night 10 on my own here we go

Posted June 26, 2013 by White Thunder

The town awoke to a screech. The soul of Zanic, the Lazarus, was rising to the heavens above them. Unfortunately he couldn't bring himself back again. The town thanked him for his contributions and got back to business.

IMO the godfather is an experienced, active player, as suggested by the big name players targeted early on.

Everyone is suspicious just off the fact that I suggested a roleclaim when 7 remained, I don't think that was that terrible an idea (although it ended up being a bad idea because of Zanic's great play).

I think chief brought up a good point day8. Ninja hasn't really voted this game.

I'm not sure. Since those big name players were targeted early on, it could have been due to any of the Mafia members who were still alive at the time.

I can't speak for everyone, but that suspicion brought up by Roxas at the beginning of the game hasn't left my mind. Also Black Yoshi brought up a couple good points in the last round, and your posts toward the end... seemed strange to me.

I'll withhold my vote for now. We have 7 players and only one is guilty, so the remaining Mafia can only act alone (unless you guys are all Skyping and other shit again) and is vastly outnumbered. I suggest we all express our suspicions and see if there's a majority opinion.

June 26, 2013

Jo Nathan

I agree with what seems to be a consensus that the remaining mafia member is a veteran player. #85, chief, Ninja, or Jo. Maybe not Chief, since #85 has been mentioning his name the entire game and he is still alive. Leaning toward Ninja, since she was voting for Zanic the night he died the first time.

#85 in his first post of the game claimed to be the Godfather. Does that mean anything? Probably not. But I think it's noteworthy.

June 26, 2013
Edit
Bubba

IMO it's got to be #85. I'd forgotten he claimed Godfather in his first post this game (actually I thought that was just a joke, and quite frankly I've come to expect things like that on Day 1, especially since Speed Bike Pro has started playing), and last round both he and Trever thought a roleclaim would be a good idea...and then both of them claimed Townie. Something's off about that.

June 26, 2013
Edit
Black Yoshi

I said I was trying to play a suspicious game early on, to try to bait the mafia into killing me, since I am just a townie, it wouldn't matter. Go ahead and vote to kill me, when I have voted for the most mafia out of ANY of you remaining. Zanic was really the only one I trusted from the beginning and I kept my votes close to his as you can see.

an unsurprising result, hm~

I need to look all this over after lunch.

June 26, 2013

Pirate_Ninja

first off, I don't think it's particularly reliable to ballpark the Godfather's experience - or lack thereof - based on who died when. With such a large field of players, the mafia was pretty big as well and even if he were new there'd be plenty of room for the experienced mafia members to make their opinions known. Bear in mind we're talking about a game where weid was the assassin.

I'm not feeling especially strong about anyone right now, but if I were forced to make a choice at this time I'd probably lean in Jo's general direction. Further study is required~

June 27, 2013
Edit
Pirate_Ninja

Interesting...

I wasn't particularly suspicious of Pirate_Ninja to begin with but now I'm even less so. If he were the remaining Mafia he most certainly would be jumping at the opportunity to, er, jump on the #85 bandwagon.

So Pirate_Ninja, why are you leaning toward my direction?

June 27, 2013
Edit
Jo Nathan

On the contrary, the final mafia would likely just passively sit around and watch people target others. Makes more strategic sense. Have the town dig their own grave. Would like to hear from chief, and igga (lol)

During the last night round I was logged on the site the entire time the round lasted.

It started at at 6:18 PM on 6/25 and ended at 1:24 AM on 6/26.

Since I was playing Skyrim on my desktop, I had my laptop logged onto the site. Applying the LLight method, (using the button at the top left corner that looks like a sick monkey), I checked who was logged on and if they were posting.

Of the players that are still alive this is who was on besides my self and made no post that I could see.

Bubba: around 9 min. total
#85: around 7 min. total
Pirate_Ninja: around 5 min total
Jo Nathan: around 2 min. total.

Does this mean anything? They could have been lurking. That's for all of us to decide for ourselves and vote accordingly.

My top suspects at this time are

Bubba
Pirate_Ninja:
#85

But I have not made up my mine who I'll vote for yet. After lunch I'm going back and read through all the post from the start of the game.

God, I gotta get a life.{fp}

    That's not a sick monkey, it's actually an 8-bit sprite of Link from the original Zelda games, but to each his own I guess.

    Anyway, haven't seen anything yet to point me away from #85.

    I think #85 is our best bet, to be honest. But it wouldn't hurt to take our time this round. It's 6 against 1, but it won't stay like this if we pick wrong. The more time we have to discuss everything as a group, the better.

    Agree with this. ^^

    We can only lose 4 in order to win this game. If we guess wrong that's only two rounds including this one.

    Looking back over your voting, you didn't vote Feral off. Doesn't mean anything since you did vote for all of the others, but you shouldn't be saying you voted for all of the mafia. {:P}

    Responding to chief's page monitoring, LLight's method was used to catch a group of people conversing together at the same time (using page refreshes), hence how he was able to catch 3/4. There is only one mafia member, so unless he is talking to the host, there probably isn't much stock in it.

    And I used the same method to see how many living players were on the site and if they were posting anywhere on the site. When you only have one it's hard to catch a group with this method.

    we could trade places if you want~

    I'm the only one who actually has a vote to my name (cry)


    So Pirate_Ninja, why are you leaning toward my direction?
    mm, fair question. At this point it isn't even a matter of who looks most guilty to me as much as who looks least innocent. I'm far from well-versed in anyone's 'typical' style, so I'm left to look for things that do catch my attention. For instance, on Day 5, chiefsonny shared this:

    So here's who I think may be the last 5 Mafia. Keep in mind this is mostly from a gut feeling, although I have taken into consideration the way they are playing based on the way they have played in previous game, as well as their posting or lack thereof in this game.

    weid man
    Castrael
    Kyon
    Trever
    Bubba
    Hindenburg

    I know, I listed 6. I'm just not as sure on Bubba and Hindenburg.
    it strikes me as unilkely for him to have pointed out every mafia member other than himself like that, even if it was only ascribed to a "gut feeling." I'd think he would have at least have left Trever off the list since he remained so under-the-radar. It's no guarantee, but it's enough to make me overlook such heinous acts as suggesting I'm guilty (the nerve!). At the very least I hope to give things another look before committing.

