I just want to put this out there for future reference:

Maybe you haven't played enough. But Ver does not like playing mafia in Pm's typically, nor do I. Just showerd, so I will go compare his posting to previous games, but he is playing very as per his normal play.

The person replying to this is LucaWoJ, a while after it was posted and in his first "real" attempt to contribute:

Okay, I've just about caught up with this thread. This post is egregiously incorrect in its categorization of Ver's behavior during Mafia games. Ver frequently starts off a mafia game by posting two or three huge posts, and then communicates by PMs at night. This has been the case in every game I've ever played with Ver, and he's not playing any differently. When mafia, he usually posts less often day 2 and day 3, and when townie, Ver has tended towards PM'ing a specific group. In previous games, he's also tried guessing my role multiple times via PMs. That Ver might not like playing through PMs does not prevent him from doing so, and he does.

I apologize for being so inactive. I was away all of Saturday and most of Sunday. When I came back, I had 55 or so pages to tackle, and it was just overwhelming because of the amount of garbage in the thread which resulted from many individuals intentionally and rather blatantly ignoring the response posts of those whom they accused. Just an example: Ace is often accused of being mafia, and even though he is not contributing as much as he usually does, he does defend himself. Quite literally pages upon pages of responses to Ace's posts are complete misreadings of what he says. Everything ends up getting buried, and "inactives" like me get frustrated at how no responses can be made to those posts because there are forty pages to go. And this isn't just with Ace. Everyone's posts are being misinterpreted or skewed in some form or another, and more importantly, many are being overlooked (most notably, Ver's). Spammers respond to Chezinu's and BM's nonsense posts like they aren't half-assed troll attempts (chezinu more so than BM).

It's just all very depressing.

Perhaps on a more positive note, I really like the way "madnessman" is posting so far. Everything is well-thought out, and none of it is useless. Keep it up.


BM: Roleclaiming medic is an incredibly stupid move in this game, every bit as much as in any other game. As has already been pointed out, both mafia teams are simply trying to kill each other. In the event that one team is better than the other, the town should use medics to defend key mafia players, in order to be able to fulfill its own victory conditions. In this situation, the stronger mafia team will try to snipe the medics. Publicly RC'in medic makes this a rather easy task, even if he isn't necessarily confirmed (this is in general, not just redtooth), and takes away a stalling weapon the town still has.


I have contributed absolutely nothing this game, and I intend to help out now if I can.

Nothing here incriminates LucasWoJ or Ver. I am not accusing them and I cannot tie a single clue to either of them. However, if one turns up red at any point in time, this exchange is worth keeping in mind. Consider it a "grouping" if you will.

Thank you for the clarification Caller. As I said above, I have no reason to think Ver is red, in fact he has made some of the better posts thus far. It was LucasWoJ responding sort of out of the blue to a (now confirmed) townie that caught my eye.

I've PM-ed extensively with Zona last game an know his forum posts. He is a really smart guy. I think if he were mafia he could do a much better job blending in - right now he REALLY sticks out for his inactivity. Just my two cents.

Night two clue analysis. (no behavioral stuff in this post)

A fair number of clues seem to be repeats from the prior night.

- spraying gasoline & lighting the victim on fire (deramflower & Ace). Other clues to this guy: mutters to himself that it would be fun to terrorizing people in daytime.

- killer keeps going through walls (Quatol and Zato-1). Other clues: cackled loudly on day 1, perhaps knocked down and impaled Zato with sharp objects.

- rooftop killer who keeps smiling to himself (BloodyCobbler, Incognito). Other clues to this guy: crazed psychopathic noises, hyena-like laughter, ripped Incognito's head off, dropped miniature sphinx on BC.

- there is now a mysterious airborne-particles killer.

- spear killer (BloodyCobbler, horseman who charged at dreamflower).

- Note that BC was a double hit. He did not die from the sphinx, but a spear to the gut with the accompanying inscription suggesting sacrifices to the gods. I had not noticed this in the "autopsy report" on my first read.Ver's comment seems relevant when we do the math here:
i was certainly wrong about BC. The hitlists show that the mafia also had no idea either. There are likely 2 missing hits, 1 of them accounted for by me. So either a bomb/hit overlapped or someone else got saved.


Profiles that fit night 2 clues, roughly in order of sign-up list:

Vivi57: spear killer could be one of the savages form his profile pic. Spear had inscription calling for human sacrifice to the gods, fits with the reference to 1000x curses.

XeliN: guy going through walls - profile pic of a green guy who could be interpreted as breaking through walls.

QuickStriker: chess piece - miniature sphinx?

Nikkoner: profile pic provides a grafiti connection to d3_crescentia's killer.

meeple: possible rooftop killer link with profile picture.

ohN: Fulgrim walking through meadows, particles falling through the air, allergies.

Mystlord: obviously fits the fire clue. Not sure about the terrorizing day/night, perhaps someone knows more about the cartoon in his picture.

Phrujbaz: same connection as ohN.

I am not pointing any fingers in this particular post, these are just pretty cut and dry clue links I see. Some are right, some are wrong. Caveat emptor.

Time to turn up the heat. In this post I am calling our Vivi57.

