Who was it that brought up that lynching brewha meant we were risking giving someone else sole control of the batswitch? Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk ---

Well, I did, but I know others did, too. (Yeah, I know I said I was leaving…I am powerless over Mafia, it’s a disease). ---

OK. So. We have lost a lot of blue. I am hoping for at leat some crossfire between the factions tonight, but I am not really holding my breath on that one. I am still not terribly concerned about the 3P (and maybe I should be) but I am really not caring too much about the switches right now, either. Those who jumped off the brewha train and onto the ToeJam train were not doing so to protect a scummy brewha. There’s likely some scum there, but at this point I figure there is likely scum everywhere. I am going to have a beer and look over all those records again. And how stupid is it that it still bugs me that the Mafia Consigliere was at the Alpha Wolf’s funeral? Even knowing that it was just something that amused our formidable mods. ---

> [@Johnny\_Bravo](#): > > Sach may be scum posing as a cultist. If we lynch crys and she flips cultist, we still don’t know about Sach. Did you read my whole claim? I think you said you missed it the first time so I’m wondering if you took in all the facets of my claim. A few points: (1) As Crys stated, there are 5 of us. Crys knows there are 5 of us. I know there are 5 of us. I presume the other 3 know there are five of us. If I’m lying, you will know sooner rather than later. (Sidenote: I have a unique designation. Crys is “Second” if I recall correctly. I haven’t yet revealed which cultist I am, but I could and then the others could tacitly confirm that I’m not claiming their role. I’m not sure if it is worth it. Will have to think more.) (2) While Crys posting her entire role PM precludes any PM handshaking between us, I did leave breadcrumbs that I was a cultist for other cultists to find. These breadcrumb predate Crys’s claim. I get that a certain degree of skepticism and paranoia is warranted, but please don’t confuse possible with probable. Please take into consideration the entire claiming episode and the circumstances of that claim. I’ll look up my breadcrumbs for you: From Night Zero: > [@Mafia Reunion - NIGHT ZERO](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mafia-reunion-night-zero/776315/199): > > Okay. Let’s get started: > \ > > 37 Townies sounds plausible. With 14 scum (with powers, mostly) running about, another 4 anti-town elements (or even neutral) is pushing the boundaries of what Town needs to do to win. It is my personal opinion that Third Parties add to the Lynch burden of the town. Since we can’t know whether a third party player has an exclusive or inclusive win condition, we have to Lynch third parties. (Sidenote: I’ve always wanted to keep third parties around and make scum deal with them, but that never works out. Once a Third Party is found, it is near impossible to get the Lynch to go to anyone else). I think once we were able to leave the Survivor role alone, but I don’t remember how she (I think it was dotchan) was able to convince us that she was no threat to any side. I knew the 37 number was wrong, but played along since I’m not supposed to know that the 37 number was wrong. I think I messed up and mentioned later that I didn’t think 37 meant number of Townies (oops). The discussion of previous Survivor roles was to get the attention of other cultists. “leave the Survivor role alone” refers to LUTHA meaning “leave us the hell alone”. “convince us that she was no threat to any side” was an allusion to the role PM’s wording, “You are no threat to any side. Good luck convincing them of this.” The second is from Day One: > [@Mafia Reunion - Day One](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mafia-reunion-day-one/776577/364): > > **Do you think I should see Rogue One on Martin Luther King Day?** Luther instead of LUTHA. Hee hee. Funny thing is, for a while I thought Johnny Bravo might have been a cultist because he said ‘hell’ in a post. But then a bunch of other people said ‘hell’ too and I thought, oh, maybe not. ---

> [@ToeJam](#): > > I think I’m still dying today, but probably Day killed rather than Lynched. > But jeez I don’t approve of the span of votes i collected in less than 100 posts. That’s why 2nd lynches are bad. Because it leads to people like Guiri using that as a reason to excuse their vote: > > Yeah, but WHY did you need to vote an unknown 2nd player? Just to utilize the 2nd lynch? That’s the thing people are forgetting. There are DayKillers out there. You may have 2-3 kills during the day, making it 3-4 by adding a 2nd lynch is NOT a good idea. Especially not when the justifications are as shitty as “well, he had a lot of votes day 1” or “Well, he’s active now, but he wasn’t on day 1 so lets lynch the lurker”… like you **Nestea**.Do you really think “well I’m not caught up but I’m going to vote” is useful? > > And **Mhaye** , I’m not going to claim at 10 votes (when you first asked), nor at 14 votes. But it is interesting that you’re voting me and hinting/asking to get a claim out of me. Since when do you play like that, why not just wait until Day 3? Why did it need to happen in the last 12 hours of mafia, when many people are away and not even able to catch up? > -R > > All in all, it’s a rather sloppy day, but I’m pleased people are on the record at least for votes. > \*\*Brewha \*\*I do believe you are scummy. > **Satch/Chrys** , I still believe one of you needs to die (if not both), but I’m fine with a Vigging not a lynching for it. > **SunnyDaze**. You’ve done nothing to stop the FOS I had on you at the start of the game. > > **Guiri**. :shrug: I don’t have a read on you. Honestly, in my analysis for D2, I liked most of your posts and thoughts in my first read through to like page 12 or so. After that… less so. > **Idle** ’s vote on me- honestly, all of you guys claiming I’m lurking, how do you feel about Idle? I think he’s gone absent and he’s just never been back here. But it’s interesting that noone brings up his lurking behaviors, but I’m nearly lynched for my previous absence. ToeJam, why did you think you would be the DayKill? ---

She was one of the most active participants of D1, with multiple posts per page, until that incident. I know real life can intervene, but the timing was suspect. Were it not for that, I’d have gotten a fairly Town read from that WoW. That was the only hinky thing I noticed. Also, it looks like nothing about switches is revealed on death. Yay.

However, they can’t really risk that until they know they will be confirmed as non hostile. Also, the plan requires that a fellow member has already investigated Crys, which is unlikely. So toMorrow would be the earliest we could try this, although Crys may not survive that long. > > > > So leave this plan on the backburner for now. > > I think one mason claiming would be required to control the cultists - someone who can be trusted to be working in town’s best interest, without exposing the entire masonry. I’m not sure what you mean by “control the cultists”. For them to be working with town, they would just do the same as any vanilla townie, ie looking for scum and voting according to their own suspicions. I would definitely be against compelling them to all vote the same way, as dictated by another player (even if that other player is definitely town). ---

If they all claim later and say, “hey town, we want to help you win!” we can point to Day 2 and ask them why the hell they didn’t help us now. Okay, that makes sense - if **sachertorte** is revealed as a cultist then that confirms **Crys**. (I agree that it is extremely unlikely that scum were told of the cult and given their exact role) The cult has not yet been revealed as non-hostile, so I doubt that any other cultist would be willing to come forward yet. I suggest that the others all stay hidden for now. Eventually one of them will turn up dead, then we will better know what to do.
