Here you'll find info about artists, rumors, camping tips, and the infamous Roo Clues. Have a look around then create an account and join in the fun. See you at Bonnaroo!!
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.
I am a little concerned that LLL or Bonzai are going to try to pull a fast one right before noon tomorrow. EAP can I submit a contingent vote? Like if LLL changes to WVL or Bonzai to LLL right before close that my vote will automatically go to the other to force the run-off? Would that be possible?
no. sorry. put your vote in how you'd like before noon.
So I apologize. I got sucked into the modeselektor and then the Snoop & Dre sets tonight, and am in no condition to post. I will be on in the am and make sure I post with at least 2 hours to go prior to the deadline. For now, I need to go but my mind back in my head after getting it blown.
why not? it's the closest thing that I get to a day off, ever. I'm pretty sure that in my 20 years of working, I've probably put in more hours officially at work than most people put in in their whole lives. I'm not even counting the paperwork at home I do. Ugh.
Stop running up your post count!!! You are clearly hiding something!

Ok, so just finished catching up on the last 3 days and rereading the entire thread a few times. There has been a lot of crap thrown at me the last few days that is untrue, and I plan on breaking it down and citing both this game and past game. That post is going to take hours, so for now, I am locking in my vote on LLL. First and foremost, I believe her to be mafia. Second, I am dead right away if I move my vote.
I have not had the time to focus on Bonzai or LD specifically related to their past games, but I can see an argument either way there. I still think we have a couple of mafia members in the LLL, SFA, Bacon circle with another one in the quiet player deck, but LD and Bonzai WERE in the quiet area until that was highlighted.
I do not want to die prior to posting my long post breaking the last few days, but I cannot guarantee Ill get it done in the next 2 and a half hours. After that is up, you can all do what you want with me. If I am right, and I make it out of the runoff, I am going to get whacked anyways. I will be checking in as I work on my breakdown.
Update: I am through page 6 on my breakdown, and I think I may be off target on SFA and Bacon. Looking back on it with fresh eyes as I write out my posts, it looks like LLL may have sucked them in, and that my posts probably drove them to her side (especially with SFA). However, I now am almost certain LLL is mafia, as you will see from my long post shortly.
Update 2: In the course of doing my research on the other post, I ran across this. This lie slipped by everyone, but if there is any doubt at this point after that as to who the liar is, This should settle it:
Also, everytime I have been a Townie, townies have won, so I had nothing to do with the Townies losing at all.
This is a flat out lie and LLL knows it. The benefit of doing research is that I know it too. Just a quick look back through Mafia 34, and LLL only won once (or twice) (35 and 46 if you count her as being inspector) as a townie, but lost twice (37 & 38). If you read nothing else in this post, read this, since it shows how she lies with 0 backup while tearing down my posts which are made of actual research
This is why I NEVER lie or modify facts to suit my needs. They come back to bite you in the @ss.
I am going to preface this post with an apology. After reading through the thread a few times, there is a lot that I would like to point out. Certain people have accused me of starting the muck throwing, and then accused me of being a liar. I am going to quote the posts that prove I am not. I am also going to quote the posts relevant to why I thought we had several mafia members in the LLL, Bacon, SFA triangle. (EDIT: prior to finishing, after a more in depth read, I think we have the right one of that triangle in the runoff with me right now. I think some of my posts may have drawn SFA and Bacon to think I am mafia. This was editted prior to posting it so I did not look shady)
Again, I am apologizing for the length in advance. A lot of it is quoted from earlier, but I think the quotes are relevant to prove both my veracity and to highlight some of the lies from LLL.
OK, so I had this post halfway typed out last night before inforoo backed itself up and I lost it. Catching up this morning and again right now have made even more comfortable putting it up.
I think LLL is on to something here. Why would Mike D vote for himself? I skimmed back to game 31, and he has never done it before that I could find (although admittedly, it was a very quick skim through my reference set). This could play out 4 ways: 1 - an EAP style hissy fit when she is trying to avoid dying while mafia. 2 - a Mr. Belgian Manders style play where he didn't want to play anymore. 3 - Mike D is trying a new tactic a la Bacon to control the game and pick who goes in the runoff. 4 - He is being a smart@ss.
I really don't like it because it can break so many ways, but I think it is #4 with a dash of 3 thrown in there. That brings us to the kind of these shenanigans, Bacon, the one who put him in there in the first place.
His style is frustrating because it relies on pure luck. In the aborted game, he said this:
I am so gone. One disadvantage of kicking ass and taking names is it normally results in early departure in the following game.
I promise you I am as much a towny this game as last game.
The problem is, looking back at least to game 34 (the last he was mafia), his method NEVER worked except for last game with EAP. Every time he pulled his bullcrap, he guessed wrong. Even in most of the runoffs, he guessed wrong on the mafia. EAP last round was a very lucky guess and even then, he debated moving to CSTNZ, (who was also mafia, but less obviously so at that point) EAP only got killed on a last minute vote change by Sarah, or I would have been dead as a townie.
Also, If you go back and read through Mafia 34, Bacon subtlety tossed in KDogg and let KDogg go at Wolf, since Wolf voted for him as well.
I am very comfortable with my vote right now. It is too early to have definitive opinions, but I want Bacon to stay in the runoff. Ideally, I would like CMP in there too, for the same reasons Bonnie said. First Mike D needs to get back in here and change his vote, or the mafia are going to get an easy first kill. We definitely need a runoff to dig a bit deeper in this.
Also, as a note, I will be gone starting tomorrow morning until Sunday afternoon. I will be heading down to St. Louis to watch some playoff hockey! As in my first game, I will continue to post on my cell phone, but will probably not have access to my computer. Just a heads up in advance.
This was my first post, which apparently displeased LLL. I am putting it up here because I STILL have zero idea why she found it suspicious. I elaborated on my vote for Bacon the night before and LLL switched to me? At the time, I thought it may have been in defense of Mike D, but looking back now with 12 pages here, it looks like she may have been defending Bacon. EAP and CSTNZ pulled something similar to this last game, where I was getting warmer on CSTNZ, and then they did the rub off to EAP and got me going on her. Once they felt they had diffused me, they both turned their attack to me. That may have been what happened here.
1. I explain what I think Mike D is doing twice but thanks for calling me a smarta@@
2. If you can find some day 1 strategy that isn't completely based off luck please tell me. I've been playing this game for a while (a lot longer than you btw) and I've yet to find any sure way to find mafia day 1.
3. I realize that I am the easiest person to vote for at this point. I think there is a very good chance that mafia stacks on me this round and its run-off. It's a very easy way to kill off a towny who knows what he is doing without much being read into it.
4. I am keeping my vote on Mike D at least until he comes and changes his vote and explains what he is thinking/doing.
5. Duddits is there any reason you voted for me? Is there someone you would consider changing your vote to, to put them in the run-off instead of me? DO you have any questions for me? I realize that your vote is likely just for lack of a voting partner but i think the mafia are going to try to take advantage of that to try to kill me.
Bacon's response to my post. He never reciprocated, and let LLL attack me and vote for me first.
