I'm new to playing mafia, but I am good at mysteries. Hopefully we don't get taken down right away. Want to play the first cycle kind of low key, or do you want to get out there? Since if one of us dies we both die, I think we need to be on the same page

I guess it's best to stay low key for now, just fly under the radar. I have no idea what other roles/jobs there are though and how we need to prepare, but it's best not to draw attention to ourselves. Since we have no special powers there's not really anything we can do anyway.

Happy new year! I agree no lynch first day. Since the assumption is that the mafia already know a lot of their number we are far more likely to kill a tourist. That being said, If more than one person got "nominated" and others quickly deflected it may reveal that they are a mafia pair (kind of like us)

Ok so the first kill has occurred. They killed off our veto character, my thoughts are that either they have some sort of ability as a group to see one other person's job, or they got lucky in killing off a player with an ability. This is assuming that not everyone has an ability.
Barry wanted to slow the game down, he didn't want us to rush. This kind of makes me suspect the second no lynch person. Palmer cancelled his initial vote, even though he was the first to vote no lynch, if he was mafia I don't think he would have done that. Amir0x, nin1000 and pants are on my radar. Nin1000 was on Barry's radar too.
What do you think?

El Topo
01-12-2015

I agree mostly with you.
Amir0x is definitely on my radar as well. Technically all those that had this weird argument ("We'll know much more!") are (although I think some of them might just have a special role), but Amir0x behaved too suspiciously (and he's too smart for that). I guess traube is on my radar as well, but I can't quite put my finger on why, probably unfairly because he posted a lot. I'll have to carefully read through the thread, which I didn't have time for today, to come think about it.
That said, I think they got lucky with killing off the colonel. Even if they have someone that can tell them the jobs, doesn't change much for me as long as they can only kill one per round. I think they killed him off because he had a lot of experience with Mafia/Werewolf. I think we should keep a close eye on how people behave in comparison to the first round, e.g. if anything changes for Timeaisis, who named his suspects.
Edit:
Yeah, nin1000 could be a suspect as well. I think anyone open about potential suspects based on almost nothing should be a suspect for now. Given that nin1000 named Barry as a suspect, that puts him above Timeaisis on the list for me (for now). We'll see and will have to analyze the behaviour on how things develop with the voting this round.
I assume the mafia will try to not interact much with each other, maybe even "accuse" other mafia members, so they seem more innocent. We'll have to observe how things move on.

So what is our plan if we get targeted? We can't help the mafia taking us out, but what are our options if the rest of the tourists decide to kill us?
We should leave the "other person dies if you kill one of us" thing Out no matter what though
11
El Topo
01-12-2015
04:43 PM ET (US)
Good question.
If we get killed at night, there's nothing we can do about it.
We haven't shown any suspicious behaviour, so I doubt we'll be targeted soon. That said, if one of us is targeted, that person should try to reason with them, e.g. if someone would accuse one of us, that person/we could point out that there's absolutely no shred of evidence. The whole "I have a special job" should be our very last option, if they're about to lynch us.
Edit:
I seriously doubt we'll be a target soon though. Plenty of suspicious candidates even without us.
Edit 2:
QuantumBro seriously says the cop should reveal himself/herself? That's a...weird proposition. Not sure if I should draw attention to myself by pointing out how we would give up one of our greatest jobs that way.

You may want to post today some. I think that some votes will start to come in today.
stay dead would be on my radar, except he replaced Xpike. Unless Xpike could not play, I think he probably is just a normal.
I'm really nervous with pants, nin1000, foshy and timeasis. Not sure why really, except for pants and
Nin1000.
Pants has been tettering on no lynch, which I think doesn't benefit us this day. Starting to vote for people will make people defend themselves, and that can cause mafia people to screw up and may make us think harder about who is a tourist.
Nin1000, was gung-ho day0 and was very consistent. As soon as this was pointed out by Barry, Nin changed how often he posted. Nin never really defended against the accusation either, just kind of shrugged it off, which is a great deflection.
Nin1000 is the person I am most suspicious of, he seems to know what he is doing, and is stirring the pot in all the right spots. I'm tempted to vote nin1000 once someone votes for anything (just to stir that pot the other direction)

I'll post later. Still have to get some work done for another hour, after which I'll probably just call it a day.
Those you mentioned seemed suspicious to me as well. Then again, everyone active always seems suspicious. Nin1000 definitely seems suspicious though, but I'll have to think about it. Again, sorry, haven't had too much time today to really think about it, will do later.
14
El Topo
01-14-2015
03:49 PM ET (US)
Okay, I think for now I'm gonna rule out timeasis, if only because he listed you as "likely town". It's possible of course he's mafia and deliberately listed people he knows are tourists, s.t. he seems innocent (in which case it might be a good idea to lynch someone he considered suspicious). He made some other comments earlier that made me doubt him, but for now I'm willing to put him aside. Now nin1000 and pants also seem a bit fishy, but I'm wondering if maybe that's all just because they're active.
I mean if I was mafia, I'd try my very best to not draw *any* attention to me, because in this game, any attention is bad. I think we should maybe let others come forward with their suspicions and then, once we've lynched the first person, try to see what conclusions we can draw from that.
15
Zipped
01-14-2015
06:13 PM ET (US)
your reasoning for timeasis is pretty sound, I think for now we can keep him aside.
Pants and Nin go from really active to hardly active, which may help throw suspicion. I think if they get nominated and we see a lot of our suspicious people defend them it may give us some information.

