Buffy the Vampire Slayer: At the Hellmouth (End Game)

#951

I've seen staked vampires come back, sunlight only causing minor burns, magic spells eventually get broken and garlic is a myth.
Beheading is the best way to make sure whatever creature dies stays dead. It's the Sam and Dean way.

Looks like Drusilla only had 2 nights to try and recruit Spike. Fairly low odds of that having happened, and i think LC's story posts would've included some sort of hint. Good lynch result.

#952

So I googled "how to kill a vampire" and found out two important things. One, that direct sunlight is the easiest way to kill a vampire and it only requires being in the sun for 10 seconds. The second thing is vampires have strong neck muscles making beheading hard to do. So I'm going with the easy way, direct sunlight.

I'm not sure why they have strong necks. Interesting little fact though.

Tranq's been tunneling on Nova all game avoiding the other major lynches and Nutella/Speed was one of the two other wagons the day DF got lynched.

Tranq just single got Drusillyria lynched, isn't that a pretty major lynch?

This is Kyle's three posts about Illy all day 3. Not much here one way or another. @Kylemii who do you think is Illy teammate and why?

oh... haha yeah, I guess I didn't really end up posting much during day 3.

I posted a rainbow earlier, I think the remaining mafia and probably glory are within this group of players.

Yeah but then he jumped over to another wagon it was odd.

#958

Do you think Mac would've bussed so hard as a teammate

#959

I offered one dog picture before... I'm upping the reward. Whoever puts together an ISO link list for the players of this game will receive 4 original cool dog drawings, expertly crafted by yours truly.

Wooden stake. It’s a classic.

#961

Behead those bloodsuckers. It's the only way to be sure.

#962

Wooden stake - as what usually precedes is a pretty fun to watch fight

#963

switching to sunlight actually. were I to encounter a vampire irl I think my best chance would be to run and hide somewhere until dawn

Just a friendly reminder to get your PM's in.

Rat in a Maze

"How about that one?" grinned Angelus, lounging on the edge of a building overlooking the night-cloaked street, looking down at Kylemii, walking alone. The vamps he was with both shrugged and nodded, putting on their twisted vamp-faces, and the three of them were over the edge.

One vamp landed in front of Kylemii, leering and hissing at him. Kyle turned in fright, only to be faced with another vampire that was behind him, grinning a fangy grin. Frantic, he ran across the street and down an alley.

Scrambling, Kyle turned left, then right, and he swore he could hear laughter echoing from all directions. A whooshing sound above, and he looked up to see a shape leaping across the rooftops.

Rounding one final corner, he almost ran right into juliets! "Jules!" he cried. "You have to get out of here, there's-"

"Was that her name? Jules?" Even as the light, perky voice spoke, Kyle realized something was very wrong - she wasn't standing on her own, she was being held up, limp, from behind. "And you actually know her?" Glory peeked out from behind the body she was holding. "That's such a coincidence!"

It was more than Kyle could take, and he spun around to run again, only to come face-to-face with Angelus.

"Playtime's over," Angelus snarled, rushing forward with supernatural speed and sinking his fangs into Kyle's neck for a few seconds, before tossing him back to the other vamps. He eyed Glory, who was watching the scene with detached curiosity. She took out a piece of gum and began chewing it loudly, shooting a carefree grin at Angelus.

Nodding slowly in amusement, Angelus turned back to Kylemii and dove in finding a vein to help his comrades suck Kye dry.

Kylemii has been killed by the Vampires.

juliets has been killed by Glory.

It is now Day 4. You have 24 hours to lynch somebody.

I think Ambray is the most likely to be Illyria's teammate. I am phone based for a few days so I won't be able to really case make but if you iso her I think it's pretty obvious.

#976

I am not immensely surprised at Kyle, but why the heck would someone kill Juliets? She was being too polite? I will reread her as time allows to see how she may have lured an NK.

Before the break are people I feel good about, with Mac in his own group, "He isn't pinging me all that much, but when he does it's Big Freaking Ben". No particular order within groups.

My thoughts on Mac have a lot to do with his exchange with Ambray yesterday. I am not sure if it felt scripted, or what. My thoughts on him being bad are mixed in with my thoughts on Ambray. To me at least, I feel Mac engages with his team in thread rather than avoiding them. I recall him actively defending teammates in other games, and playing with them in thread.

Lapluie continues to be a spectator hiding behind kulture klash. She seems to magically show up when mentioned. I still don't see that she has had any suspects? Illy did a nice job of drawing her out and possibly making people feel guilty about suspecting her.

Ambray I felt pretty good about most of the game, we had a lot of the same thoughts, and I had a role in mind for her at one point, but I was in error, I believe someone else to be in that role now. So not sure what I think of her at this point. Her vote, and the "I would like to see Illy lynched really" thing combined with the discussion she had with Mac was weird.

Nova is not hiding behind Kulture Klash, he seems to be wielding it like a sword. Says it isn't a No U, but it looks like a No U to me. The person who voted for him seems to be his only suspect through the game so far.

LoRab ... I find this hard to explain, and I know she will understand me when I say this, is just giving me the willies. She pops up a few good observations here and there but for the most part seems to be doing the "helpful civvie theme analysis" thing. She and I, when civ, often seem to have a lot of the same thoughts, and I am not getting that feel from her. This is my meta impression of her, but I need to reread her. LoRab is a gut player like me, she is someone I modeled my game after in some ways, and she feels off to me. After Chuck, I am a little shaky on my meta reads, and won't vote solely based on one, but that is where I am at.

