I am not bored. And I don't think this is a popularity contest, either. There is a lot of skill in this thread.

I concur 100%

Seconded.

More challenges, please!

But not really.

Well son of a bitch.

I vote MM because he self voted and that's totally baddie behavior

Now someone send me messages or something.

I want messages that tell me who to vote for

It's the availability of L words like these that made the name game (the one where you pick a word that describes you that begins with the first letter of your name) so difficult. All I could ever come up with was "lovely," "lion," and "lollipop."

Luscious? Loquacious? Lenticular?

Liberated? Lonesome? Errr, Lenscrafters?

Lovely Lady

Whew - nearly forgot getting caught up with grading bullshit (even though there's still plenty of time)! I'm down with either nutella and Made, but I'd rather not risk the time bomb, so I'll go for Made.

I will either be voting nutella or Made today. I don't like that first lynch survival and would like to get rid of a possibly dangerous role in Made. But I also like the idea of getting rid of a possible killer in nutella, if we are to go off of some detective work done by those in the thread.

This game seems to require a "better you than me" mentality that I haven't gotten the hang of yet.

Indeed. And the intensity will only increase day by day.

Elohcin wrote:Niju, what are your thoughts today, we haven't heard much from you. Are you still settling in with RL stuff?How is that all going by the way? I've been thinking about you and Epi says lunch is not the same without you

I'm here! And I thought I voted, but I was wrong. I've been weirded about by Nisani since Day 1 and have agreed with boo that he is probably BS'ing, so I'm happy to vote his way today. In regard to your other question, RL is going well but has been quite a change! I'm still adjusting to getting up earlier, work is crazy busy with paperwork and parent e-mails (amazing what happens when parents are involved - it's like night and day from the "other place"), and I'm not as free to check/respond to mafia during work hours, which is probably a good thing :P I'm also closer to old friends here, and they wanna hang out and have a real social life, even during the week. I'd forgotten what that was like, so I'm doing the balancing act with all of that. I do miss those lunches with everyone back there, though, however short they were. I will be back down that way to see my old babies graduate, but/and we should plan a hangout soon

Made, if I'm reading you correctly (I'm a little sleep-deprived, so forgive me if I'm wrong or being obvious there's a better word than that, but I can't think of it), you're saying to look at people not associated with Dana or who haven't had much interaction with her in mafia are the ones that probably have the killing powers? I could see that.

boo wrote:Spoiler alert: It's probably just more bullshit.

In regards to the list: Agreed.

Elohcin wrote:The thread is so slow. I think we should have a vote again for 24/24 vs. 28/24

Agreed.

Agreed.

Made wrote:I'm going away. If anyone yell at me for inactive, they will be shot

Where is Made? He's been gone for over an hour.

Gimme an N!

(for nijuu, of course)

Well holy shit

Ah, Made returned! Sorry, Made - I too understand only being able to be active when others aren't. I suppose I'm just used to your being more active, but RL seems to be busier for you lately, huh?

I'd also like to see if there's any credence to Epi's suspicion of Bullz. But mostly, I need everyone dead but me, so there's that.

So you're distrust toward Nisani is content related and your distrust of Made is his survival of the lynch. Which one weighs heavier for you as the lynch draws nearer?

Made's survival is concerning, but I'm more concerned about Nisani's weirdness. Even if it won't really do anything (but hell, what do I know - Made looked like a sure thing Day 1 and nothing happened), I'll vote Nisani. Maybe some behind the scenes mess will see to it that I still get my favor? But probably not. Alas.

P.S. - Sorry for being so close to the deadline, y'all - I got out of work later today and desperately needed a nap. Just woke up 15 minutes ago.

G-Man wrote:In my mind, there are four options today:

-Epi: Currently the crowd favorite, though I ear it may just be an overreaction to behavior that can't all be defended
-Bullzeye: Epi's choice for vague reasons based on hunches that he is unwilling to provide further evidence for
-Made: Still one of the lowest two posters. It's easy to forget about low posters and in this game you don't want to forget about anyone or let them coast.
-Nisani: Currently the lowest poster and the only content he has delivered has been cryptic and highly suggestive of a tilde-secret role. His team has completely fallen apart.

Anyone want to add any other names to the list for serious consideration today?

Are the Omega Whores still willing to have me? If so, I would like to officially join their ranks.

