I don’t disagree with that analysis.

More suspect than anyone or more suspect than \* you \* [grin]  
I’ll try to track down the comments that bothered me (Inner has been a busy typer and there is a lot to go through) something sniggles me I’ll try to find it

attempting to do so brought to mind a great way to prevent one from making a case on you -if they have to slog through all the posts you’ve made in all the different threads

- just and observation here not a smudge on prolific posters in other threads \*

God, five hours from EOD. Do you think **pizza** will be around and we won’t be waiting _too_ long for the final reveal?

Here’s hoping he wrote it out either way and so it’s just a matter of inserting different names, or whatever. Maybe that’s not possible in a game this complex, though.

As an aside… I also wonder if the item vote matters at this point?

Oh goodness, don’t search that way!! Easy way to just confine your search to this thread:

1. Go back to the main Game Room page.
2. Look for the Mafia thread
3. Look in the right-hand side column for “Replies.” See how it’s a link? Click on that number.
4. You’ll get a popup window with the names of everyone who’s posted in this thread, with the number of their posts to the right. Again, this is a link. Click on that number link and you’ll get all their in-thread posts.

Magic! And OMG so much easier than the other way. 🙂

Protecting you should not hold much water ( I had to do something nice for someone-I chose you)

fully disclosing my actions  
in public  
before it was popular

should carry a pail full though

LightFoot, look on the front page of the Game Room. See the number to the right of “latest post?”. Should be 3284 or so? Click that, and then click on Inner Stickler in the pop up window. Viola! Just his posts, in just this thread.

That should make things easier for you.

At least you didn’t call me **chioe.**

I can’t believe how fast my mailbox is filling with thread notification reminders. It’ll get worse before it gets better, methinks.

One last try. 🆒

Has anyone else heard of a “Shadow Mage”? She can’t be an ordinary Mage with Element of Shadow, because ordinary Mages have no Night actions.

**Unvote; Vote: Silver Jan**

Sorry if my honest claim led Town astray. I thought “Honesty is the best policy” but may have thought wrongly. :dubious:

I am called a Shadow Mage and Shadow is my element. It’s a restricted class and if I had changed to something else I could never have gone back to a Shadow Mage, that’s the reason I liked the role so much.

I think Shadow Mage is her class, not a Mage with a shadow element. I don’t think she see claimed ordinary Mage.

No one else can become a Shadow Mage unless the are born to it, it is a lif long journey. I have both Day and Night actions.

Septimus, you’re all over the place. **Who do you most suspect as scum?**

LightFoot, I’m still not convinced you’re voting for your number 1 suspect. You’re artificially picking between the two non-voters, not the whole group. \*\* Who do you most suspect?\*\*

> Well, I don’t have any idea where the 3 votes are going. Unless you think ATPG was letting realitytrip send in vote requests without posting and then decided to sub him out just to be a dick.

I don’t remember the timing with RT and when they stopped posting in game but they were here for a while. Into Night 2 I believe – when did you sub in? do you recall the date or the Day?  
Did we determine that it was just one player making all the decisions on the triple vote?  
If it began as a co-operation of some sort then ..

- thanks for the tips on search \*  
I think I have these in the right order- I can’t pin point where exactly Inner subbed in, but this is part of what i remembered

[PM’s from Reality Trip to Normal](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=15017929&postcount=2233)  
RT claims to be able to cause some HP damage at night. ( can soldiers do that?) And some other fancy stuff is alluded to/redacted

[Inner claims assassin](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=15098509&postcount=3348)

[Inner claims when e got the role e was a Ninja](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=15098641&postcount=3361)  
Which brings the question \*\* did you ask if your former self had watched anyone? Or did you? \*\*  
\*\* InnerII \*\* chose to go from Ninja to assassin which means he had to gain a level and be chaotic ( from the ninja role)

I’m tracking the timing .I can’t quite tell when \*\* InnerII \*\* joined us  
maybe some of this is just gut but it’s part of what was bothering me.  
No I don’t have a rock solid case- who here does?

Now that I can search this game maybe I can build a case for you to read.  
obviously I don’t have a solid on anyone at this point.

the leans I have shared have been missed or challenged

You don’t have a vote down. Can you answer your own question?

Septimus. I’m letting the cases develop to see if that’ll solidify further.

But, since I’ve stated it, might as well vote:

**Vote Septimus**

Septimus, just because you have never heard of a Shadow Mage does not make it not true. Do you know all the classes of Mage in this game? The other 2 classes I know of are the Dark Mage and the White Mage.
