Ooooh fatal attraction You know you can't resist these tentacles.

RIP Mongoose Damned silencing and vote prevention.

I...don't even know who to trust now. The baddies sure are getting a hell of a lot of easy bandwagon lynches. Hedge is making the most sense to me right now because, well...she seems to be noticing and commenting on the same things I am. And she voted LC, which I probably would have done again. I like consistency and my feelings haven't changed about that at least.

Oh, and happy birthday, DP! I'll try to get a tribute to you if we literally have until the end of the day. If not, I'm voting "block" just in case a baddie wins because that seems like the most innocuous prize from the list (unless I'm horribly, horribly wrong, in which case please correct me).

RIP llama. God was wrong.

You want to believe a guy who obviously faked being cursed, with absolutely no reason to trust him? A guy who, despite having been blendier than a smoothie, accused me of being bad first because I (one of the highest posters) was apparently blendy?

Bullzeye, be fair. I was speculating in that post, something I don't normally do in the thread, but I wanted to see what others would say, and I'm sorry you were silenced and didn't get a chance to respond while it was happening (honestly, I didn't think about it until you talked again). In the end, I clearly wasn't willing to trust Boogs, as I didn't go in that direction. I stated this. I was willing to listen to further arguments if he had any, especially because his statements about you were out of the blue, but when none came, I didn't vote for you. I even said I had no further suspicion of you. Without any further proof, I still don't see a reason to vote you next round.

You're mad. I get it. But please be fair and don't twist my words, and don't assume that everyone sees an "obviously faked curse" when it doesn't appear "obviously faked" to me. I don't want to play the newbie card, but I often don't see things that appear "obvious" to more seasoned players. I will definitely agree that his behavior has been extra weird this game (I have pointed this out multiple times), but the reason why I even thought to give the idea he proposed a chance was because the combination of that weirdness (all of it - the relative silence, the smileys, and then the "suspicion" of you) just seemed like it would be too risky to perform if he were a baddie. That's all.

Anyway, take it as you will (except as sarcastic - that's truly not what I'm going for). Oh, and totally voting hamster. I love hamsters oh so much

Yeah, that's not exactly pinpointing anything, but it's helping me get my thoughts out, and perhaps someone could bounce ideas off with me?

Well, I was thinking of something that might be just the opposite - what if boogs was pretending to be cursed yesterday and today is really cursed. The thing I keep coming back to though is what Long Con said and that's why would anyone curse boogs to begin with.

Maybe I should move away from boogs and ask if anyone has seen anything about bullz that looks baddie? I haven't seen anything.

Ah, didn't think of that possibility. I don't have strong suspicions of Bullzeye, and while I'd like to give Boogs a chance, just saying Bullz is bad doesn't give me anything to go on. I understand he says he can't say more, but...to stave off the possibility that you might be cursed today, I'd like to wait on it. And see if you can say more later.

Llama vote pile concerns me, as all vote piles do. I don't really have a great reason to vote him except that God told me to (which, for some in the world, might be the best reason of all :P). Llama's behavior always looks weird to me, so it's nothing out of the ordinary and he's a hard one to read. I wouldn't be surprised either way, because honestly, I never am with him. If I'm going with an actual suspicion, the next one on my list from last time was LC. See last Day post for details. I'll put my vote there. Say what you want.

And now, off to parent-teacher conferencing super fun time! Until 7. After being here since 7. Joy.

Damn, sorry MM And now I see what you meant by worried, yet not worried. Doh.

Boogs' posts are confusing me, and it's odd that he's still posting like that both in the Day and Night periods. I wonder what the deal is? I see others are having similar thoughts. I will read and evaluate and offer thoughts later (about that and other things), but it may not be tonight, as I just got back into town and still have to go to the store, do laundry, grade papers, and generally be an adult and have responsibilities tonight I will do my best.

Voting "coconuts migrate," because well, they do.

I am also known by Blooper, among many names of delicious candies and confections! (Although, as I said at some other point, I don't think Bloopy candy would be very delicious.) You are welcome to shorten and mix up my name in the thread because I know the name is a ridiculous alphabet soup (but it does have meaning! I promise!).

