Unless he is both silenced and unable to vote. I feel like I've started to see that more often lately with silencing-type roles.

In other news, my sign-ups are now open for Doctor Who! Come on over and check it out!

Also, I forgot to add that part of the reason I haven't been as active either is because I am tweaking some stuff on my Doctor Who game, which will go into sign-ups at some point today!

Sorry I haven't been around! I've been fairly busy with work yesterday and other family activities this weekend. I just spent the last hour or so catching up though, and I think I am up to speed now.

The two people that currently stick out to me are Hedge and JC. I feel like Hedge was trying to pick out two easy targets for lynches, and then cover her butt if either of them got lynched and wound up civ. I think rey and SVS covered it in pretty good detail already, but that's how I felt about her posts. As for JC, the LC debate was definitely pingy, but for some reason I'm a bit more hesitant about her. My only guess is it's because I usually have a hard time reading JC. Most likely I will be voting for one of the two, but I want to see what else develops.

Yay! BIH DFaraday!

I might not be here much tonight. Tomorrow I will be much more free, and will be posting like a madman then.

Linki: Reading that later.

A few more:

Okay. I'll stop now. <_<

You'll probably be fine, can't see people talking too much during night.
You sure about that? We saw this thread hit 30 pages for Day 1, and there's plenty of people playing who love to talk during the night. Me for starters.

I mentioned a quote from Mongoose earlier. If anyone wants me to re-quote it, I can, but I did so on the previous page. Basically, it seemed like she was voting for MP partially because Daisy and I did. Does anyone agree or disagree with me on that? Because right now, I feel like there might be something there.

With MR, if he said in the chat that he went to go eat something and would be back, and that didn't happen, then idk. But I'm done trying to use the chat to prove anything to myself. If others want to use it, fine, but I think it's a waste of time when we can't go back and look at what was said and have to take it on people being genuine and honest about it. So from now on, I am going to pay close attention to anyone who tries to use things said from the chats as evidence to make a case on someone.

Let's see...Mongoose and MR are all I've got for now in terms of suspicions (albeit not very strong ones right now). I feel like there might have been another one, but I need to go back and look.

Linki: Llama's mustache > Every other mustache on this site. Sorry, but IRL he has the best mustache I have ever seen.
1. I wasn't even the one who brought up the fact that y'all two voting for Sock was interesting. Someone else agreed with it I think before I even said anything. Plus, that was only a small part. I didn't feel good about voting for Made and voting for a third party would be throwing one's vote away. I just didn't feel the need to go into why I was voting him when others had discussed it to death and others voted without stating specific reasons (which is pretty reasonable when literally infinite people vote for Player X).

2. When Logan/Llama and I went to the Dali Museum 2 weeks ago, someone stopped us and asked him if he was Dali's son. Then we did a walking tour and someone said he'd not trust him because he had a funky mustache. THEN two other people mentioned his hirsute face to him while we were at Tampa Theatre.

Well to me at the time, it felt like you were the first person to just hop along and roll with the bandwagon. Do you know who the other person that commented on it being "interesting" was?

And I think I remember you telling me that story. Still quite funny though.

Omniscient as I am, this thread is a formidable and daunting task.

I HAVE A QUEST FOR YOU ALL:

You must give me a synopsis of this thread, in your own words, with perhaps some little bits of decoration.

Well it's okay. I used to believe in you, but then I grew up and stopped having imaginary friends. So I win. :P

As for the synopsis, I would say it's been an Enrique/llama/Made love/hate triangle that has spilled over to the rest of the game, resulting in throngs of lustful, orally stimulating passion. Except for MP, because he is dead now. There may be some others not feeling the love yet, but I'm sure they will be.....converted.

Linki: That porter looks intriguing. I might have to find it and try it sometime.

There are many people lurking right now. Are any of you lurking people willing to answer my question?

Like who? I've been told talking at night was sort of an unorthodox thing.

I think the more old-school thought of mafia (which I consider myself towards the tail-end of, given I used to do this) is to not say a whole lot at night and hope the baddies divert their attention away from you. Whereas more the newer players tend to be more outspoken during the night in hopes that the baddies will go after lower/quieter posters and avoid the people drumming up conversation. I don't think there's necessarily a right or wrong way to go about it. But for me personally, I prefer to get all my thoughts out that I can during night in case I do end up getting killed. That way I don't regret not mentioning something I could have said while I was alive.

Also, I'm agnostic, so I'm not sure how that plays into God having any potential influence over me. :P

Yeah, given what character from the movie that MP was, I'm going to go ahead and say that was a worthwhile lynch. I would assume with fairly good certainty that he was a SK. So BIH MP! Sorry about that, Alex! But good luck with this semester, man!

If we're going based off of "accountability", how do you feel about MR supposedly refusing to participate in the challenge?

Indeed. And perhaps in the position to read him best. My vote will lie there for now.

linki - I can't get into the wifom of that right now.
So your logic here is to go along with Daisy and myself because we know him best? No other reason why?
Oh man, no. I did not mean to make it seem like that. All of the other reasons, but I thought that was good supplemental evidence. Do you regret your vote?

