Marketplace Mafia III - Game Over

[Magua]

Deadline has been extended for an additional hour to account for the additional downtime

[Magua]

You ever have one of those Nights that just never seemed to end?

I was sleeping on my bench, as per usual, bits of newspaper scrap stuffed up my nostrils to try to block the smell of the dead cats.

And then I'd wake up, to pitch blackness, not knowing where I was, flailing around aimlessly, before my senses settled and I could make out the glow of the emergency exits and realized it was simply not time to get up yet.

Then I went back to bed. And it happened again. And I went back to bed, again.

The third time, I woke up to blinding light. Nothing looked right, but there were several people poking me insistently, demanding that I wake up.

"What? What? What?" I shouted at the blurred forms, vision still not coming into normal focus.

"It's PeregrineV," one of them said.

That snapped me to attention. I leaped off of the bench into a world that was already wide awake -- obviously, I'd overslept -- and saw the cluster of people surrounding PeregrineV's Peddlar of Birds of Prey shop (though he had spelled it "shoppe").

It looked like the cat had gotten his tongue. And his eyes. And, from the amount of blood, a good amount of his internal organs.

This lights flickered off and then burst back to life, leaving annoying afterimages on my eyes. "Oh, come on!" I shouted to the universe in general. "First the killings, and now faulty electronics? This mall is going to the crapper. That's it. To the food court."

PeregrineV,

Entrepreneur

, was killed Night 4.

Hit me up tonight.

Nacho has like three posts to explain why he's not Right Hand Scum.

Scum I assume?

[Lost Butterfly]

Also, I think today is time for a massclaim. There's more stuff I'll say after it.

On that note, Peregrine's neighbours should claim if they're still alive.

[Lost Butterfly]

We'll see.

[Lord Mhork]

Why did you spend a bagillion dollars on Neighborizer and not NK?

[Harakiri]

Fine by me.

[Lost Butterfly]

Why did you spend a bagillion dollars on Neighborizer and not NK?

Because if scum link up this game, we're fucked. So I figured I'd use my loads and loads of cash for something constructive.

I considered NK, but figured it was more likely that someone like Peregrine also bid on it (since he'd mentioned trying for it on N3 and being blocked). So I didn't want to double up.

[Lost Butterfly]

(Oh, also, I figured it was safer to go all in for an ability that

wasn't

in red, since we don't know how scum can interfere with red bids.)

[Magua]

The beginning of Day 5 announcement originally listed Love Potion x 1 and Roleblocker x 3 as being the removed abilities.

This was incorrect.

Roleblocker x 3 and Self-Watch x 1 are the correct abilities removed.

[Lord Mhork]

Oh yeah. To clarify, I mediumed PeregrineV and did not receive a QT. I'm assuming this is because I was roleblocked.

[Harakiri]

(Oh, also, I figured it was safer to go all in for an ability that

wasn't

in red, since we don't know how scum can interfere with red bids.)

I just want to say it's not worth it. I've bid thrice on red auctions and gotten outbid by 1 each time. I think scum can see others who bid on the red auctions and plan accordingly--only way the NK bids make sense.

[Voidedmafia]

Something is really bothering me with how the previous four lynches have gone down. Mainly with how the first three involved very sudden wagon appearances on the eventual lynch for the today (especially D3, where the seanald counterwagon to me kinda came up out of almost nowhere), yet KA's lynch was more of a slow progression and eventuality by the end of the day rather than a sudden change from one or more possible prospects to another. I wish I could properly explain what I think about this, but it's still something that should be looked at, and I think taking a look at both the initial 1-3 votes and then the next ones up to L-3/L-2 would be most fruitful.

I planned on posting my responses to things that I missed over the weekend (cuz the damn site went down on me <_<) right now, but all the downtimes really cut into things. I'll get to those soonish.

Hit me up tonight.

Why exactly are you a better target than anyone else?

Nacho has like three posts to explain why he's not Right Hand Scum.

A.) Why Right hand and not Left hand?

B.) KA's lynch does put some question marks to Garuda, I can agree that, but is it really that big a thing or is there something more?

On that note, Peregrine's neighbours should claim if they're still alive.

Very much agreed with this.

The beginning of Day 5 announcement originally listed Love Potion x 1 and Roleblocker x 3 as being the removed abilities.

Roleblocker x 3 and Self-Watch x 1 are the correct abilities removed.

Well, this is still okay, but LP+RB gone would've been better. At least one red ability is gone either way.

Oh yeah. To clarify, I mediumed PeregrineV and did not receive a QT. I'm assuming this is because I was roleblocked.

Mhork is very likely town because of this, if no one thought that already.

PEDIT: That's possible

that just means there's a bid that was higher than yours and it got reduced to the lowest winning bid, that is, one above your bid

that's probably why the N2 NK only went for $76. no one else bothered to bid more than $75 on it

Let LB neighborize for himself.

Fine with the massclaim.

Also, I'm cool with lynching either upsidedown or Voided.

VOTE: uwop

Although, my gut is screaming at me to reconsider my scumread on Voided.

[Harakiri]

Why exactly are you a better target than anyone else?

I do better in a closed-knowledge environments where I can rapidly spitfire thoughts out. Plus, I currently have one of the higher net worths on the townside and want some advice that scum can't see.

A.) Why Right hand and not Left hand?

B.) KA's lynch does put some question marks to Garuda, I can agree that, but is it really that big a thing or is there something more?

A)Dr Pepper is super lynchbait to the Nth degree. I've personally lynched town-DP as scum-me numerous times. Who led DP's lynch and would have thought he was badtown..?
B)Who's led the town's kills since...day two?

[Harakiri]

PLEASE!!!!

[Harakiri]

I'm saying the scum's nk bids don't make sense. They don't have 300+ each night to bid on it in addition to getting the other powers if my math is working out right, unless they have inside knowledge on these nk bids. I'm the reason that the NK went so high two nights.

[Voidedmafia]

You can fuck right off. I just said and you quoted that I don't think it's this tiny small detail that you're trying to make me say it is.

You say it's a big deal, I'm saying it's not, and I'm telling you you're making it into a big deal when you shouldn't be. I'm not trying to make you "say" anything beyond realizing that point.

And before you ask again, I already answered why I talked about this and not the rest.

and I don't see how that's even a scumtell

Likewise <_< I don't even see an accusation that it's fake rage.

Too much resistance to lynch Voided.

ProHawk (and this goes for Bald, too), I should not be the focus for today. Not just because I think that the arguments for me (and this argument in particular) are stupid, but because we're in a good-size hole that I feel like we're getting into. You can call this fearmongering, but the fact remains that out of four lynches we've only hit one scum on what is looking more like it's a fluke than anything else.

Also, did you ever respond to my response to you? I don't recall it.

hm

I guess any money they spend on red auctions is multiplied by some factor?

Insider Dealings: Any money you spend bidding on auctions that are listed in red is [REDACTED]

v

Insider Dealings: Any money you spend bidding on auctions that are listed in red is doubled

Insider Dealings: Any money you spend bidding on auctions that are listed in red is increased by 50%

etc. etc.
