okay i'll try to make sense of all this
situation at beginning of day 2:
Alisha - ?
Aqua - ?
BetaPanda - villager
ChocoFox - cop (uncc'd)
Comp - vig (confirmed)
Duke - ?
Enderfive - town (confirmed by choco)
HKCaper - town (presumably)
Okx - watcher (uncc'd)
Roobarb Pie - doc (uncc'd)
Rune - ?
Shadow_Hunter3 - villager (confirmed)
TehBrian - ?
Unusual_Dood - ?
so everything looks pretty good, without taking any of the discussion of day 2 into account right now because i haven't gone through it in detail yet, looks like there's seven possible candidates for maf (including beta here since vill claims aren't exactly indicative of anything alignment-wise), so the odds of getting one when lynching between the unclaimed people and beta are pretty good
i'm also fairly convinced comp is responsible for shadow's death
what caused comp's death is open to discussion
AND NOW MOVING ON TO THE CLUSTERFUCK THAT IS DAY 2 SO FAR (unfiltered thoughts ahead, read at your own caution)
So I did my huge stunt yesterday CAUSE I THOUGHT the NL was not counted as the player with the most votes.
why would you think that and why does it matter
Also thanks WEAK for that NL being counted as a top player vote because of that I was forced to claim like LAST MINUTE TO SAVE MY SORRY BUTT cause SHADOW of all people was bloody PUSHING ME AGAINST THE CORNER.
uh you okay there? you're
way more upset at things than i'd expect anyone to be really
I think it's time we started forcing roles out of people. I've been deliberating this over the nightphase and since people are reluctant to vote Rune for some reason I'm like - done waiting. So I suggest, I suggest, I SUGGEST we vote Aqua and get him to claim ASAP.
Also sorry if I'm becoming like assertive from this point on cause I was like, so stressed out because of that last minute push on me I actually had to go for a long walk after that cause I thought I was dead.
I'm done with this and I was thinking over the night cause I thought I would be killed by the Mafia, but I wasn't - so, Aqua has been quiet since the start and selectively jumping on certain people. He also hasn't given an opinion on most people. Let's at least get a role out of him. I feel like the faster we move now the better our chances.
vote Aqua
okay uh there's like practically zero explanation here why you're going after aqua, i mean, yeah, okay, he's been quiet, but "selectively jumping on certain people"? not sure what you mean by that because i'm not seeing it
you could make the same arguments about duke or brian and they'd make more sense to me, so why pick aqua and "try to force a claim" when literally anything he could hope to claim without cc'ing anyone would be villager, which he would do anyway if he was maf
i just don't understand what your motivations behind this decision are if you really are the cop, as you say you are
Is it just me or is it that Choco is over reacting as he has messed up? Firstly, why would Mafia role block the cop when it's like the most powerful PR in the game, they would kill him ASAP. This ties back to yesterday, as he was trying to find out peoples roles to be able to find out what to claim without looking suspicious.
I fully believe that Choco is mafia, why would a cop claim on Day 1 when they fully well know that the lynch would fail. This was why Choco was trying to get me to claim to be able to have a better idea of what to claim and have a higher chance of claiming what HK had. He's even trying to get Aqua to claim now to be able to make Mafia's life easier.
Vote Choco
i agree with the overreaction part, although i'm not sure why he's overreacting
his actions on day 1 are completely in line with what i'd expect from the cop if they thought they were getting lynched, yet his actions thus far on day 2 are confusing, to put it mildly
i must say that there are legitimate reasons for the maf to try and roleblock the cop instead of killing him, so your argument against him is flawed there, and i'm also not sure why aqua claiming would make mafia's life any easier, since the only unclaimed town roles left are villagers. if he claimed a pr, it would expose a maf and if he claimed villager, it doesn't really help the maf at all, although i guess it doesn't really have much of an adverse effect either.
still, though, i don't see any reason for a maf to try and push people to claim right now
Rune, you're so happy to jump on me right now but since people didn't want to vote you yesterday I'm not sure if they'd want to vote you today. Not only did you not even give a defence to what was pointed out on you yesterday before the day ended, you're now trying to point fingers at me.
