Hi there, Majora'sMask9, you are the Undercover Prosecutor.

As the Undercover Prosecutor, your role is to get the mafia to kill the specified target. If they do so, you get a point and you also get a new target. You also don't want them to kill you (directly or indirectly!); you want to die by town suspicion at all costs! Or just survive, that would be cool too.

Your first target is:

Hindenberg.

Question, though I think I know the answer: If I get the target killed via dinner date manipulation, I assume that wouldn't count in my favor, or would it?

But if the target is killed by outside means, I'll still get a new target, correct?

Not unless your dinner date was mafia.

Yes.

Note that any mafia kill counts. If a mafia member gets an item that lets them kill Hindenberg and you were the one that convinced them, you get the point for that. It doesn't have to be just the mafia night kill.

I have a feeling you know I'm mafia but I haven't told the mafia about you yet. I'll propose a proposition (I've never gone back on my word in mafia when I make a promise, as a way to ensure a sense of trust with other people.) If you keep me alive for at least one or two more rounds, I won't tell the mafia about you. But that isn't the only benefit of not shooting me:

I'm the undercover prosecutor and the mafia will want to kill me anyway. My next target IS mafia and I'm going to convince them to kill them in the next night round. After that happens, they'll figure out that I'm mafia and will likely want to nightkill me. If you send me on a dinner date with someone with instructions to kill me, I'll get to keep my 2 undercover prosecutor points and you'll have a mafia member killed by their own team in the next night round, which would benefit the town.

So this is how things could happen:

You kill me now and you have one mafia member down.

You don't kill me. I convince the mafia to take out a mafia member tomorrow (trust me--I CAN do this, and I have things set up to do it already.) That means the mafia will waste their night kill on themselves for one round. After that, you can kill me on a dinner date. You kill two mafia members, and I get two player points. Win-win.

Not trying to force your hand or anything, just offering a mutually beneficial alternative to killing me and I hope you'll consider it :).

This may have to wait; Currently the dinner date is between you and Roxas. Yes I know the issue with the times, but I decided to extent the night round instead because of the headache of trying to extract viable information from the current panels (which are based on round, not time).

Anyway, congrats on killing Hindenberg. Your next target is Pirate_Ninja. (hey he's an irredeemable zombie)

I really hope people understand when the game is over that I'm mostly just appealing to emotion here :'(. Whenever I play mafia and act angered I feel like people might take it as me taking the game too seriously and getting too emotionally invested. But it's definitely just an act for the sake of looking convincing :/. If I can make it look like I'm genuinely flabbergasted and upset with the idea of an "insanity" trait or something similar being in use, I might be able to buy myself another night and use my last Shady Detective use (and might even get PN killed for a point.)
