Good. I think it's funny.

What are you talking about?

I mean exactly what I said. Civilians will lose.

Game theory.

Chris, do you see the irony?

I do, actually.

But I agree with Snow Dog.

Don't do that. A lynch was switched yesterday.

I'm afraid I don't understand.

In this two recruiter world, do the civvies even have a chance of winning?

Are you a civ?

I know. I was thinking, "Shit, this looks awfully fucking familiar"

It's ok, I kinda agree with Epig. I think we're fucked.

Here's how I know civilians will lose.

They will vote the safest member: Bass. And they will lynch him. Super.

If Bass is not a recruiter, or recruited, or The Master, then the numbers are against you.

Guys, I design games. I live for this shit. You HAVE to play two sides against another. I have never seen this done.

Right now? Civilians are fucked.

16 players out of 31 total remain.

At least 5 known baddies have been killed out of 9 known baddies.

1 secret role out of 3 have been revealed.



I don't think we can consider ourselves fucked in the butthole until AT LEAST after today's lynch.

Linkie: Do you propose we listen to you Epi?

Yeah... Epig, you seem to be implying you're not a civilian... and that you believe Bass is not any of those possibilities.

I don't see how we're fucked.

Metalmarsh89 wrote:Linkie: Do you propose we listen to you Epi?

No. Never listen to me. I'm stupid.

YES LISTEN TO ME.

Did you forget about the 4 recruits, recruited guy?

I imply nothing. I just said civilians are fucked.

According to my spreadsheet, that's true. I'm sorry I don't say things like "We civs" or what have you.

No, I'm not sorry.

Chris wrote:Did you forget about the 4 recruits, recruited guy?

Yes and no. Tbh, you don't know how many recruits there are unless you are one of them. Don't list it as fact please.

Well, that's a convenient thing for a recruited guy to say.

Let's think about it.

Would the recruiter recruit every day? No. That would be silly. It's got to be every other day.

Ok. 1, 3, 5, 7, 9. That's 5.

Ok. 2, 4, 6, 8, 10. That's 5 too!

Minus 1 for a dead Roxy, and you've got 4.

How's that for fact?

But I have never seen a game where there isn't a possibility of failed recruitments. Blocks, some roles unrecruitable, etc.

Precisely.

It's really dumb to count the game as over or even NEAR over with this many players left, and so much unknown, IMO.

With all the role claiming going on, what would happen if you lynched me?

How ironic would it be, with all the bullshit lie detector shit I had to go through?

Also nothing is a fact unless Bea or bwt posted it.

You've already stated that DF could be the Master OR the Cyber Controller, and also that the Master can be one of four people. Why are you so certain that is truer than Bass being a Cyber? I will admit Bass is an easy target, if only because there are still 3 Cybers left. It is very possible that the switch was meant to throw us all off with Bass being a civ, but I don't know.

I have pondered switching my vote to DF today. Especially because MP and Chris, I am (more) willing to trust. But you are still questionable to me.

Jesus... really?

On day 6, we saw a recruited MetalMarsh.

On day 7 we saw a recruited Roxy.

Is it really tough to imagine that recruits are happening every other day?

Anyway, I'm done. I told y'all that I was throwing my all behind the DF lynch.

From here, I vote Snow next if he's alive. After that, I'll vote the popular vote until the end of the game.

Oh yes, every player can be recruited, and it has a 100% success rate, and the recruiter is still alive...

Just sayin'

Its weird, I feel like both Epi & Chris are trying to scare us into voting for who they want us to vote for.

I definitely don't appreciate the scare tactics happening up in here.

There are 16 living players at the moment. Really, folks?

LOL, how is "civilians are fucked" not scaring anyone?

We don't even know if the recruiter is still alive, we don't know if the recruiter has been blocked, we don't even know how often the recruiter recruits, and there are so many unanswered questions... those are just about the possible recruiter role.

Do I need to get Milton Friedman back in here to talk ironically about unrealistic assumptions?

Find the evol among you! BR and LC command it!!

I'm just glad that Epi still enjoys mafia, even if he knows he's screwed, or even if it's all BS.

Lol, MP. Just because you know you'll be around 'til the endgame doesn't mean we all will.

First, look at your Hall of Fame. How many civilians win? None. They won't win here either.

And you don't know. I know things.

does this mean you would like more time to talk? Or should I just get on with it?
I'm ready to go if you are.

Dom wrote: Night.... kills?

I don't think LC or BR were recruited. No evidence. No facts. Just gut feels.

I suppose Daisy could have been, it was night 5.

Splints was killed on night 3, so perhaps. That would be mad early and lucky for a recruit to be NKed.

What other NK could have been? Zeek? He's alive.

In my mind, most, if not all recruits are alive. Except Roxy.

Like Epig, I'm not trying to scare anyone. I don't know what his plans are, but I just think that we're going through the motions after this point.

That's all. Read into that what you'd like.

I wish I was epi.

Have two more for me. I like that farmhouse read - good call sir!

The Recruiter might have only gained the ability to recruit mid-game. And there are bound to be roles that cannot be recruited.

Bea: post plz

Fuck it, I'm keeping my vote where it is. I'm ready.

Alex, make sure you get all your studying done so you can sit for the speed game tomorrow. I know I'll have to.
