Ok I am obviously shit at this game. I have concentrated so much on my conviction that poor Boogs was bad I am not sure who else is suspect.

The fact that Epignosis led the hunt on lynching two baddies from the same team doesn't rule him out from being on the Town Goblin team does it?

Also any baddies amongst the Boogs voters possibly? I mean besides me and CBK who were after him from the beginning for genuine reasons I believe.

Nope. No possibility at all.

You know who else isn't cleared from being a Townie Goblin? Literally everyone.

Yes, let's egg on a lynch train on someone else as long as it isn't you.

Consider Snow Dog's post:

There's a possibility I'm a Townie Goblin when in fact there is a possibility anyone right now is a Townie Goblin. But for some reason, he raises my name. However, because he and CBK voted for Boogs out of "genuine reasons," that precludes him and her from being bad.

Logic, folks.

I think someone mentioned lynching her or AP because they needed to be replaced as a way to get out of lynching Boogs, for some reason people felt good about Boogs. I'm not quite sure if they were good at reading Boog's playstyle or they were part of the team that hasn't lost any members and just didn't think Boogs was the remaining member.
I don't like to entertain the idea of lynching those who are going to be modkilled, but I was starting to get a bit suspicious of Lizzy because of her suspicion related to me. She was suspicious of me for something I didn't think made all that much sense (because originally I didn't mention Epi and instead said I thought I knew who I would vote vote and later changed my mind), and kind of refused to accept my explanation. So, I'm still cautious of her/you, now. She sided against me pretty hard in the FZ debate although FZ had done something similar to what I had done and FZ herself was saying it wasn't abnormal of us. So I'm really not sure, originally I felt it was genuine but looking back, IDK.
AP didn't get votes for needing to be replaced. He was put forward as a better lynch candidate than Boogs based on his evasive and blendy voting behaviours being quite suspicious.

I wouldn't say you're that bad at mafia Snow, I think you make quite a good baddie :P

Epig isn't ruled out as bad, but then again nor is anyone else. Also definitely baddies amongst the Boogswagoners definitely. It was an easy case to latch on to and hide in the bandwagon as a blendy baddie. That said, I see no reason to exclude you or CBK either. All of you could do with a good looking at I think.

I did think it was off how he threw your name specifically out there as a goblin but didn't really back it up with anything more than stating the obvious. Combined with throwing out AP as someone to easily bandwagon tomorrow (because he did get 7 votes today, seems reasonable to assume he could get more next time) and throwing every Boogs voter but himself and CBK under the bus, Snow is getting my attention quickly.

Going back to the Boogs voters for a second, Snow was last to vote. He now says that only he and CBK had genuine reasons to vote Boogs. Therefore he voted for someone who had five 'non-genuine' votes when Snow threw his down. Why would you vote for someone when you think most of their voters weren't voting for genuine reasons?

It was sincere. And was it eager? I am simply posing the question. I mentioned Epi because be it was praying on my mind. I am not bad but if I was I would be foolish to be so single minded on boogs. I thought he was Smaug to be honest. There now you know how silly I was.

thank you k4j, I vaguely remember that you thought you were going to vote someone but then didn't and i also vaguely recall that I didn't read it as baddie. I'll review Lizzy's posts (should have done that yesterday in fact) and look for that suspicion to see if I can understand more about her reasons. I also want to understand why her vote went to Boogs because her reasons didn't stick with me when I was reading along.

To echo what some have said it wasn't just that they wanted to be replaced. For me that was a factor, but I thought both Lizzy and AP were suspicious (both pretty blendy and have a bad voting history) , and I thought Boogs was a certain civvie role.

Her vote yesterday? iirc when she voted Boogs was before it was decided AP was getting the vote not her, so it could be she had to leave and thought it was going down to her and Boogs.

This is a very good point, Bullz. And what made those votes "in genuine"

I also asked Snow Dog who the "shady" people voting A Person were... he never answered.

The Epi-Dom post gave me lulz. Since Snow Dog was bringing up next moves, he seems to have become the target of everyones focus. How do you all feel about CBK and other Boogs voters in light of the result?

