Genre Fiction Mafia

The Game Room
1221

Also, Pedescribe is frustrating me because he hasn’t posted in 16 days.

Red, I know the rules explicitly state you won’t enforce participation, but Pedescribe’s disappearance is egregious. Is there some way you could poke or prod him into returning?

I wish we could have a gentleman’s agreement with the scum to just lynch him off in exchange for no night-kill (excepting of course if he’s scum, in which case they could kill away), but there’d be no way to enforce it, we couldn’t know if scum agreed, and town gains by his lynch regardless of his alignment, meaning scum wouldn’t want to. Oh well. Woulda been a fun story to tell in future mafia games! :smiley:

1222

Now you guys are going to see why I didn’t want to do this.

Name: Mr. Nancy
Alignment: Unaligned
Universe/Story: American Gods
Role: Stealth Survivor
Powers: You may not be the target of any non-killing powers. Any player who targets you with a non killing power will be roleblocked instead.
Wincondition: You win if you are alive at the end of the game.

For reference, even though Pleo’s gone, Page 135:

“Tiger’s balls, yeah,
I ate Tiger’s balls
Now ain’t nobody gonna stop me ever at all
Nobody put me up against the big black wall
'Cos I ate that Tiger’s testimonials
I ate Tiger’s balls.”

1223

I’m going to bet, for the record, that we have at least one scum in the early pre-random-order claimers (gambling their ability to pick an unused name against the boost one gets from claiming early).

1224

You could have just not mentioned your powers.

On an unrelated note, I’m compiling my list of every vote ever, and I came across this gem:

A lovelier bit of hedging I never did see. “Something is not quite right,” without any specifics. “I don’t really know what it is,” already trying to answer unasked questions. “I could be wrong about my vote but…,” setting up plausible deniability for when gnarly flips. “As I said, I could be wrong,” further distancing herself from her own vote.

Votes are cheap.
Vote Silver Jan.

I’ll update some more if I see something else jump out at me.

1225

  1. I reiterate my frustration with Pedescrbie. This is not the first, and I don’t think the second time he has done this. I think he was Weasley brother with Storyteller and he never showed up after awhile. Story had to ask him to reveal himself.

  2. **Weedy, you are up next. **

1226

With a power like “roleblocks everything but kills automatically”, I’d’ve looked pretty damn suspicious when you got around to investigating me either way. Honesty is the best policy.

At least now you know why I was so damn sure we had third-parties in the game, eh?

1227

Key:
Blue = known town
Green = suspected, claimed, investigated town (explained below)
Purple = third party
Red = known scum (none yet)

Deleted lines show unvotes.

Suspected or Claimed town:
Astral = Cop
Inner = Doc
Fluid = bomb detector
Zeriel = 3rd party survivor
Tom Scud = coroner

Not counted = vanilla claims. I’d also like to note that after typing it so many times, “color” no longer looks like a word to me.

1228

One mistake noted already: in Day 4, Mahaloth should be green.

1229

Also, I list Zeriel incorrectly as “suspected or claimed town,” but correctly color them as purple in the chart.

1230

No he shouldn’t. I swear, you look at a long list of names and colors, and you start to go a little crazy.

1231

You missed this rule, which I believe, in a roundabout way, covers this situation:

The moderator will not discuss possibilities for modkills or substitution with any player in the game…

1232

Oops, sorry. I did indeed miss that rule.

On with the analysis!

First thing to note, everybody our known town voted for!

TexCat
On Day 1, Texcat voted for the following people: Astral Rejection, fubbleskag. One known town, one suspected town.

Day 2, Texcat voted for Astral Rejection, and that’s it.

Day 3, Texcat voted for Winston Smith, Zeriel, and Sister Coyote. Two unknowns and a third party.

Special Ed is up next. On Day 1, Ed voted for Astral Rejection and fubbleskag. Again, one known town, one suspected town.

Now, gnarlycharlie. Gnarly voted for only one person on Day 1: Astral Rejection.

Day 2, Gnarly voted for: Astral Rejection and himself.

Next we’ll do Hirka T’Bawa.
Day 1: Mahaloth, Sister Coyote, Pleonast, fubbleskag, Pleonast again. Two known townies, one suspected, and one unknown.

Day 2: Gnarlycharlie. Known town.

Day 3: Zeriel. Third party.

Pleonast
Day 1: Sister Coyote, fubbleskag. Unknown, followed by known town.

Day 2: gnarlycharlie

Day 3: Did not vote.

Fubbleskag
Day 1: Astral Rejection, Pleonast

A couple of names recur. First, 3 of them voted for me at least once. I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention that. Nearly all of their votes on me were on Day 1 for understandable reasons.

Sister Coyote comes up often. We know their suspicions were honest, so that’s a mark against Sister Coyote. Winston is another unknown who TexCat voted for on Day 3.

Given how many votes on Day 1 and 2 ended up on now-known town, it’s obvious scum didn’t need to work very hard at garnering mislynches. A careful examination of the throw-away, one-off, and runner-up votes should be helpful.

1233

That is to say, a careful examination of the throw-away, one-off, and runner-up votes should be helpful when compared to final votes. There’s a lot of information up there.

1234

Vanilla Town

Genre Fiction Role
Name: Ford Prefect
Alignment: Consolidated Alliance of Raftdwelling Slumlords
Universe/Story: Hitchhickers Guide to the Galaxy
Role: Vanilla
Powers: None
Wincondition: You win when all threats to the Consolidated Alliance of Raftdwelling Slumlords have been vanquished AND at least one member of the Consolidated Alliance of Raftdwelling Slumlords are alive.

1235

I think his case on Pleonast was a beat-up,and therefore possibly scummy. But it was only Day 1, and there weren’t many good cases on Day 1. Losing interest in the game seems like a null tell, probably not to do with his role.

I think if he is scum, there is not much point in voing for him, because he has hardly said anything, there are no interactions to look at, not much of a voting history. I don’t know what Red would do if he was the last scum standing but I think we can worry about it later.

1236

Inner Stickler is next after me on the claim list, and Stanislaus after him as Inner has already claimed.

1237

:smack:

I really was starting to go crazy. Mahaloth should indeed be green, because I investigated him.

You missed my day 4 vote for pedescribe in post 1125.

1239

And one Day was enough of that, tyvm. I can’t believe you managed the whole thing.

This, and include day three to boot if you believe Inner Stickler.

Link to that breadcrumb, Zeriel?

1240

In a themed game, I always try to breadcrumb something weird on Day One as to my character name:

Unless you were talking about something else…?
