Be Excellent To Each Other

Can the next gamesmaster make a special role for me called just that? I'd have no special powers except I'd only ever be able to take my foot out of my mouth when it was the other's turn...

We should send him to Coventry - which is a long way from awesome town, as we all know. Then he'd be "far King lame".

Props to Jay Beer for that awesome pun.

Hey, where'd you go?
<Looks around worriedly>

<tips hat>

Nicely played.

I'm feeling a bit more relaxed now. Even though I've got seven votes I feel a bit more confident that people think I'm telling the truth. I just hope we don't get a bandwagonning just to get a lynch...

Are we sure that CG didn't accidentally tell Myoptika that he was the Escaped Inmate?

Nuff said.

I can't see that at work, but I bet it's teh funneh.

Heh, it's you're own sig image.

Malc

I thought it might be, as it's the same shape. I presume it's a visual gag concerning what looks like a mental on the left-hand side.

Either that or because I've been playing NASCAR.

Taking your word for it for a minute..

I can't decide if the Mafia are all already voting for you in the hope that others will join in "just to get a lynch" (which works, let's face it), or if they're sitting it out and not voting at all (as I think they've done before, early on like).

In which case they would have enough votes to bury you at this point - they have 5 guys I think? And you only need 4 more. But it might be pretty obvious as a block vote so they'd have to spread it out over time..

man this is paranoia inducing :?

Well dude, you've been back a few times and not said nuthin, so I'm pointing my finger:
[vote:runcle]

Boo!

ha snap, anyway I didnt think anything else was to be said when Im clearly not talking about my role like your not.

Well I'm a townie right here. Said it a few times.

Sheepeh's been conspicuous by his absence, also.

I don't know about the mafia thing. I think they're sat back having a giggle at the town stringing up one of their own again. I might be wrong.

I hope CG doesn't mind me doing this in his absence, as it's been a while since we've had one:

With 20 players alive, 11 votes are required for a lynch.

I don't have a clue who to vote for now, so for the moment I'm going to [vote:unvote].

I know who I want to vote for, but it is someone that nobody else has voted for, and I can't really say why I suspect this person other than gut feeling over this person's behaviour, which does not count for much as yet, but I find this person more suspicious than Myoptika, though I think Myoptika is doing something, I am just not sure what, maybe it is just high spirits, maybe he is just trying to blind us with activity, I do not know.

I do not know if I should say who I suspect as I am watching them with interest and don't really want them to know, and I don't know if I can make a strong enough case yet.

I'd say vote where you want to, Mimi - at the very least it's likely to bring that person under everyone's suspicion, which might help with getting some more information about their loyalties.

Has anyone seen Sinister Agent online today? He's very into the game so I doubt he'd be sitting back unless he either isn't around or has a reason to lie low..

I MIND. HANDS OFF THE GAME, PLAYER.

Well when I logged in to see 10 pages I thought there'd be loads of info for me to go on, instead I'm more confused than ever!

And Mr Russ - stop making my eyes bleed!

He's probably just working - time flies when you're not having fun, and all that. Certainly I missed one day (a quick day, admittedly) by coming in to work late; it's all too easy to miss out on chat by being off the internet for a bit which can seem suss when we're all here but doesn't actually point to any naughtiness. Unless the whole of the mafia have held fire on saying anything and are just talking about us behind our backs.

*Hides from God*

Midday Update:

While still wondering what the heck happened to their awesome town, the townies discover some bizarre patterns carved in their local fields. What on earth has been going on?

ALEINS!!!
Hell, that's all we need

Quick, where's the water? That'll stop 'em!

Just sneeze at them. Works every time.

That picture looks like a very happy caterpillar

Heh, that's pretty cool.

Who was out at their farm earlier?

Malc

Mr Russ was talking in farmer earlier, what if there aliens are controlling him?

Is the cult, like, alien-worshipping? Plus, half the population just vanished, like they were abducted right up into a UFO or something..
_{this is a goddamn bug hunt man}

That's it man, game over man, game over! What the fuck are we gonna do now? What are we gonna do!?

Okay.

Now I'm paranoid AND confused.

I'm a bit scared here. Someone cuddle me.

When the QUAGAAARS get you, you'll be getting more than a cuddle

You secure that shit, Craster!

Embarassingly, thanks to a mis-spent adolescence playing the board game I can name every one of the marines from Aliens.

Alien Invasion?
Cult is really aliens looking to enslave humanity?
New Mafia recruitment program?
Farmer Russ has been abducted?
Happy caterpillar attack?
Comical bored because there's been no lynching yet?

It is definitely one of those.

I've just been for a walk around the village and everyone is just standing, or shuffling around, shaking their heads and mumbling. It's VERY strange. I think a few DO have things to hide, and at least 3 today that I am suspicious of.

Them's my hops! How on earth am I supposed to supply the village with barrels of finest Rusty Croutons for the fete!
*grumbles*
Bloody Aliens... from bloody Poland, I bet.

Crikey, I've just been to the town surgery and the Doctor isn't there. I wonder where he's hiding? I need my gout looking at.

Thankfully there hasn't been an early lynching as I'm working nights for the next 3 shifts.

[vote:myoptika]

I think to have any chance of winning, town needs to be decisive from day one to prevent either the Mafia of Cult from gaining too strong a foothold, so to suggest not lynching on the first day and biding our time seems a bit odd.

Also, as has already been pointed out, naming yourself as a Vanilla Townie makes you a prime target for the Cult Leader unless you are in a role that can't be converted (or wish to be converted).

If you are in a role that can't be converted, this statistically most likely makes you Mafia.

Hi guys,

I don't feel confident enough to vote for anyone in particular at the moment, but the first 'day' does not end until Wednesday, so I am not going to rush it as there is plenty of time. I'll have another think about it for the time being and will try to come to some conclusion tomorrow if there is any decent 'evidence'.

I've not heard too much talk about the Suicide Bomber.

I think it's in the Towns interest for them to deploy sooner rather than later in case they are killed/converted and the ability is lost.

If Town can get two decisive kills in the first day, it might convince the Fence Sitter to go Town.
