So Mp, where is it where you've given someone a warning vote in this game? Can you show me where? That vote on TH appears to me to be the first time you've gone so "rogue" to put someone on blast.


You know what else I noticed MP? The lynches you did lead, they all netted baddies. You were dead on.

Now, this kind of fuck up? Do you think you're really that unlucky that you just happened to be involved in this unfortunate circumstance?

VERY coincidental then...

You don't seem to be considering the possibility that whoever switched the lynch wanted MP to look bad.

You should check out these things called conspiracy theories. You'd like conspiracy theories. Did you know that when man landed on the moon back in 1969, the footage they took on the moon showed no stars in the sky? How freaky is that, right? It's obviously damning evidence that the whole thing was faked in a studio, I don't know why people can't see that.

linki: Or they switched it to TH because TH was much more of an active civilian (and thus, threatening) than Hedgeowl? FFS Chris, why do you always jump to the most downright ignorant conclusions?

So my conclusion that the recruiter wouldn't want to lynch Hedgie because they want to recruit her is a "downright ignorant conclusion"?

That's a pretty strong statement keys.

Why is it that every single theory I put out, you refute? Quite aggressively I might add?



LINKI @ MM: But why even put a vote on him like that? Jesus, if it's a warning vote, 30 minutes before the poll ends, for a guy who hadn't been in the thread for 7 hours, how is he going to see it when the poll goes away at the end of every lynch.

"Oh yeah, by the way TH, MP voted for you"

It just doesn't add up.

Why has nobody considered that this switch could have been a prize? I never heard back from the hosts about the poetry contest.

I made a submission, but I didn't win. I was under the impression somebody won though.

Quote this to use if I'm wrong, and I ever try to play mafia again.

Are you going to say the same thing about me? I could use a new sig :P

I am not the recruiter, though. Just like I am not recruited.

Actually, that's the EXACT reason I'll bet MP put a vote on him. If TH hasn't been on much, and popped in to see the lynch tally, he'll see 2 votes on himself. That will make him realize "Oh shit, I probably have to address something". Otherwise, TH might not notice that we've been talking about him if he had just skimmed through.

I did the same thing to zeek on Day 2 I think.

Linki: well we could always try lynching him for proof. He'll come back anyway right? I knuow you'll love this idea...

zeek wrote:Chris - I think MP switched because MM said about his night action, not that the powers were redirected.

Snowy - We can't be sure MM wasn't recruited by the Master. Do you think the Great Intelligence is a poss secret role? Weeping Angel is still a possibility too I suppose.

For the record, I don't need pm's form anyone for me to decide that maybe players are being agressive and need to cool off. Even when two players are engaged in some name calling that THEY BOTH ARE OK WITH, (and yes I've seen that happen) it still tends to create a hostile environment for other players not involved in the situation. I, as a player, feel uncomfortable posting in places that feel hostile and I work VERY hard to create a welcoming environment full of fun for ALL my players. (There's a reason I never played on sites like MafiaScum.)

Basically my point is, I ask people to tone it down as a host, if it would have made me feel uncomfortable if I were playing, NOT because someone made me do it.

Now - I have to finish getting ready for work. I wanted to make sure that was CLEARLY understood though before I left the thread again.

I missed this. I don't want to get into any ridiculous drama. Leave me out of it, ok?

Heh, yeah, that was awkward to read, given that I knew he was mistakenly remembering zeek being involved in a situation which he wasn't. I prefer a drama-free environment as well, too many people have said someone is being an idiot or whatever for thinking something, only to find out, wow, it was a baddie deception, not their real thoughts. Then it's like, "Oh... sorry then... "

Might this shift in voting habits be due to being recruited? I don't know. What I do know is that (1) Elo doesn't appear to be any more active in thread to suggest that she actually has any reason to make these informed votes, and (2) every single vote since the Made vote, she has voted with Blooper, with the exception of one vote. In that vote, Blooper voted for Elo's favorite enemy, Dana. I feel like the recruiter might be recruiting these silent players and using them as pawns or something, I imagine it would be a good way to fly under the radar. I think it's generally being assumed that Elo is good because she survived the early Strax attack, but if my theory is right she was recruited just before the Made vote, and would not have been a baddie at the time of Strax's NK attempt.

I notice that Blooper was posting a few hours ago, but failed to reply to the concerns I mentioned earlier about her. If there really is a connection between Blooper and Elo, there might be one with Epig too (maybe as recruiter?). Although I realize this would definitely need a closer look.

Let me know if I'm insane, it's past 3 in the morning and I need some sleep. For that reason, I also won't be posting the planet summaries up right away, but I'll try to get them done before the poll closes tomorrow. I will mention, though, that Vulcan has made an appearance before. My summary of it can be found here. It had strong Dalek connotations, but now that the Daleks are dead I don't know what that means for us. Personally, I would still avoid it.

You should also be aware that Strax tried to kill Elo, but failed. Hence, she is either a civ or a baddie with protection.

Tigus - Under Galatic Heritage in the novels, i.e. protection, the Doctor was stranded here once for all of five minutes before he worked out an escape.

Uranus - Mining of Uranus helped power the Time Destructor created by the Daleks. Some not so nice species like the Ice Warriors went to a moon there to observe a reaction on the surface of the planet.

Woman Wept - Visited by the Doc and Rose once (unseen), the whole planet was also taken by Davros and the Daleks during the Stolen Earth storyline, when they tried to use the Reality Bomb.

Vulcan - Human colony almost taken over by the Daleks. Doctor saved the planet and the Dalek survivors went into the Dalek Asylum.


Tigus sounds safest.

For some time there was speculation that the Monk was actually an earlier incarnation of the Master or the War Chief,

In an alternative timeline, the Monk cooperated alongside the Master, the Rani and Drax to try to destroy the world using a DNA recombinator, turning the human race into a gestalt consciousness which could be used as a weapon to conquer the universe.

According to REF: The Doctor's Lives and Times, the race for Enlightenment began in orbit of Woman Wept.

Enlightenment was a prize offered to a group of Eternals by the White Guardian and Black Guardian in a race. [...] It was claimed to bring anyone's heart's desire to life and Wrack wanted to win so she would never be bored again.

it was revealed that Enlightenment was in fact the ability to choose between good and evil, concepts of which the Eternals had no knowledge. Turlough threw the diamond at the Black Guardian and upon contact with Enlightenment he was consumed by flames from the blinding light of the prize.