Ok so traube going along and doing his own thing and voting no lynch...
I don't know, it seems like he is acting independantly of everyone. It's really weird, he doesn't/hasn't really had conversations with anyone. He just posts his reasoning and just does something. It's so weird.
Not "he is a fool character" weird, it's just weird.

Yeah, traube is weird. I'm not even sure if he is mafia or just like that, but he definitely stuck out to me before and especially now. I think it's possible he's just not that involved, doesn't have too many posts at GAF either.

01-16-2015

That makes sense with traube,
What do you think about egruntz and irfaanator? Everyone seems to be jumping on egruntz, and I think that either faction he is kind of playing sloppy based on outside activities. (His other threads indicate he has a lot on his mind right now). I can't bring that kind of stuff up in game but it could be a reason for his standoffish behavior.
Irfaanator though, he seems awfully suspicious. Problem is that his actions could easily be the actions of someone who WANTS to kill himself in the game. He would want to piss us off and kill him. It's working a lot of people want his head..
19
El Topo
01-16-2015
01:12 PM ET (US)
Phew, glad I finally have some time to enjoy this game again. I think egruntz is drawing way too much attention to himself, but given his other stuff I'm willing to let that slide. He made a few good points, even if he went way overboard in general. I think it's interesting how massive the reaction against him has been though and it's possible, he even says that if we lynch a townie we can still use the information from the discussion, that he's just trying to lure players out. For now I'm willing to say that he's no mafia.
I'm wondering about Palmer_v1 though. Some suspicious behaviour and some inconsistencies. He pretends to know very little (e.g. votes for three players), but on the other hand (post #266, post #221, post #381) he seems to have played the game before, maybe even quite often. Why would he screw up voting or was that some kind of "I'd vote for those" post? Assuming he is mafia, his lynching proposals (Irfaanator, Amir0x, egruntz) could indicate they're innocent. I can't really disagree with his reasons too much, although Amir0x seems to come out of nowhere (even if I agree).
Irfaanator? He got a pass from timeaisis, then accused him of being (potentially) mafia. Some other suspicious posts as well, could be anything.
I'm wondering though if the mafia does it like we do and stays away from each other in the thread. In that case it might be helpful - I might do that later - to analyze who has talked to whom/who has been quoted by whom. I'm probably going to sit back for another day to see how everyone reacts.
Edit:
Did Irfaanator and egruntz ever talk in the thread? You'd think throwing out accusations they would've inevitably mentioned each other.

I'll take a look at irfaanator and egruntz as well. With how active they are it's weird if they did not quote or talk to each other.
I'm thinking that palmer_v1 over thought the rules. He posted as such. He is definitely a person that could be suspicious, especially if someone he is "suspicious" of died and is a tourist.

After thinking about this, here are my guesses for deaths tonight. I bet the mafia will kill Palmer (if he isn't mafia)
Egruntz is probably safe if we don't kill him today.
the mafia may kill timeasis or johnnyquickknives as well. We are also an outside shot (either one of us really), but I think we are largely ok.
I am thinking that we (the tourists) won't lynch anyone today. What do you think?
23
El Topo
01-19-2015
03:28 AM ET (US)
If we don't lynch anyone today that would be a mistake. Not necessarily mathematically, but it's about as interesting as just lynching people randomly because statistically it might be best. I'm going to vote egruntz, if only because I think we can draw some conclusions from his death. Don't think he's really mafia actually, but I'm not gonna convince anyone (in time) to vote for someone else.
24
Zipped
01-19-2015
09:06 PM ET (US)
With egruntz being a tourist it answers some questions.
1). Not everyone has a power
2). It is very likely that the mafia used his outburst to turn the rest of us against him.
3). My bets for deaths tonight are Palmer, ultron, timeasis, or me (us). Maybe foshy or another player (especially if they tried to kill two last night and couldn't because of a tourists ability.
4). If we survive, based on who gets killed I think we should play against Time, Palmer or Amirox (especially Amirox if he comes back). They are very involved, jumped on egruntz after his posts, and are very influential.
25
El Topo
01-20-2015