Honestly, idk what you're doing but clearly you knew about the NL thing and took the opportunity to jump on me today. That's actually a really good strategy to think about it.
it doesn't exactly take a rocket scientist to figure the lynch mechanics out tbh
Riddle me this, why would Mafia role-block you instead of killing you. Either you're lying and that you're mafia OR mafia are stupid and killed a villager instead.
Also, it's quite logical that if the limit wasn't reached then it's a no-lynch; so this excuse makes no sense either.
or comp hit the bomb and the maf factionkill was saved by the doc (roob this is where you swoop in to tell us who you saved)
Honestly either Rune just didn't read the signup thread and is playing bad villager or he's just trying to act stupid. I'd be happy to vote him if people were less reluctant (considering the consensus from yesterday).
If you guys start a wagon on Rune, I'll jump on it. Idk what he's doing tbh and I'd be MORE HAPPY to lynch him but given our current circumstances I'll leave my vote on Aqua from now.
i'm so confused by this
if you think rune is suspicious, why not vote him instead of aqua and try and get the wagon rolling yourself?
Because it's pretty default mechanics in EscRestart mafia games. Either having no-lynch having the most votes is automatically no lynch or not reaching the limit of lynch, and is therefore no-lynch. It's not a good strategy, it's common sense?
I don't this this works out in your favour of defence, as it's again common sense about the no-lynch mechanics. I thought I would try to word it to make it easier to point out that you messed up as a mafia and now you're being extremely defensive because you messed up.
I think it's really simple, Choco is mafia 100%.
i honestly don't see how any of this exchange proves anything other than that choco is clearly unfamiliar (for better or worse) with how mafia is played here and is now acting strangely because he's still operating in the mindset of some other format
Look, Choco, as much as I like you, you have to understand either you or rune are Mafia. Someone could be lying, we're all trying our best, except for one person. Lying is the name of the game and right now you still have NOT CLAIMED WHO YOU INSPECTED.
Do that, until then.
unvote
Vote ChocoFox
...what? first of all, choco did claim, he claimed he investigated roob but received no result, meaning he was blocked. whether that's true or not is a different matter, but all i'm getting from this post is that you're simply hopping on the wagon that rune is (very poorly) setting up
You wouldn't twist facts like that if you were Town. But the way how you're literally trying to force me to vote you right now makes me think Aqua, the other person I'm aiming right now could possibly be a more important Mafia role.
I still say we vote Aqua. We'll get Rune tomorrow.
or maybe you're being hella paranoid and this whole thing is just incompatible playstyles
Orrrrr you're lying as being Cop, and that you're mixing up common sense of claiming etc. You claimed Cop to try to get the lynch off you and then when you realised that in fact, no-lynch occurred. You though you would submit a fake-report and be overtly defensive to try to get suspicion off you. This is a common mistake for Mafia, being put into a tough situation and then becoming too defensive to try to make up for it. Your case is textbook.
but he claimed on the exact last minute
i'm not saying it's impossible, but it's certainly not likely that he expected anyone to come to his rescue this late, it seems more like a cop thinking he'll get lynched giving everyone the small bit of info he has so far gathered in order to help the town along at least just a bit
Rune honestly quit trying. I'm not going to switch my vote onto you cause my GUT FEELING tells me right now you're trying to protect Aqua who could be a much bigger Town PR for all I know.
