If you received a cure, then yes.

I'll have you know I was very scummy behind the scenes. Harumph!

That free death of mine made posting a lot less stressful, for sure. I'm a nervous wreck.

Golden fooled me, but damn Fractal, nothing you said during my lynch made sense and I so knew you were bad. You better play another game here sometime so I can return the favor

"Y'ALL NEED JESUS" might be my favorite quote ever Sorry, dude!

Hooray!! Good game, all! A friggin' nailbiter

Oooh a tie. Let's break it.

Agree w/ Kyle on today being treated as LYLO and I think it makes Nijuu look bad in light of that — “well, Fractal’s good enough today even though I think Colin is more likely” — no!

Yes!

This is getting spicy!

I’m not a fan of it either, dude, and I sure would be down with voting Colin, but that’s not gonna happen today. Next best thing, I suppose.

All right, looks like a Fractal vote makes the most sense today. *crosses fingers*

Oh wait, now I do! Hooray!

Damn. Nope.

Oooh if I make another post, will I actually have two pages of ISO?? That would be exciting.

What do you think about T.H? I'd only consolidate (is that the word?) on Colin if i can't get a T.H counterwagon

I think he's come in suddenly with guns a-blazin', which I can't recall if I've ever seen that from him before. (If I have, it's been a looooooong time. Really, it's been a long time since I've played with the dude in general.) I was more wary of him when he was quiet, TBH.

But i know he's been mostly pointing at the wrong guy with his guns, at least for me, and i think for Golden. If both me and Golden are town, do you still think T.H's town or no?

Not this late in the game. But I also don't think both of you are civ so

Man, it's hard not to tinfoil.

To answer Golden's question, I was AFK enjoying my vacation and shopping for piddly wedding supplies yesterday. Woohoo. I'm about ready to be done with this prep and planning. And by "about ready" I mean I was 100% ready like four months ago

And damn, I just realized I'm the only lady player left - not a very progressive mafia, are they? I have some catching up to do, I suppose, besides just reading the most recent page.

I hate it when my phone autocorrects to “lunch” I blame nothing on delicious meals!

Gahhh. In light of nutella’s death and yesterday’s lunch, I’m most inclined to vote Colin or INH today. Colin for doing the back-on, back-off with nutella “suspicion,” and INH because of the weird tie(s). It just went down weirdly. I don’t want to split up the votes all over, so I’ll go INH for now.

Well, hell

I'll be back after breakfast and Star Trek. Gotta start the day off right.

Kylemii wrote: ↑Mon Jun 25, 2018 6:13 pm @Scotty @nijuukyugou please tell me why you shouldn't be lycnedh

Errr, because I'm not bad? Because people's reasoning for voting, from what I understand, is because they "feel weird" about me, which is not a reason, and is why Vomps got mislynched. Some of them have even said they "can't explain why" - they just "have a feeling." This happens to me quite often, and it drives me nuts. I've contributed and voted my convictions, and have been candid about those things.

Anyway, I ramble. That's what I've got. I gotta scram and go win some bar trivia, but I'll phone check to make sure y'all don't lynch a civ.

I need to step away from the computer for a bit - been sitting too long. Since I feel itchy about Colin, I'm going to vote for Colin now. But I may have to save myself, or something crazy could happen in my absence, so I'll be back.

Bleck.

Who are your three LC teammates in a world where colin is not scum?
Who are your two LC/Colin teammates in a world where he is?

I'm making my own lists.

I don't put anything past anybody regarding bussing, buddying, or thread-infighting anymore, so my teams would look similar except different people:

Without Colin: nutella, Scotty, TH. Because I'll be asked, TH is on there because, unlike the other two, has not touched me with suspicion. Distance. (Yes, this is self-serving, but we're all our own favorite subject, aren't we?)

With Colin: nutella (if I tinfoil and they're distancing, and boy, do I love a good tinfoil) and...errr, Marmot? Or TH? Someone quieter, methinks.

speedchuck wrote: ↑Mon Jun 25, 2018 2:54 pm LC/Colin/Fractal/Scotty? No, too obvious. LC/Colin/Scotty/...Marmot?
LC/Marmot/... INH/Dom?

