okay i think i wanna play this :) just one question... what distinguishes between day and night?

like a "day" is 7 regular days... so is every night of those 7 days... "night" (in which you can perform your actions if you have a special role)... sorry if i'm not describing this right... basically...

of the 7 day time limit on game days when is it day (when you lynch) and when is it night (for special roles)?

@Moch, "day" and "night" are terms for the game phases. Read previous Mafia's.

Is a serial killer necessary? Since we'll be having a couple of newbies playing I think you should avoid adding one, it makes things deteriorate into random.

ok well i looked all the way back to what appeared to be the first Mafia game and it says the same in the first post... towns people lynch during the day and mafia do sneaky things at night... so i'm still lost as to when exactly during the 7 days of a mafia "day" is it daytime and night time... if anyone would like to clear it up for me I'd appreciate it... if no one wants to deal with a noob thats kewl too.
Title: Re: Mafia 8- Signups
Post by: LimeLemon on December 16, 2009, 09:14:40
Well. The game usually starts off with a "Day", Day 0 or Day 1. The "Day" ends when one person is lynched (recieves a majority of votes) or when the deadline is reached, then the user with most votes is lynched (usually). In this case, the deadline for one game "Day" is 7 real life days. After that comes "Night". Then all special roles send in their actions. The "Night" ends when all actions have been received or when the deadline is met.
Hope this clear things up for ya!

@Newcomers, just FYI, the game generally starts with random voting and then (hopefully) people find suspicious things others have said and the game starts moving.

@Shawn, I recommend you extend the first day's deadline a bit because its Christmas is coming up and I expect less posting (I will be on less for one).

..and remember, an active town is a town with a chance. A lurker town is screwed :P.

BTW, This is not a vote.

This post seems to explain why you haven't voted for Data. It gives the reason for withholding the vote on him because 'something happens when he plays mafia'. Quizzical, at least. Why would a proneness to 'make something happen' indicate scummyness or towniness? This question would be answerable if Peppy actually defines what she means by 'something happens'.

I think the assertion also tends to be wrong. I seem to remember me having to pester Data for being inactive quite regularly in earlier games. Although I may be mistaken.
That leads me to this: I find it queer that Peppy is metagaming. The first requirement for being even a halfdecent metagamer (which is pretty much impossible, as metagaming is pure conjecture) is being a veteran mafia player at this forum. Which I think she is not.

From past experience (little as it may be with her), Peppyhare is very much the Chaotic Neutral. In a game like mafia, it doesn't pay to give such players the benefit of the doubt or let them stay in the game longer at the expense of more useful but perhaps even more suspicious ones.

Ill change my mind when people are more suspicious to me
These are the utterances of a most classic Chaotic Neutral.
Rather, a player who either hasn't quite got to grips with the general concepts of mafia, or is purposefully being... chaotic neutral.
Why on Earth would others' opinions of a statement of yours directly influence it? The only case this occurs is if you are mafia.
I see this as a Chaotic Neutral tell rather than a scumtell.



Hmmm... Peppy, might want to avoid saying things like that, unless you really want to be lynched.
Out of pure interest in having more than one line of inquiry, what do you mean by that? What shouldn't Peppy be saying?

Kaizo wishes him to not say things like that. Kaizo's tone seems to imply that he wishes her to be silenced (at least for his own good).
His tone also implies that he's biased against lynching her, that he would rather have her shut up if she is scummy rather than scratch away at her scummyness until it is uncovered.
A townie should take a townie up for every action of said second townie that they see as scummy. As it is clear that you see at least some of Peppy's words at least somewhat scummy (I'm not sure if I agree, that's beside the point) you most definitely should be poking at those things you see as scumtells, not trying to tell Peppy not to say such things, even if it is for her own good. For all you know, she might be scum, right?
(Again if Peppy's actions are actually scummy is beside the point. I am talking about your response to a perceived scummy action as opposed to the response of a regular townie, the responses are most different).

Don't just criticise Peppy. Give him a chance to improve. I don't want deadweight in the town.

@Peppy, Town want to find scum, they have to scumhunt. Finding scum is more important to the Town than surviving. Trying to appease people to avoid being lynched will get you lynched. Trying to find scum will make you more pro-town.
(The good thing is that even if scum know this they still slip up :P)

Nope, Peppy. That's not a random vote.

