Elo, I understand your RL situation. Thanks for elaborating. Your vote reasoning for both votes is pretty terrible though, no offense intended, and it puts everyone in a tough spot if you actually are a civilian. I hope you can elaborate on suspects.

MM, it was totally unintentional. [expletive redacted]. I don't know how that happened. I thought I copied the player list.

Elo, can you answer this question specifically please?

I don't really understand what you are asking here. Can you rephrase?

I hardly call it "hyper concerned." Just paranoid of almost everyone

You're exaggerating MP, but I think she was being genuine. I'm pretty sure this exercise was new to her, and the fact that she continued to make baddie reads even after she realized she had eclipsed the mafia team's number makes it genuine.

I've never participated in this exercise before either though. I've just seen it done multiple times.

I know what I'm doing.

For the record, I didn't see anything wrong with it either. Just wanted to see how she'd respond.

I would also like to hear yours MP.

Linki: Hello llama. I'm surprised. I would think you would believe that it would be a better choice than anyone else, not only just as good.

Well, I am honored. I do plan to be pretty active in this game, although keeping up with Recruitment as well is going to be a bear... Lucky for me, I at least have today off.

Going to second Elo's vote for Boomslang. I hear he's a pretty stand-up guy :P

*note to self, Eloh votes for someone D0 after they've been away for a while, before they've posted at all, saying she wants to vote for someone she thinks will be active. In a game with friggin' llama and MM in it. Just saying.*

*2nd note to self. Both of them make D1 votes I distrusted*

*third note to self: look up self in a dictionary, because I haven't actually heard it both ways.*

i'm sorry! I didn't have time to post, was on the way out. only voted llama because it was the popular vote at the time, i haven't read through everything yet. WILL DO THAT NOW.

I wish people wouldn't hurry with their votes when they're not changeable, or stop by in the last minute. It ends up with terrible lynches.

While I tend to view your posts as more civvie like, I don't get why you voted for the most popular option. Why is that the best vote when you have no opinion?


MP, thanks for addressing my questions. You seem pretty civvie to me, but a part of me is paranoid you're playing mind games on us. First, with the most uncharacteristic vote in the game, and then, with this game. Analysing the results like you did, without giving a bottom line about what you thought all this meant worries me. So you observed some things in terms of patterns. Instead of asking us what we think about the game, why not tell us what it made you feel about all the people who participated in the game.

Ice Bear just can't see an interaction like this happening between two mafia. Might just be naive, but this is enough for Ice Bear, for now anyways.

simply put without having formed an opinion of my own (because i didn't read all the posts), i put my faith in the majority's. the likelihood of the biggest bandwagon being full of mafia votes seemed unlikely. I'm reluctant to miss a vote since my participation score is already low ><

anyway why do you think my posts are more civvie like? thats quite an assumption, i am not sure what it says of your orientation

i'm somewhat caught up on the thread now, RIP scotty & Daisy, feeling good about LoRab and boom, neutral on Lacey, slight suspicions on MP and fingersplints

I'm not referring to the fact that you had many mafia reads; rather, that you twice expressed concern over your number of mafia reads.

Why were you concerned about having too many mafia reads?

I just want to point out that this game of yours forces the players to resolve their indecisions into a binary system: civ or mafia. You're creating a tension between the knowledge that there are only so many mafia and the fact that, at this point in the game, people have more suspects than that number. I think it's natural to feel uneasy when listing out your suspicions reveals you're still a way off from narrowing the field.

My main suspicion is still Elo. I still feel that she was bandwagoning, and has not presented much of a satisfactory explanation since.

Which one or two seem most likely to be going with the flow?

After the game was over, I mentioned that I found Daisy's posts to be absolutely genuine and that I felt infinitely better about her. Why didn't you take that opinion into consideration when you voted for her?
