Mafia #13 - The Witches of ACville- the play

Alright, well I don't know what else to tell you...that my story and I'm stickin' to it.
 
Ok, I don't like my hand being forced...I'm the herbalist...If you guys give me another day I'll protect myself tonight and keep telling what I know...So far, Swayde has been investigated and she's innocent, that's why I jumped on with her...I didn't protect anyone the first night because we wanted to save protects for people we knew were good and Lady didn't give a strong enough vibe...We were going to protect someone else anyway if anyone.

DC, this is so early in the game for this. Do you realize what you may have done? You may protect yourself for tonight but that is it. You have left yourself so vulnerable too early in the game. You only have one more day of investigation to let us know if someone is witchy or innocent and that's it.... if the Witches take you out when they can.... which can be as soon as tomorrow.

You are the town’s Herbalist. You have a weak potion and it has limited duration so it cannot be used on the same person more than once. At the onset of night, you may protect one person with it and it will save them from being affected by a spell cast by the witches. You may communicate with the Prophet.
 
Based on those rules DD, the herbalist doesn't do the investigations, the prophet does. It will suck if the witches get DC (which I don't see how they won't on the next cycle) but the investigations will still get done. He just won't be able to help convey the results to us.
 
I have been thinking that this might be a good ploy for the witches. One comes out as the herbalist, one who is under some pressure, clears their name and pretends to be the herbalist. If the real one is well, "stupid" enough to come out they have them. If not, well they can lead us astray, maybe naming on of their own as an innocent or just naming someone noboody suspects anyways, while the real prophet/herbalist team can't do anything but be silent else they give themselves away to the witches. They then "protect" themself tonight while their teammates take out an innocent and we possibly lynch another innocent. The "herbalist" then comes and names another person, possibly an innocent as a witch. The town would suspect the herbalist would be killed the next night because they cannot protect themselves again but we would end up losing another townie that night for sure if they named an innocent as a witch. The witches would not kill their own so we would waste a nights lynching on someone we could have killed a night earlier.

It's complicated, purely hypothetical, and too much like a conspiracy but its something to think about.
 
Wow that was quite a heated exchange there pappy and sploke.

Where are our missing Townies? Five hours till Night and no votes from King, Ice, bluerat, or BrkD.

3-BrkD: charlie, jpappy, Ogre, DD, Ogre
3-Ogre: Swayde, DC, ZSandmann
1-King: plantling
1-jpappy: sploke
1-sploke: jpappy
DC: ZSandmann, Swayde, Ogre, ZSandmann
 
heh...I get frustrated when everything out of my mouth is answered with "yeah thats exactly what you would say if you were making it up"
 
Based on those rules DD, the herbalist doesn't do the investigations, the prophet does. It will suck if the witches get DC (which I don't see how they won't on the next cycle) but the investigations will still get done. He just won't be able to help convey the results to us.

I understand that sploke but that really makes no difference. The thing I was getting at, maybe I conveyed it wrong, is that he cannot tell us who is Witchy for possibly more than tomorrow. Yes, the investigations will get done but if he (as the herbalist) is taken out, how will we know who is investigated.... other than whoever the prophet is being good at getting it out and understood which is never fully guaranteed.
 
Well, thats all we're left with, hopefully some subtle directives. But, its better than not getting the investigations at all.
 
I retract my vote from DC and vote to burn brk.

I thought that brk had only two votes. It's obvious I haven't been keeping up and I apologize.

I'm not quitting, but I'm probably not going to be very useful this game. Unless something is glaring obvious to me while I'm reading, I probably won't get much.

With DC being the herbalist, that kind of limits my suspect list to Ice and brk.

DCs revelation makes it more likely to me that Ice is a witch. Because it is much less likely that he is a power role. I guess he could still be innocent, but I'm leaning witchy for him.


im beginning to wonder if you might be more than you seem. i for a newbie at this is bound to be a little confused , as i never played before but your lack of opinions is bothering even me. the only one you have really jumped on was ice and he was trying to help all with his postings so on this
i vote burn ogre
