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

It would help if I vote when I say I'm going to vote! Durr.

## Vote: Valefor

[[M] Elize]

Wow, that is a pretty strong arguement there, Ifrit. I think I will have to bandwagon, because everything else I have thought so far is just mad theories and possibilities.

[[M] Elize]

And I too have forgotten to vote. What an idiot I am...

##Vote: Valefor

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.

Not true, I just didn't want to fall victim to the same traps that we fell for the last time this happened. I was on that losing team and I don't want to lose again. Unlike you I wasn't 100% sure that we have just a cult and no mafia. What made you so sure, anyway? Do you have some information we don't?

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.

I've been plenty active on all the days. When I have time to post, I post. I had a lot of time on Day 2 so I posted more on that day.

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.

I don't even know what you are getting at here. I had suspicions of Shiva and stated them clearly in my other posts and that's all there is to it.

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!

I really don't see how I'm under the radar when I've been plenty active, discussed, and voted for during the three days.

I question your sanity now Ifrit. Who is the person the town believes the most, and therefore the most likely to be recruited? Your actions have defintely gotten you to a revered position among the town. I'd say you are the person who was the most likely to be turned!

Please don't blindly follow Ifrit in a game where one person's goal could change on a day's notice. You have to think very carefully in this game.

[[M] Anise]

I wasn't just talking about you being potentially mafia buddies.

I know that. I was justifying why I would be off the hook if Ifrit flipped town.

What I meant is you might not be mafia or town.

This post was made towards the end of day one, before any mentions of a third party.

Over the last few days, Siren's posts have been fairly consistent, but lacking any real depth or insight. To borrow from Diablos' argument against me:

He posts just enough to stay out of our minds, without saying much. A good Cult Leader would choose someone like this. Actually, a good Cult Leader may act like this.

This is what I believe Siren is doing. I believe the Cult would have at least one person trying to fly under the radar, most probably the leader.

I would like to here some specifics from Siren - who do you think is Cult? What role claims do you believe?

Until then

Unlike you I wasn't 100% sure that we have just a cult and no mafia. What made you so sure, anyway? Do you have some information we don't?

Yes, well of course you would not want the mafia to win, and of course you do not want to lose. Anyway, heathen, I do applaud your attempt to deflect your sins against the Gods onto me. What made the God-Emperor so sure? The answer to your question lies all over this thread, as I posted numerous times my theory and how it had been pieced together.

I've been plenty active on all the days. When I have time to post, I post. I had a lot of time on Day 2 so I posted more on that day.

You have been active, thou heathen, when it has suited you and your dark purpose! Take yesterday. Myself and Lord Carbuncle wondered where you had gone, while discussing the cult and suddenly you appear to play down the looming threat such a group would cause!

You're not the most active, and you're not the least active. You strive for a happy medium, which is what any scum with half a brain would do. Yes, there are others in that situation too, and rest assured that they will not escape the gaze of Rydia forever. For now, though, her glorious eye is fixed firmly upon you.

I question your sanity now Ifrit.

You would dare question the glorious Emperor-God?! Although I do have to note the use of the word "now", as for the last few days you have repeatedly said you believe my claim of who and what I am. And yet now you would turn on me, for uncovering your true nature! Heathen!

Who is the person the town believes the most, and therefore the most likely to be recruited? Your actions have defintely gotten you to a revered position among the town. I'd say you are the person who was the most likely to be turned!

Of course the Emperor-God has a revered position. I am the messenger of Rydia on Earth. However, there have been plenty who have sought to usurp and supplant me. Look at dear Initiate Odin, for example. As for your accusations of being most likely to be turned, well, I wouldn't be surprised if you tried!

Please don't blindly follow Ifrit in a game where one person's goal could change on a day's notice. You have to think very carefully in this game.

SILENCE, HERETIC! The children of Rydia will follow their Emperor-God into the very fires of Chocobo's Dark Palace! They are free to leave the cause at any time they want, but they should also know their Emperor-God will lead them to the promised land!

PS I liked rhyming Ifrit better

[[M] Gaius]

So now I'm suspect for being medium-active? Isn't that what most people in this game are? You're just being silly and grasping at straws now.

