I suppose it's time for another
exciting pm retrospective.Day ONE:
I'm the investigator. People who post early are often mafia, and Dasmos posted early. It was probably because of his time zone, but just to be safe...
Quote
to: 18days
Investigate dasmos please.
My suspicions were justified. Dasmos is mario, funhouse mafia goon.
Day TWO:Quote
to: 18days
Investigate vudu, please.
Vudu is the townie idiot. 18days hints that he doesn't know it, and that I shouldn't tell him. Why shouldn't I tell him? Would that put me in danger some how?
Quote
to: 18days
Don't tell him? Err, why?
Quote
to: vudu
Hey. Dasmos is mafia.
Vudu replies that he's not going to do anything with the information right now, because no one else is voting for Dasmos, and he doesn't want to be targeted. But if I could get other people against Dasmos, he'd join.
Meanwhile, 18days has responded to my query. He makes it clear that he wanted me to keep vudu in the dark for his own amusement, and not because I was in any danger.
Quote
to: vudu
Alright, I'll try to wrangle up some troops.
BTW, um. This is a bit awkward. Do you think you're vudu? I mean, the investigator? I've gotten the impression from 18days that you do. You're not. You're the townie idiot. I'm vudu.
...unless I'm the townie idiot.
Vudu responds that he doesn't think he's the investigator, but doesn't respond to my assertion that he's the townie idiot. Did he just want to keep his cards close to his chest, in case I was a bad guy? Or was he embarrassed about being the idiot? Hmm. He also mentions that Pale said he's a townie, and that he's inclined to believe Pale.
Quote
to: 18days
Investigate pale please.
Day THREE:Pale is Jeff Shirely, says 18days. Then she corrects herself. Garnee is Jeff Shirely, pale is shift-key and on the funhouse team. 18days apologizes for her mistake.
Quote
to: 18days
That's fine. Investigate mario please.
Quote
to: vudu
pale is a member of funhouse mafia, same as dasmos. I'll join the Shift key bandwagon, it seems like he's in league with them.
Vudu says he's inclined to believe me, but asks if it wouldn't make more sense to rally the troops and go after a known mafia member.
Quote
to: vudu
I don't have troops! You're the only person I've investigated who's turned out to be innocent. Besides, it's a little late to start another bandwagon. Also, I'm afraid to stick my neck out.
But, fine, I'll pm some people, try to get a thing going against dasmos....
Vudu says he'll do the pming. He thought I was an intermediary, and not the actual investigator. I shouldn't, he thought, take any unnecessary risks. ...I had no objections to doing less work.
Quote
to: vudu
Okey dokey. If I vote for pale now, and you've told people you're in contact with the cop, it'll be a little too obvious I'm the cop. So I'll start by voting for someone else, then changing my vote.
Vudu says he sent PMS to MaryJane, Kairon, WindyMan, Spak-Spang, Artimus, ShyGuy and Athrun Zala. A little while later, vudu politely points out that, if the people he pmed see that he's the only one who's voted, they'll think he's full of sh*t.
Quote
to: vudu
Alright, alright. I've voted for him.
Vudu tells me athrun zala has requested that I investigate him.
Quote
to: vudu
Thanks. Investigated Athrun shall be.
Quote
to: 18days
Scratch that. Please investigate athrun zala instead.
Day FOUR:Quote
to: vudu
*bangs head against wall* It was so obvious, too:
http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/3306/rabiclepy2.png
Note in particular the part where she hints that the village idiot thinks he's the investigator, and the part where she gives pale the role of a dead guy, before correcting herself.
Vudu replies that when I told him he was the village idiot, he thought I was joking. He says he'll try to get out of this one, but that it doesn't look good. Later, he politely suggests that I might try to convince people that he's the bomber (I opt instead to tell the truth, but it's too late.)
I feel bad. I knew there would be a badwagon against vudu, and I should've defended him much earlier in the day. Oh well.
Quote
to: vudu
I went the honest route. Perhaps not the wisest move, we'll see...
