Along with that I think we can be fairly certain that either ilj or kita is the gf right? It makes more sense to me for kita to be the gf than ilj. ILJ has to work a ton and so he will have long periods of inactivity. Where as kita is one of the most active mafia players around. Just seems to make more sense to me for him to be gf than jonn.

And like you mentioned on this same page ilj's play this game has been consistent with his play in previous games right? Where as kita's play is different than his play in XXXVIII.

Huh what weird and funky thing could possibly happen with the night kill??? There would only be 4 people left alive. Even if someone left somehow was a veteran and they got hit it wouldn't buy us another lynch.

I don't want to kill elmizzit then get killed during the night and not get a vote in the most important lynch of the game. So I am going to vote for either kita or ilj today and like 95% I am leaving my vote on kita.

Why would we vote off inactives? We should leave them be. If they are mafia, well they aren't that much of a threat to us since they're not participating. On the other hand, if they're a townie then that'll just put a crutch in us. We'll lose a townie, PLUS we'd have wasted our votes.

People insisting that we vote off inactives just seems suspicious to me.

Scum aren't a threat????
I know where my vote is going.


Mafia slip :o Even if they do not participate in the discussion they still kill two of us. If they're inactive that means that they're lurking and don't want to get in to arguments to put suspicion on them so they do not get lynched. Pressuring inactives will make them active and find out if they're actually scum.


The dude was seriously pumped before the game and even said he'd be extremely active. Once he got his role he became a total lurker. As pointed out by someone else, most of his posts talks about lurkers and inactives yet he does not consider himself being one! Extremely suspicious to me. Seems to me he does not know what to do after getting the scum role and just pretends to be away.

On the second quote, notice how Cthsazsa raised a lot of suspicions as being scum. If we look at it this way, Beneather and Cthsazsa being on the same scum team, Beneather calling Cthsazsa on the mafia slip was like a little reminder from a person on your team. "Hey you slipped better watch what you say next time!" And then who does he decide to vote on at the end of the day? Kurumi! The easiest wagon to go on. If he thought Cthsazsa was scum, why didn't he decide to vote him?

##Vote: Beneather

This is the only hard evidence I've seen so far. I'm voting beneather for now unless he says something to change my mind.


Hey look, the scum are giving each other pats on the back for their analysis! How cute.


Well, beneather had stated that he was going to be "extremely active" then suddenly disappears once roles were distributed. At the time, this was the first argument that I felt wasn't based mostly on conjecture, which is why I backed it.

Is this going to be your only post of the day cycle? You're doing to good job blending in...


And all you're doing is vaguely questioning people. Post something solid.


Heh looks who's talking? You've got one post yourself this cycle. You mentioned you would post your thoughts tomorrow evening. We're still waiting.

Yea, I'm not a heavy poster in mafia, but I read everything.

And don't you think posting less would be sticking out, and posting more blending in?


No, posting less allows you to lurk with the 10 others that have only a handful of posts, including the guy you just voted against, Beneather. Posting more allows us to have a better idea of where you stand and will eventually result in scum slips if you are red.

Then why did I stick out to you?


Because I'm looking for scum. Are you concerned about sticking out?

Make up your mind. Am I doing a "to good job blending in" or sticking out?


The weirdest exchange in the entire thread. I call elm out for lurking and he responds that "posting less would be sticking out". How does this make any sense whatsoever? Does nobody else find this incredibly odd?


My beef here is more with the general application of lurker=mafia to every single situation. Explain to me this: if posting less is blending in, why did I seem more suspicious to you based on a low post count? Seems to me I stuck out more to you in this situation because I was posting less. When I asked you to clarify this contradiction, you dodged the question. Not that I blame you, as this is more of a theoretical dispute, not really relevant I guess. take it for what you will, I'm happy to discuss this further if anyone likes

Here's the spreadsheet with updated vote results.

http://uploadmirrors.com/download/LFRNBCMK/TL_mafia_xxxix_day_4.xlsx


First, the criteria again:
[image loading]


Day 3 was another really important vote, in hindsight, as sinani206 was revealed to be a red.
[image loading]

[image loading]


Day 4 didn't bring too many changes. Though the vote was close at the start of 12 hours, it was more because the reds didn't have the manpower to switch the lynch, rather than there being actually two contested results. And the data shows that.