The clue link I explained above: a bunch of superstitious savages with spears, leaving behind a message that sacrifices to the gods should be made.

Time for posting behavior:

ok, I've been (slowly) raeding through the thread and it keeps growing faster than I'm reading.

One thing I've realized is that clues are going to be MUCH more important than in other games and behavioral analysis much less useful. Behavioral analysis is based on the idea that townies will spend their time looking for mafia and that mafia will attempt to fake that, but will not actually be looking. In this game, that doesn't work at all because *everyone* is hunting mafia whether they're mafia or townie.


Got that? Clues are MUCH more important in this game. Now lets see what he tells us in his first and only long post, where he argues Ace and BC are heads of the two mafia families:

On February 16 2010 17:14 Vivi57 wrote:
ok, ver sent me this pm and I was going to send it back to him, but since I haven't done much yet, I'll just post it here

tl;dr: Ace and bc are in the same family with redtooth as a likely third member

ok, this whole post is going to be what I think as I read the every post of bc and ace's. Honestly, the reason I haven't been posting much is because the thread's been growing way too fast and I've been playing more poker and putting less time into mafia.

I completely agree with bc as head of one mafia family. You pointed out his mayor post, but he also mentioned that he won't touch clues till day 3 under the premise that there's no point, just what he did in the game where he was traitor.

bc is also defending ace so it might be possible they're on the same team. then he says he can't make a plan because it'll be hard to come up with, easy to stop. either he's a lazy townie or mafia.

yep, even more mafia. He basically uses the defense that his team wouldn't give him gf in the exact position where he *would* want to get gf.

the next bit of posts are pretty bad, he's putting a ton of effort into stopping discussion and basically telling everyone that their methods are bad rather than actually trying to hunt mafia.

more DONT LYNCH ACE! ...but emp is a good lead!

the he posts some forced day1 clue analysis after he spends a *long* time saying that analysis should be worthless and ignored.

Combine that with something he said in msn to me: "I wish I was special " and you have a great case against bc.



now on to ace. Alot of the stuff ace said, I just kinda skimmed over the first time and ignored because all he does is scream. Let's see what a more careful analysis has to offer:

starts off with a couple OMGUS posts, standard. Then he spends a bunch of time saying how clues are useless. I agree, behavior *is* more important than clues.

Although, Ace is putting so much effort into convincing everyone that the clues don't point that it definitely makes him suspect.

His strategy seems to be "lynch anyone who really wants to kill me" which while amusing doesn't do much of anything. Then he goes off about one of his million policy lynches, this time "lynch anyone who starts a wagon that ends in townie blood."

Ace makes a subtle defense of redtooth, the only player besides himself he's defended the entire game.

CLAIMS GREEN

even after that, ace and redtooth keep mentioning each other. There's a very interesting dynamic going on between them and especially when you see redtooth post "Ace and I can't both be mafia." At this point, I'm fairly sure ace and redtooth are in the same mafia family.

then we have some voteswitching so that ace can have the election exactly the way he wants, oddly enough putting L into pardoner.

I haven't seen ace do anything useful on day1 other than telling everyone they suck and repeating that he's town over and over.



I do agree with the theory that ace and redtooth are mafia together, but I'm not the least bit convinced that bc and ace would be heads of opposite mafia families. I'm sure bc is head of one, but ace and bc are either in the same family or ace actually *is* innocent.

The most interesting here is that bc spent a while defending ace, but ace didn't even mention bc ONCE. I'm going to go with bc and ace in the same family with redtooth as a likely third member.

Original Message:
So it doesn't take a genius to see that you are hiding something this game. Now just what is it?

Currently my analysis of the situation looks like the mafia have BC and Ace as the head of two families. What do you think of this?

I'm expecting a certain type of response from you. Don't let me down


Wait a minute: is it clues or behavior we should be looking at? I forget, that piece of breathtaking analysis left my head in a fog.

Then we get this nice pearl of advice for the town:

On February 17 2010 06:41 Vivi57 wrote:
noone would kill a confirmed medic, claiming medic is just a risk because the other family might think the "medic" is mafia trying to claim.

A legit medic wouldn't be hit because from the mafia's point of view, any hit that's not on the other family is a miss.


Please explain good Sir.

There were a possible 7 hits last night, 3 from each family and 1 bomb.


Maybe I am missing something, but doesn't the mad hatter have 2 bombs?

I do think it likely BC used his bomb, so Ver should be quite safe.

Ver's innocence is extremely likely. However, it is only "proven" if we assume BC placed his bomb. So... I think DTs should claim to Ver. Medics, I don't think so. They should protect Ver - he is our coordinator now, but stay under cover just in case we see one mafia losing 7 members to 1 from the other.

I promised to be distrustful, no?

So now we're down to citi.zen, l10f, Ver, and redtooth. I'm betting at least one of these guys is scummy. I doubt it's Ver, redtooth's been afk, citi.zen's still been contributing, and l10f has been afk. meh

I would contribute more but watching people play SC2 is just too big of a priority right now -_-

maybe more thinking later

The only way anything is crumbling is if Very is red. Otherwise the town has won, and this game is pretty boring. Noyhing else worth saying.
