I have no reason to suspect 0_o, just random voting to spark conversation.

Not going to vote yet though, need to see how this turns out.

So, if I understand the point of the retarded joker role, it's to help the mafia slightly? Just how likely is the role to appear in a game this size do you all think?

Regardless of what strager gave as evidence, I still don't believe that heshe is the joker. I think it was just something heshe lucked? into, since they admittedly don't know what they are doing.

LS' Big Mafia 1 had a Jester which basically is the joker.
I don't believe this joker crap though. Either Nakata is really really dumb, really really really dumb or really smart.
Judging them I'm inching towards one of the first two.

I wouldn't say he's dumb, he's just new to this stuff that's all.

Anyway, if he is the jester and none of us want a shared win, then a fairly standard way of dealing with it is by not lynching him today and letting the mafia NK him tonight. If he is not NK'd tonight then we lynch him tomorrow. This way, if he is a predator then yay, we lynch a predator tomorrow. If not, the mafia won't want to take a chance that he is a jester and kill him tonight so we don't lynch him tomorrow.

Though again, this is only if nobody wants a shared win. I dunno how the predators would feel about sharing their win in exchange for a human being lynched tomorrow, and I don't know what all of you think either. So DISCUSS.

Why would they nightkill himher? If the game continues even after a joker's death, I don't see the downside for the mafia. I don't even see a point to the joker role existing except to help the mafia... so please tell me how what you said makes sense.

Basically the only reason for nightkilling the jester would be so if they won, the game would be a "Predator win!" and not "Predator and Jester win!" But then again,

Maybe they're greedy and want the game to themselves - maybe not.

All I know is that there have been several osu!mafia games with a jester involved, and I wouldn't put it past SFG to throw one into this one.

I haven't seen a small game (13 people) have a jester yet. (though I may be wrong since I haven't exactly joined a lot of games)
Though the probability of having a jester are slim, there's still a chance.

Nakata's actions scream Jester to me, yet he's doing it wrong.
(Basically) Openly admitting that you're a jester won't get you lynched.
Instead people will use reverse psychology and assume that you're just pretending to be a jester.
Two_old
- If they are the joker, they're just going to keep saying annoyingly stupid things

- If they are the joker, they won't get nightkilled (unless the mafia is retarded this game, like the wolves from the past 2 games)

- If they aren't the joker, they won't get nightkilled (unless the mafia is retarded this game, like the wolves from the past 2 games)

- If they are a part of the mafia, they won't get nightkilled obviously.

Basically the only way around being stuck with the bill of lynching them is for someone to investigate them.
Mashley
This is confusing :( We don't even know if there is a joker

Sorry, it's bugging me: the role's actually called the Jester, not Joker.

Also, mod: If a jester is investigated, would the outcome be Guilty or Not Guilty (assuming investigations don't reveal entire roles)?

Possible results of an investigation include "mafia," "neutral," and "town." A jester, along with any other third party, would come up as being "neutral."

WIFOM. A tricky jester could pretend to be a mafia pretending to be a jester. Although seeing as he's a new player, it would seem more likely that if he was the jester then he would bank on everyone else not knowing about the possibility of a jester role.

NoHitter
I'm curious as why Two unvoted.
Reason please?

Also, what did Nakata post before he "removed" it.
pieguyn
I haven't posted because I haven't made up my mind yet, especially now that I can assume Nakata Yuji had an important role of sorts. Unless he was a wolf pretending to have such a role, or unless Two and Nakata Yuji are both wolves. (I didn't vote Nakata Yuji previously because I had a hunch it would be a bad idea, but eh.)

That actually seems rather likely, both Two and Nakata Yuji being wolves. o_o If they were two wolves and putting on a show to fool all of us, it would definitely make sense if Nakata Yuji went and confused all of us and then Two played Nakata Yuji off as innocent just now. On the other hand, this situation would make a lot of sense if both of them were townsfolk or of either one of them was a wolf. Now I really can't make up my mind... :?

Anyway, might as well vote Two since I'm still not sure about lynching Nakata Yuji at this point.

Two was the only person that saw it. Both strager and I refreshed just that little too late. I'm not sure what possible reason Two might have for keeping this information hid, other than covering for Nakata.
pieguyn
@Mashley: If we lynch Nakata Yuji and he turns out to be innocent we'll likely end up losing a very important role given how Two was acting. (Note that Two would act that way regardless of whether he is a wolf or not because if he is he'd want to avoid suspicion.) As a result lynching Two seems like a safer bet.
Two_old
The problem with your logic is that if they did indeed claim to be a valuable role, and I was a wolf, I could have not only avoided suspicion but I could have lynched that valuable role by simply doing nothing.
Wojjan
Maybe he publicly claimed wolf and gave up?
Nakata Yuji
This has taken an interesting turn of events.
I see why people are voting for Two as it is, as he's been very aggressive.
Given what I posted, even I don't know why he unvoted.

He's been acting the same way up until he thought he was lynched. It had nothing to do with what anyone else thought.