Okay, back. Whew. Whirlwind today in the world of Real Life, and catching a brief moment before more guests arrive. SO.

Firstly, a belated RIP God (sorry about that, Lord/SVS - I really did think you were bad!) and RIP BWT.

Secondly, I've been seeing posts about Mongoose giving people baddie vibes throughout the game, but I don't see it. Her gameplay seems fairly normal to me, but perhaps I haven't played with her enough to know? I don't see her "red herring" comment to be out of the blue or a BTSC slip-up, as people are saying, although I would like to know more about what she's trying to say (but perhaps she just...can't? Possibility). I don't intend to put my vote there.

Out of the people on the list today, I think LC and MM are most likely to be bad that I can see. LC pinged me with the sudden outburst at llama for his BTSC/Chatzy comment and using that particular instance as his apparent time to go after him. He claims he's been after him under the radar since the beginning, but I didn't see it (probably because it was "under the radar," but if you feel it, say it). As for MM, I re-read him (and lordy, was it a re-read...so many posts :P ) and while in the beginning I wasn't seeing much wrong, especially with what people were using against him (the French comment, the Epi comments, etc., which I found relatively normal), his final adamant Made vote disturbed me because he had a pretty good reason to believe he was Lancelot, and said so, but still voted for him. LC did the same thing. Yeah, y'all weren't 100% sure, but you had good reason to believe he had a definite Civ role over others on the poll.

And now, MM claims he's not worried about being lynched. That's weird. That's really weird. Is it protection? Or assuming that people won't bother to vote for you? I'm going with MM.

And the amazing disappearing Blooper performs her tricks again, playing the good Party Host until later tonight. POOF!

Also, time for more beer. Oh so much more beer.

I'm checking in. Sorry for inactivity. Hell week at work, and we're busy here getting ready to throw a grad party for my brother, AND I'm leaving for the ballet in literally a minute.

I will post more substantially later. I have suspicions and I will state them later.

A thousand apologies to the hosts and my challenge teammates for my absence - I had some personal shit happen last night that prevented me from getting on a computer for any decent length of time, let alone to mafia. Tried to get on earlier today to explain but now my work computer has a virus. Super. So, here I am. Anyway, I'm sorry again

I will need to catch up a bit, but I also need to eat. I will go ahead and do my night vote (which, of course, the option I automatically thought of is the only one I'm not allowed to pick :P) so the closest is "four shalt thou not count."

Woo hoo, "free" moment at work when I'm definitely supposed to be grading! And yay, I get to respond to things!

1) SVS, when you say "waffly," do you mean I haven't directly stated my suspicion? Or that I could go back on what I say? I'll kill two birds with one stone: I suspect you because it appears you have been conveniently turning the thread away from you when it gets even close to talking about suspecting you (except, of course, now, when the thread seems to be moving that way and you're probably at work like me but being good/busy). I think I also mentioned something several days ago about how I found your behavior different because of more emotion (which you did address, but...). Honestly, the reason why I see your pleas as disingenuous (AKA Crocodile Tears. If that's not a nice term let me know and I won't use it :P) is the bias that I just see you as bad.

And you're right - Boogs did clear up his suspicion of you, but didn't explain very well why, unless I missed it. That's what I wanted to know from him, if he can explain more.

2) Canuck - I see what you're saying. I still think it's unsound logic, but I think I'm just gonna agree to disagree here for now, as we're talking ourselves in circles Mafia accusation is so unnatural for me and takes getting used to knowing I'm not actually hurting people's feelings!

3) LC - thanks for the explanation!

I think I got them all, but if I didn't, feel free to angrily tell me so in the thread And while I'm at it, since SVS is my top suspect, and I don't know if I'll be back on in time to vote before the deadline (gotta love after school meetings that last til God/the LORB knows when), I'll go ahead and place my vote there.

