Being on watch, refreshing the page every few minutes to see where the votes will go reminds me of trying to win an item on ebay.

I'm holding my ground and voting Boom. I still think he may be bluffing about being unlynchable :p And...I think Mongoose is good.

It's okay. I think there may be more baddies left than we reckoned. But who I think Zodac was voted for me too, and I've been reading him as civ-friendly, so I think a lot of people bought it.

What I don't understand is that I was called out for trying to waste a lynch opportunity when I explicitly stated that I was leery of doing so and checked with you all to see if it was really wise.

I can't believe you all think I hate my cat. :confused:

Definitely multiple typos. It would not* be the first time.

It wasn't your moment of doubt for me, it was that I thought there was a very specific civ role Mongoose could be and as a result maybe I was wrong about her as a baddie. Since you weren't thinking she was Percy and SVS didn't either I found myself left with my old thoughts that's she bad. Granted i dont know how to take Booms vote for her at the end if he's Cohen or fetus.

Linki I don't think u hate your cat. :consoling:

Damn. This is bad for MacGuyver, but I guess we haven't seen the kills we'd expect if they'd teamed up before now. Should have stuck with my gut on Elo.

If she really was Penny that sucks. I can't help but feel skeptical.

Rip mongoose. This is definitely a bad result. I think looking at Booms actions this game is essential if we are ever going to lynch a baddie. I feel good about Lizzy and nev, but SD, FH, and Boom are to making me feel good at all right now.

In terms of ? my largest ones are for Boom, Elo and SD.

Hedgey and goosey are in the next level. It's possible one of them are conning me in my feelings of civness.

I feel pretty sure that DP is civ.

Then SVS, Nev and Lizzy.

I'm most sure I'm civ.

I have no idea where to vote, but I'm willing to follow what those I trust most think is best. I've had crap luck trying to figure anything out. :(
Based on that, I am not sure who you think to be Percy. Or, should i say, there is only one person you could be alluding to based on process of elimination, and i have read that persons posts over and over before today, and i have no idea how you would get that idea of this persons role, or indeed, any idea of their role at all, based on their posts.
I'm not sure if you're referring to who I think you're referring to, but I feel like the Percy hints haven't exactly been subtle.

RIP Mongoose. I hope Macgyver is still out there to stop this trainwreck of a run we've been having.

I thought the percy hints were pretty obvious tbh. Hence my yelling that I was not percy - nor did I ever think goosey was percy because I had someone tagged to that role.

I have some feels about this vote but it's night and I'm skerred.

Well poop on a grenade. :rip: I had her at Penny/MacG for a few seconds, but then someone I thought might be one of the two, phrased something in such a way that killed it for me. :sigh: MacGyver should try and have a successful kill tonight if they're still alive.

So apparently this game has come down to role hints? I don't generally look for hints and/or claims, they could be faked, they could just be coincidences.

The one time I was sure someone was dropping me a hint, it turns out I was 1,000% wrong, and it shattered my confidence in myself and in them. I am comfortable with the vote i made, and if i was wrong, sorry Bea. I am not sure if I would have expected you to defend her harder, or the opposite, were you bad. Oh the WIFOM.

I don't think either of those I have a role attached to have role hinted (or maybe they have, I couldn't see a hint if it hit me in the face; or if I did I'd take it as a baddie move) - it's more like a combo of night action results and interaction with other players.

Rereading DF makes me think he's most likely civ, though I can't be fully confident about that.
Reading SD tells me absolutely nothing except that she seems to be a very nice person.

Here is my trust list:

Trust: SVS, FH, Lizzy, BWT, Nevinera, Bea
Most likely Civ: DF
No Idea: Elo, Hedge, SD
Probably not Civ: Boom

I would be ok with voting for any of the three in 'No Idea', but I think after rereading the three of them, I like Hedge best for Creeper.
No evidence in the thread, just a general instinct. (And mine have not been really good historically).
I also think that that last comment about Zodac by Elo seemed maybe a little *too* clueless, like she might be trying to pretend that she doesn't know what's going on.
And there is absolutely nothing on SD. She's not putting her neck out or anything, but I suspect she never does.

Based on how the roles are written, I think Penny had to find MacGyver for the awesome civvie ninja stuff to happen. Looks like Penny never accomplished that goal. :(

MacG is probably already dead, I guess.
It's possible he was found last night, but someone would have been a little more noisy in Mongoose's defense I should think.

