Topic: Mafia LXXI: Dick Tracy. Day 2. Master of Disguise.

[Khushrenada]

Extra! Extra! Read all about it! Host's story post delayed! Players not surprised!

Sorry gang. Having a computer issue. Posting from my phone right now but want to get the day up so I can go to bed for now.

Announcements:


Dead:

Insanolord - Townie (Killed by Mafia)


This means there are 11 players left. So, 6 votes are needed to reach a majority vote and end the day early. Otherwise, the deadline for Day 2 voting will be Friday Nov. 18, 2016 at 1:00 AM EST which is about 45 hours from now.

After yesterday's shenanigans, please be mindful of how you edit and change votes to make sure they are counted.

Doesn't seem to be much else to discuss at this point. Game on.

[Wah]

Lolz tried to kill me!
Vote Lolomanade

[stevey]

Damn Khush rigging the vote.

[lolmonade]

I'll figure you out later, Lucario.  No one gets to be Switzerland in this, though.


Vote Stogi as a placeholder, looking back on last day's thread.  Gotta work.

[Silenced]

I've made my play and I'm sticking to it.


Vote Stogi

If the goon is voted off, as a bonus I am given two legitimate, confirmed townie names. We can get a good alliance going here.

[Silenced]

Wow, just read why the lynch didn't go through yesterday.


That might be the dumbest thing that has ever happened to me. If the unvote wasn't a clear enough cancel then I don't know what to do for you.


I guess this is more serious of a game than I thought. Everyone, remember to write complete sentences from now on! Make sure to not make a single error! The slightest mistake will turn the host against you!

[Khushrenada]

That might be the dumbest thing that has ever happened to me.

EXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT! KHUSHRENADA SETS ANOTHER MAFIA RECORD! IS NOW WORST HOST OF ALL TIME!

[Silenced]

Quite possibly, yes. You're in the penalty box.

I can only assume you were upset I got a successful investigation so quickly that you wanted to keep things interesting. Anyone can tell that was a vote cancel.

Things worked out pretty well for you; the game was extended and Insano died.

[Stogi]

Wait...what? I almost died?! Hurray for Silenced voting for me and pokepal!

Speaking of whom, what the hell are you doing, Silenced? I thought we were boys?

I remember speaking to you last game and your main concern was that no one paid attention to you and that you found the game frustrating. I remember offering the advice to not take the game so seriously; try out new strategies and have fun! I didn't mean for you to use my strategy! lol I got to give it to you, though. You certainly have gotten everyone's attention.

Unfortunately, Silenced, I know who the real investigator is and you came up townie. I actually think you are a townie, but we can't take that risk. And we really could use those two extra investigations.

I'm calling for a majority vote on Silenced in order to hide the real investigator.

Vote Silenced

[Silenced]

Technically, your death was a certainty until the host decided to manufacture tension.


The thing is, is that there's nothing for me to gain by fakeclaiming investigator in this case. The mafia only get the extra member bonus if they kill the cop with their night action, not through the vote. So if I was scum and making this play, I would have to know with near-complete certainty who the investigator is so we could kill them that night. However, that's assuming that individual is indeed the investigator and will not have doctor protection.


Either way, it would just be a trade-off and the mafia would gain no numerical advantage; the town would automatically lynch me the following day, so the extra mafia member would only be a replacement. At best it's just a stalling technique, which isn't really necessitated this early on in the game.


Coming forward as investigator to lynch you off can bring about a townie alliance; if I, as the cop, am in the majority vote against you, I gain the names of two confirmed town members. If the doctor outs himself to me through PM, that's a solid block of four townspeople right there, all validated. Given that the last member, the Godfather, has investigative immunity, this can really help weed him out over time and make this game much easier to finish.

vote stogi 2016

Man I got a big story on my hands today. Chief Khushrenada is going to have my head if I don't have it out on time.

[Silenced]

I'd change your vote; it might appear to the host you're voting for user stogi 2016, in which case your vote is invalid!

[Mop it up]

I think Silenced could use a break, so I'll go along with this for now and see what happens.

Vote Stogi

I can't really ague with Khushrenada's decision in yesterday's thread. It's always been the rule to edit old posts when changing votes, as far as I've understood it anyway. I can't remember if the "unvote" thing was done before, particularly when it mattered, but different hosts may react to it differently and can allow what they want. Something to look into I s'pose... eh, too lazy.

[Khushrenada]

Current tally:

Stogi - 3
Stogi 2016 - 1 (I was going to count this as Stogi but Silenced brought up a good point)
lolmonade - 1
Silenced - 1

Stogi is currently 2 votes away from becoming a majority vote. Will we see more votes come his way or will another target present itself to the fickle voting public?

[TOPHATANT123]

Vote Stogi
It's a majority lock it in.

[Stratos]

Just going to join in the bandwagon for now. I'll catch up once I am off of work this afternoon.

[Silenced]

If the doctor can shoot me a PM that would be fantastic. Townie alliance can take off today.

[Khushrenada]

Vote Stogi
It's a majority lock it in.

Oh sure. Wait until I've gone to bed to finally make it a majority vote. What game are you players playing here?

[Khushrenada]

Final tally is:

Stogi - 6 (Majority Vote)
lolmonade - 1
Silenced - 1

Those with night actions have 12 hours to submit them and a hour opportunity to change it if needed after submitting them.
