Mafia 79: Nintendo of America Power Struggle - Day 3
« on: March 11, 2019, 07:52:07 PM »
After an unforeseen delay, the people of Nintendo were restless, as they were eager to know who would be the one to take Reggie’s throne. Though it was contentious, in their rage the crowd eliminated Cutestopher. Meanwhile, Shuntaro Furukawa and Doug Bowser had cornered ShyGuy in a vacant house and taken him out in brutal fashion.


Day 1 Results

Cutestopher, the Townie, was killed by the vote.
ShyGuy, the Townie, was killed by the Mafia and the Killer.


Day 3 will end at 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday, March 13 unless a majority of living players vote for the same player.

un-Vote Steefosaurus

Well, with 12 players left in the game, the majority needed to end the day early is 7 votes. This will make 2 votes. Not sure if we can get 5 more votes or not since there will probably be players scared this is some kind of trick but hopefully we can speed this day along. Voting out the killer should hopefully block that hit. Here's hoping the doctor can block the mafia's hit to really put the hurt on their chances. In any case, we can start taking them down in the next day. The godfather is going to be the tricky part but hopefully a couple townies can come forward to keep from any more wrong choices like Cutestopher.


EDIT: Never mind. This is a sad post that came from a sad place.

I'll vote Stevey I don't have any leads saying he's mafia or a townie. I just don't want to bandwagon vote. I also don't particularly want others to follow. I'm trying to have an ineffective vote.

I could change my vote with the right convincing too. Start your PM campaigns people.

Yeah...ok... ;D

Sorry all, I was out of pocket for much of the weekend because we adopted a 1 1/2 year old pix mix puppy, who is a big ol baby sweetheart, but also hasn't figured out yet that he isn't supposed to tear out of his crate and pick several spots to poop all over in our house....

I'll have to catch up on the days, but we're not in a good position here.  It's a stroke of luck that Mafia and the killer both targeted Shyguy.

The last thing I want is to be """"cool"""" like Lucario. vote MASB

All jokes aside, I'll lay out my full thoughts on the game later but for now I have to go out and try to get some streetpass so I'll just lay out some thoughts later. I wasted my day 1 investigation on BeautifulShy so I have nothing for that one.

stevey: I have no idea, he's impossible to read because I've noticed, and others have said the same thing, that he basically just lays low until the lategame and hopes to win that way. I was hoping to hop on thePerm's bandwagon against him to put some pressure on him and see what happens but thePerm isn't playing along. Khush claims he's an unreliable ally but I truly hope that he is a townie and that he can prove Khush wrong.

Decoyman: I'm pretty sure he's something but I mostly voted against him to put pressure on him yesterday.

Now for the elephant in the room.

Mop it Up's cat: I don't believe that he's the godfather or the killer because I don't believe he would have killed Mop it Up or BS on day 1, i'll get to the reasoning for that later but I have to get back to work. I revealed that I was the detective to him on day 2 and I'm still alive so unless he's playing some kind of high level game he's probably a townie. Than again this is Khushrenada so it's hard for me to trust him completely but I did trust him enough to try to save his skin by voting Cutestopher out on day 2.

I'll get to other people later on.

But wouldn't we be sticking together if we bandwagon? If we aren't bandwagoning then we aren't sticking together because we are all voting our own separate ways.

Vote Lucario for lacking logic.

//I should say my role-playing is just for fun and doesn't correlate with anything. I was just too lazy sentimental to change my decades-old avatar and also too easily bored to play as normal chibi robo, ha

Now, to get down to business… It sounds like pokepal is using the logic and the strategy, so I am inspired and going to try that too. Time to delve into the back-threads for a little research...

Breaking character because Mop It Up's Cat hasn't really responded to Stevey's vote, except to tie it up with an unrelated vote.  This makes me think they may be in cahoots.  Also, Mop's Cat lead the bandwagon against Cuteshopper, who was a townie.

PokePal also quickly joined that bandwagon to give it momentum.  And, if you used Mop's Cat's logic from Day 2 on the events from Day 2, you get PokePal as a mafio.

Anyway, put the smiles back on the faces and vote Mop It Up's Cat.

Unless it's Stevey, which is still pretty possible.

Mop it Up's cat kindly provided me with a bunch of essentially player bios for the current game during day 2. As shitty as it is to leak PMs (seriously kids, don't leak PMs, do as I say, not as I'm about to do, because what I am about to do is incredibly fucking shitty, there's a reason why I'm only doing this now that the town is basically screwed and that I didn't do it yesterday for example.) I strongly believe that this information is our only chance left for a townie victory.

