Mafia XVII: A Call To Arms Night 14

[dl15]

Hah, I was gonna point that out as soon as we got to 1,800

There's only one game in which I had more posts than in this one so far ... The 4400 >__>

[TokyoRose]

Dammit! RIP OA and Rabbit.

Why dammit?

Oooooooh! I get it, Long Con and Black Rock are LOST references.

*gives DC a gold star* Most of us nuts originated from a Lost board and kept our Lost screenies.

Maybe the Abomination isn't a serial killer in the classic sense? After discussing the "missing" kill and the insanification of Typh, my mind immediately went to that one secret role from Sco's Mafia 2099 game... you know, the one that the Terminator killed? He got a list of roles and identities and was able to send messages, so he was supposed to use this info to get other people to do the killing for him... this might not be exactly the same thing since there aren't a whole lot of roles in this game, but I'm thinking that the SK mechanic might be something out-of-the-box here.

I expected him to kill too but yeah, it's a thinking out-of-the-box game so something like this may be in play.

Jska I am sorry about your friend, I hope she gets better. Though I'm finding your posts quite odd, as I stated earlier. Maybe its the fact that you dont have all that much time, but you seem to be pushing for the dl lynch and arent really giving all that much substance to it, and there is the whole thing about dl accusing you right before the end of the last lynch, and now you're going full guns back in his direction.

This is typical Dom, he has a suspicion and does not let it go until he is proved right or wrong. I know from experience.
Hope your friend gets better soon Dom.

Was this the secret event?

What could have triggered it?

It said in the np that a vanilla civvie had been recruited by Archangel......probably this is it?

As for suspicions, I'm looking at SVS because of her weird Frex stuff...sorry SVS, I know you've tried to explain it and wish you'd never mentioned it but it's not sitting right with me.

And SD brought up a good point about Ward. DC has also gone very quiet.

Now off to look at the glowing decoding thingymajig which I will be no use at and will give me a headache.

[TokyoRose]

Well......I looked at the coding thingy and only see a frame thing....nothing else. Not sure what the heck I'm supposed to do with that.

[aapje]

Linkitis: My nickname used to be aapje the hemorrhoid

That's actually a bit milder than some of the nicknames I've used for you over the past year and a half, dear nemesis.

Now I will be wondering what those are

@Typhoony: While I agree with you that I would be a logical pick to be recruited since I am awesome and all that, I am still very much vanilla

[TokyoRose]

[dl15]

Well......I looked at the coding thingy and only see a frame thing....nothing else. Not sure what the heck I'm supposed to do with that.

I tried randomly clicking all over the place ... no luck

[Kadaj]

Well......I looked at the coding thingy and only see a frame thing....nothing else. Not sure what the heck I'm supposed to do with that.

if you click on those lights at the bottom the frame shows some weird symbols, though dunno how we're supposed to decode that.

[TokyoRose]

Ah, thanks Kadaj. I tried clicking in a few places and got fed up. Are the symbols some kind of old language or something...computer code....I'm rambling now....*goes to look herself*

Between this and the riddle on RM, I am not going to have a headache free day.

[aapje]

As for there being no Abe kill, maybe Erlatz abducted him?

@Hosts: Were there any missing PM's?

[Black Rock]

Nope.

What about my explanation did not sound right to you? It was sincere, because it was the truth. I am very much a civvie, and Frex is always a valuable civvie, and and I was hoping to keep her that way, and to keep her from getting lynched wrongly, IMO. I am not sure what is so suspicious about that

Enlightened One

If the Enlightened One is lynched, there will be two nights. If the Enlightened One is night-killed, there will be two days. If the Enlightened One is abducted, they get a free role check.

Oooooo~ Yay for the Enlightened One~!