I hate this guys. :rip: Mongoose. I really did think you were good.

I think we really ought to try Boom again. So many of us just have no clue on the others and I am afraid we will just end up lynching another civ. In my mafia career, I have seen many roles where players are unlynchable, but there are usually conditions. I think it is time we try Boom again and hope his conditions have changed.

Spot on with the list.
I agree about Hedgie. Historically, whenever I back off someone I suspect and tag as a baddies because they have a very good defense, they are revealed as bad at the end of the game.
As far as SD is concerned, I only find her pingy because of gut feeling. I thought if Vomps were bad, he'd most likely be on the same team with Daisy for some reason.
And with Elo it's still :confused:

Linki - I think he might be still alive and Ithink Percy's NK came from MacG.
Elo, unless he's Fetus and Meatboy finds him for the last time tonight, I still say Nay!

In my mafia career, I have seen many roles where players are unlynchable, but there are usually conditions. I think it is time we try Boom again and hope his conditions have changed.
His conditions are either (a) he has exactly two death avoids, of which he has used one or (b) unlynchable until meatboy finds him a fourth time, which hasn't happened yet.
or (c) He had an item of some type that we don't know about, and is really a civ, but I think that's a bit unlikely.

I'm pretty sure he's cohen, in which case lynching him won't accomplish anything unless we do it twice -
since he's got no dangerous powers, and we have a large enough civ block that his vote shouldn't offer a threat, I don't think lynching him asap is a good strategy.
And if you're faking, that one was better than the last one.

Elohcin, I can't fathom why you are pushing this lynch Boomslang stuff so much. The facts show he wasn't lynchable yesterday. If Boomslang is Cohen, he isn't a direct threat (except to those who voted him--of which you are one, is that the reason you want to lynch him so badly?). If he is Fetus, according to BWT he wasn't lynchable yesterday. Do you think BWT was lying?

Cohen doesn't have a NK. So why do you perceive him as such a threat?

As for Percy's NK, I thought that came from Delbert. Am I getting this confused? That kill couldn't have come from MacGyver because we'd have been seeing an extra night kill for awhile now.

Percy can only 'borrow' civ abilities. The only civ with a NK at the time, was either MacG who found Penny or Penny with a found and then dead MacG. Percy's NK failed because he targeted a civ. MacG's NKs don't affect civvies. Meatboy resurrects himself after he's targeted. He didn't that night because there was no need to. He died twice since and BWT confirmed he still has two lives left. So I think MacGyver found Penny. Why haven't we seen any kills from them, there are plenty of possibilities.

I can't see any good explanations for why they wouldn't have gotten at least any *attempted* kills -
even if they tried to kill someone that died anyway each night, there's still be an entry in the log about it - 'tried to kill X, but failed!'

If you look, that same night BWT also survived a kill attempt by the creeper, which apparently *also* didn't take away a life.
I think BWT had the shield that night, unless someone strongly opines that that isn't the case ;-)

But percy couldn't have stolen that kill from Jack, because he used jacks power on a different night (which apparently didn't grant him a kill).
And since percy didn't get a kill from Jack, I wouldn't think he'd get a kill from MacG either.
Jack had already been found, so it couldn't have been a Grady offer.

I'm left with no good explanation for how that kill attempt happened,
which in this game generally suggests that there was an item involved.

A quick extra thought - MacG's kill *might* not be announced if it fails, since it would be publicly confirming that player as a civ.
We have a number of unexplained (and failed) kills in the thread - epig was incinerated N6, and DH survived incineration N7.
If those were MacG's kill attempts, then I wonder if the attempts would get not-announced if he tried to kill someone that died anyway?
It seems unlikely, since several of those nights only one person died.

Did Mongoose list DH as civ in her lists?

I guess you are right FH. I had forgotten it was just yesterday, seems like it was earlier than that. Maybe we ought to give it some time.

MacGyver doesn't look for Penny. Penny looks for MacGyver. If Mongoose had found MacGyver, she would have had back up in the thread and Bea, the only person actively defending her, is not MacGyver. MacGyver is basically a vanilla civvie without Penny finding him.

If he is Fetus, according to BWT he wasn't lynchable yesterday. Do you think BWT was lying?
I guess you are right FH. I had forgotten it was just yesterday, seems like it was earlier than that. Maybe we ought to give it some time.
Maybe she is just eager to lynch a baddie?

