Oh, shit.

Anybody knows where I can find a sock?

Indeed.

I love the "YOU FOOL!" at the end.

This is my worst baddie hunting since Minecraft Mafia.

Btw, sorry Eloh. This was pretty terrible baddie hunting from my part, too. Actually, the whole game.

DDL, I think everyone should vote for anyone so long as they aren't players that either of us are suspecting.

Elo, I promise, I owe you an in-person apology in two weeks.

Well, fuck my Rainbow Reads, I frankly don't even know where that leaves me.

Oh man, I really can't believe I mislynched Elo again.

Yours is nice but I like mine better!

Argh. I feel seriously terrible about this. I really thought we had the last mafia there.

I just don't have the time or energy to reevaluate my suspicions right now. Guess I'll try tomorrow.

Can't blame you.

You'd think by sheer probability I'd be right one of these times, right? Guess not.

That's awesome.

EV-ER.

Well, I totally understand if I get auto-lynched tomorrow, but I won't be the last mafia so... I'll try to do whatever reevaluation and hunting I can tomorrow/Sunday, I suppose.

The way my life is going, I'm kind of hoping Orville Redenbacher is actually God.

I've developed a new rule for further mafia interactions with Elo, for all of eternity:

If I think she's mafia, she's definitely civilian. If I think she's civilian, she's probably mafia.

Only one question:

How the hell did Nite Owl II make a video announcing Eloh's death when he died a few days ago?

I think I need a break.

Okay, one last bit of shameless gloating before I call it a night. I couldn't decide which of these to post. What do you guys think?

Option #1



Option #2


Option #3



:P

If you really wanted to go there, you could have just brought up the fact that, in Death Note, "daddy" spent nine hours commenting on every single post you made, which required eight posts due to website restrictions.

I don't know why I brought that up except to say that I spent nine hours commenting on every single post you made, which required eight posts due to website restrictions.

Ack. Sorry I missed pretty much this whole lynch cycle. One of those days at work and then got sucked into dinner plans and couldn't pull away to check. I hate missing votes. Especially when one vote can really matter, and the result was not good.

Will respond to posts tomorrow.

I can empathize 100%.

Unfortunately, breaks don't help me. :P

Guess I suck at baddie hunting regardless of my methods.

Hate to say I told you so, but I fucking told you so about 15 damn times. Tunnel much?

And yes Scotty, I'd have gladly gotten in on that action. Bets 4 days.

i am very bad at mafia, and also drunk, and that was sooooo obvious

I feel awful.

Gotta admit that I was sucked into MP's argument a bit there and went down the rabbit hole.

I'm now 0/3. (Well, I still don't know if Cookie is good, but still)

My list still stands. #2 LoRab, but I think my #3 Russ is sneaking up again..

Obvious? That's an overstatement. You've been defending her all game sure, which, to be frank, mafia could be doing just as well as civ. If you were mafia, of course it would be obvious.

Her voting patterns indicate that she had some idea, but I'm still confident mafia was bussing espers Day 4. I am discounting Cookie right now since she's been away and I just don't think she had the mastermind behind it (Yes, I know Sloonei and espers are helping Big Figure from the grave).

That leaves my #2 LoRab, and #3 Russ.

Those should be lynched next, in that order.

I agree, Scotty.

#2 LoRab and #3 Russ.

And #1 MP.

Though I might consider replacing Russ for G-Man. I keep seeing people claim G-Man is staying hidden and they may have a point.

I need to look at some ISOs.

Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 Day 4 Day 5

G-Man, thanks for those technicolors. I know I knocked them last Day period, and I still firmly believe they shouldn't be the only source of information, but they are an important one.

Cookie, you still wondering why the mafia has kept me alive this whole time? Should be evident now.

Everyone, if you want to lynch me tomorrow, so be it. Going into this Day period, it seemed likely to me that I very well could get lynched anyway, and people were complaining that I couldn't commit. I felt strong about what I uncovered shortly after D5's start about Elo, so I decided to take a stand. Otherwise, it seemed as though I might have been dead meat anyway.