I know my 'showing up' when I was 'called out' looks suspicious but all I can say is that it is a coincidence. I don't scan this thread looking for my name, I just post when I come on. It's up to you if you believe me or not.

I question you 'now' because this has now become a game where someone's goals change one day to the next. Surprising you didn't figure that out for yourself, being a smart person that you are!

I don't want to vote for you because it is true that I haven't doubted you much from the beginning. But you have to admit you would be a fine prize for the cult, if not the finest. I can't help but be paranoid now.

On the flip side, I said before I find it interesting with Valefor's behavior. And I see why people are voting for him. He has become alot more of a lay low then he was before. He's not helping town as he was and not participating in much discussion possibly to not draw attention to himself. He did come out when people kept asking where he was. A few minutes after actually so it goes to show you that he was reading this thread most likely but not posting.

Leviathan seems a bit off the rader now as well. What do you think about this all Leviathan?

As for Siren, I'm not sure. She points out the possibility of a Mafia alot.

Anima is weird. Just comes in and votes and leaves. Not sure what's up with that, but I do find it good to point out.

[[M] Adama]

Hm what happened to my other text. Another post coming up.

[[M] Felix]

Sister Phoenix, do not despair. We could come up with some rhymes about the glory of St. Eiko together if you like.

As for the Infidel:

The Gods would say a third are mid-level, not most. But nice try at trying to say you are part of the masses! The most active posters in this thread, as you were on Day One and Two, did not mysteriously slow their posting down later on, coinciding with the wicked forces of darkness growing in power.

I am not smart, heathen, I am merely the most holy! My objectives could well have changed at any point over the last four days, if your blasphemous belief that I could be a recruit is true. Yet you only claim they have done so 'now' after you have become the leading candidate to be cleansed in the heavenly fires. Why is this relevant? Well, you seem to view the Emperor-God as a grand prize. Something to take down with you into the fires of hell. A sort of wicked trophy. That is why you are trying to convince the faithful that I am like you.

[[M] Adama]

Bahamut, my voting record is solid. Day 1 I voted for Alexander for being inactive and not contributing to anything because quite frankly I didn't have much else to go on, but I did think and still think that you are fishier than Ifrit. Day 2 I voted for Choboco which I must point out I was the probably the first one to realize that Choboco's behavior was odd and pointed out some oddities in some of his posts before voting for him. If I was a baddy/Cult member there would be no way of me knowing Chocobo was a serial killer so that destroys your theory right there. Day 3 I voted for Odin for reasons I have already explained a few pages back. And then unvoted and voted for Doomtrain because I thought his inability to want to read the thread and coming in and out without contributing anything was fishy. I also believed Titan's claim that he was insane, but I'm not a bit confused with that since it was revealed he was a dud and possibly was a bomb before. So there you go. I have all solid reasons for my votes.

Let's take a look at your voting record shall we? Bahamut, Day 1 you came out randomly voting for Ifrit for a stupid reason. You said because he annoyed you. The fact that you have the gall to get on me for having a bad voting record when your's is one of the worst in the game just makes me even more suspicious of you. Not to mention the fact that your Death Miller claim is the most suspicious one. You randomly claimed out of no where and revealed that you'd be guilty upon lynch. Interesting.

[[M] Anise]

Anima has made eight (8) posts in the thread, assuming I can count correctly. Even a new player would have suspicions or thoughts on somebody.

[[M] Aaron]

I do have suspicions!

First people be thinkin' that I be mafia and now people be trippin' and thinking I be in a cult! That's whack! LOL

[[M] Gaius]

Ok you guys can do what you want with me. I'm not cult though. I truly don't have the time to get into this right now. I agree that my posting times look suspicious but it's just that: looks.

My role is Hag. If I die then the next night phase is skipped. So essentially you get a do over. And if you're nice I bet Rydia will give you 50 hours for that day. Then this game of mafia can be longer than the NBA playoffs. I'm pro-town, though, and I've been so all along.

I really think you guys should rethink the 'power' of this town: Ifrit, Titan, and Carbuncle. Why wouldn't the cult want to have such power? Titan most of all since he was outed on Day 1. Has he helped us at all? What was all that Dud nonsense? That's all I got for now.