I fear we're being played by the mafia. All they need to do is lean back and let us do the dirty work. We should probably target the less active/vocal players. I mean, if I was mafia, I would try to avoid all attention, which is probably what they are doing.
26
Zipped
01-20-2015
02:41 PM ET (US)
I think that is why I am most Leary if Amirox, was all gung-ho and then as soon as the first night ended. He went into low key mode. Almost as if someone told him to lay off.
Alternatively, they are having different mafia people take active roles on different days to try and keep everyone off all of them, but still allow them one or two members to "guide" the discussion to kill a tourist.
I almost want to start the next day with a vote, just to see what happens
27

That's the problem with a forum-based mafia game though. In real life you can look how everyone reacts, you can all discuss it and no one can really stay completely away from the game. I'm also thinking about starting the next day with a vote, if only so we tourists finally have the initiative.
I don't know, I need to think about it. I don't even think the mafia is all that involved. Why do something when the tourists kill each other?
28

Kalor seemed to be chomping at the bit to find the vigilante, he may be Mafia.
Theory, Quantum is Policeman, he didn't find out anything night one, so he didn't post much. On the last night he investigated Kalor last night and found out he was mafia. Then he compiled a bunch of posts to justify it and send us down this path.
I'l still leary of AmiRox and Palmer but Kalor seems like a good target.

02:39 PM ET (US)
I think there's three legitimate candidates that have a chance of "winning". Kalor, for the reasons you mentioned, johnnyquickknives who has been suspicious and very vocal, last but not least Amir0x.
I'm willing to give Amir0x the benefit of the doubt though, because I don't think he'd stoop so low and be deliberately inactive as a mafia, only to lie about it. That leaves Kalor and johnny and there I'm going to go with my guts and vote Kalor. Not sold on him.
A bit weird how calm Kalor is though. Is there a tourist role that wouldn't mind to get murdered?
Edit:
You know what? I'll vote for johnnyquickknives. He's been suspicious for a while, he was accused of egruntz. Same with Palmer_v1, who essentially started the whole "Let's vote Kalor" thing and was supported by Amir0x for no reason.

I missed the vote (completely spaced this morning after that first post).
Well it looks like we killed the vigilante, so we should only have one kill tonight, even though he was a tourist.
Since he was a tourist, I'm thinking that we have more direction on some people. We know we aren't mafia, but those other people may be.
If we get targetted, do we tell people about our two deaths for one deal? Not tell them who the other person is just that if they kill us they kill a second tourist. Opens up us to problems at night (that the doctor would have to save)

I think we should only come clean (or at least imply that we shouldn't be killed) as a very last resort.
As for who is mafia, I think we should focus on those inactive or "in the shadows". Or maybe we've just been unlucky and have gotten the two vocal players that happened to be tourists.

Yeah my current bets on cop/investigator is Palmer and QuantumBro.
Palmer, because as you said he tends to stick to certain people. He also has only added people to his suspicion list, the don't leave unless they die.
QuantumBro is on there because of his suspicions of kalor came out of the blue, and then he had that PM letter. That switch PM seems like something that occurs and then the cop gets informed that it occurs. As it's been said in thread it's possible that kalor and ward's deaths were switched. And if a vigilante killed ward but had aimed at Kalor...
I'm really tempted to drop a vote on kalor, him or irfaanator. I think those deaths we can learn from.

I do hope we don't die, I spearheaded the amir0x death so it's possible. Just want to get the ball moving on some mafia folks. I have a feeling they are 4-5 deep, and either a mafia don role (can kill once a night with no mafia input) or a town vigilante (can kill once a night without town/mafia input)

None of the normal group has showed up since the last kill, I'm guessing that one of the mafia kills got blocked and they are trying to cut losses on amir0x. If they don't come up to defend him or try to divert the lynch mob then we can't tie them together.

Ok with no deaths in a night could mean a lot.
1: the mafia decided not to kill anyone last night. The second killer also decided not to kill anyone.
2: one of the killers were blocked (by a role move similar to duress or by the doctor), the other killer decided not to kill anyone.
The only reason to not kill anyone (option 1) would be to throw suspicion on the role claimers from yesterday. By them not dieing, it throws some suspicion that they may not be those roles, and are in fact Lying and are mafia.
Option 2 is tougher to disprove and is probably what the role claimers are going to push for it. I'm going to ask if anyone wants to share their actions and role information.

I agree, I posted some theory crafting in the thread.
Personally, my favorite one is the last one, that the mafia has a role that can only be killed by lynching. This would make the game more dramatic, and helps keep the "win condition" with the town (as opposed to a town vigilante getting lucky twice).
It's also possible that neither the second killer or the mafia targetted anyone. Or that the second killer didn't target anyone and the other got blocked (or vice versa).
Lots of different ways to end up without a kill at night, just really frustrating

Did RobotNinjaHornets ever post something useful? He seems to be the (living) player with the least posts and unlike others I honestly can't remember him saying anything important. I don't know, pretty suspicious to me, either in a good way (cop) or bad way (mafia). Same seems true for Rembrandt and maybe AbsolutBro.
I'll go through their posts to analyze their behavior.
Edit:
His posts are utterly pointless. No hints, no nothing. Mafia.

