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

However, all of the aforementioned claims are all pretty :smurf:ing powerful. For Vanilla Townies like me, it should instill confidence, right?

Quite frankly, this scares me. Someone has to be making a false roleclaim. I've been trying to figure out who and so far, Bahamut's claim is the most outrageous.

Back in a sec with some quotes.

[[M] Caprica]

@Ifrit: Right, thanks for the correction

Valefor: Hag :ursula:

Odin and Leviathan: Vanilla

[[M] Felix]

Those Children of Rydia who haven't claimed could well be vanilla townies, and therefore are likely to be claimed, if not all ready claimed, by the vile wicked cult.

[M] Diablos
[M] Levaithan
[M] Odin
[M] Phoenix
[M] Ramuh
[M] Siren

I suspect some of these to be part of the dark empire, however, I do not believe there is any point in hunting for regular Cultist defilers just yet. Even if we purge a foul one each and every day, we will still lose, simply because we are losing a townsfolk every day to the cult. They have a net gain of 0, we have a net loss of 1. The Dark Priest has to be our target. Once he has been cleansed, the rest will then be eliminated.

For Vanilla Townies like me

[[M] Caprica]

^that was my roleclaim.

[[M] Felix]

Yes, Brother Leviathan, I am aware, I was typing that post before you made your claim.

Either way, it is still relevant.

[[M] Felix]

CULTIST WATCH '10
Phoenix: Voted for Siren and then Anima
Diablos: Voted for Valefor
Odin: Voted for Valefor
Leviathan, Ramuh, and Siren have yet to vote.

And fear not, Children of Rydia. I know some true believers are in this group of six - statistically, there has to be! However, this is the best way to monitor the foul ones so far in your Emperor-God's opinion.

[[M] Felix]

Also, I do not believe power roles can be recruited, as your Emperor-God has not been recruited.

"How do we know that?" etc. you do not, Children of Rydia. I am not trying to convince you. I am explaining to you why I take the stance that I do.

However, it would also not surprise me if some of the passive power roles, eg Bahamut's, Valefor's (if he is being honest) are recruitable by the depraved satanists.

[[M] Helo]

Sorry, I refuse to claim. A mass roleclaim, where we pick out the roles that don't compute, needs to be done earlier in the day where we haven't already got a favorite for the lynch. I will address this problem with voting though, and I'll smack a vote on a person who has yet to roleclaim and yet to vote. I also find her to be the most shifty.

##Vote: Siren

[[M] Felix]

I agree with you, Brother Ramuh, that there should not be any unnecessary claiming.

[[M] Adama]

Also, I do not believe power roles can be recruited, as your Emperor-God has not been recruited.

I don't know about that. The town would have an unfair advantage I think. If she's telling the truth, the only power role that could not be recruited is Shiva because of her Nexus role. Ifrit has a possibility of not being recruited because he protected himself last night and night 2 I protected him. Bahamut, I did not say I could not protect myself anywhere but it's obvious that would make no sense if I could since I also have roleblocking ability.

[[M] Felix]

That is why I speculated that perhaps passive roles can be recruited, Lord Carbuncle. This would leave just three - or possibly four, if Shiva can deflect recruitment - that are immune. Assuming, of course, there is nobody else out there with a night action who has yet to reveal their identity in this Holy Temple.

@Ifrit: Ah, alright then

Now to my post!

Anima, I'll try my best to explain the roles of everyone that's claimed so far to the best of my ability. I suggest you look through the Flash setup in the Mafia XIV Sign-up and Discussion thread, also. It's very informative. It's also extremely late in the game to be asking for help and explanations. You should have done your homework.

Blah blah baleted the rest of that post because it was long and long.

I have noticed that I'm not the only one skeptical of Anima's claim to jesterism.

You know, given how I am technically Odin, there should be nothing stopping me from cutting every god damned one of you in half.

Anime is not a damned Jester. He is crazy. He's a certified Lunatic, and at this point Ifrit's Idea that it's a diversion or my theory Bahamut is the leader are the two best leads I say exist.

From the interaction between these two (Bahamut and Anima, that is), I get a "I'm the cult leader and this is one of my recruits here. We're really playing up the newb card and I'm having him claim a big, scary role so that everyone will be too afraid to lynch him to see if he's a cult member or not because I will look pretty damn suspicious if he's lynched and turns up cultist after all that help I've given him. I'll even add a silly humorous note that I'll trout him if it was all for naught! Bwahaha, they'll never find us out now! " sort of feeling.

Time for: Leviathan's Theory! *cue catchy theme song music tune thing*

:strawpanties:Why did Bahamut claim Death Miller? Because it's convenient.

People will look at him like at first because the role itself is just plain fishy (as I've mentioned so many times before, can you tell I hate that role yet? ), but he was playing it safe in case there happens to be a cop around somewhere. "Go ahead and investigate me because no matter what you'll get a scummy reading off of me. It just comes with the role, folks. " He probably figured that if there happened to be a cop, the cop would probably go ahead and investigate to humor him, but they would get "innocent" rather than scum, because unless the mods decided to change cult roles as well, the roles flash says that cultists appear innocent upon investigation. Seeing him appear innocent instead of scum would then cause the cop to question wtf is going on so they would either ask Bahamut wtf happened (to which he may claim a powerful pro-town role and say he was trying to hide) or investigate themselves to see if they were paranoid or naive. Or both even. And then life would go on unless he slipped up again.

What I'm trying to say is...

I was suspicious of Bahamut from the get-go. When 2.0 came in, I reserved a little bit of the part of me that suspected something, just in case 2.0 made a scummy move as well.

One of the first things about 1.0 that set me off was "If Ifrit is lynched and turns up scum then you can assure that I'm town. If he's town, you can assure I'm scum." That's quite ambiguous. In fact, that would have been enough for me to consider lyncher/lynchee, possibly. In fact...

[[M] Caprica]

Okay, I now have two theories. Call me wacky if you wish but I think they're plausible.

a) Bahamut = cult leader

b) Bahamut = lyncher, Ifrit = lynchee

It really seemed like in day 1, Bahamut was completely set on getting Ifrit lynched and no one could figure out why. According to the roles flash (and if the mods followed it for this), lyncher wins if he survives in small games, and he tries to get the lynchee killed, which would explain why he was so intent on getting Ifrit lynched.

[[M] Caprica]

Obviously both cant' work, so now I'm going to look both theories over and try to figure out which one may be it.

Until then, I haven't eaten yet and I probably should before my tummy gets louder :s
