See, I'm kind of more suspicious of Trigger than yesterday. Beyond what I already said about agreeing with Kark's theory, I feel like if any of the prominent lynch candidates had been scum, me voting for Trigger would have caused some increase in traction in that direction, in order to push somewhere else. But it didn't happen, and I wonder why. Kark's argument sounded good to me so I wonder why it + my vote didn't sound good to anyone else.

Yeah, I'm not feeling great about Trigger either.

I haven't had a lot of time this phrase to read up and have barely been able to keep up. Mazre, Karu and Trigger are all scummy in their own way.

So basically, you are sitting on Trigger the same way I am sitting on Karu. The current vote is a great mislynch, scum doesn't want to rock the boat away from it.

If Mazre flips scum, this is worth considering. But if Mazre flips town, then the scum team is just waiting because they don't need to do anything, and we look at the latter votes on mazre. The whole team probably won't be there, but some.

What has been your strategy in this game, Mazre? Have you wanted to get people reacting to you or have you just been busy.

Fair enough. Just wanted to leave it in writing.

Sticking my vote on Mazre solely to make it a little harder for scum to switch the vote to me at the last second. Otherwise I'd be voting Launch.

VOTE: Mazre

Sorian can you please give us a cushion now

You are really worried about controlling my vote. I'm only one person and I'm here staring at the computer for the next 19 minutes anyway. If my vote is needed that it can be used, if not then I'm sticking to my guns, I think this lynch is stupid and I think the second place is even stupider.

Camjo has you now anyway.
 
Yeah, can't really add much to the discussion right now. Mazre's gonna die and I don't have much of a problem with that. I just think there's a couple of better options...
 
This does seem too quiet.

But I'm serious about removing inactives, and that's where mafia commonly hide. Hopefully this will at least make everyone participate meaningfully if Mazre is town.

Final thoughts for the day just so there is something here if I die.

Town: Still weemad and Fire
Cleared via use of power, worth revisiting if he lives on a night he should have died: Camjo
Scummy but has claimed in such a way where pursuit seems sub-optimal: Xam and Kark
Scummy: Karu, Coppa, TL21xx

Added TL21xx, been going back and forth on him but his inactivity doesn't sit right with me. I don't think he is lying about real life stuff at all and that's not what it is. The overly slow game is a just a point of interest to me. Definitely a fringe case but I've been doing a top 3 for awhile now so I wanted one more on there (it's not in any order though).

The votes have been counted. The decision has been made. Mazre would have to face one of Riddler's challenges.

"Well then, unless there are any more surprises totally planned happenings, shall we see what our dear Mazre has to face?"

He pressed the button, and Mazre walked through a door.

"So, ehm, guys, there is just a TV here, and a DVD player. That's all. Mr. Riddler, what am I supposed to do?"

"Well, why am I not surprised you already are asking for help? But to keep this show moving along, I will give you a hint: THERE IS AN ON BUTTON YOU MORON!"

Mazre pressed the on button, and the TV started playing a movie.

It was Batman & Robin.

"So all I have to do is to just watch this movie? Well that's ea.......damn, those ice puns are bad. And wtf is that, is that a bat credit card??? AND ARE THAT BAT NIPPLES??? AND NOW THERE ARE EVEN WORSE ICE P......."

Before he could finish his sentence, the terrible ice puns became too much to bear and Mazre exploded into a million pieces.

Mazre has died!

Welcome to Batman mafia!

You are A generic GCPD officer.

You are aligned with the heroes.

Your friend thought you were crazy, becoming a cop in Gotham city???? That is a death sentence! You laughed it off and pretended that it all wasn’t so bad, but deep inside you knew they were right. But they pay well, and you needed the money to take care for your pregnant wife, terminally ill kid and the 5 abandoned puppies you selflessly took in. They are all counting on you to get out of this crazy person's death trap alive, so you will not give up. You will help the heroes to take down the villains, and survive! Maybe even get some autographs for your daughter, she will love that!

You don’t have any cool super powers, or any of those cool gadgets, hell, you even aren’t as smart as those guys. But you still have the power to VOTE! So use that power to take down the villains and get back to your family alive!

You win when all the villains are eliminated.

After an uneasy night, they woke up. Still shocked from the terrifying happenings of the previous day.

