Nintendo Mafia (Game Over)

[Ythan]

Ideally Pine is and jmj isn't.

[RedCoyote]

Coyote did you really just use a character's characterization in their game of origin as evidence that they are probably town-aligned in this game? Have you played a themed game before?

The man claimed a PR, Ythan. With a guilty report on our only other claimed player (a VT no less). No read you could possibly have on Pine as town could outweigh that.

[Dekes]

Too late. And Pine had more than enough time after he supposedly was all caught up to come up with something remtoly resembling suspects.

That's not at all the content of the post you just quoted. Reread it and answer again.

[Ythan]

As I said before, Pine wasn't doing shit. And he didn't even do anything from after I said that to now.

[RedCoyote]

Are you implying that this was just a fake claim given to him by the Mod?

[Ythan]

I'm implying that you're crazy to think that the name Merlon makes a claim any more town-plausible.

[RedCoyote]

Oh, just because I know the character and don't see how he could be scum.

[Ythan]

...This is a Mafia game. I reiterate my question, have you ever played a theme game before? Assuming that a character is town because their role was a good guy in the source material is amateur.

[jmj3000]

A lynch has been reached. Mod scene forthcoming

[RedCoyote]

That's where it comes back to his actual role claim.

I mean... Cop > VT with a guilty investigation. Period. I can't make it any more simple than that.

[Ythan]

That's not what I'm talking about though. I'm talking about you buying a claim because it was a certain character. If you buy it for another reason that's fine. Just please don't do that one thing.

[RedCoyote]

Well, it's more believable than claiming, like, Bowser or something.

[Ythan]

Mods think of these things too RC.

Players not voting: Kdub

Searching for a replacement for chkflip now.

Whee countdown code. Anyways, let me know if there are errors.

As the computer starts to slowly go to sleep, you all start to suddenly point fingers. Finally, someone comes out and plants his feet,ready to lead town. "They are scum!" he declares, pointing directly at pine. Very few of you believe him, but enough follow his lead to overpower pine. As you drag him to the recycle bin, he starts to rant and rave about how Miyamoto had been holding him back. As you throw him into the recycle bin and empty it, some of you go to the folder where his files were stored. Once there, you see where he went nuts and was discussing at night with more people. However, you see nothing special about him.

Thil is almost certainly mafia.

vote thil13

[thil13]

Ythan, anything I have to say would be taken as scummy to you.


Got roleblocked last night.

[lewarcher82]

ok, let us start from here:

vote: ythan

why would a scum player:
1) claim cop in a themed closed setup, risking a cc;
2) invent an absurd story about him investigating only one night out of two.

why would two mafias (chk = lou and pine), one of which was already hardly fos'd, decide to start a case against a third mafia member? I don't see how chk could be scum with thil. Would on the contrary make perfect sense for you to be scum with them.

Defend.

@kdub: will you now explain in detail why you thought pine was town?

[Ythan]

Notice that he attempted to suggest that there might be more than one cop in expectation of a cc. You ask why he would invent an absurd story about why he only has one investigation out of two (now three) nights. I don't think you thought through this so well as the first one. There is no reason to think that scum would not attempt to explain why they didn't have pro-town information.

[lewarcher82]

Please show me a world in which chk and thil can be scum together.

[esuriospiritus]

People in the so-called bloc are not getting killed and it is making me nervous. I need to reread.

@MOD: SSBF had no flavour with his kill. Was this intentional or an oversight?

[esuriospiritus]

PS: A cursory glance at chkflip's and thil's isos tells me Ythan might actually be right. Chkflip replaced out right about the time Thil claimed. If Thil was doing some sort of bussing gambit in order to become confirmed town, that puts other scum in the awkward position of having to decide which scum needs to get bussed more. And Thil's whole claim-but-here's-some-anti-CC-insurance thing doesn't sit well with me.

And if thil

is

scum, the gambit means he is very likely scum power. Om nom nom.

Also, this is setup-guessing, but if Thil was actually town I refuse to believe that someone in the bloc wouldn't have been shot at. Scum would likely assume that any town doc in the setup would protect Thil, meaning us obvtownies are suddenly left bare.

When I re-read in earnest I am going to take a look at other people who reacted awkwardly to the thil/pine thing.
