[GG] Mafia XII - The Summer Season - Page 6

1. The fear of spiders: Falcynn's TL blog has an entry about fearing black widows. We've found no one else that links to this odd passage.
2. His quote is from an aquabats song, bat sonar may have helped him find Plexa under rubble. (weak)
3. Radar may have to do with the loud noise from Day 2. (weak)
4. His video of the Takagi Masakatsu song, "Girls", is psychedelic.
5. He has a vampire reference in his TL blog. Falcynn says he was just asking about Twilight, however, it asks the rhetorical question "It has vampires so it much be awesome right?
6. His twilight noobiness could be why Mr Julia is described as new to the mafia.
7. Another video he has shows ipods changing through the colors of the rainbow.
8. Falcynn has a blog post about how bad the smell is in his town. Maybe he removed his nose because of it? (weak, but I've yet to find anything else on this except Michael Jackson in LucasWoJ's profile)
9. The military training thing could be linked to the fact that Falcynn has been training for a TL Altitude team (Altitude is an airplane warfare game).

Why the Vampire link is the best bet for Mr Julia
a. It fits with the pouncing. If you've seen recent vampire movie Let the Right One In, you'll know vampires often pounce on necks and leave their enemies in "a bloody pulp" like fishball.
b. In day one, bodies are hung up and there is "Blood spilling from their gored bodies and pooling on the ground". This is just like how the vampire in Let the Right One In is fed by her servant.
c. A vampire might experience the problem Mr Julia has with circulation (passing out, pulsating) because their hearts atrophy away.
d. Mr Julia waits until 3:14 am and is not used to such conditions and therefore must hurry. Could be the sunrise that is worrying him.
e. Mr Julia's skin turns yellow - this fits with a newbie vampire as shown in the vampire biology site I linked earlier in the thread.
f. After Judge gets taken by Mr Julia, L finds his fresh blood all over the place, Judge's blood might be fresh because he didn't get killed, but is instead being slowly drained for food.
g. "All three of them instantly knew what had happened to Mr Julia and rushed over to the safe room to bring him back home." Could be indicative of a blood lust episode.

There are are few other people that link to vampires, but Falcynn is the closest / only one that doesn't require google.

Anyone who's played mafia before (and Falcynn has) knows clues are less helpful in the game, certainly less helpful than lowered KP. Also, note he acts like we might never want to use our assassins.

AFTER PEOPLE CALL HIM OUT FOR INACTIVITY:



He admits being inactive and says he'll catch up, then doesn't do anything. Classic mafia behavior, doing the bare minimum, not doing anything to help the town.

AFTER HE GETS CAUGHT ON THE FEAR OF SPIDER CLUE FROM DAY 1, HE TRIPLE POSTS FRANTICALLY:



He admits he looks suspicious and then says it would be worse if he was helping.



He admits he was bandwagoning (covering for trying to save TruthBringer).



He realizes his defense is sketchy (one of his order probably told him) so he tries to fix it and promises to do something to help town, which he hasn't. Note what is NOT in here: a reason not to vote for him. Other than he'll do his best, which he hasn't been doing and he has told us he sucks. Why this often works for mafia: If the mafia give you reasons to not lynch them, it will trigger the logical parts of your brain, and you will begin to weigh the evidence against him versus the evidence in support of him. It'll be overwhelmingly against him and so you'll vote for him. But if he just praises you for suspecting him, you will be liable to never think logically and just let him go / forget.

LATER:



This would have been nice if it was his first response, but again it was late and probably coached. Again he beats himself up to avoid rational debate, and puts the case against him in the worst possible light and basically just calls it names rather than responding.

"Lets examine the general course of conversation this game has taken.

We started talking in general terms about weather. We then slid into a chat about what type of mafia one would send into the election. The answer was simple: the godfather. Elections went on, some odd voting happened, then we nearly completely dropped the topic.

Why is this important? Because BC is acting incoherently in his role. BC will criticize ydg for 'flip flopping', but flip flops himself, posting:

If elected, i will be random # generating from this list.

Ydg as he tends to go inactive for alot of a game in most games (sorry bud but inactives kill the game)

Elemenope seems shifty to me based on a question he asked previously in the thread,
ecomania, kuja and scamp due to general inactivity


then essentially going "oh wait nevermind, i'm going to kill a power player instead" 40 minutes later. Regardless of the wisdom of the plan, BC can't be pointing out other people for changing their minds when he's been the biggest flip flopper in the game when it comes down to concrete life or death decisions. More importantly, check that list: Who's number 1 there? The person BC is trying to get the town to bandwagon right now. Okay, fair enough, he's had a grudge and has been searching for shit to pin on ydg despite not having ANY clue information to back his claims up.

There's obviously more poor argumention from him, quite a bit of it stemming from kill MBH plan and a bit more coming from previous conversations. That alone isn't enough to pin someone as being mafia. Tricode last game was throwing up complete garbage posts, but he was just an idiot townie. What makes BC special is WHO his friends are and WHEN they support him.

Next: Lets take a gander at the vote lists:

BloodyC0bbler [13]
TruthBringer
Pyrrhuloxia
HeavOnEarth
ydg
LucasWoJ
Shikyo
BWdero
Falcynn
Scaramanga
Faronel
StorZerg
Foolishness
Vivi57

So no fek
iNfuNdiBuLuM
Chezinu
ecomania

Malongo
chaoser
JeeJee

Abstain [9]
redtooth
BloodyC0bbler
Fishball
Bockit
Lenwe
vx70GTOJudgexv
araav
Elemenope
MrBabyHands

The bolded member of the list are special because they correspond to typical voting periods for mafia members on a mafia candidate. Mafia will seed a list to get a bandwagon running, then let it grow a bit on its own, sprinkling a few extra votes in the middle, but holding most of their members back if they need to make a last minute push. The early voters? TruthBringer and Pyrr. TruthBringer has been silent and is by far our best clue link, and Pyrr defends BC fanatically, throwing a few red herrings at other players now and then. The two bolded votes further down correspond to the 11th and 12th votes for BC respectively, the votes needed to overcome the fact that I hadn't yet voted and assure the win for BC. Foolishness is posting useless comments and poor analysis all over the thread, adding to the 'chaos' that BC was talking about when referring to flip flopping. StorZerg Is nearly 100% silent.

The italicized members are those that have been put under suspicion in the past few pages. That said, there are likely only 3-5 mafia on that list, with the other 3-5 being on me or abstaining. Since I'm in the unique position of knowing that mafia would only vote for me to camouflage themselves (unless they wanted to warp my mind and control my precious fog votes), This tells me that BC is far too likely to be mafia to be followed in bandwagons. Lets examine those people who have been following:

Araav - 3
Storzerg
Pyrrhuloxia
So no fek

YDG - 5
Foolishness
vx70GTOJudgexv
BloodyC0bbler
iLoveKTF
Falcynn

Out of the 5 most likely mafia members, 3 of them are seeding bandwagon lists to deflect the pressure put on a fourth member: TruthBringer.

Wake the fuck up. Don't take my word for granted either. Think this shit through yourself. Town is getting fucking RAPED right now. We aren't active and the mafia are actively putting up walls of shit posts to throw you off and make you too lazy to go back and find quality information."
