I understand the contest, but those first few pages were a bit of a nightmare to get through.

Day 0 and he seems to be trying too hard to find something on someone.

Okay, so I just saw that there may be another option for me to vote. Niju. She has posted ONCE all game (Day 0). I know it's early and Niju is a quiet player. She usually posts only once a day. However, its easy for me to tell the difference between her quiet, helpful, civ playstyle and her quiet, laying low, baddie playstyle. I will keep this in mind if I can get back here before EoD. For now, sig, though.

Do you? But really, I considered going with what I keep saying I'm going to do every game beginning and go after a super-low poster. Problem is, that happens to be me yet again.

These votes are stupid spread out, and among people I believe have either been simply playful, or really haven't done anything ping-worthy, IMO. I think most very strange behavior Day 1 is avoided by baddies, and the types of things people are voting for (e.g., sig's theorizing, although I'll admit I had to tear myself from a vote for him because temptation but also not wanting to kill the guy AGAIN on Day 1; Scotty's "I haven't looked at my role card!" [because what reason is there for saying this as a baddie? I hope I don't eat my words]) fall into that category of "Why would someone do this Day 1 as a baddie?" I'm not saying it wouldn't happen and hasn't happened, but I'm saying it's not likely, and I avoid voting like that. Really, I found this post by Quin to be subtle, yet suspect:

Um, since info on the poll is confirmed, I think we should be clear on why we are voting as we do. I am choosing Ice Cream Jerky since, A~ It does not have meat in it. And B~ I have had that freeze dried "space astronaut" ice cream, and it was acceptable. Most of this except maybe Fruit Loop Quesadilla,sounds awful.

Also never saw this if that makes a diff re options.

You mafia.....?

And SVS response.

S~V~S wrote:OMG, no lol.

I find it to be very strange.


This seems like an attempt by Eloh to look townie and make it seem like she doesn't have information while she really does.

Host: Does anyone have info on this poll?

not me

In other news, I have strong town reads for Epi, Wilgy and Elohcin. I'll elaborate on that later.

He did somewhat elaborate later on the suspicion of SVS, but that's not really what I'm pointing out. What gets me is why he would choose to point out three names and give them "strong town reads" on Day 1, claiming to explain later. Why do this? Buddying? Trying to appear like he's contributing? And why put a target on them? Going back, there isn't really a big reason to pick these three out of the bunch for "strong" town reads. Nah. This is weird. I know it's nitpicky, but it does kind of go with my desire to pick someone quiet(ish), yet subtle, for Day 1, instead of someone who stands out. Gonna vote Quin.

sig wrote:Also I "switched to easily" Since as I said multiple times I wasn't that invested in a Scotty lynch I switched to lorab since I found her more suspicious and had no reason to vote for Scotty. This was an obvious attempt to get me lynched which is why with less than three minutes left matt switched his vote as did I, to vote Lorab making it possible for Epi and him to tie me with Scotty.

THIS is after he said something positive things about me and negative things about Scotty.

Matt wrote:Lol. I try to save you, Scotty, and you tell the town to look my way.

Blah.

Discuss.

Matt wrote:Hmmm

After doing some detective work, I believe sig is A-okay. Or at the very least, he's not Yin or Yang.

Russ - I have no problem taking credit for the lynch result, but I acknowledge that it would've never gone down like that had I not seen a chance to save Scotty after Epi's vote.

Lol @ Russ calling other votes lazy. Do you even think I'm bad Russ?

Not sure yet. For now just pointing out a ping.

You say my vote was lazy - please elaborate.

I would say that your vote was just as lazy as Bwt's so calling him out on it was a bit ironic. And also, ask Scotty, I don't like peeps getting votes just cuz they haven't posted that much on Day 0/1. Deeeerp.

I'm not I still am probably the top poster.

This attempt to lynch me is foolish and wrong and will not succeed I'm not dying day 1 again.

@Eloh Yeah I was looking for things day 0 I was ready to start the game and not have any more fluff, plus I wanted to get going so I did. I see nothing wrong with this, also what an obvious No U vote.

I'd also like to point out BigDamnHero is voting for me based off of pre game talk as in nobody had their role card talk. This is a perfect cover for a mafia member to do and if not a mafia member a very bad townie. don't be a ignoramus and don't be a dupe lynch someone other than me.
Don't be a person who is hoodwinked by Eloh.

It took you ages to get back to my question. I don't think you're low posting, but I wanted an answer bc I thought (resutl of lynch gives me pause) you were bad.

Your response, though, I think, was well analyzed by Rob.

If you wish to either gift or use an item, you must send a PM to both myself and MP by 4:30 PM EST, just like your night action.

Wait, why vote someone who replaced in and thus had less time to post, instead of voting for someone like Matt, who at the time of your post had given himself a deadline to come back and contribute and then missed it? This vote seems hyper-lazy to me.

sig wrote:For little to no reason, but I could see you not having anything to do with this. MAtt on the other hand is no doubt mafia for that last minute switching to attempt and save scotty.

It is silly to vote off scotty but you'll vote for me for switching away from scotty since I thought it was also not smart to vote for him. So instead you'll lynch, this makes no sense what so ever you're a baddie.


I feel confident about my chances to live. If I do die, make sure to lynch Matt and then Scotty.

If you think Matt was trying to save Scotty, wouldn't it make more sense to lynch Scotty first?

@Scotty, I was referring to how your rolecard comments sounded like an attempt at avoiding responsibility in the early going. But now that you've been around contributing, I'm feeling better about you.

I missed Matt. I was trying to look at people who hadn't posted much in the game to that point and/or hadn't been around in awhile. I was trying to leave for work and had to do it from memory, so that's probably how I missed Matt.

sig wrote:Well I'm not surprised I believe the mafia attempted to kill me last night and they failed.


I think, no I'm becoming increasingly confident Epi, Dom, and Matt need to be lynched. One or two are mafia and the other is Ying/Yang. Now this was a mafia kill and I believe it was directed at me since I'm being active and was right about one or multiple mafia members.

Now this is a day 2 read, so I might be wrong, but Epi seems very mafiaish this game not posting much at all and being very under the radar, this is different then his BattleStar gameplay and more like his Turf War gameplay, I hate what Matt did at the end of the last phase this is very very pingy. Dom is a little bit different I just have a really bad gut feeling on him.

also yay I'm off the poll have fun trying to get rid of me again.

linki: Of course.

My laptop is still toast so I'm posting from work now that the bosses are gone home... Sig, can you flesh this out? If I'm understanding you, you are suggesting that the late surge against you in the lynch was baddie-led, and you say that Epig, Dom and Matt are the main focus for you. But if this was baddie-led, then doesn't that mean that Scotty should be your #1 priority? There are only 3 baddies... if they were scrambling, it was to save someone no?, so it has to be Scotty who was being saved?

I'm just confused as to why you are suggesting this thought process but including Dom, who didn't vote you, and NOT concentrating on Scotty. Am I misunderstanding?

I'm working off of this:

Scotty
4
SokothQultuq (7), insertnamehere (11), DFaraday (14), LoRab (15) 20%

sig
4
BigDamnHero (2), Elohcin (9), Epignosis (19), Matt (20) 20%


I'll catch furthur up as my workload allows.

Am I not allowed to have a life.

I'm very suspicious of Epi, Matt, and Dom right now. I suspect at least one if mafia, one is potential Ying/Yang, and the other is most likely a civ who I'm wrong about.
