Mafia #69: Ghost Hunters Game Thread

[Dangerdoll]

Dude, I couldn't do it in the LAST 48-or-whatever-it-was hours. I doubt I shall convince you in the next 24.
Unfortunately, any "proof" I would try to provide would likely be said to be me playing reverse psychology.
I'll do anything I can to help till you lynch me though.

My scum team suspects are CCM and Annie. DD has been really quiet too. The last game, while it lasted, she was MUCH more active and chatty.

the reason I was quiet Bio was because my husband played this weekend for my b'day, and I have been pretty much celebrating until today when I had to tend to the stuff I didn't do all weekend.

I vote to lynch Bio

<game off> sorry y'all. You guys were way too into me being scum, and I UD'ed because I didn't have enough time to get into the game like i should have to prove that i wasn't scum. I chose to UD in order to quit wasting everyone's time and efforts. </game off>

Going to go with 24 hour nightfall.

a few things, Could someone please tell me how I am scummy?

Sorry I haven't had the time this weekend to devote to the game, but real world issues this weekend have not been kind.

I guess I'm still not seeing how Bio is scummy. The way it looks to me, and this is just a generalizations, because I'm exhausted after today, and don't have the patience to find every old post, but it appears to me that ice and wiz have been the ring leaders getting others to jump on board without conclusive reasoning to get the townies to lynch innocent people. I wouldn't even put it past them to vote for their own kind to divert suspicion. AND, why would they need to place a hit out on any of us when they can just have the townies do it for them?

I'm still not going to vote Bio, just to jump on the bio bandwagon, I can't say for sure she's innocent, but I'm sure all of you will think this is one evil trying to save another. We've seen how following the mighty ice and Wiz has done us SOOO well. It took Dawg getting real info to get the last scum lynched. My biggest question right now is, why did he wait so long and put us all at risk longer before presenting this info?

I was reading through some of Mael's posts and caught this.

I dont think this has been brought up yet but I find it particularly interesting...



If lab indeed slipped before the first nightfall she may have very well slipped again...she certainly seemed flustered enough too drop a teammates name.

i think that if/when lab flips scum I will be voting bio. the fact that she has no firm stance on what lab said makes me think they are teammates.

This is the post that brought everyone's suspicion to Bio because of LR's post where she named Bio.

Mael had been pushing hard for Bio's lynch ever since.

Could LR's post have been contrived in the scum den once they knew LR was gone in an effort to get an innocent lynched for sure next?

It would have worked if it wasn't for the voice from the other side naming Mael as a murderer.

Geez people, I do have a life you know. Again, I just got home from work after another 12 hour shift. I do this 5 days a week, some days are slower than others, on those days I can post. We've been super busy this week.

You want the full out explanation about where my mind was yesterday? Here goes...after 3 hours of sleep, I went to work at 4am since my team is capped out with 20 patients. 4 of those are very very sick, think likely to not make it out of the hospital. I have a lot of drug monitoring and recommendations due to changing renal fxn, etc. Sometime around noon my mom texted me that my grandpa had fallen and was in the ED and that they were going to admit him. From the way it sounded, there was a decent chance he wouldn't make it out of the hospital, fortunately today he's doing better. I didn't get home until after 6pm since I have to meet with students every afternoon.

So after a 14 hour day with 3 hours sleep my brain wasn't working well. When I saw Noods vote jump right before nightfall (and I didn't have any problem with the time, idk why everyone else was so confused), I thought maybe she knew something I didn't. And maybe she does. Maybe I'm wrong about Ice, he sure seemed scummy with his theory about a vet needing to be the one to pick the investigations. His idea worked out without Ice getting voted out seeing as Kashta was the scum hit.



Why could you see me putting a hit on Kashta? She seemed to be leaning me innocent, no way I would take out someone who leaned me innocent if I were scum. That would just be stupid.

From what was going on during day 1, if I were scum I likely would have hit Dawg.



