Also I'd like to add that I find it very disturbing animask never found the time to answer my question before ph0x managed to respond to Two. While perhaps animask may not have been able to come up with a solid defense for ph0x (assuming they're both mafia), I'm certain that he'd at least be able to comprehend Two's post enough to not require a TLDR version. It's easy to expand off of ph0x's thought process now as animask the mafia goon.
foulcoon
Assuming there are only 2 mafia I am certain that both animask and Ph0X are town. If there are more than 2 mafia I may be mistaken.

That being said, yes I am suggesting that both mafia members voted for Q (if there are only 2). The fact that you make the assumption that only one mafia member voted for Q makes it seem like you're really grasping to avoid suspicion. There is no way that you could possibly know only 1 mafia member voted for Q, unless of course you were mafia.

You are either desperate mafia or being really bad at town imo.

FoS: Rolled
Rolled
I'm speaking only on common sense. Why would both mafia members associate themselves with a lynching that they know will be town?
foulcoon
I don't know, you tell me.
Rolled
No, explain your logic. I've explained mine.

Also, I firmly believe that you're wrong about your ph0x and animask claims.
foulcoon
Heres my logic.

I know that 2 mafia voted for lynching Q.
Rolled
Okay foulcoon here we go.

You are obviously Mason. Let me tell you exactly how the game has played thus far.

-DxS gets placed under heat.
-He's like it's okay, at least my mason partner will come to my rescue.
-Q says this:

Quaraezha wrote:

I don't honestly think DxS is mafia too actually.
-The sad attempt at defending DxS gets ignored, as it had no structure behind it (like any other Q post)
-Chris continues to be a jackass and OMGUS's the shit out of DxS
-DxS is like fuck this game, fuck my partner(s), i'm out.

Now we know for a fact Q was a mason. Let's go back to the vote list.
Q (4): Rolled, Two, Rust, Bmin
We can safely assume none of those four are Mason.

Now I have not ISO'd the other members like I should, but one particular post sticks out from the top of my head. That is you directly defending Q:

Foulcoon wrote:

As for the bandwagon starting against Q, I don't really feel that its justified, but I can kind of understand the reasoning.
So all of that said, I concluded that you were Mason as well. I didn't make it public until now, but that was because I didn't feel it was too beneficial for the town to do so. But now with the new information you're bringing me, I feel it is a must.

Foulcoon wrote:

I simply mean that I believe with good reason that myself, animask, and Ph0x are not mafia.

Foulcoon wrote:

So now, we have two possibilities here.
1.) All FOUR of you are Mason, and you are misinformed of your role.
2.) Three of you are Mason, and you also have Cop as your auxiliary role.

There is no other way that you can be 100% certain that the three of you are town.

Now, when I say that you are misinformed of your role, let me elaborate. Refer back to your Role PM please.

MafiaWiki wrote:

Masons are a group, usually all on the Pro-Town side, that usually have some information about each others alignement. They can communicate with each other at Night, if they choose, but otherwise usually have no special abilities. In one variation of the Mason role, the Masons cannot reveal that they are Masons to the town through roleclaiming. Instead, they must find other ways to defend each other.
This is probably all you are aware of. Let me make this perfectly clear, however:

MafiaWiki wrote:

Sometimes, one member of the masonry group is a scum mason, a person in the masonry who is secretly part of the mafia or some other scum group. This occasionally happens in games where the moderater does not specifically tell all masons that they are all town. (See: unconfirmed masons, sometimes called "Neighbors")
That said, Does your role PM specifically mention all of the Masons are pro-town? Don't answer this publicly, as it will result in your modkill (assuming you can't publicize the fact that you are Mason) but please ask yourself the question.

Now, once you realize that your PM does not state that all of the Mason are pro-town, you may then apologize to me ^____^

Also, after re-reading this whole thing, I realized there is a chance of Foulcoon being the Mafia-Mason, and the others are both town. I find this unlikely (see my above posts), and it directly goes against my gut feeling.

Any time you're ready foulcoon, I'd like that apology bro. And take that fucking FoS off of me.
Rolled
Rolled, out.
foulcoon
I would like to think that perhaps DxS was the mason, but when i replaced him I was given another role with the same alignment?

Also, my role PM doesn't say anything about masons at all.
Rolled
I don't think the mason needs to deliberately claim non-mason? They just can't outright claim Mason.
Stop causing confusion to the town please. I doubt that you were given a different role with the same alignment.

Mod: Is it possible that you can shed some light on this? I understand you can't fully prove foulcoon to be lying or truthful, but can you perhaps show us what the Mason Townie's PM (Q's) looked like?

