If you could just comb through your thoughts after each day/night cycle transpired. I'm very interested as to who you thought the God clues could have related to. They were pretty much directed at me, but I guess my combination of staying calmish while showing slight indignity and lots of feigned naivety sort of played out in my favor :D wtf you liar!! i sugested two hits on alventinenene1!!112 | ||

Chuiu and Dapperdan made a great job on those clues btw, I'd be out of ideas pretty quickly. Looking forward to the next game! | ||

-Since the games are smaller, it would be easier for the mods to pick out players who aren't participating. -We could also compare how setups play out in general, and thus everything I say will be VINDICATED AHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAhahem. In time, Watson. In time, they will come to heed my wisdom. | ||

Sorry but DapperDan and I both disagree with a lot of what you've said in terms of game balance and methods of running and operating the game. EDIT: Things I may do that I got as an idea from you or one of your rules: 1. Forcing players to be active by always voting (or abstaining) and replacing them if they aren't with people on the wait list. (unfortunately getting a large enough wait list may be more difficult in my games) 2. Uh, I can't remember, there was a #2 and possibly a #3 though. | ||

If many games are going to be run (and mafia is awesome in general, so I hope they are), then it's best to keep tabs on who signs up and doesn't, well, *play* for future reference. | ||

He has come to both Tracil (who I believe to be innocent) and my defense a few times. This leads me to believe Falcynn is safe, because if he was mafia, he would add to the flame and try to get either me or Tracil lynched. Instead he picked out clues that lead to lynching a mafia. And he didn't bandwagon jump either. If you look at the post, he was the 3rd to vote for unforgiven to be lynched. If it was mafia jumping on board, then he would be on of the last. So my list looks like this: Tracil - 9 ZaplinG Southlight Fen SiZ.FaNtAsY zdd MyHeroNoob 3/6 of these are mafia to me. That's 50% chance of getting a mafia, on RANDOM CHANCE. Here's the other list from Alventine's post: FakeSteve[TPR] - 11 Live2Win Southlight demonic_phate dancefayedance!~ dinmsab 1/5 is mafia. To me, it is 1/4 since I know I am medic... and hopefully you will too after my defense. Now, let's look at Day 6 clues: + Show Spoiler [clazziquai] + Clazziquai was sound asleep as the cold night persisted. He then began to dream fantastical dreams. His thoughts were not random, but rather quite the contrary. He found himself to be in a vast field. Mountains protruded the landscape in the distance. It was snowing heavily, however there was no snow on the ground. Every time a flake touched the green grass that covered the earth, it dissolved instantly. Clazziquai looked to the sky only to see a glorious sun and not a cloud or mark of fog in sight. As he changed his view from the sky to ground level it appeared to snow only heavier. A wind arose and the precipitation moved through the air at a much more horizontal pace. Clazziquai began to walk forward, although he was not yet aware of his destination. As he continued, he began to hasten his pace in hopes of some direction. Yet, the faster he moved forward, the more blurred his surroundings appeared. He could hear thunder permeating the air. He saw no lightning. And suddenly, he realized only a short valley lay between him and the foot of a majestic mountain. He stopped for only a moment, but when he decided to move forward once more, his wishes were not granted. Five feet of snow now encompassed his being and lay upon what seemed like the entirety of the earth due to his limited view. He wriggled and writhed in attempts to free himself from the glacial tomb that now began to form. In admittance of his failure, he stopped moving. And now what had been flurrying snow over the last few moments transitioned to hazardous hail. Throughout the experience clazziquai felt his circumstances to be real, and he felt the most tragic emotions in his evident demise. But yet, in view was another man on the horizon; a man riding on a snowmobile speedily approached. Clazziquai yelled with joy, and called for help elatedly. He assumed the man coming was his savior. Gradually though, clazziquai was less and less inclined to have faith in the path that his supposed savior traveled. He was now neck deep in a thick snow and only held onto hope to keep his sense aligned. But inevitably, his senses dissipated as the snowmobile savior took too straight and too fast a line to safely procure clazziquai from the snow. Directly on line for clazziquai's head at top speed, he continued forward; the savior was but a slayer. Clazziquai woke up in a frantic state. His limbs moved especially freely; they felt as if they had just been weighed down for a long while. His teeth shattered; he felt abnormally cold for what he could see on a nearby thermometer was a moderate night. Clazziquai noticed his head felt unusually detached in a moment just there after. Someone with the power to make dreams