I always consider the game as a sort of logic puzzle. You have the list of names and the list of roles and you have to figure out who belongs to which role and the sooner you do that then the better your chances of winning.

There are various ways to do that. The first is to vote someone out and then learn their role for certain. (This applies to night action elimination roles). Only problem is you could eliminate a role that is useful to your side. With an investigation role, you can learn someone's role. But there could be certain conditions on some roles leading to false info and there is the BS situation where you investigate someone only for them to die when you investigate thereby slowing down progress. The other way is to have someone reveal their role to you but they could be lying.

Based on what we know so far and what I believe to be true, we know the following:

BeautifulShy - Townie
Khushrenada - Townie
Mop it up - Townie
Pokepal148 - Detective
Stratos - Townie

That leaves us with 12 players left. There are 6 roles: Godfather, Goon 1, Goon 2, Killer, Bomber and Doctor as well as 6 regular townie roles left. That means you have a 50/50 chance of investigating someone with a role right now. But the godfather role makes things murky as you could investigate it and not realize you were right about them being a suspect. The question is, how can we increase the odds of making the investigations target someone with a role? The more we can cross off players who may be a townie or keep in mind players who seem likely to have a role will help. So, by looking at the current game activities are there players we can make such deductions about? I believe so. Let's look at them all.

ShyGuy - I'll start with him since I'm really getting a townie vibe with ShyGuy. I don't think he's the bomber because he's mentioned being afraid of voting out the bomber. As he told me in Discord yesterday, " I'm changing my vote off of you, too much of a bomb risk". Could be saying that to make people think he's not the bomber and target him later but I don't see ShyGuy trying to make such an elaborate ruse. Likewise, he has been willing to vote early, often and change his vote around on both days. That can get a lot of enemies or seem suspicious as someone trying to just target anyone for a vote but, to me, if he is not the bomber trying to get attention then he's probably a townie since a mafia or killer will generally not try to keep such a high voting profile for fear of being targeted by a vote or night hit.

ThePerm - Also, scared of the bomber which suggests to me he is not the bomber. Again, like ShyGuy, I don't see that comment as the start of some long con in trying to set up other players to think he is a safe vote later by being scared of the bomber now. As well, from past games, his current behaviour fits his M.O. of being a townie. He's semi-active but cautious in voting or targeting someone and wants more info to make an informed decision. If you want to compare his last two games of Mafia 75 and 76 to this one, I think you'll see that the behavior is about the same. Although, you have to know that he was Moblin in the Mafia 75 game. What's interesting there is that he lays out how he would play if he was a mafia member. Whether that is true or not is hard to say since I haven't done further research but it is something to keep in mind. Admittedly, this townie belief comes more from past history than the current game but, like poker, reading people is part of the fun and does play a factor and that's how I'm reading him.

Morningshark - What can we say about MS? Only player to not have posted anything so far. Mop it up voted for him and then she was hit by the mafia. New player with no past history to draw on. Could he be laying low as mafia and hit Mop it up from fear out in a rookie type move? Perhaps. But I think what is most noteworthy is that his profile shows he was last active on the forums early Friday morning. This means that he has not seen the results of the Day 1 night actions nor has he seen anything that has occurred in Day 2 yet. This suggests to me that either he is a new player that is confused by the game or just doesn't care for it based on Day 1 and so just isn't bothering with it much (and that has happened before) or he's got no role and therefore doesn't feel any need to be checking in and keeping up with the game. The Mop it up vote seems to have got no attention from him (if he even saw it) so what's his deal? If he doesn't check in on the forums until after Day 3 is posted and the godfather and killer both made a hit then we can probably rule out MS as one of those roles since I doubt he would have planned ahead to create timestamps on his profile to lead people astray. For now, I'm checking him off as lonely townie who doesn't know what is going on and no one is around to help him or explain things to him leaving him lost.

MASB - Another new player with no past history to draw on. He's been active though. No expression of fear in throwing out votes so far based on Day 1 play. It's not unusual for mafia players to focus a lot on roleplaying in the day threads as a form of smokescreen. However, MASB really seems to be about the roleplay even posting about it on Discord last night in the hopes that his senpai Crimm could know about it and hopefully watch him roleplay. According to ShyGuy, MASB reached out to him on Day 1 (perhaps because of his Discord presence) and seems to be sticking with ShyGuy and focusing on him in his roleplay as well. I'm partly impressed by MASB taking the initiative to contact another player via PM but I don't know whether to take that as a sign of innocence and looking for guidance or that he has a role and is looking for a partner to help protect him. For now, since he seems more focused about how well he is roleplaying and trying to be funny, I'm going to chalk him up as possible townie.