With the entire way that you've played this game, it's easiest to believe that you are the player with the most to benefit from Two's lynching. You have not spent much time talking to him (D1), while you've made an effort to talk to every other player in the game thus far.
Yeah. I had deep conversations with Q, Chris, and DxS.

Rolled wrote:

In fact, you express your inability to read Two publicly. Whether it was truthful or not, I think it was still a slip up.
A slip-up of what? I don't understand why my comment seems so scummy.

Rolled wrote:

Now assuming Chris didn't bite the bullet for Two, you intended to paint me as the player with the most to gain from NKing Two using meta and probably some other things I've said in this game thus far.
Yeah. Because I totally use metas I barely remember. And, as my meta shows clearly, I totally base my arguments on nightkills.

You see, maybe you'll understand WIFOM this time:

What if you (or some other player) wanted people to think that way?
"Ph0X has the most to gain from the deaths of Two and Rolled. Therefore, I, as a mafia member, knowing Ph0X is not mafia, will try to make the town think Ph0X NK'd Two or Rolled so the town lynches him!"
In addition:
"I, Ph0X, as a mafia member, realize that I can say, simply, 'what if someone else wanted you to think that I was mafia trying to kill certain players because I'd best gain from their deaths'. I'd be off the hook then!"

Do you see the problem with this type of argument?

Rolled wrote:

You have made quite an effort to speak to me, thus you have more information on me to scumpaint, thus I would be an easier lynch target than Two would have been. You wouldn't need to waste a NK.
All that information is public. Anyone could use the same information to do the same thing, if they so wanted.

Rolled wrote:

And as you've said, you, two, and myself are some of the more influential players in this game (again, not to brag. meta.) It would be a cake walk for you as mafia if we were both eliminated early.
See my comment about WIFOM above. You're stating the same argument with different words, making it sound like you have a larger argument against me.

Rolled wrote:

Also I'd like to add that I find it very disturbing animask never found the time to answer my question before ph0x managed to respond to Two.
Why did you want animask to post before me?

From what I see, your FoS on animask is based on animask's ignorance of the busdriver role; it doesn't have any argumentative standing. What makes you think animask is a mafia member?

Rolled wrote:

... I'm certain that he'd at least be able to comprehend Two's post enough to not require a TLDR version.
You overestimate animask. When he reads something he doesn't understand, he doesn't try to re-read it and comprehend it. He's a new player and needs hand-holding most of the time. (I like to help any player, regardless of orientation (see what I did there? ;P), so don't even think about pinning me on that.)

Rolled wrote:

My post regarding Two's post wasn't my thought process, necessarily. It was Two's thought process, but written in such a way that was, to me, more clear. I could better comprehend Two's analysis rewriting it in the way I did. I did add a few of my own comments inline, but those were intended to be inquisitory (I am a Shakespeare) because I wasn't sure I understood Two's points exactly. (Maybe a few counterarguments slipped by, but I can't change that now.) I wanted to be sure I was interpreting Two correctly.

I think you misunderstood what Rolled said. Re-read what he wrote before he commented about me.

Minor WIFOM? "Oh, no one will think both mafia would be so stupid as to jump on such an easy bandwagon! Hey buddy, let's hop on!"

Rolled wrote:

Stop causing confusion to the town please.
I like how your tunnel vision caused you to completely disregard everything foul has actually said. Let's look at this one post at a time (for all posts on just this the previous page (14)). For the purposes of the following analysis, which includes "duh" things you may be overlooking, I assume everything foul says in the quoted text is true.

foulcoon wrote:

I simply mean that I believe with good reason that myself, animask, and Ph0x are not mafia.
No facts can be drawn from this statement.

foulcoon wrote:

Assuming there are only 2 mafia I am certain that both animask and Ph0X are town. If there are more than 2 mafia I may be mistaken.
If foul is mafia, he is telling the truth if animask is town. (Of course, most readers can't have the same conclusion.)

If foul is town, foul knows that:
If there are two mafia members, they are not animask, Ph0X, or himself; therefore, two of bmin, Rolled, rust, and Two are mafia.
If there are more than two mafia members, he may be "mistaken", meaning animask and himself are not excluded from being mafia.
From this, I can assume that if foul is town, at least two mafia members voted for Q.
From this, I cannot assume that if foul is town, animask and Ph0X are town.

If foul is neutral, similar conclusions can be drawn as if foul is town, with some modifications I won't bother going into now (as I don't think there are neutral players in this game).

foulcoon wrote:

I know that 2 mafia voted for lynching Q.
This confirms the assumption above: "at least two mafia members voted for Q".

