I cursed you by giving you a gun

It's because I gave jack the gun so he had to kill me since he was the granny. He was the one person that I was most certain was civ since no one ever counter claimed. And Jay ended up being sabotaged so it's a good thing I didn't give it to him.

I actually quite enjoyed this game. And I'm glad the gun I gave helped kill off one of the mafia. Made my death worthwhile.

We have enough "confirmed Civs" to give each a gun and get this thing done with a mass execution. Is that just a crazy idea with a huge flaw? Maybe. Just deciding who's getting my gun tonight, and the thought came to me. So... DFaraday and Colin? Is that right?

No, not a gunsmith.

Santas have a gun to give out as well if they haven't done so already.


I'm still thinking Luna could be bad and I was suspicious of mac in the beginning and he has been pretty adamant about quin. Then when quin flipped town he was just like idk what's going on, but as I said it seems like no one really cares that quin got mislynched. Not even quin himself. The case against mac is plausible though and I could see him potentially being bad as well.

For me grad school was rough because it was 2 years worth of classes stuffed into one. So I graduated with my bachelor's and a week later began my master's. It was pretty crazy.



Also sorry for suspecting you quin. Interesting that no one discussed the fact that quin was a last minute vote switch and then flipped town. I mean yeah to be fair he was acting kinda sketchy, but it seems that should be kind of significant that so many votes went from one person to another who flipped town. Lunas defense was that she could be useful and would role claim to prove it but then says nah it doesn't matter anyway at this point. And then everyone went over and killed off quin. Is it possible this poll switch happened to save a teammate or is it solely because quin was acting weird?
Idk just a thought.

I also had considered the scenario of what if sloonei had shot speed in order to be like no I would never shoot my teammate and get all the town cred. Then go win the game for his team, but speed already was pretty likely to be lynched so he could have easily voted him to do that and then shot someone else. It wouldn't really make sense to waste a gunshot like that.

Out of the options in the poll now I'm most suspicious of Luna though I'm still iffy on quin too. I feel like he must have a vest or just wants to be out of the game. My phone is dying and I'm a little unsure of when this poll is actually supposed to end.
[VOTE: luna] aubergine

Idris Elba! <3 <3 <3

I agree Luna doesn't good and I looked at Quins posts and there's not much there that really looks great. He basically says he "thinks" he's town. He's super busy and doesn't care if anyone shoots him. He also said he's playing like he did in community where he was bad. Idk the way he talks feels like he's trying to look scummy on purpose.

Nutella
Quin

If Nutella is bad, that'd put in question one of LC/DF (at most one bad 'cause she had a real gun, possibly both good) . If she's good, someone slipped the crack. That someone would be between Luna and Mac.

I think Luna is highly deserving of stronger scrutiny. Her progression on speed felt funny to me.

I also was going to bring up how she picked her suspects because Jay agreed with her on those three. Was wondering if that was like if jay is town she would look better if she agreed with him kinda deal. Or it could be that she trusts his opinion but eh it looked weird to me.

Awesome! Good job sloonei!

Ive been leaning towards a speed suspicion. The way he was acting about shooting jack and everything. Seemed a bit over zealous about it. Idk he has been on the suspicious side to me this game. I planned on putting my vote there for now.

Mac seems a little more like typical mac now but for me it's hard to tell for sure if that means he's good or bad. Going with neutral for now.

In regard to that list..
DFaraday - I'd have to go back and look I don't remember anything he did or said.
Lunalee - was leaning scummy but unsure
nutella - nutella is wishy washy like dunya said and she shot leetic which is cool. Doesn't clear her completely. At first she seemed kind of iffy with the way she expressed her reads. I guess I'm wishy washy on how I feel about her haha.
Quin - idk I feel like he usually gets all angry when he's bad this game he's just busy and not around as much
sabie12 - seriously though it's never sabie. I always tell the truth no one listens then I die and everyone's like sabie was telling the truth whoops. I get it though I'm not as talkative so people don't know how to take me sometimes.

In reference to what's going on, on this page though. I did not receive a gun and I only ended up giving away an orb and that was to dunya who ended up dying.

Good job on killing off leetic whoever shot him!

Why claim if it's not verifiable?

People were talking about who got what items so I shared what little info I have regarding that.

So catching up didn't take nearly as long as I thought. So good job nutella for killing off leetic!
Though as people said now it kind of puts us back to square one since we can't glean as much from interactions and votes.
I'm surprised there hasn't been more craziness ensuing while I was gone.

RIP tsa and dunya

The one thing I'm guilty of is being bad at playing this game. I actually haven't been bad in years. At this point my crappy playstyle is what it is. The moment I start actually being good at this game is when you should be more worried.

dunya wrote: ↑Wed Mar 20, 2019 4:40 pm ^ you forgot sabie.

Why sabie? It sounds like it's because I haven't participated much? Which is kind of my usual initially as the game gets going.

Maybe. I don't think so.

I think the fact that he seems to be saying it's okay if civs accidentally get shot just go shoot and hope for the best under the guise of scum hunting vigilante would be more of a reason to potentially suspect him. Or perhaps he's just super confident in his ability to find the baddies.

