Well I think IHMN is right to call for a full rolecall, I think we lost at least one possibly two mafia during the night cycle there, potentially leaving 1-2 mafia and the SK. I think we've a good chance of winning with a rolecall.
One thing I will say is that I don't see why Greed is higher on your lists than say RPGDEMON. He also hit six votes yesterday before we all switched to greed suddenly.

Following in Kareshs footsteps. I personally think RPGdemon is more likely to be mafia/SK than greed, I'm also not feeling to great about how every one is so trusting of IHMN. There is nothing stopping him from being mafia. At least with Gregness and Aldurin we have direct or indirect evidence that they are townies.

I never said I completely trusted IHMN. In fact, I've said the opposite a few times in days past. Double In fact, he's been the one pushing for a role call but then actually failed to claim a role. He character claimed as Derpy Hooves, but didn't specify a role to go with it.
More than a touch suspicious.

Not comfortable with how hard IHMN is pushing greed considering the only scum tell is lack of activity.
So, I'm on midterm break and finally have some time to post here. That will last about a week until I go back to school.
Looks like the night's activities were pretty interesting. Sucks that we lost the Vig, but I'm willing to bet that at least one of the other two night targets was mafia. We might have even hit a killing role (SK/Mafia killer). I guess we'll find out next Night.
Either way, I'm going to go back and re-read what's happened so far.

Given the flavor text for the SK kills, i'm pretty much certain we haven't got the SK as it's going to pop as a cockatrice i'm pretty sure. I don't know that the Mafia would get a kill role seems a bit strong if they did.

Mafia get a night kill outside of a specific role, if they have a role that kills it's usually a one shot ability on top of their ability to kill at night via vote. Think of their night kill as an inherent ability of their faction like the towns ability to day kill via lynch.
I think we took down one mafia at least i'm hoping it's two but I don't think we are that lucky. going to try and pin down some players I feel are scummy, but I think RPGdemon is top of my list.

I was doubting my data - I thought Godfathers turned up as Town on investigations, although you just came up as "Mafia Don" rather than Godfather. Since you haven't claimed you're a Miller though... time for a roleclaim since I was probably going to die tonight by random chance anyway.
I'm Twilight Sparkle, Element of Honesty.
I'm the cop.
3 nights, 3 investigations, none of this "derp derp night 0 passive investigation" rubbish that Nikose was spouting. At least he wasn't a Jester in the end.
Night 1: I investigated Sifright. He's Doctor Whooves, the Doctor, town-aligned. By extension that confirms Karesh is Town, too.
Night 2: I investigated greed. He's Scum. More specifically, he's called Daisy and is currently being possessed by a star, in allegiance with Nightmare Moon, as Nikose was.
Night 3: I investigated Oron. I didn't get his name in the message (literally just "flavor text flavor text flavor text"), but he turned up as Nightmare Moon, Mafia Don.
You could have said you were Miller, bro. But you didn't.
So, while the votetrain on greed is well and good, would taking the Don out provide an additional benefit?

Whoa, shocking developments.
First of all, you're an idiot Sifright, don't try to get yourself lynched when you're the doctor.
Second, this is very useful information we could use from the investigations.
Third, it just occurred to me that the doctor voting for himself is very odd. So this my final theory is that the remaining mafia may very well be RO, Sifright and Karesh. Sifright was daring people to vote him out to prove Karesh as the bulletproof, gutsy move but stupid if you're a doctor. That would shake suspicion off of them. Then later RO could claim to be the cop (especially if they offed the actual cop) in order to fully support Sifright's claim and then brand Oron and greed as definite scum (not too hard since we've been suspecting greed) with their inactivity working in the advantage of the claim.
What I'm saying is that I'm very cautious of this massive claim, partially because the mafia leader would probably have an ability to make himself show up as "innocent".
Aldurin
10-15-2011, 05:25 PM
Also, Sifright agreeing to vote Oron and supporting the idea that the mafia leader isn't unscannable makes this even more suspicious for me.
Revising Ocelot
10-15-2011, 05:26 PM
Sifright already said he wasn't a proper doctor right from the start.
Obviously if there actually is a working doctor still it'd be nice if could be saved tonight, but I doubt it.
Sifright
10-15-2011, 05:27 PM
Also, I think the mafia were the nightmarish mare that visited Zacora, then got chased away.
Zacora seems like she was a bulletproof role, but then got killed off because of a second attack, which is exactly how my bulletproof role worked last game. It even implied that she wouldn't have been killed by the SK, had she not been so distracted, since she would have been able to will herself back from stone.
I don't know how likely it is that we have two bulletproofs, but having one who has unlimited immunity to everything, and one who has only a single kill block doesn't seem right. I'm really suspicious of Karesh right now.
based on this I think Rpgdemon is the SK, so i'm undecided on whether we should kill RPGDEMON now and remove a kill each night or go ahead and lynch Oron. Which presumably doesn't change the state of the game.
Gregness could you roleblock RPGdemon and test it out during the night? That way he loses the ability to SK kill during the night if it's him. I know people are saying "Oh but the SK just wont kill" Well if the SK does that it's fine because we have a second mafia player to target afterwards.
Edit: and the SK will start targeting townies now that the mafia are in such a perilous state, as the SK can't afford to not kill people role blocking RPGdemon publicly won't be a bad idea.

I'm not the ACTUAL town doctor i'm just titled the doctor as in 'The doctor' from doctor who. The pony fandom turned this one characters appeareance into a giant doctor who reference, See youtube embed below
U3qS0odekuU
Also Aldurin for the purposes of alleviating your concern.
I'm the town vanilla doctor, I don't have any powers basically I'm supposed to be senile according to my role and the only person i could remember was karesh as fluttershy
Edit persumably the only townies with powers will be the ones are elements of harmony.
Well I presumed I was going to be mod killed, and I was going to quit because one of the reasons i don't normally partake in mafia games is because how easy it for things to be taken to far from insinuations in the game to be taken personally.
Out of interest what other things aren't adding up prehaps I can help explain what they are, if you are genuinely town discussing things with me so that I can try and explain my position should logically be exactly what you want as lynching a townie even when it's a vanilla role now they my information is out there is pretty harmful.
Full Role name is "Doctor Whooves, The Doctor, town-aligned" Also i've been alive 900 years apparently.