I think the runoff should be between Viking, Bacon and another player other than Mike D. I don't like 3 person run-offs personally, but something is weird here. Almost every other player except me seems to have a hard on for 3 person run-offs,yet no one is even suggesting it. Seems the people controlling the game right now find this current situation advantageous, which means something is wrong.
Here LLL starts to accuse others of controlling the game, even as she says this is who she wants others to vote for. Also, she claims that no one else wants runoffs even though a few posts before, I asked for a runoff. She is also inserting Mike D back into it here, possibly to deemphasize the connection between her and Bacon and put distance between them.

I really do not want to move off Bacon, but I have to defend myself. I am comfortable being in the run-off, even though I really do not want to be. I don't have anything to hide and have proved it over and over. It is also interesting that the person with the most posts in the thread is accusing me of controlling the game when all I have done is post some factual data on Bacon and Mike D. The nice thing about facts is that this info is all there for you to go and check, which I have said in past games. This is the same crap EAP pulled last game with the "ignore the facts, there is something fishy about him" thing that almost killed me in round 1.
Also LLL, if you look in my post, I said I definitely wanted a runoff and I want Mike D to get on here and have a stance. I WAS comfortable with my vote for Bacon, and still feel he is suspicious, but the only one I see trying to control the game with absolutely no back up at this point is you. You have had several posts defending Mike D. That combined with the name game fun-time (which I admit I was a part of) that you started earlier in the game, You have led the charge on every shift so far. Therefore:
WLViking >> roonectar >> SFA >> Bacon >> LLL
I still am very suspicious about Bacon, but looking back, LLL has just as much to answer for.
I reposted my original response, since it has been twisted the last few days, and I think the content is still relevant.
Viking I have a lot of posts that contain a bunch of poop unrelated to the game itself. That is why my post count is so high. My only game related moves weren't controlling anything, or saying anything really, until I tossed you in.
Her next post claiming not to control anything. Then she started running up the post count again. Why would you intentionally try to mess with the limited number of in thread facts we have? Yes, I know LLL posts a lot in all of her games and half the posts are not relevant, but here you are actually messing with data that I draw from. Also, remember this post for later when SFA comes back and says that only mafia mess with post counts, even though he knew full well that I have used them and log in times every game I have played.
Viking, you get too cocky in the first round. Only Inspector and Mafia know who Mafia are. First round, until the run-offs have come and gone and you look back at them in other rounds tell you little. Everyone is just trying to stay in the game. To vote yourself off first round as some kind of strategy doesn't even make sense, and certainly couldn't be considered a "Fact". Mike D has one hour to get his ass out of it, and he still hasn't said anything. He's sick of the game already, most likely due to the poop from what was supposed to be the real game. I was sick of this game before it started because of it. I really didn't want to play. That is why I am also comfy being in the run-off and being voted off. I suspect the same is true for Mike D. I could be wrong.
FACT>
THIS is the first insult post. You attacked me and called me cocky. I address my ego later on. I do not hide from it, but over the weekend, I was accused of starting the personal attacks on here, when in fact, she was the one to start it. SFA's post about owing them an apology from the weekend is way off base in light of the fact that LLL threw first mud. It would never have gotten as ugly if she did not go their first. Also, this is the start of both of them taking pot shots at how I play.
All of those to my 1 post. And then you just went and ran up the post count again just now. As I said in my previous posts, Log in times are not a sole indicator of guilt, but they do tell a story. Same thing applies to post counts. I get that you were just having fun earlier, and so was I (as I already admitted) but you can see why it would make someone like me, who pulls out every detail I can find the least bit suspicious? Going back and rereading your games now. Be on with a longer post in a bit. For now, you are the most suspicious person here in my opinion.
And this is my reply. Notice the lack of any personal attack.
I'm saying, viking stating that my post count, most of which were me bitching about having to change my name back, mean nothing in terms of my role in the game. Posts counts that actually do and say things about the game itself are what you guys should be looking at.
So you can look at post counts, just not yours? 3 posts later, she says just don't look at post counts or log in times.
Oh please for love of God don't start poop like this again. If you didn't want to play you shouldn't have signed up. Suck it up and don't ruin the game for the rest of us please
quack off, I'm not saying I dont want to play, I'm saying that I can see where Mike D is coming from. SFA didn't want to play either after the shenanigans. We had a game we had been waiting for for a year, and you guys quacked it up. I'm more than willing to play, I'm trying to point out the other side of the coin of why Mike D is probably doing this. But because I'm not Mafia or Inspector, me getting voting off doesn't bother me now. Get a grip bacon.
I did not notice it at the time, but LLL was the first to bring up the inspector. This faux anger at Bacon could be to throw us all off and later allow the faux inspector play. I am even more comfortable for posting what I did about it later in the game.
I mean that I remember a time when not every single game of Mafia was infested with people getting actually mad at each other. That's why I stopped playing for a while and I hopped maybe it had died down. Obviously it hasn't
Oh I'm not mad at you, I'm playing a game. When I play football across the street, I plow into people. Just because I'm aaggressive doesn't mean I'm mad. I just play this way. Just like you play your way, which turns some people off. But it is the way you play the game. If you choose to take the way I play personally that is your problem, not mine. And if anyone chooses to take the way you play personally that is their problem, not yours.
However, I do disagree with constant personal badgering and name calling. Because that is 8 year old school yard BS.
LLL starts the name calling and then gets on her High Horse and calls it BS.
Also, I have no reason to believe that SFA is mafia, and in fact, it was proven he was not mafia last game, but LLL is doing the same thing as CSTNZ last game. Lets ask SFA. And he ended up being mafia. Just another point to make me feel good about my vote.
I am sick of how much credence people give SFA and Bacon in this game. They are just players who have opinions just like yours. Yes they have experience, but every time someone is about to die, it is "lets ask SFA" or Bacon taking credit for killing people. All 7 townies and the inspector have an equal say, and you should all use it to see through LLL's smoke screen here. At least SFA is relatively humble about it and does not ask us to thank him at the end of the game too much.
If we had listened to him prior to the restart, you all would have died because he was mafia. I am not saying I think he is, nor do I have any thing saying he is not this game. This is just another tactic that has been used by mafia before.
I have no idea why LLL is protecting Mike D so much, but I am looking forward to her answer.
If it were you in the runoff, leading the way, I would have done the same for you. It's mighty shady when one person gets tossed off. Remember the last game we played together, how you guys were ready to get rid of....I can't remember who now. I pushed for at least a run-off. In fact, one of the players you wanted to initially vote off was Mike D, who I was positive was Mafia, then you changed your minds and charged at someone else. I encouraged a runoff then. The reason is because THAT IS HOW YOU START TO PICK UP VOTING PATTERNS. By having run-offs. I wasn't defending him, I just think that it is suspicious when someone starts saying that moves like voting for yourself, in the first round, when Mafia isn't in a moment of desperation....Well I think it is odd to even try to spin that as suspicious. Mike D doing that move as Mafia doesn't even make sense really. It doesn't mean that he won't prove to be Mafia in the end, but it certainly wasn't a strategy. And if it was, it was the dumbest thing I've ever seen, because it was bound to make someone finger him as being suspicious. Why would Mafia do that so early in the game? Dumb. Plain Dumb. And Mike D isn't dumb.