How did it feel, having to choose between two of your own? lololol


Of course, in red's point of view, it'd be better to lose the new player whose every action had to be directed, and save the vet who could, given a miracle, survive... (ha)

Here's the summary.
[image loading]


I have more confidence in this, as it compiles 4 days of data, instead of just 2. But again, because I revealed the methodology before this, it is not completely impossible that the reds tried to coordinate and manipulate the procedures. I'll see about tweaking the factors the next time I play mafia.

To me, the data clearly shows that ilovejonn and AirbladeOrange are the remaining two reds.

Look dude, I appreciate your efforts with this statistical analysis, but the bottom line is, there is no way the conclusions can be accurate. Beyond the influence of intentional red manipulation, you simply don't have enough data to go on. Your sample size is pitifully small. It's not your fault, just a symptom of the game. It is far more beneficial to reach conclusions based on post content.


Discredits the spreadsheets since they implicate his buddy jonn.

I discredited the spreadsheets because they were complete horseshit lol. It's just straight up statistically invalid.

Perhaps. though usually a dt will go out of their way with a red check, but only hint in the thread with a green check. There is also the 1/7 chance he is the godfather to consider, which would invalidate the check.

I would be interested in hearing from elmizzit in particular about who he would rather see lynched today, elmizzit or ilovejonn.


EBWOP: AO or ilovejonn (unless he wants to lynch himself >.<)

I spent about 2 hours last night poring over both their respective post histories, and I have no idea which I would prefer to lynch. Theyre both pretty equally scummy imo, and it doesn't help that their vote patterns are nearly identical. =/ I am probably just terrible at analysis

I suppose based on forumite's semi-vouch for AO, I'd say ilj would be a better target for tonight.


So you're saying you spent 2 hours yet refuse to make an opinion on anything?

Scummy, scummy, scummy. Everyone re-read this post.

The remaining mafia are kita and dropbear.

First off, i've been wanting to look away from ilj for a while. It's far too quiet for the last couple days for the AO/ilj train to be true. A sign that scum is happy with the way the situation is, and feels zero pressure to intervene. Luckily the AO lynch stirred things up a bit. Since it looks like with my vote on kita, we have a confirmed lynch for him, I won't discuss him as much, but mig's analysis of him is pretty good.

However, Dropbear, seeing the game so close to a mafia victory, has gotten ridiculously sloppy. At this point, the scum strat is to bus kita for the cred for that 1 vital mislynch.

Kita is pretty much dead after mig's post, and the zero resistance he or anyone put up. First, dropbear puts up a token defense of kita, really just milks it.

Well well well. Kita needs an explanation.

The only thing I can see wrong with this, why did he vote for Irish_Punk13 on Day 1?

This could have been an attempt to buy early cred when there was no way he was getting lynched, or it could have been that he just got it right.


Mig smashes it, as DB had expected.

DB then builds rapport with an obvious townie, Mig:

But the main point people should consider is just the lack of effort kita has put into his arguments.

You played in XXXVIII with me and kita db. When kita had a read on a situation in that game he fought for what he thought was right. He was actively working to get people he thought were scum lynched.

This game how often have you seen kita actually fight to get who he thinks is the scummiest person lynched? He just posts his opinion then sits out and lets the town debate amongst themselves. Which is the perfect strategy for mafia since we have just been lynching townies.

I agree, he's completely different. The fact that he is still alive this late in the game despite being EASILY the biggest threat to Mafia if town is ridiculous too. He pretty much single-handedly destroyed our Mafia team last game.

The other factor to consider is that he is in PYP Insane, but he's shown he can be active.

I sure as hell trust you more than any of the other remaining players. I will join with you good sir!


More sucking up to build trust. He gives validation to Mig's suspicions by saying he was "going to say elmizzt as well". I'd bet that if Mig had said he wanted to shoot ilj, DB's post would read " ya, I was going to say ilj as well" :

I'm voting for ilovejonn for now, subject to change.


They voted together yesterday incidentally.


The rest of his posts are just more pushing for Mig to solidify his suspicions. DB is waaay too overenthusiastic to just get it done. At this point in the game, where one mislynch spells the end of the game, rushing headlong into a lynch is not the best townie play.