Now, how does "I know that 2 mafia voted for lynching Q." equate exactly to "I know animask and Ph0X are town"? You base your suspicion of foul being a mason on the latter, yet you're building your argument on straws (and non-tasty non-kawaii anime straws at that).

... Funny how Q starts talking only after he's dead.

Prod: rust, bmin
Rolled
Also to MOD: If player x claims publicly player y is Mason, must player y deny it (assuming player x is correct) or be subject to modkill?

Haven't even bothered to read ph0x's wall. I'm going to get a night's sleep before I attempt to.
rust45
Just gonna point out things that peak my interest at the moment, I'm taking this all into consideration but I need to take time to comprehend it all first(especially since Ph0x likes to write novels).

foulcoon wrote:

I don't understand the logic behind this, why would you get a role change as a replacement? I would change the game balance.

Rolled wrote:

Why are talking like the variation of mason where they can't roleclaim is in this game? The only way you could know that masons couldn't roleclaim is if you were a mason.

Anyway, that's all I have to say for now, I must look over all the current walls over again.
Rolled
Masons can never roleclaim Mason AFAIK, regardless of the variation.

1. Closed setup - So no. I cannot show what the PM looked like.

2. It depends on the setup. As you said, generally masons are not allowed to claim. How far each host takes that is up to the individual host or game, sometimes going as far as forcing them to deny it (since it still would be claiming mason, even if they were accused of it). Also, if player X was a mason with player Y and did the above, it would be player X who is modkilled. Finally, the extent of the punishment is also up to the current mod.

So foulcoon has a power to read how many mafia voted for. However, not ending from here, he also said this:

foulcoon wrote:

My assumption is; DxS was mason and as foulcoon replacing DxS, he received his new power. I think it's safe to say he is town since Mafia Mason isn't likely to receive another role and masons voting for their fellow mason isn't really logical...

I won't rule out other players who didn't vote for Q for the same reason raised by other players; there may be more then 2 mafias

May I ask you to reveal your alignments? It may bring some interesting points toward the D1 vote



My two suspicions are rust and Rolled (though my suspicion for Rolled is WIFOM)

rust45: the same reason as D1. Your accusation for Q seem like you were trying to cover your suspicion.

Rolled: Highly WIFOM.

Rolled wrote:

And take that fucking FoS off of me.
This is really unlike you. You overreacted towards foulcoon's FoS on you.
Now the WIFOM; I can basicaly use the same accusation you used for Ph0X, lynching the other influential player to gain more power during Days phase. I'm weighing since you immedietly went into action.
Two_old
foulcoon are you going to roleclaim so we can actually get somewhere

or are you going to leave us unsure as to whether you are actually sure that 2 mafia voted for quaraezha

edit: and I should add that by saying what you said you basically said that bmin11 and rolled are mafia, do you really think that?

@MOD, can there be multiple Mason groups? (since I don't think I can ask IF there are any)

@Ph0X, you make much more sense than Two, but just in case you're trying to mislead me I'll have to reread your post instead.
(I can't understand Two's post even after rereading...)
Oh, you could swap with a possible mafia. I haven't thought of that scenario yet...(offensive instead of defensive role)
Maybe he thought I wouldn't NK Rolled because I voted for him during Day 1. Meaning that I shouldn't have suspected Rolled
in the first place. If not, then he was just underestimating me and some other meta-gaming thing you guys are doing. (Reason for me being a bit unsure of the situation.) There is a lot of focus on this meta-pairing and assumptions...

I find it suspicious that all of you are acting like you are unable to understand plain english. I'm really not that bad of a writer, and my format wasn't bad either.

Also, you realize that if foulcoon does have the ability to see how many mafia voted for the lynch target, we have already won right? Let me show you:
Voted for Quaraezha
Rolled
Two
rust45
bmin11

If we voted for rolled today, mafia or not, that brings the list to:
Two
Rust45
bmin11

human count at that point would be 3:2 or 4:1

you then vote for either rust45 or bmin and you have a 100% chance to hit mafia if it's 3:2 or 50% if it's 4:1

the human count then looks like this: 2:1

finally, you lynch the remaining player

if there are 3 mafia members then this was a bad setup and I don't mind losing anyway

@foulcoon, 2 mafias voted for Quy? I see... (I did research.)
I believe you for now...

@Two, Rolled Two rust45 bmin11 are your suspects for mafia?
I see how you tried to narrow down the suspects (and included yourself), but
doing that makes me think that you're trying to protect someone (one person not Two) I couldn't resist a Two pun...
Just an idea because I don't have much information to back up that theory.

