    You never know there could be some sort of disorder or attention issue at play aside from intentional laziness... just giving him the benefit of the doubt...so he isn't completely discourage from playing in the future.

    If you cannot read then phalla may not be for you.

    People are free to keep playing and noobing it up, but I'm free to call people on it.

    So I am personally very torn between Arivia and ShadowThomas.

    Arivia's differing win condition does seem rather strange, but I don't know if it is enough to really vote for her. There was just no reason for her to say that her win condition's wording didn't align exactly with what was stated if she was indeed mafia. Why would she call that attention to herself? But it is really hard to get past the differing win conditions.

    On the other hand, I find ShadowThomas's voting to be pretty suspicious so far. Yesterday he was right in the middle of the simonwolf bandwagon, right about where it really started to pick up steam and get out of control. Today, he started out on the 3clipse wagon towards the end and then hopped onto the adventfalls bandwagon. To me, it does seem like he's trying to blend in with his vote.

    My guy right now is telling me ShadowThomas, and I like to go by my gut.

    Ok, I would hate to for Arivia has I would like to see our Rivalry end, but she's only been mafia in Burnage Phallas, so I'm thinking that if she doesn't have to save the ship (If we are all on the ship, doesn't that mean the mafia are suicide bombers as they die with this thing crashes? Not smart on the mafia's planning process...) then the vote on Arivia is a good one. Possibly. Maybe. AHHH, who knows...

    Heheh true, I think I've had enough experiences with minor disorders and such that I view them more as quirks or eccentricities as opposed to innately negative.

    Also, why I am thinking about it: Let's have a doctor heal Advent and see if it's a sickness that someone can spread. Voting for him seems silly when we have such a great experiment here.

    I think the vote for advent is somewhat unfounded, since he's just acting on a post restriction which he has asked to have lifted multiple times.

    Arivia has said her win condition isn't to keep the airship afloat, making her much more dangerous to the village.

    Several people have pointed out why ShadowThomas is acting a little bit suspicious.

    I think either one of those votes would prove to be more fruitful than the advent vote.

    !Arivia, for not, apparently, wanting to keep us in the sky.

    about my semi-suspicious day one vote: I didn't link to my rng roll as I considered that under the purview of the general (no screenshots) rule. It that is actually considered kosher, I'll be happy to do it in the future. (though I usually don't rng)

    I should stop trusting hearsay.

    Going by this, the Arivia vote is silly too. ShadowThomas may be the one people want to focus on, since his voting has been entirely bw related.

    ok, so we have a new working theory then, right?

    the ACMW are un-networked, and want to save the ship, but outnumber the nobles
    the nobles are un-networked, and want to save the ship, but outnumber the ACMW
    the robots are back, probably networked, and trying to destroy our vessel.

    if this is the case, we just need to tweak the analysis a bit. we cant use it to find ACMW (we will find them eventually), but we can still use it for robot hunting.

    im going back to what i said earlier.

    oaklore
    hotran
    shadowthomas
    delmain

    pushed simon from 2nd place (ebfan was in first) to a healthy lead.

    g_r
    that dave fella
    samurai
    jedi
    3clipse

    voted for the clear leader.

    personally, i feel that hotran is the most suspicious. his minimal day 1 presence and pushing the simon wagon, followed by his more verbose day 2 vote earlier pinged my radar hard. almost like he was a member of a proboard, and his fellow members were coaching him. however, i find that shadowthomas is a close second, and already has votes on him. this i like.

    furthermore, jdarksun, you are not clear of my wrath yet. mafia action regarding spreadsheeters is independent of games. no group of mafia is going to think the same as another. now, if you are human and not robot, they may keep you alive to keep me looking in your direction. so you can thank me for that.

    And i'm playing like I always do the first few days. I try to blend in because i'm paranoid and think everyone's out to get me.

    This is pretty much the theory I am working on, old chap. Although I am not assuming that the mafia are necessarily Automatons. They could be some arbitrary other thing. Not that it matters in the least.

    Ok, well, let me try my hand at some post analysis.

    Infidel began the game by basically claiming to be a robot.

    Then, early today he announced his suspicions of 3clipse. Probably not something he can be faulted for, considering how many people went along with it.

    And then when a couple of people had voted for arivia on account of distrusting the win condition disparity, Varcayn was the first to call it a "different win condition," and Infidel followed that up by taking it a step further and saying that it didn't align with the village.

    Plus, if Infidel is mafia, he's dangerous as fuck.

    Ok, I'm reconsidering my earlier vote for !adventfalls now — outing oneself when partially wounded already does seem a bit strict of a posting restriction. Assuming there is a doctor capable of healing him, I suppose we might be able to learn more once the posting restriction wears off. Between the two bandwagons going right now, I guess I'm more swayed by the argument for shadowthomas, but would also like to see a count if one is possible.
