Simpsons Mafia (Game Thread)

[mayor]

I would like to thank the upstanding citizen that helped me out.

and now that's behind us.
I vote to jail: NinjaCow
I don't know by heart who Verarde was, but since Olaf says he's a goodguy, free him. If he's not, please say so and I change my vote accordingly.

 

[classical_hero]

Finally we have some confirmation on what the bad guys are about.

 

[Askthepizzaguy]

Jail: NinjaCow, as I agree with mayor and had my own feelings yesterday about it, with apologies to mayor for being wrong about him.

I'm willing to follow this lead.

Release: Verarde as well.

 

[Askthepizzaguy]

Or not yesterday, some recent day. Bleh.

 

[GenMarshall]

Jaill the cow cows!!! jail: NinjaCow

 

[Autolycus]

Why the NinjaCow bandwagon?

I'd like to put some pressure on jail: Zack. His vote for Takhisis means he's probably not Sprungfeld, but his last several posts have been less than meaningful, to say the least, culminating in a self-vote, which always rubs me wrong.

bestrfcplayer was innocent

just found that out

Where/how did you find that out, Gone 3? It seems your source was wrong.

 

[BSmith1068]

release: Verarde.

I still have a funny feeling about Kennigit. If I get some time today I’ll try to expound on it some, but there is just something off about what he has been saying and how he has been saying it. No one statement makes it obvious, but taken together makes me suspicious. I feel that he is saying just the right things at just the right times to make us all think he is innocent.

Like constantly pushing for the release of Visorslash, only to have him hospitalized as soon as he is out. Or after I ask him to tell me about himself after I tell him who I am and some details a about me in private, he responds with a one word answer (his claimed character) and then that day I get poisoned. I (he then conveniently announces that he thinks I am innocent after I have been hospitalized.) Lots of little things like that. Maybe I am just paranoid, but I think a quick jail stay to check him out is in order. It’s not like we can’t get him out later if I am wrong. Hell I could do it on my own.

jail: Kennigit

You are welcome.

 

[BSmith1068]

Also – let’s not forget about poor Jarrema. He has been in jail the whole game. Perhaps next turn we can let him out so we can get a better look at him?

If there are any protectors out there, I’d appreciate the protection. I am a pretty good resource that would be unfortunate to lose, as long as we have townies in Jail.

 

[Verarde]

Thanks for the release votes, everyone. As they say, patience is a virtue.

 

[mayor]

@Autolycus: I've received some information about your whereabouts last night.... I would like you to tell me where you were....


if you want you can do it in private....

 

[Gone 3 the Celt]

Whoah.... i did something for the good of the town

Where/how did you find that out, Gone 3? It seems your source was wrong.

I thought he was innocent because I have no bullets left in my gun

Verarde

 

[NinjaCow64]

Jail: Kennigit

Release: Verarde

Let's all stop and think for a moment.

This game has a mechanic where players' alignments are revealed immediately when "jailed", and "jailed" players can be released from jail at any time. However, when a player is "hospitalized", or eliminated more permanently, it takes three days for the player's alignment to be revealed, and a player cannot be released from the hospital (by a vote, at least).

Think about that.

It seems horribly unbalanced, right?

Think of the people who have been jailed.

Their alignments have been overwhelmingly innocent.

Now, think of the people who have been hospitalized.

Their alignments have been overwhelmingly non-innocent.

What are the odds of that truly happening? Very, very low.

Now also consider that there don't appear to be any mafia kills at night.

Now consider that there several players have been revealed as various 3rd-party/neutral factions, BUT NONE HAVE BEEN REVEALED AS MAFIA.



CONCLUSIONS:

• Alignment results, especially ones from jail, cannot be trusted.
• There is no mafia faction.
• Instead, there are multiple 3rd-party/neutral factions.

This is the only logical conclusion about the game setup. Otherwise, it would seem to be far, FAR too easy.

 

[Zack]

I'd like to repeat that so everyone sees it.


Alignment results, especially ones from jail, cannot be trusted.

 

[GamezRule]

release: Verarde

 

[landlubber]

Release: Verarde.

Jail: Kennigit

Release: Verarde

At the risk of being called a bandwagoner, we should Hospitalize:NinjaCow. With a bandwagon on him, he doesn't even bother to try defending himself. Instead, he just hopped on the two other bandwagons in play right now. The way I see it, we lose at least an unhelpful townie, so there's not much risk.

 

[Kennigit]

hmmm that makes a lot of sense actually zack.

now, to stop any silliness I would reveal some info about myself, but I will read through the thread in a bit to think it over. There is still a good 27 hours or so until update.

the only thing is that takhisis did claim at sea captain iirc (did something w/ atpg for a roleblock), bigtin claimed lovejoy and was reverend lovejoy, bsmith (snake) revealed to me and subsequently ws snake, landlubber claimed frink and was frink, etc.

I have to believe the game isn't so slow paced as to have "almost no perma-night kills" and "the preferable lynch choice is for instant-reveal info by jailing, which doesn't kill people." So some misinformation would make a lot of sense.

either that or inactive mafia, or some ridiculous factors (like 1 protector just happening to protect the right target on 4/8 nights or something).

 

[NinjaCow64]

Look, I'm one turn away from achieving my goal. Feel free to lynch me tomorrow, but let me at least finish my goal.

 

[Askthepizzaguy]

Jail Kennigit

Indeed.
