GAME OVER - TOWN WIN - DAY 5 Viva Loose Vegas - Mafia Game

[Ragian]

Deadline is this Saturday, so we better get a move on. Finding Loose's opening post is a bit if a nuisance, though, given it's not the first post.

[Ragian]

I don't townread anyone at the moment. And add to that a lot of silent players... I'll vote later today.

[Ragian]

Rereading in order to make up my mind, having been posting without much merit mainly due to connection issues (I have to use my mobile wifi in order to get to CC as my dumbass router blocks it for...reasons I'm too thick to get). So, here's me trying to make sense of what's going on. I'm doing this chronologically in sort of note form...

Loose stated that the resort is legit. But playing a poker game in the boiler room? That sounds "off grid resort" dodgy.. So with 13 players in a legit resort i guess the scum is to be found at that shady poker table? Who else has the same idea?

are the poker players also supposed to be guessing 5 players at the table in order to win the goodie bag? because if so, that means it's not typical "mafia" in that they don't know each other? but then that raises questions on how night kills work as a collective.

guess i'm a little confused

Homer's comment sounds like a big, "don't look here!" That raises an eyebrow.

FP by Charle who just unticked one of his boxes

Care to share some boxes for the benefit of town?

I actually think that at leasst one Scum is at the table. but ofc I have nothing to back that up. But yeah town power roles might be at the table as well.

Why do you think this?

there are two options for the table.

if it is a situation where it's a shady game, then maybe certain roles were selected for the table, and those randomly assigned those roles are there.. which would likely be a mix of scum and certain power roles (vigilante type, so not scum, but not a "by the book" character either)

or the table spots are randomly assigned, so it'll be a mix of scum, power roles, vanilla townies

i don't think we have any indications yet which way it goes

Here, again...I can't help but being pinged by this. These posts are speculations about a setup we cannot know about. Basically, it's a waste of time. It makes me think that Homer is trying to look as if he's participating when actually he's bringing nothing to the table (giggles). (This, incidentally, is also my answer to jfm's question, which I think I understand now rereading the thread.)

Jfm goes in a similar category with his post following Homer's. But to a lesser extent.

Also correct me if I'm wrong but in one post, it gets highlighted that I'm still voting Rag and I respond that it's a d1 vote and just a single vote - whatever.

In another post, Sonic says I am getting too invested over a single vote.

Rag/Sonic, what do you make of your ideas surrounding this?

unvote

I highlighted that you were still voting me. I think. I was just suffering from a broken heart. That was meant as banter. I'm not too sure I understand your question correctly. But, on another note, where have you gone?

In the interest of balance, Homer made a comment on EW that has nothing to do with setup but is slightly accusatory. That takes some of the scummy away.

I read you loud and clear EW.

Wow...what is this?

EW came back to vote Son!c. I can't tell if EW is geuinely annoyed with Son!c because it's frustrating to be in the hot seat due to merit or because Son!c actually stumpled upon something.

I just have a feeling that Sonic might be onto something, so I am going to follow him. In the same breath I really like EW's strategy to lynch day 1 so that we keep the first move with Town.

So in this case, Vote Devante

This "feeling". What is that based on?

And unvote

I rattled enough cages and know all i wanna know on D1.

Vote no lynch

Son!c, what the fudge? I had you down as town and then you back down as if you're scared to have blood on your hands. What gives with the unvote?

---
So, that gave me some insight, but not too much.

1. Son!c - I like the probing and the unfounded accusations because it brings stuff to the table. But the unvote at the end. No.
2. Ragian - IT idiot but beautiful town.
3. Extreme Ways - I still find EW's posts less sane than usual. I just can't tell if genuine annoyance or caught annoyance.
4. Charle - Charle goes with Son!c, which seemed off, but also questions Son!c's disappearance from the train. That's good.
5. TrafalgarLaw01 - Can't tell either or right now, but handed me victory last game, so that's a D1 pass
6. Devante - Not sure I understood the votes on Devante, but interestingly Son!c unvoted when it started getting serious.
7. kongming3 - Made the oddest comment so far IMO. I want to investigate that.
8. *pixar* - Seems usual Pixar hiding in the corner till the weather looks nicer.
9. Maxleod - AWOL, banned, drunk, whatevs...
10. homer_jay - Too invested in guessing at setup for my liking, but drew some of it back with his comment on EW liking him to Traf last game
11. jfm10 - similar to Homer and seemed to disappear again.
12. strike wolf - Has kept it VERY neat and must always be scrutinised.
13. Kingm - Has he posted? I can only find something about the goodie bag.

