    I actually think you found a convenient way to get me lynched, if you wanted to hear more from me in round 1 already, why was all you did vote for me? Despite what you said earlier one vote will hardly make me talk more.

    Besides, using WLAN as an excuse for not posting your PM sounds pretty fishy to me, if your WLAN really slows down your internet that it takes two minutes to load a page I wonder how you can chat in the chat.

    Concerning my reactions because you all talk about them, some people here know I will always have strong reactions opposing Sigurd in a mafia game because he is a very good player and superb bender of truth(liar) and it never seems hard for him to get people on his side which is why I'm never satisfied shooting blanks at him and get out the big guns right away.

    Chat doesnt take time to load posts.

    Im on Wireless as well (most of the time)

    It will take 4-5 minutes to load a full page of normal posts, 1-2 minutes to open pm box, 2 minutes to have the pm load.

    (takes 4-5 minutes as im 80 posts per page)

    Just because you never had lag in the chat doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

    I also use WLAN to browse sometimes and it isn't slow, not if you get more than one or two of those bars in Windows anyway in which case you're either too far away from the router or have a bad WLAN adapter. I know there was a lso the game etc but he didn't even attempt to post a PM before Andres(could've made a second post) and now he wonders why noone believes him. It's not unlikely that he was just lacking time to forge a believable role PM.

    He gambled by making up results for people he didnt know anything about then.

    He got it right.

    Explain that?

    Are you serious on the load speeds!? Dial up on a phone modem here would be faster then your wireless; in fact a handheld can load the forum pages under 20 seconds.
    In most cases depending on provider high speed LAN or wireless in North America are the same and the download is in seconds. I thought the wireless, WIFI were the same globally for speed.

    Anyone surfing on the above speeds truly have the patience of Job and dedication to the game.

    Alright... let’s put this point of the discussion behind us once and for all.

    I was watching a game on the telly. It was the quarterfinal in the world championship of ice hockey between Norway and Canada.
    While watching, I pulled up my laptop and connected to my wireless. Husar you of all should remember that when I am on a wireless, I always drop out several times when I am in the chat. My internet connection is fairly fast, but once I am connected wireless it is not stable as I can get disconnected several times during a few minutes. Sometimes it will be as fast as when using a cable, but often it will halt to a crawl and refreshing a page can take minutes. It could be that these problems stems from the fact that I have frozen a single IP as the connection for the D-Link router. The D-Link router is connected to my DMZ from the time I used to download huge files. I should change it back to DHCP, but I don't use it that often anymore.

    I know this is hard for you computer nerds to understand (OOC: ), but when your mind is in a hockey game, emotion seethes.
    You remember something about a mafia game and a magic time at around 22:00 hours. Damn, the game is not finished yet. Ah well, I 'll just flip open the laptop to place a vote. But lo and behold, you are just about getting lynched and you have not a clue why. You back trail some post to see what is up. The damn page wont load the page and you get the message of broken connection.
    Oh wait the game … Damn Canadians just put our forward through their goal, what is going on? Yeah get in there and bash some heads, stupid!! Hahaha the Canucks get three on the penalty bench. Come on guys!!! ... What? Husar seems to have started this bandwagon. Oh, the nerve of that guy ... Come on Norway, you are in power play; put that puck behind that fat goalie.
    Ah, yes Husar… I’ll just put my first investigation in there with my post. Hehe ...
    How stupid can one be; getting a penalty when in power-play? Take it easy guys. The Canucks are not unbeatable. Damn one fast goal against us. The spirit is breaking up. What time is it? Damn it is past ten ... Hmm, Sasaki mentions something about the investigation thing. Ah well, I guess I am dead, why not? Crap, the page is not loading. Come on, get going!! There, finally an edit box. Now, what to write? I’ll just ... What?!! Another goal against us? What is happening to the Norwegians? Damn guys, pull yourself together, you got more stamina than this ... Ah yes, the investigations. I’ll just paraphrase.
    There that’ll do. Back to the hockey game … Hmm a pm. Sasaki is asking me to remove my last investigation? Alright, maybe my result is revealing a pro-town role. Ah damn, come on you stupid page; load, load. There, changed. All is happy ... Oh no, the team is breaking apart *jumps out of couch* COME ON!!!! WORK!!, WORK!! Damn, to many goals for the Canucks, the game is lost and Andres just put a bullet through the head of my character. Oh, another pm.. hmm, Privateerkev thank me for removing his name. A pm with a subject of IC and signed Kevin. I guess I stumbled into something there.

