minigame 1 prosecutor thread

Posted April 29, 2014 by Apollo Justice

Ahoy, Black Yoshi! You are the Prosecutor. You have no interest in the Town or the Mafia, but using your ace lawyerly skills, you seek the end, the lynch of a particular individual in order to win. But who might that be? Well, well.. let me… just check my notes here...

Ah, yes! Your target to lynch is The Bandit. If he is night-killed, you will become a Survivor.

Good luck!

Only thing I don't get is what is the purpose of this thread, aside from sharing my thoughts. Do I have any night-powers or something? (Probably not, but there's always hope...)

Also, even though no one else can see this thread, can I share if I've been whispered to?

The main purpose of this thread was to reveal your Prosecutor target and so we could contact you easily in regard to your power if we need to (depending on what happens to The Bandit.)

And you can share anything regarding whispers or the game so long as none of it is done in private :D.

In addition, good playing points can potentially come from sharing strategy or things of the like in your thread. Sort of like how you get good playing points from strategizing with the Mafia in the Mafia thread, but you're just independent this time.

It's helpful to take notes, too, or just sort of provide the hosts with some of your fun thoughts {:P} You can share anything you want here.

Ah, thanks.

With that cleared up, I've decided it would be best (obviously) to wait it out until Bandit comes under reasonable suspicion before I try to act. I'll have to really pin down what to say so that I won't come off as looking too suspicious, but I still have to play in roughly the same way I play when I'm Town-sided.

I happened to be whispered to tonight, and it was probably Mafia given that the Whisperer in question referred to themselves as "We," which means s/he was probably referring to a group (unless s/he is so obsessed with Ayn Rand's Anthem book that s/he's referring to him/herself in the plural. I can only (safely) assume that the Mafia figured me out through the Prophet's clues. They apparently want to help me...given how quickly they figured out my role, I'm very hesitant to believe that; I'd sooner believe that they'd rather see me dead.

...if you're wondering where the Anthem reference came from, I read that book in my freshman English class in high school, and my teacher just had that way of teaching every single book such that you remember it for the rest of your life.

...for my own reference, here's tonight's whisper: Hey darling, we know you's the prosecutor. Inconspicuously name your target, maybe we'll help.

Haha, never heard of the book until you mentioned it, but I wiki'd it and it looks pretty darn interesting - I used to really like dystopian literature.

Seeing as The Bandit is now dead, you are the Survivor. Your goal is to simply stay alive until the game ends.

I'll still have access to this thread until I die/the game ends, right?

...I'm pondering whether or not to discuss Night 1's whisper in the main thread; I'm pretty sure, based on that, that I've got one Mafia member pinned down, but this is Mafia, after all. Remember what happened last game, when Bubba the Journalist tried to make it look like one of the new-folks-to-GTx0 was the Journalist by referring to Apollo as a "he"? Definitely could be happening again; it could be just the Mafia's attempt to throw me offtrack. (Seriously, is it something I can bring up, so long as I avoid stating the whisper verbatim?)

Yes sir.

(Seriously, is it something I can bring up, so long as I avoid stating the whisper verbatim?)


I'm not sure I understand - are you asking if you can post the whisper in the main thread? You're absolutely allowed to, and you can even post it verbatim, if you want. There's no limitations to what you can post in the main thread so long as you're not doing OOG or breaking some other rule (and of course, the Whisper doesn't count as OOG).

^^^That's what I meant.

Posting a whisper here rather than through notifications because I don't have access to dropbox easily enough atm :).

The message:

Heeeey special, us again. Don't vote to lynch if you want to stay on-board this boat, that ok darling?

Alright, now I'm almost certain I know who one of the Mafia is, and it's not Rapunzel. (Watch the game end and I'm dead wrong, as I so often am in Mafia.) That sounds like something Apollo might say if she was my Defense Attorney, but of course she's one of the hosts. So, let's see here:

2. white lancer -- almost certainly the Bulletproof Townie
3. Black Yoshi -- Prosecutor
6. chiefsonny
12. Pirate_Ninja
13. Lightvayne
14. Jo Nathan
15. Count Dooku -- almost certainly the Cop
16. Moonray
17. nutmeg94 -- almost certainly the Doctor
19. Kyon
20. Rapunzel
22. Hindenburg

Of these, of course, Dooku is almost certainly the Cop, and nutmeg is almost certainly the Doctor; if he is the Doctor, that makes white lancer the Bulletproof Townie. Eliminating those (and myself) leaves:

6. chiefsonny
12. Pirate_Ninja
13. Lightvayne
14. Jo Nathan
16. Moonray
19. Kyon
20. Rapunzel
22. Hindenburg

Rapunzel is almost certainly a Whis[/g)perer, though which one, I don't know. I'm inclined to believe she's the Nice Whisperer, especially since she's new to the game and wouldn't have the necessary experience to lie outright and get away with it, but I cannot discount the chance that she's Mafia.

The language of both Whispers I've gotten suggests that it's someone with either a) a hell of a lot of experience and cunning and/or b) simply outlandish language to begin with. The only person I really see who fits this is Hindenburg.

I'm not discounting Rapunzel, nor anyone else I haven't eliminated, but Hindenburg is now my top suspect. Of course, if I want to survive, I cannot possibly go forth with this, at least not directly. What to do, what to do...?
