Mafia V: The Cult of Sekham

Very welcome! :stuck_out_tongue:

It’s not that I didn’t believe them, per se. I just had a lot of other better (but wrong) suspects at that time. :smack:

Yes, that did seem to be true.

I decided to use them as breadcrumbs on the principle enshrined in “The Purloined Letter.” I hoped it would be so obvious that no-one would think of it.

You know how close you came to me doing what you wanted? I investigated Kyrie on Night 9. The failure was due to the interference of our Alchemist (for which she has been duly smote). Otherwise I would have been proclaiming him Believer in Day 10.

The fact that he would then have been the top of my two-man list of candidates for Prophet may or may not have meant anything. Then there was the 30% chance that blocked me reading USCDiver on Night 12, which (along with the killing bit) helped your evil plan.

You’re absolutely right about that. That’s why I called Omi no Kami on it in M3, and why I applaud NAF’s intervention in your little scuffle over in the Firefly game.

Brewha actually mentioned Queuing in his farewell thread as one of the reasons he wanted to quit the boards (luckily, brewha reconsidered).

That reminds me. I completely forgot to crack a “strange, incompetent, & unhelpful” joke during my little research project. :smack:

You mean like this one? :stuck_out_tongue:

I completely missed the signifigance of that post. I remember reading it and clicking the first link, and looking around at the Morning Crescent thread, but I must’ve gotten distracted before I got to the second link. :frowning:

See? It was a “strange, incompetent, & unhelpful” joke :smiley: :stuck_out_tongue:

So he did, and he didn’t even tell me about it! I mean if I am going to be used as the ONLY example for someone quitting the dope it would have been nice to know.

For the record, I have had a few dust-ups with people here. One or two of them have PM’d me or I them. In all of these incidents I don’t hold them against anybody, or frankly even remember them outside the game. I will admit that the Sachertorte one was, IMO, the worse of them and much of that was the frustration I felt towards the number of subs and the people who went on vacation for extended periods of time during the game. I feel that doing so is very irresponsible. We all put a lot of time and effort into this game. It is well known that it takes a LONG time to play one of these games. Quitting or taking vacations in the middle of it with the excuse “I expected to be dead” is basically taking advantage of and cheating all of the rest of the players. I do not find that acceptable. That is the reason for my anger felt towards sachertorte and his subsequent quitting of the game.

Kyrie really does hate me. sniff

It’s hard to tell when genuine feelings are involved and when they aren’t. For example, many of the same attitudes storyteller0910 has shown there are the same as he was showing on Day 1 here. Talking about it being personal and having high frustration levels, etc. In his funny story he said this was playacting. He has never said anything to me outside of a context where it could be considered playing to the audience about being offended by my behavior. I’d hope he’d take it to PM or email if I’m bothering him instead of airing it in the game, where it could both cause extra tension for other players and be misread as playacting.

Enjoy,
Steven

Nah, not at all, despite the fact he wishes he’d killed you that last night. Good game, town, well played, and that goes double or more for you, Cookies.

Sorry, scum, I chose, er, poorly. At the time, I thought it would be too much to ask USCDiver to swallow that Queuing had killed the only player who didn’t want to vote for him the previous day, and I was pretty sure that if I killed Queuing, Cookies would have voted for me over USCDiver. Where’s the fracking undo button?

Thanks, Blaster, for running the show.

Wow. Well done Cookies. Coming back after a holiday and reading that was quite a rollercoaster!

Thanks to all, and especially **BlaM **for hosting.

Well, I thought that I was pretty clear in posts 4108 and 4117 that Queuing was my first choice, but I’m not sure how I would have reacted if I had been left alive after being so explicit in my suspicions.

Regardless, your voting record against Kat so early in the game (knowing you were the Prophet) was pretty compelling to me and much easier than going back through all your posts a la Cookies. So you probably would have been safe with me.

As much as I would have liked to have been the final decision maker, I was happier to have won as a Vanilla Townie!

Reading through the Cult Board, I was very surprised with how easily the Cult was discouraged in the middle of the game. I think they were so bummed by the failed Conversion attempt that they forgot to ‘think like town’ and realize that we were all still scared shitless that it had already happened successfully and spent a lot of energy trying to figure out who it might have been. Also I had been waiting for the ‘You’ve been Converted’ PM from about the middle of the game all the way until I was killed because I thought I would have been a good candidate. Looks like y’all had at least considered it at some point.

Anyway, thanks Blaster Master for letting me continue playing despite so many times I had to leave town and for maintaining a perfectly balanced game in the face of so many subs, flame outs, and player fuckups.

BTW, somewhere in the scumboards you said something like “well, if NAF were to admit he’s scum, diggit’s reaction would be to vote for me”. Made me laugh.

Still, vote Kyrie! :smiley:
