Thanks for modding, Kain. I really enjoyed this game. :)

Almost a Miyazaki repeat! I think PJ was instrumental in the town victory again.
It's too bad we didn't lynch elvis Day 4, could have been another perfect game.

Good game, guys! We should have more games with the same crowd.

wow!!!!!!! :D Really good good job guys!!!!
Thanks to everybody who was in the game! 27 pages of discussion make this minigame one of the longest ever!
We were a wonderful town, so congratulation to everybody, in particular to PJ. I had never played with him before, but now that I’ve been mason with him I have to say that he’s one of the best player I’ve ever seen here on mafiascum!
And thanks for modding kain, I had great fun!

Oh, woohoo! Well done town, I can't believe you didn't lynch EK sooner, though. I was
so
on to her. :P

And wow, thanks for the compliments. :) Makes me feel squishy.

I'll probably post some night conversation later when I am not so dead tired. It was wonderful being Masons with Micigante and W!nt3r, by the way, I look forward to playing with them again soon. I personally think this game could very easily favored the scum, but I can leave that for later.

As has been noted, thanks for modding Kain, it was a very fun game, and I will definitely be keeping an eye out for Mormon Mafia 2!

All right, night conversation between Micigante, W!nt3r, and myself. Note that I made a mistake while talking about Post 313, however. ><
PetroleumJelly wrote:Howdy, guys!

1.) I’ll try to be (fairly) brief. Firstly, awesome that we caught the GF Day 1!

2.) Secondly, although I say otherwise in the thread, I do not believe Saferbahamut is really Amelia’s scum partner. If I had to put money on anybody, it would definitely be Elvis_Knits. Look how quickly she jumped on my idea that “Safer is probably scum with Amelia” in Post 353… Safer’s post doesn’t “prove” anything: if Safer didn’t vote for Amelia, you can be sure Elvis would point that out as well. Elvis has continuously tried to draw links between players (Vaughn and ML, for example). Also, when Elvis gave her list of people we should consider, she conveniently left out AmeliaSlay and inserted W!nt3r (Post 313). If I am alive tomorrow, it will be difficult to dissuade me from an Elvis lynch. Also clearly tried to divert the Amelia bandwagon onto W!nt3r in Post 327. Also, when Amelia name-claimed, she only FoS’d Elvis, rather than voting. More than enough evidence that Elvis is scum.

3.) I fully believe Logicticus’ claim: if I had to guess, either Logicticus, Vaughn, or myself will targeted tonight by scum, since I haven’t caught any breadcrumbing from any Cops yet. I will have to re-read for that.

4.) Not so sure about Vaughn’s claim: it sure sounds reasonable, but I will admit that he is rivaling (if not surpassing) the famed scumminess of Internet Stranger. I think he is pro-town, however: he tried to divert suspicion away from himself to AmeliaSlay and Saferbahamut: unless he was trying to get a Cop to investigate AmeliaSlay, I can’t see why he would choose his GF as in his “most suspicious two”. Of course, he may be the Cult Leader for all I know.

5.) I tried to get both of you on the thread as my Mason buddies: Post 1, I “random” vote Micigante, so that’ll do it for him. And in Post 333, I encrypted W!nt3r in the statement “
W
ell,
I
n
ever
t
hought
E
lvis
r
eally wanted to lynch W!nt3r…”

6.) W!nt3r, I don’t believe we should force the posting restriction on anybody: I do not believe it will help the town in the least. I just hate posting restrictions, and I would hate to give one to another player.

7.) Micigante, I understand you get to recruit investigators (I was originally afraid you may have been the Cult Leader, which is why I almost withdrew from this game). You should probably not target Vaughn, Logicticus or Elvis_Knits (unless you also have conversion powers). Anybody else should be fine.

8.) My list of people, if it means anything:

Good

PetroleumJelly – Confirmed Innocent Mason/Teacher
W!nt3r – Confirmed Innocent Mason/Teacher
Micigante – Confirmed Innocent Mason/Elder Quorom President/Recruiter
Logicticus – Ward Loyalty Officer (Cult Cop)

Likely Good

Vaughn – Second Counselor to the Bishopric
Medicated Lain (For going against the Vaughn wagon)

Undecided

Saferbahamut (Wanted Vaughn lynched – May be scum with Amelia)
Help Im a Bug (Wanted Vaughn lynched: Probably not connected with Amelia)
Sineish (Wanted Vaughn lynched)

Very Suspicious

VitaminR (Only if Elvis is scum – But was not willing to change to Amelia late in the day, and so is very high in suspicion)

Evil

Elvis_Knits (Scum with AmeliaSlay)

9.) On an unrelated note, I really do think scum may PM each other during the day. It might be rare, but considering I never had to time to contact either of you, I’m sure the same went for scum, and they must have had some sort of communication.