Gregness roleblock RPGdemon this night cycle
Going to bed.
As there is a chance the day could end before I wake up
Basically roleblocking rpgdemon with us knowing ahead of time that your doing it gives evidence of whether he is the sk for us if you are mafia killed during the night. Also the SK is very very unlikely to not kill during the night just to frame a player.
Hawk the Vig still killed someone, he just got killed afterwards.
Welp
I was doubting my data - I thought Godfathers turned up as Town on investigations, although you just came up as "Mafia Don" rather than Godfather. Since you haven't claimed you're a Miller though... time for a roleclaim since I was probably going to die tonight by random chance anyway.
I'm Twilight Sparkle, Element of Honesty.
I'm the cop.
3 nights, 3 investigations, none of this "derp derp night 0 passive investigation" rubbish that Nikose was spouting. At least he wasn't a Jester in the end.
Night 1: I investigated Sifright. He's Doctor Whooves, the Doctor, town-aligned. By extension that confirms Karesh is Town, too.
Night 2: I investigated greed. He's Scum. More specifically, he's called Daisy and is currently being possessed by a star, in allegiance with Nightmare Moon, as Nikose was.
Night 3: I investigated Oron. I didn't get his name in the message (literally just "flavor text flavor text flavor text"), but he turned up as Nightmare Moon, Mafia Don.
You could have said you were Miller, bro. But you didn't.
So, while the votetrain on greed is well and good, would taking the Don out provide an additional benefit?
Can't say I believe you. I only said I was Town, not that I was Vanilla (Townie means Town to me, so I say one or the other to mean Town-aligned).
My role is actually the Watcher. Fenris' flavor text indicated that I am the teacher who mentors and watches over her students, such as the Cutie Mark Crusaders. Since the incidents began to occur a few days ago, my concern for the other members of town grew and I would watch out at Night in case anything happened. I can target one player at night to see whoever else targets them.
Night 1 - Nikose - Nobody targeted him that night.
Didn't know who to scan so early, so I went for a random target. Nothing happened that night.
Night 2 - Fawfulcopter - Hawk targeted him.
People were starting to consider targeting inactives. I chose between Fawful and Julford, going with Fawful, and I saw Hawk, Rainbow Dash, remove him from the game. Obviously, I wasn't going to post, "Hey, guys! Hawk's the Vig!" without any heavy suspicion placed on him. Then the mafia/SK removed him before he ever needed to roleclaim.
Night 3 - Gregness
I figured Greg wasn't going to make it through the night with his roleclaim, so I targeted him in hopes of finding scum. I guessed wrong, though, and instead Hawk, Bard, and Ryanderman were targeted.
I've been inactive lately because I had exams literally every week and piles of homework on top of that. I checked in every couple of days to read up a bit on what's been going on and whether it was Day or Night for me to submit my role. Aside from that, I've been out.
So, I don't know how you figure I'm Nightmare Moon, RO. You could be making that up to get someone you figured to be Town out of the game to help level the balance between Townies and Scum.
Aldurin
10-15-2011, 06:42 PM
I don't like your claim Oron, since most of that stuff can be made without a third party supporting or rejecting that claim.
The night actions I feel are very iffy since he could have easily just put two non-targeted members up for listing and then look back at the kill chart and use it to make a night action that returned information.
Saying that, I will hold both you and Revolving Ocelot with equal suspicion, since your claim looks weak but then RO's claim is still iffy, even with Sifright's backing.
Well, obviously there isn't much to support me with. My support died when Hawk went out overnight, because I was going to add to his claim as Vig if anybody ever voted for him and he had to defend himself.
However, now that I look at it, RO's basically pulled the vote off of greed. It seemed odd to me that he said "You could have said you were Miller," since I don't recall Millers showing up as a Mafia Don. That's pretty high profile. I'm used to them just showing up as Mafiate. But now I think he's just calling me out with that crazy claim to distract everybody else from the bandwagon that was forming, so I really question his alignment.

A roleclaim is exactly that - what role you are. So you've just pulled all this out of thin air when you should have said all of this in your first post as part of your actual roleclaim. Just saying "I'm town, hurrrr" is not a roleclaim as that's the default persona anyone posts with.
And you're saying I'm "pulling the vote of Greed" when I SHOWED him to be Mafia as well. No, just no. OTHERWISE I'D HAVE SAID HE WAS TOWN. Hell, I was the person who first started trying to get a vote on him, before and after my Night 2 investigation. He still should be lynched, but I'm thinking going after you first would be a better idea.
And don't Millers display as incriminating a status as possible? Displaying as the leader or SK shouldn't be out of the realm of possibility.
Revising Ocelot

Further explanation: I was swapped in on Night 1, so I couldn't really comment on Day 1 actions and such. Sifright was suspicious as hell and had called to be investigated, with the weird assumption that the Cop would immediately out himself to reveal his guilt/innocence. So I took the bait, but didn't act on it. I did defend Sif for every strange moment he had, especially his weird suicide phase. I'd have supported his suicide otherwise.
I decided to do a bit of research on what to do as Cop during Day 2, since I've only played 1/3rd of a Mafia game before. And oh hey, lookie what the Wiki says:
Miller - A Town role that investigates as Guilty (or whatever would be most incriminating).
That's why seeing "Mafia Don" made me think of that. But your generic claim put rest to that, so I outed myself.
Wiki also says:
It is generally best to investigate players you have null reads on, and let the Day game sort out the others.
So I have a look, and who's actually popping on the forums most but posting the least? greed. I call this out, then do an investigation over Night 2 as I was mostly ignored. Hey look, mafia! I start pressing harder for a greed lynch on Day 3. It's picked up by some people but Nikose starts seriously derping out. I had decided not to investigate Nikose as his was displaying his abnormality far too obviously. So I go to what I have null leads on - RPG and Ryander had posted fairly frequently on Day 3, so I didn't choose them. Fawful was a red flag, but then again his only ever post on the forums was his signup post for this game, and he was killed anyway. Julford hadn't been on since August so revealing his role wouldn't achieve anything as he wasn't doing anything. So that left Oron for my Night 3 investigation.
I figure getting rid of 2 Mafia for 1 Town is a decent compromise. You treat a Cop roleclaim by killing one of his targets, and that'll prove he's right if they turn up guilty. As would being killed by a Night action. If he's not killed, that'll be Mafia trying to pass him off as a fake - which is really not an option now for Mafia, is it? A Cop surviving into endgame is not a risk you can afford.
In summary, Oron's been outed as a special role. He turns up Guilty with a lynch, all's good. If he turns up Innocent, you've exposed a Mafiate member posing a Cop.

Well, looks like someone else decided to shake things up since I did it yesterday.
I'll take some time tomorrow to put up a more detailed analysis.
For now, I'd like to put forward a third option. Since IHMN, Oron, and RO all implicate greed it might be wiser to take the easy shot at Greed which would give us time to sort out the roleclaim issue between Oron and RO.
Of course, that's the safer route I think. There is something to be said for lynching Oron now since for better or worse we'd end up with more information.
Something to stew on tonight.

My backing up of Revolving Ocelot technically doesn't mean anything. At least with me he hasn't put anything on to the board that I haven't already said. That said no one is counter claiming as PO and the way to test a PO is to kill one of the targets he lists if we don't have a counter claim. If he is shown to be lying we remove him from the game the next day cycle.
Ravashak
10-16-2011, 05:01 AM
So, I've read up on the events so far. I'd prefer to lynch Oron tonight, in order to check RO's reliability. This way, if Oron turns out scum, it's good and we can use RO as a trusted source (for as long as he survives xP). If he turns out to be a Miller or plain townie, we can set sights on RO afterwards (though we should first take greed then to clean up loose ends, imo).
Revising Ocelot
10-16-2011, 06:53 AM
The only people who could feasibly claim as PO now are RPG and Julford/Ravashak - without looking like they're suddenly making it up as Oron is doing.
RPG says he's not posting over this weekend so it's pointless to attempt to grill him right now, and Ravashak... well, we have nothing to go on. It'd be impossible for Rava to have any investigations done as He's not been in the game for all three nights, so there'd be no evidence he could provide for a counter-claim.

