Firefly, The Game [GAME OVER]

[Epignosis]

I'd like to offer spots on board this ship to the following players

DharmaHelper
Epignosis
Glorfindel
Golden
novaselinenever
nutella
speedchuck

I appreciate the offer, but I like my boat.

[Golden]

Assuming this is all kosher, I accept a spot aboard Macs Bonnie Mae

[MacDougall]

Just offering it to all my town reads in case y'all wondering.

[Turnip Head]

After being rebuffed by his first suitor, Turnip Head offers roses to [mention]speedchuck[/mention] and [mention]Glorfindel[/mention]

[Golden]

Mac, I’d recommend bringing on board DDL. You may not town read him, but you always must stick one on the poll. And if you’re wrong he’s good value.

[MacDougall]

MacDougall picked up a photo frame and stroked it with one finger. A tear gently rolling down his face.

He hung the frame on the wall of the ship and took a step back. He looked at it and smiled, fighting back tears.

"I'll make this right. I promise."

ColinIsCool, Wilgy and Lunalee's smiling faces looked back at him.

"You'll always have a place on my ship."

Are you admitting that you are the bad guy in this adventure story? Like did you just outright scum slip?

[MacDougall]

Mac does town things
Turnip Head loves him and wants him on his ship
Mac gets his own ship
Turnip Head wants to kill Mac

Pretty villainous.

[Epignosis]

Well, I'm tired. It's exhausting being a dad and taking your kids to the North Carolina Museum of Natural History, then playing basketball with them, traveling an hour and a half there and back, while hosting a game that has more fucking posts by Day 1 than this game has in its entirety, never mind having to make special spreadsheets for that game for another subset of players.

Gosh, I don't know where I've been Glorfindel.

[Glorfindel]

Spoiler: show

Who was it that lit the fire under that appalling Dr Wilgy wagon? Yes, our friend Epi with that excerpt of Dan’s post allegedly implicating Wilgy. I didn’t buy it and have been proven right in not having done so.

Here is where I discredit Glorfindel, just for fun.

I’ll confess, I’m a little conflicted about the poll as it is at present. The TH wagon itself looks kinda OK but I can’t quite fathom why friend Turnip Head is a wagon in the first place. If I was TH (Captain of a ship) and was Mafia and I knew that we’d have a potentially limited poll today (effectively 6 but it could’ve been less) I think it’d be a pretty ballsy (read idiotic) move to put myself on the poll as my team’s representative. Mind, I’m perplexed why he would do that if he were Town...?

Wilgy? OK, I’ll agree that mention of Dan’s is not a good look but on its own, I’m not sure how conclusive it is. I find the fact that Epi dropped that vote on Wilgy as he did and then promptly disappeared back into the inky void to be a trifle disconcerting.

Selecting someone from this list today is something of a conundrum...

I didn’t buy it and have been proven right in not having done so.

You say you didn't "buy" what I said about DrWilgy, but the above is the only comment you made about him in relation to that post. You said you agreed that the Sokoth mention was not good for him, but other than that, you said nothing about not "buying it." Might be the closest you've ever come to having told a lie, Glorfy. I'd love to have you on the dark side.

As far as I can tell, Glorfindel, you haven't voted for a single person to be lynched. You didn't vote Day 2. You didn't vote Day 3. I don't think you voted Day 1. Why not?

I'm going to be honest with you now: If you want to have a go at me for my vote, you need to be voting too. Calling Golden honorable means nothing to me. Saying you are a civilian means nothing to me. Helping a crew with a mission means nothing to me. None of it means anything to me if you don't vote to kill somebody.

So don't proclaim being a civilian. That doesn't help. Voting helps. Every Day. Even if it's for me.

Thank you Epi. You’ve proved my point. Even I wasn’t convinced by Dan’s reference to Wiley. “Not a good look” is nowhere near the same as the approach you took - being so convinced that Dan’s remark was evidence of Wilgy’s alignment that you chose to throw your vote on Wilgy then and there (if my memory serves me correctly. I called your approach disengenious and you trying to defend that here just makes it look more so. And no, I’m not going to vote to lynch someone I don’t think is bad - not even if you’re on their wagon. I will however happily vote for someone I do think is sus...

