Uhhhh
Yes, Rush, ELP, ... Uh... King Crimson. Is Pink Floyd considered Prog? Dream Theater? I am forgetting someone obvious. GENESIS, thanks linki.

Winner winner chicken dinner. Thank you for playing Mr. Know-It-All's Trivia! I am off to retally the points in case I made a mistake, but barring that, congrats to Wilgy! Your prize will be sent to you shortly.

LINKI DAMN

Really? Jethro Tull is considered one of the big 6 over Rush? Rush is the first band I think of when I hear "prog rock".

Rush didn't even get rolling until 1974, when Yes' Tales From Topographic Oceans had already killed the genre. Also, they are not British.

Good game, good game! Nothing like a little speed trivia to break up the monotony of recovery :P

Yes! it was fun!

I really should though, but I'm feeling lazy -__-

I did about as good at this trivia as I am at the pub trivia im playing in person.

Thats funny. Go ahead Bullwinkle

And you're still wrong Wilgy.

Sorry I've been more quiet lately, the game I'm hosting over at RYM is quite a complicated one with many questions to answer. I haven't caught up yet but please ask me anything.

Ok. Please respond to my thoughts with your own. I wouldn't want to mislynch a civ, but you not trying to detour my suspicion by means other than "your wrong" is making me think I'm right.

Bea, would you mind verifying that it was Natasha who forced you to vote SVS?

Sorsha, why do you think Sloonei died?

Also votes aren't changeable it seems.

@Llama, would we be made aware of an independent's victory?

DrWilgy wrote:Also votes aren't changeable it seems.

They should be. Mine is, and the option is checked on the poll.

DrWilgy wrote:@Llama, would we be made aware of an independent's victory?

Snidley only wins when the game ends, so you will be made aware of whether that is the case at the time.

We don't need changeable votes. We just need DrWilgy votes.

I wanted to see how long the charade would last. Tricking everyone into thinking that their vote would be stuck in place would mean they couldn't dance around, and would have to more seriously think about who they drop their vote on.

Honestly I was hoping to use it to read some players, It's a shame that won't be happening.

LC, who is my temmie?

Zebra, what do you think of my Sorsha case?

I like it, but I'm more convinced that Elohcin is bad. I have been the entire game.

Woo! I'm still alive. I am not sure if that makes Zebra good or bad

I had such a freakin' amazeballs day y'all. It was like I left earth for a while and had no responsibilities whatsoever. I love my fellow homeschool mommas.

And the world says we don't socialize. Psh!

linki - and you would be wrong. SO wrong.

Why are our votes already spread among three people?

Zebra, Eloh isn't bad. Go for someone else. Let's work on this while I'm here for a bit.

I've been tinfoiling today (and it may be lingering stomach flu talking), but I've been wondering things. I'm gonna have a look at good ol' voting records for a bit.

zebra: Eloh, Eloh, Eloh, Scotty, Eloh
bea: Sloonei, miss, miss, Scotty, SVS
Wilgy: Scotty, Sloonei, Eloh, Sloonei, Sorsha
Eloh: sig, miss, Scotty, Scotty, SVS
LC: sig, Scotty, miss, Wilgy, Wilgy,
Me: BWT, indiglo, Wilgy, Scotty, SVS
Sorsha: zebra, indiglo, Wilgy, SVS, Wilgy
sprityo: miss, Eloh, Scotty, miss, Eloh

Mmmmk. Thoughts based on voting:

Zebra: Consistent. Incorrect on four occasions, but consistent. Votes on the second Scotty lynch.
bea: Two missed votes, votes for Scotty the second time.
Wilgy: Votes Scotty the first day (the only one to vote him IIRC), then votes all over the place. Completely avoids both Scotty lynches, claims he was forced. Hmm.
Eloh: Votes on both Scotty lynches. Misses a vote that almost kills her.
LC: Votes Scotty the second day, misses the first Scotty "lynch," votes in the non-changeable second Scotty lynch for Wilgy, after Wilgy since.
Me: I'm perfect. Actually, I've just been lazy, if I'm going to be honest, but at least I managed to get one.
Sorsha: Complete avoids both Scotty lynches.
sprityo: Misses the second Scotty lynch completely.

So I suppose the three that stand out to me, voting wise, are Sorsha, Wilgy, and LC. What do two of them have in common? Voting for Wilgy. LC claims Wilgy is lying. LC spend a lot of time in the second Scotty lynch trying to convince others not to vote Scotty. Wilgy claims LC is lying. Sorsha's defended herself. I think. Everyone lies in mafia. I need to eat, and votes are changeable, and I wanna see what people say/do.

I'm gonna vote for Sorsha, because I'm good voting there and I don't want to spread the vote more, but honestly, I'm okay voting for any of these three, more on the Sorsha and LC side than Wilgy ATM, but by a very slim margin.

Those voting records are good enough for me. Sorsha it is.

