So easy MM was lynched.

Sorry I wasn't able to vote. I would have voted MM because he was for sure getting lynched and I didn't want to put my vote on the Millionaire if MM wasn't him. Which he wasn't. Sorry MM. RIP.

Juliets - I owe you a HUGE apology. I got your name mixed up with Canuklehead. You were not looking for a bandwagon. MM was suggesting that Canuck was looking for a bandwagon. I am going to look into this more.

Rabbit - I don't know what I've done that has made you so myopic about me being bad. I'm posting and reading and looking for baddies and taking notes. I don't know what more you want. I made one comment three days ago when I was upset.

Even if I was bad, which I'm not, there would be four other baddies out there that we would need to find. We know that you think I'm the devil. Is there anyone else that you suspect? Any other thoughts?

I wouldn't go so far as to say I suspect her. In some ways, I think she is coming across civ. But there have been a couple of things she has said that I think are very noteworthy, and I tihnk she merits healthy discussion.

Does voting in polls satisfy some odd urge you have?

It was a joke referencing the fact that I had voted Michigan the first time. Michigan + again. Funny right.

I got the joke. I thought it was funny.

I'd feel a little more comfortable about voting a baddie who perhaps wouldn't give an unconfirmed civvie more power though.

Why would he have an explanation?

Actually, this reminds me of when TH replaced in for Roxy in Film Directors. Dom was suspicious of Roxy, so he essentially asked TH to reread Roxy and make a case on her (himself).

Btw, Dom was bad in that game.

LizKeen wrote:I'm going back and re-reading (a task I dread) everyone bf was suspicious of so he won't have died in vain. The mafia would have most definitely wanted him so and I'd say there's at least one if not more of you in those 8 votes. Black Rock is off the hook obviously and I'm giving Zomb the benefit of the doubt now so that at least narrows it down to 6 for me.

I don't think so:

thellama73 wrote:How Items Work

Some items can be used to confer benefits, some cannot. Some items will be consumed when used, some will not. Most items can be stolen. When someone is lynched, all of the items they possess go to the people who voted for them, in order. So the first vote gets the first item, etc. When someone is NKed, whoever performed the kill gets the item. Items may not be voluntarily traded between players.

Transfer and traded are two different things. So I would say it could be possible for a teammate to give an item to put in the safe.

I'm baffled as to why the stock certificate would start a fire. Why would anyone want to burn stock? Unless the stock market crashes.

I'm off to bed but I hope tomorrow doesn't find the whole city burned down.

I wish I'd been here today to call this out immediately. I knew for a fact the doctor had nothing to do with it because of what I "heard" during the night. I didn't have any knowledge of what MM did or didn't do but I knew it wasn't the doctor. I don't know why you would think MM was just flat out lying. Seems risky. Especially as he didn't have a lot of people trying to help him all that much.

MovingPictures07 wrote:10 bucks that Zomba really is the Millionaire.

I'm bummed that I only got a part of a convo before my ear tubes were stolen because my initial thought was the mafia was going to try and set her up for a Day 3 lynch. But after some thought it's also possible they were going to try and get enough suspicion on her to get some votes for power but try and steer the lynch towards someone else. I had a specific reason for telling her to watch who she put her vote on. The fact she didn't vote anyone is either for the reason she said or because I gave her that advice and mafia decided to switch tactics given what I heard. Either way I would think it prudent to not vote her yet.

DisgruntledPorcupine wrote:Voting MM, because it's an easy enough choice.

Really? And noone questioned this?

Golden wrote:OK, so now we need to pick another street.

I'm glad we didn't waste the Archer street opportunity (thanks LizKeen). No one was focussed on agreeing a question to ask the Chinese man, and I wasn't sure if we were going to get anything. Instead, I think we got something which sort of suggested that the celestials are as harmless as they look.

I'm gonna vote 22nd street again, since I think the police station might be a good place to get intel on the mafia.

I really don't understand why I was the only one who questioned Mr. Fung (Other than Epi, who insulted him). Talk about people not reading the thread.

I asked that question more to make sure the mafia wouldn't gain more power if they gained the items than anything else.

Golden wrote:I also note LizKeens ear horns told her we should avoid an easy lynch.

I have to say, I interpreted that as being a reference to either a) SVS (based on beas point at the start of the night that the will created a target on her back) or b) Zombs (because she really did seem like an easy target). They were the people who looked like easy lynches to me.

I'm not sure how the ear horns could warn against ANY easy lynch, since you never know what the town will do the next day and who might see a lynch train against them. So my assumption is that the person giving the message (be it player or host) had someone specific in mind they were looking to protect.

I overheard a mafia conversation, of that I'm quite sure. (It wasn't a direct message to me) I wasn't referencing anyone in particular because I didn't have a name, other than Zomba's and it wasn't in reference to voting her today. Just trying to make sure people would give careful thought to who they voted. As there's only two roles I see that could have stolen them from me I'm hoping they get more detailed info.

rabbit8 wrote:Yes, I have other thoughts.

