High School Mafia: A BRoom Game moved to DGames

[Marc]

Honestly, the only thing I'm going on is the fact that Virg got killed right after he and Marc had a big argument. Sure, it could be a setup against Marc, but it could just as easily be Marc using that as leverage, or evidence against bein' Mafia.

I think it was pretty clear that I really wanted to keep the active players around, that's the same no matter my role. It doesn't feel good to win a game as Mafia because you have no opposition. Also, a mindgame like that would have been too risky at that point in the game IMO. There's no way I can back these things up, but you'll have to trust me on that.

Other than that, I have nothin' on anyone else. So if I'm being forced to vote, I'm gonna go with this small random suspicion, rather than a completely random person.

Fair enough. Though there are small random suspicious things about other people as well. Tunnel vision much?

And as for people voting for Marc, just because they're voting for him doesn't mean that they're Mafia-- it means that they agree with other people. I bet there's someone out there that wants to be the 6th person to vote, and get Marc's lynch-- but if it turns out he's Town, that 6th voter is screwed. To be honest, this is the reason I jumped on so fast-- so I wouldn't be accountable for a potential town lynch.

Always trying to save yourself first, eh? I'm convinced at least one of the people voting for me is Mafia, maybe two. In my previous post I've stated that I consider Mic_128 and Eor to be the most suspicious. Another person jumping on the bandwagon now wouldn't be that suspicious actually, it'd just be overkill. There's no need for the Mafia to add any more voters. As for the agreeing bit, there isn't much to agree to because only Eor provided elaborate reasoning I could respond to and no one questioned my defense.

It's all scare tactics. This game has no strategy.

Scare tactics? I doubt those would help me at this point. Also, this game does have strategy, although some roles are more limited than others when it comes to that.

 

[Xsyven]

And by THIS game, I meant THIS SPECIFIC game. Other Mafia games I'm sure, but for back here, we're just scared monkeys.

Of course one or two people are Mafia. This is Mafia. =/

 

[Mic_128]

I mainly voted because out of two night-kills by Mafia we've learned nothing.

 

[Yeroc]

I've seen enough tonight. I'm voting for Mic because of a couple highly suspicious things I've seen him do in the past couple days. The sabbatical he took when Scav called him out, as Marc said, was apparently only the beginning. I'll admit that I can certainly see the "I just want to live as long as I can while I'm getting better at the game" mentality, as I shared it in my first game last year. But now since he's been back his chief target has been Marc, just about unflinchingly.

I'll vote for Marc because, lets face it, voting for an inactive isn't going to do anything and I think if Marc goes it'll actually open up some information we can use to find moar Mafia guys.

I'll admit I'm not anywhere near the most experienced mafia player either Mic, but in a game where nobody is really doing anything, you don't off the only person that keeps things moving. Mafia is a game of managing necessary evils. If you sit back and do nothing, the mafia will just night kill everyone off at their leisure. The only way you sniff them out is to increase activity. Voting for an inactive does just that. When that person comes round and realizes they're facing elimination, town or mafia, they're forced to spill the beans a little, come up with some defense. And you can use that defense against them later. Marc is by far the most active player left in the game, and as such he's currently the most useful. He's right about inactives. They need to be pressured into contributing or being eliminated as worthless slag. The mafia's not just going to kill them off, why should they? Those people aren't engaged in hunting them out. And worse, some mafia players could be hiding among them as well.

So, Vote: Mic for me. Should either he or[/] Marc be lynched and end up townie, well, that takes care of some of the wool over my eyes.

I did have one question for Eric though:

Also, voting for Virg, then having Virg get killed seemed pretty dumb. In fact, I've been Mafia in a game where we did that to frame someone. It works pretty well until people start catching on.

To me this looks like you're the one trying to confuse people, because this makes no sense. You missed Marc's vote, which was for me btw, and then tried to relate the situation to a previous game you played. But the readily apparent comparison makes Marc out to be the framee, the victim, and yet you're voting for him. Why?

 

[Matt]

Matt Matt Matt Matt Mat Matt Matt Matt

I may be reading into the game creator's sensibilities too much (or failing to), and as a first timer I can only wonder how much Tom's dramatic lust (HAWT) inspired the character creation. Admittedly, I'm going primarily off of the assumption that some of us are merely here to complicate matters and otherwise don't have an important role. Case in point: My position in this game is merely and wholly comic relief (I'm no Jester!).

