[Mini-Phalla] Blackout--Game Over! Mafia Victory

The only other plausible scenario is that Infy was targeted night one, but it was blocked, so they were trying to stack kills to get him down. But that's really not the best strategy, so I kind of doubt it...

If that's the case, though, voting records are going to be near-useless.
Hopefully our likely-confirmed vig can get in contact with a seer and Burnage in order to sort out who our next target should be.
Just in case I sleep in past vote close tomorrow, though, I'm going to put a placeholder onto visiblehowl.

being evil suits you.
Did I miss something in thread regarding Savant and him doing something suspicious, or did he do something behind closed doors that makes him a probable suspicious person?

It's amusing how well you think you can read me
Not that I'm disagreeing, of course.

i was curious about that as well. he just seemed to come out of nowhere and defend himself.
Yeah I really think this Howl vote has no merit. I doubt he would ever do something like that. My assumption is with eecc, mafia and guard probably targeted the same person.
I was pretty clearly active on Day 1, so if I didn't send in an action, it probably wasn't because I wasn't around to do so. Which leaves a) the excuse I gave (reading comprehension failure) or b) I'm a mafia and was...purposefully not sending in my action? That would be a pretty stupid move for a number of reasons. First of all it draws attention to me, which is always bad. Secondly, I'd be giving up my Day 1 kill, which is pretty dumb. Thirdly, it didn't even benefit me at all; it didn't prove anything to the village about my role. The only thing it proved was that I wasn't a vig or a seer.
Basically, there's no reason for me to not send in an action if I was mafia. And, contrary to what seems to be popular belief, I'm not a moron.
Thusly, I'll be voting for Dunadan, for two reasons.
1) Self-preservation
2) The whole "I knew something you guys didn't because you're idiots, but I'm not going to tell you how I know" always rubs me the wrong way, and is also pretty suspicious.
Ahhh... I see you leave out the third option, of you being mafia, but being terrible and having hit a guard. Occam's razor tells me that's not likely though...
A fourth option though, presents itself, and is slightly more likely. The kind Ahava, in her infinate wisdom, may have found it humourous to imbed a serial killer in the ranks that didn't know they were a serial killer. And that could be you.
I also find duna to be always rubbing me the wrong way.

Well, I didn't target anybody who died last night, so I at least know for myself that I'm not a serial killer!
We have 25 people. Lets say 15% of them are mafia which is about 3.75, if you round down you would get 3 Mafia each with their own individual kill, but they are unnetworked hence the overlap.
OR
We have 4 networked Mafia with 2 kills, and a SK and the SK and Mafia overlapped on a kill.
The second scenario seems more likely to me, just because I think 3 Mafia is kind of small, especially if they are unnetworked and if there were anymore mafia it wouldn't make sense.
It makes little sense for there to be anymore than 3 unnetworked mafia. Would one of the mafia just be a gimp one with no kill? RNG? 2 masoned and 2 not?
Well, I told burnage who I targeted the first two nights and maybe he thought I was suspicious based on that. I'm not really sure. I don't like it when he talks about throwing a vig my way though.
I could see there being 4 unnetworked mafia potentially, but that doesn't line up very well with three kills and a double up on infidel. Perhaps there are 3 unnetworked mafia and one of their first night kills got guarded or blocked somehow?
Honestly, it was because you and Job posted relatively quickly after vote close. In my experience that's a mafia tendency.
When I posted that message this morning, I had no more information than the rest of you. I am glad that there's not been mindless bandwagoning. Give me a bit to read through my PMs, I'll see if anything good has come up.
I agree
Mafia can have abilities other than kills.

That would definitely be Ahava's style.
Soooo.... gut feeling then. Not necessarily the most, uh, scientific, method of elimination. At all. But sometimes it works out.
In this case, I was writing a reply to shel, hit preview, saw our picture narration had come up, and just went ahead and added my thoughts to the same.
That, and I was on the chop block in a close race. If there'd been any vote maniupulation abilities, it could easily have gone the other way. Gotta hang around for that. No fun at all if I just went to sleep and didn't post something.

Sometimes. Speaking of which, could somebody who is more familiar with his playstyle tell me whether Savant always gets this jumpy when somebody claims he's suspicious?
For what it's worth, I think VH has a pretty good defense here. He's got three posts that I can see on Day 1, so he seems to be on the level.
I don't know about the narration though... It's tempting to think that one of the mafia kills hit a guard on night one, but isn't three mafia kills a bit much in a game of this size?
I have some free time at work. Went ahead and... ugg... went thru his last few games.
Villager in this one.

Mafia here.

And of the games he's played in the last 250 posts he's made, that's all the times I was able to find a strong accusation made against him.
In non-related news, I'm throwing my hat in the !Duna ring. I do infact agree with the logic from Vishowl. Also, just from the numbers, Duna's first post today was relatively close to narration too, so if Burnage's gut feeling is right, then I feel that extending his net by five minutes to be A'ok. Also, his first post was to vote for me. And since I'm not mafia, then what better way to for him to try to be sneaky then to try start up a bandwagon on yesterday's second place right off the bat out of the gate. Seems evil to me.

You disappoint me.
I can go for the dunadan019 bandwagon. I think he voted for me earlier, which was not nice of him.
Mental note. As of this post, the following people have not yet voted:
Bremen
fadingattheedges
Fatal3RROR
iamtheaznman
kuhlmeye
Osvik
psolms
Zandracon
Stop that. I really don't.
Although what little information I do have tells me you should all aim at eeccccoo tonight.
I know I sent you information, was I the only one?
Oh, my apologies. I thought you meant useful information. I know the seer, I know the vig, and apart from that I have a list of targets for each night that don't really tell me anything.
Edit: what Garroad_ran said, basically. I have no way of verifying whether someone was actually targeted, so the mafia are just going to feed me fake targets.
Nope. But on the whole, what information we have to send isn't very useful. Mafia can just grab two names at random from the OP and say those were their targets for the night.
Villager's can be truthful.
But since the only evidence we have of what actually happens are some green words on a black backround, there's not much that Burnage would be able to decipher from it.
Heck, we don't even know for certain what roles are present in the village, except for vig and seer.

These are also - give or take - the players that haven't sent me any info, so I'm assuming inactivity on their parts rather than mafia avoidance. Hrm.
