Sucks but its whatever...Gotta happen some time...I just hope the radiation later this week eases some of his pain
Anyway, lets put some emphasis on this thing real quick before we wake and some more of us are dead. WHO KNEW WHO THE VIGI'S WERE.
FIND that person and we found a mafia....
For that reason, I suspect maybe tree.hugger. They could of trusted the mayor. Or the Sheriff....Or maybe the mafia just got lucky as fuck with the random guess....
And tree.hugger, you lynching a DT as your first lynch kinda puts you a lil higher on my random lynch thing...The vigi's coulda trusted you, lunatic man coulda trusted the guy about to win the election....I mean this game is filled with newbs....
I don't have time to assess clues, so I'm not even gonna try right now. I might wind up dead though. Not that I really suspect that I'm a high priority or anything, or facing immediate death, but it's mafia and you never know.
I'm lucky enough to have all four of my grandparents still alive, and two are in stunningly good health in their eighties, but you can't take too much for granted, and it's good to spend as much time as you can with people who are so close to you.
And I would've loved if lunaticman had contacted me, because then I wouldn't have lynched him. If lunaticman was an active member, then lynching a detective would've been stupid indeed. But lunaticman never posted anything, nor pm'd me, and actually hasn't posted anywhere on TL.net since this entire mafia game began. (15 posts then -> 15 posts now). As for the vigilantes, those killings seem at best to be an unfortunate coincidence. There are only a few people who have actually pm'd me directly about the game, and none of them have roleclaimed.
I realize all I'm asking you to do is take my word for it, but I do think you're supposing that I have a rather ridiculous amount of knowledge that I'm sadly nowhere near. And once again, there is not a single clue in any post that has been traced to me.

I find anyone who is arguing for me to be Mafia as they themselves Mafia tbh. I think it's gotten to a point where you have to be an idiot or have an ulterior motive to consider me Mafia and as such that was the only reason I added you to the list of people i would choose.
Seriously, is there anyone you haven't accused of being mafia yet? Enough is enough, no?

reasons why? seems like good logic to me
im annoyed. my circle of trust just got raped =[
It can just as easily work the other way. If the mafia kills off X, who has spent the entire game accusing Y, then the mafia could just be hoping that Y will be lynched.

Fuck man, I could of sworn XeliN was a mafia. Guess, I was wrong, I am sorry XeliN for pointing so many fingers at you. <3 May you R.I.P.
XeliN talked too much, and with too little cohesion or sense. I always felt like he was the most obvious townie of us all, but having the unfortunate habit of barking up nearly every possible tree, and not really getting anything concrete out of it.

I feel that I've done a poor job of leading the town so far. I promised careful consideration, but I feel as though I've been too careful, and too unwilling to take risks. With the death of at least one bodyguard, my position becomes more and more acute. We're running out of time, so we've really got to nail this double lynch.
I've put in italics anything that seems interesting or suggestive:

The night was cold, very cold. That is what it seemed to Xelin. The man swam faster and faster to escape his foe. He looked back and didn’t see anyone and swam to the safety of the shore. As he pulled himself from the water he looked up to see a man leering down at him. Before Xelin could run, a branded hand grabbed him by the neck and strangled the life out of him. Xelin body would be found floating amongst some rocks in the morning.
This killing seems very similar to the very first killing. We have another murder conducted on the shore/beach. We have another killing that references water. The one facet of this murder that opens up a new light on this mafia member is the 'branded hand' - a phrase that is almost surely not accidental.
1. Can we reconcile Jadefist with water? 'Jade' with 'branded'?
2. Can we reconcile drinking with a 'branded hand'?

Across town, two men had decided to setup in their home to survive the night. Both took up arms, and had barricaded the doors and windows. Both had then taken to different rooms, not sure if they should trust each other further. Fishball was in the living room relaxing, gun across his legs. He heard the sound of movement from outside the house and knew it was nothing to worry about with the house locked down. The sound eventually stopped, and fishball turned the tv on low. He then heard something in the basement, then stood up and turned in time to see the basement door fly open, and a man in black charge him. Before he could fire, the mafia had already stabbed his blade into fishball and then ripped the blade upwards cutting the now dead townie in half from the chest up.
This killing doesn't necessarily bring to mind any past killings per se, but there are many points of interest.
- The killer comes from below.
- He somehow enters a barricaded house.
- Sound is associated strongly with this killer.
- This killer uses a knife, and a strange method of dismemberment.

