    EDIT@Egos: Really, you don't see the logic there? He sees voting out simonwolf as suspicious. Simonwolf was confirmed to be part of the mafia. Therefore, he sees voting out someone who was part of the mafia as suspicious.

    By that logic, he doesn't want the mafia to be voted out, therefore, he's part of the mafia.

    Its more that he wasn't confirmed as mafia when the bw was on him. Unless I missed something drastic.

    Like Infidel was saying its a common tactic, when its clear that a member is going down (no chance of survival) , to jump on a bw for one of their own.

    See, I didn't know that, and now I look like an asshole

    Infidel

    3clipse cuz I'm goin down anyway.

    Not necessarily 3clipse, the day is still young and a lot of people jumped on you rather readily...which is oddly in your favor.

    TheLawinator - caught in an explosion

    Both Savant and Lawinator are the kind of players one would want to remove (as mafia) if you where worryed about someone drawing logical analysis of the villages behavior. Plus both have been playing phalla for a long while. I feel that these explosions are not random.

    I assume the mafia get 3 hits on players each day. I'm assuming at this point I was attacked because of a grudge more than being skilled.

    Thanks for the compliment there. As of late I have not been very useful, but I am now inspired by your words.

    Just as a quick tip, if you're trying to prove your innocence, voting for yourself is not the way to go. It's almost as suspicious as voting for a person because they vote for you.

    I only bring it up because you've brought quite enough heat down on yourself, you don't want to add more.

    For some reason I always thought of Savant as being the kind of outspoken Politician who actually has a message and gets assassinated for it.

    Too many people jumping on a bandwagon too quickly is typically seen as kind of suspicious, and has often resulted in votes towards the early bandwagoners.

    I don't think it will happen in your case. But the precedent is there.

    Also, voting for yourself is bad! Bad bad bad!

    Unless the mafia is really slacking or playing against expectations, they would usually try to curtail a starting bw by throwing out another vote with some logic.

    In other words people would care about the fact that you are dying and not just throw you away....Usually thats the case...


    edit: Even if the mafia does not start a counter bw - they will at least banter a bit to try to dilute things.

    Although it would really depend on how valuable each mafia member is.. In some games (e.g. where you have to outnumber the villagers or each member has a power) its very important. Others where the mafia as a whole get abilities and/or they don't necessarily have to outnumber anyone to win (though rare , it happens; and we have a ship that can take damage).

    Remember, narration went up only recently. There's still plenty of time for the mafia to try and shift the wagon, if in fact 3clipse is mafia.

    However, now that we've already discussed this possibility, less people are likely to attempt a shift, since that will draw attention to themselves. So the moral of the story is that if there's no shift, it might be because he isn't mafia, or because the mafia don't want to draw attention to themselves.

    Long story short, someone attempting to shift the wagon or not shift it doesn't tell us much, until we know where 3clipse's allegiance lies.

    Well. There is always another way. You may need to call upon the powers of an Epic Reveal.
    Of course wait a little while first to see if the bw changes.

    Basically you reveal your role in order to save your ass. Of course this only works if you are of some value to the "village"- e.g. seer ,vigi, or guardian type.

    People obviously are known to lie.

    My first thought was that 3clipse was acting awfully suspicious. Then I kept reading, and he shot right off the evil end of the scale (with perhaps a brief pause somewhere between Professor Moriarty and Dr. Doom), to the point where he was coming back around from the other direction. I judge that 3clipse has made about three complete circuits of the scale and subsequently come to rest around generic Bond villain territory.