Gosh these suck.

Makes me feel a little better about lynching Scotty/Colin/Marmot, though. Not much better, but a little.

We went through the same existential crisis, methinks, in making these lists. I tend to take mafia games in smaller chunks since I read so sporadically and in those huge chunks, so coming up with multiple suspicions at once is HARD - my brain is a fucking tangle 100% of my life.

It just sat there until the last two hours.
I'm still not certain what the reasons behind it were.

That said, I do regret switching it, because I did so thinking I could suss out Colin today. And I can't. I'm trying, but I can't tell.

I suppose it looks a lot worse reading through it in a span of 10-20 minutes than sitting on it for two hours. But doing so also makes me look back at posts, particularly Colin's, in a different way. When you say a suspicion fifty times and don't act on it, that's when I start to raise my eyebrows. mostly because I can't raise just one, no matter how hard I try. I'm no Dwayne Johnson, alas

You literally say it like every other post. That's what makes me itch. Like leaving her on the back burner.

I thought Colin’s train looked too easy, and here Golden left his vote there all day easy peezy; not only is he absolving the train as breezy, but he still thinks Colin is NAUGHTY

You understand what I’m saying in limited words? No deopling suspicion, just dropping some turds, on an easy target 1 rock, 2 birds, so now me and Colin are NAUGHTY

I would definitely like to see more of the female characters played out (supposedly, this is happening with a "spin-off" of sorts called My Heroine Academia, woo!), but the character development this season has been MUCH better than the first. Bakugo's lack of growth pissed me off for a while.

Okay more like seven pages of catch up, but who's counting? And I'm still going. But

Story of my life, dude - people say this shit about me all the time. But anyways

What the hell happened yesterday? I know I'm looking at stuff in retrospect, knowing the results, so I have not much room to talk/criticize, but that Vomps wagon came from virtually nowhere. Colin, you were gung-ho about nutella and said multiple times to lynch her if you were gone, yet you switched so easily over to being convinced by Fractal. In fact, reading your posts from yesterday and today, I'm seeing perhaps why people were starting to wagon on you yesterday. The only person you place any consistent suspicion on is nutella. You touch on others, just barely, just lightly placing possible suspicion on them. To me, this looks like what I thought nutella was doing with you and others - throwing shit to see what sticks and who'll go after it. In the case with Vomps, you, Fractal, and speed don't come out of that looking good to me.

Yuck. Okay, continuing my read.

heres her first post after insanity time, you’d think she’d share more now that she’s in her prime, but naw she’s just here which isn’t a crime but her avoidance is pretty much NAUGHTY

It seems like her reads were mostly in veil, when no one could understand inside her insane jail, and lo and behold she comes back- the snail- to “catch up”, she’s probably NAUGHTY

If by avoidance you mean out of town enjoying my wedding shower and getting home late last night and preferring to watch My Hero Academia instead of reading about five pages of the thread after driving for four hours, then yes, I've been avoiding the thread. Sorry not sorry

Other than that, I'm happy to clear up my insanity posts - the gist was that I felt like Colin's response to nutella's accusations was a-OK - calm, collected, and stern. I felt like nutella was throwing around poop to see what stuck. I'm still in catch-up mode, though, because I didn't come back to the thread all of Saturday after my own vote, and most of yesterday except when I popped in. I know Vomps died. I don't know how the hell that happened, so I'll go have a look at that shift, and then everything else.

And finally, while getting insanified on an insane IRL day was a blessing in disguise to me (and fun as hell), I, like others, am curious why someone would choose me. I very rarely get targeted for anything, yet I've been targeted twice so far in one game. Maybe my luck's a-changing, but I'm intrigued.

My current scum/Ramses list is:
-Colin

-juliets

Nijuu is probably flying under the radar. I remember when i was bad with her in (rocky and bullwinkle?? Maybe?) a lot of her posts were fluffy excuses for her busy-ness. Granted, she IS always busy, but I found it superfluous when she was bad.

