That's moronic. It's Thursday. I have one final left instead the numerous ones I've been preparing for all week. Of course I have more time now.

But you have nothing to lose, at least just say what you were thinking.

[SuperPacker]

Ugh. I was just going through what would've happened if we had been wrong about vikes and then went through what would've happened if we were wrong about deep. The end result was the same.

[OSUGiants17]

Well, it's 3/3 and it appears we can't go wrong either way

unvote Deep

vote vikes

lock up this thread and get in your night actions

[Shane P. Hallam]

The town is left to yell at each other and argue with each other, but the decision is ultimately made to kill vikes. As he cowers in fear, the town rips him to pieces.

Vikes_28 (Snuff posing as bored_of_education: Mafia Back-up) has been killed

24 hours for night actions! Best take you less!

[Shane P. Hallam]

The town awakens and senses they are close to victory. But, their fallen comrade, HinesWardJr, had his eyes blown out of his head and his ears were halfway across the room. Luckily that pubestache was still in tact.

Brothgar (HinesWardJr: Investigator Back-up) has been killed

With 5 people left, 3 votes are needed for a majority

[OSUGiants17]

vote Deep

let's end this please

[OSUGiants17]

TBW did you find anything?

[DeepThreat]

At this point, I think SP is the serial killer. No one else makes sense to me.

I was checking out Broth to see if he was in fact his claim. Let me reflect before I decide on my vote.

Framer is dead and he came back good in broth's investigation and we now know that broth really was an investigator. How does it make sense that he is the SK?

[Shane P. Hallam]

With 5 people left, 3 votes are needed for a majority

Deep (2) - OSU, SP

SuperPacker (1) - Deep

[SuperPacker]

Vote: DeepThreat

[OSUGiants17]

It can only be Deep or Snicho at this point and our main suspicion is Deep, take him out and win or if we are wrong take out Snicho tomorrow and win

TBW do the right thing and vote Deep and end this

[SuperPacker]

How could it be Snicho?

[TheBoyWonder22]

Yeah, if it's not Deep we're screwed, I'll go with yesterday's gut. In the words of Deep, no one else makes sense. I feel like he just gave up.

Vote: DeepThreat

The town awakens and senses they are close to victory. But, their fallen comrade, HinesWardJr, had his eyes blown out of his head and his ears were halfway across the room. Luckily that pubestache was still in tact.

The town knew what they had to do. They surrounded the one they knew to be evil. As they marched toward him, he unleashed his secret power

“One of my friends owns a liquour store and is a huge Tampa Bay Bucs fan. anyways, they arent on TV around here for the most part, and he has to work on Sundays until the store closes at 5. He wants to get NFL sunday ticket in there, like he has at home, to watch the Bucs. But they charge $2000 a year for Sunday ticket on direct TV for any business because they think they will profit off of it. Its ridiculous. I mean I can see if its a bar or restaurant something cause people might go there to watch the game, but for a plain old liqiour store its ******** since they cant profit off of it, it should cost as much as for a regular person.”

As the town inches closer they can feel their eyes begin to grow larger and their ears being popping tremendously

“Ben Franklin can tell the story better then me: “First, the Rattle-Snake is found in no other quarter of the world besides America. The rattlesnake also has sharp eyes, and "may therefore be esteemed an emblem of vigilance. She never begins an attack, nor, when once engaged, ever surrenders: She is therefore an emblem of magnanimity and true courage. ... she never attacks 'till she has generously given notice, even to her enemy, and cautioned him against the danger of treading on her. I confess I was wholly at a loss what to make of the rattles, 'till I went back and counted them and found them just thirteen, exactly the number of the Colonies united in America; Tis curious and amazing to observe how distinct and independent of each other the rattles of this animal are, and yet how firmly they are united together, so as never to be separated but by breaking them to pieces. One of those rattles singly, is incapable of producing sound, but the ringing of thirteen together, is sufficient to alarm the boldest man living." I think that is much better then the Eagle to be honest with you. The snake story is inspirational. And they basically just picked the Bald Eagle because it lives here....”

The feeling was getting worse and worse.

"I took my last final at college today. I was about a half hour from home, and I was thirsty. So I went to the Burger King drive through. The key to the story is that I am wearing a hat and sunglasses so remember that.

