Lord of the Rings Mafia - Town wins

[barmyarmy]

Barmy getting poisoned again, I anticipated it to be honest.

Anticipated or initiated?

Would still love others to make observations on the Day 1 and Day 3 day-time kills. I observed the data as well, but still no possible speculations.

The daytime kills have to be by individual or cult aligned. No townie is going to be stupid enough to kill off user2010 who wasn't just a confirmed townie but was also probably the doctor. He had about the strongest claim of anyone in taking down AP. I guess that leaves Boromir or Gollum.
Maney has shown that he really doesn't care who dies as long as he survives so he's my chief suspect although SK doesn't really fit with Boromir's character.

----------

ETA: @P Squared - please can you let Papa Smurf or Abhas replace Mark?

 

[Papa_Smurf]

Yeah, if Mark's not being active at all then I'm more than happy to replace him and get this sorry excuse of a Town back into the game

 

[CG123]

I'm Shelob, individual. I win if I survive to the end and Gollum doesn't. I think Zohaib's Gollum hence why I was trying to get him lynched before. I also have a one time roleblock which I can use once a hobbit dies, which I used on night two on Spoobir (after Bilbo died on night one). I was pretty surprised with my win condition because iirc Shelob didn't attack Gollum in the movies, but I guess it's been made so that two survivors don't win along with the town/mafia (if Gollum is a survivor). I've generally being trying to help the town so I don't think you should lynch me, while Zohaib's done crap all towards your cause.

----------

I havent lyched anyone because to me those that were hammered seemed like obvious townies, and I am not in favor of getting rid of townies be them active or inactive

So is everyone a townie to you? I just think you're trying to play under the radar. You must have some suspicion about who's mafia to be able to place at least one lynch.

Also CCG, you said the last post of Adtiya was interesting, why do you say that?

Pretty obvious why. He was posting heaps of stuff about how he wasn't going to die so he was going to wait until the day to post his thoughts, but then he ended up dead.

Yeah Sachin Fan is the most suspicious right now as, Aditiya may have had some sort of one night investigation which he probably used on the first night that is why he was gunning for a lynch, on Sachin Fan

Also, Sachin Fan probably found out where Aditya was going and decided to kill him before he let out the truth

These are all possiblities.

I can't see why the mafia would kill Adtiya if sachinfan98 is mafia, because it would just draw attention to him like it is now, and with Colin's evidence it points towards him not being town.

Tbh I wouldn't be surprised if you turned out mafia, but I'm pretty sure you're Gollum because of the way you've played.

 

[Manly]

Haha surprised to see my post has started role-claims.


Wouldn't be shocked to see Varun as Mafia, so me being lynched (as it stands) wouldn't be too bad for you boys. I'd love to see a Town win now I've revealed my alignment.

 

[barmyarmy]

I don't know what to make of that. A frankly weird character and role claim but I guess, as we've seen with Tom you can get unlucky with who you're given. Hmm.
What are your thoughts on Chewie? I just get a really scummy vibe from him - I've tried to lynch him pretty much every day but without support from others.

----------

I'd love to see a Town win now I've revealed my alignment.

Probably shouldn't have killed Sam then...

 

[Manly]

I haven't done anything of the sort. Swear down bruv.

 

[barmyarmy]

Your word has of course been unimpeachable so far - apart from the 5 or 6 times you've changed it.

 

[Manly]

Haha. Well that's a fair comment but as will be shown at end game it's not me. Reckon it might be Zohaib to be fair.

 

[barmyarmy]

My worry about you Ben is that whilst we may lose one townie through lynching you we seem to be losing a lot more by letting you live. It's quite plausible really. Driven to grief by the death of your father you use your powers to murder anyone and everyone.
However, as I said, I believe you're not mafia at least and we really really need a mafia lynch today.

----------

I agree that Zohaib is possible especially if he is Gollum. He claimed Faramir very early in the game though and it would be a very ballsy claim that early when he didn't know who was out there.
The players to watch are the ones who claim last... If they have a strong claim they're probably townie power roles and if they have a weak one they're probably mafia. That's why my FOS is on Varun - think he's pretty much the last person to claim.

 

[Manly]

Now that we've got Shelob as individual, would that free up Gollum as mafia-aligned? Clearly in the films he's a douche, so if we could find him and lynch him off, he'd be a mafia?

