Okay, I'll explain this once more. And it'll be the last time because I hate repeating myself. You know what my power is.

I claimed that RAPTOR'S NAME POPPED UP IN THE INTEL I HAVE GATHERED, and I used that on Raptor. Because if he was innocent, he'd have nothing to worry about. But he didn't read the entire sentence and went on and on about how I'm lying. But I'm not. IF I LIED, EXILE WOULD HAVE COME OVER AND DEBUNKED MY STATEMENT. But he didn't BECAUSE I REPORTED TO HIM EVERY TIME.

What I said was true, I just stated it vaguely because I was gauging for his reaction. Guilty people usually freak out and he acted guilty too.

Devour, you said it yourself that my reasons are nothing to sneeze at so I have no idea why are you being so clueless right now. Raptor was sloppy and gave us reasons to vote for him. It's unfortunate, but as a townie, it's mine and everyone else's responsibility to answer any accusations properly and not freak out.

I only rushed because everyone's reasons for lynching Apex were "well he might be innocent but we don't care" instead of investigating further. We made a mistake but at least it wasn't a mistake brought on by apathy and laziness.

Apex, that screenshot didn't tell us anything and you haven't been cooperating properly. I don't even know what to say to this, oh my god.

And Envoy, the Skype group was there before. People offered up their contacts and sometimes we chat. It's unfortunate that the word in the chat somehow led to the mafia game and for some reason people thought they could be more trusting there, which was a big mistake. The conversation lasted a couple of hours, and Devour, Boomy, myself and Apex were there. I'm actually not sure if anyone else from the mafia was there lurking, so don't quote me on this.

If anyone wants to get into the stickpage group, just send a contact request to moekidu and specify who you are (because I get random adds sometimes), and I'll add you. If you try to talk about Mafia there, I'll bite your head off.

Woah, why do you sound so mad at me?

Boomerang could have used it on Day 1 or 2 and I just wanted to know.


Sorry, I misread your sentence. I also misread Exilement's earlier. continue.

As I said, while I do not have any power over this, I really wish to ban this from the game. Restrict all the communicae to this thread. A group even consisting of any number is not considered to be a fair and neutral device.

I used to have a rule about keeping the game strictly in the thread, but I guess I must've not put it this time because people were used to it. Note to self: reinstate this rule in the next iteration.



@Nish: It would do you best to keep the jabs at the minimum. I haven't read what went on with Zero yet, but please adhere to rule number 5:
5) Do not take anything here personally. It's a game of deceit and betrayal after all so keep the flames to yourself.

And that goes double for you Apex. Check yourselves.

Hewitt, this group existed like way before this Mafia and I said like a thousand times that no one is allowed to talk Mafia there, holy fucking shit. The majority of the group doesn't even play in this game right now.

I apologize for, and retract, any personal insult I made against Apex in the heat of the moment. But my opinion that his gameplay has doomed us (if he isn't Mafia) stands. My opinion that being new to the game is a flimsy reason to play SO badly also stands.

Zero, I'll go through your post later. This is exactly what more people should be doing. When both Zero and Devour were attacked, they provided a proper breakdown of things and listed out why they were innocent and what they thought their place in the game has been so far.

My suspects are still Apex (because d'uh) and Devour (because of what Lami did, though that could have been an honest mistake).

On Envoy and Zero:

I have a strange instinct they might be in cahoots, seeing how they were both trying to tell me that Zero was not at fault for announcing to the world that Ant Man would be safest doing nothing. En has also been silent while Zero has been very chatty, leading me to suspect they're colluding on ideas together, so one sticks his neck out while the other stays under the radar.

Wait, I never said Zero was not at fault. I actually disagreed with Zero and said that you should jump and that is safest. In a Skrull world this would be counter-productive. But lets move on.

Okay why I have been silent. Lets take at my stats shall we?
[spoiler=]
7/12 Monday 2 posts 1:51 PM 9:00 PM
9/12 Wednesday 1 posts now 2 1:51 PM
7/12 Monday: DAY 3 Envoy’s last post 9:00 PM
Envoy is off stickpage.
7/12 Monday: DAY 3 Relevant post following Envoy 10:18 PM
8/12 Tuesday: NIGHT 3 12:07 PM
9/12 Wednesday: DAY 4 STARTS 2:53 AM [/spoiler]

So yeah I couldn’t post all day yesterday. But my level of activity is quite normal being still half way through the week.

From my usual activity I mainly post after 12 PM (If anyone wants proof I can produce a list) so by the time I was awake ready to make posts night had arrived. So I had to sit through that day. Then Day 4 came. It was in the morning. When I’m typically inactive since I was still in the snooze bucket. But as usual I reported for duty after 12 PM.

My last post for Day 3 I thought Apex was surely going to be on the axe so I assumed there was no need for further contribution. I went off and called it a day. Seriously who could have expected a complete reversal?

