Best concept album ever, plus almost every song stands on it's own.

Have you ever been to the actual Battersea Power Station?

I have last December. It seems under heavy repairs, two of the horns were even taken down.

Battersea Park is my dog's favourite place to walk so I go there frequently.

One was taken down and replaced, and now the other three are being repaired. TThe council apparently wants to make sure the new ones look the same. but you can still tell which one is the new one right now because it is a different color. Needs to be painted still.

I've actually researched the Battersea restoration project quite a bit recently. When I took my dad to the airport no one believed me that one of them was gone recently so I had to look it all up when I got home.

Isn't it obvious by now? It feels like it to me.

Idk what is supposed to be obvious because I am not seeing it, but I have been admittedly only skimming the thread and am not great at picking up hints and shit anyways. If you make a better case for Nutella in a couple minutes before bed id be willing to switch. I don't feel THAT strongly about sig, but it's all I have atm.

You are also scum.

Linki: no I saw them all. I just don't care.

I read the role card midway through that day, and saw there was a lie detector role.
I figured, hey, mafia probably have seen that and are scared of it, why don't I ask a whole lot of questions and see what I get back.
Nutella and bubbles avoided answering the question 'are you civ aligned'. I think mafia would have deliberately avoided it.

Nutella made a distancing post about bubbles
Bubbles made a distancing post before timmer's death about wanting to see more from timmer, despite there being HEAPS of very quiet people (including her)

I believe Nutella and bubbles are both bad, and are together on the team that killed timmer.

Golden, now that we know timmer was a civ does that shift bubbles off of your suspect list since you are talking about her post that seemed to be a distancing post from timmer? Or do you think her supposed avoidance of the 'are you civ aligned' question leave her on your suspect list? I'm not denying bubbles is bad I just want to know how you feel about your evidence now that timmer was revealed as good.

So...your argument against lynching two people is that...Mafia will kill to set up two people? How do they manage that?

Bass_the_Clever wrote:Non changeable votes makes people use there vote and place it somewhere it's going to stick and doesn't allow people to jump all or the place.

Changeable votes benefit civilians more than Mafia.

Tell me, anyone: When you are bad, do you feel less or more comfortable going into a Day phase knowing that the tide can turn against you at the eleventh hour?

Bass_the_Clever wrote:Do you have two people you really think that are mafia ? With out a question of a doubt?

Without a question of doubt?

Erm...no.

If I did, this game would cease to offer any entertainment value whatsoever. I'd rather play pick up sticks if no element of doubt were involved.

Bass_the_Clever wrote:Can you honestly say that to Lynches can't benefit the mafia too?

That's a risk you take when you sign up for Mafia in the first place. There are, at most, eight Mafia loose. If this is seriously your viewpoint, then you are arguing that we shouldn't have any lynches, because lynches can hurt civilians.

My argument is that a lynch is the civilians' primary weapon. It stands to reason, therefore, that two lynches for the price of one benefit civilians.

Yes, those lynches have to be right, but that fact doesn't change whether you have one lynch or fifteen- it's the object of the game.

I agree that lynches are civvies primary weapon on because it gives civvies the most important thing in a mafia game, information. Now the odds are not in favor of lynching to mafia with where the numbers stand, hell that aren't even that great to Lynch one mafia. That's why I don't like the double Lynch. I think we would have got more information from just a single Lynch but it's a dead point now.

I don't get why you don't want to answer my question. How would we get more information from one lynch as opposed to two?

Voting bass
If you give me a good enough answer I will move it.

I hope you guys are right about nutella, but I'm not voting there. I literally didn't have a read on her, and I am not going to jump on a bandwagon of her just because one was forming on someone else. In fact I think it's suspicious the amount of people doing that (while calling her blendy and accusing her of doing just that lol)

You're bad. You're next.

Sorry I didn't see it. I mean technically you would get more info from two lynches because we will find out two people's roles . So that statement I said was wrong.

Sorry for not being aroudn-- fell asleep. :///

That it wasn't wise to vote for a double Lynch. It think when the vote was mad the odds were not in the civvies favor. It was good that we got an Indy last night I just hope we don't Lynch a civ tonight

I don't get most of this MM vs TH thing. Why can't MM suspect canuck for low posting? canuck herself was suspecting low posters, so it seems fair game to me. TH feels completely different from his last version.

Can you name anything else MM has done on-topic in this game?

