After re-reading the rules and roles, I think we have a good chance of winning this one again, though not in nearly as convincing a fashion. I'll take a look at the clues tomorrow morning, but for whatever reason, the writing seems uncharacteristic of Chuiu (granted, I only briefly glanced at it).

This is how people think.

This right here is how people think. Even Steven Pinker admits to knowing nothing about another's thoughts or how the mind processes them.

I'm going to read the thread after page 9 and see what's come up. Summary on the candidates running?

Shockwave is also the name of the archon's move. If you're so inclined, can anyone run a program or make a list of people's icons? From a quick skim, the closest things I noticed were a high templar and a dark archon. Personally, it seems foolish to make such broad a term a clue in this game.

An MrBabyHands, as much as I want to believe otherwise, what your post sounds like is you playing the game with no clear intention and then adding a false purpose to what you were doing to convince yourself and others of what is not fact. I know because I've thought this way AFTER everything played out (be it a day or a couple of days). There is a degree of randomness that one could never account for, so I'm simply inclined to believe that you're convinced Mandalor is mafia simply by HOW he sounds; in order to convince us, you've created a somewhat elaborate scheme. You weren't actually consciously doing it, or at least as consciously as you make it out to seem, which is indicated by your need to quote your words.

If you had done it consciously, you would not have needed to quote your words because the connection would have already been clear. Quoting your own words indicates that you're looking for that connection. Stating your train of thought and such perfect of examples to what you were expecting further indicates that you're simply adjusting to the situation.

I'm all for behavioral analysis, but don't falsify your own. You may end up losing an audience. Also, why give mafia a means and guide to amend and improve their ways? Townies and mafia alike will read your post, and in order to prove themselves as townie, they'll begin to overcompensate. A paramedics "I know I can't prove it now but I'll do anything you say to prove it later" will become "This is how a townie is expected to act so I'll act super-townie so the guys up there won't lynch me and will take me more seriously."

Because I do believe in the efficiency of this method, have you noticed anything else in the past day besides the already stated in the post above?

The difference in style between Ver and Ace is staggering.

My suspect list (debate, analyze them people!):

Caller (Out of character behavior. Bandwagon voting babyhands because ace/i did? A bad campaign that got canceled? No other activity?)
Malongo (linked with Caller)
LucasWoJ (Disagrees with mrbabyhands to back up Mandalor)
0zc3c (subtly casts doubt . Subtly tries to keep Scaramanga from the spotlight)

Good luck. Hopefully I'm not dead, but precautions must be made in case.

Clearly my post in response to mrbabyhands was misunderstood, as I knew it would be because I was not very lucid in its composure.

I did not disagree with him at all. Please re-read it. I was simply pointing out that his method was very flawed and not necessarily in his best interest, as it might not be taken as seriously as it should be (by "it," I'm referring to his psychoanalysis. I was correct to that extent.) Based upon what he said, it's entirely feasible that Mandalor is mafia.

I was not backing up Mandalor, I was simply attacking mrbabyhand's METHOD (of the way he posted really)

I'm doing my best to monitor this game, and the only triggers that have gone off have surrounded mrbabyhands. I don't necessarily think he's mafia but those who seem brainwashed by some of his posts are either not contributing effectively or are mafia themselves. You happen to be on that list, Ver, and I've noticed that you've been using the excuse of "I'm hiking" or "I'm away for two days" quite often. As in the last-game-in-which-you-were-mafia, you appear to be doing far more in the background than you let on.

EDIT: In terms of questions regarding my activity, I had two exams over the past two days and could not quite follow the topic as well as I would have liked. I PM'd a few people concerning their rational for voting for whomever they voted for, but that was a couple days ago.

i like his clue analysis and i think there is a high chance that he is not mafia, thats a key part.

I must have missed it, and don't feel like digging though the pages again. What's the connection to Humbug, if you care to restate it.

I'm still waiting for this from mrbabyhands: "tonight i'm putting together a post that lists my top suspects and rationale for suspecting them tho." That's a response to one of my PMs concerning his inactivity on the forums.

EDIT: And that was yesterday.
