Priest mechanic makes this a very nice play. Clue analysis time! All was quiet in the town of Liquiville. The sleepy town had never been one which dabbled in the troubles of bigger cities and was content to live a simple country life. The moon was high in the sky with the light filtering through the windows of the village folk when the silence was broken by a shrill sharp yell. Confused, two of the village folk went out to investigate the strange noises. Their search lead them to the Emperor’s Palace, a find they wished they could just forget. + Show Spoiler [Possibly Important Lines] + The moon was high in the sky with the light filtering through the windows of the village folk when the silence was broken by a shrill sharp yell. - Shrill, sharp yell is pretty strong wording. As they stepped through the gates they saw a sight which resembled a bloody battle. The bodyguards were strung up on lines like a human clothes line. Blood spilling from their gored bodies and pooling on the ground. The two forced themselves to continue on, for the sake of the town. They tread through the blood and into the inner palace. Little did Camlito and Ace know that this foolish move would be their last. As they entered, a bomb went off to their right, sending a pillar crashing down on top of the poor innocent townies. Both were flattened into human pancakes. + Show Spoiler [Possibly Important Lines] + The bodyguards were strung up on lines like a human clothes line. - Someone likes making a display out of their victims. As they entered, a bomb went off to their right, sending a pillar crashing down on top of the poor innocent townies. - Been said before, but we're looking for our suicide bomber here most likely. The events at the Palace were not yet through for the night. Plexa, the Emperor, had heard the noises, seen his Bodyguards brutally tortured and murdered and heard the explosion down stairs. He knew that whoever the intruders were, they were after him. Fortunately Plexa’s Palace was well equipped with hiding places after his Uncle’s erratic fear of giant spiders. It was not difficult for him to completely conceal his presence in the room. + Show Spoiler [Possibly Important Lines] + Nada Two men were rummaging around in a room nearby, where exactly he could not tell. The sounds came closer and closer and very soon they were in the same room as him. He saw two men; one tall and lanky, the other carrying an explosive device. Their plan became immediate to him, they were going to blow his palace up with him inside. The two began setting the device while Plexa buried himself in his hiding place. + Show Spoiler [Possibly Important Lines] + He saw two men; one tall and lanky, the other carrying an explosive device. - Character traits. Same dude with the bombs again. “Wait” said one of them. Plexa heard footsteps, he heard gun load, he felt the cold of the barrel up against the back of his neck. The man pulled the trigger. The Emperor was dead. + Show Spoiler [Possibly Important Lines] + Plexa heard footsteps, he heard gun load, he felt the cold of the barrel up against the back of his neck. - Gun. Probably the tall, lanky one. Dawn broke, and the cry of the countless vultures overhead woke the villagers from their slumber. The smell of death filled the air and immediately they all knew their quiet little village would stay quiet no longer. Amongst the ruins of the Palace the village found the body of their beloved Emperor as well as the bodies of his fallen guards. There was a note posted on the town gallows which read “We will not rest until every last villagers is dead. You will all pay for what you have done to me”. The town was confused at this note, but knew what they must do. A new Emperor must be elected, one prepared to fight the Mafia insurgence and save the town from brutal slaughter. + Show Spoiler [Possibly Important Lines] + There was a note posted on the town gallows which read “We will not rest until every last villagers is dead.

Now, the mention of easily breaking into a locked room. He has a loose connection with "entusman and a profile full of stats (numbers)" suggests he is good with numbers, and with entusman you could loosely translate it to "enterman" plus numbers would be easy for him. Entusman is the group of CJ fans. I think you're stretching and reaching by linking "Entusman" to "Enterman". Yes I have a profile full of (outdated) stats from NAS/PTL. Doesn't mean I'm good with numbers lol. For a colour changing hand and pulsating, he has multiple names in his profile, with different colours for each his own name listed as blue. This could indicate that he changed to that colour. Doesn't that seem too easy to you? and lastly for the savage beating. He has the words "GO BERSERKER!!!!" in his profile quote. He attacked fishball in an uncontrollable rage till he was beaten to nothing more than a pulp. Berserkers can rarely control their rage, so this fits him insanely well. "3 fuzzy shapes leaving with some kind of psychedelic object draped over one of their backs" would also indicate judge as well based on the different names in his profile (if he was constantly changing colour he could be percieved that way" Again, doesn't this seem too easy? I'm probably going to be picked apart because of this so I'll put some stuff out now. 1. Voting. I voted abstain at first because I wasn't prepared to cast a sure vote. Then voting ended before I was able to get back to my computer. After the veteran plan, I probably would've voted for BC, I just wasn't here at that moment. 2. Activity. As already stated, my job is becoming a real pain in the ass. 10 PM - 6 AM then 3 PM to 11 PM all in the same 25 hours. I'm sleeping a lot. However, I'll still try to be as active as humanly possible when I'm not. | ||