I'm scared to know what rabbit thinks about.

Epignosis wrote:No, I've decided I'm going to try to be brief:

In The Legend of Zelda, LizKeen was an important civilian role, and lasted most of the game. (Okay, she was evil, but this was a reverse game, where Ganon and his minions were civilians and Link, Zelda, and the Old Man were bad. Zola was independent, if you must know).

In 80 posts, LizKeen never once put together a case like she did against S~V~S. So it was strange for me to see this monster. I was already convinced MM was bad though, so I didn't publicize my reaction at the time.

LizKeen is going after the wrong person, knows it, and came up with some weak reasons.

I think I died like Day 4 and I was so completely lost as it was my first game in a very long time. (Hence my current signature) While not feeling superhero confident this game I am trying to be a bit more bold as I was of no use in Zelda. You were wrong about MM but find it odd I went after someone else? I don't know why everyone assumes I know I'm wrong so much. Have I played enough with any of you to really know that? At least I'm participating.

Golden wrote:(I've decided to split this up into different, discrete thoughts)

So, here are just some things I've note I've seen from LizKeen. I honestly haven't decided whether or not the sum total is something that pings me. What I will say is, LizKeen is bringing original ideas to the thread, which as a concept reads civilian to me. But, on the other hand, some of the original ideas she has brought do ping me a little.

LizKeen wrote:So are the celestial a separate team? Mafia? If so I'm not really keen on blindly following bf as he could be trying to gain more power for them if he is in fact not mafia.

LizKeen suggests bf could be a celestial trying to gain power for them. Interesting. As far as I can recall, LK is the only one to suggest the celestials have been anything other than complete civilian. She later followed this up by asking this question of Mr Fung:


I answered this above in this post. And as this is only my second game here I wasn't sure if there was two mafia or not. I asked llama after I posted that question about them and found out they weren't.

LizKeen wrote:Mr. Fung, do you know if the ivory, jade and amber would be dangerous if they were in the hands of the wrong team?

Which was answered by llama in his host post to say no.

It does demonstrate, to me, that LK's concern and interest in whether or not the celestials were bad has been consistent. But who is it that might be most worried about whether or not the celestials are a threat?? And... the way these were phrased interests me. Would they be dangerous in the hands of 'the wrong team'... not the mafia. Not the celestials. Nothing that needs to raise an eyebrow, but something that gets her the answer she wants. I feel as though I could see this being a mafia fishing to see if the celestials were a threat to them.

LK thinks there are probably baddies hiding in the bf lynch. She narrows it down to 6. She says she will reread them. But then, after her reread:

Based on what I had reread I would say my current suspicions are SVS, rabbit, LongCon and Vompatti. But I'll have to go into that further tomorrow because it's really late and I'm tired.

She picks four people. Here are the bf voters:

blindfaeth
8
S~V~S (7), Dom (8), rabbit8 (9), Epignosis (10), birdwithteeth11 (13), Zomberella12 (15), Elohcin (16), Black Rock (20)
40%

No LC or Vompatti. Somehow, based on her reread, she suspects two people from the bf lynch and two people who weren't there, who she hadn't said she was going to reread, without connecting that to anything at all. Admittedly, these posts were two hours apart - plenty of time for her brain to move on. But I certainly found it interesting and inconsistent.

After I reread I developed new thoughts. After I lost 2 long posts I said screw it and decided to focus on one person. I'm still not convinced 100% of that persons civviness but it's a new day, a lot has happened and there's a lot more to think about. I'm sure there's mafia in the bf lynch, as in the MM lynch obviously. I've gone back and forth on Long Con and I'm not feeling particularly good about Vompatti based on her posts.

It is interesting I've become a target after overhearing the mafia though. If I become an easy lynch target today it won't surprise me.

Golden wrote:
And there is this, where LK is the only one who brings up the idea that transferring and trading are two different things. At the time I thought this was a really good point that went overlooked (actually, LK, if you are civilian, I think your posts as a whole are really good content that is being overlooked - and you are right that if I wasn't silenced I would have been talking about them). But who would be in the best place to have the idea an item might be able to be transferred between teammates? A mafia or a celestial, I would have thought, but see post one for why LK cannot be a celestial. No way anyone in the celestial team would be trying to make themselves out to be mafia and a potential threat.

I was actually surprised noone else brought up the transferring/trading thing. It was one of several reasons I found it frustrating you were silenced because I thought you would have been one to bring it up as well the Mr. Fung questions. And no, I'm not a celestial, I wouldn't have needed to ask the question if I was.

And lastly, this. First person to note I was silenced, which took a while frankly considering how prolific I am. I'm not sure what point I'm making with that, other than I found it noteworthy, especially as LK and I have never played with each other before (as far as I'm aware).

I'm also surprised I'm the first one to notice as you had been very prolific before that. But as I said, based on your posts before Day 2, I thought it odd you hadn't said anything.
