What do the rest of you think? Is it a really bad tactic to vote for who you trust the most?
Dana, I've never known anyone in mafia whose told me they are doing this so it makes it hard to respond. I know what you mean because I feel it too, I keep evaluating people wrong and voting for civs so it makes me think some of the people I think are good are really bad. But I wouldn't vote for anyone I didn't mind seeing lynched unless I'm sending a "message" vote" ("I've got my eye on you") to someone. I don't want to tell you what to do but that's the way I think about it.

In a manner of speaking, that's what I'm doing with Canuck and LoRab. I have trusted them all game, and we've lynched Civ after Civ. It was time to flip things up a bit, so I looked at them from a different angle. I don't think they would trust me exactly as much as they have, with even a little doubt and suspicion sprinkled in just right, unless it served their purposes as baddies to keep me under wraps. They don't want me coming after them, they want me to trust and agree with them.

This conclusion would not have happened any time earlier in the game, it's just because we are getting so low on players and shit is completely dire at this point. It's them. And Hedge. That's what I think, AND that's what my gut tells me as well. Those two don't always agree, my head and gut.

What does "trying to sway the votes a bit" mean? Is it different from regular suspicions and cases? Are you saying this because I accused Canuck and LoRab with little substance to the accusation?

#3602

Ok, the choice between the two was easy, because Canuck seems silenced right now, and I'm not trying to lynch a silenced person when I have an equally suspected person who has been active today. I'm courteous like that.

I'm voting LoRab, but if it comes down to it, I would change my vote to Hedgeowl. I want very much for you all to consider a similar vote, there's more baddies than Civvies still out there, and I am sure LoRab is one.

And you are wrong.

I've trusted you because I haven't been reading you as bad. And the only person I know who generally reads you better than I do is your wife. Have I ever been wrong? Yes. Enough that I don't entirely trust my own judgement. But that's been my thinking.

Eye me all you want. And if you must vote for me, go for it. But I'm not bad. And I don't really see a case against me, so I can't really answer your suspicion more than I have.

I'm still unsure of where I'm voting.

Snipped your quote LC -

For now, I'm thinking i will stick with Hedge. I'll wait a little bit longer to vote just in case something happens.

#3605

I can see a hedge vote more than a lorab vote. so that's where I'm going to vote as theres like 4 minutes left.

#3606

ok strike the voting part - my times are all hosed on the site from when I was trying to figure out what was wrong with my poll last night. *doh*

#3607

I just typed up a whole long thing and my phone deleted it.

Juliets, thank you for your input. It's not that I wouldn't mind seeing her lynched, because I definitely would... Of she's good. But I guess the whole point of the game is that you don't know who's good and who's bad.

Bea, I don't want to see another civ lynched either, of course. But I know I'm good and I know someone else is (or at least was) good also, so statistically there are a lot of baddies around.

I'm leaving now for this meeting, so I'm going to vote Bea. If it ends before the lynch then I'll return and reconsider.

Linki- Lorab, yes it was pretty much that. But if the reason for your suspicion of them is that they're not suspicious then I guess I can't really say anything because I'm basically doing the same thing.

#3608

oh Dana of the hypnoavi - I think this is the first time I've ever taken a lynch vote because the person voting me thinks I'm civ.

#3609

Ok, I'm going to go ahead and vote hedgeowl. I don't think anything is really going to happen in the last 30 minutes to change my mind. Oh, and we can change our votes here right? so I can always change if need be. (I'm playing 3 games now and starting to get some things confused.)

*voting Hedge*

#3610

Well, they let me out early because I was only there to get a club approved, so yay, more time to mafia!

Bea wrote:oh Dana of the hypnoavi - I think this is the first time I've ever taken a lynch vote because the person voting me thinks I'm civ.

I'm sorry about that. I may switch if more people start coming around since our votes are all scattered, and I don't want there to be another no lynch day when the mafia have a chance to kill at night. Who do you think you're going to vote for?

#3611

UGH! This vote is so split. And I clearly need to vote someone with a vote so I'm not tied with a gazillion other candidates (ok, maybe an exagerration). Need to think about who I trust the most and consider for whom they have voted, I guess. Not liking this lynch.

@Dana: Did you mean that linkitis for someone else?

#3612

I'm voting for hedge. The case on lorab is just too weak for me at this point.

Oh whoops. I totally meant that for LC, sorry!

I mean, he and I did have the same haircut for a while. But not the same person, lol.

#3615

Na lorab - you rocked that hair cut waaaaaay cuter than he does.

I wonder if the hosts could make that the next night poll, lol

#3617

Putting my vote on hedge, in case I get distracted in the next 11 minutes and forget to vote. This is a pure self preservation vote. I don't trust that there isn't vote manipulation (because, it's a game of mafia with tricksy hosts), and I want to do my best to stay alive.

If something comes up between now and lynch end, I could change vote. I don't particularly suspect hedge. But I sure as hell trust myself more.

