Mafia: Baker Street [Game in progress]

I’ve been rereading and searching the thread, but have come to few conclusions. I have a few strong Town leans but have no strong Scum suspects. A weak suspect is

Vote: Pleonast

I have a hunch that among the recent front-runners other than TexCat (Pizza, Astral, Darth) there is at least one Scum. There was some Scum-scum bussing going on. However I can’t figure out which of the three is Scum. If Pleo is Scum then, on Day 1 when Pleo jumped into the lead (perhaps as a result of Scum votes), Scum had a sudden need to join a bandwagon on Dizzy. However all three of these suspects joined that bandwagon.

Of the three, one seems slightly more suspicious to me.

Vote: Darth Sensitive

You’re still alive, I’m vanilla and the best thing I can do for town is either lynch a scumbag or eat a murder.

If I am scanned I can attack with absolute impunity, which is really the way I prefer to play the game anyway.

If I am silenced by the murder, all the better since it costs 1 vanilla townie. Could keep our powers alive longer.

If I’m not silenced I’m scanned innocent with two dead godfather scum. And then I get to lynch Astral and then we can wrap this game up.

Welcome to the game; you are Brian Donner

ROLE TYPE: Vanilla
ALIGNMENT: Yours (Town)
WIN CONDITION: You win when all of Mine (Scum) have been eliminated.

*Mr. Donner –

This is to invite you to attend an informal gathering at my home this Tuesday evening. I know what you’re thinking: why would he invite an ordinary carpenter to such a prestigious event?

Sincerely,

M*
POWERS:Regrettably, none. But maybe someone will need a shelf.----

CLUE: A man named Langdale Pike is in possession of false information that should be ignored.

PS- I still believe I have the false clue and Langdale Pike has a true clue.

IRL = not happy times.

Five.

You know who else has a list of scum? Yeah, scum.

Your reveal of your clue after all your pussy-footing around is :frowning:

Question 1: Why did you think your clue would not be bad to post? You supposedly have a list of 5 people who could be scum. You do not know how many if any are actually scum but thought it might be a good idea to post your clue and wanted everyone else to post their clues because what’s the harm? Are you really that “clueless”?

Question 2: Were either of the scum who have been lynched on your list?

Question 3: Were any of the folks on your list among the town who have died?

vote Mahaloth for the same reasons I voted you before, all the clue bs, and for more of the same.

vote Inner Stickler because you questioned Daphne after she outed the GF. This is a slightly shakier vote due to the back-up GF, but I still don’t like your play and I don’t like Mahaloth’s clue. Feels like a scum busing to me.

I’ve questioned DB a lot. You might need to be more specific.

Okay after weeks of hellish nonsense, I have a day off, then I work a day, then I have more than one day off.

Because of this change in my RL, I want to get more invested in this game.

I’m available to discuss our current situation and I’m online often and for long stretches of time.

My offer is to discuss any and all persons of interest with any and all living players who wish to, doesn’t matter if I suspect you or not.

Anything is better than what has passed for activity in the past couple days. Humor me and I’ll humor you.

Offer’s on the table, talk to me.

I am pretty stumped at this point, beyond my already stated but unsubstantiated suspicions. If the silent ones would contribute I would feel better about where we are.

I still think the name claim should go forward.

I have no objections to voting for any person who hasn’t posted in the last (random time increment, feel free to extend if you think this is inadequate) 3 real-life days on principle of being unhelpful.

Who among the talkers warrants attention?

catching up.

after a quick read:

i’m thinking it’s either she went after one of them but didn’t receive any support, they killed her because she likely wasn’t watched or scum just wants to screw with us.

yes, i’ve basically dealt with the situation or perhaps it’s more accurate to say that the situation resolved itself albeit not in the way i had hoped.


some interesting posts in light of Texcat’s flipping scum:


i’m reconsidering Astral’s scumminess. both he and **Texcat **had similar reasons for voting me but i don’t think two scum would do that.

was **Rysto **the difference in the voting? it just struck me as odd. i can’t say why. just a gut feel.

i’m not sure name claiming is okay. there seem to be clues that include names. they can lead to lynches of townies if the clues are false.

I think we’re all fairly aware the clues are potentially false.

I sincerely doubt we’re going to lynch anyone based solely on a clue.

Still, that is the pool I choose to shoot into. No, no one lynched has had one of the names I have yet.

And the players who have been NKed?

Sorry about my absence for a few days (I haven’t been on the internets that much during that time).

But still, this post pings me big time as an attempt to get on the good side of a lot of posters for not very good reasons. So:

Vote AskThePizzaGuy

and for good measure, Mahaloth’s supposed clue strikes me as extremely in-plausible. A list of 5 possible scum players would be game-breaking if true, and therefore far too obviously a false clue. I don’t think storyteller goes around handing townie badges. Lynch all liars!

Vote Mahaloth

I think DiggitCamara may be right. There are several reasons to suspect Pizza. I think I’d let the “kinder gentler” Pizza lull me.

Vote: AskthePizzaGuy

None, unless I have missed it. Do we have a current dead list with revealed names on it?

Post #945. That’s barely 50 posts ago. There’s skimming and then there’s just laziness.

Here’s a way you can avoid a mislynch. Scan me tonight, Daphne.

Now you can do something productive today, Diggit and septimus.
