Mafia #33 - Bruce Campbell Vs. Army of Darkness

I have never seen the word "analog" used to mean "version" or "copy". I did think that Ogre was refrencing the Detective or saying something about the Detective role. I am unsure about using analog in this way. Maybe he meant analogy, but still am unsure of its use. I think Ogre is a teacher and might just be making us look up words.

It stems from the word analogy (such as a crash test dummy is an analog of a human being). I could go search an online dictionary, but it really isn't worth the effort.

OK, so I did take the two minutes to find an online dictionary, and look up the word. Here's the pertinent definition;
Something that bears an analogy to something else: Surimi is marketed as an analogue of crabmeat.
And if you're reeeeeally curious, here's the link to the online dictionary.

Good Morning!
 

The post counts might be important, but did you take out all the fluff posts. At least a third of LGs are 'LMAO'

Sorry but what's a det analog?

This game's equivalent to the detective. I was just being lazy and not looking up the first post to see what the detective is called this time.

On further reflection, it seems even less likey that RB is the detective, any detectiving that he had done the first night (the cat lynch) would be invalidated because of the new EA. He wouldn't be able to trust any 'old information.

It's a det that has to upgrade soon or lose signal?

You are absolutely correct and I thank you for thinking into things. It seems to me that not many are right now. If the innocent with the Necronomicon was turned, they already have it and we're screwed.

Har, Har

Unless RB has the Necronomicon. That would explain him trying to save himself. There's almost no point in using the book now. Hmm....

Perhaps I'm being fooled big time by Daddy-O, but I just don't see him acting the way he did if he was EA. While his actions are questionable, I would rather go for someone who I think could be the EA. If I were the EA I would sit back and post just enough to get by. How would everyone else play?

Oh, I would play the same, but we aren't the ones in contention here (well, you are to a degree because you're defending RB). ANYONE could be the new EA, that's the point.

Everybody's focus is on "Why, RB, why?" It's never good to have too narrow a focus. If people want to leave their votes on RB that's fine, but we might want to ask questions of a few others as well between now and nightfall. I'm not entirely sure what those questions should be but we should try thinking of some.

I agree with HN that the first priority should be finding EA. I'm pretty sure by the fact that I'm still here that neither RB nor G were the EA. That doesn't mean that one of them wasn't turned later but ACville's most wanted is EA not the turns. Taking out EA prevents future turns.

I would like to hear from Jensons as she has been accused by a couple but still remains silent. I still think that after the Cat fiasco the new EA would want to keep a low profile and is likely a low poster. If the Cat portion of this game is any indicator isn't Jenson's overdue for one of her helpful posts.

Oh, I agree that we shouldn't concentrate on one or two players, but we always do. Usually, it's the people that do the most talking and they're almost always innocent.

Chill, I have to say that you just made one of the blandest posts ever. That may not be a bad thing, but you made three statements that are so vanilla it almost makes me think you want to hide in plain sight.

Good Morning!

I hear LadyG is making pancakes or waffles



My list to this point:

EA II - RB (probably), very low probability of chill or BKW

The turn - LadyG, chill, Plantling, very low probability of hooked

I have a few thoughts on the ash and botanist, but I won't post them in case (in one of my rare moments of brilliance) I'm right.

In conclusion, RB is probably NOT the detective (ash) and still really hasn't made what I consider a good explanation for his actions. He gave a very detailed account of what happened, but just to get information is bull cookies.
 
Nope, Ogre, I got what I felt is good info, but it may all be hog wash (bull cookies).

I like you...from your post above...won't pass some stuff on.
 
Why would the lone evil not like you tying it up?

What power role was endangered by tying things up?
The lone evil would try their best to force a lynch and not like a tie unless they were the leading vote getter. This is a scorched earth format. The evils need to get all the innocents dead or turned before they win. Their goal would be to try to lynch an innocent every night as well as turn/kill one. There was only 1 evil when RB pulled his stunt. So it's not like he was trying to save a fellow evil. If someone tries again to force a tie now that there are more than one then I would worry a bit more.

I think the way nightfall enfolded RB may have thought LG and/or Hooked and/or Chill were a power role. I think that's why when LG questioned him about his initial observation, he thought she could be evil again because a PR would not put more light on themselves by questioning it. That's just the impression I got. Maybe RB will enlighten us?

Actually yes...Here's how I have it

RB (6) - HN, LG, Ogre, Dawg, JL66, BKW, DD

LG (1) - Pix, Cap

Jensons (3) - Chill, Plant, HN

HN (0) - BKW
This is what I have, too. Nice job Dawg. You're doing quite well. It was far from my first game before I ever started posting the vote count. But that makes me worried about you somehow, LOL.

And Pix I think you may want to rethink your vote on G if nobody else goes there. It's kinda anti town to be sitting alone on someone two nights in a row. I understand your suspicions on her as well, though I am more concerned about Jensons right now.

This post really concerns me.

1) Defending RB again. Plant, it's not like we have anything to go on here. The only thing we're doing by not lynching someone is letting the evils have a larger group to hide in. Plus, they have a larger field of potential targets and the good/guy team has a harder time figuring anything out (because no information from each night can be trusted, since anyone can be turned).

2) Rb can think anything he wants (he obviously does), but starting the turn of events that he did (and G and hooked continued) caused a whole lot of crap that we have to wade through that doesn't get us anywhere.

If he had said, I think we need to not lynch someone and tied the vote and we all agreed, that would be one thing. But the last minute switch, with no explanation, which started a long confused sequence... that's anti-town.

3) So pix can't vote for who he thinks is evil? That's anti-town? I happen to think that LadyG is more than a little suspicious as well and with something useful from RB, might consider changing my vote to her.

4) Someone, for Pete's sake, tell me what is up with all the Jensons stuff.

LOL, No I didn't consider any fluff posts as this is straight from the "who posted" list. Yep G sure can post. But I believe she's like that in most games. RB on the other hand has stepped up his posting. Yet that may be due to the long weekend when the game started.

Anyone could be the EA, but I'm gonna go who I feel fits the bill the best.

My list for most likely EAII is a bit different: Jensons, BKW, G, DD, Pix, JM.
This is due to their suspicion levels before Cat went down and posting style if Z's were to have hand picked EAII.

My list of ppl most likely turned is: Ogre, DD, BKW, Pix, HN, JL, JM, Dawg, and Cap. These pple were in little trouble before nightfall and can be elusive evils. No particular order as it depends on who EAII is. JMO.

I never got the impression that RB claimed to be the detective. And I know I'll catch alot of flak for my supposed protection of him, but it's just the way I really feel. Like I said maybe he's snowing me. But I have no reason to protect him other than the fact that I don't think he's EAII and prolly not a turn either. I'll take the heat for all my actions if he is lynched and proven evil.

Sorry to concern you so much but I don't think EAII is as concerned with having a big pool to hide in as ridding said pool of any and all innocents they can at every opportunity.

So RB muddled the waters, and I had to wade thru the same crap before nightfall as everyone else. And while I think it's a "dastardly" move on his part, I'm not gonna hang him for it when I don't believe him to be evil.

Pix can vote for who he wants to, but if night comes along and he's the only one on G, it won't look good for him. Although I do find G suspicious also, atm not alot of pple are looking at her.

And it concerns me just a little that you don't find Jensons the least bit suspicious. Her late vote onto Chill the highest vote getter without first reading all the post doesn't bother you? Hmmm.