FH, you mainly seem to make appearances to remind us that some baddies are apparently more baddie-er than other baddies, although the identity of the less bad baddie is the one we all seem to agree on.

Would you prefer to lynch a baddie who is not as dangerous, or take a chance at this stage of the game guessing?

Becasue I am finding the whole "but if he's Baddie X, he is not as big a threat" etc to be getting old after lynching a civ and non lynches.

Since you are so dead set against lynching Boom, FH, who do you suggest?

"Not dangerous at all" is how I would phrase it. Not with as large a group of known civs voting as we have today.

And I would prefer to guess among the unknowns than spend two days lynching a known cohen, yes.
Because spending those two days lynching cohen twice gets us:
1) a dead cohen who is not voting (slight positive)
2) who doesn't need to be lynched later (unimportant - after the baddies are gone, we can take as long as we like lynching him)
3) and one nightkilled civ.

And then we are in exactly the same position, of educated guessing among possible alternatives.
Net effect of lynching cohen before 'guessing' among the others to find the remaining baddie(s): one extra dead civ.

I understand the reaction - I hate lynching semi-randomly as much as you do.
But it is *the right move*, regardless.
If we are unlucky, and have to lynch all three of them before we catch the bad guy(s), we *still win*.

But it is not just Cohen he is being posited as is it? It could also be another role?

And who do you propose in his place?

I am not against lynching baddies, I am against wasting lynches on unlynchable roles. Yesterday Boomslang unlynchable. So forgive me if I didn't want to waste a day lynching him.

At this point, my big question marks are Hedgeowl, Elohcin, Spacedaisy, and DFaraday in order of most unsure of to unsure of but can see how they could be a civvie.

I was totally shocked that Mongoose was Penny. I didn't see that coming at all. And it sucks.

If Nev is right and Boomslang is Cohen then I don't see why he's such a threat. This is Cohen's role description:
Sander Cohen – [Bioshock] – Controller and head of Fort Frolic, Cohen is an artist gone mad, to say the least. Now that he has finished his masterpiece, the Quadytch, he is content, only angered by those who dare to doubt him. He survives the first two attempts on his life, whether by lynch or by nightkill. Every odd night, he may use his camera to take a picture of any deceased individual, revealing their role to him. Wins by surviving, but only if everyone else alive has never doubted him.
Only 3 people have voted for Boomslang this entire game--Mongoose, bea, and Elohcin. So he's only technically a threat to bea and Elohcin at this point, except not really because he has no night kill. He has to hope we lynch them. So I don't understand why he's such a threat if that is his role.

If he's actually Fetus, then he's not lynchable until BWT succeeds in his nightly search. And as I pointed out to Elohcin, unless BWT was lying yesterday (which would be strange for him to do as a civvie), then Fetus wasn't lynchable yesterday.

Since we've never lynched a member of a mafia team yet this game, it's much harder to draw connections.

Based on Creeper performing the last two kills, it appears the Manipulators are no more (tonight might further cement that theory). That means only Video Game baddies are still alive. We know Creeper is alive. And seems like Fetus probably is too. We have been working with the assumption that Epignosis was Pirahna Plant based on when we last saw the PP written into a lynch post and the timing of his death. If that is true, then SD seems unlikely to have been his teammate because she voted for him in past lynches. She voted for him on Day 5 and Day 6. Day 5 Epi had 6 votes to llama's 10. On Day 6 Epi received 5 votes to Vomps' 7 votes.

However, in looking at that, I noticed that Hedgeowl voted for Epignosis on Day 5 and gave him is 6th vote. But timing-wise, she was the last player to vote in the lynch and llama already had 10 votes. So perhaps she was placing a vote on a teammate since she knew he wouldn't get lynched by that point. So I think Hedgeowl is a likely candidate for Creeper or Fetus (note however, she voted to rezz me, not Kate, which is interesting, that gives me some pause).

Elohcin has been acting strange to me since she received a lot of votes a couple of days ago. I've already said that I think her reaction fits with her being Cohen, but Nev seems so sure Boomslang isn't Fetus and I can't figure out any other way Boomslang could have survived a lynch.

DFaraday is a big question mark for me. But there was something in the Night 9 post and his reaction to my questioning it makes me think he's probably a civvie.

