This isn't a barter system. If you're participating and are around on day 1, odds are I'm not voting for you Day 1 anyway. Everyone has their day 1 quirks. It sounds like you are choosing to vote me as a policy and not that you think I am bad, and that I don't think is a great way of going about things.

You're being weird about this.

I should just start playing like MM. He has more fun than I do.

LoRab hasn't posted yet DrWilgy. Does that bother you?

He's saying that if you're inactive after having made the pledge to try to be more active, you're bad. I think that's bunk though. Russ is a suspect.

Oh, Dom said that not Russ.

Weak, Dom.

Weak? I'm so strong, when I win-- and believe me, I'll win-- you'll all be in awe of my strength. All of you.

Also Sorsha wanting to vote prefects sounds like a bad idea to me. I get the impression that prefects have important abilities or something, so why would we want to put them up to lynch right away?

And there's this DFaraday guy. This DFaraday guy-- he's just... well.. do I have to say it? He's not good. No good at all. Lies and twisting the fact like the crooked media. Rooting against me.

Listen folks, Bass better stay active. Otherwise he's saying empty promises and looking to be ignored. That's just despicable. We, as a game, cannot let him get away with this, folks.

Ok I voted JJJ and Scotty because I would like to see a dual between them, and they seem like they'd put up a good fight from what I know from their past games

Voting for 2 No-shows as I don't have time to come up with anything better...

*LoRab/Soneji*

Done with work (for now) and I realized I gotta choose two people pretty quickly. So, another 3 pages to read, but I don't have time. I voted wilgy and bubbles.

Surprised JJJ has so many votes.
Anyway I'm going ahead and voting for Scotty and Wilgy.

I'm sorry but I think voting for two of our Prefects to face off against one another is dangerous and I'm placing my votes accordingly to prevent this.

Dat JJJ train do

I voted for Boomslang and Scotty.

Bubbles wrote:Ok I voted JJJ and Scotty because I would like to see a dual between them, and they seem like they'd put up a good fight from what I know from their past games

I love you Bubbles but this to me is a REALLY bad idea. Considering they have all been prominent in the game so far, I don't understand why we would be wanting to remove any of them so early. I am a little annoyed at this because I've had to cast my votes to prevent what I see bad situation not of my making and not the two players I most suspected...

Just about slept through this accidentally. Voted Dunny/Russ.

Who is a threat to the Han? Appoint two for the duel.

Very good to see that Lyin' Scotty has taken down a member of that terrible terrible organization.

(c) Paid for by Dom/Nju 2016.

The death of Ahuinan, Meng Huo’s third ravine chief of Nanzhong, resulted in a series of misfortune for the farmers of Hsiaop’ei, because it was reported that Ahuinan was cut down in the vicinity of Hsiaop’ei. The misfortune happened all in one night. A band of distraught farmers sought the advice of one of the elders in that region, a learned man who had fathered seven sons and outlived all of them.

The first farmer approached holding a dead rooster. “Armed men came and slaughtered our chickens. They left behind feathers that do not belong to any of our animals.”

A second man came forward and produced the head of a goat. “Armed men came and slaughtered our goats. They left behind yellow cloth, which we do not wear.”

“This is a good omen,” observed the sage.

“How can you say this a good omen?” asked one of the men of Hsiaop’ei.

“Consider that both the barbarians of the south and the mystical rebels have visited your people in the span of the same night, and all of them are accounted for.”

No one has been killed. It is now Day 2. You have 48 hours and two votes each to decide who will be in the second duel.

Okay.

Anyway, I was looking through Wilgy-related stuff during the break and I'll post it now.

Wilgy had 4 votes in the prefect race. I found the posts denoting each of those votes:

Metalmarsh89 wrote:I give my votes to DrWilgy and JaggedJimmyJay, in hopes they will perform as they did in Talking Heads mafia.

I'm leaving for a camping trip soon. I'll be back on Wednesday. Peace!

Since nobody else submitted any gorgeous Steve Buscemi's Eyeballs to the thread, I'm gonna reward Wilgy and pay Leetic back with a tip of the hat and vote his way.

Bullzeye wrote:Scotty's pitch won me over. I am also voting Wilgy in honour of our epic Attack on Titan victory a while back. If Gleam were here I'd have voted the both of them.

Jan wrote:I'm voting for Sig and DrWilgy, both of whom I know.

Don't vote for me, people. I'm not familiar with the concept that much and I won't be very active probably either.

The reasons offered by MM and Bullzeye are both references to different Mafia games, which strikes me as a nice excuse to promote a team mate's candidacy for prefect. INH's vote was motivated by something totally random (Buscemi eyes), which alarms me a bit less. INH had less direct control over who would post Buscemi eyes. Jan limited his votes to people he knows, which may or may not be accurate (I dunno who he knows, this is my first game with him).

I think there's a decent chance a member of the Nanman team propped up Wilgy for prefect, and if that's the case I'd lean to MM or Bullzeye.

Posts about Wilgy after Day 0:

MacDougall wrote:I would like to see Wilgy and JaggedJimmyJay in a duel. Who wouldn't?

