Welcome to the loneliest thread in the world. Talk as you please, but no spoilers.

Just giving a shoutout in this thread to all the observers/chirping crickets before the game starts and I'll no longer be permitted to post in it.

Just giving a shoutout in this thread to all the observers/chirping crickets before the game starts and I'll no longer be permitted to post in it. Hi forbidden thread. Does anyone use these anymore?

I just wanted to pop in before I either get bored observing or end up spoiled.
I did see the Hasselhoff on the teevee the other night. They played the whole movie without stopping it (although I only watched the last half).
The only other thing I have to say is "Don't trust bufftabby! She'll betray you all ! (unless you're lucky enough to ride her coattails)".

Hi all! Are there a lot of us watching this one unspoilered?

Now I wish I hadn't agreed to help with the game balancing. O well.

OK, now I've never really read a game in which Idle played. All I really know of him is that he likes to use giant fonts. Those of you that have played with him, is this the type of thing that he did when he played often/regularly? (i.e. Claiming early for no game necessary reason.)
It seems like he's still addicted to mafia: he maintains the board and seems to keep up with the games, but he just doesn't want to play. What am I missing? Why did he quit playing?

It's not out of character for Idle, really. He has a flair for the dramatic, which honestly can be useful when the game is running slow.
The "large font" thing is kind of a joke at this point. The famous incident comes from this board right here. If you're up for it, read the Hispaniola game, Day 4. Idle was falsely accused but until he was saved it was impossible to believe him. His protestations of innocence became the stuff of legend.

I just think, with all that's going on, that it's nice to have a Day One that is active and contentious but is not primarily about mass claiming and/or random voting. Any unspoiled speculation as to the alignment of those involved in the more prominent discussions?

I'm sure this is a just mistyped, but I found it amusing.

I was pretty sure molefan was pro-town, but I also expect he knew more about the candy than he let on. I can't see a good reason for his claim, but at least it did give them something to do.
That's two games with a claim the first day. Are the designers trying to come up with roles that might push someone to claim Day 1, or are the players coming up with it themselves?
Given that molefan wasn't scum, it seemed to me like one or two people (I forget who) tipped their hand when pushing him over the edge. There were some comments that made me think they knew his alignment, but I forget who.
Another thought struck me - while this thread isn't the place to do it, with these closed games it could be interesting to have observers who are spoiled on the roles & mechanics only - as if it were open, but had to guess who had what role.

I would like to state for the record that bufftabby is quite obviously scum. Why are things so much easier when you're no longer in the game?

Since I'm not spoiled yet, I'm guessing that Wolverine whacked Plague. He had no powers until Jean died, which is why he couldn't whack Darth the previous night.
I also am pretty sure at this point I know who Mr. Sinister is.

Regardless, I think town pretty much has this one finished up. They need to find the remaining 3rd parties first, if any. They are 2.5 mislynches from lynch or lose, thanks to the death of Plague. If diggit takes a non-scum with her, that still gives town 2 mislynches to play with as well as reducing the pool of unknowns. If she takes scum with her, town gets another half-lynch out of it, giving themselves 3 mislynches to play with. I don't think scum can win at this point, regardless, barring some yet as unrevealed mechanic.
The question comes down to who diggit takes out. It'll be interesting to watch town decide this one. Taking out scum is safer from a defeat of scum standpoint, but less safe from a defeat of 3rd parties standpoint.

So before you get spoiled, who do you think the remaining scum are?

So before you get spoiled, who do you think the remaining scum are? I already threw out my ideas on that in the Mason board last night before I was killed. I made a list in what I see as the most likely to least likely to be the remaining scum. I have no clue on 3rd party, though. I'd rather not give my ideas here on that just as a precaution. The spoilered should have access to the mason board musings, so you can see them there.
