P4 - Mafia XIX Game Thread - [Game Over] Mafia DOMINATION

[[M] Helo]

What do you think of Morooka's theory that a scum must be present in the initial vote on Mitsuo?

Considering how easy a target he was, I don't see why one wouldn't go after him.

[M] Mitsuo, [M] Souji, [M] Nanako, [M] Kanji, [M] Shu, [M] Rise

Mitsuo, Souji, Nanako, Kanji, Shu, and Rise make it hard to figure out which. Can we rule out Rise since the scum might've thought who died didn't matter? Mitsuo isn't a top suspect in my vote and also was the first voter, mafia love joining the wagon, not starting one. So I'm looking at Souji, Nanako, Kanji, and Shu as one suspect pool. Anyone agree that this logic is okay? Not great, but alright?

Rereading this, I don't know why he asked if we should rule out Rise. If the mafia doesn't care who died, assuming Mitsuo is town, couldn't Rise just randomly vote for one?

[M] Yukiko, [M] Adachi, [M] Namatame, [M] Teddie, [M] Yosuke

The second pool is easy cause we got two dead guys in it. Yukiko, Adachi, and Namatame are just three names. If we go with my reasoning to let off Mitsuo off the hook for now, then we let Yukiko off it too. So then were down to Adachi and Namatame. I like these odds, but it feels wrong for reasons relating to the actual video game: (SPOILER)antagonists as scum? come onnnn.. But it fits as the child of my bigger theory of scum joining in on the big votes of townies, so I'm still selling it.

Adachi, I find it interesting that you ask me what I think about Morooka's theory, since if we follow his logic, you and Namatame are the biggest suspects. Still, I don't see why we should let Yukiko off the hook.

Night guys.

I ask you what you think about his theory because I agree with it. It would make sense for scum not to put all their eggs in one basket. The fact that the smaller basket has me in there is irrelevant. It just means I only have to pick between Yukiko and Namatame; perhaps both of them are scum.

Rise could have just randomly voted, but then she'd have attracted far more attention to herself. I don't think it was a mafia ploy that she came in late and took the time to make a vote; I think she is a busy player in real life who wanted to make a good decision on a crazy deadline.

Cheers Daisuke!

If it means so much to you Adachi I will vote.

## Vote [M] Souji

My lack of post come from having a busy schedule during what appears to be the "peak hours" of the game. There is usually not much activity in my time zone.

As for not voting for Souji right away, I wished to give him a chance to either defend himself or I was hoping to have him slip up and add some more weight to my position. If you think about it Adachi, he's been acting the same as me, coming in and making big statements then leaving to let everyone make paranoid statements. Shu was certainly a mistake but his actions for the first two days were erratic, which made him suspicious. Teddie on the other hand was obvious off kilter from the rest and was too obvious. Then he jumped to Rise for no reason other than she made the lynching vote despite the timetable showing she had only a small amount of time left of Day 1 to make a guess, which circumstantially is not good enough evidence to make her a target.

I feel he has been trying to control this investigation more than any of us and that just doesn't sit well with me.

Wow behind...... Imma catch up guys then post! From skimming, I think I'll be able to make a vote! Fingers crossed

[[M] Dave – Stepdad]

Yet another wasted lynch guys

Why did you sound so certain Souji? Do you know something the rest of us didn't? Very curious to make that statement before we even knew Shu was innocent.

First you move everyone against Teddie really quickly and now you are trying to pin things on Rise and Mitsuo. For someone who feels we need to be careful, you have certainly been quick to call out people as mafia. I find this very suspicious...

I found it odd too when he posted it. I also see that he has been hasty to make calls on people. But so has Adachi. Only this whole time Adachi has been calling out Mitsuo and the only other times he has called someone it has been an inactive to try to get the to speak up.

I'll pay that. Still, while you're around, thoughts on anyone?

What do you think of Morooka's theory that a scum must be present in the initial vote on Mitsuo?

I don't understand his logic in this at all. Can someone please... "spell it out".

Guys I just had a thought, so far we haven't taken out any inactives, and we haven't taken out any mafia either, what if the mafians got together and said, lets not post hardly at all, then they wont have any evidence to vote for us?

I hate to say I agree with this. He has a point. It would be a pretty off the wall way to throw us all off.

With roughly 4ish mafia members in play, odds are that mafia voted day one. Mafia like to split their votes, so they don't "bandwagon" together. If you bandwagon and get one, you get them all, so to speak.

[[M] Dave – Stepdad]

I guess that makes a bit more sense, but I still think it's a long shot idea, kinda like Mitsuo's idea about the inactives. Who know though. All we can do is choose and hope to god we do the right thing.

As for me, I'd have to go with Naoto. She's presented the best case against Souji, and his "way to waste a vote" comment strikes me wrong. So for now...
##VOTE: Souji

[[M] Mom – Host]

14 hours remain, dearies~

Current votecount.

[M] Souji (2) - [M] Naoto, [M] Nanako
[M] Naoto (1) - [M] Adachi
[M] Daidara (1) - [M] Kanji
[M] Mitsuo (0) -
[M] Kou - (0) -

[[M] Aaron]

Well I don't know about you guys, but I'm gonna prod some inactives.

##Vote: Kou


And none of this "oh I'm just prodding an inactive it's not a serious vote" bull. If it's not a serious vote it's not gonna be taken seriously. It's gonna stay. We don't have to lynch one, but if we're going to put the pressure on, we have to put the pressure on.

##VOTE: Souji

I've been agreeing with Naoto for quite some time and seeing as how Souji did nothing to defend himself at this point...

##Vote [M] Souji

Also, I'm getting kinda sick of being a conscientious non-voter. xDD

I completely agree... People are too quick to hate on you for just voting... -__-

[[M] Caprica]

Naoto raises an interesting point. "Trying to control the nvestigation." An important part of this game is to never let others do the thinking for you. Bolded and italics for how important this is.

You can agree with what someone says, like how right now I'm agreeing that it is definitely something to be aware of. But the only people who want to control your votes will have their own agendas that are on the sinister side. (A Lyncher* and Mafia members.)

Also inactives need to get into the game. By day 3 there really is no excuse anymore. Daidama, Hanako, and Kou. Get out here or get a partner. There are a fwe people who were killed that would make good replacements/partners if needed. You signed up to play mafia. Not to loiter at Junes.

*Note that a Lyncher is a third party role that has a random person made their target. They win if that target is lynched.

[[M] Dave – Stepdad]

Seriously guys? It's been almost 3 hours ans NOTHING. We need to get this going...

[[M] Trevor - Gay Dad]

Hey guys, sorry I wasn't here earlier. I'll try and catch up on what I've missed, though there doesn't seem to be too much, apart from losing another two townies. Looks like things aren't going in our favor.

[[M] Caprica]

Slowest day 3 ever.

What are your thoughts Nanako and Namatame?