And now for some thoughts, while I'm actually able to post AND read what others say:

1) Canuck, I feel like I've picked on you in the last few games (and I hope you don't take it personally! ), but your response about voting Made to make yourself "take responsibility" (and not voting for who you really thought was bad, Mongoose) is...extremely weird and unsound logic. To me, it seems you are doing the opposite of what you say by voting for someone that already has the ridiculous majority of votes. You get to say in the end that "oh, well he looked bad and everyone else voted for him" when he turns up Civ. That's not taking responsibility - that's jumping on a bandwagon. Your responses to Ket seem floundering a la Misfits (which you've pointed out several times :P). For the record, however, others voted for Made in a similar manner, even though they claimed to have a conviction that he was a Civ (Lancelot, as they stated) but voted for him anyway because "his lynch was inevitable/necessary" (MM and LC, and possibly others although I'm having a hell of a time going back through the thread and I'd like to get this posted).

2) I think LC's sudden turn on llama for a comment I thought was rather innocuous to be...odd. I've seen other people accuse players of only being on when it's convenient and possibly being in a chat, so...not really understanding why THAT happened to be the comment that set him off. Is there more to the case than "That's what a baddie would say!" LC? I'm curious.

3) I'm still looking at SVS. You are a hard cookie to read, madam, but also a master at turning the thread in the direction you want that I've noticed particularly in this game. My gut and my previous reads from this game tell me your defense is naught but crocodile tears (I don't know why I'm talking like that, but it sounds both cool and stupid in my head and I'm sticking with it).

4) Boogs has made the same number of posts in this game than I have, and that's...REALLY weird, as he's not usually this quiet in my experience. I am most curious about his most recent post, which tries to steer us away from SVS. He said her posts are "genuine" but doesn't offer an explanation as to how they're more genuine in comparison to Ket's (and others') reads that they are, well, not genuine (I know you mentioned this, Ket, but I figured it was worth looking at a second time). Any further thoughts, Mr. Kitty?

5) I never knew the term "scum" actually offended people! I saw people using it in Xmen behind their socks but never really thought how it wasn't used anywhere else. Ya learn something new every day

S~V~S wrote:Seriously, have I been condescending? I worry about stuff like that, I worry about hurting peoples feelings, etc. If i have done so, if I have made you feel ignorant, I am so sorry. You say "once again" like there is a pattern of this kind of thing, and if that is so, I apologize.

Catching up with the thread, but I wanted to address this first - you are absolutely not being condescending! That's just the way I talk, and I was afraid it might come across that way, so apologies for making you feel bad Sorry for just responding to this now (I tend to mafia in spurts when I have time and when I don't literally fall asleep sitting straight up on the couch, like I just did about two minutes ago). I figured I'd ask you since a) you used the term and b) you're usually the quickest and most efficient answerer of such questions

Now, going back to read!

RIP reywaS

birdwithteeth11 wrote:Why ugh?

Ugh.

As usual, this thread exploded while I was gone. Geez. And really, not in the direction I thought it was going. While Made was the top candidate last time for lynching, I didn't expect to see 9 votes piled on him over 24 hours before the deadline.

I read the thread last night before I went away from my computer for a while, and it seemed like there was suspicion on SVS from several people for the whole "Made's a seemer" deal and things that I won't rehash because, well, even I posted something about that. Then, I read the the thread today since last night, and the conversation turns back to Made, from (what it seems to me) some rather clever steering by SVS. People call her out for not voting Made when she's suspicious of him because she claims it will be useless if he's a seemer (which, if that theory is still going around, I still don't buy it in a game with no public roles). Someone else (I'm sorry I'm not being specific; I can go back and add specificity if that's your bag) said that she could then use that leverage to save her reputation regardless - if he flipped Civ, she could claim he's a "seemer." So she turns the conversation towards lynching Made, and votes two days early. It works beautifully, getting hte attention off of her - several other people follow, more than what Made even had the day he did win the most votes, but didn't end up getting lynched. Easy lynch, right? TWO DAYS EARLY.