However, when people start pointing it out and using it to start trying to turn other players on that person, then that is usually Mafia in the works.
I am encouraging a runoff so that I can see how you guys are voting. I'd especially like you and Bacon in it. I'm not saying you're Mafia, because to suggest that would be ignorant and arrogant at the same time, a really bad combo to have in life.
I don't mind being the third one in the run-off. At least other Townies will be able to use the evidence, and go back and see the spinning and win in the end. If Townies win, I win. I don't care if I am the last one standing or not. A win is a win.
You viking, are like a spider spinning. So is Bacon. Spinning and spinning. I don't know why yet, but you are.
The person you are referring to was Phi in Day 3 of Game 46. And if you remember right, I was the only person to take the step back you asked for causing the runoff in the first place, even though Phi looked EXTREMELY guilty at that point. I went back to phi in the runoff, since I am stubborn like that, but you would have been whacked that night if I had not stepped back. And we would have still one, just not in day 3.
Also, here you accuse me of spider spinning, when all I have done is pull out facts about you LLL. Its what I always do, but you are accusing me of spinning webs. Thats why this post is so long. You and SFA have accused me of lying from this point on. So to prove that I am not, I am quoting so people can see I am not spinning any webs. Just shinning a light where you obviously do not want it shown at this point.
As I said before you went nuts with driving up the post count, I strive to only provide facts and the facts in this case speak very clearly for themselves. I strive to always be an honest person, even in this game when it seems everyone is lying. By the way, the mafia tried to pull this poop on my last game too and the facts proved me right there too. See roonectar and his making things up about me.
I also thought Mike D's vote was bizarre, but since it came right around when you started your craziness, I thought it was just him goofing around. That's why I started to get suspicious and thought Bacon should be in the runoff. I researched and showed that he would do something like that in the past. I am still suspicious of Bacon, but maybe he is on to something, since you seem so fixed to vote him and I off.
I really want to see what Mike D has to say, because it seems like LLL just got caught in her own web here. I may be wrong as I have been in the past, but this just smells bad, especially when she tried to make up things I never said.
I am still suspicious of Bacon, but right now, I am waiting to hear what Mike D has to say about LLL working to keep him out of the runoff.
I obviously do not want to be in a runoff, but I am comfortable defending myself if I have to in it.
This is my originally response to post count drive. It is still relevant, and also, as I state here, roonectar make things up about me last game, just like others have done much more subtly this game.
Viking, you also like to boast about your facts, yet you've managed to be wrong about players so many times in the past games, but then go back and credit yourself with having "facts".
So, if I'm working with Mike D as Mafia, and I want to put me in the runoff instead of him....that makes perfect sense. Don't you think I would want BOTH of us out of the run-off, and not suggest that I go into the run-off? You guys tried to say the same thing last game I played. And you guys were wrong then too.
You are clearly being manipulative.
This is her second post in a row about how she dislikes my use of facts. I NEVER said I was always right in a single post. I said that I was getting more accurate, but the point is to turn over rocks so that my other townies can see whats under them and have the benefit of a distanced perspective. Yet, she now says I think I am always right. This is what I mean about her spinning things. She does the same thing to Bonzai later. Also, she accuses me of manipulating when all I did was quote her.
I've read vikings post like 5 times. Makes me LOL. He sounds like he is running for President.
"I strive to only provide facts and the facts in this case speak very clearly for themselves. I strive to always be an honest person, even in this game when it seems everyone is lying."
I like playing with you and Bacon together. Makes for a fun game.
EDIT (Because I have pretty bad flight of ideas most of the time, so I do tend to post a lot of small posts, I'll try better to not flood out the thread with so many little posts.)
This is really too much thought and discussion to be going into the first round. Can we get some votes here my friends?
Another personal attack on me. The only thing I have said personal about her was a one liner earlier in the thread, and she has now piled on several full posts at this point belittling me. This leads to my pissed off response later that evening.
Dont make me start bitching again about why I was pissed about the situation of this game Mike D, and then on top of it people had sticks up their donkeys when we were trying to make light of it. No one really wants to hear it again, really. Sorry if I really thought that being Mafia with SFA was going to be awesome and I was actually looking forward to it and was disappointed when it didn't come to fruition. Maybe it is my ovaries talking, also sorry you don't have those so that maybe you could understand. I think I've proven myself to be overdramatic regardless of the situation, some of it is me just acting, and playing a part, some is real. That is the type of person I am in real life. That is why most people like to hang out with me. I'm usually full on Manic. For real.
Sorry everyone had to hear the rehash again, but I'm now forced to defend against it, again.
And now you say sometimes you are acting and sometimes not. Granted that a lot of people act in this game, but you also call yourself manic here, so I don't understand why you felt what I said was so bad. Also, your response here was so over the top, that Mike D had to come back and basically reassure you line by line that he did not mean to offend you.
Viking, you provide facts the same way Fox news provides facts. They like to call it facts too.
While I may conservative, I hate Fox news. I am a cnn person myself and I really dislike anyone who leans too far either way, since I believe most solutions are found in the center. I am also a facts person if I have not made it clear. I read news instead of watching it on TV because I hate spin.
The only time I had factual data wrong was in Mafia 46. SFA called me on it. I went back and found my charting wrong, and have since corrected it. I issued a public apology in the thread and owned up to it. If you are referring to my assumptions being wrong, I fully have admitted that I am and probably will continue to be wrong from time to time going forward. I am not omniscient and I don't know everything, but I am pretty damn good at teasing apart puzzles. That's why I love this game and I love playing as a townie.
With regards to trading Mike D for you, this looked very suspicious at the time, and still looks suspicious. To top it off, I think you thought I would keep my vote on Bacon and not defend myself. Also, I think you thought SFA would switch off you if you were going to be in a runoff since you were looking forward to being mafia together. Again, this is a theory, not a fact. And no one tried this last game we played. EAP was going to die and came out as fake inspector and identified you and Mike D. If you remember correctly, I was one of the people who saw through that crap and defended you as inspector then.
With regards to my being manipulative, you are the one labeling me. It is the same as roonectar saying I am placing bounties on people last game. I am sick and tired of defending the way I play. All I try to do is string together facts to help us townies kill mafia every round. In the first game I played, if you remember, I talked about why I think we let the mafia off easy in day one. I quoted it last game and I will do it again if I have to. However, If we can get a mafia member in Day 1, the odds are heavily in our favor to win. If manipulating = digging really deep day one to find out as much as I possibly can to make an educated guess instead of one of the random ones everyone seems to love, then fine, I manipulate, but it is only to find out who is mafia and who is not.
I've read vikings post like 5 times. Makes me LOL. He sounds like he is running for President.

This is really too much thought and discussion to be going into the first round. Can we get some votes here my friends?
This really pissed me off. I am really trying not to take personal shots, and regret the few that slipped through when I was mad earlier. I apologized to SFA last game for the personal shots then and I am sorry I made them against you earlier. Also, I could never be President due to the no no word. And please don't associate the way I play with Bacon's guess and hide method. His method does not work. Mine does.
