That combined with good old fashioned lynch all liars, leads me to vote.

so angel might be on her way back here anyway :).

This makes me suspicious of nanook though. she’s been lurking and she comes up for air only to cast the safest possible vote.

Yeah, I was wondering why you weren’t defending yourself after the substitution. coming back from being away to find yourself kicked out of town must suck.

Why they killed you I don’t know; the odds were so vastly in favor of you being town (both times). Mahaloth, Nanock, and Freudian/ are looking sketchy to me. Grr, wish I’d lived longer; would have been useful to have a doctor (or another doctor, meeko claimed that someone protected him last night).

I’m still confused why the town kept saying something about “maybe there’s a better doctor type role than paul in the town” after he was killed. Didn’t they notice you were killed off already **Telcontar**?

I remain totally confused about what anybody is doing in this game. No one’s thinking very clearly, I don’t think (thanks to Meeko’s continuing to dominate the thread?).

😛 Well, the event was rather more salient to me than them.

Well, I think that the post histories they are looking at now are traditional scum hunting. Meeko basically cost the town 2 days with his BS, but at long last things are moving. I’m really surprised that the 10+ town players in the game let things get so off track.

My suspicion is that they were (are) trying to be nice to the new guy. **Meeko** should have been reigned in on day 1 (not just Day 1).

In case anyone is wondering, Meeko is posting in ROT 13

Personally I think he should have translated it into latin first 🙂

And what a waste of time it was too.

What on Earth does meeko think he’s doing?

Most predictable killing ever. Well, if I was still in the game the mafia would have had a frustrating two nights. I wonder if we have a redirect player, they could be having a blast.

I think Meeko honestly believes that what he is doing is helpful. He’s wrong, of course, and I can’t quite follow his logic. If I were still playing I’d add him to my block list and hope that he never said anything important.

So, Ed, who do you think the mafia might be? My thoughts are Mahaloth, Nanock, and Freudian/peeker

Yeah, but a great move for the Blackhearts, who have now guaranteed that Meeko will continue to disrupt town discussions for the rest of the game.

I always think Nanook is scummy, but I agree. Freudcpa is certainly being anti-town and may well be scum. Why Mahaloth?

I’ve honestly forgotten who all is in the game.

I think Chronos is almost certainly town.

Looks like we were wrong about Nanook. oops!

Mahaloth 1.)seemed to be feeding the meeko hysteria early in the game, 2.) started the spurious george bandwagon and jumped off the moment it got steam, 3.) went after paul and angel despite there being little reason (i really don’t get voting for paul, and angel only made a little sense), and 4.) hasn’t made much of a contribution (see special ed’s summary around ~1403). Also he’s an experienced player, so I’m not especially likely to cut him slack.

My only question about peeker is whether he is scum or just insane. Given that he replaced a worrisome player, i’m inclined to “scum” but it’s hard to say.

Gah! I wanted to sub in… I am willing to sub… I’m following along… please sub me in next time…

Can’t believe I missed the opportunity to set a new record by being killed 3 times in the same game!

Yeesh. As I said, Nanook always seems scummy so I’m not surprised.

I see what you mean about Mahaloth but I’m not sure. Her(?) playstyle reminds me of her townie performance in the Split, but she could easily play that way no matter what.

I’m sure one of the scum is lurking the hell out.

Idle died 4 times in Mickey Mouse on FB. Lynched Day 1, Vig’d Day 2, Suicide Night2, and lynched Day 4 or 5

I’d go with Mahaloth, Allwalker, and maybe peeker or nanook, joey…
