The Syndicate

This makes some sense to me. I would think that to have a balanced game the baddies wouldn't have something redonkulous like... 30 or 40 lives, would they? ARE WE ALLOWED TO KNOW THESE THINGS ?!?

I am going to avoid making a comment on the baddieses' abilities (or lack there of) to kill civvieses

Vomps, how do you feel about desserts? Like blondies, do you like those? What about brownies?

That is very convenient. But I believe I recall him talking about going into the warp zone now that I think about it..

Of course!

Linki: Who?

I do know Jigsaw personally, and he definitely has a bigger and better personality than he is showing here. I've never known him to be one to hold back an opinion for fear of what others might think about it. So, his silence in this game definitely makes me nervous. I would like to give him more of a chance to come out in the open and have a discussion with us, but seeing as it is now Day 6 (with the lowest number of deaths I've ever seen on any Day 6), I just can't see that happening.

I will admit that I am deeply considering giving him another chance to come out and talk, and just casting my vote to my number one suspect at the moment.

Gotdamnit!!! I hate being so serious!!! Ggggrrrrrrr!

I can appreciate this vote very much! But I am still considering a vote for you. However, now I am divided between you and Jigsaw

Boomslang wrote:Wait, so you're not against a lynch of me, but think the baddies were trying to off me as well? There's only four of them; not sure how much they could afford to do diversion tactics like that if I were one of them.

That's right. We both look suspicious for voting Llama and I am not against the idea that you may be bad. However, I could also see a scenario where baddies joined llama in his baddieslang crusade.

Llama has come for me so often in games we play that after the last time I really thought we had moved past it a but, but once again he came full out against me and even gave me a catchy nickname it felt off to me. So when there wasnt enough support for me, it seemed like he just flipped and was playing the same smear tactic campaign against Boomslang. I am sad to see I was wrong, and think that llama and I really just cant read each other in these games it turns out.

I can totally understand your case here and am willing to give some leniency here.

Russti: The original case against Hedgie was regarding how she bandwagoned against me with Nevinera and Jigsaw (she was the 3rd to vote for me). Nev was NKed just a couple of nights after this, though. But Jigsaw never stopped voting for me until recently (reasons unknown - he said he had second thoughts about me then missed the poll completely... silence ever since). In short, I was placing her under suspicion with Jigsaw and Nev but then Nev was NKed.
I'm still keeping a close eye on both Hedgie and Jigsaw

thllama knows what he's doing

Woot! We didn't move on, but we're still in this!!!

Now then, who are our main suspects for today? Boomslang is at the top of my list at the moment for obvious reasons
Hedge, I'm a little wary of you for reasons very similar to those leading me to look at Boomer.
And.... I have a beer in my hand and can't seem to recall whom else I was looking at.... I must be getting lazy... or something

Changing tactics I see

Mongoose wrote:@ RussTea. I think I am seeing a very civ Dev this round. He got us all good in Bioshock, and he won't dolphin me so easily next time. That said, Devin isn't as hard to read usually (for me anyway) as some of our notoriously hard to read dudes (INH, BWT). When he's bad, he has this tell, where he repeats words. He didn't do that in Homestar or AG2 (which I read when Bioshock was starting up because I needed quick familiarity with you lot of crazies), but he did it off the charts in Bioshock. He said blasphemy and supposed a lot, which caught my attention. I'm going to Civ Zone Dev for now.

I think we need to be careful as Llama is probably crawling on his last llama legs. I bet he would pop up civ too. I'm going to throw my lot in with Llama and Dev because I trust those nutty bast*ards and hope you will too. He's zany but that's only illegal in The Falkland Islands.

BTW, I had suspected Nev to be the killer of Mongoose 1.0 but then he popped up dead the very next night. Who is scared of the wee lil mongoose?

What are your thoughts on DP, BWiT, and A Person, the other 3 people who made the day 3 lynch but miss the day 4 one? And myself too, for that matter?

I really don't feel comfortable with the "Fetus can't be killed yet, so he's taking his own lives" assumption. I stil think remaining lives could factor into the equation for him and his target during Chapter 6.

Also, the portion of your post that I didn't quote comes across as massively jokey-overdefensive, and I'm saying this as the king of getting lynched for those kinds of posts.

I really have absolutely no read on any of the 3 players you mentioned here. AP and DP are always the exact opposite of me and yourself and don't give much to go on. I believe I have helped lynch civ AP for this reason before BWT is typically hit or miss with me. I don't see much change between his baddie game and his civ game. Has he posted much this game?

I think this would totally make sense for Vompers! Especially if he's super busy irl and only has time to pop in and vote! Aside from this I can't really see forgetting to hide Bandage Girl turning out to be a strategy.

Yeeeaaahh.... I thought about that after I signed off and continued working... I see I'm not dead yet so thank you to everyone for ignoring most of my overly-dramatic shtick What can I say? I admit it: I got desperate.

Anywho, catching up the rest of the way now before I have to drive home.

EBWOP: Second sentence of the the first part

Epignosis wrote:I'm going to renege on my thought that thellama73 is Dr. Fetus. This is attrition warfare; hastening the day of one's own vulnerability by not hiding Bandage Girl to hide one's identity is a poor strategy.

That doesn't absolve him, of course.

First part

[quote="Hedgeowl]I cannot fathom how llama is the one you are the most certain about at this point. Is this due to something behind the scenes? Originally that's what I thought, but there arent a lot of secrets in roles this game, so I am not sure where this is coming from honestly.