For a while, I was so lost in all the posts I didn't know what was going on. Now I get it...
Two_old
animask what I said isn't hard to understand

I'm going to try to make it pop-up book easy for you:

foulcoon: I know for SURE that there are 2 mafia who voted for quaraezha

two: here are all the people who voted for quaraezha, if we lynch them systematically then we win (if foulcoon roleclaims)
Lilac
^ this animask guy. XD ^

Regardless, seeing this, I'm not really sure what else you want me to say. You've pinned all who voted for Q yesterday as possible Mafia if foulcoon is actually DOES have the ability to see how many Mafia did vote for the lynch which I'm not sure where you brought that up from considering he hasn't even roleclaimed (remember, a claim is still...just a claim.), plus not including yourself in the statistic of percentage of lynching Mafia seems like you really want to distance yourself.

However, it is an interesting theory and a plausible one as well, so I won't ignore that. However, after lynching Rolled and finding out he is Mafia, it is also possible that if you were to lynch either Two, rust or I that the next day that you would get a 33% chance of lynching the right person. If Rolled wasn't, then it'll be a 66% chance next day.
Sleep Powder
almost FoS Two

I understood what you said and those are the people who voted for Quy, but if we actually miss 2 out of those
and it turns out that one of the 3rd (out of 4) isn't mafia, then that would be a townie disadvantage and you both would
be an accomplice or just foulcoon.

Idea not assumption

Two and foulcoon are mafia and claiming that there is a mafia member that voted for Quy when there isn't.
Two_old
Oh lord another one. I'm hoping mario's lack of understanding is founded in his inherited mafia role, and not elsewhere...
Lilac
I think you should be answering animask instead. I was just trying to correct your statistics, that's all.
Two_old
You can't correct something that is 100% accurate, sorry. And I don't feel that I should be answering someone who doesn't even understand what he himself is talking about. It's like he randomly puts words down. I actually think you should re-read the thread starting from the end of day 1, Lilac.

Maybe directly answering him will help him though?

@Two, Rolled Two rust45 bmin11 are your suspects for mafia?
no, ph0x is my suspect for mafia

but, if foulcoon is telling the truth and really knows without a doubt that 2 mafia voted for quaraezha, then it makes no sense to vote for ph0x and we should then vote for everyone who voted for quaraezha, except me

edit for addition: so I am waiting for foulcoon to roleclaim or correct himself

Regardless if it's 100% accurate, it's still circumstantial. I know what I'm talking about, Two. Unless you are confirmed town, your initial statistic is flawed COMPLETELY. If there are two Mafia and lynching both rust and I turns up we are both town, you've done wonderfully well. I've read through this whole thread and unless you've got specific evidence to say you are town then by all means continue to pummel me and go nowhere.

re-read the goddamn thread thx
Rolled
Question to everybody:
Which one of these three are the most likely situation for how foulcoon claims to be certain ph0x and animask are not mafia?

1.) Q, foulcoon, animask and ph0x are all Mason. (obviously not town mason)

2.) Q, foulcoon, animask OR ph0x are Mason, and foulcoon also is a Sane Cop

3.) foulcoon has the ability to see how many mafia members voted for the lynch target

4.) foulcoon is mafia.

5.) Other. please explain.

Truthfully I couldn't tell you why everybody is trusting foulcoon (so fucking blindly), but it appears that he is indeed trusted.
Now while I personally do not think that foulcoon is mafia (though it is a possibility), I strongly feel that he's just a terribly misguided townie. In fact, I'm still going to hold strong to my original post until foulcoon gives me reason to think otherwise.

Let me get this post out of the way. A textwall will be arriving in the near future, fair warning.

Rolled
Okay, there is a lot I want to say, and right now I'm really writing this whole post on the fly without much thought to the structure. Let me first of all get to the point.

If I am lynched today, the town will lose this game.
I am telling you this with utmost certainty. If I get lynched, another townie will get NKed, and the ratio will be 3 town: 2 mafia. Sure, there's a chance of town still winning, but it's a chance that it not worth taking.

The things that people pin on me for being scummy make me fucking facepalm.

I know bmin isn't even in this game anymore, but this is the situation that's sticking out the most in my head. Did everybody read my post to foulcoon? Like, READ it. Or did you just skim it, and in the end notice my sarcasm, and that's the only point sticking in your mind? Ask yourself if I (or anybody else) would build up a defense as strong as that as mafia. If your answer is yes, than thank you and all, but you're giving me way too much fucking credit.