Zebra: Consistent. Incorrect on four occasions, but consistent.

Why are you convinced that it's encyclopedic fact that Eloh is civ? I've been asking people why they think she's town this whole game and I still haven't gotten a response that's more than "eh, she just seems town" and that kind of thing. And that's fine and all, but speaking in these absolutes is disconcerting. Saying that she isn't bad is whatever, that could just mean that you're confident about her being civ. But saying that I was incorrect on four occasions to vote for her...that's suspect.

Because of this, I won't vote for Sorsha today. While I appreciate your effort to analyze the votes, I think your motive for doing so may be anti-town. It seems like more of a defense of Eloh disguised as a call to vote for Sorsha. I realize a post can have more than one point, but it reads to me like you want this post to seem like it's mainly focusing on Sorsha when I feel like it's main purpose is to prevent an Eloh lynch.

And an Eloh lynch is really overdue.

Yup, Eloh/niju officially seems more likely to me than Eloh/Sorsha.

Okay, perhaps, but not as baddie teammates. And an Eloh lynch isnot overdue. I think you are just crazy misguided this game. Listen, how about you do this. Reread me and pretend you think I am civ while doing so. Then see what you think when you're done.

Ephraim would like to pick an emoji

I think they have bts but is it baddie? I've been more suspicious of blooper than of Eloh but I think they are the same, regardless. I wish LC would give some thoughts about someone other than wilgy.

What do you think of wilgy zebra?

I see where you're coming from regarding not trusting people's absolutes, but you've got a case of tunnel vision. I don't see what makes her clearly bad to you. Her votes don't stand out as particularly bad, and the fact that she consistently voted Scotty in both major Scotty lynches makes her look pretty good compared to others, if you need something more concrete. I suppose it's a matter of reading her posts as civ, then, after that.

Where did these suspicions come from? I'm feeling better about my vote after this post.

I've mentioned you more than once for piggy backing onto votes. SVS also had bad feels about you in her gth post before her death.

Sorry, Sorsha, I know I'm tunnelling.

It's just that, we both claim to have been Natasha-seduced on the same night. Tell me, is there any way that one of us isn't lying?? Do you think there's a power-duplication thing going on, and somehow we both really did get Natasha'd?

If one of us is lying, then one of us is 100% definitely a baddie.

I don't understand how every single person isn't voting for either me or Wilgy.

Have you given any thought to who his partner is then?

I'll probably have to end up voting him to try to save myself.

LC. You were seduced day 3 yes? The day you were blocked? I was the following day. I called you out due to the means of your seduction not being accurate.

I'm not opposed to a LC lynching as well, let me get that across. I could also see a Sorsha LC team though. Here's the play by play:

Long Con wrote:I voted for Wilgy. I don't think Scotty is bad. Natasha tried to seduce me to vote him on Day 3, but I was Scrooched at the same time. I thought that maybe the baddies were trying to protect Scotty by making me vote for him, but then the Scotty lynch happened anyway. If Scotty is Fearless Leader, then Boris and Natasha probably don't really want him dead.
The fact that you were scrooched and seduced at the same time is pretty convenient. I mean, why not as Natasha, use a roleblock/voteblock turn to claim "targeted by baddie, to target another player" to give cred to both you and Scotty?

Unless Scotty sent a message to them with instructions to try and get him lynched... for cred I guess? If you believe that, then lynch Scotty. I don't believe that. I don't believe that they can afford to lose numbers like that.
Yeah, me neither, so why did it supposedly happen?

I thought that Epi might be going for the "early baddie teammate vouch" on Eloh, but then he was nightkilled. Again, it gives Elohcin some nice cred, but is it worth it with so few baddies? Probably not.

The PM from Natasha was written in a Russian accent. Like "Greetings, Lonk Con, ve vant you to doink ze vote for Scotty..." kind of stuff. It was creative, unnecessarily so. I thought maybe creative Epi would go that extra mile, but apparently not.
I don't think anywhere it implies that Natasha had the ability to message with her seduction. If anything, I think you tried to make up what your own role did without knowing the real result of a seduction that your recipient would see.

I have no doubt that they will kill me very soon. Probably tonight. Natasha told me not to tell anyone, so I have disobeyed on that front.

Good job dying.

Bea, please chime in. We need to know if it was Narrator or Natasha. Based on SVS's obvious result I'm assuming Natasha.

Also please compare your experience with LC and tell me what you think.

This along with LC recent tunnel syndrome (who apparently didn't fully understand the reason why he was tunneling) I think needs a good lynching.

You are not going to win this "who is lying?" debate, friend. Especially when someone comes forward and tells us that Natasha forced their vote in the last lynch.

If the supposed reason for your tunneling is "because we were both Natasha'd on the same day" but you were previously looking for a counter-claim for the following day, means you previously recognized the fact that we were indeed not Natasha'd on the same phase.

No, you are trying to change the story here. You claimed to be Natasha'd on the same night I did.