There was a chance that the mafias would consider the townie idiot a threat. There was something in the rules about him possibly being able to figure out who the turncoats were. But...eh. They probably already knew who I was, and probably considered me an a low priority.
Athrun zala contacts me, and says he suspected I was the townie idiot, and that that's why he asked me to investigate him. He asks me if there's anyone I'm suspicious of.
Quote
to: athrun zala
I'm voting for kairon. There's what mario said, about him trying to save garnee twice. Then there's the fact that he acknowledged vudu might be telling the truth - and then voted for him anyway, which strikes me as suspicious.
Athrun says he's suspicious of kairon as well. He mentions he suspects pryo is an investigator. And he asks me about the mole's post.
Quote
to: athrun zala
I believe [the mole] about spak-spang being mafia, but I'm worried that he was just guessing when he said vudu was the bomber. If he was, and if he's wrong, no one will believe him about spak-spang....
Athrun says he thinks that vudu maybe is the bomber. I know vudu probably isn't - it was doubtful that the bomber's evil plan involved finding out who the village idiot was, getting false information from him, and then spreading it.
Quote
to: 18days
Investigate mario please.
18days tells me mario is S-U-P-E-R, double agent....which means he absolutely isn't S-U-P-E-R. Hey, it's something.
Day FIVE:ShyGuy contacts me about forming a townie alliance.
Quote
to: ShyGuy
Well, I've been in contact with athrun zala, but I kind of think he's mafia. Um, hm. I'll pm some people...
Quote
to: Mario
Why did you guys vote for ceric the other night? Did you have dirt on him? Because if there are any coordinated anti-mafia strikes going on, I'd like to be part of them.
I read over all the old threads for clues. I realize I've been confusing athrun zala with mystic gohan, and that athrun probably isn't mafia. I also realise something else. Meanwhile, ShyGuy pms to tell me he thinks mario may be on our side.
Quote
I was thinking the same thing. I shot him a pm.
BTW, I've been reading over the threads, and I take back what I said about Athrun Zala being a bad guy. Kairon, on the other hand, is so most definitely mafia. If no one has anything more concrete to go on, a bandwagon against him would be a good idea...
ShyGuy says he'll start the bandwagon. (Having other people do all the dirty work is fun.)
Quote
to: 18days
Investigate ceric please.
Day SIX:Quote
to: ShyGuy
Thanks for starting that bandwagon - yesterday couldn't have turned out better.
Ceric is an interesting case, isn't he? Shiftkey says he is mafia, Kairon says he's not (both are former members of funhouse mafia.) It could be that shiftkey knows that ceric is the bomber (or a townie), and is coyly treating it as a given that he's a mafia member so people will vote for him. Or it could be that kairon knows he's mafia, and is trying to protect him...while shiftkey knows there's no point in trying.
I wish I knew what was behind the previous bandwagon against ceric, the one vudu and I cut off. I tried asking mario, he hasn't responded.
ShyGuy says he's nervous of the bomber, and asks if I have any ideas about who the next target should be.
Quote
to: ShyGuy
Hrrm, well I'm suspicious of MysticGohan. He just seems mafia-ish to me. I have nothing hard on him, though.
Quote
to: MysticGohan
Heya. Who do you think we should vote for? What do you think of Ceric?
Mystic says he doesn't know, and mentions, in as suspicious a manner as possible, how deadly a mistake would be with the bomber around.
I vote for mystic, and then two other people do as well. And just to make sure I don't die....
Quote
to: 18days
Just to clarify: if mystic gohan is voted out, and if he happens to be the bomber, infernal and windy would die, and I wouldn't, right? Windy sneakily edited his original post instead of creating a new one.
18days says yes, that's what would happen, and thanks me for telling him about windy's edit, as he hadn't noticed. (Sorry, windy!)
And that's all she wrote.
This time around, I was even more lazy and cowardly than usual. I didn't deserve to win. But that's how it goes.
