I didn't say you defended Enrique. I said that you are protecting him. If you think they are both bad, then why vote for Made instead of Enrique?

I said why I voted for Made.

Obviously you suspect me now, so that's something. I'm not a baddie this time.

I found Epig's points about Made repeatedly defending you, Enrique, coupled with the Made save seeming last lynch, compounded by Epig and BR unrelentingly suspecting you... To be very convincing. My vote will go to Made.

Enrique's survival is suspicious.

I Baneslayer think it's that hard to figure out what capote insane person is terribly.

Hmm... I could be wrong. But I think getting a gist is easy enough.

Exactly.

And the fact that hosts over time have requested certain additions to the "insane" word list makes for fond memories of games long past, bubbling up on the lips of the insane.

Linki: yes! And it's pretty hard to police that replacement policy. Like, should Epig be not allowed to suspect Enrique now?

When I get afflicted somehow, I don't look for ways to beat it, I try to look from a host and game perspective. We are NOT playing this game to beat the Hosts. It's not a challenge that you should be trying to negate, it's a fun and funny thing that is part of the game. If you decide to say everything a bunch of times, you basically nullify the effect of the Insanifier, and you make Jackie's role a non-role.

I urge you to play the game straight, and have fun. Don't try to beat the Hosts.

And I don't think it's suspicious that zeek is insane after asking about it. If I were Jackie, I would probably give him a taste of it too, since he was so interested in what it was.

There are better insanifers out there.

It's not a competition. If it were, then I could make improvements. I just don't wanna.

Epig, you assume you get better as you go. I posit that your ego may convince you that you are a improving, despite evidence to the contrary.

OH yeah, and Epig... sorry for voting for you. It was just one little vote, I didn't know you'd get railroaded like that.

Ha ha, I just posted this in the Polls thread.

If Made isn't bad, then the theory that the Snow Dog voters are bad goes away. The baddies aren't going to pile on to one of two lead-vote-getters for no reason. Why would they do that? Why not just vote around, early, late, like everyone else? Made has to be a baddie to make this look at Snow Dog voters make sense.

Ergo, if you want to pursue this course of action, the only sensible vote is for Made.

I think that makes sense, let me know if it doesn't.

Epig, where were you?

MP07, I don't see how "No u"ing you is a baddie maneuver. Is that what a baddie does? Did I twirl my black moustache as I did it?

It's not an alignment thing, it's just what it was. I didn't have a solid suspicion due to quick-catch-up reading on the phone... I get the basics of some of the prominent debates, but I don't know who's right, which are Civ-on-Civ, etc. If you want to lynch me for being a poor player, then make that your argument. But it doesn't make sense to call it a baddie maneuver, because... it's just not a move that's in my sly-baddie repertoire, you know? I don't even get how that would result in any advantage at all, really.

But if you guys need a Civvie for this plan of yours, I will be happy to volunteer. Tie me up with someone, and let me be lynched. And then you'll have a baddie.

Of course, the plan is not going to happen. Everyone is not going to agree to it, because of possible vote manipulation by the baddies... but I thought I'd offer up my lame ass for it if you need a Civvie. Ha ha ha, probably suspicious of me to offer. At least I'll become part of this game now.

Vote for MP07 because I see he voted for me.

Too much activity! You're seeing a quieter LC because of the amount of posts to catch up on . I can barely keep up with this insanity!

Hey, I know I'm being quiet, but I'm reading along, trying to figure out what's what. I'm a little suspicious of MP for being The Master, but I think I'm more sympathetic at the suspicion he's gotten for surviving a night kill. I'll add it into the mix that there's a Civvie role I know he's not due to the events of last night. Just to balance out the baddie roles we know he's not. Barring some ballsy self-kill he knew he could survive. Is there any protections revealed in any of the Cyberbullies?

Last line of the Master: "This is up to and including kill attempts."

Ha! Nice.

RIP Epig! I voted for Karn because it sounds like a Magic card I know.

Epignosis wrote:Be careful. I might change my vote and get everybody to vote the way I do.

I don't think you're scared of a couple of little votes.

Voting for Epig for now, I think his long-term game is to hide in plain sight.... in a baddie kind of way.

Epignosis wrote:Roxy, if you read the exchange in context, you will see that I did answer juliets, and there was no "Cheshire cat" responses. See for yourself. Mafia piggyback on suspicions, and juliets played me once before doing exactly that.

In which game did she play you like that?

I always work hard to ensure my accusers are held accountable to truth and accuracy, because I feel the same way.

I'm also "guilty" of only doing The Master for now. It's just because it was there first and I started it. Maybe I'll go Dalek tomorrow or something, I'm not doing it all at once. I think that, as a community, we'll get them all solved in no time,

Buried there at the end of Made's post.

LOL @ Epig. I'd follow you here, but I just don't see you with the kind of voting record I would need to follow your lead blindly. But I think you don't want to be a leader. I think you want to be having *your* suspicion and not try to influence anybody so that you'll have a history of *something* instead of nothing; little substance with plenty of flair.

Zeek is almost definitely right about Vastra and Jenny.

No juicy baddie secrets revealed, but we did get The Master.

Well, Zeek didn't seem to be targeted for his saying so. Not yet anyway.

And CHRIS!! Good to see ya man, who should I vote for?

Does anyone else want to come forward and let us know they had info on that poll? It seems unlikely that Zeek would be the only one. I didn't have any info. Not that I voted, but there was no PM informing me of my best choice or anything.

I think it's funny that Dom is in trouble for a night poll vote. Have the non-lynch polls had in-game results that we know about?

Dammit.

Hmmm... suspicious. She only sucks up when she's a baddie. [img][/http://www.mikesteffler.com/graphics/suspicious.gifimg]

One thing I actually DO know about this game, I read the thing with Zeek and MP07. Zeek mentioned that The Master might resurrect, "like The Doctor". MP attacked him about it, like Zeek was trying to tell half the story, but I don't think that was too valid, since Zeek literally mentioned The Doctor in the same sentence. So, siding with Zeek on that one.

Ok, I have tried to catch up, but it's so many pages that I'm going to just try to start participating now. I could use a quick update of things I need to know about the game. Really sorry I haven't been able to be here yet, but my online time has been more occupied with the Monty Python game I'm still a part of... I have prioritized that game.

I'm going to keep up as normal from here, and try to catch up along the way. I have only ever watched Dr Who during the 4th Doctor's time... when he regenerated into the 5th one, that blond guy, I was like "WTF is this crap??" and I stopped watching. Then many years later, I observed a massive resurgence in the show, but I didn't watch any of it.

Anyways, some faces here I don't know, which is very excellent. I'm Long Con, been playing Mafia for years. I started on Lostpedia forums, and have played on The Piano, and Revolution Mafia.

Hello, sorry BR and I haven't checked in yet. Very busy week, still no computer. We will catch up as soon as we can.
