Mini Mafia 2 - Page 32

L: My first impressions are that he is accusing players and basically trying to take a leadership position in the town. This, in my experience, is a town-oriented move because it is ridiculously hard to keep up the illusion of innocence with the spotlight on you. In addition, L is going out on a limb and accusing people. Again, mafia are afraid of painting people because they tend to draw attention for starting bandwagons. I'm almost positive L is innocent at this point. However, I'll watch him a bit longer to see if he keeps it up, just to be sure.

Vivi: chiming-in post. I thought this was a bit suspicious because he doesn't really have much in the way of reasoning but the post tends to blend in.

Judge's roleclaim: Again, he's taking the spotlight. I honestly don't care if he is medic or not at this point. He's putting the spotlight on himself while not actually asking for any sort of power from the town. I find it HIGHLY unlikely that the mafia would risk their godfather on a move like this. Any other sort of mafia wouldn't pull a move like this. Basically, I would keep an eye on him moving forward (he's in the spotlight now and will slip up eventually if he's mafia), but for the most part, just ignore him. Instead, I'm watching who decides to bandwagon on him.

Judge's plan: I don't like his plan because I felt it wasted too much time. (At this point, I figured the town could only get away with 3 misses and the first day was almost certainly a miss. Missing another by getting Judge killed eliminates your leeway and I don't like that. The potential gain just isn't big enough.)

RoL/ scamp: Nothing posts. A bit suspicious.

Zato-1: Long posts defending Scamp/Vivi and attacking Chezinu. Probably town, but not enough to make a final conclusion. Mentally noting it for later.

Scamp: Folds after a light accusation - very suspicious.

Ace: This post is totally out of character from what I expected from Ace. His last few games (not counting smurf which was weird, speed where he got a late start, or mafiya where he had a funky role), his posts have been things like:

[

In this one, notice the difference in tone. He is angry at the people who got him lynched last game, but he doesn't have the "time to hunt mafia" attitude he had in the past few. When he's innocent, he knows that there is nothing the mafia can throw at him that will actually stick. He just doesn't have that confidence this game. Also notice that he isn't trying to take the spotlight. HIGHLY suspicious. Note for later that he calls out RoL, nemY, and vivi.

Qatol: Blue like always

L: continues to force discussion. He could let the thread stagnate, but he isn't letting it. Sure looks innocent to me.

Ace: Gives an honest opinion. I think he would have posted like this regardless of role. He always jumps on roleclaimers. However, he still isn't trying to push into the spotlight.

Scamp: FOrcing activity too. He also emphasizes that medics can protect themselves. This is a very major town read. Specifically, the mafia don't want to let the town know that this is a possibility just in case they aren't reading. Scamp looks pretty town to me at this point.

Judge: Continues to sit in the spotlight, not actually asking the town to do anything. I like my read on him.

L triple post: Continues to enjoy the limelight as well. I still like him for innocent.

Mikeymoo: "confusion" post. Notice that this doesn't really contribute anything to the game. More on this later.

Heavonearth: Seems confused by how the game started. However, his request that another medic cross-claim when there is at least a good possiblity that judge is not a medic (but is innocent) seems wrong to me. Generally, I expect the mafia to be more careful with their logic because you can get called on this kind of stuff and get in trouble. I'll look for how he reacts and assume he's innocent for now.

nemY: Quickly jumps on the "lynch judge" bandwagon but again doesn't really add much in the way of content. His comment about rolechecks has been the case for several games now. I already had my eye on him and this post doesn't help him.

L: obviously working with Judge by now. They both seem innocent to me.

Vivi: Another player I was looking at from Ace's post. This post is really a nothing post. He emphasizes inactivity just like Scamp and L have already done. I'm still looking hard at him.

Zato: He sticks his neck out to join the 2 that I think are innocent. I'm hoping this will put him into the spotlight so I can make a decision about him.

Mikeymoo: He's been pretty quiet this game so far. Again, this post doesn't contribute anything.

Malongo: Decides to step up and accuse RoL. He also makes claims about the alignment of L and Judge. I liked this move because it triggered a lot of posting, which I will talk about shortly.

Ace: He continues on his "lynch all liars" movement. He will post like this regardless of role. (I see where he's coming from with it, though I believe he takes it a bit too far.) However, suspecting him based on this is a bad idea. The reason I mention this is because Ace works on undermining Zato's support of L and Judge, pushing him into the spotlight like I had hoped.

Zato: His post is entirely with the logic I have been using. This post cleared up a lot of doubt for me. Probably innocent. His conversation with RoL a bit later (again using logic just like mine) completely clears him for me.

RoL: Rant time, triggered by posts from Malongo and Ace. Amusingly, these rants basically clear him for me. Him raging at the town and not caring that he's in the spotlight pretty clearly tells me that he isn't afraid of looking like mafia. (He is quieter when mafia usually.) Additionally, I enjoyed his mouth plan.

nemY: Continues to dig at Judge. Judge continues to stand strong. I'm still looking at nemY as suspicious.

Vivi: Finally takes a stand on something (Judge). Triggers a rant from Ace. I'm wondering if this is a ploy, but I still like nemY better than Vivi as mafia.

Chezinu: Just like Foolishness and 0cz3c, people just don't read his posts because he has a bad reputation in some peoples' minds. I've noticed that he's quiet, but he doesn't seem to be connected to the mafia. As mafia, I would expect them to try and make him post more so they can use the "not posting" as ammunition because so many people are actively pushing that this game.

Ace: Minor quarrel with L.

Mikeymoo: This post basically sealed the deal for me with him. I already mentioned that he was posting, but not really putting any content into his posts. He just asked some questions. Well, he continued to do that. He isn't really committing to any sort of position with regards to.... anything. Also he is VERY emphatic about his confusion. This is classic mafia play.