Lolmonade - He voted for me. I didn't like that. I never trust any player that targets me early. Too many actual mafia players have done that which wasn't so bad since it often exposed a mafia member early but I'm now always quick to think mafia when I get a vote like that. However, like Morningshark, lolmonade's activity has dropped off. He was last around after Day 2 was posted on March 8 and hasn't been back on since. I feel that if he was mafia then he'd have been around a bit more these past few days to check in and monitor the situation or for that matter if he had any role. This also means that he would not have known about the extended vote time period today so if he was going to send in a night action then I'm not sure he'd have sent it in immediately on Day 2 and then vanished. It's possible he could be the bomber and maybe he was hoping to start a vote against himself by making me target him. However, based on this lack of activity and past game actions, I'm putting him down as potential townie or someone to not vote against in case he is the bomber.

That's 5 players to not worry about investigating or voting for right now. What about the remaining 7? That will be my next pm.

These 7 should probably be the main focus over the next few days.

Decoyman
Lucario
Nickmitch
NWR_DrewMG
Steefosaurus
Stevey
Cutestopher

What can be said about them?

Decoyman - When I think of Decoyman, I think of Mafia 19. He played the best at hiding his mafia self from the townies and his surprise elimination by the killer brought the rest of the mafia crashing down. His ability to stay active during the day and participate as served him well in fooling many people and making it hard to read him. However, that may no longer be the case. If you compare Mafia 19 and Mafia 65 there is a bit of a difference. In 19, he was mafia. In 65, he was a townie. In both games, he posted a lot during the days and focused on a lot of roleplay. Hence my earlier comment about roleplay sometimes acting as a smokescreen for mafia players. The difference is in how little Decoyman actually casts meaningful votes in 19 compared to 65. Thus, based on the current play shown by him, this would seem to indicate he is back on the mafia side with his lack of voting as you have already noted. Now, Decoyman (and his real life friend DrewMG) have both been away since early evening yesterday and neither has seen the sudden couple votes cast for Decoyman. This is the one thing that might indicate innocence. This means that neither Decoyman nor DrewMG have seen Insanolord's announcement about the day being extended. While Decoyman could have left thinking he was safe yesterday, you'd think he'd have shown up by now if he had a night action to perform or to make sure the situation was still good for himself. If he knew he couldn't be around at all today then maybe he sends something in earlier but I'm just not sure that would be the case. As well, there really hasn't been a push back against the couple votes for Decoyman. I haven't been given more votes nor has another option been given out. You'd think there might be more activity after suddenly gaining some votes and possibly losing a mafia member. So, are we misreading Decoyman's lack of votes based on past behaviour or are we wrong that he is a townie threat? Perhaps he is the doctor. He's definitely a bit of a puzzle to solve but is he worth solving now by eliminating him or is that a mistake?

DrewMG - Voted Decoyman right away on Day 1 but I saw that as two friends saying hi to each other. Not a real vote but a way to establish communication. I really don't think he'd have stuck with a Decoyman vote if it started to snowball. However, he was very quick to vote for me on Day 2. Is that because of the results and people assuming with my reputation that I helped orchestrate a big townie loss by removing a bunch of veterans and townies? Or is he hoping to lead townies in voting out their own and maybe eliminate what he thinks could be a threat to his game? Like Decoyman, he's disappeared since about the same time as yesterday so he doesn't seem to concerned with keeping up with the game or any sending in possible night actions. Maybe he's the bomber. Maybe he's the doctor and is protecting his pal Decoyman and already sent in his night actions. Is he worth voting out or investigating? That is the question.

Lucario - I would say he's not the bomber based on his Day 2 comment. But I also think he's got a role. Lucario comes and goes during a mafia game and even when he has a role and is part of the mafia, he doesn't always show up or seem to keep track of game days. Yet, he was concerned enough to ask if Day 2 had started yet on Discord yesterday which suggests to me that it is because he has some role of importance that he wanted to try and keep up with the game and not miss out. Of course, trying to figure out how his mind works is a bit of a fool's errand and he might be innocent but I feel Lucario has some information of value tied to him. Killer, Mafia or Doctor? I'm not sure but I think I'd vote him out to learn his role since I don't think he's the bomber.