Don't think he gave us an actual name, but he said he can tell if someone got targeted. I'll demand in-detail information the next day though, I'm still not completely sold, but I haven't paid much attention to the whole "Who switched who" business. I mean all we know is that he targeted Palmer, not whether he is mafia or not.
I'm getting feelings about Palmer though, although it's possible he can be ruled out already. Some of his suspects were tourists, he accused me earlier and then instantly let go when I defended myself, this time he simply voted without any comment.
Oh well, after today I'll hold back I guess.

So with nin1000 being tourist,
I am pretty convinced that traube may be a "bulletproof" mafia person, if Karkador says he did NOT save himself 2 nights ago I think that is the likely action.
Other potential mafia are robotnninjahornets, lords of castemere and Rembrandt, maybe throwing in kingkitty or pants. All six of these people are on my list. But I think we are finally at a place where we can make an educated guess.

Going over ultron's posts, I'm not entirely sure if he is really the cop. He also got rid of Lords of Castamere by pointing out his lies, but that could've just been part of a plan. What if LoC never got annoyed, but instead they sacrificed him to make ultron87 (or someone else) seem more trustworthy?
Okay, I'm overthinking this. It's still weird. How would he know I'm part of a group? I don't doubt his ability to know whether someone was targeted.

You know the more I think about it he has been completely consistent. He hasn't missed a beat.
However maybe his job has a bit more to it than we think... Maybe on the first visit you can pick whether you get role or who targets and then second time you get the other.
It would be a reason why he redacted some of his posts, and it also would be a good reason why he goes back to others.

I don't know either, I think we have largely been spared from karkador because he liked to kill the people that we almost vote for and then don't. Thinking that the mafia saved them.
As far as the mafia not killing us? I think the day I called pants out was probably our closest chance to death. They probably have chose to look at us in the past and since we don't target they think we are just regular tourists.
I'll back your play today. Unless our names start getting floated for lynching I think we don't reveal. Mans we reveal right at the end and post our message board. Complete reveal to everyone. It confirms in the only concrete way that we are town. Opens us up for death but it will help other identify who to target.
If we survive another night we need to kill karkador. Too much of a liability.

Any idea who we should vote for? RNH's list is very convenient (formerly redacted names dead), but accusing traube seems weird.

Karkie is useful, but he's playing us. He's withholding the supposed name of his victim so we don't lynch him. I'm almost willing to go with traube actually.

Crazy theory: Palmer and ultron87 are mafia. LoC goes "crazy" so that ultron can expose him, both he and Palmer were the first "on the scene" and voted for him. Palmer is obviously lying about his role, has he given us useful information? Why didn't ultron get offed, even if he's such a prominent tourist.

If traube ends up being unkillable I will flip because I called it seems ago.
I'm thinking if mafia kills anyone it will be traube (Assumjng he is not lying about his role), one of us (either really, you have a great track record and I'm in probably too many conversations), or Palmer (just because they don't know what his real role is)
Who do you have a feeling about tomorrow? If the kill traube and he isn't lying I say we either go hard at tomaksatnav. After him it would be palmer then time. If they don't kill traube, It would not surprise me to see kingkitty and absolutbro be mafia too

If Palmer or traube are not mafia, they're doing us a disservice with all their shenanigans. The problem is that all this diverts our attention from those that do little (e.g. tomaksatnav) or those that I don't trust at all (Timeaisis).

It does through more shade on traube though. I Can jump on killing traube, or tomaksatnav. Either one is a good kill, if traube is true, then we prove that only Palmer and tomaksatnav could be mafia left. If traube is mafia, we get closer.

Ok so if traube is mafia, it is likely that at least one of absolutbro and kingkitty are mafia.
If traube is his role then the only two people left are Palmer, and tomaksatnav to be mafia.
Tomaksatnav would make sense, the mafia only seemed to come out of the woodwork when they had too. Letting us kill each other as we needed.
Palmer, on the other hand, would be a really long con. I'm unconvinced that he is a sleepwalker. Having two makes it interesting. But unlikely.
Either way I want to hear what traube says. Maybe he will fuck up. maybe he will say he investigated one of us (good or bad). If he says either are mafia, we can reveal our role (but sadly not the board) and confirm that we are townies as best as possible. Lynching him.
Still have no clue how this could play out, but these next two votes are critical. If there are two or three mafia left and we don't get one today, we are fucked if we lose two+ people

