Ah, so Nevin when I look at it that way it does argue against voting for Vomps.

Ace also led the lynch against me for some not very satisfactory reasons.

#2603

Ok, enough of this indecision. Given Nev's point and Lizzy's point, and given that Aces hasn't shown up at all, which really bothers me, I'm going to vote for Aces.

#2604

Me too. He was a bit pingy-wingy a few days back and I never followed up on it.

Until today.

Yea - That's a fair point too.

I am going to throw my to Vomps. He low posting, but not missing votes makes me think he is invested in this game more than he is letting on possibly. Plus as several noted Zodac seems to be picking the winner anyway.

Although I did find it interesting how FH, SVS, and Lizzy were picked before that secret was revealed. It means we wouldn't have questioned it too much with 1 change but what if he had picked 3 different people?

I agree about Vomp. In WWE he had a major civvie role, and sent in his PMs faithfully, but hardly posted in-thread, and even less on-topic posting.

#2609

While i can see the point of voting for a Kate rezzer, I can also see that perhaps all of her teammates would not take that chance, plus there is another bad team~ I think Gleam is trying, Aces has not said much, which is par for the course, but he also has not missed votes. I did consider Vomps, I am not a fan of drivebys.

After reading, though, i am leaning most towards BDH. He missed 2 day votes, he has a lot of posts, but there is alot of fluff in those posts, more fluff than content. I read him this AM, and the one game related point i recall him making is proposing rezzing Dom/Bob and then lynching him right away. What?

So I am voting BDH.

#2610

If you are wrong about him, K4J, will you add a line to your sig saying so (like my line about rezzing the SK doh~!)?

WRONG GAME

#2612

Also Bye Bullz~

Welcome Timmer

#2613

I'm in between mostly Aces and Vomps. I'm not buying the flimsy excuses for gleam at all. Going to go with Aces for now. Him leading the lynch against Lizzy is another interesting fact too.

#2614

I agree with the points being made re: Vomps and Aces and I voted Aces.

The BDH thing is weird. But what I can't decide is why a mafia would propose such a ridiculous plan. But then again, not sure why a civvie would either. Definitely worth keeping an eye on.

Not sure if anyone put this together yet, but there you go, Kate voters.

#2616

Do you think every baddie is a Kate voter? The reasons i considered Vomps had nothing to do with his Kate vote, and everything to do with him voting you and not posting.

I think using just one criteria for voting is what leads to tunnelvision (and if anyone knows TV, it's me~)

#2617

It's not terribly clear but I bolded bwt and Vomp's votes.

I wanted to point out that usually when someone says "I'm in between X and Y but going with Y," I tend to think they might be bringing up X just to distance themselves.

#2618

OH, OK, yeah the bold can be hard to see. I just usually size it up. Gotcha

#2619

I'm a little torn here. I get that it makes practical sense to use this poll as a bonus lynch, and part of me is inclined to do so and vote Vomps or BDH. I don't completely trust any of them, for various reasons, but two of them have been hinting pretty darn strongly that they're civ. I'm not sure whether that should give me pause or make me think they're badder, since they can't point out civ things they've done. SD also pinged me at some point, but I'd have to read back to see why.

Another part of me wants to see Gleam go, because he's been by far the least helpful, and if he won as a baddie after doing nothing all game I'd be furious with myself. I do get the point (I think Lizzy was making it?) that not trying to get baddies at every turn is un-civ-friendly, though.

#2620

Looking at the poll, though, a LOT of people I feel very iffy about voted Gleam, and some people I feel fairly good about went for Aces. BWT being a notable exception. So I'll vote Aces.

I found his response to that equally troubling. Maybe not the content as much as the tone though.

#2622

I kinda thought Bobs minion might propose such a ridiculous plan. Regardless, I see NO reason why a civ would propose it. Do you?

#2623

Your votes DON'T MATTER.

Go watch TV or something.

#2624

Hey everyone, just an FYI, I'm tied up doing stuff for my class. I'll get to compiling the night actions shortly and will then write the post. I promise it will be up tonight; it just will be delayed. Sorry for the inconvenience!

And to avoid confusion, NO, I am not extending any deadline!

No, they don't. But discussing them does matter

#2626

Shit, I knew I should have voted before going out for the evening. For the record, I would have voted Vomps. I throw myself on the mercy of the almighty Sock.

I'm an outside-the-box thinker and an unorthadox mafia player. I don't care if I win or lose...this is supposed to be a game, and thereby FUN in nature, so I do everything I can to keep things in that parameter (at least for myself). I participate when I can and lend to the conversation when I feel I have something valuable to contribute. Otherwise, why muddle the conversation with repeated theories and useless rhetoric.

As for my rejected theory during the Rez cycle, mafia is like a game of chess. Sometimes the BEST thing you can do is sacrifice a strong piece to gain the overall advantage. I was exploring an idea to see if it had possibilities. Turns out nobody saw any. So be it. But IF we had been able to hash out an idea that would either lead to some major baddie eliminations or even possibly a civvie win, would I still be lambasted over it? Probably not. Einstein once said, "If at first, the idea is not absurd, then there is no hope for it." And we've all heard the addage that the only BAD idea is the one that never gets shared.

linki @ Boomslang: take it from me, he HAS no mercy for missing votes. C ya on the next unchampion poll.

#2629

I don't care if i win either, but i do care if my side wins. And I am not sure how rezzing the recruiter can help the civs in or out of any box.

#2630

Fine. You and everyone else will probably be up my ass over this for the remainder of the game. I don't care. I'm gonna just keep chug-chug-chugging along until it's over or I'm dead. At the point, I'm kinda hoping for the latter.

No~ but in night polls, i will vote for someone who pings me more so than someone who does not just becasue they low post. Day polls, there are things that ping me more. But of this group, you pinged me the most.

Linki~ Yeah, right? lol

"Over reaction Drama Alert"

i said that in day polls there were things i was more concerned about. of the group in this night poll, you pinged me the most.

#2636

I really don't care anymore. Posting today was a horrible idea on my part. My apologies to all. I'm gonna go do something that REALLY matters.

#2637

I didn't say anything that terrible

#2638

Night 5: Case Closed

juliets was walking down Ripper Street; she had enough of Sherlock and the pressure of finding the murderer. She definitely needed some fresh air. Unfortunately, in the short time she was walking the street, she was ambushed by a shady looking man dressed in a trench coat and deer stalker. He holds out a very large knife, a butcher's cleaver, and says nothing. juliets becomes frozen in horror. He quickly grabs a hold of her, slices her up with his knife, and leaves her corpse on the street, with a smile of blood cut into her face.

"Balance must be maintained..." muttered Zodac. This time he agreed with the general consensus: AceofSpaces.

"Mr. Spaces..." Sherlock disappointingly addressed the poor champion. "You are the weakest link... Goodbye!"

AceofSpaces was then shot in the face with a revolver.

"Somehow... that was not quite as satisfying as I had hoped..." Sherlock commented. He looked more closely. He then became visibly disgusted. "For god sakes... idiots! Get out!"

The white light began to flash again. An evil killer used this opportunity to approach his victim. He looked and saw that AceofSpaces was already dead. "Fuck!" he cursed.

AceofSpaces has been killed by Zodac. He was Mr. Ibis.
AceofSpaces was already dead when the Manipulators tried to kill him!

To be continued...

#2639

Night 5: Welcome to Hell

A foreign landscape emerged from the white space. It was mostly red, and then revealed itself more clearly to the players as they faded back into full consciousness.

"...Are we in hell?" inquired Nevinera. BigDamnHero looked around. He vaguely recognized this from a brief, but painful experience he had with Super Meat Boy before. "Yes, we are in HELL! Nothing could ever be more hell than this!!!"

Devin the Omniscient instead recalled memories of nostalgia. "Hey, Russ, remember when we kicked some major civvie ass in the Meat Boy game?? Larries Lament for the WIN!!!!"

Russtifinko smiled, "Yeah, good times!"

Hedgeowl stared at them, blankly.

It is now Day 6. You have 48 hours to find a villain.

#2640

Well, that certainly sucks.

That was an awesome role.

#2641

It would be best for me and everyone else if I walk away for a few days and since votes don't matter, I'm voting myself and leave things in Zodak's hands. Hopefully he can choose better than he did last night. Good luck all.

#2642

No worries~ we all have bad days

So now we know that being a Kate voter is not the harbinger of a baddie.

There could still be a baddie within that group, all this proves is it wasn't Ace.

#2644

Sure, but it also means that that is not the only way to find a baddie.

He voted Hedgeowl.

#2646

RIP Ace. Hopefully we didn't let a baddie get away in your place. RIPIYWG, juliets, as well.

The recruit didn't kill last night, lending more credence to my theory that one of BWT, Epi, and bea is them. So I'll be looking mostly at Epi and BWT today.

S~V~S, I don't think anyone ever said Kate voters were the only possible baddies. Especially considering there are 2 baddie teams and an assortment of SKs.

And yes, I do remember that, Devin! So cool.

Linki: What, Epi?

#2647

You can read.

#2648

Where does it say Juliet's died?