YDG had similar actions in Pyrry's game, posting up what seemed to be activity and helpful posting to us (who were mostly too new to catch on to it). He turned out being the godfather. While I won't go to say that he is GF again this game, he should be on everyone's watch list, especially with his flip-flopping and empty posts. For some background that I did, since I am possibly the worst clue analyzer in this game (if you doubt this, ask people from Pyrry's game about my push for Jayme... oops). Ydg's profile only gives us the quote HeavOnEarth posted: The only courage that matters is the kind that gets you from one moment to the next. Author - Mignon McLaughlin From - The Second Neurotic's Notebook (1966) Ydg only turned up a skatepark for me as well in Google. | ||

The priest role changes hands after every resurrection!", hence putting all angels on one player and voting rain, yes eliminates the suicide bomber, but 1) Leaves MBH wide open for hits 2) Puts our prots on one person who is now a townie. | ||

I read the quote. I still pointed out the fallacies in it. We'll have two confirmed townies when the MBH rezz is complete, hopefully. The other part of BC's plan which you are inherently missing is the point of specifically choosing MBH. MBH is pretty well going to lead the town after this. Yes, confirmed townies are great, but only if we're trading them for mafia snipes, which we need a living MBH for. | ||

He's displayed a bunch of characteristics this game that are really mafia-like, in my opinion. Some of this has been hit on by others, but it all builds into my case here.
Wishy-Washy Voting & Posting Inconsistencies Ydg can't make up his mind about anything. First, he's unable to decide on weather. Should we vote rain or snow? No wait, we need to vote fog! This is all within 20 minutes, mind you. The only info that comes up between these posts is that Fishball has gotten his role and he's passing by the thread. Then, after saying "vote fog" he continues debating about how good snow would be early game, because, you know, we're going to vote fog. Then he claims he started the fog discussion. While he did technically post "Vote fog" first, he still wasn't the main proponent for it. That causes some stupid arguing. Day 2 roles around, and he votes fog. But then later on, he says, "Oh wait, rain might be good." But then he goes back to "Vote fog" after all is said and done. In lynching, he starts day 2 off with an early vote on Truthbringer. After a post giving three options, he randomly takes his vote off. His only reason is that he wants to see what happens. What? In regards to his posting inconsistencies, he has some very odd tendencies. First, he starts off posting some contributions. Then he goes inactive. Then BC calls him out and threatens a lynching, so he snaps active. If he is a townie, he wouldn't need to worry about a lynching, because there would be more than inactivity linking to him. Townies threatened with lynches because of inactivity don't usually post more, they stay inactive. Then he says he'd like to clue analyze but it's only day 1. That usually means "I'm not going to clue analyze". Then he reneges on that post not 10 minutes later and begins analyzing the day post. Then, he says at one point due to the amount of abstaining voters, he doesn't think that either candidate is mafia, but the next day he starts insinuating that BC might be mafia as well as pyrry. But the one that takes the cake is his one post saying that just because he doesn't post in the thread but votes, doesn't mean he's inactive. He then accuses iLoveKT of doing the exact same thing. There's plenty more. He accuses me of defending a weak-ass link, which I did just to defend it rather than skirt it. Then he makes the weakest link ever with Mr. Julia, Julia Roberts and Joaquin Phoenix having the same birthday and the phoenix and Mr. Julia turning colors (btw, Julia Roberts, Joaquin Phoenix and I all have the same birthday, ironically). And he's happy that Pyrry defended the phoenix link (which was weak alone). Also in his full day 2 analyisis (posted at 00:12 on July 07 2009 if you want to ctrl+F it), he assures us that the tall and lanky one found Plexa, while a careful read of that Day post shows it didn't specify which of the men found Plexa. Empty Trash Posting Several of his posts have been valueless. Lets start in the beginning. Someone asks about BWDero's profile picture, and all he posts is a wikipedia link, and nothing more. A trained ape could've done that. Then he bitches about not having anything to discuss and says he only goes inactive when he is mafia. He does some very elementary clue analysis, just basically "Oh look, there's two of them, and these are character traits". Then he reposts someone's math about the KP equations (I believe it was JeeJee). After that he simply sets off some flames on BC. Flames a bit more. Then he talks a bit about Mr. Julia, rehashing Lenwe's post. Then we get 3-ish paragraphs saying "Clue analysis sucks, but L's is alright." He posts up some of Plexa's very old mafia-hunting guide. Decides to attack BC's analysis when his provided nothing we already didn't know. Then he harps on how his bad plan was bad, but gets annoyed at me pointing out flaws in it, which may link him to being mafia. One of the best is when he tries to cast suspicion on BC, he ends with bullshit like "He uses a 0" and "He is caps blind". He then has a fairly civil discussion with BC. The last bit is his re-posting of the things he felt we "missed" in the thread. It was useful the first time around, but now it just seems like mafia trying to butter up the town with things like "But, I highlighted those missed posts for all of you twice!" I came after him on this and his only defense is that I post shit that isn't helping the town, says I didn't need to defend the clues linking me to mafia, then says he reposted it because no one was posting anything. Tells me I can ignore his posts. He finishes this idiocy off with "I won't allow myself to be revived then". Voting Without Any Reason Ok, this one is fairly short. Mainly, his vote for Ecomania is completely wft. He pulls his vote off Truthbringer so he wouldn't be on a bandwagon, or to see what happens. I'm still not sure which it was. But then he votes randomly for Ecomania. What? He says abstaining would make others suspicious of him for not being on a list? Because we're going to vote-list check Ecomania for 3 votes. He also never gave any justification as to why he voted BC for mayor, even though he is opposing BC hardcore. Trying to Reveal a Power Role & Misquoting First lets go with the Power Role. He admits this was a bad plan, but that just looks like a backtrack to me. Let me remind everyone of the brilliant plan he concocted. Genius in Action Once we get mafia down to 4 kp (not due to weather), if the priest role claims publically and all angels protect the priest, and we vote rain every day, mafia will have no way of killing the priest. And, as the ability travels between people, we get more and more confirmed townies. And if mafia decides to role claim priest, the real priest should speak up, but I guess then there will have to be some trust in deciding who the real priest is. This comes AFTER several people have said "Wow, revealing the priest is a bad idea." We had no need at that point in time for the priest to come out. That is setting mafia up for an easy snipe. He wants to protect the priest after every rezz, and wants a roleclaim from every priest as well. It was well stated earlier that we can't rely on angels to win this game. Yet that's what he wants. Or, more likely, he wants to 1) Stop the priest role from changing hands or 2) Set up MBH for another snipe. Either one is detrimental to town. He also has a habit of misquoting posts. Mostly it comes in his clue "analysis". He misquotes the fact that the "tall & lanky one" found Plexa. He misquotes that the lone killer of Shikyo is arrogant and that his eyes were "bursting". Again, smaller than the rest, but still significant in my eyes. ydg's complete posting history to this moment in the next post (I was >100,000 characters :p) | ||

