Mafia XIII: Game thread! - GAME OVER - Hail to the Town!

[[M] Colette]

Wacko Jacko -

Tafty Wafty ~

Made a huge deal about how high posters are often mafia and then got into some confusing mess about how they weren't always mafia when called on it. Interesting that Jackson had made a small amount of posts - trying to do the exact opposite of what they thought would be perceived to be mafia.

I said that it would be good to look at the people who are posting a lot, because the mafia have one goal. Not get lynched. So they have to get suspicion off of themselves and onto another town member. I don't post a lot because I have school and work for school.

Now, a common theme with Andy here is playing it safe. Trying to appear helpful, trying to make it seem that they have the towns best interests at heart, without actually providing anything substantial that nobody can argue against - who can fault criticism of inactives? Well, I can and will! Fluff posts stating basic things are always suspicious to me.

Yah, there is nothing substatial about the above thing you quoted from me.

Like FDR, did a useless color chart which offered no analysis whatsoever. Thanks for that.

All for you. Happy Birthday Taft!

Important message!
ALL INACTIVE PLAYERS! GET ACTIVE, POST MORE AND STOP LURKING! WE ARE ALMOST INTO DAY 5, AND AS THE TOWN GETS SMALLER, YOUR SILENCE MAKES THE MAFIA'S JOB EASIER. SO IF YOU DISAGREE WITH ANYTHING SAID BY ANYONE, PLEASE SPEAK UP!

Important message!
THANKS, GOLDENBOKO.

Why did you have to quote that?

Another common theme with ol' Jackie Brown is this. He's said it more than once.

make of this as you will.

Stop saying this already! How about you show us what you make of it for a change instead of waiting to see what other people think and reacting to it?

It means to think for yourself. Again following one person is a bad idea, no matter who that person is.

Here's my favorite AJ quote, and I do hope you like it as much as I do.

Whoever has an investigative role. Make of all three days as you choose to, and no matter what, make your choice as you feel is correct.

Combines Jackson's favorite things: A fruity new variation of the catchphrase, and fluff. Hey, investigative roles? Investigate who you think is bad! Yeah, thanks. I think the cop could have figured that one out themselves. I don't know how many more times I can say "Trying to appear helpful when not being helpful at all" without getting bored, but it's not a lot!

Again, think for yourself, and don't just listen to everyone else.

Now, this is the crunch. Had a "Big 3" of Reagan, Teddy, and FDR. I have already said that I think Reagan is Town and FDR is mafia, and I am confident of my opinions, so I will be working on the idea that this is town, mafia, mafia. Jackson earns some innocence points for this. I will admit, this has stopped me in my tracks when a vote would ordinarily be very easy to make.

Ah, the concession. this is the piece that makes an attack strongest, by saying there is a piece of doubt in your mind.

Why would a mafia do such a thing? It's feasible that a mafia member would name two of their team mates to distance themselves. In fact, it is a very good and clever move. Likewise, if you are town, it's very good to spot two mafia members!

Well, you complimented me, so thanks.

So what confuses me is why has a good player been making such amateurish moves? Or maybe you have just got lucky? I don't know. What throws me even harder is that you have backed off FDR today, when if you were a mafia member sacrificing him, you'd be all over that right now. But on the other hand, perhaps your mafia team mates are the brains of the operation, thought of the overall strategy and you're just the lackey carrying it out. I really don't know.

Yeah, here is my chain of thought on FDR.
FDR is suspicious, posting a lot and the like.
Doctor claim. I'll wait it out to see what happens
Counter Claim. This is getting interesting.
Sleepy Time.
FDR Debunked.
FDR has 5 votes. He is dead. A vote on him is pretty much wasted now

In conclusion:

Rushing votes is a bad way to play.

Uh...Andrew? Hate to be the one to break it to you, but, uh...

You made my case against me for you. thanks. Look at all the fun stuff I pulled out of that post. You don't like Fluff Taft, so lets pull that right not now. As well as pulling out the concession, so we can see only the real attack.

Firstly, as I have already mentioned, that bizarre hit-and-run vote on me out of nowhere was, in my opinion, ridiculously scummy.

I have thought about it, and although there are some confusing issues, this is my only course of action.

##vote2: Andrew jackson

I just took out the direct chunks. Taft has also said things that are quite wordy, and wordiness is the fluff that is the most dangerous. Taft, a good attack on me would have no fluff at all, especially if you are attacking about Fluff. Best two pieces are the colored post link and the inactive call. Those had nothing to do with the attack.

So to close this post which is way too long already, Taft made the move I was hoping for. The really drawn out attack. With plenty of cushioning to make it look really pretty.