Yes, I voted Made last time. I even voted him the time before. It was mostly because the "lynch-switch" (or whatever happened, as we apparently haven't determined what it was yet) was fishy for the last one. For what it's worth, Made's behavior is pretty typically Made. He's nuts. So I won't voting him on account of his behavior, because it's not "weird" in the sense that it's different from usual, and I've only seen a Civ Made. But SVS? I mentioned this I believe Day 1, but she's acting fishy this game (early votes, reactionary posts not typical of what I've seen of her as a Civ, etc.), and so are a lot of people in the thread voting Made this early. But especially SVS.

Call me a hypocrite or wishy-washy this round, think what you want, but I'm gonna steer away from this lynch crowd and go with what my gut and my brain tells me. It looks to me like a few baddies taking advantage of the behavior, and some misguided Civs getting an easy vote, which all can justify later as "oops, well he looked bad." I have a nut and an apparently insanified nut going in the same direction, but I guess I'll be a nut with them. I hope I'm making sense, but totally won't be surprised if I'm not. I'll keep checking the thread as I can and see how things play out.

FYI I likely won't be on to do this checking until tomorrow afternoon, as I'm going out of town to celebrate a friend's bday. Yay celebration, boo driving!

Well, I thought Enrique was suspicious, so I guess I was right part of the time? See you in DW, bad/brave Sir Robin!

It was SVS's theory and alleged reason for voting for me....

Yeah, but is it based on anything, or did she just come up with it out of thin air? I can make up role powers you might have too. Maybe you will explode and kill the last person to vote for you when lynched! Maybe you switch teams every time you take a certain number of votes. I don't understand why people are taking this seriously if it's not based on any evidence.

I definitely laughed out loud at this. It also made me think. I understand people are speculating as best they can without, y'know, revealing stuff in the thread or speculating too hard, but where did the seemer thing come from? I know I'm rehashing what several people have said/agreed with, but I also notice SVS hasn't answered that question, unless I missed it.

And now, my cat, Scheherezade, the adult film star, for Dennis:


Gahhhhh so much linki (hey, I think that's the first time I've used that term!) I don't even know what to do, and I thought I was all caught up Back to reading. Or maybe I'll just have a beer. Or both.

Oh dear. RIP MR I also didn't quite understand the case on him. A re-read on the case (and others being mentioned, I suppose) is in order. Sorry I don't have much more to add than that at the moment (long workweek, even though it was actually short ).

I do so love it when the Lord comes to speak to us! And it is only through our most gracious, wonderful, and beautiful hosts that He is able to do so. Or is it vice-versa, Lord, since you are, well, omnipotent? I suppose that's not very good praise for our almighty overlords, is it?

...So, have a cat eating buildings as tribute.

I think it might be the only way I can vent without getting in trouble...

I hate to say it, but I am now very confused Perhaps I haven't been mafia'ing long enough to know all of the different types of roles people are discussing? Or I'm not good at reading theories that can't be fully explained? Gahhhhh!

I'll just say what I do "understand" or feel. I'm still wondering about the lynch and (what I believe is) the possibility of a lynch switch, and the results still make me suspicious of Made. I'm also still suspicious of these sudden supporters who were so gung-ho about voting him last time and were ready to vote him again, and now they're turning away? I feel like I'm missing something. I probably am missing something. My instinct is to go for what I see as the simplest route (i.e., assume a baddie lynch switch), unless I actually see a theory/speculation I can fully understand. (And I totally get that the rules don't allow people to get their thoughts out as clearly as they'd like, so I'm sure it's just as frustrating for y'all as it might be for me and others.)

(Side note: if my tone comes across as sarcastic, that is absolutely not what I'm going for - I am actually utterly confused by today's thread posts and theories, but I did want to contribute thoughts regardless in hopes that maybe some light could be shed )

Also I am enjoying the Hebrew/history lessons! I do love languages and Biblical/Torah fun

Canucklehead wrote:Ninjajujube: come out come out wherever you are.....

Here I am!

Whew. That was...a lot of reading. Some suspicions I understand, and others I don't/haven't read into enough/don't really have the capacity right now to hold in my brain. So, with that being said, I'm looking in these directions:

Enrique: Pinged me from the beginning with the whole back-and-forth with llama, then conversational connection with DF, as someone quoted (was it Epi? Or multiple people? Anyway). I would've voted for him on Day 1, as I believe I said before. However, as I read the thread, I waffle with my opinion on him.

