It says "most" used items are put in the safe...does that mean some items have a finite use? If so, will we be made aware if an item (identified or not) is no longer in play?

BDH, regarding the first part of this post - you got on Quin's case for doing this about a different important civ role; why ask for information on a civ role? Anything we do get from the hosts here is way more likely to help baddies than us.

I wasn't asking about a civ role, I was asking for clarification on game mechanics, specifically how the various aspects of the items work. There's a BIG difference between seeking role clarification from the host and pointing a finger at a player as potentially being a key civ role. I don't feel I "got on Quin's case" especially snce it was one simple comment. Personally, I try never to make public connections between a player and a civ role to keep their anonymity safe for as long as possible. Why bring undo attention to someone who may be our teammate?

In part since Matt voted for me, which makes me more likely to think he is a baddie. However, he is arrested today so I wouldn't advocate for his lynch, even if we could lynch him.

But this just adds to my point. You say Matt voted for you, and you think he is bad, and previously you referred to it as a save (correct me if I'm wrong?). And correct, Matt is not able to be voted for.... so all the more reason to vote for Scotty then, isn't it?

Why say Matt is bad, but refuse to consider voting for the guy he was theoretically saving? Because with the shenanigans at lynch's end, I'm kind of in favour of looking Scotty's way, and I'm baffled that you aren't, with what you're saying.

If you don't actually think Scotty is bad or was being saved, what makes you think the last-minute voters are bad? Just because they voted for you? Like, this isn't a giant collective NO U... right?

Again, I'm going to look back through Scotty's posts, because I feel like that lynch points to a possible save.

No I am strongly considering Scotty, but last night I was in a NO U kinda mood, so I wanted to lynch Matt first. As of right now I'm thinking of lynching Dom or Scotty.

I know Epi thinks you are civ. I would like to trust him in that, but I am not sure I can. You are SO all over the place!!

I would rather start a lynch train on him. I think he's on and talking to his Mafia counterparts.

That's because I was work'n on a post. 8-) Your welcome to start a Lynch train on me, I just hope you can explain why. LOL

I like you, Sokoth I think your run down of Wilgy is quite good and it's probably the best theory I've heard so far this game.

Scotty wrote: As I said I'm not going to build cases, all of these are hunches that I'm not expanding for time.

Look back through my brief posts. There's nothing sudden here. He was on my day 1 list. But that's neither here nor there.

Dom or Epi today.

I'm only picking a few people that catch my eye in reading through the thread.

I know I'm not one to talk, b/c I don;t have tie to build cases atm either. But, how does throwing names out there with no explanations help find baddies?

After catching up, I am up for voting for Scotty or Wilgy. Wilgy b/c Sokoth's ISO or whatever you wanna call it was very good and makes him look bad. Scotty b/c he SEEMS like he is very active in the game and trying to be helpful, but he really isn't. He's trying to look civ, but naming players and giving no explanations doesn't help find baddies. In fact, I will go ahead and play my vote on Scotty for now.

well I've gotta go to bed and probably wont be up before day ends, so I'm casting my vote for Scotty.

I think you are organic in this suspicion and when I am mislynched I wouldn't suspect you postmortem.

But seriously...I wouldn't lynch me if I were you.

Question for everyone:

Who do you think is the most suspicous looking person on my train?

Sorry I missed the Day 1 vote. Unfortunately I do not have a ton of time to hang around/catch up today, but I will do my best to do so.

No, timmer. We should not do that thing you mentioned.

I would like to vote Dom, Epi or the Klingon today.

Voting for Sokoth now. Could change, who knows if I'll have time to get back on to make a case or change it. If Epi or Dom get votes, I'll see if I can jump on that too.

Scotty wrote:Oh? Wilgy already voted Dom.

Voting Dom

Wait, what? Why?

I'm now several kinds of confused as to why you would change your vote so quickly. Why do you trust Wilgy that much?

First Scotty lists 3 people he thinks should be voted for then in the next sentence says he voting for a 4th...

THEN...in the VERY NEXT POST...already changes his vote presumably because someone else voted for one of the names he first mentioned...

Now I may have been out of mafia for a while, and apparently changing votes is allowed/the norm...but even so, Scotty has just buried the needle on the suspish-o-meter[/quote]
Yeah....I mean, I've been accused of flip-flopping a LOT in my mafia career, but this takes the cake.

Scotty just jumped way up on my list. Unless he has a really good explanation as I read on.

Mr. Yin – Survives all night kill attempts.

Mr. Yang – Survives all lynch attempts.

One of those goons tried to pop Mr. Yin. If that's the case, then they are going to have to lead Mr. Yin to the noose, but they aren't going to want to be obvious about it. Something to keep an eye out for.

This post is a placeholder post that gives nothing not already said. It's like hot tea on the porch in 100 degrees. Not useful.

I fail to see how this post isn't useful. I personally don't look for this kind of stuff a lot of the time. So when someone posts about it, it helps me out.

Nothing you have said since then has made me feel any better about you. You keep popping up with these suspicions of new players (I think we are up to 5, and I would bet against you having nailed all 3 baddies and both indy roles), do not bother explaining your reasoning why for any of these votes, and the only post of any quality I've seen was a response to sig, which ended with you threatening him if he voted for you and destroyed what little credibility I've seen from you.

Yeah, you're getting my vote today unless something really weird happens.

Votes Scotty

I'll be back in a bit. Going to get a haircut. But before I go...

DrWilgy wrote:I say we end our hosts search for a replacement via lynch. Aren't I the nicest?