I agree with all of these, save Epi, mostly because I'd like to cash in on my favor later on (I haven't decided what I need/want at this point) and his presence amuses me. I'm a practical woman. Why Nisani keeps referring to "town" in a game where no one is town is beyond me and I don't know why he keeps saying it, but it's not making me want him around much longer.

It's a shame Dana died so early - she was rather good at the role decoding. I wonder what our challenge will be

Epignosis wrote:

Roxy wrote:Epi - how are you intending on repaying Elo and Ninja?

That depends on what they ask of me.

Precisely this - I expect my favor upon my request if it's reasonable. Dunno what I need yet. Dunno what counts as reasonable yet, either.

Well, that was interesting.

As for timing, it's a speed game. Part of its appeal is its speed. As in, 24 hours. So I'm voting for that. But if it does end up being 48 (as it looks to be so), I agree that when it gets down to fewer people that it should change to 24. A squid can dream, can't she?

Done.

I want a favor. I don't want to vote Made, even though he's pretty much a goner (and besides, I'd have to vote him eventually). Voting Nisani offers me no tangible favors thus far, even though he gives me the willies. So Epi, does that offer still stand? 'Cause I'll go for Bullz.

Ooooh, opposing favors! This just got interesting. Actually, it's been interesting the whole way through. I think I'll take up one of those offers. The question is, which one?

Epignosis wrote:I am voting for Bullzeye now.

Why are you voting Bullz, just to not vote Made? Why are you bribing people with favors to join you in voting for him?

Because I like Made, and he gets voted out early for bullshit reasons. Also, Affirmative Action!

You are the worst kind of person.

BTW it's good to have you back, Dana! I missed your kitty's your face your and your kitty's faces around here

Dana wrote:Wait you guys if any of us can get our roles switched around every night then is every day just lay day 1? If we kill a killer can't the role just come back? Someone you trust/don't trust could just be someone completely different the next day. I'm so confused about how this game works. Also we got some Es in on the first page, so I'm going to start trying to decode that since that was super fun in doctor who.

It reminds me a bit of Donner Party, except with no real alliances. Just go with it And decode away! I love puzzles but for some reason I'm absolutely awful at the role decoding.

Same reason why people are joining alliances, I would imagine - for security. A different kind of security.

Epignosis wrote:I just signed up for this game hoping to see some boobs.

So far I have no been impressed with the ones I've seen.

You came to the wrong game. It's last MAN standing. Unless, of course, you like man-boobs. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

7 (now 8) posts? I'm on a roll in this game! I'm just gonna go ahead and say that I agree with boo: I've never liked Nisani's "pleas" and posts and I think they're a crock of manipulative BS, whatever flak I'll get from Delta for that. These alliances make me...well, I was gonna say nervous, but not really. I can take 'em or leave 'em. I may join/agree with them at some point. I may not. I dig the total indy factor of this game, so I might keep it that way for myself. Low posters, well, I could see myself voting that way too, as mid/high posters keep the game going, but would that be hypocritical of me? I suppose it depends on what counts as a low poster. Also, people say they'll vote poor Made but damn, I haven't played with that fool in ages and I'd like him to last a little longer.

Hmm. I thought talking it out via post would help me vote. I was wrong. And probably unhelpful to the extreme.

I can't believe you are making a whores group without me

never without you! You are automatically a whore, no need to say it - like SVS and Kate it is in our nature

It was a joke but if people want to join my Omega Whore group you can but you will have to prove yourself an actual whore first

Do I need to take two at once or will one at a time do?

I was first going to comment on this post something like, "ooo, this could be fun!" But now I just want to punch my husband in the nuts.

Do it.

Omega Whore works for you. You're the last whore I'd go for.

Well, that certainly works in my favor for LMS, now doesn't it?

haha, I find the number of showers method hilarious. I usually take one a day, but today I actually considered working out twice and taking two, but I think I will refrain now :P

Just take three and it'll all be good.

I guess that could work. BTW its good to have you here this game. I've missed you during your move/job transition.

I have missed you and mafia, as well! I need the break to do all of the RL stuff so badly, but I think I'm getting back into the swing of things. This seems like the perfect game to do so

Well, I like fun, and I like to laugh, and people's failing makes me laugh. That and really, really corny jokes.