#3618

Oh wait, we can't change votes this time? Has this been the whole game and I just hadn't noticed? I was pretty sure we were able to before.

#3619

in the interest of fairness we would be requiring pictures to judge and compare.

Hmm. :P

#3621

dunno dana - I am always sketched out by vote changing ability because I'm absent minded so I always just wait as long as I can to get as much info as I can with the "I'm only voting once" theory pretty much all the time. I'm a girl of habits. Habits make me sane.

OK - slightly more sane...I guess full on sane is a bit of a stretch.

I'm happy to share a pic!

#3623

I mean votes aren't changeable this poll. I was just wondering if that's a mistake or not.

#3624

Voted Hedge. Again it was up to Bullz or her and he wouldn't get enough to go.

#3625

that's a decent point dana - lets ask the hosts

oh hosties!!!!! as dana pointed out the votes weren't changeable this time, was that a mistake or not?

#3626

Ahh I almost missed the vote. This is a HUGE mistake. You are serisouly about to lynch another civ. I am going to vote Boogs for now, because its the closest I can come to saving myself, but I would rather be voting LC.

Also, I am fairly surprised at this lynch. Baddies are all over this game. It was fun though, good luck guys!

#3627

I will say the baddies have been doing an excellent job this game. It has been sooo hard figuring you out. I am looking forward to end game for sure.

#3628

so you would advocate looking at LC next?

Yup, heh.

#3630

Hedgeowl has been lynched. She was Tim the Enchanter, a civ.

#3631

#3632

ebwop: dead red. I didn't see my death post in Linki. Whoops. Have fun all! Zombie bar time for me.

#3633

Crap.

I'm sorry hedgey.

#3634

Also according to the thing the vote changing was enabled. So don't know what that was about. :o

#3635

did you delete the old poll before you made the new one? that was the issue I ran into last night. Stoopid bea is sometimes very stoopid. In my defense it was at about beer 4. lol.

#3636

Rip and sorry Hedge :-( I dont know who to vote besides Bullzeye now. This game has been so crazy.
Dp- Why are only LC and Lorab on the poll and do we have to vote them?

#3637

yea - I mean, I know what they both looked like when they shared the same hairstyle, but I think eveyone else will need ocular proof from said parties in order to properly evaluate.

boogsy - we're trying to decide who rocks a hair cut better.

#3638

Okay but i dont know if i want to vote either if it gives them something because i dont really trust either of them. I only trust Jc and Bea at this point.

#3639

I guess I'm going to have to start voting for people I think are good too because this just didn't get it. I'm sorry hedge and RIP.

Boogs the night poll was about who looked best in the same hairstyle, Long Rock or Lorab. It's just the night poll it won't give anyone an advantage. Maybe you haven't seen pictures of them with the same hairstyle? I don't think it will give them anything, that really wouldnt be fair to the rest of us.

#3640

Was their hairstyle really that similar?

#3641

I took it as a jokey poll myself.

I know when rox and I did fairy tales, we had some night polls mean things and some didn't -our players never knew which ones did or didn't till the end. There's a more positive point I'm getting to right about...now.....

The point being, that late in the game they were way more "placeholder" kinda votes than prize votes. Also as JC pointed out- I don't think either host would give a chance at a prize to just 2 players.

Yes Dana - it was exactly the same.

#3642

It was. I shaved my head in April to raise money for childhood cancer research. I''ll post a pic. Hold on.

#3643

Dana wrote:Was their hairstyle really that similar?

Yes, I'm hoping the hosts or someone is going to post pictures so you can see, otherwise I would just tell you.

linkitis

#3644

Oh, the hairstyle was no hair at all? Is a hairless hairstyle still a hairstyle at all? This is getting philosophical.

#3645

Speaking of old mafia things I adored, I really wished I'd saved that video of LC singing Brittney Spears for the contest in Dom's Glee game. That was some srrs gold right there.

#3646

Now that LP is back, someone should save that...

OK, trying to share a photo on here is giving me a headache. Follow this link: https://www.stbaldricks.org/participant ... 60938/2014

I'm the cute chick in the middle. That is moments after I shaved. Sorry to link to my fundraising page--no pressure, but that's the easiest way to share me with no hair. (although feel free to donate, no donation is too small)

I heard LP is back so maybe you can find that game in past games and find the video. It was the highlight of any mafia game I've ever played (well except for ambray/sofi outing her whole team by mistake in that game on rev).

#3648

And anyone who has access to pics of me (facebook or instagram or twitter), feel free to share pics. You have my permission. I'm just way too tired to remember how to do photos in forum world.

linkitis: except the picture that either Tranq or Typh (and I know they would both kill me for not remembering which) posted the picture of the different options for the night zero poll. Pixar, maybe? There was a bus.

#3649

It was Tranq. The pic is no longer up. But reading through that conversation was hilarious.

That's probably why she doesn't play anymore.

Also, agreed with Hedge. This game is insane. Can't wait for the endgame!

How did Das Porcu do co-hosting his first game?