I work Saturdays, and today specifically I have to go to my parents after work, so will probably not be here much except on phone until probably about 7 or 8 ish.

#977

Wow quiet thread is quiet.

#978

Yes, I understand your Lorab read, she's been pinging me.

I'm surprised mafia killed kyle? This seems like a strange target.

#979

however, at the same time she seems like a civ read.

#980

I'll be around a little later today. I've been hobbying all morning with friends. :P

**http://www.last.fm/user/nutella23** · #981

I really want to trust Lorab but I'm not sure that I do.

#982

I get that people are wary of me. I’m wary of a bunch of folks too. If you have anything specific I can clarify, let me know. :LoRab: (sorry rabbit, I guess I still twirl sometimes)

I will likely vote novas. I don’t feel good about him after the last lunch and I don’t like how he is doing exactly to tranq what he is suspecting tranq for. There are a couple of people I want to go back and read through. Will do later when on computer not phone.

I would love to know where 'it's pretty obvious' - you did this to me in the other game...

In regards to Nova - half of my suspicion was about him sounding scripted and considering Illy wasn't around yesterday it kind've puts him in the clear in terms of receiving coaching - if we are to assume there is only 1 mafia left.
However, his vote on Illy before switching it still super strange and what makes me doubt my doubt. Though they addressed this, I would like to hear one more time from them their point of view about what happened.

In an ideal situation, I want to go back and read:
sig - because just off the top of my head nothing sticks out from this game from them and I just have a coasting vibe
lap - to further explore what SVS has raised about interaction with Illy
Mac - because why the hell not.

However, I'm going to play the card of "I've just got home from a whooper of a shift and I need to deactivate my brain for a solid 30mins". I will try and have a look in a bit.

#984

Damn this thread is quiet.

So I've done a quick read of sig and I am super pinged by the fella. Dude - have you ever named a single suspect?

I was reading thinking bad bad bad, then suddenly you made this huge post about Illy and I was like oh ok - that completely writes you off as Illy's teammate. But you didn't actually condemn her at all, infact, you just said you "didn't get much out of it" and it made you "shaky abouy LoRab and Kyle".

If you are around - for the first time this game - can you state who you are actually suspicious of?

I am absolutely shattered so I'm going to sleep soon. Will do a post before I go if you don't appear, because I think my vote will be heading your way.

#985

Hm.

I agree with Mac that Ambray has a good chance of coalignment with Illy. The way that Ambray's non-defense of Ambray while the train was picking up, it seemed like she was trying to avoid getting caught up in things either way as much as possible.

Between Tranq and Nova, I'm more inclined to trust Tranq at the moment. Nova hasn't pinged me directly, but I can see the reasons for him to be suspected. Aside from the No U bit. Nova voted first.

I'm going to put a vote on Ambray for now. Best I can do, since I don't mafia much on the weekend.

I'll be checking back in.

#986

That's 4 votes in out of 10

Don't make me @ the entire livelist

#987

Ambray's non-defense of Ambray. What does that even mean?

Man, you guys are so frustrating. You give me nothing to defend myself against and just vote. Exactly the same happened in LOTR mafia to get me lynched.

Going to sleep. Voting Sig. I'm too tired to try and logically put together posts, but I implore you guys to read his ISO. I think there's some very odd stuff in there.

Still pinged by the location stuff from the first poll, LOTS of fishing and pointing fingers in people's directions without actually laying down any names for suspicion and I think that large post re Illy was a very good misdirect.

#988

I think that your play yesterday was attempting to save Illyria by pushing Nova. I called you out on it at the time. What do you want me to come up with other reasons? I am reading sig as a civ and am not seeing your perspectives. Your frustrated response does sound civvie.

Should be a quick catch up, where is everyone?

I feel like it is day one again

Who are your suspects?

#993

I don't think asking someone who they suspect in a game where half the players are dead is unreasonable

I am going to read back as I had said I would this AM and will likely vote and crash out early.

#994

I'm fairy sure I've made many reads throughout the game, they've all been wrong it seems like, but I'm making reads. So I find it odd you say I'm not.

Are you speaking to me? I don't think I said that?

**http://www.last.fm/user/nutella23** · #996

hrrrghhmmm I'm really not feeling super confident in this lynch. I could vote for Ambray or Nova but I am a bit afraid they could be civ and a mislynch would suck after the two deaths last night. I wish (hi Anya) I had better reads on several people

**http://www.last.fm/user/nutella23** · #997

and SVS I think he is responding to Ambray as she accused him of not naming suspects

**http://www.last.fm/user/nutella23** · #998

I reread sig and feel really good about him. He could be indie I guess but I'm pretty confident he's not vamp.

**http://www.last.fm/user/nutella23** · #999

Mmm and the more I look at Ambray's posts from during the Illy lynch the more I think she's bad. First she says something like "I have to reread people's reasons for suspecting her bc confusion" and then "I'd prefer to see her respond" followed by "I'm not opposed to an Illy lynch" and claiming she's not trying to save her with the nova vote. Idk, Illy had a big enough majority by the end of the day that a teammate would probably just hop on the wagon, but the way Ambray expressed how she was totally fine with Illy getting lynched without contributing to it... feels bad man. Suspicious at face value and all that jazz. (Plus I don't remember what meta precedent she may or may not have for bussing and she might be reluctant to?

) Anyway I'm voting for her *crosses fingers*

#1000

Ugh I fell asleep on the couch, I blame figure skaters.

The thing that most got my attention during Illy was the back and forth with Ambray and Mac. So going to vote Ambray.
