Monopoly Mafia [GAME OVER]

[FZ.]

Epig,

Why did you bid so much? Where were you expecting to get more money from for the other stuff?

I'm eccentric.

I plan to get rich by people landing on my property.

I have a theory.

The more money he will bet on a power, the more likely another player will check him tonight in the hope that they can partner up with the equal color, being that it would be convenient to have that power on your team. Meaning that the money might return back to him in the future. It might be a gamble, but that'll be the name of the game.

I hadn't thought of that.

Yeah, that was a good theory he came up with

How is what you did going to help you to get people to land on your property? I'm sorry if I'm missing something. I'm too tired

[Epignosis]

It probably won't. You wanted to know how I would get money- I plan to get money the very way anyone in Monopoly would get money. Luck.

[keys56000000000]

Must have missed the post where Degobunny explained why he/she voted for me. Gonna be one of those sorts of games, eh? Sorry you guys didn't like my union idea. I feel like an idiot for even believing for a second that it would be well-received here.

Voting SVS, because why not. Since most people intend on abandoning the civs ASAP, I don't see the need to anyone with a reason. Not that I have one.

Yep, your answers definitely make me want to take my vote off...or not. I don't like lynching civs, so I'm trying to get to the bottom of your actions. What was the point in your bid? Did you just not think it through and went with it at that moment? Would you do it again now?

[juliets]

So keys you are voting SVS because of what again? Did you randomize her?

If you have the right property, the people will come to you. Give the people what they want, and great riches will accrue to you.

[Long Con]

I was thinking that Epig bid big in a Tom Sawyer-fence-whitewash scenario, where he tries to makes others think he's on to something and outbid him, in an attempt to drain the bank account of another player. I like FZ's idea better though, that's a good reason to bid big!

[Marmot]

Well, maybe I really can't change my vote...

[Long Con]

@boo:

1. Does the winner of the Chance card bid get to know what is on the Chance card before giving/using it?

2. Are we just going ahead with unchangeable votes for now?

[Marmot]

$80 for the extra die

[Epignosis]

It probably won't. You wanted to know how I would get money- I plan to get money the very way anyone in Monopoly would get money. Luck.

I like Chance. And yep- I would do it again. I live by the motto of the late George Carlin: "Take a fuckin' chance!" Now I plan to take chance literally.

In addition, I drink.

No, it's random.

Just state in thread if you want to change, just don't do it a ton so it's still easy to track.

[Long Con]

Heading into work, last chance to vote. going Epig because his money flashing may indicate that he is up money like a utility. Also, I want to vote someone with votes because I have a vote, self interest. If I'm done before 10 I may change but not likely possible.

[Marmot]

I will vote Long Con. I do not plan to win the competition with Epi on Day 1.

Linki: I am up money from landing on chance and advancing to Go. Booya.

Called it.

Metalmarsh - why did you vote Long Con? I went back and looked at your latest posts and didn't see anything about him. Maybe I overlooked something.

[Turnip Head]

Can we still bid on the dice roll? I'll bid the current + 25 on that.

What do you get out of giving someone another dice roll?

I would use it for myself to get to Go faster and get more cash.

Why did you single out my bid to ask a question like this?

[thellama73]

Metalmarsh - why did you vote Long Con?

He didn't.

[Turnip Head]

Looking at the board I'm also in a bad spot... I've got a railroad, a utility, and a Go To Jail coming up in my next 12 moves. Maybe I need to bid more on that third die...

[Turnip Head]

I really don't think Epi is bad. I also don't think he'd be so ostentatious with someone else's money. He looks like he's working on his own to me. Don't understand the votes for him but I guess on Day 1 you gotta go with something.

[juliets]

Metalmarsh - why did you vote Long Con?

He didn't.

Yes, he did. Scroll up a few posts and you'll see it in the thread.

[juliets]

EBWOP: llama, boo said earlier if you want to change your vote do it in the thread.

[Turnip Head]

Keys cmon bro don't be such a drama queen

linki: What's the vote tally at then? Anybody have it?

[Made]

ok, I don't see a way for civvies to win this game, as civvie anyways. At all. Basically, who ever can get their partners together as a group first, without revealing they are a group, seems to have the best chance at winning.

A set that has (at any point) all living players together will cease to be considered a civvie set, and become a LMSing group.

Does this mean that if a person of my set dies, but i have BTSC with all other 3 member, would i be considered part of a LMS group?

Are their any incentives to work together?

[Made]

Wrong there*

How many potential BTSCers do you have?

