Scooby Doo Mafia - ARay Wins!

[6ry4nj]

We definitely need to get a lynch this day and I have no idea what 6ry was hinting at, so maybe someone can figure that out...

6ry! I like it!

We do need a lynch today, so please lynch someone. Remember that even if you join a bandwagon you're not best pleased with, it doesn't mean that person will necessarily be lynched. As far as I'm concerned, the first few reasonable vanilla townie role-claims should be accepted.

Everyone except ARay and Callum have posted today, but there are only two (?) lynches on.

Btw, FOS: ARay, CG123

If you're only going to be on once in the next twenty-four hours, you need to lynch someone. Preferably each other.

On the other hand, for those who are prepared to put the requisite amount of time and effort in, you've got plenty of time. So take your time choosing, and then lynch someone.

ActUaLly I lean towards presSure on thE meek

What's the chance one of them is silenced? Putting pressure on them simply because they're not active probably isn't the best way to go about it in case that is the case.

 

[Spoobir]

I just read through the last 10 pages and picked up absolutely nothing new.

Although I must say it is nice having Sachinfan and Zohaib as confirmed townies as you can pretty much just skip their posts as they rarely add anything constructive to the town effort and now I no longer need to see if they're acting suspicious.

Should say I reread through the last 10 pages. Obviously I read them before...

Good point. That's very likely in ARay's case. I totally don't think it clears him though, because:
1. He might not have been the intended target of the silencer, due to the bus-driver.
2. It might be a ploy hatched among him and his mafia buddies to reduce suspicion on him.

 

[Varun]

Can't decipher any hints 6ry4nj might be trying to allude to, that is, if he indeed is.

How about we have the BD claim? We're running low on very solid hints, and perhaps we could try something with the BDs actions? And at least, if he dies in the following nights, we will know the BD has?

And honestly, I don't think claiming would subject the BD to a very strong possibility of dying the next night, or even being targetted. He can still switch things around, and piss off the mafia/SK.

Wow! You make me so glad I said:

Varun is obviously mafia

How the hell does it benefit the town if the busdriver identifies themselves? Why the f**k therefore would anyone but a mafia suggest it?

We would benefit from some hints from the bus driver as to what they know about who they swapped (note to self/town - something else to look out for), just as we would from the roleblocker who knows who the SK is. But role claims from power roles are precisely what we're trying (successfully so far, I might add) to avoid.

Unlynch: Spoobir
Lynch: Varun

That is precisely my plan - namely that you, the mafia, do not know whether I'm sending coded messages, or just gibberish.

 

[Chewie]

The more days go by, the higher the chance the mafia randomly pick the bus driver to kill and he won't be able to say who he's swapped and we'd be in trouble. But I think it's too early at the moment for the bus driver to reveal himself.

 

[MaD]

The bus driver is playing well, interfering with the Mafia kills and I see no reason for him to claim UNLESS he has useful information.
I'm with 6ry on this one,
Lynch: Varun

 

[Dr. Pepper]

I've spent ages trying to decipher all of 6ry's recent posts and got nothing.

I guess it makes sense to join in with the Varun lynch. Need pressure on someone. But with 6ry seeming so sure that he's mafia, that doesn't really put him in good light if he isn't.

Lynch: Varun

 

[Dr. Pepper]

Btw, a heads up. I'm in the process of moving house so I may not be as active over the next few days.

 

[Spoobir]

Lynch: Varun

All aboard the bandwagon! Next stop, pressure town!

Vote Count

Varun (4) - 6ry4nj, MaD, Dr. Pepper, Spoobir
Spoobir (1) - Varun

With 13 alive, it takes 7 for a lynch.

 

[Varun]

I saw it coming. I'm not mafia, first of all, I don't mind character claiming.

How the hell does it benefit the town if the busdriver identifies themselves? Why the f**k therefore would anyone but a mafia suggest it?

We would benefit from some hints from the bus driver as to what they know about who they swapped (note to self/town - something else to look out for), just as we would from the roleblocker who knows who the SK is. But role claims from power roles are precisely what we're trying (successfully so far, I might add) to avoid.

And this game's too simple, eh? Perhaps you've never been mafia, but having been one with experienced players like ARay, Chewie etc, I know how ridiculously easy to decipher (or at list shortlist) the major roles in a little time.

And you think I'd be an idiotic mafia player to openly come and ask the BD to come out? To be honest, I'm lost. And nobody's doing anything very helpful either. Nobody's been even very suspicious either (except two, who, ironically are Velma and Fred) And we needed to do something, didn't we? (well, again, ironically, we are doing something, lynching me)

And why do you think that the BD claiming would endanger him? As much as I know about the BD, and can predict about the roles in this game, he won't be.

And if you really think the BD's hinting would help, you're thinking wrong. From my mafia and modding experience, I know that it's obvious that if mafia have some very smart player (which they seem to have now) he can decipher it way earlier than us (and it usually happens) and what if they do away with him? We'd never know the BD's dead, and it could be used to mislead us?

That is precisely my plan - namely that you, the mafia, do not know whether I'm sending coded messages, or just gibberish.

That plan was obvious, if you think I was a mafia, and fell in your trap.

----------

I can defend myself, I am town this time, and I don't really have anything to be afraid of. But just re-read my post again, and you'll know what I am suggesting.


ETA: If you all have any allegations, just bring 'em up.

----------

And finally, I just suggested it. 'How about' suggests more like an attempt to achieve a consensus rather than straightforwardly asking the BD to claim, doesn't it? If anyone has better plans, then sure.

 

[Spoobir]

No one has solved my code yet...

 

[Zohaib]

I aint understanding this decipher stuff so I am gonna stay out of this till someone tells me how it will benefit the town

Like you guys said, the roles arent revealed on death so they isnt any use doing it because we wont know who the busdriver is