I was AFK, and I am back now!
And I have not roleclaimed prior to this moment, despite accusations against me, because my roleclaim shall be a shocking revelation to all! (Or not. I dunno.)
I am The Cockatrice, Wild Creature, Self/Town-aligned.
The reason that I've been so adamant on getting the verification of Karesh's role is because of how my role works. I am, by default, self aligned, but I am given the option each night of, instead of a kill, making an approach with my eyes closed, with the intent to find somepony who will take me in. (I presumed Fluttershy). If I approach the wrong pony, I die, since I'll not be able to stone them with my eyes closed.
I started out playing as Self aligned, because, well, I had no idea who the Fluttershy player could take in the Cockatrice could possibly be. When Sif did his whole "This is Fluttershy!" thing, it made sense to me in a game balance way. Fenris ensures that at least one other player knows who Fluttershy is, so that there's an increased likelihood that I could find Fluttershy. The only problem is, I have no idea if it was just dumb luck that they chose Fluttershy. If I make an approach without verification, I'm assuming that:
A) Fluttershy is the right pony to approach (Makes sense in terms of flavor, Fluttershy cowwed the Cockatrice in the show. But at the same time, the blindness doesn't make sense, since Fluttershy stared it down to cow it. Might just be a balance thing)
And B) Karesh is actually Fluttershy.
If I do make an approach and get it right, I flip townie, and become another Vig. I've been playing these past few nights as if I were a Vig, trying to take out whoever seems scummy. That's the other reason I didn't want to roleclaim, since now our "second" Vig has been exposed, and I'll likely be nightkilled by scum. If a doctor exists, please protect me.
What I've been planning on for tonight is killing whoever seems scummy/wasn't lynched today. It seems it's between Greed and Oron, and I'll hit the other person, as verification of my claim as Cockatrice at least.

I doubt it. I'm not immune or vulnerable to anything. I simply cannot be targetted by anypony. At all.

Wait a minute then it can't be me/Fluttershy because RPG can't target me in the first place. Unless I'm reading too deeply and it means immunity to the effects of being targeted.

I think it means effects at you can't be targeted, the cockatrice approach to flip town seems like a gray area that favors the targeting bypass.
rpgdemon
10-17-2011, 07:25 PM
Fair enough, but I don't know that you are telling the truth. If you night kill me it still makes Karesh ambiguous if RO isn't the PO.
Edit: Also the mafia will kill either yourself or RO if he is actually the PO your both just as dangerous as each other given your ability to give town an extra kill a day.
If I night kill anyone who I say I won't, go ahead and lynch me.
As a thing that I thought of, if whoever we lynch of the two that RO says are scum flips town, I will go for RO, unless someone can give me good reason not to.
Right now, how I'm treating the situation is acting as Vig, until there are no scum left, and I'll then approach Karesh, or whoever else seems the best possible choice. He makes a good point about being untargettable, since that means that I probably wouldn't be able to approach him, and it would likely be someone else.
I'd suggest that Greg blocks the Don, and if I kill someone who I say I won't, lynch me then, but my views are biased.

Flipping before going for scum doesn't make sense, logistically. It means that we skip a kill on scum, to prove something that doesn't matter. If I spend tonight flipping, and I get killed overnight, I'm town aligned but dead, and no scum were hit. If I spend tonight killing someone who we know to be scum, but don't flip, the scum are hit, but I don't get to be town aligned.
It'll hurt the town if I flip tonight, since we miss out on a hit on scum. The only thing it hurts if I don't flip tonight are my chances at hitting any victory condition, since if I get killed pre-flip, I'll still be self aligned. Whether I flip tonight or tomorrow doesn't make any impact on my actions, since I'm going to be playing for the eventual flip, as there's no way I'll be the last one standing now.

Simple answer to this. If RO turns out to be lying rpgdemon should night kill him. If not Rpgdemon should night kill greed after that we can decide what to do the next day.
Ravashak
10-18-2011, 10:57 AM
This is some theorizing based on the assumption that Oron is in fact the mafia don.
Just curious, but does a role-block on a mafia member stop the kill if there's more than one member (keeping possibilities open)? I'd assume it'd only work if it's the last member and/or the designated killer.
Under this assumption, I think we should roleblock greed and have rpgdemon convert to town this night. The flavor that we'll get should give some info, if the kill was stopped, i'd assume that greed's the last mafia member, who we can then lynch at our leasure the next day. However, if the kill goes through, there's probably still another mafia member hiding.
The other options is that a mafia kill can't be stopped at all, in that case, if rpgdemon decided to kill greed in the night, we'd be at an impasse. At that point we wouldn't be sure whether there's still someone we should lynch, but the game can't be over 'cause there's still a self-aligned character in the game.
So I think rpgdemon should convert to town tonight, that way, we'll have a course of action for tomorrow set already.

I don't think we need to have a no lynch day to achieve that. IHMN seems to want us to lynch oron now, rpgdemon turns himself town tonight and we kill greed tomorrow. This presumes that RO is actually the PO.

There was a huge controversy over whether we should trust RPG to kill a mafiate before he switches to town. Now, on the assumption that the mafia is wiped out (possible but still ambiguous) then I think we should vote "No lynch" for ONE DAY ONLY to give rpgdemon ONE NIGHT to try to convert to town. Should anything other than rpg turning town happen then we should lynch the shit out of him and finish this game.

Last game I had a suspicion I couldn't quite place and never really acted on, so hey I figure I'll go with my gut this game.

The only motivation for him to have killed Greed off himself is one less townie death, which doesn't really make much statistical sense. We'd still win all the same and the dead townies would win all the same.
That being the case, there's ulterior motive.
Aldurin
10-21-2011, 11:41 PM
But the thing is, his actions back up the idea of him being able to turn town, and by wiping out the mafia first before turning town he'd help toward that victory.
All I'm asking is that you give him one more night to live before we try to lynch him.
Also I need RO to report if he got anything that we need to know using his PO scan.

THIS
SHIT
What if the possessed ponies don't know they're possessed until a certain criteria activates?
What if that criteria is the death of Nightmare Moon?
What if... IF One of those possessed creatures wasn't a pony at all, but a cockatrice.
As the last remaining mafiate RPG gains access to their kill as well as his own, he can use that to kill two townies at once. But selectively restrains his SK kill while using the mafia kill to destroy a random townie, probably RO who is the last Pony that could confirm his identity. With the town thoroughly convinced they've already gained victory we move into the next night, with a sudden return of mafia kills. RPG comes forward claiming that he did target me with his other kill, which failed and indicates Fluttershy isn't his target for conversion.
Convinced that RPG is fine to leave alone for now we blindly turn against one another once more, and after a lynch and two town deaths at night, we lose. It's the Persona 4 style of tricking the player into thinking the game is over when it ain't. But I won't fall for that.
I reach out for the truth.

