Weird. What's up with that?

Why should it ever surprise you?

True enough.

Hey speedchuck, why am I not Mr. Confirmed Townie right now? Lost doesn't have zombies.

G-Man, I did not use being busy as a shield in Season 2 that I recall. In fact i remember working very hard that game and effectively pulling the wool over people's eyes. I recall being pretty active. I wish you didn't act so shady for a civ, because you are only setting us up to fail by misrepresenting things like that.

I was originally against a DF vote because I thought perhaps his higher level of activity was NAI, probably more to do with the theme, but he has taken the theory that there must be baddies in the llama voters and run with. I foresee his vote landing on me and you guys are going to be very disappointed when I flip vanilla civ. I'm not liking what I have been seeing from DF this last cycle. SVS summed it up well when addressing his question to her.

I voted llama because he and a few others jumped on Sorsha for no reason early on. I couldn't see where the Sorsha stuff even came from. I didn't, and don't believe nutella is bad. I didn't at the time believe DF was bad. So who should I have voted for? Speedchuck? I barely know the guy and have never played with him. I don't like to vote out someone I have never played with before on Day 1. I didn't strongly suspect llama, but as I recall I didn't feel better about the other wagons at the time. Don't expect more thought out of that, the game started at a bad time for me, and I probably shouldn't have even signed up since I have been working on knocking out some projects for the site and a couple personal creative projects as well.

This is tough because I'm honestly not feeling SVS as bad either. So that leaves me with who, Sorsha? I don't know how I feel about that option either seeing how Day 1 developed. I have to go to work once MP gets home with my car, I'm going to toss a vote out for now. I may change it from work, I'm not sure how confident I feel I just want to get a vote on the board in case I can't get back here in time. For now I'm voting DF.

Funny you should bring that up. You know who appeared to die in Season 3 but came back later? This guy:

spooky.

Hypothetically, if I could set some paralysing spiders on someone right now, who am I setting them on?

If it wasn't obvious, them's gonna be murderised.

Flick 'em at me, tough guy. I dare you.

G-Man wrote:Flick 'em at me, tough guy. I dare you.

I wish.

I won't kill Daisy. She seems nice.

She is nice. I am sure she will appreciate that.

Since he seemed to blow off my answer without actually reading it, going to vote faraday.

Form a sentence explaining why you sat back for a whole day, contributing nothing, if you are a civvie.

I wanted my entrance to be dramatic.

Functionality speaking, how does the element of surprise rather than baddie hunting help the civvies?

G-Man wrote:Functionality speaking, how does the element of surprise rather than baddie hunting help the civvies?

It doesn't.

I might shoot Epignosis. Tell me why I shouldn't.

G-Man wrote:Functionality speaking, how does the element of surprise rather than baddie hunting help the civvies?

How does forcing artificial ties even after people try to save themselves by moving votes help the civvies?

I'm game for a little experimentation.

G-Man wrote:Fun stuff. Didn't see that one coming.

Linki: Llama moved his vote to speedchuck with about 30 seconds left. I caught it on a refresh and countered it by switching my vote to DFaraday, thereby preserving the tie between Llama and speed chuck.

Double linki: tough break mate.

I don't like your crackheaded brand of experimentation.

Found out early on what happens if there is a tie. Also, the random factor could have resulted in a baddie getting lynched but we weren't that lucky.

Yeah but Llama tried to save himself any you would not let him.

That was why I was sniffing in your direction. Although I doubt you would have done such a thing when bad, it still was not a pro civ move imo.

*and not any

Epi's posts are roughly 66% fluff.




I'm not shooting him.

ebwop: 66% fluff and OT.

Excluding G-Man (if only), Daisy (town read), Epi (vanilla civ mentality, maybe) and DFaraday (likely lynch candidate). My shortlist to shoot is now:

Dom
SVS
nutella
Sorsha
speedchuck

I'll read through them in the next few hours. I can shoot them today or tonight. The latter will give them time to make their case, but I could be role blocked. If you're here, tell me what to do.