Finally, Mike D actually reminded me of a watch out here. If LLL is mafia, we really need to be on guard for her to come out as inspector. Granted back in Mafia 46, she said she hated the fake inspector, (this is where my chart was wrong with SFA) but she was trying to establish her credentials as inspector then so I don't necessarily trust her. I am willing to bet anyone a beer at roo that if she is backed into a corner in the runoff, that is her last step.
I do not trust Mike D yet since he just came back, and I would like to hear from a lot of other townies before we make a decision, but I believe we may have identified one of the mafia here. Keep in mind she is screwing with the post count, post editing (and this goes back several pages while we have been in the thick of it) and set up an early smokescreen. I feel very comfortable in my vote and want to lock it in.
Reposting my post from that evening, since it caused SFA and LLL to both get pretty pissed. It is also the post where I gave the watch out on LLL being fake inspector, which is still a valid watch out, more so now than ever.
I always edit posts. every game. Always. I don't follow that fake rule. Sorry. And I always post small posts, and lots of them. I was being a smart ass and I posted 3 or 4 to disprove your claim that post counts are a way to pull out Mafia. A quiet player is always Mafia, and a loud player trying to spin is always Mafia. However, it is more about what they say. The fact is most of my posts up to that point had nothing to do with the game, and to try to use my post count at that point as evidence is asinine.
Do you think I am Inspector and that I may have your name, and you are trying to discredit me now? Interesting that you even brought up that theory at this point. Seems you are safeguarding for that possibility since I am voting for you.

Why does that piss you off so much? It's funny to claim honesty in a game where being dishonest is half of the battle, at least for Mafia. So when you are Mafia, you are going to tell us straight out that you are, since you are so honest? See why that statement is so funny.
I'm not pissed that you called me nuts or crazy. I've been called it before. I am, I have 2 certifiable psych diagnosis. No biggie. I call my patients crazy all the time. If you are going to be crazy, Manic Depression is about the best crazy you can get. It's fun. Some of our most talented and intelligent humans are. No biggie.
And I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but your style of playing doesn't always work. You were wrong in the last game we played together, and if people would have listened to you, we may very well have lost the game. It's a part of playing Mafia. Sometimes we are wrong, sometimes we are right. You can't call it facts. I get hunches about peole, that's for sure. And a lot of times I'm right, and I'm also frequently wrong. Especially in the first 2 rounds or so. To claim in the first round that you have facts, or have any clue what is going on is pretty bold, because really only Mafia and Inspector have any clue to who is who in the game.
You may be Mafia, I don't know for sure, but you sure are stuck on incriminating me for sticking up for Mike D. Which looks kinda spooky. Anytime someone comes so hard line against another player in the first round, it looks pretty suspect. I'm voting for you because I think that it would be good to have you in the run-off too. I think it would be telling.
So this is her response to what I wrote. Again, she is attacking data and calling my opinions facts, in order to discount the evidence.
Also, I called on SFA because he is one of the best Mafia players out there. That is a fact. If you stop trying to bolster yourself up to be gods gift to Mafia, you may someday be one of the best too. But the last few games have proven that you like to stomp around and create dust and then you grab some in your hand and throw it in other people's eyes.
SFA being good and experienced is a fact. However, asking for him to support you when you don't know if he is a townie, mafia, or inspector is very suspicious. Also, I never said I was god's gift. I go into that in some depth in my follow up post as outlined below. At this point, I become emotionally vested and I regret that now, but I never got personal in it and I never claimed to be god's gift. Mean while, she continues the personal attacks on me and continues to denigrate me.
I always edit posts. every game. Always. I don't follow that fake rule. Sorry. And I always post small posts, and lots of them. I was being a smart ass and I posted 3 or 4 to disprove your claim that post counts are a way to pull out Mafia. A quiet player is always Mafia, and a loud player trying to spin is always Mafia. However, it is more about what they say. The fact is most of my posts up to that point had nothing to do with the game, and to try to use my post count at that point as evidence is asinine.
You may always edit posts, (you do, I checked), but you have never been this far in front on post count. Again, by themselves, minor ticks that bother me, but taken together, it is two ticks. And I have had much more to say about your content than the number of your posts. I agree with the loud / quiet theory, which is why I want a runoff. I would like to see where the votes stack up behind you. I continue to want to have a runoff.
I also got harassed by EAP and CSTNZ last game for running a full on statistical analysis on how Phi chose names. I have already stated I will look at every piece of raw data I can get my hands on. Yes, it can lead to incorrect assumptions, but to say that looking at data is asinine is the same thing they told me last game. You are saying that looking at HARD FACTS and drawing a conclusion is wrong and that instead, we should just listen to your assumptions? That's why the townies lost so many games in a row.
I have been pretty clear that I think you are mafia. Both of the last 2 games I played, I have warned everyone to watch out for a fake inspector. After reading Mike D's post, it seemed like the next logical move for you, so yes, I am safeguarding myself. I did it in game 46 as well. Maybe if someone had said something about EAP in that same game, you would not have had the trouble you had then either. I find it interesting that you find this interesting.
I am pissed because everyone takes shots at how I play and I am getting really sick of it! If and when I get to be mafia, I plan on being the best mafiosa I can without all the lying and deceit. I know that that sounds weird to you, since you feel this game is all about lying, but real mafiosas have a code of honor. Until that time, I am going to do the best I possibly can to help the townies keep winning.
Also, I called on SFA because he is one of the best Mafia players out there. That is a fact. If you stop trying to bolster yourself up to be gods gift to Mafia, you may someday be one of the best too. But the last few games have proven that you like to stomp around and create dust and then you grab some in your hand and throw it in other people's eyes.
I have never said I am god's gift to mafia, and I have repeatedly said I am wrong in my early assumptions. Please stop twisting what I say and putting words in my mouth. The way I play makes people uncomfortable. I DO kick up a lot of dirt. I do stomp around and kick over rocks. Ultimately though, I don't have the power to vote for all the other players. They make decisions for themselves. The nice thing about the way I play though, is that by turning over rocks and kicking up dirt, even if I am wrong, I can count on the rest of the townies looking at things from a distanced perspective and sorting out the additional information that results from it. It only feels like I come at you hard because instead of dodging voting patterns and opinions, you actually have to work against data, which is typically a lot harder.
I learned a lot in my first 2 games and if townies had listened, we would have gone 1,2,3 again. I am not god's gift to this game, but I take it very very seriously, and get pretty pissed when people say poop about how I play. I think 5 for 7 on voting is pretty good in 2 games. As is being on 2 townie winning teams (and soon to be 3) in a row. And I never ever throw dirt in peoples eyes. If anything, I do research and turn over rocks to open them. My question for you is why you are so dead set on me?
You have come at me hard for no reason, belittled me and the way play. Insulted both the way I write and my intelligence and no one has stopped to ask why. Maybe people are ok with that type of abuse to me because I don't have ovaries, but all you have done is insult me and offer up lies about me twisting facts and bending the truth.
My response. The last portion is especially relevant.
