Looks like we need to revise our theory, then.

I didn't. Not night 2, at least.

Darq, I wasn't ready to try and pressure, but bad on me for not remembering it later. Even as late as Stan leaving his vote with me I was thinking he was trying to buy my trust.

And Rokk, I was thinking town might by style parodies (as normalview and myself are) and mafia might be specific song parodies. And if the mafia didn't realize it, it'd be a matter or you OMACing. I have no desire to pursue this now, but if the pattern hold out, we'll lynch you for it.

It'd be pretty dumb of me to not realize everyone on my Mafia was a song parody, plus I'm not sure there'd be enough style parodies to really make a good Town.

But, hey, lynch away and check the theory if you guys want. Seriously, it won't help.

I am, unfortunately, Neutral (and before anyone asks - no, not the SK obviously. )

I find Rokk's Neutral claim unbelievable

Just want to point out that about half of every album Al does is style parodies. Pretty much if it isn't a specific song parody, it is some kind of style parody.

In other words, there are plenty to go around



And you're neutral? Hmm... interesting...

When the game opened, I went on a YouTube Style parody binge and listened for hours.

Weird Al has more style parodies than there are players in this town. A lot of them go unnoticed unless you are familiar with the act or style he's parodying. Even a lot of Al fans miss them. How many know that a goofy somng like "Everything You Know is Wrong" is a parody of They Might Be Giants? My own role is Devo, but I would guess more posters here know the Al song than know Devo's songs.

Rokk, you are in a fairly narrow category of Al songs which are both parodies of a song *and* the original artist is the subject of the song. The only other example I know is It's Still Billy Joel to Me (which I beleive is unrealeased, as it's not all that nice, really).

Anyway, Rokk-- as I said, I see no hurry, but of the pattern holds I'll be first in line to lynch you. Too few data points now to take it as more than a theory.

Question for the Mafia vets out there: is there a way to hide or disguise a player after that player is eliminated?


The reason I ask is because it occured to me that the chomping elimination could also be, say, the Purple People Eater... which would make the non-Al songs viable again if it weren't for the 'Like a Surgeon (Mafia)' reveal.

Would it be possible to change or hide sstralkowski's Song name or affiliation to throw us off?

It's possible but extremely rare, and I personally think that effs with the game mechanics too much.

That's half the fun of getting a new album for me... trying to figure out what is what.

Put it this way: have someone else come forward and claim they are a full on parody song. If no one does, that's the Mafia theme.

You know, oddly, he did so good on the style parody for "Everything..." I always felt it was a song parody and I just couldn't place the actual song.

Which might explain my Neutrality if your theory is right.

So not likely then... hmm...


How about modifying my first idea about his more violent songs? 'Like a Surgeon' could kind-of-sort-of be considered violent (what with all the incompetent surgery) and that would still leave things like 'The Night Santa Went Crazy' and 'Trigger Happy', too.

Good point.

So... can you?