If we kill traube, and he is town then we know 5 of the last seven players are town.
If he is mafia, that leaves 3 of the last seven as garaunteed townies. But that only helps others if we reveal.
If traube reveals anyone else is town, other than us, I think we come clean. Kill traube (to confirm his role), then outline that if traube is town, the last mafia person has to be the last character (1 more mafia optimal solution).
Everything else he says can make stuff hazy. We have really got to think about this

I'm new to playing mafia, but I am good at mysteries. Hopefully we don't get taken down right away. Want to play the first cycle kind of low key, or do you want to get out there? Since if one of us dies we both die, I think we need to be on the same page

I guess it's best to stay low key for now, just fly under the radar. I have no idea what other roles/jobs there are though and how we need to prepare, but it's best not to draw attention to ourselves. Since we have no special powers there's not really anything we can do anyway.

Happy new year! I agree no lynch first day. Since the assumption is that the mafia already know a lot of their number we are far more likely to kill a tourist. That being said, If more than one person got "nominated" and others quickly deflected it may reveal that they are a mafia pair (kind of like us)

Ok so the first kill has occurred. They killed off our veto character, my thoughts are that either they have some sort of ability as a group to see one other person's job, or they got lucky in killing off a player with an ability. This is assuming that not everyone has an ability.
Barry wanted to slow the game down, he didn't want us to rush. This kind of makes me suspect the second no lynch person. Palmer cancelled his initial vote, even though he was the first to vote no lynch, if he was mafia I don't think he would have done that. Amir0x, nin1000 and pants are on my radar. Nin1000 was on Barry's radar too.
What do you think?
9
El Topo
01-12-2015
02:56 PM ET (US)
I agree mostly with you.
Amir0x is definitely on my radar as well. Technically all those that had this weird argument ("We'll know much more!") are (although I think some of them might just have a special role), but Amir0x behaved too suspiciously (and he's too smart for that). I guess traube is on my radar as well, but I can't quite put my finger on why, probably unfairly because he posted a lot. I'll have to carefully read through the thread, which I didn't have time for today, to come think about it.
That said, I think they got lucky with killing off the colonel. Even if they have someone that can tell them the jobs, doesn't change much for me as long as they can only kill one per round. I think they killed him off because he had a lot of experience with Mafia/Werewolf. I think we should keep a close eye on how people behave in comparison to the first round, e.g. if anything changes for Timeaisis, who named his suspects.
Edit:
Yeah, nin1000 could be a suspect as well. I think anyone open about potential suspects based on almost nothing should be a suspect for now. Given that nin1000 named Barry as a suspect, that puts him above Timeaisis on the list for me (for now). We'll see and will have to analyze the behaviour on how things develop with the voting this round.
I assume the mafia will try to not interact much with each other, maybe even "accuse" other mafia members, so they seem more innocent. We'll have to observe how things move on.

So what is our plan if we get targeted? We can't help the mafia taking us out, but what are our options if the rest of the tourists decide to kill us?
We should leave the "other person dies if you kill one of us" thing Out no matter what though
11
El Topo
01-12-2015
04:43 PM ET (US)
Good question.
If we get killed at night, there's nothing we can do about it.
We haven't shown any suspicious behaviour, so I doubt we'll be targeted soon. That said, if one of us is targeted, that person should try to reason with them, e.g. if someone would accuse one of us, that person/we could point out that there's absolutely no shred of evidence. The whole "I have a special job" should be our very last option, if they're about to lynch us.
Edit:
I seriously doubt we'll be a target soon though. Plenty of suspicious candidates even without us.
Edit 2:
QuantumBro seriously says the cop should reveal himself/herself? That's a...weird proposition. Not sure if I should draw attention to myself by pointing out how we would give up one of our greatest jobs that way.

You may want to post today some. I think that some votes will start to come in today.
stay dead would be on my radar, except he replaced Xpike. Unless Xpike could not play, I think he probably is just a normal.
I'm really nervous with pants, nin1000, foshy and timeasis. Not sure why really, except for pants and
Nin1000.
Pants has been tettering on no lynch, which I think doesn't benefit us this day. Starting to vote for people will make people defend themselves, and that can cause mafia people to screw up and may make us think harder about who is a tourist.
Nin1000, was gung-ho day0 and was very consistent. As soon as this was pointed out by Barry, Nin changed how often he posted. Nin never really defended against the accusation either, just kind of shrugged it off, which is a great deflection.
Nin1000 is the person I am most suspicious of, he seems to know what he is doing, and is stirring the pot in all the right spots. I'm tempted to vote nin1000 once someone votes for anything (just to stir that pot the other direction)