If you want to blame her death on me, that's fine. I realize she couldn't even defend herself. I take full responsibility for that lynch, as I stated earlier. I hate that I caused another mislynch and led to an unproductive D5 and likely an unproductive D6. I'm going to try my best to avoid the latter.

Rico said it best earlier in D5 when he said that the lynch of Elo truly was a test of voting records v. gameplay, because Elo looked pretty good in the former (though not perfect) and terrible in the latter. I took a gamble and I was wrong. For derailing the thread and refusing to listen to counterarguments as much as I should have, I apologize.

Nonetheless, I think that any of you who want to go "BLAME MP" should take a step back and realize that every player here takes an inherent responsibility for their own vote when it is cast (or not cast, which is reprehensible).

I don't apologize for all of the baddie hunting I've done this game. I may have questioned myself too much on Sloonei and espers, and tunneled Elo, but I've done everything in my power to hunt baddies this game. Truly this is a terrible performance from me. But it doesn't make me mafia.

I realize for some (perhaps many) of you, it would take a flip of me to truly confirm that, and nothing I can say would persuade you otherwise. I can empathize.

I was actually feeling selfish earlier this morning, as if I didn't care whether town won this game if they auto-lynched me tomorrow, because it means that I won't win. I put an insane amount of time and energy into this game, and it's been very mentally and emotionally taxing. For G-Man to declare to me that I "need to go" was very bothersome, especially when it can be argued that other players "need to go", for whatever reason. I don't think that should EVER be a reason for lynching anyone. Especially for lynching someone who's put as much effort as I have into this game. If you find my actions suspect, sure. But no one, on sheer principle, "needs to go". This isn't a criticism of you, G-Man, and I don't think that's what you intended, since you have declared my voting record as a reason for me being suspect, but I just want this said nonetheless.

Despite that, the truth is that I still want to see civilians win this game regardless. I'm going to try my best in what will probably be my last hour to make that happen.

I don't want to be lynched tomorrow. Right now, there are 10 players alive. Assuming Moloch is alive and a civilian is NKed tonight, that leaves 7-1-1 going into D6. 6-1-1 if I get lynched, then 5-1-1 going into D7. That's still not bad, but less than ideal, since you all can only afford 1 more mislynch after you'd lynch me. 2 mislynches, assuming successful NK of a civilian each Night, would make it 1-1-1, which is GAME OVER for us. Then there's the complication of the Watchmen additional win cons as well.

Think carefully about how you conduct lynches going forward, including my own, since we're running low on chances.

I just had my longest post ever get deleted on my phone. I want to cry. I didn't save it.

It was my magnum opus.

I don't know if I can repeat it. I spent 2 hours typing it out on this PIEXE OF SHIT PHONE DAMMIT.

I'm about to just give up mafia. I had a lot of circumstantial evidence written out and now I don't know if I will have the time to type it out before the night is over. I'm catering til 4am tonight.

If I get night killed tonight I will have to take a hiatus from mafia. IF YOU KILL ME TONIGHT I WILL LITERALLY RAGE QUIT.

I was looking at the wrong days, and honestly made the mistake of only skimming Days 2 and 3 since I wasn't around. But Day 3 is the biggest indicator.
I'm not quoting shit because I'm on phone and I'm fucking pissed and quoting shit on a phone deleted my comment by reloading the page when switching between tabs.

I have 20 minutes before my 18 hour shift. Let's churn out what I can.

Safe to say big figure bussed their teammate at least once. The only people not to vote for confirmed mafia are: Scotty, MP, bass and ricochet. I trust all 3 of those. MP this game has chosen...poorly...as have i. Tiny has been gone for a while and I trusted Bass before her departure. Ricochet has given me no reason to believe he is mafia.

Ok.

Espers left end of day 3. Was replaced a day later.

DH votes espers day 3. Backs it up. In the last 10 minutes, (which I wasn't there, but hear it was a madhouse) GMAn gets back after being absent since like 3p. Before that he and posted extensive reads on a multitude of people. How very helpful-sounding, right?

