Mafia #7 -- The Play

This post is driving me nuts simply because after looking at "find other post" for sploke, you see sploke posted like 25 other times in other forums the same day...but didn't have time to look into things here and needs to wait until tomorrow to do own looking? Why wouldn't you have been looking to try and help the town out here more, if you had enough time to go to all the other forums to post? Maybe it is just me though who knows.


I never said I didn't have time...and if you look at the posting, the majority of it happened last evening/night after I left work. Like I said, I have more time during the day, so it sometimes takes me a while to get caught up after a flurry of activity between 7pm and midnight.
 
I agree that Ice's back peddling is something of a concern.

I know that people do not agree, but this first day we are all pretty much in the dark. If we get a mafia, then great, the odds are in our favor to get one.

At this point, I do not see any glaring signs that Swayde is any more mafia than anyone else. It really seems these first few days we lynch the vocal ones.

While I am not against lynching Swayde, because we will learn something from it, I am not sure if I like the idea of so many people voting the same way on the first day.

Also, the person starting the train is not always the one leading the train.

If Swayde is innocent, then I think we should look into Ice.

If Swayde is mafia, then we should look at those that did not vote for her or voted late. I do not think the mafia would vote for their own on the first day.
 
Ok, I thought it out....while I'm not 100% certain Swayde is mafia I have already expressed serious concerns about chicken (the person, not the food)....I feel more comfortable voting for someone who I feel is mafia rather than someone who I've been convinced MIGHT be mafia...I may end up out on my own with this vote, but I'm ok with that...

I unvote Swayde and recast my vote for watachicken.
 
Hey, I'm workin' on it.

As far as who i think is leaning innocent at this time, Dangerdoll and Madcrawdad. I read their posts and nothing stuck out and ave me a bad feeling about them.

Leaning mafia - Swayde, of course. . . . for someone who is busy and can't post a lot, she definitely seems to be overcoming her schedule and posting quite a bit.

Also JohnLarson. . . . at this point, after having several games where everyone was encouraged to go invisible, he still refuses to do so. His basic argument is that he doesn't use PM's when he is mafia so you wouldn't catch him anyway, so it's not worth checking. I think it's more a matter of screaming "I'm innocent, I'm innocent!" without having to say a word. Not invisible? Must have nothing to hide, so I'll overlook him. I think he's just using it as a reverse psychology bluff.

We are all going to say we are innocent. It is not reverse psychology. I think I should be on the list of suspected mafia. Just as the rest of the players. Do not overlook anyone.

My arguement is that I do not choose to go invisible. If this gets me lynched so be it. It is not a rule that I must go invisible and I do not see the benefit of it. I am also not the only one that has choosen not to go invisible.

I do find it odd that I am the only one that has had to defend his position on it.
 
i retract my vote for swayde

something tells me she's innocent..
 
I just want to point out I wasn't the one to start this train, in case it ends up bad.


that line there is baffling to me. If he truely feels that swayde is mafia, which his vote would reflect, why on earth would he feel the need to say something like this?

I dont know what everyone else is thinking, but i wouldnt be opposed to an vote for ice switch over after a comment like that.
 
i will be at a yankee game tommorow at 12pm-4pm, after that i will be shopping around the city for a few birds, after that i may have a chance to get online..but i wanted to get my vote in just incase i miss tommorow

i'll be here everyday after, no need to worry..i'll try my best to help out like last game ;)

sorry guys..got a little mixed up here..i went to bed thinking the day game was today..its actually tomorrow..good thing i checked.

so i'll be around today to check in from time to time :)

Charlie and Mad both made points about it but didn't vote till after I did. Could they be mafia? Planting the seed and seeing if anyone waters it till it grows into a tree capable of hanging a noose from?

If Sway is innocent, though she isn't exactly fighting the train, they are 2 I would look at closely.

Isn't this pretty much like the same reason ppl got on swayde "defending before attacked?" Ice you really worry me with this post
 
Well since there is so much suspicion but no body is manning up to throw a vote that way I guess I'll start, but dammit don't go holding it over my head if we're wrong.
I vote to lynch Sway

Wow I wasn't saying that at all.

Sway posted in the sign up thread that she wouldn't be posting much. People do that in case they get a mafia role so they can lay low.

Sway then reiterated that she wasn't going to be around much in the game thread. Again reminding us she would be laying low, did she get the mafia role?

Saying you're going to be laying low is almost the same as posting you're an innocent. A red flag type post.

I'm not the only one to poiint it out. Actually Charlie or Mad was 1st, I just decided that you only get answers through actions. I acted ,responses are coming in.

