Yeah, I'm not MP's teammate. He just had me fooled. This is my first mafia game after an extended hiatus and I am easing way back in with gut reads rather than detailed case making. I had a good gut read on Mac too, but now I'm willing to vote for him in light of the MP result and his new eagerness to get rid of me. I guess I have to give zebra a pass for now, as much as it pains me.

Yeah, that sounds like me.

Derp, Zebra isn't even on the poll, Llama! I guess I am voting Daisy today.

Okay, let's do that.

I will vote for Zebra again or SD

Yay! You are a true friend, Elohcin.

I will not vote for my friend, MP, so I have to choose another. I would love to vote for Zebra again, but if DFaraday is the second choice, I may pile on there to stop this madness. Who's with me?

You people are nuts if you think MP is bad. I know the guy. I know his style. He is not bad this game.

Zebra, on the other hand, is so aggressively steering the thread that it reeks of desperation. The whole "ZOMG I'M 100% POSITIVE MP IS BAD VOTE FOR HIM NOW!" thing is so transparently trying to stifle discussion and browbeat people into behaving a certain way before they have time to think.

Think for yourselves, folks. Don't take zebra's word for it.

RIP sig, even though all your opinions were wrong.

I don't agree with your theory, Matt. But I like the effort!

Well it's a Mr F theory so I assumed you wouldn't need telling.



Kidding, of course :P I'm sure it's lovely.

Hi Bullzeye.

RIP Golden. I'm glad MP didn't die though.

Both have already voted for MP. I'm easily the baddie read you're the most passionate about yet you haven't even read the thread extensively enough to see everyone but you referring to me with female pronouns. Are you trolling?

I self-identify as someone who thinks you are a man.
Don't judge. Be tolerant, at least as much as you can.

Canuck and Dom, follow me
Vote for Zebra and save MP!

Word, Canuck.
I wish you good luck.
You're one of the few making sense
when everyone else is so tense.

C'mon Zebes, play the game
Try not to be lame
First rule of Curse Club
Is don't talk about Curse Club, bub.

MovingPictures is civ
You should let him live
If you lynch him I'll know
Who the bad guys are and blow
them away.
M'kay?

He's mafia? Who's he? Who are you referring to? I didn't get any elaboration about your Blooper read or your Golden read when you weren't restricted to poetry, and only the vaguest of reasons why I was supposed to be bad when I asked you earlier. How do you expect people to follow you on any of your baddie reads when there's no reasoning behind them? And this suspicion of MP seems to be new. I don't recall you indicating you thought he was bad here. Is this a new thing or are you jumping on the easiest bandwagon at the moment?

Hey zebra, learn to read
You stripey half-steed
You're no match for a llama
who thinks that yo mama's
so dumb that she thinks
that that fool Jar Jar Binks
is the only part of the Phantom Menace that don't stink.

Why so defensive?
You're supposed to be pensive
and figure out bad guys
who make all the civs die.
Instead your aggression
leaves a bad impression
that begs the confession of your sins.
Llama's playin' to win.

Dom finds you suspicious.
Succumb to his wishes.
His questions need addressing,
and you should be confessing.
You're mafia also, I'm guessing.

Guys I'm so sorry I missed the vote, I was putting on an event in Iowa on no sleep and totally had no time to check in. Won't happen again.

RIP Black Rock. I'm sorry zebra killed you.

Trying to buddy up to me to keep me from suspecting you?

Nice try.

If I was bad then I would benefit from your suspicion because of how hilariously unfounded it is. Same with Blooper, same with Golden.

Oh, I'm pretty sure it's founded. Real founded.

Do tell. If you wish, of course.

Classic thread steering. Classic overposting to drown out everyone else. Classic overdefensiveness. Classic mafia tells.

Hey zebra, can you post fourteen times in a row again? That was awesome.

Why are people trying to get Canuck night killed? Makes me distrust Golden all the more.

thellama73 wrote:All right, Blooper it is. Sorry, Blooper.

Can you point to specific posts where you feel Blooper has exhibited mafia behavior?

Probably.

All right, Blooper it is. Sorry, Blooper.

All right, caught up!

Here is my list of suspects:
Golden
Zebra
Ninja Blooper
Glorfindel

Since MP lists both Golden and Zebra as heavily trusted, I feel good about those suspicions, since he is usually wrong.

But which one to vote for?

Canucklehead wrote:Also, I agree with llama that I think I'm beginning to detect baddie nibblejunkuku. I see her baddie game as detached, equivocating, and excessively casual (is that an oxymoron??), and her posts are starting to read that way to me. Something to keep an eye on...

You're the best, Canuck.

Golden wrote:@llama - your suspicion on me sounds like BC's suspicion. Where in my mafia career does 'laid back' equal 'bad'? Was I laid back in economics?

I prefer my Golden more on edge.

37 pages in. I'll finish before I vote.

I think you need to elaborate extensively on two things.

1. How I'm being manipulative.
2. How you're not.

I dont *have* to do anything. If you dont mind I will play my own way and I do not need to be told what I do or do not need to do.
Besides almost every post you make is twisty and manipulative. I am not gonna pull a hundred quotes to show you anything.

This, I agree with. Yay Roxy.

Okay, I'm twenty pages in. Making good progress! Here are my suspicions thus far:

Golden: too laid back this game for me to feel like he's normal Golden.
Nijuukyugou: Admittedly, I usually suspect her. Just something about her style I guess. It seems too equivocating.
Zebra: His rainbow list pinged me, as it felt like an effort to get certain people off the hook by listing them as civ. I'm not sure why I didn't feel this way about other rainbow lists, but MP seems like normal, civ MP to me.

I do agree that Simon's initial eagerness to go after Fett was telling, but I'm not happy with the amount of people piling onto him today.

MacDougall wrote:This is no way to hunt a likely fully in tact scum team. No vote pressure on anyone except Simon. Lots of gambling posts. No egg breaking. Empire can just come in vote Simon and leave, how are we supposed to flush them out if we just do that?

I like this fellow. He is smart.

Okay, ten pages in. I'm posting that I think Golden is bad so I won't forget it by morning. He seems too comfortable. More in the morning!

Now I'm seven pages in and my first ping is against Savage, but I see that Savage was killed by the Empire, so that's probably wrong.

Guys, I've read two pages of this game so far. Only 48 to go! I think it's going really well. I am so happy to be here with you. More updates to come soon.
