Quite simply I have wanted to try an electorate role since the first game I played in, I ran for election in that one as well and guess what? I was Town.
Why have I been supporting Bill?
Quite frankly he strikes me as someone who is town and I was getting irritated//suspicious of L's constant emphasis on lynching him, personally can't see how he is not the one being lynched at this point but I guess if I or more importantly Bill flip green then the town will consider the fact that he could be mafia
D3 You brought up a point about being more worried about my self pledged confidence in ability to detect town//mafia this game.
In my own opinion I have improved at this in general the more games I've played, not actually been great at catching mafia, quite the reverse, but have been good at identifying town just on the way they post.
Incog you mentioned 1) I said i would not be able to be very active as I had a essay due on the 12th. 2) I then put myself forward for mayor as well as try to instigate a no inactivity rule 3) I ask you to publically give your reasons for voting Malongo
Firstly I wanted to do the paper and get it out of the way without distractions so didn't plan on keeping up with the thread untill it was over//done, couldn't hack it ended up going over the thread as well as playing HoN//BW that night, unfortunately I find it hard to knuckle down and committ myself to study.
Secondly, already stated why I ran for office, Think I have improved and it is something I've wanted to do since my very first game, also the inactivity rule I still think is a good idea and people just plain ignored it, tried to bring it up again at numerous points but no-one even responded as to their thoughts on it. If you thought it was a bad idea THEN SAY SO, don't bring it up at a late point in the game as a reason to lynch me.
Thirdly, I don't even get how this makes me suspicious, asking you to publically state your reasons for voting Malongo? At the time he was someone I was considering as well but apart from his runnning for mayor and going inactive there was little else to suggest his being mafia so I wanted you to provide your reasons. If I was mafia you really think I would want to bring even more attention to someone trying to lynch a fellow mafia? bullshit.
I'm plain town, i've rolecalled now and lynching me I guarantee would be a complete waste, when I flip green then lynch L, he has been acting scummy the entire game and getting away with it.

"Why I ran for Election" was missed out at the top, was ctrl+c/v'ing, trying to respond to mass people giving poor//inconsisten reasons why I am mafia is difficult...

It is a critical point of the game. I am trying to help you all. You can drastically improve your chances with 4/17 or 3/17. You have a 0% chance of 3/17 if you lynch me. I am a town member. I hope the town can finally see that since I am trying to be helpful, and to want what is best and good for this town. I'd love to win.
If I was looking for a red, I would definitely be looking at where people voted, posts someone has made, and where the person was aligned. To me, it looks like it would be someone who was voting for L. The fact that L claims that mafia won't vote to try to get someone into office, and was generally mad about losing the election in which he really wanted pardoner while scummily claiming he wanted to be mayor. L was the true mayoral candidate, and tries to clear his name forcing Malongo to die since L posted right after Malongo's candidacy that he was probably the Mafia candidate. He would be cleared of the format, and made into Godfather by his team where he was the only veteran. L would then proceed to pick Mad Hatter because it is only accounted for posthumously. Malongo could say that the epic Chilean Earthquake devastated his IP and voila he would at most have a 1 game ban if any at all depending on the host. L then goes on to say RC me, Bus me, Focus on me I'm clean, and would have been saying "I pardon my red buddies." If I hadn't been a thorn in his side for that one, too. Glad that wasn't a vivi 2.0. By confusing the people in office and bein the one privately pming them whispering in their ears like wormtongue he can abuse them into doing what he wants them to do. He is being very manipulative having you all kill a person who is trying to help the town win moreso than any other player!!!!!!! Don't let him manipulate you. Be strong. He's wanted to kill me all game people! The Mafia will try to hide my post, trust me, this will get spammed to death if not tonight, before everyone wakes up. L is over 5% likely to be mafia, (1/18) and I am 0%. This is the only knowledge I have to impart to you all. I understand that you all believe that people say this no matter what their color, but I am seriously not a liar. I have been blue once, and I roleclaimed detective day 1 in a pm... maybe night 1... yeah. lol. I don't know what I'd do as red, because i haven't been blessed with being red yet.
I say let's lynch L, see if I blow up, and then if he's red and we improve by 6% vs 4/17 (3/17), awesome. If he's really the mad hatter, we see fireworks, more awesome.
I am open to other targets, but he really does have a strong case against himself.
Thank you for posting. Sadly, this wall of text says nothing. You include an abhorrent misuse statistics, base your accusation on a conspiracy theory against L, and really fail to use any solid logic.
I agree with tree.hugger. Fairly suspicious character imo. If you think you townies can slack off because all the blues have it together, you're wrong. Just because we know the blues doesn't mean its insta win. Come out and prove your innocence so we don't accidentally lynch you. Don't wait until you feel the pressure to defend yourself. It just makes you look more suspicious.
Honestly Bill, why are l10f's and madnessman's posts more suspicious than you/XeliN? Don't say "because I'm green".
XeliN:
In my own opinion I have improved at this in general the more games I've played, not actually been great at catching mafia, quite the reverse, but have been good at identifying town just on the way they post.
This is as incriminating as d3's observation. As you know, the mafia know who is and isn't innocent. It wouldn't be hard for you to magically know who is town and who isn't if you were mafia. While this is not solid and incriminating in itself, it can't be ignored.
If you thought it was a bad idea THEN SAY SO, don't bring it up at a late point in the game as a reason to lynch me.
I'm not saying that enforcing activity is a bad idea. In fact, I strongly support anti-inactivity measures. However, this is not about policy. It is about consistency. You have been anti-activity from day 1. But you haven't been the most active yourself. And the activity you do have is quite suspicious. I'm not trying to lynch you because you had an anti-activity stance. I'm accusing you because your words contradict your actions. Like BM, stop defending yourself and start producing content if you want me to believe you.
At the time he was someone I was considering as well but apart from his runnning for mayor and going inactive there was little else to suggest his being mafia so I wanted you to provide your reasons.
Your post asking for reasoning on Malongo....was already given by the time you posted this. And if you suspected Malongo initially, why did you vote for Abenson? Why did you ignore mentioning Malongo in the post above? You mentioned voting for Abenson because "he has not even posted recently and as far as I can tell has contributed nothing". The same holds true for Malongo, and Malongo was even more suspicious given that his behavior was different from previous games. Given your generic reasons for voting Abenson, you did not take the time to look at other equally suspicious people, and decide to ignore Malongo even though "there was little else to suggest [Abenson]'s being mafia" either. And yes, you might want to bring more attention to a fellow mafia if you knew that that mafia was inactive anyway. Or if you thought that your supposedly harmless question could get people to doubt lynching Malongo.
Either way, I'm considering changing my vote to the Godfather. What do you all think?