Which presents two likely possibilities in my opinion, assuming the dramatic flair in the role-making process:

- AltF4 is my foil (as the apparent Goth/Anti-Humorist) and as such is batting for the other team (not homosexuals, but the Mafia)

- AltF4 is closely guarding a power role, but I haven't quite seen enough evidence yet to gather which

I've recently researched all of the possible (popular, anyway) roles of this game, and your observation that no one else has commented on my accusation is possibly revealing. Could AltF4 be a Cult Leader? Or worse? I realize of course that this is a high school theme, and as such we must fulfill the various stereotypes, but I find the lack of attention on his unique personality disturbing. It leads me to believe that others know something that I don't about Alt's alignment.

Okay, so I'm really grasping at very little to draw suspicion towards Alt, but if nothing else it forces him to defend himself. Something he's made no effort to do other than to say "Go ahead and lynch me!"

And I'd like to think that we've accomplished that goal with Marc. In putting him on the defensive, we've learned something very valuable about another player: TEH BIG EVILZ

I know it's old news, but he was dangerously close to being responsible for getting me lynched. New player. Sure, yeah, we get that. But to reappear and so quickly--so hastily--jump once again on the lynch wagon is highly suspicious. His follow-up post to the vote does little to allay my doubts of his (possible!!) eeeeeeeeeevil, because it seems all too convenient to feign a sort of "I'm new so therefore I'm nervous and please overlook my voting habits!" paranoia.

He should have learned by now that such hastily made voting decisions don't look so innocent to the rest of us.

I would like to keep Marc around, and I may yet change my vote again because my scenarios with Alt are chiefly hypothetical. Mic, on the other hand... what do you have to say for yourself?

 

[Matt]

Ah, I'd overlooked this, but Alt's sudden vote change to Marc feels like a mafia opportunity. For someone who accused others of bandwagoning, there's something mighty fishy about Alt doing the very same when someone is on the cusp of being lynched. This, to me, makes him as eligible for a vote as Mic at this point in the game.

This joke's for Tom:

Where did the kittens go on a class trip?

Spoiler

To the meow-seum!

I couldn't make this stuff up, folks!

 

[Xsyven]

Who would have thought that all this game needed was a bit of baseless accusation to get going!

 

[Mic_128]

But now since he's been back his chief target has been Marc, just about unflinchingly.

Other than me explaining above why I voted and actually voting, where did I say anything about targeting him?

If you sit back and do nothing, the mafia will just night kill everyone off at their leisure. The only way you sniff them out is to increase activity. Voting for an inactive does just that.

Uh, how? Wouldn't eventually if all that's being voted are inactive end up with Town getting outnumbered and slaughtered?

The mafia's not just going to kill them off, why should they? Those people aren't engaged in hunting them out. And worse, some mafia players could be hiding among them as well.

Good point. But don't Mafia know who the other Mafia are? Or is this something I assumed wrong?

So, Vote: Mic for me. Should either he or[/] Marc be lynched and end up townie, well, that takes care of some of the wool over my eyes.

Honestly, I'm really not liking this at all, so I hope I don't ruin this for everyone, but I'm going to just going to vote with my gut, and if I get killed, well I'm out of the game and don't need to be worrying about wether I'm saying the right or wrong thing, or not saying it enough or too much.

I don't think I like these games.

 

[Marc]

I've recently researched all of the possible (popular, anyway) roles of this game, and your observation that no one else has commented on my accusation is possibly revealing. Could AltF4 be a Cult Leader? Or worse? I realize of course that this is a high school theme, and as such we must fulfill the various stereotypes, but I find the lack of attention on his unique personality disturbing. It leads me to believe that others know something that I don't about Alt's alignment.

I think his behaviour is weird and it could very well be because of a role restriction. I don't know the various roles nearly as well as you do, which is why I haven't really commented on it yet. I don't know what to make of him, so my focus has been on behaviour I can understand better. I definitely think it's time for Alt to speak up, but he seems a bit too eager to get killed to kill him at this point.

Uh, how? Wouldn't eventually if all that's being voted are inactive end up with Town getting outnumbered and slaughtered?

