I think we need dumb luck to get either. But it ain't me.

I'm not talking about the master recruiting MM though. I'm talking about whoever recruited Roxy. Why can't we look at how people played with Roxy? Who voted for her, who didn't, why or why not, that seems like a good start. Why are you saying there's nothing to look at?

Well, first of all, i don't think that MM was recruited by The Master. The recruitment you saw in his lynch post was a recruitment from the same person who recruited Roxy.

Second, I studied, analyzed, and theorized every vote of Roxy's, trying to first figure out if there was anything to her claim, since I didn't want to go after and lynch a civ. Then I went over it again, when I thought that The Master was the recruiter. Then Dom pointed out that The Master with recruitments would be WAY to overpowered, and I agreed. Then I went over other people's votes and posts looking for info on The Master, since he has a kill. That's when I came to the conclusion that I was of the opinion that MM never made contact with The Master.

He's a loner... it's going to be very hard to find him. I'd say look at the people who survived NKs, and I know that would include me, but we've already done that, and all the people who have survived NKs got vouched for.

You jumped down my throat for trying to look at Elo... and then siad it was just a read. She's survived Strax's kill... why can't she be The Master?

As far as the recruiter... I already explained what happened there.

TH, I'm not sure you realize it, but there wasn't one Cyber lynch, and as for as anyone knows, not a Cyber kill before I made the case on Sabie. I'll allow that Roxy sent me in the direction, but no one was looking.

I did. And I got us Sabie. And if we get to lynch Bass, that'll be another CyberMan.

Why is it you suddenly suspect me of being the recruiter or The Master when I don't do enough to look for them?

I'm not stopping you or anyone else, am I?

Go ahead! Be my guest. Go nuts.

I'm kinda confused by this one...

You know what? I'm tired of people who don't play the game living, while the ones who do play the game get NKed or lynched.

Well, until she comes back or gets replaced, I'm going to vote for Dana. And after she comes back or dies, I'll then vote whoever else isn't playing.

And once everyone is playing again, then I'll start baddie hunting.

If you think this is a baddie ploy, lynch me...

Chris, you didn't get us Sabie. You need to stop posting these wacky cases or you are going to get yourself lynched, and I ain't coming to the rescue the next time!

Ok.

I'm done.

I'll do my own research, and vote for who I think is a baddie.

But only after Dana is playing again, replaced, or dead.

That is, of course, if I survive this upcoming night post.

Playing Yahtzee with people who insist on firing the dice from a trebuchet gets old after a while too.

I hear yeah Epig. But Jesus fuck! Dana hasn't voted or posted since day 4, with the exeption of this:

Dana wrote:Okay, first thing first. I want to sincerely apologize for being MIA for the past few days. I'm especially sorry to BWT and Bea for not participating as much as I should be in this great game that you both worked hard on. Midterm/project season has been kind of insane but I'm going to try as hard as I can to keep up and be more involved. I've been checking in to read the night and lynch posts, but as far as actual conversation, I'm still pretty far behind.

The one thing that I've seen that I think I should address as soon as possible was Nijuu's case against me has the wrong person. She says I have a lot of posts defending Snow Dog and then I voted for him, but I was speaking about Daisy (I had only said SD. I'm pretty sure I wrote out Snow Dog every time and only used SD to refer to Daisy). I didn't ever defend Snow Dog, which is why I was surprised about his lynch result because I actually did believe he was bad. I defended Daisy because I strongly believed she was good. I thought this was an important thing to bring up because it changes the situation greatly when you see that it was two different people.

Now back to catch up, and once again, I'm extremely sorry.

Where is she? Why is she getting a pass? Why the fuck am I putting my neck on the line playing this game, and she hasn't done anything. And while she's the most extreme, there are other players who are barely playing as well.

So yeah, I feel yeah Epig. I'm sure I posted a lot lately. That's what I do when I'm at risk of being lynched. But fuck, if more than just a few of us played this game the way it's supposed to be played, I wouldn't be posting so much, and trying so hard.

And then as a reward for 2 days of looking for mafia, I get suspected for not doing what TH calls enough. And keys saying I didn't get Sabie lynched.

It's like, why bother?

So don't worry Epig. No more trebuchets. Not even sling shots.

From now on, all my dice rolls are straight outta the cup, by hand.

I actually agree with what Chris is sayng about absent players. Why should people who are actually playing the game get all the heat?

If you survive tonight Chris(by which I mean not targeted, if you survive a NK is another matter) I think I may lay off you. No promises.

I am down Acolyte of Death Ela the deadwood. Is Dana Dr. Von Dreszen lowest living poster?

Actually no, there are several below her. Ninjablooper looks like the lowest. Then there are some people like bass, BR, Gotrees, Elo, etc. I didn't name them all or name them by number of posts just giving you an idea.

faraday and hedgie are the other two I see that come before dana. But, maybe chris is looking at voting record as well as posts.

