I will say thta I think the civvies got extremely lucky at the end, since timmer's power effectively made him unlynchable. Good thing Flyin' High had a trick up her sleeve!

Only every second day due to no repeat targeting rules. But you're right, my role, once the threat of NKs was no longer a concern, was pretty powered-up!

Kate wrote:Omg!

Thank heavens fh! Since I got killed BY TIMMER I've been screaming at my computer to lynch him!

Way to go I would have been mega pissed if he won. It was bad enough dying on night 18... Ugh!

I loved how you used the "wave to the game after death to remind people that you were killed" strategy, lol. It's like "recruits? honestly, guys? Who killed me? Just... just look at who killed me... it was Timmer. He's right fucking there. Just.... lynch him!"

I felt your pain.

And on that note, I'm taking a few months off from mafia to work on a screenplay. I'll seeya in awhile!

First off, before anything else, Epig... this was epic. You have a gift, my friend. Truly. Not only is your storytelling amazing, but it also proved to be insanely balanced! Baddie teams of 6? A million prizes given out? For a first-timer, you juggled an amazingly complex game with aplomb.

Oh, and thank you for giving me one of my favourite roles ever! Disruptive indies 4 lyfe, yo!

I can't believe how close I came. Ugh! I executed my gameplan as well as I possibly could (except for fucking up near the end which I'll get to in a sec). I figured early on that the best thing for me would be to make everyone realize that I was an indie. That would back the bad guys off from NK-ing me, which I had no protection against. And I figured if I would establish the idea that I was un-lynchable, that would keep the civs off my back as well. Plus, I deliberately played pro-civ at first, too well in fact, dipping the all important cosmic balance too far in the civ's direction.

The lynch thing. Honestly, had you ever even one time tried to lynch me two days in a row, I was toast. I had to scramble each night to gauge whether the next day would be a day you tried to lynch me or not, because I had to time my night actions to protect myself. Also, I had to scatter my kills near the end to make it confusing, otherwise I figured I was dead. The end was a nightmare to plan, lol. And I knew FH had won some prizes, so I had to think... are they prizes to protect against NKs? Or prizes that prevent lynching? Whichever she had, if I picked wrong, I would lose. If I picked right, I would win. And I picked wrong, dammit.

As for my fuckup. I misinterpreted one of Epig's last posts. Everytime I was up for lynch but shared my votes with someone else, his post made it sound like they were sick, or hurt, or posioned, or something! But when i read his post about thellama, my brain told me that he had somehow survived lynching, which was stupid on my part, because the lynching hadn't been attempted yet, my special lynch move made the lynch happen at the end of night. So my misinterpretation of llama's situation caused me to miscount who was left, I opted not to kill or anything that night because of it, and we landed here. FUCK!!!

Anyway, guys, always remember. An indie Timmer is a baddie indie Timmer, lol.

this was a blast, great game civs and Roxy sorry for killing you but I could smell your baddieness a mile away lol

sounds good to me.

fwiw I don't pay attention to anything dead people say. I'm still thinking bf but I hate that we have no consensus.

bf went from quite active to not active at all. I trust fh. I'm ambivalent about Elohcin. franklyim hapoy to folliw fh's kead.

thellama73 wrote:Well, my vote is for BF next, since he is refusing to vote.

Timmer, I'm sorry, I can't tell you my role, but I am just that awesome.

lol no worries it was a rhetorical question. my only thought is tgat someones allegiance chanfed to the dark side but they somehow didn't inherit the kill?

llama what role are you that you are dodging night kils and lynches over and over???

you almost seem like zodac except... you're not Zodac. so... hmm.

FH, you are about the only person I trust in the game, due to game events and the like. Is there anyone you can flat out vouch for?

I can't directly answer that without breaking some rules, but I'll just say this: there is someone, not me, who needs to die for this game to end. They are playing very coy and going with the flow. I've thought on several occasions that I knew who it was, and did my part to end the game for us, but it hasn't worked.

Our only hope is that we get a lucky ricochet today, I think. Basically, I know I can't be the reason the game isn't over, because I know how my role works.

Sorry gang it cannot be me.Whoever we are trying to find seems content to just let us kill each other. Alas kynching is not the answer when ut comes to me and I'm sorry for whatever comes of this latest attemot.

Argh, I have no idea what is going on in this game anymore.

I got unexpectedly called to work so voted now. my choice shiuld be no surprise.

that shiuld read " the idea to lynch Ishar came pretty quick."

Nevinera seems pretty bright I wouldn't be shocked if he skipped a kill to put pressure elsewhere. The idea to lynch came pretty quick... my vote will oikeky to go Nevi. Epig wouldn't fill a civ role and leave a lone baddie role unfilled.

thellama73 wrote:I rather expected that we wouldn't be able to lynch timmer, the first time anyway. We must be able to get him somehow, though.

That's the thing. I don't think you can, which makes me all the more sure that there is a recruit.

I voted for Nevinera. It's the only logical option, from my pov. But I understand why you guys are doing this, and it's cool.

timmer wrote:So is there still a baddie who took a shot at thellama? Or was this triggered by the choice of story?

