I won't listen to Pet Sounds the same after that.

Goodness, you don't know how long I was contemplating for.

I can't imagine how nervous you must have been.

Way to go Floyd. Congrats.

+1

Floyd, I feel as though you started showing some comfort this game. Keep it up, you're definitely developing your style.

Cheers MP, and Mac

Indeed, you guys really earned the win. I'm glad you got it in the end.

Diiny really had too much of a nerve about him from the start, that was really his downfall IMO.

My first assumption of you, MP, was purely me trying to offer some reason why Zebra was night killed and someone like myself wasn't.

Nevertheless, well done Mafia, made us work hard.

Sweet, good game everyone.

Any MVP voting, Marsh?

Are you still interested in the Tame Impala game I'm trying to eventually set up?
And anyone else, for that matter?

Good game, well done everyone.

Motel Room

Mac's extroverted desperation is what gets me and it's not out of character. If Motel Room was town, he'd be doing the same.

this is floyd's best post.

I wouldn't have been happy with anything but a similar response thing to Epi's comment about being called Epi, and he questions epi's stance on him as you'd expect. I'd like to see a bit more ferocity, but going on a per-post makes it better. Not that I'm condoning his low post count and that he seems to still be focusing almost entirely on himself. I doubt he'd have questioned epi if he wasn't crusading against him.

Still a scum read.

The text highlighted in blue is completely out of Diiny's normal style. If anything, it's sounds more like something Triple J would say.

Anyway, with MP, I was perplexed with Zebra's extermination, where I couldn't find anyone to show any reason to have Zebra lynched. MP's rainbow displaying Zebra towards the bottom was a very minor detail and I almost passed it off as nothing. But I did feel it was something I should express.

Now, with Sig's recent untimely death, it appears that whoever the remaining scum is, they very intelligently thought through the consequences of a certain lynch.

Mac and Motel clearly show convincing statuses upon one another, leading myself, personally to believe that one or the other is scum. If one of the two mentioned was night killed, myself and Sig would have voted for the remaining player.

Night killing me would have brought more-experienced Sig in my seat of contention (with Mac and Motel at one another) of the last remaining vote.

Night killing Sig would have more manipulative me in this seat.

Mac's ordering towards me can either express two things:
1. He's town with desperation to win (which he has shown in other games).
2. He's scum trying to take advantage of me for a scum win.

Motel is, at this stage, trying to defend himself, no matter what his role is.

Reading both of you're plays this game now.

YES!!!

Look, Motel, Mac. All three of us believe MP is scum. Let's just lynch him and then progress from there.

Epignosis wrote:In case I go down today:

MovingPictures can't read me for shit, and he's pretending to here. He is MAFIA.

He has defended Diiny all game. Diiny is MAFIA.

The third member is up in the air for me, but MacDougall doesn't look good, though neither does motel room. It would be up to you to figure that out.

Does that mean my theory about MP that I stated early should be properly taken into contention?

Anyway, we finally lynched someone from the Mafia, thank goodness.

I want to hear from you why this makes him bad, please.

I saw no one else with any motivation for Zebra to be exterminated or lynched. I'm not claiming for certain MP is scum, it's only a theory that I've created.

Dinny

I don’t understand this post at all. Youranswer to Dinny asking you to make a game post is to give a sarcastic answer and vote for him?

You're kidding, right? I gave a more detailed reason to vote for Diiny than some players (both in this game and in other games).

For example:

a2thezebra wrote:

Diiny wrote:If a tree wins a poll in the forest but nobody is around to hear it, does it get lynched?

I don't know, Diiny.

I'm not pinging Zebra as scum, but I clarifying that voting in this way is alright with some players, but not me apparently.

sig wrote:Quick thought Mac is calling Floyd inexperienced, I disagree compared to some of you yes, but if we are comparing like that then I'm also inexperenced and should be able to get out of lynched/posting.

Have I ever mentioned that I should get out of being lynched? I understand that even with my lack of skill, if I get lynched, wether it's day one or day twelve, it's the way of the game. What the fuck are you implying?

TheFloyd73 wrote:Diiny

This man has voted for me three times. Once for alleged hypocrisy. Once for a self preservation vote despite me explaining to him why townies self preserve. And here again. Who knows why?

