Standard Mafia Game Thread - Mafia Wins!

[Todd Bertuzzi]

Have we not learned yet that it is nearly impossible to deduce anyone's alignment based on voting patterns? Mafia vote for mafia as well as good guys, and vice versa.

I thought your accusations against me were pretty justified, which is why I didn't make a big issue about you voting me. When I've been evil in the past, I'll make some insane post at the beginning of the game, like the Vikes pornography scene I illustrated at the beginning. So when you said I was playing classic evil, I let it slide because I figured you recognized that from the past.

IBC, though, doesn't make me empathize with his stance. I'm more active and vocal than ever, so that makes him think I'm evil. When I've been evil, I'm usually more reserved, so why would I all of the sudden pull a 180 in my playing style if I drew evil again? Sure, change things up a little bit, but with how I've played this game, I've drawn the attention of everybody. Why would I put myself in the spotlight like that, especially if I were the GF who could skate by as a townie by just playing the middle? It's more of a risk than playing my typical way.

If Deep just did what I think he did, and it's not JR, then I'm going IBC, with the other options now being fenikz, R4L, and UKfan.

Anyway, I keep telling myself that TH would never pull this sort of trick on me. I have no reason to think he's evil, just need to always remember that he's too cool for that whenever he brings up our special alignment bond. He would never stoop to Rufus level.

I determined Vikes was evil in the last game using voting patterns. Yes, I know bad guys will vote for fellow bad guys and I know good guys will vote for good guys. But I also know that there are at least 4, probably five mafia members and one of them likely didn't vote for Gonzo.

[Todd Bertuzzi]

Deep can you clear anyone else now that you're sort of out there (for what reason I still can't fathom)?

[SuperMcGee]

I feel like people never know what IBC is. He's always dangerous.

I'll go ahead and disagree. It's not black and white but it's very possible. Moreso with serial killers.

Take me and Scotty out. CJ doesn't count because he wasn't in the game. I get a good vibe from Jvig because he came in late to defend Gonzo. The lynch was nearly inevitable. I don't think he is dumb enough to defend a fellow mafia member that late in the game.

That leaves UKFan, TH, Todd, and IBC. Three of them did not vote at all. TH voted for Renji.

To be fair I was at lunch. 95% of the time my lunch hour is from 12:30-1:30 EST.

[TitanHope]

Can we get that extensions, Grizz? If not, what happens if we hit the time limit? Russian Roulette?

My summary over the first 3 days thus far led me to Todd.

I was planning to let Rob make this decision. My preference is to always allow the town to come to a consensus but he likes Russian Roulette. I'm just along for the ride here though so, at the very least, you have until he comes back as we never made an official decision on what would happen.

[vidae]

I'll admit that the more I go back and read the posts the more concerned I am about IBC. Something about his posts are rubbing me the wrong way, and not the good-in-the-no-no-place kind. I admit that I'm doing the thing I generally don't like as I have no real proof, but I don't like the tone of his posts. It reminds me of when I've been Mafia with him.

Not ready to vote just yet but I'm leaning IBC here.

Todd is one of those names that whenever I do any additional research, his name comes up.

[jrdrylie]

I'm with you on IBC too Vidae. These three posts in particular.

Right now Gonzo seems like the guy to lynch. While this could be a slam dunk it also could be a loss for the town if in fact he is a jailkeeper. As others have noted JR seems to be backing Gonzo and something has just seemed off about him.

We could always look at lynching JR and hold off on lynching Gonzo after getting info from JR's death and another night of info.

This isn't only because he criticized me. I would have been interested in this post no matter who he suggested lynching. He softly defends Gonzo by saying that, since I was defensing Gonzo, maybe the town should lynch me and gather information from it.

Once again criticizing me for defending Gonzo. Trying to distance himself from Gonzo?

Lynch Gonzo because there is a high probability that he is evil
and
Lynch Vidae because Gonzo says so...

... Okay well lets make that one reasonable plan

So there is a high probability that Gonzo is evil, but he doesn't vote for him? He blames his lunch hour, but the thread was open for quite a while.

Vote IBC

[ImBrotherCain]

Oh JR you are silly.

I have no problem with Vid voting me... hell he has a "feeling" but you are voting me because I suggested we lynch you instead of possibly wasting a power role... Sure I was wrong and sure I didn't vote but if you clearly check the time between my posts there was none between 12:30 and 1:30 because I was at lunch.

I then got back and posted in the Discussion Thread.

Check the time stamp... 1:39.

The same generally goes for TH... he is mad at me for thinking his posting habits are suspicious. Oh well. Such is life... I can honestly say that I have attempted to do my due diligence in sussing those who want us dead but if you wish to have my head all of you will only be missing a quality member of the town.

[TitanHope]

I'm not mad at you. I just don't buy your reasoning.

Also, I'd rather vote someone I've got as an alternate than take this thing to RR, so I'm changing my vote to UKfan.

Unvote: ImBrotherCain
Vote: UKfan

[vidae]

I'm going to go with my gut and my strongest suspicion here.

vote : IBC

[TitanHope]

I've gotta go, but I'm keeping my vote at UKfan. If Rob is cool with granting us until tomorrow morning, then I'll change my vote back to IBC, but I feel UKfan is our best bet to avoid RR. I'm the 4th vote, so if he gives ya'll another hour or five, hopefully 5 guys can switch over. Because I'd seriously rather us choose who to lynch than it be luck.

Besides, ATL has a vote for CJ, and I'm pretty sure CJ inherited that vote from SP. That's not fair to CJ if he gets thrown into RR.

[jrdrylie]

I'm pretty sure the 24 hour limit is upon us. I don't know when Rob will be back, but this thread could close at any time. Maybe those of us who haven't voted should do so to avoid whatever Rob has up his sleeve.

As 24 hours pass, the town is still very fractured. With accusations thrown on nearly everyone still alive. As the day comes to a close, everyone who has a firm suspicion vast against them is sent to the middle of town square. As they are lined up, a firing squard lines up across from them. The seven triggers are pulled and those in the line cringe. Apparently, only one gun was loaded.

TitanHope (Townie) has been killed by Russian Roulette amongst those having votes.

Send in your night actions to both me and Rob, you have 24 hours but please be quicker!

[Rob S]

sorry I wasn't around.....I suppose there was a small chance I could've granted an extension. The way this day went overall was pretty lame though with a lot of people not contributing, so I don't feel overly sympathetic.

[Grizzlegom]

The town awakens, unhappy with yesterday's result. Today, they find two of their most powerful members have met their demise.

As they walk down Main Street, the first body they find is SuperMcGee. His body strung up in the middle of town, a bullet hole in the middle of his forehead. This is a loss that the town would certainly mourn.

SuperMcGee (Doctor) has been killed.

As the town continues to look around, they find Jrdrylie's body in a back alley. Jrdrylie was strung up on the balcony and apparently sawed in half...

Jrdrylie (Mason) has been killed.

With 14 alive, 8 votes are needed for majority.

[Caddy]

Anyone want to suggest where we should go? Also I'd love to hear from the other mason.