My immunity to night targeting means he has a relatively solid counterpoint in that he can argue that my immunity to all night target effects included the reversal of that targeting onto him.
Aldurin
10-22-2011, 12:11 AM
Karesh, I think your targeting immunity may have an exception for the SK conversion since it is such an unusual even in itself, and to have it approach the only person it can't kill seems proper.
Don't try so hard to justify lynching rpgdemon. The whole theory of him being a dual scum is a stretch if the possession actually works in the way you think it might.
If it makes you feel any better we can have RO scan rpg tonight, that way if he doesn't make the conversion we can see if he really is possessed or not.
The most likely scenario is that rpg wiped out the last mafiate (thus removing the mafia kills completely) and now is hoping that we grant him enough time to let him become town and fully secure the town's victory.
Start thinking with friendship.
rpgdemon
10-22-2011, 12:16 AM
I am both immediately suspicious of people voting for me, and also not at all suspicious of them.
The reason I'm immediately suspicious is because there's no reason to lynch me right now.
The reason that I'm not is because, regardless of whether or not you have a reason, lynching me will end the game with a town win.
The reason that I am suspicious is because if there ISN'T a town win immediately after lynching me (Or right after the night I flip), it gives the people who were all, "KILL RPG!" an alibi. "Oh, I wouldn't have voted to kill him, exposing that there was still a Mafiate left, if I were scum! I just wanted the town to definitely win soon!"

Here's the facts:
1. Town is pretty much guaranteed a win no matter what.
2. It appears our main dilemma is whether we should win through The Magic of Friendship or through simply lynching off the SK.
3. People are still bitter from the SK kills and the general way things went at first.
I personally say that we don't lynch anybody today (unless a final mafiate is identified) so that we can see if the friendship option isn't a lie. If not, then we lose 1 townie and still win.

Speaking of Gregness: unlike Sif, I don't really trust you. You roleblocked Nikose one night, or so you claim, but even before that roleblock most people were convinced Nikose was all kinds of dodgy so that's an effective way for a potential Mafiate to start a votetrain on someone as good as outed, to pass suspicion off of himself.

I roleblocked greed since he was the other mafia candidate and we were giving rpgdemon one night to turn town. Greed got killed by rpg last night and no one asked me about my roleblock so I didn't think it was terribly relevant, sorry.
Though, can we guess that since the mafia hit didn't go through that greed was the last? They usually have to pick a guy to actually execute the hit and if there was more than just greed left it'd be pretty dumb to have him do it since he was already outed.

Ravashak
10-22-2011, 05:48 PM
I think the lack of a mafia last night was telling. It was the last night they could freely kill someone with the knowledge we had at that time (since RO had already confirmed greed as mafia, and after the Oron lynch that was all he had on scum up to that point). Meanwhile, rpgdemon did what he said he would do. Act as a vigilante and take out threats to the town, before switching to town. While I would've preferred to have him flip last night, I don't feel he went against our interests with the petrification.
In short, I'm with Aldurin at this point, and I'd be fine with a no lynch day. This will allow rpgdemon to convert, which would end the game if there's no more mafia. If there's still mafia, though, they will have to act, either through pushing for lynches that are silly (which would expose them) or through night kills, but until there's proof of existence of the mafia, we can just take it easy and not instantly turn on each other and keep a nice numerical advantage for town.

10-23-2011, 02:03 AM
The way I see it, there are three options that make sense for the town to take:
1) Lynch me, see if its game over. If it is, hey, you won!
2) Don't lynch me, and vote no lynch. I'll switch over to town tonight, and then game should be over tomorrow. If I don't switch tonight, take option number one.
3) Don't lynch me, and vote to lynch someone who's suspicious, just in case there are extra mafiates around, and we could hit one for free. I feel like it'd be 1-2 scum left, and the rest townies, if there are any scum, so if we hit a townie now, we'd still have an overwhelming majority, but if we hit scum, we keep from killing me tomorrow, if we don't win, since that wouldn't really accomplish anything. (If you believe me. If you don't, then it establishes that there is in fact still a mafiate at large).
I would almost like to suggest option 3, and hit Sif, just because I want to be super sure that I'll actually get the right pony to go to, to flip town, since if I don't, I completely shot myself in the foot and orchestrated my loss.
If anyone else got anything at all about a pet, or a cockatrice, or whatever, in their flavor, now would be the time to say so. I don't want to lose, by going for the alternate win condition that lets more people win.

I was doubting my data - I thought Godfathers turned up as Town on investigations, although you just came up as "Mafia Don" rather than Godfather. Since you haven't claimed you're a Miller though... time for a roleclaim since I was probably going to die tonight by random chance anyway.
I'm Twilight Sparkle, Element of Honesty.
I'm the cop.
3 nights, 3 investigations, none of this "derp derp night 0 passive investigation" rubbish that Nikose was spouting. At least he wasn't a Jester in the end.
Night 1: I investigated Sifright. He's Doctor Whooves, the Doctor, town-aligned. By extension that confirms Karesh is Town, too.
Night 2: I investigated greed. He's Scum. More specifically, he's called Daisy and is currently being possessed by a star, in allegiance with Nightmare Moon, as Nikose was.
Night 3: I investigated Oron. I didn't get his name in the message (literally just "flavor text flavor text flavor text"), but he turned up as Nightmare Moon, Mafia Don.
You could have said you were Miller, bro. But you didn't.
So, while the votetrain on greed is well and good, would taking the Don out provide an additional benefit?

Na, sadly enough you should have tried to flip town last night, since this bandwagon is not going to end well for you.
Ravashak
10-24-2011, 02:46 AM
Exactly, the problem is proof. We haven't had much additional information about what happens at night to give information. Heck, it could be possible that your method of "flipping to town" is actually the only way to night-kill Karesh.
Besides, if you did try to hit RO last night, there's only about a 50% chance (guessing) of success anyway, the Cutie Mark Crusaders were protecting him (attempted to at least, we're not quite capable and i guess having our third member dead since day one decreased the chance a bit)

It's been proven with Science that Aldurin's ideas are always bad and should be disregarded. No-Lynch is stupid. I suspect one Mafia, possibly two are alive.
So I'm going to
Vote: rpgdemon
And:
FoS: IHateMakingNames
As these are the only leads I personally see, and a lack of information in general. Gregness already got FoS'd by me earlier. One or the other just might be Scum.
By the way, repeating ideas I'd already stated the previous day, guys? *sigh*