I feel that my reasoning for feeling foulcoon being Mason is solid. I've also yet to see anybody question it. If you can't supply me reasoning as to why foulcoon is not Mason, than why is nobody considering the fact that maybe he is? Am I also the only one to notice how he went from smart ass, FoSing Rolled, super-certain Foulcoon to a grasping, kind of easy-going Foulcoon as soon as I posted?

Now let's go back and consider that maybe foulcoon has the ability to see who voted for the target on D1.

Has a role like this ever existed? Please give me a link to it on the wiki or something, as I'm not too familiar with mafia in general.
If you all are suggesting that it's a role LS just created on the spot, this game being the first to have it, I doubt that.
When LS has a new role idea, you can expect a public discussion before actually releasing it in a game.

If somebody can however direct me to the role which foulcoon supposedly has, then I will realize that I may need to change my approach in this game greatly. But until then, he's still Mason. And if foulcoon does not claim a role with this ability, than that only support the idea that he is Mason. He's practically claimed he has the ability to know that animask and ph0x are mafia, why not just state his role? (for those arguing that I'm role-fishing)

Goddddddd my thoughts are all over the place.

Let's just start quoting people now.

foulcoon wrote:

Also, my role PM doesn't say anything about masons at all.
The first suggestion is a joke. First and foremost, why the hell would LS give foulcoon a different role? Second, why the hell would foulcoon believe he had a different role? I see nothing but an attempt to grasp at something that isn't there in this post.

Q wrote:

We did not share Mason PMs to the mods
This above statement shows that Mason have the ability to communicate during the day (since Q was lynched d1, and Masons usually can only communicate at night IF at all) So that supplies some reasoning as to why this game is going in the direction it is going. It also supports my theory (in my eyes) that Ph0x is Mafia Mason, as his posts thus far haven't done anything but really reiterate what others have said. He's picking apart people's logic and reasoning in order to make himself seem to be open-minded to all possibilities, and hasn't really pursued any of his self-gathered tells.

In plain terms, I feel that Ph0x is using his daytime private talking ability to manipulate the other Mason's (foulcoon, animask?) into believing what they believe.

animask wrote:

I don't see how that would effect anything that's happening right now in this game.

Why are you so easy to believe foulcoon?

Okay I guess that's it. This post fucking blows.

Suggestion: Is there a ballot box manager out there? If so, roleclaim.
The easiest way to find whether Foulcoon is telling the truth or not will be to lynch him, and recount the votes if he happens to be pro-town.
If I'm understanding the Ballot Box Manager's role correctly, we can undo the lynching of foulcoon after we see his confirmed role?

No, I didn't see that. Let me look again.

Nope. I think you're letting your emotions affect your thinking.

Now let's go back and consider that maybe foulcoon has the ability to see who voted for the target on D1.

Has a role like this ever existed? Please give me a link to it on the wiki or something, as I'm not too familiar with mafia in general.
If you all are suggesting that it's a role LS just created on the spot, this game being the first to have it, I doubt that.
When LS has a new role idea, you can expect a public discussion before actually releasing it in a game.

If somebody can however direct me to the role which foulcoon supposedly has, then I will realize that I may need to change my approach in this game greatly. But until then, he's still Mason.
Knowledgeable townie and sensor are two I can think of. (The former usually gains their knowledge at the start of the game, but I wouldn't find it hard to believe they could gain knowledge throughout the game.)

Also, my role PM doesn't say anything about masons at all.
The first suggestion is a joke. First and foremost, why the hell would LS give foulcoon a different role? Second, why the hell would foulcoon believe he had a different role? I see nothing but an attempt to grasp at something that isn't there in this post.
I read that quote as "wtf are you talking about Rolled? maybe LS changed my role from mason to [whatever I am now], but I don't see how your conclusion relates to what I have said", or something. Maybe I am giving foul too much credit.

I'm picking apart people's logic for several reasons:

  2. I want to make sure I am not misunderstanding what they are saying.
  3. I want to write down conclusions I find along the way.
  4. I want to use my notes to help build an argument when I am ready.
And frankly, I am not ready quite yet.

Also, see what I have done day 1. What you just said contradicts what I have done.

I am not a mason. I also have never been a mason, and I have not dealt with masons in LS games. However, from what I know of masons, they typically do not communicate during the daytime.

What do you make of quaraezha's day 2 post then?

And what do you think about my idea of systematic lynching, assuming foulcoon claims sensor?
Ph0X
Let's say that there are seven players, and two of four specific players are known to be mafia.

Let's call those four potentially-mafia players A, B, X, and Y. Let's say A and B are townies, and X and Y are mafia.

It's clearly in the best interest of the mafia to kill players not in this set of four players, so I will not consider those possibilities.