A vote has power, a vote pushes a person towards their lynch. A vote scares scum.
There is a reason random voting is a good way to start, eventually someone will crack :P.

A "threat of a potential future vote" is not very threatening. Its weak.

I apologise if I came off as over critical.

Theiza
Ain't no OMGUS, she hasn't posted in a while.
I would gladly go with a most inactive vote this D1. I mean, with the holidays were not going to get much conversation.
So yeah.

POST!

@Lunar, I was just trying to mix some teaching with the criticism.

@Moch, how do you expect to get information then eh? It's the duty of all town to scumhunt.
@Kaizoman, is it more likely in your opinion that Peppy's actions were a newb tell or a scum tell?

All I was saying was that what Peppy said would make people assume he was a Mafia member, whether he is or not. I don't want new(ish) players getting lynched because they said something that was taken the wrong way.

I may be picking at old scabs but I'm not sure that you guys got my gist.

Since Peppy is still somewhat new to this, I just wanted to point out that its those kind of things that make people sound like scum.
My point being, Kaizoman, that you can't know if what Peppy said was a slip (he just said something that would make a townie sound like scum), or if he actually said something scummy because he's scum. The only possibility of you knowing this for sure is that you are scum.
The fact that you didn't acknowledge the possibility that Peppy could be scum is weird, its too friendly, it comes in contradiction to what a selfish townie would do.

@Peppy: What do you think about all this? Was Kaizo right to assume the best of you? Did Kaizoman ignore an opportunity to find some scum? Should the town in general adopt the tenets of 'innocent until proven guilty' and 'reasonable doubt'?
The town can feel free to answer these, obviously.


@mod: So, what happens when our time is up?

I can't post much for a while. It would be nice if you don't lynch me for being inactive. C)

It looks like were going to lynch someone for being inactive, at least as a show of will.

Do you guys agree that we should lynch someone D1 regardless of suspicion? Is it correct, is it in our interests in this instance to remove him who drags us down the most?

It would surely be interesting to see what Theiza would do if there was a plurality (as opposed to majority) lynch coming up soon.

@mod: I'd like to ask for a possible elongation of D1. Maybe 24 hours? If things slow down (how slower could they possibly be) you could (should?) unexpectedly cut the deadline short.

If that were true, I wouldn't be telling you not to say stuff.

The fact that you didn't acknowledge the possibility that Peppy could be scum is weird, its too friendly, it comes in contradiction to what a selfish townie would do.
I never said I didn't think that Peppy could be scum, I just said that some things he says will make people assume he's scum. Personally, I want these games to be more of a challenge rather then a Win-The-First-Day game (though that couldn't exactly happen).

i suppose i would be interested in what i would do as well because i have no idea what that is lolz :)

@Kaizoman:
I took it for granted you found Peppy a little scummy, at least.
What do you think about Peppy, and why?

I never said I didn't think that Peppy could be scum, I just said that some things he says will make people assume he's scum.
You didn't accuse him of being scummy when he was being scummy.
Why didn't you accuse him of being scummy?

Personally, I want these games to be more of a challenge rather then a Win-The-First-Day game (though that couldn't exactly happen).
Wait. You didn't follow up a legitimate lead because you felt that it would be too easy for the town to find some scum D1? Is that correct?

i'm perhaps slow, but what is a plurality lynch?
A plurality voting system is when the person with the most votes wins.
A majority voting system is then the person with the most votes wins, with the added restriction that to win you need more than half of the votes (a majority of the votes).

It looks like we'll be having a majority system (first person to get half all the players' votes gets lynched) unless the time limit elapses, in which case the person with the most votes gets lynched, regardless if there's only 3 out of 7 people voting for him or her (or you).

@Theiza: Who do you think we should vote instead of you? Who is the most likely to be a better choice to lynch rather than yourself?

Well, mostly because of my reason for being inactive. (Which I forgot to post because I am so smart)
I had a really horrible connection to the internet when I posted that, but it was going to get better after a few days.
Not that it's a very good reason, but whatever.
I need to read through the topic before I can start posting more seriously though, but that won't take long.

