The Flash: Battle for the Gem Cities (Day 12)

[DharmaHelper]

So so sorry. Not use to mafia been so long since I played. I'm here now. Won't miss anything else

Hi reywaS. Convince me why I shouldn't lynch you without using the letter "e", please.

You shouldn't lynch this guy cuz you don't got anything to cast a voto on.

I would have gone with "Don't."

[Black Rock]

Epig's reads on Elohcin are often accurate. Notoriously accurate. Almost like he's... superintelligent.

Monkey?

Nah, Epig is the host of Biblical Mafia. Obviously he doesn't believe in superintelligent monkeys, and therefore can't be one.

Hmmmm... that's something to think about.

[blindfaeth]

Maybe I'll change my avatar to a llama.

How about a pony with a marmot tattoo?

I love it! But it has to be no larger than 150 pixels to use

[Turnip Head]

I don't think I've ever seen Epi call Elo out this early in the game. It has my attention. She's said two words so far. Which word did you find more suspicious, Epi?

I think he was looking for attention since Llama was hogging it.

There is plenty of attention for everyone to share!

ATTENTION ALL LLAMAS!
































Here's some more attention.

Sorry not more posting from me today. Seei worked this morning, ran errands this afternoon and then dove fully into the new book my sister sent me for my birthday which I am enjoying immensely. Just put it down because I was nodding off. Now I am going to sleep. Seeing as how we have not got into Day 1yet, I don't think this all matters much, but I wanted to at least communicate it and keep up with my rediscovered play style of posting like MP, only less of the tl;dr posts...

[Bullzeye]

Which jokes are you referring to?

Monkey Boys jokes? Epi searching for a sidekick? Or other?

A bit of both really. I always see day 0 as a doss, good for a laugh but not much else. I know I'm far from alone in that opinion. So it surprises me that so much seems to be being made out of so little.

No one is making it a big thing. Epignosis hasn't even really responded to it. I am not aggressively pursuing him. (Likely because there isn't a vote this period, but still :P ) It's not possible you are both bad two games in a row is it?

Sorry BF, did I touch a nerve there? Awfully defensive for someone who isn't being directly called out.

You're awfully dismissive of an idea that you shouldn't be opposed to. Whether it's what episode did or not, you can't deny that the baddies will be trying to signal to eachother.

I'm not being dismissive. All I'm saying is that in my opinion people seem to be taking silly day-0 jokes as if they were serious comments with no intended humour. I'm not saying anyone is suspicious for doing it or that it's being done maliciously. I didn't even mention you by name yet you seem to be quite stung by my comment.

Isn't that what civilians do too?

[Epignosis]

I don't think I've ever seen Epi call Elo out this early in the game. It has my attention. She's said two words so far. Which word did you find more suspicious, Epi?

All the ones she didn't say.

She strikes me as disinterested. She is never disinterested if she has BTSC. That means she isn't Captain Cold or Heat Wave. The possibility of BTSC would also keep her interested, so she isn't Golden Glider or Blacksmith. That means if she is an old rogue, she has to be Mirror Master, Weather Wizard, or The Trickster.

And if any of you are those roles, then it reduces her chances of being an old rogue even further for you.

[Marmot]

So if we want to lynch Epignosis, do we have to kidnap Turnip Head first?

Help!

You're right. Gosh, that 85% rate of success really does make me look awful.

[DharmaHelper]

After game after game of people depending on me to read Eloh for them, I decided I would quit doing it. It got to the point that my alignment was predicated on Eloh's, and that if I was ever wrong about her, I must be bad. Earlier on I had no qualms about it, but the novelty has worn off, and as I said, I think Elohcin is a better player now. By now, if she has a team made up of certain people, they might devise a way to exploit my read of her. It doesn't mean I won't notice certain things, but, as I said, I'm retiring as the Elohcin expert because the pressure is annoying, prone to abuse, and at times, unfair. I figured that if I stopped doing it, people would quit asking me about it.

And...so that means I'm never going to try to get her lynched ever?

You wouldn't happen to have a vested interest in keeping someone who probably isn't an old rogue around, would you?

I don't know why you'd expect otherwise... I was the originator of the theory, so you don't have to specifically call out my name to get my attention.

I have to say i agree with bf here. His thoughts about baddies trying to signal eachother has merit ansmd shouldnt be instantly dissmissed.

Besides this, and epi weird call of attention, and llama being llama, i dont think that much has been going on

[Sophie]

Sorry for typos im on phone

[Roxy]

This is why I enjoy your company, you keep a cool open mind and perspective. Can you further explain why you don't find bullz dismissive?

I do not think Bullz was singling any one point out and seemed to be disagreeing in general (about people finding suspicions Day 0) but not dismissing yours or anyone else's for that matter. Now I think he is just having a little fun with you tbh.

