Of importance to note that, since it's pretty clear the Driver used his ability on me and OS Night 2, this means he did not drive EE night 2. This means that EE's innocent result is 100% correct, (he was investigated N2) and Tandora's flipped 100% town, we know she's sane based on Gordito's flip. This means EE's 100% clear unless you think indy's show as innocent (people mentioned earlier) , which to me is crazy I"ve never experienced that

Need to hear more out of everyone. We need to be VERY careful today, I agree that no votes should go out yet. Nix is the play for the day so far, as according to plan but we gotta think every angle thru for now.

Good question Nix. If SC was driven and got OS's result instead of mine, and it said no night actions, then Gheb, how did OS recruit you N2? That doesn't add up at all.

SCs tracking targets were switched, right? The "no visit" result he got came from EP [who has not claimed to have a visiting role] but his target was switched to OS so it said that OS went nowhere. Isn't that what a bus driver does?

I'm not aware of drivers switching both the RESULT AND the target. In Samuel L. Jackson Mafia, I was the cop. On night 1 I tried to investigate Kirby King, but I was informed that I instead investigated Virgilijus, who showed up as innocent. Both were town.

the driver switches your targets, so because SC attempted to track EP the driver forced him to track OS instead....

For example, the Bus Driver switches Jill and Jack. That same night, a voteblocker targets Jill and a SK targets Jack. It will be Jack to be voteblocked and Jill to be killed. The next night, those players will no longer be switched (unless the Driver targets them again).

Isn't that exactly what happened to SC? I'm sorry if I sound silly now but I find it the role hard to comprehend, it's not in my native language and even if I did understand it right I don't see how it contradicts the actual happenings.

That is exactly what happened to SC thats my point >_> He said he attempted to track EP N2, but the driver switched EP and OS so he ended up tracking OS instead. SC said that OS did not visit ANYONE, but you claimed you were converted into the mason that same night >_> Explanation for that then please?

I still don't see how it needs an explanation? If OS / EP were switched by the driver doesn't that mean that SC got the result of EP going nowhere [with the PM notifying that OS went nowhere]? That's what a dirver does, isn't it?

So isn't that exactly what should be the case ... since EP doesn't have a visiting role?

lets see if i can simplify this some more >_>

we'll use EP And OS as examples. Lets say that EE targets EP for his vig shot, but the driver switches EP and OS.....EE will shoot OS instead...get it now?

SC tried to track EP, but instead tracked OS who visited NO ONE >_> Its not that hard to understand......

Sorry that sounds confusing. What I mean is that I thought that if a driver picked me and OS and someone tracked me, it would actually track OS.

What Gheb and EE are saying though is that if a driver picked me and OS and someone tracked me, it would actually track me but it would tell the scanner that he tracked OS.

I'm just dont know how a driver works so maybe this is all overblown confusion..gonna try to research on it.

Gheb, you're positing that the Adum got Ed's result, but was told that he tracked OS. That doesn't make sense. If they were driven, adum would be told he was tracking OS, and thus get OS's result. The Driver role would be literally worthless if it just changed the name of the person you targeted but kept your results the same.

I understand now what you mean but it's still not how I know the Bus Driver. I thought he would switch the target of a PR in order to hand him a wrong result. That's how I thought the role works since I heard of it.

Yeah, it takes 3/4 to lynch - vote blocking any of you guys would've prevented a majority to happen and thus forced a No Lynch. I could've killed EE, vote blocked anybody to force a no lynch and then kill + voteblock again for an easy win.

The thing is though ... I can't kill anybody because I'm town.

Well, if you killed me there would have been five players toDay, not four. So that wouldn't have worked.

Gheb, where did you hear about the Driver switching the supposed target but not the result? I've never heard of that, and I feel that the Driver would be worthless if that were how they operate, because you'd know that you've been Driven, and thus able to deduce the result of your intended target by simply ignoring the fact that you were ever driven to begin with.

Yes, I see now that the way I imagined the role wouldn't work but only because SC was notified that his tracking was redirected [which I didn't know to be part of the Driver role]. If that's the case I don't have an explanation either except speculation. The only thing I can give you is that I've been masoned by Overwarm, am the town vote blocker and that I would've won the game already if I was scum.

Well...I am out of ideas, EP was cleared by Tandora before her death, EE is at the least not mafia due to there being 2 kills last night. So it's up to you both EE and EP take your pick =P Me or Gheb.

@Edrees: Are you leaning to Gheb, or Nix? Answer in as much detail as you can.