"Man, that was something yesterday, have you guys ever seen something that horrible?"

"No, that was the most disgusting thing I have ever seen in my life!"

"Yeah, how is it possible that such a horrendous movie exists!"

"Indeed"

"Oh yeah, I guess Mazre exploding was kinda bad too, but hot damn is Batman & Robin terrible! "

From his control room, The Riddler looked at them with disgust

"If you guys are done chitchatting, would you be so kind to look around the room? I don't know why I am surprised, but apparently you idiots CAN'T COUNT!"

Just like yesterday, it didn't took long for them to find the body. There lay TL21xx. His body filled with bullet holes. His glasses lay broken beside his body. His impressive moustache red of blood.

Everyone was shocked.

Everyone?

anigif_enhanced-16803-1401312761-37.gif

TL21xx has died!

Welcome to Batman mafia!

You are James W. Gordon.

You are aligned with the heroes.

You are honest, brave, smart, resourceful, have an awesome moustache and are played by Gary Oldman. What more is there that you want in your police commissioner? You may not be a super hero, but you are just as important for the safety of Gotham city as those guys. Hell, maybe even more important! And did I mention that you are played by Gary Oldman?

Once a night, you can use your experience as a cop to send me one of the following three one-shot commands: GARY OLDMAN IS FUCKING AWESOME: playername , BRYAN CRANSTON IS FUCKING AWESOME: playername or J.K. SIMMONS IS FUCKING AWESOME: playername . All the commands will return the role name of your target.

You win when all the villains are eliminated.

Huh, town role cop, gafia usually reserves that as a scum power, wonder if that means we have a regular cop or not? :(

VOTE: LaunchpadMcQ

Not because I think you are scum but because I believe you promised us story time.

By regular cop, I mean alignment cop.
 
Ok, time to spill the beans and hopefully we can catch some scum today.

Now, as for my role, I had to do a lot of grandstanding to play it up for several reasons.

1) I was in total control of the role. If I died, I wouldn't have received the results. I had to let scum believe that there was nothing that could stop it, including killing me.
2) If I revealed too much about the role, scum would probably have figured out what was going on and killed me.
3) Everything I said up until now has been true, except for a few half-truths and omissions.

I am Harvey Bullock. My ability is a sort of stakeout ability where I choose someone during the first night phase, watch someone over the day phase, and receive a message during the following night phase. This message tells me whether or not there were any non-town players who voted for this player.

My intended use of this ability was to get a small group of players to vote on Camjo and then try to either clear them or create a small pool where we can start scum-hunting; this is why I said that the ability may not prove useful in this day phase, because we may not figure out who the scum/neutral in the group is.

Now, the thing is, I received the message that there are one or more non-town players in the pool that voted for Camjo. Here's the thing; I asked for 3 players ideally. I thought this was a small enough pool that the probability of having a mafia in it was small. I was intending to clear 3 town players with this ability. I was trying to clear Kark, who I believe is town, and the others seemed towny to me. However, there was a straggler there...

ʂure

VOTE: Camjo-Z

I'm still a bit busy, but I'll try to move my vote if I have to.

Like, what? Who asked him to do this?

VOTE: Ty4on
 

Sorian

So you are claiming there is non-town within: Kark, Coppa, Absolut, and Ty4on?

Golly gee, I wonder which lead I want to chase today? Oh I know, the same drum I've been smacking since day fucking 1.

VOTE: Coppanuva

And not even because I believe Launch completely because this could still all be grand standing from a scum making up a, admittingly, very grandiose claim but because now there is a potentially smaller list that still has someone I am skeptical of on it.

Karkerdore is probably not scum
Absolutbro probably not scum going off of flux's behavior
Coppa and ty4on have been non-entities

I need to not forget that Absolut replaced Flux. That whole thread fell away when he asked for a replacement and PW should have taught you all that scum is just as likely to search out a replacement as town.

Xam, who were you on last night?

I was on you for a good portion of the day
But I changed because I realized scum might target Kark because he was in the Camjo vote
Also, QB was acting much different than Flux was

Meh, expected choice so nothing to really call you on if I don't think you are the doctor aside from the obvious "why are you still alive?" bait. Skip.

Drago as well in PW but Flux was acting sketchy no matter how you slice it, the type of sketchy doesn't suddenly make it better.