Stevey - I'll say this about stevey. There is no harder player to figure out then stevey. He gives out very little info. Won't send out messages and mostly lays low in the game in the hopes of not bringing attention to himself so that he can survive late into the game and hopefully swoop in for a win. Pretty much the only way to solve him is to put a lot of pressure on him through a vote or investigate/eliminate him. Yet, I hate to investigate him since I've found him hard to work with in an alliance / group even if he is on my side yet I hate to eliminate him in case he's got a role that benefits the townie side. Would he hit Mop it up as godfather? I feel he would and has done so before. But my history also complicates things.

Nickmitch - A bit similar to stevey. Will try and keep low if he can. Makes it hard to read him. But he'll work with you if on your side. Got some attention Day 1 but shook it off. Has thrown out a vote for me today. What's interesting about that it was the fourth vote for me at that point and after ThePerm already warned about the bomber. Lucario then followed up about the bomber. Either nickmitch doesn't care or he doesn't think I seem like the bomber to him. Or, it could be he is the bomber and thus not worried about being in a large bandwagon or being a deciding vote. With the vote already being 3-1 in my favor, there was no need for Nickmitch to stick his neck out to add to my vote total even if he was mafia and saw this as a chance to eliminate a game threat. And if Cutestopher or DrewMG were also mafia with him then I don't think he'd join them in the same vote for someone that could be the bomber. Based on what we've seen so far, nickmitch is my leading candidate for the bomber. Could be another role or townie also but, right now, I'm going with that.

Steefosaurus - Wasn't around on the forums when Insanolord sent out the roles and didn't show up until Day 2 started. Thus, he is not the godfather or killer. However, he could still be a mafia goon. In fact, I think that very thing happened before in Lucario's YouTube mafia where Steef was your mafia buddy but missed Day 1 and showed up on Day 2. His current vote against you is certainly not helping his case. However, he may be the very person to target with an investigation tonight. He could come back townie but even if he does, due to his absence on Day 1, we know he can't be the godfather so we can trust him with info and freely work with him unlike investigating someone else and having them come back as a townie. Plus, if we're mostly right about who may be a regular townie then there could be a high chance of discovering a role by investigating Steef. That's my thinking on him at least.

Cutestopher - Another new player making it challenging to figure him out with no past history to know what sort of player he is like. He says he's played the game before in real life so he's got some familiarity with it. ShyGuy claims that Cutestopher also reached out to him in PM about working with him. Why? A lot of the same questions I have about MASB apply to Cutestopher. He's also staying active and checking in on the game. Is it new player eagerness coupled with having a role in the game? He voted for ShyGuy on Day 1. This, I think, led them to talk to each other. After that, Cute has sort of followed ShyGuy's lead. ShyGuy voted for Stratos and then Cute did as well. ShyGuy voted for me and then Cute did as well. I say "sort of" because in both cases, ShyGuy would later change his vote but Cute has not changed his vote after. Now, the fact that he is willing to try and start a bandwagon with ShyGuy may indicate that he could be the bomber and is thus not scared of getting killed by voting out the bomber. But it could also be that Cute is just not thinking of that possibility or too worried about it since I don't think the bomber role comes up much in real life games. However, the fact that he seems to want to start a bandwagon based on whom ShyGuy chooses makes me question his motives. That is why I have MASB as potential townie but Cute as potential mafia.


And that's my current thinking on this game.

The problem is that Mop it Up's Cat is untrustworthy. I am 99.9% certain that he isn't the killer, and around 60% certain that he isn't the godfather but he has given me a fair bit of reason to question my continued trust in him (I've learned that he doesn't seem to like it when I withhold information from him despite the fact that I've stated multiple times that I don't completely trust him, and nickmitch raised an interesting point about his Cutestopher vote although he did provide more reasoning to me) and he certainly hasn't earned the trust of most of the playerbase so we have one course of action left:

vote Mop it Up's cat

If he is a townie as he claims, (or best case scenario, he's the killer) than we can use this information to chart a path to victory. If he is Mafia, than we can assume that he fabricated some or all of this information and go from there.

Whoever the doctor is, it goes without saying but I'll probably need protection.

Edit: cut out some personal jabs at Mop's Cat's request.

The more I read this post, the more flawed it looks. Change of plans, let's vote Nickmitch

Stevey has a known vedetta :ph: against Khushrenada so him voting against Khush and basically getting ignored is a very regular occurrence. Any longtime player, including Nickmitch who's been doing this for longer than I have, should know this.

