Mafia #18 The Santa Game

[IceH2O]

I have a great time with my nephews, nieces, great nephews and nieces.. I fill them full of sugar, shake them up and send them back home to my brothers and sisters.. :headbang2:

LMAO, energy drinks!

Yeah we didn't even plan it.. And honestly I was sitting in my chair going OH SNAP...

Blitzen is a concern for me as well but I am not sure what to make of it.. Its almost like we have to sacrifice one of us in order for them to not become more powerful.. I'd almost classify the roll as a renegade. I mean do we search for this character and take him out? But then we technically loose a townie.. But if we don't take him out we allow the elves to increase their evil prescence..

Yeah theres no way that Blitzen is an innocent.

Except maybe in number terms.

He is listed as an innocent on the rules. But do we really want to keep around someone thats either going to kill one of us or switch sides giving numbers to the evil elves?

The town doesn't benefit from Blitzen's actions, but I'd say the lesser of two evils is if Blitzen took out an innocent. That way Blitzen remains innocent instead of joining the evils. I think it all depends on what Blitzen really wants and also if he guesses correctly about who he sends the lump of coal to.

Blitzen is a guaranteed innocent until night 2 or 3, when they have to deliver their lump of coal which will either kill an innocent or cause Blitzen to become scum...

Blitzen will likely be playing it straight townie, at least for the first 2-3 days, as it doesn't make sense for them to do otherwise. With that fact in mind, are you guys (Ice & CL) suggesting we lynch the least scummiest people on days 1 and 2? How else would you propose we intentionally lynch Blitzen (short of them being discovered by Santa, and Santa revealing themself to the town)?

Kids are great, gives you a reason to watch cartoons and buy presents for them that you can play with.

Talking my wife into getting my 5 yr old some of those Air Hog copters.

LOL, my husband bought our 5 yr old a Wii for Christmas. He had already bought it before telling me, then he says I can play all the Zelda games I want on it. I wonder what he'll be playing on it?

I'm not sure if there is a lesser of two evils to this roll.. But I can say I don't want the Grinch to gain another minion..

The door of Ogre's counting-house was open, that he might keep his eye upon his clerk, Charlie Cratchit who, in a dismal little cell beyond, a sort of tank, was copying letters. Ogre had a very small fire, but the clerk's fire was so very much smaller that it looked like one coal. But he couldn't replenish it, for Ogre kept the coal-box in his own room; and so surely as the clerk came in with the shovel the master predicted that it would be necessary for them to part. Wherefore the clerk put on his white comforter, and tried to warm himself at the candle; in which effort, not being a man of a strong imagination, he failed.

Honestly I am not even sure what to do about this roll.. And like I just told plant I'm not sure if there is a lesser of two evils to the roll either and like she said it really is going to depend on what the person who received this roll wants out of the game.. I don't think there is a way to find this person and ultimately will have to let them decide as I don't want to purposely lynch an innocent.

 

[clown-lover]

to add to that.. But how can we stop the Grinch from getting another minion?? And no I don't want Santa to come out either.. That would be way worse.

 

[charlie_stubbs]

If you say so... you chose to use the word "fairy" and you;d know if you got the right PM that the PC term is "Elf". I'm going to my tree to bake some friggin cookies now.

Yep, Keebler owns my tail.

Correct me if I'm wrong, are you stating you got a PM that said you're an elf, not a fairy???

Here are my thoughts....

After day 3, we will know Blitzen's status (townie or scum) for sure:

- If a townie turns up dead from the Blitzen bomb, Blitzen remains an innocent.
- If no dead townie from the Blitzen bomb, Blitzen has gone to the dark side.

Either way, we'll know their status. A pre-emptive strike really doesn't make sense IMO, as we'll be looking for a townie at this point.... Makes more sense to look for scum, and let Blitzen worry about Blitzen for the time being.
