Mafia: The James Edition

[Hickory]

They're not dead, just eliminated. It's like a game of Assassin.

[Groddil]

They're not dead, just eliminated. It's like a game of Assassin.

Yeah, but he's also on the vote out list.

[Fatch of Southsward]

Awh, they done got me! 

I love that Delthion is "grinning grotesquely" because Sage and Peony were talking. Classic Delthion right there! ( )

Also, I like that you (accurately) predicted that I would enjoy playing Risk. It's one of my favorite games! Unfortunately, there are not many people that want to play Risk these days. It's too long and complicated for them. 

Anyway, I'm dead, so I'll shut up now!

[James Gryphon]

Yeah, but he's also on the vote out list.

Thought I fixed that.

Oh well; it should be now.

Made a minor change to a couple of words in the story, to make it more clear.

[Skyblade]

I'm voting for Peony today and that's going to take a lot to change. After reading over what went down on Day 2, I am extremely suspicious of her. The way she is acting really suggests that she may be the last Blue Mafia. Also, it's advantageous to the Town to get rid of a faction; then this will turn into a normal game of Mafia with only one group and one person dying each night.

Refer to this page for my evidence. Also, here's one of the quotes:

Sor, you don't have majority vote yet. If you can persuade those who haven't voted yet, you might have a chance as long as you don't get one more vote. I myself still haven't decided.

I have played Mafia with Peony many times, and usually she does not try this hard to keep someone from being voted out. If it happens, it happens. But the way she asked Søren to defend himself strikes me as odd. She then votes with Soren for Sage. I can see why a Blue Mafia would do this. Del got killed, so if Søren also gets voted out, the Blue Mafia would be left alone. Of course they would fight hard to keep their last partner alive.

Unlike the accusations made so far, this is based on posts rather than clues that could be far more easily misinterpreted.

It's just too suspicious for me NOT to vote for her.

EDIT: The story also makes sense with Peony being Blue Mafia, as the location where Fatch was shot is surmised to be outside his room.

[Groddil]

The story with Peony would make sense if she was blue, but they're all 'dead' now, aren't they?

It wouldn't make sense for her to defend him if she was red, though.

EDIT: Whoops, never mind, I misread the post and thought Fatch was actually a blue mafia, not somebody who could FIND the blue mafia. In that case, this does seem like it would make sense. So right now, since I'm not stupid enough to vote for myself, I'll wait and see if there's anything else that points to somebody else. If not, I'll probably go with Corn too.

[Skyblade]

I think you misread the story. Fatch was a 1-Shot Blue Detective. There's still one Blue Mafia left. EDIT: Never mind.

I agree that she probably wouldn't do that as Red, but I also don't see why she'd do that as Town. The most plausible reason for uncharacteristically trying to keep Søren from being voted out is being on the same team as him.

[Cornflower MM]

*Shrugs* Here we go again.

I have forgotten my theories. . . . . . . .

[Chipster of Noonvale]

I've been feeling somewhat depressed all week, and the forum was offline all day yesterday.  So I didn't really get any chance to analyze this yet.  But let's try now...

I don't see how Groddil could have killed Jet since he was on vacation for most of the night.  And besides, whoever killed Jet is red mafia. I think it would be better to try to vote out the last blue mafia, because otherwise, two people will die tonight, unless someone gets blocked or protected.

The link in Skyblade's post is broken since the switch from Soopergrape! to Loamhedge.xyz.  Hopefully redirects will be set up on the old website, but until then here is a new link:
http://loamhedgeabbey.com/index.php?topic=775.135

Anyway, her argument against Peony seems to make sense.  I may vote for her, but I will wait to see what other people say.

[James Gryphon]

Just FYI, the link thing is a real hassle, and I'm trying to figure out how to fix it. In the meantime, though, any link that's broken, you can copy it and replace the "loamhedgeabbey.com" with "loamhedgeabbey.com" to get there.

[Hickory]

I think it's kind of accidental cheating for Groddil to leave like that and pretty much get solid proof that he's not mafia.

However, he could still have a one-shot role, which means I;m removing my vote but still keeping an eye on him.

[James Gryphon]

Not really. If he was an individual or Blue Mafia, he could have sent me orders in advance. And if he was Red Mafia, his team could have gotten a majority decision without him.

[Hickory]

*shrug*

[Skyblade]

A lot of people on this forum are clearly not doing well IRL Hope things get better for you all. That doesn't mean I'll go easier on you in the game (), but outside the competition, I'm cheering for you guys.

Regarding Groddil: All the evidence is apparent clues, and we all know how I feel about that I know I seem too against using clues, but after all the fails I've seen with Town voting people just because of things they read in the story, I think I'm right to be leery.

Ash is unnerving me. He hasn't posted all game, despite still being active on the forum. The reason this is unsettling is that 1) I HAVE seen Mafia use the strategy of not posting/barely posting to win, which is REALLY frustrating and 2) People who don't post tend to get overlooked, even though they have an equal, actually I'd say greater, chance of being Mafia. Just because someone is not posting doesn't mean we can write them off as Innocent.

Another person who's been flying under the radar is Eul. She has also been active on the forum but inactive here for some reason. This is uncharacteristic behavior from her. She's usually very active and thoughtful (refer to Presidential Mafia, where she was Town), but in this game she's made only a few posts and hasn't voted once. In past games, Eul has usually (if not always) been Town. So if she's Mafia this time, it would make sense for her to come off a bit differently. Now that I type this, I'm getting more and more unnerved.

Okay, I went back to look at Presidential Mafia, and I just found a post by Eul that ramped up by suspicions x 5

I would just like to say that I am always this thoughtful in Mafia And if I were Mafia, I'd probably be lurking in the background with the others. Since no one that's lurking is really being suspected, it seems safer. But even the lurking ones who aren't Mafia are hurting the Town.

This just matches exactly why I'm suspecting her. Oh my goodness. Sorry, I'm kinda freaking out right now

Today it's between Peony and Eul for me. This is nuts. They're both so suspicious.

EDIT: Been thinking about this, and I think my vote really is going to Eul. This is a really tough decision because I still suspect Peony, but I see more evidence for Eul now.

If you read through Presidential Mafia, you'll find quite a few posts in which Town Eul complains about how inactive everyone is. I can't blame her (in fact, I agree), but the fact that she is rejecting her own philosophy in this game is unnerving.

[Eulaliaaa!]

The sun came up to reveal that Fatch had also received attention the past night, with a blue stain on the back of his shirt. Fatch didn't seem to remember having been shot at any point; Galli surmised that the hit must have taken place while they were walking up to their rooms, when the rain was falling hard and such a shot was likely to go unnoticed.

I have a few things to say to this. Who would have shot Fatch while we were all walking back together? Someone would have seen it. This doesn't mean Galli is Mafia, it would be too obvious. I think it happened while he was sleeping. That means the Blue Mafia must be a guy, since girls aren't allowed in the boys room.

@Skyblade Sorry my posts aren't more detailed or frequent. Play practice has started again which means I go straight from school to play practice that ends at 6, barely have time to shove food down my throat and throw on my gi before I rush over to Jiu Jitsu that starts at 6:15, then I get home at around 8. I'm also drowning in homework and fighting to keep my grades up. I've been lurking more than anything, lately 

I'll post more tomorrow when I have time.
