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

My suspect list.

Highest.

Shiva - Consistently fishy. There's always something up with Shiva (imo) which just doesn't sit comfortably with me. That whole thing with keep the serial killer alive business was just nonsensical, but I think Shiva knows how to play.

Bahamut - Like Shiva, I can't feel at ease with Bahamut. Fishy behavior on day 1, and then comes out claiming he is a death miller before the end of day 2. He was obviously worried about something, and I feel that he realised he wasn't in the best of graces so he pulled that roleclaim out to avoid a similar fate to Chocobo's. His petty reasoning on day 1 can be ignored because he was replaced.

High

Doomtrain - I've pulled the evidence out already, but Doomtrain still refuses to change his habits. This makes me confused because surely his teammates would have helped him or told him to snap out of it by now. Twice though he has asked what is going on and then left without a trace. If I had a kill right now, it would be Doomtrain, but like I said, the evidence used against him can also be used for him.

Anima - My favorite summon of the series has disappointing me. Inactivity and a bandwagon vote from nowhere. He symbolises everything suspicious about the inactive player, yet no substantial evidence can be extracted yet.

Medium

Odin - Maybe a couple of large-ish posts, but nothing else. Odin worries me.

Diablos - Similar to Odin. Did come out to challenge me but has yet to resurface.

Siren - The only thing that has struck me as odd is her sudden vote on Chocobo which edges the town towards a speed lynch. Apart from that boo-boo which will stick for a little while, Siren strikes me as the first player on my list I see more town aligned.

Low

Carbuncle - Has participated well while remaining useful and non-scummy.

Leviathan - Leviathan has more dirt against him than some others in this section, but I find him innocent for the time being. Nothing he has said has struck me as scummy. I will read over his posts some more though.

Phoenix - A can't help but shake this weird vibe that Leviathan and Phoenix work in tandem sometimes. Apart from that Phoenix is innocent to me on the most part.

Valefor - I need to read Valefor's posts, but again I see little wrong with him.

Townie

Ifrit - Some will argue this, but his actions have, to me, proven his alignment. It was because of him we lynched the serial killer, which basically rocks.

Ramuh - GO ME.

D'ARRRRRRRRRRRRR!

Ahoy there, landlubbers! I be Cap'n Ifrit and ye all be welcome aboard me ship, the Spirit o' Fire! We be goin' treasure hunting for that most dangerous treasure o' all: SCURVY MAFIA DOGS! ARRRRRR!

D'arr, last night I be given Vigilante powers, and I tried to keelhaul that lily-livered "Death Miller" Bahamut! D'arrr, I was either roleblocked or someone protected me target. Which of ye bilge rats would do such a thing? Y'arrrr!

[[M] Felix]

I think ye be postin' in the wrong thread, Timekeeper lad.

Anyway, I am very confused about Bahamut's role and I'm not sure I entirely believe him. For someone who was acting suspicious for the duration of day 1 to come out and say that he is a death miller seems very off to me.

Like I said before, comparing Bahamut's account's tactics on Day 1 to the rest of the Days tells you nothing. I'm a different person. But how do you find my actions on Day 1 suspicious, particularly?

That role frustrates me. There's absolutely no solution for it. About the only way we would know anyhing is if we had a watcher or a tracker to follow him through the night to see what he does. But even that might not be enough. Ugh i just can't see any loopholes...IF he's even telling the truth about his role.

Frustrates me, too. The Watcher/Tracker thing actually seemed like a good idea to me for a second, though. Then I figured hypothetically that if I was Mafia, I could work it out with the rest of the group to where I didn't take actions at night (if possible). But why in the world would I limit my team like that if I was part of a group?!

I personally not only find that role iffy, but Shiva's campaign for us to keep the serial killer around.

That was super bizarre, I agree. I'd like to hear from Shiva A LOT today. The more a player posts, the more likely they are to slip up on something. If she's scummy, then she'll send that vibe sooner or later.

Right now I'm all for getting rid of her or Bahamut. This might change when we hear more from them.

Why are you all for getting rid of me? I'd like to hear your reasoning behind it because if I die by lynching, then no one will ever believe me until the game is over.