[birdwithteeth11]

Alright. So after a quick catch-up, I have to go ahead and vote. I will be gone until the lynch ends and preoccupied until then as well. I'm going with Boogs for now, because I feel like his vote for Epig came off as bandwagon-y to me. I know there's not much to go on on Day 1, but it's the only hunch I've gotten so far.

Votes Boogs

[juliets]

I'm not voting for either Epi or Long Con today. Instead, I'm going to randomize among the people who did not give a reason for their vote. I will give it a little more time (probably a couple of hours) and then vote. If in the meantime something better comes up I will go with it.

[Turnip Head]

Made's post looks like a bona fide slip up to me.

[Bass_the_Clever]

I have to agree with this .

Lol! Bandwagon defines as the 2nd voter and explaining why i find him suspicious on a Day 1? You're so on point.

[Bass_the_Clever]

I am voting made I think he slipped and thats all I really have to go on .

[keys56000000000]

My bad, TH. Just getting a bit of deja vu from the last game, y'know? Same shit different day.

I agree that Made's post looks like it could be a slip. Maybe he just assumed that everybody else has 4 to a set, too, but then you would expect everyone in the western world to know that it's 3 or sometimes 2 per set.

One point about Epignosis: He made that $500 bid really early in the game, and at that stage I wasn't aware that we die when we run out of money, so perhaps neither was he. And you can get some good stuff from chance, so I can understand his haste to acquire it, but I'm not sure any of that will be worth $500.

[keys56000000000]

Host: change my vote to Made plx!

[juliets]

Made's post looks like a bona fide slip up to me.

I agree, though he's somehow talking about 5 on a team, 1 dies, he and his 3 teammates are left. Weird. I want to hear what Made has to say though before I vote for him for this. I've learned the hard way I want to see a response before voting.

[Turnip Head]

You're right juliets his scenario does add up to 5. Maybe Made has just never played Monopoly.

[Turnip Head]

I don't plan on voting until approximately 10 minutes before the lynch. I'm leaning Made but would like to see his reply.

[Black Rock]

Made's post looks like a bona fide slip up to me.

That's what I'm thinking.

[Mongoose]

The game will be mighty atypical (and doubly fun!) without the utilization of that crucial character.

Voting llama because: annoying special character use; weird pre-defense of Epignosis (with whom he freakwently ties up with), and also because I can.

[Mongoose]

"Freakwently"???

My god, I am so fried.

[zeek]

Wow, I just went back and read everything I missed when I should have just read the last half page.

Made even corrected his post, just not the bit that looked like a slip. Though, the math is wrong even if it is a slip.

Voting Made.

Only other thing to analyse for potential votee would be the "searching" conservation. It's a can of worms. I'll just go with Made.

Sorry, I don't know how you keep getting lynched D1.

[Marmot]

Why don't we bold any bid we make to make it clear?

$100 on the extra die if the bid from TH earlier will count (for 60 + 25, being unbolded and not an exact amount).

Linki: Why don't you like the the little game Mongoose? You are ruining the fun where other people are even bidding on Epi, llama, and me.

[zeek]

Has MP checked in yet? I know he's very busy at the moment, just realised I haven't seen him post in a while.

In regard it searching for your set: I think its up to each person to decide now. There have been a lot of good points on either side and I suppose its down to interpretation now. Which path will give each individual the greatest chance to win? Thats the basic crux of capitalism after all :P

What do you think about anyone that would claim to not look for a partner at night? I don't think a baddie would be that apparent, but I am not inclined to believe that player.

Depends who it was I suppose. I genuinely don't think keys will search but I can't say that for many people.

It's just kinda hard to read. Why stop there? Why not substitute the cent sign for C? or the Euro for E? The British pound sign for L? The possibilities are endless.

Next thing you know, the lack the of the nineteenth letter will be under attack.

[Boogs]

$110 on the dice

[Black Rock]

If I don't vote now I'm going to forget, I'm totally engrossed in other things right now. I'm voting Made, I think it was a slip.

[Boogs]

Not sure about the Made thing, however I still feel Epignosis giving like half of his starting money on the auction so easily means he isn't worried about money because he has teammates or has some money from people landing on him that was a lot already like Electric Company. Just my opinion but feel like he should go.

[sabie12]

I'm so confused by this game. Voting epi he was so quick to go after elo and he's not too concerned about money.

[boo]

$110 on the dice

You already had the highest current bid at $95. Someone else had made one after that, but they were either below that amount or didn't increase it by $10.
