Topic: Mafia LX: Holiday Murder Mystery Mafia - 3rd Day of Christmas

[Stratos]

With the power out and more party-goers dropping dead, panic sets in and people run off through the mansion. Stevey, The Townie is unfortunately trampled to death by the panic stricken mob. Pixelated Pixies, thinking of a solution, goes down to the basement to find the circuit breaker. Some of the other people try to calm the group down. The lights come up and everyone begins to get their bearings. After doing a head count they realize that Pixelated Pixies has not returned to the group after the power returned. Several people go down to the basement together and hear a 'WHUMP WHUMP' sound. They find the breaker box covered in blood. Spotting a set of bloody footprints, they follow it through the basement. The WHUMP WHUMP grows louder as they progress down the hall. Rounding the corner they find the the laundry room. The dryer is the source of the sound. One of them opens the dryer and out tumbled a head, arms and leg. Silence reigned supreme as the head of Pixelated Pixie, The Townie spun to a standstill, facing the group with a dead eyed stare.


Summary
Stevey, Townie - Killed by Vote
Pixelated Pixies, Townie - Killed by Mafia Hit
Santa gave out a Doctor Kit and a Super Solver Seeker Kit
Khush was the Boozer Investigator for the night.
Player Count - Townies: 7 Mafia: 4

[Stogi]

So anyone want to fill me in on the haps? I haven't been able to play these past couple days.

[pokepal148]

vote khush

[Silenced]

Welp, we've all been dooped.

I'm keeping suspicion on Toru, but my main concern is now my Spak + Khush scenario.

He's been actively going after the Boozer role every night, getting everyone on his side, and leading us down all different pathways. There has to be a change of power here, he's clearly a mafia member trying his best to take our most valuable tool away from us.

Spak is defending him knowing that it would be easy to due to his status, simply assuring us that he'll get 'em the next day. No more.

Vote Khush

[Toruresu]

vote khush

You've played a great game as mafia so far, but it's over!

[Spak-Spang]

I got the investigation role yesterday.  I wish I would saved the investigation until after I saw the results. 

I believe he is the Godfather, and he is trying to get a mafia win by keeping all the townie special roles alive.  If he is the boozer he can never be killed…and only voted out.  I am afraid, this might be the townies last hope to win. 
insanolord

[lolmonade]

Wow, if Khush is mafia, then I feel very foolish. 
 
It looks like the guillotine is already aligned iwth his neck at 4 votes.  I re-assert that if he's Mafia, then Spak-Spang is also mafia, and he's voting Khush because there's no way to save him today, and he wants to wipe the blood off his hands for future days.

unVote Spak-Spang.

[Silenced]

Something we could possibly bring our attention to:

We may be looking at an inactive Seductress. There hasn't been change in the voting so far, and it's not a one-shot role; it can be used every day. Of course, there is also the more probable chance that there hasn't been any need to use their ability.

Wouldn't be a stretch to look at someone like Stogi who just jumped back into the game, just a thought.

[jrlibrarian]

Wow, I most definitely was not expecting to wake up to this result this morning. We either have all gotten played, or we're all just being really dumb. Possibly both.

I agree that the quiet ones are suspect (I even suggested voting Stogi yesterday), but the issue is that the Godfather has to have been active (even if just speaking to their last log-in date), because there's been a hit each day.  An inactive (not logged-in) Mafia member is benign until they make their presence known.

[Khushrenada]

For what it is worth, I'll Vote Insanolord. I'm highly certain he is the Mafia Goon aka Other Friend. Of course, with my piss-poor play so far, I could be wrong and may have to retire from this game forever.

[Silenced]

I really need to get my real thoughts down here.

Once again, we need to investigate what the hell is going on here.

Khush can't really defend himself in this situation, and there really is no defense that can be made due to the risk of him turning up mafia and the defender catching heat the next day. Let me outline my two actual scenarios:

Originally, I assumed Stevey, because of his seemingly constant vendetta-ing of Khush and singular post was pulling the strings. with Toru aiding him.

Khush could be a screwing-up Townie for all we know. And in that case, a lot of things will be made clear by his death. And who has been defending Khush this whole time? Spak. If Khush turns up Townie, guess who gets instant trust? It's not the most plausible theory, granted, but I don't think it's out of the question.

Stogi and Insano and Glad0s haven't been talking too much, and the former two recently jumped back in. That's something that we should keep in mind.

