Mafia who done it! The Play

Here’s a few thoughts on some of those still in the game. For those not listed, I’m not necessarily saying that I have them leaning innocent, I just haven’t seen anything really scummy yet.

Ice – while we don’t know his status fully, I’m leaning him innocent right now. The fact that he was willing to sit on Andi (known mafia) makes me think he might be innocent. Had he stayed on Andi until the end, I would have felt a little more sure, though.

LChap – I strongly believe that he’s scum. Alot of general observations (scenarios, post counts, etc.) on Day 1, without really pointing out anything useful. Late in the day pulls out his cutlass and mounts a heroic swashbuckling effort to save Ice. The thing that bugs me here though is that when he made his intentions to save Ice known, he then put his vote on Emo (known innocent) instead of Andi (known mafia). Keep in mind that Ice was parked on Andi at the time, so to me, it would have made more sense for LChap to stand shoulder to shoulder with Ice as opposed to trying to pull Ice off of Andi. He didn't move onto Andi until I wondered (in the thread) if there was a reason that he didn't hop onto Andi with Ice.

Beth – a lot of general observations on Day 1 without pointing out anything useful. Committed what I consider to be a major blunder with regard to claiming which posts may have influenced her vote. I think she’s probably scum.

Ogre – not a strong feeling here, but I don’t necessarily follow the thought process regarding his vote for Ice. I understand the logic, but the process as to how he eventually brought himself to vote for Ice is of interest…

In post #77 Ogre expresses concern that the quiet mafia players are getting the more vocal townie posters to cut each other’s throats. He goes on to vote RB (a pretty quiet poster at the time). When RB posts a little, Ogre removes his vote and the next day votes for Ice (a more vocal poster). Kind of a complete 180 from his earlier position.

Chas – what the heck is up there? Charlie has to know that his play style this game is not helping the town at all. As I think that Charlie is generally more conscientious when a townie, I think that he’s quite possibly scum.

BKW - late jump onto Ice is worth noting, not sure that it makes him scum, though. One to watch.

Mad why the sudden switch to HN when LC was your top suspect and HN never even made your list?

HN jumped from not making your list all the way to the top bypassing Charlie Beth LC and a watchful eye on Ogre and Bkw.
 
RB would you like to point out why you didn't point out that Andi was a no vote and could UD?

Obviously you knew because you accused me of skimming. But for some reason you failed to point it out to the rest of the group.

You would think that you as a townie would want the other townies to get off Andi and move to a player you thought mafia, meaning me, to get me lynched.

Why not plea to have the players on Andi move to me?
 
Just wanted to point out that it would be pointless for the town to even try to continue after they are outnumbered, thus why it ends when they are, for this reason:

The only way the innocents have of getting rid of a Mafia is the lynch...and once the Mafia outnumber the innocents, they'll control the lynch, thus the town loses.

I'm suprised you didn't realize this RB. Makes it easier for the Mafia to win, but the earliest they can at this point is Tomorrow Night...and that's only if we fail to get rid of a Mafia tonight and/or tomorrow. After tonight, we'll either have a 4-4 tie or 5-3 for the town. I feel it's critical that we get a Mafia, otherwise it only takes 1 innocent voting wrong tomorrow and they win...and I don't want to be in that position.


Uh...that was the point of my post, Lchap....a bad scenario from the get go...

Just to busy doing other stuff, not to complain about any serious RL issue, that I have been readily known to not care about in previous games...simple as that Ice.

From my perspective, there have been several games recently with "evil" teams not communicating well. No matter who is in charge, some folks just don't play with the involement that some of us do.

This game almost reminds me of the first two or three....maybe some are gun shy after recent games.

I like these games...but not really in love with this one sided format.
 
I love these games too Rb this format is kinda off, but maybe Jmax thought that this should a quick fun game to get people back in the spirit of these games.
 
Wow LC how insightful, why would you even vote for CS, and who are your other suspects.

I'd vote for Charlie because she's been hit-and run, giving us little help, and not taking sides...basically I see it as hiding on the sideline and trying to stay out of the spotlight.

My other suspects are RB, Bkw, Mad and yourself.

RB's playstyle isn't like it has been previously, though the more I read the more I think it's apathy that's guiding him...He's tired of Mafia and hasn't had a long enough break. Doesn't mean he's innocent, but it's making it less likely that he's the hard-beat Mafia I thought he was at first.

Bkw and Mad I believe I've posted my thoughts on before.

You, well you're bouncing around a bit...

Looking down at the votes, however, leaves my suspected Mafia on HN and one of them on Beth...but none of them are on Charlie. I haven't decided how to take this...distancing or are they going after innocents...or perhaps both?
 
okay that kinda made sense except that you said you would for Charlie, based on the hit and run style , then say that your looking at the votes and you don't want to vote for Charlie? I mean what? So lost with that post

If that's the way you read it, I'm sorry. I said I don't know...right now the only people on Charlie aren't high on my suspect list, compared to others that are on HN and yourself...actually makes me want to go after Charlie more...

Hard choices...while it may help the town more to vote for Beth and see who they value more...it also might hurt the town if the town reads the switches the Mafia makes afterwards incorrectly, as well as if some of the town fails to get on to adjust before nightfall...

I vote to lynch Charlie. It's the safer choice for the town, imo.