Right now, to be honest, I am still looking at dl15. While I agree that switching up his game would be a good thing, I also think that he is no noob, and is very aware of what he is doing. Plus he isn't claiming he is switching it up. It is very much my experience that dl plays a very detached civvie game, and a very active baddie game. The opposite of most people, TBQH. And he gets killed on Day One for it quite often. But I no longer vote for him on Day One because that is his civvie game; I even defend him for it (because when I am civvie, I like to defend people I think are civvies~ go figure ).

I am seeing the total opposite of that here. I am seeing baddie Eko. I could be wrong, but unless things change, that is likely where my vote is going. I never understodd the mindset that each day is a new, clean slate. dl was suspicious to me yesterday, and still is today. I have to admit that I just skimmed MEGAPOST, but because i am still suspicious of him, I will bite the bullet and read the whole thing, lol~ it is possible he said in there that he was trying to change his game. If he did, i may look differently at him. But if he didn't, I still think i am seeing Bad Eko~

As for there being no Abe kill, maybe Erlatz abducted him?

@Hosts: Were there any missing PM's?

Ooo, good point~ @ Hosts~ Can The Abomination BE abducted?

Rayjgfebhoo Orrapf Usingca Heskybioheadac!

[Freckles]

Oooooooooooooh! That is interesting!
*runs to the first page*
*trips and falls out of thread*

I snorted

:lol: well yeah if you remove the ability to read it or copy it into a text editor...would that be cruel or just a challenge?

Ware the flavour of the words you speak, lest you are compelled to eat them later.

*swoon*

linkitis: WIFOM (which does come from Princess Bride, but I won't tell you to watch it...even though you should...) stands for Wine In Front Of Me. It's when a player does the opposite of what is expected and/or does something "that a baddie would never do" for the sake of doing exactly that.

Lemme 'splain... No, there is too much; lemme sum up.

Dammit! RIP OA and Rabbit.

Why dammit?

Dammit because I'm fairly certain OA was town and I luff her.

Can you give a quick rundown of the SVS thing? I can't remember how that went down.

[Long Con]

[linkback]59793[/linkbackOoo, good point~ @ Hosts~ Can The Abomination BE abducted?

Sure, I can't see why not. Horrific as the Abomination is, it's still just a player like the rest of you.

[S-V-S]

@ Frex~ I was defending you, lol~ I said you were a sucky baddie, and everyone knows it, and have been taking flak for it ever since.

Because apparently everyone does NOT know it. And me saying so was outlandishly suspicious~

If you vote for me for defending you, I'll never talk to you again~

Linki @ Host~ Thanks LC

[Tranquility]

Well......I looked at the coding thingy and only see a frame thing....nothing else. Not sure what the heck I'm supposed to do with that.

Coding thingy?

[LoRab]

Damn. I've learned to almost understand the usual insanity generator. At least there's people who can translate this one (but it's morning, so I'm not awake enough to figure it out yet.

Nice thought. Especially since LC had that role. I could see him wanting to bring that role into another game...he's done that with roles in his own games before (Willow Rosenberg) that he was excited for but died early.

And look what happened with her...

[Freckles]

@ Frex~ I was defending you, lol~ I said you were a sucky baddie, and everyone knows it, and have been taking flak for it ever since.

That's what I thought. What I don't get is how you are suspicious for that. Didn't she say she wasn't suspicious of me? Then why be of you for stating what is a fact?

I think a more appropriate statement would be that I suck at mafia, I am just particularly transparent as a bad guy.

[Flyin High]

Wow, I just tried to catch up and my brain went all fuzzy with all of the posts.

First, because I don't think I've said it yet, RIPIYWG OA and Rabbit--I'm guessing both of you were vanilla civvies based on roles available at this point.

I think I need to take time today to do a slow reread of the last few hundred posts.

[Zelda]

Goddammit. I am only at the top of page 39 and I know there'll be a ton more. Sadly, I have to pack up my life and go to the airport. If I can find some wifi there, I'll check in.

As for Long Con - I always see it in lower case... long con. Going for the long con. (; Heee. Because, srsly, that man would be capable of it. I knew Black Rock was a Lost reference. I didn't know about Long Con....