Her input to this point is 17 posts, which isn’t all encompassing suspicious, but I can’t say in my ISO that she has said anything substantial. Very much lurking

I beg to differ about flying under the radar - 17 posts is pretty good for me. Then again, I'm proud of myself when I get past 10

I'll have you know that whatever game I was bad with you in (I don't remember which, either), it wasn't Rocky and Bullwinkle - I was writing deliciously punny stories with Eloh. I'm only pointing it out because I'm particularly proud of my work and love a good writing role.

But aside from all of that, I appreciate and welcome the scrutiny from you and others. My vote and timing look awful, and I'd suspect me if I weren't me. Happy to answer whatever, but also to look elsewhere as much as I can.

All right, I gotta go soon for Appointment #5343256 today (actually it's #4, but still that's a lot for one day), but I have caught up enough to give a vote.

[mention]ColinIsCool[/mention], thanks for answering my question. Makes sense. I like gathering reads and reactions.

I see a linki for Golden - from what I see between the two, it's Luna's (I hope I'm right - I'm just typing from memory rather than going back meticulously through the thread) breakdown of LC's behavior. Missing the vote, contributing fluff, etc. I considered him, as well as lapluie again, for a vote, for being mostly absent and fluffy (awwww), especially lap - she disappeared after suspicion died pretty quick, but I also see others saying this is "normal" for her. I know LC's a busy dude, and the last couple of games I've played with him, he's been like this, IIRC. Mixed alignments, IIRCA (the A is for Again). But I don't like letting possible baddies lie low for long, busyness or "playstyle" or not.

I'm most pinged today, however, by nutella, especially in regards to suspicion of speedchuck. I get it - you're looking at his previous games as a baddie and playing at Supatown. But I found myself asking the same question as someone else (sorry, don't remember who, even though I think it's even on this page): since when did apathy indicate civvieness? I know I've been burned a few times by super active people fooling me into thinking they're good because of their activity, but I feel like I've been fooled more often by those lying close to the surface (literally and figuratively, different verbs).

Yes, my vote is slightly contradicting what I've just said about low-lying players (hell, even as I'm writing it, I'm second-guessing the crap out of myself, as this tie is more favorable than yesterday's IMO), but I'm going with nutella since I feel the stronger ping the more I read her.

(Do y'all want an aubergine with that? They're pretty all right, but I prefer squash in the summer.)

Good god the linki (yes I'm going to comment on it every time it happens)

I'm back! Still in pain, but despite speed's wishes not delirious one way or another Or not as delirious as yesterday, at least. I'll be on here spottily today, as I've got several appointments and whatnot at weird times.

Thoughts as I read:

1) RIP DDL. Welcome, Golden!

2) I am intrigued by the discussion of Ramses and who might be posting as the sock. The Rico theory makes sense based on what's playing, but also, it would be really weird, since Ramses is a role, if that player couldn't control the sock. This is a weird ass game, after all, but it's worth exploring as we continue to play.

3) Speaking of that, this both caught my eye and made me laugh out loud (nutella's reaction, specifically):

sorry what? I literally said I think it's rico, and my point about the music is a large part of why I think so

I see, from your next quoting of her, where you got the speculation, Colin, so at least it wasn't totally misunderstood:

Ramses also wouldn't say right out that he enjoyed the music as speed, me, Kyle, and vomp have. maybe vomp though lol. I originally assumed it was just Rico himself controlling the sock, but since it is a role in the game it might be the player. But why not also think of who even *would* post those pieces. Like, juliets wouldn't, right? I think it's either Rico or someone else with funky musical taste like maybe vomps.

yes. I thought from the beginning that it was rico, but I was trying to consider who else it could be since it might make sense for the player to control it, but since I narrowed it down from a combination of people's reactions and music tastes I went back to thinking it was rico. ya dig?

No dig. Find a better candidate and maybe I dig.

What do you want out of nutella by this statement? More speculation? I'm curious. The interaction makes me eyeball both of you for different reasons.

3) [mention]Marmot[/mention] I just saw a marmot running along the road like half an hour ago! Just thought you'd like to know, as it's prime marmot season here now.

4) David Njoku's a new one

All right, I'm out for now - got one of those random appointments. I'll be back with (hopefully) more substance and less pain before the vote, and I'll be voting relatively early since one of my random meetings is during poll end. Blooper out.