Cutestopher was a part of the bandwagon that was formed against Mop's cat so mop's cat just voted against him because he felt Cute was suspicious at the time.

The part where I think he claims I might be "mafio" is fine, I guess, (I honestly have no idea what that last part is supposed to be) but I literally explained my reasoning for that two posts above. The fact that you don't even acknowledge that explanation (even if to just say you think it's BS) is kind of remarkable.

Honestly this is kind of remarkable. I can't believe I didn't catch any of this the first time I read that post.

Mop it up Cat's initial suspicions for me aside (I didn't know he was Khushrenada cosplaying as a soon to be tasty treat for Mop it up), I voted against him day 1 as a lark for voting against Mop it up, because day 1 never has any valuable insight for voting patterns - it's always a crapshoot.

It's clear Mop it up Cat was effective at rallying people to vote in his interest, he even tried to get my support (regretfully aforementioned adopted doggo kept me from being on my computer before the vote deadline on day 2). 

He's got a well known track record of being able to play the game effectively sometimes for devious ends, but I think we have a better chance to overcome this bad start with him in game than out. 

I agree with Pokepal - Nickmitch's logic for voting against Mop it up cat is suspect, since yesterday was clearly a self-preservation vote, something I think anyone here would attempt.

Vote Nickmitch for the time being unless someone wants to communicate with me who might be more likely a Mafia.

I vote nickmitch. Billy had his suspicions, but no absolute proof before they found him. Best Friend Krysta still thinks nick is not the real Perrin Kaplan.

Breaking character because Mop It Up's Cat hasn't really responded to Stevey's vote, except to tie it up with an unrelated vote.  This makes me think they may be in cahoots.  Also, Mop's Cat lead the bandwagon against Cuteshopper, who was a townie.

PokePal also quickly joined that bandwagon to give it momentum.  And, if you used Mop's Cat's logic from Day 2 on the events from Day 2, you get PokePal as a mafio.

Anyway, put the smiles back on the faces and vote Mop It Up's Cat.

Unless it's Stevey, which is still pretty possible.



Known cat hater Stevey has a long history of anti-cat voting. Likewise, this hip cat has a long history of just ignoring his anti-cat vote. What sort of response do you think was necessary?

I also find it interesting that you didn't see the need to vote for me when I voted Steefosaurus but when I voted Lucario then you made your post and vote. Trying to protect a fellow mafia member? And yet, I wouldn't put it past you to be working with stevey in the mafia and still make the claim at the end that stevey could be highly possible as mafia in an effort to shield yourself and look innocent in case stevey goes down somehow while you choose to focus on voting an innocent (me) versus him.

Vote Nickmitch

Chibi robo tap-tap-taps his way down the ventilation shaft until he sees a dim light and hears indistinct voices. He props open the vent with his spoon quietly, so quietly, then sits down, dangling his legs over the edge, and watches silently.

Below he sees Reggie Fils-Aimes and Doug Bowser arguing over something. They are shouting and gesturing wildly, but it all sounds like gibberish to Chibi robo. He is interrupted by the sound of whirring nearby. Spinning around, he whips out his Drake Redcrest blaster and points it in the direction of the noise. It is Telly, shaking nervously.

Telly: bl fhbhlah blf ahlhvlh bahl blbhlblah (Chibi, I'm worried about you. What is going on? You can talk to me!)

Chibi robo remains silent, pointing the blaster at the annoying helicopter tv. It is at this point that they both realize that it is suddenly very quiet in the room below. Chibi risks a glance down, but the two executives are nowhere to be seen. He turns back toward Telly, but Telly has disappeared as well. But sitting there in the ventilation shaft where Telly had been… is Chibi robo's arm. It has been polished and the wires and gears prepared for reattachment.

Chibi turns back to the empty room, puts away the blaster, and sits.

And sits.

And sits.

But what I want to know is why does Perrin Kaplan hate cats so much? She wanted to eliminate me on Day 2 and now Day 3. Doesn't she know that cats bring millions of smiles to peoples faces every day? We are responsible for 40% of the internet thanks to stuff like this:




Or is that with Mop it up out of the way, you think you can swoop in and turn me into a cat kebob for yourself? Evil human! Cats are for lovin' not for eatin'.

The more I read this post, the more flawed it looks. Change of plans, let's vote Nickmitch

Stevey has a known vedetta :ph: against Khushrenada so him voting against Khush and basically getting ignored is a very regular occurrence. Any longtime player, including Nickmitch who's been doing this for longer than I have, should know this.

