 Comparing a 200 page game to a 20 page game is a little pointless but for what it's worth RoL played similarly in that game (I'm looking at page 120-121). I'll pass it off as him being tired for now :/ also DrH is playing a little differently but I'm not reading anything significant from that. This is all pretty pointless at right now but it may help later.I also finished reading everyones profiles and I'd like to congratulate the person who has Shakespeare for improving my evening immensely :D. Other then that I didn't actually find anything very significant that hasnt already been mentioned but this is my first game with clues so the chances of me missing something subtle are larger than I'd like. Anyway I have a midterm in the morning and it's 12:40 AM PT so I need to sleep. See ya'lls tomorrow. | ||

Night 0 Killings: + Show Spoiler + BloodyC0bbler had been busy late into the night, as per usual for a man of his stature. Gazing down at his desk, he was busy staring holes into recent police reports of increased crime activity. The town eliminated all crime years ago, so any reports of crimes of this scale, and in this frequency disturbed the mayor deeply. Taking a brief break, BloodyC0bbler took a walk from the town hall, wandering throughout the town. Crime he thought, so unlikely in his town. Making his way down to the city center, he gazed at the buildings as he passed, the shopping mall that had just been built, the school he went to when he was a kid, just farther down the way a series of small stores and restaurants. Making his way back the way he came, he stopped by the fountain in front of the office. It was there he noticed he was being followed. Turning, he saw a figure rush forward. The following morning, the town would discover the mayor BloodyC0bbler dead and floating in the town fountain. onihunter did this killing, and we used the fact that he was a swimmer and a student, ergo the fountain and school. Incognito the Pardoner, through his tremendous intuition, had sensed that something was to go down last night. Whilst in his office finishing his work, he deflected no less than five assassination attempts, ranging from sniffing poison in his coffee cup to leaping out of the way from a thrown knife while walking down the hallway. Dedicated and passionate to his job, Incognito would not let any threat deter him from furthering the prosperity of the town. By 11:00, he had finished everything, and after securing all the windows and other entrances into the building, he prepared to leave for the night. However, on his way out, he passed by the receptionist’s desk, and then something bad happened. Somebody had forgotten to turn off the printer, and it was on the point of overheating. Incognito recognized the danger and started backing away quickly, but in one freak moment, the printer exploded and showered Incognito with burning hot ink, hitting him in the face. As Incognito ran outward toward the street to escape, he was struck by a speeding car. MTF was right: the whole killing is based off of improbability. The fact that Incognito dodges five assassination attempts, only to be blinded by an overheating printer and run over by a speeding car speaks of improbability, and we used crate's Feynman quote for this. Had either of the DTs cluechecked the bolded parts, I would have returned with a positive answer. Night 1 Killings: + Show Spoiler + As jiabung's body swayed in the air, the town began to disperse. They had not killed a Mafia member on the first night, so the people dispersed quickly, knowing that death would be coming for them. Townspeople disappeared back to their homes, to wait out the night armed with shotguns behind hastily constructed barricades. However, after everybody else had left ElyAs stayed behind. He walked up to jiabung's body still hung, and began to inspect jiabung, perhaps looking for clues. However, after a few minutes he became aware of another presence, and nervously backed down from the steps, and started on his way home. A masked figure followed him, and stealthily kept to the shadows, not letting ElyAs out of his sight. ElyAs moved quickly, breaking into a quick run, hoping to make it back home before he was overtaken. However, he was not to make it. As ElyAs passed by the town courthouse, he noticed that he had already been beaten--the masked figure was sitting on the steps. ElyAs gasped, but in an instant his life had been snuffed out, and the killer walked away with a bloodied knife. This contained two clues: the persona of the spy and the sense of justice in the last line of the haiku in Hugoboss21's profile. Barth was spending the night safely indoors. He was at his desk in his library, looking at the pictures of the recently deceased town leaders through his magnifying glass. After carefully analyzing the pictures, he realized he was no step closer to solving this crime. He got up and moved to his bedroom, and began to get ready for bed. After climbing into the bed, he turned off his light and turned to see his drapes flutter in the wind. He moved to them and saw his window open, shaking his head and not remembering opening the window, he moved to close it. As he reached out to grab the handle, he felt a weight push against him, and he went tumbling out the window. A sickening crack was heard, and the lifeless eyes of barth gazed up at the sky. BC wrote this one--all I know was that it had something to do with the dudes in bumatlarge's profile. Snag him sometime to