Happy to help! You also now have access to just what a knucklehead I am when it comes to remembering what is happening in my own game. So, it’s good times all around.

Agreed on the nightkill. After bufftabbly flipped wolf, I was sure the next lynch would be Lightfoot. Wolves know that’s a mislynch and not one of their own, so why not go for Mafia? Did they think the soft claim indicated she was Mafia?

After bufftabby flipped wolf on JB’s theory you and BT were in cahoots, you’re the next logical target. The wolves gain nothing from killing you since they know you’re not a wolf and you were cleared as mafia through investigation. Maybe they thought you were the godfather, but even then, I think it’s a bad kill to attempt. Wolves need dead mafia bodies.

I’m growing more and more convinced JB is mafia.

Pleonast has a new game recruiting players over on Giraffe Boards. He needs 12, but can take up to 35.

If you have been dead awhile or even just a short time, it sounds neat. Open Setup this time, some neat rules. You can vote for multiple people, a standard Pleonast rule.

Please sign up for my Lovers of Elysia game! Everyone is a power role! Almost everyone has a partner, who may or may not be trusted. And it’s quite possible everyone will die! Who can resist deadly fast passionate action? (Or is it fast deadly passionate action?)

Sign ups for my game will close late night on Monday, 27 Mar 2017. (I’m on spring break next week.)

Yummy grog!

Anway, Texcat should be the next target. I’m still wary of Biotop. And Bravo keeps ever so slightly climbing up my mafiameter.

I have my own reasons but what is your reason for Texcat to be next?

I just have that feeling, ya know? Her posting is a combination of “just enough to seem around, but forgettable” to “purposefully confusing”. I’m dead and lazy, so I’m not gonna dig up and quote her.

Prior to my demise I posted a look see at TexCat ( because of a dream- ha) I wondered it you had gleaned anything from that.

Ugh.

This game was too big to be fun for me, in the long run.

Work didn’t help, nor did the ongoing frustration of being caught in a “scum tell” that actually WAS me just being too busy with work and not posting the first post I thought I had on the thread, and then I got flustered.

Sorry for the low levels of fun. Next time, in 10 years, it will be better.

I have a feeling most of the Fun will be looking back at this game and saying proudly, “I wish IN that game. I may have sucked at it, but I was in that game.”
