Mini 98-Cellular Mafia! It's Over!

Confirm

[MeMe]

Nice...

random vote: Glamdring

[MeMe]

Well that took a long time to start after MeMe had confirmed. Hmm . . . I wonder why that was?

Hmmm...maybe because night 1 didn't even

start

until after I confirmed?

[MeMe]

You guys should be bowing down, kissing my feet my feet in thanks for coming in as a replacement so this game could get underway.

Ingrates.

[MeMe]

And, at the risk of sounding vain, it just occurred to me that the time between my confirmation and dawn breaking

could

have been due to mafia/doc/cop/whathaveyou switching to me as their target.

[MeMe]

A little early in the game (only four contributing members so far) to declare that your "vote stays," Rick. Looking a little rabid, to me.

[MeMe]

I've said it out loud several times now...and that is

so cool

.

[MeMe]

unvote: Glamdring

I like the "interp" and think there might be something to it...but one thing about it I

don't

like: it's text in a quote box that

isn't

an actual quote. I hate that because it can be misleading (although Glamdring did tag it as his words, I still think of that as a dangerous practice).

vote: kleimar

Let's roll.

[MeMe]

Quite plausible/possible...

unvote: kleimar
vote: Rick

[MeMe]

Interesting that your alibi consists of exactly two people... One of whom is already suspected of being scum...

vIQles...looking over your posts, you've been particularly unhelpful and now the above really takes the cake. Fletcher isn't even IN this game -- so what, exactly, are you implying?? And yes, I

saw

all the smileys, but it doesn't make your post any easier to stomach.

For the record, all three of us know each other in real life, so I can confirm that he actually was on vacation...but not whether or not he's scum.

[MeMe]

unvote: Rick
vote: BlueSin

The mod said he's been prodded and I see he posted elsewhere this evening, so he definitely received the prod. Extremely weird he didn't give us

something

.

[MeMe]

OT:
Meme: I'm sorry if I offended you...

You did

not

offend me, vIQles -- you just heightened my awareness of you.

And I'm keeping my vote on BS (pun intended).

[MeMe]

unvote: BlueSin
vote: Yggdrasil

Because he thinks "mitochondrion" is the convincing part of Rick's claim.

[MeMe]

If you don't know which portion of Rick's post screams "I'm definitely town" the loudest...then I'd have to say you're probably out of the loop and, quite probably, scum.

FOS: Malaprop

[MeMe]

Nope - don't think I will.

[MeMe]

OK...cool...

unvote: Yggdrasil
vote: Malaprop

[MeMe]

Yggdrasil...

Never mind.

[MeMe]

unvote: Malaprop
vote: Yggdrasil

Because I kinda buy that. Now no role claim is safe...but I think it would have been risky for Mal to put the "Congratulations!" as part of his claim if he weren't town because, for all scum knew, DB could have only been congratulating the cell-destroying roles.

I'm not

sold

on his innocence -- but neither am I sure enough to vote him over Yggdrasil.

[MeMe]

I'd bet the farm that both Yggdrasil & mlaker are scum.

[MeMe]

Sorry - that was quick and probably needs explanation...

Yggdrasil

- too late; sure he understands

now

.

mlaker

- wants to know if anyone else got "Congratulations" -- sounds like he didn't. And when he voted Malaprop it was with "definate scummyness" as an explanation, but I don't think he really understood the bandwagon because his back-up "huge almost vote" went to vIQles instead of Yggdrasil.

As for

Malaprop

, I'm not so sure about his scumminess anymore because, as I said earlier, he posted his role with the "Congratulations!" which could have been risky if he were scum. I have the same beginning to my role, so I'll go after the other one who didn't catch on quickly.

[MeMe]

Um...so...anyone got anything to say?

[MeMe]

vote: mlaker

Yggdrasil worked out...I think mlaker will as well.

[MeMe]

*yawn*

I say we lynch him and get on with the game. Everyone's welcome to blame me tomorrow if he's innocent, but 1) I doubt he is and 2) this standstill is interminable.

[MeMe]

Well, even if we have just one killing group, it could still contain two members. I do agree that it it's looking as though the game lacks an SK...but don't want to bank on it just in case he's got some restrictions or has chosen to lie low to lull us into a false sense of security.

Basically, I'd consider a cop claim at this point somewhat risky. We're in good shape having played only two game days resulting in two scum lynches...let's see what day 3 shakes lose. We can consider exposing important roles later on if we've not come up with any compelling suspicions.

