The day dawns. The body of Michael Cera is on the floor. But suddenly, his spirit rises from him.


Backfire was Michael Cera, the restless spirit. Though he is dead, he still keeps his ability to vote on the lynch.
It is now Day Seven. This phase will last until around 9pm GMT on Friday 24rd February. With 4 voters it takes 3 votes to hammer.

Nothing new was observed since you last investigated Rantai.

it's ly-lo today

Vote: Sync

With Hitter confirmed for me, there is no other possibility unless I have missed something important.

right

vote: Rantai

I'm not mafia, so you're the only remaining mafia left ;_;

NoHItter is the king-something

I know you aren't going to take it lightly, so feel free to ask questions NoHItter.

Rantai~~ You will be defeated and you will not avenge your scumbuddies DxS and Wojjan

Rantai: Explain the flavor connect between Micheal Jackson, being busy and Lightning Rod.

Oh and both you and Sync please explain why you aren't Mafia, and why.

Basically my flavour states;

I am the king of pop that attracts all sorts of people from around the world with my music, whether that be fans, critics or enemies. Unfortunately it seems that even those who are meant to protect me from others and myself cannot fulfill this role, therefore making me a macho lightning rod.

Also Sync, claim your full role with flavor and all.

Hi, my name is Sync and I am a pro-town flavor cop.

I am not mafia because I was assigned this role by Mashley. My win condition is when all threats to town are eliminated. Moreover, I've provided scans every single day for town to speculate on. Nobody has counterclaimed yet, with the exception of Chris, whom was read to be mafia. On the note of Chris, it was certainly my biggest mistake in this game: firstly, a mislynch that was likely caused by my incessant posts against him. Most importantly, however, it was a lot of wasted effort that did no good. It was regrettable.

... other than that, as stated previously, nobody has denied my claims. Town has used them to it's advantage several times to come to conclusions and weigh in-and-out possible scum.

Provided with those details, and my statement alone: the only possible remaining mafia in this game is Rantai. That is why you should vote for him.

ninja'd twice

You are Brad Pitt. Your many years of experience of an actor have taught you to be able to deduce certain things about the people around you. Each night, you may observe one player and gain information about their abilities. You are a Flavour Cop.

You win when all threats to the town have been eliminated.

ok Rantai, post your image too.

Rantai's flavour:

You are Michael Jackson. Every night, you may select one child to sleep with. Alongside that, you are a three-shot Framer because you have been framed many times before and now it is your turn.

Hmm... Rantai is this your image? If not please counterpost.

Edit:
LOL Sync, just realized it was sarcastic.

lol'd

Sorry, mahjong is addictive.

Also a framer hardly fits MJ. At the very least I can't think of a way it can fit.

Sync, explain your false report on Chris.

Edit: So you're really saying that Chris was framed?

It wasn't actually false -- that's the report I got from scanning him.

Every report was copy and pasted directly from the PM (except for the very first 2 I posted; those were paraphrased in fear that I wasn't allowed to quote the PM directly. I later on posted the ones directly from the PM)

Hmm Rantai, post your exact role PM.
Just need to confirm one last thing.

Edit:
Also Sync, so your report on Chris really mentioned him being mafia?

Yes NoHItter

Chris "Jesus Christ shines with a holy light. I'd expect him to be sided with town, but I was shocked to find that he has turned evil - he works with the mafia."

going to bed now night

"You are Michael Jackson – the king of pop. You are a force of music, attracting fans, critics and enemies alike. However, the ones you depended on to protect you from others and yourself are unable to perform their duty. Once this game, you may attract all night actions towards you but you may not be protected from night kills. You are a macho lightning rod.

You win when all threats to the town have been eliminated."

And Rantai, that's a direct copy paste of your role?

Yes.

So we either lynch between Michael Jackson who is a Framer from Sync' perspective.
Or lynch Brad Pitt who is a Flavor Cop who got a wrong result regarding Two.

Rantai:
Gut says Rantai. His play style also has been "off" from his regular town play.
Right now, Rantai seems to be copying my style of play in Unnamed Mafia - staying neutral and giving some opinions and relying on facts more than reads.
His skill when he was motivated was also very convenient from scum. Not dying when targeted could "verify" his role without him dying.

