I may as well claim. I didn't really want nor really felt the need cause I was hoping town would trust my judgment and reasons for my actions.
I am Hornet Man, and I'm the real Watcher.
Every night, I send one of my bees to a target I choose and they hover over their head. They watch and see who visits them and then report back to me the news. I'll be able to see who they visit by their name.
N0: I chose randomly who to watch, since I really had no idea who was gonna get attacked. I chose Masterwarlord/Iggy. Xsyven/Marshy visited him only.
I was sure to pay attention to both Iggy and Marshy on D1 to notice any type of unusual reaction (maybe similar to Macman's capital letters). Sadly, neither really showed anything helpful, however there was something Iggy said that had me intrigued
Also, there was one last thing that I wanted to clear with Scav before posting about it, since Macman needed to find out what he could as well; I was the target of a night action as well, and I think it's one town should probably be aware of. I was hit by a flying robot during night 0, and because of this I can't vote today. So, I've been voteblocked, if I am lynched toDay still, just make sure that you know that someone getting voteblocked is a possiblity.
I was VERY unsure if there was flavor in my visit to him (cause from the sound of it, my bees are considered a 'flying robot'). If that wasn't the case, I was gonna consider Marshy to be 'Beet' (Mega Man's flying birdy sidekick) and had the power to voteblock people. It seemed to make sense.
N1: I chose Mentos man cause he seemed both townie and was a possible kill choice. No one visited him.
Unfortunatly, they went with the more obvious kill and went for Omni. I COULD've chose Omni, but again...I felt that was too obvious for Mafia to do. I was very wrong =/. They must've thought that watcher was 'highly unlikely' cause they killed off the tracker.
on D2, when Wiki was voteblocked, I asked him if he was hit with a flying robot
Yes, a flying robot hit me.
This confirmed to me that Marshy was indeed the voteblocker.
N2: Next I chose Wiki. I think I went with more of my gut feeling then deduction skills/predicting who would be the night play. No one visited him.
D3, I felt it was time to maybe push the mass nameclaim. Seemed more benefical then it being done on D4. Plus, I really wanted to try out this special nameclaim idea I thought up since D1.
I thought about trying to make people claim in a...'marco polo' style (guess that's the best way to explain it). First, I would say a element (like, let's say I say...fire). and then the group of people would either pass or claim their element (EE claiming Heat Man). Then I say Ice...water...so forth and so forth, putting out the more obvious elements first then leaving a few of the mix last (In every Mega Man game, there is always a fire, electric, and either a water or ice robot master with a mix of a few other lesser known ones). Yeah, this sounded purely flavor, but at the same time, it seemed to work in my eyes. It looked like it could help spot out mafias a bit easier in a game like this.
In all honestly, I did try the 'weakness' bit thing, but soon realized it didn't work. Hornet Man is weak to fire, which was the same element Search Man was. This left at a dead end. I tried to do the opposite way and looked for anything that was a weakness to my power.
It was splash woman...and it also left a dead end =/
ARGH! I just realized something! Each Mega Man boss has a weakness to a certain weapon. Search Man's weakness was the flame sword, or in other words a fire attack. So with that info, we now know that one of us is a fire character, which also means that there is most likely a water character to beat the flame character. This game is built exactly like a mega man game! Why didn't I realize this sooner?
I'm guessing that it's something like this:
Search Man (You gain a tracking missile in the game, so one of the characters in this game must have a weakness to that weapon)
Flame-related character (Search Man's weak to the flame sword, so we know that there has to be a fire character and most likely has a weakness towards water)
Water-related character (Fire character's weakness probably and probably has a weakness to electricity)
Electricity-related character (Water character's weakness)
Bomb-related character (A character who uses bombs like Grenade Man, Napalm Man, etc. I listed the bomb dude here from assuming that Iggy really is Grenade Man)
Person weak against Search Man's weapon
I know that it's incomplete, but I just wanted to do a quick little example (I think I needed to list one or two more people, then there's megamafia plus indy).
While the game may be built in the usual Mega Man way, I don't think it's built the same way you're picturing it, Smashman. Also, I want to try and leave Robot Master's name to a minimum so as to avoid the Mafia possibly taking a fake claim. I want to say a bit more, but again, I don't want to run the risk of giving Mafia's any ideas
and while we're still near the deadline. Unvote Vote: Iggy
This is why I was in total disagreement with the flavors Smashman presented. My nameclaim idea may sound like it was made with flavor intentions, but it really wasn't.
Anyway...
D3 went on. Didn't like Wiki's threat and immediatly jumped in to stop it, calling his bluff (cause I didn't think he was neither a bulletproof nor a survivor like EE spoke before). When Chaco died, I was pretty **** surprised he was actually voteblocker.
This led me to believe I can only see the people themselves visiting. I'm guessing, since it's gutsman, must've chunk a rock towards Iggy and Wiki on D1 and D2 or he may have stomped the ground (but then that'd conflict with Search Man's tracking ability to see the weapons...at least, I'm assuming that's how Search Man's power work if he were still alive).
I saw EE claim watcher and said he got Macman's back. That lead me to scum No. 1
N3:At the time, I was still in debate to really believe Macman's claim. However, I didn't want to risk the fact of that, so I watched him. I saw EE visited him.
EE then explains his Night watches while Macman confirms the N0 visit. Scum no. 2
THIS is why I wanted to know the visits so badly, Macman. THIS is why I'm voting for EE. Me voting so early, while not waiting for others to claim a 3 Maf Vs 3 Townies and a DV should've been the defitnition of me secretly CCing and putting BS to what EE said.
layer' and the person 'dissipears' for the entire day, not being able to vote or contribute to the group (Or maybe he's ban from DG and can't see the forum till the next Day). Then again, Scav doesn't like anything that promotes inactivity of the sort, so really your guess is as good as mine.
