SIMPSONS MAFIA (Game Thread)

[Hallatia]

that was a poorly constructed post, but I think it was still comprehensible and I can't edit it so it will have to stay as is

 

[Parra]

It is time for the town to get its act together now. We could be outnumbered after this night.

Risking my neck by sticking it out - I see Monk as a mafia kingpin.

The early lynch-vote swap with another mafia member backfired (with bulldog force I think) and it seems a vigilante or some other town-aligned hero took out the mafia member.

Any of us could be killed tonight. We can't sit around being led by fools who have already lynched the wrong people. This is why I am sticking my neck out and naming Monk for the next lynching. It could get me killed - but if our numbers dindle we lose lynch power anyway.

I've only voted JM because I thought he was being ultra cocky, ultra defensive, ultra competitive and he seemed to have an advantage over everyone else. TBH I thought he was mafia and I was wrong but the way he plays the game it's difficult to get a real fix on him and his motives.

I don't get the BDR suspicion from Hal which seems to stem from one quote early in the game and the last game. But I do agree that Cliffy and Apey are a little bit sus.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

To clarify my last post about JM - his game play makes it difficult to assess his motives.

 

[9701]

Well shit, argument wasn't as compelling as I thought.

I still have my suspicions about 9701

Suspiscions about me? I have barely posted as in the last game i posted frequently and did updates as to who wasn't posting, straight after i brought attention to those not posting the mafia took me out. I am a townsperson and will not beg for my life.

I would though be interested in knowing why you have suspicions on me (as would the rest of my townsfolk), I know of course you being mafia know thta I am a townie so want us townies to lynch another of our own.

So please for the rest of the town explain your suspicions?

I'd be the sexiest Mafia boss ever tbh. But my vote for BF wasn't strategic, I think he's the stupidest person on the internet and he annoys me. So yeh, unfortunately you're barking up the wrong tree but at least you're sticking your neck out and not blindly following what other people do.

BDR wasn't just the early comment, but several things he has done since then too and others have cottoned on, but what bothers me most about him in this game at the moment is how much he's changing his personality in this thread. JM also said that if he died, we should go after BDR and JM did know things

 

[Hallatia]

the person who took out BF does not have to have been a good guy, the factions aren't in it together otherwise they would all be mafia. I'm pretty sure it's each faction for themselves and they can only win by being the last standing. I could be wrong though as I am only going by last time stuff

I agree with most of this, but Monk? He is one that I had pegged as town. Happy to hear your theorys though.

You said in an earlier post that the ones that have voted to kill innocents need to be looked at. Easy to say in hindsight that it was wrong. BTW how many of those innocents did you argue to save?

Another handy tip for the ladies, Spongebob is not a contraceptive.

 

[Parra]

BTW how many of those innocents did you argue to save?

What would be the point? People who vote irrationally will not be responsive to rational argument.

I have no more reason for saving someone than you had for killing them. As I knew I has nothing useful to add I chose to keep quiet.

The only people who know things are mafioso. Hence, they are the only people who need to generate lynchings with red herrings.

This puts you in the firing line as mafia.

We get to a point that we have to make decisions on the info we have. We are at that point now.

My theory was that early vote swap.

 

[soc123_au]

The mafia dont need to actively create red herrings. They have the night to do their bidding pretty much unopposed. Then they can sit back & laugh at us doing what we have been & quietly jump on the back of an easy lynch if needed.

To not vote & stay out of discussions plays into their hands. As AG said what do we do just sit about & wait to get picked off?

At least your having a crack now. I will go back & re read the thread. Like I said Monk looks pretty squeaky clean to me.Time to get serious, Class clown is not a paid profession.

 

[Parra]

To not vote & stay out of discussions plays into their hands.

I can't agree with this. With the unsuccessful lynchings participants are either mafia or being led by mafia.

 

[Monk]

I don't think anyone can definitely say yes or no either way tbh. Could be half and half we wouldn't know.

 

[butchmcdick]

That's the big shit sandwich isn't it

Nobody knows who is mafia other than other mafia and even then ( if last game is anything to go by ) each mafia faction only knows who is in their faction.

The only place townies can figure who else is a townie is from posts in the thread.

I was going to suggest nobody votes for a lynching unless they explain their reasons clearly without so called Mabo style vibes but if there is no lynching in the daytime it only benefits the bad guys.

Does anyone have any other suggestions as to what we do from here to stop lynching townies and start taking out the bad guys ?

 

[Hallatia]

don't lynch people if you have strong feelings that they could be townies. Jason Maher seemed suspicious, but there had to be some thoughts going both ways, better to lynch someone you are convinced is bad and don't have any real reason to believe is good

 

[BDR]

BDR wasn't just the early comment, but several things he has done since then too and others have cottoned on, but what bothers me most about him in this game at the moment is how much he's changing his personality in this thread. JM also said that if he died, we should go after BDR and JM did know things

I'm all ears? I have nothing to hide.

 

[Parra]

Jason Maher seemed suspicious

I couldn't see why anyone thought that. I still can't .

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Like Butch said, if we sit on our hands and don't investigate we're going to get picked off one by one. That is not to say we have to lynch every day but we at least have to rationalise what people are doing or not doing during the day. People who rarely have any input on discussions are just as bad as those who join the mob and lynch just to see what might happen.

9701, highhow and until recently parra are cases in point. People who do nothing look like they're more interested in protecting their skins then helping their fellow townies. Fair enough but it helps the mafia more than us.

The only way to find out who is mafia and who is town is to analyse who is posting and what they are saying without reading too much into things.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Hal, give us examples of BDR's snakey behaviour and I might do some investigating on the reptile myself.