Dom wrote:

fingersplints wrote:TH: Because I don't agree with your points on someone it does not mean I thought you were bad. I thought you were wrong, but that you had good intentions. I was looking forward to discussing Dom with you more before you were killed. I had reread him some from other games and I became less confident about him being a civvie. That suspicion seems to have dropped off anyways
Now I don't get the same feeling about you having good intetnions. I wouldn't say I suspect you yet. Hopefully the results of this lynch will help me decide about a few people.

This reads rather contrived to me.


What games didyou read?

That was a question in TSM and I think 15 people picked it there. (Neither of the hosts though )

Ripiywg dfaraday and bye juliets. I'm taking a break after this game too so see you around soon

splints what was the purpose of the underlined? It feels like you're talking just to talk

Sorsha wrote:Why are people voting and not giving reasons

I just looked over bass's posts and not liking them. When it was Juliets vs Canuck he decided to vote for Canuck then the next two lynches when Juliets was a candidate he was a no show. He's showed up to vote in the night polls but not the lynch polls plus he's been posting elsewhere on the forums during all of this.

I had originally planned on voting Floyd today but his posts from last night have me doubting his baddie-ness. Tranq- how sure are you about Floyd? Do you think you could be mistaken?

What sounds interesting about the beacon fingersplints?

Not talking just to talk. Just recapping a bit on everything I had just read. Idk what to make of it, and I wish I had a better term to describe it then that, but I like to use interesting I think that someone should check it out. Not sure how much there is to speculate on it until we can figure out more though.

"Someone should check it out" ?? Did you see the part where that space on the map blew up?
I'm starting to think that you put the beacon there

timmer wrote:Read through splints' posts.

So one question I have for splints, from earlier in the game, is what this post was about:

fingersplints wrote:RIP Banana and RIPIYWG Timmer. Sorry for missing the vote and general absence. Will try to be more around from here on out.

I like the points about sig, and am interested to hear his response. Lorab's post remarking about Timmer's low posting also bothers me.

LoRab wrote:Thinking about Timmer's death...and RIPIYWG Timmer of course...two things dawn on me. One is that the mafia team was going for a low poster. Two is that it would seem like good strategy for someone to separate themselves from killing a low poster by talking about how against lynching low posters they are. Just a thought.

Partially because the idea is similar to that of sig's (something discussed in btsc maybe) and this really just feels like trying to set up someone talking about lynching a low poster.

I read this as you agreeing that sig is suspicious (like the points about sig) but simultaneously suspecting lorab for suspecting sig? What was your gist, here? I don't see how you could suspect both sides of something?

As for the rest of splints' posts, she never really latched onto the cases against the known baddies, but has spent time commenting on things without getting too involved, a lot like how juliets often does. She NO U'd Epig at one point.

I'm not sure anything cries out as baddie specifically, but I don't get a strong civ vibe, either. The latest posts are a bit odd, to say the least, but maybe she's just not caught up?

fingersplints wrote:There is only one similarity between me and the BoB game and that is in both of them I had RL internet issues that have prevented me from posting more. I'm not sure how people can really say they even find them similar, when in BoB I distanced like crazy from my teammates, and in this game it seems one of the accusations is that I have stayed away from the baddie lynches.

I have more to address I am sure, but I am still trying to get the PC fully operational , so will be back later. For now I am voting Floyd because self preservation + he doesn't seem to want to play. I also could consider a vote for bass, who I have a break to let him get caught up earlier when I questioned him, but hasn't done anything to make me feel better about him.

splintsy, maybe you're having internet problems, I will take you at your word there. But internet problems did not stop you from posting three times yesterday about how you thought the beacon was interesting. Your internet was working then, so you had an opportunity to be engaged in the game, but only chose to talk about how you think the beacon is interesting. And when I know that you struggle to be engaged as a baddie from past experience, that concerns me.

You and SVS voting for Floyd "because he wants out" does not make me feel all warm and fuzzy either. When did we start lynching people because they want to be replaced?

Turnip Head wrote:

fingersplints wrote:Also TH - I'd always rather see someone lynched then modkilled. Lynching gives us information. Mod killing does not.

I like how you equate asking to be replaced with modkilling.

Turnip Head wrote:My point is that in the last 8 days you have 0 posts about who you think is bad, and 3 posts about how you think the beacon is interesting or defending your point of view about it. You are able to post to defend yourself, but when asked why you aren't contributing to hunting baddies, it's because the internet.
