I actually changed my check between you, BrownBear and RoL several times then told myself to stop worrying about it and just go with someone.

I acknowledge that I do stupid things when I feel like I'm under pressure.

No because it would actual make sense to check brownbear, but on the small possibility that you are being sincere, checking me was an absolutely idiotic thing to do for a DT and I'm suprised @ you, I thought I was meant to be the one who did stupid things xD

Original Message:
*shrug* Probably was, but I'd be having an identical conversation with BrownBear should he have flipped green.

Original Message:
I would have been prepared to consider the possibility had you not said you checked me, for the record that was your mistake.

Sigh, I actually didn't think you would trust me - probably because I didn't trust you in the first place. I'd ask you to stop taking things at face value and consider why I did the things I did, but I was wrong to expect other people to think the same way I do or even try to understand what I'm doing when I've been going about things in a deliberately confusing way.

The way I thought was thus: if we get 3 confirmed alive townies by Day 3, counting myself - then we win, by process of elimination. And to make sure they survive, they need to be pretty loudmouthed and suspicious of each other in public (of course, allied in private). The Mafia should then target the voices of reason, and by Day 3 all of a sudden our three stooges come together and out the mafia, right there and then. I don't even have to claim DT publicly if the plan works - but the mafia would know what's up.

Of course, the problem is that if I were mafia, the strategy wouldn't really need to change at all. Funny thing, that.

Again, if you actually want to lynch me, I don't really blame you, since I turned this game into a total crapshoot with the Johnny lynch. Be careful of whoever else jumps on the lynch wagon with you, if you do decide to change your mind.

GG yo~

You are clearly mafia and I shall do my utmost to have you lynched, wasting a vote on me, hell I am confirmed without you needing to check and your too intelligent not to realise that so thanks for confirming. I personally think your partner in crime is Hobbes but guess I'll see how we go. If you manage to persuade them not to believe me//lynch you tomorrow then guess you deserve the win...

I thought I implied that I checked you tonight. If it wasn't clear, I'll just say this again - I checked you.

Check brownbear tonight and see what he flips.

Congratulations, you are now confirmed to be townie, not the Medic - which is what I was actually hoping you were. I am the Detective. I checked [nyc]hobbes on night 1, who also flipped town. I have enlisted the help of Korynne, who I decided to explicitly trust with all of my previous information.

My original intent was to play as scummy as possible yesterday without actually getting myself lynched, so that the next day the Mafia would leave me alive and try to get me lynched the following day when they can point to my scummitude. In the meantime, I would be checking players and establishing a town circle by PM. I apologize for the previous deception.

Given last night's recent shenanigans, though, I'd actually fully expect you not to trust me too readily. I'd been discussing the possibility of johnny being mafia with Hobbes last night, and we thought it might have been a good idea to switch. By the end of the day, though, I thought it would be perfectly acceptable to lynch BrownBear today even if he did flip green, as it would narrow the possibilities down by tomorrow.

Unfortunately, Hobbes pulled his vote off, and I panicked and made an accusation on Johnny that I hardly even believed myself after rereading it a second time... and then Johnny died and flipped green. It was a bit of a shame.

I actually would have been okay with pulling off this maneuver if there was more time to transpire, more dialogue, etc. so that it wouldn't be revealed that there was a likely PM circle between the three of us. But unfortunately at this point I am shaking my head and raging on the inside. I expect either myself, Hobbes or Korynne to die tonight.

On that note, if Korynne dies, you are put in a unique position of deciding whether or not me/Hobbes or Brownbear/RoL is more trustworthy. If you voted against me, I wouldn't really blame you.

If I/Hobbes dies, then you'll know the other is absolutely trustworthy. As I said before, my gut read of Korynne is green, and unless she says something blatantly red I don't expect my opinion of her to change.

And if you die, well - you can always ask Bill about the roles to confirm how retardedly risky I've been playing. It's true that I *do* have a way of overthinking things, but considering RoL is was my biggest suspect for being Mafia, I wanted to be sure I could baffle him for a second.