You're in the same boat as Scotty is for me right now. Going to flesh out any of your thoughts since you questioned me early on Day 1, or will you continue to expand your pool of potential baddies with little to no explanation of it?

birdwithteeth11 wrote:I'll be back in a bit. Going to get a haircut.

Welcome MM, I still suspect Dom, but don't want to lynch him today since he has a replacement coming in.

I'm becoming wary of Scotty's wagon for two reasons.
1. there isn't much resistance.
2. He is hinting that he has a good role, true he could be mafia doing it but I'm unsure.

I think all of the points Timmer made were valid, but the fact that Scotty acknowledged it as a good case but didn't try to defend against it seals it for me. *Votes Scotty*

Question: Who is the least unwilling to be lynched today? You're getting my vote for the time being.

And for the record, I most definitely am a marmot.

I'm glad no one is answering my previously asked question.

Sure, I look suspicious. I'm giving minimal effort as I proceed to move halfway across the country.

So if no one gives me some names, my hands are tied.

If I were to not be lynched today, who on the train would you rather see lynched?

I will finally have time to catch up tonight.

Poll ends in 3 hours? I say we lynch rabbit so he doesn't have to catch up.

Metalmarsh89 wrote:Poll ends in 3 hours? I say we lynch rabbit so he doesn't have to catch up.

NOW I see the value of being able to change votes!

Scotty has a 5 vote lead? I'll be shocked if this is a baddie.

Sorry I haven't had time to be on the past day or so. I suspected Scotty yesterday and that hasn't changed. So voting him again.

DrWilgy, do you disagree with the bigdamnhero?

DrWilgy wrote:Scotty has a 5 vote lead? I'll be shocked if this is a baddie.

Eyyyyy I'm the easy lynch here. So why not everyone pile on! Hopefully someone finds the football at the bottom of this dogpile.

And to BWT: I'm not voting Dom because Wilgy was. The only reason I mentioned Wilgy is because he had already voted for one of Dom or Epi that I said I would vote for if they had vote traction. Since I wrote that first message and didn't realize Wilgy had already voted for Dom, I went ahead and voted Dom instead of Sokoth. I don't know if Wilgy is bad or good.

This is not my best game, but it is what it is, and I still stand behind my gut reads of Epi/Dom/Sokoth even if I look fishy for it.

What's up psychos? Why are we lynching Scotty?

I don't see how this chain of events is at all related.

Final decision before I go to work:

Epi looks bad.
INH's vote looks bad.

Dom looking to be replaced is not alignment indicative and I still think he's bad.

Sig...is either the main dude, Yang, or has an item of some sort.

Chau all

Shawn and Gus strolled into the Santa Barbara Police Station and over to where Juliet was sitting at her desk. She smiled at them as they approached, "Hey guys, what's up?"

"We heard you had a suspect in for questioning and wanted to come watch you work," Shawn responded.

"Why do you always show up uninvited Spencer?" Lassiter said as he brushed past them, heading toward the interrogation room.

Shawn followed him, saying, "Come on Lassie, we're on this case too."

Gus leaned against the wall next to a bench where a pretty girl was sitting. "Hey," Gus tried his cool guy look and went on, "You hear about Pluto? That's messed up."

She gave him an odd look and Juliet interrupted, "Uh Gus? She's a prostitute." The woman lifted her hands to show the cuffs she was wearing. "You coming?" Juliet motioned to the interrogation room and Gus hurried after her, leaving the awkward situation behind.

Juliet, Shawn and Gus watched from behind the glass as Lassiter sat down across the table from Scotty. He looked over the file in front him for a moment, trying to make Scotty sweat.

Scotty broke, "Look man, why am I here?"

Lassiter smiled, it was a disconcerting thing to see, "Well Mr. Scotty. You are here because you've got motive and opportunity to kill MP. What do you have to say for yourself?"

Scotty looked bewildered, "But it wasn't me!"

"Well I've got a pretty angry group of people who seem damn sure it was you."

Chief Vick came in and knocked on the glass and Lassiter looked irritated as he came out of the interrogation room, "Why did you pull me out of there, he was about to break!"

Chief Vick pointed to the television which had live news coverage of Russtifinko's death by mob. He had tried to intercede to save his fiance Scotty from their bloodlust. Scotty saw it too and burst into wailing and mourning, "NooOooOOooo! I thought the new Star Trek movie was the worst thing to happen to me this month but I was wrong! Why my love, Russtifinko?"

Juliet looked apologetic and suggested letting Scotty go for now, everyone agreed it might be the senstive thing to do.


As they left the station, Shawn hung back to talk with Juliet about their date they had planned for later and Gus went on ahead to climb into the Blueberry and turn it on. Only seconds later it burst into a giant fireball. Shawn and Juliet stared in shocked disbelief as people ran around in chaos trying to figure out what had happened. Once the smoldering wreckage of the car could be investigated, they found a clue left behind for them. It was the work of none other than Yin and Yang.



Russtifinko has been lynched in place of Scotty, who gave him an engagement ring. He was Buzz McNab.

DFaraday has been killed by Yin and Yang. He was Burton "Gus" Guster. Let's all observe a moment of silence for the passing of Pluto.

It is now Night 2. You have 23 hours to get your Night PMs turned in to both myself and MP or to let us know if you wish to use or gift your item.

Stay tuned for an important announcement...

I'm receiving signals from the spirit world that Scotty knew he wouldn't be lynched.

Scotty wrote:But seriously...I wouldn't lynch me if I were you.

WHY DIDN'T WE LISTEN TO HIM

Come on sig! You got this.

I would very much like Juliet to cuff me and take me in tonight... if you know what I mean...
