You are just accusing anyone at this point.
I don’t really by that mafia would just abstain from the kill, when they haven’t had a single kill this game. This close to the end, reducing the numbers would be priority.

Re: Mafia (DAY 4)
When did I say that my block stopped the kill every night?

The other nights there were other actions out there. Protections. Other blocks. Possibility of abstained or missed from inactivity kills. I believe it was JJJ pointed out every player checked in last night so it wasn’t likely to be missed.
That would leave abstain (which as I said I don’t think makes a ton of sense with numbers this low) or actions and I don’t think there are a any other blocks/protects left out there?

What are all the claims? Didn’t 2 players claimed to have blocking powers? That is so Op in this setup

No one. Is there any player worthy of me sacrificing myself? I have submitted zero names

Re: Mafia (DAY 4)
You could have sacrificed yourself, a player on the verge of getting eliminated, to save the every night role blocker (the one you say should always be killed), or the jack of all trades, or the guy you keep calling "one of the best" (me).

Nvm it’s 5 am and I thought I though of something clever but it’s not.

I do know that I don’t really want grogu and the block to be the only discussion for the day. Only talking about blocks has gotten us no where.

Whether you trust people should be irrelevant. You can protect fingersplints, die in her place, and then know in the graveyard that you probably saved an important town role from dying -- exactly what your role is designed for.

I don't care much about the "would I carry the kill" wine. When I am a mafioso I tend to prefer teammates in dangerous positions carry them out to prevent losing someone deeper.
You've accused everyone that has posted so far today. That's fine. Is anyone a civilian read? Is anyone less suspicious?

Re: Mafia (DAY 4)
One thing I want to say about a point @fingersplints has made: that mafia would be disinclined to abstain a kill with the game dwindled down so much.
I don't think that's necessarily true, at least not if there are three of them. 5 vs. 3 is hardly worse to them than 4 vs 3 is -- either way it's one bad elimination and a/or night kill (lol) away from game over. Keeping power roles alive may seem risky, but if they're not killing anyway a roleblocker is less concerning.
I doubt they give a crap about my role, Epi is out of claimed shots now (and only had a vote manipulation left), KZA's role claim is a day ability that explicitly harms civilians no matter how it's used (even if KZA is one of them). Poison's role may seem threatening, which is why I think Grogu would be a sensible option to carry a kill -- losing him to a track may seem less damaging than losing someone deeper to a track.
If there are two of them that doesn't apply, and we're not in a massive emergency quite yet.
No clue what it is though.

Re: Mafia (DAY 4)
Ok, well I addressed why I didn’t trust you yesterday.
Since then, you had many posts about how could we lynch Alison over scirrus and Enrique? So you seemed to trust in the potential blocks from yesterday, all while saying you doubt both me and Epi, so why so against specifically them if not the blocks because you haven’t given any really solid reasons. (Also again, same with Marmot of course you would know Alison was a civvie if you are bad) Your latest posts have now been just accusing anyone who mentions you. So yea overall it’s not really a good look.fingersplints wrote: ↑Fri Mar 05, 2021 6:23 am And tbh I hate when players don’t post and then get to claim a win, so it’s time to cut the extras.
Grogu’s few posts have been
- messing around in the thread
- saying Marmot is off limits. Pretty strong defence. Mafia would know he was civvie
- conveniently showing up and apologising for inactivity once the votes start
There was a couple more but also unsubstantial
As to “why would I be alive?” Why wouldn’t I be? There has only been one kill at night.

Re: Mafia (DAY 4)
IF Enrique is bad, his vote is worth two right?

Again this is IF Enrique is bad. IF they have three.
I think I just have a hard time believing mafia wouldn’t want to kill anyways. I don’t think I’ve ever been in a game with talk of abstaining from a kill.

