On the second day of work, a couple of wizards were under heavy scrutiny. SirSamVimes among them, both for looking suspicious while doing very little. He was paraded towards the window, and stoically or perhaps just silently, awaited his fate. Green Intern gave him the last shove, but there were plenty of willing executioners.

On Day 2, SirSamVimes, Good-Aligned Wizard (Town Vanilla), was defenestrated!



It is now Night 2. Please submit your actions as soon as possible.

Sorry for the delay folks, got pulled into a meeting right at the end of the work day.

The third day. Work must be done. The Wizards arose grimly, knowing that there would be dead in their midst. But perhaps there was a light? Only one wizard's life force was gone this morning.

On Night 2, Green Intern, Good-Aligned Wizard (Town Vanilla), was slain!



It is now Day 3.

But we didn't know if there was a roleblocker still out there. In fact, I figured that since town had a jailer that the scum team might not get a roleblocker.

Also, we don't actually know if someone protected me or if both killers hit the same target or if a kill was withheld. If someone did protect me, they should absolutely not reveal themselves at this point.

If the doctor can protect himself then he can stop a NK on himself for one night. And if there is a watcher in the game, that's a role that can at least nail anyone looking to kill a doctor. So there are points where revealing yourself as the doctor is an ok decision.

However, this is not one of them right now.

Probably Town
Podima - Posting fairly frequently, doing casing on multiple players. I haven't seen anything that makes me raise an eyebrow.

Kumbamontu - Likewise for Kumba.

Neutral/Undecided
Nth Doctor - I just don't have a strong feeling either way from your posts.

Gabriel Pope - People have said that he hasn't been making alignment calls, but he wasn't the only one being a bit soft about it (Someone Awful was hedgy too, but he was town, so as a behavioral thing this game, it's kind of null to me somehwhat). He was the vote on Hermetic just before the early hammering debacle.

TMMadman - Pushing Vimes, which I can't fault him for. Voted for Kashuno after Kash voted for Hermetic the first time, and then removed that after Hermetic started posting more due to prodding. Held that Biaga was getting ganged up on for defensive newbie town play. Do you still think feel this is the case?

Colonel Corazon - Alright, I'm mixed in my opinion here. You pushed Hermetic at the same time as Kashuno in your first big rambly post, and then voted Kashuno. Backed off on that once Hermetic started to break down. I reread this post of yours, and put out this weak assertion that Gabriel Pope would have been smart to kill Someone Awful, and then you back off on it. Immediately after giving Vimes a pass, you get back on Gabriel Pope for supposedly defending Kash while quoting him as saying that he thinks Kashuno is scummy. It reads like muddying the waters to me. I don't like it.

Kinda Scummy
Biaga - Sorry man, but as far as making cases goes, you're kind of trying to stick something on the current Big Target. I feels to me like you're trying to fall in with the crowd to avoid getting more scrutiny on you, since people were starting to press you harder for content. Your last few case posts haven't really been very deep, and have pretty much settled on pushing the same bits that everyone else is jumping on Kashuno for, for the most part. I think it's safe to say that we're all suspicious of Kashuno in some part.

SirSamVimes - Posting is really light on content D1. He brought up the whole setup spec discussion, which has been a minor distraction/annoyance throughout D2. Seriously light posting on D1, which comes down to "I'm getting ~vibes~
from Kashuno."


Kashuno - Other people have made the case better than I can. The hammer on D1 was real suspicious, and you have a lot of posts with terse replies when you'd already criticized others for doing the same.

I'm looking back at this post from Green Intern and I think the best options for today are probably from his Neutral section plus Biaga. And yes, I realize that includes me. I think Kashuno is sort of soft cleared for today, although there is still the possibility that he is a scum godfather or ninja. But given the fact that he didn't move on N1, that means he can't be the RB and he can't be directly connected to the N1 kills. I can't see either Podima or Kumba killing Green Intern when he thinks both of them are town, although most people have said they think Kumba/Podima are town. In fact, to play a little devil's advocate, town should still be wary of Kumba/Podima because most people see them as town, but they haven't been killed at night yet.

At this point, I think Biaga actually is scum and we let him off the hook D1 (I admit part of that was my fault), but I think his partner is actually Nth because I think Biaga is the only one who thinks Nth is town. I'm pretty sure everyone else is/was pretty much undecided on Nth. And then the other bad guy, whether scum or SK, is probably between CC and Pope. However, I'm going to start with ##vote Biaga. He has been the most scummy and although I was willing to let it slide on D1, it's not something we can ignore anymore.

Podima put a big case out on SSV too so I can't really say that anyone is town anymore except TMM.

I'm working 12 hours today and might not have time to reread tonight and post all my thoughts. I'll do some reading on my break but phone posting is a bitch. Can we be careful to not give scum a chance to quickhammer Biaga or anyone else?

