Be Excellent To Each Other

It's been quite the night in Gotham City. The first casualty found is ComicalGnomes, a neat hole in the back of his head, his police-issued sidearm still in its holster. ComicalGnomes was a GCPD Cop.

The next victim is, well, it's hard to tell at first. He's lying in the street, dressed in a strange red and green outfit and surrounded by packets of jelly, which are scattered as if hurriedly dropped. His face and chest have been bashed into bloody chunks, obviously using the bloodied crowbar lying by his feet. There may be a hint of a smile on his face, but it's hard to tell given the blood and gore. Someone leans in to check and jumps back, as the poor soul exhales roughly, whispers "I... love... you... Bruce..." and dies. Checking in his pockets they find his driver's licence, in the name of Pundabaya. He was, it seems, Robin.

Finally the survivors turn their attention to Arkham Asylum. Nobody has been freed overnight. It looks like a new resident was dropped off overnight, but didn't stay long. The bars of one of the cells have been cut and melted away and richardgaywood lies on the floor, his head and limbs neatly removed by a cauterising blade. Searching his pockets, the survivors find a small cosh, a photo of Frank Sinatra and a copy of "Getting In The Way For Dummies". Doesn't take the world's greatest detective to work out that richardgaywood was the Mafia Roleblocker.

In Arkham: Rodafowa, Mimi and Mr Russ

With 13 players alive and free, 7 votes are needed for a lynch and 10 for a nolynch. The deadline for today is 5:00pm Monday.

As always, if a mod could add the fresh corpses to the Dead Zone, that would be lovely.

hooray we've got one, is the robin death trying to suggest it was in a hurry because batman was initially targetted?

anyway Ive tried to form a lynch for someone got it wrong, jumped on the bandwagon got it wrong, so it hasnt went well so far.

anyway I found craig suspicious yesteday so Im going with him.

[Vote:Craig]

[Vote:Plissken]

He was blatantly bandwagoning yesterday, and his way of doing it stood out as "trying to look innocent" to me.

One down, but Robin is a sore loss. I need to look through the last few days and see who RG looked like he was siding with.

I think Robin was an inevitable loss really. He made it so obvious who he was, especially with complaining about his tight costume! Still, making it obvious at least made it clear that we could avoid lynching him, as our lynching efforts have not yet done us many favours.

I'm going to have a look back at the bandwagons and Gaywood's posts to see what was going on yesterday.

Also: Surely Bobbyaro should not be on the player list?

Oops! Edited first post.

I'm reading that as the Joker's doing. My question is, did the Joker go for Robin or did he go for Batman?

I knew Gaywood was evil!

Also, whoever killed me is going to pay in a way that won't be obvious until it's too late, you fucker.

Cheerio!

I'm still trying to work out why Jeremiah Arkham let Curiosity out on the first night but hasn't bothered since. Come on, you silly sod. It's bloody hard to contribute from in here.

I'm not sure of that myself! Either Jeremiah is playing very cautiously (Mafia can't kill from in there, and Ivy can't Poison), or the Mafia have been roleblocking him. If it's the latter then we'll see some releases tonight, one would think.

Hard to tell who's a bad guy right now. Runcle and Zardoz have been purring on the suspicion-o-meter, but so was Bobby, and he was innocent. For the time being, I'll hold off, but those two can consider themselves FOS'd. As can any of the 'I never post' type people.

Hello everyone!

My being quiet has been in no way tactical. The day before the game started, my workplace upgraded their firewall so I can no longer post from there. This obviously limits my ability to participate, especially should I choose to go on a two night bender at the weekend.

But ANYWAY.

Whilst being 'quiet' has worked in my favour so far- hurrah, I'm still here and able to post- we've strung up a few too many townies for me to be confident that I'll be on the winning side. If only I'd been around maybe I could have talked you out of the loss of all those innocent lives...

Reading the last couple of days worth of posts, and looking beyond the bluster, I can't help asking myself a few questions about Goddess Jasmin. She always seems to vote late, keep her head down in discussions about who to vote for, and hasn't done much to prove her love for the town.

Therefore, in the interest of 'getting involved', and moving discussion of her up the agenda, I say:

Vote:Goddess Jasmin

Note: if I'm to change my mind, someone will need to persuade me before midnight.

Did that need to be in square barckets?

[vote:Goddess Jasmine]

I quite possibly started the run on Bobby, which is disappointing, as it was mostly just a choice out of the existing votees, coupled with a few previously mentioned questions over his posts.

I think it's important that we've had the same people in Arkham for a while with no jailbreak - it implies to me that the mafia currently aren't feeling so low on numbers that they want to free any Maf that may be in there. I would expect that there is unlikely to be more than one mafia in Arkham. The joker could also be in there, of course.

Can't really argue with any of that. Unfortunatly with a lot of the in game talk being about rules I think this game has lost a lot of it's proper game chatter and that makes it difficult to come to any sort of conclusions really. I do vote late as I have no real clue for who to vote for and so mainly jump on the bandwagon just to keep the game moving. I have said this though.

I'm not sure how I prove my love for the town though.

*gives town a great big hug*

Had a trawl through looking for anything incriminating about Dr Gaywood. Can't say I found much.

The only things that stood out for me was that he seemed to be in favour of keeping Mimi and Rodafowa in the Asylum and that he tried to insinuate the Runcle was exhibiting Mafia behaviour and he wasn't.

One thing you did that I found a bit odd was that you queried why people were suspicious of Gaywood, why was this? I don't believe you have done this for anyone else and it is not really in keeping with the rest of your wall flower like posts.

Is this perhaps the only time the finger of suspicion was heading in the Mafia's direction?

I'm going to have to stick with my first gut feeling and [vote:runcle] . Gotham is one place it's hard to find solid information...yes Siree.