Floyd, why don't you explain your votes? Why do you have so little content on anyone else? Why are you so reluctant to play mafia? Don't give me anything about you being bad at mafia, because you're not incapable of explaining yourself. I'd be willing to believe you were a struggling townie if I saw any real struggle or drive from you to grapple with the game.

Why doesn't everyone explain their votes? When did I ever vote for you as self preservation? I've voted for you again because it's simple, you're scum.

I'm not reluctant to play Mafia, have I not explained this before?

What is that meant to mean?

Isn't it funny that Diiny has voted for the three civilians that have been lynched?

Players are NOT arranged alphabetically within groups; they are arranged by read.

Ugh, there was some movement, but my strong reads at both ends of the spectrum are gone. I'm not sure what to do with zebra; I didn't move her for now since I have no reason to, but I still find FZ. more suspicious than her.

MP's ranked Zebra the lowest out of anyone. This was day two. Plus, MP's comment after Triple J was lynched (whom he voted for, with pretty good intent) was less than sentimental.

MovingPictures07 wrote:Well, that sucks ass. RIP JJJ.

In other news for those of you who aren't in Star Wars, I destroyed my final.

does anyone reckon Mp might be scum?

I loathe these long posts, I agree with Epi on that one.

Why haven't we lynched Diiny yet?

You actually make a very good point here. With my inexperienced and (self-confessed) awful Mafia skills, I do tend to focus on myself. I've done it on other games as well, I know. Epi's played in the same games as me a couple of times, so he's picked up the style of my generally awful play.

What I'm about to explain can prove Epi to be either town or scum, but what you decide it up to you.

You've got to pick up the easy meat with your eyes closed.

(I'm a Floyd fan, what do you expect?)

If Epi is scum, he's trying to rid of the easy meat (AKA me) to make a jump start on us.
If Epi is town, he's trying to rid of the easy meat (AKA me) as he assumes I'm an easy scum target.

Anyway, thanks for the compliment Diiny.

Floyd, I don't recall any thoughts you've made on Diiny to explain your vote here or previously. Care to provide some insight?

Voted Enrique, inconsistent chat (my reason for voting on day one is an example).

Epignosis wrote:3J defends you to the degree of making me look bad.

You call me Epi (have we ever played together to any extent?).

Now a question for you: What is this:

2. Epi has done his only clever motion this game, but still wants me exterminated.

What does that mean?

You put it on yourself, man. I have no idea what you've got against me, but whatever it is, just share it.

Motel's vote for Dfaraday is the one the also perplexes me.

I mean of the five votes for enrique.

Epi mentioned the fact that Mac voted for Enrique, despite saying he was "confirmed scum".

Enrique

JaggedJimmyJay (11), DrWilgy (12), MovingPictures07 (13), MacDougall (15), Diiny (16)
31%

After that turnaround, after having agreed (er, not disagreed) with Mac's list of "confirmed townies," after witnessing Mac put the deciding vote on Enrique the cop, after all that, you don't have ONE thing to say about MacDougall?

Maybe I'm not so simple minded.

This actually perplexes me for two reasons.
1. What drew Mac to change his mind? (I may need to reread the thread for this).
2. Epi has done his only clever motion this game, but still wants me exterminated.

Epi, what makes you think that Triple J and I have any association with each other?

Floyd doesn't give me anything to convince anybody with. What would you have me do?

His only post today is "another needless last minute switch." When was there another last minute switch?

Are you really that simple minded? It's the reason why we lost out cop!

Look at the actual posts, I make a fair analysis of the guy, and if that wasn't fair enough after his vote I explain my stance further. Why did you see why he voted for me? Because I was the wagon and he's looking for an easy place to drop dat vote? Because I totally agree

Excuse me? Am I not permitted to engage in social activities and my essential education?
That is insanely rude of you to suggest I call you hypocritical (which I didn't) and leave.

He got decently involved and even put up a rainbow, but on Day 1 he was pretty quiet.

Bare in mind I'm still trying to find my feet. Usually if I notice something I want to make noted, someone already beats me to it. It also doesn't help I'm on a different time zone to everyone, the "rush hour" here tends to be while I'm at school, which is pretty inconvenient when you've got teachers breathing down your back.

I gotta ask, MM, what inspired you to base this around trees?
