Right Death?

Looking back at this, I am curious- is there some kind of clue in this that you are conveying to us?

Roxy wrote:I forgot I wanted to add - at least Epi is playing - Made is not. I tbh I find Epi entertaining. I ignore his "knowledge" of Bullz game bc I do not believe it.

To be clear I will vote for Made or Epi

What are your thoughts now that Made showed up for a little?

If you feel Made is more of a problem, then vote for Made. So long as your vote does not contribute to a lynch of me or MM, we don't have to be a voting bloc. I am not trying to tell you or MM what to do; I am just trying to protect you from what *I* perceive as dangers to you.

I agree with this. I'll (probably) be waiting to place my vote anyway.

How are you leaning now that Made showed up again? I'm starting to feel like it'd be wiser to vote for someone who feels like a potential threat rather than someone who just showed poor manners. Made's survival is a bigger eyebrow raiser than Epi's running mouth.

Help me gain some clarity, Epi. What do you think you are onto with your spidey sense suggesting to you that Bullz has BTSC? Do you perceive him as more dangerous than Survivor Man (Made)?

I am not asking you to withhold your insight or change what you are saying to the thread, just how you say it. I am asking you to believe that you CAN win if you play in a way that doesn't piss others off. This is me cashing in my favor.

If Epi does not give me what I ask (as he has promised a favor to me), I say, lynch him Day 3. If he does comply, let him live a little while longer and let him see how far he can go while playing nice with his friends.

What do you say folks?

I might be willing to take you up on an Epi reprieve but the odds are currently stacked against him. Do you perceive Nisani as more of a potential threat than Made?

fingersplints wrote:I'm also pretty useless at decoding. We should make Gman do it after all the decoding in the Secret Mafia's
Maybe once we decode some we can figure out how Made survived.

Hey! Don't me in charge buddy! :P Just because I ran two games where all the roles were in secret tildes doesn't mean I like decoding. I would have hated to play Secret Mafia because decoding is such a laborious process.

Nisani wrote:Lastly-- has anyone been paying attention to Bass_the_Clever lately? He has not been giving Enrique the praise he deserves...

BTC, why do you not acknowledge that Enrique is the greatest Mafia host ever?

Is there a reason you're calling out Bass for not praising the host? Seeing as nobody else is, you must have a reason for singling him out.

I'd also like to see if there's any credence to Epi's suspicion of Bullz. But mostly, I need everyone dead but me, so there's that.

So you're distrust toward Nisani is content related and your distrust of Made is his survival of the lynch. Which one weighs heavier for you as the lynch draws nearer?

Made wrote:Come on guys, really? It's not my fault that the time i'm most active is when everyone else isn't. Makes it hard to inflate my post number with one line back-and-forths when no one else is around :/

I can relate a little. The most time I have to participate is when I'm at work. Seems like less than half of the active players are around at that time. Then I have to make big crazy posts like this one to catch up on things.

Metalmarsh89 wrote:I am more interested in the fact that you were not lynched than your post count Made.

Here have another post.

This goes for me as well on Day 2. A lack of participation is one thing but that coupled with a mysterious lynch survival makes you doubly interesting come vote time. I can look past a low post count so long as the posts are relevant and useful. Early on, this was not the case. You may be moving past low-post suspicion but that lynch survival is now a shadow over you.

Metalmarsh89 wrote:Didn't you say you survived because of your alliance with Epignosis though?

I was joking, a lot of people were trying to tie me and Epig together for some reason, so i rolled with because I found it funny.

I totally understood that Made was joking here.

Sweet! Thanks for the head's up. VOTES NUTELLA

S~V~S wrote:I went back and looked at the roles in the first two games after there was some discussion on whether or not there was an unlynchable role, and found this in the first LMS:

Immortal -Cannot be killed. The ability will be lost after it has been switched two times or after the switcheroo dies.