LOL Sorry was watching the Big Brother girls on Power of 10.

Yeah I saw him on earlier, though I'd come back to a post by him too



But the point mee mee is that she had already said it, there was no reason to resay (is that a word) it in the game thread unless she is hiding something. She went out of her way to make sure we knew she was going to be a low poster.

You have already said this a couple times actually Ice so why "resay" it?
I still feel comfortable with my vote and am not changing it...but wanted to point this out, are you trying to distance yourself?
 
Wow Ice, you sure are trying really hard to cover your *** because you know that when I am lynched and come up as Innocent people will start to look at those who were pushing the hardest, and whether you started it or not, you sure are pushing for it the loudest and hardest.

Oh and look, now Ice is trying to sow the seed of doubt so that when I show up as Innocent he can get people to believe I was a Don and not really an Innocent to take the heat off himself.

Here'a a post that makes me nervous. Day of the lynch, and you want to point out it was Mad and i that started all this, in case it goes bad. Makes me think you already know its going to go bad. With little to go on, Sway is the best thing i could come up with. Believe me, i understand its a thin case, but she doesn't seem to be fighting too hard to find a replacement. If a better case were made by someone i would change my vote. Others i am looking closely at:
Joander- skimming the thread, as well his odd posts especially the ones around the time he voted for sway
Jpap- seemed to wanna get his vote out early, makes me a little edgy
KOTD- what 3-4 posts now??? Is this mafia or a power role lying low??

The speed with which this train on Swayde got going makes me really uneasy. If the mafia know she is innocent (or at least not on their own mafia team), they're going to be quick to jump on early. If she's an innocent, then thats 10 people rather than just 5 that will be willing to go along with it. With this many mafia I think we're going to have to be very wary of the trains getting started like this. Also, Ice so pointedly making it clear that, "hey, when we lynch an innocent, it wasn't my fault"...why making it that clear, you know something we don't?

Z's post from yesterday is still nagging at me, so just as an attempt to stir up some trouble

I vote to lynch ZSandmann

There are 2 things that have happened since my last posts that concern me...The Ice back-peddle makes me VERY leary....It seems like people only want to cover their tracks if they have something to hide. The second thing is that I placed so huge concerns about watachicken out there and her only response was the the computer was acting up but then it was time to watch a movie. No strong defense, no suspect list to say "I know I was unable to help, but here's my contribution to the town now that I'm back." I'm tempted to change my vote but I'm going to think on it a bit before heading out to work....

i agree DC that the ice back peddle scares me a bit too. It seems as if he knows what swayde is and doesnt want to be associated with his death. It def spooks me.

I agree that Ice's back peddling is something of a concern.

I know that people do not agree, but this first day we are all pretty much in the dark. If we get a mafia, then great, the odds are in our favor to get one.

K guys I knew when I left this morning I didn't explain it well. I shouldn't post before my 1st cup of coffee.

My 1st vote was nothing more than that.A quick vote to get things rolling. 2 people had already posted numerous times about Sway and her not going to be around post. But no one wanted to be the 1st voter, for the very reason that they didn't want to be a train starter.

I voted to get discussions going. I DIDN'T know that EVERYONE was just going to jump in and vote Sway. I was looking for a Sway response and for anyone that would try to protect her. I kept the pressure on because no one was saying anything. I wanted discussion not just votes. Train voting doesn't help us find mafia, it doesn't force response or defensiveness.

When I woke up this morning and saw how everyone jumped on her train it made me nervous. Maybe she isn't Mafia after all. I wanted to make sure just because I was the 1st to vote doesn't mean I knew one way or the other and didn't want to be held accountable for something 2 other people actually started. I'm not trying to distance myself, you are all mafia until proven different. I just didn't like what I saw happening.

I don't understand Sways post about showing up innocent if she is the Don, the Dons role is displayed upon death.


I'm not convinced that Sway is innocent even after her responses. I think she over did it with multiple posts, but I have also been wary of Jo for better reasons. He has back peddled many times already and has done it again. He looks more mafia to me then Sway does, but I don't want to switch just to have everyone follow me again.

I AM NOT GOD don't follow me just because you think I play this game well. Follow me because you see the same thing.

Which brings me to another point. Why would I be anymore a target then the others that have jumped on after me. Isn't it more likely that the mafia saw a chance to get a train rolling and once 3 or 4 votes fell they just piled on?

We can't think with the normal wisdom of past games. With 2 teams there is no normal vote pattern. Not until we whittle the numbers down.

Hope that explains it a little better.