We are sitting at 4 votes to lynch Rpgdemon, given the information ravashak has given us I believe RO was saved from the mafia during the night. With this information I believe either Gregness or Ihatemakingnames is mafia. If the game doesn't end with rpgdemons death we should move onto tackling either of those two. RO can try and night investigate again.
Fos:Gregness
Fos:Ihatemakingnames
I have to agree with RO
Ravashak
10-24-2011, 06:27 AM
Do we think Mafia has power roles this game? So far, to me it seems they don't, even the Don was easily recognisable when investigated by the PO.
By extension, unless someone else is going to claim role-blocking, Gregness is town. He role blocked me (well, my predecessor, but let's ignore those irrelevant details), and as Verifiedz showed in post 1263 (http://www.nuklearforums.com/showpost.php?p=1161284&postcount=1263), he got roleblocked. This is evidence of Gregness being what he says he is, a roleblocker, and me and Verifiedz being together as the CMCs, which should clear all 3 of us (and for me personally, RO investigated me).
4. Karesh, known by Sifright => probably town
7. Sifright, investigated by RO => town
9. Verifiedz, guaranteed by Ravashak as CMC => highly likely town
10. Earl, confirmed by killing the bodyguard xP => town
12. Gregness, roleblocking confirmed => town
13. rpgdemon, SK by admission
14. Ravashak, investigated by RO => town
18. Revolving Ocelot, investigations turn out right => town unless awesome puppetmaster
21. IHateMakingNames => Speaking in pictures => expected town
While I think that at this point everyone's town except rpgdemon, I can't rule out the possibility that someone isn't. If that's the case, voting a no lynch today COULD result in two night kills, followed by the SK lynch, and another night kill, cutting the group down to 5 with at least one mafia member. After some thinking, I feel this possibility is just too dangerous to allow. Therefor, I change my previous stance regarding today's lynch.

The crowd ushers rpgdemon, Cockatrice, self-aligned onto the stage where Celestia waited.
"Ah, you must be the one who has been turning my precious little ponies to stone. This sort of behavior is inexcusable!" Celestia cried.
The cockatrice, meanwhile, began cowering.
"For your crimes, I sentence you to the harshest punishment imaginable!" Celestia's horn began to glow.
The cockatrice responded by cowering harder.
The glow Celestia's horn began to brighten. And then it continued to brighten. And then it brightened some more. The glow quickly became too bright to look at directly, much like the sun it was connected to.
"FWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE~!"
The 3 party poppers that had materialized around the cockatrice exploded.
"Gotcha!" Celestia exclaimed. She turned to face the crowd of ponies who were, at this point, dumbfounded.
"My Little Ponies, congratulations!" Celestia announced. Her horn flashed briefly and every pony who had been removed from the town by one way or the other suddenly appeared in the town square. "You have successfully vanquished the Nightmare, her accomplices, and even the additional threats to yourselves through the power of friendship! Well done!"
With that, she left the remarkably confused townsponies to their own devices.

Dear Princess Celestia,
Today, I learned that no matter how bleak it may seem, you might get really lucky and off an entire group of cultists on the first night of a mafia game and 3/5 of the mafia in a single day/night cycle. Also, in the end, friendship can get fucked.

Man, over in the cult we had most of the mafia and some of the power roles pegged (not 100% but we turned out to be pretty right) day 1 but then we all died night 1. I was grabbing Hawk night 1 then Nikose would have been nigth 2 giving us the Vig kill and the mafia by day 2.
Fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk.
Did we ever work out what Snake was? Cause he was tots mental.

2 questions though;
SMB, why did you try and convert me first? There were far better targets than me.
Likewise to mafia, did I do something obvious to get killed on night 3? Cos SMB and Snake I can understand, seeing as they're mafia vets and are pretty good at the game, but I'm not nearly that high a priority, unless you knew something.

Because I had a hunch you had a power role. It was based on your posting patterns day 1, i can't remember exactly what trigged me but I was sure you had to go night 1.
I didn't think you were mafia (I think I had Nikose, Ryanderman, Greed on my speculated mafia list) but there was something funny so I took a shot.
It was either you or snake. Who knows what snake was up to.
And it would have worked too if not for you meddling ponies.
Sifright
10-24-2011, 08:03 AM
You were a low activity poster, pretty much guarantees you to be power role or mafia. New mafia players tend to try the incognito approach when mafia or power rollin and mafia players all know who each other are.
Edit: also totally vindicated I said nikose was mafia from like day 2.
Double edit: Hawk you hit cult on night 1 and mafia on night 3 so thats pretty sweet.

Haha yeah, that was pretty excellent. I only went for Bob based on something Snake said really, about him not wanting to play if he was scum, and because Bob is usually a lot more active. If Bob had been town it also might've come back to haunt Snake a bit and I wanted to see his reaction and how he defended it too, but he never had to. Course the fact that Bob was cult didn't rule out the possibility that Snake was mafia either, so I still couldn't trust him.

See i was quietly thinking that rpgdemon was the SK but as town the SK is like the semi last target to go for. Especially as we had no confirmed mafia kills at that point you pushing an rpgdemon kill outed you hardcore as mafia

Fenris
10-24-2011, 11:14 AM
IHMN is totes MVP.
Everybody roleclaimed their proper roles - Mafia was Bard, Nikose, Greed, Ryanderman, and Oron.
I gave cult the limitation of being unable to recruit mafiates (although they didn't know that), so I gave them two additional cultists. Totally didn't matter, though. They were SMB, Bob, and P_sleazy.
RPG was the SK. He could also not convert to town, and if you guys had voted no lynch, you would have been idiots.
Verifiedz wasn't even trying.
My roles:
The mafia had a special power that they could bring any non-mafiate back from the moon, if all of them were alive. Nikose confided in me that he was trying to get them to lynch Snake just so they could bring him back and confuse errybody. The purpose of this ability was for obfuscation. It was obviously never utilized.
Solid Snake was Zecora, who was NOT a miller, but a witch doctor. She could bring back anybody who was petrified or lost in the everfree forest. Then both happened to him night 2 so he wasn't able to do that, either.
Fun fact, is that I fucked up and accidentally sent RPG after Snake that night due to a pretty egregious typo in my notes. He had actually targetted Nikose that night, but was totes cool with me fucking that up.
The Cutie Mark Crusaders could attempt to mimic investigative, protective, and roleblocking powers each night. They had a chance of failure. 75% success if all 3 were alive (then Bookie got expelled), 50% if 2 were alive (the rest of the game), and 25% if only one remained. Funnily enough, they succeeded in protecting Revolving that last night, but greed 1) targetted Sifright, and 2) was roleblocked anyway.
Fawfulcopter was Pinkie Pie, who had a one-shot ability to cancel all night roles by throwing a huge party. He never did shit with it.
Fluttershy was immune to night roles - had he been investigated, I would have said something like "You don't even trust your good friend Fluttershy?" without giving role information. He was town, regardless.
Also, I had originally planned for the Whooves character to know the identity of a mafiate, but I decided last minute that was OP so I picked a random town-power. I then picked the worst possible town-power.
IHMN rocked the hell out of the Derpy Hooves role. No regrets in assigning that role to him.
Aldurin should never be let near a power role again. After that, the game was pretty much won for the mafia, but dumb luck pretty much fucked them over. The night before, RO successfully pegged greed, then Nikose got lynched, and then Bard and Ryander got hit. That night, RO also successfully pegged Oron, so the entire mafia was either killed or investigated in 36 game hours.
Then RPG roleclaimed cockatrice wtf
Oh, there were absolutely no vanillas in this game. Vanillas are stupid.
Ryanderman
10-24-2011, 11:38 AM
The power to bring people back was cool in concept, but very tough to do anything useful with in execution. We could only bring back people sent to the moon via lynching, excpet Oron, who we could only bring back if he was night killed. And we lost the power once one of us died. First lynched was Bookie, and we obviously couldn't bring him back. Then Geminex, and there was no way we'd want to bring him back. Then Nikose, and we lost the power.
I had a plan to have greed claim PO, out Oron as Nightmare moon, have the town lynch him instead of Nikose, and then bring him back, which would cause the town to waste a lynch, trust greed, and I think could have given us the victory. But then I found out Oron could only be brought back if he was killed at night, and there went that.
Also, I was dumb dumb dumb in pushing an rpgdemon lynch. Don't know what I was thinking.