    This is a true story and should explain in detail why it went down the way it went down.
    No need to discuss the finer details, when in an emotional uproar, common sense is not working properly.

    Okay I can see where this going.

    Testify brother! I am listening! I will be in the same state Sunday afternoon.

    Well this could be construed as a false statement.
    This is a true story and should explain in detail why it went down the way it went down.
    It's the World Hockey Championship I can see this happening to any hockey fan.

    Axel there is a chat room in the Org it is up on top of the threads beside the USER CP and Favorites. members will sometimes go in there and converse.

    At least one lie buried in a very good story.

    My PM to Ichigo is on the thread around here. Everyone knows I sign my PM's as "Kevin".


    I am quite convinced Sigurd is mafia. But I am puzzled as to how there could be more yakuza kills out there. I have two guesses.

    a.) There were 2 yakuza at the beginning of the game. or,

    b.) Sigurd was able to recruit a yakuza before he got lynched.

    I know people are skeptical of the whole recruiting thing but it was done in Capo 2, and done in a slightly different way in Netherworld. I do not believe it is beyond the realm of possibility. But like many of my ideas, I am pulling this one out of a particular orifice of mine. It's just a guess.

    I've said this before but it bares repeating. If Sigurd's post about me and Husar was false, perhaps his post about Pevergreen was false as well. I suggest giving Pevergreen more scrutiny. He should not get a pass all because Sigurd says he is innocent.

    I also find it curious that Sigurd is posting far more now that he is dead, than when he was alive. I guess he was laying low as yakuza but now is trying to cover for his buddy. (pevergreen perhaps?)

    It bears mentioning that the description given for Manfredo implies that he can join the town or the mafia. Anyone with access to this role PM would probably have information on "recruiting." He also did not kill on night 3 and thus would have been found innocent, and was probably out of his room investigating on Night 3 to make sure that Ichigo was Juliette. Would the great similarities between this role and the allegations made against you be entirely coincidental?

    Reading up on prior mafia games have given me ideas. Some things have puzzled me about this game so I've wondered if my ideas have merit. I share my ideas with the thread so others can benefit from my analysis and give their ideas. So, therefore, yes it is merely a coincidence. I would dare say it is an "entire coincidence."

    I understand that your "deep reading" of my posts is to help the town and I don't blame you. But you are simply barking up the wrong tree on this one. I don't expect you to believe that but I'll say it anyways so you can't say I didn't warn you. :D

    Okay this statement is now true and it was a damn penalty that lost the game.

    As for Husar post I am innocent just a townie with no role and I would also like to add what does PK know about the detective role. I have PK a townie like me am I wrong!?

    Things to be drawn from the write-up.

    It seems that Haudegan was killed by the brother. It may be a leap of faith, but the fact that the head was stuck on a spear, may mean that he found Manfredo? If so that means that there is no possibility of a pro-town vigilante.

    Husar seems to have been killed by the Yakusa (Martial Arts) so we know Taketski is still around. We also know that he has to kill everyone, so there may not be an ulterior motive for having Husar as a target.

    I'd suggest that Rythmic was the detective. I'd imagine the detective as a religious and polite guy. I'd guess a Carelli killing, a professional job, but if my first theory above is wrong then it could also have been Manfredo.

    Finally, the nervous guy and Pevergreen. I need to check this against what happened in thread. If Pever insulted someone, they'd definitely be on the list of suspects, the theory about it being Axel would seem to be the best atm.

    Nice of you to mention that you're just a plan old townie twice in two sentences. You seem to be reacting overly defensive for a paper-thin accusation by a dead person whose own reputation wasn't exactly sterling.

    Vote: Northnovas

    This is a gem of an analysis and one that I totally missed when reading the write-up. Re-reading it, I completely agree with your interpretation of the events. It's very possible that the MiB has just killed Manfredo. I haven't checked, but I think Sasaki, PK, and I are the only people left who voted for Ichigo. If the grinning man kills none of us tonight, I think we can assume he got Manfredo.

    I didn't realize he was dead so I was just defending myself but like any mafia game when one defends their name they become suspicious. A vote for me is only pro mafia because it will be a wasted lynch.

    I am just trying to figure what role you since N1. I can't imagine you not being in the thick of things. Possible the MiB and now you have aquired your target there won't be anymore kills??