So apparently Enri would (and has) included a somewhat unkillable role in the past. This specific wording does not seem to match any of the tildes on a short glance, so but someone better at decoding than I may want to take a closer look. Since Made says his survival is not role related (if it was , he would know how he survived, yes?) maybe that can be cleared if Enri was to give us an N or an L as Made has ramped up his participation for sure, and sounds sincere.

@Enrique~

Team (2) - Has BTSC. Can win together. If one of the teammates is killed, the killer will take their place.

This refers to NKs only, right? Not lynches?

This definitely does not help Made's case but what could we do if he has immortal qualities? And can we really believe that he doesn't know how he survived. If I survived because of secret tilde stuff you better believe I'd lie and play dumb about surviving.

I still has doubts on who to vote as Im weighting the options if Made survival was from his role or maybe day zero poll? which is a big threat if is something to with his role, and I also have considered Epig, as there is tension in the air and I doubt thats gonna go away, and at least I think is uncomfortable to be reading about it

Im vottinf for Epig, as in the end I need all of you dead, so potatoe and potato, on who goes first

S~V~S wrote: I just read your posts to see your thoughts, and see you were originally wary of Nisani. Since two of his partners died, has that lessened or increased your suspicion?

Slightly increased, I guess. I'm more concerned about his generally odd in-thread behavior, particularly his insistence that there are "town interests." I'm wary of him because I can't figure out what his motives might be.

That being said, I'm going with Epig this round. The way he's been acting, I can't see him as anything but a threat. (Voting now)

I see Made as more of a threat bc of his survival.
Made - even when your busy you post. Since when do you need someone around to post?
All that said I do miss your "presence" in the game!

*votes Made*

Welcome to the Whores GMan!

Elo - we are not a voting bloc - we are just not going after each other until we have to. Plus we will look out for each at night if applicable.

I'm going to vote Made as well. I agree with Roxy, I didn't like that survival. I think he is a secret role. I think the secrets roles are powerful.

Ah well. Nutella's vote for Epi seals the deal, unless Epi has some tricks up his sleeve. I too will vote for Made, just in case Epi is the time bomb. Secret survivals are most curious indeed. We'll see how this one turns out.

Good cal on the Time Bomb thing Gman

Black Rock wrote:Good cal on the Time Bomb thing Gman

Unless Epi can switch the lynch result and Made is actually the time bomb. Seeing as Made didn't go kaboom yesterday, though, I'm not too worried.

Yeah, I don't think he is.

I don't know, but here's one more.

Epi...

Got a few questions for the host I suppose:

1) Was Ghost Switcheroo active Night 1? It strikes me that they wouldn't be able to do anything because you can't swap powers between just a single person.

2) If the time bomb votes for him/herself and is the last vote, does the next to last person to vote for the time bomb blow up or has the time bomb done something noble?


For everyone else:

Did anyone hear from The Messenger last night? They could have contacted Long Con or Dana I suppose. I would have thought someone would speak up if they had been contacted. Or maybe they were blocked. I'll shut up now.

I was not contacted by the messenger, G-man
but I doubt people will be willling to admit it, I guess it depends of whatever message they got, and it is beneficial to their survival

I did hear from the Messenger. I felt good about the message hence I did say anything.

Thanks for sharing, Roxy. I was just curious. Unless The Messenger has secret info, it's not like their messages are going to be terribly influential.

It seems it is down to myself and ninja blooper to vote. I'll keep the suspense going.

Metalmarsh89 wrote:It seems it is down to myself and ninja blooper to vote. I'll keep the suspense going.

LOL WHat suspense? looks like Epi's it barring any switching or secret powers.

A marmot can dream.

I voted boo, because it seemed to be a safe option last time.

Yo Enri

Does Kenny come back in 1 1/2 game days or actual. days?

Ah, Made returned! Sorry, Made - I too understand only being able to be active when others aren't. I suppose I'm just used to your being more active, but RL seems to be busier for you lately, huh?