I agree Snows recent posts dont read well, but I am also curious why 4 people suddenly jumped on it at once.

Some thoughts to consider in light of who Boogs was. As for the Elves we dont know whether they are indy, civ, or baddie at this point. The Wood elf points seem to be the determining factor. What I am curious about is if baddies are told if the wood elves can only win with them or not and at what point. That alliance would be greatly worrisome, but I tend to think that wouldnt be the case now in the game. What do others think re: wood elves?

That they'll probably try to win with the civs like every other neutral team ever has because it's nearly impossible to coordinate a victory with baddies when you don't know who they are and they're busy trying to kill you since they don't know your role or intentions. I don't think the neutrals are a threat, but if I were one I wouldn't be inclined to help CBK or Snow right now. I'd rather worry about the actual baddies. Besides, if people start hunting down the neutrals in the thread then they're definitely going to not want to win with the civs are they?

Night 7 -- Death from Above

Image


The group, demoralized, and worn out from their quick eviction from the city, decided to rest on the riverbank that night.

Just as they were getting out of their boats to set up camp, the thign they had been fearing most happened: Smaug sped out through the gates, on the hunt.

Luckily, there was an outcrop of tumbled stones nearby, doubtless cast there by the dragon years ago. The group sought cover. Smaug flew by, on the hunt. He had not expected them to leave Lake-Town so quickly, or to be so close to his lair already. In his rage, he blew gouts of flame heedlessly across swaths of already-scorched rock. One of these gouts hit the river, just as Lea was climbing out of the boat and onto shore. The flame missed her by a hair's breadth, but it turned the water all around her to steam, and she was boiled alive.

The rest of the group spent the night fearfully huddled under the rocks. Most of them never slept a wink, so the watch that night was kept carefully. At one point, though, >SpaghettiEverywhere left the camp site to go to the bathroom in privacy. A large, suspiciously-timed rock bounded down from a cliff face near where he was standing, and squashed him flat. Upon inspection, it was determined that the rock had been dislodged by a small bit of dynamite. "Goblins," said Turnip Head 2.0, shaking his head. "The damn goblins did this to him."

Leamiteo has been killed by Smaug.
>SpaghettiEverywhere has been killed by the Misty Mountains Goblins.

It has been a real bloodbath around here lately. RIP, you two.
I hope Smaug is at least getting a baddie or two.

I think the elves are civ friendly. In any game, like you said, it makes more sense for them to help the civvies. Then you add in this game started off with three baddie lynches lol Makes no sense to assume they are hostile at this point. As long as we don't lynch anymore I think they will keep helping us

Many people did not post tonight, and PMs were missed....the host is displeased.

PMs should all be out, though. Day post coming momentarily.

Also, AP is being replaced at his request. I have a sub lined up, but have to PM them to ask if they are still in. So don't vote AP today; that player's lynch immunity starts now, and they will have NK protection tomorrow. Sorry for any inconvenience that causes.

Well as boogs turned out not baddie I was obviously wrong about the shady voters.

Day 8 -- Foothills


The stream dwindled as the group, exhausted, paddled further up the next morning. Luckily, they were still hevaily provisioned, but hope was in short supply, and many a bag could be found under weary eyes that had not dared close in the night. Eventually, the group came to a place where the boats could not pass, and were forced to continue on foot.

The massive mountain still loomed ahead, and all around it the land became hillier. They grey, lifeless landscape looked almost scorched with fire in the afternoon sun, except in the mountain's vast shadow.

So as they walked, seemingly ever on, seeing not a sign of life, the group talked about who among their number could be responsible for all the murders.

I agree Snows recent posts dont read well, but I am also curious why 4 people suddenly jumped on it at once.