I go up to the machine, and the women is talking spanish. So I am like "this is america, I speak english". So then the women is like "welcome to burger king can I take your order?". I say that I just want a medium Root beer. and this women gets it wrong about 4 times thinking that I want a meal... So eventually, I was like I just cant understand what your saying. So I then drive up to the window where your supposed to pay (I was the only car there, surprisingly) and figure I can just tell her in person what I want cause its just a drink.

At this point, I look in and see that the women working there is my co-worker at the supermarket i work in.... So I am kind of hoping she doesnt notice me. Because I was very rude over the intercom. But she of course, says "artvandelay is that you?" so I have no idea why, but I said no. then she questions me further "you dont work at __________?" and I was like no... then she says "ok.... well you look exactly like my co-worker."


And I actually talked to this women a good deal over the last couple months. So I am pretty damn sure she knows its me.


Idk why i did that at all. Luckily she wasnt working today. But its gonna be pretty embarrassing tommorow at work.

Just as it appeared he would kill them all by making their heads explode, the town pounced and tore him apart, finding that THEY had finally saved the forum

DeepThreat (GiantRutgersFan posing as Diabsoule) has been killed


THE TOWN WINS!

Night Actions:

Notes from the game:

Some explanations: I randomized EVERYTHING. Characters were randomized to people then roles were randomized to those characters. There was ZERO impact of who someone’s character was to their role, if they were good and bad, etc.

2. Trivia – I don’t think anyone ever got any of the trivia’s 100% correct. Seemed people rushed through it or gave up if they were too late. Even Todd getting a cheat for the trivia didn’t even attempt it and he probably could have taken the kill easily. Patience breeds success!

3. Town missteps – It is always interesting to view this knowing everyone’s roles. Some things seem clear that I understand may not be. Watching vidae change his votes multiple days almost every hour looked like a dead giveaway, but he kept churning and got people on his side. Town winning trivia generally went well (killing jballa and Scotty,) but that dreaded Day 2 was awful. All it took was one selfless person of the 24 to change their vote and no one did. Had it not been for that, I think the town wins pretty easily.

4. Mafia missteps – Just some poor decisions on who to kill at times. Big one was Night 2, they had an opportunity to kill Todd who appeared to have an ability. Could have drastically shifted the game. I’d also say the mafia needed to get more involved with the Sports Challenges. An extra kill even once early in the game could have shifted the tides over.

5. Serial Killer missteps – Deep played a good game and I’m surprised he lasted as long as he did. I think killing Scotty (not sure if Deep knew he was Mafia or not,) hurt him. Probably needed to keep Mafia around at their current strength one more night. He kept a low profile enough to stay out of the spotlight and it worked though.

6. Bad Luck/Some Role Explanations - TBW especially ran into bad luck. He was a 50% thief. If his thieving worked, 50% of the time it would reveal actual role, 50% of the time it would reveal actual character. Unfortunately his thieving didn’t work when he actually hit mafia (scotty/vidae,) so I named a random item in my room instead. I enjoyed CMD’s 1x Cheat ability with the Sports Challenges. I didn’t anticipate it would lead to some accusations against him (though I kind of feel like that was mafia led and they knew so). R4L was a Random Investigator. I felt having these roles that were a bit more random in nature balanced out all the back-ups and 1x shots I gave the town. That combined with giving the Mafia a possible recruit (which I give scotty props for hitting Night 1,) seemed to balance the game well.


As a whole, I didn’t think anyone played too poorly. The town generally had a scent on the baddies though didn’t always follow through on night actions and the mafia anticipated town night actions well to make their kills. I thought it was a fun game with a few twists though I apologize for those who weren’t quite into it.

Some of the players who I felt had good games as a whole:
1. jrdrylie (stayed under the radar as Doctor, never had to role reveal. Was HUGE)
2. Rufus (he figured out the mafia pretty quickly, played a great game for only being a townie, didn’t give up like many do)
3. Vidae (seemed to have a counter to anything and knocke suspicion off of himself numerous times)
4. Jvig43 (Seemed to have some clear ideas about Mafia members as well)
5. DeepThreat (Gotta give him props for laying low and keeping a town/mafia balance)

[Wootylicous]

The laying low strategy is ******.

[fenikz]

Question, am I the best mafia player? Literally die night 1 or 2 90% of the time as part of the town

[Shane P. Hallam]

But yeah, so many people played well. OSU, SP, Woot, etc. Tough to list everyone's name! It was a good game!

No fenikz, Gonzo obviously is.