Also, everytime I have been a Townie, townies have won, so I had nothing to do with the Townies losing at all.
This is a flat out lie and LLL knows it. The benefit of doing research is that I know it too. Just a quick look back through Mafia 34, and LLL only won once (or twice) (35 and 46 if you count her as being inspector) as a townie, but lost twice (37 & 38). If you read nothing else in this post, read this, since it shows how she lies with 0 backup while tearing down my posts which are made of actual research
And note that, although I will point out your playing because it is related to the game, and it is WHAT EVERYONE INCLUDING YOURSELF DOES. I will never call you crazy or nuts or anything like that. that was BEYOND inappropirate and rude and far more than this came calls for. If anyone should be pissed it is me. And I am not. Because I am playing a game in the way that I have learned in my games flushes out Mafia.
And I think it is working.
This is after 2 other posts calling me mafia. Also, you already had called me nuts but then say you won't. Again, if this had been me saying this, everyone would be up in arms.
Oh please for love of God don't start poop like this again. If you didn't want to play you shouldn't have signed up. Suck it up and don't ruin the game for the rest of us please
I find it very interesting the way LLL is getting dogged about this. She was clearly referring to her state of mind when the game started. Why is that so hard for you guys to figure out? She never said she was given up on THIS game. She was referring to the disappointment of the original one being stopped and her lack of motivation at the beginning of this one.
She, also, mostly used it to explain her thought process on Mike D's self-vote. You guys are the ones misunderstanding what she was saying and it's pretty freaking fishy that three players have now brought it up that misrepresented her original point.
Even Mike D, who she was defending, brought it up. You don't find anything strange about that Bacon? Or the fact that Viking feels the need to try to discredit you and I? Especially when he is saying things about going off of "facts" when their really aren't any at this point and most of the things he brought up in his last response to me were actually things mafia members in the last two games were were saying. I'm not saying he is guilty but I am saying that it's really suspicious and odd.
This and several other SFA responses that evening make me regret linking him to LLL. I think I was wrong about him and I think going so hard on my theory against LLL caused him to have to defend himself and toss me in the runoff later. Not saying that his last minute toss was not suspicious, or that he is innocent, just in rereading things, he looks a lot less likely to be linked.
Viking, are you prepared to eat crow when you are once again wrong? I sure do hope so. I'm going to write out your words and have them ready for you to eat at brunch.
I have thus far defended Mike D, and advised you that it was, in part, your dogging of Bacon's playing style that made me bring up YOUR own playing style, so I guess I defended Bacon too. SFA defended me. Holy shite! 4 Mafia? SFA defends me here because he knows me well enough to read when I am Mafia. Those of us who have played together a few times have picked up the nuances of one anothers playing styles. Plus SFA has seen me naked, and would probably like to continue to do so, so when you made PERSONAL attacks on me ie telling me I have a persecution complex, which, if you would like, since I am actually in the business of diagnosising people's characterlogical and psychiatric traits, I could do yours as well and be 100 correct...yet I digress. At any rate, this probably made him a little trigger happy. Thank you SFA, I appreciate it, but it's a game, and hopefully Viking is just playing a game here and not truly attacking me as a person. If I am wrong, well I will throw a beer on him if I ever meet him.
Viking, I didn't switch to you because you are going to be gone. TBH I've already forgotten all about that. I switched because of something you said about Bacon
OK, so I had this post halfway typed out last night before inforoo backed itself up and I lost it. Catching up this morning and again right now have made even more comfortable putting it up.
I think LLL is on to something here. Why would Mike D vote for himself? I skimmed back to game 31, and he has never done it before that I could find (although admittedly, it was a very quick skim through my reference set). This could play out 4 ways: 1 - an EAP style hissy fit when she is trying to avoid dying while mafia. 2 - a Mr. Belgian Manders style play where he didn't want to play anymore. 3 - Mike D is trying a new tactic a la Bacon to control the game and pick who goes in the runoff. 4 - He is being a smart@ss.
I really don't like it because it can break so many ways, but I think it is #4 with a dash of 3 thrown in there. That brings us to the kind of these shenanigans, Bacon, the one who put him in there in the first place.
His style is frustrating because it relies on pure luck. In the aborted game, he said this:
The problem is, looking back at least to game 34 (the last he was mafia), his method NEVER worked except for last game with EAP. Every time he pulled his bullcrap, he guessed wrong. Even in most of the runoffs, he guessed wrong on the mafia. EAP last round was a very lucky guess and even then, he debated moving to CSTNZ, (who was also mafia, but less obviously so at that point) EAP only got killed on a last minute vote change by Sarah, or I would have been dead as a townie.
Also, If you go back and read through Mafia 34, Bacon subtlety tossed in KDogg and let KDogg go at Wolf, since Wolf voted for him as well.
I didn't like it. I don't like how you say stuff like this about people. You started the whole attack on peoples playing style, yet you sure to did get your panties in an uproar when people say something about yours. I hate it. This is what got you your vote. Bacon's comment about kicking donkeys and taking names is Bacon being a smart ass. You know that. To have started this stuff so early in the first round makes it look like you are trying to set Bacon up. I refuse to believe the other option, since I have spoken to you personally in chat.
And no I do not have dyslexia. I have flight of ideas. My mind is moves at warped speed at all times. And my point A's never go directly to point B, they always end up hitting E, F, Q, and M first. I am a rambler. I also have a touch of OCD. That is why I edit. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to follow me at all. And instead of 176 tiny posts in a game, you would end up with 300 in a game while I try to reexplain myself. I end up with sentences with words that didn't belong because in my head I started a different sentence that morphed into another. Sometimes it changes the context of the sentence.
I didn't attack you as a person. I find it very interesting that it took you 6 pages to come back to my single personal comment. Also, I didn't bang on Bacon's style for no reason. I banged on it, since it has proven that it does not work. Mine has not been proven not to work yet. Frankly, going forward I do not thing we should need a DSM guide for everyone in this game. I apologize for what I said, but you attacked first.
also this is the first post (6 pages later) where she addressed why she changed for me in the first place, and has 6 pages of her working up that I am attacking her personally. If you put this right after her original vote, it makes no sense, but her, it is able to sail through after all the ground work she laid.
Viking, I'm curious, what are your facts on me related to this game, and how are your facts different than my facts and SFA's facts? I don't see any facts at all. NONE. I see speculation. And I use graphs and charts as well, but in the first round, there are no facts to go off of to make any reference points. You haven't pointed out any facts out about me. If you have some, please come forward with them so that I may address them
The difference is that I pull from your actual quotes (and quote you correctly and in full instead of partial quotes and just making things up. I also draw from things that admittedly dont always work including edits, log intimes, and post count. Plus I have charted back to mafia 34, even though I didnt play in most of those games, to prepare for my first game, and to make me a better player.
I also draw the distinction between what is a fact, and what is a theory. You jumble the two and then lie on top of it as outlined above. And then you accused me of attacking you personally, when you have been attacking me all game.
