that.

The second part will be a lot more of an ask...

Epignosis wrote: ↑Sat May 27, 2017 1:24 pm In other words, if that quartet have pledged not to vote one another and pledged not to kill one another, then they will be mustering their resources against them that ain't them. If you ain't them, then you is us, and them is gonna put the hurtin on us if us don't put a hurtin' on them.

If I'm reading this correctly, it's one of the first remarks I've seen from you this game that makes sense to me. At this stage of the game with the number of players rapidly diminishing, I wouldn't be rushing to join an 'alliance' that will limit my chances of personal gain by removing players with whom I might personally gain considerable advantage from fusing with for a day or two yet.

And now, I shall also probably be on hiatus. But I'll be around, ooooh I'll be around

Seems a large part of the membership of this site is going on hiatus

I'm not entirely sure what that means for the site in the short term but I wish you all the best with everything you're doing in life, my friend

This should in no way be interpreted as an 'alliance' but I find you worthy of my loyalty, Chuckles.
Speed has made it quite clear that he has no intention of voting for you.

If you could say the same about him, that'd be what I call an alliance.

Oh? And where do you get an idea like that from, my friend? Certainly not from Chuckles own words:

Who are you talking about?

linki, indeed. He posted once last night and then not since.
I was talking about from my standpoint versus glorfindel. If he likes you it's an asset, but anyone he doesn't like is of course seeing him as a threat. This applies to anyone of course but with glorfindel being such a "nice guy" I would think that people who butter him up the most will never even do much as he glanced at by him to be voted for. There's also the case where no one votes for him because he's nice and so that puts more threat on everyone else

Linki: I'm down as well

My friend, you seriously have no idea at all what you're talking about. I know you THINK you understand me but I'm here to tell you that you haven't a clue.

Maybe the long weekend will help.

Thanks, Jack

I'm sure it will - I just need to get through tonight and all will be fine.

I have to head off to work for now so my continued posting here will be a little more 'sporadic' so I'll throw my votes down now. I have no issue voting 'No lynch' for one of them. As for the other two, Day one just reinforced to me that there is a distinct lack of love for high eleven princes in the Epi/Eloh household, so for the time being, I'll go with that.

@Jackofhearts2005 - no, I don't think you have much to fear from me. I kinda think of you and Chuckles in the same way and have no overwhelming desire to see either of you eliminated for now.

Sorry, Guys... I'm not silenced, just on something of a real life emotional rollercoaster is all.

Glorfindel, is this a correct summary of your thought process in this game?
I have to confess that I could not have expressed my attitude to this game anymore eloquently than SD did right there. I refuse to formally bind my vote into an alliance with people for whom I have a great deal of respect only to betray them later in the game.
I understand. However, given the nature of this game, can you tell us why anyone should want to keep you alive, knowing there's no chance you would ever side with them?

Allow me to paraphrase your question here, my friend, for clarity sake: You are asking me why a player would want to have someone around on whom they could rely to deal with them openly and honestly as opposed to someone who would openly manipulate them only to at some point in the game (with 100% certainty) betray them? Did I get that right?

Spacedaisy wrote: ↑Tue May 23, 2017 1:39 am Also, I have a question for the hosts. In order for an element to mix, do both people have to choose each other or when we send in a player's name to combine with, do we then get the result? I guess what I'm asking is, should we be coordinating with someone to each chose each other?

You know, it's starting to scare me that you and I seem to be on the same wavelength...

May I ask...? If I have questions about game mechanics, can I ask them here or should I PM our Host/s?

I wasn't voting for glorf because he was nice. I was voting because he wasn't straightforward. He beat around the bush to reject gman as an ally.

I think, my friend that you are reading something into my comments that wasn't there. This is the exchange to which you refer:

G-Man wrote: ↑Mon May 22, 2017 12:19 pmGlorfindel- I'll be your friend this game. I promise!
I ask nothing from you G other than the respect and genuine affection that I shall show you. Beyond that, you should do whatever you need to win this game and I'll not hold that against you. I believe that you have all the qualities necessary to excel in this game and wish you only the very best of luck, my friend

I interpreted G's remark in the context of an historical reference to our last game together (Battlestar Galactica) in which he adopted a highly aggressive but nonetheless effective posture towards me. I have since learnt that the 'G' that I experienced that game was a work of fiction and doesn't resemble in the slightest the truly great guy he is. I did NOT in any way interpret his remark as an overture for an alliance and my response to him was nothing more than a sincere expression of the respect I have for him.

Accordingly, I reject utterly your assertion that I A) "beat around the bush" and B) rejected him as an ally. My question to you, my friend is why the exchange between G and I got under your skin?