I'll post later. Still have to get some work done for another hour, after which I'll probably just call it a day.
Those you mentioned seemed suspicious to me as well. Then again, everyone active always seems suspicious. Nin1000 definitely seems suspicious though, but I'll have to think about it. Again, sorry, haven't had too much time today to really think about it, will do later.
14
El Topo
01-14-2015
03:49 PM ET (US)
Okay, I think for now I'm gonna rule out timeasis, if only because he listed you as "likely town". It's possible of course he's mafia and deliberately listed people he knows are tourists, s.t. he seems innocent (in which case it might be a good idea to lynch someone he considered suspicious). He made some other comments earlier that made me doubt him, but for now I'm willing to put him aside. Now nin1000 and pants also seem a bit fishy, but I'm wondering if maybe that's all just because they're active.
I mean if I was mafia, I'd try my very best to not draw *any* attention to me, because in this game, any attention is bad. I think we should maybe let others come forward with their suspicions and then, once we've lynched the first person, try to see what conclusions we can draw from that.
15
Zipped
01-14-2015
06:13 PM ET (US)
your reasoning for timeasis is pretty sound, I think for now we can keep him aside.
Pants and Nin go from really active to hardly active, which may help throw suspicion. I think if they get nominated and we see a lot of our suspicious people defend them it may give us some information.

That makes sense with traube,
What do you think about egruntz and irfaanator? Everyone seems to be jumping on egruntz, and I think that either faction he is kind of playing sloppy based on outside activities. (His other threads indicate he has a lot on his mind right now). I can't bring that kind of stuff up in game but it could be a reason for his standoffish behavior.
Irfaanator though, he seems awfully suspicious. Problem is that his actions could easily be the actions of someone who WANTS to kill himself in the game. He would want to piss us off and kill him. It's working a lot of people want his head..
19
El Topo
01-16-2015
01:12 PM ET (US)
Phew, glad I finally have some time to enjoy this game again. I think egruntz is drawing way too much attention to himself, but given his other stuff I'm willing to let that slide. He made a few good points, even if he went way overboard in general. I think it's interesting how massive the reaction against him has been though and it's possible, he even says that if we lynch a townie we can still use the information from the discussion, that he's just trying to lure players out. For now I'm willing to say that he's no mafia.
I'm wondering about Palmer_v1 though. Some suspicious behaviour and some inconsistencies. He pretends to know very little (e.g. votes for three players), but on the other hand (post #266, post #221, post #381) he seems to have played the game before, maybe even quite often. Why would he screw up voting or was that some kind of "I'd vote for those" post? Assuming he is mafia, his lynching proposals (Irfaanator, Amir0x, egruntz) could indicate they're innocent. I can't really disagree with his reasons too much, although Amir0x seems to come out of nowhere (even if I agree).
Irfaanator? He got a pass from timeaisis, then accused him of being (potentially) mafia. Some other suspicious posts as well, could be anything.
I'm wondering though if the mafia does it like we do and stays away from each other in the thread. In that case it might be helpful - I might do that later - to analyze who has talked to whom/who has been quoted by whom. I'm probably going to sit back for another day to see how everyone reacts.
Edit:
Did Irfaanator and egruntz ever talk in the thread? You'd think throwing out accusations they would've inevitably mentioned each other.

I'll take a look at irfaanator and egruntz as well. With how active they are it's weird if they did not quote or talk to each other.
I'm thinking that palmer_v1 over thought the rules. He posted as such. He is definitely a person that could be suspicious, especially if someone he is "suspicious" of died and is a tourist.

After thinking about this, here are my guesses for deaths tonight. I bet the mafia will kill Palmer (if he isn't mafia)
Egruntz is probably safe if we don't kill him today.
the mafia may kill timeasis or johnnyquickknives as well. We are also an outside shot (either one of us really), but I think we are largely ok.
I am thinking that we (the tourists) won't lynch anyone today. What do you think?
23

01-19-2015
03:28 AM ET (US)
If we don't lynch anyone today that would be a mistake. Not necessarily mathematically, but it's about as interesting as just lynching people randomly because statistically it might be best. I'm going to vote egruntz, if only because I think we can draw some conclusions from his death. Don't think he's really mafia actually, but I'm not gonna convince anyone (in time) to vote for someone else.
24
Zipped
01-19-2015
09:06 PM ET (US)
With egruntz being a tourist it answers some questions.
1). Not everyone has a power
2). It is very likely that the mafia used his outburst to turn the rest of us against him.
3). My bets for deaths tonight are Palmer, ultron, timeasis, or me (us). Maybe foshy or another player (especially if they tried to kill two last night and couldn't because of a tourists ability.
4). If we survive, based on who gets killed I think we should play against Time, Palmer or Amirox (especially Amirox if he comes back). They are very involved, jumped on egruntz after his posts, and are very influential.