@Gheb: Who's the play from your POV? As much detail as possible.

@Nix: See above.

I'd rather lynch nix and if he flips town, vig gheb. Nix came up with that last ditch effort to get gheb lynched and also has been in the shadows all game. In add. we aren't tooo sure how the driving works. I'd like gheb to show some exampels of a drive in the vein he's talking about tho cuz I never heard of it working that way.

Leaning to sticking with lynching Nix but im gonna re read the whole thread to make that decision.

gheb ru ok with lynching u and vigging nix?

nix ru ok with lynching u and vigging gheb?

....Vig wont do any good since mafia kill > Vig Kill...you mislynch you lose >_> I've made my case, lynch who you wish...and of course its a last ditch effort >_> Its kind of MYLO and all that and while being kind of useless all game doesn't mean I want us to lose =P

Also...Gheb already took back what he said saying it wouldn't work like that...so why should he try posting a example?

I wouldn't mind being investigated toNight btw. Since we already lynched the godfather there should be no case of confusion. If Tandora investigates me and gets the inno we can also pseudo-confirm her sanity. Since she already has 2 innos and gets a third one that'd mean there'd be 3 scumbags left [in case she's insane], which is pretty much out of the question as we already lynched two.

With that "clear" on Tandora we can also clear EE, GBoy and myself at the same time and [without trying to blow my own horn too much] I think it would be REALLY beneficial for town to have clearedGheb in endgame - with the Doc alive, there's even a chance that clearedEE and clearedGheb will both be alive during lylo and I think that'd be the ideal case if it actually comes down to lylo.

With that said, I think Tandora should investigate me [imo the most effective investigation] while the Doc absolutely MUST protect her. If we have at least 2 guaranteed innocents toMorrow, we're in a great position. Overswarm should investigate EP and if he's innocent too, then SC or MS are the plays. I want EP investigated because I find him somewhat hard to trust but he looks like a smart player at the same time. Being able to trust him will be more helpful than trusting MS [whom I wouldn't trust even if there WAS an inno on him] or SC whose input was not on the same level as EPs imo.

tl;dr Tandora investigate me - OS investigate EP

I really think that this course of actions will help us to win the game

:059:

This is supposedly be after you got "converted" into the Mason....why waste a investigation on you if you were in a town mason with OS? And you telling your partner to investigate EP here, when did you both decide on MS instead?

I'll choose who I investigate, Gheb. If mafia happen to kill who I'm going to investigate, I'd be put in the position of saying "my power didn't work" the next Day. This would either get me lynched (likely), or have me wait to use it the next day where the same possibility arises. I'd rather not announce to scum what their best play is. Killing who I investigate would result in no investigation for me and then my lynch the next day and a free NKill for scum. While Tandora is in the most danger toDay if she's a cop, it is entirely possible that gordito is a recruited player and they feel safe having a cop around, as the cop wouldn't waste an investigation on Gordito again. This means there is a possibility of me getting blocked via a NKill.

If they have a roleblocker, we lose Tandora and I'm roleblocked, which would suck balls. If there is a tracker/watcher, you should really try to verify what happens to me and/or Tandora.


OS didn't like you telling him what to do it seems


The two I'm most concerned with right now are Edrees and Gheb. Edrees is one of the better players in this game in regards to being difficult to read. Gheb is another strong town player, but he's become silent too. I know I'm town, so I always watch to see what active players fade away after a wagon starts on me. Lots of scum will do that so they look less suspicious after the flip. One of the easiest ways to catch scum is to push for someone you know is town, then watch them stop posting. Gheb has kind of done this... but he still posts, just useless, yet true, things. It's hard to read, I will admit.



I think Gheb and Edrees need to comment on EE's case on me.

OS is still concerned with you even after he "converted" you?


I'm assuming Tandora and Gheb are both town due to Tandora's claim. I could, perhaps, investigate Tandora to see if she's town or not. That could be helpful in the long run. That said, Tandora and I are both kill targets. Unlikely that someone else would be a kill toDay.

Current fabricated list:
Town assuming Tandora is town
15. Tandora
5. ronEEke
10. ChiboSempai (but posting enough to avoid prod)
9. Overswarm

LIkely town but possibly recruited:
14. GorditoBoy69 (Tandora did say she investigated him, right?)

Unknown

1. Gheb
6. Soviet Coffee(AdumbroDeus/Shaya hydra)
7. Edreesespieces
13. Mad Scummy (Swiss/X1-12 hydra)
11. Nix2100

That leaves 5. I'd be down for a Soviet Coffee lynch toDay. Edrees would work, but I consider him a stronger player in lyo situations so I might want to keep him around for that. Nix better suited as a vig kill imo, mod will have to kill him shortly anyway. Gheb is also strong, would rather see him investigated too.