*I pound my fist angrily on the desk*
I decide to unvote:Dataflashsabot until more information develops.
So basically, you are going to wait for a bandwagon to jump on? Why not try to gain some "information" on your own?

I'm very sorry sir, never been good at uprooting information.  In fact, I'm downright horrible at it. I should probably take more classes in law or something.

But the fact remains, information, in any sense of the word, does not mean " follow the crowd"; who says i will? Have I voted for Theiza? I think not. So please, excuse my ignorance for the time being.

Pointless bashing.
Why are you getting so upset over a question?

But the fact remains, information, in any sense of the word, does not mean " follow the crowd"
Of course it doesn't. Information is a verb. This brings us to an interesting point though. What do you mean by information?
Do you mean a townie pointing out someone else as scummy, or do you mean a townie being scummy?
If it's the former, then you are just waiting for a bandwagon to happen.
If it's the latter, then I think that you should try to scummhunt more.

who says i will? Have I voted for Theiza? I think not. So please, excuse my ignorance for the time being.
You kind of implied it yourself, actually. I wasn't sure though, so I asked.
Also, I don't remember any bandwagons against thezia.

@ budja/razzorman
A decent start anyway.
unvote, vote Theiza

The above is why I was suspecting a Theiza bandwagon. Granted, it was probably too early to consider it that, but regardless, tis always a possibility.

Leading off of that, I'd love to add this- let's all recall that there isn't just a mafia this time. There also happens to be a serial killer, who is a threat to both sides of the town- scum and innocent both.

And as such, i have 3 examples of people who have been getting my goat-

So, I'd like to state first @ Budja-
Your posts, thus far, have been only following Lunar_Tick's vote, your random vote, and defending Peppy.

Then, @Kaizoman-

All of your posts, with exempt of your random vote, have been defending Peppy.

And, following my above two posts, @ Peppy,

You've had two people defending you, it seems that one way or another, arrows are pointing to you being scum. as such, I declare my new vote-

vote: PeppyHare4000

The first couple of votes are usually random in the beginning of a day to start a discussion.
However, a random lynch is not how you'd want to finish a day.
Now that there is a discussion going you should try to ask questions and such to find scum, and then vote for them.

@ Mod
Could you extend the day a little? I think there is still some discussion that we can get out of D1.

1. Casting a random vote now is also scummy.
2. Theiza's vote on Moch was "accidental". Why the bold then?
---
This game is still on the ground because of lurking (understandable, I am guilty too) but also from indecisiveness.

Read the thread. Make a vote with a reason. I don't care if it is weak.

@Mochalatte, yep thats what I've done and that more than most people here.

Lunar, Moch and Razz are trying.
I cannot read Peppy.
Limelemon is only passing off weak statements.
Kaizo defended Peppy a bit but also weak.
Data is non-committal.

Theiza is the best lynch. LL and Kaizo are next best.
So.. agree with me or convince me otherwise.

you're right, i did in fact type her name in bold but i suppose i was confused... its true this day has lasted really long so it slipped my mind that i had made that random vote in the very beginning of the day for L_T... i totally forgot this when i answered L_T's question about who would be a better choice to lynch than myself....... and... i'm new :oops:

so my vote stands at Lunar_Tick (do i have to bold that again?) and it is no longer due to random reasoning... he/she i feel is guilty of over participation... which in my opo is as suspicious as anything else :mask:

hey, if u want to treat this realistically... wouldn't you be suspicious of someone who seemed as if they were overly-participating? maybe to compensate for their true identity? that person who always had something to say about every person and every action taken (no offense L_T)

Because he's Chaotic Neutral.

I agree.
@Limelemon: It looks like were gravitating towards a theiza lynch. Do you approve?

Data is non-committal.
Where is Data?

Theiza is the best lynch. LL and Kaizo are next best.
Why do you think theiza is best?
You pumping up your argument on Kaizo would be interesting. I think the Kaizo-Peppy conjunction in early D1 has been overlooked by the town.