Here are the possible lynch permutations, assuming all vanilla:

TT 1/4 M
Day 2, 7 players (5/2); lynch A; alive: B, X, Y
Day 3, 5 players (3/2); lynch B; alive: X, Y
Day 4, 3 players (1/2); mafia win

TMT 1/8 M
Day 2, 7 players (5/2); lynch A; alive: B, X, Y
Day 3, 5 players (3/2); lynch X; alive: B, Y
Day 4, 3 players (2/1); lynch B; alive: Y
Day 5, 1 players (0/1); mafia win

TMM 1/8 T
Day 2, 7 players (5/2); lynch A; alive: B, X, Y
Day 3, 5 players (3/2); lynch X; alive: B, Y
Day 4, 3 players (2/1); lynch Y; alive: B
Day 5, 2 players (2/0); town win

MTT 1/8 M
Day 2, 7 players (5/2); lynch X; alive: A, B, Y
Day 3, 5 players (4/1); lynch A; alive: B, Y
Day 4, 3 players (2/1); lynch B; alive: Y
Day 5, 1 players (0/1); mafia win

MTM 1/8 T
Day 2, 7 players (5/2); lynch X; alive: A, B, Y
Day 3, 5 players (4/1); lynch A; alive: B, Y
Day 4, 3 players (2/1); lynch Y; alive: B
Day 5, 2 players (2/0); town win

MM 1/4 T
Day 2, 7 players (5/2); lynch X; alive: A, B, Y
Day 3, 5 players (4/1); lynch Y; town win

(Format is: lynches in order (M=mafia, T=town), probability of the situation occurring given random chance, eventual win.)

Let's tally up the probabilities:

TT 1/4 M
TMT 1/8 M
TMM 1/8 T
MTT 1/8 M
MTM 1/8 T
MM 1/4 T

M = 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/8 = 1/2 = 50%
T = 1/8 + 1/8 + 1/4 = 1/2 = 50%

If we assume foul is telling the truth, randomly lynching will not tilt the odds in either team's favor. This is what MM (Lilac) was trying to say, Two.

Things are different if we are only looking at three players (one townie, two mafia). Basically, just chop off the TT, TMT, and MTT possibilities:

TMM 1/8 T
MTM 1/8 T
MM 1/4 T

So what do we get? A guaranteed townie win.

Of course, this all hinges on a few assumptions:
  1. foul is telling the truth.
  2. All lynches and nightkills are successful.
  3. No lynches and nightkills are reversed.
  4. There is one confirmed townie among the four.
If the "confirmed townie" is mafia, it's a guaranteed mafia win, unless someone wakes up in time.

"foul claims sensor" != "foul is proven sensor".

Also, there are the other assumptions to consider.

If those assumptions are made, yes, I agree with you. But those assumptions are not being made right now, so no, I do not agree with you.

There are modkills, and there may be a vig role or something. I don't like to discount circumstances which are very real and possible.

Question to Ph0X: What happens if there are no lynches made today?

Something tells me that the odds would be terrible...
Two_old
we are already down 2 town so that makes it either:

3 mafia vs 4 town (lol)
or
2 mafia vs 5 town

nolynch would make it 100%

3 mafia vs 2 town
or
2 mafia vs 3 town

nolynch is always bad but especially now

You guys will just have to trust me on this one.

I like Two's plan, but remove the voting for Rolled specifically part and the exempting Two from lynching (that he is trying to work in so badly). I'm more inclined to believe that bmin wouldn't just drop out of a mafia role and ask for replacement, but its always a possibility.

Wait, I'm getting voted for somewhere in this strategy?

Does this translate to "rust and Two are mafia?" I'm confused.
Two_old
are you saying you don't have a sensor role?

yes/no? very simple

and I'm not trying "very badly" to exclude myself, I already excluded myself in my first post, which was then supported by rolled and ph0x

which is why it's funny that ph0x even voted for me

I find it suspicious that all of you are acting like you are unable to understand plain english. I'm really not that bad of a writer, and my format wasn't bad either.

Also, you realize that if foulcoon does have the ability to see how many mafia voted for the lynch target, we have already won right? Let me show you:
Voted for Quaraezha
Rolled
Two
rust45
bmin11

If we voted for rolled today, mafia or not, that brings the list to:
Two
Rust45
bmin11


human count at that point would be 3:2 or 4:1

you then vote for either rust45 or bmin and you have a 100% chance to hit mafia if it's 3:2 or 50% if it's 4:1

the human count then looks like this: 2:1

finally, you lynch the remaining player

if there are 3 mafia members then this was a bad setup and I don't mind losing anyway
Also, I am not saying that I don't have an aux role. As a matter of fact, I do have an aux role. I'll leave it at that. The fate of town basically rests on a voting alliance with myself, Ph0X and animask (or myself, one of Ph0X OR animask, and 2 of the 4 accused). Once all 3 of us vote one way, at least one of the 4 accused should vote the same way, starting the systematic lynching of the 4 giving us what I believe is the best chance at winning this.