And that's suited the mafia well, hasn't it? A good townie would have worked harder to steer the conversation back to producing useful information. [/hypocrite]

And that vote for me is in no way a revenge vote connected to the fact that my original vote was for your good self. Plenty of other people jumped on the bandwagon well after me. I trusted CG's judgement, he's seemed a voice of reason for the town throughout.

With the town in a bandwagon kind of mood, what better way to start another one by having a go at me, eh?

I think it's quite likely that there's less than one, to be honest.

I didn't know why people considered him suspicious as you have said yourself you didn't find anything. Just a genuine question as I say I've found this game tricky. We've had more people discussing rules than being in charactor. Simple as.

As for the 'wall flower' thing, have you missed the fact that I've had problems getting online? Devilman seems to have fixed it now, he thinks something is wrong with my router though.

Surely you mean, do I believe your story explaining your absence? That would also place more importance on the posts that you did have the opportunity to make. However, I don't recall anything of particular substance.

You mean to say that you understood the reason's for all the other suspicions that we flying around all over the place but were confused about the relatively low level suspicion directed at Gaywood?

[vote:Goddess Jasmine]

I think vegetables is clearly bandwagoning himself without much justification.

[vote:vegetables]

Is anybody actually voting for a good reason? I'm not voting because I don't know who to suspect and we always seem to end up getting the wrong person. I'll have a read through tomorrow and update my notes now I can get on the desktop.

I feel I'm voting with good reason.

This crying off to have a think is now becoming a regular thing. Why repeatedly post this information? Let the heat move on to someone else?

It's like Gaywood repeatedly posting the vote count update, maintaining a presence yet saying nothing.


You might like to have a think about the answer to this.

Translation: "Speak to my mafia buddies and get them to bandwagon someone else."

I've always done it, check my posts in the dead zone from the last game if you like, I expained in there why I did that when I was the govener. Let the heat move on to someone else? How does that work when if you don't post much you get suspected more?

I've told you I'd agree with that and explained why, if you choose not to believe it there's not much I can do about it with out breaking the rules so tough.

I don't need to think about it, he happened to be the one that everyone was going for when I logged in at that time. I asked why. It's not rocket science - read back and check the times.

I'm going to bed now - assuming that's allowed. If there's anything else you think I might like to think about - I'll just have to get back to you in the morning. It'll be after 10.30am, sorry if that's inconvienient, I have some work to do away form the house and will be driving. No proof - sorry.

After the bobbyaro lynch which my vote was purely based on I thought was a unrecoverable lynch and also because of his suspicion against me. Im actually starting to think any people on my side are possible lynchs now, I really am clueless as fuck in this game now.

I still think craig was odd yesterday in is voting. grim... is still quiet, goddess jasmine is also suspicious in her quietness, all I can say anyone voting for me its a waste of a vote, I really am innocent and you really should try and forget about the second day because it was just bad suspicions on my part, and in equal parts dudley was suspicious of em and he was equally innocent. This is why Im unsure about the people that are backing me up now, vegetables and kevr in particular but maybe they actually were thinking what I was thinking Im not sure.

zardoz seems suspicious aswell, his first comment in the game was that he was going to be suspicious of the people saying they were busy because of real life things and then he has been quiet himself in my opinion. Also after the lace incident, I was adamant in keeping my vote in my thought he should have been mod-killed, myoptika also thought this way and he was innocent so Im just saying that to justify my own innocence in that part but also why my next suspicion may be tainted. Zardoz voted for lace after the incident, just to get things moving along he said, possibly for the mafia to get a lynch on the day Im thinking, he later agreed with grim saying we should keep it to in game data yet still kept his vote, to me the screenshot had become game data, so why did he not unvote?

Hmm, I'm waivering now. GJ's words have a ring of desperate, irritable but innocent plausibility about them. But I'm still to see a more convincing case for voting for anyone else.

As long as you don't all spread vote this time. Pick someone and go with it. Not necessarily Jasmine. I'm not sure about her. Just don't let this day and night drag on so much this time please.

with how safe youve played all this game im glad your in the asylum.

It may not be rocket science but how exactly am I supposed to check this?

Aside from the fact that login times are not allowed to be checked, you have obviously logged in subsequently so the last login time would not relate to this.

Unless you mean to check when you started posting that day but that doesn't necessarily relate to how long you had been present.

Convenient how you have trouble logging in but one of the few times that you do is when the only person we know for sure is Mafia is under suspicion. Especially when he was only under suspicion for a relatively short time.

Not everyone shares your feelings, I'm sure.

I doubt theres many believers your a goodie. quote this is you think hes ok.

I think I'm OK. Cheers.

ha classic comments of a crazy, again Im glad your in the loony bin.

I think I'm in the best position to judge who the crazy ones are.

Voting for someone when there are no votes on them isn't bandwagoning; that's not what the term means at all. Bandwagoning is when a person votes for someone in danger of being lynched for little to no reason. There was lots of that going on yesterday, but Plisskin's stood out as being the most suspicious as mafia have a tendency to justify things that they think will make them look scummy more than town. I don't really want to change how I vote just because he's suspicious of me.

I'm wary of any vote that has KevR and TsuMuch in it, as they've tickled my suspicion hairs.

[vote:runcle] because he also has, and I don't want to add yet another candidate into the mix.

Sorry for being quiet during this game so far, let me address these matters.

My first post was just to get going and a slight dig at everyone saying they won't be around much.

As for lacesensorgate, my absences from BETEO makes my voting and decisions look erratic.

Finally, because I know I'm innocent and you're having a pop at me with some half baked opinions.

[vote: Runcle]

It annoys me that I am suspicious of everything Craster says, and yet can't help agreeing with him.

Sewers?