My suspicion on Toru is less than it was yesterday, and I'm looking more towards the possible team of Spak, Stogi, Insano, and Glad0s.

[Khushrenada]

Sounds to me like you thought the stevey vote was a legitimate attempt at voting out a mafia member and have a couple of the same reasons why he was a target like I do. I was wrong but chances are, you all would have been wondering about Stevey in a couple days anyways just like Jurassic Park mafia because of the way he plays. Thus, I don't think it was as terrible as everyone is making it out to be to eliminate that source of potential paranoia.

I'm trying to limit my postings because I want someone else to win the boozer role if you are all afraid of my intentions.

Quite a few of you still have some belief in me that I am what exactly what I've said from the beginning which is an innocent townie. A lot of you have suspicions about Insanolord. I do as well. I've gone got a short list of 7 people who could be mafia. I've eliminated 2 of those names on the belief they are telling me the truth. In all cases, Insanolord is the only person when trying to figure out who has the remaining roles that ends up on the guilty side everytime. The piece that will not fit.

[Spak-Spang]

It is no secret I have been talking to Khush in PMs.  I still am.  I told him this, and I will tell everyone else too.

Either:

1) He is mafia and is playing us.  I think it is highly likely…but there is no proof.
2) He is townie and has been really unlucky for two reasons, one his hunches on mafia members has been wrong.  And two, one or two people in his alliance are mafia members hiding. 

I am going to change my vote for now to a no vote.  I don't know what is going on yet.  I just woke up, and felt like my post before bed was a little rash. 

[Silenced]

I'll maintain my vote for now. The suspects I listed need to make an appearance and set up a defense for themselves or I WILL be looking towards them.

And yes, I was indeed wondering about Stevey, but I didn't jump onboard that bandwagon for a reason.

[jrlibrarian]

Time for me to head off to work, so I won't be on that much for the rest of the night.


Temp Vote Insanolord for the time being.

I am loosely connected to that alliance as is silenced based on that PM convo but of the group I will put him on the top of my list.

[Silenced]

We do need to make some sort of well-composed lynch today; we'll be in a very difficult and most likely unavoidable loss situation.

Insano has been confirmed to be lurking, and his posting yesterday seemed suspicious. For a time I believed he was gunning for the Boozer role.

Then there's Khush, who we either vote off as a mafia player that's fooled all of us or a townie that's made some bad mistakes.

[NWR_insanolord]

I came to Khush's defense yesterday and now he seems to have seen fit to lash out at me in a desperate bid to save himself. Jrlibrarian jumping on board is something to remember if Khush ends up having been mafia.

Given the circumstances I seem to have no choice but to Vote Khush.

[Khushrenada]

There is one more possible theory for what is going on in this game that is growing in my mind and I'd like to get it discredited fast right now to keep myself from going crazy.

Have you ever heard of the unreliable host variation? In that game of mafia, there is no mafia. The host pretends there is but it is just him picking off players until eventually the remaining players finally figure it out.

I've found it very odd that so many people keep coming up innocent and/or seem innocent to me. I also noticed that on Day 1, Stratos did include the vote Mop it up made against him as part of the tally. Was that a hint?

Do we have to vote the host out to win or is this idea just more crazy talk?

[Khushrenada]

Just like to note that your coming to my aid did not result in you voting along with me and I've had plenty of games with mafia members coming to my aid or saying I might be on to something in the hopes that such compliments will keep me from suspecting them.

[Silenced]

I'll do the honors once more:

VOTECOUNT:
Khush = 4(pokepal148, Silenced, Toruresu, Insanolord)
Insanolord = 3(Spak-Spang, Khushrenada, jrlibrarian)
Spak-Spang = 1(lolmonade)

Seems like the stage is set for a possible Seductress movement.

A tie will be upon us soon enough and no one knows who to trust. I'm still skeptical of Khush for what could be a very skillfull manipulation of the town. His death is shaping up to reveal a lot.

With Insano, we'd be utterly destroyed if he was town.

I'm not budging until I really believe one side.

I didn't vote with you because I didn't vote with anyone. Like I said, my sleep has been an issue, and I thought I would be awake again in time to vote before the deadline last night but didn't make it. I don't want to vote one way in the early afternoon only for the tides to change and leave me unable to adapt. Anyone who's been here for a while knows how my sleep schedule can get, and it just slipped my mind that this was starting now.

[Khushrenada]

Although I still want the host to answer my question of whether he is a viable suspect, I have another question about the rules. You state:

"In the event of a tie all players involved in the tie will die."