It's pretty likely there's Mafia among them that won't be found EVER, because they're not an active part of the game. Threatening the death of inactives either makes them active or gets rid of trash (Yeroc already summed that up nicely). You basically assume there that we never get Mafia when we vote for inactives, while we may very well get lucky, I've seen it happen before. This has also been repeated like a dozen times already. You're a better candidate to vote on though.

Good point. But don't Mafia know who the other Mafia are? Or is this something I assumed wrong?

I just don't buy this.

 

[Xsyven]

So Tom, what happens if someone doesn't vote by tomorrow's deadline?

 

[Eor]

Then the person with the most votes dies, I believe

 

[Xsyven]

Also, by request and in an effort to promote activity, every player is now required to vote at least once before the deadline hits.

I was referring to this.

 

[Matunas]

So I'm conflicted on who to vote for but I'm going with Mic. There are a number of people who haven't posted in awhile and it'd be great to get their input on all of this, especially with the deadline coming up so soon. But it doesn't look like we're going to get it.

I agree with Yeroc that I'm conflicted at this point and it'd be nice to get any answers at all. Mic is one of the more suspicious people at this stage of the game and I need a vote in by tomorrow. Mic, not that I think you actually want to die, but it doesn't seem like you would completely mind getting out of the game. Sure that's a lame excuse for a vote, but combined with the rest it's why I'm going for it.

Vote: Mic

 

[Matt]

Unvote: AltF4

Vote: Mic

[Mic_128]

Vote: Matt

 

[Mediocre]

I hate voting with so little information, but it seems like the only way we're going to gain more information is by lynching someone.

In my opinion, that someone should be Mic. His early inactivity seems to me like someone who didn't want to draw attention to himself. I can't know whether this was because he was new to the game or because he was mafia, but there were plenty of other new players who have been substantially more vocal than he has.

Moreover, he hasn't really contributed anything of value to the town. Even recently, when he's been posting more frequently, his posts have been lacking in insights. Again, he's new, so maybe this can be forgiven. But then I consider that Marc has contributed substantively, although so far his contributions have not lead to any results. Of course, no one's gotten any results yet. In any case, I value Marc's experience in similar games to these, and see no reason to think that he is using that experience for the mafia.

Lastly, there's Mic's voting record. It's been all over the place, and he's been very quick to switch his vote when confronted. And, again, this could be a sign of an inexperienced player. It could also be a sign of a mafia member.



On the other hand, the evidence against Marc seems very slim. He went after Virg a bit on day 2, and then Virg was dead on day 3. I think that's very convenient. If I was mafia, playing with a group containing a lot of new players, I might well do the same thing. I can't be sure that Marc's not mafia, but I've seen no reason to think he is. So far literally everyone who has voted for Marc has done so on a "hunch". I have seen nothing even resembling proof.

Now, in playing the Fog I've learned to trust Eor's hunches. It took me a while, but I eventually did. But in the Fog, he always had reasons behind his hunches, even if he didn't tell people about them. So far, I've seen no reason behind this hunch of his. If you've got one, Eor, out with it.



For now,

Vote: Mic

[GoldShadow]

Regarding Marc:
At first, he struck me as suspicious. He took a very aggressive role, and accused me of being mafia a number of times. I don't think, however, there is any real evidence to suggest that he is mafia. Most of his actions seem to me to be pro-town, such as being active to try and draw out mafia or pointing out that a no-lynch could be bad for town.

A few things about him are suspicious; namely, his last big post:

Having said that, I personally would give the people who killed me hell and search for Mafia among them first. The Town side will really need to step it up if we want to win this. Be more careful with your votes, defend yourself like a man and try to trick those Mafia *******s into making stupid mistakes. Remember, they’re big fat liars when it comes down to it.

It seems like he's trying almost too hard to appear pro-town.


Furthermore, he did what Scav did early on in the game and made a list. Clearly, this list is pointing out people Marc thinks the rest of us should watch out for (or not watch out for). Whether his agenda is pro-town or mafia is difficult to tell.

Marc voters (suspicious by default):

Eor: I blame him for the “vote Marc” bandwagon (if you’re Mafia, nicely done). His almost got me killed through a joke vote, then started actively pursueing me. His reason was that I was becoming too much of a leader, while I was supposedly more quiet in the beginning. I think I did a good job defending against his accusations, but no one responded to most of my defense, which is extremely disappointing. Very suspicious.

