So Meeko keeps talking about information that he’s trying to relate but can’t.  
Possibilities:  
1.) A pro-town power role that has a restriction on the information it can relay (reminds me of when i put a viglantee cop in a game that could ONLY lie).  
2.) A fairly psycho player, alignment unclear, who is playing with an anti town style.

Thoughts?

Execution has been removed as an option? What? When? Why?

Yeah, I can’t understand a thing Meeko is saying. I’m attracted to the idea that he is deliberately sowing confusion.

Also the unvote/revote thing stinks to high heaven. Pity paul can’t kill him 😛

Well, i think that paul got a complicated role and used the wrong one of his powers. Also he was openly cagey, which never goes over well. I’ve no idea why this is turning into license to kill him though. If I were still playing I would just make it very clear to him that he was not to track without very good reason (assuming he even survives the night).

Note that he’s not immune from the seed of sin. If I were the sinners I would love to infect him (and if i were paul i’d accept). He’d almost be broken as a sinner aligned player. To my mind, this is the reason why killing him might make sense. No one is making this argument, though.

Yeah, I’m starting to get Paul a bit better, but I think he playd it wrong. He should never have magic-bagged it like this.

I don’t like how this town seems to be killing Paul because he’s not making sense, but has a method to the madness, but Meeko doesn’t seem to be gathering any suspicion for his wackness.

I also don’t like that no one is looking at anyone else. Freudian Slit is pinging me hard, though as she points out she did in the Split, too, when she was town. But this time it seems even more suspicious.

I have an idea for a mafia game. I call it “ADHD Mafia”.

It will be much like normal mafia, except for there will be two unkillable/unlynchable 3rd party players, who’s goal is to cause the most number of players to go insane…in real life. Town will win if all scum go insane or are dead. Scum will win if all town are insane or dead. The 3rd party players play their own game and the winner between them is whoever drives the most players crazy.

And who shall play the third parties? Meeko and peekercpa, of course.

It shall be EPIC!

If I were scum in this game, Meeko’s crazy-ass filibuster would be the perfect cover for doing a lot of lurking and bandwagonning.

Meeko is semi lucid… but sometimes he gets off on a tangent… and I have no clue what the hell he is talking about… God forbid we should ever play in a game with Peeker, Seeker, and Meeko all together… It must have something to do with the double E’s

Heh, heh.

I find this post a most amusing juxtaposition given that it came less than 90 minutes after mine above.

Yeah

Special ed’s recent post is one of the smartest all game:  
[http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=11116317&postcount=823](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=11116317&postcount=823)

He’s also the one that paul is saying is innocent, so I’d be inclined to buy into his lynch choice.

Can we ban all haggle players from playing mafia? please? 😛

It looks like Special ed just made a huge slip but I don’t think it will get noticed. He started off saying that Mahaloth was confirmed town to him and Meeko was playing haggle and then in his next post it’s all about how Meeko is town.

There hasn’t been enough time for two investigation so he’s lying he’d be the next on I string up.

Not all haggle players are insane. Meeko is but it’s the kind that is fun to watch. What we need are more Mafia guys in our haggle game.

I hadn’t seen that one. Wow, that’s a tad problematic, isn’t it? Though paul did say that he followed special ed last night and

Which is actually a bit confusing from the standpoint of ed investigating too. Something funny is going on here. Could both be blackguards? Might Ed just have had a massive brainfart and meant to say Mahaloth?

Its possible and I’m sure that’s how he’ll defend it in the game but seriously he typed Meeko like 5 times in the post about how innocent he was.

Taunting is not appreciated. 😃

But I’m right aren’t I? Damn, if I couldn’t only convince people to listen to me and not lynch me.

Well, half of ed’s problem is now exposed. If the other half comes out he’ll have an option of either entirely coming out or dying. If I were him and scum i’d be composing a mighty special “PM from ped” just in case.

I really wonder what’s up with paul. the effect of ed’s action was to protect him, which a sinner really wouldn’t be trying to do (a blackguard would, in my opinion, as they also fear the sinners). He’s also the one i “protected” last night, but that should have resolved simultaneously with the night kill (thus shouldn’t have contributed to my death).

Just… WTF is going on over there? Half the players seem to be completely MIA throughout all this posting, there’s Masons/Busybodies… maybe, and **paul** made a role claim that may or may not be true, and exonerated **special ed** , who may or may not be town… and just… gah!