Well, if I die and we lose, then we all know who to blame! Good luck.

alas I am allowed! I can't really respond too much right now, I am writing a major research paper atm. By tomorrow I will have virtually all my work for the remaining two weeks of school done and can actually be really active after the fact. When I will do the majority of my posting will be tomorrow night after 10 when I get home from work. I will give my two mafia suspects since we don't have bullshit time anymore.

I just need to reread the entire thread and take more notes then I will have my suspects with 24 hours to make a decision on which one of them we feel more strongly against.

I will however respond to my thoughts on Cresentia. Claiming to "Act like mafia" is fucking retarded for so many reasons, especially if you are a power role. Pretending to be mafia will serve the purpose of drawing the ire of the town (especially Day 1) which is fucking horrible. IF he really is a detective that was the dumbest move he could of made, if we actually lynched him we would be in deep shit just like in MicroMafia2 when Vivi died the first day to a lynch.

On that note I was suspicious of him to begin with, if he PMed you yesterday/tonight with that PM I would say it could be a mafia power play to try to perfect the game. If you think about it they need one more mislynch and we automatically lose the game. He could be trying to build support of himself from PMing a few players in order to get the votes required for him to force the lynch on an innocent.

Since you say you feel you have played an obvious townie to everyone, I would say any mafia with DECENT behavior analysis skill could probably pin you out as not blue (since they have an idea of the game format anyway) he could of claimed to you having a good idea of you being green and building support preemptively for his game winning lynch.

What I would advise you to do is keep talking to him, however watch out for anyone who votes with him and do NOT do as he says entirely. Use your brain and make the most LOGICAL decision. Reread MULTIPLE times before making your vote because with 4 players down they need 4 to get a lynch since its autolynch@majority, that means if you see someone get two votes on them be careful to place that third vote because the mafia can easily force the lynch at that moment and end the game.

We need to be VERY careful and utterly certain before casting any single vote on the next day because it opens up the ability for the mafia to force a mislynch.

Tomorrow I am going to be inactive most of the day (until about 10 at night as I said above) so I would ask if you would post my above warning about the certainty we must take before casting a vote, since 2 wrong votes on a person means the mafia can force the bad lynch.

On that note I want you to know this right now and keep an eye out and stay vigilant. The mafia are most likely going to get sloppy the next day. They are going to get overzealous with the possibility at finishing the game so keep an eye out, reread every post during tomorrow. Anyone who is posting a LOT especially if they are continuously attacking one person is most likely a mafia trying to aggressively finish the game.

Stay vigilant and we can still take this back, lets hope my analysis is up to scratch as it has been the last few games.

If you have been following the game it should be fairly clear to you I am green.

Cresentia has roleclaimed detective to me and also claimed he has checked me and I have come back green (he is correct in this, I am green), however from following the thread it is obvious that I am green or pro-town without needing to check, his wasting of a check on me is enough in itself to tell me he is lying in his detective claim and is red.

In my opinion, before his PMing me it seemed fairly obvious that the two mafia lie in either cresentia, hobbes and Kor, my instinct being Cresentia and Hobbes, cresentia for this development and other thing's I've outlined in the thread and I guess you can add his vote for Johnny on top of that, Hobbes because of his manner of kinda keeping under the radar, not overly engaging in analysis and getting away with posting little of value but enough to semi-justify his votes.

Ofc Kor is a possibility too.

All of this is highly dependant on you being green however, or blue although I personally think that the set up this game is 2 mafia 7 greens.

Anyway respond yo, you might not be allowed back in the game but whilst you still can I want your input ^^

So this may be hard to believe, but I am actually the third townie. I realize you're probably skeptical given my level of activity + voting for d3 yesterday, but I was following similar logic to you for believing that d3 was mafia (he was making some fun, hilarious bonehead choices + drawing attention to himself).

So, for what it's worth, I'm townie. I have sent a similar PM to Hobbes.
