Elements Mafia 46 - by Frozengaia

It's okay, there's a suspiciously large army of bunchies waving tons of flags about a certain meme headed his way. This is in no way a post to replace more serious criticism.

[Linkcat]

I didn't vote yesterday because I thought we had another day left. I've been mostly silent because I didn't have anything to say.

Not an OMGUS.

Linkcat (1) UTAlan
UTAlan (1) Linkcat

[iancudorinmarian]

Linkcat (1) - UTAlan
UTAlan (1) - Linkcat
qwerter (1) - iancudorinmarian

Mostly a placeholder vote for now. I'm at school atm, will think more at home.

[DoubleCapitals]

I know there's something in there I can deduce those 3 votes. I'm not sure what to make of it, yet?. In fear of mafia knowing what I know that could help them, I won't say it here. Let me think about it.


(@UTA Scumread on Linkcat was basically because of general unhelpfulness and inactiveness. But now under these circumstances I might need to rethink.)

[iancudorinmarian]

Ok, I'm home now. Keeping my vote. I failed twice with lynching, so probably no one will follow my lead this time. I also promised I'd shut up if sky is civvy, so I won't be telling any reasoning from now on.

[DoubleCapitals]

No one is forcing you to keep your promise.

[DoubleCapitals]

I hope you guys have reasonings for your votes, I know UTA has one, but the rest? I'm really afraid of what I'm about to do. I might not be ready to show hand. I could lose. But I suppose, I have to.

With votes as static as they are, although there is no "if majority is reached=instant lynch rule here", people are unlikely to change their votes often. Kuro has checked in just now, and hasn't placed a vote down even though he could have done so. I suspect he could have been waiting for my vote to be put down before slyly putting down a vote that will guarantee victory/prevent defeat.

Linkcat (1) - UTAlan
UTAlan (1) - Linkcat
qwerter (1) - iancudorinmarian
Kuroaitou (1) - qwerter

As much as I know I say vote for your FoS, without the whole town's efforts, I can do nought, for the power of the mafia is very strong. I urge all of you to at least reason out to us why you vote the way you did, and I might be willing to change the vote I have. You might want to do it too. Because to be honest, in my perspective, I just left Kuro the hammer. Not cool.

[iancudorinmarian]

Linkcat (1) - UTAlan
UTAlan (1) - Linkcat
Kuroaitou (2) - qwerter, iancudorinmarian

I'll just follow qwerter on this one, since he seems to be town after reading through all his posts.
UTAlan seems to be town too.
Linkcat seems is either an unexperienced player, or just a scum who tries to stay low.
Kuro on the other hand, has been quite silent.

I hope this reasoning is enough. Chances of 50% of Kuro being mafia. I don't think we have any other leads, so I'll just go with my gut. May the RNG be with us~

You do realize that, as someone who has to work from 3 PM to 11 PM/midnight for his job, that I might just be too tired to put down a vote without thinking it through? Or who barely has enough time to look through the topics to post a coherent response given the amount of effort for this particular setup?

ian, as suspicious as I am of everyone, there's a reason why I genuinely believe you're town, and it's mainly because I feel that you're the only civilian who has voted on people for their own reason, rather than following a lead. qwerter's persuasion tactics make me increasingly wary of him, but that's not the point. I'm still personally going after the person that I think has the most sway/capability of a mafia person. Linkcat is not only new, but his passivity stems from his general personality, and not because of an initiative to stay hidden - he hasn't played mafia for SEVERAL months, and considering how the this mafia meta has evolved, I doubt that simply being quiet to hide amongst one another is practical in any sense.

Linkcat (1) - UTAlan
UTAlan (2) - Linkcat, Kuroaitou
Kuroaitou (2) - qwerter, iancudorinmarian


Ultimately however ian, if you feel that you must keep your vote on me, that's fine. Just know that qwerter was the one who tricked you.

[iancudorinmarian]

I'll just keep my vote for the moment. I might change it later after I'll give it more thought.

[DoubleCapitals]

Your call, I'm not stopping you. If you don't switch that's fine, if you do switch, well, I've done my best. It is easy for both of the current mafia to lynch a target with a single misguided townie vote after all, and statistically we need a miracle (of 2/15 chance) to even win this. But still, I thought that from the voting pattern before I voted, that not more of two of UTAlan/linkcat/iancudorinmarian could be town. I'm thinking UTA is the most townish of the 3 I've named. ian seems rather desparate at this time, and if I'll make a guess he's the last town.

@Frozen: How are tied votes resolved?

I stand by my case, but I have not much experience with seeing Kuro under fire (he seems to always get killed rather than lynched), he has NEVER drawn mafia until my game and even then he wasn't under the gun at all. So yeah, I don't know how to interpret this, so I'll ignore it. Though, food for thought for future games. And Kuro, once again, sorry if I'm wrong

Do expect UTAlan to come up and change his vote to defend himself. And before y'all come up and accuse me of being scum myself then in that case I could have (and should have) saved myself a whole lot of trouble by just piling on one of the original votes for Linkcat or UTAlan (of which at least one of them is town, assuming I'm mafia),  so long as he's townie, then sit a wait a grab a glass of wine to celebrate my victory.

Except I can't because I'm too young to drink, and I'm not town and I'm desperate too. And if I'm wrong, I'm really sorry.

13. If there is a tie after all vote modifications, someone will be lynched at random.

Random among all tied.
