[Fin] Time For Mafia - Game Over, Scum Wins

[Kennifer]

Okay, so from the options on the front page it looks like we've got a goon and a roleblocker on the scum side and... three vanillas on the town side.

Holy shit, that's not good.

[artsyGeek]

...okay, fuck.

We've only eliminated townies so far and now I'm concerned.

[PointMaid]

Yeah. It's... concerning.

[PointMaid]

Okay. A few things.

Yeah, my spidey-sense for sus has... Not Been Good. Me talking a lot has been part just that I have a tendency to be active in games (which, if you've seen me play, you know) and wasn't part of any murdergames so I definitely remembered that this was ongoing. But also, as I said, I've been trying to provoke people and get them discussing different scenarios because I've felt it's the only way we were going to get much to work with. That... has clearly not turned out the greatest. And then people were, 'Yes, this seems right!'. It made me concerned that people were following my lead instead of proposing ideas of their own. Please try to evaluate things on their merits. The only thing I did say to encourage people was that eliminating people put more pressure on the Mafia than not. It's certainly possible that was a serious miscalculation. I'm still not sure there wasn't something to it. Part of it depends on the ratio of scum to inno, which... unfortunately is getting higher. But yeah, if we mess up this time... OR don't hammer anyone, because they'd get us in the night.

I'm actually kinda sus of Oz -- like I said a while ago, not above suspicion. She's added her vote to hammer for both suspects. Possible bandwagoning -- let me say, I voted early enough in both cases I don't think I could be described as bandwagoning, more like people were jumping on my theories. And been fairly active, which could be part of a strategy to not appear sus (Yes, again... like me. I KNOW.) But she hasn't been offering much of her own theory, or trying to out and provoke anyone. So yes, I am going to put this out there. But please, please, evaluate on the merits and try to offer your own suggestions. Whether you think I'm sus or not.

[Kennifer]

Okay, so... right now I'm actually wondering about Goose, tbh. Not sure if he's been quiet because he's forgotten about the game or if he's being quiet so as not to incriminate himself or something. That, and as I've said even with the funny-haha-vampire reason he was awfully quick to jump in and vote on day 1.

[PointMaid]

That is true. One not-so-jokey reason for me to have placed my first vote for him. And he has been quiet.

[Kennifer]

Like I said, could be sus, could be forgetting about the game. Could be pretending to forget about the game in order to not look sus and only coming out at night to strike.

[PointMaid]

Yeah, and it was just after Sylvi posted a reason to try stuff and see what sticks, so I'm not sure being the first to do so is all that sus, although it could be.

[Kennifer]

It's a thing I've been pondering on and off since the beginning.

Actually a bit sus of you too (oh how the turn tables with you claiming to be sus of me!); on the opposite end of the scale you've been talking a lot, you've been pointing out clues that lead to townies getting hammered...

[PointMaid]

Yes, I know... I've addressed the 'talking a lot' thing as well as I can, I think. And why I haven't been shy to point stuff out when I see it. I've given reasons as well as I can, and that people have been following me rather than suggesting someone else... well, I can't help that. Unfortunately, this game isn't an exact science, we can only work with what we have, and I don't know what strategy the Mafia are using.

[Kennifer]

Well, right now my best leads are Goose, for the reasons I mentioned, and... you. For the reasons I mentioned.

[Caret]

I'm also pretty suspicious of PM, for the reasons stated by Kennifer.

[PointMaid]

"Mostly because she's been very talkative and suggested reasons people might be sus (which we're supposed to do). And people have followed her lead so when it turned out to be innocents, she's hammered on innocents."

Please, please... just think about that before you vote for me?

[Kennifer]

...hang on, who are you talking about? Yourself?

[PointMaid]

...Yeah. That was the idea. I know neither of you have actually voted for me yet. But please think very, very carefully before you do about exactly why.

[Kennifer]

I mean, the people you've suspected have all turned out to be innocent...

But we do still have time, and there's a couple people we haven't heard from yet today, so I won't vote just yet.

[GoldenCityBird]

It's proving to be quite hard to pick out two people who could be the evil team, especially in this scenario when everything's on the line. However, I do have a proposal:

Geek and Goose do seem to have been among the quietest in-game. On top of that, Goose hasn't defended himself from any accusations. In short, I'm rather suspicious of those two.

I'd be willing to vote for Goose, but if a good case comes up in his defence, I may reconsider. I'm more used to the large amounts of evidence tossed around in Town of Salem than games with low amounts of intel like this one, so I'm really pushing myself.

[Kennifer]

Yeah, this one tends to be more... speculation and trying to read people rather than evidence. Maybe I'm just so used to murdergames that I've lost my touch at regular Mafia.

Right now I'm leaning between PM and Goose, would like to hear Goose's defense before I vote for anyone.

[GoldenCityBird]

So, it's been over a day... I think Goose may be taking way too long. In this case, I will cast my vote now.

/Vote Goose007

[Kennifer]

How long do we have to vote?

[wingedcatgirl]

The Day ends at ~9:00 CT on 3/20. That's a bit over five and a half days.

Votes (3 to eliminate)
Goose - GCB

[Kennifer]

Ok. I think I'm gonna wait to hear from Goose and Geek then if either or both of them have something to say in their defense. I'm leaning more towards Goose or PM now, for reasons already stated but at least PM has responded.

[wingedcatgirl]

Y'all alive?

[Kennifer]

I'm alive, just waiting to hear from a couple people before I vote.

...are those people alive, is the question.

[PointMaid]

Yep, alive here.