Replies:
Micigante wrote:Hi my friends! Good job everybody for today’s lynch!
I won’t make a long speech as yours because I’m not from U.S or england, and my little knowledge of English doesn’t allow me to write so much!

Like you, I also fully believe Logiticus’ claim. I’m not so sure about Vaughn, but it would be really silly for a scum to play in the way he played. I only hope that he will not keep on protecting himself till the end of the game..

I also agree with your analysis of the possible link between Elvis and Amelia, but there’s a strange thought that is crossing my mind:
Elvis put the last vote two hours before the deadline: the only ones that were not voting for Amelia at that time were Logiciticus Seniesh and VitaminR.
If vitaminR is elvis’ scum buddy, there was no need for elvis to put the last vote on Amelia, in fact both logiticus and seiesh are quite inactive in this game. She could just refrain from posting and there was a high chance to end the game with a no lynch. If she’s scum, I don’t know why she voted..Maybe vitamin is not scum, and she voted only because she was scared that somebody else could cast the hammer vote leaving her the only one not voting for amelia.. I don’t know…

For what concern my possibility of recruiting investigator, I may send in one night choice per night of someone that I wish to attempt to recruit. If the person that I have selected is an “investigator” I have the possibility of recruiting him or her as a faithful Latter-day Saint. If the person I have selected is not recruitable at that moment our mod will inform me by simply telling me “ My attempt to recruit has failed” Any investigator recruited may communicate with me, both of you, and other recruited investigators at night.

From Logiticus’ claim (post 268) it seemed me to understand that he’s an investigator. Why Pj you don’t want me to recruit him tonight?


About posting restriction:
I also have a sort of posting restriction: my role have a 50% of receiving revelation that will protect me from all harm during the night. To maintain my righteousness and my ability to be partially protected at night I must compliment one person for something each day in the game by using one of the following words: “Commend, congratulate, praise, admire, and or applaud”. It’s a quite simple posting restriction to fulfil, but since I have a posting restriction, it’s quite likely that somebody else have it too. That’s why I’ve trusted Logiticus when he said that he has to misspell some words in every post.

Hope to hear soon news from you about who you would like to recruit in our mason group!
If something that I’ve written is not clear or correct, just tell it to me and I’ll try to explain better with the help of a good English dictionary!
Bye

W!nt3r wrote:Ok, my post will be the least extensive due to my brevity and general playstyle.

To be brief, I agree with both of you.

I too am curious as to why Mic should not recruit Logic, if we feel he is an investigator. In addition my suspicions of both Elvis and Vaughn have risen whilst my suspicion of both VitaminR and SaferBahamut have remained at a higher than normal level. In all, I have to say that I'm am almost assured of my belief that Elvis is not pro-town. She may not be scum, but she most cirtainly not a townie.

But you two covered most of what I would have gone over...
My responses:
PetroleumJelly wrote:Ooh, all right: I simply misunderstood your role, Micigante. I didn't know you could only recruit investigators, I thought you got to recruit people and then they became investigators. In that case, Logicticus is a fine choice, I apologize for the confusion. Further, if Logicticus is not really an investigator (which I seriously doubt), we can find out if the recruitment fails.

And I had no idea of your 50% self-protection, Micigante... that makes Vaughn's role-claim less likely. Two potentially self-protecting townies seems a little strong.

In fact, I would imagine we have a very powerful town, and that that is balanced by very powerful scum. We have a 3-person recruiting Mason group (with one member who may self-protect and the other two may force a posting restriction on another person together), a claimed self-protecting doctor, a Cult Finder, and very likely a Sane/Insane Cop (since Amelia was a GF).

So we are dealing with a Cult and probably a 3-person scum group, of which each member likely has some sort of ability (maybe role-blocking, or bodyguard status, or a Scum Cop: or maybe just day-talking).

I think W!nt3r said it best when he said that Elvis is some sort of evil: I agree. Her placement of the hammer vote was mandatory when Amelia failed to defend herself. She knew she would have looked worse had she not done so, especially when there was a possibility that another player would hop on and do so anyhow.

W!nt3r, we should both probably tell Kain that we will not be using our "teaching" powers tonight.

Duplicated and sent to both W!nt3r and Micigante.

Jelly
At this point, W!nt3r and I had a bit of correspondence…
W!nt3r wrote:will do, PJ.

