Puddle Mafia 01 - Game over. Town wins.

[barmyarmy]

Ah. Whilst day follows night, night 1 would usually follow day 1 not day 0.

 

[Varun]

My analysis of the night writeup:

Para 1: The GF calls 'Bevab', the goon, and with no response from him, he decides to make the kill himself. Not sure what the siren means, probably what Colin said.

Para 2: SK (Zhuorb) prepares to make the kill.

Para 3: The killing of tracker (Manly) by SK.

Para 4: Cop? I'm confused. The last line is incomprehensible. Whirling lights indicate towards investigations, but nothing is clear. Who'd have some explaining to do? The cop?

Para 5: SK killed by GF.

With Bevab turning up mafia as I expected, I believe only one mafia is remaining, but I'm not completely sure about that. My top suspicions are BKB and Aditya (and Colin merely because he can't be trusted). BKB because I have found his play slightly dodgy (and he has found mine!) and has managed to post while still staying under the radar. Aditya because of obvious reasons. Mark is almost town for me.

I'm more than inclined to lynch Adi today, but let us be patient.

Oh great, everyone's a vanilla townie
I guess Mark is one too which leaves 5 of us and 4 vanillas...

Have you claimed Colin? I don't think I have seen your post.

Heh I realised that once the game was underway. Give me a break, I'm new at this... (modding mafia games I mean, not basic arithmetic heh)

For some reason I wanted to start Day 0 to give everyone a chance to confirm roles and maybe try a few early lynches, then it was really night 1 we were starting from. Lesson learnt for next time Also, first post has updated game log and who's alive etc if people don't want to have to search back through the thread for write up information

 

[Bevab]

Holy kerpluck. I almost had this game won, and then the mafia killed me. kerpluck me. By the way, you can thank me for killing your tracker.

I thought you weren't supposed to say who you killed. This should result in a ban.

 

[puddleduck]

I thought you weren't supposed to say who you killed. This should result in a ban.

Err well the story pretty much confirms that happened, and since both he and the Tracker are dead, not exactly rocket science Don't derail the thread Bevab

 

[Manly]

Disappointed to be dead, but the lynch % falls again haha

I may have played a game that's too open this time round, but I play an open game so never mind, I move on.


Best of luck chaps!

 

[barmyarmy]

@Varun - I have soft claimed.

 

[Varun]

That's what confusing me, you know. You've seemed to soft-claim cop, yet the things don't add up.

----------

Or they do. Are you insane?

 

[Aditya]

Mark is almost town for me.

How exactly?

Among all the players alive, Mark has looked the most suspicious to me. Correct me if I'm wrong, Mark hasn't done anything in town's favor. For the matter of the fact, none of us have.

 

[Varun]

Just wait, first let Colin answer.

One thing I want us to do is to reach a consensus (of majority) before lynching someone. At this point of the game, we're not sure how many mafia are remaining, and thus cannot leave the possibility of quick bandwagons open.

Vote Count:

Varun (1) - BKB1991

With 5 alive it takes 3 to lynch

 

[Aditya]

It's surprising how inactive BKB has been (8 posts). Yet, I feel as if he has contributed very heavily to the game.

 

[barmyarmy]

As Varun says I am the insane cop. Here are the pointers in the write-up:

It was still pouring outside, but he knew he'd have to venture out. He locked up his desk and made his way towards the building's car park exit. He thought back to his last good holiday, boating near Paris in the north of France with his partner. Those were the good times. Those were the memories that still shined. He got into his well travelled vehicle and switched on the radio. Pink Floyd soothingly greeted him... ?Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs? he sang along blissfully before stopping abruptly. "Strange" he thought as he switched it to the right frequency, ?I could have sworn I filled her up.?

The Pink Floyd reference is to a song on Dark Side of the Moon called Brain Damage - the Lunatic. I investigated bevab here but was blocked.

He headed out for the second night in a row, he took his trusty kit with him and again he succeeded. This time though, his previous success had bred a gentle arrogance. On the verge of leaving and from within the darkness the whirling lights meant for sure he'd have some explaining to do.

Someone is blocked here and it's not me. That means that we have the following roles still in the game:
Godfather
Insane cop
Role Blocker
???

Clearly there are 4 roles there and 3 of you have already claimed vanilla...

I investigated Aditya last night and got anti-town. However, even though I didn't get the chance to test my sanity on bevab the write-ups have strongly suggested to me that I'm insane. On that basis I am clearing Aditya who I was suspicious of before. I realise I'm outing his role here too (if you can read between the lines) but I wouldn't get an innocent result for him if he was mafia unless he was the GF which he can't be (try to keep up!).

That also adjusts my theory of a 3 person mafia.

Therefore...
Aditya is lying but town.
BKB or Varun are lying
Mark is lying low.

I called for a mass roleclaim as I thought it was the best chance of victory and stand by that. The town power roles need to stop protecting themselves and help us to eliminate suspects. On the basis on Aditya being town there may only be one more mafia.

Regarding the blocked roles (??? above) it would most logically be doctor. If we have a confirmed doc, cop and role blocker it really can't be too hard to work out who the mafia player(s) are.

 

[Varun]

That is me, Colin. I'm the sane cop and I targeted Aditya last night as well. That'd explain the whirling lights the departing guy (the roleblocker, now I think) saw while leaving. He had blocked me, but you were also investigating Aditya, so he had some explaining to do. I targeted Bevab last night and got him anti-town which confirms my sanity.

Due to lack of results last night, I was hesitant to claim because I felt I was the only cop out there. You were right about me holding myself back, because I didn't want to even give a slight signal to anyone that I'm the cop. That's why I mostly stayed away from insane-sane cop discussion. I was sure Bevab wasn't the miller, and I was sane - he gave himself away somehow despite his claim. But still I didn't give any vibes that I had investigated him. Sedition and Zhuorb both have gone down because they were thought cops by the mafia (Sedition used that cop reverse-psychology thing and Zhuorb lynched Bevab right after Night 1). Although I did post some facts that I indirectly knew from my role, in order to bring them up in case someone counterclaims cop and tries to get me lynched. I posted twice that there had to be an individually aligned player in the game - which I knew from that I get [Pro-Town] or [Anti-Town] results. The [] brackets should also convince you, Colin, pd should've used the same in your PM.

I wouldn't have been convinced by your claim, but those two paragraphs point towards it being true. I was most puzzled initially about the 'whirling lights' which signified that an investigation had nevertheless occurred despite me being roleblocked. But you being cop explains it.

 

[barmyarmy]

That leaves BKB and Mark. Lynch one and block the other.
