WHAT?!/1?! But Epi said I was mafia.... LITERALLY HOW CAN THIS BE?!?!?/1/

This is especially funny since I'm a civ!

Wow, sweating my nuts is contagious! Again, I'm not entirely surprised, as that has been my experience for my entire life, so what can you do?

I have a busy day and won't be around anymore, so I'm going to go ahead and vote Epi. Continuing to repeat made up shit about me is a dick move, regardless of alignment. (Though I do not expect him to ever admit to such a thing.) I don't know who pissed in your Cheerios lately, but I hope your life gets better for you!

*votes Epi*

You're bad. You're usually one to come out and lead, but you're not doing that. You are hanging back. You are bad. You should be lynched.

That certainly couldn't be explained by the fact that someone I've known nearly 20 years just recently died in a horrible car crash, and could only be identified through DNA because of what happened to him. Nah. That really doesn't tend to affect the amount of time or passion people have for playing online games.

I can answer that myself. He has no power role and knows absolutely nothing.

He does suffer from a severe case of Sweating My Nuts. But, never fear, he is not the first man to suffer horribly from that, nor is he the last!

Dude, the distancing is a good idea. Just be sure not to make it too obvious. I like the plan though. You're going to get mega civ cred!

Um, ok? So just planning to be useless all game. Excellent. Got it! Cool story bro!

Epi, what is up with your obsession of me?

No one has mentioned it, so I will. Does it mean anything that she was immediately pinged by Epi, and she was obviously a civ?


@ INH - regarding roles, iirc, when the role list was up, all 3 of Kilgrave, Jessica and Luke were listed as the baddie team. I'm 95% sure that's right, because it struck me as very odd, and really stood out in my mind. She could have changed the role lineup of course, but nevertheless that's how she had it set up previously.

I am assuming that in a game like this, role claims are all not to be believed... so I'm deciding not to even think about Ruben. I've not played a closed setup game before, but for my money not believing any claim is the way to go. (Especially if the claimed character isn't even on the show. )

Couples have a mystical ability to scumhunt each other, so I'll keep that in mind. I've seen both BR and Silverwolf destroy their significant others in games before.

Not sure what to think about Epi myself though. He is awfully quiet in this game, but I'm not sure if that actually means anything.

Do you think it means anything that after replacing back in, she completely backed off her original Epi suspicion and pretty much did a complete 180 on him?

Dragon D. Luffy wrote:Porbably voting between MM and indiglo, because I have a bad story of going after obvious suspects in this forum and having that backfire.

You are welcome to join Epi in wrongly voting for me. (Unless you are scum, then you will be correctly voting for me.)

While I do appreciate the ongoing conversation, my personal opinion at this point is that Elo 2.0 cannot speak to the pings or suspicions of Elo 1.0. She is now a different role, and since there's no way to know if she remains civ, any discussion of her previous civ suspicions or pings is moot - the person who had those pings/suspicions is gone forever from the game. Anyone is (of course) free to disagree with me on that, but that's where I'm at.

Sad news: we have less than 24 hours now, and there is still not anything I feel terribly compelled to vote for.

@ Elo, regarding #3 - It just means you were pinged by him and you were not his baddie team mate when he pinged you. It was a genuine ping.

RIP Elo, and welcome back.

Blah. Still not completely right. Screw it!

I think he knew he was going to survive, and because the roles are hidden, his anonymity is a strong boon for his game. I know it would be if he were bad, shoving blame at Wilgy..

A distinct possibility that should not be discounted.

Granted, I'm feeling less than great about the prospects of Wilgy being civ.

Whether timmer is a civ or mafia aligned, he is definitely a power role. The other option is a possible 3rd party lynch pardon, but that would be a wasteful use on day 1 without info and I'm willing to rule that out completely.

I've never seen Wilgy as real-game-talk-oriented this early in a game as he is here. I don't know if it's alignment indicative or not though.

And I agree, I think it has to be a native protection. The only other option I see as possible is if he were a baddie and someone else on the team had a save and used it. Seems most likely to me that it was a native protection, and not entirely alignment indicative.[/quote]

insertnamehere wrote:Welp. Not really sure what to make of that. Timmer most likely has a power role, not sure if that means anything for his alignment.

Timmer, are you surprised at your pardoning?

I wish I would have memorized the role roster while it was up. I really don't remember how many power roles there were in either faction vs. vanilla roles. I 100% agree with you though.

And oops, I just totally reasked your question. At least we're double as likely to get an answer now.

@ timmer - Are you surprised you survived the lynch? Do you know why you survived?


The way timmer was posting after the poll was closed and before the post went up struck me as very civ, off hand. But hearing from him about it will be helpful.

I just found out an old friend of mine died in a fiery car crash due to a drunk driver. Leaves behind his wife of 17 years and 4 sweet kids. I gotta log off.


I randomized, and got DDL.




Dom, I hope you're ok sweetie. Let's all hug our loved ones a little tighter tonight, yeah?

Dragon D. Luffy wrote:I'm gonna jump on this indiglo wagon. Have a gut feeling too. I think she feels too nice.

Well this is a silly reason but this is a Day 0 poll so whatever.

Well I do declare, that is one of the kindest insults I've ever heard.


I assumed Epi forgot it wasn't yet Nov 8, but was still trying to make the wisest decision for POTUS.


At any rate, if nothing more major pops up, I may randomize. I like Scotty's point about INH, but I'm not 100% compelled to vote that way because of it.

I will likely have to vote tonight, because this poll ends at a weird time for me tomorrow and I won't be around.

Yes.

I've always been told I'm quite a character.

Scotty, this is a show about someone who made a mafia game that I single handedly won with my superior playing skills, beguiling charm and incredible good looks.

Or maybe I'm getting it confused with another show.

Oh cool! How do I win this if you already single-handedly won it?

Indiglo didn't say that the show was about this Mafia game, so you are still eligible to win this one.

Mic drop for DF!!

Well played sir, well played!

No. But I would enjoy being his baddie teammate some day! I think Dom is genuinely a fantastic person.