IF anything comes up please do-tell. Otherwise, good luck fella's...

and in reading a post in MAfia discussion: are you scum? i just want to make sure we have a full-town masongroup...
PetroleumJelly wrote:Re-read your PM, W!nt3r... we're both confirmed innocents since we were teaching together on the night of the murder. The person I was worried about was Micigante (Elder Quorom Leader), but Kain has verified for me that he is also a confirmed innocent (this was when I believed him to be the Cult Leader, since I knew he could do some sort of "recruitments").

Unless one of us gets recruited to the cult, we are all confirmed innocents.

Jelly
I then decided we needed a Day 2 strategy, so our Masonry group would remain hidden while allowing a maximum amount of attacking. From that, we get:
PetroleumJelly wrote:Duplicate Message to W!nt3r and Micigante.

Skip to bottom for quick strategy summary.

We need to make sure we do not draw another link between the three of us. We shouldn't be telling the Mafia and Cult where the Masonry is, especially not the cult: a recruited Cult Mason would be insanely difficult to catch.

Tomorrow, I think we should ultimately end up by lynching Elvis_Knits, but we should not start with Elvis_Knits. I suggest we all begin voting for different players, and then see if Elvis tries to divert suspicion away from one of them. I have played against her when she was scum once (as W!nt3r knows) and I just finished reading Wages of Sin Mafia, where Elvis was also scum: she always seems to subtly draw attention away from whoever her buddies are. I could probably try to act like I'm pushing a serious lynch on just about anybody to get Elvis worried if that person happens to be her partner. No defense will likely tell us there is no connection, and afterwards we can all change gears and lynch Elvis.

I will push for VitaminR: if VitR is scum with Elvis_Knits (which is what I suspect) I believe we will have caught two scum once Elvis tries to point her finger someplace else.

Micigante can perhaps go after Saferbahamut (who I am undecided on, but we may get a reaction from Elvis): however, since Elvis seemed happy to draw a connection between Amelia and Safer, Safer may not be the best person to try. If Elvis agrees with a Safer lynch however, we probably have a confirmed "Not-Scum with Elvis/Amelia", at which point we may switch directly to Elvis (after looking for reactions from the VitR lynch, of course).

If W!nt3r feels up to the challenge, perhaps he could try a push on Help Im a Bug. If you are still having trouble posting however, no worries: we had a very good start Day 1. We outed an investigator which may now be recruited to us, we lynched GF scum, and we outed somebody who claims Doctor with self-protection: the scum will have no idea who to target!

Also, don't be too worried about looking slightly scummy if you have to reach a little bit while making an argument: Masons get a little leeway in doing so since we can confirm each other. We are doing this to make our Masonry less obvious, as well as trying to catch scum through association.

If one of us dies during the night, just move the list up:
1.) VitaminR, reactions to this should be telling
2.) Anybody besides us, Logicticus, ML (I think she is pro-town this game), and Vaughn

I think that's it for now. And I believe there is a negative on my thought that people we Night-Teach will be converted out of Cult status: more likely we just give them the restriction.

Summary


So, my plan:
1.) I (or Micigante, if I die or the game begins while I am gone) will begin with an attack on VitR. One of you may vote with me if you wish, but not both. We may unvote after hearing sufficiently from Elvis.
2.) Mici (or W!nt3r) will then attack somebody (Safer being my suggestion). One of us may vote with Mici, but not both. Again, wait for Elvis reaction.
3.) W!nt3r may then attack somebody (Help Im a Bug being my suggestion), same thing as 1 and 2.
4.) Try to push lynch towards Elvis without making it obvious we are Masons. Lynch Elvis with as few of us on the lynch as possible. Players I expect will follow us are: Vaughn, ML, Safer, and Logicticus. Since max lynch will be 6 tomorrow, only 2 of us should be necessary for the lynch to go through.

Jelly
Response (never received one from W!nt3r):
Micigante wrote:Ok. I agree with everything. There’s only one thing that I don’t understand: I’ve never played with Cult leaders, and so I have no idea of how they works and how they can recruit. Is it possible that they recruit one of us? Or if they ask for somebody that Is part of a mason group (or that is scum) the mod answer them that the person they tried to recruit was not recruitable?
Because if they can also recruit one of us, from tomorrow we will have to stop to trust one each other..
Micigante and I then had a bit of discussion about the recruitment of Logicticus, which of course, happened to not go through the next day. We didn’t really coordinate it, but during Day 2, when we both realized that the recruitment on Logicticus failed, we each changed from lynching Elvis_Knits to Logicticus (which was certainly for the best). After Day 2, we had more discussion. >< Sad to say, I lost my way a bit this night.
PetroleumJelly wrote:Howdy W!nt3r and Micigante!