Most importantly, GMan votes for espers in thT last 10 min to save DH, who he had a firm read as civ.

G-Man wrote: Okay, thanks espers. I wasn't sure if you had played with Sloonei before or not. Knowing that you haven't keeps you firmly as a neutral read after Day 1 then.

Note thAt this is the last read GMan has on espers before voting him, even though he had like 5 other people on his radar for more suspicious reasons. But he votes espers not because espers is bad but because he wanted to "save DH". Like 4 more people voted after GMAn in that last 10 min, so it wouldn't be a stretch to assume that he assumed there would be more votes thrown in other directions. DH had a healthy amount of suspicion, after all. And by tieing the vote at 2-2 it at least have him cred in case espers flipped bad.

Where as LoRab essentially votes espers out in Day 4, where she could have tied it, GMAn just tied it on a person he had a neutral read on anyway. Weird voting but again looks good for him if espers does get voted out and flips. Espers was leaving after the vote anyway, so what better time to appear civ

Fuck I have 5 min.
Uhh right so day 4

The people I thought were bussing may not have been bussing teammates. Because Mp started going on his tirade against Elo, it was an easy target to latch onto. Universally made people question the validity of Mp.
Russ votes espers, he's had a bad read on him for a while. Check.
Cookie votes espers. Purely defensive I suspect.
Elo votes espers. Elo had been on the money. Voting her makes me feel like a blithering idiot (which I am, but my mom says I'm special so I must be a special class of blithering idiot)
Juliets votes espers, also on point with her reads.
LoRab votes espers, where she could have voted cookie and tied it like GMan did day 3, but she takes it a step further and just kills the guy. Seems suspect, but not as suspect as GMan's day 3.

GMan votes LoRab. LoRab had some healthy suspicion at this point, but note that GMan did not just vote to save someone like he said day 3. Crap I'm out of time.

Don't do this shit
On the phone if you can help it.
If I am around tomorrow, AND I BETTER BE DAMMIT , I'll further elaborate with quotes from GMan and from DH and such. I promise. If I am not, I beg, implore people to look at GMan as a #1 lynch candidate, followed by LoRab and Russ.

I will continue to defend Mp and his messy as fuck play style this game. Objectively, it is a terrible mafia game if he is mafia.

Tl;dr GMan is big figure. #Peace #shehashadit #godsavethequeen

And if it wasn't clear, I will do everything in my power to keep from being lynched going forward, but I'm afraid there's too much haze around my alignment this game that the heat will continue to burn me until everyone can poke my dead body with a stick and see that it's a civilian body.

Woah, linki w/ Scotty: Will read now.

I could definitely see G-Man as Big Figure.

I'm glad you pointed out those who have not voted for a confirmed mafia because I agree that I'll be absolutely FLOORED if you, Bass, or Rico are bad.

I also agree that if mafia kills you tonight, Big Figure is a fucking pussy.

I hate mafia teams in recent games I've played. They always take the easy way out. Actually earn your win, don't chicken out by killing off someone you know you can't lynch. That's pussy play.

WelL I can concede that if MP is mafia, his day 5 was messy as fuck.

Though there's a huge WIFOM in that logic.

I have to look at G-Man's posts. I'll look at his Day 3, just like Scotty said. I don't promise to post ISOs though, after yesterday I'm kind of tired as mafia. I got lynched with 20 votes in the other game after spending the entire day defending against it.

G-Man, huh? I think I said that G-Man bussing espers to save DH and earn million cred golds on D3 would be quite preposterous. Not to mention that if Eloh would have focused and kept good on her promise to GTH vote G-Man, he would also have ended up in the tie. Interesting to see a different spin on those events.

Look, that's fair. I've explained my reasons for why I did it. I really thought she was mafia. If you still have questions for me, then by all means, but otherwise I understand if you see nefarious intentions in it. If I were mafia, I would never have done something so blatantly brazen at this stage in the game, but I get it, WIFOM WIFOM, so if you don't believe me, that's fine.

Good point raised on G-Man. That does give me some pause. It would have to be an incredibly risky bus by G-Man on D3 regardless.