Crimson King: Doesn’t see a reason not to vote for me, which is not how this works. He never really came up with a good reason to vote for me and he needs to be pressured into a decent explanation. Then again, he doesn’t seem to take this game very seriously to begin with. You don’t kill an active player because of a gut feeling.

Mic_128: He has over 20000 posts, but he sure doesn’t get them from this topic. He got called out on his silly behaviour early on and refuses to post anything ever since. He really wants to live, while he barely plays at all. This makes me think he’s not a regular Townie and I still think he’s very suspicious. I’m voting for him again.

Xsyven: He was a bit hesitant to vote for me, but he did so anyway. This way he won’t get into trouble when the deadline gets near, which is a very good reason to vote for someone. </sarcasm> Seriously though, he tries to think, but when it comes down to it, he trusts his gut instinct. Not as suspicious as Eor and Mic, but he has some explaining to do.

AltF4: Thinks KevinM and me are both Mafia, and tries to test that by killing me. He severely underestimates both KevinM and me, because when your Mafia buddy is about to die, it’s usually better to actually contribute to his death than protect him. He has contributed next to nothing and there’s not much else I can say about him.

Not much to say about:

Goldshadow: Hasn’t been very active lately. I’d like to remind everyone that he was suspected early on and cut down his activity after that passed. I wouldn’t forget about him just yet.

Yeroc: You don’t seem too shabby, please post more.

Matunas: He just got in and he seems like a pretty reasonable guy. I’m looking forward too seeing more from you.

“Safe”:

Mediocre: He has been the voice of reason since the very beginning and is probably one of the best players on the Town’s side. Nothing he has done stands out as suspicious and I trust him. I wish more people would actually listen to what he says instead of going after their female intuition. I hope he goes on the offensive more when the time is there.

KevinM: The chance that he’s Mafia is extremely low. He saved my life earlier, and although it could have been a smart (and dangerous) move to solidify his own position, I highly doubt that. Trust him.

Matt:

Matt: He gets his own category for being so hard to read. He unvoted me and all of his posts that weren’t a joke seemed very reasonable. His vote for AltF4 is a bit peculiar, because he doesn’t have much reason to do so (role restrictions? hm). Of course, AltF4 nor anyone else doesn’t even bother to question that. Not voting me in the end makes him seem more trustworthy, but it was pretty clear by then that I wasn’t going to live. I trust him though, at least for now.

Regardless, none of this conclusively indicates that he is mafia. In fact, I would be very hesitant to place the 6th ****ing vote on him. If he turned out to be town (which is a very real possibility), it would be even worse.

Mic, on the other hand, has one thing that makes him suspicious, at least to me. Like me, he is new to these games. Yet he continually brings up the fact that he is new and/or inexperienced and/or not good at this game as an excuse for his actions. Think about it; it is a pretty good cover. Every time you make a mistake, point to your inexperience. Like Mediocre said:

I can't know whether this was because he was new to the game or because he was mafia...

It may indeed be that Mic is not mafia and that all his actions can be attributed to inexperience. On the other hand, it is equally plausible that his 'inexperience' excuse is a cover. Either way, Mic seems more suspicious to me than Marc. Marc, though at times too aggressive, has been contributing and does not seem as suspicious as Mic.

I also realize the implications of my vote; if I am wrong, it could reflect poorly on me as the last voter. But we have not had a single lynch yet. At this rate, we will continue to be picked off by the mafia, unless we do something. I know I could vote for someone who does not have any votes, someone who I know will not be lynched today. But I think that would do a disservice to the town. I owe it to the town to try and see that we make some progress.

As a result,

Vote: Mic_128

As the day progresses to its end, the murmurs of the group begin to take a violent turn.

"We have to lynch someone!"

"Yeah, the last two days we didn't do anything!"

"What about Marc?"

"What about Marc?"

"What about Matt?"

"What about Matt?"

"What about the FRESHMAN!!"

The crowd erupts into a roar as everyone steps away from Mic_128, who almost seems to wet his comfy and easy to wear shorts.

"FRESHMAN! FRESHMAN!"

"FRESH MEAT, SON!"

"REAL TALK, SHAWTY! TOUGH DOLPHINS NI99A, THATS LIFE!" Matt shouts.