Made: While he's not playing differently from what I've seen before, he does seem to be distracting more than usual (not with pictures, mind you - the conversations themselves). Someone made a point that we can argue until the end of the game that "oh, that's his usual playstyle" and find out he's bad. Keeps mentioning the "two-person" baddie team, which could just be his normal speculating. But then...also pointed out that he's being "calculated in every move he makes." SVS said something about your behavior either being "noob" or purposely distracting for a reason. Hmmm... And speaking of SVS:

SVS - Raaaaaaather unusual reactions a few pages back with Made, then with LC. And by unusual, I mean much more defensive/irritated than what I've seen for any game I've played with her, in such a short span of time, regardless of alignment. Perhaps you really are getting defensive because you're good and don't want to get lynched, but the other way around is just as possible. And I chose to ignore my ping of your "unusual" behavior in Misfits on Day 0 (albeit it was differently unusual, but still), and you were bad, bad, bad

My vote will go towards one of those three, and soon. Damn, re-reading takes forever!

Hello, all! I've had a busier weekend than expected traveling, so I'm catching up with the thread as we speak. Apologies for being inactive over the last few days. Will come back with thoughts and a vote hopefully soon

The "orally" mistake amused me so when I finally got a chance to go back and read

The Dude wouldn't like this one much, but I happen to like the Eagles. Also, not too many other songs with "night" that haven't been mentioned come to mind that I'd post to the thread. (And the picture on this video is both entertaining and really, really freaky.)

Oh. My goodness. I have been desperately trying to catch up with this thread, and I've read a good chunk of it. I'm also quite sad that I missed most of the Day 0 shenanigans/fun/Monty Python quoting that I would've absolutely participated in had I not been so exhausted from lack of sleep and excess stress.

I said my opinion on Made before (that he's not being particularly unusual, from what I've seen), but I wouldn't rule him out as a baddie. I'll just keep my eye on him

Enrique's posts earlier in the thread made me most suspicious. Aaaaand was totally gonna go back and find exactly what that was, and now my Internet is deciding to be spotty and impossible for such a task. Perhaps, like someone said, he was just getting heated with llama and reacting to it, but it pinged me. That also, however, makes me want to take a look at llama, as well. I'm sorry for such a crappy explanation right now. Enrique's not on the poll, however, so can't vote for him regardless.

Regarding MP, I'm not entirely sure why the votes are piled on him, although I'm seeing people tacking it up to his being "wishy-washy" and requesting other people's opinions in the thread without offering much of his own opinion. If that is the case (and I can see a bit of it), then I would find that to be strange behavior for a Civ MP, since he's usually pretty sure of himself.

The others with votes, I'm just not sure about at all, mostly due to my now inability to read anything before the Internet craps out again. (I suppose that's what I get for procrastinating.) I hate to tack on a vote to the tail end of a long line, but out of the ones I actually could read, MP is the most suspicious. There are others I will for sure take a look at when I have the time/Internet capability.

RAWR I am hangry and irritated with my ISP Sorry if it comes out in my tone.

Holy shit. I go for a run and a shower, and this thread has exploded.

I've read through what I can, but since we have until Thursday, I'll do a more thorough read-through before then and when I'm not running off of just about no sleep. From what I see and want to respond to at the moment, I am also in the camp of being against voting low posters. Also, I'm not currently getting the baddie vibe from Made, although llama so graciously gave us his insight, which may be used as evidence if more comes to light. I say I'm not getting the baddie vibe because I see nothing unusual in his behavior so far (compared to his "normal" gameplay, that is :P Made is beautifully unorthodox). But that's really what I'd like to contribute for now. My apologies for not yet adding new insight; my brain just can't handle it at the moment, but will hopefully be more awake tomorrow

God, I need sleep. The first week back to teaching is the devil

(aaaaand the thread just keeps growing :P)

I don't like touching or being touched, so I'm going with wink wink