I just want to get through this day <_<
Hm.
Why such a hurry to finish the day? We clearly have room to get a discussion going. Are you that reluctant to make a post with more than 20 words?  :P (Ah, the brilliance of smiley faces; now nobody can accuse me of being passive aggressive)


:P

so my vote stands at Lunar_Tick (do i have to bold that again?) and it is no longer due to random reasoning... he/she i feel is guilty of over participation... which in my opo is as suspicious as anything else :mask:
Wait, what? Is over participating even possible in a game where maximum participation benefits the town?
A player over participates when the posts he or she makes are filler. They say little of value. That is when over participation is a scumtell. I think you'll find my posts might be a little denser that the average, if I do say so myself.
I have no idea how you could possibly say I over participate, if most of the things I say have meaning, are relevant, are rather well-grounded and aren't blatant conjecture (Peppy) or occasional generic statements (LL). :P
An accusation of over participation needs to be backed up by quotes of my filler posts (which are pretty much nonexistent).

On a more general note, over participating definitely is less voteworthy than under participating. Even if only 10% of what I posted was useful, that would be more useful postage than what one gets out of someone who is inactive.

It seems to me very illogical to actively vote out the largest poster because his or her posts are too large.

Post by: Dataflashsabot on January 03, 2010, 15:15:04
Where is Data?
Data is here, and has a poor internet connection.

I'm suspicious of theiza; over-activity is NOT a problem. What makes you think it is?
Peppy is not being very useful, but I suspect that's down to him being new to Mafia rather than a scumtell.

Mm, what the heck. I'm gonna (http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/6084/bandwagon222081.gif) and vote:theiza27.

Ah I see you have only now uncovered the power of the :P face.

@Lunar, I had some points on Theiza above. Not super clearly labelled. TBH I am working with what little I can scrounge up. Most of the town are happy to clam up and hide away.

Kaizo and Limelemon both fall into the trap of making weak, generally non-committal statements. Kaizo's defense of Peppy is wishy-washy and a good buddy-link but more information to note for now than info to lynch on. Its more of a conditional tell IMO.

I didn't expect Data to vote for theiza suddenly like that. @Data: Is there any other reason for you voting for him (apart for the over participating thing?)

Theiza's next post will have to deal with some issues such as the return of the random vote of me mid D1, the other issues of said vote and why he thinks mocha was a better lynch than himself.
@Theiza: What you most definitely shouldn't do is one of those defeatist, 'I don't know what else I can tell you to make you believe me' posts we're so accustomed to around here.

Peppy's reasoning sucks but makes a Peppy/Theiza pair very unlikely (assuming 2 scum).
Oh no I don't think there any chance of a Theiza/Peppy pair at all. Maybe Peppy/Kaizo, but trying to pair D1 doesn't really work that well anyway, so I won't needlessly speculate any longer.

Post by: theiza27 on January 03, 2010, 20:08:54
to clear things up... i first voted for Lunar_Tick randomly... then a lot of time passed during the day and i honestly completely forgot about my vote... then Lunar_Tick asked me the question of who would be a better lynch than myself... which i took to be a question that needed a vote of reason and not random, as i first did... so i actually looked for reasoning... and could only find that mochaalatte had not posted in a few pages... so i voted them (completely forgetting that i had already cast a vote)... i didn't stick to my vote of mochaalatte because to me i was only answering a question posed to me (it was my mistake for bolding their name and phrasing it as a vote)... then that leads to me sticking to my original vote of Lunar_Tick and my reasoning behind it... which originally was because i understood it to be that day 1 usually consisted of random votes... but i guess i misread that and that the first few votes generally are just random, not that the entire day consists of random voting... then after that... i gave my reasoning... which was due to his over posting (which i already know some of you hate, my reasoning that is, not his over posting)


On a more general note, over participating definitely is less voteworthy than under participating. Even if only 10% of what I posted was useful, that would be more useful postage than what one gets out of someone who is inactive.

It seems to me very illogical to actively vote out the largest poster because his or her posts are too large.

now 1st off, i'm a her  ;)

and secondly... i didn't realize there were specific "scum tells" i thought each individual was allowed to decipher and come up with their own reasoning towards other individual's actions... maybe i don't know how the game is played on this forum (not that i've played it on any other)... but i think its only fair that if i find reasoning behind something or someone i should be able to vote accordingly... and there really shouldn't have to be so many replies of "that is not a scum tell..." "this is more of a scum tell than that" "that's not suspicious enough grounds to vote someone" (and no i'm not quoting exactly so please don't start in on the "who said that then? can we please have a direct quote." lolz)  unless the mod would like to list "scum tells" in the beginning of the game so that us new players can find something that the rest of you deem a valid reason to lynch.

and i do apologize for my defeatist statement... but i clearly can't just go "don't lynch me pweaaaze!" XD

I think you are getting caught up in your lies.