Come on, timmer, come clean. It was you,wasn't it?

"the red in the sky surged forward in a mighty bolt, striking him with an otherworldly fierceness."

Sounds like you to me. Stop trying to kill me, I don't like it!

It wasn't me at all!

About the only hunch I have is our new player. He (she?) sounded pretty on the ball for someone who had to catch up on over 100 pages of game. I wouldn't be shocked if he (she?) had had btsc with DP before he died.

So is there still a baddie who took a shot at thellama? Or was this triggered by the choice of story?

But if he didn't lie and his info was true, then we do have to lynch an indy? Which I think means Timmer?
This is very bothersome.

Timmer, can you comment on this?

It's possible. Not knowing win conditions makes things very confusing, I have no idea what the answer is.

I didn't lie, that's the information I got.

My only guess is that there was a recruitment at some point after that? Perhaps Shadow Weaver's secret was a recruitment? I don't know, I'm at a loss.

Whew. The way DP was acting so cocky, I was beginning to worry that shadow Weaver's secret was that she was a seemer, and that DP was actually Modulak. Glad to see that that little hunch was wrong. BIH DP!

i know, shocking, right?

Voted DP.

thellama73 wrote:I kind of think the Zodac(timmer) kill was Zodac acting as a proxy for a force of nature. The leviathan killed Kate, but since Zodac is basically God, he gets the credit for what nature does.

I like this thought process.

There is no way DP is Heman or Shera. His posts yesterday were those of a baddie waiting to pull a trick, nit someone with a major civ role.

Voted DP. His threats sound too half-hearted to be serious, imo.

timmer wrote:It sounds right to me. DP, or one of the absent guys.

I'm thinking that, despite game mechanics, this game is going to end when all of the active baddies are gone. Don't you think?

God, I hope so.

It sounds right to me. DP, or one of the absent guys.

r l l r for me.

rih rey, quiet rey=bad rey.

I'm going to be at work all of tomorrow and then I've got to race to make it to a fantasy baseball draft on time, so I'm voting rey now. And incidentally, rey is the one running that draft lol, so listen bud I might be 15 minutes late, just let the auto draft start for me if I'm not there!

thellama73 wrote:I'd like to hear from timmer about a few things. I have consistently defended him as being Zodac rather than a baddie, but now that we are down to the end, what does that really mean? Is he on our side, or theirs? I notice he has missed a lot of lynch votes, which is odd, like he is trying to avoid creating a paper trail.

I guess my question for you, timmer, is why should we trust you at this late stage in the game?

Well okay, I've got to reply to this within standard mafia rules, etc. so let's just say this.

The main point to your question is that I do not believe the civ team needs the indies to die to win the game. It is my understanding that the civs need the baddies dead to win, period. Thus, if I were Zodac, I would not be a threat at all. Saying this, I make no claim about any role or anything role-related, I'm just stating things as I understand them. I hope that makes sense?

And I'm all for a rey lynch today. I trust FH due to game actions and her posts in the game. I don't trust rey. Quiet rey is bad rey.

thellama73 wrote:I agree with you, FH. Of the remaining active posters, reywaS and Aces both strike me as the most likely SM players. And I know that SM has to have at least one active player. I remember people saying SM only has one left, but I see no reason to believe it.

linki: only 4 out of twelve living players bothered to vote. Troubling.

the info about sm came from that night that we all got info it shiuld be true.

Flyin' High wrote:Woah, I thought the poll ended tonight and literally got my vote in a minute before the poll ended!

I got here one minute too late. tried to vote fir Dom.

So who do you guys think are our baddies? Could it be Dom?

blindfaeth wrote:Woohoo! Great post epig and thank you for hosting

So who do we think are the last couple baddies? You know, besides timmer :o

I'm not bad, and you are making me really regret some things I've done in this game.

I'd guess that there cannot be more than 2 baddies left. Who do you guys think they could be? The absent players, like Ishar or untamed?

blindfaeth wrote:I'm thinking about voting timmer, in my eyes stormcrow is the equivalent of an outed baddie but I haven't forgotten that hes likely an Indy and we aren't sure of his affiliation.

And this after I gave you my vote for whatever that thing was last night.



I'm voting Stormcrow as well.

votes Stormcrow

I think I trust Kate and BF the most.

Stormcrow wrote:Votes MP.

Well, the long awaited stormcrow.

anything else to add?

Well I won't be around much today, and I may as well vote now. I apparently didn't make my case very clear yesterday but really, I think Kate is bad. Posts like this just feel like distancing, to me. I think she's been tricksy and under the radar.

votes Kate

Happy Easter everyone!

And any chance of that vote being a mistake went out the window when the vote post was followed one minute later with mp's FEB face.

Wow! And did Stormcrow pretty much out himself as MP's teammate, there?

WTF? Why did no one vote? I think you've all let yourselves be walked into a trap...

I believe Kate is bad, and I am voting her today. It seems pretty clear.

And for the record, I do not believe LT is hexed.

votes Kate

I'm still worried that MP gets power from people saying his name and replying to his posts. The last time he dodged death was on a very post-heavy and reply-heavy day. Let's not talk to him directly, shall we?