Alright then.

And right now, I do not regret my vote. The only way I regret it is if MP comes back as a civ. And I do not think that is very likely.

S~V~S wrote:Me? No. But the discussion at that time was about several people in a row voting MP. the fact that two of them knew him well IRL makes a baddie pile on seem less likely to me.

Sorry, I should have clarified. I was asking Mongoose there, not you.

juliets wrote:MR -
So you non-nonchalantly left us, 3 of us, on our own to do that whole challenge? Do you know how hard that was? So really what I get out of what you're saying is you didn't care - you had no desire to help the team out. This explanation just doesn't help me with my uneasiness about you. I think there is a fair chance you not only didn't care you planned to not help us after you checked out who was there and saw we were not your teammates. No one else who was part of our group did this and some people like bwt and mp came in as soon as they could after they found out about the event. So bottom line, you intentionally didn't help us and as a result we struggled and ended up here. I am uneasy about you so you get my vote today -

votes MR

I missed the quote where MR supposedly said this. Could someone point it out to me?

Oh, I'm definitely staying. I had just considered a break for this game is all. But I got my feelings off my chest, and feel a heck of a lot better now.

If I'm frustrated with mafia, I do best to either vent or walk away for a bit. And thankfully it's worked every time so far.

Linki @ BWT, guess I'm not the only one who is not feeling like Alex is trustworthy this go round!

First off, yes, a thousand times that.

As a side note, I know Enrique was making comments about wanting to hear more from me. Right now I'm dealing with my 2nd week of a new promotion to a management position. And I'm already in long work hours, during which I have zero time to check into this game at all. And given I'm already sitting in front of a computer for 6+ hours every day so far this week, you'll forgive me if I don't spend tons and tons of time reading up on mafia.

I'm sorry if that comes off as rude or harsh, but I've gotten comments like that several times in the last few games I've played, I've felt. And lately, I've been getting more and more frustrated with mafia with seemingly every game with the last few. It finally hit me tonight that that is why. I was very, VERY close to not playing this game and deciding taking a break was a better option. But I like Roxy and DP and know that the two of them co-hosting a game together would be oodles and oodles of fun. So I decided to go for it. But know that I put as much time and effort as I can mentally allow for mafia. I do genuinely enjoy it and want to keep playing. But I feel like it's just that one more comment of "You should be posting more" etc. that I got that made me want to scream out loud lol.

Alright. I'm getting of my soapbox now.

As to the second, great minds think alike!

Linki: Very true, llama.

Alright. So I just accidentally deleted my last post. So this one is going to be much shorter.

I am not voting for anyone in the Made/llama/Enrique triangle. I think that is such a clusterf**k and I'm running in 5000 circles with it. So until that settles down a bit, I will not be looking in that direction.

I will, however, go ahead and vote for MP. I feel like he's contributing without saying a whole lot, and sticking to the shadows some. Plus I don't feel comfortable with the way he gunned for SVS (who I'm feeling fairly confident about so far, which says something this early given I usually feel like I can't read her well at all).

I think looking at the Made/llama/Enrique love/hate triangle is not the way to go for this lynch. I think it's a bunch of civs at this point, arguing over something that we can't prove and no longer exists. I would encourage others to look elsewhere for this lynch.

Votes MP

3 linkis with that one, but thankfully all at once.

thellama73 wrote:Made didn't answer my question, so I'll ask BWT.

BWT, are you on a team with Made? I asked him and he didn't say no. A lot like the Bagpipe Who Didn't Say No.

If he's a civvie, then technically yes.

Linki: That was quite clever.

Linki2: So he's saying he's not on my team? Wat.

Alright. I need a few minutes to think this over. But I think I know who I am voting for. Just need to digest my thoughts.

Okay. That's what I was thinking, but I thought SVS was referring to something else that happened in addition to that. Nevermind then.

Do what most people do. Vote near the deadline without having read anything.

Nope. I'm not giving up yet dammit! :P

I'm going to try and address some posts as I go along. Most likely, I'm going to stick to ones that directly address me.

Still weird that there was no one around to vouch for you tho? BWT, do you remember any o this? It's basically Made's word vs llama's at this point.

I don't know. I don't know if it's something that happened when I was there at the time or not. My head's been trying to fight the current since this game started, and it's getting harder and harder as time goes on. And what's worse is I have to vote for somebody before I go to bed tonight, and the only person I'm even remotely, minutely suspicious of is Made. So I don't know if I'm going there or going to see if I can find a better option.

Holy shit. I go away for a few hours, and the thread has left a smoldering ruin of destruction in its wake.

As to Made, I think that's very interesting the way he responded to the possible hinting at BTSC in the chatzy thread. I need some time to sit on this one and really think it out. I will say that I think MP, llama, and Enrique (among others) are using it to create some genuine discussion. But my head is swimming and I've tried not to spend a lot of time in front of my laptop tonight. I spent at least 12 hours at work over the last 2 days staring at a computer screen doing training and tests on it, so my eyes needed a bit of a rest lol. And I have 2-3 more days of it too.

But tomorrow evening, I will try and get a better idea of what's going on and contribute more.
