I like fun!

And I have no idea how I could possibly be a confirmed Civ. I thought I knew, but not with what you said about the timing.

And I will never vote to lynch dunya, that's ridiculous.

Huh. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe it was just coincidence. If so, I'll go back after the game and frame the post that made me think that.

It was something I posted? I bet I know what it was. Do you presume to know my role then? Yes or no will satisfy me.

I believe Matterhorn must have died.

nijuu... or anyone.

I do NOT believe that there is an active player deliberately not killing as some crazy strategy to win the game by lynch. My main reason for not believing this is that we JUST came out of Chicka-Chicka-1-2-3 Mafia, which dragged on FOREVER. Ain't no one interested in implementing a slow-play strategy that will extend this game any more. Seriously, that had better not be happening. Not only is it a drag, but it a) makes the dead players have to wait longer with no game to play, and b) hurts the energy of The Syndicate as a whole. I already feel like this site has slowed down so much - that extended downtime hit us hard, and we're nowhere close to fully recovered despite some awesome immigration from HCRealms.

I also find it difficult to believe that role powers keep getting in the way. If we're really that "lucky", then I imagine that nijuu is the best choice today, because a replacement player might try to target some invincible role that someone tried earlier, a targeting choice that a whole-game-player would have known to avoid.

But still, inactivity. Gotta be. I should be dead. People have been puking my Civvieness all over the thread so much that I've written and re-written my Last Will and Testament fifteen times. And if they knew my role, which some do, then they'd know I'm as vulnerable as a newborn lamb.

All signs point to nijuu. We'll deal with the active crapster tomorrow if it doesn't pan out. Voting nijuu.

The rest are some combination of inactivity and roles.

THAT one I'll forgive.

It just took reading that day, as I recall. I think we all spelled it out real good.

Those are both awesomely believable scenarios Kyle! I wish they were the case, I'd be proud.

Oh yeah, and after last K2, I'm finally caught up with the rest of you on K2's identity.

Kylemii wrote: ↑Thu Dec 14, 2017 3:26 pm 3 questions. Please answer with only "yes" or "no" for each.

Is there a reason to believe LC is confirmed civ, outside of Speedchuck's claims?

Is that reason strong? Can it be faked?

MY answers would be Yes Yes No... but that's due to my subtle hint. I don't think anyone got it.

So I would then say Yes to the first one because I think someone did some convincing vote analysis on Elohcin's Day 1 vote... which would have been some risky bussing indeed. Pretty strong, could be faked.

Kylemii wrote: ↑Thu Dec 14, 2017 4:20 pm speed friendo, are your answers also "yes yes no" RE: LC

Sort of. Yes to the first two. Almost yes to the third one. It could be faked, but it would take guesswork and a crapton of luck. Like, an unbelievable amount. So much.

So I was right? Like, really right? My concern is that you winning means everyone else loses. I don't know that you'll get there anyway.

This... this I do not get at all. Something outside the thread?

Actually, you make some really good points.

And by points, I of course mean marmots.

Great game, all. Never seen such tireless effort as dunya's. Nice to know I can just bumble along and be wrong about literally everything, and still survive the whole game and become an Unofficial Confirmed Civ. I wish I could bottle the essence of that and spray it on every time I'm Mafia.

I was Mont Blanc. Not that anyone cared enough to acknowledge my claims of its existence, but my hint was:

Yet you keep trying.

I suspect you. And I'm not interested in "symbolic logic." I am interested in how you showed no interest in lynching 3J until it became a "thing" again.

You or LC will get my vote as it stands tomorrow.

Do what you must. There's no way I'm voting for you tomorrow.

And then I took Epi off the poll. Too subtle, I think, but hey, it's a no-infodump game, so I had to keep it legit.

Main thing I would like to see when Marmot morning comes around is a night-by-night recollection of how all those kills failed!

Oh, I was right about one thing - nijuu paid enough attention to deliberately no-kill to incriminate sig. Blooper, you were so marvellous!

dunya wrote: ↑Fri Dec 15, 2017 9:49 am I was Matterhorn. I guess you can understand why sprityo got frustrated some of ya'll were voting for him now. :P

No, I don't understand what you mean.

speedchuck wrote: ↑Fri Dec 15, 2017 9:50 am Oh. My hint was that you guessed my win con LC.

GG town. Glad to have helped I guess. I've been even more frustrated than mafia this game. My win condition was to be taller than all living mountains put together, whether I was alive or dead. This was impossible for a few reasons.

1. I misunderstood and thought I had to live until late game.
2. I misunderstood and thought I had to win with town.
3. People wouldn't effing DIE! Seven missed deaths! No way I could recover from that. And mafia never even attempted to kill the tallest two mountains, as far as I know.

I think I played a good town game until endgame. At that point I tried to get lunched so scum could have an extra nightkill. No point to that either.

I tried too hard to help town, not knowing I could win with scum. Sorry scum. Though it was the neutered kills in this game that stopped you. And me.

I thought so! Night 2, I activated my "Janssen Observatory - Blanc may use this rickety observatory to take a look at Olympus Mons, the Martian mountain."

This is what I got.

Rumors wrote:They say that Olympus Mons is the tallest known mountain in the Solar System. Well, if we're talking planets that's true. But look at this gathering of mountains. Olympus Mons may be the tallest here, but Mars honestly can't compete with Earth in this game. Not right now. 21 km is a mighty impressive distance, but is it tall enough?

It took a while for me to figure out what it meant, but I got it eventually, which allowed speedchuck, in all his Indy glory, to clear me.

No, I don't understand what you mean.

you broke his 4 day no lynch vote streak. We had to go 4 day phases with no votes on us to get NK immunity.

Oh yes, of course... I forgot for a sec there that you replaced him.

dunya, I assume you became invincible at some point?

JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Fri Dec 15, 2017 10:06 am Apparently half the team was invincible. :P

My invincibility stemmed from my terrible Mafia gameplay. I was too awful to kill!

I saved the game!