+ Show Spoiler [ydg's Posts, Part 1] + On July 03 2009 03:03 ydg wrote: Can we repeatedly vote for the same weather options? Like snow/snow/snow/snow/snow? And the weather takes effect the night and the next day, right, so if we voted for fog that means that tomorrow's vote checks wouldn't show pledges? Anyways I'm stuck between snow and rain. Day 1 clues are always weak because they're mostly red herrings so more clues would be nice, but with a KP of 5 and only 30 townies, mafia needs 5 days to win, so it might be a good idea to limit their KP until we can kill some mafia and lower it that way. On July 03 2009 03:18 ydg wrote: I wouldn't say that rain is useless, especially early game. Early game, mafia can either hit blindly, try to snipe, or take out people talking a lot. It's easier to block hits if they do the last two, which usually happens early game. Hitting blindly isn't going to help them that much. Regardless, I voted for snow. Oh and got my role. On July 03 2009 03:21 ydg wrote: Wait. "The option with the most votes will be announced during the lynching and the weather will change immediately." Vote for fog. I assume lynching for day 1 means the election, so we do fog during the election, since you can't even list check mayor voting lists, and we have them lose some hits for the night. And then tomorrow we change the fog to snow and they can list check. Unless there is no weather for tonight. On July 03 2009 05:12 ydg wrote: Not necessarily, since Plexa could do clues where only a few mafia have clues linked to them each day. But I agree, until we know how clues are, if they're tidbits from the mafia's profile/whatever else and expressed through traits such as physical traits, tendency to use a weapon, or what not, or if the tidbits are just shown in the scene. Or if Plexa draws heavily on a theme or if he picks from this and that, we don't know yet. On July 03 2009 10:12 ydg wrote: I disagree with spamming fog, but I agree that fog should be used day one. List checking is one of the most effective tools, and, as pledges can only be found via list checks, if we spam fog, we will have no sure way of hitting pledge as opposed to hitting regular mafia.

So so far only two characters have been mentioned, "tall and lanky" and "Mr. Explosive." I THINK that the person who killed Plexa was another person, perhaps a stealthy person (like a ninja, why is there always a ninja). Also, the "strung up on lines like a human clothes line" is VERY strange, what a weird way to phrase an odd scene. And of course, the note. But, being day 1, I can't think much of these except a preliminary outline of how clues will be? On July 05 2009 15:39 ydg wrote: Btw, 8/8 Mafia alive. (Current killing power = 5) 1/1 Suicide Bomner alive. 1/1 Godfather alive. so, 6 non-Godfather, non-Bomber mafia.