@Ph0x, animask: your thoughts?
Two_old
look, you say ph0x and animask aren't mafia

I believe 100% animask isn't, and I believe you aren't

you also say that 2 mafia voted for quaraezha

I'm willing to vote for rust45 or Lilac, and I'd prefer rust45 since he's been lurking this whole game

edit for elaboration: we have 3 lynches left so rust45 will be the information everyone needs

rust45 and Lilac (bmin) are the only two who haven't outright claimed town (I think?). Its not that I completely believe either Two or Rolled, I just find it ironic. I'm starting to lean towards voting rust as he has been just lurking for the most part, and I've had my suspicions in the past about him.

Whoa Whoa Whoa, hold on. Don't you think it's tad early to be trying to bandwagaon someone? Yes I have been lurking-ish and I know it does hurt the game. But I can't really help it. Honestly, I think it's suspicious how you guys are going so fast at trying to get a bandwagon in. I'm gonna put on FoS: Two for now as I think it's a tad early for voting(even if we can unvote at the moment) I would but an FoS on rolled but I have reason to believe he's townie.

cry more

the fact is you have lurked for this whole game, I've seen you do it just by being active myself

I can't even remember anything you have contributed and I feel it was intentional

your death gives too much information, it makes no sense not to lynch you when you also have been acting like mafia

@rust45, early isn't really an issue, but what makes you think Rolled is a townie?

edit: at least have the humility to ask questions and educate yourself
Two_old
you know what? I'm tired of this game

I'm tired of having to try to convince people that refuse to read, that refuse to comprehend, that refuse to even participate in this game

newsflash: I was confirmed town day 2

anyone with half a brain that read the thread knew that already (ie no one)

but I guess that isn't plain enough for you people is it? how about this:

roleclaim sane cop

that good enough? lets just get rid of our safety net and rest all of our hopes on whether foulcoon is lying or not (hint: he is if we lynch rust45 and he isn't mafia)

Two_old
at night I scanned rolled but was roleblocked, when chris died in the morning I knew for sure that he used his ability on me because of that

I then figured that if rolled were to night kill me it wouldn't have been because he thought I was aux, and so he wouldn't roleblock me

so then I turned to the other person who supposedly thinks: ph0x, and centered my post around the point of him being mafia

and then we have his name cleared by the information that 2 mafia voted for quaraezha

and so that leaves rust45 (likely to be mafia by his actions), lilac (likely to be mafia by his actions, also tried to group me, rolled and chris together as bmin, which he thought was safe at that point since it had already been said twice before that I believe), and rolled, who is almost definitely not mafia for multiple reasons

because of the above, here is what you do:
lynch rust45 today, he is confirmed mafia for sure, force lilac not to vote for him
then I die at night, foulcoon says how many mafia voted for rust45 in the morning
when he gets 0, you then lynch lilac and win

worst case scenarios:
1. rolled is mafia and it takes 1 extra day to win, big deal
2. foulcoon lied (most likely if rust45 is town), in which case you lynch foulcoon on day 3 and choose between animask and ph0x on day 4 (I suggest ph0x)

now don't expect me to reply to anything stupid you say in response, I will only be voting from now on for the sake of my sanity

Well Two that's funny, because I don't believe you're the cop. Considering I'm the cop.
And last night I investigated Rolled and found him to be innocent. As to what you're trying to pass off as the truth, it's untrue considering I'm the cop.

He's my theory of what happened assuming you're mafia:
You or your partner wanted to kill Rolled because you figured a kill on him would distance you from the killing, but Chris had swapped himself with Rolled. Thus Chris got killed instead. Then you assumed this when the day started and decided to try to make people think you were the attempted murder of the night, trying to make you look town.
Rolled
God damnit.

Two wrote:

Two is also suggestiing that he was both the target for NK, and roleblocked. That's just kind of weird, and would be hard for him to conclude both just based on what he thinks my meta would be.

Okay, suggestions now, based on Two's plan ^_^:

Either Rust or Two is mafia, this goes without say based on counter-claims and LAL policy.

Rust's overall cop claim story sounds more believable. Focusing solely on the cop-claim, not activity that happened earlier in the game.

