A reason that ColinOnSpeed is mafia: their relative lack of suspicion against Golden lately in the game.

Today is LYLO, and despite having made 15 posts thus far, including several lengthy ones, they've been geared towards answering questions from Golden, and... that's it.

GMac and Colinspeed have an equal number of posts voicing any potential suspicion of Dry Flood.

Frat did spend the first two days trying to lynch GM.

I am sorry for the absence I had a brutally stacked day and it seems Spacedaisy has been occupied and now it's 9pm and I'm ready for bed and I will miss EOD so this is probably it for us unless Daisy comes back.

Every part of me wants to vote for Dry Flood. My tinfoil is raging. The last minute attempt to CFD us at MYLO was the scummiest play in the game. Comes out proclaiming Fratyo as obvtown who then dies. Somehow has been the dominant voice in the game and yet survives every kill to the final three.

But the pinginess of the Colin/Speedchuck Hydra is overwhelming. All about self defense, no attack on Golden, just a whole fuckload of wifom defense and trying to skate by without even excercising a lick of tinfoil?

I'm voting Colin/Speedchuck. Daisy may disagree but that's where I'm left. Sorry I couldn't contribute more to whichever of you are town and sorry if I'm wrong Colin and Speedchuck.

If Dry Flood is bad, that means they have needlessly extended the game to three consecutive LYLOs, first bussing their teammate entirely and then not seizing on the chance to mislynch us when our back is fused to the wall. I’m willing to accept at this point that Dry Flood is not scum, and if they are, I’m voting Golden in every single game from here on out until he’s dead.

Posted: **Thu Jul 19, 2018 10:22 am**

Aye, if Dry Flood was scum the game would have been over by now. Either that or they are really sadistic, extending the game for a week for their own pleasure.

In response to stuff, I know Luna pretty well. I didn't see the early stuff as towntells or scumtells for her. But around the time of that lynch, I started seeing them, and I hopped the vote to whatever Colin was thinking. The Nutella ninja-slip helped too. (Sorry I didn't trust your ninja slip, I'm paranoid after courage)

I never had a strong scumread on Lunatella in the first place, just general wariness. Colin turned that into a vote.

I'm switching our vote back to Galactic Mac. Voting me is a dumb move at this stage.

It isn't self-defense, they were just responding to my questions, which weren't necessarily accusations.

If you have any more questions, ank them early. I'll probably be in a tourist trap around deadline, mesmerized by fudge and lights and needless expenses.

Posted: **Thu Jul 19, 2018 2:33 pm**

I’m happy with where we are at. I’ll leave the vote where marmot put it back. Busy or not, town daisy would have made some effort to turn up at lylo I believe.

Posted: **Thu Jul 19, 2018 2:35 pm**

I still have a healthy dose of feeling like it could be colinisspeed, but if it is their victory is earned in the circumstances.

Posted: **Thu Jul 19, 2018 3:20 pm**

Hey gang. I will likely be pulled away at the deadline. I have arranged for juliets to copy the poll at when the countdown clock strikes 00:00. I will be back to reveal the result as soon as possible.

Posted: **Thu Jul 19, 2018 6:49 pm**

I find Daisy's general non-engagement at lylo to be quite persuasive. I feel as though town Daisy, as busy as she is, would have done something, anything, that would help her convince me she was town, even if it was just a brief check in. I think she'd try.

These posts do nothing to move my needle at all.

'Every part of Mac' makes him want to vote me... quite possibly true, while not being town-minded at all. It doesn't say he thinks I'm bad. He says my move was the scummiest thing in the game, and yet it only is doing the exact same thing that's happening a phase later anyway. If bad, there was no real risk to me patiently waiting and doing it anyway. It's one of those things that is easy to say is a 'scummy play', because of it's appearance.

"Proclaims Fratyo as obvtown who then dies". True, but not scummy. Just a nice device with which to frame me.

"Somehow has been the dominant voice in the game yet survives every vote till the final three". Just complete tripe. So, it turns out 99% of the marmot posts on day 1 were actually me roleplaying as marmot, but still I was not dominant on day one or day two. In each case I did try and do a save late... that should be evidence I wasn't controlling anything though. Also, I was defending Galactic Mac all that time. Why would GM kill me? When I started being the dominant player on day three and successfully lynched Cuphead... I came out strong against Colin. Why would GM kill me? This particular statement is utterly disingenuous as it pretends GM didn't have reasons to keep me alive.