SFA could be Mafia for all I know. The only other time he let me stay in a runoff was when he was Mafia. I do find it fishy that he let me stay in so long this time. Voting partners don't usually let their voting partners go down like that because the purpose of a voting partner is not to try to get that person voted off. I may be too blinded by his chivalry to see it yet, but it is in the back of my mind. I've been right every single time I've taken a stance on SFA's role in this game. Including when I thought he was Mafia. He was Inspector once, I didn't pick up that he was Inspector by his posts but I could tell that he was a Townie. I could also tell when I played with NBF when she was Mafia. There are subtle things you pick up about people when you play with them a few times. You do it in real life too. You can tell when something it different about the way they are playing.
SFA is not out from under the radar yet, because he left me to go to a runoff until recently, but he does appear townish by his posts thus far.
Since I am running low on character count for this post already, I passed over a few talking about chivalry, and just included this one. At this point, you have found Me, Bacon, SFA, and Bonzai all fishy. This is how townies get sucked in. By accusing everyone else, you take the spotlight off you and put it on other people. On the other hand, I have just gotten more and more suspicious of you and for good reasons as outlined above.
Well luckily for you SFA, Gandold is driving his ass down to St. Louis in 15 minutes here unless you conveniently forgot that fact too. Let me hit the high (or in this case low points) of LLL and SFA's questions:
I'm not sure why that would be lucky for me or convenient? It's not like you haven't continued to post? Are you implying the plan was to gang up on you while your were busy? Again, you throw out so many baseless accusations that I'm not sure what you want me to say? Like you being out of town changes anything. You obviously have a Iphone or whatever. Do you really think I would set around plotting around your schedule anyway? As if that would quacking matter?
I never said you were mafia. I said that a lot of your reasoning is suspicious. This isn't the first time it's happened. You make yourself look suspicious. If you didn't realize that, now you do.
You have a tendency to misread people or it's likely I'm hard for you to read. My point about editing post was that I"M THE PLAYER that has probably edited more mafia posts then anyone. And I never do it with any intention other then to clarify my post. I wasn't trying to defend myself, as you see I try not to edit post either. Jesus. I was saying it's a baseless attack on other players that mafia tend to use. And that is a fact in my experience in this game. You could always delete the post and start again if you said something so damaging that an edit within a couple minutes couldn't cure.
Also, I just read Mafia 45 and I said nothing of the sort. You are either being shady or failing at data gathering yet again.
No, it's not unfortunate. It's pretty simple and you are skirting the issue. Give everyone here a logical reason why you think it is OK to make a post that could later compromise a player that you truly have no clue about. WHAT IF SHE IS THE INSPECTOR? This is pretty quacking simple. Your post compromised her and possible the entire game. For what reason?
This was your thoughts in your first game, which I'm reading to figure out if any of your facts are ever right (For those playing along at home. He almost always gets things wrong about me, regardless of his role.)
I don't see townies at a disadvantage. We have strength in numbers, and if my rabblerousing helps us peg mafia earlier, we maintain that numerical advantage. Plus it hides the inspector and let's them observe and deduce. But, we need to kill mafia because they will go after us as we get closer.
So you go from that to a completely baseless accusation about a player possible faking inspector before the first round run off even started? AND YOU DON"T SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH THAT? Do you just not understand how the game works? That's a completely honest question. Do you understand how the game works? Please don't make the first round 20 pages to let us all know the answer.
You are being so over the top defensive about this, it's not even funny.
And I'm reading Mafia 46 and I don't know what you are talking about? How and where did you mention a possible fake inspector? I'm strictly talking about you bringing it up as a possible mafia ploy, in the way you have done in this game. Clearly you realize that was my concern.
Just to get off of Null. I honestly think the current runoff is pretty poop and some mafia manipulation are absolutely involved.
SFA >>> Viking
This is the post where SFA tossed me in right before the runoff. I included it for a few reasons. SFA, in Mafia 42 you got upset with phi the inspector. It was not 45. I labelled it wrong since i was in a rush in the am to get my family out the door and i was on my android. I didn't read SFA right in my first game (mafia 46) but had an easier time in 47, and knew who he was prior to the reset. As I said earlier, in reading back, I think he may be a townie this game, but I am still confused about the last second toss in. Compromising the real inspector would be a bad thing, but I think she is mafia, and not the inspector. A real inspector would not be this reckless unless they had the names of multiple mafia members like I thought I did before this game got cancelled. What kind of inspector would label 4 different people as suspicious at this point? I am sorry that you do not like the move, but I would do the same thing in a future game if need be. Also, your forgetting about when I thought you would pull fake inspector in 46. I wrote about it that night, so i am not going to reinclude that, but I thought I would mention it again.
Viking, I too, am not going to tell you again that I am not Mafia. I am not. Period. And as for the attacks, you started it. I even quoted your post that started it all. And you then charged after me when I voted for you because your post trying to poop on Bacon rubbed me the wrong way. YOU STARTED THE ATTACK. Go back and read your posts, pretend like someone elses name is on top. You should be ashamed of some of the things you write. You play cocky, I'll say it again, and you admit it. You are really cocky in the first round. You know, we all see it. I didn't tell you that you are a Narcissist. I didn't tell you that you are a cocky person. I told you that you are cocky in the first round. Clearly a remark about how you play the game, not who you are as a person. However you said some poopy stuff that had nothing to do with the game, and despite your faux apology I don't forgive you and will not forget. Mainly because you have spoken to me personally, and how you can say poop like that to someone over a game, things that have nothing to do with the game itself, is beyond me. It's pretty embarrassing to have someone who has spoken to you on a personal level tell you that you have a "persecution complex" in front of everyone on Inforoo. That doesn't even have anything to do with game or playing a game.
Well Congrats Bacon! You got all 4 of the people you wanted in the runoff. I was suspicious of the way you votes for Mike D to start they round and just like with cstnz, I never took my eye off you.
I am finally able to log back on my cell and catch up after a long day with the inlaws. I only have a minute to post after reading but a few quick thoughts.
I have been personally attacked, insulted and lied about all day by people who knew I could not defend myself. I have also been labeled as Mafia solely because certain people said so. These same people said don't listen to me and the data and info I spent a lot of time researching because it does not count regarding them.
Bonnie suffered the same treatment today. She opened her mouth regarding LLL and now she is in the runoff too.
As I said earlier today, each of you has your own voice. Every person in the runoff is related to the 3 people I had tagged earlier this round. I may be wrong and I may be right. If someone else has a different logic thread I would love to hear it. Those who have played.with me the last 2 games know that I am willing to back off if what you have to say makes sense.
Right now, I believe LLL is the most likely Mafia we have in the game by a long shot. I will try to check in the morning again but I definitely cannot type this much again until Sunday afternoon. If you all feel I need to die, then fine. I am ready since I think it is likely that we have at least 1 if not 2 or 3 Mafia highlighted at this point.
I'll try and be around but if I can't reread the thread and good hunting. I have a pretty good feeling as are about to go 3 for 3!
Bonnie is in the run-off not because she is "suffering", it is because she voted for me. Duh. Just like you voted for me after I voted for you, despite you saying that you think that Bacon should have been in the run-off. You voted for me to reciprocate. I did the same to Bonnie. Stop being so dramatic. You tell me I'm throwing a hissy fit, for real? And you are this dramatic about everything.
