Mafia V: The Cult of Sekham

[NAF1138]

So I am thinking of not poking you all with sticks for the rest of the Day, it’s my birthday and life is too short.

But I do plan on talking about non game related subjects.

We have 10 slots left in the sign up for Firefly Mafia on Idle’s board.

Could someone post a link in the forbidden thread for me?

Thanks much.

@Kyrie Eleison

Which may well explain why you unexpectedly woke up. NAF1138, according to you, is an unbeliever, and so not the Prophet. If it’s just NAF, the Prophet and the recruit left, your investigations may not threaten the cult any longer. The best outcome would be that NAF turns out to be a recruited non-believer, but that seems unlikely.

Just about the only help I can be now is to split the uninvestigated players into Believer / Nonbeliever groups, so we’d know (for example) what set of players the Prophet is in.

I agree with you that Hockey Monkey was the most obvious choice for a recruit on night six. If the cult were to have recruited that night, would they really have picked her, the most obvious choice? WIFOM, there, I know, but there was one other recruitable person who had claimed by night 6: Queuing. Perhaps the cult did believe his claim.

The Cult certainly know whether Queueing was/is on their side or not. A claim of vanilla Citizen isn’t any particular claim at all really. Queueing is still quite high on my suspect list.

I have no idea why the cult might have recruited that night, though. Here is the final vote tally from day 6: It doesn’t seem that any of those in our current pool of candidates for Prophet were in much danger – I am the only one who even appears on the tally, and with only one of nineteen votes.

Very true. However, we now know that the most active player in promoting the theory that the Cult recruited because we came too close to the Prophet was a Cultist.

The only other no-kill night was night nine. However, our disciple seemed pretty convinced that there was no recruit that night:
I think he used his protect-two-people deal that night, and that this is an expression of her enhanced confidence that her protection was effective that night. However, that doesn’t mean that the cult didn’t elect to recruit someone other than the two she chose to protect, though.[sup]1[/sup]

By Night 9 the nonconvertible players had been flushed out. There is no way that CatinaSuit can be sure that the player(s) he protected were the Cult’s target. Consequently I’m not convinced we can afford to assume that the Cult’s action Night 9 was blocked.

This I don’t understand. Pygmy’s elided and restored message implicated NAF1138 strongly. Are you thinking that the entire incident might have been staged?

No. I just want to make sure that we’re not overlooking something that might indicate NAF is innocent. If I had to vote right now it would be for NAF.

Tries reading again.

[sup]1[/sup] I’ve amended the quote to take up the correction you made in your EBWOP post.

Happy Birthday.

THANKS!

I was hoping that my office would close early today (what with Monday being a holiday and all) but it looks like I am going to be here till 5.

Ah well.

Anyone want to join me in dunking Top Dog?

[FlyingCowOfDoom]

Happy Birthday, NAF.

Sorry, we’re still going to kill you.

Little ol me?

Why?

You guys seriously believe Pygmy?

[MHaye]

I’ve reread.

Pygmy Rugger’s slip strongly implicates NAF1138 the birthday boy. The way it is phrased and (more importantly) the immediate edit does not fit the hypothesis that PR was setting us up by smearing a Town-aligned nonbeliever.

I went looking for solid evidence that NAF was a Townie. Something that could support a case for the defence and allow a “devil’s advocate” - testing the general belief that NAF is scum based on ]b]PR**'s slip.

I didn’t find anything like that.

What I did find was [post=8932213]3912[/post]. In this post, NAF argues that :-

For what it is worth, I feel we can probably afford the mislynch now. The cult went after Catina which makes me think that they are trying to clear the way for unrestricted night kills.

This is wrong. If the game is in a LyLo state, then the only way for the Town to get out of that state is for the Doctor type role(s) to successfully block a two kills. The Cult successfully killing the Disciple ensured the Town could not recover from LyLo.

Pleonast’s Martyr role probably could not help as it would just replace one death with another (at least that was my reading of the role, without knowing exactly what powers his role had).

I think that’s enough for me to support this execution.

Vote NAF1138.

Have a good birthday anyway.

Is anyone else going to be around over the weekend? We were going to go camping, but now we’re going to clean house instead. Wooo So I’m sure I’ll be checking the boards and avoiding the state of our carpet, if anyone would like to ponder our post-NAF moves.

[MHaye]

I’ll be here - seeing as Monday isn’t a holiday over here (that was last Monday). I have some things to do but they should be done before you’ve had breakfast.

[USCDiver]

I’m working 5p-2a again this weekend, so I’ll be around late at night and during the afternoon. Plus, if it’s slow, occasionally I’ll take a peak while working, but no substantive posting during those times. I’m going to hold off on placing my vote for NAF1138 to let those who are away for the weekend avoid the 12 hour clock.

[Kyrie_Eleison]

I’m about to leave for Vermont for a weekend of poker and golf with some friends. I’ll have net access, but I suspect that I’ll have limited attention (and perhaps sobriety) to spend on this game. Although I should return home before today’s deadline, I’ll leave my vote standing just in case I’m delayed.

[Queuing]

I will be checking in occasionally over the weekend. My long weekend is going to mostly involve painting with a little cleaning thrown in for good measure. So while I will have time to keep up to date I will not have time to do any sort of in-depth looking at anyone or answering any accusations.

I am assuming we are holding off on voting until later? I will be voting NAF.

[MHaye]

The current unofficial vote count :

NAF1138 2 : Kyrie Eleison, MHaye
Top Dog 1 : NAF1138.

[USCDiver]

@Queuing

I am assuming we are holding off on voting until later? I will be voting NAF.

I think that would be best. At this point, with 7 players it only takes 4 votes to start the countdown. The Day is scheduled to end at 1:30p on Monday. So we can place our votes late Sunday/early Monday. The only downside is that we’re not going to have many substantive posts Today to help find the remaining Cultist(s).

[Idle_Thoughts]

Now just 1000 posts plus to beat the top record.

[MHaye]

It probably doesn’t have that much steam left.

[USCDiver]

Well, I think we can get some good post-game discussion and analysis for this game since there were so many twists and turns. Maybe we can get it up to 4500

[ComeToTheDarkSideWeHaveCookies]

It is too fscking hot to read…

[Idle_Thoughts]

One more post (after this one) needed for post number 4040.

[USCDiver]

vote NAF1138
