Anniversary Mafia Game Thread - The Final Day

[[M] Adama]

Balthier was the cop! Well, that was surprising. I never suspected him to be a cop. He never role-claimed it, nor say anything about any results...mmm. This now makes (I think) two confirmed cops, Leila's insane, and Balthier is sane.

This makes [M] Wedge's investigative role-claim (for those still disbelieving of me) slightly less convincing. The town surely can't have three cops running around right?

annnnd wrong account again. smurf me.

[[M] Adama]

What I mean is three "standard" cops, my role is different in that it catches Serial Killers. But I digress.

[[M] Apollo]

Fair enough. I kinda just pooled all the blue/investigative roles together in my head as 'cops'
But we're just debating semantics here, sorry. Shall we move on?
Let's see if Balthier gave us anything remotely specific.

[[M] Adama]

That's okay Leon, I understand

Well, in terms of his role, Balthier was even less useful than Wedge

None of us actually knew Balthier was a cop, and this was up to Day Six, were over halfway, hell, I'd even argue were fast approaching endgame. It's unusual for a crucial investigative role like Balthier to actually not claim it. Even worse, he never once described a report. Even if, as Wedge "claims" it turns out he gave the report for someone else to deliver to us, he never said for "I investigated [person] and gave my report to [person]".

Personally, I'm baffled with this revelation.

So I've read through all his posts, and as he said himself, most of the people he has found suspicious have died.
He did talk about Faris, Wedge and Rydia a fair bit (as they were roleclaimers at the time of some of his posts), so it is possible that he investigated them and they came up clean? (he was initially suspicious of Faris and Wedge and later dropped it)
This would reflect Lelia's investigations as well, though this still doesn't rule out Lawyer, 2nd Godfather (crazy, I know, ok?), or the possibility that an SK will only be guilty for an FBI agent.

The main thing here is that Balthier likely investigated Wedge (as he was initially suspicious of him), and Wedge likely came up clean (as Balthier seemed to speak more highly of Wedge yesterday). So unless the mafia has some sort of really annoying ability to PM people (see Mailmain, Courier or Whisperer), this confirms Wedge's innocence and his role.

Well, personally, I think it was a waste of a good role since Balthier was never very active and didn't contributed much. I do recall that he even refused to vote. Actually, I don't think Wedge is a cop anymore. He probably does have some kind of investigative role, but he can't share what he finds out when he investigates. Such a shame to lose another cop.

While I don't have any scummy vibes coming from Wedge (who was totally absent yesterday) I would like to point to my comments earlier that just because he shows up clean doesn't mean he isn't a serial killer. I still wouldn't exactly be comfortable with Wedge just yet.

[[M] Apollo]

A lot of Balthier's posts were from Day 2 before he got the opportunity to investigate (given his critique of Leila, I would assume he investigated himself night 1). So yeah, not much to read from him apart from yesterday's events with the whisper from Wedge.

Who did you follow last night Faris?

[[M] Adama]

Oh wait dang hang on.

So far, everyone Wedge has implicated as receiving the report dies.

Balthier said he got a "whisper", and he is now dead. I don't know about you, but this is worrying.

[[M] Mike - Funny Dad]

Well, nobody took the bait last night, so I've got precisely bugger all to go on today.

I just have one question, though: What in the forty-nine Mulvanian Hells is a Mafia Grifter?

[[M] Adama]

Haven't the slightest clue. What bait were you referring to Rydia?