10-24-2011, 12:00 PM
After Aldurin's power trip I thought we were completely boned.
I'm curious why I wasn't night killed immediately after I roleclaimed in order to shut Nikose down. Are roleblockers just plain not as dangerous/valuable as I thought?
Anyway, this was my first game of mafia and I had a lot more fun than I thought I would. Any suggestions/criticisms of my play?

Hey, I made a mistake, but then I started participating harder to make up for it (sadly enough I did buy rpg's bullshit).

Only one of the Mafia list I didn't really peg was Bard, hence believing there was one left. And Nikose, in the sense that he was so OTT I didn't know what to think. Seriously, what was up with that?
Wonder how things would have turned out if I didn't catch greed and Oron.

Yea, I think had the game played out differently with no bookworm incident, we may have tried a Nikose day 1 lynch given the way he was playing.
IHateMakingNames
10-24-2011, 01:29 PM
Town did not want to win after Day 2. Especially Sifright. I was giving you people that shit on a platter.
Nikose was mafia because he was super sketchy and Gregness role claimed. Ryanderman was mafia because he attempted to stop a lynch on an obvious mafia member. Ryanderman and Bard both were barely active, and every time one posted the other did. Nikose tried to stop a bandwagon lynch on greed, and Bard/Ryanderman were constantly explaining why greed was inactive. Loose assumptions but with deaths and claims we had half the town already revealed. I had no idea about Oron, I thought there were only 4 mafia.
About when Nikose claimed Carrot Top I realized mafia was all background character. Town consisted of the main characters (Main 6, CMC, Zecora) and a few randoms that had already been outed (Mayor, Dr Whooves, Derpy). There was only room for 1 or 2 background vanilla townies, so anyone that claimed a vanilla was very likely mafia. Which is why I kept calling for mass role claims, and I was pretty certain on all the mafia.
I had some outside knowledge since I helped Fenris come up with the roles. But I spoke in pictures so that hardly helped, and I watch the show so it was all deducable. Plus I didn't know if Fenris changed anything.
Wonder how things would have turned out if I didn't catch greed and Oron.
We still should have won since I knew all that but again, town really didn't want to win so they probably would have lynched me or something stupid and lost. Probably lead by Sifright. So stupid.

WALL OF PINK TEXT TIME
(I know you missed this)
IHMN was definitely MVP, but Geminex actually was a fairly close second in my book. For what it's worth, before I died N2, I was 100% certain those two were Town, but they were the only two I had definitive pro-Town hunches over. (Karesh, admittingly, would have totally been pro-Town if Sifright actually played his role well. I'll give Sifright credit for improving as the game went along, but throughout much of D1 and D2 his play was disastrous.)
But yeah I pretty strongly alluded one point at D2 to the fact that I was convinced Gem was Town, didn't have to do the same with IHMN because the limitations on the role ensure the role itself is almost certainly Town. Was shocked to see Earl go after Geminex, partially because Geminex was obv-Town, but also partially because Earl totally could have just announced his role and given Geminex time to defend himself, and partially because I had just asked for a one-day reprieve to state my actual suspicions and defend my record in detail and Earl totally destroyed my chance to do so by ending the Day.
Based on the fact that Earl ended the Day when he did, I was convinced Scum was going to kill me that night and prevent me from articulating my suspicions, which was basically what happened. (Although it may not have actually happened for that reason.)
I'd also like to point out that I made a totally serious post D1 in which I went something like 5 of 7 in calling out anti-town roles. Just sayin'.
Unfortunately, this is kind of a bad game to assess my play properly because neither D1 nor D2, the two days in which I was alive, actually ended with a legitimate lynch. So both days ended with my votes on people I actually didn't want to lynch that Day, because that's just how I play the game. Never give Scum too much ammunition to want you eliminated, that's my philosophy; and when given a strong Power role I almost always try to act scummy enough so that Scum feels comfortable letting me live. Some, albeit not all, of the "WTF are you thinking Snake?" moments were inspired by that exact philosophy. Given my ability to defend myself, as Town I often prefer to act "too ambiguously scummy" as opposed to "too obv-Town" because it's easier for me to defend from lynches than to defend from nightkills. I wanted Scum to mistakenly believe that I was an asset for them to keep around until I laid the gauntlet on them.
All things considered though I'm actually shocked so many other Townies did apparently buy into a "Snake is dangerous scum" narrative. Protip: As scum I would not have dared to prevent an IHMN lynch by giving IHMN the chance to copy-paste an accurate description of his claim; even assuming I correctly deduced the limitation, I totally would have taken advantage of the legitimate excuse of "ANNOYING PONY GIFS!!!" to waste an otherwise productive Townie. I wasn't kidding when I kept noting that.
What else? (Nearly) everyone really was playing a poor game before I showed up and I'm glad I stirred up some activity even if I rankled a few feathers in doing so. Mafia made a clear mistake in actually setting up Nikose to take the fall after eliminating me; a one-to-one tradeoff like that is never an effective Scum strategy. Nik needed to find ways to support my lynch that didn't leave him as such an obvious target for PO / Vig / lynch attention the minute I flipped. Nik also hurt Mafia somewhat by claiming that I had to be the SK, which ultimately led him to claiming a ludicrous pseudo-inaccurate PO role to justify his intuition. Problem there was in doing so he also was indirectly making the case that I couldn't be Mafia, which meant he introduced "pro-Town" evidence beneficial to me while simultaneously gunning after me. Another Protip: In a game this large, Town should never deliberately attempt to lynch the SK as early as D2 because the SK still has a high chance of hitting Cult or Mafia and the Mafia is the far greater threat. If you happen to lynch the SK by chance while hunting anti-Town Mafiates that's fine, but if you narrow someone down to "either SK or Town, but definitely not Mafia," you do not lynch that guy D2.
Or better yet, Mafia, if you set it up so that you're strongly pushing for my lynch and you're articulating a case that I'm scum? Don't nightkill me. The minute you do, everyone who strongly pushed my lynch or indirectly supported its underlying thesis becomes a suspect. Let Town waste a lynch on me, and in the interim keep articulating that my survival despite the odds and despite my activity is further evidence that I'm Scum. If anything, you really should use your Nightkills to PO-hunt and/or Vig-hunt.
And people who used the Bookie thing against me in some meta argument that I pushed for D1 to end the way it did because I was scum are stupid and deserve to be called out as stupid. I'd have made the exact same argument whether Scum or Town, because as someone who's hosted Mafia games before and is a vet I'm capable of detaching myself and actually discussing host decisions impartially.
Closing Thoughts: All in all I thought this game was frankly balanced in Town's favor because of the lack of Town 'Nillas. 'Nillas tend to exist in games for a reason, despite how legitimately 'boring' they are; giving every Townie a Power role creates balancing issues. Yeah, it's true that we got lucky in killing off the entire Cult N1, but it's equally true that Scum actually lucked out in killing the Reviver for reasons entirely independent of any knowledge of his role N2. Even if Scum had killed a Townie instead of a Cultist N1, I would have been able to revive him N2 unless I was Roleblocked, which only further displays a power imbalance. Then there's Sifright's role knowing who Fluttershy was, leading to the exact issues I presented in my Karesh / Sifright summary around D1 or so; giving Sifright and Karesh the ability to be confirmed together by the PO N1 is dangerous, particularly when Karesh can't be night-targeted and when killing Sifright would confirm Karesh to Town, who the Mafia could then no longer lynch or kill.
Add to that the fact that if Earl's role went to a more competent Townie it would have led to an immediate Dayvig kill of an anti-Town role, add to that the fact that if Bookie hadn't "cheated" we might have actually lynched an anti-town role D1, and add to that the existence of a Vig with multiple night shots (if not unlimited nightshots) and an SK who's going to hit Mafiates with as much impunity as Townies, and Scum needed tons of power roles themselves to even remain remotely competitive.
All in all, it's telling that Scum lost this game so easily despite the fact that most Townies played a rather poor game. I don't blame Scum for losing this because I'm not convinced the Mafia had the slightest of chances from the get-go, the number of early mistakes Town made just gave them hope.
EDIT: Also, it thoroughly saddens me that Fenris never repped me despite all my activity in this game. Fenris Y U NO LIEK ME