You called me "disconcerting" on Day 3, not "disingenuous."

Lie #2 Glorfindel.

I had more to say about Wilgy than what Sokoth said, but you're not here to vote out mafia anyway, so...

No, I called you disingenuous...

Spoiler: show

You are having me on, are you not?

No?

I’m not saying that you are wrong in the application of your logic and the conclusions that you’ve drawn but I fear that you are failing to keep an entirely open mind to what is happening in this game, my friend.

I don’t understand what you’re seeing. Can you be more clear?

Who was it that lit the fire under that appalling Dr Wilgy wagon? Yes, our friend Epi with that excerpt of Dan’s post allegedly implicating Wilgy. I didn’t buy it and have been proven right in not having done so. Yeah, it’s been an age since I’ve played here but my recollections of having played with Epi are still strong. The Epi I remember would never have accepted so blindly such a disingenuous case brought up by anyone else so why was he satisfied to do so himself on this occasion? Where is that laser-like analysis of which he is capable? Where in fact IS he? He’s barely posted. Why is no one talking about him? He’s one of the best and most experienced players on this site. I don’t know about you but I smell a very big, stinky rat...

You called a case disingenuous Day 4. Not Day 3, when Wilgy was still alive. When Wilgy was still alive, you called my activity "disconcerting." You never voiced a strong opinion against a Wilgy lynch, and now you're coming in here acting like you knew better even though you said nothing to defend him. I searched your posts. I know what you said and when.

I don’t mean to appear at all rude but may I ask why you’re still here? I think I’ve got a pretty good grasp of the prominent players on this site and to be honest, if I were Mafia, I’d consider having ‘Town Epi’ running free would be an unacceptable risk and NK the first chance I got. Just goes to show, the players that have been Nk’d seem harmless in comparison.

I don't mean to appear rude either, but if you were mafia, you wouldn't have the luxury of killing me, because I would have had you lynched Day 1 when you wouldn't say the magic words.

On the one hand, you've called me out for not being around, for "[accepting] so blindly a disingenuous case," (which was, my own case, and since I'm a civilian, it was decidedly not disingenuous), and now you're calling me out for not being dead.

Go on and marinate on that for a minute.

That is correct. I DID call a case disingenuous Day 4 - YOUR case against Dr Wilgy to be precise. I never voiced concern against a Wilgy lynch you say?

What if there's no bad guys on the poll

This very thought is starting to worry the living daylights out of me.

Very convenient you overlooked that, my friend. The way I see things is this: I know ‘Town Epi’. I’ve played many games here with ‘Town Epi’. I know how insightful and incisive and well considered are the conclusions of ‘Town Epi’. Sir, you’re no ‘Town Epi’.

[Turnip Head]

Mac does town things
Turnip Head loves him and wants him on his ship
Mac gets his own ship
Turnip Head wants to kill Mac

Pretty villainous.

That's just the first two acts of a five act play. Still plenty of room for the characters to grow....... Unless your ship unexpectedly explodes

[MacDougall]

Maybe we should lynch Turnip Head given he is a big man with a big ship

[Glorfindel]

Captain Golden (The Genius of The Syndicate) has become disgruntled and fired his entire crew.

@speedchuck
@Glorfindel
@Marmot
@Dragon D. Luffy

You are all now free agents. If you don’t find a new position by the end of the poll, you will not be allowed to post during N4 and will be on the Day 5 lynch poll. Good luck!

I refuse to be fired. I don’t accept this. I am appealing this decision on the grounds that Cap was under intense duress at the time of making this decision and hence it was invalid (there is ALWAYS grounds for temporary incapacity in these things). I will remain on board the Bonnie Mae with my Captain thank you very much.

[Turnip Head]

stop it

[Golden]

Glorf

it's ok man. If I give in to duress clearly I don't have the right emotional temperament to be the captain. And besides, it was part emotional (I want Mac to see how hard it is to actually be in the captain shoes) but it was part rational as well - Mac is also a good choice. He has my support.

