Elements Mafia 78 - by serprex

[RootRanger]

I would like Linkcat to provide the information he found out last night. I think he should reveal first, being the scummiest player. We can then see if anyone else is able to verify or refute that information.

There's no reason for a leader to target their own cultist right? That's just self harm as far as I can tell, but I want others opinions.

I heavily doubt he was hit by both leaders tonight, but I also wanna know; as a leader what's the strategy? Do they hit super actives players or do they go for the inactive ones?

The wincon for the cults is to have the biggest cult once all town members are converted. If a leader notices this has happened he can just namedrop everyone they recruited and lynch the other group (same reason why a regular mafia game stops once the mafia is in the majority). As long as no cultists are lynched and no attempts to recruit leaders are made both cults will have the same size. To achieve a majority a leader needs to get rival cultists (or even better the rival leader) lynched, without revealing they are a leader.

I think the best strategy for doing that (for both leaders and cultists) is to act in a way that makes people not want to lynch you (kinda like deepwolfing) and wait for the opposing faction to slip up first.

After analyzing everything that's been said I'm like 90% sure kaempf is not on my team. Everyone else i'm less certain about so from my point of view this is my best option for the time being.

@linkcat, coolkid and Oa this thread cannot really go forward without some discernible input from you guys. At least one of you was a towny at some point, though i get that you could have become cultists by now. Linkcat esp needs to give us sth thats not just random or suspicious, fortunately he is the most active of the bunch.

[andretimpa]

Some incentive to get Link talking

You wouldn't be voting me right now if my attempt to convert you wasn't 6 minutes late, which I found out just now because I haven't been paying attention to deadlines at all. I would have let it go through, I guess serp just likes to watch me suffer. Anyway, I'm trying to win this game solely through shitposting, so please don't lynch me thanks.

I already gave my accusation earlier, looks like shock was the only one big brained enough to see it.

Welp

Any info/input from PlayerOa & cool64kid?

[MasterWalks]

Lemme paint a scenario.
Just assume Link and Root are leaders.
N0
Root recruits W3 (familiar name, low chance of lynch)
Link recruits Shock (shitposting the game)

D1
Mobian dies as a clean town.

N1
Root targets ? (Gonna guess Andre due to root helping him)
Link targets W3 (again, shitposting his way through)

W3 dies as cultist.

I believe this makes the most sense. I'm willing to bet kae is being wagoned by link in hopes Root targeted kae N1, or to thin out town. I believe link and shock are in the same cult. I don't think link would target late, especially if he's trying to shit post his way through, and kae being an ultra active brings attention, risking a lynch.

Well, this would be a good time to fully explain your Root read I guess, if you want me to be intrigued in the 2nd half of it. That Link has to die with this playstyle is a foregone conclusion even if he was just trolling town.

[kaempfer13]

Actually is there even an alignement link could have where he isnt breaking rule 6?
