Well, now that it’s out… The reason something seemed up, is Meeko and Special Ed are working together obviously. (I won’t confirm if they’re mason types or not.) It’s why when you guys were discussing something was up, I said “if only you were spoiled”. Meeko called out his own partner on a seeming contradiction between him and Paul when Meeko new damn well what was going on. Meeko’s play made no sense. ---

> [@Telcontar](#): > > Personally I was ready to commit suicide after seeing the insane ranting over execute v ostracizing; the game was shaping up to be seriously not fun. I felt the same, which is why I stopped struggling when the tide turned against me on Day 1. My first few posts in the game included some humor. I didn’t yet know that every word would be jumped all over for secret messages, Scum tells, and anti-Town/pro-Town bent. **Tel** , I think you were the only poster to recognize that I was clearly kidding around. For that you have my (posthumous) thanks. ---

> [@Spurious\_George](#): > > What does “magic-bagged” mean? I’m not quite sure why it’s Magic Bag. I think Magic Hat would make more sense. As in magicians pulling weird things out of them. Essentially, the player knows something and is keeping it hidden from the game at large, but has told the game at large that they know this thing. Occasionally, it can be a good strategic play. Usually, it’s annoying and does nothing but distract. When the player finally reveals what they know, they open up the magic bag and typically something is in it. ---

> [@pedescribe](#): > > So…you wouldn’t want to sub in? Heh… nope! I’ll pass on this one. besides, both games I’ve played I’ve been subbed in. I think the next game I want to be fully committed from the start. And I hate magic bags. ---

If a player who has been ensinned (say Angel) were to embrace the seed of sin and join the Sinners, do they get access to the Sinner board? Because it would be easy to do that, get all their names, and then have Paul purify her. At least the town would have all the Sinners easy to lynch for the next (however many) Days. ---

> [@Oredigger77](#): > > 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. So, I was thinking about this earlier today and realized that we’d misread ed’s post. Ed was never claiming that mahaloth was town, just that meeko was (ambiguous “he”). In light of this, I find mahaloth highly suspicious. He didn’t stand out one way or the other in the split, but he’s feeling rather scummy this game for reasons that meeko of all people noticed. ---

Well… I guess giving town info as I receive it is a bad way to play a not vital investigative type role 😛 I was really hoping the doc would protect me since I was the obvious NK choice. I mean how big of a target would I have to have painted on my forehead? If there is still a doc, they suck bad. It was freakin obvious I was gonna get ganked. Whatever… next time I get an interesting role I’ll just use it to ensin everyone and they’ll never know what the fuck was going on. ---

I see where you’re coming from. That does makes Meeko and special ed look less suspicious. It sure was an interesting way to out their relationship considering it was a throw away a post about voting for someone else. Just for everyone else clarification I’ll put the exchange below. > [@The Crimson Glyph (Werewolf/Mafia/Psychopath)](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-crimson-glyph-werewolf-mafia-psychopath/494271/823): > > \*\*Meeko \*\*is playing Haggle. > \*\*Mahaloth \*\*is playing lick meeko’s balls because isn’t meeko so great? And the answer is, no. He’s playing a very awfuly terrible game of Mafia. If I didn’t \*KNOW \*he was Town, I’d be voting for him and I’d have quite an extensive case. (And yes, WiFoM the hell out of that, Scum and Sinners. And shut up Town. I’ve reasons for not saying more) ---

The translating to Chinese/back translation trick is working quite well; I approve :). I also feel a desire to kill a certain set players, and I’m only suspicious of half of that set. This is why i like playing the bad guy.
