vote mickyj

Investigation came up mafia.

Sorry it was MickyJ he lynched but he didnt say it was 50/50 straight away and I didnt pick it up till later as I just skimmed through. That said he did kill a townie thus making himself look highly sus and there is no other info being offered by anyone.

To make sure of what? 50/50. Could come up twice heads or tail or come up one each.

I believe the idea is to use the power as a basis for further assessment on the individuals.

He said town would come up as mafia 50% of the time. I assume Mafia comes up as Mafia 100% of the time.

So an intelligent person would investigate twice. If the same person came up as Mafia twice in a row the odds would be in favour of it being a genuine mafia.

It is very hard for me to believe that a real investigator would out themselves just a 50% shot

also, if mafia knows there are only two investigators and WP is one, why wouldn't they kill the shit out of him asap? only have one guy to find after that. this would be easier if the town investigator(s) came forth...as long as we could protect them.

Hit mafia - 50% chance they'll appear town.

Misread it yesterday, thought it was the other way round. So I got the unlucky ten with Micky. Even more a reason to go ahead with his lynch.

And lynching me gives them a free shot at someone else.

Every reason for your lynch is flawed.

Because we haven't had a kill phase where they can do it yet.

Hmm not sure what to make of this. WarriorPoet seems to be changing his defence here. He is now claiming the odds were actually in his favour whereas last day phase he told us it was a straight coin flip/50% chance of being correct. It's happened before but I'm very wary of the misread my role PM defence, especially in this case where you would think it's something pretty straight forward to read and comprehend.

With that being said, he has roleclaimed Drew, which is a silly move under most circumstances if it were not true. We have town as FFB aligned, so it's likely that Drew-sta would be town, of course. However, no town actually knows what characters have been picked for the mafia faction. soc could be having a laugh by making some of the FFB's biggest fans of Mis as his lovers, in which Drew would definitely be a mafia candidate. Unlikely though.

Anyway, some food for thought...

Might get role blocked, more likely killed. As to why he would reveal he found mafia, well, because they're mafia, that's the one time you do reveal.

At this point I'm sure our actual investigator will/has/plans to check out WP but even if WP comes up town there's no point saying anything unless he actually finds mafia.

I see what you're saying in regards to "why do it" but think about that for a second, unless they already know who the investigator us (highly unlikely) then WP making this play doesn't make sense because it outs him right under the investigation microscope. WP had a 50/50 shot, and in a game where there's only 4 mafia, taking one out early is a killer blow. The play makes way less sense if he's mafia.

Also, why would you reveal you found a mafia if you're only to get role blocked the next few nights?

This would be a great ploy for a Godfather type role from traditional games. i.e, Don, who turns up as town when investigated, and has no action. He is checked out and then considered town. Even better if he has protection because then a lynch is wasted. If people don't trust him, he is roleblocked instead of having someone in his mafia roleblocked. It's also a decent ploy for town too though just to make things more difficult. His crappy investigation is roleblocked instead of a useful action.

Anyway, that's my musings, and above all else the pertinent facts for me are that a) nobody had challenged WP's Derp-sta claim and b) we have a FFB aligned faction. No way Drew would be left out of the game, so the reasonable conclusion is town for me.

Of course, that could all change once we turn up one mafia character. I'm thinking they are just people that Mis has referenced in his time here, named by characteristics ("The Ex") or by region ("Cute German Girl").

I have finally caught up and read the entire thread, hence my bulky post there. I think the lynch would have gone through anyway, but I wish I had read the thread properly before voting for mickyj. I really only scanned for WP's posts since he was the one making the claim and neglected mickyj's defence.

As far as suspicions go, I have a few but it's nothing substantial.

There are a few people who are very quiet, with at least one having not even posted once yet on a quick glance of the thread's post summary.

IMO the game is pretty much Mis being distracted from hosting duties by his numerous chicken heads.

So it would be....

Town - regular mafia players ie all of us
Mafia - Mis' distractions

IMO Drew would have to be town and with nobody counter claiming WP's claim it's hard to see him as not town.

I suspect mafia haven't jumped on the lynch yet (1 possible, maybe 2 at absolute most) but if we hit that tipping point they'd jump on quick.

f**k, you guys have really made a mess of this in my absence. I can see now why soc asked me to surrender my bad-ass role in exchange for a shit one. Whoever took it over had better be using it.

FWIW, I don't think WP is scum. Dutchy is a bloody savvy player, and I doubt he'd be dumb enough to blow his wad so early and so obviously just to lynch a (no offense) non threat in mickyj.

I'd be more inclined to throw a vote on a largely inactive player.

P.S. Soc, I both love you and hate you. My next game was literally going to have a mafia made up of my crazy exes :lol:

Now to rewrite it.
