Mafia 42: Assassin in the Palace (The Play)

Dang... I'm gone for a few hours and missed all the action! I'll have to go back and reread as there are a couple of things that stuck out, but I sort of skimmed to get the flavor of it all.
 
So far, Z stands out to me the most:

One thing we can't do is vote up a person past say 3 or 4 votes. Because if they get that many then its obvious they are not the King. If it does happen we pretty much have to finish that person off for good or ill.

That said we can discuss it all day, but that will never get us anywhere.
I vote to lynch Malbri.

First vote, for a low poster. Good strategy for the assassin. Many stated previously they didn't think the assassin would start a train, and this is a safe vote to make, as many suspect low posters.

Right Ice that is why I said once someone gets, say 3 votes, we HAVE to lynch them because we have said that they are not the King. I think a lot of people are still trying to play this like a Mafia game. It's really something different and we need to adapt to how this one works.

Three votes at this point, especially with retractions; is not a fatality. Seems to me like Z is trying to put the bug in people's ears to get rid of SOMEBODY early, to the assassin, wouldn't really matter who that somebody was, and it doesn't seem to matter to Z either.

Mal (3) - Z(49), Noodles(67), BKW(74)
BKW (3) - Dawg(50), Ogre(70), Ice(72)
No votes from: Jbradt, LG, Mal

Paying extremely close attention to the voting... this is what I would do too.

I don't think tie votes help us in this scenario, choosing one person quickly with minimum discussion of others is better, because it gives the assassin less info.

Choosing one person quickly with minimum discussion also gives good odds that it will be a guard who gets it... as evidenced by bkw.

As this is a LOT more reason than I have to suspect anyone else, I vote to lynch ZSandmann. Keep in mind that this is subject to change if something else comes up. I've still got others I'm looking at.

Ogre: I get the new job thing, but it seems he was the first to come up with making lists of 3 people (58). I agree with bkw when he said this would be a way to give the assassin info (62). Ogre stated this might not work in his original post on the subject, but went on to defend the idea later anyway (69). The yelling at the very beginning of the thread didn't help this any.

Mal: still a low poster, even after "waking up". And I'm not sure what to think of this story, as it was noted by others she was lurking earlier.

There's more, but mostly just hunches. Tomorrow's a long day with a short break, so I wanted to get it out there. Hope some of it helps, Z... sorry if I'm wrong. I probably won't be able to check back until 1p or so.
 
Wow! CRap! I missed a lot last night. That's what I get for turning in early w/ a headache! I had a small suspicion that bkw was fishy, (not catfish!) but obviously that was wrong. Gotta go back and read everything again. There are a few more that stick out but will wait to post my thoughts after I read again.......
 
I have no other way to do this but to try and get into Mads head. I'm voting each day for the person I think Mad would make the assassin.

I vote to lynch JB.

I'd rather not retract as I think it gives the assassin to much cover but will if needed on a person that seems to be screaming assassin.
 
Well, sorry Bkw! I really wasn't sure myself, but with him being so against every idea out there it made me wonder. No they weren't all great ideas but at least they were thoughts.

As far as who I suspect right now, I just don't know.

Are we sure Mad selected the assassin and did not just draw names for the roles?
 
The two votes that have been cast already and their reasoning makes sense to me, but I am just not sure at this point. There a couple others that stick out a little as well, including the 2 that have voted already.....

IMO...yes, Mad would pick his one and only assassin. I get myself way to confused though when I try to think what I think Mad or Ice would do..those two can really mess up my brain trying to think like them LMAO!!!!

I could see him picking a very good vet...but at the same time I could soooo see him going with someone that hasn't played much because they would be someone we would feel he woulnd't pick....think "mind games":evil_lol:
 
Thank for the clarification LG! I unfortunately have no idea how to think like Mad! LOL
