Be Excellent To Each Other

Aye carumba! We're getting low on people!

Should probably try to lynch the Mafia this time.

[playerlist]
zaphod79
Gazchap
Saturnalian
Malc
TheFireFaerie
[/playerlist]

5 left.

3 for a vote.

Deadline midday Thursday.

I must have been dosed with a sedative overnight, I overslept a bit this morning and stumbled into my bedside table when I got out of bed.

Zaphod is a confirmed goodie, I'm a goodie, so that leaves Malc, Saturnalian and TheFireFaerie.

One of those is the Mafia roleblocker, who sneakily slipped me a sedative last night.

A 1 in 3 chance of getting the right one. But who to pick?

I know I am a goodie, I am most weary of you and saturnalian just going by hunches, however, who voted for joans?

Not I.

I think we need to expand on the analysis of the votes and assign points to it.

I will try and do that later.

Also, there must still be a poisoner around as GJ died, so it looks like there are 2 mafia left.

Best not to vote anyoneone yet as if they jump on that bandwagon they win.

Malc

2 mafia left and someone is dead already so the town needs 2 correct choices but its going to be very close

joans: 4 (Goddess Jasmine, TheFireFaerie, zaphod79, GazChap)

GJ is dead, zaphod is good

leaving TFF and Gazchap.

Because of my hunch, I'd rather go for Gazchap than TFF.

Malc

It would be reasonably safe to assume that someone was poisoned last night too, then.

If you vote for me to be lynched, then that's another townie down - and unless it was me that was targeted for poisoning, you're going to lose another townie to the poison and the Mafia will win by majority.

Vote carefully, folks.

Hunches are really all we have to go on, since our investigative roles were lost early on.

Ah, if someone is both poisoned and sedated then neither will work - so I wasn't poisoned last night.

So, assuming that someone else was, we pretty much need to root out one of the Mafia today in order to stand a chance of winning.

Given that we know now that GJ was good, and zaphod is good, that's no the best analysis, as at least half of the votes for Joans were by good guys. And it's actually at least 3, because I know I'm good too.

So that leaves you, GazChap and Sat for me to consider. Really don't know at this point what to do.

Which means you were blocked, I suppose.

And yes I'll assume one of us has been poisoned to be dead the end of today, so either way there's only two town left tomorrow, even if we can find one of the mafia to lynch. 2/2 if we don't, 2/1 if we do.

This is definitely a tread carefully day...

New Theory Tff is the poisoner and GC is the blocker.

Malc

joans: 4 (Goddess Jasmine, TheFireFaerie, zaphod79, GazChap)

I've been racking my face-hole and I can't come to any opinion other than there are Mafia in this list. There absolutely must be. Definitely one. Possibly two.

It's a toss up of TheFireFaerie and GazChap.

Of course, if it turns out that all Town voted for Joans then you four are to blame for losing this!

I've going to literally toss a coin and choose who to vote for: TheFireFaerie (tails) and GazChap (heads).

GazChap it is.

So let's get this over with [vote: GazChap]

You bloody fool.

Care to explain where that came from?

Gazchap seems to be trying to say vote for him and not you.

Malc

Unless you're mafia, of course, in which case you can't rely on a swift block vote to knock me off and win the game until someone else votes for me.

I reckon you're just trying to start things off, then.

[vote:Saturnalian]

???

How'd you figure that?

You also mentioned a paper thin reason for voting for joans, which I think is a reference to something that I don't get.

Add that to you belm thing before, I think you are a baddie, and I think you'd rather I vote for you rather than TFF.

Malc

It's all just a hunch

Malc

You're reading far too much into my words there, Malc.

I definitely don't want anyone to vote for me. The fact that the Mafia haven't already jumped on to Saturnalian's vote suggests to me that he's Mafia, and is waiting for one more good guy to jump on and then they'll finish me off and win the game.

The logic behind that being that there are apparently two Mafia remaining, and if I was blocked then I can't have also been poisoned, so another townie is also poisoned.

If I get voted off, that means we lose two townies today, giving the Mafia an easy win.

As to who the Mafia are, I'm going to go with Saturnalian and TFF.

Put your money where your mouth is then - like I have, literally. No, not literally. I did use money though.

My hunch also says GazChap too (as well as the coinage) so I'm prepared to stake my rep on it and I don't think we have anything else to go on despite my best efforts to get people nattering away. Although, obviously this day has.

Ok what is going on here?!

Malc - I think you're really pulling things out of thin air actually, and suggesting that someone would WANT you to vote for them is a bit nuts!

So on that basis, and that I don't really think Gaz or Sat are as dodgy as you are (you've made some serious belms the last few days and I was already pointing a bit of a FOS at you] [vote:Malc]

That coin toss should have been videoed for maximum trustworthiness You've highlighted TFF as a potential but then deliberately taken the heat off her by having your coin come up for me instead.

Er, I agreed with everything that you just said earlier on.

I know I'm good, I have a feeling you are so I'm not voting for you. I'm not sure about Sat, Zap is confirmed goody, so Malc is my logical conclusion. Sticking to that vote.

Hah! Fair play.

I'll do it again then shall I? Hang on...

I suspect you wouldn't have been quite so keen to agree with me if I'd fingered you in that post.

I've made serious blems?

The only one I can see is that I thought roles were private.

Gaz has made more of the belm.

And now his latest theory is that saturn must be a mafia because no one else is voting for him, well no one else is voting for Gazchap either.

[vote:gazchap]

I may be wrong and if I am, I'm sorry.

Malc

Goddamnit, Malc.

[vote: unvote]

All I wanted to see was whether someone would pile on.

That person was Malc.

Hmm. Tricky.

Are you unvoting because you're genuinely a good guy, or because you're just trying to discredit my theory?

If the former that would make TFF and Malc the bad guys.

If gazchap was townie, then the mafia would be jumping on him right now (unless myself and saturnalian are mafia, which I know I'm not)

I think that adds up (to me at least as I'm the only one that knows I'm good) to me being right about GC an TFF

Malc

It's not a pile on, I have named 2 suspects, someone voted for one of them, and then my two suspects tried to turn it round on me, so I voted for that one too.

I will also [vote:unvote]

Malc

Right. I'm good, and I don't know if GC is, so I'd like to disprove your theory. Even if I'm still suss of you...

[vote:Gazchap]

I've not once said I suspect you of anything, Malc. So I've not tried to turn anything around on you.

[vote:Malc]

For the reasons above [vote: malc]

[vote:Malc]

Fuck. There's a certain irony there, isn't there?

malc: 3 (GazChap, TheFireFaerie, Saturnalian)

Not voted: 2 (zaphod79, malc)

With 5 players alive, 3 votes are required for a lynch, and 3 nolynch votes are required to not lynch anybody.

Malc is lynched, and as everyone knows, he's a townie.

TheFireFaerie and Saturnalian laugh their asses off, and kill GazChap, who called them both as Mafia, before voting for someone else entirely.

Zaphod was poisoned, and explodes.

TEAM MAFIA WIN!

Unlocked!

This had me nearly fall off my chair.

I totally should have seen the switcheroo coming.

I've been far too y this entire game.

Not really - when, in any mafia game ever, would the mafia decide not to take the win and instead make it a little bit more difficult for themselves?! I'm going to be generous and call it clever underhand tactics

Finishing with a flourish, if you will.

Thanks curio for running the game and giving me a role so ridiculous no-one would believe it in a role claim!