It'd probably be one of those 5.


@MOD REQUEST PROD ON NIX

So first all...between a claimed cop that's throwing out stuff and a non-claimed townie....i'd rather investigate the cop and yet even though he said in that one paragraph that he assumes your both town due to tandora claims....he puts you in the unknown list despite having Tandora "cleared".

And see that sentance on the bottom? He says he wants you investigated >_>


There was also that comment he made that I forget where but said he would hold your hands UNTIL you did something stupid >_>

I'm also out of ideas.....again -_- 5 days till deadline

Not sure why there's still speculation though <_< regardless of what the driver did, the fact is that SC tracked OS going NOWHERE the night Gheb got "converted"....mechanics and all that you know?

@Gheb: Who's the play from your POV? As much detail as possible.
Regarding Nix:

During all our discussion about the contradiction between SCs claim and myself we didn't take note of the possibility, that Nix could be lying about his role [this also actually applies to EP too]. Based on past experiences with him I know for a fact that he - regardless of his alignment - likes to lurk a lot when he has a PR [more so than he does when he's Vanilla imo], which is why I left him alone earlier when people wagoned him for his passivity. Nix is the player we know the least about and that troubles me more than the other players - no result from Tandora and no confirmed power either [all the other remaining players have either one or the other]. His play doesn't match with his role at all and we have no other information on him.

Regarding EP:

He could also be lying about his role except that he is cleared by Tandora - the problem with him is, that I don't get pro-town vibes from him anymore, especially in his recent posts:

I'd rather lynch nix and if he flips town, vig gheb. Nix came up with that last ditch effort to get gheb lynched and also has been in the shadows all game. In add. we aren't tooo sure how the driving works. I'd like gheb to show some exampels of a drive in the vein he's talking about tho cuz I never heard of it working that way.

Leaning to sticking with lynching Nix but im gonna re read the whole thread to make that decision.

gheb ru ok with lynching u and vigging nix?

nix ru ok with lynching u and vigging gheb?
First of all this post shows that he is clearly skimming - it would be excusable during Day 1 RVS but this is probably mylo and I don't see why you would ask somebody a question he answered just before. Ronike wrote a great post in the original FFVII Mafia on how skimming can be a scumtell later in the game [what he's essentially saying: as mafia you are more likely to skim based on your knowledge advantage] and I feel that this is exactly the kind of skimming that shows lack of care in an important situation.

And his plan is absolutely unacceptable. The "lynch one, vig the other" formula is stuff for Day 1 to get rid of dead weight but such a suggestion in mylo is ridiculous. He doesn't even consider the fact that the mafia kill has most likely priority over the vig kill [otherwise it would be broken in town's favor]. His lack of concern in such a situation doesn't sit right with me. That's definitely not the kind of pro-town play I'm expecting so late in the game - it'S quite the contrary actually. I'd consider him the play ovver Nix if it wasn't for Tandora's innocent on him, which makes him indy at worst [and right now lynching the last mafioso definitely takes top priotity].

Regarding EE:

Confirmed Power, innocent on investigation and based on previous nights unlikely to be indie - completely clear in my eyes.

So the order is Nix -> EP for me.

Now to answer Nix' points:

This is supposedly be after you got "converted" into the Mason....why waste a investigation on you if you were in a town mason with OS? And you telling your partner to investigate EP here, when did you both decide on MS instead?
We wanted Tandora to investigate me to keep me clear in case Overswarm masoned anti-town. The plan was to give me maximum credibility via the investigation as well as the knowledge over somebody being town or not via the masonry.

I wanted Overswarm to investigate EP because I felt it was better to be sure about him than to be sure about MS - especially since I thought of MS as a good lynch anyway, whereas EP I was simply unsure about. However, since it was Overswarm's power he had the last saying on whom he wanted to recruit and he thought that MS was a better recruitment than EP.

OS didn't like you telling him what to do it seems
OS is still concerned with you even after he "converted" you?
Saying you "don't like something" or "something concerns you" and actually playing accordingly are two very different things. Both Overswarm and I are aware of this so we decided to not buddy-buddy too obviously - leaving breadcrumbs is one thing we can refer to later and a situation like we have now but going further than that would've been dangerous [especially with the amount of good players in this game we decided to not go too far].