Made's survival is concerning, but I'm more concerned about Nisani's weirdness. Even if it won't really do anything (but hell, what do I know - Made looked like a sure thing Day 1 and nothing happened), I'll vote Nisani. Maybe some behind the scenes mess will see to it that I still get my favor? But probably not. Alas.

P.S. - Sorry for being so close to the deadline, y'all - I got out of work later today and desperately needed a nap. Just woke up 15 minutes ago.

Hello G-Man. I bet that "G" stands for "Gentle," and I bet I'd win that bet!

God bless Bullzeye. He's a great guy. He's someone worth watching, and he, like a number of people, is someone I have had the joy and honor of playing with and hosting many times. He's always great to have around. All that experience gives one an insight that one otherwise wouldn't have, and I like using that insight, even in a game I won't win because there are too many remarkable people here. I just don't stand a chance, but that's okay!

People are awesome at assuming I'm up to no good and just saying things to say them in order to accomplish some naughtiness. Sometimes that's true, I know, and golly, I guess it's my little cross to bear! And I guess, gosh darn it, that if I'm right, people missed out on removing a role before the switcheroo got to it first! Whoops!

I think Bullzeye did an amazing job turning things against an innocuous role the way that he did. Kudos to him.

For the record Epi, I don't care about your role. I have no idea what it is just as you have no idea what mine is. I wanted you lynched for coming after me the way you did.

You do condescending well.

We're all fucked.

Day 2

G-Man has earned a favor from me.

Im beggining to think Epig is not going to die :P

Day 2



Epignosis has been pardoned.
It is now Night. You have 24 hours to send me your PMs.

looks like I was right then :P

made and epig sitting in a tree kissing???

damn secrets!!!! :P

unfurl wrote:made and epig sitting in a tree kissing???

You have a secret too!

@Made: Glad to hear you're interested in joining the Squadron. Even though we took a significant blow to our numbers, we are still glad to have you. To join, I need you to post the bold text that Dana and LC posted. This formality is very much necessary.

To others insinuating that I am being "weird": if I am being weird, I will wear that badge with honor. I sometimes feel as though I am the only one with all of our interests at heart. My motives are the general well-being of everyone in this town. If you disagree with this goal, feel free to vote me-- there is nothing I can do to help you.

linki-- sigh...

Well that's disappointing.

Addendum-- Enrique, thank you for hosting this incredible game of Mafia. I would not be having this much fun if someone else were hosting this game.

Dear Mr. Death,

Since you may be in want of a target for Night 2, old sport, I have a proposition for you.

If you kill Bullzeye Night 2, I will vote for Made Day 3.

If you kill S~V~S Night 2, I will vote for Nisani Day 3.

Sincerely,

Epignosis

PS~

Me too!

Linki: I only have twenty-seven (27) secrets.

Can any player even be lynched?

Secret as in a general life thing, yes, I has plenty, life will be boring if everything and everyone was an open book

another survival

Im guessing the letter are for the roles with secrets
I picked P, cause maybe it will be easy to decode if there is a role that "pardon" lynch
as the post said the word "pardon", but people that decode maybe will go with another one that is better?

Oh you want SVS dead now too? Is she my BTSC partner? God, I wish. That'd be cool. Shame I'm all on my own and have been all game. Death, if you kill Epi first then I'll consider us even if you want to kill me next.

Also I think Unfurl makes a perfectly good point and is probably correct about the potential of the letter P. So that's where I'll be placing my vote as well.

No ma'am.

I picked R because it is a more common letter, especially in frequently used words. Same with N. R also shows up in every single Secret Role's name.

P does not fall into these categories, so I would recommend not picking it.

I probably should had waited for other people opinions before vottting, but this pardon thing makes me so curious, and then i just realized pardon has an R in it, so I guess that will work too

Epig so knew he was gonna survive
I guess I was right thinking, he has a big bag with powers to hand all those favour he has promised :P
