And I was right, I tried to kill SVS because I thought she was the last Wildhorn. I just didn't expect her to have a protect, without that Team Weber could have won.
Dom, will you post a list of the correct answers to the trivia? I want to know which one I missed.
Scotty was pretty spot on with his protects. Timmer also blocked the killers pretty often.Golden wrote:What I want to know is how all the survivals came about?
Night 8 was Wildhorn.Metalmarsh89 wrote:I went to the trouble of researching the different musicals to see who was killing who. I just wanted to be right.Golden wrote:And....
Who was responsible for the attemp on scotty on night 8... was it team wildhorn all along? MM was so obsessed with an unknown force, but I think it was just wildhorn.![]()
One thing that no one else noticed that I did. Starlight Express nightkilled on Night 3 even though Starlight Express (sig) was lynched Day 3. My reasoning wasn't perfect, but that was still more consistent than the Night 8 kill.
I effed up. The kill would have failed, so I wrote it into N5's post.Scotty wrote:Argh. What an agonizing loss. This game pulled at my heart strings. I have the answers to trivia on a doc at home because I love this shit.
I love musical theater, which is most of the reason I even came here. So it pains me that I died right before trivia, where I would have won something most likely. Ah well.
I think I matured in my mafia-life a lot through this game. Thank you Dom for hosting- I had a blast.
You're welcome.Golden wrote:I don't know why I survived the night 2 attempted kill. But I'm glad I did.
I also saved Sloonei Day 3. And then, I got really pissed off because I started saving people in the order they were killed, but the day before they were killed. And I couldn't save the same person in a row.
Here's my save list:
N1- no one
N2- Golden (saved)
N3- Sloonei (saved)
N4- Golden
N5- Sloonei (It was 50/50 with FZ. FZ dies)
N6- timmer (wanted Sloonei, but can't protect 2 in a row, Sloonei dies)
N7- Golden (wanted timmer, but can't protect 2 in a tow, timmer dies)
N8- JJJ (my first pass)
N9- Epi (I dead)
Golden had me fooled. Thought he was civ early game for sure. Got me really curious why no one was killing him as we went on after Day 7 though.
The 2 times Dom had to correct a mistake and make people miraculously come back to life? He forgot about my save n2 on Golden, and forgot about my ability to survive a lynch on n9.
I thought I was doing a great doctor role early game, and then backed up and screwed it up after night 4.
Btw @Dom, why did no one kill on n4?
I was so sure it was Pacific Overtures that I didn't even consider changing that answer.Dom wrote: #6) Stephen Sondheim writes politically. Which of his musicals is often looked at as a mirroring of American Foreign policy in the post-war era?
This was easily the hardest question. I ended up accepting two answers here. My intended answer was Merrily We Roll Along (if you view Frank has the current president for whatever year the show is currently in, it's quite interesting). Foreign Policy might have been a bit too restrictive of wording, but the show constantly reminds you of Vietnam, Cuba, and Kennedy.
Rob linked me to a scholarly article about The Frogs being an allegory for US foreign policy, so I allowed it.

Yeah, but I assumed it was also meant to thematically evoke East-West relations since then with the whole American imperialism thing, which is still an issue.Dom wrote:Pacific Overtures takes place in the 1800s.DFaraday wrote:I was so sure it was Pacific Overtures that I didn't even consider changing that answer.Dom wrote: #6) Stephen Sondheim writes politically.

This is Flash all over. The annoying part is, we did take out all the active mafia players. It's hard to judge players who substitute a non active player so late in the game.

Next to impossible.
I don't know why Webber killed Epi on Night 1, but we tried to kill him on Night 2 because he was after me hard on a whim on Day 1, and we were happy to see him go because of it. Only some crazy random happenstance allowed him to keep breathing on Day 3 and beyond. If Epi wants to survive longer, the first step would be not to come after Long Con hard for no real reason on Day 1.Epi, I don't know why they NK you. The difference between your first and second version was striking. I thought you did a good job making sure it was obvious.People die for that. Good to know for the future.
That was something I would have said were I Civvie, Indy, baddie, or something else. You could come after me every time for a statement like that, and you will end up getting lucky some of the time. It was simply my thoughts on the very few things that had happened on Day 0, not some setup for "a license" to come after either of you at some point.Epignosis wrote:You used empty rhetoric ("I find the MP / Epi thing interesting and would like to see how that plays out.")Long Con wrote:The Flash win was one of the most impressive wins in Mafia history, to be quite honest and to toot our own horn.

That indicated to me that you were bad, and pushing it confirmed that for me. It wasn't a whim. It was observing your language. It wasn't something you would ordinarily say. It gave you license to vote either MP or me if things went that way, then you could fill in the blank later.
To you tell you the truth, I was a little shocked that you were that obvious.
Fair enough. I know you have excellent Mafia instincts, and that I'm often a pretty sloppy player... I just know that when I wrote the statement that you saw as a way to implicate you and MP, that such a thing was not on my mind when I said it.Epignosis wrote:There's more to it than that, but I will keep the rest to myself.

I know I commented on it immediately after Golden posted. I'm surprised nobody used that to make a case I was on your team.G-Man wrote:Just want to say that this was a fun game to follow. Not so much a fun game to participate in but that'll happen when you sub in for someone who made themselves look guilty to the extreme and got busted commenting on his departure from the game on another mafia site mere minutes before being introduced as a replacement. I was doomed from the start but I think I made the most of it by leaving virtually no trace of alignment to my teammates. I even ignored our BTSC chat room for days on end while I was alive. And by now you all know I can't help myself when it comes to writing silly after-death posts.![]()
Overall, I have to say that was one of the most difficult scenarios I have ever faced. Not stressful in the slightest but difficult because I had no motivation for getting into the game or even attempting to put up a front to make up for my predecessor. I will say that I was surprised that outside information was allowed to be used against me/my predecessor. Was there any discussion about that from the mod side of the site? I'm not whining and playing the Unfair Card or anything (because my predecessor did enough damage to make his baddie status evident). Maybe I'm just being too old school in my thought process but I remember back when you weren't supposed to use external information as evidence in a game.
I guess there's a relationship here akin to don't be an asshat / don't get butt-hurt. Don't bring evidence in from other forums and don't run your mouth about a game in progress on another forum. Does that make sense? Not looking to start a thing here or get anyone in trouble. Just getting it off my chest.
Regardless, I have no regrets helping out an old acquaintance and subbing into this game. After all, I did manage to out-live Long Con.How you guys let that happen is beyond me.