Callum's alluded to the fact Zohaib is always trying to drive his lynch, and by his logic, he'd be a shout as Smeagol.... I'd suggest we go after Zohaib and see where we are from there. My second choice is still Varun, so I would be willing to fall on my sword if need be, and pick him off with me.

----------

Slow fingers. That, and Baseball Tonight.

 

[barmyarmy]

I don't see Gollum as mafia-aligned. I could certainly get behind a lynch on Varun but I want to see where my Chewie lynch goes first...

 

[CG123]

What are your thoughts on Chewie? I just get a really scummy vibe from him - I've tried to lynch him pretty much every day but without support from others.

He seems to be playing rather under the radar. He's made some good points, but they seem to be few and far between. Definitely a possibility, but with the nature of the game so if everyone without one of the major roles (including myself from your perspective).

@ Maney - Are you just cult with a one shot kill when you die? And if that's the case, what's your win condition, do you have to be left by yourself at the end to win?

----------

Yeah, I doubt Gollum will be mafia. From my win condition I've assumed he's another survivor.

 

[Manly]

How many Individual aligned players are you thinking there are in the game? Or moreover, non-town?


@Callum - I'm exactly what you described, bang on, and my conditions are(were) winning when the cult has won, if I'm alive and recruited.

Haven't been recruited, so I am the cult. And so I need to stay alive. Which, it's fair to say, is an incredibly unlikely scenario now.

 

[barmyarmy]

so if everyone without one of the major roles (including myself from your perspective).

I trusted you more before I heard your role claim. Trying to be slightly more cautious after lynching Arwen and Treebeard though.

 

[BKB1991]

Right I'm going to role claim and character claim. I want to start by saying that I think the write-ups have been very unfair and have given away both my role and character to anyone who read them properly.



Oh, look Gandalf is the roleblocker.



Oh. look Colin, who was poisoned, is a "wise old man". How many of those are there in LOTR?



Oh. look Colin who is the "wise old man", is a wizard.

Thanks write ups - you've been a lot of help...to the mafia who have now obviously poisoned me twice.

Night role info:

Night 1: I roleblocked BKB who is confirmed townie. Seeing as the mafia did something to him on night 2 they know already that he's the thief.

Night 2: Didn't roleblock anyone. Scared about killing the doctor.

Night 3: Role blocked sachinfan98. Someone still got killed and poisoned so he's not the godfather or poisoner.

Before I die I would like to make sure we lynch either a mafia or Maney. Here is my list of suspect roleclaims:

Elrond - chewie
Theoden - Culli
Faramir - Zohaib
whoever he ends up claiming - Varun

I would be confident that at least two of those are mafia.

Personally I'm going to say FOS: chewie, varun, Culli, Zohaib
Would like to hear a role claim from Callum and Varun. I'm satisfied sachinfan98 is clean for now.

My lynch is going on chewie. He has fewest posts of any player alive and all I'm seeing from him is comment rather than analysis.

Personally I think the town is now pretty screwed and I'm fairly annoyed that my character and role has been outed quite so obviously in the write-ups. I even had a kick-ass character claim ready

Yep, I can clarify Colin is Gandalf. I am roleclaiming too, I am Meriadoc Brandybuck, Prankster, Town-aligned aka as thief. I am roleclaiming cuz:

Night 3 ​

The mischievous hobbit was feeling unwell, but he knew that there was no one left to save him, and so he must face his inevitable death. He was also looking for something. Something that the wise old man had. He went into the wizards room and saw the object he was looking for. Quietly he stole that object and went back to his room.
[/B]

thats me mentioned there, hence I asked for the info about poisoning. I am dying as you can see, so might as well clear the air here.

Night 1: Wanted to check out Mark, but was roleblocked.

Night 2: Going for Chewie, but sent my PM to Treva and he didnt forward it to Psquared, and in the mess, my role was assumed as not sent in.

Night 3: Colin, and I found out hes a wizard.


These are the facts above and with my time limited, I will make some opinions on who I believe is what. Looking at night 1, I reckon Mark turned out Pippin. Spoobir and Callum are strongly giving protown vibes.

Reckon should push out roleclaims from everyone here, Chewie has been different, Hedger and Culli have been unconvincing townies, and the rest are hard to read. Mass roleclaim is the way to go.

You guys gotta try and save Colin till the end. I am gonna die soon, so back him out hes defo townie, plus hes got some common sense.
