Mafia: Simpletown

[Nanook_of_the_North_Shore]

@WF Tomba

OK, I’ve got what I hope is a solid contribution now.

Rather than try to evaluate the case against each player, which would have taken forever, I decided to analyze Day 1 voting patterns with an eye to how each vote and unvote helped and hurt other players. The particular formula I used I may reveal later.

The results of my analysis suggest that four players operated as a team on Day 1 to shift the voting away from fluiddruid and onto Menocchio:

fluiddruid
peekercpa
Nanook of the North Shore
zuma (or if not him then MadTheSwine)

I suspect all our Mafia are in this list. In light of this, I would like to shift my vote to a player whose scumminess I am more sure of, but at this point all I would be doing is possibly saving MadTheSwine and hanging pedescribe, of whom I have no suspicions. So I’ll leave my vote where it is.

I was in the middle of responding to this when I saw Mad’s claim on preview. I don’t think I have time to fully go into now, since the day ends in like a minute, so I’ll just say that your logic is flawed as hell. My first post Tomorrow will go over it in more detail.

Well, sorry for giving you such a hard time about Detective strategy, dude.

MTS, there is no town reason to claim so late. A claim two, three hours ahead, even ONE hour ahead of time will allow us to reason our way to a new candidate. A late-claim like this will end with a suprise lynch and an “Oops, sorry”.
It is very scummy to prevent people from reasoning, wether by time or by attacks, and you’ve done both. My vote stands.

@MadTheSwine

Well I’m dead anyway,guess it don’t really matter. Just hoping pedescribe is scum so i don’t go out in complete failure.

Not necessarily dead. I THINK, but am not sure, that I forced a tie at least.

Trying not to claim to leave us wide open was the reason.

Really??? Your vote stands???Golly.

I meant dead tonight if not today.

@MadTheSwine

I meant dead tonight if not today.

Oh almost certainly. Unless you’re lying of course, in which case we get to play the lovely home game version of WIFOM.

[Nanook_of_the_North_Shore]

Sach needs to get in here already, I’m dying from the suspense. I’m sitting here at work and hitting refresh every minute and it’s killing me.

[Ice_Cream_Man]

Yeah, I just got home and I’m refreshing every 20 seconds!

[Blaster_Master]

Just have to say… Mad, I saw that coming, I just wish you had done it earlier in the Day…

[NAF1138]

Wow, so…what happens when there is a tie in this game? (The Day did end with a tie right?)

Random lynch

[ShadowFacts]

@Ice Cream Man

Random lynch

More fully:

@sachertorte

Ties will be resolved by random lynch of the tied vote-getters.

[sachertorte]

Grrr.

From the Rules:

Ties are bad. Don’t do them.

I hate ties because it hinges the outcome on a random event. This makes me sad, so I will make you suffer and wait. (No actually I had a dentist appointment that took for freaking forever… And a tie… Now I have to recount all the votes to make sure there isn’t a mistake. So hold on a bit longer:

preliminary result:
1 - Blaster Master (peekercpa)
5 - pedescribe (NAF1138, Ice Cream Man, fluiddruid, MadTheSwine, Nanook of the North Shore)
5 - MadTheSwine (WF Tomba, Sitnam, ShadowFacts, bufftabby, pedescribe)
2 - fluiddruid (Blaster Master, Mind Wanderer)

More soon.

[sachertorte]

I should have trusted my anal-retentiveness. The preliminary result is correct.

Final Day Two vote count:
1 - Blaster Master (peekercpa)
5 - pedescribe (NAF1138, Ice Cream Man, fluiddruid, MadTheSwine, Nanook of the North Shore)
5 - MadTheSwine (WF Tomba, Sitnam, ShadowFacts, bufftabby, pedescribe)
2 - fluiddruid (Blaster Master, Mind Wanderer)

A flip of a coin yields the result that MadTheSwine must die. pedescribe escapes death, for now (though if he doesn’t get a full account soon, there might be hell to pay when his account expires).

MadTheSwine, the Lead Assassin is dead.

[Blaster_Master]

Wow… I guess that explains that. Looks like I have some re-evaluating to do.

[MadTheSwine]

Darn

[Sitnam]

Well I feel vindicated.

[Nanook_of_the_North_Shore]

Guess I should have stuck with my intial instinct then. Glad the dice role went our way. Go town!

What’s a lead assassin? Is that just a fancy name for scum? Maybe a Godfather type?