Duplicated message again.

1.) Micigante, did you fulfill your posting restriction for Day 2? I don’t think I caught it anywhere, I was going to mention it in the thread but voting closed just as I got there. I would feel much better if you are at least 50% protected tonight.

2.) Although I’m positive both of you are thinking the same thing, we gotta go for the recruitment on Elvis_Knits tonight. We’ll find out if she’s faking a role-claim fairly easily, so long as there aren’t any Mafia-Cop roles (which seems possible to me, we’ve already run into a Godfather and a Recruiting Mafia Member!). And Micigante, send your choice in quickly! Any talking we can get in with Elvis_Knits (assuming she is recruitable to us) could help us out tremendously.

3.) W!nt3r, I think we ought to leave our teaching abilities alone again, I still do not see any advantages to using them, even on suspected scum.

4.) VitaminR is almost certainly scum. He withheld his vote against AmeliaSlay D1 (too much doubt), questioned my “ward” claiming tactic, and held his vote against Logicticus D2 because he was “not at all sure about this”.

5.) If there are two killing groups (and not a Vigilante) my guess is that Saferbahamut would be a SK (but likely not a Vigilante). Safer would have allegiance to nobody in this case, and she seems to be setting up a Vigilante role-claim by talking about the possibility that Vaughn was vigged.

6.) My best guess for the role-blocker in this game (who gave Elvis_Knits the giggles) would be Help Im a Bug. I am somewhat stuck on the feeling that HIAB is pro-town now (he was on both Amelia and Logic D1, and hammered Logic D2).

7.) So! All the junk I think in a nutshell:

Pro-Town

PetroleumJelly (Mason/Teacher with W!nt3r)
W!nt3r (Mason/Teacher with PetroleumJelly)
Micigante (Elder Quorom Leader/Mason)

Likely Pro-Town

Help Im a Bug [Likely Role-Blocker]
Elvis_Knits (pending recruitment, of course) [Likely 2-Shot Cop]

Unsure

Sineish/VisMaior [Maybe a Townie, Scum, or Back-Up Cop/Doc]
Saferbahamut [Possible SK]

Very Likely Scum

VitaminR [SCUMZORZ]

8.) By the way, I am pretty sure there will be at least one pro-town player with the word “ward” in their name: I only used that as a tactic to make Logicticus less credible (since we could not recruit him, he must’ve been scum) while keeping Elvis_Knits in the spotlight so that if we cannot recruit her tonight, it will give us a perfect place to go tomorrow without making our Masonic abilities obvious.

Jelly
Micigante wrote:Hi my friends!
Unfortunately I totally forgot about my posting restriction and I feel so stupid for that, because it’s quite likely that scum will try to kill me tonight..
I’ve already send the message for the recruitment of elvis, but I’m not sure that kain will answer me before tomorrow morning.
Now I’ don’t have enough time for reading the whole pm that PJ wrote to me because tomorrow I’ve the most difficult exam of the year at my university and I really have to study all day long. Tomorrow evening I’ll answer you with a longer analysis.
bye
mattia
Mici sent a second PM soon after:
Micigante wrote:Ok, I’m back.
A few considerations:
If the second kill of yesterday night was performed by a vigilante (and so there’s no SK) vitamin R is very likely scum (but also vis maior looks very very scummy because he didn’t help in both Amelia and Logitic lynch).

If there’s also a SK in this game (but we will realize this only tomorrow morning) I think that we have to reflect also upon the matter that we have discovered a mafia recruiter. I think it’s not likely that we started a minigame with a SK, a mafia group of 3 person and a mafia recruiter. (it would be too hard for the town)
In my opinion it’s more likely the following setup:
2 scum (Amelia, logiticus)
1 SK
1 scum recruited on night one
don’t you think?

So if tomorrow morning we wake up with 2 deaths again, we will probably have already lynched both of the 2 scums, and there’s only the recruited one left to be found.
He’s probably someone that was not on Logitic wagon (vitamin vismaior winter (I know he’s in our mason-group, but we cannot be sure about his innocence anymore. While I’m still trusting you because you started the wagon against logitic))

Logiticus wrote in post 395 that he investigated vitaminr and that he found him not guilty. If I were him I would have never indicated my scum-buddy as a innocent, but maybe he did it because he thought that we would have never unmasked him.
However for what concern tomorrow, I agree with you that we can push on vitamin (maybe not all 3 of us.. one could go on vismaior). We will solve this problem of the recruited-scum later..
PetroleumJelly wrote:Very nice, those were some of my thoughts I didn't write down, Micigante.

