I really thought I could have a little fun tonight and not be looked at b/c I have such a good voting record. . I will vote for cookie with you all on Day 4 if you guys really see her as bad.

I haven't caught up but if there's anything you'd like me to comment on quickly before the day ends i'm up for that.

don't understand elohcin's vote, throwaway votes at this point seem like a way to try to skirt by on wifom and avoid meaningful vote analysis

don't understand G-man's vote, why'd he feel the need to protect dharma?

why does dh think ddl should be left alive if he's moloch?

How does that make me suspicious? I voted on a hunch. I did not think that my suspicions against DDL or Espers were strong enough to vote for them, especially when I was uncertain of my vote against Golden (and look where that got us - life without Golden). When I reread what DDL posted, I had remembered their conversation. It was quite an easy change of heart.

What does this have to do with drunk posting?

You have no suspects, then cast a vote for me. You even panicked and indicated you might vote for Cookie after I seriously considered it, then you didn't.

It's practically Night 3. You're a lot of fun, Elo, but get your head into the game.

If I am not a full participant in this game for Day 4, I deserve to be lynched and/or replaced. It is a sweet game. I'll clean up my act.

Oh dang! haha mafia is your mistress.

I honestly did not have a major suspicion going into this, which is a problem given how much has happened. I'd likely have voted espers, as I said, primarily for lack of a better case.

Geez it looks like that was intense.

Linki: I agree Cookies' and Elo's votes are quick flips. Fwiw I read Elo as genuine, and Cookie, being new to our brand of mafia, may not be aware of how strongly quick flips are frowned upon. Just think it's worth bearing in mind.

Double linki: Dammit. RIP DH

I'm sorry, you are right. I will do better. I just need some sleep tonight. Also, sorry DH. I feel like I might could have prevented your death had I not been so out of it. Please forgive me.

So you went from having two suspects, not strong, then to reading a series of posts and suddenly having a suspect that eclipsed your thoughts of the other two, with enough confidence to vote?

My problem with it is that you never explained your thought process.

You don't really seem interested in baddie hunting.

Is that true?

Was I supposed to just not vote if I wasn't confident on anyone?

I have zero confidence in my abilities to baddie hunt, therefore, I am following others in their suspicions, mostly. I have played this game before, however, never really had to scumhunt. I've always gone by hunches and power roles and unfortunately, this isn't working out that well for me in this game.

Because Moloch can kill the Mafia.

I'm still a little worried G-Man and LC may be mafia. I also wonder about Scotty for reasons others have stated.

This isn't black and white. I may think you are my biggest suspect, and that you are the best one among the four I have to pick from, but I'd be foolish to be 100% sure if you are mafia. And if you're gonna accuse me, I have to defend myself. If I'm right and you're mafia, then no problem, I'm safe. But if I'm wrong, I'd better start defusing the bomb you're trying to plant on me.

And the reason I voted earlier is that I always do that. I hate voting late, because I know I'll look bad because of it regardless of whether I lynch civ or bad. I'd rather vote earlier and risk my neck, and show I put my vote where my mouth is.

This post struck me as odd, especially when he talks about voting late and how it makes people look suspicious. This is interesting because earlier somewhere in this thread, he talked about Espers looking bad because he voted near the end of day for Sloonei. I can't tell if it's a guilty conscience. Other than that and his entire argument with Golden just seemed forced, like he was looking for a reason to vote out Golden (I don't know if that was on purpose or not, would someone do that as a townie?). At this point, I would not vote for DDL but I regard Golden as a good player and if he found DDL suspicious, then I would trust that suspicion. This isn't enough for me to cast a vote upon.

In the beginning of the game, I found Elo suspicious because of her voting to tie up the votes on Day 1, however, she has posted more and I no longer find her suspicious.

Honestly, I'm shocked that MP has not been killed in the NK yet. It seems suspicious because he seems to be a very good player which could possibly turn out to be a threat to the mafia if he started calling them out, unless the Inmates have not killed him because they are high up on his rainbow list?

At the same time, I'm trusting someone who I originally suspected so if they turn out to be wrong, it's just going to add to my suspicions.

Actually I was silenced. :P Still catching up from this post though. I see that DH died, and was a good role. I would have probably voted MP, Lorab, or Bass is it were happening. If I could have voted.

I agree with DDL's analysis of MP, it's how I feel. Looks like masterful distancing that just didn't work out. I think some of the points made about Eloh are good, and I don't suspect her so much right now.

Still catching up.
