Just wanted to poke my head in and let you all know that I’ve volunteered to help be a moderator contact for the mafia threads (being an avid spectator and all that). While there will be limitations on the number of simultaneous games, we can organize more than one.
I know NAF1138 stated earlier that he probably would not to start a new game right away, so I’m putting the call out - if you’d like to organize a game, please let me know (so I can make sure 15 people aren’t going to do it at once). Email’s in the profile, or PMs are fine as well. I just ask that someone let me have a slot in the next one. We could conceivably start one before the current game is over, if interest is there.
I think they’re finally getting suspicious of the right people, like brewha,ArizonaTeach, and hocow (I’ve long been convinced they’re all or at least most ofthem are scum, and their reactions to the accusations look like scum to me too). It looks like the wagon may get rolling on brewha, and if she is scum, I think the town will be okay. I also imagine that the SK will start targetting mafia again. You’re right; it looks kind of bad, but about half of the mafia are dead.
Well, pima did make reasonable arguments and, thanks to my shady math, I was inclined to believe it. Even with that, I didn’t have a good feeling about targetting you, I had a strong gut that you were town, but I couldn’t go against what I thought were such good odds.
I also think you’re right about the town looking for a leader. My being pretty much confirmed, and posting a lot made it easy for the townspeoeple to follow me, and the mafia to hide in that wagon. I think in retrospect, having a town leader is a double-edged sword because of that; even worse if the leader is wrong.
I think the mafia knew you weren’t the SK, because the only real reason for suspecting Autolycus as the GF was on the theory that you were the SK, had targetted him, the targetting failed, and were trying to breadcrumb me to target him.
As I think I said above, in retrospect, I should have argued to lynch Autolycus as a test of both you and him and I should have targetted hocow or another likely mafia. Oh well… 20/20 and all that.
I just realized something, but I won’t post it in the GQ thread because it’s sort of analysis of the game (I already screwed up there once by misreading the rules).
The Beat Cop isn’t supposed to report if a pro-town power role is found, only that someone is a ‘citizen’ or other (anti-town like SK). This means that if the BC says ‘Citizen’, the might actually have shown up as a Mason, or another BC, etc. This complicates matters, meaning a ‘Citizen’ report isn’t as accurate as was previously thought (although it has the highest probability of being correct, and the SK read was the lowest).
If this is a Mafia conspiracy with pima claiming cop, it’s being very well done.
Well, obviously, if pimaspinner gets a detective, VIG, DOC, or mason reading, he should report it as precisely that, because it is known it is bogus. However, if he gets a GA, beat cop, or citizen reading, he should only say “town friendly”.
I agree, that if pimaspinner is mafia, it’s well executed, but I can’t imagine them deliberately sacrificing another mafia member to pull it off. If she were faking, she would have been better off identifying a bunch of people she knew were likely to be town friendly. Of course, they may have thought it was worth it to trade a mafia member for several town lynches and the death of the doctor… but it doesn’t seem likely.
I also imagine if pimaspinner were lying the other cop(s) (Menocchio, perhaps) would have investigated pimaspinner last night to make sure and would have found a way to strongly FOS her. The fact that that didn’t happen seems to strongly suggest that pimaspinner is honest, and will die tonight; I can’t imagine the mafia leaving a cop alive on a hope that she’ll be lynched tomorrow, because it means one more identification, and then they’ll ALL still be confirmed the next day.
Oh, and the Queuing wagon is very troublesome. I thought the town learned already from the Enfant Terrible ** and Gadarene lynchings, along with the whole chrisk ** FOS that resulted in the doctor being revealed, that stubbornness like that is likely not a scum tell. It’s even worse that several of the votes on him are high on my scum-dar. If they lynch him, I foresee bad things for the town.
While I’d had my doubts about Queuing before–if I’d lasted longer all my FOS investigations would have surely found every town friendly role there was and not a single scum!–I’m leaning towards town now, too. Which makes things look poor for the town if this continues.
His last post…just sorta pinged…oh I was away …i didnt get a chance to protect mad…i wouldnt have voted for him if i was here…conviently misses voting but shows up within minutes of the murder. Thats the way I read it anyhow.
And TY Chrisk …ya mighta kept me alive,will have to wait and see.
Wayyyyy back in the first game (when you were scum, and I was town), the day of my lynching it came down to a vote race between you and I. A few folks were away from the game who could have potentially tipped the scale in my favor. Not that I’m bitter or vindictive or anything.
Til about page 20 and then realizing ya gotta go back and read all that stuff again. Course there are only 20 players in the 3rd edition so it wont get to awful bad I wouldn’t think.
I really didn’t want to get killed, but I damn sure didn’t wanna read through 60 pages of that mess.
We could conceivably start one before the current game is over, if interest is there.