So I've been at work all day. Just read the million posts that happened while I was gone. All this talk about giving guns just keeps making me think of the part in the show Misfits where Kelly says to Nathan I'm not getting a dickhead, like you, a gun. Haha
I couldn't find a good gif or picture of it to share unfortunately blah.


Sounds like some people are all let's go into the next day guns blazin literally (epi's favorite word) and some are like ehhh be more careful. I'm more on the cautious side of things. I'm sure the day phase is going to be super crazy. Idk I feel like the people who wanna use their guns right away and are overzealous about it are a little more likely to be bad because the mafia teams can just shoot whoever and be like whoops killed a civ oh well.

I feel like I would get pretty discouraged about that after awhile. I've seen it happen with players on here but not typically the hosts. At least not with the games I've played.

I appreciate not being lynched, but don't let non-game related news sway the game. Also sorry I didn't say I'd be away, I had an ultimate frisbee game this evening.

You could injure the unborn child by shattering a Frisbee across the dear thing's fontanelle. You have so much to learn.

I'm being careful! No laying out for the disc, and only playing spring league this year.

Hey congrats! That's exciting!


In other news...soooo like I hope spirityo is okay. I had D and D and fell asleep so wasn't really around for end of day much but it looks like the host wasn't either.

maybe that was nutella of a different era, but nutella today has strong opinions. like very strong. stronger than that cuban coffee strong. she's wishy washy as hell, but still opinionated.

I was going to disagree with you, but then you said how she is wishy washy and I would agree there. I'm thinking of last game she was quick to change her vote depending on what other people were saying. I am also wishy washy at times though so I can't fault anyone for that.

Also is there one of those lists where we can ISO players? I play on my phone so I don't have an easy way to do that.

I don't like this post. It's like she's trying to disagree with dunya but come across like she's discerning and not just being agreeable. It's a soft defence of nutella too. I am not sure why she would be trying to disarm dunya at this stage of the game.

how was she trying to disarm my post? i didn't get that sort of reaction reading it.

It wouldn't be effective if it was obvious. By stating that she was going to disagree she is affirming that she went into the conversation with a predisposition to nutella = civ. She didn't want to butt heads with you directly so she gave you some indication that she understood your point before explaining that to her being wishy washy isn't actually a bad thing. Then she pivoted into a completely different point so as to not draw attention to the prior point which indicates she was afraid of making it. It's weird and I don't like it.

i like ur frame of mind

All I meant by that was that I read the first part of her post which says nutella has strong opinions and in my mind I was disagreeing due to nutella often seeming to quickly change her mind on things. Then she said she is wishy washy so I was agreeing with that part of it that I do think she is wishy washy but that's how she was last game and she was town.

Fell asleep last night. I guess at this point I have some suspicion on speed for wanting to get rid of low posters and shoot everyone. And I feel like I've seen more sketchy speed than town speed in games lately and to me so far he seems more on the scummy side. Voting Mac for his lack of wanting to read and catch up on anything or really wanting to figure out anything. I see votes on him which seem like as I said before a mix of people trying to push him to participate more and some suspicion based on the way he's posting.

Sloonei is difficult because I thought last game he seemed off and not his usual self at first but then got more into it and he was town. Seems like that's kinda what might be happening again.

Jack I can see why people suspect him but he seems like hes playing more like he did in world asunder when he was town. When he was scummy last game he seemed at first to suspect his teammates and was all calm and town like. When he was town he was over zealous and all over the place. At least that's how I've seen a contrast.


Currently [VOTE: mac] aubergine
I'll be back after work.

Are you voting him to get him to talk more or out of suspicion? He doesn't seem to care much about reading and catching up this game. I guess if he's bad he doesn't need to.

What would give you the impression that I don’t care about such and such?

If you're asking me I was referring to mac who said he didn't want to read all the pages he missed to catch up.

If I can read 100 pages of the Bell Jar, you can read 20 pages of this game

I remember that book. It was depressing. AP English was tough since our teacher really didnt prepare us for the exam. Good luck!

This game has been a little tough to catch up on but I've been doing my best.

MacDougall wrote: ↑Mon Mar 18, 2019 5:15 pm Sabie you were lynched already lol

Wow I got mislynched before Day 1 even started? And didn't know about it. That's gotta be a record of some sort



Also, I'm sure dunyas sister is a lovely person haha


Also also in looking back I now see where nutella suspicion was more addressed.


Luna I was just saying you were iffy because of seeming like you didn't care that someone was mafia if they posted a lot and got the conversation going.

Okay so while I was at work people were talking about hooking people up, who's dating who etc. Maybe that's really what the UN talks about when they meet
Why is everyone trying to date dunyas sister? Haha

I'll have to go back more to see what else is happening and catch up there's a lot. I notice nutella no longer has votes although I was iffy on her yesterday. Luna is iffy. I get why she says we need people who get the discussion going but we should care if those people are scummy or not.

I already didn't like her thread presence early on in a gut sense, and then she started invoking meta style claims and that came across as hella fake and ass-cover-y

Nutella what's your reason for suspecting sloonei? Im curious because you have reasons for your dunya suspicion as do others it seems but you voted sloonei. Sloonei how do you feel about her voting you?
