Farewell Hooker, and Total. Two fewer vanilla reduces the pool for scum to hide in. > [@Lakai](#): > > Continuing the discussion from last Night, why would Koldanar fake a claim? Was he ever in danger of being lynched? > > Also, why is Mhaye still alive? Why is scum letting him live? There was interest in cultists claiming, it’s possible Koldanar saw it as the best time, a unforced claim is more likely to be accepted, but he can still be hiding something. As for MHaye, I don’t know, even if he doesn’t pose a threat, he’s as good as confirmed as possible, scum must have seen a bigger threat or target in Hooker: Hooker was advocating a mass claim, unvoted Cookies in case she was a bomb, had indicated that TexCat was his next target, and previously had voted Nanook - multiple potential reasons. > [@Nanook\_of\_the\_North\_Shore](#): > > Assume that he is. What does it mean? Unless you’re advocating for mass cultist lynch at this point, which still seems like a mistake barring some new info that seems incredibly unlikely to arrive. A mistake for the cultists, or for town? > [@Johnny\_Bravo](#): > > That’s a good point, but I really hate the idea of dismissing evidence with “the game might be written inconsistently” as the reasoning. > > What about having the same BACKGROUND as the Deacons? He’s a different role within the same faction, but there is no common BACKGROUND for the other three factions. I don’t have much of a problem with his role PM, it’s a little different but the tone is consistent, it’s the switch I think is really weird - informing a hidden third party of the existence of another hidden third party and that they are dangerous to a supposed survivor group? Isn’t everyone a danger to a survivor group? > [@Khameleon](#): > > Although something does seem fishy about **Koldanar’s** claim, I can’t help but think if it’s fake that he would have been more careful about it jiving with the other role descriptions. If you’re going to go to the trouble of attempting a fake role claim, you’re going to be meticulous about it’s wording. And this is what’s holding me back, why add the bit about Glados? Why edit the powers sections to be so fluffy, rather than comparing to the known role PMs, why mess up the claim? > [@Cygnus42](#): > > Odd choice for a night kill, isn’t it though? You’d think a claimed role like MHaye would get more attention, but he’s survived through a day kill and a night kill. > > Agree that Koldanar’s claim as the pope of LUTHA-town seems odd, but I’d hate to read too much into the wording. > > Surprised that Johnny B. is still alive - he’s taken over as the most prolific analyzer of things, a position that usually attracts scum attention. Does this mean you are somewhat suspicious of MHaye, Koldanar and Johnny B? > [@Hawkeyeop](#): > > This is one thing I want to look at today. Given scum have consistently been killing high volume posters, any high volume posters who have not been killed should be under greater scrutiny. Greater than the low volume posters? > [@Johnny\_Bravo](#): > > There are certainly prolific posters in that bunch, but scum have also done a hell of a job taking out our power roles. How many of those posters can you reasonably say are dead because of their post volume? And, to hawkeye, how many were killed by scum, vs Batman or Glados? > [@Koldanar](#): > > Hey, I can answer this at least. > > I was told by the mods that the target would receive note that something happened - Wait, so what happened on Day 3? Who did Ender investigate, who did you redirect him to, and what result did he get? Let’s look: > [@Mafia Reunion Day 6](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mafia-reunion-day-6/779855/258): > > Day 3, I chose ToeJam again. I was still suspicious and figured if I came this far, I might as well close it out. And apparently this is where MHaye “caught” me. > > Good news everyone! He wasn’t a Wolf! I bet this surprises everyone at this point. > [@Mafia Reunion: Day Seven](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mafia-reunion-day-seven/780419/105): > > Night 3 - EnderW. I’m a little confused here, so I need to look back at his post - was he already the IJ then? (On re-read - he picked the day power, so at night nothing would happen). > [@Mafia Reunion: Day Seven](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mafia-reunion-day-seven/780419/259): > > Enderw24 -\> snfaulker (no result, again) Oh, so Ender investigated D3 and you redirected him N3 - seems like a really, really weak power, once per cycle, only for one phase, when so many roles are either passive or act in one phase only, but it also seems to add up. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mafia-reunion-day-eight/781068)._
