Mafia 40 "Life behind bars" The Play

Not sure how much time I will have to "play" today before company gets here........
I vote to shank jbradt
Jpap! Beat me to it!
 
I am only choosing to kepe quiet in respect to asking questions and also to announcing who I wish to investigate. Once an investigation proves positive for a snitch I would like to annnounce my findings but not sure that would be wise and it prob would not be beleived anyway as quite a few of you have doubts about me.
I chose not to "loudly defend myself" as that tactic does not seem to work and only brings a person more in the spotlight, nor do I really wish to sit quietly by while I am accused....tuff spot to be in. I had to stop posting for a while at work and actually do some work, thus my extended silence today.
I have a few people I am unsure of at this point, NJ - same reason as last night. It has been stated repeatedly by seasoned players that she is not playing her usual style. This I cannot confirm first hand but if it is true it is certainly something to look at. I also have BKW and jbradt on my radar...somethings that they have said just don't site right and apparently I am not the only one that thinks so.

Would be nice to get investigation results before lights out, but I am not certain that will be the case. I will try to come to a decision and post a vote soon. I do not want to wait too long..........

Noodles, you seem to be doing a lot of following. I understand that with this being your first game you are still a little unsure of what is going on and you don't have the advantage of playing with all of us before...but by the second night you should be able to at least to come up with more than "I don't see it but apparently everyone else does"...not to mention what made you choose Jb over NJ?
 
ah heck... I'll put my vote in too, I vote to shank jbradt.... I wasn't sure about it but I am not sure about anyone right now... you however are making me more nervous than others.

as with yesterday, jbradt has still caught my attention. in addition to being defensive and wanting to gain all of our trust, he has now turned around with this "guilt factor" post and that seems far to shady to me.

I vote to shank jbradt

My updated list:

jbradt
Z
Bkw
Doom

I might as well get a vote in. I won't be around for nightfall again...

Weird, 4 votes on the same person in less than 30 minutes...
 
Yeah another train I don't really follow. Still a shame, I know we should give our new players a free pass, but another day or two would help them do better... I don't see this big slip up everybody else does. To me, he's no better or worse than any body else right now - but 4 people in 30 minutes have all of the sudden come to agreement after hours and hours of indecision. Seems to indicate at least a few are some Lifers in that bunch.

DD - it's not that I didn't read the love letter - it's that there's too much for me to reply to, line by line. I read it - in fact, I did answer your question (a second time) as to how many rounds of mafia I've played, since you didn't count them the first time. So I did reply - just not to the entire wall of text.
 
Lets start off with paragraph 1 then work down from there.

I agree Noodles is pushing the confused card but not everyone has a good grasp of the game. I am well aware it could be a ploy but I wouldn't feel comfortable voting for her without some kind of proof. Part of my noob reach out plan.

Para 2

I'm on the fence on this one as I stated above. Its a pretty risky move to make because you are not able to know which person sent in will be the actual death.I didn't like the plan to begin with and still don't. It was my reason for voting Bkw to begin with. With more thought I might return there.

Para 3

Well 3 is covered in 2. Pretty risky move.Was it worth taking is what I need to think through.

Just when I think Noodles is just a noob she pulls out the analogy. Hmmm.

Ice, responses below. Colors correspond to your points.

I'll agree that some people don't get the game, but the thing about Noodles, all of the questions/issues aren't about how to play the game. A couple of 'out there' ones have been that she was talking about using an investigation last night (when everyone would read 'innocent), she apparently missed that Chill was killed by the guards last night, and just today supposedly realized that the snitches can communicate. Asking questions is fine, but I really think that the purpose of many of them is likely to seem too confused to actually be considered a snitch.

As far as the whole 'investigate people next to you' plan, and alter the list accordingly, technically it could happen. There is the possibility that some of the snitches are in proximity to each other. There would be risks associated with trying to move the list as needed, but it could be worth it if it worked (or not, if it didn't).

They would have two whole days to try to change it through shanks and beatings. And even though two names need to be submitted for beatings, over two days there's better chance that things would fall as planned.

Not saying that it did happen, just that it could, and clearing BKW based on Chill and Dawg's status could be risky.

actually, NJ I asked 2 questions... of which both were answered. Thank you. The first question was how many times you were mafia, the econd was how many games you played in total. Yes, I did count them each time. 2 you counted as guilty in 5 games total. Funny now that I think of it, if you answered the correct way each time, why is it that you say you gave the same answer the second time... when you didn't.

I stated earlier that I had at least 3 people of interest. I chose one that stuck out the most in my mind as "dirty". Several other people that voted for jbradt also stated that things "just weren't right" with him. Why only question my vote?

Doubt all 4 are snitches but its pretty probable at least 1 if not 2 could be.

I'll color my answers also.

Further down in the thread Noodles does peak my interest. I agree it could be a ploy that has been overplayed.

I think you are misunderstanding or maybe trying to twist my meaning. I'm not on the fence about Bkws plan. I am totally against it. I'm on the fence on if it was a snitches plan or if Bkw meant well by it.

Because you have yet to really question jbradt. I know for sure that me, DD and Jm have all at least brought up the issue with Jb. You on the other hand are following the crowd, which is evident in the post I quoted where all your reasons are based on what others have said. I am still curious as to why specifically jbradt is now more scummy to you than NJ even though you said that you still feel the same way about NJ (your vote last night) today as you did yesterday. What came up that suddenly pushed Jb to the front?
 
"I don't see it but apparently everyone else does"

jpappy, are you referring to my thoughts on NJ. I did not say what you "quoted" I said I cannot speak to her playing style in previous games. I do not have the leisure time to go back and read umpteen pages of old games to see if it is true....Will taking the word of experienced players be the smart way to go? I hope so....
My dinner guests should be here any minute and I cannot concentrate.... I hope to get back to the game before "end of day" .
