Sorry Silver Jan, but in this game everyone can do stuff, even if they don’t have a regular power role. Oh. You promise to go find a good vote, then you never turn up again until five minutes before deadline, voting for someone just to save yourself. Do I have to guess who the triple votes will be on? ---

I suppose so. I dont know what the bridge thing is about, but i do believe that last vote of yours, not to mention the comment three hours earlier that you would be looking for a vote, were not town moves.on day two of de endee, septimus cast a last minute saving vote on his own behalf, incidentally lynching a town silver jan in the process. Itwas transparentlya scum move and yours is hitting the exact same notes. As for myself i feel like a damn idiot. ---

Okay, what the fuck, people? My wireless decided to go out at about 4PM ET, naturally, and finally Verizon deigns to get it working again a minute ago, and now I come back to find we’ve got people quitting and what the holy hell is going on?! ---

I’ve re-read the Jan and NP’s posts a few dozen times and I can only come the conclusion that Jan is not herself for whatever reason. NP: don’t worry about it, you clearly didn’t do or say anything to her in the thread that warranted the replies you received. ---

I think \*\* Jan’s \*\* stress button activated. and with her time zone it could be rather late. THAT bit can be sorted in the Morning I thought Normal was typing at MHaye but jan may have read it wrong ( she does that from time to time) ---

Jan and Normal (especially Jan) could not be more obvious townies, in my estimation. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mafia-game-the-realm-of-phere/617480.md?page=127) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mafia-game-the-realm-of-phere/617480.md?page=129)