[MeMe]

Ah - good point, Mal -- I'd forgotten about DB's role revelation.

We still can't write off the possibility of super-docs or a lying-low SK, though -- and I'm paranoid enough to fear the worst in every game. ~whines~

[MeMe]

Yes - I've just looked at all of ben's posts (6) and there's absolutely nothing to them. Good call.

vote: bigbenwd

[MeMe]

unvote: bigbenwd

for now. Seems plausible to my admittedly non-biology-majored mind.

[MeMe]

Fine.

I'm a Golgi Body: even-night doc. I protected Caveman Night 2.

[MeMe]

Why on earth did you block ME, Caveman? If you thought there was only one scum group...and take a look -- I was largely responsible for the lynches of two of its members....well...I mean...What the HECK?

[MeMe]

And looking back over your posts, you were hard after bigben yesterday -- and said today that you've been suspicious of him "from the beginning." Wouldn't it have made much more sense to block

him

? You also said this yesterday regarding mlaker's bandwagon:

Seems I'm late for the lynching party. I guess I'll wait and see what happens.

When Quailman pointed out that you weren't late at all, instead of voting him you said this

Yeah, it is confusing.

I did a search on 'scum. mlaker has been MIA since March 29th. Did he go on another vacation?

Rather weird for someone who seemed upset about missing the lynch.

vote: Caveman

If I'm forgetting some crucial bit of evidence clearing Caveman, someone please tip me off. At the moment, he looks scum-scum-scummy.

[MeMe]

Caveman - of course I'm not saying we should lynch people without allowing a response. But the case against mlaker was pretty strong...SO strong, in fact, I can't believe you didn't block HIM on night 2 rather than Malaprop.

And, just to explain myself...I'd "cleared" you on a bit of sketchy detective work of my own and now I'm second-guessing it because your Nights 2 & 3 actions seem hinky....

Here's the deal -- it's a little sneaky, but this is what happened: Day 1, after Rick posted his win criteria and the brouhaha started with Yggdrasil & Mal seeming not to understand it, you logged on and I saw you browsing Little Italy. Then you left Little Italy without posting and I thought "a-ha! Scum afraid to post because he doesn't understand what's going on either!" Then, I clicked the "Who Is Online" link at the bottom of the Forum Index and saw you were checking your Private Messages...and then you immediately came back to the game, said you believed Rick, and voted Malaprop. THAT convinced me of your innocence because you seemed to read the thread, then check your own role PM's win criteria, and vote accordingly.

It seemed strong at the time...but without that "evidence" your blocks make very little sense.

[MeMe]

I personally think the game was set up well and wonder how things might have gone without the board funkiness -- which is what prevented mlaker from logging on to defend himself. I don't know that I would have

believed

him regardless of what he said, but it would have been nice for him to be able to make the effort.

Just like players learn a little more with each game...mods learn a little more with each game. If mods allow direct quoting of Role PMs, it's best to shake up the wording a bit from role to role

unless

the scum is terribly strong and the town needs all the help it can get. That said, I was happy with the game -- DB was attentive, accurate (more than most, anyway!), and wrote good roles. I look forward to playing in the next game he mods!

[MeMe]

DB - can we get full roles & night choices? I'm especially curious about what happened Night 1 that resulted in no death.

[MeMe]

Did you know? Deduce? Guess? Are you really that good at this? Or did you have some sort of inside info?

This was immediate explanation for my "bet the farm" statement...

Sorry - that was quick and probably needs explanation...

Yggdrasil

- too late; sure he understands

now

.

mlaker

- wants to know if anyone else got "Congratulations" -- sounds like he didn't. And when he voted Malaprop it was with "definate scummyness" as an explanation, but I don't think he really understood the bandwagon because his back-up "huge almost vote" went to vIQles instead of Yggdrasil.

As for

Malaprop

, I'm not so sure about his scumminess anymore because, as I said earlier, he posted his role with the "Congratulations!" which could have been risky if he were scum. I have the same beginning to my role, so I'll go after the other one who didn't catch on quickly.

So, yeah. Total deduction -- mlaker's "Congratulations" statement caught my eye...but it was also the fact that he didn't vote for Yggdrasil, which he should have if he understood the bandwagon.

(I'm not rereading at this time but didn't you start the caveman bandwagon as well?)

Yeah, but I explained that as well -- it had to do with his claimed night choices not lining up with his day behavior. Sometimes I think it's just that I'm on the site so durn often that makes me the first to notice stuff. It's not that I'm better at the game...just the first reading and commenting on the scummy-sounding posts.