''Wojjan wrote:

i just want the day to end, actually
also i would consider that a facade
so I voted for him, and was followed by nohitter and mashley; mashley's post was:

Mashley wrote:

Yeah, this is very suspicious. Nataka seems anxious to get the day over with and have someone out. Here's a PM I recieved from her:
Quote:
change your vote to wojjan or 0_o and I'll change mine to what you do

Now, if we assume that Nataka is scum, then that would make Wojjan and 0_o innocent, wouldn't it?
Unvote, Vote Nataka Yuji
In retrospect, there are several things about this post that rub me the wrong way. The first is the, by itself, innocent fact that they voted as part of a bandwagon. The next part most people will probably disagree with me on, but it's "Yeah, this is very suspicious". Stating things as fact actually is a very effective way to persuade people, as they take it in subconsciously. It's similar to how people say the person's name that they're talking to in order to gain control of a conversation. I think that it was deliberately stated that way, and this is backed up by the last bit, "Now, if we assume that Nataka is scum, then that would make Wojjan and 0_o innocent, wouldn't it?", where he tries to influence the game's perception of not only Nakata, but of Wojjan, 0_o, and himself. Making people believe that x cannot be y because x is opposite of z is extremely valuable for wolves/mafia/whatever, since it allows one of their members to go unsuspected and coast to the finish line.

Then, Mashley posted a screenshot of the pm that Nakata sent him. He had to remove it, but this is what was said in response:

Mashley wrote:

"Nakata Yuji wrote:
notice how you can't see what he sent."

What exactly are you suggesting? >_<
^ ">_<" is acting cute/innocent again

and again...:

Mashley wrote:

Want to explain how telling people about a suspicious PM you sent me is suspicious? Or are you just accusing me for the hell of it? And didn't you just admit to being scum a few posts ago? >_<
Only this time he not only tries to effect your perception with ">_<", but by stating "didn't you just admit to being scum a few posts ago?"

later he posted:

Mashley wrote:

This is confusing :( We don't even know if there is a joker
again trying to be perceived as ignorant/innocent

and finally:

Mashley wrote:

People realise Nataka is acting Jester - Nataka stops acting Jester

Cause and effect, NoHItter ;)
This is the post that made me go back and look. It's so painfully ignorant that it's on the same level as Wojjan's troll post. It's to the point where there just has to be an ulterior motive behind it. Yeah the motive could be good, but go back and find evidence in his posts that supports that, cause I couldn't find it.
so vote: Mashley
Mashley
You based an entire argument on my use of smileys? You do realise I use those all the time, right?
And the thing with 0_o and Wojjan, that was an if. If Nataka ia scum, which I reckon she probably is, then her actions would suggest Wojjan and 0_o as innocent. I'm not trying to sway anything, just considering the possibility.
Two_old

Mashley wrote:

downplaying things is also an effective tactic, but where does your mind trickery end :( >_<?
Mashley
Because being effective makes me scum, right?
Wojjan
Mash dear I think you know enough of mafia games and the like to see that there's this certain tactic called distancing I and 0_o could be doing. If someone acts scummy and we jump on it to accuse him and lo behold it's really a mafia, then people will get townie vibes from us, while it's not certain that I'm actually town. See last game where two blatantly fell for my trickeries.
Since my vote is more or less useless with the almost-majority stck in yay-nay over Nakata, I might as well Unvote and vote at a later date. I'll put up a vote for a no lynch until I decide to drop in again, just to save me a nasty phantom vote for D2.

Oh 2, I really really think you could do better than calling people out on their use of emoticons.

:P >_<
Nakata Yuji
when exactly did i quit acting jester...?
type with proper caps = not jester?
when did one ever say that jesters can't make pseudo-insightful posts?



and 2's speech of emoticons somewhat makes sense to me, I would compare the usage of such to judging one by facial expressions
though i'm probably just going to watch how this works out.

apparently, 2 knows what I am, so you might as well confirm what i am before you label me as scum <3

Around when it was pointed out that you were acting Jester, Nakata. I thought that was quite obvious.

For the record, this game does not utilize phantom votes. If you are inactive you will be prodded. If you don't pick up your prod, I will forcibly replace you. If you are prodded repeatedly without any sign of picking up your activity beyond the bare minimum, I will forcibly replace you. If, after a significant period of time, I am unable to fill an inactive slot, that slot will be modkilled.

I don't see how nakata roleclaiming would benefit town at all. You people are already guaranteeing they get night killed anyway, since you wouldn't leave talk about their role alone. It's also made me consider why even after the post they made, thinking they were already dead, all of you are still voting for them. Is it maybe because half of the voters know that nakata is town and won't give up the lynch?

Yeah.

I do have a reason.

You kept Nakata's roleclaim to yourself.

Either you're a Townie trying to cover up Nakata's mistake (in which case, why did you say in IRC that Nakata posted their role?) or you're scum trying to either (1) get the votes off your scum buddy who (oops!) "claimed" to get out of a rough situation, or (2) get votes onto another player by playing "hero" by "protecting" Nakata from "possible scum" (like DC and I, who were in IRC at the time).

If you had not gloated that you saw Nakata claim to DC and I in IRC, I may not have thought so much of your unvote and your keeping the roleclaim private. However, you did gloat, and you did refuse to reveal why you did unvote shortly thereafter. I cannot really see any other alternative than "Two is scum".
