Mafia: The James Edition

[James Gryphon]

James watches with some interest as the players near-unanimously cast their votes against Daskar. After the ninth vote, he raises a hand for silence.

"I guess that'll do it for this session. Sorry Vilu; better luck next time. It's just a game, anyway. You'll have plenty of chances to win at something before we're done here." James types something down on his phone, then looks towards the main body of voters.

"Y'all got a real bandwagon going. Were you all really sure that was the right way to go? Well, I won't hold you in suspense any longer. Vilu's the first player to go from our game, and he was... Town. No special assignment."

James yawns. "Well, I'm done down here for the night, y'all. I'll probably be up for a bit longer as I try to settle down for the night, so if you tap on the door when you come up I might still be able to let you in. If I'm asleep, though, Matthias will unlock the door for you. G'night."

The night phase has begun. The Mafia teams should discuss who they want to try to kill amongst themselves, and PM me their decision. Everyone with a special role should also PM me, to tell me who they want to use their power on. (If you have a 1-Shot role and don't want to use it tonight, you should still contact me, so that I don't wait extra time for you in case you want to use it.)

As honored as I am to be described as an intimidating mafia player, I must disagree with Delthion's statement. There are several routes this grouping could take.

We could all be mafia, in which case you certainly should lynch us. Luckily, that's not the case. James would never put all the groups out in the open like that. I'm a town member, as I always have been.  We certainly can't all be mafia, since I know that I, at least, am not one.

We could all be town. We could all be doctors. We could all be investigators. If this is the case, lynching us would allow the mafia to recognize half of the important town roles. Not a good move. I don't think this is the case either. Once again, James would never group us like that and then reveal it to the entire playing board.

I think the most likely case is that we were grouped as part of one of the pseudo - clues (or false clues). James specifically mentioned they would be around, and such an obvious clue is almost certainly a false one. (This is James we're talking about. The clues are well hidden, and not meant to be easily found. A clue this simple would practically throw the whole game away.)

I'm not very confident in voting out Daskar either, but voting out Sky or myself seems to be a much more risky path to take.

EDIT: James Ninja'd me. Unfortunately, the worst possible thing has happened and Daskar was a town member. We should have known better - this is exactly what he was voted out for last time we played mafia, and we were wrong that time to.

[James Gryphon]

(I realized that not requiring confirmation from the 1-shot roles is a bad idea, for practical reasons, so I've reversed that policy. You should now send me a confirmation saying that you're aware it's night and you don't want to use your power. This way, I don't spend extra time waiting for you in case you do decide to use it. Sorry for that.)

[Gonff the Mousethief]

Man, even with there being those "One night only" power people, we still chose one of the four people out of 15 that are always Town. Didn't Daskar do this last time?

My thoughts exactly.

[Cornflower MM]

Peony - remember that round when she was Mafia and made a post about not getting a PM, oh oops, now everybody knows she's Town, oh no... wait, she was actually the Mafia? She's been making posts about not understanding and maybe even dropping out, which could be very similar to the trick she pulled off when she was the Mafia. I'm not saying it means anything, but that's what it could be.

I swear by everything I hold dear I did not get a PM that time. If an honest mistake won that game, then I'm not complaining, but I AM complaining about people giving me credit for what I didn't do. For once and for all, that was no trick on my part. That was all Town assumption.

Anyway. Sorry. One of my pet peeves, combined with early morning.

I'll put up thoughts later, when I have time.

[Jetthebinturong]

Jet - we all are complaining about how he posted nothing when he was Mafia, and now he is posting, that means he must be Town this time, right? Well, it would only make sense for him to post a lot now if he was Mafia, it makes sense. Again, I'm not saying this definitely means he's Mafia, I'm just saying he and Corn should be watched. Not that there is someone who shouldn't be, it's never a good idea to trust anyone in this game.

Which game was this? Because I don't remember it.

[Lord Daskar]

I should be clearer in my posts.

This is the second game in a row where Daskar is the first to be voted out only to turn out innocent.  This can mean two things:

1: He always acts suspiciously even when he has nothing to conceal;
2: Voters are too hasty.

Or a combination of both...

I'll admit, Daskar always seems suspicious. And voters are always hasty on the first day, when there isn't any real clues. We tend to just go for whoever everybody else does, 'cause there's nothing else to really do.

[Cornflower MM]

Uh, Groddz, we always do that. How did Skye put? The _____ choo-choo train? Game before last was a prime example of that. Remember, everyone jumped on the 'Let's Kill Corn!' bandwagon, and then I'd work my magic powers and you'd all jump on someone's tail?

[Fatch of Southsward]

That situation differed slightly, in that the bandwagon was actually correct in gunning for you, Mrs Mafia. 

[Cornflower MM]

Well, yeah. That was just an example.

Corn, that's what I was saying...
