Ooo Vomps. Looks like Mongoose took you up on that and froze you. What? She must think you are onto something. This game would freeze if we freeze all the posters though, so there you go.

Vompatti
Snow

Haha, I couldn't resist. Still truffle dogging Llama for clues about his Civ role.

Gonna unfreeze Llama & Snow.

Llama
Snow

Aha! I knew it!

I'm assuming we aren't required to contribute anything relevant in the non-name section of the posts?

Lizzy
Bullzeye

Well, this isn't the MP posting contest of Bioshock. However, to anger our fellow players who are yet unaware of this game we could post long diatribes. In OT of course. Maybe something you wrote Vomps , broken up over many posts? I think however something in the post should be on topic.

I think its probably worth our time reexamining votes. Lizzy had 7 voters. Two are dead. Leaving 5 people and I bet at least one or two were non-voting goombas.

I think Lizzy is being framed.

I think taking a look at this vote in particular is important. 3 of 4 baddies were Goombas with no vote. So they had to hide somewhere. A couple of scenarios present themselves for why Snow was lynched instead of Lizzy.

1.The giant king voted Snow
2. Goombas voted for Lizzy
3. Both combined

If vote influence was straight with no mushrooms, fireflowers, etc. We would know better. With so many voters for Lizzy there should be 1 gumba there.

Other possibilities are that MP voted alone to hide his goomba vote, or Bullz and I voted on Nev late to hide. Looking back I am reminded why I initially thought Elohcin might be civ. she voted early when there was no guarantee her vote would be hidden. Of course maybe it was a bandwagon.

Linki - who do you think is framing her Vomps?

Lizzy
Gleam

Is anyone else wondering why Llama's role wasn't revealed to us? Something is afoot. It could just be a condition of the Vote Switch function of Birdo maybe?

Lizzy
Bullz

Lol I dunno who's framing Lizzy. But I do find it interesting that she has gotten hardly any votes after that one particular poll where she got 7 (seven).

Russ
birdwithteeth

I dont give a fuck about posting contests never been a fan and will not be playing along.

I was just wondering why Epig is playing his own game? If it is Elohcin then how can she be logged in as Epignosis when he is at a conference and she is at home?

It seems to be an unfair advantage to her looking at the game in Epignosis name would give her all sorts of inside info.

Good catch, Roxy. I was wondering what was going on there. It may just be set to log Epi in automatically from there home computer.

What? I'm confused.

oh and take my coins if you must Epig but it seems unfair to force us to play a mini game even if we do not want to play.


liny - well that would be a dumb set up seeing as how they have had trouble with this. Its unfair all she would have to do is look and see who is who.

Did I miss something? Why do we think its Elohcin? Also no idea how my post got moved. I assume it was deleted and then put back. Vomps do you mean I posted wrong cause I quoted the poll?

Snow
Lizzy

Owl - why would epig dissect his own poll? It had to have been elohcin.

Your post was in the poll thread as opposed to this one until Epig reposted (moved?) it.

Are you sure about that? Also, the suspects to discuss from non-dead Lizzy voters are roxy, mongoose, LT, russ, and bwt. I would think it less likely to be roxy and mongoose, but if the discussion was really swinging towards Lizzy then they may have felt safe enough to vote for her and start a bandwagon.

Voted Pipe over in the World Map. We have three water voters: Vomps, Lizzy, and Bullz. Any rationale behind voting Water, guys?

Hey all, I have sent off PMs to both Epi and Elo so they are alerted to the mistake. I highly doubt Elo has or would have looked into anything, because she would have realized she was on the wrong accountif she had. Let's leave the topic until they can come back to clear it up. Also, keep in mind to try to keep complaints to PM to either myself or Robert, otherwise it will impede the game in general. If you ever feel like something unfair hs happened you can PM either of us and I assure you our mods and hosts do deal with every situation to the best of our abilities. Now, go on having fun and I am sure Elo and Epi will get it sorted when they are back in the thread.

I agree, I think I trust roxy and mongoose. Not so sure about the rest of them. It seems as if BWT had been posting less than usual.

As for why I voted water, I still think it's better to go there early than late, and it's still earlier than it'll be tomorrow, so that's why I voted water.

We figured it out! It was my post, but when epi moved it, it didnt have my name on it. No worries!

Hasn't vomps voted water everyday? Lizzy seems to like the challenge of it. Bullz I am definitely curious about. Did he say he voted water?

I guess I can post now since my name has been mentioned an even number of times, but like Roxy I don't really like the idea of this mini-game. I couldn't really say why I voted Water, I just did mainly because I haven't voted for the winning option ever this game and didn't want to vote Dark again I suppose.

I don't remember him mentioning he had voted water, but I think some people are just reasonably forgetting to come back here and report what they voted. I only noticed this myself when I went over there to vote for Pipes.

Currently, there aren't any votes for Dark. Depending on whether or not some deadies are able to return, we need to start thinking down the road for where we will go next. We have to weigh the unknowns of Dark v. Place Where King is Dead v. Place Where Water Magnifies Baddies' Abilities.

link Bullz - I could have been persuaded to vote Dark with you! I feel bad for the Water King. Maybe s/he will get his/her power eventually.

Gleam
Snow Dog

You have something against pipe world? Not sure this a great answer, but I understand about being frozen. Good point Mongoose about tough decision ahead. I would lean to going Dark first, then Desert, and maybe finally Water.

I just voted pipe.

Snow
SVS

I think it would be logical to go to water world next because we just went to ice world and water is like ice when it melts.

Lizzy
MP

I dont think that makes as much sense as you think it does in the context of the game. However, you have been decidedly consistent in your focus on water.

Snow

I wonder if some people have been completely silenced or if they're just sleeping because it seems that some people are posting and some other people are not.

Everyone can post! Come post with us. But seriously anymore ideas on Lizzy voters or anything?

What is everyone strategy this game? Since we dont know what the specialmprize is i am trying to decide if its better to give it to someone dead or alive?

Heres the list so far:

Bwt -6
Russ-6
Vomps - 2
Llama -7
Snow -8
Lizzy -11
Bullz - 4
Gleam -5
SVS -3
Roxy - 3
Mp -2
Eloh -4
LT - 1

^ I'm confused. I thought 1 post = 1 coin? I haven't posted frozen, have I?

Personally, I'd rather give the prize to someone who is a dead/confirmed civvie.

I assumed that you get one (1) coin for every post you make, not one (1) coin for every time your name is mentioned? Is this not correct?

Sorry, reread the rules. i thought the special prize went to the player frozen the most. Rather it is the player frozen the longest defined by how many posts until they are mentioned again. That is a bit harder to check so will take me some time to see.

So consider it a friendly update for those who dont want to count the whole page to see if there are frozen or unfrozen.

Gleam
Lizzy

So I guess we should maybe agree on whom to freeze and unfreeze?

Lizzy

So is there someone we want to freeze and keep frozen?

I am going to refreeze Gleam and Snowy for this reason.

Oh, and because we like it cold, the player who stays frozen the longest (i.e., for the most number of posts) wins a special prize!

You get coins for your posts, not how many times your name was dropped.

I'm fine with keeping Gleam and Snowy frozen since they're both good and can't post on topic anyway.

I assume the consensus should be give the prize to a confirmed civvie. So choices are llama, snow, and gleam. I dont know how close llama would be to regenearting, but I would lean either him or snow. We dont know gleams power since we havent gone desert yet, so thT could be another angle.

Holy shit, what a day. I had a really busy morning and totally ran out of time to come in here and vote. Seems it didn't matter anyway as there was some sort of lynch switch shenanigan. I agree that the baddies likely switched it to Llama not to set anyone up but because who he probably was.

So I really skimmed most of those posts and I think I have been mentioned 4 times... which means I think I can post. Right? Not entirely clear on this game, to be honest.

omg thanks it has been thus far k :O

I too think Roxy is a civ given her past 'go' at me, plus she's been ill, so I hope you get better, Roxy . Elo also strikes me as civ, for the simple fact that she was one of the three water voters. I don't see why a baddie would have jumped to vote for that especially after consulting their team mates. However, her defense does seem a tad extreme and fishy.

I'm still leaning towards Bullz and the Sock, SVS not so much as last time, but still on my radar. So between the two my lucky złoty chose MP.

And now for the grand finale: "votes water"

I'm sorry, I might have missed this, but why am I on your radar?

Very suspicious, IMO. I think for this I am throwing a vote in her direction today. It's not enough alone for me to crusade that she is baddie, but it's something I found notable.

MovingPictures07 wrote:Oh, Elo, I also meant to say I thought your Day 3 arguments against LT were a bit strange. Could you clarify those for me? I do agree she has been quiet, but I haven't seen anything to sway me one way or the other on her yet.

What exactly about my quotes about being civ are suspicious? When I wrote that, I was actually thinking of you:). How ironic that YOU are the only one that finds my post suspicious. I think it was twin peaks mafia where I was civ and you were crazy suspicious of me just because I was talkative and I could do NOTHING to prove to you I was not baddie. So, what exactly is suspicious about me talking about the frustration that comes with being civ but being thought baddie?

I have played with Little Tiger before. I have had BTSC with her in a previous game. She doesn't even seem like the same player at all in this game. That makes me suspicious.

Elo, it's not that you emphasized being civvie, it's that you led a lynch on Snow Dog given the reason that he seemed to be trying TOO hard to convince everyone was civvie, and then I ironically observed that you seemed to be doing the exact same thing.

I don't understand why you were thinking of me, was it because of the other game? Also, it was Minecraft, not Twin Peaks, and I'll admit to being a huge bowl of fail that game (and I specifically referenced it at least once earlier when talking to S~V~S -- I do NOT want to make mistakes like those again -- I have railroaded enough fellow civvies as civvies for my mafia career).

It's sometimes not that simple. I frankly can't tell LT one way or the other right now, but I do entertain she could be laying low. That being said, I've played games with her for years, and whether she posts a lot or a little... it doesn't exactly correlate to whether she's good or bad. Just because you've had BTSC with someone in one game and they were civvie and then they seem "different" in another it does not necessarily mean they are bad. It could, but there are many factors at play, including IRL, how many games the player is in, if they are hosting any games, etc. etc.