Everyone stares at Matt.

"er... FRESHMAN!"

The principal grabs Mic_128, bends him over his knee, and pulls down his shorts. Everyone lines up in single file and proceeds to beat his *** with a wooden initiation paddle until he DIES.

Mic_128(The Youngster), vanilla townie, has been lynched!

Day 3 ends! It is now Night 3!
All night actions are due in 48 hours, or Tuesday, October 07, Noon EST.

 

[Mic_128]

*Runs crying from the room*

I hope you all diiiiiiiiiiiie!


Heh, well not really. I'm freeeeeeeeeeee!

 

[Mini Mic]

I'm here to avenge the paddling of my father.

 

[Tom]

Everyone has changed out of their gym clothes and piles into the film room for Fourth Period drama class. As they walk in, they find Matt center stage playing with some of the props.

"To be, or not to be?" he muses as he plays with a plaster skull. "Hey Principal, think fast!"

Matt throws the skull straight at the seemingly unsuspecting Principal.

He quickly turns around and shouts "TA-DAA!" All the spotlights shine on the principal. He is decked out in complete Chicago Cubs baseball attire. He SMACKS the skull straight back at Matt. The skull flies back with ridiculous speed and knocks Matt's head clean off of his shoulders in a show of blood and gore.

"Ha ha ha!! Now that's funny." says the Principal, as he signs autographs.

Matt(The Class Clown), vanilla townie, has died a bloody death.

I will miss his jokes. I really will.

Night 3 ends!

Day 4 begins!

With 10 alive, it takes a majority of 5 to lynch!
A deadline has been set for Monday, October 13th, Noon EST.
Everyone must vote by the deadline, per the new rule set on Day 3.

 

[Marc]

Wow, I really didn't expect Mic to be innocent. Makes me wonder why he didn't do much to defend himself, yet clearly wanted to live until some point. Inexperience, I guess. Matt was really stepping it up lately, although he was fairly suspicious. Too bad they took him out.

This makes things really hard, considering everyone voted for either me or Mic. I'm guessing there's at least one Mafia in each group of voters. I'm still suspecting Eor a lot, who almost got me killed twice.

 

[Mic_128]

Wow, I really didn't expect Mic to be innocent. Makes me wonder why he didn't do much to defend himself, yet clearly wanted to live until some point. Inexperience, I guess.

I gave up defending myself, explaining I was knew after everyone kept saying "it could be because he's new, buuuuuuuut"


Uh...I mean....*decomposes*

 

[Virgilijus]

It's OK, Mic...Scav and I are playing Battleship; care to join?

 

[Xsyven]

omg, zombies. D:

 

[GoldShadow]

Well this is an interesting turn of events. Now that Matt is gone, I have no jokes to cheer me up during the day. Thanks a lot, mafia.

 

[Xsyven]

I'm still hanging on to my original vote.

Vote: Marc

It may be due to the fact that English is his second language, but as GoldShadow put it, it seems like he's trying too hard to appear town. As I said before, I don't FIRMLY believe Marc is mafia-- but as for now, I need someone to point a finger at because of the deadline. (I really don't wanna be the fifth person if he turns out to be town .) I'm gonna reread some of the last few pages to see if anything else catches my eye.

 

[Crimson King]

Wow, I really didn't expect Mic to be innocent. Makes me wonder why he didn't do much to defend himself, yet clearly wanted to live until some point. Inexperience, I guess. Matt was really stepping it up lately, although he was fairly suspicious. Too bad they took him out.

This did it for me. He basically blamed Mic for dying on his own, the proceeded to blame Matt for getting killed. And he seemed REALLY confident that Mic was Mafia, when I for sure never got that. Either he's mafia and duping us, or just really hurting votes by drawing them to clearly innocent people.

Vote: Marc

 

[Eor]

Same issues, I'm really surprised the vote got changed so quickly

Vote: Marc

 

[Matunas]

Wow. So things really aren't looking so hot at the moment. Votes are piling up on Marc fast already and we're barely into day 4. Two townies dead with what seems like very little info. *sigh*

Marc, yet again you are the target of suspicion. At this point I'd like to see if we can get some more out of the day then a quick vote. I'm not sure where your allegiance lies. Just that I'd like to have more info then an immediate lynch.