Some thoughts to consider in light of who Boogs was. As for the Elves we dont know whether they are indy, civ, or baddie at this point. The Wood elf points seem to be the determining factor. What I am curious about is if baddies are told if the wood elves can only win with them or not and at what point. That alliance would be greatly worrisome, but I tend to think that wouldnt be the case now in the game. What do others think re: wood elves?
That they'll probably try to win with the civs like every other neutral team ever has because it's nearly impossible to coordinate a victory with baddies when you don't know who they are and they're busy trying to kill you since they don't know your role or intentions. I don't think the neutrals are a threat, but if I were one I wouldn't be inclined to help CBK or Snow right now. I'd rather worry about the actual baddies. Besides, if people start hunting down the neutrals in the thread then they're definitely going to not want to win with the civs are they?
I think the elves are civ friendly. In any game, like you said, it makes more sense for them to help the civvies. Then you add in this game started off with three baddie lynches lol Makes no sense to assume they are hostile at this point. As long as we don't lynch anymore I think they will keep helping us

More strange talk.

I have already discussed the elves. It makes the most sense that they would strive to remain independent and thus able to win with anyone. Unfortunately for them, the Elf king gives Elf points (along with gold) to a player. Not a role. Not a faction. A player. Barring the influence of secrets, this means they do not know how their alignment is shifting until (presumably) they are told.

And this...

I don't. The elves don't know who the civilians are. No one does.
fingersplints wrote:In any game, like you said, it makes more sense for them to help the civvies.
Why? Given the choice, I'd help the Mafia. You can't coordinate with the Mafia but you can't coordinate with the civilians either. But at least the Mafia a) know each other, and b) have a kill.

Again, however, the elves don't have a knowledgeable choice.

I am not so convinced you are good. I was at first but I am less certain now. I am not Smaug I thought Boogs was. I am not bad at all. Just misguided. But Smaug is certainly laughing at us because we obviously have absolutely no idea who he is. So if you want another Mongoose situation then go ahead and get that bandwagon rolling.

No matter how successful anyone is, it means just about nothing.

I think we should treat the Elves as they are neutral. I do not think, at least at this point, we should actively try and seek them out.

However, your attempt to create the idea that the wood elves are now aligned with the baddies and we should panic is duly noted.
Snow Dog wrote: Well as boogs turned out not baddie I was obviously wrong about the shady voters.

The last point I don't quite understand.
Yes, you were wrong, but who were they?
Your thought process doesn't make any sense here.
You were wrong about them. So... were they only shady for voting not-boogs? But that wouldn't make sense, because you implied they were shady, THEN voted not Boogs, THUS you didn't feel any better about not voting boogs. So... who were they? Why are they suspicious. Your post indicated that they were already suspicious. Your current talk does not. Please, explain this contradiction.

I actually agree here. This makes perfect sense. It's always best to not pick a side at all as a neutral until late in the game.
I don't. The elves don't know who the civilians are. No one does.
Why? Given the choice, I'd help the Mafia. You can't coordinate with the Mafia but you can't coordinate with the civilians either. But at least the Mafia a) know each other, and b) have a kill.

Again, however, the elves don't have a knowledgeable choice.
The thing is, helping the mafia is really hard when you don't know who the mafia are. How would you do it? I'm genuinely curious. When I was neutral in Muppet Mafia I wanted our team to help the baddies but the others discussed how difficult that would be so we decided against it. It's easiest to play neutral as if you're a civvie, and actively hunt baddies. That way you get to fly by unsuspected and unharassed. In my experience neutrals win with baddies not by their own choice but because they happened to be alive when a baddie team won.

Bonus question: How do you know how to not lynch an elf?
Trick question. All people are saying is we shouldn't actively go after them rather than actual baddies. Right now they have a maximum of two people, a guy who gives away free money and a guy whose power is vaguely defined but probably has multiple effects (some likely good, some likely bad). I'd hardly call them much of a threat.

I agree. Does anyone else find it suspicious when people bring up neutral roles as people we should be hunting for? I always do.

CBK said yes
I find it funny that Snow's immediate reaction to the Boogs lynch was to throw under the bus all Boogs voters except himself and CBK, while CBK's reaction seems to be to throw Snow under it.

Don't divorce this from its context or assume what "people" are saying. That is not what fingersplints was saying.

fingerspints made a number of assumptions about the elves, and concluded with the notion that if "we" don't lynch anymore of them, the elves will continue to be on "our" side. Unless you are an elf, you don't know how not to lynch an elf. If you are an elf, you don't know whose side you're on.

None of that passes the smell test.
