Mafia IX: Ace Edition Game Over - Mafia Victory - Town of Failure Destroyed

If Will - handsome man he is - is telling the truth, why would he claim? A roleblock followed by no night kill isn't really proof of anything.

The purple thing shoots up flags because yeah, Doctor is green, Insane Cop was green, and my own non-vanilla role that could conceivably have a different colour has green text too.

But then

if he's scum, why would he claim roleblocker falsely?

Seriously, what the hell does he have to gain from getting Plum lynched when a lot of you think that's a good idea to begin with? Unless maybe she's one of his own, and he's bussing her to prove his roleblocker claim or something.

[[M] Walter - Smart Dad]

2 role blockers? Not a chance. One of you is lying. Clearly.

I "also" blocked Plum on Night 3.

That's awfully convenient. Same night 3 block as the first role claim. I don't think that means your the lying one, but I still find it a bit fishy.

Will what was your first 2 night blocks?

[[M] Joe - Army Dad]

I dont need to block anyone if I dont need to, as it says in my role pm, so night one I was afraid of getting cop and decided not to block anyone. Night two I blocked Tigre, because I thought he might have been scum, acting like plum.

@Jean: The mafia could be closer to winning then we think, or perhaps he has a role which controlling this days vote would be conivient (mafia janitor anyone?). Either way one is lying so one must go.

I have a very large post typed up, but first. Will, why did you write your role as purple?

[[M] Joe - Army Dad]

I didnt like how it was green. It has always been purple and damnit it should stay that way.

[[M] Dee]

So it was green in your role PM?

Ema, did your role PM say you didn't have to roleblock if you didn't want to as well?

[[M] Athena]

I don't suppose we have a Watcher in the house, do we? I think I might have been a bit of a magnet for night actions on Night 1 and 2 so hopefully they watched me.

That's awfully convenient. Same night 3 block as the first role claim. I don't think that means your the lying one, but I still find it a bit fishy.

Good point.

@Jean: The mafia could be closer to winning then we think, or perhaps he has a role which controlling this days vote would be conivient (mafia janitor anyone?). Either way one is lying so one must go.

You could be right there, my little sweetcake. Although if they were going down the Janitor route, a cop/tracker gambit would be a hell of a lot better than a Roleblocker one.

Another alternative is that we do actually have two Roleblockers.

If you are telling the truth, you just screwed yourself over with your colour preferences. I don't like how it took you so long to answer this question, like you were thinking of an excuse.

For the record, it's Cult Leader that is purple. This is more of a roleblocker colour.

[[M] Apollo]

True but we already had an insane cop perhaps they didn't think we'd buy it? I know just last game I had come up with a plan to user a mafia poisoner to dely a kill a day, then claim I protected (scummate) to clear a name. Perhaps the new team is thinking something similar? I doubt we'd have two roleblockers, WITH a Doctor.

I have a very large post typed up, but first. Will, why did you write your role as purple?

I said this 2 minutes after this post here...

[[M] Dee]

Stop! (Drop! And roll!) I'm coming out (of the closet). ^_^

Hi. I'm your friendly resident Cop. For the record, it wasn't blue, it was exactly that color.

Well about Jean too, I didn't mention it because I didn't know Jean is a smart player, but, because anyone who listens him so much is dumb town or knows that Jean is town ...meaning they are mafia. There were some other ppl i got that vibe from but Gant was the one that stuck out most ...there's no way these people can know unless they are the cop and say "I investigated Jean Will and Apollo, they're all innocent!" etc whatever or something, and, no way all these people can all be cops XD ... just seemed scummy.

Here's the thing. I doubt the mods would put two insane cops in, and I doubt that I would be a naive cop either, seeing as how one of the mods has told me on multiple occasions that he/she does not like naive cops. I'm going to assume, for the moment, that I am a normal, sane cop.

Yes, I was intentionally staying low. And I was intentionally typing like an idiot. Staying low suited me because it made me just suspicious enough so that I was being mentioned and kept on the suspicion list, but not enough so that people voted for me. Being a suspect would guarantee that I didn't die at night. I said yesterday I would be more active today because I planned on coming out today anyway, but after Godot's death I thought I would potentially hold off another day, seeing as how I kinda needed him. I also knew Jean would get super paranoid and make way too much out of my posts as soon as he knew who I was, and that it was bad if any mafia could figure out who I was.

Now, here's the confusing part. Will's purple - hmm. Ema's coming out to claim roleblocker - that puts suspicion on Will. ...But I investigated Will. I don't see why he would claim roleblocker if he wasn't, and I don't see even more why Ema would claim roleblocker if she actually wasn't.

Night 1: Jean Armstrong. I invesigated him because I noticed right away who played his character, and I wanted this person either out of my way or out of my suspicions ASAP.
Night 2: Will Powers. I think some of his posts brought up some suspicions. I also saw him as a lay-lower who could potentially be intelligent. I didn't investigate Godot because I was gullible and actually believed Demon Dude. Hell, he was a cop - how the heck am I supposed to guess that he didn't investigate anyone? Fail as hell! Yeah, I figured an investigation on Godot would be a wasted one at that point.
Night 3: Apollo Justice. I was having a hard time deciding between Apollo Justice, Pheonix Wright, and Damon Gant. Pheonix made himself slightly more of a presence than Apollo, and I figured that if Apollo did indeed turn out to be innocent, I would have a stronger case against Damon Gant. Whereas, if Damon turned out to be innocent, I would really have no idea where to go next.

I tried to avoid investigating people that already had a lot of suspicion placed on them due to the possibility of a mafia framer. The judge wouldn't give me my results before the night was over due to "outside factors," and what those are, your guess is as good as mine. It could have just been the roleblocker(s?), or there can be other factors as well.

Now, could any of these people I investigated be the godfather? Sure. Could they have been recruited last night? Sure. But I was willing to trust my investigations for the moment.

...But this double roleblocker thing is bloody confusing me. Could there be two roleblockers? Could be, but seems unlikely.

Now, I do believe there's another doctor or protective role in this game. With 2 cops and 25 people, I seriously would not be surprised if there was a white mage/another doctor of some sort/etc. So, doctor? Hi.

[[M] Athena]

Except I asked you almost two hours ago and Lamiroir asked you first an hour after I did.

And Dick, oh my throbbing Dick, I had the same thought. But with the fail of their nightkill following on from the death of a doctor, presumably they will have considered the possibility of us having a roleblocker and thus the risk of being counterclaimed.

[[M] Harry - Dad's Dad]

No, it didn't say I had any restrictions. I can block one person per night.

[[M] Anise]

You know, someone needs to die.

Until I get confirmation on Gay boys role, I'll not be satisfied with his deductions of Mafia targeting him. But really outside of my nervousness, I can't find much reason to suspect hm of anything, so I'll hold off for now and re-examine his posts later.

Luke and Damon are still top suspects.

And finally, on the whole Roleblocker situation, there are so many different reasons it could have played out like it did, I have the strongest urge not to touch this one, but it needs to be touched.

And I think Jean is the man to do it.

And after he finishes touching, hopefully I'll have thought up some good reasoning to lynch one of the smurfers, or save both their butts.

[[M] Athena]

Yeah Lamiroir I knew you were Yamanekoing it from the moment I saw that post but didn't really want to say anything to draw attention to it. Wondered what the smurf was up with it tbh.

I doubt that I would be a naive cop either, seeing as how one of the mods has told me on multiple occasions that he/she does not like naive cops.

Make no mistake, I will hold you to this.