Scum tells are generally common sense.

Scum want to hide and be invisible. Scum want to push mislynches. Scum (generally) don't want their buddies to die and certainly don't want to die themselves. Scum have trouble finding scum as they have to lie.
Town (should) be focused on finding scum. Finding scum > surviving to the town. Town (in general) should not hide in fear about the nightkill. Town should (generally) make their motives as transparent as possible.

Vouching for yourself is null.

I doubt I'll be able to make any significant post for at least 24 hours. This one is rather hastily written too.
A tilde implies uncertainty (in this case, due to not rereading the post). Sorry if my memory messes up.

He got the wagon rolling
~Didn't I vote for theiza first?
Anyway, the wagon wasn't really a random let's vote just for voting crazy wagon. Some votes on theiza were at least somewhat calculated. Although Peppy was totally random and Data's was probably more spontaneous than well-thought out.

and refused to stop it even after I told him to.
~You never actually made a strong series of posts against the lynch of theiza.
Just because you told Budja to stop means nothing. The fact that you diugfhfg

He also had no good reason.
This is very disputable.

I asked the mod if there was, in the end, a SK about. There isn't. (Was this mentioned?)


i appear to not be doing any of those things... including finding scum... because clearly after the holidays i had to start defending myself
That doesn't prohibit scum-finding at all.
I vote: theiza27.
~Razzor didn't actually clear up exactly why he voted Theiza.
His quote of Theiza is a scum (or, with hindsight, a naive newbie) tell. A vote of such gravitas (albeit perceived gravitas) should be justified extensively should it not Razzor?

Also I'd very much like to hear Kaizo's response to Budja. I think this same issue was brought up D1. Maybe a glance at the older posts could be useful to fully examine and rebut this evidence Kaizo?

Another interesting question to anyone interested in answering would be if a the default tactic of inactive lynch would be a good idea D2 as well?

And Peppy, was 'getting through the day' worth you voting? Would you rather have waited a little, reexamined Theiza or do you stand by your then opinion?

He got the wagon rolling
~Didn't I vote for theiza first?
Anyway, the wagon wasn't really a random let's vote just for voting crazy wagon. Some votes on theiza were at least somewhat calculated. Although Peppy was totally random and Data's was probably more spontaneous than well-thought out.
You voted first, yes, but Budja was the one who went all OMG THEIZA INACTIVE STOP LURKING OR DIE OH NOW UR ACTIVE BUT I WONT CHANGE MY VOTE ANYWAY CUZ YOU ARE SCUMMY SCUM GO DIE EVERYONE VOTE THEIZA WE HAVE OBV-SCUM HURRRRRRRR

In other words, he just kept running over theiza for no reason and thought she was scummy for the slightest little things.

i appear to not be doing any of those things... including finding scum... because clearly after the holidays i had to start defending myself
That doesn't prohibit scum-finding at all.
I vote: theiza27.
~Razzor didn't actually clear up exactly why he voted Theiza.
His quote of Theiza is a scum (or, with hindsight, a naive newbie) tell. A vote of such gravitas (albeit perceived gravitas) should be justified extensively should it not Razzor?

So, do you want me to explain my vote, or why I didn't? Nevermind. I'll just do both.
I didn't really think thezia was likely to be mafia until she posted that quote. Beyond that, she just didn't look like she was going to be a very helpful townie.
I hadn't checked the vote count yet, so I didn't think we were in L-1. To me, it was a relatively simple vote, so I didn't feel like explaining it further than that.

In other words, he just kept running over theiza for no reason and thought she was scummy for the slightest little things.
Asking questions is how you find scum. You can't expect people not to do it. None of budja's questions were unreasonable either, so how did you know that thezia was town?

vote: Kaizoman, for consistently weak posting.
Well, other people keep noticing scummy things before I do. It'd be kind of pointless to restate a suspicion that someone else pointed out a couple posts earlier. Also, some of my 'weak' posts were responses to other suspicions and reminders for people (like your "L-1" post).