Bahamut - Like Shiva, I can't feel at ease with Bahamut. Fishy behavior on day 1, and then comes out claiming he is a death miller before the end of day 2. He was obviously worried about something, and I feel that he realised he wasn't in the best of graces so he pulled that roleclaim out to avoid a similar fate to Chocobo's. His petty reasoning on day 1 can be ignored because he was replaced.

You're right about me being worried. I was worried I would die last night after being somewhat in the limelight the past two days. If I would have died without claiming that I was a Death Miller, the Town could have started linking my posts the way it's always done later to logically fish the "other" Mafia members. I know it's confusing enough now but imagine the realization at the end of the game if I would have died and never given this information.

I've been thinking from the other side, also. Some people seem to think that a Cult is in this game. Perhaps people may think that if there's a Cult, I could be the Cult Leader and my claim could be a ploy to keep people from lynching/targeting me. In that case, a Tracker would come in handy for following my any actions I take at night. But I still stand by my statement that any Town roles that target me are most likely wasting their time. Cops would find me guilty when I'm actually Town aligned and Doctors would only be saving me from proving that a "Mafia Goon" was killed at night.

Ah... So, Ifrit claims that he tried to kill me last night! Interesting... Someone didn't listen to me!

But whatever happened last night, let's rejoice that we still have the same number of Town players as yesterday!

[[M] Helo]

One example is that he voted Ifrit just because he thought he was kinda annoying. Many have said they thought Bahamut was suspicious day 1.

[[M] Colette]

I'd like to hear from them today why they thought that, then.

Ifrit, why did you try to kill me? Explain, please.

[[M] Felix]

I tried to send ye to Davy Jones's locker because ye be nothin' but a son o' a syphillis wench, Bahamut. That's all there be to it!

[[M] Colette]

I told Town roles not to target me. Why didn't you listen?

[[M] Felix]

Arrr, ye think I be takin' orders from the likes of ye? I'd sooner be swabbin' the decks!

[[M] Colette]

If you're forced to speak like a pirate, you should still be able to answer my questions.

[[M] Felix]

I only answer questions from me crew. Ye can be first mate if ye'd like. We be dividin' the plunder at the end of every day after another pilferin' wretch be hung from the yard arm.

[[M] Colette]

Is there anyone else here right now that can contribute? I'd like to hear from Leviathan, Ramuh, Shiva, Siren, and Titan.

[[M] Felix]

Avast! Is me word not good enough for ye, Bahamut? Thinkin' o' conductin' a mutiny, are ye?!

##vote: Bahamut

I will see to it that ye walk the plank personally. Aye, it is more than a suckling infant than ye truly deserves.

[[M] Helo]

Also, I just want it to be clear that I know I'll be on the chopping block if Ifrit is lynched and flips town. Even if he's not lynched today, I've walked out too far into the water. It'd be easier to swim to the other side than to go back now. So, if you aren't mafia, Ifrit, then I'll probably be gone before Day Four, be it by Mafia or the noose.

How is Ifrit more dangerous than me? How will his act make him so cleared if he is mafia if you are suspecting him right now?

Why do you find him to be acting suspicious then? Just because it is possible that he is scum? It is possible that I am scum too, and I'm even defending Ifrit. Why don't you vote for me? How is me acting the way I do to show I am town any different from Ifrit's?

These are highly synonymous. I just answered your questions. He has a mask behind which he can easily and reasonably hide and claim town.

Also, I say we do it the other way around. Let's lynch Ifrit first, and if he flips town then I'll take the knot next, whether I like it or not. If he flips Mafia, then I'm off the hook. Whichever way you decide, him or me first, it'll work out the same way.

Ifrit is almost confirmed town. I know these were the statements of the previous Bahamut player, but nonetheless he basically said "If Ifrit is town, lynch me."

[[M] Helo]

Of course, it begs the question. Why did the previous Bahamut attack ifrit so much? Ifrit was not the most suspicious player one day one, yet Bahamut was dead set on lynching him. A Mafia would be scared of Ifrit because of his role being town-aligned. (most likely)

Also I doubt a doctor would protect a death miller when there are other more important roles in play. I believe the reason you didn't die Bahamut was not the doing of the doctor. This plus previous evidence leads me to the conclusion of:

##Vote: Bahamut