OK. I’ve sat down carefully going through all possibilities with respect to L, BC and Incognito. Having done that, I am now reasonably reassured we're in good shape and can trust BC, at the very least. If BC and the "other DT" live through another night, Incognito looks pretty legitimate as well.
BC, L, Incognito possibilities:
1. All are town. Great stuff.
2. All are red. Highly unlikely. The 2nd DT story must be true, otherwise it’s both unnecessary and very risky (remember, in this scenario we’re assuming BC is red, so that would make 2 “fake” DTs, which would look incredibly suspect to the real DT, who would call them out at some point). Given then that the 2nd DT story is likely true, and they checked sidersprang/L, then L must be GF if red at all. However, it seems unlikely he would choose GF over BC in this case, I just don't see it.
So while remotely possible, it seems extremely unlikely all 3 are red. Finally, if all 3 are red and were contacted by this 2nd DT, the DT would be dead by now. The “other DT’s” blind faith in Incognito is still bothersome, but it would help explain why he chose sidersprang too, using Incognito’s (bad-idea) DT check-list.
3. Two are red, 3rd one is not. 3a. In + BC are red, L is blue. I don’t see this as a possibility: L would know they were wrong about his role (unless they guessed right – highly unlikely). 3b. L + BC are red, In is not. Again, highly unlikely, BC can’t pass night 2 test from In unless he is implausibly lucky. 3c. L + In are red but BC is not. Could happen, but would require L to be GF to pass DT checks.
4. One is red, others are not. BC can’t be red if the other two are not – he’d have to get hugely lucky on both nights. If L is red and the others are not, he’d have to be GF. In could obviously be anything-aligned.
Conclusions:
BC is very likely blue as claimed, in all scenarios. The only shadow of doubt is in the “all red” scenario, which seems extremely unlikely as explained above.
L may be red under scenarios 4 anc 3c, and would have to be GF in both cases. Given the timing of his initial soft-roleclaim this seems unlikely, but perhaps exercise some caution for another night.
Incognito could obviously be anything-aligned, but given the “other DT” is most likely real and still alive, he’s looking pretty blue now as well. I am comfortable voting for whomever you want, unless something goes seriously wrong here.

Incognito, I've stated literally 5 times that I was f5ing the thread and would have voted for Malongo if he wasn't going to be modkilled. drop that, please.

Oh, you were talking to Xelin there

Since he was inactive, he was an ideal person for the mafia to sacrifice to burnish their own townie credentials.

