Mafia V: The Cult of Sekham

Like others have already suggested: Since we’re likely to get at least one more investigation, I wonder if it would be helpful for the Monks to all come forward. It would narrow the pool of potential investigation targets. Does it really make it easier for the Cultists? I don’t think killing a Monk would help them much more than killing a Vanilla Believer…

Well, it would, because the town won’t lynch a monk. But if, by “vanilla believer”, you meant “unknown at this point”, I’d say yes, it’s a coin toss.

I see your point now, but I am advocating that they come forward before they get strapped to the dunk chair. I’m not sure if this is what you meant. That way we can concentrate on the smaller pool of potential cultists. Plus if they come forward today, **Mhaye ** will know not to investigate them tonight, thereby narrowing our pool further. Sure it increases the number of potential victims tonight by the Cultists, but you know what…they are going to kill one of us anyway!

I totally agree. :wink:

Oh sure, for the first time in three days I say I’m not going to vote for Diggit because I’m not getting any agreement from anyone else, and rather will wait for a bit and see what develops, and I come home from the beach to find that this is what develops? Now I can’t vote for Diggit without setting off the timer. You all suck! :stuck_out_tongue:

Yes. I know the individual chance for an individual investigation remains the same, regardless of the outcome of other individual investigations.

Nonetheless, like you said, there’s an overall chance of 5 consecutive successful investigations of 17% (just about). The universe of your possible investigations is far too small to actually make this number significant at all, which is why I have (repeatedly) said that it is far more than normal for you all to vote against me.

Still: I know I’m a Believer. And that means that your first investigation went wrong.

Which is, when we look at your first three investigations, the likelier result (over long periods).

And that would harm us how?

If Pleonast is “the Martyr”, his activation could actually be benefited by being targeted toNight. It could be “when the Martyr gets killed at Night, one of his killers (selected randomly) gets killed as well”, couldn’t it?

And even if it isn’t, it buys the Apprentice one more Night. And during that Night, a new investigation. Anyhow, the Disciple could vary her Defense, as well, choosing to do a 50% defense on the first Night (since the Martyr could and should be aiding her efforts).

The beauty is, of course, that by now the Cultists can’t really afford to let the Apprentice live too many Nights…

Back!

Time to catch up.

Majorly, majorly catch up.

I think a Monk would let us know before getting dunked…

–FCOD

Yeah, and I doubt Zeriel would keep out of the discussion.

The advantage would lie in maximizing the Apprentice’s investigations.

Selfishly? Need I remind you that I helped dunk scum before and was even a deciding factor vote then? I had my vote on Mal and switched it to Kat based on her inconsistency and what I saw as slip ups. And whaddya know? Paydirt.

Now I see the rest of your post here and I see you’re thinking that what it is is that Mal was the Prophet that I was “protecting”?

Wild paranoia is right. But it’s amusing if nothing else.
Lets go over the possibilities and attribute it to your logic in voting for me as it seems (because I, frankly, don’t know of any other reason it could be), shall we? Kat = known scum now.

  1. Me = town, Mal = town…in which case, you’re wrong about me.
  2. Me = town, Mal = cult…in which case, you’re wrong about me (although will probably still think I’m cult if he just happens to really BE the prophet).
  3. Me = cult, Mal = town…in which case, I would KNOW he was town and Kat was cult, wouldn’t I? Why would I unvote him when it was all of him being dunked then? Surely it wouldn’t matter? And I know you’ll probably say “but then again, you could also be voting for fellow scum to look really good, especially since you cast the deciding vote”, but the thing is, I didn’t do that. Will you or anyone else believe me? Probably not. But in any case, time will tell.
  4. Me = cult, Mal = cult…in which case, why would it matter who I voted for? Either way, I’d know a cultist was going down. You seem to think that if it’s this one that Mal is the prophet. Well, fine, I’ll help you tooth and nail the next Day if you and I both survive the Night (and this Day too) to go after him (who is now CS it appears, welcome to you. Sorry the welcome includes a “I’ll be majorily suspicious of you” with it, but that’s what people face when they sub it. : p) S/he’s as high on my suspicion list as the only other person is (Diggit).

And I see now you’ve unvoted me. Oh well. I’m still going to post this so you may read it.

And he wonders why I’m still voting for him. :smack:

Also, doesn’t the recruit read as believer, even if converted? I’m not saying Night Seven was a convert or not but if it was, there might be another out there who will have the power of investigating as believer behind them.

Hi, so…sorry I haven’t been able to post or really read the game yet today. I will continue to not sub out as I really do think things are looking up work load wise. I am just sorry for my lack of participation the last couple of Days.

So I have only skimmed what has happened in the last 24 hours, but it seems that MHaye has claimed apprentice, and Diggit is going to dunk. Anyone want to recap why Diggit will dunk for me, I seem to have missed that. I PROMISE I will find a way to post more and place a vote before the Day ends tomorrow evening. But this is the last time I can post today.

Again, my apologies.

vote: Diggit

Regarding Queuing, I choose not to make the same mistakes I did in M2. There are bigger fish to fry. If nothing else I’ll keep an eye on him.

**Diggit ** is being dunked because **MHaye ** has noted he is a non-believer and we haven’t a better option for dunking people atm.

Simple: the Apprentice says I’m a Non-Believer; all the rest of his reads are of Believers.

Isn’t that the 9th vote?

Is it? Sorry…

unvote: Diggit

By my count it is… we should have a 12 hour countdown now…

Nevermind

Yes it could be. I was going on what the role description that was posted earlier suggested which was that the martyr basically protects someone one night and if that person is killed they take the hit for them. It said nothing about what would happen if the martyr themselves was night killed so I assumed nothing would happen, they would just die. Pure speculation of course that will not be answered until the game is over.
