Love Boat [Mafia] |OT| Till Death Do Us Part

My guess is that it wouldn't count because of the nature of the effect. They target at night, and then the effect takes place the following day&night.

To me, that suggests that their criteria was technically met if the player is alive and chat blocked.

If death didn't affect it, they would basically be guaranteed to meet their win in four nights, which is silly (save for the one role we know of that would have slowed them down one night).
 
If there is a switcher out there, you have to realize that if you posted your list we could likely solve this whole game.

Just saying... It's lynch or lose we've got to let it all hang out!

They were always the plan B in my eyes, I've said this once before at least. Flux's claim made their alignment unknown until proven otherwise, yet the nature and the details of the gambit did not feel obviously scummy all things considering. Would've joined a lynch on them on any day after night one, had there been no better candidates. In the end such a situation never arose.

I'd like to add that I didn't vote them because of Dusk Soldier, and he came up again a couple days later for the same reason. He made stupid reads on both days when I voted him, specifically with Zipped and Kark.

Also, I want to put it on record that I WILL be back in time to vote so long as this doesn't turbo. I am not voting now for the reason that Zipped unvoted, and my vote will be going on hobohodo & ty4on.

unvote

I usually like turbojet but with hobo saying what he said I want to see this through.

We investigate a name, and our pm says that our investigation resulted in finding someone with no love in their heart. I would imagine if we had found town it would have said something different.

Is that why you targeted Blawl?
2) He does not count as a legitimate hit
-----------------------------------------------------
In that case the hit on Gorlak must count, since as mentioned someone did not claim a blocked chat.
I'm pretty sure scum has to be illegitimate otherwise it'd be too easy for them and the PM specifies "Lover Chat".
Is there anything other than convenience that makes you think Gorlak was hit?

We could have a weird scum switcher. Something like the RNG switcher in FF that can cause confusion, but can't bypass the doctor unless you're really lucky.
I dunno. All I know is I'm not scum.

This really seems like another gambit that Karkhead is doing to get who they want lynched again.

Either we are playing right into scum's hands or this was a landslide win for town.
 
Five hours to go, everyone is regular/ordinary townie, and most everyone wants to vote for Ty4on except for hobo and Ty4on who are probably going to vote for Kyanrute/ retroid

El Topo's team (giant panda) is cleared because of the whole chat bomb thing (which I think is pretty fair, they used the exact same adjectives as we got in our chat bomb PM, and the chat bombed was neutral, so even if they did have a sample of the PM they couldn't have shared it)

Ultrajay is open, I've already posted why I don't think He is scum (fairly inactive partner, never wavered on bussing scum), but he could be. Never called us out on our tracker play (for what it's worth).

So camjo-z/TL21xx is on no ones radar...

Ah, first it was mixed teams, now it’s a switcher. Anything to suggest that a random, unprovable element is somehow putting you into this position, rather than the simple answer of you being mafia. And don't think I forgot about how you ignored me posting evidence of you townreading Kyan/Retroid yesterday despite claiming you didn't.

The hell is going on?

My vote counts for two people, you know, so I'm not taking it lightly. I need to go to bed through the day's end however so I'll check back in an hour or whatever.

But... what the hell? Kark throwing shade on Camjo and unvoting? Ty4on is now at 3 (but Retroid will prob be voting with Kyan there) with just Camjo and TL along with Kyan.
 

UltraJay

Well, Zip threw shade and Kark unvoted.

Zip previously unvoted to prevent a turbo... but there's something else about to happen or what?

They were on Splinter's radar for much of D2 and I tried continuing on his suspicions. I was honest to God supposed to write some stuff about how I was leaning a bit town on them because they were too aggressive against me and then I read this:
Oh, right. For some reason I could have sworn Blarg's was x-shot. In that case they probably picked randomly because it was unlimited anyway.
That just doesn't read scummy to me. Sure it could be a fake, but it genuinely looks like he's just uninformed and skimmed the part of his role PM that said it was a three-shot.

Semantics
[...]
Retroid was under some fire by Flame on D1. It could have been a way of distancing themselves and looked a bit odd, but for the time being I lean town on them because of that.
"I'm uncertain which of these are the scummiest, but this exchange made me lean town"
Is a very weak town read

--------------

Gut read alert. I don't have anywhere near the time to do a proper read, but Kyan and Retroid's caution is weirding me out. They'd be on the top of my radar if town didn't lose after lynching me.

I'm as clueless as you, but I don't have the time to read up more :/

If it helps Hobo started chatting a bit yesterday. I missed them at first, but he didn't look scummy to me. It's the same with Sophia. She was always very open in the chat. She did leave very suddenly (I even asked Burb if something had happened) which made me metagame a bit today, but she never seemed to attempt acting townie.

Day 1, Blarg targeted us

Day 2, BooJay targeted no one

Day 3, Hobo & Ty4on targeted no one


That is the truth.

Now, let's get to business

By our estimate we have one more scum (meaning LYLO is tomorrow). And if we only have one more scum it is likely they have a power of some kind. We already lynched their ordinary scum.

