Mafia XXV: Action Movie Badasses Game Thread Day 6

[[M] Trevor - Gay Dad]

So since Bruno didn't comment on massclaim, we're now 5/7 agreed on massclaim with 3/5 agreed on Vin Diesel as first

[[M] Joe - Army Dad]

##Vote: Vin Diesel

Largely because I trust Sammy. Go ahead and vote me for sheeping, I care not.

I don't understand what I have to do with this.

[[M] Joe - Army Dad]

Also @Everyone: what is your preferred alignment?

Like I said earlier, Chaotic Good. In terms of Mafia, though, I honestly do not care. I just do not like the Survivor role, I find it distasteful. Otherwise, I'm game!

I am also fairly certain I know who you are Nicolas Cage, based on logic, deduction, and some mystic powers.

[[M] Dee]

Last post of the night before I sleep and then do all of the things I have to do tomorrow. My top two scum targets are Vin OR Cage. Note the or. I think between one of these two we will find a scumster.

I don't trust Vin because of his actions yesterday. It felt a lot like a mafia member trying to secure trust by making himself appear "useful".

Next is Cage, I feel he's laid low throughout the game of his 64 posts about 20 have come in the beginning of this day.

More importantly, I don't trust him because for a very, very intelligent player his logic isn't sound. I'd expect a townie player that is experienced enough to know sophisticated mass-roleclaim techniques to also be looking for suspicion through the best possible method, systematic review of previous behavior. Scum lies, the best thing to do is to look through a person's posts and look for a moment where a player has tripped up and contradicted his or her self. Cage looks like he's someone who looks like he's trying to figure out if I'm scum or not, instead of looking through my activity throughout the game, he's being going of stuff said in the here and now. My Day-Vig claim deserves suspicion, I withheld info for a long time not expecting to be left alive, this is the sort of thing that I expect a pro-town player to be bringing up. Sam's mention of my lack of using my role when I didn't confirm I could no longer kill made me trust him more, it proved he was paying attention.

Next there's this:

Was I really jumping down your throat?

Or was I perhaps asking an eminently logical question?

@Everyone: would a townie jump to such a conclusion?

This is the fence-est thing I've ever seen. To start by calling to question a purely emotional response, my tendency to take offense to things, just doesn't make good scum-seeking sense. The angriest isn't always the scummiest. But on top of that, you don't even take a stand! You instead beg the question to the rest of the town. I'm starting to question if you have any opinions of your own that aren't dictated by town reactions, except ones that are simply excused such as "I advocate a lynch to anyone who smurfs up my popcorn method", taking your "choice" for lynch out of your hands, excusing yourself from suspicion.

Cage is probably top of my list right now so for that, I'll change my vote in case I get tied up indefinitely tomorrow.

##unvote:
##vote: Cage

(I'd still rather see Vin claim though. I think Nick would be a better liar and we'd learn less from his claim )

[[M] Dee]

*phew* And with that, good night I'm off to sleep!

[[M] Trevor - Gay Dad]

Like I said, Thurman: Don't sing it, bring it.

[[M] Trevor - Gay Dad]

@Sammy Make a case on me . I don't care if you believe it or not, and I don't care if it's accompanied by a vote or not, but do your best to get me lynched today or in the future.

[[M] Trevor - Gay Dad]

For the record, I've asked for a case on me as both town and scum.

You're asking way too much effort from me when I consider you a strong contender for townsperson. You campaigned against Jason Statham in the face of Sigourney Weaver's behavior, too much for a member of the mafia in my opinion, so to me you are not a concern.

My case against you for scum is based on the fact that you have asked me to try and get you lynched. I don't get that and it's annoying because I just want to dick around and enjoy the fact that I am the bestest badassest mothersmurfer here.

Knowing techniques and being a good detective are not the same thing, and so I don't think Uma Thurman's assessment of you is any good. You're an academic primarily, but your field experience is increasing as time goes on and I am confident you will make an excellent hunter. I also don't think your logic has been that unsound throughout but what do I know, I'm just a kid.

[[M] Trevor - Gay Dad]

So you think I'm buddying Thurman and using trout logic Good start, but you can do better.

I thought of you as confTown when you were claiming shrink, but you've now claimed Spy/Tracker/Spy. Prove that I'm right to trust you or I will stop doing so. A good case on me would be your best start. I knoa myself that I'm not looking so hot right now due to my time online, so trying to show me as scum should be child's play. If you deserve my trust, you can do this

I'd now like to invite literally anyone to make a case on me.

[[M] Trevor - Gay Dad]

Smurf, so drunk. By Spy/Tracker/Spy I meant Spy/Tracker/Something new

[[M] Joe - Army Dad]

Here's a list for you.

Samuel L Jackson's refined suspects list
Sylvester Stallone
Daniel Craig
Clint Eastwood

The three of them have been relatively inactive over the course of the game. Daniel Craig is sadly indisposed at the moment, which is a pain, and Sly has already pseudo roleclaimed, leaving just Clint Eastwood to join the party today. I'm gonna give you some individual thoughts on each before giving you my overarching logic.

Sylvester Stallone: On Day 1, voted for Steven Seagal. His vote fell at a time when it was clear Seagal was going to cop a lot of heat, but not late enough to simply be seen as straight bandwagon. A scum generally does not want to make the last vote on a player unless they can defend their actions when the person flips town. On Day 2, Jason Statham was done for. Sigourney Weaver had claimed cop and usually people side with the cop. He votes for Jason Statham in a post that was just, I don't know, weird...

I knew something sounded a bit fishy about Statham's role, and been reading through the day, and his newly recent claim for that "gunsmith" role he "won", it doesn't... I don't know, doesn't sound plausable, especially with that "cop" on his ass calling him guilty. I'm inclined to believe Sigourney.

And what's up with our confirmed shrink/doc Mr. Jackson? He's been pretty much absent the entire day? Is he taking a breather from an active Day 1 performance? Seems a little odd to me, so I thought I'd mention that as well. Anyway, don't want to forget my vote.

##Vote: Jason Statham

It's almost like "hey I'm paying attention, oh whoops here's my vote, look I'm contributing!" Day 3 he was right in the middle of voting Sigourney Weaver, but I can't really judge anyone on that as she just didn't endear anyone to her.

That took longer than expected. Okay who's next?

[[M] Joe - Army Dad]

Nicolas Cage I already mentioned what I've claimed. Detetive, Vigilante, Doctor, et al. The town's entire reason for trusting me is that I said there was a third-party killer. You have nothing substantial and nothing of value. Now if you'll excuse me, I have more important things to deal with.

[[M] Trevor - Gay Dad]

For the record, massclaim should include those who have already claimed for the purpose of policy lynching liars.

Last chance, Samuel L. If massclaim happens, liars are the most likely to be scum. If we massclaim, tell the truth when you're named.

[[M] Joe - Army Dad]

So you think I'm buddying Thurman and using trout logic Good start, but you can do better.

PS I didn't say either of that so I'm not even gonna try if you're not even gonna read my posts, your majesty.