Duplicated to both W!nt3r and Micigante:

And I agree: the hardest thing to do will be to find the recruited scum, because they will not have been recruited D1 (and so easily could have been on the AmeliaSlay bandwagon, which makes it irrelevant as to whether VisMaior or VitaminR was on that bandwagon).

As it is, we may have to expect a mass role-claim tomorrow. I think we should switch around our claims.

W!nt3r and I (assuming we are both alive) can claim that both of us need to be alive in order to recruit an investigator: this will deflect attention away from Micigante, and if there is another claimed investigator in the game, you can have a shot at recruiting them knowing that either W!nt3r or myself will likely be targeted. Conversely, if one of W!nt3r/myself dies tonight, we can just reverse. If I die, W!nt3r will claim recruitment powers, and if W!nt3r dies, I will claim recruitment powers. Micigante can claim the "posting restriction" power, so he doesn't look weak.

Seeing as Micigante is much more likely to survive an endgame scenario (due to his possible 50% protection power) and the fact that Micigante is the one who can do the recruiting, I think W!nt3r and I should draw the gunfire towards ourselves and away from Micigante.

If all three of us are alive, I say we split our forces again: I think that strategy worked very well yesterday, we got a lot of reactions to work off of!

Even if we cannot recruit Elvis_Knits, I think we should poke at other players first to gauge reactions, and then switch gears, just like yesterday.

-I can go after VitaminR.
-Micigante can go after VisMaior.
-W!nt3r can go after whoever he likes! Free reign! If we have two kills again, though, it may be wise to poke at Saferbahamut.

Jelly
Note that during this time W!nt3r was not responding to our PMs. I think both Mici and myself were feeling suspicious of him towards the end as a possible recruitment. Mici and I had a bit of correspondence concerning W!nt3r’s and my forced posting restrictions on others, so:
PetroleumJelly wrote:Oh, apologies.

Firstly, if we claim, you'll be claiming a 100% confirmed Mason (corroborated by either myself or W!nt3r or both of us), so the town shouldn't be questioning you as to the restriction anyways. Unless they think you were recruited to scum, I suppose.

However, the restriction is this:

If both W!nt3r and I agree, we may force a posting restriction upon a person each night by "homeschooling" them: they will be so awed by our message that they will only be able to speak 20 words total the next day, including votes. You can probably understand why we have decided to never use our power, since we know it will hurt us more than help us.

Besides, the fact that you have a sort of posting restriction should make this more believable. DO NOT tell them about your protection powers, however: there is no need for anybody to know about that except us. If the scum target you and you successfully protect yourself, all the better.

And then I died (killed by Elvis Knits, no less). Hehe. I personally would have planned on attacking Elvis_Knits the next day, and while I was reading after I had died, I caught on to VisMaior almost immediately (although you obviously don't have to believe me when I say that). I realized Safer was the role-blocker after seeing who was role-blocked (Help Im a Bug, which pretty much left Safer as the only other option)after I had died, so I'm sort of angry I didn't catch it earlier.

Anyways, excellent game all! Starting with 4 killers with possible recruitment powers in a 12-player game, though? That game easily could have gone to the apostates in a handbasket.

Still happy I had EK pegged on Day 1, though. That'll learn her. Even figured she might be a Scum Cop (which actually made this game more insane, since it raised the chances that scum could recruit one of the "investigators"). =P

hehehe wow that was a super long post PJ. Liked it alot though. Well I just got back from camping last night and it was grand. I'm gladn to see that everyone enjoyed the game. I realized that some of ya feel that the game was slanted for the apostates to win and in a sense I suppose it was. THE GF had complete protection from Sk and the Recruiter had 25% protection.Micigante's 50% of protection I though kinda made it more fair for the town since it would be somewhat difficult to kill him. Saferbahamut was kinda like a random cannon in the game she actually only hit scum once and blcoked ELVIS from investigating one night. I put the Hometeachers( masons) in the game to basically screw someone over if they the masons thought they were scum. I mean come on wouldn't the twon likely lynch someone if they were limited to only a few words each day? Yes I most likely need to tweak things for MORMON mafia two to make it more town/scum balanced. Regardless overall the town played well and triumphantly won! GG all. I hope many of yall join us for MORMON mafia II.

Say, Kain, would you mind posting everybody's night actions? I'm rather interested as to who Logicticus tried to convert Night 1 after the lynching on Amelia.