If we have two more scum then It's likely that chat bomb did work on scum, but one of scum's remaining roles is a blocker of some kind. El Topanda would be on the table in that instance.

But with only one scum left there is really only one option.

What business? You literally wasted the entire day on bullshit that gained us no insight, congratulations. Now we have less than 3 hours to pick someone else, and we all know late in the day is when people do their best critical thinking. I won't be surprised if TL isn't even here in time to switch his vote.

Still, my ultimate fail-proof plan remains watertight. If Ty4on isn't maf then Kyan/Retroid is The Final Option™.

Vote: Kyanrute

The track does not make Hoboty's alignment town. It just means that they did not move during the night. Coppaflame could've been the killers that night.

I've run with the same assumption since the start that there are probably 4 scum in this game, and it's the safer assumption right now, too.

With 6 teams left, we can try to logically work this situation out.


Boo and Ty4on did not move when we tracked them. If there are four scum players, it's possible that we just happened to track each pair on the nights they didn't do anything. Scum knowing there is a Tracker working on them (Night 2 and onwards) would lend some incentive to them maybe not using all their powers all the time.

However, we also killed the "Ordinary" loveless players, who could only kill, which means that they were probably using him to submit kills while the other players did their actions.

So while Boo and Ty4on are not cleared simply from our checking them, let's put them in a "less likely" camp for now. Don't get too comfortable, though.

True, but you said you think the last maf has a power. Wouldn't you have seen them using it then?

That actually sounds like someone forgot that their scum buddy fake-claimed unlimited shot and was using their actual knowledge of their scum buddy's role - that of a three-shot scum tracker.

Did you read the rest of the posts this time? Did you perhaps miss the points where I asked them to provide information and the posts where they did so?

No, I read those. What ticked me off was change of heart. It just didn't seem that genuine and Camjo being the sole scum makes his willingness to lynch me weird.

Issue #2

We've been assuming El Topo and Panda are Town this entire time, because we've assumed the chat blocker was a scum power. When that turned out to be a neutral role, the sole basis for that assumption is gone.

The argument has been made that the Chat Blockers would nuke the entire scum chat if they happened to target scum, and so they probably aren't allowed to do that. But why look at it only one way?

When our chat was blocked, we were actually locked out of the room. That's becaus e the mods have great access in who can read or post in the Outer Gafia threads.

So it's completely possible that a chat blocker can target scum. That pair would simply be locked out of the scum chat. No only that, but their hush-hush scum nature might make them less inclined to just shout out "WE WERE CHAT BOMBED" right away, the way that El Topo and Panda kept quiet about it, and the way that BooJay kept quiet about it.

The chat bombers were NEUTRALS, after all. They are supposed to target both sides. Otherwise, they might as well be on the scum team.

This was after their flip where we learned they were a 3-shot tracker. It's possible, but the execution is weird to me.

I think it's more likely it just fails, but in order to give scum the ability to fight back (so it doesn't act as a cop for town) they get some info about what happened so they can fake claim.

Oh I see. Just the way I think. It is rather straightforward. I ask for evidence. Most of it is provided. I willingly go along with what I feel is either a gambit or a genuine scum lynch. I emphasized myself more than usual at the start because of the circumstances and the fact I felt Zippedor were somewhat ignoring my questions and focusing on accusing you instead of defending themselves.

The chat bombers did have to figure out themselves if it worked.

Occam's razor to me though is Flame and Coppa were the target N3.

That makes that a real easy win condition.

Plus, we didn't keep quiet about it. I said that we were in the last day phase. I didn't pop up immediately because I was sleeping but you guys all saw them leave the game first anyway. Couldn't comment on Cuppa's fake claim because they turboed.

In my eyes, it's a 50/50 shot without digging through some posts and votes.

If I eliminate Boo and Ty as suspects, and trust that Topo is Town because of the chat bomb, then it's Kyan or Camjo.

If we're assuming 4, it's possible they're both scum. Both of them are the ones jumping on the ty4on vote (which was actually close to turboing)

The bomb is confusing. Scum knew the role and had some idea about how it worked. They knew bats was the bomber. If the bomb does not work on scum, the role works like a pseudo-cop. If the bomb works on scum, bombers win in three nights (minus a Nevertim hit). They did not. Only something like a blocker would then explain their delayed win.

No matter what, I feel Coppaflame were the target on night three. I base this on bat's strange reaction to Coppaflame's fake claim. But bats did not win. Either the bomb does not work on scum, or the second assumed scum pr is a blocker and they blocked bats on night three. Or something else with assumptions that cannot really be proven. Occam's Razor says it is the 1st so I will go with that.

i love waiting until the last minute so people don't have to actually play the game and find a good reason to back their votes

Sup Panda. What was your reasoning for voting me again?

Out of the remaining two teams, my gut says CamTL.

Ah, cool. Who needs stuff like "reasons" or "evidence"? How about you, Topo?

Ah, fuck it.

7 votes needed. Camjo-Z was at 3 without me. Me and Panda are town, Ultra is likely town due to the Metal Lovers.

Either Camjo-Z is scum or there is only one mafia pair left, no?
