Thanks for letting me play! Sorry about my inactivity, my life has been pretty hectic lately and I wish I had more time to devote to the game.

Wow, I finally get enough time to post, and I’m 15 minutes away from getting penalty votes! Sorry everyone, I’m not paying nearly as much attention to this game as I should be. Not that it matters at this point, but I’m also going to Vote: Oroku Kirai (kotz) because her vote on Barbossa seems to be a revenge vote. “I’m going to vote you because you seem to have it out for me” is really shoddy reasoning. This seems like bandwagoning, but ah well. What else am I supposed to do when there’s 15 minutes left.

Sorry I haven’t posted yet, I’ve seen the thread but haven’t had the time to respond until now. I guess I have been on all four most popular votes, but I feel like the only one you could really argue was me jumping on a bandwagon was mid day two. Day one I was the first one to vote Ellie so there was no bandwagon for me to have voted on. Day two Finn said he was scum, so it was near unanimous. Day three was another unanimous vote, so you can’t blame me for bandwagoning there. I was surprised that my mostly throwaway vote turned into a bandwagon, is it wrong to be surprised by that? As for the second odd moment, I correctly assumed that the only way a town block could be started this early was if an investigator was involved, and I didn’t want to lynch someone who was either the investigator or cleared, so I unvoted immediately. I didn’t switch votes to Finn until he claimed scum because as I said in the thread, I thought his erratic behavior could just be his inexperience showing.

I don’t think you need to worry about being accused of bandwagoning when we have an investigation result that says he’s scum.

I feel like the idea of a fake block is a bit of a stretch. This just seems like a scummie desperate to not get lynched. Vote: Mad-Eye Moody (Mostlytechnic)

Right now I’m most suspicious about the early voters for Finn. Perhaps they were scum trying to turn the bandwagon away from their fellow scum onto an easy target? The case for voting Finn IMO could just be summed up to newbie mistakes until he literally admitted he was scum.

Here’s the exact quote: “Asphalt if bob don't vote today do you want to lynch him tomorrow?”

Whelp, looks like giving Finn the benefit of the doubt was a mistake. Vote : Finn (Foreman)

If there’s already a town block on day 2, then the worst thing we can do is lynch a member of it. Unvote: Wonder Woman (Forresto) That being said and done, I don’t know what to do with my vote. I really think Foreman’s erratic behavior is because of inexperience, and he’s really vanilla town.

Vote: Wonder Woman (Forresto) I don’t 100% agree with this lynch, but nobody else really seems that scummy to me, I’ve got to admit that this lynch will give us more information than lynching anyone else. Sorry for the rushed post, my life has been unexpectedly busy lately.

Well, I don’t think we really learned much from that. This lack of information definitely seems intentional though, so it was probably scum that killed him. Here’s the vote count with all known alignments edited in, it seems pretty useless now but i’ll add to it in the future,

Holy hell that bandwagon on Ellie formed fast. I was the first one to vote for her. I know I said it was a joke vote, but I did have my suspicions. I figured that she was a little too eager to vote for Hera. I didn’t think that it was worth an accusation, but I did think that it would be useful to see her reaction. I think that she’s handled herself well under the pressure of the votes, and right now I’m the most suspicious of the people who quickly jumped on the vote in the typical bandwagon spots.

I’m going to use my random day one throwaway vote on Ellie Sattler, because I’ve never met a trustworthy paleobotanist. Vote: Ellie Sattler (legomonorailfan)

“Woah, this is crazy! If I really were Doc Brown, I’d just travel to the future, find out who the scum are, then come back. But sadly, I’m just a cosplayer, a faker, a poser of the amazing man who is Doc Brown. He’s my hero! If we’re running low on useful discussion, I could always read my 500 page Back to the Future fanfic starring Doc Brown! Did I mention he’s my hero?”

Honestly forgot that was still in my sig.

Doc Brown is here! You’d think I’d be the first one here, with time travel and all.

1. Have you played Mafia before? If yes, what kind of experience do you have with Mafia? Yes, I have 3 or 4 games experience. 2. Will you be able to participate for the next four to six weeks? Yes.  3. You're heading off to the local convention! Which character from pop culture do you dress up as? Luigi, because the underrated Mario Brother deserves more attention.

Heckz having himself is genius.

I’m glad that someone mentioned power creep, because IMO that is the main problem with this game. This is the strongest weapon dropped in Quest 2, a quest where everyone sans one player was a level one: Chain Whip (WP: 4) This is the strongest weapon dropped in Quest 154, the latest quest where all players sans one were level one: Blackstone mace of muck (WP:20, earth- and darkness-elemental mace, user is confused for 1 round of the battle) That’s a 16 WP and 2 element difference. If there is a sequel to this game, there should be some limitations to prevent power creep.

I gotta say, watching how strong you guys are making your characters is really crazy. I can’t wait to see some of these builds in action!

Good job, town! And thanks for hosting, Bob!

Since the Town seems to want to lynch Thrawn and kill Needa, I will go along with that, hoping we can kill the last scum. Vote: Grand Admiral Thrawn (mediumsnowman)

Maybe Ozzel wasn’t lying when he said that he could only kill every other night? Maybe night 1 the Scum killed Isard, night 2 they couldn’t kill, and night 3 they were blocked.

Wow, this changes things a bit. There is absolutely no way that Dellus would know that Greer is neutral unless he is actually the investigator. That means that he definitely did get a town result on Thrawn, but Thrawn might be the Godfather. If we lynch one and kill the other like a lot of people are saying, then we will get at least one scum, unless there are 2 blockers, but I doubt that. Dellus, who else did you investigate? There have been 3 nights so far, but you only listed the results of 2. Having another confirmed alignment would be great today.

I’m leaning towards Needa being town and Thrawn being scum. Thrawn’s claim that the scum blocked him because he was a PR does not hold up, because Piett stated above that he indirectly told Needa to block Thrawn.