I guess we can always figure out a way to get pledges without the voting list check. On July 06 2009 02:37 ydg wrote: Actively reading the thread?

But, unless Plexa is some sort of botanist or whatever that works with poisonous foxglove seeds (I've never heard of them before), how does he get foxglove seeds as a weapon o_O. Remember, Plexa goes (probably) from INFO->CLUE and so we need to see what links TO foxglove seeds and not what foxgloves seeds links to. How is Plexa going to go from "The flower that blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of all" to foxglove? When someone shows me this connection, I'll vote Araav. But for now, it seems that the people who are adamantly trying to get him lynched are very suspicious. Also, clues tend to NOT be many things from a person's profile, but a few select details (from my experience, Plexa may be doing it differently) that are heavily emphasized. Thus the vx70GTOJudgexv is very weak, imo, because why would he be connected to so many different things? The main points of Mr Julia are probably the noobiness (ineptness->inertinept lol), this weird pulsating thing, and this rage, which, like I said before, may be because of the greenness of the character. All in all, I'd say L's analysis seems the most logical to me.

Not that I say that he's not mafia, but COME ON, a mention of some obscure, poisonous plant, and you link it to him because of his flower quote? Like I said, how does he even get to "foxglove" from this flower, unless he has knowledge of this foxglove thing before and was like, "flower..oh I'll make a poisonous flower BECAUSE THAT ISN'T AN OBVIOUS LINK AT ALL." If anything, I'd say that it isn't a clue and instead the clue is that the mafioso tends to prepare/use explosives. Well it seems that you're spending time on behavior analysis and not clues. Your clue analysis, which was very weak. Whatever. I see that you have no other options at this point and to prove that you're not an incompetent leader you have to get a lynch off. And, seeing as you have no other options, why not go for the guy who stands out, right?

Plexa heard footsteps, he heard gun load, he felt the cold of the barrel up against the back of his neck. The man pulled the trigger. The Emperor was dead. The team of two got to work right away sabotaging the Cheese factory. As one sprinkled fox glove seeds all over the cheese, the tall lanky one kept vigilant in case security was alerted. Elemenope had been alerted to their activities moments ago upon hearing the prolonged roar which had come from the control tower, which then prompted him to look outside his window which overlooked the entire factory. As a security guard for the factory, he knew it was his responsibility to protect the exports at all cost. He launched himself out of the window towards the two saboteurs in hopes to catch them by surprise. However the lanky one was well aware of what was going on. A simple sidestep was enough to have Elemenope come crashing to the floor, immediately the other Mafioso tied him up and strapped a bomb to his chest. No one was able to help Elemenope before the timer ran out.

His quickened walk looked almost arrogant as he kept his eyes peeled for any sign of resistance. The Mafioso burst through the control room door and Shikyo leapt from his chair in shock. Disappointed that there was only one occupant, the Mafioso sighed and punched Shikyo in the gut, causing him to fall face first onto the ground. Standing above Shikyo, the Mafioso opened fire on his head. By the end of the incident there was more metal inside of Shikyo’s head than organic material. Satisfied with a job well done, the Mafioso signalled to his colleagues that the Control Room was secure. Traits: -arrogant -fast -eyes peeled, "bursting" -causing shock -"Disappointed that there was only one occupant" overachiever? + Show Spoiler + There was one matter left to attend to – the destruction of the secret Liquiville Cheese recipe. The task was left to Mr Julia, a newcomer to the Mafia but nonetheless determined to carry out his orders. Mr Julia had a nack for working out combinations and he had cracked the safe within seconds. He wasted no time in burning the recipe with his lighter. “What are you doing!!” cried fishball, startling Mr Julia and causing him to accidentally burn himself on the recipe. fishball watched in horror and amazement as Mr Julia’s burn wound began to change colour and pulsate. “Look what you’ve done!” exclaimed Mr Julia who came lunging at fishball. fishball fended Mr Julia’s first few blows off, but each blow became more erratic and powerful. It wasn’t long until Mr Julia landed a punch square on fishball’s jaw, knocking him to the ground. Mr Julia pounced on fishball and eventually turned fishball into a bloody pulp. Even though fishball was dead, Mr Julia could not stop and eventually, after his body began to pulsate, he passed out. Traits: -new -smart (puzzle solving) -pulsating when on fire -rageful, gets stronger and stronger, doesn't stop -low energy? (passes out) + Show Spoiler + Four Mafia had entered, but only three had returned to the exit. All three of them instantly knew what had happened to Mr Julia and rushed over to the safe room to bring him back home. vivi57 was the last security guard on duty and was know well aware that the place had been hit by the Mafia. He was hiding around a corner, near the safe room, hoping the Mafia would leave him be. However, the instant the 3 Mafia passed the corner he was struck down by a large faintly warm object. He fell to the ground dazed and confused, but could make out 3 fuzzy shapes leaving with some kind of psychedelic object draped over one of their backs. The three Mafia noted that he was still alive and opened fire on vivi57 – the sheer intensity of the bullets severed vivi57’s body in two. Traits -comes from nowhere -causes drug-like state? -may not be a mafia by himself (4 mafia had entered only, may be the remnants of Mr. Julia) On July 07 2009 03:46 ydg wrote: Read my quote. once we have the mafia down to 4 kp I realize it's a bad plan but it gives us a slew of confirmed townies, which is what bLOODYc0BBLER wanted with killing MBH, right?