---

So, right now I want to poke at the following:
1) Son!c, what's with unvoting and going for no lynch? Feels like a flan in a cupboard.
2) EW, what is going on? Please explain your vote on Son!c and why kong is saying that he reads you loud and clear.
3) Kong, feel free to add to that stuff above.
4) Homer, how do you feel about the stuff going on so far? Do you actually think that EW is scummy?
5) King and Max, could you post, please?

That should be enough for now. Gotta work, too, unfortunately. Could everyone be as goodie two-shoes as me and copy-paste the players into a post commenting on them? I'm not saying we HAVE to lynch, though I prefer it, but we should at least get a claim.

Depending on the answers to the inquiries above, I will vote. If nothing happens, I think I'll vote Son!c or EW.

[Ragian]

Sorry for the shit long post...

[strike wolf]

Its tempting to just vote him out, even if its low hanging fruit.

[SoN!c]

You can vote me D1. Nothing happens. Nothing will happen. ZzzzzzzzzzzZZzZZZZzzzz.

And to answer your question what's with unvoting and going for no lynch? Feels like a flan in a cupboard: mostly D1again and also feeling all alone in the search for scum. And more ZzzzzzzZZZZZZzzzz.

[Ragian]

So, you don't want to answer what the Charle boxes are? You don't want to reveal what you've learned? You don't feel like I'm scumhunting here?

[Charle]

I was at first also thinking what boxes of mine were ticked, but then Sonic told us he was just rattling some cages.

I would like to know what Max and King has to say, just anything to know that they are still with us.

[Kingm]

Not thinking much really, reading everything, but feels like just a lot of nothing, will send in a guess at the poker table closer to the deadline.

[homer_jay]

sorry guys, i've got family in town so been busier than normal.

regarding EW: i find that comment strange, but not quite suspicious. after what happen in the last game and how everybody was (rightly) on traf for his mistake, i don't think EW would have said that if he was scum. i think most likely he made the comment without thinking of how it could be taken.

as for being hung up on the set up.. as mentioned in strike's game, i haven't played mafia in a long time. and the way he set it up explained all the details really well which made it easier for someone trying to re-learn the game. Loose has been loose on details. as more experienced players, you all seem to be rolling with it but it's thrown me off.

i'll make a guess soon about the poker table since don't want to miss a shot at the goody bag, but most likely, unless someone really slips up between now and the deadline, i will be with those voting no lynch on day 1

[Ragian]

vote kong

I want to know what he heard loud and clear from EW.

FYI, Copenhell festival starts today. I might be less active.

ok I've got all your beds ready now, so you can go to your rooms - if you want to....
No lynch D1
Please send me any nighttime requests you have in 72 hours
It is now N1 - no more posting here please

[Loose Canon]

Good Morning Guests
It is now D2
I hope you enjoyed our in-house nighttime entertainments

Kongming3 regrettably decided to visit a rival resort.
Along with another guest and as a master tactician, he was persuaded to visit the STRAT TOWER.
He climbed to the top, beat his chest and surveyed all around.
Then lost his footing.
- or was he tripped he wondered as he plummetted to the ground?

Kongming3 VANILLA TOWN is dead

It is now a bright new sunny day in Loose Vegas

[SoN!c]

I guess he said "i read you loud and clear RV"

[homer_jay]

falling from that high up, we all hear him loud and clear

guess the miniscule shot we had at guessing the poker table didn't work out for any of us. anybody else keeping a spreadsheet to track guesses?

[strike wolf]

You know. In this case, I do not think it was Beauty who killed the Beast.

Kong makes sense as a kill. Hes a strong player and was remarked as being fairly quiet yesterday. Mafia could have definitely picked him as a possible power role.

[kongming3]

Be wary of a one-eyed man in the kingdom of the blind...

[SoN!c]

Interesting.

Also Kong getting picked means scum knows who the other scum are.

[Ragian]

I'm dissatisfied by how D1 ended. We're absolutely the same place as yesterday only fewer townies now. I'll be in the corner sulking.

Oh, and letting you know that jfm has missed turns to an extent that has gotten him kicked from several clan games. I think he might be AWOL, and I hope that he's OK.

[Charle]

I read you loud and clear EW.

Last night's result is indeed interesting. I would have thought that Kong and EW knew something about each other and therefore could be a possible lynch target, so why targeting him even night one?

Could it be that there was something happening at the table that we do not know of?

With 12 players it takes 7 to lynch
I'm going to set deadline for 9th July
Some guests have been asking for more shots, but maybe an alternative to Tekiller if possible?
Of course it's possible, the poolside bar will now be serving shots of Mezcal!

And that's not all.
Anyone not placing a vote (can still be be for no lynch) by end of Day2 will take a shot of Mezcal - with authentic Gusano (ONE EXTRA VOTE) at the beginning of Day3.
This will apply for players not placing votes end of Day 3 and onwards too.

Remember too there may still be an opportunity for you to win the goody bag.