Turnip Head wrote:I think Chris is the recruiter.

It's certainly a possibility.

keys56000000000 wrote:Epignosis, I think Chris was targeted by the Cybermen and lived. So The Master is all he could be, other than this mysterious recruiter fellow.

Chris ain't the recruiter, TH. He's a civilian. Belie' dat.

How do you know he hasn't been recruited?

Let's lynch all the non actives!!!!!!?????




MP seems pretty confident about Dana...

No Dom. Not all of them!

Dom wrote:MP seems pretty confident about Dana...

OH! I forgot about that!

I'm sorry....

Forget that she hasn't participated in THE most important part of the game mafia for the ENTIRE 2nd half, and made one post in that time frame.

MP says she's god.


OK, so... forget Dana, where do we look?

WAIT! I know a better way... let's make a list of who HASN'T been vouched for... Surely The Master and the recruiter will be in that group, right?

And before you get all NO Uy again... its not an attack on you. Rather, it a thing about all the vouching.

you need a xanax or something jesus christ

Wow.

I actually don't know. He could very well have been recruited.

This is true, Chris. It doesn't do us civs any favours.

I haven't vouched for anyone Distracted Jeff MP. Joker failed started treating MP like the role we all know he is back when I figured out that he Kate indeed that role.

Also, I always love the GIFs. I am executed GIF balloonery.

Ha ha ha, I remember when the chill pill used to make an appearance in almost every game



That said, I do not think Chris is the Master. I asked him something, he had a 50% chance of making the wrong answer, and he made the right one. That said, ALOT of what he says is based on his beliefs and suppositions. He's one of those people who gets an idea, and makes a leap of faith and is totally sure it is true.

I am guessing it would be an exercise in futility to ask for the Cliffs Notes, so I will spend some quality time rereading the last day or so, but not too much cause the last time I did that at night, I read for like hours, and then my ass got killed.

He will. Eventually.

Yeeeeeep, definitely wasn't expecting that. Yikes

You weren't supposed to look at them...

ninjablooper, glad to see you here. Can you share with us what you think about any of these players being talked about or even someone not being talked about lately? I'm not asking for a big case, just some thoughts.

I find the push against inactive players, Dana in particular, very suspicious, and I will do everything in my power to avoid a Dana lynch because I am positive she isn't bad.

Yes it can be frustrating when people don't play but the hosts have already replaced so many players and Dana contributed plenty early but hasn't been around in a while - no one is telling anyone how much or how little to post. Just because she hasn't come back doesn't mean she's bad, just that she is a busy and disinterested civilian.

Don't let your dislike for inactive players interfere with baddie hunting. If Chris continues going this direction, you better bet I will try to lynch him.

Wow...

Like, even if I'm a civvie?


And you have no problem with her missing 4 votes, in a row, out of 8?

Just so I don't leave you hanging, I'm catching up a bit - I honestly missed the whole case on sabie, so that'll give you an idea of how far behind I am

As far as Epi goes, I really do think he's just burned out. I've said it before and I'll say it again - people say he acts strange/different/like a baddie, but he really just acts like himself, so it's not particularly weird behavior to me. Even though I know I'm a quieter player, I advocate having a look at quieter players, since surely not all of the baddies are out in the open like he is.

Are people saying Chris is the Master? I think I saw that a few pages back, but haven't gotten a chance to see exactly why this is so. I'm begrudgingly willing to glean posts and posts for it, but I'd much appreciate the shortened version if someone can oblige me

Linki: Interesting you say that, MP. My comment is certainly not out of dislike of quieter players (obviously); it's really an observation. The problem is, it's hard to build a case against them without looking like, well, you don't like their quietness.

I don't even know if any of that made sense. I'm so fucking burned out and tired from work I don't even know half of what I'm saying anymore

That doesn't make her a baddie, does it?

Not at all, but it sure might make her decide to start playing again...

I just think I'm in a foul mood because I know I'm going to die, and it's going to be because I made cases...

No, Chris, if I really strongly felt you were civvie I would not vote you. But truth is not sure whether you are and it's undeniable that ever since you survived those 2 NKs your play style has transformed from relatively under the radar to incredibly over the top. That in itself isn't am indication of anything but if you seriously think leading lynches on quiet players because you're annoyed with them makes more sense than actually baddie hunting then yes you deserve to be heavily suspected for that.

I found Snow Dog's "yeah!" even more suspicious than your thoughts on the matter frankly.

If you are a civvie Chris please continue to baddie hunt. Do not vote for someone because you are annoyed they aren't posting. That does us no good. Especially since you were possibly onto something IMO with your previous analyses regarding Bass and Snow Dog.

That's all.

And don't worry man I know how it feels to pour your heart and soul and time into really playing a game to your full potential and losing it because disinterested players didn't do the same. But don't let that cloud judgment or the reality that it doesn't necessarily make those players bad.
