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

It does appear Doomtrain may not be contributing much, but appears to post only to appear not to be inactive. It seems that this could work to his advantage, but he seems to not contribute much to anything. Perhaps is it because he could really be scum and doing this on purpose to appear as a non-threatening townie? Who knows, so I'll put in my vote for him to give him reason to speak out.

##Vote: Doomtrain

[[M] Athena]

That's too many appearances of appear in my post.

*appears to lift a part of the earth and smashes it to pieces*

I think the day should be extended because of the inactives imo.

[[M] Gaius]

Oh dear lord no. This game is long enough as it is. It does suck to have inactives, but you get that in any game.

[[M] Aaron]

Sorry that I wasn't active on day 1... I was a little busy and didn't get a chance to get on.

Anyways, Cactuar was being a total jerk to everyone, I totally would have voted him/her off... >:P

Hi. So...what's going on?

##vote: Doomtrain

-_-

[[M] Helo]

I like to think I caused Doomtrain's downfall.

[[M] Colette]

I'm going to vote for Anima. How does everyone feel about that?

## Vote: Anima

I'm going to vote for Anima. How does everyone feel about that?

## Vote: Anima

But I didn't do anything.

[[M] Helo]

That may be the issue.

Indeed activity was promised, so here it is.

So some of the best information we have to go on right now is what happened at the end of the day where we had the 3 way tie. Here's how the tie broke out and who voted for who:

Bahamut (2): Shiva, Leviathan
Ifrit (2): Bahamut, Cactuar
Cactuar (2): Chocobo, Ifrit

The following people posted in 'Sudden Death' (in this order):

Bahamut - I'd like to ask Bahamut why he let the Sudden Death play out rather than save himself by switching his vote to Cactuar.
Carbuncle
Cactuar (why didn't you save yourself by voting for one of the others? )
Chocobo
Shiva
Titan - broke the tie with his post.
Valefor - technically my post didn't get off until after the day ended but I'll count it anyway.

Now, I'd like to think that if a mafia was up for lynch in a three way tie on day one, another mafia would save their butt. And if Bahamut was mafia, why wouldn't he save his ass right away? It's possible there is some deeper strategy here but it is too early to get into that right now. In a few days we'll have more evidence to shed some light on this.

Based on that evidence I have to assume right now that Bahamut isn't mafia. And I never really thought Ifirit was mafia. So that would mean it was a three way tie between three townies. The mafia would know this, and would have no reason to break it.

Too many people didn't vote yesterday. We need more votes! The day is already halfway over and we have like 3 total votes. As for my vote, it stays on Leviathan, because I still don't like his reasoning behind voting Bahamut.

For the most part I agree with you. Bahamut is not likely anti-town. However, 3 way tie between townies? Really? That is a very odd statement to make. I think it's fairly clear Bahamut wasn't mafia for not saving himself, but Ifirit's lack of posts means he may not have had a chance to otherwise. Yet you seem to state a rather certainty Ifirit isn't mafia, which is unsettling.

If he is Mafia that makes it look like a connection between you two. If not, how exactly were you so certain with basically no evidence to support you?

Also, you come out now saying Bahamut is town after all that time going after him? It's like you actively spread suspicion, and then cleared tried clearing yourself of being scum by dissolving it all with this post?

I'd say perhaps you just realized the thing about the votes, but that would be odd. Bahamut, whom you've constantly talked about, was one of the three in a tie, you would think the Votes would be a major factor, and you would have paid attention earlier? How could you have missed that one?

And just how sure you can be sure Ifrit is town is highly unsettling as well, regardless of his role.

##vote Valefor

[[M] Helo]

Leviathan (1) - Valefor
Anima (0) - Ramuh
Bahamut (1) - Phoenix
Ramuh (1) - Diablos
Doomtrain (3) - Ramuh, Titan, Anima
Anima (1) - Bahamut
Valefor (1) - Odin

[[M] Colette]

Hey Doomtrain, what do you have to say about having the majority of the votes cast so far?

[[M] Kurt - Cool Dad]

And just how sure you can be sure Ifrit is town is highly unsettling as well, regardless of his role.

If part of Ifrits role is to rhyme, he probably isn't mafia, as mafia normally wouldn't get such a thing.

[[M] Ron - Cop Dad]

I'm back guys, and I will first address all questions asked to me...

I'm going through day 1 posts, and I came across this that I missed yesterday:

I don't have anyone to vote for, so I will vote for a random inactive, because I think a random gut feeling is better than voting for someone I find to be innocent.

Also, I'm going to stop this inactive attack before it really starts. It always turns into a witch hunt where people lynch random townies hoping to find a mafia, and then if there were mafia that were inactive, they start trying to contribute. It's too common, and it's too useless.

How dare you harp on me for harping on inactives when you yourself did the same thing!

Well, that vote was kinda like a placeholder. I actually didn't notice that I had done that, though. I'm sorry, I guess I'm just a hypocrite(and I HATE hypocrites)

Why do you think he is likely to be mafia? Why don't you think he has a special role? Remember Horny Gay Faith Healer? It's happened before, where there has been someone with restricted posting options. Now I'm not saying that he could know this as well and use it to try to clear himself, but I am saying, as I have said before, that he is most likely a townie with restricted posting.

##unvote: Valefor
##vote: Cactuar

You seem to be too against Ifrit

I really don't understand anything that's going on right now.

Ifrit appears to have an odd role where he is forced to talk in rhymes. I doubt this would be a mafia role, so I say he is town, because I don't think he would try to do something like this so he can be cleared as a townie, there would be easier ways of doing that.

Why is Chocobo so hellbent on defending Ifrit? This a questions I'm asking myself too because I find it weird.

I defended Ifrit because I don't believe him to be mafia, and I didn't see any reason that people were voting for him. It seemed to me like people were voting based solely on a possibility. If there had been evidence to back the possibility up, I may have, if I found the evidence to be good, voted for him instead of cactuar. As for me and Ifrit voting together, I don't know, maybe we just thought the same.

Hey guys do you know the time?
Of course you do, it's 20 past RHYME

There's just one thing that I'd like to know
And so I am about to ask someone: Chocobo
Yesterday at one point you voted Valefor
How do you feel now? Is he someone to ignore?

Hmm, I don't know. I still don't have a read on him. When I voted, as I just said above said, it was really just a place holder in case I couldn't think of another to vote. My vote was purely just looking at the list and picking a random name based on my super psychic abilities.

And just how sure you can be sure Ifrit is town is highly unsettling as well, regardless of his role.

If part of Ifrits role is to rhyme, he probably isn't mafia, as mafia normally wouldn't get such a thing.

We can't take this as a fact. Although I agree that is probably the case, don't completely stop looking at Ifrit.