Ooopps that quote in my post is blindfaeths

[Mister Rearranger]

Chapter 1: The Case Is Open

It just so happened that one of the recipients of the mystery man’s visit was Hartley Rathaway, better known as the Pied Piper. Unbeknownst to his former partners in crime, The Rogues, Hartley had cleaned up his act in the past few years, after beginning a relationship with Detective David Singh. Hartley had found new respect for his colleague Barry Allen for keeping his romantic involvement a secret and vouching for him at the Department despite his shady background.

The note left for him by the stranger asked him to perform a very simple task. He was to choose 1 letter out of 5. No following rules were included, no chance to see his visitor again and reveal his answer. How strange…

Piper immediately showed the letter to Singh and Barry. The three men were baffled, debating the best course of action. Was this stranger a threat? Or was he simply another resident of the twin cities who was ever so slightly off his rocker? Perhaps it was just a prank of some kind? Hartley chuckled and said he picked a letter anyways, hoping their mysterious visitor would return and he’d win a prize.

The group was interrupted when a commotion broke out in the holding cells. Barry rushed down to see the jailbirds collectively mashing their hands to the walls of their cells, drawing out symbols…in what appeared to be their own blood. Hurriedly, Detective Singh recovered the keys to the cells and began calming the prisoners down. Barry had seen a lot in his time as The Flash, having met many a dangerous criminal who could also read minds, both on his own and as a part of the Justice League, so he recognized the symptoms immediately. Hell, Hartley himself once made a horde of rats perform a crude rendition of a flash mob at the Flash Museum celebrity banquet, just to send a message. But a Rogue would never kill helpless people, and this was on a whole different scale. The intent was not only malicious, but specific. The perpetrator was leaving a message for everyone in the city, Hartley included.

In each of the 5 holding cells throughout the Central City precinct (as well as 20 of the maximum security cells at Iron Heights on the other side of the river, Barry would later discover), lines were drawn across the walls, resembling a word puzzle. A name was scrawled above each one. Each bloody code had one thing in common with the others. The letter “S” appeared throughout.

Barry was shocked to see one of the names was his own! He took note that there were no word puzzles to be solved under his name, just a very chilling message. It called him out on being The Flash, and revealed how he’d been working on the side to catch Bart’s killer, without the Department’s permission. Barry wiped the message away at incredible speed, while nobody was looking.

Pied Piper left in a hurry when he saw the content of the messages. He had to warn the Rogues. Even if he worked on the other side of the law now, he still considered the group his friends and when he saw secrets about them being spilled in blood, he had to act fast.

Who was behind this dishonorable act? Was it one of his own? Was it the man who visited him last night? Questions shot in and out of the costumed vigilante’s head, ringing like bells. Hartley was sure of one thing. A man like Captain Cold won’t ask questions before shooting if he finds out somebody is trying to cause trouble in his town.

Who’s bleeding the citizens of Central City dry?
You have 48 hours to vote!

Not really. I'd like to hear her response to Epi, but I'm far from convinced.

As has already been declared, votes are changeable this game.

[Marmot]

TH do you believe epi about elo?

I don't. Elohcin was equally as inactive in LMS yesterday, though she did offer an explanation over there, and not here.

What don't you believe exactly?

I don't believe you want to lynch her because she is disinterested. You didn't have a single word to say about her until after I pointed out that she hadn't checked in, and after she commented on her Day 0 vote choice. You immediately said, "I want to lynch Elohcin", but then waited to offer any sort of explanation. I see this as a method to distract from your previous advertisement for a sidekick since that comment drew some heat. Do you still want to lynch Elohcin?

So you think me suspecting Elohcin of not being an old rogue based on reasons beyond her being busy (she is always busy) and not immediately offering those reasons is an attempt to distract people from something I kept doing on Day 0?

Interesting.

Do you have a vested interest in keeping someone alive who probably isn't an old rogue?

[Roxy]

Epi - I do not believe that on Day 0 with one word and one letter you can say with any degree of certainty that Elo is not an Old Rogue -wife or no.
MM is right you are distracting from yourself with Elo and shame on you !

[S~V~S]

I would like to submit my application to become Epi's sidekick!

Does this still interest you, TH? Just curious.

Linki #,Epi, I think your math is vague enough to exclude her, and almost everyone, from most groups.

Epi - I do not believe that on Day 0 with one word and one letter you can say with any degree of certainty that Elo is not an Old Rogue -wife or no.

Ok, starting locations should be out. If you did not get one, please PM me. While I go work on fixing the fancy map in a better version of Photoshop and on a better PC, I've sent everyone the preliminary map to reference. It's the exact same as the map I'll be posting, the only thing that's changed is the locations/texture will look a little better and the text for each will be more legible.

Here's the prelim for now. I'll link to it in the OP as well.
