[Game thread] Smurf Mafia

[NinjaCow64]

Tell us who your partner is, NinjaCow.

I'll give you a hint, his name starts with a and it ends with skthepizzaguy.

 

[Askthepizzaguy]

Maybe if you tell me who it really is, I won't believe you and thus, won't lynch him.

Really? Okay, I'll tell you who he ISN'T.

They aren't Mafia. Honest.

 

[Askthepizzaguy]

That's bad news for you, isn't it?

 

[NinjaCow64]

I'm sure you can manage a win.

....So, what if your ummm.... minor attack came from Autolycus and his gift items.

And what if your major attack came from you.

As opposed to your theory that you have two attacks.

Autolycus is perfectly willing to point at Azzaman, while Azzaman... doesn't seem to be as willing to point back. He's more focused on Robbiecon.

Supposing Autolycus is your partner, that would explain a lot.


Auto, under the circumstances, I have to retract the berry votes on you.

And under these circumstances, I think... Azzaman is worth the berry votes. Given how he gave me Smurfette and forced the scums to burn an opera ticket.

Robbie and Azza have both demonstrated positive progress in helping me or helping the overall town goals.

While I cannot support your lynch today, I also cannot support you via the berries at this time.


Unvote: Berries to Autolycus
Vote: Berries to Azzaman


Current theory: It's either Ninja and Autolycus, or Ninja and johnhughthom.

 

[Askthepizzaguy]

Also, if I'm right, you just reverse psychology failed pretty hard.

 

[Kennigit]

okay, so I want to take a few preventative measures that I really apologize for not having done earlier. I've been pretty poor at GMing this game.

(a) I have been following what I did in my previous hosted game,

ORDER OF ACTIONS
The order of actions are as followed in the night
1) healing. all healing or strength boosting or decreasing in the night happens first. This can be either ability based or item based. [this is where consumption of smurfberries also lies, since it is consumable at any time]
2) roleblocking/protecting
3) attacks. Typically the scum get to attack first. Normally ability attacks will occur before item attacks.
4) use of some items (let's say you have a scanning item; you can use it before it gets stolen from you UNLESS it was stolen by something from 1-3)

but if specified otherwise the order can change.

(b) whenever you use a consumable item against someone else, you only see that they consumed the item. I.e. imagine you had a non-existant green berry that you could force feed to someone at night with X effect. You only get to see that they ate the green berry.

Just as a heads up to Robbiecon, Azzaman and johnhughthom:

Ninjacow has been either very tricky with me, or he's been pressured to reveal his partner.

What I've done is gone to him privately and claimed serial killer (as that is the only thing I can claim at this point to influence him)

I've stated I can't do anything for him today, but I can do my best to avoid hitting his partner with my unstoppa-kill.

I also tried very, very hard to get him to flinch by suggesting that he could vote with me and his partner to tie up the round. But I don't think his partner is on board with that.

That said, I think he's been hinting that Autolycus is the person I should not attack.

Furthermore, his claim of having two attacks has to be bogus, nobody has two attacks.

I have a natural, non-item based attack, and I cannot even use item-based attacks at the same time as my natural vig.

Therefore, he's definitely lying about being responsible for both attacks.

He doesn't want to overtly reveal his partner but I'd be willing to bet the farm it is Autolycus.

If this is a mistake, and I have been known to make them, and the mafia is eliminated today with NinjaCow's death, then it's game over, no harm done.

If it is NOT game over, Ninjacow's most likely partner at this time is Autolycus.

As such, I am asking you to move the berries elsewhere.

 

[Autolycus]

2 questions:
When did we get independent confirmation that there are two scum attacks at all?
Who bus drove you if not azzaman, and why would he do that if he's not scum?

1. When JoanK died, he was not the only one attacked that night. No scums have died in the interim.
2. You, I'd imagine.

He might be using reverse psychology effectively, but this is also from the same guy who is ready to throw in the towel altogether and admit his scummery openly.

As such, I think he's been guilted into trying to save his partner.

 

[Autolycus]

Hasn't johnhughthom confirmed that I blocked him?

 

[Askthepizzaguy]

Hasn't johnhughthom confirmed that I blocked him?

How could he do that? He's claimed to be vanilla.

You're not all lying to me, only two of you are.

 

[johnhughthom]

I have not received any messages in the game regarding any abilities being used on me, as to whether I would receive notification of being roleblocked when not using an ability (not that I actually have an ability), I have no idea.

 

[Askthepizzaguy]

You make items that cause attacks, Auto.

What other items do you make? Re-director items, perhaps?

This mafia team would be sunk without special abilities besides just basic attacks.

 

[Autolycus]

All I make is the bombs. I'm Jokey Smurf, that's what I do.

I have not attacked anyone all game.

Character

He is a jolly yet mischievous village prankster who likes to get a laugh out of seeing his fellow Smurfs fall for his jokes, usually at the expense of his fellow Smurfs' patience with him. His most common prank is the exploding giftbox that he usually gives to an unsuspecting Smurf. He never likes it when a joke is being played back on him.

Although in the comics he occasionally pulls other pranks, some of which require a large dose of patience and the curiosity of other Smurfs.

I'm not sold yet.

Another type of prank could be tricking someone into switching places.

In short- Pizza is not amused.

You never did show me those jokey smurf items. I asked for them last night just in case of this particular eventuality, which was the possibility you were the second attacker.

I figured if you were an item-based killer, you could be disarmed, and would not want to be disarmed.

Would you be willing to assuage my fears and give me your jokey bombs?

 

[Askthepizzaguy]

Basically, here's the bottom line-

You've been helpful all game, you've been in constant contact, and I've never put you under direct suspicion, really. I have no actual proof that you were ever attacked this game, and while I understand how I survived due to being protected, over and over, publicly, and even then they still tried to attack. What I don't see is how come you are here.

Your attacks don't even do as much damage as mine. But no one has ever assumed that you were protected and you're not dead. Never really a suspect, always a threat to the mafia, and you're still alive.

It's going to be very hard for me to be persuaded not to ask robbiecon to block Azzaman while I kill you tonight, unless you are disarmed.

If you're disarmed, meaning no Jokey bombs, then it's harder for you to pose a threat to the remaining townies.

It would be a show of good faith on your part that I need right now.

If Ninja is the last mafia, it does not matter. Game ends.

If Ninja is not the last mafia, then it boils down really to you, Azzaman, and john, and I get the strong feeling john is being framed by that redirection. He also hasn't been blocked much all game so the kills should have been more steady if it were him.

The kills not being steady could be attributable to your item-based kill not doing the full job every day.

I need you disarmed to go forward, Auto. Will you cooperate?