So I guess if I had to suggest someone, I'm leaning towards Hedgeowl.

S~V~S, where are you looking? I know you voted for Bea yesterday. Does the reveal of Mongoose's role change that for you?

FH, I have no idea. My game is very different than yours, I play an intuitive game, and i am very out of my element in this game, to be quite frank. All of this role assignment when there are no info roles disturbs me immensely. Sometimes people have a theory, and they become so convinced of its veracity, that it becomes fact in their mind, but it ISN'T fact. So my gut is telling me to lynch Boomslang, in all honesty.

I think I saw the same thing you did re Faraday. I often tend to misread bea, so i don't want others to vote based on my vapors.

Like i said, at this point, the people I trust are saying things very contrary to my gut, which is generally good, and which I usually trust.

To SVS's point about theories and confirmation bias; it's certainly a valid concept, but I don't think that's the case here for me.
It might have been relevant to my prosecution of Bea earlier though.

FH - I don't know that he's cohen or anything, I just don't think he's fetus.
It's totally possible that he's a civ with a protection item and just behaving oddly now,
but I can't make his behavior since his lynch fit anything but cohen hoping that bea and elohcin somehow die.
Actually, I think he's probably given up, since that's basically a rational reaction in his situation -
elo could realistically die, but I don't think it's likely that bea will go soon.

Since you also asked me, I'll tell you who *I* would suggest: Hedgeowl, Elohcin, or Spacedaisy.
That group of three people almost certainly contains the remaining baddie(s).
I have no solid evidence to suggest that any of them is more likely than the others,
but my inclination is towards hedge, as I described earlier.
FH's point about her vote timing on Epig is also a good one, though nowhere close to what I would call 'evidence'.

Elo would be my secondary choice - some of her posts ring of faked cluelessness to me.
I buy that she's not paying much attention to the game, but it seemed excessive.

And I don't think you're the logical NK target for them SVS, but it certainly seems likely to be one of the people we're expressing trust in.
I think on that front we just have to hope for that 40% failure rate.
Of course they don't know who is holding the shield at the moment, do they? :-)

I have said it before that I would prefer not to role hint given the number of outed civs in this game. There is also one civ in particular, who may have a good guess who I am, and potentially the baddie team as well. As a result I have been carefully waiting to see who starts the ball rolling on a potential lynch for me.

I am as lost as anyone in this game as to where to look next because I felt very good about the case against Mongoose. The baddies have done such a good job getting civs lynched, considering what we think has been really bad luck for them getting killed at night.

I think it Boom is Cohen then we need to be very careful voting for him, but if that seems like the best course of action then I am not totally against it. A wasted lynch gives the baddies another Nk though, so I would also prefer to try and lynch a potential baddie.

I am just going to say that i am extremely frustrated; I find it highly unlikely that our host would allow his roles to be so easily pinned down, and i find it distressing that no one will take it under consideration that there might be things they do not know.

For a variety of reasons, Boom struck me as someone with BTS, not as an Indy.

Much as i do not wish to lose after dying twice, I must say I will smirk if not laugh when the boom is dropped by the host. As i am sure it will be.

I cna understand your feeling here. I am definitely starting to feel like everyone can't be who we think anymore or if they are then maybe recruited etc? There were crazayee bTS stuff in Bioshock. I just can't imagine it's that simple. However, I just have no good reads on people and when I thought I did I was very wrong.

There are 11 of us left and based on what people think maybe only to baddies and Cohen, so 9 civs/zodac. That seems like a lot, but with another kill tonight potentially 8 vs 2,3 or more.

The list:

Roles revealed as civ: Lizzy, SVS, BWT

People likely to be civ: Nev, Bea

Likely Indy or bad: boom

Unknowns: DF, ELo, FH, Hedge, SD

Without any evidence saying there's possible recruitment etc I think we should focus on the last 5 people. People seem to be given DF the botd, so I must have missed something there. I am conflicted on Elo given her frustration at the last lynch. Except for being very helpful I have no other inclinations on FH, but haven reread her at all and as other said I don't think there much either way for Daisy.

The voice grew impatient. "Why won't more of you DIEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

It threw packages at each of the players. "Take these!!!"

"What are they???" asked Elohcin.

"Open them to find out!!!" responded the voice. It laughed uncontrollably.


You have 48 hours to decide whether to open your package or throw it away.

It is still Day 13.