And I enjoyed Matt's jokes.

 

[Mediocre]

I still don't understand why people are so bent on killing of Marc, so I'm going to sit out of this bandwagon.

At any rate, we ought to let the day play out a bit more before we go and kill someone. It can't hurt us to use the time we're allotted.



Now, as for the other deaths last night. I wasn't terribly keen on lynching Mic, but I definitely thought he was the better of the two options. There's not a lot to look at yet, because he's the first person to be lynched. It's hard to find mafia with this little to go on, but the more lynches we have the easier it'll get.

I'm not sure why the mafia went for Matt, honestly. He was a rather active player, but he wasn't one of the most powerful players in the game. Doesn't entirely make sense to me.

 

[Marc]

I'm still hanging on to my original vote.

Vote: Marc

It may be due to the fact that English is his second language, but as GoldShadow put it, it seems like he's trying too hard to appear town.

(I really don't wanna be the fifth person if he turns out to be town .) I'm gonna reread some of the last few pages to see if anything else catches my eye.

Wait, you vote me first so you're not the last person in case of a bandwagon? What kind of a reason is that? It's not like the deadline is even remotely close. -_-

This did it for me. He basically blamed Mic for dying on his own, the proceeded to blame Matt for getting killed. And he seemed REALLY confident that Mic was Mafia, when I for sure never got that. Either he's mafia and duping us, or just really hurting votes by drawing them to clearly innocent people.

I blame Mic for not doing a better job of defending himself. I don't blame Matt for getting killed, how the hell do you get that idea? How can I blame someone who gets offed through a night kill? I suspected Mic from the start, but never did I say people should jump on a bandwagon or whatever. I also think I had a pretty strong case against him, much stronger than your "hunches" etc against me. Also note I wanted to have a lynch earlier, so we wouldn't have to deal with mistakes like this on the third day.

Same issues, I'm really surprised the vote got changed so quickly

Vote: Marc

You sure are laying low since I pointed out you almost got me killed twice. Strike three, eh.

Marc, yet again you are the target of suspicion. At this point I'd like to see if we can get some more out of the day then a quick vote. I'm not sure where your allegiance lies. Just that I'd like to have more info then an immediate lynch.

You can ask me whatever you want. I'm a bit surprised I made it through yesterday's lynch, but things are looking even worse today.

I'm off to university. If two more people vote for me and I'm dead when I come back, look at the first three people who voted for me today, especially Eor. I suspect Crimson King the least of the three, because he just twists and misinterprets my words, he doesn't seem to be trying very hard.

 

[Xsyven]

Wait, you vote me first so you're not the last person in case of a bandwagon? What kind of a reason is that? It's not like the deadline is even remotely close. -_-

I voted for you yesterday, and I'm stickin' with it. The fact that I'm voting for you now doesn't really make a difference now, does it? Just because two other people are dead, doesn't mean you shouldn't be suspected anymore.

Here's what I think. I've been saying "because I feel like it" because all the reasons are so miniscule. But what else do I have to work off of?

Well, here' what I think. First and foremost, you're extremely inconsistent. You trust some people, then you don't the next day. You also try too hard to look good. Like, to me, you sound like: "WHY YES, EVERYONE. MIC IS MAFIA >_> I WILL GET THESE MAFIA SCUM." Kind of like when cartoon characters pretend to act, but end up talking loud and unnatural. You just ... stick out.

No one else sticks out to me. (At least, not too much.) And sure, you're sticking out to do good, you really are-- but so is everybody else. And out of everyone out there, I just buy your stories the least.

Nothing more, nothing less. And it really doesn't seem like I'm alone here.

 

[Xsyven]

I just realized that I didn't actually respond to what you actually said.

In response to that, I thought my actual reasonings (above) were too small... but I figure I'd might as well be honest, so I don't seem too gung ho.

Who do I trust one day and not the next? I think I've been pretty consistent so far, but with new developments new insights emerge. I don't jump on bandwagons, I don't (intend to) create them.

For example, I really trust Mediocre, but I find it strange he hasn't been killed yet. This isn't enough to suspect him, but I'm keeping an eye on him. Something might pop up later that adds to this. I'll seem pretty inconsistent if I "suddenly" suspect him then, but it's a possibility.