all too real ended clazziquai's life on this night. I'd like to emphasize on the last part. "Power to make dreams all too real"... Clazziquai seemed to have a crazy dream here, much like a.... FANTASY. This clue leads me believe it's pointing at SiZ.FaNtAsY. + Show Spoiler [Goldenkrnboi] + Goldenkrnboi found his home in his basement on this night. He walked in circles feverishly. His almost-robotic, and precise killer, which the town had previously known, waited, crouched in the darkness. Another killer peered through a window looking down into the pitch. With their means prepared, the mafia sprung. Goldenkrnboi was not at all prepared as bullets began their firing at his feet. He hopped and jumped around hectically, even though the thoughts already entered his mind that he was already a dead man. He tapped and trotted in his attempts to dodge the ill-angled bullets. All the while the other predator moved in closer. He slashed the victim at the ankles. He then made the deadly incision in goldenkrnboi's upper back. This man undoubtedly had the makings of a successful prototype model for a cold-hearted killer. The mafia seems to have a special liking of his feet. They shoot at it, and then take a swipe at his ankles. When you think feet, you think the bottom part, below, under.... SOUTH? A bit far-fetched, but this has me suspicious of Southlight. + Show Spoiler [randombum] + Swimmers could now be heard crossing the river, and randombum knew he was trapped. He rose to his feet and ran in the opposite direction of the man in the white coat along side the river with all his speed and might. One mafia was able to stay on his tail. As randombum ran, he could hear the man from behind him yell, "I'll save you! I promise!" with a hideously evil laugh following. It was at this time that randombum realized his own fate. He was exhausted as the term allowed. He could not outrun his chaser, and he was tackled from behind viciously in a matter of time. He was unhesitatingly choked until he could breath no more. But yet, in view was another man on the horizon; a man riding on a snowmobile speedily approached. Clazziquai yelled with joy, and called for help elatedly. He assumed the man coming was his savior. Gradually though, clazziquai was less and less inclined to have faith in the path that his supposed savior traveled. He was now neck deep in a thick snow and only held onto hope to keep his sense aligned. But inevitably, his senses dissipated as the snowmobile savior took too straight and too fast a line to safely procure clazziquai from the snow. Directly on line for clazziquai's head at top speed, he continued forward; the savior was but a slayer. The second quote is from clazziquai's death. Many have thought this pointed to me. I've explained my defense in a previous, so I'll instead try to point at someone else from the list. MyHeroNoob. If you think about, it's pretty obvious. Both situations he is suppose to be the "savior", the "hero"... but he turns out to be mafia. Also, it matches with the trend of previous hints. Hints have usually referred to someone's ID or signature, not their actions or posts. This leads me to point my finger at MyHeroNoob. Now my next and last one goes all the way back to Day 1. + Show Spoiler [Day 1 & 2] + Chuiu had just finished writing his speech to be given out the following morning in the town square before the time for festivities of love when he heard the terrible roar of noise and footsteps. Evening fell on Liquidia and this Valentines day was one not to be forgotten. These two clues had us looking at Valentine and Romance_us. I put this aside for awhile, but I think it is time to look at it against since Romance_us is now dead, and flipped townie. <hr> So who do I vote for then? The mafia likes to bandwagon and lynch a fellow mafia who they know is going down to save their ass. So let's take a look at the mafias who we know got lynched. Unforgiven_ve - 15 Fen Vharox MyHeroNoob Live2Win dancefayedance!~ zdd Eti307 Of this list, MyHeroNoob and zdd both were the last few to vote for Unforgiven_ve, and are on the list of suspects. Meanwhile, southlight was on both FakeSteve's and Tracil's list. He also has a clue here that points to him, in my opinion. MyHeroNoob zdd southlight valentine I vote to lynch MyHeroNoob 3 out of 4 of these guys were actually Mafia!!! ARGHGHH!!! | ||

The mafias voting patterns for the last couple of votes and the ones that were going to come were to wipe out voters. A huge number of non-voters does nothing for the town because mafia will target voters to gain control. To counteract this, I would like mafia to have the same disadvantage. Every mafia choses a person they wish to go after. It still takes 2 mafia to make a kill, but if you dont give in your attack for the night, then you dont get to kill anyone. Still requires coordination from Maifa. Also, could the cycles please be done at spefic times. I checked every now and then, but was never sure of when it was going to be night and day. It would be better if we had an exact time that the game would update (I know thats a crap deadline for you chuiu, but its much easier for the players) | ||