I could only see him lying about his role is if I am scum with him. Telling the truth makes Enrique look terrible with the Alison flip and I don't know why he would do that lol.
And this isnt the case because I'm town anyway so
claiming something that would have made you looked better. Mafia have the benefit of lying to give themselves an advantage in a closed setup like this.
I am trusting town's claims to be legit. I assume mafia is too. My early claim of 1x vig clearly didnt help me bc i got blocked later and all I could really say is
"srry im vanilla now"

At the least this time the kill was unlikely forgotten. Every single player made a night phase appearance. Drop one theory and leave two. Either Grogu was flat blocked or it's abstained on purpose. The latter isn't mutually exclusive with Grogu being mafia-aligned.

I'm also obligated to use it. I don't know if that applies to anyone else.
Grogu's role would be nearly useless for a mafia team. He can technically sacrifice himself to a town vigilante in order to save a better-positioned teammate.

Re: Mafia (DAY 4)
So I must have missed that quote Epi just posted from JJJ talking about is grogu’s role opposite from his own because it’s oppositely aligned. Or I wasn’t really thinking about grogu’s role until now. Either way, I have a thought I just had on the matter.
IF grogu is lynched and IF that is his role with a MAFIA alignment, it would clear scirrus, right? For that role to have any point of existing on a mafia team there has to be a town vig. Or am I missing something.
I don’t know yet who I think is the best lynch. Still probably leaning grogu, but also still not feeling great about scirrus, and Poison’s lack of recent activity also has me concerned.
I definitely don’t completely trust Enrique or KZA, but for now they are reading more genuine to me.
I still trust Epi and JJJ, if that wasn’t obvious.
So if I had to list from most likely mafia to most likely town it’d be
Grogu
Scirrus
Poison
Enrique
KZA
Epignosis
JJJ

Alison can only be on a mafia team with Epi i think, if they decided to fake the cop/protect shtick. But if that were the case, why would still not kill anyone, or kill Marmot? Marmot's a bad N1 Kill for scum based on how they game was going.
So probably not that
Alternatively Alison decides to do some no kill gambit for this game regardless of her partners. But why? I'm not sure if the benefits outway the cost of that, especially for the first night
"Marmot's a bad N1 Kill for scum based on how they game was going."
Why does this sentence exist?

Re: Mafia (DAY 4)
Good pickup, Epi. Not sure why Scirrus seems to be entertaining scenarios where Marmot was a mafia night kill (and how much sense it would or wouldn’t make). If he shot Marmot as a vigilante there’s little or no reason for that to exist in his mind.
I’m getting the impression that Scirrus is a mafioso and not a vigilante — that Marmot was a standard kill.

Re: Mafia (DAY 4)
I also feel I owe it to Alison to murder Scirrus.
This all feels like a take-your-pick among the blocked players. I’m fine with that.

I'm here to spit a hot take: there is no factional kill

[VOTE:
vote grogu] aubergine
Responses still not sitting well with me, plus that block last night.
I also only just realised that there was a vote function. I was wondering how you guys were doing that

I forgot about
It’s bringing back so many memories for me. I miss playing with SVS

Re: Mafia (DAY 4)
I’m not home tonight and can’t do much.
I’m betting on a mafia team containing either two or three of these:
Scirrus, Grogu, Enrique
If that’s correct, chop them all and we win. Shouldn’t matter how many. May need to ensure Enrique isn’t last to go because of the double vote.

Re: Mafia (DAY 4)
And if I'm right, the role block business (sans Grogu) might just be a series of red herrings. The mafia team very well may have been an absentee mafia.
KZA's eagerness to jump on Scirrus for a "slip" without commenting on what I just posted about Grogu may indicate that.

Re: Mafia (DAY 4)
Regardless of Grogu’s flip, if the game continues Enrique needs to be next — before Scirrus.

Also from a my ability strategy wise, I blocked him last night, so if that is the team I can’t block him tonight to try and stop the kill.Epignosis wrote: ↑Sun Mar 07, 2021 6:15 pmVote Grogu for now.
