Ok... Yes I am Spacedaisy. I did not make a big attempt to hide that fact, it would have been readily evident by seeing when I ws signed into both forums. And I am sure my normal way of posting could show through. So good job TH! The only person I had figured out from LP was Capricasix. Oh I take that back I figured alterego was LoRab. Did we hear who Slinky is? I was guessing Long Con, but I didn't really know. Turnip Head and Little Tiger had me bamboozled completely! LOL, LT you are always serious, you never make me chuckle... I was seriously laughing at some of your posts! Ok, thoughts on the game. Somone said they put the blamje for Mafia winning squarely on my shoulders. Good deal. I wasn't a Townie after all, so it's not like I cared if Mafia or Civvies came out on top, I was just hoping to get lynched. I did a rather poor job of it too. What no one seemed ot notice is when someone threw out the possibility that they believed someone was VI, I was usually voting that way. And I tried to rush into my votes, which is not normal behavior from any of the LP crowd, but it does not elicit the same response here. Seems I can garner plenty of suspicion when I am Civvie, but good luck intentionally getting myself lynched. Now regarding the game... I am going to attempt to be as diplomatic about this as I possibly can. Playing here has made me really appreciate getting started over in LP and The Piano. The reason for this is because there is a different attitude and approach over there that seems ot be quite lacking here. Even when we are going hard after each other we still treat each other with respect. I am not saying everyone here is disrespectful of each other, but there was way too much insulting, condescension and back biting at times in my opinion. I don't understand why. This is after all a game. I have to say to CG, hello kettle, meet pot. You complained about people on both sides calling names and then turned around and said we all played a feeble game except Kahlan/LT. I'm glad she impressed you so much, but I felt that was rather uncalled for. And just one example of some of the poor sportsmanship I have noticed in this game. And I am not so much referring to the fall out at the end when the Mafia outed themselves as I am to the over all tone I saw from the get go. I am sure you are all great people, and probably pretty kind and friendly overall. Perhaps you should reconsider the way you speak to each other during a mafia game. Even when we are going hard after someone we believe is a Baddie, it rarely takes the tone I have seen here. As a result, I doubt I would play another game here. But if you wish to check out one of our games, feel free. I'm sure we'll all do what we can to make you welcome and hopefully you can embrace the friendly atmosphere I have now learned to truly appreciate about LP Mafia. I thought it was a great game, and well played Mafia! Also well played Soy, Goltar and WM. Especially your attempt to stop the Mafia at the end. You all had to be the MVPs for the Civvies, lol. Both sides did great! Sorry Maati that I sucked so badly at being a VI!

Oh and why did you all try to recruit me? I'm flattered!

BTW, my name was not chosen intentionally to seem masculine. That was inadvertent, but I didn't see any need to correct it, especially since I had not disclosed my gender previously. Not like anyone could know that unless they knew me. I just love the character Eugene Wrayburn from Our Mutual Friend, thus the user name. And the avatar is an illustration from the book as well.

FH,
- Posting and participating is not the same in my book. - When I said you lynched Nac first, I meant "first" as in "before trying to lynch Kahlan, Cap or me". - I specifically asked you to defend yourself with some arguments, instead of repeating what you said before. After which you repeated what you said before. There's no contradiction there. - Yes, I think Nac played better than you. That's not intended as a personal insult; I'm sure you're a nice guy in RL and all. If you want to think it is then I can't stop you. But I consider game-related criticism a part of mafia games. - I never said you were confusing.

Oh and why did you all try to recruit me? I'm flattered! Because we knew you were either Shinny or SpaceDaisy We thought you might have been the assassin after the altergo kill and when we couldn't recruit you, we decided that you were too dangerous so ....... we offed you ;D I am so glad that I made you laugh! I had fun being Kahlan and I quite like her.... I thought Slinky was Zelda But I am not so sure now.... On a serious note, I concur with what you wrote - I echo your sentiments but was unable to address it since I might not have been quite so diplomatic, thus remained silent on the issue other than my small comment.

I think it is truly hysterical that you thought I was Shinny! Considering how things went with us in Bigs/Seals Lost Mafia, lol. She would probably get a chuckle out of that as well. But I really do consider it a compliment too. She is an excellent player.

@ Goltar The first day that someone suggested the doctor or nurse come out I waited and watched and left it to the last minute to send my PM to Jason. People were saying too late the TD probably already sent PM to Jason and there was probably a good 15 hours left. It made sense that the TD would wait as long as possible for clues before sending in the PM. If you had come out that day we would have had an extra name and maybe would have lynched one less townie. If. I know it would have been quite bad if you came out and I did not get the PM in and you got NK - there would be no sobering up and a sacrifice wasted. The names I got were fairly useful at first: SCL is mafia Alter Ego is/was mafia The mysterious stranger picked mafia Nothing - I was blocked The mysterious stranger picked mafia - the last days reveal was a duplicate. The doctor clues. In one of your posts at the time you were saying you would be leaving a clue you said go back to post 115 and read everything before and after. The post immediately before 115 was slinky and the one right after was Muzzz. So I copied and pasted all of your posts into a document and studied them. The only person in all those posts that I noticed that you came right out and called by name was one where you said that's right, Muzzz ;D Now maybe that was cheesy and obvious but it was what I found. So the whole game I am thinking Muzzz is scummy beyond belief or he is the doctor. My daughter, my sister, my daughter, my sister SLAP!! Townies I believed were: Wrayburn, Firehorse, slinky, Goltar Mafia I did not believe were: Starman (right out of the gate) Kahlan, Muzzz, Capri, SCL I was already saying WTF on the precision voting and then I got his name. Confusing: Water_moon, Merlin, OTH, CG.

But I consider game-related criticism a part of mafia games. Exactly - name calling and belittling someone when you are trying to get them lynched is the game but what are you trying to achieve when they are dead and out of the game and not allowed to respond? It is just a game - continuing on someone after you got them lynched makes no sense.

But I really do consider it a compliment too. She is an excellent player. As are you, SD, as are you! I think you both have similar elements to your styles, tbqh, which is why guessing who Wrayburn was came down to you and Shinny. When I called you Shinny earlier and saw your response, it had to be only you...Spacedaisy I do think we need to try something like this at The Piano - it is fun to be someone else. Also, it makes the game more interesting.

Regarding our imports.
So many of you female. It is really different.
Around here W_M and I are in the minority.
We may have to travel over to play some pink mafia. ;D

@soy: it was you who first mentioned the possibility that whatever-role-it-was-we-were-talking-about might have gotten lynched. To which I responded with "Nac wouldn't do that. I wouldn't stake money on FH, but he probably wouldn't either." In my mind that was a relevant, game-related comment. slinky: I'm curious, who were your two guesses?

I started the game thinking I could be a true seer pretty easily relatively early. I knew I was going to conservative with my guesses. I wasn't even going to consider sending in a guess unless one was a lynched mafia to be sure I had at least one. Lynching 3 civvies in a row did not help. I was starting to think about risking it when slr came out. I had been planning on using alterego for awhile, but I needed a pair, and slr coming out with names worked well enough. Kahlan and OTH were my choices the next 2 nights.
I'm having so much fun hearing about who I might be, I kind of don't want to say!