I fear we're being played by the mafia. All they need to do is lean back and let us do the dirty work. We should probably target the less active/vocal players. I mean, if I was mafia, I would try to avoid all attention, which is probably what they are doing.
26

02:41 PM ET (US)
I think that is why I am most Leary if Amirox, was all gung-ho and then as soon as the first night ended. He went into low key mode. Almost as if someone told him to lay off.
Alternatively, they are having different mafia people take active roles on different days to try and keep everyone off all of them, but still allow them one or two members to "guide" the discussion to kill a tourist.
I almost want to start the next day with a vote, just to see what happens

That's the problem with a forum-based mafia game though. In real life you can look how everyone reacts, you can all discuss it and no one can really stay completely away from the game. I'm also thinking about starting the next day with a vote, if only so we tourists finally have the initiative.
I don't know, I need to think about it. I don't even think the mafia is all that involved. Why do something when the tourists kill each other?

Kalor seemed to be chomping at the bit to find the vigilante, he may be Mafia.
Theory, Quantum is Policeman, he didn't find out anything night one, so he didn't post much. On the last night he investigated Kalor last night and found out he was mafia. Then he compiled a bunch of posts to justify it and send us down this path.

I think there's three legitimate candidates that have a chance of "winning". Kalor, for the reasons you mentioned, johnnyquickknives who has been suspicious and very vocal, last but not least Amir0x.
I'm willing to give Amir0x the benefit of the doubt though, because I don't think he'd stoop so low and be deliberately inactive as a mafia, only to lie about it. That leaves Kalor and johnny and there I'm going to go with my guts and vote Kalor. Not sold on him.
A bit weird how calm Kalor is though. Is there a tourist role that wouldn't mind to get murdered?
Edit:
You know what? I'll vote for johnnyquickknives. He's been suspicious for a while, he was accused of egruntz. Same with Palmer_v1, who essentially started the whole "Let's vote Kalor" thing and was supported by Amir0x for no reason.

I missed the vote (completely spaced this morning after that first post).
Well it looks like we killed the vigilante, so we should only have one kill tonight, even though he was a tourist.
Since he was a tourist, I'm thinking that we have more direction on some people. We know we aren't mafia, but those other people may be.
If we get targetted, do we tell people about our two deaths for one deal? Not tell them who the other person is just that if they kill us they kill a second tourist. Opens up us to problems at night (that the doctor would have to save)

Yeah my current bets on cop/investigator is Palmer and QuantumBro.
Palmer, because as you said he tends to stick to certain people. He also has only added people to his suspicion list, the don't leave unless they die.
QuantumBro is on there because of his suspicions of kalor came out of the blue, and then he had that PM letter. That switch PM seems like something that occurs and then the cop gets informed that it occurs. As it's been said in thread it's possible that kalor and ward's deaths were switched. And if a vigilante killed ward but had aimed at Kalor...
I'm really tempted to drop a vote on kalor, him or irfaanator. I think those deaths we can learn from.

I have a feeling they are 4-5 deep, and either a mafia don role (can kill once a night with no mafia input) or a town vigilante (can kill once a night without town/mafia input)

Some of the alternates are nin1000, and Rembrandt. Both of them are suspicious as well.
I mean it's always possible that timeasis, Palmer, Karkador, ultron87 and QuantumBro are playing us. But that would require a really crazy gambit, and if none of them did tonight I think that will be the case (no way the mafia do not target karkador (as the doctor) and ultron87. QuantumBro is probably being role blocked tonight.

Ok with no deaths in a night could mean a lot.
1: the mafia decided not to kill anyone last night. The second killer also decided not to kill anyone.
2: one of the killers were blocked (by a role move similar to duress or by the doctor), the other killer decided not to kill anyone.
The only reason to not kill anyone (option 1) would be to throw suspicion on the role claimers from yesterday. By them not dieing, it throws some suspicion that they may not be those roles, and are in fact Lying and are mafia.
Option 2 is tougher to disprove and is probably what the role claimers are going to push for it. I'm going to ask if anyone wants to share their actions and role information.

I agree, I posted some theory crafting in the thread.
Personally, my favorite one is the last one, that the mafia has a role that can only be killed by lynching. This would make the game more dramatic, and helps keep the "win condition" with the town (as opposed to a town vigilante getting lucky twice).
It's also possible that neither the second killer or the mafia targetted anyone. Or that the second killer didn't target anyone and the other got blocked (or vice versa).
Lots of different ways to end up without a kill at night, just really frustrating

Don't think he gave us an actual name, but he said he can tell if someone got targeted. I'll demand in-detail information the next day though, I'm still not completely sold, but I haven't paid much attention to the whole "Who switched who" business. I mean all we know is that he targeted Palmer, not whether he is mafia or not.
I'm getting feelings about Palmer though, although it's possible he can be ruled out already. Some of his suspects were tourists, he accused me earlier and then instantly let go when I defended myself, this time he simply voted without any comment.
Oh well, after today I'll hold back I guess.

