[QUOTE=hocow] You want to lynch me “just to see what happens”? :dubious: What are you expecting to happen? I still don’t understand what I’m doing do set off your and **Blaster Master** ’s FOS. But so far, it’s only the two of you who seem out to get me. That is suspicious to _me_. I’m beginning to think the two of you are in cahoots somehow. For now, I’ll stick to my original vote, but I’m keeping my eye on you as well. [/QUOTE] Well, y’know, I could want to _vote_ for you just to see what happens. :dubious: ---

[QUOTE=kivvik] … we have a lychee … [/QUOTE] I hope not, I don’t really like lychee. I’ll repeat my thought that **Blaster Master** and \*\*pimaspinner \*\*are probably on opposite sides. Anybody want to update the vote? I have a cat on my lap and can’t type well. P.S. This is not a prissy white cat like Blofeld had so don’t go getting any ideas. ---

[QUOTE=FlyingCowOfDoom] You flipped Malacandra and hocow. Malacandra voted for hocow, hocow voted for Blaster Master. –FCOD [/QUOTE] DAMN! I will get this whole vote counting thing right.

[QUOTE=MadTheSwine] \ I think these 4 goons need to be looked at,along with **pimaspinner** who defends all 4 of them in post 847. [/QUOTE] Quoting my own post here: [QUOTE=pimaspinner] \*\*glee \*\* – no alarms so far. \*\*Winston \*\* \*\*Smith \*\* – other than casting the 10th vote for **Enfant** , I don’t find anything nefarious with **Winston**. \*\*Pygmy \*\* \*\*Rugger \*\* – don’t see any suspicious behavior \*\*Storyteller0910 \*\* – not a lot of posts to go on, no sirens here. And just because someone hasn’t raised my suspicions, doesn’t mean I trust them. [/QUOTE] I listed what I thought about every player in the game. Lots of others haven’t pinged on my radar yet. I would hardly call that a defense. I mildly defended **Winston** in my analysis of\*\* Lakai \*\* when I said that I didn’t think that he knew that his vote would immediately drop the hammer for the lynch. ---

**storyteller0910** , your point about **CaerieD** is taken. It does make sense that she would investigate a former player on the first night. It still doesn’t change my mind about **Blaster Master**. He seems to be running the show with the sheer number of posts making him seem trustworthy. ---

[QUOTE=MadTheSwine] Those three are \*\*glee,Winston Smith \*\* and **storyteller0910**. I reviewed the thread starting at page 7. The only one that said anything like he might be away was **storyteller0910** and on top of that didn’t really say he was going to be away,just not able to add in depth analysis(Post 590). **storyteller0910** and my beloved **Winston Smith** both voted for **Enfant**. \*\*Winston \*\* trusts **storyteller** in post 457 The point is… **Pygmy** got his threads confused and posted things here that were said in the Mafia thread. I think these 4 goons need to be looked at,along with **pimaspinner** who defends all 4 of them in post 847. Unvote Pleonast Vote Pygmy Rugger [/QUOTE] I checked Winston’s and Glee’s posts and I did not see them say anything like this. **Pygmy Rugger** , you should explain yourself. ---

Okay, best wishes for a good game to all, including **JSexton.** There wasn’t any one single and dramatic cause that made it completely impossible for me to continue, like a serious injury in the family or a job transfer to Somalia, but I’m grateful to our moderator **NAF1138** for arranging things so smoothly. For anyone who’s curious about my reasons for leaving, they basically boil down to two: - I wasn’t enjoying playing, largely because I was starting to feel very anxious over the perception that I was playing poorly and seemingly unable to convey anything at all in a way that was clear and inspired any kind of trust. - The game has been moving quickly, generating a LOT of activity, and requiring a lot of time to keep up with, as I think everybody in it has probably noticed. The more I tried to come to terms with that, the more I kept coming up against the realization that this is a time that I actually want to be doping _less_, not more - and devoting more time and energy to other things like my job, writing, and spending time with family. - Hi, Don Opal! And with that… I bid you adieu. ---

Six votes for Pleonast (Lakai, Kat, Suburban Plankton, Fern Forest, Fretful Porpentine, Gadarene) It looks like MadTheSwine’s vote was removed but the count wasn’t changed. Well we do make it hard for him. A request. When you create a hyperlink it’s often colored blue, in fact I believe it’s the default color. Please don’t use people’s names as the link. Rather use [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/newreply.php?do=newreply&p=8418394) or [this post](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/newreply.php?do=newreply&p=8418394). Thank you. ```auto So long chrisk. ``` ---

OK, on the off chance that my reasoning above appealed to everyone, I went and did what I said I would do before; I compiled a list of all the people who have voted for **sturmhauke,** , **chrisk** , or **Autolycus**. This list follows. I make no attempt to pretend that it is definitive; reading through this thread looking for votes has made my head hurt. VOTED FOR STURMHAUKE Queuing Menocchio – jumped (to Queuing) Fern Forest Aguecheek CaerieD VOTED FOR CHRISK MadtheSwine Rysto FCOD Pygmy Rugger ArizonaTeach Kat - unvoted Lakai Winston Smith VOTED FOR AUTOLYCUS Gadarene - jumped FCOD Malacandra - jumped glee Enfant Terrible chrisk Menocchio Only two people appear on more than one of these lists: **Mennocchio** and **FCOD**. Of those two, **Mennocchio** was probably cleared by our detective (unless he is the Godfather, in which case we’re a special kind of screwed, but what are the odds?). **FCOD** also voted for **Enfant Terrible**. I’m not in love with the reasoning behind all this, because it relies on the assumption that **sturm,** , **Auto** , and **chrisk** are all townies of one flavor or another. All the same, in the interest of keeping an eye on _everyone_, and not just those two or three who happen to be at the head of the suspicion parade for this particular day, I’m going to - vote FlyingCowofDoom [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/werewolf-a-game-part-2-this-time-with-mafia/397565.md?page=43) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/werewolf-a-game-part-2-this-time-with-mafia/397565.md?page=45)