Please just vote Aqua. Stop dragging this out this is so pointless idk what to even say. I'm UNCC'd cop and yet Rune is pushing on me with a FABRICATED fact.
idek any more
there's so many of those poor attempts at emotional appeal from both choco and rune
it doesn't even help prove your point, just makes it look like you're desperate for some reason and i can't figure out a single reason why you would be
There's a villager with a bomb, Comp probably went for Shadowhunter and got blown up. Then mafia did not submit a night kill for today in case they kill a cop by accident and make it obvious that Choco is mafia. Simplez
i can dig the bomb idea but why on earth would the maf ever not submit a kill
like in what world is that even remotely useful for them
your supposed reasoning is weak because a) getting rid of the cop is a victory even if it costs the maf one of their members and b) the chance of them hitting the cop (assuming choco is maf) is 1 in 8, and they need to kill in order to win the game
Okay. I understand going for Rune because of lying. Classic textbook tell of him being Mafia. But why are you going for Aqua?
Till then.
Unvote
Vote Rune
another post devoid of any reasoning and full of empty bandwagoning
i want a copy of those mafia textbooks everyone seems to have lying around, because i sure as hell don't see anything "textbook" about any of what has been going on this day
Listen to me Brian. I think Rune is trying to protect Aqua by putting suspicion on him. We get Aqua first, and if for ANY reason we think he's not a good lynch we go on Rune. We're running out of time.
why on earth are you rushing this so much
what is there to gain by piling on aqua right now before even a fourth of the day phase is over (when you made your post, a grand total of 46 minutes of the phase had passed, which is a ridiculously small amount of time to have before trying to rush a lynch on someone)
Yes but Aqua has literally said like, very little and he's like - extremely suspicious.
I'm okay with voting Rune but before we do that I feel like at least we should put some PRESSURE onto Aqua yes? Even if he's just a vill at least let him give us his opinions.
it's like you're channeling trump or something
you're saying nothing of real value, just empty emotional appeals all over
Alright. Makes sense to me. But, I know a lot of the time, Mafia try to protect others to make it seem like they're Mafia, and in the end you go for them and they lose. Maybe we should go for the biggest contender for Mafia first? I don't know. For now,
Invite
Vote Aqua
okay but why are you not using your own head to think maybe
What? Every PR is outed/dead ??
He's trying to get everyone to claim to make Mafias' life easy as they have no investigative role. Therefore he makes everyone out themselves so mafia can have an easy time killing the PR's.
the correct answer to that post is the post you're quoting
bullshit. nobody visited you last night!
vote choco
well this is certainly a development
what i want to know is if anyone would like to cc either okx or choco now (hint, if you're either cop or watcher, you should cc now)
logically, there should be at least one counterclaim that comes out of this, since obviously either okx or choco is lying and now i'm pretty sure one of them is maf
BREAKING NEWS: OKX JUST STATED THAT NOBODY VISITED CHOCO LMAO. I think that pretty much proves that he's mafia.
i mean it proves that one of them is
which one is up for debate
you guys really need to start taking things with a grain of salt
Trying to muddy the waters and trying to get everyone who disagrees with you and is stating you're mafia shows you're mafia yourself.
Aqua, don't claim.
no
We need to know who Roob saved.
One of these two things happened today, causing Comp (vig) and Shadow (villager) dead:
1. Mafia killed Comp (vig)
Comp (vig) killed Shadow (villager)
2.
Mafia killed x
Roob saved x
Comp(vig) killed Shadow (bomb) -> bomb detonated, killing Comp
If possibility 2. happened then whoever Roob saved is 100% town
thank you for this small bit of sanity
I think my arguments makes sense, and me being aggressive is literally my usual playstyle; which you can check through previous games. All I can say is that whoever tried to bandwagon me yesterday are most certainly Mafia
okay but how can you say this and think that choco trying to get everyone who disagrees with him makes him mafia at the same time
also, fuck meta
Hey guys I won't have internet for the next three days. So I wan't be able to play until the 6th... really sorry about that.
For now,
Vote Choco
Really hoping he isn't the real cop. Although the real cop hasn't claimed?
okay but why are you not using your own head to think maybe