Alright, you can also post things like:
I agree/disagree with person X.
This is a good/bad post.

The posts you make which consist of things like:
"Wow, Day 1 went for so long", "Let's scumhunt"
show no opinion and feel rather flat.

Also you can expand on things other people pick up.

Basically you have been "active lurking", posting but not posting useful content.

@LL, that contradiction of hers was a strong scum-tell. Also, the "slight things" were the scummiest in the game. Also, you haven't really answered my question. What attack was bad?

Razz's reason for voting isn't good but actually feels town :P.

But what does the town have to say on this accusation against Kaizo?

Razz's reason for voting isn't good but actually feels town :P.
It 'feels' town? What makes you say that? What town-tell are you picking up from Razzor?

@LL:
Asking questions is how you find scum. You can't expect people not to do it. None of budja's questions were unreasonable either, so how did you know that thezia was town?

It seems to me, LL, that your attacks on Budja now pretty much are the same as the ones you describe Budja of mounting against Theiza.
You are going all OMG on him, and for a feeling.

It felt like that.

Another interesting question to anyone interested in answering would be if a the default tactic of inactive lynch would be a good idea D2 as well?
Mochaalatte and Peppy really need to get in here. They would do good to comment at least briefly on the more general current issues before posting new comments and insights.

@Lunar, transparency, feels sincere.
I think there isn't any particular tell on Mocha either way (except for gross inactivity). How can Mocha be transparent when he only makes such nullish comments? He hasn't actually made any case against anyone. Transparency seems easy to pull off if one says little.

But more interestingly, you're again basing your reads on feeling.
I just can't accept statements of the form "Razzor feels town" or "Mocha feels town". I haven't actually seen why either of them are more likely to be town than not.
You seem to assert that Razzor is likely to be town, when you show me why that should be, I'll agree.

And if you're basing your tells on them by that subtle subconscious tinge (which evolution has chiseled at to be sometimes right), fair enough.
But that's inadmissible as evidence. In fact, you should know that.
Which brings me to the question of why do you tell us how you feel, if you know that it cannot be used objectively and it is (for all intents and purposes) baseless?
Title: Re: Mafia 8- Day 2

I was referring to Razzorman in my post, not Mocha.

Evidence is good but a gut reads are helpful supplements to a case.
I used to hate gut read but over time I have grown to like them more.
Whats wrong with broadcasting that feeling anyway. As town, it is your duty to say what you think of others.
(I think evidence means less than you think BTW. Mafia is all about interpretations about what is scummy and what is not and "gut reads" are an important part of this process.)

Of course he is. So are a lot of other people. For instance, if someone says something that they think is scummy, then they're still basing it on their feelings.

But, anyway, I'm going to go with vote:LimeLemon. While it's true that Budja is a little aggressive towards theiza, that's not his main focus like LL said (he's also going after me and Razzor). And, from what I'm seeing, LL is being much more aggressive towards Budja, as if he is absolutely certain he should die. So, due to the fact that theres not actually that much I can find to base my vote on, I'm going to have to go with LL.

I'm voting LL because I can't find as many reasons to vote anyone else, not that I don't have any information at all. Theres not really enough proof that you, theiza, Peppy, or most of the other people here are Mafia, and LL is the one I have the most reason to vote.

@Lunar, what do you think of kaizo?
I'm getting a 'needs looking into' read from Kaizo. I don't have the time to write up such a post.
My first estimation is closest to 'possibly scum'. It would not be completely crazy to lynch Kaizo.
I think I'd rather have a Peppy lynch rather than a Kaizo lynch. I'm not convinced of Kaizo's scumminess and he's still rather useful to the town. Or at least more useful than Peppy, who hasn't posted since mid D1.
In brief, it seems there just as much evidence (maybe a little less) attesting to Peppy's scummines as there is to Kaizo's.
If we were to have a lynch right now it's definitely Peppy that I would lynch.

I apologise for inactivity, present and past.

Liemlemons case against Budja is weird. Needs backing up with quotes.

The rest of the town needs nudging.