Mac's vote was the first for Wilgy, and it seemed more randomized than informed (Mac can contest or affirm that). This could be a flier bus vote or a lucky vote. I don't think there's a good way to determine which. I am no more or less trusting of Mac than before.

Jan wrote:However, I don't remember your playing style. I remembered Wilgy well because we were both scum in that one game we had.

Jan expanded a bit on his experience playing with Wilgy.

Eventually, I want to have a showdown with DrWilgy though.

This Wilgy mention seems rather arbitrary.

nutella wrote:Oh I also want to hear more from Wilgy. I feel like he's usually a lot more active than this, but I keep forgetting he's even in this game and I don't think that's a good sign. Likewise with sig, to a slightly lesser extent.

nutella brought up Wilgy, noting his absence during Day 1 up to that point. Wilgy actually appeared out of nowhere two minutes later, which is somewhat curious. I don't think that necessarily reflects poorly on nutella though, and I like that she was willing to specifically bring him up in a critical way. There was really no need if they're team mates.

Scotty noticed how quickly Wilgy responded to that and pointed it out. It's a decent touch for Scotty, though I do think some baddies might do this to their team mate (since it isn't a scathing accusation and can be easily subverted). I'll still say it's a somewhat positive reflection for Scotty.

Softball question which doesn't really have the potential to lead somewhere meaningful.

Wilgy plays WIFOM, projecting MM as his team mate.

Elohcin wrote:Done with work (for now) and I realized I gotta choose two people pretty quickly. So, another 3 pages to read, but I don't have time. I voted wilgy and bubbles.

I had 4 votes when Elohcin voted for Wilgy to put him within range of getting into the duel. Nice look.

nutella wrote:Surprised JJJ has so many votes.

Similar deal for nutella. Glorfindel also voted Wilgy to secure him as a duelist. Good look for him.

~~~

The player emerging from this looking iffy is the marmot. Wilgy did well to throw a wrench in that with his WIFOM though. I'll also acknowledge that Marmot placed the second vote for Wilgy overall. I don't remember for certain, but I think that put Wilgy among the pile of people with 2 votes while nobody yet had 3.

Things Wilgy himself said in isolation:

Because he skipped the rules section on page one. Lol

The rules say that self-voting is permitted, but it doesn't seem like a very Jay thing to do to give himself a potential reward.

I disagree Golden.

I think what's actually most striking here is this "Why didn't everyone vote for themselves"?

No - I mean, I'd expect it from a Wilgy. It seems odd from a Jay. Particular a Jay in a close contest for the lead.

I've got an idea though - how about others stop speaking for Jay, because I want to hear what he has to say about it.

Speak for Jay? Was that my intention?

This looks to me like Wilgy talking to someone not on his team. Golden was a little uncertain of my prefect self-vote, and Wilgy took the opportunity to engage Golden in a little fake discussion while also buddying me (and perhaps trying to generate a false JJJ-Wilgy link). Golden's annoyance at people speaking for me and Wilgy's response reinforces that perspective for me.

DrWilgy wrote:Im very suspicious of Lorab now that you mention it Marmot friend!

Well this looks incredibly fake. One must determine whether it's distancing-fake or just fake-fake. At the moment I lean toward the latter. LoRab has no posts, there's no basis for suspicion -- not even for distancing. Why even try?

I had a civ read on Jay near the end of day 1, now that this came up.

Problem is that I can't remember what my thought process was at the time, just that I thought he was civ.

Gonna read his posts again lol.

Also I'm highly suspicious of all the Scotty voters. I can't believe this is 2016 and people still suspect him for day 1 posts.

He will always do that. Yes, it is annoying. DWI.

Not to mention both the Scotty and Wilgy wagons seemed to appear in the last 2 hours or something. And that was weird. Thankfully we got Wilgy, but I couldn't help but think something fishy was going on.

So, we have two baddie factions that are supposed to kill each night and neither of them did. Is an entire team filled with inactives?

There are obviously other possibilities, but this game is as lurker-loaded as anticipated so it could be.

Why wasn't anyone killed?

And not me choosing Wilgy for prefect and he turned out to be scum. I'm rather trustful of Scotty now. This has way too few votes to be a scumplay. And the reason why I missed the deadline was because there were so few votes, which got me confused.

And I preferred to stick around to those I know. I've played with Sig, DrWilgy and Glorfindel, whom I found out he's Matty only recently. I know Nerolunar as well, however never played with him.

I'm only sad that I couldn't face DrWilgy in a duel myself.

Nobody died, there are two mafia teams that can kill. I wouldn't be surprised if at least one of them missed their kill.

And in other news, JaggedJimmyJay is bad.

It was almost like a... CFD.

I think the last three Wilgy votes are pretty telling. Would any of those three (nutella, Elohcin, Glorfindel) help throw him into a Day 1 duel at the last minute when he wasn't really under that much heat otherwise as his team mates? I doubt it.

Epignosis posted it, and he knows your role.

Given there was no NK, may we assume that Zhang Jiao is one of the non participating players in this game so far? Someone who perhaps didn't post from the latter part of Day 1 onwards perhaps?
