Return to “[ENDGAME] Bullets Over Broadway Mafia”
I'll have you know that my skill level is not affected by diminished illumination.Scotty wrote:Not suspecting you Epi, because your reads on GMan and BR make it hard to put you on a mafia team. But I can't be behind you on stuff when it appears that you're playing darts in the dark.
Little posts like this is one reason. It's playful distancing. These two have NOT interacted the entire game. Not one time. Golden has 469 posts. This is is the only one where he directly interacts with nijuu.Golden wrote:An admission!nijuukyugou wrote:I have a killer headache
But here's the big one for me:Golden wrote:No, but MM is wrong about jekyll knowingly working with the silencer. The vote for Cobalt was entirely my own. I'm sorry to see he was civ, but from my perspective I needed to get him out of the way because I would have kept coming back to him over and over.Scotty wrote:Golden, did you learn anything from the past few days?
On the other hand, I would like to know epi's view on whether or not jekyll could be bubbles or not.
I now need a new list of suspects, so I need to pledge to be here more than I've managed to be in the last week. For what it's worth, so far:
I like Ninja's defence.
I need to take a close look into bass's interactions with team webber. I think that case has a lot of merit.
I want to know why epi was targetting devin, even though I suspect I already may know the answer. As far as it 'helping his win condition', I just took that of an epi way of saying 'because I think he is mafia', not that epi has some special kind of win condition.

One of the bad ones.Golden wrote:Which team am I on with ninja, epi?
I am. His culture is one of blatant hints. Such as these:Golden wrote:I'm not sure that scotty was the singer. He just theorised the singer was dead.
AndScotty wrote:Oh never, don't go! We need your input!
If you do, it would be a shame for sure
In other news, it would appear the singer may have been killed or just forgot to submit their thoughts last night.
Obvious.Scotty wrote:Oh, and I know Webber kills tonight, but please don't kill me. I'll sing a little ditty if you let me live. kthnx

I also think we have really quite a bit of a problem in that we are running out of active players.

In light of that, I think I would interpret your posts differently (I.e. As genuine frustration and irritation, rather than manufactured ire). I'm going to move my vote to ninja for now, while I reconsider my position on you.
nijuukyugou wrote:^^ This. I felt good about Epi 1.0 (which I suppose I should never feel), but have been feeling less so with 2.0, especially since he stopped gunning for LC so hard and didn't even vote him. Although he's never quite quiet, he's certainly quieter in his second incarnation, quieter than I'm used to (but then again, I'm also used to his hosting, so).FZ. wrote: Epig is a mystery. I don't think anyone can deny he's posting less than he did on day 1. He wanted LC out, but what I want to check later is, did he continue going after him strongly when he came back. If it was as strong, I think he can't be from his team, though it's possible, but if he subtly backed off without making it too obvious, it's possible. I think I recall he voted for G-man both days, and when I asked him what he would do, he said he doesn't want a tie. That made me feel better about him, because I think I know what his role was before. But the point is he didn't vote for LC but G-man. As for the other team, his exchange with G-man seems genuine, so I doubt he's on that team. Maybe he's an independent who doesn't care as much who wins and is laying low to not get NK again.

Scotty wrote:GMan, I don't know if you are serious. Honestly, I would vote no. Just because you know too much info. I'm already slightly uncomfortable with Epi 2.0 slithering around.
You'd be surprised.DFaraday wrote:I was going to vote teach, but one must be able to think before teaching.