And there's the matter of his claim:
"You are a macho lightning rod."

My role PM:
"You are an Odd Night Commuter."
Nitpicking, but when compared to Sync's claim: "You are a Flavour Cop." I can see the pattern.

There was also this huge delay between me calling him out and him actually posting the PM, which given the case of just copy-pasting, seems suspicious, as opposed to Sync's near instant posting of his role PM.
(Plus I know you were online in Sentou Gakuen, so I know you could have posted earlier.)

Sync:
Big fiasco regarding the lynch of Chris. I was a bit suspicious that a flavor cop would actually have a result of "guilty" in the actual report, because we had our own cop. Why would there be a doubling of roles? The only possible reason is a Framer, but the chances of actually Framing someone is low. (Targeting Chris, at the same time Framer would target Chris too)

But somehow, I think the very fact that Sync pushed THIS hard on Chris' lynch makes it seem that he really believed that Chris was guilty. IMO Mafia making a gambit like that is VERY risky. I wouldn't do something like out my previous scumbuddy (Wojjan) and then accuse someone like Chris, only to have his report turn out wrong. There are many ways this could have ended badly if he were really scum.

Plus Sync' play has been consistently giving off this townie feeling. He always questions and bounces off his thoughts as compared to Rantai who has been sort of quiet throughout the game. (Though the days ending when we were asleep could attest to this.)

Final Thoughts:
Rantai gave off more scumtells, and Sync looks more townie even with the Chris fiasco.
If I am over-complicating this then gg Sync and sorry town, but for now:
Vote: Rantai

Backfire, you should vote Rantai too.
(And now I can hopefully study for my biology exam part 2)

While I've got a break from being thrashed in Mahjong;

It comes down to this really:

- Does a framer sound like something MJ would fit into?

(No, he was accused of crimes - note: not framed or did any framing, I believe he wasn't prosecuted due to lack of evidence)

- If no to the above then Sync's 'guilty' on Chris completely falls apart as there is no way he was framed UNLESS Hitter is mafia (which he is not, due to no quick hammer).

- Brad Pitt is an ACTOR. While his cop claim may be truthful, a flavour cop can easily be mafia. With the acting part put in, it actually makes sense as he can 'act' as town while being mafia.

- His outing of Wojjan was most probably a gambit to seem as town as possible as Wojjan was already under immense scrutiny (roleblocker claim, come on). You have to admit that is extremely easy to pull off given the circumstances.

- Don't forget that he was willing to rush the lynch into a basically guaranteed loss on the last day.

Anyway that's all I can point out at the moment, don't hammer just yet.

*crosses fingers*

That's the hammer. Lynch scene in a sec!

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Mvp goes to NoHitter clearly, goooooooooood job gg.

After a long, hard week of lynches, this was it. This was the final lynch. The entire game hung in the balance.
The celebrities chose their final lynch - Michael Jackson.


They had done it! Michael Jackson was the final member of the mafia!
The two surviving celebrities, Bradd Pitt (Flavour Cop) and Adele (Odd Night Commuter), alongside the spirit of Michael Cera, skipped freely away from the centre.

Rantai was Michael Jackson, the Mafia Framer. He could plant evidence on one player each night to implicate them as a 'smooth criminal' and make them appear guilty to any investigations. He had also inherited the role of Godfather after the death of Dustin Hoffman.

TOWN HAS WON THE GAME!

Mafia chat was here if you're interested: http://www.quicktopic.com/47/H/AnkYmmTU8djDn
I'll post more info in a bit, in the mean time feel free to ask any questions you have.

Good game all. I am satisfied~

Edit: Beware, mafia chat is 99% my ramblings.

Gut + Tells + Caps Locks Failure =

Edit: I can finally study without any nagging feeling now.

"The two surviving celebrities, Bradd Pitt (Flavour Cop) and Adele (Odd Night Commuter), alongside the spirit of Michael Cera, skipped freely away from the centre." This sounded so fucking epic. Spirit of Michael Cera. Yesssss.

Yep, say what you want about the balance but this game was a huge success. It's been one of the most active games on this forum ever, second only to You Are Mafia and that game had 23 players compared to this game's 12 which is obviously a huge difference. I will host Celebrity PYP Part 2 at some point in the future.