Cutestopher was a part of the bandwagon that was formed against Mop's cat so mop's cat just voted against him because he felt Cute was suspicious at the time.

Honestly this is kind of remarkable. I can't believe I didn't catch any of this the first time I read that post.

The vendetta argument is shaky at best. Stevey did not vote for him in Mafia 78, and Khush didn't play 77, so it's a bit more inconsistent than that.  Also, in Mafia 76, when Stevey did vote Khush, it was on day 1, a day when joke votes make the most sense, not 5 townies deaths into the game.

Cute being suspicious doesn't mean much when Cute is now both dead and a confirmed townie.

Also, I kinda just skimmed your post. Revealing yourself as the detective is a high-risk move.  Not as high as trusting Khushrenda though.

You're counting two votes from Mop It Up's Cat in your tally, if I'm counting right.  Though, Morningshark's vote fixes that discrepancy, he posted after you edited your post.  This means Khush is cheating and should thusly be disqualified.

That risk is diminished when you know who the doctor is. (And it is not Lucario... [or is it?])

Only death I'm responsible for is the Cutestopher vote out and I'm not happy about it. I really thought I was onto something with how he had been playing. But to say I'm responsible for all townie deaths is ludicrous. I didn't vote out Stratos. In fact, at this point, nearly everyone who did vote for him was revealed to be a townie. Only MASB is the one player we don't know about since he's still alive. In fact, Stratos even sent me a pm wanting to work together. I really didn't want to put that much effort into this game so I told him I might not be the best partner. Still, once he started getting more votes, I thought I should try and do something to help him and suggested Steefosaurus as a vote but then I cancelled that idea. It just seemed too late to do anything about it. Nickmitch, however, made no vote.

Then on Day 2, you tried to get me lynched and have only voted for me the so far this game on Day 2 and 3. Probably since you figure I'd be gone so and could wave away your vote simply because I'm Khushrenada and just being who I am makes me the "best" choice. Even though the two people who voted nickmitch on Day 1 (ShyGuy and BeautifulShy) are both dead now. But to think I somehow orchestrated the Stratos vote, worked with killer or mafia to assure two more townie deaths and then worked with the killer or mafia to hit the same target while voting out a townie to get 5 townie deaths is an absurd bit of logic. At least I'm trying but putting forth theories and looking at behaviour. ShyGuy was trying as well but targeting different players to make them active and play. So was Mop it up.

Night actions are going to be interesting tonight. I suspect myself and pokepal will be high priority targets. Problem is that neither the killer nor the mafia will want to hit the same target like they did with ShyGuy. They both need the numbers to dwindle. So, they may assume the other party will target one of us and choose a different player. Yet, it is hard to target someone else when pokepal is clearly a threat based on his ability and I've made myself a threat again by leading two votes. However, because we are high profile and know the doctor, that means there is a high percent chance that a vote against one of us will fail anyways (although I'm sure these players will be questioning whether we actually know the doctor or if it is just a ruse) and having a hit (or potentially both hits) fail because of targeting a player protected by the doctor may be even worse than both targeting the same player. So, do the godfather and killer chance it by targeting one of us or do they go in another direction and hope they can take us out at another time or by us voting the bomber?

Of course, if nickmitch is not mafia then the mafia may not care since that will put more pressure on me with people thinking I'm pulling a big con. Since trust seems to be fraying at times with myself and pokepal, perhaps that situation will implode on itself. Likewise, the killer may not care since he just needs people gone from this game whether mafia or not. Plus, there is the fact that the mafia and the killer kind of both need each other gone and they may be the biggest threats to each other. With just one good hit, the mafia could take out the killer and thus end his game and control the night. Likewise, the killer could hit a mafia player and really torpedo their chances. By eliminating the mafia then the killer doesn't have to worry about getting hit in the night and just has to keep blending in for now. Thus, do the mafia and killer try for townies or each other?

I don't know how the night actions are going to turn out but there's a lot of critical thinking and second guessing to be done for this night. The night actions tonight feel like they may decide the game or be the turning point based on the many ways it may unfold. Even though I may be targeted, I have to say, it is going to make for the most exciting portion of the game and crunch time has now arrived for all parties.

I never said you were responsible for all five deaths.  I brought up the 5 deaths to state how far we are in the game and the fact that there hasn't been on non-townie death.  The stakes are a little high to be dismissive of any vote.

Targeting people who voted for you as mafia is a rookie move, and I'm frankly insulted you would think I would do such a thing.

MASB has voted for me twice now, so maybe you'll vote him out next when you see I'm a townie.
