Mini 379: Speed Mafia (game over!)

[Arafax]

Once my Turtle gets to feed, all your pre-votes will replace your old votes immediately.

What does this mean?

[Arafax]

Oh, by the way /confirm.

Thanks Twomz!

[Arafax]

Tamuz and Twomz...Wow, I'll be screwing that one up....Maybe I'll refer to you guys as the drunk penguin and the scratcher???

[Arafax]

Sorry if I have missed something, but I skimmed a little for now....5 pages in a few RL hours?..Wow!...Will actually read and post more in an hour or so.

Question

so we are currently on a deadline of sorts, right?...When is that deadline?

I think that idea of the cop claiming on phase 2 or 3 is not a bad idea, but only if they have a decent amount of info (innocent or guilty)...He should not claim now for any reason IMO.

[Arafax]

I like Twomz's idea of no lynching for 2 days...Then having the cop reveal innocents.

BA does seems scummy, but he posts a ton...IMO scum won't post a ton (WIFOM, I know), but that has been my experience, little as it may be.

FOS anyone

following others plans without giving their own input...There are a few of you IMO.

I'm all for the lurker hunting...However, if you are a pro-town power role you need to post more or get a replacement.

So,

Vote MrBuddyLee

...Seems the scummiest thus far.

[Arafax]

If we all think that math and percentages are scummy why is everyone still talking about it?...I still think that no lynching for 2 or 3 phases (or days) then having the cop reveal info, then go lynching quickly is our best idea so far.

Unvote MrBuddyLee

I got the cat avaitars confused (sorry - meant to vote Zindaras)...He (zindaras) seemed to be following a blindly and not posting his own content, but as of late he seems to have done enough to not seem scummy IMO.

Vote themanhimself

for his last 3 posts...OMGUS!

[Arafax]

Just because they vote you doesn't necesarily mean that they are scum, or even that they want you dead.

Why exactly do you vote for someone then? (apart from randomness)...And if you don't want BA dead, why are you voting for him?

[Arafax]

Unless you have done some good research, fixed an admin problem, changed the game rules, and have the deducive skills of Mycroft Holmes, no you don't

Ummm, actually I think you should be the one explaining your own posts...I read what you post (without doing any other unecessary work) and reply to what you actually posted....Also, I love to vote people top see their reaction; yours in noted.

Palito, I disagree...I have made pro-town posts IMO, but you're allowed to have your own opinion.

[Arafax]

I thought that PhaseII (day) started today at 5PM EST, but why didn't the kill go through until 40 minutes later?...Sorry, but I do admit that I'm still a tad confused by the setup.

Oh, and I guess the whole let's not lynch for a few phases, let the cop come out, then start speed lynching is kinda out...SUCK!

[Arafax]

Mert, I am suprised that after replacing and reading the entire game the only thing that you came up with was to vote me because one post rubbed you the wrong way.

@ Mayhem...Why do you think my posts are "low content?"...I have given my opinions and have voted (twice, I think) for people who I thought were scummy....What are you looking for?...I will agree however that I am not posting as much as everyone (due to working 9-5), but that does not mean that they are "low content."

Will wait for an aswer, before I vote Mayhem...I understand mistakes, but not misrepping.

[Arafax]

Mert, I took your post #237 as your re-read and entry into the game...You did not mention Mayhem once in that post, but your next post (besides a vote only post) you state that you would lynch Mayhem....What's with that?....

FOS Mert

[Arafax]

Since everyone is giving their 2 cents on the kill; it was totally a SK.

@Mayhem, I agree, I do post less than most, but I still post at least 1 or 2 times a day.

[Arafax]

Arafax, please go into more detail on your thoughts of BA. Your protection of him during his significant wagon was noted.

I just thought he was being lynched for a reason in which I thought was not scummy (mostly the #s)....He seems to be posting way too much (WIFOM, I know) but I still think that in this set up scum will lay lower for a bit; he never did that.

FOS Tamuz

- Post 265 makes no sense IMO....My votes stays on themanhimslef for loving that silly post.

[Arafax]

We have been at this for 12 pages without a lynch and besides the BA wagon, we haven't been too close to one yet either....My thoughts are that perhaps scum is vote hopping and dirtying the waters, so I did a read through and found that 2 of us have voted signifigantly more than the rest.

BA and Twomz have voted 7 times (in 12 pages) while most have voted 3 or 4 times at most...As said earlier, BA is the only one we came close to lynching...Perhaps we couldn't lynch him becasue scum would not hop on the wagon (I myslef was not on that wagon, I know), but it's a thought.

Also, HackerHuck (scum) never voted BA.....I'm happy to

Unvote - Vote BA

[Arafax]

Also noted is your attempt to end the bandwagon which would be leading to our first lynch on M4yhem.

I'm not trying to stop any lynch...I just find you scummy...What are you saying?..That I should jump on the M4yhem wagon???

I've jumped to whoever was on my list and currently had votes consistently.

I just think that you have "jumped" a little too much....It's just my opinion...Your defense is noted.

Happy with my vote on BA

[Arafax]

I'm not sure why Twomz and BA find me scummy?....Because I wasn't going to lynch M4yhem?....If you look back, I wasn't the only not voting for him & I will never vote for someone that I don't find scummy...The fact that we got 2 Scum already means that we're doing well and don't need to do anything stupid without logical reasons.

BA - The fact that you just jumped on me now (another jump) keeps me suspicious of you...My vote will stay.

[Arafax]

WAIT

I'm a Vig...I did not kill HH or anyone else...I didn't kill becuase I wasn't sure of who scum was....I didn't claim at first because I wasn't sure if there could be 2 Vig's and if there was I didn't know if there should be two of us out...But now I am thinking that Mert could be an SK.