ask! Night 2 Killings: + Show Spoiler + It was pyr0ma5ta's night off from his job, and so he was headed back home. He walked slowly and deliberately, scanning the crowd for any signs of mafia. He knew that the mafia might target him for this, but it was his job. After the last townsperson had left the town square, pyr0ma5ta picked up the pace. However, he failed to notice that somebody was pursuing him as he made his way back home. pyr0ma5ta lived on the outskirts of town, and he had almost made it back home before he sensed somebody behind him. However, pyr0ma5ta was undeterred, and slowly turned around, reaching for the handgun that he kept hidden in his back pocket. Before he could withdraw the gun though, something flew through the air, blinding pyr0ma5ta as it hit him in the face. As he clawed at the suffocating object, it released an electrical shock that brought pyr0ma5ta to his knees. As he lay there, stunned, he heard footsteps approaching him. The last thing pyr0ma5ta would hear was the sound of his killer's heavy breathing. What can I say? Darth Vader. Heavy breathing and force lightning. I loved the image of people kneeling at Vader's feet  AcrossFiveJulys was on the prowl this night, he knew full well that in this city, it had become a survival of the fit. He was hoping that the mafia would slip up, and creeping up and down streets through the shadows, and checking every alley revealed nothing. Sighing, he moved into the local bar that he knew would still be open at this hour. Snagging a pint from the bar, and then sitting down in a booth, he sighed in frustration. After he finished his beer, he ordered another, then another. By the end of the night AcrossFiveJulys had no idea who stabbed him, but he was left dead all the same. First part deals with Lions. Second part with the number 3. Night 3 Killings: + Show Spoiler + The night was long for the pardoner yellowink and his companion laxercannon. Together the men had the pictures of all the previous crimes laid out, and were scrutinizing them intensely. After hours of fruitless work, the two decided to adjourn for the night and pick up where they left off after. They departed the town hall, and turned and walked separate ways. Yellowink began to walk past the gallows when he heard a sound from behind him. Turning, he saw LaXercannon get attacked from behind. As yellowink began to move forward to help, he felt a sudden explosion of pain in his legs. Collapsing, he watched as a man stood over him, then dragged him up to the gallows. As the rope was placed around his neck, he watched as laxercannon bled out over the ground. The town then found Yellowink hanging from the gallows comes morning. Remember, Hugoboss21 commits his crimes in conventional places of justice--the courthouse, and now the gallows used to execute the accused. Once again, bumatlarge for LaXerCannon. I have no clue  | ||

As a town I am generally more aggressive, while as mafia I am more conservative with what I do. Although I think the play styles would be harder to tell apart, I think a distinct difference which I know I used to make and work to rectify is that as mafia I will be more focused on a few individuals while as town I will focus on many. The reason being is as mafia its harder to create a fake case that you can believe in and believing the viability of what you are telling people is the most key part to any game as mafia. When you are lying you have to know your story has as few holes and logical inconsistencies as possible. If you look at Merc mafia and read how I played I made sure not to mimic previous play styles and played hyper aggressive, although that could be attributed to the fact that Annul/LD teaming up would of lead to our demise. If you read what I wrote from my perspective I was much more coherent than Annul and my points kind of stuck together and I rarely attempted to make huge jumps. Only at the end did it become much harder to keep my story but that was due to the complexity of the game and the hassle that contracts created. I think the biggest tell I have as mafia is my behavior on AIM. I generally obsess over mafia games and read it for hours and hours each day until I die. As town I tend to post whenever I feel like it but as mafia I only post when I feel it is necessary. IE: I will feign inactivity to avoid commenting on a situation, or make sure I wait until its too late to reverse a stupid band wagon. Usually if I do the latter I will purposely try to divert the lynch to a team mate that way if either one of us dies it makes the other look better via wifom. Now as far as this game goes, I am honestly just tired and I know this game is going to be a fucking shitstorm if you guys haven't learned ANYTHING from previous games. If you took NOTHING from Salem, if you took NOTHING from PYP3 then this game is going to be fucking gay as shit and we are going to get RAPED. Let me explain why. In those games people flipped and eventually you kind of got an idea if someone was full of shit after 3 mislynches, but in this you don't know if something is a mislynch so you can have one asshole doing clue and behavioral analysis killing town left and right and you don't know if hes right or wrong. If everyone is focusing on that one person to champion them to victory you are going to doom us. Especially if the mayor is mafia. The ONLY way to confirm if any mafia have died is with 2 census reports. One today on mafia count and one somewhere down the line. The problem with