    Sorry for not being active. I was paying attention to the golden rule game and couldn't convince myself to read the 100s of posts that were piling up in this one. Bad excuse, I know.

    So I'll read the thread tonight and then try to be an active participant from now on...

    So that its subjects will view it with admiration, as a chicken which has the daring and courage to boldly cross the road,
    but also with fear, for whom among them has the strength to contend with such a paragon of avian virtue? In such a manner is the princely

    I would caution those who vote a certain way because I simply targeted a person at night. There could be a number of explanations for the fluctuating kill rate.
    "I'm going to die anyway, and therefore have nothing more to do except deliberately annoy Lemur." -Orb, in the chat
    "Lemur. Even if he's innocent, he's a pain; so kill him." -Ignoramus
    "I'm going to need to collect all of the rants about the guilty lemur, and put them in a pretty box with ponies and pink bows. Then I'm going to sprinkle sparkly magic dust on the box, and kiss it." -Lemur

    Okay so we have to trends:

    1. Scummy people keep getting off'd
    2. Grave robbers instead of kills.

    For 1. My guess is that its merely the effects of the two mafia famillies going at each other. One familly is clearly trying to eliminate the other before turning on the town. Ethier that or we have a vigillante, but I'm less inclined to belive that. So that means that any scum will e lurking as to not draw suspicision when they don't die. We all know that the players that talk the most always come under the most fire. Or else if there're inexperianced they'll stick out and can be dealt with from there. Nethier of these theroies are perfect, there's some WIFOM that has to be dealt with but its a thought.

    My guess for the kill rate differences is the Mafia has some sort of investigation power that they can use as an alternative for killing.

    I believe this was the case in Taormina, so its plausible for this game

    Vote Boudica

    Note that a no deaths night could just be the result of Mafia killing every second night - but I have no other clues and at leats this has the slightest hint of a possible mafia killing.

    Am up for changing votes if someone can give a better reason. I don't know the story that everyone else is going on about.

    Who are Günner and Fehrad for example?

    That's total WIFOM (or something along the lines of it, anyway), and I'm surprised it's gone unnoticed till now. How do you expect QJC to be lynched if you won't tell us why to vote for him? Furthermore, for what reason did you think you would stay alive on the basis of not providing a reason for your vote, instead of the other way around?

    Any reason that you could have must be better than no reason at all- until you explain your vote, you're looking kinda scummy to me.

    I understand. I just thought QJC is scummy for me and thats my personal opinion. If everyone ales disagrees then his not going to get lynched.

    Reason I voted for QJC is because ATPG was killed. I suspect the murderer are the player who played with ATPG in the last few games and considered him a threat. However by saying this, I realized that ATPG accused me before I died and thus ill be seen as a likely suspect. Which I am not, because by killing ATPG it will pretty much confirm him innocent and makes it even more dangerous for the mafia then it originally were. But by saying this its a WIFOM and its going to get my lynched.

    Here I signed to the letter of death for me. Hang me, crucify me, do as you wish

    Sorry for the poor performance so far. If not in this game.

    boudica- I suck at analyzing new players
    GeneralHankerchief-roleblocker=innocent
    Jolt- Worth a look
    seireikhaan- seems similar to Golden in my opinion. I believe he was scum in GR so a possible scum
    Rythmic- WoG bait, not worth a lynch
    shlin28-seems kind of quiet, don't know what to make of it
    Tiberius of the Drake- seems quiet, but he usually is
    187Beefyz- I'm not getting good vibes off of him
    Chaotix27- no opinion
    Quintus.JC- no opinion
    YLC- umm, is he a vigilante? If so I say we go with the tried and true "kill the vig" strategy. irony/
    Sigurd-Seems normal so far, worth a look later on when there's more to analyze
    woad&fangs-THAT'S ME!
    Yoyoma1910- I want to see how GR turns out before I pass judgement on him
    Ibn-Khaldun- I think more pressure should be put on him
    Lord Winter- basically confirmed innocent because of inactivity. No idea why the scum let him live
    CountArach- I believe his busy excuse
    Caius- appears Caiusy.
    El Diablo- wait...he didn't get meatballed on round 1??? That's really out of character. lynch him!
    Glyphz- I think he's a lot quieter(like in this game) when he doesn't have a role. probably innocent.
    Seamus Fermanagh- seems to be his normal analytical self
    Ignoramus- lurking. nothing new from when i've played with him in the past.

    so... from my scummy list

    Jolt
    seireikhaan
    shlin28
    beefy
    YLC
    Ibn-Khaldun

    lets vote: shlin28

    Alright, now that we have that taken care of...

    Unvote: Beefy

    I'm not getting really scummy vibes any more now that you've explained your vote, which seems to be more or less just a hunch anyway. I thought you might have had a role and were hiding something...

    Now, I'm gonna Vote: Jolt, because even after his explanation, although I have no reason to believe it's false, it still looks like he was just pining for an excuse to lurk early on. Though I suppose I myself should not be one to talk..

    Bleh@reason for vote. Being proven (As I have) that I didn't kill any of the three (Since even if I lied about my own personal life, the fact is that I wasn't online in the day there were 3 people killed), and thinking there are like 6 killers, and supposing that noone of them has been killed I have less than 5% (Like 3/90, not good at math) of being someone with a mafia role. Thus, you're basically lynching at random, and since most of us are townies, you have a gigantic chance (100%, for lynching me) to lynch a townie.
    Yoyoma's reason is (Sorry, no offence, since you may lynch who you wish) stupid beyond conception.

    I was stuck between YLC and CA, but I'll go with YLC.

    Vote: YLC

    EDIT: Since I'm at risk of being lynched, I'll prefer CA who already has a vote.

    Unvote: YLC
    Vote: CountArach

    Why not just post that at first? If nothing else its erratic behavior which is the best lead I've got for now.

    Vote: Beefyz


    Also there are multiple families, so a kill isn't a confirmed innocent.

    ATPG made himself a murder bait by saying all the stuff he said. Your accusation would also apply to all the other players that played numerous games with APTG, it just doesn't build up...

    Frankly I don't think any of the favorites for this round look guilty.

    Boudica seems innocent to me, I don't trust Sigurd (who voted for CA) as far as I can throw him, Quintus is helping out, and Beefy would be playing a better game if he was mafia (see Golden Rule) and Jolt doesn't stand out enough in my mind to be lynched.

    It seems that Beefy knew I was blocked the previous night, and the number of deaths decreased dramatically. He didn't want to reveal that fact so went for a blinding vote against me and hoped for someone to jump on the bandwaggon, this would suggest he is town. am I right Beefy? or have you got any other reason to vote for me, people doesn't like it when a person votes for another person without giving any reason for their choice.

    Actually... I didn't know that. This suggest that I have to read write ups more carefully
