Mafia - the forum game

Well, after doing some reading (1600+ posts :eek:), and some thinking...

The only person I think I can trust is unixgeek 13 -- was the original cop, who could investigate others, was the the first mafia target...which makes sense if he's not mafia. Then VI was the next mafia target...which again makes sense. So unixgeek13, I really don't think is mafia.

Next, I thought about who voted for whom, and if there was any consistancy in voting for non-mafia members. That led to domesticated om and nietzschefan. Domesticated om voted for Enmos, S.A.M., Norsefire, and Norsefire. Nietzschefan voted for SAM, SAM, Norsefire, and Norsefire. In addition, niestzschefan has yet sway the vote, and we now know that those who were voted to be arrested weren't mafia. All that means to me is that while both may have legitmately not known who was innocent, it still seems suspicious to me. And nietzschefan a little more so, simply because he hasn't used his power.

Then I started thinking about the role changing, stuff and am a little surprised at Challenger78's urgency in implicating Asguard. My own thoughts are that Asguard was being manipulated by Inzomnia. I am somewhat suspicious of Challenger, because Challenger first suggested to Inzo, to revive the mayor. Although to be fair, Challenger did bounce back and forth a couple of times between reviving VI or Asguard. Of course, Inzo(who was mob) jumped on it to revive Asguard if Asguard made BOH the cop.
Further it was suggested by BOH that it was possible that the mafia hit the original cop, picked up on by Asguard, who thought at the time that it could have been to eliminate Enmos from suspicion. I'm not sure what I'm thinking here anymore... Probably that Asguard was manipulated into putting the power of the Doctor into the hands of the mafia, and upon doing that, further manipulated into putting the power of the cop into the hands of the mafia. In terms of who I'd suspect is mafia based on this would be, BOH, followed by Challenger78, and then Asguard.

Now if, BOH is mafia, then you'd have to consider how accurate the information regarding USS Athens being innocent is.

That leaves skaught, who voted for Inzo, SAM, norsefire, and norsefire each day.

And finally myself, who I know isn't mafia -- but that really doesn't mean much to anyone else. Everyone would say they aren't mafia even if they are mafia.

I guess if I had to rank who I suspect is most likely mafia to who is most likely innocent it would be:

1. BOH 2. Challenger78 3. nietzschefan 4. domesticated om 5. skaught 6. USS Athens 7. Asguard 8. unixgeek13 9. phoenix2634



So as of right now, I'm thinking I'm going to vote to arrest Challenger78, in part because if I'm right, then the knife killer who's 2 for 2 in taking out the mafia, could easily kill off BOH, and so no need to waste a vote on BOH. But then again because I'm still uncertain and don't want to be arresting an innocent town member I may vote no arrest. :shrug:
 
Damn - good post it makes a lot of sense. i can see your reasoning in thinking me mafia- I did acknowledge SAM was a mistake. Norsefire I thought for sure was mafia, because I thought asguard was forsure mafia.

Not using my power though is no reason. I STILL have no idea right now who is mafia that is still in the game. I can't waste that until I have some solid proof and somehow votes are swinging away from that proof. I actually thought I wasted a chance in NOT using it on Norsefire two days ago.

Your reasoning for BOH is very good. He has been very active and has swayed our opinions greatly throughout the game. If he is mafia he has played brilliantly.
 
And did we ever find out who's been doing all of those secondary killings? James R did say that certain townsfolk would have some "other" powers not mentioned in the discription.

My first guess is the Bodyguard.
 
That's why I'm investigating skaught as of now. I might change my vote to asgaurd, but he's useless, and so is challenger. I'm leaning towards voting the editor, but tell me what you guys think.

unvote: challenger

Thats all well and good, but for all we know you might be mafia, I suspected the casino owner from the first posts. In fact, my first vote was for the original casino owner, Steve100.

I also am suspicious of B0H, but the Asguard ordeal springs to mind. The reason I did this, was because Asguard got stabbed, and so far,the people who got stabbed have been mafia.
 
Steve really just came off as being suspicious because he didn't post enough, but if you just look at USS's posts he comes off as a townsperson, plus he's innocent according to my investigation. Shouldn't we ask why they shot Enmos and kept me alive? Who voted always voted for Enmos?
 
Ok Ready to play.

He sat there waiting for the clock to chime four when he knew that the cheese on his cracker was melting. She was always something he took in stride. Now with the amps up against the wall the concert was set to begin. Just then the door opened...

That an understandable response...anyone of us might be mafia. :D

That's why I'm hesitant on voting. Although after thinking a little more, if the knife killer does take out BOH, then voting to arrest Asguard would reveal info.

:scratchin:

If BOH is mafia, and Asguard is mafia, then USS Athens most likely is mafia and even if I'm wrong about USS Athens, the villagers still have the numbers to eventually arrest the remaining maifa.

If BOH is mafia and Asguard is not mafia, then that seems to make Challenger78 more likely mafia than USS Athens.

If BOH isn't mafia and Asguard is mafia, then that would clear USS Athens. Everyone else, including myself, is equally likely to be mafia.

If BOH isn't mafia, and Asguard isn't mafia, then the town's most likely screwed.

:shrug: And this line of reasoning is f'd if the knife killer kills someone else.


vote: Asguard
 
Isn't it obvious enough he's a mafia member? Why bother investigating him? Wasting a vote on him seems useless, he can't do anything. We need to hit the mafia member that still has power in the town. Btw, word got back that Skaught's innocent.
 
If he said that about Norse and Norse wasn't mafia...

I still think BOH is more likely mafia than Challenger78, and Challenger78 more likely mafia than Asguard. But then again after reading through, now almost 1700 posts, I'm a bit loopy.

Regardless of what happens, we'll know more when Day 6 begins.
 
We wont know anything, the longer we wait the more we lose. I can't remember what happened to Norsefire last time, maybe I wasn't on at the time to change my vote cause there were 9 for it, and if you recall every other time 7+ people voted for someone I tried to change the vote as soon as possible.
 
Well so far we have not figured out ONE mafia member. I just hope we don't accidentally vote off the goddam crazy slasher, because he is the only one keeping the Mafia from sweeping us!
 
BOH, I'm curious, assuming that I've got it wrong on the whole Asguard-Inzomnia-Challenger78-Enmos role switching thing (read nearly 1700 posts now:eek:) and you're just an innocent bystander one who was manipulated into looking like a mafia member, who do you think is most likely mafia?