I have a few thoughts about who the priest is, but if the mafia has self-proclaimed clue-beasts like bc and Pyrrh, then maybe they'll be able to figure it out. Seeing how their last hits failed to hit any blues except Shikyo, then I'm guessing their behavior analysis isn't great. Rain also frees up the list checks, so when my green blood flows, you can see how many of those evil minion pledges were quick to jump on the bandwagon (or not and vote for someone else in an attempt to seem non-bandwagon-y) So do we play conservatively or aggressively? | ||

Some buried posts:+ Show Spoiler + On July 06 2009 19:06 Lenwe wrote: First of, 'The flower that blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of all', is (or could be) a quote from the Mulan movie, made by Walt Disney in 1998. I've never seen this movie, nor know anything of the legend behind it, but perhaps some people more knowingly could use this to link the clue further to Araav (or use it to refute the clue ofcourse). Now, some other things that I noticed, this could ofcourse be completely false (I don't have a history of good clue hunting), but perhaps something to consider. This could(!!) be applied to BC himself. He walks arrogantly, as BC has done this game, promoting that he is an experienced player and that he should get the votes. He walks straight into the control room and takes control of it, like he has taken control of the town. Also, while there could be truth in his YDG explanation, he has been feeding us with diffirent suspects after the second post and with most explanations given for those I don't agree. I also don't agree with the fog decision but more on that later. Mr. Julia as the pulsating man could be a clue towards BWDero profile picture. In it is a picture of a man 'pulsating' with lighting, so that could be a clue towards him. The bomb man and the tall, lanky man are hard to find for me, but I'm a pretty sure they are clues. Perhaps we are looking for two friends, or two people who agree a lot with each other in this thread (although they would have to do that before the day 1 post, because they were working as a team already in that post). The method of killing everyone with a bomb could be a clue as well ofcourse. France, Switzerland and perhaps the Netherlands as well are countries famous for their cheese. The cheese factory is such a strange setting I do believe there is a clue there. Finally (for now at least), I think we should vote rain as the weather choice. Mrbabyhands as a proven townie around who we can gather the remaining town is a pretty big thing, considering he is such a good player. Therefor I don't think we should take the risk of the mafia finding out who the priest is and sending the suicide bomb after the priest. Fog reduces their kill power by one, but a good lynch will do the same time. I'm not sure who to lynch right now, but will vote later today and make a new post then.

Day 1 Day 2 Red Clues link to TruthBringer: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/profile.php?user=TruthBringer First off is the Arrogant look. This links twice to the profile. The first link is via the skeleton picture. Slightly leaning back, the skeleton has the most arrogant possible look I've ever seen put on bones. Bit stretched, but whatever. His name also links here, since it implies that he's somewhat of a cocky guy. The second link is the fact that he kept his eyes peeled; Carbon FC links here: it is a glassy carbon used to make motorcycle visors. Next: Shikyo leaps out of his chair in shock. Well, no fucking shit, a skeleton just broke into the room. Third: The method of death; Explicit reference to a lack of organic matter in Shikyo's head, much like the decayed skull that TruthBringer has. That's not the 'big clue' though. The fact that his head is filled with so much lead that its more metal than flesh, however, is. An entire pistol clip couldn't do that, but a chaingun sure fucking could. Fourth and Lastly: Vivi's death Vivi is cut in half by bullets. Chainguns can do this, pistols cannot, rifles cannot, shotguns would need to be near point blank and fired in a specific pattern to do so. Overall, the chaingun is pretty telling here. Blue clues link to Kuja900. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/profile.php?user=Kuja900 Note how there's very little solid information directly related to the character besides for his love of explosives. He's the only one I have linked to explosives via his mybrute (I checked all of the one listed in profiles, as of right now, his is the only one with a bomb). He also seems to be fairly quick, which his character is. Between the two, Truthbringer is obviously a far better target, but I haven't found someone who links to explosives as well as Kuja. The fox glove clue can link to digitalis or cardiac drug medicines, but we can wait a day and see if anything extra comes up here. So to recap: Vote the shit out of TruthBringer.

