In all fairness, Droopy really did sound coached. I know that there is civ BTS in this game, and that Cap'n Beefheart is one of the roles with potential for it. I guess it is possible that Zappa found him already. Although the coached sounding things Droopy was saying were baddie sounding things, lol, things I don't see a civvie partner couching him to say.
I will say that with more experience under his belt, Droopy will be an awesome player (Leech as well), he had me wondering at the end; I hope he keeps playing. Sometimes if you are convinced someone is bad (and I was convinced he was bad, and since there was no question he would be lynched, I voted for the other person i am pretty convinced was bad, Vomp) it can be easy to read everything they say in that light. It is a common mistake, and i don;t really suspect anyone for doing it in this case.
Unless there is an outing or some astonishing development, I intend on voting for Vomp. When I reread Day One (something I would advise doing) I realized i had forgotten how suspicious Vomp really was during Day One. And the fact that there was this incredibly suspicious character that seemed to be everyones second choice for a lynch floating around when Bea needed saving, and that the Residents did not try to lynch him, but Rabbit instead who is not an easy person to lynch, really makes me think he is quite possibly a Resident himself.
Since I'm dead now, I can honestly say....no I wasn't being coached! Like I said before! I'm dead and people still don't trust me! I hope MP puts some kind of zombie uprising into this game so I can come back and eat your brainnnnsssss!!!

I think I can trust DH at this point, so his suspicion of INH is noted. I think we need to lynch Vomp next though. There is way too much there to ignore.
Maybe, but I still think his suspicion of INH (at least initially) was completely baseless. He wanted to avoid punishment by making sure he completes the hosting challenge? Oh no! What a blatant baddie move!
I didn't like that giant-ass post DH made on day one that entirely consisted of grasping at straws, either. But, I think that vompatti's badness is a probably a surer thing.

Yep, correcting your behavior when it gets pointed out to you isn't a baddie attempt at blending

I gotta agree about Droopy, he really seemed to know way too much for a first time player. Maybe he is a mafia savant? A prodigy? I dunno. But my belief that he would flip bad was genuine. If this guy knows this much about the game from game one, he's gonna be a source to be reckoned with in no time.
Hope to see you again in future games, Droop.

Fine, I'll correct it back then.
Orange wut?
This is the kind of game play I simply don't get. It's the lynch me or don't attitude, but don't expect me to talk you out of it or defend myself. Basically, you guys think I'm weird, ok then I'll keep being weird. And I'll keep making one liners that can give you no help in decifering if I am in fact a civ or not.

Please share this theory. Theories are good.
He could have a role that shows up as good when checked/voted out.
Well this is maybe thought provoking. Is there such a role? Let me check. BRB.
The only think i see other than 1 million or so secrets is a role or was it 2 roles, that shapeshift at night? So maybe they pick what/who to shapeshift into and then appear that if lynched? All that is is a really outrageous guess though. I'm going occam's razor and assuming he was a civ.

Chaindeath doesn't have the mental capacity to read through all of these night posts, just donated plasma and his brain is kinda shot. Can someone sum everything up for him?

In sum, a chin scratchy smilie would likely help us all to flush out the baddies.

I've tried considering what the Devin Townsend reference is about in the previous night post. The Truth witnessed rabbit8 doing strange things. Why The Truth? And did anyone have any luck figuring this (presumed) riddle out? Obviously not, I guess.
And Droopy Cash was hell bent on voting for rabbit8- the former turned out to be a civilian.
This may be reaching, but all the tracks on Addicted (the DT album) have exclamation marks at the end. An upside-down exclamation mark is a lowercase "i," and the only one among us with that mark at the end is Vompatti.

Probably talking out of my ass though.
That's actually pretty interesting. Though I don't think that means anything.
While Vomps is most likely a baddie, it's really a given at this point. What I'm having trouble with is the next step; finding out who is bad after Vomps is out of the picture. There are some who I am suspicious of, but they could just as easily be civs.
Just an update, I am now reading in Day 3 so I feel like I've made a lot of progress and I still hope to catch up to everyone tonight. A couple of observations, and I know I haven't read everything so forgive me if i say something that has since been proven "not an issue".
One thing is Vompatti's (did i spell that right?)vote for rabbit with the reason "personal reasons". I have never in all my mafia days seen a post that said "personal reasons" and it immediately made me thing something was up. One thing I thought about was maybe they have bts and had a fight and Vompatti has taken it to the thread but since something similar happened in another Sock game I feel sure MP would have swooped down and the consequences for Vompatti would have been dire - like modkill. Since that didn't happen, it leaves me with a serious ?. I've not explored in the roles the forced vote option but usually people just vote without a reason or make up something plausible but not real strong as a reason - like rabbit's "aggressiveness". So I'm strongly pinged by that vote reason.
Secondly, if you think Kate is a civv then listen to her where SVS is concerned. She can read her like a book, and though I'm glad to finally know those "tells" I will kick Kate (kicks Kate) for telling SVS about them before rabbit's game starting! Now she knows Kate, when I was hoping to get you to tell me between games! I'm serious though folks about kate knowing SVS.
And just a small thing, I always see aggressive rabbit as civv rabbit.
Ok so I'll go back to reading now though I'm approaching crosseyed (great posts MP).
Sorry for such a long post. And hey! Where's my smiley? LT knows which one it is, lol.