Fact of the matter is that he never played as if anything I did or said ever actually worried him - in one of your quotes he even directly asked me to comment on EE's case. I simply chose to avoid a straight answer - and guess what? IT DOESN'T CONCERN HIM IN THE SLIGHTEST. He doesn't even take note of the fact, that I didn't really answer his question. He could've posted ten times that he has problems with me and it wouldn't have been true still because. He simply wanted to create some distance.

So first all...between a claimed cop that's throwing out stuff and a non-claimed townie....i'd rather investigate the cop and yet even though he said in that one paragraph that he assumes your both town due to tandora claims....he puts you in the unknown list despite having Tandora "cleared".
What would you have done? Do you expect him to put me in the "clear" list when to the eye of the public I'm not clear at all? Our breadcumbs have been subtle enough - do you not see that we tried to keep our connection hidden as well as possible? He could've put me in the "cleared" list but what for? To point out a connection we wanted to keep for ourselves? To make ourselves the center of the discussion? There were already enough controversies around him and it would definitely have hurt our mason had he made it that obvious.

And see that sentance on the bottom? He says he wants you investigated >_>
I already told you about it. We both agreed that me being clear would be the ideal case for the town, which is why we both asked to have me investigated. Do you think that's coincidence?

Not sure why there's still speculation though <_< regardless of what the driver did, the fact is that SC tracked OS going NOWHERE the night Gheb got "converted"....mechanics and all that you know?
It's also a fact, that your power [or lack thereof] is not confirmed and that you might be lying. EP also could easily be lying about his role and might've only told us half the story.

Its bad for me when even I am believing Gheb -_- I'd ask to just post your QT with OS or something <_< But i think that's against the rules here.

I will agree with you about EP -_- if it wasn't for Tandora's clear I would be going after him but *Shrug*

Vote: Gheb

There's no point in not voting, Gheb might as well vote me as well I suppose, leave it to EE and EP to figure out who they want to lynch.

Anyone of you buttholes have a convincing argument for being the last bad guy and it is literally driving me insane.

I'll reread the whole thread and come to a decision at some point. Ed who's the play? You never answered to this after your potential play was shot down by Nix.

Nix, the problem is that I don't want to potentially throw the game by voting you when there's a chance that EP could be scum. I particularly don't want to leave it up to EP whom to lynch since it takes 3/4 to lynch, which means that his vote dictates the hammer. I don't like that at all.

Tandora investigated EP last night, and the godfather is dead, unless there is some BP mafia that can make itself clear to investigations, its almost impossible for him to be scum....the thought of him being like a BP SK has crossed my mind, but to the fact that there's only been 2 kills for most of the game, he must of had some horrible luck with his kills for this to have occurred

EP - If your just gonna skim read then don't bother <_< Cause I also voted for Cheeze over Jungle
I didn't skim. That comment was not about you, it was just about Gheb. I was doing a re read on Gheb's actions early game to help me make a decision. I don't think Gheb would bus 3 of his scummates. If he's scum that's what he's done, considering he voted cheesecake, then stated that jungle should be lynched next if cheez flips scum. THEN he's the one pointed out that mad scummy is scum because of OS's mason recruitment.

The reason I brought it up is because if Gheb is scum he bussed 3 scummates, which I find unlikely.

EE I said the play is Nix. he's right that the vigging thing doesn't necessarily work but why not give it a shot. If Nix is lynched and flips town, there is no reason not to try to at least vig gheb because if he's scum Tonight he's won since he'll just shoot EE and then with just me and gheb left the game is mod ended for a scum win.

EE: the other scenario is if I'm scum. if i'm scum and either Gheb or Nix is mis lynched, whether you shoot Gheb/Nix (whichever one is not lynched) at that point makes no difference to me. I'd shoot EE ToNight and it'd be just me and 1 townie left. Even if EE tried to shoot me toNight i would NOT die from it because I'm bulletproof, which EE you know yourself is true. I'm not scum but I'm just explaining that if there is a mis lynch tonight on either Gheb or Nix, you MIGHT as WELL try to vig the other one, because if you don't at least TRY to the game is definitely over for town for sure. Lets hope it doesn't come to this and we lynch scum ToDay, but I'm explaining what i strongly feel you should do should we mis lynch toDay.

And again I'd like to remind you that you can't expect us to take these results at face value when we still don't know if your claim is actually true or just a lie. The fact that you refuse to take stances on people that doesn't involve game mechanics or results gives me the feeling that you hide something.

Either way, don't believe my VT claim then lynch me, its that simple =P
