When's the cutoff?
On the Ghost Rating website, it says that "The Ghost-Rating list filters out games where the game ends before Autumn 1903."
So, a game ending immediately after builds of '03 would count for GR?
Would a game ending during Diplomacy of Autumn '03 count for GR?

'War' in Syria?
"The point, of course, is that the West had grown so used to attacking Arab lands - France had become so inured to sending its soldiers and air crews to Africa and the Middle East to shoot and bomb those whom it regarded as its enemies - that only when Muslims began attacking Western capital cities did we suddenly announce that we were "at war"."

Did Soldiers Really Die for my Freedom?
Last week was Remembrance Day, and aside from the self-righteous pomp and circumstance that usually accompanies the event, I was also subjected to hearing about why I should care about the "sacrifice" of others. Apparently soldiers died for my freedom.

NHL All-Star Game
So the NHL has announced a 3-on-3 format for the All-Star Game this season. I believe this format devalues defensemen in that, in a 3-on-3 match, both sides will field a center and 2 wingers to increase scoring chances at the cost of solid defensive play. The NHL has a long history of great defensemen, so I don't believe it is fair to devalue them by devaluing their usefulness in the All-Sta Game (ergo, less All-Star appearances for defensemen versus scorers).
Thoughts?

turkey needed for gunboat
Well apparently some players in a game entitled to encourage a lack of CDs want to play on with a banned player, so we need a replacement turkey. The position is more decent if you consider the necessary allegiances in place given the position. It'd be a fun challenge to make something of this and far from impossible.

Argh, all of an hour and half remain, and we have no votes from two people. I was hoping to react to their votes on my break and hoped seeing what they did would help me decided. As it stands either both the no voters are scum, in which case town loses for sure since we're split, or we have active scum. In which case I have to decide which of Bo or Guak is scum.

Yoyoyozo (95 D)

@Vecna

What is this?
"To clarify;
-I've townread yoyo for pretty much the entire game.
-I'm claiming the no-vote and the extension of the nk phase is a scum tactic to get certain people lynched (aka me).
-yoyo brings it up and makes the connection between my absence and the night phase events. Strong scumread for me.
-the surprise is mainly that my earlier observations might've been wrong"

You townread me the entire game, but now I'm a strong scum read because I found it fishy that the night was extended, with the conspicuous explanation of "Allowing players to come back from the weekend"? Ok. That makes sense.

Also, why would scum do this to lynch you? Y2k is not going to allow someone to extend a phase in order to frame someone, so what are you even talking about?

I like how you're trying to say all of this now, so that we all don't lynch your ass when you put down your contraditing vote.

That's all for me right now, I'll be back
Yoyoyozo (95 D)
18 Nov 15 UTC
@Guak,

Don't pretend to be all rational and calculating now. You were litterally just spewing on about how I HAVE to be scum, that there is a 100% chance that I'm scum. Now you're looking at bo-vecna connections? Why? If I have to be scum, then there's no point in looking at that. If you're going to lynch me, there are only 2 possibilities, I'm scum or town. If I'm scum, looking at connections relating bo and vecna is absolutely useless. If I'm town, game over. You're acting like a moron, guak, and that's not like you.

##VOTE Guak.
Vecna (890 D)
18 Nov 15 UTC
@yoyo I don't have a global scumread on you but the way you tried to frame me there just fits too well in the picture of a clever mafia strategy.

Tell me it doesn't make perfect sense; noone is a very strong lynch candidate but actually using the night phase in the way it has been used is the perfect way to raise suspicions on inactive people. It just fits too smoothly and then you pop in and point it out going "oh i hate using this meta but blablabla". I know it's not a lot to go on, but it's the most fishy thing I've seen you do so far in this game (from my perspective). This combined with the reads most others have on you probably makes you the best candidate town had to still have a shot at this game.

From the remaining players I've only had solid scumreads on maniac, but they have gotten less And less after Damian replaced him.

Summarising;
-I am town
-im convinced Bo is town
-i have no strong indications anymore on either Damian or Guak that allow me to make up my mind whether they're town or scum.

Hence your the only lync target where i can see town surviving. The good thing is if you do flip scum your actions pretty much softclear guak in my mind and i was right about maniac all along.

The crew surrounds Yoyoyozo, space knives at the ready.
"It's not me you idiots!" cries Yoyoyozo.
"Die martian scum!" responds the crew as they lunge at him with their weapons.

YOYOYOZO the ASTRONAUT has been killed. GUAK and VECNA the Martians reveal themselves and devour BO_SOX48 and DAMIAN, respectively. While they couldn't save their leader, the Martians have successfully destroyed the invading squad of human astronauts. Life on Mars is preserved, for now...

Mafia XIV has ended. Mafia Wins. Congratulations to Espi, guak, and Vecna.