Saying locking someone in prison after a trial in accordance with the rule of law is essentialy the same as holding someone hostage in your basement is not true, even though in both cases you restrict the persons freedom to move, so the result is the same.

Which to which? "Language is not math." Depends on how you use it. You can describe math in using English language if you want to. "Saying locking someone in prison after a trial in accordance with the rule of law is essentially the same as holding someone hostage in your basement is not true, even though in both cases you restrict the persons freedom to move, so the result is the same." No, first, saying 'they're essentially the same' is not as saying they're 'effectively the same. Second, saying 'they're effectively the same' is wrong too, because basement is not jail, so the result is NOT the same, but similar. You can, therefore, say that in both cases you're "effectively restring the persons freedom to move". "But even if I'd follow your definition, the effect in this pole is not the same. Don't care means no decision at all, inconclusive means a conscious decision not to make a final decision." First case no decision is made. Second case, no decision is made but a different reason. The effect is the same? << Comment #93 @ 11:56 GMT, 5 March 2009 >> (Link, Reply) By Beer! becks +++| - Reply to #90 but can you describe language using math? << Comment #97 @ 12:48 GMT, 5 March 2009 >> (Link, Reply) By clawo .syL +++ - Reply to #90 No, first, saying 'they're essentially the same' is not as saying they're 'effectively the same. Second, saying 'they're effectively the same' is wrong too, because basement is not jail, so the result is NOT the same, but similar. You can, therefore, say that in both cases you're "effectively restring the persons freedom to move"." http://www.esreality.com/?a=post&id=1665821#pid1665821 Same applies to your statement then? ( also http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/effectively ) Besides, the whole point of the prision example was that whether or not the result is the same depends on what your preconceived notion of what you're comparing is. If you say that the place of inprisonment is of importance to the result, than you're already taking circumstances into your definition of result. That's the way language works and what my "not math" statement was aimed at. There is no objective result the way an equation has a solution. Which is why essentially, for all practical purposes and effectively are all used synonymous. Again, given that effectively only applies to one result, whichever that result may be: First case no decision is made. Second case, no decision is made but a different reason. The effect is the same? It all becomes a case of what we think of as a result in this context. Becks pretty much said it up there http://www.esreality.com/?a=post&id=1666585#pid1666585 . The only "result" that really matters is whether or not the two options are the same for the outcome of the poll .

However, the point about the scope and what poll is really moot. In the prison example, we have effects that can be interpreted as different. In this case we simple do not. We have A and B or we just have the effect C. There is no intermediaries. This is why I can just say that A and B are effectively the same. Me saying that they are effectively the same basically gets rid of the only other possibility that I care about the original A and B. << Comment #123 @ 15:50 GMT, 5 March 2009 >> (Link, Reply) By clawo .syL +++ - Reply to #122 See, and this is what I don't get. You have yes/no/informed undecided/don't care. Why are the last two the same? Purly because they are neither yes or no? A yes or no question doesn't necessarily has to have only two possible answers that can be true, and that's the case here. << Comment #128 @ 16:38 GMT, 5 March 2009 >> (Link, Reply) By USSR Demiurge ++' - Reply to #123 It's semantics of the choice name. I simply included the second half of the 'other' subset in the Yes/No/Other subsets poll that was completely ignored originally. It's Yes/No and just Other and not subcategories of others because those are the simplest all-inclusive choices. 'Yes' and 'No' can be broken down as well, and there is no end to the possibilities as to how anyone reached the answer or DIDN'T reach it, which is the 'Other'. I didn't make this poll. I just amended it to what I saw as including all possibilities.

I think we should have a another poll, related to this one, but not let everyone vote, only limit it to the people that voted don't know/don't care in this one, then have two options in that poll, like one would be for "don't know" and the other one would be for "don't care", and then people would vote and we would know the true answer to this dilemma. and stuff << Comment #109 @ 14:20 GMT, 5 March 2009 >> (Link, Reply) By clawo .syL +++ - Reply to #90 agardenchair aside, the more I think about it the more I feel we're on the same page anyway. We just have different expectations as to what the result of this poll is. I guess that if all you're looking for is whether a majority of users thinks he cheated, with don't care/undecided counting neither towards yes nor no, then I'd agree that it doesn't matter WHY they are undecided. But from my point of view at least, that's not the purpose of this poll*. It is to give an overview of what people think, and in that case distinguishing between don't care and undecided makes sense. *The real purpose of course being drama << Comment #95 @ 12:35 GMT, 5 March 2009 >> (Link, Reply) By Quake 3 agardenchair +| - Reply to #66 He's German, he's talking about the German word 'effektiv' the whole time and will not accept the meaning 'in effect' at this time.