    June 28, 2013
    Edit
    Pirate_Ninja

    well, clearly I need to do something (again) to protect the one person I know isn't mafia (crs)

    I've drifted away from Jo a bit, so I'm opting for one of the other players I'm unsure about. A good voting record is nice, but that reaction to pressure made me uneasy.

    June 28, 2013
    Edit
    Pirate_Ninja

    Imo this is just more evidence that Pirate is mafia. She toyed with the idea of keeping me around because she knows the town would probably vote me off whenever. It makes more sense to a mafia to want to get rid of me later than now, but it seems that she gave up and decided to vote for me knowing its just an easy way to the next day. You've voted what, for 1 or 2 mafia?

    June 28, 2013
    Edit
    #85

    Ok, I'm slightly embarrassed to ask, but Pirate_Ninja, are you a he or a she?

    Also just to let you guys know, I don't know if/how long my Internet will hold up this weekend because my town and surrounding towns have been ravaged by flooding (I'm actually surprised I still have Internet) so if I go quiet, that's the reason.

    Hah, same confusion here. I always thought Pirate_Ninja was female, going back to old GT even, but I've been doubting myself recently.

    Hope you're holding out all right, Jo...had a few rainy spats here lately but nothing serious.

    and hey, maybe now it's three. For all I know, the mafia got together way back when and decided it'd be a good plan for their Godfather to vote fairly aggressively against his own to avoid detection, especially given that a Cop investigation wouldn't blow his cover. It'd certainly work well with your penchant for highlighting voting records.

    The only thing I know for sure about this group right now is that I'm not mafia. Lynching me isn't going to get you anything but a 4-1 count at the start of Day 11.

    Maybe the rest of the town forgot how you went to bat to try to save weid man, but I havent.

    Edit
    #85

    ahaha what now? You're raising my suspicions~

    quoth the fifth day:
    at the very least I think lynching weid is unlikely to be a threat

    We've had some quick rounds lately, so if he did have a special role I think it'd more likely be mafia-sided, where he'd have a support team to guide the decision-making process.

    I didn't try to save him; I said he was probably a safe lynch - potential mafia, or in the worst case a powerless townie. I doubted that weid would be making major power role decisions on his own quickly, meaning that if he did have a role of any kind I thought it was most likely as part of the mafia, where he'd have a whole team of more-experienced people to advise him. Which turned out to be exactly the case.

    June 29, 2013
    Edit
    Pirate_Ninja

    Hm, maybe I am mixing it up with someone else, I'll have to go back and look (actually now that I think about it it could have been Castrael) but if he was such a safe lynch why didnt you vote for him?

    June 29, 2013

    Hope you're holding out all right, Jo


    Heh, thanks. I live up on a high hill so I'm safe. :)

    I haven't seen anything to draw my suspicion away from #85 so far, although some of our other players have gotten a bit quiet... perhaps too quiet?

    June 29, 2013
    Edit
    Jo Nathan

    Going to bed now, round will likely be over when I wake up. So I guess I better vote.

    I really think it's down between Pirate and #85 at this point. Sorry Pirate, but going to go with you. Zanic voted for you the night he died the first time, a time when the mafia was desperate and down to 7-2.

    Whelp, seening as we've only got two and a bit hours left this round, gotta go with my top suspicion.

    It's been a very interesting day in Whoville.

    We have 2 players trying to prove each other are Mafia

    We have a tie vote
    PN 2
    #85 2
    Not voting 1

    And two people that have not voted yet.
    Me
    igga

    I'm convinced that igga is a non factor. The last time he posted in this game was June 17th and the last time he posted elsewhere on the site was June 15th.

    So that leaves me. Todays events have made me think more and more about last game when the Mafia under the leadership of their Godfather pulled out a win.
    So I have started to rethink what I want to do going forward.
    I could break this tie by voting for one of the two that have 2 votes, but if I'm wrong then after tonight we are down 2.
    And I'm no longer sure the 3 people I thought might be Mafia are Mafia.
    So what happens tonight, I think may shed a lot of light on this game.

    June 29, 2013
    Edit
    chiefsonny
     

    if he was such a safe lynch why didnt you vote for him?
    the Castrael defense drama was ongoing at the time and I thought it was good to let that play out further instead of potentially ending things too early. And she did kinda dig her own grave there in the eyes of the public so I stand by that choice. The only problem is I failed to get back on in time to vote while it mattered, so it looks like kind of a half-assed commitment. But I wouldn't pitch the assassin of all people as a lynch target if I were mafia.

    June 29, 2013
    Edit
    Pirate_Ninja

    Jo, before you cast your vote for me, you said 1 of the biggest reasons was the Roxas suspicion from earlier in the game.

    I'd ask you to take another look at it, his accusations were absolutely false. He said I play an aggressive game when I am mafia? I did quite the opposite.

    June 29, 2013
    Edit

    I'll probably host kill igga at the end of the next round if he hasn't posted.

    Round ends in 35 minutes.

    June 29, 2013
    Edit
    White Thunder

    The town, after days of deliberations (I'm assuming- they didn't really post at all) decided that once again it was in their best interest not to lynch someone during the day. Quite an interesting strategy...

    24 hours or until the night kill is chosen.
