Do you think he named his whole team?

I personally like to think of us as a squad in like an avengers sort of way, we all kinda are a little off about each other, we might fight and ish, but at the end of the day, we're all homies: kicking butt and taking names.

Regardless, MP, say words.

You've got one too many in your Mafia team

Actually, I'm a few short of the avengers, or the justice league! Maybe It could be the fantastic four?

OK

Well MP has obviously got to go.

Not sure if this is right but my thoughts are that we should look at what talisman everyone chose. There are two talismans that only one person chose. Perhaps that's where the answer lies? As in one person could have saved him using their talisman? Or is it we decide which talisman would have saved him and pick someone in that group?

I thought the talismans were for knowledge. Could one of us have saved him? And how?

I have never played a changeable vote game so thanks for the heads up. Still, many switched votes, suspicious I will find.

That would be a bold move indeed.

I think the implication is that anyone who could have saved him, but didn't, must be bad, and therefore lynched.

This day has been jokey-jokey McJokerson so far. Glad to see some on topic discussion.

It would be crazy if he named his whole team! But, the numbers are wrong. I will vote Made cus I dont have anyone else. If a case makes sense, I would consider switching.

I don't know where I am going to actually vote yet. Boogs has more of a chance of being a baddie as far as I am concerned, but he ALSO has more of a chance of being a more important Civvie role, so I definitely don't feel comfortable voting there. No one else has really pinged me yet.
Made throwing out three names makes me wonder. He just did that in the speed game as well. So is he trying to get those of us who played to associate him this game with Civvie him that game, or is he really a civvie? I don't feel strong enough either way as I think he is tricky to read.

I think it's buddying and blendy to gain the three trust that he is Civ. The more I think about it, I dont think he would call out his teammates. But his behavior makes me want to test the waters of voting him. I would be very pleased if this was his idea to buddy up to get Cred and we get a mafia member the first day.

As for me being bad or good Fingersplints, wasnt aware there were multiple copies of the basic guys because the upgrades were listed there also. I understood after I posted 33 they were upgrades but my count went to 13 and i realized where the last 6 were then.

Last game I threw out names because they voted Halloween sucked in the preliminary poll. I said this before I received my role. Since the game is over, I can post screenshots with timestamps if you would like.

Regardless. These people my partna dem.

Well your "partna dem" seems like a ploy to me. I dont see how anyone can on a Day 0 say they trust 3 players when no lynches or deaths or even concrete discusson has happened. Could be you being naive, could be trying to win favor early. Either way it makes my kitty hair stand up and I think it's a safe bet with you.

In my entire mafia career, I have yet to be on the correct side of a baddie lynch.

I am a bit confused by this game. How could anyone possibly have known the answer? Guesswork?

My reasoning for thinking this is A Epi is tricky and maybe I'm putting too much faith in him, but I think he's making the game in such a way that you have to kind of think about the story and potentially solve puzzles and stuff so maybe I'm looking too much into it and B he stated that everyone looked at their talismans so that's where my thought process came from.

Epignosis wrote:I love that song.

I should mention that this game will include puzzles of various sorts: Musical puzzles, logic puzzles, geometric puzzles, linguistic puzzles and more.

There is also more than one way to win, regardless of your alignment: You could acquire all three Triforces and win no matter what.

Wasn't sure if these puzzles are always going to be obvious or if there may be some stuff that's more subtle.

I'm a bit skeptical of all the confusion. Some of it may be genuine, but some baddies like to feign confusion in thread. I've done it myself loads of time.

As far as I know Epi has said (in the signups) we don't have to do anything this game. Maybe people are reading too much into everything but it all seems pretty straight forward to me at this point.

I don't know, I always find Sabie's "oh gosh, how does this work? I don't know what I'm doing!" schtick suspicious, but she has done it in a bunch of games now, so I don't know if it means anything.

hedgeowl' bothered me more then sabie's. Sabie has otherwise contributed. Hedgie has not.

This isn't an Idk what I'm doing type deal. I just was speculating.

Wasn't trying to sound confused just having fun speculating. I have nothing to hide this game so I have no reason to pretend otherwise.
On another note everyone who has voted so far seems to be voting because someone was confused, someone voted for them, or in Made's case because he made a random statement trusting people. Not sure where my vote is going yet.

That is untrue. I think most of the votes were placed to try and figure out if the changeable votes feature was working.

Based on a quick re-read, Dom seems to actually think MM is bad, MM returned the vote, your vote was testing, and boogs vote was actual thinking I'm bad.

Correct me if I'm wrong tho.

I am unclear about Dom and MM. They might really suspect each other but it read jokey to me, and I figured they may have voted each other as it is impossible to "unvote"
No one has voted for confusion as sabie has said though.

Dom...what do you think of MM? Why?

Randomiser.

No idea who I'll vote for. Only thing thats really seemed likely odd was Made's declaration of trust, but even that might mean nothing.

Snow Dog wrote:Randomiser.

Really? Why?

I guess I'm just not sure. Day 1 is hard because not much has happened yet. I figure posting random thoughts about the game is better than being a dreaded low poster. By confusion I meant confusion over the vote switching issue. Point I was trying to make was there hasn't been a ton of basis for votes yet or a whole lot of speculation regarding who might be the baddies. Though I'm not one to talk since I haven't done a whole lot of that myself yet.

Yea the day one poll is always the hardest to figure out who to vote for.

That's clearly not the kind of confusion you meant, and now I want to vote for you.

Even if this was intentionally misconstrued i don't see what's gained from doing so, especially this early in the game. Sounds more like a logic slip up than a baddie slip up to me.

Hoping to vote within the hour...

Maybe, but it felt like she was playing revisionist history at the first glint of suspicion, which is something baddies do when they are afraid that they've been discovered. I still haven't made up my mind about who to vote for yet, though.

Wow a whole lot of jumping on trivia going on, eh? Just kinda skimming on the bus.

Dom is acting very weird to the point of maybe something is up with him. So not voting there. The people making a federal case out of Sabie ping !me more than Sabie does, although the nub card can only be played so many times. I will be home soon, and do a bit more than skim.

It was all in fun (I tried to use smilies). My vote will not likely stay on Dom.

S~V~S what do you think of what Made said about trusting people?

i am voting for mm to keep him on his toes.

Wow, what a weird day period so far. Sorry I really haven't posted to my normal levels (or am I? ). I've been distracted with PhD, Doctor Who, and other stuff.

I don't see a baddie Made doing something like that, though I really have no idea about his alignment yet. Nonetheless, I don't think Boogs is necessarily suspicious for jumping on him for lack of anything better either.

I really am not sure I've seen anything pingy to me other than MR's self-vote, which in principle bugs the SHIT out of me when civvies do it this early. I hate randomizing, but at least if you are a civvie, "randomly" voting someone else at least means you could possibly catch a baddie, right? You can't do that by voting yourself. I know he could be a civvie self-voting, as I've seen civvies and baddies do it, but to do it this early really really bothers me. So that's where I'm going.

I MAY be back before the poll's end, but I may not.

votes MR

And I have no clue what's going on with Dom and MM but I have to leave for class momentarily and I just don't want to touch that quite yet. It hasn't struck me as anything suspicious, just weird.

I self-voted to start things off. But that was mainly to test that we could change votes, which happened to be false at the time.

I've never randomised before but in every game I've played something has usually struck me by now. I may just ask my girlfriend to pick the name she likes the least.

Well i said randomiser to see what reactions it would bring. But seriously, if i don't see anything it may have to be random. Now anyone care to explain how i go about randomising? Where is the Wombat when you need him?

Linki Hah more reaction!
