Well, my activity is based on my death in normal mafia. For me, speed mafia comes second to regular mafia, but I'm dead in regular mafia.
That is interesting. Then you must have been temporarily dead (in normal mafia) for the duration of speed mafia 2.

As for the number clue, that could point so many ways with different interpretations of it, that is about as unreliable as it gets.
On the contrary. The fact that we're talking about a pretty high number actually makes most operations impossible:
It cannot be the sum of the 3 Mafia's member IDs. 3 highest member IDs: 2826 + 3490 + 3177 = 9493 --> too low
It cannot be the product of 3 Mafia's member IDs. 3 lowest member IDs: 82 * 86 * 80 = 564160 --> too high
You cannot put the IDs together to a string of numbers because there's no IDs matching this number combination: 164025.
And I don't even want to start playing around with cross products or combinations of it with other basic operations since the possibilities would be virtually endless. (see next paragraph)
Division and subtraction obviously make no sense if you need to match a high number.
So there's no single basic operation that can produce that number.
I also want to point out that most numbers cannot be square rooted. In the range of 164025 only 0.8% of the numbers create whole numbers when squarerooted. So we have a chance of little higher 1:1000 that it's even possible to perform the action. Looks manufactured to me. And when the action leads to a valid result it's even more likely that this is no coincidence.
One might say (which is very true) I can create any number out of a pool of a few other numbers using mathematical operations but it would need several very complicated formulas to reach an arbitrary number. My point is that I found a very simple operation that leads to the result, not some obscure calculation that no one could come up with.

My failure against Epoch basically gets chalked up to an incorrect interpretation (HAPPENS A LOT, BY THE WAY).
Yeah a wrong interpretation alone don't make a mafia. Even though you stubbornly insisted on it but I think that's just you.
It's only a support argument.

I always attempt to be helpful, I just generally am aligned with some faction. In this game.. I have no real friends or enemies. Most of you people are just neutral, so instead I'm forced to post most of my shit in the topic, instead of private AIM conversations. BLEGH. I'm going to bed.
The only ones not playing this mafia, but having in the last are Zycorax and Doodle. So you're going to tell us those are your good friends and talking to only them helps town more than openly discussing clues and posting interpretations?