Honestly, if we dont think we can lynch Llama, than I am inclined to vote for his greatest defender Devin. Although he is very fun to have in the game. Llama may be bandage girl still, but if he were Dr. Fetus, wouldn't the best thing to do be to draw all the votes to you, while protecting your baddie teammates? This is my current line of thinking.[/quote]
But please don't vote for me... I really will die soon

In games I tend to get very strong reads on certain people right off the bat. Very rarely is it ever someone who is acting as strangely as llama usually does. But I've paid close attention to his different styles in recent games, and he is a very strong blip on my civ radar in this game. Originally I had him pegged as a civ with a lot of lives (Meat Boy perhaps?), but his most recent post has me thinking Bandage Girl. I HIGHLY doubt that Dr. Fetus would put himself in center stage as llama did on Day 0 (or 1?). Anywho, I just have a really good read on certain people. However, with 0 lynches thusfar it's been difficult to place any baddies

Anywho, I don't begrudge you for jumping on the Devin bandwagon the first time around, Hedgie. I'm just aksing you to trust me this time. Also, let me ax you this... Would I defend the zany llama so openly if I were his baddie teammate?? Would I??? ... Eh, maybe. But not this time! No! We don't have btsc with each other, as amazing as that would be. oops... ... That's better.

It's Boomslang, you guys, I'm telling you. His behavior screams baddie to me.

@Jigsaw: I hope we can come to a truce at least on this day. Please level with me here. I am not who you think I am. You are going to end up being the death of me very soon if you continue.

Wait... What?? How would self-voting work for Tofu Boy? I assume his lives work the same as anyone else's. Plus I would assume he would have the least amount of lives in the game...

He's got "suicidal" in the role description, yo? I think it's safe to assume he's gotta benefit somehow from getting hurt.

I can see where a suicidal role would be forced to vote for himself under certain circumstances (thus opening the possibility of Vomps being Tofu Boy). But, by definition these self-votes will eventually result in his death rather than benefiting him.

The only civ role I can see that would not be affected by self-votes is Bandage Girl. She cannot be killed while in Dr. Fetus's possession.

Ok... I'm going to cast the first vote today because I can easily see myself completely forgetting to get back on and vote before the deadline on a day like this. It should be no surprise who my choice is. It was all fun and games the first few days, however, he is scaring me now and if he keeps this up, Jigsaw is going to end up killing me VERY soon. Normally I wouldn't do this, but I would like to ask for everyone's help. Please help me lynch Jigsaw before he kills me. If he is a civ, he is not a helpful civ. He hasn't contributed much at all and he hasn't given me anything to defend myself against ("I think Devin is Dr. Fetus"). That's it. Would you want to keep that around? Or would you want to keep around a useful civ who wants to contribute to the cause?

Thank you in advance for any assistance I receive (if any).
Peace out!! *votes*

Lizzy, despite my comment and the fact that Nev died right after voting for you and calling you out, I do get the feeling that he is wrong about you and I will not be voting for you. I trust my gut more than anything else... I just hope I'm not wrong

Also, it's still possible that Nev was Brownie

Hedgeowl wrote:

thellama73 wrote:Bear in mind that voting for Dr. Fetus will not harm him at this point, HedgeBaddie.

I see you are still pushing ahead with your marketing campaign against me. I said I was interested in low posters, but not voting for one. It is a good point that we don't actually want to vote for Dr.Fetus right now. I am sorry Nev isn't here, because he was making quite a few good points I thought. What I am wondering, is if someone would have so obviously tried to set Lizzy up? Because she is the most suspicious to me currently.

Antics aside Llama, the more you push the theory of me as a baddie, the more I suspect you. It just can't be helped, because I know I am civ, but I don't know anything about you. Devin gave me pause with his certainty of you, so you are on my back burner instead.

I'm glad to see someone has been listening!

Nev is quite possibly the dark horse of Mafia. He's super intelligent in the way he plays and I'm really sad to see him die this early in the game If there is still a res out there, it should be used on this man

Of course!!! Per chance, do you have enough lives to survive this time??

Hey y'all!! Just popping in to check on the poll. It looks like we're still a bit scattered here. And I'm a bit disappointed in the llama voters. You guys are making a huge mistake

I get the game better but don't really have a clue yet about who is good and bad. I think jigsaw and devin are up to something, and INH and llama are too. Can't decide which is the good one/bad one though.

Devin's not up to anything in this little scenario. Jigsaw is being a douche Did he even say anything this time before voting for me?? He is determined to find a fetus within me... that I am a fetus bot... that I'm a fetus within a mansized robot... yeah. Anyways, My point is that he has not said ANYTHING other than "I think Devin is Dr. Fetus." ... Douche...
I'm going to reveal who he is in RL if doesn't start contributing

Nevinera disappeared after being called out, so I'm increasingly suspicious of him, as well.
I'm not sure I follow the cases on inh and AP. I don't see much baddie activity there unless I missed something.
I totally called that Vompers was a baddie in Homestar pretty early on. I'm not sure if I see that this game yet.
The baddie team killing off Epig as one of there own and then immediately using a rez on him is a pretty damn bold and ballzy move... But not unthinkable

Linkitis from hell!!

Oh wait... That's just one giant post

To be clear, I disappeared months ago, and am not really that "back". I think a quick look will show that I have been barely present this whole game - I'm really too busy to play, but I missed the game :-/

I think everyone seems to be ignoring the oddities in the game though. Powers aren't the only thing that could take hedge off the board - I rather suspect she tried out one of those warp levels.

I can completely understand this Nev!! I'm trying to get answers, which is why I put so many on the spot. I do feel better about you disappearing now, but I'm not going to totally turn my back on you because you are a part of this game. Hope there's no hard feelings for that

The other part of me thinks he is actually a baddie and wants to vote for me until I lose all of my lives! (The latter is why I keep retaliating with votes for him!)