And of course, despite all of that... there's a vote for Colin. Because the whole thing is a hope that Colin might tinfoil me, but a recognition that the likely path to survival is to convince me to vote colin. It lacks the indight of someone hunting, and instead demonstrates the mindset of someone who is happy for either of the other two to go, provided it isn't him.

As for that last post.... no suggestion at all that the outcome is wrong. Could be interpreted as a self-clap on the back

Of course it would be dumb to lose at this point.

If Colin and Speed are bad, they've done a great number on me. I've had good success reading colin so far and I've caught deepscum speed before too. This game feels different. If it's because they've played together in a sock and it's modified each of their individual approaches, then just well played across the board. I can live with losing to them. There are things there I don't like... I don't feel secure at all... but in the end I feel like it is more tinfoil than reality with them. There's a lot of signs that they are town, even if there's no silver bullet that makes me sure of it.

Anyway, well played everyone. It's fun to make it to three person LYLO and be the swing vote... that hasn't happened in ages. Sorry if I'm wrong, but then if I am, I think without me we still lost at final six anyway. I've done the best I can!

And thank you dunya for your one day effort. It contributed a lot to my final analysis.

Posted: **Thu Jul 19, 2018 7:53 pm**

No no no, this is bad. God I'm sorry civs. I've been so wrapped up in driving between Cincinnati and Lima and seeing my family that I've really just lost track of this and clearly I've lost us the game.

Golden, I can't believe you voted me!

First off, I would enver kill MP, I would pocket him.

Secondly, I wouldhave killed YOU if I were bad. You know me and the way I think pretty well. If I were bad, you would've been a threat!

It was stupid for me to have even signed up. I figured we would have time during our vacation to participate in the evenings. We had none. Gatherings, weddings, a drunken hot tub rendezvous. No time whatsoever.

Posted: **Thu Jul 19, 2018 9:08 pm**

I never would have voted for Cuphead and Mugman. I still don’t totally understand all the reasons they got lynched.

This reminds me of when I lynched you in AG and you didn’t understand it.

Posted: **Thu Jul 19, 2018 9:12 pm**

YES!!!! Well done, town!! :yay:

Tough luck for Galactic Mac and C/M, especially since I know we all (except Mac) were super busy with the wedding and such. Then [mention]Tsaiah[/mention] was super sick too.

Timing was rough for sure.

We need a hydra rematch for sure!

No, I understood it in AG, I just didn’t agree with the rationale. I didn’t really follow the mechanic-solving part of the game, that was all Speed. I’m pretty bad at this.

Hey go and eat cake, I was busy as fuck during this too.

Posted: **Thu Jul 19, 2018 9:31 pm**

Yesterday alone I spent 8 hours in meetings and then had a freaking event at night and I'm going on vacay tomorrow too which means I've been trying to prepare at work. Hard times.

Fun game but. I don't think I'm ever playing another sock game, simply having to log out or log in or use incog completely stuffs my desire to post.

I didn't mean to imply anyone else wasn't busy; I just had direct knowledge that a few of us were particularly so during key stages.

Summer is a tough time for mafia I think.

Our votes were getting votes in to have votes period. We didn't care about accountability.

We also weren't caring about strategy.

First kill?

I picked the first name on the list.

Second kill?

I picked MP so he could have a good time with us.

No strategy whatsoever.

I agree with the 'logging into sock' thing. It is always harder for me to get truly engaged in a sock game. I'm just glad I didn't have too much else going on. I stayed mostly logged into the sock on my phone.

I would have been able to post if it wasn't hydra. I made zero phone posts in this game which is where most of my content comes from usually. It's cold as fuck here btw.

Mercy kill.

Posted: **Thu Jul 19, 2018 9:38 pm**

Congrats to Speed for managing to be much better than me at this one with about half as much (or even less) free time. Thanks for hosting Jay, this was a great spin on the usual set-up.

Posted: **Thu Jul 19, 2018 9:39 pm**

I knew the MP kill had to be epi. It was a hang up for me at first because I felt certain Daisy wouldn't do it. But I also thought it didn't make a lot of sense coming from colin/speed. When I thought about the specific circumstances, I thought Epi would do it - and that also meant Epi was probably choosing that kill when colin/speed likely would have if they were in the team.
