Mafia 80: Ghost Hunters

It would take more time than I have to pull all their posts to show you everything I have worked out this morning. For now... let me begin by introducing my suspicions and attempt to correct some erroneous conclusions we've reached.

I believe Noodles is the murderer.

From the start, Noods expended more effort notifying us about her continual absences and updating us about her computer issues, her work demands, her bleeding husband, and her dire need to fix dinner or vaccuum the carpeting (of all things)... and other nonsense, posting one excuse after another to inform us why she has so little time to play... than anything else. All this to excuse her lack of participation during the earlier part of the game. Within the first (approx.) 250 posts of the thread, she had made only 5. Heck, even the game mod had already posted more than that.

Yes, I'm sure she's been quite busy.... who isn't? Even so, she was also hiding out and keeping a very low profile so we would overlook her.

I picked up on this at the time but have counted her among too many suspects and other side issues which also drew my attention for me to sit back and examine her contribution (?) individually and follow up with this.

Then, at a crucial moment in the game... I also failed notice it was Noods who got us all to make a huge mistake: our misinterpretation of Day 1 nightfall events.

I did not put this all together until a short while ago.

Keeping the final vote count in sequence here as a reminder, she nicely withheld her vote until the end. And these votes, I'll come back to in a moment.

Found the vote from UN...

vote count is......



FF-(7)-Wizard, Chill, Kash, Wizard, JB, Razz, Hay, Noods

Wizard-(2)-JB, FF, Lab

Hay-(5)-Rich, Wizard, Pap, Razz, Bally, Ninja, UN

After FF was dead... innocent townie, we read this:

As the lights flicker, the Doctor feeling they know evil sneaks behind the one they feel to be evil and sticks them in the neck with their vial, a strange feeling comes over them as the serum makes it way through their body....someone has been changed, but did the Doctor make the right decision? Only time will tell......

Yes, that was me injecting Lab Rat with Dose #1. I took this writeup to mean it changed her from one side to another. And the final remark "only time will tell" (which was actually a telling clue from the mod) to mean Lady G wasn't going to tell us Labby's role. In fact, what it actually meant was I've got a slow-acting serum.

Lab Rat was not the murderer's first choice as partner from game start as we've thought all this time. (I'll tell you who I believe this is as well... keep reading.)

When nightfall began, Lab Rat was innocent -- right up until the moment I injected her. I was the one who turned Lab Rat evil; not the murderer. (Looking back, she was also probably one of our ghost hunters at this time. The hunch I acted upon to dose her....... more a PR vibe about Lab Rat than her being scum.)

Next came the evil hit. And guess what? The evils (2 of them) also targeted the same person I had just stabbed in the neck --> Lab Rat.

As the residents slowly make their way back to thier rooms, the lights are flickering and they can hear a ghostly laugh through the halls. One resident closes thier door and lights a candle not wanting to be in complete darkness if the lights go out again. As they lay down, pulling the covers over them they feel a presence in their room. Wearily they look around and see two "figures" standing at the foot of their bed. To scared to even scream they just look terrified, pleading with their eyes. Ever so slowly the figures make their way over the residents body smiling as they go, stretching out their arms, and in a low voice saying...."come join us"!


Someone has been taken by the murderer and the evil spirit

This was evil recruit #2, which according to the rules is a guarantee. 100% result.... claiming the victim to the evil team. This "turn" was not the 50-50 chance later targets would be.

No wonder Lady G had some quick details to work out in a hurry... Lab Rat was both my target (to turn her) and Noodles' newest teammate -- both at the same time.

Here is Nood's initial response after "game on."

*sigh* ok, so one was definitely turned and one with unknown results. :wall:

Here, Lab Rat died from her injection and her (new) role was revealed.... several minutes after nightfall was over and Day 2 began.

As the serum finishes surging threw the victims body from the Dr, they fall and convulse violently, their body goes up in smoke....

Lab was a troubled soul

Noodles went on to incriminate Wizard (innocent) for leading the votes against FF (innocent/dead). She nicely included JB (also innocent) in this, which only suggested we suspect him as well.... feeding our concern about the interaction we'd seen between JB and Wizard.... just before she tried to disappear again (back to her scumden).

ATM I am inclined to follow JB onto Wiz. The way he went after him right off, certain that he was scum, then moved off, then moved back - not looking good right now. need to call it a night for now and think about it more tomorrow.......

Before leaving... a quick reaction to Labby's death.

whoa - this outta no where! need to rethink things..........

The mod came on to answer our questions about a turn getting killed from an event that can only turn her.

OK everyone...I did make a big mistake, not sure why but I had written in my notes that the vial would kill the troubled souls or the ghost hunters if they were vialed.

Labby was NOT the murderer and should of switched to be a ghost hunter....we have 2 choices here. I can call the game and start a new one if you want, assigning roles over, or we can continue and play the way it was suppose to go.

It is up to all of you, what ever you think would be fair.

The murderer shows she has heart with a nice comment to consider poor Labby's feelings. But also note what else she managed to work in with this post. She added her "spin" on the events to confuse us into thinking Lab Rat was her 1st turn instead of their 2nd turn.

I vote to go forward but since Labby is the real victim here I would like to hear how she feels. but wait a minute - so that would mean she was indeed the first turn, right?....hhhmmm.....the wheels on the bus go round and round........

Asking this question the game mod wasn't going to answer... she lead us to believe Lab was the other turn.

I vote to take the soul of Noodles. She is the murderer.

More to follow about the real Turn #1.
 
Razz- Have not heard much from him at all today. Still no clue what he meant when he voted for me.

Chill- Leaning innocent right now. He seems to be hard at work kicking bushes.

Rich- I have no trouble getting a read on him at all. Hell of a photographer too.

Bally- I can see some sincerity in her posts at the moment. She could be pulling the wool over my eyes. She would not be the first to pull that kind of defense. She is my second choice for scum right now.

UN- going to believe him for the moment.

Wizard- I have no choice but to think he is a townie. Has been hard at work picking out scum.

Kash- I see no reason not to believe her.

Hay- Still on the fence about him. The time zone change makes it hard to interact with him.

Noods- She has been very quiet but I see nothing disturbing in her posts.

Jpap - you guys say you cant read me, he is like a blank slate to me. Not sure what to think.

Piggy - I have as innocent. He is trying just needs to do some learning. We all started somewhere.
 
I don't believe you kash. at all.

I hate to throw out WIFOM crap but I don't see what Kash gains from claiming to be doc now and possible mafia later. All it does is buy the scum another day or two, which could certainly help, but there really are no other holes in her story. It's not like she was a for sure lynch candidate today.
 
Before I continue on, let me first highlight this part from the rules.

The Murderer-Has the power of the "touch of death". After his murder spree and suicide his spirit has remained in the mansion. Now that the people of AcVille are staying there, he can use his touch of death to take their souls and they will work with him. At game start the murderer will send in a name to receive the touch of death, and they will be able to communicate. Each nightfall they will touch another innocent taking their soul (unless the Dr. has protected them). The first two souls will be automatic, after that they have a 50/50 chance of turning a soul. If the murderers soul is taken, the troubled souls can no longer turn others to work with them, they will however have a chance to "take a soul" each night fall. They must send in a name before each nightfall and have a 50/50 chance of taking that persons soul and sending them to their death.
 
gotta agree with kash I vote to take the soul of noodles

Ninja, please wait if you have time. Don't just follow someone because you believe you can trust them.

There is a lot more for me to say that isn't even written out yet and a lot for everyone to consider before making a decision.
