The Hobbit Mafia: Day 12

[Bullzeye]

Less than half an hour to vote now and only two people have done...

[Snow Dog]

Less than half an hour to vote now and only two people have done...

I am still considering.

[Snow Dog]

Of the people I suspect are bad I am least sure of Spacedaisy and Juliets. I will give them the botd for now.

So that leaves metalmarsh.

[Epignosis]

You've spent a hell of a lot of time and effort coming after someone you didn't even originally have a reason to come after. When people are pushing cases against me I prefer to defend than attack because I know that, in some cases, if I claim I'm suspicious of someone who is on the fence about me they will vote me to defend themselves. It happens. I don't want to cause you and kind of discomfort, embarrassment, humiliation, upset, or pressure. I just want the satisfaction of proving someone wrong when they're so passionate about how right they are. It's one of my favourite things in mafia.

If proving people wrong is one of your favorite things in Mafia, then why did you beg the Goblins or Smaug to night kill you in order to ruin any plans someone might have had?

Goblins or Smaug, whichever of you is not framing me right now, we all know what is going to happen tomorrow. I don't want to give whoever is setting me up the satisfaction of watching me make a desperate but futile attempt to defend myself. So I have a proposition. I'd like one of you to NK me tonight! This isn't a trick, I don't have any daggers or anything. I just want to throw a spanner in the works for whoever is doing all this. They'd never expect me to just go and die, it'd probably ruin all their plans! I think it'd be really funny.

I just don't get it.

Mongoose was bad when she claimed X, but you're not when you claim X.
People who vote on bandwagons without adding anything new are suspicious, but you are not when you do it.
Proving people wrong is one of your favorite things in Mafia, but you begged to be killed (thereby at least postponing that satisfaction).

You are making so many good points Rob that I am considering voting Bullz after all. I dunno.

[Epignosis]

So that leaves metalmarsh.

For the record, I could vote for MM also. He self-voted on the day TH was lynched, but on other days, I believe he was directly involved in all the other lynches.

Going to look.

[Spacedaisy]

I'm voting Metalmarsh. I would rather vote Splints, but since she is insanified I won't today.

*metalmarsh*

Linki: this is my third try here... Holy linkitis!

[juliets]

Epi is right. He can be wrong and i have to remember that. My gut is telling me you're genuine Bullz and today I'm going to go with my gut and give you the botd. You've done a good job of defense since I last voted for you. That leaves me with one of the people I'm unsure of so I'm making a gut vote for metalmarsh.

[Marmot]

Of the people I suspect are bad I am least sure of Spacedaisy and Juliets. I will give them the botd for now.

So that leaves metalmarsh.

Just a moment ago, you were uncertain about those three. What changed your mind so quickly?

Linki: what changed your mind SD?

Linki: what changed your mind juliets?

I knew they wouldn't anyway but tbh I thought it would be funny if they did. It'd certainly be something unusual. Plus who says I don't have a dagger?

I don't know how I survived. I don't know what else to say about that. The only thing that makes sense is that K4J had a powerful vote.
I've explained why I voted AP. It was him, who seemed likely to be bad, vs Boogs, who I was very certain was not bad.
I've just answered point 3.

[Snow Dog]

Holy cow! I mention voting MM and votes come in!

[fingersplints]

I've offered plenty of time for you to talk about other players, discuss suspicions, and help demonstrate that you are on the side of the civilians. Instead, all you've used that time to do is be defensive, say things that aren't true, and taunt me into votin.

[Marmot]

Holy cow! I mention voting MM and votes come in!

Color me bewildered.

[Snow Dog]

I am nervous now about voting MM. Two of my suspects voted him

[Bullzeye]

Voting MM in hopes of protecting myself.

Yours linkied with mine. I had already actually written mine and did not see yours until I tried to post the first time.

Metalmarsh, nothing changed my mind. You were on my list I posted some time ago. I don't understand the question...

[Spacedaisy]

Ghange of plan. Voted Spacedaisy again.

You are wrong about me Snow.

[birdwithteeth11]

Yeah, is there really a point to me even playing this game? I don't have time to post, I don't have time to vote (Although today, we found out my grandma's surgery to remove her gallbladder got moved from mid-July to today at 3:30 so that's the main reason why), but still. So unbelievably pissed with myself.

Not sure who I would have gone with. Not like it matters, given I don't contribute anything worthwhile to this game. I'm really sorry everyone!

[Snow Dog]

Thanks. I'm feeling a bit better. I need to get my head wrapped around this game before it ends though.

[Kylemii]

i'm voting bullz again, there were some posts before the lynch post which lead me to believe that maybe he did know he was going to survive.

i have to go, i'm travelling today, but i'll try to keep up via phone since i don't have to drive

Quote these posts. Oh wait you won't be able to since you're travelling. That's convenient.

The ones where you talked about how you would behave if you were a dying baddie. How you wish you could go all "bwah haha" but you couldn't. they seemed strange in light of your survical. Because surviving a lynch would be another reaspn why you would hold back on that I can't quote but you can check them.yourself if you want.

[Russtifinko]

Ok, the host is back in the US! Reading my PMs and then I'll do the post.

I'm starting to give up on ever doing another host post on time, but whenever I get a chance to do so I will move the poll time back a bit. That should help. Be aware, the Night post will be late tomorrow because of the US's World Cup game. PMs will be accepted until I get back from watching that )likely around 6pm EST or possibly later). That should compensate some for the night being short due to today's lateness. Note that the poll will end at the usual time.

[Epignosis]

Made the mistake of buying my daughter the Frozen soundtrack. The children listen to music as they go to bed.

