Mafia 78- The Gunslinger Returns...The Play

going to take a break and give the town some time. I will be back later.
 
Hope this part helps you, limited questions aren't needed and you're not going to get content without questions. But the bolded line says it all.


I wanted to give you a list. I'll say right now JB JS and Kash stand out the most. The way accusations fell on certain posts but mostly the comments about Dags post having no content to them.
I have some errands to do and today is NBA2K day with my friend so hopefully there is more posting I can look at tonight and give a more defined list with pulled posts included.
I posted what I saw. Wiz has access to the context and a keen eye for analysis, so I left that part to him.

If Ice was out of the picture, why would you shoot me?
Ummm... try reading that again, Pappy. I didn't say I would shoot you if Ice were out of the picture... I said that I would have chosen you before I skimmed today's posts. Two different things there entirely IMO. Actually, I stated pretty clearly that based on said skimming I was leaning you innocent.

That being said, I'm starting to get that anxious feeling in my gut about you. Now that I've had a better read, I'm missing the "in your face" Pappy that I'vel come to expect... at least when you're innocent. You seem pretty passive so far.

Other thoughts I've had...

FF... he's posting like FF. I don't have a good read yet.

Ice... I want so badly to think he's scummy, but the fact that so many people are jumping all over him is making me re-think that.

Tay... played an excellent game as scum in the WW game. The whole thing of "I'll post when I have something to say" makes sense, but also seems to be giving the town the finger when it's pointed out that we need to be talking to find scum.

Jspigs... something seems off there. There's a post or two that tripped my radar that I need to go back and pull. I realize this is his first game, so that needs to be taken into account.

Kash... her play doesn't seem to change much whether she's innocent or scum, but hasn't tripped any switches for me... yet.

LG... always hard for me to read. I think if FF is scum, then LG is to based on her post stating "the reactions to FF's scumminess are more alarming than FF's scumminess" post (that's not an exact quote, but I can go back and find the post if needed).

Rich... no real read yet... he's always hard for me to figure out.

Chill... seems to be on his usual kung fu (lol... this may be the first time I haven't suspected Chill d1)

Dag... I have to look into his posts more closely, but haven't seen too much that sets off sirens.

Haydn... no real read yet

Wiz... great guy... hopefully an excellent shot :grinyes:

Those are my thoughts on everyone at the moment. Obviously, it's early so take it for what it's worth, but that's where I'm at. I should be on and off most of the rest of the day...
 
Players who have not posted in 24 hours will receive a PM "prod" from the moderator.

Since I started this game early, I will give the players who have yet to post the deadline of posting at least 1 post by 8 pm EST Sunday (same time that gunslinger has to take their shot.)
 
I'm not sure if I could come up with a definite answer to your question Wiz. It's so early in the game it's really hard to get a true read on someone. But if I had to narrow it down to two suspects it would be Ice and FF. Ice has been all over the board with "hypothetical" picks vs actually answering the question of why you were picked. FF on the other hand has just had some really random comments that could very well be scummy slips or it could just as easily be FF, FFing it up. I would flip a coin between the two of them at this point. Hopefully I can narrow it down a bit more before you need to take a shot.
 
Like I said, some of the stuff Jspigs has posted has been bothering me, so I went back to look a little closer.

I think we should focus on making a list of a few people who we think could be mafia and then go from there.

Anyone else think rich might be mafia? I just think there is something about the way he is posting but I just can't put my finger on it. But I could be completely wrong.
I'm not comfortable with "floating" the idea of Rich being mafia so soon, especially with the qualification at the end. Seems like trying to bait others to jump on it.

Like I said I could be completely wrong about rich. This is also my first game so everything I say is only based on what I have learned from reading the previous mafia game thread and the few hours I have been playing so far today.
Keep this post in mind...

I have an idea. I think everyone should make a list of their top three people (only three because it is still early in the game and hard to tell who is mafia) suspected to be mafia and then we can look at all of the lists and see who turns up the most.

I know it's early in the game but it could give us something useful.

My list (in no particular order): FF, Ice, LG. The last one (LG) is only a guess.
The list thing was believable the first time he brought it up. It's too early for it to be helpful IMO, but now with JS bringing it up again, it seems to me like he's more trying to take the temperature of the town than "give us something useful".

FF has been posting oddly. Almost as if he keeps slipping up but then tries to cover it up by saying he was just being FF.

Ice has been seeming overly helpful but as Kash pointed out, some of his theories/ideas (specifically about what would happen if a noob became gunslinger) seem to stand out as odd.

LG was only a random guess because I needed a third person to add to my list.
Here's where the post above becomes important... JS, what's the difference between FF "slipping up" and covering it up by saying "I"m FF" and saying "I could be wrong, I"m a newb?" Pot, meet kettle.

Anyone have any more thoughts?
This is the second time you've posted this same thing... do you have anything more to add?

In summary, JS seems to be playing a pretty sophisticated game for a newb without any coaching. I'm not buying it... Jspigs just hit number one on my list with a bullet... so to speak. :laugh:
