xanic said:

you guys seriously can't pick up hints from me at all ;_;

LucianRoy said:


I think xanic's a dude.

xanic said:

I think so to.

I may be wrong.

LucianRoy said:


I would recommend checking just to be sure.

Mikiuza said:
You guys running around a bush? Don't think the gender matters here in finding the mafia eh?

Mikiuza said:
Okay if only one santa outted I might have thought of a good strategy.

Agree on one person who you guys want to investigate on. Everyone will be on the role investigated, including the lookout. Doctor, be on whoever you think is the most clear. I THINK THAT THE COPS CAN INVESTIGATE THEMSELF

Still doesn't solve today's lynch but this can be for tonight.

LucianRoy said:


UK already told us they can't do that. And I might recommend re-reading the thread before drifting off to sleep.

Mikiuza said:
Lucian, who were you on last night

Mikiuza said:
I'm out no use with only crickets here.

xanic said:

Mikiuza said:
So if anyone comes in this thread. Tell me which three you think is mafia.

Pyro if you read this again, pick three who you think is mafia.

One question for you Zurel, why did you vote for NeonPanda day one?

LucianRoy said:

Sheeping is when you join in on a vote train for a certain individual without giving adequate reason of your own to vote that individual.

Zurel said:
Ahh, I have heard that borough question from the British show QI, but forgot the answer.

Ever watched that show, Lucian? I love it!

I seem to be on at all the times today when the thread is dead... Oh, well...

Grave- I don't know about the possibility of her being Jester, but I've already explained I don't buy her being the vig.
Xanic- Vote changes with no explanation
Karrote- Being the last one to vote Panda very quickly.

LucianRoy said:


eh

Smurphinator said:

You'd think that if Grave was a what she hints she is, she also would have been paying attention to these nods to her role and commented on them a bit earlier on.


I don't buy this being a placeholder vote. I already had one vote against me, so if she had been trying just to put a vote out there, she would have done it to someone who didn't have one already to even things out. Skewing the votes as a placeholder makes no sense.


Xanic changes his vote pretty randomly. Originally, he and Grave both had the same random lynch choice, but then he votes Grave upon very slight provocation. This could either be a sign of him being a sheep, but since he put in one of the first lynches, this seems unlikely, and leads me more to think he was trying to overshadow the fact that his and Grave's lynches previously aligned.


Grave starts it after she gets online. Seems pretty reasonable she would vote for him, given that she was accused on the first day. May have been a bit defensive, but, eh... I'm sure some of the "cops" followed that request, part of the reason for my ambivalence.


Since Xanic had the aforementioned weird voting going on earlier, it was likely that this vote was to pressure Xanic, especially since it didn't actually change the fact that it still left x_at_home and Grave tied.


Zurel fails to realize Panda's previously mentioned motives since they weren't super obvious. I don't think he was doing it to be scummy.


And then Karrote comes on last minute and puts in the extra vote to lynch Panda. Which seems pretty sketchy.

Verdict: I'm ambivalent on Grave. On the one hand, her hints seem pretty well placed, and her original motives for getting Panda not too out of place either, but it was exact opposite of what I thought of her coming in this phase. Karrote seems fishy for jumping in like that, and Xanic's weird vote change makes me uneasy, since he never gave a reason or foreshadowed he was going to do either vote. Don't quote me on anything, though, since I'm terrible at analysis. I just figured I should put in my two cents since the thread has been awfully quiet aside from the saturation of Lucian's posts.

LucianRoy said:
That was your reason? Talk about gut-feel. lol. That's a pretty good catch. I've been in too many games with Day1 joke votes to notice them anymore.

Smurphinator said:


So much for sleeping, huh?

LucianRoy said:
Soon, I'll prove mah claim. Once I actually remember to send my night action.

Smurphinator said:
One question for you Zurel, why did you vote for NeonPanda day one?
