Alicornutopia

I no longer think DanielH is mafia. I changed my mind because of reasons. ;)

Damn, I still have no clue who to vote for, but pistachi0n does have a point... There's one person who I'm really confused about, but I just got paranoid about drawing either the Mafia's attention or townspeople suspicion at them, so now I'm considering encrypting my thoughts on the matter, except since I'm not used to all the crypto stuff it's starting to get somewhat cumbersome to keep track of all the keys etc...

Also, I would also like it if michaelblume told us if he has any clue why he might have survived. I can think of 7 possibilities, but I'd like it if someone else spoke about their thoughts (should I crypto these speculations?).

I guess I'm going to keep posting the list thingy:

Yeah, I was pretty surprised by michaelblume living. I have a couple guesses (not as many as 7!) as to why, though some of them make less sense than others -- and I'd like to hear what he thinks about what happened, first, before speculating.

And I'll post my last night stuff when I get back to my home computer so I can do the crypto right, if that's ok? If not I can probably work out how to do it from here.

I might have forgotten, but I'm pretty sure the only vote I've cast so far has been a "No Lynch" vote. Just... putting that out there.

I just checked your older posts, all four of them, and yep. only vote so far was no lynch. http://alicorn.elcenia.com/board/search ... 7&sr=posts

This is important.



*puts on a blindfold and spins around in a circle* vote jalapeno_dude, tell us some more about yourself and what you were doing last, because you haven't posted very much yet and it's hard to get to know you that way.

I should note that after the first vote, I said people who didn't vote were suspicious because I thought they were trying to go unnoticed. I changed my mind about that after seeing the latest vote and realizing how easy it would be for the mafia to control the voting with such a low turnout.

@michaelblume: please stop being coy and tell us why you couldn't be lynched. You've posted several times since the day started, so you have no excuse for not responding to people's repeated questions...

@alphabeta: That response (about DanielH) makes me more suspicious, of both you and DanielH. Since we seem to be doing the vote-for-someone-temporarily-as-an-incentive-to-get-them-to-respond-thing, I will vote alphabeta until you say something.

@Shoal: I disagree that I haven't posted very much, both on this forum and in this thread. It is true that I haven't said much recently in this thread, but that's because I still feel like I lack useful data. I'd note that I did vote last night, unlike Tamien, michaelblume, BlueSkySprite, no.head.chicken, ozymandias, thatwasademo, futurevision, and Paradox.

I'm a little salty about being put on the chopping block again, and a little suspicious of Alphabeta for saying that I voted to kill someone when I didn't. I'll join jalapeno_dude in voting Alphabeta until they convince me otherwise.

I picked you because you are first on my alphabetical list of people that I haven't managed to form opinions about, and I'd like to change that. I want to get to know you better. It is true that you've posted more than some other people, but I haven't managed to form an opinion yet anyway. The other people that I'm having trouble forming opinions about are no.head.chicken -- it would be a lot easier to get a handle on him if his opinions weren't mostly cryptoed, Ozymandias who I do believe for now that she's Darcy but I'd still like to see more participation from her, Paradox who also has posted somewhat but they've failed to make an impression on me, or I've failed to generate one, and Thatwasademo, who I feel like I ought to have formed an opinion by now of but I have not.

I would also really like to hear from michaelblume, just like everybody else I'm really curious about what happened yesterday and want to know if he's torchable or if he thinks someone was protecting him. If he knows who was protecting him, I don't think he should say who it was because that could put them in danger, but we're all curious!

Do you guys think that if Michael was torchable, that Alicorn's description would have included that, or do you that would have been too much of a spoiler for her to include and she wrote something random instead?

I'm on the fence about Alpha. He is acting kinda weird, but he was acting weird yesterday too. And the day before that. Now he's kind of reminding me of the way Andais was acting, so I want to look for alternate explanations just in case. Does anyone know him outside of this context? Is he always weird?

Alpha, are you Sherlock? Maybe Alphabeta was investigating Daniel and saw something about him that changed his mind. I get that you don't want to roleclaim right now, but Alpha, maybe you could go back through Daniel's posts and find things that support your new belief that he's not mafia? Like "now that I know that he's really Pen[1] and was sleeping peacefully last night, his post the other day about ____ seems more innocent than it did when I first saw it"? Anyway, if you are protown could you try to channel the Joker a bit less?


I had some inspiration to look up who started this crypto stuff, because I think it has been detrimental to town that people have their opinions of other people hidden away where we can't see if someone changes behaviour in response to being read too correctly or see if other people's opinions are matching our own. but it was modrony who started it and we know he was innocent. so i don't even know. guess that was the wrong angle of attack.

Ugh, fine.
This unlocks my role claim, my power claim, and most of my garbage crypto.

TL;DR: I'm Addy, and I protected him because a sensory power told me he's probably innocent. My nightly actions are encrypted with different keys because fuck you Mafia I'm not letting you kill my precious power sources. To the person from whom I copied the power with which I protected michaelblume: I request protection on nights when you think I'm likely to get killed.

Actually, I said that the latest dead guy voted to kill you. Maybe you had him killed to stop that. Or maybe the Mafia killed him to have you lynched. Or maybe that's what you want us to think. Or maybe that's what they want us to think. Or maybe - *slaps self*