that is if the mafia gets mayor we have no idea if we are on the right track and could easily get manipulated into having another game where we have 9/10 mislynches. Here is how we counter this. Everyone fucking analyze everything. Do not EVER let one person do all the work, to win this game the town has to keep analyzing. Everyone has to analyze and we have to decide what has the most merit as a collective. If you have a few people doing analysis we will lose in this game faster and harder then in any other set up. Seriously guys. This isn't a fucking boot camp, this isn't some let us baby you set up. In this set up if you are lazy, if you fuck up, you lose us the game. This game requires an effort from EVERY townie to actually win and fuck if we get a mafia mayor then we are fucked. If any single person seems to be trying to take control of the town and who we lynch that is suspicious because channeling our lynches on the thoughts of one person who we can't prove there worth is going to make us die. Now to business. I ain't fucking mafia. If you make me the mayor I will do everything I can to ensure that we stay organized and have EVERYONE doing analysis. If you aren't going to put work into analysis then you need to get the fuck out of the game the express way, via death. Anyone who is scared to contribute is most likely mafia not wanting to be suspicious and if you refuse to contribute you should be considered top of the list suspicious. Now onto why I think the other candidates suck. DoctorHelvetica is okay and organizing the town but he ALWAYS takes a too central role and runs around in circles chasing his own tail until the mafia decide to put him out of his misery. Look at Salem. If this game is played like Salem where everyone just agrees on what one person says we are going to lose, and we are going to lose hard. DoctorHelvetica has never proven himself able to handle the town without putting too much focus on himself. The worst part about this is his town play that I have seen for mayor would play so hard against us, and if hes mafia he just has to do the same shit and keep the town tunneled and making bad decisions and we are boned. DoctorHelvetica will be an EXTREMELY dangerous mayor to have one way or the other and he is not worth the risk. Kavdragon I feel a lot better about. He's a pretty level headed guy in the games I played with him and as he showed in Merc Mafia hes not above manipulating the shit out of people. Although he is a nice guy and I don't know if he could be direct enough to yell at people and get people killed when it comes down to it. Can you berate someone until they contribute and do what you want? Can you do the analysis and the follow through to take down scum? I know Kavdragon is decent but I don't think he has the experience like I do for this position. Although I don't believe he is mafia. I haven't seen him play a game as mafia yet and he seems like the cautious type who wouldn't put himself out there without experience. What I mean by that is if Kav was mafia I think he would play more layed back because hes not as familiar with what to do, while if he was town he would be more outgoing and confident in his play and run for mayor. Those are my current thoughts on the election. I obviously think I am better qualified than anyone else for the position and I think I am our best bet to victory. Overall though the best chance for victory is in the towns collective efforts. This is the game where all the mafia has to do is shut down the active contributors and win because we are in the dark. However if the whole town is active that plan doesn't exist for them. The only way to win this game is through overwhelming effort and activity. Lets the last game I play show that TL town's have learned something from bootcamp, let this game show that even when a game forces the town to use every ounce of cunning we have to win that we can step up and do it. Let this be the game where the town overcame the mafia. | ||

Let this be the game where the town overcame the mafia. I think you do far too much to discount DrH's ability as a pro-town leader. He is generally good at pinning pro-town players and identifying scum. A lot of people should read back through the games he has played in to understand how much of a power-player DrH can be when he's pro-town, and as well as mafia. If I had to pick between RoL and DrH for mayor, it would be DrH. Both candidates have been active pro-town players, and I've worked with both of them in separate games. They are both great assets to the town, but they both open up their mouths to one too many people and that's usually the moment of their demise. DrH trusted SouthRawrea, who was mafia godfather... RoL trusted Meapack in HP mafia, who was a serial killer I believe... I don't really remember this one. It might have been LSB actually from HP mafia who was mafia. Don't quote me on that. My issue is that RoL is spending more time boasting his playstyle than actually suggesting how we will win. It's great to lay out your resume but you're not really throwing out many ideas that I would say "yah he can do it better than DrH." I don't like the vet claiming idea. That's incredibly scummy... The problem is if we end up with a mafia mayor we are really losing the census ability as well as our vet's secrecy, which is the backbone of their role. Anyone who thinks "vet claiming" is a good idea should look at the mafia 101 threads. That's generally bad scum-play. | ||