Well assuming kita is mafia then if he gets the town to mislynch this game mafia win. So if he is confident he could convince us to lynch ilj then he can easily say elmizzit is suspicious without fear. Also in a way that protects him in case we do lynch elmizzit. If we did then he can say see I told you him and ilj are the last 2 to try and get us to lynch ilj with 3 left.

For mafia to win they just need town to mislynch 1 time. They only need 1 of them to survive so no need for them to protect each other now.

Alright done.

Let's kill these motherfuckers.

Which part of that post worries you?

The fact that he's fingering elmizzt.

But then again at this late point in the game it would be hard NOT to get one out of two. Alright fuck it

Let's do this!


DB's whole attitude basically reads to me like scum smelling blood and getting overzealous.



Bam. Hook, line, and sinker. These are consecutive posts. He goes from "not having anything to say" to jumping right on the kita bandwagon. All I have to say is LOL.

Don't expect to hear from him again this cycle either. It's pretty obvious he is reading though. Dirty lurker.


Um, the "not having anything to say" was more of an explanation of why I hadn't posted much previously, and not a projection of future intentions. Also, yea you say that these were consecutive posts, but you fail to take into account that they were 57 (!) hours apart, and during that period, AO was mislynched, throwing town into turmoil.

I'm going to try to clarify my position: Yes. I haven't posted much. Why? I don't like to post on conjecture. I find it difficult to make an argument unless I'm completely (or very close to completely ) sure of my statements. I'm not the best creating analysis, but when focused, I'm more than happy to dismantle the bs that people come up with. With the fewer numbers of players in the game, and more variables taken out, it's become much easier for me to post, because I can do so with a much higher confidence level in my beliefs.

If everyone is forced to say what their role is it makes it slightly easier to show who's lying. From what I've read in old games it's standard practice when it gets to lategame.


At this point, everyone thinks elmizzt is mafia yes? We aren't sure about the others. Why not just kill the one everyone thinks is mafia? We can handle the last day and you never know what info can come up if we go another day.

We either take a punt on the potential gf now and have a 50/50 chance of losing today, or we kill elmizzt and go in with the same odds tomorrow with slightly more information. I don't see the point of risking everything on who the second Mafia is when we can get someone pretty much guaranteed today.

Scum only need one town to be wrong and they win. Obviously jonn and elm will be voting together on me. If you or dropbear vote for me, we lose.

Also, I did not pretend to give up. I actually did give up, until I decided to continue on with the "play to win" rule and others convinced me otherwise. Obviously it would have been good if I died so town could have stopped discussing whether or not I'm mafia, but if it truly did happen this game would have been over already. I don't disappear for long periods when people are suspicious of me. I actually AM not available. Okay, I tell you I go out, you say that's me being guilty of being inactive. I go out without posting a reason, you say I'm lurking when I'm under suspicion. Tell me what I should do?


9 times out of 10 its the mafia that give up and say things like "lynch me", hoping no one calls their bluff. Just look at that dirty mole from PYPI. People are saying your play this game is consistent with other games, but have you given up then? No, because that is not how you play town.

Um, the "not having anything to say" was more of an explanation of why I hadn't posted much previously, and not a projection of future intentions. Also, yea you say that these were consecutive posts, but you fail to take into account that they were 57 (!) hours apart, and during that period, AO was mislynched, throwing town into turmoil.


You're digging your own grave. Two consecutive posts, 57 hours (!) apart? Talk about lurking hard. Yet when we question you, you show up in ten minutes? Now that you saw I was up for lynch, you jumped on the opportunity to cement your victory. Problem is, you were too greedy.
I'm better than dirt. Well, most kinds of dirt. I mean not that fancy store bought dirt. That stuffs loaded with nutrients. I... I can't compete with that stuff.

At this point, everyone thinks elmizzt is mafia yes? We aren't sure about the others. Why not just kill the one everyone thinks is mafia? We can handle the last day and you never know what info can come up if we go another day.

We either take a punt on the potential gf now and have a 50/50 chance of losing today, or we kill elmizzt and go in with the same odds tomorrow with slightly more information. I don't see the point of risking everything on who the second Mafia is when we can get someone pretty much guaranteed today.