And you are FOS about anyone attacking you personally up until just now when I called you dramatic, and pointed out your own persecution complex traits. People are trying to point out to you that you are CONSTANTLY belitttling people's playing styles. That is not a PERSONAL attack that has to do with the way you play the game, game style man. If I'm playing basketball and someone tells me they think I am doing something wrong, they aren't personally attacking me. You're smart enough to know that, and this is why I think that this may be part of your Mafia schlick.
For those keeping track at home, this is her 4th response to my post that night. I did not continue attacking anyone, but continued to be attacked.
This is part one. I promise part 2 will be much much shorter since not much additional light was shed the last few days. I have to split it up though, since I hit the character limit trying to quote the next post!
The fact that you turn it around to you is quacking amazing, when you started it. quacking unreal.
And here is where LLL lies about who started the personal attacks. As previously quoted, she DID call me cocky, and now twists it to say it is only how I play the game. The thing is, I like LLL outside this game, and I would never say she has a persecution complex outside of here. She keeps bringing the game into the realm of Real life though to get the emotional reaction. I said Nothing about things outside the game that you didn't mention first. The incredible part is the last line most applies the herself. If anyone should be embarrassed, it is you, LLL.
I get what your saying LLL but this was pretty his style last game too. He took major offense to the idea that SFA and I were making calls and he even was too thick to get that me saying I was a run away for the MVP of the game was a joke.
I'm not saying he is innocent but i dont think his posting style is enough to go either way. I do think there are some very damning things that he posted that SFA pointed out. All the inspector/fake inspector stuff was weird. I really have no reason to believe LD is on either side, but he was the one I wanted to hear from the most. I hope that he explains himself before the end of this.
I get your reciprocation of the Bonzai vote and I am also glad she is here. Another player I want to hear more from. That said I would have not done the same in your shoes. If we were to decide to do another run-off I would want it to be a 2-way between LLL and WVL. I am still very convinced that one of you has to be mafia. I just really can't tell which of you is and who your associates would be.
Who would you have rather had? Are you saying there is someone else you would have rather had in the run-off? If so, I'd like your feedback. I always keep my eye on quieter players. One is usually Inspector, and there are always one or two Mafia hoping to slide by while we slice our own throats.
I'm a little concerned about you and Mike D putting LD in. While he is quiet, I feel like he could be an easy Mafia target. He is someone that a few of the players would not even defend, mainly because of the previous games they have played with him. From what I have read, it seems that some of the players felt like he sabotaged at least one game, and I think that those players would silently allow him to be voted off.
Do you have any specific reason why you think that he is a good choice for the run-off? What about you Mike D?
As far as my vote for Bonzai, it really was a reciprocal vote. I figured I could go back and change to viking need be, since I did want him in the run-off.
I'm really eager to see how everyone else votes, and I do absolutely agree we should whittle this down to a two person run-off. I feel two person run-offs are more telling.
Add Mike D to the list of the accused. And now she is sticking up for LD, who had forgotten he was playing the game?
First: I. AM. NOT. MAFIA. I know you can't know that unless you ARE mafia, so since I am sick of repeating it, I am breaking it down in crayon for you.
Repeating what? Not sure you have been strait out called mafia by anyone.
You clearly have a problem with answering direct questions or explaining what your "facts" actually are. I'm still not sure.
LOL No dude. You were the one coming against us. LLL has already explained this and I've explained it to. YOU are the one that has to be right about everything and has to flash your "accomplishments" around. That's your own goddang fault.
You don't have your reference charts? Holy quack it's the end of the world.
Or there is also the possibility that nobody gives a quack if you are out of town or people had no clue because it's not important to their own lives? Did that cross your mind? And also the fact that you clearly can have the technology to still participate in the game. Most people do these days.
You should really take a step back and look at how egotistical your posts are. I mean you really should. It's comical. I hope your are mafia because if you aren't then this kind of stuff is just quacking embarrassing.
How do you know what I was doing that night? Are you so full of yourself that you honestly believe that I plan my day around responding to you or giving a quack about when you are online? How many times do I have to say this to people. Most of my posts are always at night. That is an absolute fact. I log in and I don't log out. Another fact. Ask a mod. You are grasping at straws and really reaching here. OR do you have an agenda?
Ohhh, you know me so well. You have it all figured out. Get over yourself. Like quacking really. It's a fact that I logged into inforoo. Now that is a revelation for the ages.
Here is another fact, sense you seem to think LLL and I are in cahoots. I obviously have her phone number. Why would I need to be on inforoo to speak with her? How many times am I going to have to explain this to you? Being logged in doesn't matter at all. It simply doesn't matter. I will say it again. Mafia can use Facebook, text, tinychat, etc... Log in times tells you absolutely nothing solid.
If you are a townie, you arn't helping at all. And LOL at laying out facts. That's truly funny.
It has worked in the past, and even SFA when he takes the LLL blinders off will admit that I was right more often than not last game. It is my 3rd game, so I am still learning, but I put as much or more time into it than most of the experienced players. Ask questions, and make sure people give you answers instead of squirming away. That is the only way to find mafia in round 1 and we need to kill one this round, otherwise our advantage is lost.
That doesn't mean you are right this game and based off of your horrible reasoning I'd say you are mafia or wrong.
SFA, as I have done in the past, when my THEORIES are wrong, I am willing to back off, and I have done so at this point. I have no problem answering direct questions, or even indirect ones as I did with you several times earlier this game. Your theories are not always right either, but at least with the number of posts we have, we can look back and see patterns. I am not changing how I play because I believe it works and gives us townies an advantage.
Well Congrats Bacon! You got all 4 of the people you wanted in the runoff. I was suspicious of the way you votes for Mike D to start they round and just like with cstnz, I never took my eye off you.
Could you clarify this please?
What does this even mean? You are clearly still here posting? What angle are you trying to say I have? It makes me feel like you are saying I'm your stalker or something.
ZOMG it's all a conspiracy. Can we please just vote him off now? Jubus, I'm sick of reading this poop.
Yes, I forgot to vote for you earlier. It wasn't my vote for you that I regretted. It was that it was a 4 person runoff. Did I say anything about not wanting to vote for you? No, because frankly it will take a lot for someone to make me move my vote off of you.
I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I like to talk about myself. It's pretty clear that I like to talk about myself. It's pretty clear that I like to talk about myself.
Dramatic much? If someone else is responsible for putting someone in a runoff then it must be shady. Which goes against what you preach. Aren't we all suppose to be head hunting?
But you have failed to really engage anyone and answer their questions?
Why did you feel the need to run Bacon and I down? What was the purpose of that?
Why do have such a hard time interacting in a simple discussion with others players this game? Are you hiding something?
If you all feel I need to die, then fine.
I'm not changing my vote simply because I'm sick of your playing style for this game at least. Plus, I think you might be mafia. So there is that.
Proving I have no problem answering your questions when I can look up data as needed, here it goes:
1 - I put that in, since Bacon got the people he had labeled as suspicious a page back all in the runoff. I could not cite it at the time and have hence had a feeling I was wrong about him.
