I have got through night three. I’ve been more (but not fully) present for day four so I expect that part of the catch up to be easy.

I intend to do some isos after that. I’m not sure there’s any real value in me catching up on day three at this point outside of the context of isos tbh, so I’ll probably just skip it.

Last night when he was freaking both of us out, he said this right before he voted for her. So I think it's a pressure vote? Maybe? Kinda?

Day 4 Vote Poll

Spoiler: show

Posted: **Thu Nov 03, 2022 8:39 pm**

bea had had enough of this strange new world.

She wandered alone along the shores of a place that kind of looked like Gotham City. Street workers and G-Men were begging the bat man to spare them. It was becoming boring.

She stubbed her toe.

In the sand and at her feet, she found a lamp. Upon brushing it off, a mystical being appeared.

He had no feet.

“I am Rhinfrew Flowingrass. I am a genie. With no feet. I cannot dance. To cheer myself up, I grant wishes!”

bea perked up.

“What are your wishes three?”

“I wish that whatever you give me, my boss gets double.”

Rhinfrew Flowingrass stroked his beard (but not his feet, for there were none) and considered the wish.

“That is a strange request. Still, so be it! What is your second wish?”

“I wish for a million dollars!”

Rhinfrew Flowingrass grinned. “Now we are talking! A million dollars for you! But two million to your boss!”

bea looked down and then back up.

Rhinfrew Flowingrass asked, “And your third and final wish?”

bea smiled devilishly. “Beat me half to death.”

Rhinfrew Flowingrass never kicked her, but bea never survived the beating. You could say she puts the "bea" in "beating."

After the genie was done, he turned on his TV and watched "Hollywood Squares."

Bea I'm really surprised.

Posted: **Thu Nov 03, 2022 8:47 pm**

I thought the poll went til 8. I was actually going to change my vote to Bea, but I guess that was the wrong choice anyway. RIP Bea.

I know Scotty is probably the most popular choice to bring back, and I'd be cool with that. I do want FS to have more of a chance though, since she went out so early.

Well, that sucks. Not sure why bea stopped talking, maybe really real life stuff. It’s frustrating (but I’m not frustrated at you bea, frustrated at myself for feeling quite certain)

If there’s a silver lining, vompatti is a vanilla civ (secrets are too expensive in Finland).

Yes

I want all three of these players back in the game. Voted for llama cause, I dunno, he hasn’t been here in a long time.

Posted: **Thu Nov 03, 2022 9:36 pm**

I think it makes far more sense to vote scotty who just left and has the firmest grasp on what's been going on. I'm sure Llama would do a great job too, I just think it's more wise for us to bring back scotty.

Splints' death post was too weird for me. It was like there was a deflection or a redirect or something and I'm just too nervous that there's a chance she was bad.

Posted: **Thu Nov 03, 2022 9:44 pm**

Scotty for me too.

Posted: **Thu Nov 03, 2022 9:45 pm**

Llama would also be a fine choice.

I voted for Scotty last night, but forgot the official tag, [VOTE: Scotty] aubergine.

I would also be OK with llama, I voted Scotty mainly because he's the only one I had thread time with.

Re Splints, I love her

and wish we could have been in the thread together (it's been FOREVER!) but I was not crazy about how eager G Man was to rez her. Maybe he was just making townie noises but it made me nervous all the same.

I'll do the reads list after work, closer to EON. Happy Friday~!

I would vote llama if I knew he had been staying caught up in the game. @thellama73 are you still out there and do you want back in?

Posted: **Fri Nov 04, 2022 10:01 am**

okay, maybe llama cannot tell us if he's been reading. But he can tell us if he's been around. I will stick with my scotty vote for now though as I know he is caught up.

S~V~S wrote: ↑Tue Nov 01, 2022 10:15 am Addendum to the post about why G Mans bad team wouldn’t try to lynch someone else.

This is driving me nuts. I’m trying to figure out why a bad team wouldn’t try to start a third wagon if both Sloon and G were bad, or try harder to pile on Sloonei if only G was bad.

Maybe he was alone, or only had one teammate there? Like others were low posters or had time zone issues?

Because I’ve been playing Mafia a long time and have never seen a baddie with an alternative train do … nothing. I’m spitballing about maybe low posters etc because I just don’t understand Gs behavior there.
Yes, this makes sense. Thinking back on g-man's play, it seems like he was doing just enough to try to get by trying to look civ without rocking the boat too much to gain suspicion. As if he were going it pretty much alone and trying to hold it all together. This doesn't help alleviate my gut suspicion of DH, now SVS. And neither does SVS' lack of voting Gman. I don't know why I can't shake it. Does ANYone else feel the same way?
I don't. She's got her kid gloves on in a sense, when it comes to Bea, but bea is looking more and more bad to me and svs noticed that right away. If she were bad, I believe she'd shy away from accusing bea at all. Also, she can read me like a newspaper, and I've never seen a bad svs defend a civ me as well as she has here.
This is exactly my thought.

In a world where Sloonei is civ, bea voting not only to tie the game with a self-professed poor read on the game at large, but to potentially save GMan is a double red flag.

bea wrote: ↑Mon Oct 31, 2022 7:15 pm I can see early game reasons why one might feel that way and have before. I think DH was there in frustration before he subbed out. But I tend to agree wirh you on that point viv.
This is responding to Viv’s comment that a civ should never be fine getting miselimmed, which is what GMan was doing.
Then, 20 minutes later:
bea wrote: ↑Mon Oct 31, 2022 7:34 pm I am a confused and no lies feel like any vote I make is rushed and illinformed.

Also i missed why svs voted sloon? It looked in the thread like she sused gman.

bea wrote: ↑Mon Oct 31, 2022 7:35 pm Dgoing with the tie. I hope rev knows better than i do.
Nothing in that progression makes sense. Does a civ bea have to make sense? No, but I’d expect a better explanation for doing 2 nakedly hedgey and scummy things.

bea is mafia for these actions alone.
This is pretty damning my only issue with Bea is her lack of voting and curse the following day. I’d think the mafia would be more on top of that? Of course that could also serve as a good strategy for a one day pass BUT she wasn’t being suspected then anyway.

I don’t really recall Bea’s neta so I’m a bit worried this may be another Lorab style vote so if any older players could chime in I’d appreciate it

@Kate @Golden @S~V~S
Why does bea’s lack of voting make you hesitate?

Well it’s a little late now to answer this, but essentially I think the mafia would’ve had one person read the rules and ensured nobody was insanified for at least the first 2 phases. Especially before it was widely agreed that not voting = insaned

Should’ve stuck to my guns on that but the last second vote then lack of content this past phase swayed me

Posted: **Fri Nov 04, 2022 10:09 am**

While both Llama and Scotty are helpful and hopefully civs I think Scotty only missing a phase is a massive boon. Plus the immediate post death clarity one gets can’t be beaten so I’ll be voting for Scotty

Posted: **Fri Nov 04, 2022 11:17 am**

I was secretly hoping y’all would pick Llama to come back, since he’s more on brand for the theme of this game and I thought his space apart from the game would have given him some fresh reads. But I get why y’all brought me back. Thanks.

So, before I launch into what I have observed from the great yonder (It’s cold and dark out there), I’d prefer to hear from players as to who their top suspects are as we start the day. I don’t want to color anyone’s reads.