Hey, you revealed oron and greed. Lucky, maybe, but you totes saved the day.
Also, reading Snake's post, it does seem like the game was kinda skewed in favor of town, but I'd kinda like to think that was balanced by the town's lack of experience.
To expand on that, I think it's great that Fenris cut out the vanilla roles, cause giving everyone something to do is that much more interesting, but if game balance was a problem again in the future, I think some roles could be more like IHMN's: Detrimental.
Still interesting, certainly, adding a bit of variety, but rather than overpowering the town, you can weaken some townies to balance out the extra power of others.

It was town favor by roles, but the lack of alignment/role reveals on night kills hurts the town. Well, in theory, since the mafia were background characters and ponies with lines were townie. But most people didn't realize that.
I believed the Karesh/Sifright claim immediately, since no one counter-claimed Fluttershy. If Karesh really wasn't Fluttershy then those two would have been mafia and we'd have easy lynches.
Once Snake died I had to take over as the townie trying to win. I was so afraid that the PO would get night killed since no one was listening to me, and if the PO died I was certain we'd lose.

Solid Snake
10-24-2011, 02:35 PM
I believed the Karesh/Sifright claim immediately, since no one counter-claimed Fluttershy.
I would have bought into that myself if not for the fact that as Host I tend to always try to level the playing field for Scum by leaving a couple main characters as safe roles for them to claim. (In the Homestuck Mafia game, Dave, Jade and Vriska were major characters who Mafia could claim.) In the end, though, I'd have had no problem buying into Karesh if not for the fact that Sifright's D1 and D2 play was dodgy as hell, and Sifright tied himself to Karesh with his claim.
I'm surprised that Fenris cast all the major characters as pro-Town, because it effectively (as you noted) nullified the value of not knowing the roles characters possessed when they were nightkilled. And the fact that Fenris, for example, established that Rainbow Dash was the Vig (and that Zecora had the power to revive) via flavor text ensured that everyone would know at least those roles once they flipped.
EDIT: I disagree with Gem on the pony GIFs thing; ironically my confidence in IHMN as Town skyrocketed with the GIFs as opposed to without them, as the limitation (once I confirmed it) proved he was almost certainly Town, I felt comfortable trusting nearly every one of his suspicions. Admittingly, it also helped that IHMN seemed to be one of the few Townies with a firm grasp of the fact that I was Town and trying to help. As for the GIFs, I found most of them quite easy to follow and I actually think IHMN would have been worse off if he actually typed out every one of his thoughts, as Scum would have an easier time manipulating his text than manipulating GIFs and there would be more room for misinterpretation of IHMN's logic. Words are easy things to twist.

It's funny to reflect on the fact that the two players I most trusted as obv-Town did not apparently feel each other were obv-Town.
And we're not gloating more because the Mafiate was seriously handicapped this game, and dumb luck eliminated the Cult before it could even get started.

I mean let me be blunt, Oron, rpgdemon and Bard arguably played a better game than Sifright, Verified and Earl. Should the latter three really gloat over the former three?
(Though I still don't know why RPG claimed the obvious SK role, and his more assertive behavior was definitely something I noted as a sign he was likely anti-Town. And I'm mentioning Oron and Bard there because based on their public posts I felt they played a better game than Greed -- who was too inactive in a way that felt obviously scummy as early as D1 and D2 -- and Ryanderman, who was legitimately called out on some slippage.)

I had thought that the GIFs would help, since I was pegging the mafia correctly, but could keep living since I was basically confirmed not to be the PO and the lack of words could be seen as non-threatening to the mafia.

Two HoS on me at the end just before the game ended was the saddest thing.
I had no read on Gem since he died before I really started to play, which was after his death since that move seemed like it screwed the town.
I got repped by Fenris for the Pinkie summary post, Loyal who was hoping that I was scum, and Gregness cause of the GIFs and actually playing with them.

I mean let me be blunt, Oron, rpgdemon and Bard arguably played a better game than Sifright, Verified and Earl. Should the latter three really gloat over the former three?
They won, so yeah.
I kid, honestly, I get that everyone played a good game, expcept for some members of town. But a bit of joking gloating is always fun.
Also, I totally believed teh IHMN was trustworthy. I just didn't believe that he was necessarily right about everything, and the pony gifs made it hard for him to explain why he had his hunches.

Oh and I'm glad Fenris apparently admitted back there that letting Dr. Whooves know who the untouchable-at-night character was, was not a great idea. I was not trying to be anti-Town by going after Karesh and Sifright because of it, I legitimately thought there was no way Sifright would be given the opportunity to ensure that the untargetable role would not be lynched.
EDIT: Before anyone gets butthurt, let me just specify that many of you who played "terrible" games shouldn't feel too bad about it; some of you got slated weird Power roles that you just didn't have the experience to handle, and for that matter for many of you this was something like your first or second Mafia game. The important thing is virtually everyone not named "Verified" improved their play. Sifright became notably more competent as the game progressed, even though several of his hunches were dead wrong. Earl learned an important lesson when he misplayed his Power role. For the record, I sucked through my first few Mafia games and had to learn tons of shit, too. You'll get better if you keep playing.

