Cool! What do you think of my most recent contributions, aokiji?

I really don't see any reason to lynch llama at the moment and don't trust the reads of the people voting him. If necessary I'll switch my vote to prevent it.

Okay!

90% of my posts in this game feature earnest scumhunting efforts much like those you saw in Robert De Niro Mafia. I have stated clear suspicions and given every reason for every vote. I have engaged my suspects in continuous thorough conversation, and adapted my reads as I've proceeded. I haven't quite played at full throttle I grant, but that's impossible under the circumstances.

The other 10% feature... whatever I'm doing right now.

This either affirms my suspicions because you can't think of a good response or if you are town it tells me that you are not really reading my accusations towards you and giving them any thought, which is tragically ironic considering that's what you keep asking me (and others) to do for you. I have acknowledged that you have stated suspicions and given reasons, and I have acknowledged that you have engaged "suspects" and adapted my reads. It is not your job right now to prove to me that you have done these things, it is your job to prove to me, and everyone else, that it is not an act. Because your train of thought regarding your reads is telling me, as it has been the entire game, that it is.

I veered way off Meta Highway well before you told me I was imitating myself.

But not well before you sensed that accusation.

Rbzmncaeaei wrote:How hypocritical is this? Is it not standard Mafia responsibility to give legitimate reasons for a vote that is very close to the time of the lynch? Is that not AT LEAST as high of a priority when it comes to things needing an explanation as something that, as I said before, is as subjective as it is plain-as-day, meaning if you don't see what's bothersome about it than no further explanation could possibly benefit you?

I want you to really think about this right now, Zebra. You know what I'm capable of in Mafia games. I know it too. This behavior right now is obviously not an adequate representation of that. Do you think I'm not completely aware of that? Am I oblivious of myself? Do I have myself on ignore? You might not know why I'm being loopy right now, but I think you can figure it out if you allow yourself the opportunity to consider it fairly.

Or you could, I don't know, tell us, and prevent another mislynch if you are in fact town. Don't make me regret giving you the benefit of the doubt yet again. Last chance before I join this potential new bandwagon.

linki@Russ Just a vibe, otherwise I would have elaborated earlier. Subject to change as all reads are.

Excellent. Why is that Golden? What am I up to?

I have no idea. That's what bothers me. I usually see rationality behind your actions. Possibly, it's something to do with your position as assistant CEO.

I don't know what is going on with you, and I find that incredibly scary.

@BR - what question?

That's not satisfactory. If you think I am bad, which you just implied by "I don't trust him in the least" and your willingness to lynch me right now, then you must have a specific mafia agenda in mind to explain my behavior. So what am I doing?

No, there is no such 'must'.

You just said you think a tie could be consistent with your win condition (more consistent than the other options I propose). I do not think that makes any sense from a civilian mindset. All I need to do is feel like you are not coming from a civilian mindset, and I don't.

@BR - in what sense? Not much in this game, but I think he is usually very switched on as a civ (regardless of how loud or quiet) and comes across as more vague and detached as a baddie.

Splendid, thanks for asking! I spent most of it on planes, trains, automobiles, and a bed, but I'm in great spirits. How was your day?

What are you in Sweden for? And what part?

I'm in Stockholm for leisure. I visited Oslo, Norway a few months ago and loved it, so I wanted some more Scandinavia in my diet. I love the umlauts and I love the blondes.

You and me both, brother.

Linki: Yeah I figured that was probably it. Hopefully I can be more Supatown and convince you otherwise!

I guess no one is going to make me laugh today. *self vote*

Tell me this is another time you should've put the font in orange. Are you really willing to give up that suspicion so easily?

I can't PROVE that. I can only play my game and hope that it serves to the best interests of my team. If you interpret my honest contributions as being dishonest, even when I have tried so hard to explain myself repeatedly, then there's nothing I can do about that.

I do not own a functioning crystal ball.

Why would I tell everyone what I'm doing when I'm clearly up to something unique? I'm not going to telegraph my maneuver to those who might be exposed by it.

This is what I've been trying to get at for these past few pages Golden, it is not genuinely logical for a civilian to demand specifics where they are unnecessary and choose to hide specifics when they are essential to not getting yourself lynched.

None of your options suit the truth. I chose the one that was most applicable among a number of wrong options.

Don't self-vote! It's not allowed!

Will you switch to someone evil if I tell you a joke?


A pirate walks into a bar with a ship's steering wheel sticking out of his pants. He sidles up and says, "Arrr, gimme a cuppa yer best grog!" And the bartender says, "Sure. And it's on the house, but first you have to tell me why that steering wheel's in your pants."

The pirate lifts up his eyepatch and gives the bartender an exasperated look, and says, "Yarrrr, it's drivin' me nuts."

Elohcin, I just started and I have read the rules. Have you?

I hope it'll benefit town. The intentions are honest at least.

Elohcin wrote:I guess no one is going to make me laugh today. *self vote*

Nothing better than a self-vote on Day 2, really? You have no scum reads other than myself and...yourself?

getting back on Long Con for now. Not feeling the bcornett lynch, i believed his post just then I guess. Llama, yeah maybe.

I have no idea what is going on since page 16, when it became night. So whatever your accusations are of me I can't really defend myself.

By no means are you required to believe I've been busy, but I firmly believe life trumps this. If I am not lynched tonight I'll be looking stuff over shortly.

I'm not sure I follow this post, but you agree that JJJ's behaviour is bizarre?

I mean, why demand that I must have a specific anti-mafia strategy in mind for his antics to suspect him...

Yay, thanks Russ!

I'm voting for long con to break the tie as there needs to be a lynch, my lynch will only be a waste of time.

I flipped my vote to llama. Long Con took the lead again, and I don't think Long Con is the right way to go.

But... if a tie in the end, I will flip back away.

motel room wrote:what are the intentions?

I'll reveal that soon.

I may switch to Long Con. I only suspect him very mildly, but I don't want to risk a very late tie.

6 mins left and its at 6-6 llama v long con

Suspecting me is not equivalent to wanting me dead immediately.

Yeah seeing Golden's switch, I'm going with LC. I don't like a llama lynch and I don't like a tie.

I'm just going to address this because I'm tired of going in circles.

JaggedJimmyJay wrote:Why would I tell everyone what I'm doing when I'm clearly up to something unique?

BECAUSE YOU COULD GET LYNCHED.

At least answer this JJJ, are you going to reveal your intentions before Day 2 is finished? Because otherwise you might not have a chance.

Suspecting me is not equivalent to wanting me dead immediately.

and if it wasn't half an hour before the lynch, I would have pushed it.

And trust me, I will push it until THE END OF THIS GAME, unless you have a damn good explanation soon.

There is no way in hell your behaviour looks anything like civvie you. I want you dead. Definitely.

Happy I could help.

And now Long Con will get lynched.

JJ, if you are civilian, you are a fool.

And JJJ switches votes without saying so in the thread. Back to JJJ.

and oops. I must have forgot that rule. eek. no modkill, please!

Hey, I'm still catching up from the five or six pages that happened while I was at work, but I couldn't help but notice that there's a sudden influx of votes on me. Please reconsider, I'm not a baddie this time.

I don't think I'll have time. I will say though that the person who most failed this test was Golden.

I was responding to you. Yes I switched to LONG CON

Voting bcornett to hopefully maybe save myself? Any helpful friends out there?

Yeah that JJJ flip makes me nervous. C'mon, man...

...Sorsha, explain plz?

.....at least I thought he did.

Went back to brian. May as well keep my vote where I believe the person is bad.