I know. But I also know that that leak happened and it's somehow affected the game to a certain degree for better or worse. I'm just looking for this game's best interest to be as fair as possible.

I know your intentions were not to use the group to talk about Mafia, but is this really the right time and place to endorse it. If you wanna endorse your group, do it in the Chat Thread where its relevant. That's all I'm saying.

It's not MY group and I was just answering Envoy.

Your probabilities picture was great by the way.

On a serious note, I'm sorry En but I just can't understand the labels in your drawing. I'm trying really hard but I just can't.

It's cool dude. Looking at it now, it seems quite messy indeed.

I did NOT persistently ask him. I only asked him ONCE(The public then PM shift) which was a bad move on my part because I forgot that I can also be a Skrull. I wanted to know it badly because his ability is USEFUL. It will allow us to be able to know who is a Skrull or who is an Avenger. I don't get why I'm getting so much fire for doing a stupid mistake an avenger will do. All this time, my actions, statements, and mistakes are of that an Avenger would make, and not a Skrull's.

Sigh, you and me both, friendo. The worst part is that Lamitrov did it out of some sense of appealing to the guy who always flattens him with logic in the past Space Station mafia games and it was totally out of my control. I'm actually not sure why Nish still suspects me after I've pointed out just how dumb the mafia would have to be for his suspicions to be right.
To answer your question though, we would have known that anyways in the following morning after Boomy said that to Exilement. The reason it looks suspicious is because an Avenger would have no use for that info even if Boomy answered you.


Also, you're remembering wrong. I did not use the same reasons on Lamitrov's suspicion. It was between Devi or Lami(The inactives) and Lami just had a slightly better ability, thus I picked him.

That all happened before I got here, so I could see me being wrong :p

Again, I am NOT content with having the town inactive. I am simply addressing the fact that it would be for the best if us town would have solid info to work with. Tell me Devour, when did I actually was actively telling the players to be inactive?

I went back and read, and I actually must apologize because I'm an idiot. You weren't being that way at all. I was just in a rush to get the ball rolling after how dead the thread was, and your cautionary stance rubbed against my aggressive and assertive one. Following your post, I'd actually say I'm not very suspicious of you anymore. I just wonder about the asking about Boomy's Scry.

Raptor was definitely suspicious, and very suspicious at that. But the nail in the coffin was that you had intel on him. The vagueness went both ways: I thought this intel convicted him without question. That combined with the push to get all our votes out before the random-lynch struck solidified it in my head and I was totally convinced.
I guess it's easy to use hindsight to nitpick past decisions, but I just regret not using today to question Raptor and yesterday to be rid of Apex, guilty or not.

I really am just pressing for info. I'm mostly satisfied with your response :) I think everyone learned a lot from reading what you said, and I'm a lot less suspicious of you now.

Devour, I called off my vote on you because your answer satisfied me. I'm only keeping you on my list because something is eating away at me and I'm not sure what. It turned out to be the PM Lami sent me. Because I don't recall the contents of it, I'm satisfied for now with your response, but there is something about that PM that still bothers me. Its in the back of my mind but I don't know what.

I think your gameplay puts you above suspicion for now. But if you ever end up being Mafia, please know that you're playing well and it might be only Lami's mistake that dooms you.

It's the other way around, isn't it?

The Skrull's know who the Skrull's are but the Avengers don't know who the Avengers are. That's why it's so important to know who is who using Scry because we'll basically have 2 Exile's. Imagine if we don't have the data and we lynch someone who is actually an Avenger, this could have been prevented if Scry was used. Vice versa too, in which if Boomer did Scry ASAP, he could have hit a Skrull. I don't get why he didn't even use it in the first place. As you said, it is most logical if the Skrull's go for the players that can investigate.

God, finally, thank you.

The thing is, you can't trust anyone but Exile with that sort of info, about whether he used Scry already or not. I know it'd be useful but I didn't want him to tell me, instead he should have kept it to himself and Exile. This shouldn't even be an issue.

Until today, I thought everyone was happy with me and my playing as a Townie :( From the start, I was trying to be trustworthy enough to take over for Exilement (except I'd have two lives) should he ever be nightkilled. Obviously that isn't an option anymore.

I've also been gathering a list of people I very, very strongly think are Avengers (and my reasoning why). If I ever get lynched, I'll leave that list behind to help you guys win this even without me.

I'm also going to try and get ahold of Laminator to tell me what that PM was. Whatever he said, I know I'll be able to settle it because it was an Avenger who sent it. The only thing it could be is a dumb mistake that can be rationalized as just that.

Dead people tell no tales. Isn't it against the rules to consult dead players? Thus, even that sort of a list would be illegal.

Best to say what you mean and what would be helpful right now. Not that I'd rely on such a list anyway. I don't want to rule someone out completely.
