While I am more inclined to believe cowgirl’s claim than Auguecheek’s, the fact that it wasn’t used to protected pimaspinner is horrible.
I also can’t believe Malacandra was lynched and not one of the other candidates. It looks like some quick work by the mafia. Odd that everyone that goes up against Queuing dies, or at least is forced to claim, in the same day.
It was an interesting strategy of NAF’s naming a whole bunch of jobs but no guarantees that they’re actually in the game.
It’s funny they let Aguecheek slide without him answering where his breadcrumbs were.
I just went to have a look at the thread (I haven’t even opened it in at least a week or two.

I browsed back a few pages to see if I could get a handle on what been happening. Forget it. I can’t help thinking about Stephen King’s Hearts in Atlantis. I’m really, really, really glad I’m not in that anymore. What a tremendous liability! The last couple of days I was playing my productivity at the office plummeted, and it was still relatively early in the game.
I’ve already asked a couple of you already, but if a passing dead mafia player wouldn’t mind IMing me I’m still mightily curious about who was mafia.
Again, I swear I won’t sing. 
Not only that, but he didn’t die last night. That to me makes him almost 100% definitely scum. If he really isn’t mafia, and has a chance of being a power role, the mafia has to kill him. Thus, I think the mafia killed Menocchio because he was practically a confirmed townie and still had a chance to be a power role. The fact that the town isn’t even giving Aguecheek a more serious look over immediately has me really concerned that the game is basically over. Obviously, he didn’t want to investigate cowgirl, because he couldn’t say for sure whether she was or was not the GA, so it would’ve hurt his claim if he got it wrong.
It looks like the SK finally decided to switch sides. ArizonaTeach did look a little scummy, but certainly not as much as someone like PygmyRugger… how the hell is he still alive at this point?
The town still has a chance to rally and take this thing back, but if I were to put money on it right now, I would say that I think the SK is going to win this thing. The mafia made a bad play last night, and I think that the town is looking at the wrong things. If they were thinking like you BM, I think they could have this thing wrapped up, but they aren’t. So for now my money is on the SK.
I keep meaning to get into one of these.
I would encourage anyone who wants to play regularly, or just needs ideas for some games and roles to come to www.twoplustwo.com to the “Puzzles and Other Games” forum. We are not looking to supplant the games here by any means, but it also isn’t going to be possible to run nearly as many games here as we do in the POG forum. We welcome new comers at any time. Two Plus Two is a poker forum, but that naturally leads to people who like all sorts of games. Feel free to send me an AIM if you have any questions at wdcbooks33.
One of the more interesting variants is our bread and butter game, known as turbo werewolf. The game is played with 25 minute days and 5-10 minute nights. Other than that it is just like any other game. The nice thing is that it only takes a couple of hours from start to finish and has a completely different dynamic from a longer game.
Turbo werewolf sounds neat. I will have to check that out some weekend.
Mafia is also played via AIM is some places, with a nice fast pace.
There’s also a forum-based speed variant, 3 man mafia. One scum, two town. No nights. Vote wrong and die. There’s surprisingly abundant strategy.
Moving thread from IMHO to MPSIMS.
Yikes - we’ve been kicked out of IMHO! Did they complain about us playing the music too loud??
Hey! This game is a work of art. It’s true horror. We should have gone to Cafe Society.
Oh good, now I don’t have to switch back and forth between forums.
Why is it a secret? Am I missing something? I’ve been saying for a little while that I thought **Lakai ** was the godfather; I assume that’s why I was taken out.
In case anyone from the living is reading this thread, I don’t want to give more information than I provided in the game. Right after I role claimed, it was mentioned not to say explicitly if I got a pro-town role, but to just say town. Makes sense…I don’t want to say someone is something on the off chance they really are. The beat cop role sucks in a lot of ways. I got really lucky with my FCOD investigations. I don’t really know why you were taken out. Some people had suspicions of you as scum, so maybe the SK offed you?
Pie? I don’t mind if I do. Well, that was lengthy and ultimately frustrating for me. Far too much he-said-she-said for me to keep up with, and if Queuing turns up scum I won’t be remotely surprised. But that’ll teach me to spend a couple of days away from a computer (fraggin’ spring breaks, all Mrs M’s idea).
As I was completely lost I’ll be small loss to the town, but things aren’t looking at all good.
Oh, thank god that’s over. That was…insane.
'Lo? This thing on?
Welcome Aguecheek!
um…I think that the game got so big that everyone stopped following it. But feel free to post your thoughts and ideas here for your fellow game players to read when the game ends.
Jeez, I almost stopped following it for a while there.
Thanks for the invite though. I’m gonna wait to get home to post some thoughts.
In case anyone is wondering, I changed my username. pimaspinner is now Hockey Monkey (Trumpets blare: da da daaaaa!)
Ha! Score one for the town. This makes it a matter of slightly less urgency all round that the SK be found, of course, and so ironically could be *good * for the SK. Another town-on-town lynching would have brought a scum win almost within sight and so made it imperative to off the SK and allow the mafia to go on and win.
Well played anyway Aguecheek, and I speak as one of the townies rubbed out in a last-minute panic by my own side - that seems to have been a recurrent pattern this game.