I'm still thinking Biaga is scum too but I'm worried about Gabriel not voting. I'm also starting to back off of Kash :psyduck:

I think at this point it's obvious that we are dealing with no more than 3 bad guys, but it could still be just a two man scum team. The roleblock kind of throws a wrench in things and makes me wonder what kind of setup we are facing here, especially since there was a town jailer and now apparently a scum roleblocker. It's possible that there is just a 3 man scum team and one of them had a vig type kill that was used on N1. It could have been done to confuse things/make town think there was an SK or it could be done because newbie scum might have been worried about being lynched on D2 and didn't want to lose it.

One other thing that I wonder about is if some of the roles that traditionally move in the night are being subverted by the fact that we are wizards and cast spells which would throw off the trackers. For example, I don't know what a tracker would get from following me because I track movement from a distance with my spell. I think the killers would move in the night, but it's possible the roleblocker doesn't actually move and instead casts a spell to block without actually moving.

Alright, that's enough setup spec for the moment.

The only way that Kash could be cleared (or cleared barring godfather/ninja, which is what you seem to want to put him as) is if there are only 2 non-town roles and they both have kills. If there are 3, then there's nothing to say Kash can't be regular scum.

Gabriel Pope posted:

Where do you keep getting godfather from? Not following your logic.

In most standard games of Mafia, the scum team get a godfather type role that essentially can't be investigated. When the game contains a real cop, that usually means the godfather returns TOWN to the cop. In a game that doesn't have a real cop, it can often be a role that can't be watched/tracked.

So this game had a town rolecop and the roles flipped so far are: Wizard (vanilla), Scryer (tracker), Diviner (rolecop), Abjurer (jailkeeper). All those role names are pretty benign and a rolecop would almost certainly get a townie vibe from them (since I've played in a Foo flavor game before as a rolecop, I'm assuming that the return on the investigation would be the Wizard/Scryer/Diviner/Abjurer), so I'm guessing that the scum team is going to have at least one member that has some kind of evil sounding name (not even going to try to guess it) and then the godfather type will have a name that could go either but leans slightly town. If there is an SK, his role name would probably be either obvious to the rolecop or one of those either way names, but it would lean towards evil sounding. If it's a third scum, it's probably an evil sounding role name.

The 'godfather' could also just have a neutral sounding role name and be a ninja to avoid the trackers.

Thinking about it a bit more, I don't think the scum team has a ninja. If they had one then there is no real reason to block me. I wouldn't be able to track the scum killer and tracking a roleblocker to a non kill isn't likely to draw heat unless the RB target has an active role. Plus if there is an SK out there, I'm just as likely to track the SK as I am scum.

Blocking me seems to indicate that the scum team are worried about my role but didn't want to try to kill me because of a possible doctor.

I think there's too many different scenarios such that, until someone claims something, speculating about it is a bit crazy. For example: there were two town trackers, there could be two town jailers and one targeted you and a kill failed because of it. There's enough possibilities that trying to figure it out is likely an exercise in futility

lets look at the facts.

TMMadman outs himself as town tracker.

Day ends. 1 person is lynched, and 1 person is killed at night (remember 2 were killed night 1).

TMMadman posted:

I was roleblocked last night. I tried to track CC.

This means 2 things, either both scum parties picked the same person or one tried to kill TMM and was blocked by the doctor (who we are pretty sure is still active considering the roles removed from the game atm).

I fail to see how me making logical assumptions labels me as a townie threat. But then again we have all suspected Kashuno seriously throughout the last 2 days and we continue to chase other suspicions when one is staring us in the face. But hey, I tread off my determined path of outing Kashuno to vote with the group and kill SSV (which is sad but again he was a suspect as well). That said I love how the first thing Kushano does on day 3 is vote for me. Honestly, I think it was expected. Thought it just confirms my suspicion that he sees me as a threat and only raises my opinion that he is a scum.

Back to my real point.

##vote Kashuno

Also, we have 3 votes for me atm if Kumba mans up. 2 more and we can end another 3 days of cyclical arguments and you can finally see that I am townie. After you do that just promise that you will vote for Kashuno.

Biaga, there are two problems with your line of thinking. The first, I've already sort of addressed, but it's: why would the scum team block me if they were going to try to kill me?

If there is an SK and scum team out there, both of them had to figure I would get doctored if one is out there. So instead the scum team sends a RB at me and I think it's because they are worried about the role which means they probably don't have a role that can avoid being tracked. Now it's possible that the SK went tried to kill me hoping that the scum team would do the same thing and the second kill wouldn't be blocked, but I think it's more likely that we are facing a 2 person scum team that has the ability to do 2 NKs (whether it's odd night only or a choose between RB/NK or something else is up in the air).

The second problem is that Kash is essentially cleared. I successfully tracked him on N1 and he didn't go anywhere. So in order for Kash to be scum, he'd have to be a godfather or ninja on a 3 person scum team that either gets 2 NKs or had a vig type role.

Instead of focusing on Kash, tell me what you think about CC, Nth and Pope.

And to take some pressure off you, I'll ##unvote but state that I'm still very willing to put my vote back on you.
