Mafia #6.....The Play

[plantling]

I think the votes for today are Sway or Nick. I'll have to give it more thought.

I noticed that too when I read it. Seems like only Mafia would have a spring in their step after that night, but it could be he's driven by a stronger purpose for the town.

And I don't think we've heard from BKW and Jensons. I'd love to hear their thoughts.

If you say so... just pushes you more firmly into what my idea of mafia is.

I mean really, there's no point in defending your fellow mafia, it's not like there's too few of you or anything.

Personally, I'd like to hear from Z and Mad about this one. And a vote count if anyone has it. That would be greatly appreciated.

Night fall of Day 4 at 8 PM EST Saturday, 07/28

I am not sure what has changed.

 

[OgreMkV]

Well, I switched to Mad, but that looks like a train that won't come. Guess I'll go back to Sway and there looks like 6 players yet to vote?!?!?!

Geez

I vote to lynch Sway

 

[plantling]

Ogre, just because I don't automatically go along with you that makes me Mafia? You're starting to scare me again. I like to give pple the benefit of the doubt, but you're acting quite rashly.

 

[Swayde]

It looks like I will be the next one lynched. For the love of all that's good and just in this town, please avenge me and go after Ogre and/or Zsand when it's proven that I am in fact Innocent. Someone, please pay attention to this post.

My thoughts in Red

Bala Shark looks down at the Townies assembled before him. They seem to be gathered together in unity, or is it the calm before the storm? Sometimes it is nice to be a solid object, firm and immovable, not swayed by winds of thoughts, possibly to be led astray. No need to re-examine the issues, though I think many will, tomorrow....Bala observes.....

<snip>

Bala looks down at the dimenished crowd, wondering how the overnight events will change the town. Appears a lot of recalculations will have to be done, by all.... No Sh*t

The Doctor scans the crowd and ponders how things could be different. And the Don is reposed, but smug, but not in an outwardly fashion. The Detective seems in deep thought over recent knowledge and how best to use it. The doc, we now know is Ice. The Don (still extant) is reposed [synonyms: restful, free from worry, calmness tranquility] and smug... hmmm... well I'm not the Don cause I've been freaking out. 'but nor in an outwardly fashion' indicates to me that he/she is a low poster and not given to extreme comments... Mad does fit this, but so does Jensons, mee-mee to a degree, bkw(!?)

The Detective is 'deep in thought '... the implication is that he learned something useful. Could it have been the doctor or a mafia member?

Can things get better for the Innocent Townies...? The ACville population is now at 19, and the five lost ones are all Innocents.

The folks head out for Day #3.......

No one seems to look closely at Bala....such a common figure, often overlooked by those that frequent here..... I know what a Bala Shark is, but what is the implication of this shadowy, almost angelic watcher?

Mee-mee and plantling look over their shoulders before rounding a corner to their jobs. They both have a thought as independent and connected as things can be, that the Bala has turned to look at them.

'Looking over their shoulder' would indicate fear or worry... At this point, they were not on anyones radar at all... perhaps they are innocent.

Which is just as weird as the thoughts of KOTD who swears the Bala turned but wrote it off to imagination. Something that seems to run free here in ACville.

hmmm.... did someone mention KOTD as a possible lynch target? If the Bala is the symbol of the innocent town, then this could indicate worry that the town has discovered him as mafia

Madcraw observes all of the above, and has the single thought of review posts and find the lies.

Boy, this sure makes him seem innocent. It doesn't fit though... are all the mafia either newbies or quiet/stealthy? Could are (collective) egos be so at odds with each other that the mafia merely has to watch us come apart? Is Z AND Mad AND Ogre all innocent? While Plantling, mee-mee, and KOTD control us?

Game on....

A restless night for the true Townies. They realize that the lynching of Ice is a big blow and not all the votes would have been Mafia. Some of them are as much to blame as the folks they are trying to exterminate from their town. Another 'No Sh*t' statement

Bala looks down, (facing the sunrise...? he always observed the sunset before...?), eavesdropping on the small groups as they start to head out on their tasks. The implication here, I believe is that the spirit of innocent revenge for the town is listening to the mafia head home from their kill instead of the townies after their lynching!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sploke appears to be mumbling to himself, as he walks off, with a slight spring to his steps. Still indicate mafia to me. Happy as the twon self-destructs.

bkw, viewing his palm pilot, walking with purpose, in a different direction. e-mail and mafia contacts outside the game!!

Jensons, sitting on a nearby bench, watching the activity in a Town that now ressembles a whirlpool forming at the sink drain. Observing, but not concerned... mafia.

17 Townies remain....10 Innocents and 7 Mafia.

Night 6 could be the deciding Night, at this rate of Innocent demise.

8 PM tomorrow. This one is critical.

Z, what do you think of my analysis? JohnLarson, how about you?

Could rb have put all seven mafia into these posts? I don't know, but I'm thinking that he may have put 3 in the last one for us. I wouldn't have thought rb would help like that in the game, but there it is.


If you guys concur, I say we go for one of the ones I show above.

I vote to lynch sploke.

OK, Plantling... what about this?

That is the morning post. That's an interesting point, since the only people who dies during the night are innocent.

Thanks, if everyone is willing to try out sploke, I'll be willing to try it.

That's it. For me it's sploke or Mad. What say you all?

I've never played with Sploke before, so he's been completely off my radar. The fact that 'Bala' appears to look east, and mee-mee says that Sploke is from out east could also fit. Here's the thing Ogre, if you're willing to dig into these clues for Sploke, why can't you buy into the fact that I'm innocent when rb says something like 'Madcrawdad sees all and has but one thought, to review posts and find the lies'?

Because Ogre is most likely Mafia and has been quite adept at twisting and manipulating things to get everyone to lynch Innocents. It's very easy for him to pick out his targets since he knows who they all are. Why go after Sploke when BKW's description looks even more Mafia-esque?

I wouldn't be at all surprised if Sploke is Innocent, heck I wouldn't be surprised if he's the only Innocent in that list. Face it, with Z and Ogre pulling one everyone in so many different directions and pointing fingers all over the place, there won't be a big enough concensus to nab a Mafia. So you might as well jump on the lynch Swayde train, get it over with. I sure could use the rest.