Gregness, I think your rep during the game technically counts as outside game communication.
That wasn't at all my intention, I was simply impressed with how well you were able to play given your restriction. I apologize.
Also, IHMN, could you tell me what about my play kept making you HoS me? I didn't think anything I was doing was particularly scummy, but it being my first game I'll accept there may be factors I'm not considering.
Also, I'm genuinely surprised that your entire role was simply the posting restriction. 90% of the reason I was suspicious of you was because I didn't think Fenris would give you that hefty a penalty without some other power to compensate you.

Snake your day 1 strategy was totally risky as shit. While you helped out a lot of the mafia you outted most of the town power and gave the cult and presumably the mafia a good list of targets.
If the cult was by someone who wasn't as big a target as I was and they had a few days they would have totally crippled the town.
Like this is why I was convinced you were some kind of scum because whie you gave us maybe 1 or 2 scum roles you gave us quite a few town power roles . I was assuming you were sacrificing yourself to give the mafia information.
Like Snake, stop calling people out on "terrible" games, ffs. You were a massive help to the cult if they didn't get wiped out day 1 and I'm assuming the mafia got helped by it too.
You are in no position to commen ton the games of other and aren't some amazing super player.

I do not remember outing any Town Power, unless you're talking about outing IHMN. How was the PO, Mayor or the Vig 'outed' by anything I did? I certainly didn't out myself as Reviver. And, again, 5 of my 7 D1 hunches in my serious "D1 suspicions" post were anti-Town roles.
What I did do was ensure greater activity led to lots of pertinent D1 and D2 information that Town could later rely upon to, for example, establish Nik was scummy the moment I flipped, suspect Greed for his inactivity, etc.

I had no extra power, just your standard drunkard with pictures.
I do not remember really suspecting you. I may have been throwing your name out to get you or others to post. When people weren't posting I threw around HoS because I needed people to react too. It's hard to introduce an idea with pictures.
At times, after looking over the mafia thread, I would then go elsewhere on the internet or even in real life and still be thinking of how to explain what I want to with pony GIFs.
Some meaning of commonly used pictures.

This specifically meant "no" for misunderstandings that required a follow up explanation.

"I cannot explain what I want to with pictures."
Size of the pictures typically meant nothing. Over time I was making them smaller and smaller since I kept feeling that the pictures were too big. But I would go back and use pictures and not bother resizing at times. Though particularly big, in relation to whatever I was currently using as standard, did mean extra attention.

To be fair Nikose turning out to be scum had more to do with him lying about stuff you said and less about your actions directly, as town lying is something I would have thought was a massive no no. So some one lying in any form is a pretty big indicator as to who should be lynched. Day 2 would totally have been Nikose dying if it wasn't for the lynch override.

You had a lucky shot Hawk.
And I don't think I was that inactive! Not at all! Funny enough, the times I was inactive were because I was just genuinely busy. Circumstance screwed me over something fierce. The fact that I didn't change my vote to Nik was pretty telling though.

Addressed it here (http://www.nuklearforums.com/showpost.php?p=1157241&postcount=396)
Smarty's just judging me based on incomplete information as D1 and D2 are both non-representative samples of a traditional "Snake pro-Town Mafia game" as both days ended earlier than I anticipated and neither ended with a traditional lynch.
But I'm still confused as to his insinuation that I had "outed Power roles," that's something that's not supported in any way, shape or form. I didn't make Sifright reveal that Karesh was Fluttershy and I never asked the Vig, PO, or any other role to reveal itself. Maybe Smarty's just butthurt that I would've led a D1 lynch on Bob the Merc and killed a Cultist if not for Bookie's mistake. Or maybe he just hates my guts.

If I have one regret, its that we didn't hang Solid Snake and shoot IHMN.
Oh, it's over now?
This game was all over the place. Cult wipe Night 1, then mafia was going strong to the point where we were sure we'd win within a couple more game days until Nikose got lynched and Bard + Ryanderman went down that night. We got cut from about a third of the populace to... something like a fifth. Had RPG not nightkilled that night, his and our chances would have been better, since he basically rolled us over to die when we got knocked to two so quickly. Town just had to keep going down the (much shorter by then) path they were walking to lynch greed, and I knew I would come up soon without people to hide behind.
IHMN was ridiculous. I went through a mental list Night 2 and had most of it figured out (I thought so, at least). I was sure Hawk had a power role (I thought he was the Vig, because I wouldn't put it past Fenris to give someone a role based on their avatar), and Greg had to be the PO/Roleblocker. RO slipped by my radar because he was an add-in so I couldn't tell yet what role he might have been. And then IHMN had the whole list that I just read before saying to myself, "Well, he knows just about everything." I honestly broke the SK down to either RPG for his behavior or IHMN simply because he had all the scum pegged and I figured either he really didn't know who I was yet or he did and hid my name to keep the game going.
Only one of the Mafia list I didn't really peg was Bard, hence believing there was one left. And Nikose, in the sense that he was so OTT I didn't know what to think. Seriously, what was up with that?
Wonder how things would have turned out if I didn't catch greed and Oron.
If you didn't scan me and I was a little less mentally exhausted when I role claimed, I probably would just creeped through the rest of the game. I've only played a few games of Mafia before, but I've managed to go through a whole game without even being mentioned (once as a Vig). I'm not kidding about the "Unremarkable" part under my username. (I don't know why I thought I still had that in my User Info) Sometimes other players just don't talk about me during the day in these games. Note how I never made a serious vote (the one against Smarty Day 1 doesn't count) and nobody called me out on not contributing to the voting process.
That Day/Night cycle literally flipped the entire game around.

All that information you outed? Helped us get beads on potential mafia and town power. Like that's how we got Hawk as probably power day 1 and how we picked Nikose as scum. Then Day 2 I picked Geminex as probably power, and Ryan and Greed as scum.
We wouldn't have if we didn't have posts to work off which you drummed up with . You got heaps of information out of everyone which is good for the town but it is also useful for the cult.
I had two of the most powerful town roles in my cult sights and it was all your behaviour. Prior to you drumming up posts I had no idea who had these roles. Post you drumming up posts I did know them. I didn't know what roles they had but I had a fairly good guess they were power and it turns out they were very good power.
But Snake, everyone is just playing for fun. Stop harassign everyone and criticising their games. We're all just having fun and your game wasn't super godly. So stop being a dick to everyone. It has nothing to do with me "hating you" or you pushign for a cult lynch. I don't hate you and if you lynched a cult dude well done.
Snake, it's all in fun. You being super mean to everyone.

I'm so glad that the cult died on night 1. Cults are stupid and would have easily won this game.
I had no idea who any of the town power roles were.
I'm pretty much okay with Cult dropping right away. Nikose was pretty sure he'd have been Culted first.