The ratio of humans:mafia right now is 5:2. If we lynch Two today, the possibilities are as follows:

1.) Two is mafia. Day 3 ratio will be 1:4, and assuming foulcoon's claim is correct, lilac is the other mafia.
2.) Two's is town. Day 3 ratio will be 2:3, however (still assuming foulcoon is correct), Lilac and Rust are both mafia.

The only way town will lose is if foulcoon or myself is mafia. I appear to have support of my innocence from both mafia side and town side, and I along with other people have reason to believe foulcoon is town.

This is pretty much an attempt to redeem myself in this game, as I've been an absolute terrible town player. I'll be changing the way I play for future games. Sorry team :(
Two_old
oh cool rust45 admits he's mafia now

the reason why I said sane cop is because I asked ladysuburu immediately if I was sane

she said that she shouldn't tell me this but yes

If you were willing to vote Rust/Rolled/Bmin, based on just foulcoon's claim, then why are you not willing to substitute yourself in there. It's the same concept, town will still win.

Think about this: rust45 knows that town can do that. Why would he even bother to roleclaim then unless that plan wouldn't work?

Also, I never said I wouldn't, you just assumed that out of thin air again. You are predisposed to believing I'm mafia. That's why you went from thinking rust45 was mafia, to his weak counterclaim suddenly making me look like mafia. No rational person goes from point a to d.

Anyway if you guys really end up being dumb enough to buy his claim, the safest course of action is just to leave us both alive and lynch Lilac. I absolutely refuse to vote for myself based on not only the first sentence of this post, but principle and pride. That really is a pathetic counterclaim.

here is what is most likely: rust45 Lilac and ph0x are mafia

why? role distribution: town has 3 aux+2masons (bus driver sensor cop)

rust45 roleclaiming makes no sense if it's just him and Lilac, since buying a day doesn't do anything -- unless all you need is a day because there are 3 mafia left

it literally makes 0 sense to lynch me over Lilac, unless you are mafia (hi ph0x)

2 mafia voted for quaraezha

rust and I roleclaimed the same role
Lilac is the only one left

IF there are 3 mafia, it would make no sense to gamble by voting for one of the roleclaimed cops (since one is definitely town, or do you dispute even that?), and instead it would make sense to vote for Lilac and compare aux information day 3
Sleep Powder
I do find it a bit odd that Ph0X would agree with my emotional response scum-tell.

I would expect something a bit more to reinforce his ideas. (Sort of meta-gaming...)

FoS Ph0X

@Two, we have a confirmed Bus Driver, but no actual confirmed sensor. (Did foulcoon roleclaim sensor yet?)

rust45 claims that he is the actual cop and not you.

Also, you shouldn't lie. If rust45 claims as the cop and you say its a lie, that can only mean that you are mafia or are
just hiding something in general.

Rolled's unvote (could say) that he is actually a townie and believed Two wasn't mafia, but
is now unsure because of rust45's roleclaim. Then again, this could be a setup by Rolled and rust45
to make Two look guiltier.

Now, I'm just throwing random ideas out there...

foulcoon isn't allowed to claim obviously

and please animask, I beg you to understand this one thing if nothing else: rust45 claimed cop in order to buy the 1 day that his team of 3 mafia needs to win the game
rust45
You seem so sure of yourself that there are three mafia, while this cannot be true at all. Considering in the OP of the game, LS said that the setup for the game will resemble one from this topic with a few other roles added. I honestly don't think LS would consider a three mafia setup to resemble one of those setups which are all two mafia setups. I honestly don't get where you got the idea that there were three mafia, sounds like you're trying to come up with crazy theories to try to get people off your back.
Two_old
We already know for a fact that our role setup doesn't resemble anything from that topic. Yet another weak post. Here is my full theory:

Two:cop 1
foulcoon:sensor 2
quaraezha:mason 3
animask:mason \\ ph0x:mason (yeah right rofl) 4
chris: bus driver 5
rust45: mafia 6
Lilac: mafia 7
ph0x: mafia \\ animask:mafia (yeah right rofl) 8

but then we get to rolled, the 9th player, which we can then conclude two things (if the rest is right):

1. rolled isn't mason
2. rolled is either the sole vanilla town, or he is aux as well

since I find it unlikely that rolled is the sole vanilla town, and since this game is called "experimental mafia", I think the experiment was this: there is no vanilla town

so are you aux rolled? that would confirm my theory, but even if he isn't we can still assume that he is the sole vanilla and that 3 aux + 2 masons are overpowered enough for there to be 3 mafia
Two_old
I'd like to thank rust45 for allowing me to flesh all of this out. Without him I wouldn't have realized there were 3 mafia, and without him I wouldn't have confirmed animask's innocence. Thanks bud.