We are going to have a 50/50 shot at hitting the gf regardless of what day we try and kill them on. We will only get a tiny amount of extra information on who is night killed but we will pretty much be in the same position we are now. If I knew for sure that mafia would kill you during the night instead of me I would have 0 problem voting elmizzt. But I have no intention of being dead for the most important decision of the game. Even if I make the wrong decision today I want the ability to at least make it. So I will not be voting elmizzt today, I will vote either kita or ilj.

Its not a 50/50 shot. Its a 100% shot if you vote jonn or elm. You've analyzed me, but anything you've said about me could be applied to them as well. Its the simple fact that I've played more games than jonn and elm that you think I'm the most scummy. I feel as if I'm talking to a wall at the moment as anything I say you see as scummy. Is there anything I could explain to change your mind? I don't care which one of them you decide, but our votes have to be together or we lose.

Yea I know it isn't really 50/50. I think it is like 80% you are mafia 20% jonn is.

I agree that there is a very high chance that elmizzt is scummy but I don't want to deal with him atm I want to decide between you and jonn.

I have read through all of your posts and jonn's posts like 5 times each. And what has really decided me about jonn is just the whole part where he gave up and then sinani pulled out the coach post. I agree with your point that often times when under heavy pressure the scum players can pull out the ok I give up lynch me trick but usually they only do it when they are either A) trying to push some goal of theirs or B) they are under very heavy pressure but there was no real pressure under jonn when he did it. There were like 4 votes on sinani then jonn comes in and basically goes I am worthless I will go with the town and vote sinani. Then db makes a post and goes ok we should all switch our votes to jonn and 3 minutes later jonn goes yep you are right everyone should vote for me and then votes for himself. Considering how quickly it all came down this seemed like either he and db would have to be working together or it was just spontaneous on jonn's part. So then shortly after, jonn goes ok you guys are right I won't just give up and then targets orgolove saying he is the scummiest. And then a few hours after that sinani comes out with his coached post to try and get jonn lynched/save himself.

The whole thing just seems so so strange to me. Like what was the scum's plan here, have jonn martyr himself even though 95% of the town was focused on sinani and then right after have him change his mind and coach sinani to try and bus him all to buy jonn town credit? And this insane master plan was completely put together by jonn, sinani, elmizzt? I mean maybe if like ace was on the mafia team but we aren't exactly looking at a group of mafia all-stars here.

So I think jonn was demoralized by being completely wrong all game long, especially having his long analysis on EM end up being just completely worthless. He was really ready to die. Mafia saw this and they knew jonn would be their best shot at diverting the lynch, so they wrote up sinani's long coached post and tried to save him and keep their kp. If this was really some complex plan by the mafia to try and buy jonn super town cred then I will just say hats off to them because they have completely fooled me.

After spending hours and hours looking through posts and thinking on this my mind is pretty much made up. I don't think there is anything you can say to change my opinion but I guess if you come up with a plausible story for how the whole jonn trying to die/sinani bus thing was actually a giant mafia plan then I would be willing to listen.

Basically while I don't think the mafia would just be bussing one of their own between sinani and ilj it is at least in the realm of possibility. But I don't understand why ilj would have martyred himself when there was no real pressure on him.

I have been reading pypi while it was going on. And GMarshal did try to martyr himself but it was clear right away he had a goal. He was saying either kill me now to remove suspicion or follow my plan until the end. He was giving people an ultimatum to further his objectives. Jonn was just like fuck it I am terrible everyone kill me here I will even vote for myself. I just don't see the mafia motive behind it other than trying to gain town cred, but in that scenario the mafia were already going to give him town cred by bussing him with sinani.

So if all my analysis is wrong and I have just been completely fooled and I am killing the wrong person kita then I am sorry. I will try and figure out where I fucked up and went wrong to improve for the future. But right now everything tells me to kill you.

lol. kita keeps jumping and dodging arguments. bouncing back and forth between stances.

Your original argument was that my stance switched very quickly between two consecutive posts. I responded that they were actually very far apart in terms of time and circumstance. You responded by dodging, and making statements that I have already explained. nice try =/