[Arafax]

PS - Wile E. Coyote is my name.

[Arafax]

Consider Mert dead.....

Also Arafax, how come you didn't know your role until now?

I do know my role...I didn't claim right away because I thought that there may be 2 Vig's...I have thought better of that now.

[Arafax]

Kill was sent to Howfast....It will happen

[Arafax]

I sent in the kill...My PM back said that it was processed....Confused....Maybe Mert in not able to be killed in this phase?...Or maybe he is part of a second scum group that maybe have a RB?....I'm telling you, I'm the Vig....Why else would I claim?...It makes no sense at all, if I have killing powers why woudn't I just kill Mert during the phase without telling everyone?...I wouldn't do that and that's not WIFOM; I would be a moron to do that.

Since everyone is giving their 2 cents on the kill; it was totally a SK.

Also, this is what I posted back when HH got killed...It was the best that I could do without claiming.

[Arafax]

Oh yeah,

Vote Mert

[Arafax]

Grrr...

Unvote - Vote Mert

PS, please do one of two things....Lynch me quick and still get Mert in this phase too or at least lynch him tomorrow...MBL & BA, IMO it is a cop-out to vote without saying why; I know that in may seem simple as to why your'e voting me, but I find it scummy.

Off to work, will I be dead when I return?...BLAST!

[Arafax]

Why would you lynch me over Mert?....My claim is much more believable...Think about it; why would I claim Vig if I couldn't kill to prove it???...That's ludicrous....Obviously Mert is either an un-phase-able SK or he is part of a second scum group and they RB'd me when I posted that I would kill him or something....Think about it!...It makes no sense for me to claim for no reason...I also bread crumbed it earlier...We should really be lynching Mert....You guys are smarter than this.

[Arafax]

Why did you lead us to believe your kill would go through this phase? It seems that you don't understand how your role works.

I am going by the rule I'm quoting below...obviously mert is unphasekillable or my kill was blocked...I even PMed the Mod and asked if I killed now, would it take effect now, and I was told as long as it was before the end of this phase, it would go through.

Any role powers that work instantly (e.g. cops, vigilantes) will take effect as soon as we receive the choice of target, or as soon as Phase II of the same block starts, whichever happens last. So if you send in Phase I, you'll have to wait.

[Arafax]

Any opinions on who I should kill?...I seriously think that Mert is scum, but I think that he may be un-phase-killable...Why wasn't he lynched???

*****Points gun at Twomz & smirks***** Becasue of:

How about everyone voting mert prevotes arafax, and we get one other to prevote arafax, than i can drop the hammah on both of them?

Why are 2 of you pre voting me without knowing anything?...IMO it's more protown to wait and see Mert's alignemnt before you start trying to lynch me.

[Arafax]

I'm annoyed that Mert isn't dead so I hold you responsible even though you shouldn't be.

I would think that Twomz was responsible for not hammering when he had the chance.

[Arafax]

Arafax, I wasn't talking about the lynch...

Ooops; sorry....I was, what the heck Twomz?

[Arafax]

1. Arafax: vig (duh)
2. Twomz
3. Themanhimself
4. MrBuddyLee
5. pablito
6. Tamuz
7. Bogre
8. Brutal Assassin

This sounds good...did I miss anyone?

[Arafax]

So, Pablito is up....I think themanhimslef should claim as soon as he posts.

[Arafax]

Sigh, Arafax, you should've had me claim last.

Bust...Sorry man.

[Arafax]

The VC has Borge & Twomz voting me...No one else is voting (I think)...7 still alive.

Howfast

can you prod themanhimself?

It's now Phase II of Block 2. Nothing happens. Talkers, please stop talking. Block 3 starts next Monday.

I think that we should wait until theman claims...We have a few RLD's.

[Arafax]

Hermes, back-up cop. Block 1 - innocent on Twomz.

Uh, I would like to leave Twomz alone for now due to this post...I would still like to wait for themanhimself before we decide anything.

However, I will not just vig someone to prove my innocence if I don't think they're scummy.

[Arafax]

No, I did not kill Themanhimself....Sorry I went to a concert last night and spent all of Friday with my wife as she is going to be in Boston for a few days...

Tamuz is Clark kent?...This is only speculation, but his name seems "less speed" IMO...Just a thought.

I still think that BA is scummy.

[Arafax]

Wait, you "know" that someone is not scum, but can't say why?...You claimed townie not mason, so what's with that?

I'm not stalling the game, if you want him dead than try to lynch him....I'm not your only means...The game is getting close to the end, so I will not just kill someone for you.

How about this, if you are so certain that Bogre is town, I'll kill him, but if he's not scum; you're the next to go?....Would you like to put your money where your mouth is?....I am not saying that Borge is or is not scum, but I don't have a serious thought that he is...You're the scummiest IMO.

[Arafax]

I'm not certain that Bogre is scum. Through process of elimination, I've narrowed it down to 2 possibilities, after, of course, you clear yourself by making a vig kill. The more you stall, the more I'm inclined to add you to the list of suspects.

Tell me how you came to this process of elimination...Enlighten me and maybe I'll believe you...But, I again will not kill someone just to kill them...A vig who kills randomly is worse than scum.

[Arafax]

I would doubt that 2 scum are left, I would guess 1 more...Since Tamuz "vouches" for BA (makes me think that BA is telling the truth about knowing Tamuz is innocent)....That leaves Bogre, Twomz, and MrBuddyLee.

Why Borge if I may ask?

[Arafax]

So, I think that we're down to choosing either MBL or Bogre....Kill one and if we're wrong lynch the other?

[Arafax]

Awesome game...I really enjoyed....Thanks for modding (all of you)!