[boone18]

Dammit. Thought I'd be able to catch up this morning, but I still have a page to go...but I have to leave for a family reunion. I will catch up in a few hours.

[Freckles]

Wow

Goddammit

Dammit.

And look what happened with her...

Well, the first time, Kadaj killed her. The second time, she became evil and won!!!!

[LoRab]

@Wonderful hosts whom I love ever so much: Can future lynch polls have a close time on them, for those of us who tend to lose track of such things? Please?!!!!

[Black Rock]

I'm fixing it this evening.

Okay, so like I said before.... we can look at the source code of the site, amirite? That might have something revealing.... and could those symbols simply be a font... a la Wingdings? <_<

aapje's assessment's as accurate as an apt analogy.

It is made in Flash - you don't get to see behind the scenes at the code of Flash stuff like you do with HTML. You just get to see the .swf file name.

[Tranquility]

I've looked into the source code of the site...and what i saw...was beautiful

[Canucklehead]

Hi there, Tranq.
Care to respond to the aspersions cast upon yourcharacter during the last lynch cycle? Or are you content to spend the game making slightly witty comments at odd intervals?

[stlgirl]

So it, uh, seems.

That's the plan

That's the plan

Upset that you were recruited against your will Night 0?? How sad for you.
Is your team really that awful that you're doing your best to sabotage them?

I haven't been recruited.

Don't you like my defense?

There is nothing to see, as LC already said.


Here is what I can offer about the encoding. Firstly, it appears to be a substitution cipher. Each symbol is a letter, the same symbols are the same letter. It is most likely read top to bottom, left to right. I am guessing that because it appears like the role name is in the top left and the margins indicate that it starts on the top. The symbols appear to be a mix of several alphabets, I see at least Greek and Hindi or maybe Farsi. I'm going to try and transpose it to English characters later, but I've got to go to work now.

[Illyria]

Well......I looked at the coding thingy and only see a frame thing....nothing else. Not sure what the heck I'm supposed to do with that.

I tried randomly clicking all over the place ... no luck

I thought it was just me!

Ok, yes. That was not worth falling down for......

That's what I thought. What I don't get is how you are suspicious for that. Didn't she say she wasn't suspicious of me? Then why be of you for stating what is a fact?

Ok....... One, to the bolded part-- what???

I think a more appropriate statement would be that I suck at mafia, I am just particularly transparent as a bad guy.

Piffle. If you wont let me get away with this statement I wont let you either. You lasted several rounds last game and got me lynched on day one with practically nothing. You are actually rather skilled now at being a baddie. Which is why I am worried about you right now as this is exactly what you were saying in the Princess Bride you naughty little minx.

That said, I dont want you going all FrexKitten on me and getting upset. Just sayin I have my eye on you, and NOT in the fun way.

Ok......... Maybe a little bit in the fun way. I do so like that top you are wearing today..

[Kadaj]

. and could those symbols simply be a font... a la Wingdings? <_<

Nah, some of it is arabic or persian, some of it seems to be characters from some other weird asian language(I assume) and there are a few unicode symbols(like the sun one). Without being able to copy/paste the text it will take a bit of work to try figure out anything.

and tranq is a nub tbqh! I can see why he is just making silly comments, because he has nothing to really defend against. His night 0 vote and his activity times are barely anything defendable. Though I would like to see him post more to get a better idea of what my thoughts are on him.

Linkitis: what danhm said tbh! Though the problem is with languages like farsi the symbols change depending on what symbols are next to them, so without being able to copy/paste it it'll take a bit of work to try actually get that farsi in text form. (Where is queen Shirin when we need her tbqh! ) Also figuring out secret roles almost never has any major impact on anything, so I dont really care tbh, but it's a very nice idea from LC. This is how all secret roles should be tbqh! *kicks bexys regex cheats tbh!*