2 - It was not meant to label you as a stalker, just a player who uses every trick from his vast amount of experience. I discussed this in Part 1, but it was very shady at the time, and I think you have admitted that it does not look good since then.
3 - I don't think you need an answer here. I don't see the need to redefend the way I play.
4 - Again, no answer needed.
5 - Agree that that is what I preach. I put it in there because Bonnie was the 4th person LLL cast suspicion on and for the same reason as me.
6 - I have no issues with discussion, I was simply out of town and on my droid, which as I stated in mafia 46, is not the best way to play especially the way I play. I feel uncomfortable making long posts on it, since I cannot verify that what I am putting out there is accurate. Hence why I got Mafia 45 and 42 mixed up earlier. Mistakes happen when I am on my mobile, and I dont like it. I was running you and bacon down because I thought there was a link with you both and LLL. I have already said after rereading with perspective, I do not see it anymore. Not saying either of you is innocent, but what I thought was there when I was going back and forth, does not seem to be there and now that I had the weekend off, and am rereading, I am saying my Theory was wrong.
7 - You can vote the way you want. I have put my thoughts out there. If you disagree vote the other way.
OK, I am going to end this here, since people just went in circles the next few pages. If anyone has specific questions, I will give them specific answers as above. LLL is almost certainly mafia. She has lied, twisted what I said, accused me of spinning webs, and accused half the players of being suspicious. I admittedly got sucked in and caused SFA and Bacon to come to her defense. No more emotion. My THEORY is that LLL is mafia, at least 1 of the quiet ones is mafia, and one of the players she has accused may be mafia too. That is what the facts above point to in my mind. Again, sorry for the length, but as I said, I am sick of a liar calling me a liar.
Nice, so after I take the time to reason out everything, before you could EVER have read it all since it posted 2 minutes before your post, you call me insane and vote for me.
Update 2: In the course of doing my research on the other post, I ran across this. This lie slipped by everyone, but if there is any doubt at this point after that as to who the liar is, This should settle it:
Also, everytime I have been a Townie, townies have won, so I had nothing to do with the Townies losing at all.
This is a flat out lie and LLL knows it. The benefit of doing research is that I know it too. Just a quick look back through Mafia 34, and LLL only won once (or twice) (35 and 46 if you count her as being inspector) as a townie, but lost twice (37 & 38). If you read nothing else in this post, read this, since it shows how she lies with 0 backup while tearing down my posts which are made of actual research
This is why I NEVER lie or modify facts to suit my needs. They come back to bite you in the @ss.

You are correct, I forgot I even played in that game I was voted off so early. Nice work Viking.
We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.
Nice, so after I take the time to reason out everything, before you could EVER have read it all since it posted 2 minutes before your post, you call me insane and vote for me.
I was obviouslly referring to the first one and I stand by what I said. Plus, I'd already voted for you. I was just making sure everyone knows where I stand.
But I do love how you clam to never lie or twist things to suit your needs. You might not do it on purpose but I've already pointed out where you have tried to make points about me using pasts games. You were flat out wrong both times.
Also, LLL said the same thing last game when she was the inspector. She's clearly forgotten those games sense she was voted out early or whatever reason she has. Like not caring that much or something.
I'll put time into reading the rest of your novel when get home from work.
So I was going to let this slide in the interest of a more peaceful game, but you know what. Fu*k you SFA. I spent 5 hours on that post, a good portion of which was spent answering questions and responding to comments you made, so Fu*k you.
I went back and read multiple games, reread this one many times both in fragements and all the way through in an attempt to help secure another townie win, and all you come back with is another personal insult on my sanity and again the way I play.
Just because you have played almost every game does not mean you know everything. This is my theory. If you want to take the time to break it down and do all the godd@mn research, go for it. But stop with the Fu*king personal attacks and then playing it off like I was the one who started it. That is the last time I ever answer a question from you. Ever.

I am currently printing off some paper that quotes Viking being sure that I am Mafia so that he can eat it later.
Viking you should probably stop, because I'm not Mafia, nor am I the Inspector. If you build your theories of who Mafia is based on anything that has to do with me you are going to completely fuck up the whole game because every theory after that will be wrong.
I'm not reading your novella, because it is based on an incorrect premise, therefore nothing in it is going to be correct. When you start out hardheaded on one theory that is wrong, it makes it hard to see past all of the dust. And if townies go on your theory that I am Mafia they are going to lose unless they right themselves at some point and change gears.

Also Viking, this is a game. We each pick a persona to play with in this game. Some are more meek than usual, some of us more bossy than usual, some louder than usual. I can understand your frustration because I remember you had it in our first game. I would like to implore you to keep in mind that you are playing a game. Perhaps this is the persona that you have chosen to play with, but I'm going to be honest with you, it seems WAY over the top, so it's hard to tell if you are purposely trying to be an ass to everyone and insult people or if you are just wrapped up in your character.
Just want to point that out to you because no body wants hard feelings at the end of a game because one player took it too far.

The world will not come to an end if you lose. It will not come to an end if Mafia win. It will not come to an end if you get voted off, nor will my world come to an end if I get voted off. It's really not that big of a deal to be spending 5 hours on. Have an afternoon cocktail maybe?

I'm saying all of this because I can relate. I like to win too. I like to play my best when I play a game. I get pretty intense and wrapped up in it and have found it hard to keep my person and my role separated. It took me a few games in a row to do that. Last game I played was my first in a long time but I have my groove back now. Get in your zone man. You have some good things to say sometimes, but sometimes you get on a wrong theory and you won't relent and it causes problems for the other Townies (assuming you are a townie). You've done it before, you are doing it now. Chill.

Sorry. As I said, I spent 5 hours on that post, not counting the initial read through and posts and as I said, I was going to let the comment slide. But I was on a call with a client and it kept eating at me, and I got so pissed off that I essentially wasted my entire morning typing that out and doing research for a game, and explaining my thoughts. I am still furious that SFA just brushed it all off with a personal insult and called me insane, but I am going to walk away for a while and cool off before I post again.
Stepping out of the game, thanks LLL, I needed that. I am always very aggressive when competing at anything, and really hate losing. That's why I dump so much time into this game. Sometimes, I need the cold water to the face to restore sanity.
Back to the game, we are essentially at the standoff I was with EAP last game. I believe I got it right in this. SFA's last comment does not change the fact that I may have been wrong about him being mafia. I stand by what I posted and will update as needed to clarify based on any questions everyone has.
For the record I've read everything up to this point. I'm quiet, I know. I'm also a Townie again, so I have absolutely no idea who anyone else is at this point. This talking in circles is not making things any clearer for me.
The truth is that LLL AND SFA AND Viking could all be Townies. The back and forth and back and forth could be between two or even three innocent Townspeople while the Mafia just sit back and laugh.
Is it just me or are these Day 1 rounds getting longer and longer each game???
I think the hardest part about this runoff is that there is SO much to reread and analyze. When posts get too long or are reiterating what has already been said, I have trouble concentrating. Viking and LL are 47% of the total posts in this game so far.
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.
