Mafia XIV Game Thread - GAME OVER - Cult Win! Skulls for the Skull Throne!

[[M] Colette]

Ifrit, if the Town's strategy includes not asking Titan to divulge his night action targets and results, who else can we ask? If the roleclaims thus far are true, then you and Carbuncle also have night actions. Are we at liberty to inquire what they did last night?

Why do you ask?

I was asking whether other players other than Titan should reveal their night actions in Ifrit's strategy. Building off of current claims, it becomes harder to lie about your actions at night over time. I was also asking because I'm not always the best about looking into the future concerning revealing the Town's actions and I didn't want to flat out request that you guys tell us what you did.

Rydia throwin' down. That is unfair and we were plagued with inactives Day 1. That comment meant that: One of the reasons the night was so long, is because the opening of the day was delayed in a search to find replacements and partners, notice both those nouns are plural.

Trying to make sure that mafia remains played within the thread.

I will let town know what I do at night if only clear things up as I did, but in this instance it may not matter what I did last night or it may matter alot. I will leave that up to you to decide.

Reference for the future, if you think using a quote or any action is unfair, don't use it. Remember, one of the rules of the game is you must play fair. Don't make me banish anybody. (Banishment is death, and in addition you will lose even if your team wins.)

Remember people, that just because Shiva was a Nexus Day 1, she may not be now. If she has been recruited by the cult she would lose her role most likely. She has still been acting very strange and that vote Titan is interesting. Also do not answer about who you think the Cult recruited.This may give them too much information on who would think so they would go after so they might not go after them. For now, let's focus on a possible Cult Leader.

I'm sorry Ifrit, I guess I need to think before I speak, huh? I didn't realize that.

Also, Ifrit, just to kinda shoot down that train of thought you have, when I was replaced Rydia had to confirm it with her other self, making it take longer than just a few seconds, so this may be a reason it drew out the night, along with the problem of finding a replacement in the first place.

Also, I have a problem with Odin's explanation for saying he is Vanilla, because the Cult could recruit him now knowing that we don't suspect him now, and the reason we don't suspect him is because we do suspect him(Makes SOOOO much sense). Maybe he is already a Cultist trying to draw attention from himself... He seems to be using reverse psychology, making us think 1 way by using our previous thoughts.

[[M] Adama]

I meant on who we think they would go after so they might not go after them.

[[M] Adama]

Though more about Shiva, if she were a Nexus it would probably be impossible to recruit her since she probably bounces back anything.

[[M] Apollo]

This is probably my only break in a long while. My only idea about why the Psychwhatever was mistaken is that maybe he is a bad one. Not as in scummy, but gets reverse results or something. While I would love to know his readings for last night, if we think he wasn't recruited or roleblocked, asking is detrimental right now. Maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after. But I do not know why the orange dud came up insane, but I do know he wasn't purple if that's what we're after.

Your Emperor-God had been waiting for this infidel to post, so that he could perhaps trip himself up further. However, the thread is dull and so in the interests of all of the children of Rydia having a good time, I am making this post now.

As for there being a cult and no mafia, that is certainly a plausible scenario but remember the first time we had a cult: the town was so focused on finding cult that the mafia was able to get victory. I don't want that to happen again, so I am keeping all the options open. There are plenty of reasons why the mafia's first two kills wouldn't have gone through (assuming Shiva is telling the truth and Alex wasn't the first kill).

Ever since the Gods told me that there was a cult, I have been awaiting somebody to post this, and I knew whoever did would be one of the wicked brood. Wise words, and yet an attempt to cloud our judgement - the mark of the scum! This is an attempt to draw our gazes from the defilers using what is seen as conventional wisdom that cannot be contested.

And so after I saw the infidel had made this post, I took a little look into him. I have suspicions that he is the wicked leader who seeks to oppose us, my children.

Firstly, he was active on the first two days, and then slowed right down after that. I divine that it is because he has brainwashed more hoodlums into his horde, and has decided to take a back seat while they spread their vile lies in his place.

The gods have also told me to pay close attention to his interactions with Shiva.

Ok, the only thing keeping me from voting Shiva right now is that she didn't die on night 1, indicating that she might be a doctor

I believe this blasphemer may have tried to recruit Shiva on Night 1. What happens when someone tries to brainwash a Nexus? Does the power merely "bounce off" onto some other poor soul, or is it just cancelled out? Either way, I believe Valefor is curious about as to why his attempts have failed, and seeks to probe out the true meaning behind Shiva.

He has not been an inactive, but has certainly slipped under many of the children of Rydia's radar. No longer can he hide from the righteous fury of the gods! The infidel must be purged!

##vote: Valefor

[[M] Colette]

Remember people, that just because Shiva was a Nexus Day 1, she may not be now. If she has been recruited by the cult she would lose her role most likely. She has still been acting very strange and that vote Titan is interesting. Also do not answer about who you think the Cult recruited.This may give them too much information on who would think so they would go after so they might not go after them. For now, let's focus on a possible Cult Leader.

I'm not going to explicitly ask the mechanics of the moderators' setup but I would assume that a Cult Leader targeting a Nexus would result in the Cult Leader adding a random other player to the Cult, similar to a Cop targeting a Nexus and getting a result that says some other random player is guilty/innocent. If Shiva is indeed a Nexus and we are indeed dealing with a Cult (which mostly likely is the case), then Shiva would be our "Invincible Townie" that couldn't be tainted.

[[M] Colette]

It seems you and I are sort of on the same page, Ifrit. I can't say I share totally your evaluation of Valefor, however.

[[M] Felix]

If you do not share my evaluation, Brother Bahamut, then I wish to be enlightened about your thoughts on the blasphemer.

[[M] Colette]

Carbuncle, you have a horrible vote record up to this point, in my opinion. You may argue that voting for Chocobo on Day 2 was a good thing but that's exactly the type of excuse a baddy would use. Not asking you to return a statement concerning this; just making it known. I am also not saying I don't believe you. The Companion seems a likely role in this setup to me and your explained targets match up so far.

I'm also concerned over players that did not have a vote on the table at the end of Day 1, then did have a vote for Day 2. They would be: Anima, Diablo, Odin, Phoenix, Ramuh, and Siren. I consider all of them to be most likely to have been recruited already if there is a Cult.

[[M] Colette]

I went back through and searched his posts and actually, the more I read into it, the more I do agree with your perspective... His voting record is about as bad as Carbuncle's if you count Shiva as a Town aligned player. Not to mention how he doesn't have the buffer of Carbuncle's roleclaim.

Hmm... I don't know. It seems a good argument, so I'll add to your vote for the time being. I'd like to hear something from him, though. Along with the list of players I just posted up there for not having votes on Day 1, then having votes on Day 2.

And at me calling Diablos Diablo in my previous post!
