This isn't true. I never really suspected JJJ until after I died.

It was an act. If you read back through the thread, I never went after JJJ during the Day. Only at Night.

To keep him alive.

I knew what I was doing.

The perception is all that matters though.

I was counting on that.

I wasn't distracted by him. And he shot me, so I ceased being a distraction to him.

Okay. Whether I'm right or wrong leaving you two alive in the thread together worked as we intended for it to. I mean, you goading him got you shot so isn't that kind of proof positive of my point?

You had resolved to leave us both alive, so my plan was purposeless from the beginning.

We didn't ignore the active players. We lynched Jack. We didn't give people a break who did things we thought were suspicious. We lynched lapluie and sprityo. The Dom and Pennywise lynches were pretty much required by the numbers anyway, so crying about those is pointless.

The mafia members were just never the most suspicious people on the board. That's the goal. Well played, well done.

I agree the mafia played a clean game. It was well-executed.

I can't be lynched...

...so I played like that?

Come on man.

How do you play if you're unlynchable?

Why would I tell you that?

Nobody ever believes me, but I'll say it again:

My participation and what I contribute has nothing whatsoever to do with my alignment.

It has everything to do with how much time I have.

People keep saying, "Ah, Epignosis is quieter than usual." It means I'm busy. It means I can't read the thread at work. It means a hundred other things.

"Yes but Night Vale you were very quiet."

I also had a role that had an extra vote and was easily discerned, and so I knew I would be found out eventually (just as I had when I was bad and my vote counted as three in Breaking Bad).

Shooting me was foolish. Let me be lynched if I am to be removed, and if I could not be lynched, shoot me then. That move was a bad one.

People trying to figure me out on the basis of how much I'm posting is also foolish.

Jay said he won't revive the modkill argument but I will.

Let's start modkilling inactives.

Plz.

No. I still don't agree with this at all.

I made contributions. You didn't like them or didn't acknowledge them.

This game would have been much better if Penny, INH and Dom were dead by Day 4.

Of course. You're mafia. Two for one.

I wish people would stop signing up for games they can't play.

I was busy as hell but at least still managed to post and vote.

The participation scores we had for a time were a good way to deal with it. Though I never saw them in practice, I guess.

That was my idea.

No host ever used it.

If someone flakes on one of your games, say "Sorry, you're not signing up for my next one."

If you put a lot of energy in a game and people sign up and don't play, that's bullshit.

That's like breaking a promise.

Or, gee, I don't know, people can play games they sign up for.

Nope. I'm not using a P-Score.

If you flake on one of my games, you're not playing another.

You will when they are made.

Also, you played well.

The only block I got I used on Jack.

It wasn't a strong preference. It was Night 2 and nothing stood out to me.