This has happened many times in terms of distribution, for those that doesnt know rol distribution is not completely random. B) Having a mafia in the office is a lot worse this game imo. At least other times/games mafia member in the office was reduced to a)troll the town as long as he could, b) waste any resources given to him. Normally this ends up with a lynch day 2~4 because it gets plain obvious when the mafia official is not doing what he meant when he was running and because theres not that much he can do to hurt the town. However, with 2 KP and noclue setup it is highly unlikely that a mafia official can be spotted that quickly. C) Blues should be running for the office. However this is not completely sure in this case, since Incognito, BC and L are good enough to run even with a less powerful rol /green or vet/ D) Activity is the only thing we can get other than votes to nail mafia. In this case im afraid a lot of players have misunderstood active with "posting". As long as we spam less important stuff it is as if we werent posting. Not trying to be a douche, but please try to be as accurate and put some weight in the posting. This is critical to help the town identify if you are really trying to help or just posting to note that you are not inactive. E) There are various nonvoters up to now. This is scary as hell combined with A. With just 1~3 mafia in this list we are going to get in trouble. 8. johnnyspazz 10. sidesprang 17. d3_crescentia 18. L 21. Foolishness 25. BloodyC0bbler So with all these things im proposing myself to fill one of the spots. Malongo is Running For Officials My platform is based on:A) I have a "decent" skill at reading the strategy from the mafia. This has been agreed from various veteran players. Most of the time i work on my own private analisys that i put up when it is better for the town. B) I feel im very valuable at the middle~late game state. I ve came up with some half decent plays like the ghetto checklists, and other stuff from the setup. C) Im a town player in the sense that i ve always tried my best to support the town. If it is good for the town to sacrifice me ill do it gladly.
D) I always come up with this at the begginnig of the game: first day is more than anything a random start, where we cant be sure about anything. If my process is right there is at least one mafia in those 3. That is a high chance that we will put a good mafia player in the office. By adding myself at this stage im giving another chance to the town since it is quite unlikely that there are 2 or 3 mafias running in a group of 4. Thats it. I expect my late run doesnt look really that weird since it is likely that i dont get votes anyways ![](/mirror/smilies/puh2.gif) Show nested quote +On March 12 2010 16:12 L wrote: Oh hey, good of you to join the party.
Did you finally get picked for the mafia team? If not, are you claiming blue by running? Who would you kill if voted mayor and who would you like to get voted in if you can't get in?
Sleep time, but I EXPECT ANSWERS. Malongo admits he won't be getting any votes. If he knew he wasn't going to be getting any votes, and was admitting that there could be 2 mafia candidates out of 4, I have to believe that the real reason he was running was to hide the candidacy of the Godfather, and clear their name. It would be easy to do this through sacrificing himself, which he says in his post that he doesn't mind doing. He is an old veteran, and a lot of veterans have learned that they can get more out of sacrificing theirself with a cool play than staying alive and being wasteful. I feel like this is what he was doing. In this format, he can just say that there's simply no way that the mafia will run 2 candidates. I'm fairly certain he has even said this.

Both of these posts above have been back to back posts, and I feel like they are incriminating even if they do not appear to be so on the outside. I feel as if these two are acting way too buddy-buddy with one another to merit their being green. I feel like they are aligned together on a red team. MadnessMan was horror stricken whenever L didn't get pardoner. Both voted for L with Malongo.
The reason they are more suspicious is in the last paragraph, here.

Also, the fact that they didn't ever want malongo killed when it was obvious to me he was red.

Also, there's no way in hell anyone can know Incognito's alignment. He doesn't even know it himself. He's neutral. He could be like the secret nazi, he could be town aligned, or he could be mafia aligned. There's really no way that anyone can know this.

I know my own alignment.

The reasons their posts are suspicious, and I guess you can't read, are because they were posted back to back multiple times. They literally post together in the thread, and MadnessMan even KNEW that l10f was online somehow, and asked his thoughts on something when he had been showing no activity in the thread whatsoever. I find that to be fishy. You're definitely the one being illogical. How is this not logical:
4 out of 17 players (after the lynch) are mafia. 23.5% 3 out of 17 players (after the lynch) are mafia 17.6% The likeliehood of me being mafia is 0% The only chance of having 25% less mafia in relation to theirselves and 6% in relation to the entirety of my team of townies is to not lynch me, as there is 100% likelihood that through lynching me it will be 4 mafia members out of 17 players.

I've just about given up on trying to help you all. It's like speaking to a wall.

Lol.
1. Where's your proof that he knew l10f was online. 2. This: "The likeliehood of me being mafia is 0%" is not logic.

voting BM just so he'll STFU.

it is logical to me, want me to post my PM saying I'm townie?

Oh also Foolishness come out here. Thanks.

and yes, i'm being sarcastic.

You all wanted me to make bigger posts, I did. You all wanted me to accuse people, I tried. WTF do you want me to do to get the town to not waste a lynch on a green?

I'm god's honest hand on bible trying to have you all not waste a lynch
