A Mafia of Unfortunate Events [END GAME]

[Jackofhearts2005]

Fwiw Jack, LoRab has zero votes.

That was meant to be a hypothetical but I left off an "if."

Dislike Daisy's vote. Dislike MP's more but I've discussed mafia theory enough this game.

I actually find Dom's relative silence and post about Klaus and cult worse than the other two low posters we were discussing. Not that a one post read is worth much on D1.

[Soneji]

Am I allowed to vote 'We Didn't Start The Fire'? I'm really not liking the look of those leading wagons...

Why?
Who would you like to vote for, grand elf?

I don't think I've seen sufficient genuine content so far to make a judgement to be honest, my friend - and yes, I know I bear some responsibility for that... Of the current wagons, MM's looks the most pure but from my recollection, the poor guy gets lynched early every game I play with him

You haven't seen sufficient enough content to make your own case on anyone but somehow have seen enough to not like the look of the leading wagons. If you don't like the look of them, think of why that is and go from there. You might find yourself thinking that the wagons are scum motivated and look into those voting on them.

You are only allowed to vote "I didn't start the fire but I watched the house burn while sitting on the fence", at this point.

I voted sprityo to break the tie between him and DDL. I didn't get a chance to look at sprityo, nor DDL for that matter. But y'all left me to break a tie, so

Here's a list of players who missed the vote (including sprityo).

• Dom
  DrWilgy
  Elohcin
  Epignosis
  Glorfindel
  LoRab
  Marco
  Nachomamma8
  soup
  sprityo

I would like to point out (for the record) my friend that I did not 'miss' the vote. I deliberately withheld mine. I was faced with a choice between two players of which I was unwilling to support either.

Why wouldn't you random or self-vote in this scenario?

  Epignosis*
  Glorfindel**
  LoRab
  Marco
  Nachomamma8

  sprityo

*Promised to read and vote. Appears to be unfaithful.
**Deliberately withheld vote.

How is my wagon pure? Zebra didn't read my posts properly and I don't even know why Daisy is voting for me (aside from gut).

If you joined it, it would be pure. But I don't want that.

I mean that I feel very confident in Daisy and Zebs being Town. That doesn't mean I necessarily agree with them however. I'm not voting for you right now.

Looks like you didn't vote for anyone right now. Who would you have voted if you were required to place a vote today?

I have an idea but I need to do some considerable research to support my choice. I am unwilling to nominate who they were/are at this point because the last thing I want to do is falsely accuse someone of being Mafia (granted not something most people have an issue with around here ).

I've been over this before, my friend. In my book, self voting is nearly always the worst choice you can make in any lynch vote whether you're a viable option or not.

I hear your plea but the fact of the matter is it's day 1 and unless you have info on something, you're probably going to be taking a stab in the dark.

Hell, that's why I target no-shows first.

I'm very curious as to what "research" you could be taking at this point in the game. It's all hear-say without lynch results

[insertnamehere]

@ISH : Ties are most definitely not fun for anyone trying to take this game seriously.

It's the rare form of "reaction-baiting" I find somewhat useful, in that it forces others to show their cards.

I also thought along the same lines as Daisy that the people involved in the Snow Dog kerfuffle were more likely to be civilian than those who avoided it, so I felt slightly better about DDL.

Plus, I know from experience that DDL can sometimes say things that cause others to gang up on him. *cough*Haiku Mafia*cough*

The only thing I accused you of was fence-sitting.

With one of your latest posts we can add actively avoiding stepping on toes to your list of crimes.

@ISH : Fair enough.

[Jackofhearts2005]

Sorta figured out how to ISO on this board.

Okay with Soirityo lynch. Like Lorab much better. Like Dom a bit worse. Macro about the same.

that's your opinion, compadre.

[Jackofhearts2005]

Posting edit whatever

"Like" means "like to keep around" not "like for a lynch."

[Scotty]

I just wanna say that I love you all and wish you happy holidays this season.

also I'm sorry if I contribute to killing you and you flip good.

Day 1 - The Blurry Bludgeoning

Having walked along Lousy Lane for many miles, tempers flared in a manner reminiscent of the unfortunate event which precipitated (a word which here means "was the entire reason for") their trek eastward. It is sadly very often the case that when one is angry, one will lash out at those nearby for any reason. I have experienced this regrettable behavior myself, when a dear friend of mine undergoing a great deal of stress responded to my rather flamboyant necktie by hurling a live badger in my direction. Badgers, much like lynch mobs, do not care whether their victim is innocent.

Sprityo had had the misfortune to wander off the lane some ways, due to his failing eyesight. Several of the already angry members noticed his departure, and this led to a formation of the metaphorical badger which would metaphorically claw out Sprityo's life.