Going over ultron's posts, I'm not entirely sure if he is really the cop. He also got rid of Lords of Castamere by pointing out his lies, but that could've just been part of a plan. What if LoC never got annoyed, but instead they sacrificed him to make ultron87 (or someone else) seem more trustworthy?
Okay, I'm overthinking this. It's still weird. How would he know I'm part of a group? I don't doubt his ability to know whether someone was targeted.

You know the more I think about it he has been completely consistent. He hasn't missed a beat.
However maybe his job has a bit more to it than we think... Maybe on the first visit you can pick whether you get role or who targets and then second time you get the other.

I don't know either, I think we have largely been spared from karkador because he liked to kill the people that we almost vote for and then don't. Thinking that the mafia saved them.
As far as the mafia not killing us? I think the day I called pants out was probably our closest chance to death. They probably have chose to look at us in the past and since we don't target they think we are just regular tourists.
I'll back your play today. Unless our names start getting floated for lynching I think we don't reveal. Mans we reveal right at the end and post our message board. Complete reveal to everyone. It confirms in the only concrete way that we are town. Opens us up for death but it will help other identify who to target.

Any idea who we should vote for? RNH's list is very convenient (formerly redacted names dead), but accusing traube seems weird.

Karkie is useful, but he's playing us. He's withholding the supposed name of his victim so we don't lynch him. I'm almost willing to go with traube actually.

Crazy theory: Palmer and ultron87 are mafia. LoC goes "crazy" so that ultron can expose him, both he and Palmer were the first "on the scene" and voted for him. Palmer is obviously lying about his role, has he given us useful information? Why didn't ultron get offed, even if he's such a prominent tourist.

I agree, I'm pretty sure he has some other role, he's definitely not a sleepwalker though. I posted my best bet.
Still tired of his and traube' shit.
If traube ends up being unkillable I will flip because I called it seems ago.
I'm thinking if mafia kills anyone it will be traube (Assumjng he is not lying about his role), one of us (either really, you have a great track record and I'm in probably too many conversations), or Palmer (just because they don't know what his real role is)
Who do you have a feeling about tomorrow? If the kill traube and he isn't lying I say we either go hard at tomaksatnav. After him it would be palmer then time. If they don't kill traube, It would not surprise me to see kingkitty and absolutbro be mafia too

If Palmer or traube are not mafia, they're doing us a disservice with all their shenanigans. The problem is that all this diverts our attention from those that do little (e.g. tomaksatnav) or those that I don't trust at all (Timeaisis).
It sucks we seem to have no (real) cop, so with guys like toma all we can do is guess whether they're mafia, since there's no way for us to tell.

You see what karkador did? Bastard, we still need two votes to get him, but him switching means that we could be in trouble.
I'm still not nervousc. But if we survive another night I say we vote to lunch traube or tomak.

The more suspicious we seem, the less likely it is the mafia kills us, no?

Hopefully, My money is on traube (if he isn't mafia) and Palmer (if he isn't mafia).
Is traube dies and is that role, I'm thinking tomak, then timeasis or Palmer.
If traube doesn't die, vote traube.
If traube dies and is not that drunk cop, no clue...

And that he definitely killed pants. But it is worded such that he could have been not targeting all along. Throws more shade on those 1 and no kill days

They had to kill someone that said he was an ordinary tourist. Me mentioning the hunter role may have scared them off myself. Why mention this role if he doesn't have it?
It does through more shade on traube though. I Can jump on killing traube, or tomaksatnav. Either one is a good kill, if traube is true, then we prove that only Palmer and tomaksatnav could be mafia left. If traube is mafia, we get closer.

Ok so if traube is mafia, it is likely that at least one of absolutbro and kingkitty are mafia.
If traube is his role then the only two people left are Palmer, and tomaksatnav to be mafia.
Tomaksatnav would make sense, the mafia only seemed to come out of the woodwork when they had too. Letting us kill each other as we needed.
Palmer, on the other hand, would be a really long con. I'm unconvinced that he is a sleepwalker. Having two makes it interesting. But unlikely.
Either way I want to hear what traube says. Maybe he will fuck up. maybe he will say he investigated one of us (good or bad). If he says either are mafia, we can reveal our role (but sadly not the board) and confirm that we are townies as best as possible. Lynching him.
Still have no clue how this could play out, but these next two votes are critical. If there are two or three mafia left and we don't get one today, we are fucked if we lose two+ people

If we kill traube, and he is town then we know 5 of the last seven players are town.
If he is mafia, that leaves 3 of the last seven as garaunteed townies. But that only helps others if we reveal.
If traube reveals anyone else is town, other than us, I think we come clean. Kill traube (to confirm his role), then outline that if traube is town, the last mafia person has to be the last character (1 more mafia optimal solution).
Everything else he says can make stuff hazy. We have really got to think about this

Ok so mafia is probably killing, one of us or Palmer. If We live who do you think we go after? It kind of puts us at square one.
