There are usually no night powers allowed on Day 0 anyway, so I highly doubt it.

Well a forced vote could be a power used during the day. idk.

So looking at the A Person votes will be a good place to start I think, based on the fact that I think there were people taking advantage of AP's usually quirky posting style to smack a vote down.

Sorry matt. :\

RIP AP. Once again I was wrong about you.

Ugh, I know. Now when AP is finally a baddie, none of us will want to vote him out.

RIP A Person.

RIP A person. If only you hadn't acted so crazy...

Damn, I forgot about the game when we decided to go out for dinner tonight. Just missed it too :-\

I would have voted Ace for straight-up refusing to discuss the reasons for his vote for boo. Of course, by the time I'd voted there would already have been more than a dozen votes for AP, so it wouldn't have mattered much.

Still, I'm sorry I missed it; I'll probably be voting a few hours early from here out so I don't forget,
and get a taste of whatever MP has saved up for the second offense >.<

RIP a person :/

rip ap. :/

So sorry, AP . For day 1, the odds are we will get one of our own whether we vote random or think we have something to go on. Still, I was really hoping for a baddie lynch right off the bat. Would have been cool.

Everything's okay! I hacked A Person and now he will target our enemies.

Not really.

Shit. RIP A Person.

If you're interested, PM me by the end of Night 1 expressing such interest. However, I won't be giving it away for free.

Probably turns your dick into a bomb.

Sorry, but my ex is already my ex, so I shan't be needing this.

RIP, A Person. Shame to see you go so early.

I think Lizzy is a more likely candidate, but for today I have decided to give my vote to Dex. In my opinion, he saw a bandwagon forming against me and saw it as an excuse to jump on board without comment. He just got unlucky that the tide turned as it has.

Votes Dex

I think this bit about Dex is likely spot on.

And Epi, I actually LOL'ed when I read your post.

*facepalm* great. RIP mattchu :c

Sorry I missed the vote everyone! I voted by bolding it in a post, but forgot to vote in the poll. Oh well.

I guess I was wrong in suspecting AP. And from reading back on everything else, I'm starting to think I was wrong about llama as well. I will be reading up more on Dex and other suspicions tomorrow. For now it is bedtime, since I work in 8 hours.

I know someone irl who everyone calls mattchu :o

My brother used to call me mattchu but now he doesn't.

Awww nuts! RIP AP Sorry!!!

Sorry AP! Still getting used to everyone's mannerisms.

Oops.

Rip

RIP A Person.

To the players: - I'm so sorry I missed the vote, I think there's some daylight savings time issues with this forum. I can't believe I hosted a whole game and never noticed that things were an hour off. - but I guess that's because Rox and I were always talking and I was always focused on that game from an EST standpoint. I'm in AZ - which is different from every timezone ever - because part of the year we are on mountian time and part of the year we are on pacific time. In az land, it means "daylight savings time doesn't exist" - but I do forget that some forums do not have an AZ time zone setting. -

FWIW - I was leaning away from A person. I think my last post could see that.

I'm way more intrigued by the whole aces not explaining his vote and dex not explaining his vote. I know wacky things happen on RM, and ya'll have played a bunch of games and feel like the votes should be a given, even a revenge vote or whatever. The rest of us, are not always clued in on. Voting without wanting or offering up any reason WHY you made the vote you made, makes me look at you hard. And honestly - my vote the next day will go to one or the other of them if they don't start talking to us.

I can't see any civ reason to withhold why you are voting someone. Even for the silliest of reasons.

ebwop - "I think my last post showed that much" - grrr... the cause of and cure to all my problems!

also - you - I only remember you're playing because of your sig. I think this is the second time I've seen it.

What do you think about what's going on? I'd like to hear more from you.

Last night I dreamed I was in a universe that combined Bioshock, Mario Kart, and LOST. After outrunning Big Daddy on a go-kart through Boo's castle, I came face to face with Sayid outside of a BBQ restaurant. *SPOILER ALERT* Sayid is really Frank Fontaine (who looks like a giant raccoon).

Last night I was teaching a high school friend of mine to program a 2D platformer while taking a shower. It had EGA graphics and the levels were caves formed of the characters hair.

Also, A person, this was to be expected. I smell a conspircarctry,

I tend to refer to my youngest nephew as mattchew - but that's always how it was spelt in my hed...

RIP A Person. Sadly once again lynched as civ.

Ha, love this! My FB feed is full of people making dates to see Hedwig in Spring 2014. Another twist to throw in there, my name is also Neil.

ebwop: there should have been a [/ ot] up there....

I love the way it sounds and looks but it seems to be one of those games where I constantly run out of bullets and get killed. :'(

You can bash people with wrenches.

That's not a very nice thing to do.

By the time I voted, it wouldn't have mattered who I voted for. I also didn't see a good reason to vote for AP, as the case against him was silly, in my opinion. Instead of hopping on that bandwagon, I threw my vote somewhere else. I didn't see much point in explaining that, so I didn't.

Hi. I missed the vote because I've been traveling a lot the past week and have been busy trying to get an apartment and a job locked down for the coming academic year, so I've been a bit aloof.

I honestly hadn't even looked at the discussion prior to the vote, so this is all in retrospect, but it seems to me like A Person role outed himself pretty early:

A Person wrote:At this point voting randomly seems likely to result in voting for someone not on my team, and since I can't pretend I have anything to go on I might as well try that.

Regardless of if he were lying or not about not knowing the identity of anyone else on his team, this still put him as a strong candidate for the civilian teams, as the Civvy 1 group minus the bots is the only group with exclusively stated role knowledge. He could've easily lied in this position. Or, had he been one of the security bots, as actually was the case, then he was telling the truth and had no role knowledge and blindly guessing would have been in his favor.

Plus, Matt is someone I've known for a long time and isn't one to act deceptively. I would have believed he was a civvy and would not have voted against him.

So those are my thoughts. But I dislike idle speculation, and I especially dislike much of the nonsensical and amateur pseudo-psychological warfare that happens in the mafia threads. I post very seldomly.

One wonders why you agreed to play if you seem to hate the core concept of the game.

Instead of posting seldomly, why don't you post more frequently and show us how it should be done.

Nah, I like watching everything unfold from the afueras. That's just how I like to play mafia. I'll leave the public speculation to you folks. Forgive the intrusion, I'll only butt in when the game dictates I have to.

This has been a really weird game, and it's only night one! Two people voting for themselves, two people refusing to explain their votes and now one person essentially saying "I refuse to participate because I don't want to."

This doesn't seem right somehow. Like refusing to play. How about we all lynch him tomorrow whatever his alliance?

Ha, good one, llama.

Sometimes playing it safe is a quite dangerous tactic.

It's hardly refusing to play. Last I checked, the only "rule" for mafia games is to make the required votes and nighttime moves assigned. Which admittedly I'm guilty of forgetting to do for the past turn, but the blindingly sunny outside realm interfered with plans of its own.

Everyone plays this game a little differently, of that I'm sure no one will disagree. Some people are ardently vocal, as others are admittedly quiet. Seems the talkers are always given the benefit of the doubt over the silent observers, though.



And with that, I take my leave, as I'm taking a bus.