Actually Ice, now that I'm not completely brain dead, I'm not liking my vote on you. I'm really thinking Noods is scummy and (omg, I can't believe I'm saying this) you may be innocent. I was kinda thinking distancing but I don't think that's what happened. I think Noods KNEW you were innocent and didn't want to be caught voting for an innocent. It was the impression I got last night but since my synapses were not fully firing I didn't make any moves (and I'm stubborn, I thought you were scummy). Looking back, she knew I'm innocent too, but there was no way she could move her vote off of me without looking incredibly scummy so she just sucked it up and had a vote that counted. She herself said she was around the entire nightfall, did you have a mini-heart attack there Noods, thinking you might get caught voting for an innocent? Good thing the coin flip turned out in your favor...

With that, I retract my vote on Ice and I vote to lynch Noods.

This is a very preliminary list as I haven't had time to thoroughly read, but these are my impressions atm.

Noods- right now is my #1 suspect for reasons above

Dawg- hasn't posted much and he's usually much more active. Makes me wonder why he's laying low and what he has to hide

ILM- Not contributing one bit to the town. His lack of playing doesn't necessarily make him scum, but it sure as hell doesn't help flush out scum

CCM- Some inconsistencies and odd posts. May just be due to being new to the game.


I do have to say the double standards about who is busy irl is amazing. Apparently it's ok if Noods, Rich, Dawg, or Annie claims to be busy, but if Bio or I say we've been busy irl a huge deal is made out of it. I don't get it... :screwy:

This is the post Mael used to get us looking at Bio.

Not a slip by LR but identifying with Bio as they both were catching flack for not posting much.

We have had some luck lately.

We got lucky that LR self destructed. We got lucky that someone heard a voice from the other side.

We also got lucky that there wasn't a hit tonight.

This one has me puzzled.

Why wouldn't they have sent in their hit?

That question seems to make it hard to figure who to suspect.

It just keeps nagging at me. Anyway back to reading old posts to see what else I can find.

 

[the wizard]

studying my notes and the vote counts I am starting to come up with some questions.

DD on D1 you had a lone vote on mael, based on the interaction between the two of you.

This interaction, I might add, was frivolous and more often than not just a distraction.

Could this have been distancing?

You voted to lynch LR but you were a late vote and your reason was to go with the "consensus of the town".

At this point, LR was pretty much a done deal as she started self destructing on D2.

On D3 you are also a late vote on Mael. Who had been outed as known scum.

Would you care to comment? Especially now that your vote sits on someone that Mael, known scum, was pushing for the lynch?

I will post other questions to other players as I get them.

I just logged in to check the thread and hubby called to say, I'm on my way. be ready we are running to the store! Ugh....
I want to throw this out there real quick before he gets here. I beleive you Dawg and i am willing to move my vote to Mael if that is the consensus. I will check back as quickly as i can but i am certain i will be back in plenty of time before nightfall. if i need to be used as a test subject (?) i am perfectly ok with that but i would like to know that we have taken down a scum or 2 first...

Noods, this post bothers me. If you believed Dawg about Mael, why would you need a consensus to vote Mael?

senor grumpy just walked in but before I go, I retract my vote for Bio and vote to lynch Mael.

Here, no consensus yet, but 1 minute after Ice switches you followed.

This looks a little fishy to me.

 

[the wizard]

I'm positive that the message would be from the innocent side, the evils get to communicate so why would they need to send a message?

2ndly, looking at the votes Annie was the kill vote on Lab. He was vote #3 and no one else got more then 2.

So the info looks good to me and I believe you.

I think we should take out Bio then we'll get Mael tomorrow.

Noods is a possibility as I explained earlier but I'm not as sure on that. I'm sure Noods wouldn't mind being a test subject as long as we still have numbers, meaning Bio and Mael are evil.
Her post stating she thinks she is being played or trusting someone she shouldn't could be positioning herself in case Mael got lynched.Also she got bent out of shape about me questioning only her .

I'm willing to lynch them in that order. I still think bio is evil more then I think it of JRR CCM or Rich.

Maels post about the train I think was to scare innocents off Bio.

Ice, this post still bothers me. I know you explained it earlier when I asked, but it just doesn't sit well with me to see a veteran player willing to keep known mafia around.

How do you feel about your vote on Bio now since Mael was pushing so hard in that direction?