I already know why I plan to bandwagon.Scotty wrote:The best part of this part of the day is waiting to see who bandwagons and why.
DFaraday is one of those consistent hobgoblins. The tone of his posts when he is bad matches the tone of his posts when he is good. I have been evil with him a few times, and even now I couldn't tell you much about him. His general Mafia strategy is to lie low and become more active when the herd is culled, but that is what he does when he is good. Consistent hobgoblin.Sloonei wrote:Do you have anything to say about TinyBubbles or DFaraday?
I don't really give a shit about any of that.Scotty wrote:OK, I wasn't asking about his lie. He even said he was lying. Do you think it's possible he could have pardoned himself?
Cobalt said he was going to make LC die. Not the same thing as a lynch pardon.Scotty wrote:Quick question- if Into the Woods is still alive, do you all think he/she pardons the one lynch during the day phase or night phase?
Because another thing that is giving me pause is that Cobalt could very much be Into the Woods. Am I wrong in thinking that is a possibility?
Epignosis wrote:I was hoping I'd wake up to BR's response to my questions.Golden wrote:I'd really like to get a few people's views on Black Rock.
Since people are voting already, I'll explain what's on my mind:
On this forum, if you leave an unpublished post in a tab for too long, it will say something to the effect of "The submitted form is no longer valid" or "This page has expire; please refresh." I forget the exact wording, but I know it has happened from time to time to me. It's no big deal: You hit F5 and your content is still there.
But Black Rock made it sound like posting what she did was an accident, like she had the wrong tab open or something (one that was left up for 12 hours?). Plus the "I forgot to press submit once and came back 12 hours later to see my post sitting there and then it got caught up in linkitis and then I failed" doesn't make sense from a technical standpoint.
Epignosis wrote:How have I completely switched gears? My #1 suspect has enough votes to do him in, I think. I am therefore free to pursue other suspicions, and you are it.Black Rock wrote:Epignosis, I find it very odd how your opinions haven't changed since you have a new role and you have completely switched gears. Bass your teammate?
Epignosis wrote:I don't care about looking good.Black Rock wrote:I'll always put family and work over a game. If this bothers you then voting for me is the right thing for you to do at this point. It doesn't make me bad, I just have my priorities in the right order. Dogging me won't make you look good.Epignosis wrote:It isn't, but it doesn't seem to bother you that you may be addressing me after the poll is over.Black Rock wrote:I hope the poll isn't over soonish. I'll address Epig then.
Voted.
I work and have a million projects going on, and I have in-laws here who outnumber my family. I just made a delicious lasagna. Everyone has real life. Nobody here is a robot. So none of that matters to me in the context of this game, as none of it has any bearing on what role PM you got. I am not saying you are bad because you aren't posting a lot or posting when I want you to. I think you know that.
What DOES make you look bad:
I've been bad with you a few times recently and I am detecting some similarities.
Your posts not posting (the only time I have ever had that happen to me was at work because someone swore up a storm right before I posted and so the work filter kicked in). Technological issues with no precedent on my end raise my eyebrow.
The way you word things are flaky.
You missed the Day 1 vote (Yes ma'am, I find that suspicious, not because you have a reason for missing it). I find the content of your posts Day 0 and Day 1 suspicious in conjunction with missing the vote.
Finally, defending yourself by:
Anybody with work and family and good sense can say this.Black Rock wrote:I'll always put family and work over a game. If this bothers you then voting for me is the right thing for you to do at this point. It doesn't make me bad, I just have my priorities in the right order. Dogging me won't make you look good.
Doesn't make you good.
And no, dogging you doesn't make me look bad.
That wasn't scrutiny. It was (re)stating the obvious.DFaraday wrote:She has also recently begun to scrutinize Epi 2.0, which reads like an honest suspicion to me.
Dom wrote:SINGER 2: Vote on, vote on, vote on, vote on
I guess you weren't really listening when I said “Okay!"
Or, why not vote Epignosis?
He does just about whatever he wants.
Erk.Cobalt wrote:Not only that, but a lot of his suspicion on me stemmed from him being aggravated that I wound up voting SVS on day one instead of Long Con. I explained afterward that I didn't realize how late people voted here and it didn't look like LC was going to get lynched so I switched my vote to someone else I found scummy, but that wasn't good enough for him.

That's what you said.Cobalt wrote:If LC flips bad, I'm inclined to think S~V~S a little bit clearer. She's the other person people have expressed scum leans on, so why throw shade on one of the only other talked about scum reads in the game? As far as I know, some people are willing to lynch Long Con and some people are willing to lynch SVS. Seems like a convenient opportunity to make her look bad if people would be persuaded to vote for her.
Cobalt wrote:That said, I'm moving my vote to SVS for now, as it doesn't seem that Long Con is gaining any traction, Epi.
In fact, it almost looks like he's keeping under the radar so as not to draw too much attention to himself.

(tip for the technically unsavvy Scotty - I always push 'preview' when I'm posting images or videos before pushing submit, in case I've stuffed it up).
Epignosis wrote:I made an interesting discovery this afternoon.
I was helping my parents move some things, and came across their vinyl collection (not really large enough to be called a "collection," but there we are). My dad's big into classic rock and country, so there's some Boston, Doobie Brothers, Eagles, and that one Coven album with the imp playing the violin. My mom was more into folk and the golden oldies, so among hers I find John Denver, The Beach Boys, and a Lesley Gore 45 (bet you can guess which one).
Curiously, however, there was one record my parents both denied owning. Yet there it was.
The album in question was recorded by a Mr. E. P. Nosisberg between the years 1959 and 1961. The liner notes indicated that these sessions involved lesser known talents (but talents all the same) such as bassist Virgil Stanford Thompkins I, and percussionist Wilford Allen Varney.
Mom and dad didn't mind at all when I asked if I could take the record home and listen to it. They don't listen to much music anymore and don't even have a turntable these days. Given the nature of the songs listed on the sleeve, I thought it would be of interest to those who signed up here (or are thinking of signing up) if I held the mic up to my speakers, punched record, and let us all find out what this dusty relic had to offer.
The opening number is a familiar Gershwin tune, performed many times by no less than Billie Holiday and Nina Simone. Let's have a listen.
You can't embed the site the image shows up on. You need the actual url of the image (right click the image and click "View image" to get this.Scotty wrote:I apparently don't know how to embed pictures.

I'm just surprised it's so dead in here.
G-Man wrote:^ Probably not a bad idea to keep any eye on this joker too.
He's been way off his normal game. I mean, he's only 73 posts ahead of me right now. Suspicious silence is suspicious.
