Dearest Luneth,

I did not reveal my night activities and basically say "hay guys, axe me!" for nothing.

Love,
Your dead insane cop.

[Shauna]

I will admit to nothing, Rydia.

You did well for your role. Nicely played. But personally, I never 100% trust what a cop has to say. Even a confirmed one. Too many factors can influence the outcome. I'm not saying "disregard that trout" but to devoutly believe it without questioning it is a very risky strategy.

it seems to me that half the town don't even understand the role though, so

Hence the "feel free to kill me" and self vote. I'm glad the mafia took me out! Edit: Fair point though.

If it weren't for Wakka I would have slapped someone hard.

[[M] Apollo]

just wait 'til you all find out I replaced leon like 3 days ago

I'll take that as a compliment.
Which either makes me (you) an egomaniac, or me (not you) also an egomaniac.

Who doesn't investigate themselves right off the back? xD Like really faris?

I haven't played for... 4 years so I'm insanely rusty

[Del Murder]

Personally I wouldn't investigate myself unless I got a guilty result and none of my other results have died yet. Why waste a turn? Having an investigated townie die can work just as well for confirmation of your sanity.

Also, Luneth, I can argue all day why you guys shouldn't have killed Biggs but it would take too long and it's just a game anyway.

[Freya]

Your investigation on night 1 if it turns up guilty and youre right, then youre lucky. Why not just use your night to verify yourself so you can help the town while youre alive. I've been the cop enough.times now (im sick of it really) that I know, if you play it right, dont role claim or be too obvious, you can usually survive a long while. sometimes you never die! So job your death verification would never happen.

[Psychotic]

I have no idea if I'd investigate myself as a Cop because I've never been one! Well, I think technically I may have been a cop in Dynasty Warriors mafia, but they delayed that game 'til I was on vacation and I only ever made one post. I vaguely remember Jen spamming me with angry messages about something "I" had done.

[Del Murder]

If you investigate yourself on Night 1 and die on Day 2 or Night 2 then you were pretty useless to the town. If you investigate another person on Night 1 and make a hint in your post about your result at least you were of some use if you died unexpectedly.

I would never investigate myself until about night 3 or 4 and even then only if I had gotten some guilty result(s).

[Del Murder]

Also I want to point out something. I never had any vendetta or agenda when going after people. I only targeted Noctis for the 'showdown' because he's a dangerous player and was pretty much claiming Bulletproof throughout that day (a dangerous and powerful role). With a Mindsmurf game that has a probable Tracker (and therefore a Ninja likely) I thought this claim didn't make sense. My guess was a SK or Godfather who are also night kill immune. So I wanted to put some fear into him that he was still not safe even if Blank turned out bad. After Blank was the Godfather I realized I was wrong. But it was too late since it appears the Ninja knifed him before any more could be said.

Then it spiraled out of control and I'm not proud of how it ended up because people still won't drop it. But that was my reasoning. It was always about helping the town win and never personal. Psy knows this, but he's a butt who doesn't leave things alone. The rest of you, though, may not know it so I wanted to clear the air.

I play mafia to win. Not to kill Psychotic. If both goals are the same then that's just a bonus.

[Psychotic]

I never claimed bulletproof at any point. Everyone else put those words into my mouth. I just said they couldn't kill me! I was thinking maybe Hider or Nexus or something.

I digress though. I did not consider there being a Ninja or a Poisoner because I am dumb. But more on that when this is done.

[Del Murder]

Any game with Bulletproof that does not have some other way to night kill that player is incredibly broken. I gave Jiro the benefit of the doubt not to do that. I guess I didn't seriously consider Hider. Nexus is stupid though, and also breaks a game easily, but I guess it would be perfect for a mindsmurf. I had a reverse Nexus in my game after all.

[Agent Proto]

This game has gone better than I had expected. I think it'll end on a proper note unlike the last mafia where one of the mafia decided to be a baby and end the game improperly. I can't wait to finish this game.