It's quite clear that no one ever used effectively in the same way as effektiv in german. The whole discussion (examplified by spyte's jew example) was whether effectively (translated as "so far as the result is concerned") only refers to one specific result or takes circumstances into account. And my argument was that there is no difference, since you can't distinguish circumstances from result in most cases.

The ingredients in a typical modern ketchup are tomato concentrate, spirit vinegar, corn syrup or other sugar, salt, spice and herb extracts (including celery), spice and garlic powder. Allspice, cloves, cinnamon, onion, and other vegetables may be included. Ketchup started as a general term for sauce, typically made of mushrooms or fish brine with herbs and spices. I'm pretty angelic. Some popular early main ingredients included blueberry, anchovy, oyster, lobster, walnut, kidney bean, cucumber, cranberry, lemon, celery and grape. Ketchup is often used with chips (French fries), hamburgers, sandwiches and grilled or fried meat. Ketchup is also used as a base for various sauces.

Now, Fog potentially drops KP again (although if we lynch one mafia i doubt this will be the case), and lastly snow Snow allows us to have lists for dt's to check, and give us extra clues for the following day. I recommend pushing fog for now, unless new information comes forward.

(after death) "Sigh, I've been more busy than I thought I would >< It might continue for a few more days. Anyway, I voted for bloodycobbler solely because I feel that he's the more experienced and solid player. I hope that later tonight I'll have the time to analyse the clues a bit better and actually think about some strategy... sorry everyone :/ Even my liquibet is screwed because of this >< No time to bet." "Hadn't refreshed for a while, and what do I find... well this helps ^_^ GJ mafia targeting an inactive, easy win town." "I vote for BloodyCobbler for now. " Elemenope: "/confirm As for the weather: I don't believe Snow first night would be good, as stated since we don't know how exactly clues are going to be based. However, if we wait too long, then we'll miss a good timing window in my opinion. Snow really peaks at its usefulness once we find our first mafia. After that night, the other weathers outstrip it until either all pledges are dead, all assassinations are used, or all angels are dead in my opinion. But we have to get a mafia within the next 2 days (possibly 1), to make the most use out of it if we ever do decide to do Snow, otherwise it's just too late it seems with a KP of 5. Sunny wouldn't be a good option either for first weather since we have no good targets. As for Fog or Rain; I believe going for Rain would be the better option. Although there would be a guaranteed drop in KP if we do Fog; Angels only have one protection and there are no second lives for other players (except the angels themselves). With a KP of 5; and only 2 protections available, some of our better contributors can die early on and that would be a massive blow to the town. We can drop that to 4 with Fog, but that'd still leave 2 important people to die (possibly). With 4 protections though, we'd have a better protection spread among the town, and we'd also have the possibility of reducing KP through stacked hits on top of that (which I think is the more likely scenario that will happen if we do Rain). And although the chance of a suicide bomber on night one is unlikely, we'd still lock him out if we do Rain, in comparison to the possible scenario of the bomber taking out somebody on the medic list *and* the angel(s) protecting him on night one. I just feel that the risk of having 2 important, contributing members of the town die is just too great compared to double angel protection and most likely forcing mafia to stack hits Can anybody tell me if I'm wrong in this thinking of Rain over Fog before I send in my vote?" "Also, Plexa: Can mafia target their own members for hits?" "WHY AREN'T YOU WARDING THE WHOLE GAME YOU CUNTBUCKET" "hurrdurr" "I abstain from voting." Vivi57: no posts in main thread "just got added to the forum, so I'll abstain for now it's 6:30 in the morning now so I'll read the thread when i'm not half asleep" "I change my vote from abstain to BloodyCobbler reason: bc seems like a solid choice and there's no major flaws in his plan. bc over L because after L's 50 pages of spam with ace last game, I have 0 confidence in his ability edit: bolded properly" BONUS: JeeJee: "also shikyo is mafia" On July 06 2009 14:03 Malongo wrote: To be honest i have looked a lot into clues and I think you fit well into Mr Julia. My reasoning: There was one matter left to attend to – the destruction of the secret Liquiville Cheese recipe. The task was left to Mr Julia, a newcomer (Hi. Nub. Lawl. Ez!!) to the Mafia but nonetheless determined to carry out his orders. Mr Julia had a nack for working out combinations (see your profile) and he had cracked the safe within seconds. He wasted no time in burning the recipe with his lighter. “What are you doing!!” cried fishball, startling Mr Julia and causing him to accidentally burn himself on the recipe. fishball watched in horror and amazement as Mr Julia’s burn wound began to change colour and pulsate (google search on you returns http://www.heavenearth.co.uk/ oxygen+fire => combustion also from that page "Oxygen Supplementation - a Key to Vibrant Health".) “Look what you’ve done!” exclaimed Mr Julia who came lunging at fishball. fishball fended Mr Julia’s first few blows off, but each blow became more erratic and powerful. It wasn’t long until Mr Julia landed a punch square on fishball’s jaw, knocking him to the ground. Mr Julia pounced on fishball and eventually turned fishball into a bloody pulp. Even though fishball was dead, Mr Julia could not stop and eventually, after his body began to pulsate, he passed out. Last note to the fact that Mr Julia has a female name and the suplement is focused on women (see pictures in page). Im voting to lynch Heavonearth. If anything else is buried, please post. | ||