[Golden]

This is what my crew should be saying:

[Golden]

I was hoping I'd get to use that quote on someone who quit or tried to mutiny on me lol.

Lol I'm sorry mate I am a father of two and run a business that employs a dozen people between the age of 18 to 25. I am pretty sure I can handle the duties of pretend ships captain on a forums mafia game.

No, no, you're already doing it wrong. You have to play up how hard it is

[MacDougall]

The only thing hard about it is that I now have to meme post against the two best meme posters on the site.

I think I need to reinvent myself into a shitposting marmot/TH style of player.

[nutella]

DH has negan and TH has Daenerys. You have to find your HBO character.

[nutella]

Wait negan isn't actually HBO is he damn it thought I had a clever thing going

[MacDougall]

DH has negan and TH has Daenerys. You have to find your HBO character.

The best HBO character:

I’m going to post nothing but Tony Soprano GIFs in my next game

[Dragon D. Luffy]

[Dragon D. Luffy]

Tell me this isn't all to lynch me.

I'm not worth all that drama and effort.

[Turnip Head]

Tell me this isn't all to lynch me.

DDL please tap your heels together three times and say Yunqui

[Dragon D. Luffy]

Lemme catch up first.

[MacDougall]

You're going to invite DDL on board your ship? Do you think he is town?

I would hope your crew are prepared to mutiny if they feel similar to me.

[Epignosis]

Sir, you’re no ‘Town Epi’.

Strike three.

[Turnip Head]

You're going to invite DDL on board your ship? Do you think he is town?

I've got a leash for him

[Dragon D. Luffy]

Actually sure why not.

DDL accepts TH's offer to take a position in the Yun Qui.

[Dragon D. Luffy]

I told you guys, I don't get mislynched in this site. Give up, it doesn't happen.

[MacDougall]

DDL please don't get mad.

[MacDougall]

I told you guys, I don't get mislynched in this site. Give up, it doesn't happen.

So when we lynch you tomorrow you'll flip Mafia. Cool. Thank you for making this easy.

Turnip Head if you don't put him on the poll I am going to post so mad at you.

[Turnip Head]

Easy, tiger

[MacDougall]

Don't make me use caps Turnip Head.

[Dragon D. Luffy]

I told you guys, I don't get mislynched in this site. Give up, it doesn't happen.

Turnip Head if you don't put him on the poll I am going to post so mad at you.

So this is the part where I say something like "man after I flip civ it will be so satisfying to see you realize that you have wasted all this effort on me".

Except I just remembered you replaced in like yesterday and that I'm mistaking you for the other resident sarcastic dudebro, DH. Who was pretty keen on attacking me in the first one or two days but has since then stopped talking about it. Or doing anything memorable. Actually it does seem like he has an acceptable post count but I'm struggling to find anything remarkable.

Where is DH and why did we let him go MIA?

[Turnip Head]

This is the weirdest lynch

I would like to think that I am not generally considered a "sarcastic dudebro".

[Dragon D. Luffy]

The point is that I've been meaning to give DH a "told you so" moment for a long time then at some point he vanished and got replaced by a clone that looks like Mac.

I mean telling that to Mac is satisfying but it's not the same thing.

[Dragon D. Luffy]

I've hardly had scum suspicion aside from DDL

Translation: I found a popular wagon that lets me coast on and not do any further effort in pretending to hunt people.

[Dragon D. Luffy]

I cannot see any push on Golden?

He had three votes on him at the time. 2 from inactives who voted him without saying anything, and 1 from... I dunno, some OMGUS dude.

[Dragon D. Luffy]

So my logic was simple: there is one guy I'm wanting to lynch here: Enrique. There are two people with a realistic chance of being lynched: Golden and Mac. One of them I'm reading as a civ. The other is Mac.

[Dragon D. Luffy]

Why is nobody listening to me. I am actually pointing out important stuff here. This game is paralysed by idiocy.

You know what you feel like to me?