I'm on my second to last night of sanity.

How do I counter this? With a Bioshock Infinite soundtrack.

[Russtifinko]

Who is murdering people?

Nice.

But if what I've heard from other parents is true, you just dug your own grave with the Frozen soundtrack.

[birdwithteeth11]

Also, I really, REALLY want to go with the last poll option. Just sayin'.

It wouldn't be bad, but we have an autistic son who gets up almost every time it goes off and turns it back on.

He has expressed an enjoyment of jazz and old ass country music though. I approve of both.

And bear in mind that before his sister could say much, he was going to sleep on Gentle Giant (The Power and the Glory), Yes (The Yes Album & Tormato), and Genesis (Selling England by the Pound). Simon is a cool old man in the body of a 6 year old.

Day 11 -- Outside the Cave

The discussion that day was very heated. Bullzeye, in particular, was vehement about his innocence. When the discussion came down to whether he or Metalmarsh89 should die, he raised his voice to what some others thought was a dangerously high volume, this close to the dragon.

"I am innocent! He's the evil one!!!" Bullz shouted. Others were convinced by his shouting, and really they just wanted him to be quiet, so they began to stab MM to end the argument.

Spacedaisy was one of the first to put a knife into MM, just under his belly. Others joined in, and Bullz stabbed him under an armpit. Suddenly, there was a huge BANG! and a flash, followed by a cloud of smoke. Everyone's ears were ringing, even those of the group who had stood further away, unwilling to stab Metalmarsh. Eventually the smoke cleared, and the group saw the smoking body of Metalmarsh89. The force of the explosion had torn away what proved to be a very clever mask to reveal a sickly green visage beneath.

When members of the group tore their eyes away, they saw two other bodies lying next to MM's. They were rendered unrecognizable, their bodies torn into by the force of the explosions. juliets shook her head, dazed, where she had been thrown against a rock. Epignosis had them call role to see who was still alive. Bullzeye and Spacedaisy proved to be the missing two.

Metalmarsh89 has been lynched. He was the Goblin Sapper (Goblin Town Goblins).
Bullzeye has been killed.
Spacedaisy has been killed.
The Wood Elves have been eliminated.

[thellama73]

Metalmarsh89 has been lynched. He was the Goblin Sapper (Goblin Town Goblins).

Dom AND MetalMarsh?! I thought I was trusting my gut too much. Really, I wasn't trusting it enough.

[Epignosis]

Glad I didn't vote for Mr. Fireworks.

And there's a cautionary tale on why you shouldn't just vote to save yourself. You could be voting for a landmine! Those are dangerous.

I'm not sure if Bullzeye got his wish or not. I hope he's laughing at me regardless. Laughter is the best medicine. I guess. I'm no doctor.

[Spacedaisy]

yep, there is a shock, lol. Good luck civs!

[Epignosis]

yep, there is a shock, lol. Good luck civs!

For the record, I thought you were all right.

[Russtifinko]

Night 11 -- Smaug's Lair

The group was extremely nervous about entering the great beast's cavern now, being so terribly few in number after the day's events. However, they had come this far, and some were determined for the dangerous journey and all the death not to be in vain. Others felt a despair that, instead of taking their will to continue, gave them the attitude that if they were to die anyway, they may as well do so fighting a dragon. Maybe the Lake-Town Men would write a song, someday, about their ill-fated excursion.

They crept as soundlessly as they could through the giant entry hall, made so that 50 well-muscled dwarves walking abreast could stride comfortably through. They kept near the walls, but needn't have bothered. Smaug had heard what happened outside his cave, and had guessed what it indicated. He cackled to himself, shrouded in darkness and hidden behind one of his countless mounds of gold, in the throne room where Thorin's grandfather had once sat.

"Welcome, travellers! You have come far to reach this point, but you were many more when you set out. You are very brave to continue on so, when death is certain. But a brave thief is nonetheless a thief, and I know that you seek to take from me that which is mine, which I rightfully won in the glory of battle. You need sneak no longer: I can smell you out. I would tell you to turn back, but you have angered me by entering my sanctum. Only death awaits you here."

[Russtifinko]

Tonight's Riddle (it's another guest one, yay!)

Fall from the sky.

Then follow the shepherd, that great medicine man.

The lame shall not be locked in stillness, but shall rise and others will follow.

The ghosts are not miles away, as they are visiting the leader of the dead chickens.

The sun shall visit the garden in peace, but will wage war against it in search of the ring that speaks of unity.

The named twin, son of the Roman, touches those he chooses, those who may become the protector of the light- at the taxi, the store, the wedding, the accident, the hospital, and the funeral. The greatest threat is one like Johnny Cash.

Metalmarsh89 has been lynched. He was the Goblin Sapper (Goblin Town Goblins).

This has been fun. Can't wait for the postgame.

I most definitely am.

[Epignosis]

I most definitely am.

Except I figured he was the Wood Elf King and decided to use him to draw out Smaug.

Hi Juliets.

[Dom]

[Dom]

I tried.

[Kylemii]

I don't understand what happened, did MM get lynched and take out the other two?

Hi Juliets.

Yep looks like he was elf.

And sorry Spacey seems like I was wrong. It just had to be you or Metlmarsh or Juliets. Or all three.

RIP Bullz and SD

[Snow Dog]

ibwop or a combination of those three I meant.

[Snow Dog]

I don't understand what happened, did MM get lynched and take out the other two?

Yes he had rigged himself with explosives being a sapper.

[Snow Dog]

Wait Epi. You didn't care that the Wood Elf got lynched to draw out Smaug?