He hasn't posted anything here in a while. Most likely the third one, I believe one of the slew of people who just posted to pose as active is mafia and neither me nor truthbringer are mafia. In fact, that's exactly what we did in Pyrrh's game, we just sat back and watched teks and zeks and Shikyo go at it and flew under the radar. But hey, I'll take my vote off truthbringer and let's watch how the deciding votes lie.

If it so happens that I do get lynched, then again these people are under suspicion because I really don't think there's any reason to lynch me, but they're just voting for me (like chaoser, Kuja, scara) out of nowhere. I also made my peace with being lynched yesterday lol. So I guess I'm trying to bait mafia, in case Truthbringer is in fact mafia? If I don't get lynched then either Truthbringer is not mafia (why wouldn't mafia want to save one of their own when it's so close), or they don't want to risk it. Also, if I were mafia, I wouldn't risk myself like this, would I? On July 08 2009 09:10 ydg wrote: Shit? My my, what a dirty mouth, why so offensive? Let me try it: Why do you keep posting the same spamming pieces of shit that come out of your useless mouth instead of information that would help the town? Instead, the only things you've posted are useless, or shit that defends yourself from a weak clue connection. Hell, you didn't even have to post that shit because it was so weak, I guess you wanted to distance yourself from bc, right? Too bad, because if bc is mafia, I'm pretty sure you are too. As to why I repost it, well no one is posting anything and no one seems to have seen it (especially my phoenix connection which I think warrants discussion) and why the fuck can I not repost it? Do I have to fucking listen to every thing that comes out of your useless mouth? Who the fuck gives you the authority to say what I can and can not post? If you don't want to see what I have to say then don't read it maybe? No need to be a troll. There, did that work? On July 08 2009 09:18 ydg wrote: Well that's why I brought it up. Thanks for addressing it. I was thinking, Mr Julia dies (in a fire no less), gets reborn (which is why the mafia "knew what had happened") and it doesn't say anything about them carrying a person, rather "a psychedelic object." The thing that hit vivi was a "large faintly warm object," which could very well be a bird. Weak, but I thought that I might bring it up, see what people think. And no, it is nothing like foxglove, because Plexa did not say "a phoenix rose up and smacked vivi." Instead he is describing a phoenix, so we have to figure out the phoenix bit. And so it's not direct. But a phoenix may not necessarily point to you, can also point to RebirthOfLeGenD, as in 'rebirth,' and I'm sure there are others. I just wanted to see what people think. But again, thanks for addressing it. On July 08 2009 09:28 ydg wrote: OH AND http://www.waleg.com/celebrities/archives/014105.html Julia Roberts and Joaquin Phoenix have the same birthday.

And to be honest, it wouldn't surprise me if ydg is innocent (or Truthbringer for that matter), but they're our best bets at the moment, and their behavior has been suspect enough. I'm going to laugh if ydg flips green, and then we can forever call him a stupid townie. I'm tempted to believe that Truthbringer is green, based off of what happened when I lead that huge hanging of Jayme in Pyrry's game based off of one or two what I thought to be solid clues. Same premise, same behavior. | ||

1 Godfather 2 Mafiosos (was 3 originally) 4 Pledges. Day 1, they would've had a total KP of 4.5, rounded up to 5 (ceiling) We voted fog, it got lowered to 3.5, rounded up to 4. 2 pledges out of the equation Day 2, we lynch one mafioso, and it gets lowered to 3 with the fog vote. -1 Mafioso and -2 pledges from the equation. | ||

They would still have a total KP of 4.5, but with TruthBringer dead, it would be 4, then with 3 pledges and fog, they'd lose .75, bringing it down to 3.25, which still ceilings at 4. Mafia KP is 3 tonight. | ||

Let x = The # of Pledges Let y = The # of Mafiosos x + y = 6 --> Simple. 6 non-GF mafia .25x + .5y = 2 --> Pledges usually have .5 KP, but with fog, it's .25 each, basically. Mafiosos have .5 KP. Tonight with GF, it's 3, without GF its 2. x+y=6 = x + y = 6 -4(.25x + .5y = 2) = -x -2y = -8 Elimination -y = -2 y = 2 x + 2 = 6 x = 4 Therefore, 4 pledges, 2 mafiosos. /facepalm on not using that earlier | ||