The crowd easily caught up with Sprityo, then set upon him fiercely, beating him with the picnic basket and stomping him in a rather catchy rhythm. The poor man's glasses soon shattered into thousands of tiny fragments, his bones soon doing the same.

Sprityo has been lynched, and was Hal.

It is now Night 1. You have 23 hours to get your PMs in.

[Scotty]

Oh.

Oh no

[Long Con]

Hope we got a scummy scum in sprityo!

Here, Sorsha :

Spoiler: show

I condensed it for easier loading; is it big enough? And I spoilered it for folks on mobile devices. That's what people like, right?

Linki: Oh. RIP Sprit, sorry.

Looks up Hal again: fuck fuck fuck fuck

[Marmot]

Dang! He coulda rechecked Snow Dog and told us his role.

[Glorfindel]

And there you go... vindicated again!

[Sorsha]

Thanks long con

Rip spirityo

[Long Con]

And there you go... vindicated again!

When were you vindicated before?

Also: "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." :/

[Scotty]

Because of course the cop dies day 1.

Your parents may have walked uphill both ways in the snow barefoot to school, but now we have to do all of that without pants.

I'm sorry sprityo. What a shitty way to go. I take responsibility for that one.

[insertnamehere]

And there you go... vindicated again!

you did literally nothing.

you aren't vindicated, you're irrelevant.

[Spacedaisy]

Well shit. That was bad.

Jack: Could you tell me what you dislike?

[Glorfindel]

And there you go... vindicated again!

Thank you, my friend. I appreciate your opinion - it helps me a lot.

[Long Con]

Damn, yo, what vindication? What if DDL is a baddie? Your vote would have tied them up, and maybe changed EVERYTHING. It's a scotche early to be proclaiming "vindication".

[DFaraday]

[Golden]

Shitty lynch, but I'll admit I would have voted sprit if I had to choose between the two main wagons. Ddl suspicion be damned, I feel like I'm always on the dude, and sprit fit Daisy's concept well.

Maybe violet can invent a Rez machine.

i made a reads list on 11 people including a full ISO of soneji today and no-one even acknwledged it. Not saying that to be bitchy, but We're going to struggle if we don't engage with each other.

[DFaraday]

The former beachgoers, feeling rather weary after an afternoon of murder, soon stumbled upon a most peculiar house at the end of Lousy Lane. Upon venturing inside, they found a dazzling assortment of reptiles from all over the world. The group made a unanimous (a word which here means "extremely ill-advised") decision that spending the night in the Reptile Room, surrounded by dozens of snakes, was the safest option available.


CONTEST! Any player who wants to do so may send the host a description of a peculiar reptile during Night 1. The player with the most original creature will get a prize.

Dr. Montgomery Montgomery – Uncle Monty is one of the few kind, reasonable people in this story. He will protect a player every night by hiding them in his Reptile Room.

I hope we're all protected tonight!

Interesting. Golden, you're a strong willed/strong minded player, why did you feel the need to reference my "concept" regarding the lynch and then to turn around and complain about people not paying attention to your reads? That just reads all kinds of wrong to me.

I like your concept.

[Golden]

By the way, I'm not complaining about people not paying attention to my reads. I'm providing an example which is s symptom of what I'm seeing generally which is lack of engagement, which is exactly what your concept was about.

DDL was, at least, engaged.

[Spacedaisy]

Ok, copy that. I follow you now. It felt like you were subtly trying to put responsibility squarely in my shoulders. I misread your intent all around it seems.

[Long Con]

Yeah, I agree that you read that wrong. I think Golden makes a good point, and I for one intend to go back and engage his post. It just didn't happen tonight because I was more focused on writing a long damn email to try and deal with some all-too-real-life stuff that's somewhat stressful. Golden's got the seed planted to blossom into real Mafia-finding discussion, which seems to be something this game is lacking at the moment.

[sprityo]

Hey guys what did I mi-

oh, I guess a guy can't go enjoy his evening without being lynched

[Golden]

I'm not that subtle.

But no, quite the opposite. You are one of the towniest in my eyes. I haven't read the end of day well enough to analyse if anyone's votes are suspicious, but I think the result lies on all of us collectively (me included) for not engaging well.

Not that we could have known what role it was. That's just bad luck.

[Quin]

I have returned and I regret having done so already

[Jackofhearts2005]

Well shit. That was bad.

Jack: Could you tell me what you dislike?

About your vote?

You express suspicion about Markot like 5 times and explain this suspicion of him 1 time, weakly, by qualifying your reasons with "I think" after expressing suspicion of several other players for the same thing but without the qualifier.

Why MM over the others you said were posting but not engaging? You mention MM a lot more but don't give more reasons for voting for him.

[Marmot]

LOL, MM I was only kidding about the mafia and driving thing. That had no bearing.

Ok, why did you vote for me?

I would also like an answer Daisy.