FYI I will be adding more smilies tomorrow, sorry for any delay. Couldn't find a ton of time during the past week with work and couldn't today because we celebrated my brother's bday today, but I will have a ton of free time tomorrow.

Wait - lol - not that one hahaha. I didn't know there was one here with the same code as my other one.

The players were particularly upset tonight because of Mr. Droopy Cash's lynching. Flyin' High especially was depressed and decided she needed to cheer herself up with some Arrested Development.
As she commenced her marathon throughout the night, a grey blob hologram was in the process of sneaking into her room. It traveled underneath the floor and stopped right behind her chair. It meticulously began to protrude its 'body' out of the carpet. It gradually finished shapeshifting into a figure that was just below Flyin' High's head so that she couldn't see a shadow on the wall in front of her. It slowly extended its blob arms in an attempt to strangle her, but as soon as it came close to her neck, Flyin' High turned around and punched its arm. "NO TOUCHING!" She yelled. "Get out of here!"
Sensing it had been caught, the grey blob panicked and slinked back into the carpet and went its way. Elsewhere, the infiltrator controlling the hologram was filled with regret. "I've made a huge mistake", the infiltrator uttered.
The Truth, meanwhile, was fast asleep, dreaming about buzzards and dreadful crows, among other things. Herman the Hologram opened his door, saw that he was sleeping, and grinned. It lifted both fists in the air and smashed The Truth to smithereens. Herman the Hologram left, satisfied, but in vain, as all it did was destroy a robot boy designed to look exactly like The Truth. In reality, The Truth was not sleeping in his bed, but in the closet to avoid being killed. He awakened the following day and saw the destruction. "Wow... I knew that was a good idea", he thought. "I truly am a scientist!" he exclaimed.
An extraterrestrial ghost appeared before Vompatti. It raised its hands, but something made it stop. Then it sibilated, "No -- we have further use of you." Then it vanished.
"Yo, Droops, my man, you're looking pretty bummer, bro," The Omnidimensional Creator remarked, staring at Mr. Droopy Cash's dead corpse. Extending his tattooed fingers towards the fallen and mutilated corpse, he started intoning the mantra, "Ooooom. Ooooom. Oooom." He wiggled his fingers, attempting to raise him back to life. Seconds later, Mr. Droopy Cash successfully rose to life, good as new! "Awesome! Welcome back, dude!"
Flyin' High has survived a kill attempt by Ziltoid the Omniscient's Army.
The Truth has survived a kill attempt by Herman the Planet Smasher.
Mr. Droopy Cash has been resurrected by The Omnidimensional Creator!

"Yes!" the host was happy with the results of the ultimate event. "It worked wonderfully!" He reflected. "...But I grow tired of this dining area. Yuck." He punched through Captain Spectacular's ship again.
"Yes, hello everyone, it is your friendly Sockian host." "Hello!" responded Vompatti, interrupting the host.
"Ah, yes, hello. Anyway... Why don't you move to the game room? I'll even make it worth your while... I will host a fun poker game! How fun does that sound?" The host's fist retreated and the structure of the ship was once again returned to normal.
A challenge has been issued by your host!
Any player interested in entering the host's poker tournament must PM your Sockian host by 1:30PM EST Sunday!
ADDENDUM: Entry to the poker tournament is now OPEN instead of CLOSED. Post in the poker thread at any time to join!
The poker tournament window will last from around 2:00PM EST until 10:00PM EST Sunday. Be aware that if you do not feel you have adequate time to participate during that time frame to not enter the tournament.
Mr. Droopy Cash wrote:Also, in regards to the poker tournament...what would be considered adequate time?
Just so long as you have some time to spend at the computer at some point throughout that window, preferably while at least some others (or at least one other) do as well, then that's adequate enough.
Naturally, the more time you have, the more hands you may be able to participate in. And if you sign up with only a small, restricted window of available time, you may not get to play if other people don't happen to be around.
And all I have to say about it now being Day 4 is one word... relief. That ultimate event might have even been too ultimate for your host. I'm so glad I can read posts without having to word count each of them, pinpoint theories, and track that information!

And I realize my answer to your question wasn't really that helpful, Droopy, lol. I would say it's not going to be a huge time commitment at all, but it'll take longer than like 10 minutes at a minimum. It's hard to put a number of minutes/time on it because it's all conceptual at this point based on the number of participants, hands, and how it all works in reality. I've never held a poker tournament inside a mafia game before, nor have I ever seen one.
Perhaps tomorrow morning EST when I have the list of all my participants we (myself and the participants) can figure out good crossover time frames for all of us, if that window is too large or not specific enough.

Definitely. I wonder if we ask her if she has the phone number for "annoying 401k guy" if she will know who we mean, LOL.
