I'm Batman.

It's a tactic; one i disagree with. But it has a strategic goal which makes it a tactic.

S~V~S, what do you think of juliets now?

My opinion of Juliets is pointless, it's why i tend not to weigh in on her. I always think she is bad. I am the person who lynched her for being too nice, lol. I think she has been waffly and evasive. But I also think some people were unfairly aggressive with her. TH come to mind with his constant "Where is Juliets " posts even though people who are friends with juliets outside of mafia told him she was afk.

So to answer your question, while I would not be incredibly surprised were Juliets to flip bad, I don't particularly think she is.

That's bizarre to me. I always think she's good. And here I think she's bad.

LOL~ you don't know her as long, perhaps. The game I lynched her for being too nice was at Hedville, and we have not had games there for years.

She is such a gracious lady that she tends to come across as always good, which is perhaps why I tend to suspect her for the most part.

Probably because the universe dictates it to be so, I also have always seen juliet the exact opposite way to SVS.

One thing is actually the same, though, I think... juliet definitely seems different this game, which would explain why we are all reading her the opposite of how we normally do.

you don't find her to be a gracious lady?

S~V~S wrote:you don't find her to be a gracious lady?

well played SVS

Juliet always comes across as herself, I think, which is someone so nice that she couldn't possibly be bad. Heiots used to too.

Good. Because i don't see how someone could find Juliets to be otherwise, not even you

As i said, I tend to overcompensate for Juliets actual person and think she is bad most games, So my opinion is for shit.

I have been reading back over the last couple of days and see that there is still confusion about my nutella vote and my luke vote on the day we voted twice. i voted luke first in the first part of the day which I'm pretty sure was Friday night. Epi then made a point that he didn't understand why people who had voted nutella the day before (I was one of those people) weren't voting her in the first half of the day.

Epignosis wrote:I'm voting nutella now. It astonishes me that Luke had one vote Day 3 when nutella had 9, and now Luke has a mob on him.

I think it's telling that some people thought two people would be lynched Day 3, voted nutella, and then make little to no mention of her now. And some of these people were uncomfortable with the notion of a double lynch for Day 4.

I commented that this was a good point and changed my vote to nutella, underlining here why i hadn't already.

juliets wrote:Epi's point is a good point and like I said, my vote for luke was provisional. I haven't stopped suspecting nutella I just didnt think it could happen today. So I will change my vote to nutella.

For the next half of the day I was on the road all day. When I got to my destination early I went in and reviewed the thread for the day to see if Luke (who I already suspected) had answered any of the questions people had thrown at him. He had answered some but the answers weren't sufficient so I voted for him. I voted for him last because I didn't even log on that night until somewhere between 8:30 and 9:00.

I really don't understand why any of this is suspicious. People who think it is suspicious should take another minute and read my posts during that period of time. I have the impression that people are taking it for granted that these votes are in some way bad. I'm happy to answer questions about this - i have answered some already - just bear with me on the timing of my response.

Juliet, one thing I'm interested in.

Do you agree - whether for civ or bad reasons - with assertions that you are playing this game noticeably different to usual?

No, thats one of the things that surprises me about what people are saying. I'm playing the same game I always play so I don't understand what people are seeing. That may be the most frustrating thing about this whole thing for me. I've even gone on trips before during games and not been able to post, just like this game.

I was of course worried. It looked like I was getting lynched. I don't know what you expected me to say to "sound worried".

I am going to vote "it depends" because I have played in both open and closed formats and it is different depending on format.

I'm not sure how simply saying "I'm voting someone for obvious reasons" is urgent.

juliets if you were scum who would you defibitely not kill?

Urgent? What do you mean? Urgent in that I needed to get it in before the lynch ended? I think you may mean something else, not urgent. Can you ask in a different way?

You made the absolute bare minimum attempt to save yourself.

Dom, this case on juliets...is it perfect?

Or no?

Oh I see. That's because I was only on long enough to vote - there wasn't time for me to go through a defense, it was a very busy time for me with family and they were more important than the game. Now that I am facing lynch again and I have more time to argue my case and I am doing so. There's not a lot for me to grab onto except the issue about my nutella/luke votes and the fact that I don't "feel" right.

Just in case I'm not on again tonight let me just remind everyone I drive home tomorrow. I will be online Fri morn early, have an appointment mid-day and will be on again in the late afternoon and evening.

Epignosis wrote:Dom, this case on juliets...is it perfect?

I'm pretty convinced by it.

sig woke from his shallow sleep with a start. Something was out there, just beyond the firelight's dim embers. He was sure that had been a twig snapping.

He began to slowly reach for a weapon when a shape burst from the shadowy treeline, straight toward him! He quickly threw up an arm as the Circle of Death assassin tried to fillet him with a curved black dagger. The dagger flared with a purple light, as did the assassin's eyes, and it leapt back to lunge in again, attacking his side. sig spun and dove, scooping up a thick tree branch as he rolled. Turning onto his back, sig swung the branch, slamming the side of his attacker's head as it came at him again, relentless.

sig leapt to his feet as the dark figure shook off the blow, and they squared off. The figure cackled and its eyes flared again, and this time the fire's embers flared up in a purple fiery tentacle, reaching for sig. sig swung at it futilely with the branch, but the flames simply washed over him. He screamed in pain, and then stiffened as the figure buried the dagger deep into his chest.

sig fell to the ground, and the figure was gone before his eyes had closed forever.

Tranq's eyes opened, and he blinked in confusion. He sat up slowly, recognizing the rising sun, and beginning to remember what had happened.

sig has been killed by the Circle of Decay. Tranq has been resurrected!

It is now Day 6.

Sig... He was my friend...

Tranq, why do you think you were brought back so quickly?

Q4All: Why do you think Tranq was killed in the first place?

Sig

RIP Sig, I was leaning more civ on you by this point. I still think Floyd would be a good place to look today, but I want to look over Matt's posts as well.

And I guess it's good that Canuck is gone if she was leaving traps.

How do you know they are traps?

...because SVS said it was a trap?

Why do you want to look over my posts, DF, do you think I'm bad?

I'm just not entirely convinced you wanted to save Luke just because he's new. But as that's pretty much the only ping I have from you, I'm definitely more interested in Floyd right now.

I'm interested in Metalmarsh. And Turnip Head. Maybe both of them.

Oh and Bullzeye, always Bullzeye

Dfaraday-- why Floyd?


I'm more interested in Mac.

But i'd also like to lynch Juliets.

Epignosis was still reeling from the previous night's events, when his situation took a turn for the worse. He was completely unaware of the killer who appeared behind him with an Obsidian Dagger.

The Obsidian Dagger pierced Epignosis' heart, killing him instantly.

Epignosis has been killed by a player wielding the Obsidian Dagger.

zoinks!

I felt his RIP for Luke was a bit odd, and paired with his vote for Nutella when the votes were very close makes me think he could be Luke's teammate. Also, Tranq went after Floyd (including a post pointing out a comment of Floyd's which sounded coached) and was summarily NKed. It could be a setup, but I think it's more likely that he's part of Luke's team.

And RIP Epi!

I'm cheap and available.

Voting timmer 2.0, because I believe he killed both timmer 1.0 and sig. I will be voting timmer every opportunity I have until he is dead.

And I would beseech everyone else to join me, beseech beseech!

I think he was responsible for killing epi too, btw. Villain

Ripiywg sig and Epi

Can you possibly tell us how/why?

Hi golden,

Would you mind holding your horses while we lynch juliets on account of her being scum? Thanks.

The correct answer here was "MacDougall. Because he's my teammate."

Epi Sig

Voting Floyd again.