For now I'm voting Nutella, even though she's not my top suspect. Because that's what people do when they are in danger of lynching.

Dom makes me want to shoot nutella. I'd rather not shoot Dom (as long as I'm shooting today), because his alignment would be more showing depending on how DF flips.

If someone could outline the case on me, that'd be great.

Me neither. Should I claim my character?

Sorsha wrote:Put my vote on llama for now. I'll change it later if saving myself is a possibility.

Where would you change it to?

Wherever I'd be able to tie or put someone else in the lead

Ah, so you'd change your vote to save yourself.

Okay then.

From your comment about spitting up sand, my thoughts are you could be Paulo or Vincent. I don't recall anyone else being around sand to the point it was in their mouth.


You all... You all- You all, everybody...

Lol, nice.

If he's Paulo and Quin is Nikki it feels somehow fitting that both of those characters were given to players who haven't watched the show Filthy redshirts

if speedchuck hinted at being Paulo, that's a problem. I know he outright claimed Sun, but that was after I claimed both losers. I'm not familiar enough with the show to make proper sense of it.

I think you were buddying my sawyer case yesterday.

DFaraday wrote:If someone could outline the case on me, that'd be great.

I voted for you becasue you asked me a question, I answered it, and then you said, basically, that I didn't answer it. Like as if someone had put me into a possible list of suspects, and you decided to suspect me. It felt opportunistic to me.

No I didn't. I said your answer was unsatisfactory to me. I thought Llama's thought process was pretty straightforward: he voted Sorsha, started taking suspicion, then said he would switch to me if other people were willing, but for the time being he would stay on the most viable choice. In real life I don't agree with that strategy, but I understand it, especially in Mafia.

I think we are talking different languages. You put a totally wrong spin on one of my posts. When I explained this, you said nope, unsatisfactory without actually addressing what I said. This tranalates to me as suspecting me in order to have a suspicion.

Fast-reading. Very busy night.

Grades were due this week and I took my wife out to our first date in three years.

I refuse to lynch you today for that reason, lol. I'm glad you guys got a date night.

I'm voting for you because you keep voting for people for doing things you don't like as opposed to things that are indicative of being mafia.

I shot nutella. Sorry if I goofed.

Regardless of DFaraday's alignment, I'm a little disappointed that when DF talks more, he gets lynched. I like talkative DF.

Day 3 has ended.

No one has been lynched.

Nutella was buried alive after being bitten by a spider. She was:
It is now night 3. You have 24 hours to send in any PMs.

I goofed.

Given G-Man and I have a power role of some sort each, DF's survival has a connection to the mafia.

Frick. Ah well, it could have been worse.

Poop I missed it. Doesn't look like it would have mattered. Would have voted DF, will do so tomorrow

This.

For what reason? Couldn't the baddies all be vanilla? They were in my games. Honestly, I thought Widmore would have counted as a non-vanilla role but I can't recall what the final determination on wincons was when it was hashed out. INH didn't have an active power but he also wasn't a regular civvie. Curiouser and curiouser. I hesitate to trust anyone rushing to judgement at this point.

I don't consider INH to have had a power role. I also think the balance would be way off if civilians had a unkillable confirmed townie, a bulletproof vig, and a lynch-proof role and mafia had nothing but vanillas.

I went and looked back. Both previous installments have a "Mafia Godfather." I couldn't tell what the first one meant, but the second one couldn't be tracked or checked- it wasn't a traditional "Godfather."

So no, that doesn't look good for DF, but he may in fact be a traditional manner of "Godfather." If that's true, then it means you're wasting lynches on him while his cronies keep on keeping on.

Fun fact: Barring a failed kill tonight or a non-lynch tomorrow, Day 4 is LYLO. You all everybody better be sure about your votes tomorrow.

And now without further ado...