Maybe Razzorman could enlighten us: Kaizo or Peppy or other?

Intresting: Discounting my Peppy vote, only three people are being voted or are voting. What do you make of that?

Budja: (1) Limelemon
Limelemon: (1) kaizoman666
Kaizoman666: (1) Budja

So, let me get this straight: If we have actually voted, we're suspicious? Where the hell do you get that logic?
For that matter, notice we are forming a circle: LL->Budja->Me->LL again. If two of us were working together as mafia, why would we be voting for each other?

In brief, it seems there just as much evidence (maybe a little less) attesting to Peppy's scummines as there is to Kaizo's.

Can I ask a question about this? What evidence do we even have?

In my opinion, that's just it. It the absence of any information to possibly be drawn from Peppy's few posts that makes him seem scummy. As for your case, it's your near-constant defending of Peppy that makes you seem scummy. But alas, I turn my case to the following-
XOMG three mafias :O
oh wait im not mafia so kaizo and budja must be IT MAKES PERFECT SENSE

Well now, this is interesting. LL, it seems you've gone completely insane. Why exactly do you think budja is in the Mafia? Where's your evidence hmm? And better yet, why exactly are you so keen on ending the day so soon? I would like, sir, an explanation.

Kaizo

@Budja, why did you choose to protect me and Mocha?

I investigated Limelemon N1 because in older games he would always get a little crazy, especially on me because I post too much, I wanted to know if I could dismiss his weirdness this time as weirdness. I could, turns out.
I investigated Kaizo D2 because he seemed scummy and rather null-ish like Budja said. I wanted to be definite either way I suppose.

Budja never struck me as being anything more than a townie.

Carry on.

Well, I've got a red flag already. Lunar_Tick claims to be the investigator. Except I was given the role of investigator...

The first day I investigated Razzorman, as I didn't really have much to look at. I got back "Townie" (now that I think about it, he must be our lone townie). The second day I investigated LimeLemon, and I didn't get back a result (as he was already murdered).

Now, in response to Lunar_Tick's claim to be investigator, I would like to ask one thing: If I were mafia, would I kill the same person I voted for lynching? Wouldn't that just make people suspect me even more than they already do?

Also, here's what I said when bored told me I had almost won (N3) (I also asked earlier if the doctor could protect himself):
I would have a bigger chance of winning if the doctor was not allowed to protect himself. Because everyone knows it's either me or Gansta. Therefore, I will try to kill Budja, and If I fail I will know Gangsta is the doctor. But I would quickly claim to be the doctor next day and say no one died because I protected Budja, and vote for Gangsta. Then Gangsta would probably say that he is the doctor, but I think Budja would believe me because I claimed first. And I would have a 75% chance of winning during night, because there's a 50% chnace teh doctor would protect me, and then it would not matter which target I chose. And if the doctor didn't protect me, I would have a 50% chance of targeting the doctor. Now the chance of a kill at night is 2/3. There is a 1/3 chance the doctor targets me (100% chance of winning), and a 2/3 chance of the doctor targeting himself or the other one (50% chance of winning). If that went wrong, I would probably just say that Gangsta is Mafia because he was quick to vote day 2, and no one else voted for PP for a while. However, if I try to kill Gangsta and eh gets protected, Budja will know I am mafia.
Therefore, I will try to kill Budja.

Oh, and I just realised that that this whole speculation thingy is based on that the doctor sends in an action. I just assumed that. But you never know...
I think too much.
And so, history repeats itself. The mafia doctor claims first, and dodges a lynch.

Oh it's over? Well, that last day was short. I didn't even know what was going on anyways.

Hooray for ignorance!

Ha, Lunar had me feeling suss when he didn't claim straight away but I thought you must be town after the counter-claim. That was a mightily big risk.

Not really.

Had I claimed town, then the town would be 'sure' of the roles of Budja and Kaizo and would have to lynch one of the other three townies. You had a 2/3 chance of lynching scum.
This way, only Budja was confirmed as doctor, and the town would have four suspects to choose from. 2/4 chance of lynching mafia.

The risk was if Razzor turned out to be the investigator. In which case I'd have two votes on me, but I was somewhat confident I could persuade you Budja to come on my side against Kaizo.