During this same period of waiting, Iaaan was in the kitchen, with a few knives on the table for his own protection. He checked his watch and saw that it was 2 am. He heard the commotion from the living room, drew a knife and moved towards it. Just as he entered the room, he heard a noise from behind him, he turned and lashed out with his knife, only to have his arm blocked by the man in black. Before he could make another move, a knife was driven into Iaaan s heart. As he fell, his eyes gazed down to his watch, nothing had changed.
It's a little unclear, but these two killings were likely committed by different mafia, although there are similarities. The use of 'the' (man in black) suggests that they may be the same. I'm not sure. The reference to 2 am is surely not unintentional, and brings to mind the two shots fired by the 'technical drawing' mafia. However, there is little in Iaaan's killing besides the number that might connect the two.

However, we have a second clue here in the form of the branded hand, which could mean any number of things... though putting it into Google yields a poem. The poem honors a seaman who was convicted and branded on his right hand for helping slaves. There are some lines in the poem that refer to a 'Saviour'. Curiously, gaizka is a Basque name which means precisely that.
Love that reasoning, but let's not lynch people who are up for modkills.

We need to vote for a double lynch tomorrow to have one on Day 5. The town might be outvoted if tree.hugger is mafia, in which case it's GG.
I'd really like to survive tomorrow night, because otherwise, we're screwed.
I mean, there's really no point in me trying to make any justifications at this point, because if I AM we're dead, and if I'm not, then we have a shot at this thing. So basically, you really don't have a choice but to trust me. Also, we have to bat 100% in the future.
+ Show Spoiler +You're in luck, I'm not the mafia.
Plan of action #1:
- Determine what the clues were that pointed to the dead mafia, ' 7strife' so we can stop talking about those murders, and focus on the other ones.
- Please post your thoughts as often as possible, especially before the night ends.

- Incarcerated players can still vote the following day yes?
- Also, we probably have one detective left, and you better have used your role-check tonight, and dammit, I want to hear about BOTH of your role checks. You actually HAVE to tell me, because otherwise, we will lose.
And this game has had the worst luck imaginable - one DT, both medics inactive... with only one inactive mafia, and six other guys laying false trails...

Alright, so d3's incarceration should put me through the night safely, and then we'll take it from there. But if we're going to make a comeback here, we really have to get our lynches right.
I'm going to try to figure out which kills were committed by our friendly dead mafia, but tonight and tomorrow my time is limited, so it's seriously time that people break out google and do some good investigation. We need evidence...
ALSO, the DT needs to tell me what they know, before the night ends. As we've said, you're just going to have to trust me. If you know something, say something.

I'm very suspicious of all the people who DIDN'T vote for no_re (dozko, d3_crescentia, OpZ, decafchicken, ShoCkeyy all did). d3 had some very conclusive evidence to no_re's alignment. Why am I included in that list when it's clear that I did vote for him? again I'm going to call out iloveKT since he voted for 7Strife for no apparent reason
Wait, that's so weird. It was such an inconsequential pick that I hardly even noticed it. That's very funny.

Blargh, a few more things...
Condition 1: Revised - All elected officials are town-aligned.
Subcondition 3a: If a Veteran exists, the mafia MUST target him on Night 3 or 4.
This is what we have to work with. If anyone claims vet at this point, we should be very suspicious of what he has to say since the GF can fake Vet though we should avoid lynching him immediately. If the mafia decides to buy into this idea, it will benefit the town in the short run if we lynch the rest of the mafia with 100% accuracy, but it puts us into a dangerous situation in the late game (3v2 or 2v1 situations, etc.) I am hoping the last DT will survive until then.
Well, d3, if you're mafia, then you can probably just say it, and we'll gg right now.
As the mafia well know, I'm a townie. Otherwise, we've had the funny occasion of both elected officals being townies, which is actually quite funny given the level of speculation about the race.
Also, to the last remaining DT that's out there- it's seriously time to roleclaim to me. Whatever you know, I NEED to know, because I NEED to know who to vote for. I mean seriously, it's time you said something useful.

Damn, d3, my days are now numbered. (Specifically; "1")
I confess myself amazed that we both were actually townies. Thank you for helping me bluff my way through the night, hopefully we can kill a mafia in your memory.

What is the (textual) evidence against no_re, besides d3/Iaaan's gambit? I want to know if we can connect him to a single murder.
|
Philadelphia, PA10406 Posts
My intent (as I pm'd to d3) was to vote Sidesprang and then see if anyone followed. Then nobody did anything, and I so I figured there was no way for us to win anyway.
Disappointing end.
I was never pm'd by Sagaz, and I just didn't have the time I had earlier in the game to do all the work.