Do you mean both players that are tied (like Khushrenada and Insanolord) or the players who have been voted for along with everybody who voted for them?

[lolmonade]

Vote insanolord.


My Spak-Spang vote is no value added.  I don't think Khush is mafia, or willing to take the risk of him playing a brilliant con on us all.  I want to vote Stogi, simply because I wouldn't doubt him staying in hiding out of simply not having a need to implicate himself as mafia, but that would be another wasted vote scenario.

If both insanolord & Khush drop because of this vote, so be it.

[Silenced]

We have a tie. If there is an active Seductress, a movement will probably occur near the end of the day, guaranteed.

If not, we'll have to look towards inactive players, unfortunately. Another good wack-a-inactive game.

[lolmonade]

In a way, I think a tie might work well for the townies.  I think one of them is mafia, and seeing how the cards fall by both of them going down might help clear up who to target next.

[NWR_insanolord]

I really don't know what to say beyond the fact that I'm not in the Mafia and the townies are screwed if this keeps going. You will regret this come morning.

[Silenced]

Still going to hold my vote for now. There is a big rift inside of the supposed townie alliance, and I'm getting the feeling that we're being rallied on by the wrong side.

Let's look again at how Khush has been controlling the vote masterfully. I'm still suspecting my original suspects, granted, but I'm leaning more towards him and Spak keeping a firm grip on the game.

I've stated before that his death will reveal plenty, innocent or not. Due to his mistakes and the way he has seemingly manipulated people, it's almost becoming a necessity.

[Stratos]

While both brilliant and something i have mentioned before as something I would try, no, you cannot vote out the host this game. Doesn't rule it out in the future though!

And only the two (or three or more) who are tied get killed. Not everyone who was voted on that day.

[lolmonade]

I want to keep the conversation going here.  The following people (not counting insanolord & Khush) in my mind should be seriously looked into:

Stogi - Has stayed inactive in the game, only to show up today, only doing so to post without any substance.  In my limited experience, Stogi has typically been sparse in posting, but never to this degree, and he usually will at least make a vote.  I find it suspicious he hasn't voted at all, but why should he?  No one is questioning him, so why would he bother sticking his neck out in public to be under suspicion.

Spak-Spang - if Khush ends up being Mafia, Spak's consistently verbal defense of him puts into high suspect.

Glad0s - Has had very limited posting, and only votes when it seems there's a fairly unanimous vote in place.  Like Stogi, since no-one is paying attention to him, has had no reason to be involved in the game further.

This is getting ridiculous.  The vote for the first few days have been "should we or should we not axe Khush" instead of looking for actual suspicious activity.  Townies are going to get slaughtered if we don't get our act together.

[Khushrenada]

On the subject of Stogi, he was my investigation last night. He came back as a townie. Since I again discount the theory he communicated by e-mail since I long disabled the forum sending me such messages and he's never struck me as caring that much about fooling everyone in an elaborate ploy to win, he's probably the only townie I can truly trust right now.

Spak-spang investigated Lucariofan99 who also came back as a townie. The goal was to check the inactive players and make sure we weren't missing anything. Now, if Spak truly is pulling one over on me, than this investigation might be suspect but I very highly doubt it.

Based on the elimination of those players from suspicion and me dealings with other players, my list of suspected mafia is:

Glad0s - Godfather
Toruresu - Mafia nullifier
Pokepal148 - Vote Changer
Insanolord - Mafia Goon

I feel there is no risk in putting this up here at this point. The mafia can stick with their votes and eliminate me which gets rid of another townie and closer to their goal but it will help validate my list a bit and my investigations.

They can let Insanolord die. If he is innocent, then they will most likely win the game killing me tomorrow. If he is guilty, then again, it will validate my list of players as being credible. But that is only useful to them if I'm wrong about a player or two. However, with Insanolord potentially dying and Glad0s already investigated, that just leaves two more to search. Both of those players will be searched tonight by two separate individuals in case there is a mole in my group.

And that's all I've got. I have to head out so I'll see what happens when the day is over and whether I lived or died.

Good night all.

[pokepal148]

Care to give any explanation as to why you believe I'm in the Mafia or how you can deduce me as the vote changer, this seems desperate to me...

[NWR_insanolord]

I canceled my vote for Khush. He's said enough both here and in PMs to convince me he's a townie, and I'd rather sacrifice myself for the cause than get two of us killed through a tie and basically hand the mafia the win.
